Waves surged, and the sky appeared to overturn.The wind swept away scattered clouds.It was an unimaginable, mythical spectacle.Everyone knew that this immense, sculpted land was distorting the surrounding space-time!Its immense stored energy, coupled with its nature as the ultimate distorting rule weapon of the bloodline universe, had almost completely warped the surrounding space-time continuum.
Rumble!
Even the Sea of Chaos had contorted into writhing, twisted strands, and its waves transformed into dark silver tentacles, frozen in an instant.This mythical scene symbolized the pinnacle era of the universe's bloodlines!One hundred forty billion years of civilized wisdom, compressed and crystallized here!They also saw ancient cosmic murals etched onto this universe sculpture, chronicling the heroic sagas of countless eras.
“I had thought ancient history vanished into dust, a regrettable loss, but I never imagined it would be completely preserved here,” a young saint murmured.
This was a monumental stone tablet, a chronicle of the cosmos.It bore engravings of ancient cosmic myths from every era.The old man smiled, crouched down, and gently caressed the murals on the ground. “The universe may forget the heroes who fought for humanity’s history, but we will not…” he said.
“All saints of the cosmos, regardless of their path to enlightenment—be it for good or ill, or even if they wrought immense destruction in their era—their contributions will be seen by future generations as far outweighing their transgressions… In my view, anyone who completes the cosmic rules and perfects our living environment is a true saint.”
“To achieve enlightenment for the cosmos, to complete its rules and merge with the Great Dao, all such beings are… saints.”
He rose to his feet again.
“Time, space, life…”
“Here, they cease to exist. You could spend ten billion years within, and it would pass as an instant outside, and vice versa.”
“The very concept of a time scale is absent here.”
“This implies that no matter how long our battle here extends, outside this continent, within the nine major multiverses, it will seem like merely an instant has passed, and a new era will commence in just one second.”
The old man sat on the throne, gently planting his staff into the ground, his features etched with the marks of time. “Friends,” he said, “if you are eager to know the outcome, you need only leave this continent for a second and then return. The conclusion will be known.”
All the saints fell silent, their gazes intently fixed on him.
The greatest manipulator in the history of cosmic bloodlines, the Master of the Palace of Longevity, the strongest saint of cosmic bloodlines… his numerous titles were enough to make anyone's heart tremble.
The old man softly added, “The stage of my Palace of Longevity was not created for anyone specific. I had believed this moment of conflict would never arrive, yet I could not escape this destiny.”
Di Zun's expression remained calm as he regarded the old man.The Master of the Longevity Realm?He was once the strongest man in the Battle of the Longevity Realm, the ultimate victor who had defeated the Mother Empress and another race, finally reaching the apex.Xu Zhi had already abandoned his deep-seated animosity and buried the hatchet with him, yet he never expected the other party to proactively seek him out…
“This feels like destiny; this battle was inevitable,” Di Zun said, looking at the old man before him. “Throughout history, only one person has ever stood at the very peak.”
The old man, Renjiu, smiled, looking at Di Zun’s body and clearly sensing the singularity within it. “Tu Xin and I are on the same plane; we can achieve enlightenment and reach the eleventh rank when the cosmos is complete… either of us has a chance to win. But you are different; you are far beyond our starting point.”
“Yes, far beyond us,” Tu Xin slowly stepped forward. “You have transcended the limits of the era, wielding this power even without access to the full strength of the eleventh rank.”Without eliminating Di Zun, neither of them would stand a chance.
“You speak too much.”
Di Zun shook his head. “At the end of the cosmos, the great currents of karma must be resolved today,” he said. “When the cosmos is whole, a Calamity Demon will descend upon the Great Dao, known as the Primal Tribulation—and that tribulation is me.”
“Unleash your abilities then.”
Di Zun stared at the old man, poised and ready.
“The ancient cosmic entity truly speaks little,” the old man said with a smile that gradually faded. “Your words imply there’s no room for discussion left… Very well, let us begin.”
With a whoosh—
With a sweep of his hand, the cosmic membrane of the entire Ten-Origin Universe beneath them opened, revealing its inner landscape.Nine sculpted planets came into view.Each planet was densely covered with ancient statues, lifelike and varied in posture—some joyful, some laughing, some seemingly weeping—as though they were real people.
“These are the sacred tombs of the Nine Universes,” the old man, Renjiu, softly said. “These nine tomb planets correspond to the Nine Universes! Each of these statues was erected by us at the time of their enlightenment, displayed here in chronological order.”
As his words fell, all eyes swiftly turned to the nine planets.The order!It actually recorded the sequence of enlightenment!How could they not realize?This held the greatest secret in cosmic history: the Eleventh-Rank Enlightenment Code!The complete perfection of the universe’s rules required following the chronological order of the saints’ enlightenment, tracing back each cosmic rule to its origin, and ultimately becoming an Eleventh-Rank entity!And before them, each statue on these planets was a note in the symphony of the Great Dao!Linked together, they formed the Great Dao Code of the universe, the very gate to Eleventh-Rank enlightenment!
“The Palace Master… he has completely abandoned us.”
Rongcheng’s expression turned utterly grim.They had fought for this code with their lives, daily securing their own Great Dao code and corresponding position.Now, with its public disclosure, their advantage had completely vanished!How could they not be furious?This was originally their trump card for reaching the Eleventh Rank. Compared to other entities, even Tu Xin, who was unaware of the Great Dao Code within, this was their greatest advantage!But now, they were entirely on the same starting line as the saints of the new era.
“Is this the Great Dao's blueprint?”
Tu Xin chuckled, then said coldly, “Your Excellency, for the sake of the alliance, you have presented me with a truly grand gift.”
The old man, Renjiu, smiled again. “Most of these statues are lifeless, but some are living,” he said.“They were all the most powerful heroes of their respective cosmic eras… yet they could not withstand the Five Decays of Heaven and Man. I severed their bloodlines, turning them into bloodline-less beings, and sealed them here.”
With a rustle.
As the old man spoke, some of the statues interspersed among the lifeless ones began to stir, shaking off thick layers of dust, slowly swaying, and opening their eyes.
The old man softly said, “The cosmic membrane bears murals, and within the universe lie their remains and tombs, yet some among them still live.”“This represents an accumulation of over 14 billion years.”“This is a cosmic divine tomb spanning over 14 billion years.”“Gods died, demons perished… but they were sealed here. In my name as the Master of Longevity, I call upon the ancient heroes.”
“All the peak saints who were once the strongest in their cosmic eras have now awakened… They were originally meant to counter variables, thinking it would be Tu Xin, but they never expected it to be the corrupt manipulator from the ancient cosmos.”
Countless statues swayed, cracked open, revealing parched skin as they regained their vitality.One after another, indescribable, unnameable prehistoric cosmic entities opened their eyes.With over 14 billion years of accumulation, it was almost inconceivable how many unimaginable heroes had emerged throughout the grand sweep of history…They were arguably the strongest in history.Some ancient beings had even challenged the Longevity Realm, almost toppling its rule!
With a clatter.
One by one, the ancient entities opened their eyes.
“You… my former sworn enemy, you too have a day when you call upon us. Speak, what do you want us to do?” a young woman slowly said, being the first to open her eyes, her voice cold. “For 14 billion years, you have countless times destroyed the descendants of our race… Palace Master of Longevity.”
The old man smiled, looking up at Di Zun. “I cannot defeat him alone,” he softly said. “I need all the heroes from the entire history of the universe to unite as one force.”
