Chapter 1426: Emperor's Calculation, The Shocked Lord of the Longevity Dao Palace

The old man fell completely silent, then relaxed a little, gazing quietly at Tu Xin. He had been observing this terrifying man's combat prowess and astonishing talent all along, and it was truly frightening.

He had also blended into the Myriad Worlds, even watching the battle in the nine Genesis universes alongside Rong Cheng and others, though the Longevity Saints were unaware of his presence. Given his cautious nature, he naturally needed to constantly observe the changes outside.

"Tu Xin, your wisdom surpasses that of ancient times and even transcends the life limits of us old beings! I cannot compare to you; I merely have seniority."

The old man smiled wryly, humility etched on his face, looking utterly guileless, then suddenly said, "Let's formally introduce ourselves. My former name was Chen Qiuguo, but you can call me Ren Jiu."

"A codename from the Longevity World? A Daoist title?" Tu Xin listened to the name but didn't seem to care. For such ancient beings, a name was merely a designation.

"However, Ren Jiu, that's a truly fitting name, very much in line with the Longevity Dao Palace." Tu Xin smiled, then added, "Too bad..."

Tu Xin suddenly fell silent.

Ren Jiu said softly, "I also possess knowledge of the singularity, just like the two of you. As soon as the era descends, I can immediately break through to the Eleventh Order. I shouldn't lose at all. What exactly do you mean?"

He couldn't find a reason why he would lose. Once the era arrived, he would break through to the Eleventh Order at the fastest possible speed. Even if his opponent was fast, they would only be as fast as him. At that point, they would address each other as "fellow Daoists," and he would be the guaranteed winner.

While others fought fiercely for positions, he was already destined to be one of the Eleventh Order existences, so he preferred not to get involved. He clearly knew that if the Longevity World entered the secular world, it risked being overthrown. As long as he remained out of the world, he could perpetually hold the upper hand.

"Logically speaking, that is indeed true," Tu Xin said. "There is nothing that can stop you from attaining the Dao, or kill you... Before the era descends, who can defeat you, a Longevity Saint? You are the strongest being of your bloodline! Once the era descends, who can prevent you from attaining the Dao? No one can enter the Longevity World and contend with you. You are flawless."

"But is that truly the case? A so-called miracle is precisely something that goes beyond human imagination; that's why it's called a miracle."

Hearing this, the old man suddenly seemed to grasp something.

"Yes, a miracle... Breaking the impossible is a miracle, and that guy's miraculous martial art!" Tu Xin said softly. "What kind of miracle is his martial art meant to create?"

"It is to allow someone to attain the Eleventh Order directly and in advance, even before the universe is fully mature and the era of the Eleventh Order's arrival!"

"Impossible!!!" the old man roared instantly.

"Turning the impossible into possible is a miracle," Tu Xin said softly. "Not a true Eleventh Order, but half of one."

The old man fell completely silent. Half was already enough.

Tu Xin said, "We're back to the previous question: If an Eleventh Order existence descends and you haven't yet broken through to the Eleventh Order, can the Longevity World withstand it? Will you even have the chance to break through?"

"At that time, an existence would be high above, and you wouldn't be able to break through, nor would we." Tu Xin stated.

The old man was utterly silent. "That person... is he so ruthless?"

"Long ago, his experiences already foretold everything. He aims to suppress the entire era, to rule through all eternity and become a taboo," Tu Xin murmured, quoting the players' words:

"When I have not yet become a god, there shall be no gods in the world."

The old man's mind was utterly disturbed. He truly felt the terror of Emperor Zun. An ancient existence from the prehistoric universe... That domineering aura, his chaotic yet brilliant strategic layouts, and his magnificent struggle with Tu Xin began to fill him with apprehension. If this was true, then he too would be brutally knocked down from his high perch, unable to escape his fate...

"This feels like a predetermined karma. No existence can remain eternally supreme, not even our Longevity Dao Palace."

The old man suddenly sat on his throne, recalling the words he had once spoken to the Longevity Saints. Just like now, he couldn't help but reveal an indescribable bitterness. He wanted to escape, to avoid entering the world, precisely because he feared a situation like this, but ultimately, it was not up to him.

"Therefore, I've called upon you," Tu Xin said. "Venerable Sir, do you have a solution?"

The old man continued to smile bitterly. "A solution?" No wonder even Tu Xin himself couldn't find any hope.

"Tell me in detail about his cultivation technique," the old man said, concentrating intently.

Tu Xin finished speaking.

The old man paused in silence. "There is one more way. Only a variable can defeat a variable."

"Fortunately, I've prepared too many contingencies over the long years. Otherwise, I would truly be helpless."

Tu Xin smiled slightly upon hearing this, looking at the old man before him. This ancient, behind-the-scenes existence had countless hidden methods. Tu Xin knew that his numerous trump cards were no less potent than his own. If such an existence were to make a move...

Inside the Chaotic Singularity.

Xu Zhi observed Tu Xin, who had a calm expression and had quietly settled down to study and deduce the singularity. Xu Zhi remained quite unperturbed.

"He must have realized how terrifying my cultivation technique is, and finally stopped making wild guesses."

Xu Zhi's expression was calm as he continued to deduce his own cultivation technique; in fact, he had already made some progress. While Tu Xin was successively opening new paths, if Xu Zhi, after so much time spent on his own deductions, still couldn't open even a single path, there would be no point in living. Moreover, Xu Zhi possessed the Grand Universe cultivation technique.

"I've already made some progress," Xu Zhi murmured. He said softly, looking at the singularity outside, "Indeed, my initial guess was correct. I need to use the power of the singularity..." He lowered his head, observing himself turning into a singularity, and mused, "So that's how one uses the power of the singularity to cultivate this technique?"

"Tu Xin is indeed a terrifying person. He guessed the grand concept behind my cultivation technique, even developing it one step ahead of me... that's why he's afraid."

"Because my concept is to use the singularity as a power furnace."

"The Nine Revolutions Profound Technique of old used a sun as a power furnace in its central space, with nine inner spaces constantly revolving around it... But today, using a singularity as the power furnace with nine universes revolving around it—this is the true body of Pangu, the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique."

Xu Zhi stood up, watching the cosmic singularity explode once more. "It's almost ready. Understanding the power of the singularity is indeed the key to solving this."

The thirty-second great explosion began.

"Fear is normal, because my miraculous martial art is a powerful, permanent suppression that prevents them from ever recovering, transforming myself into the strongest man in history, mastering the power of the universe."

The cosmic singularity had fully returned, and the great explosion commenced with a roar.

"Let it begin," he said.

Xu Zhi left the singularity and slowly raised his arm within the Genesis vortex. The nine universes that he had encircled next to the singularity, helping to resist with brute force, slowly converged. Countless universes violently collapsed. Xu Zhi's lower abdomen seemed to contract violently, and an invisible, multicolored vortex slowly materialized.

With a thunderous boom, it was a scene reminiscent of the creation of heaven and earth, with endless Dao sounds resounding.

Chiming sounds.

Tu Xin's face turned pale, his eyes bright red, as he continuously retreated, watching Emperor Zun from a distance.

Chiming sounds resonated.

Innumerable rules blossomed and shattered.

"You think it's the true sound of the Great Dao, but in reality, it's the sound of my heartbeat."

Emperor Zun slowly opened his eyes.

"What is this??"

At that moment, they finally understood the true reason for Tu Xin's stiff expression. Everyone witnessed an unforgettable scene, an unbelievably magnificent miracle: An incredibly tiny singularity was embedded in his heart, continuously half-collapsing and half-exploding, like a heart swelling and contracting, emitting the chiming overture of the universe.

Each note of the true sound of the Great Dao was merely the rise and fall of a single heartbeat.
