Chapter 741: Continuing the Immortal Path, Slaying the Reincarnation Mansion Lord

When these words were uttered, everyone felt their hearts leap, as if their souls were taking flight on wings, soaring against a fierce gale towards the white, cloudy heavens.

Nether Mountain Prefect was the most stunned, for these words signaled the imminent end of the chaotic ancient era, a period defined by dark monopolies. Was the long struggle of ancient beings, steeped in blood through countless ages, finally drawing to a close?

Would the path to immortality be re-established, ushering in a new, unprecedented golden age where everyone could cultivate divine powers, become like dragons, and attain eternal life?

Meanwhile, the netizens, being self-proclaimed online sages, knew more than Nether Mountain Prefect. They were instantly overwhelmed, and the live stream chat exploded with a flurry of comments.

"Is Reincarnation Prefect finally going to break through?"

"The other designated successor of the ultra-ancient gods, who even received a peerless treasure like the Ninth-Tier remains – a privilege Caroline didn't have – is he finally going to catch up?"

Although, in everyone's eyes, the Six Paths of Reincarnation from the Ninth-Tier remains and the Miniature Universe world were considered equally valuable treasures, given to two individuals to compete for the inheritance of the fallen ancient Ninth-Tier.

"I knew it! The Reincarnation Prefect couldn't stay like that forever. After consuming so many resources, he was bound to take off instantly and join the top tier!"

"Ahhh! A massive shift in eras!"

"With the Ninth-Tier node, every world is exerting immense effort. What will the future hold? We don't know anymore!"

"At first, we thought only the other side's situation was exploding, but now this side is undergoing dramatic changes too!"

"This is a terrifying era, with rapid, unpredictable changes. To survive, we must exert ourselves to the fullest! Knowledge is power (with an implied image of a 'headband of effort')."

The live stream chat was flooded with countless comments, virtually obscuring the entire screen.

"This level of ancient taboo is terrifying. Perhaps only Nether Mountain Prefect can truly comprehend it; it's beyond our ability to fathom!" Pan Yuxian, though astonished, kept her distance, observing everything from afar near the thatched hut.

"In... this very era?"

Nether Mountain Prefect showed no trace of joy. His voice gradually grew louder, like an endless peal of thunder, echoing throughout the entire Beast Dao.

Even the ancient giants of the Deva Dao and Mortal Dao heard his voice as if by some unseen force, their expressions turning to horror.

"It's Nether Mountain Prefect again; has he intercepted the Emperor Sovereign once more?"

"What is he doing?"

"How can he be so audacious? Is he not afraid of death?"

"Even if he dies, he'll be held accountable and suffer in hell!"

"Is he plotting against us again, just like he deceived all the mighty cultivators of the Deva Dao back then, luring us into a trap to ambush the Emperor Sovereign?"

The entire Six Paths of Reincarnation erupted into an uproar.

The expressions of all the Great Sages shifted dramatically.

Nether Mountain Prefect, an ancient forbidden entity from the dark restricted zone, was a failure of a bygone era.

Yet he remained terrifying beyond imagination. They still remembered how, with miraculous, textbook-level cunning, he had orchestrated a horrifying siege to eliminate the Emperor Sovereign.

And now, today?

What was he plotting this time?

Instantly, the divine senses of all top powerhouses collided, yet none dared to make a move.

Xu Zhi also perceived everything.

Yet he remained calm, curious to see what new scheme Nether Mountain Prefect was concocting this time. "In this very era," he declared, "everything from distant history will conclude. Whether you overthrow me, or I bring an end to you... regardless of who triumphs or fails, everything is destined to change in the next era."

At this moment, the divine consciousness of countless beings flickered.

These words were not merely addressed to Nether Mountain Prefect but to all beings of their entire era.

Nether Mountain Prefect's expression subtly shifted again, and he murmured, "Does that mean our era is the last, and we won't live to see the era where the immortal path is reconnected? Only a new era after ours?"

Xu Zhi neither confirmed nor denied it.

It was only natural.

It was the enormous energy from the cosmic octopus, this immense stroke of luck, that gave Xu Zhi the confidence to quickly break through to divinity.

However, Xu Zhi couldn't directly absorb the massive energy from outside. Slowly using it for conventional cultivation would be painstakingly slow. The fastest method was to rely on the beings within his inner world to help absorb and cultivate it, transforming it into their own energy. Only when these beings died naturally or through other means, returning their energy as Zerg feedback, could Xu Zhi achieve a breakthrough to divinity.

In that case, it was easy to understand.

As the people of their current era gradually aged and died, their energy would slowly return, paving the way for the next new era where the immortal path would once again be accessible.

Alternatively, if they chose to overthrow him, absorb the energy to enhance their cultivation, and trigger a devastating war, a large number would fall, their souls returning to the Six Paths of Reincarnation for rebirth, which would still enable him to achieve rapid breakthroughs.

"So that's it? I've received the answer I sought."

Nether Mountain Prefect took a deep breath. "The immortal path is within reach, but not for our era. Regardless of victory or defeat in our time, it will all ultimately conclude in the next era... What lies before us is our final destiny. Win or lose, there will be no regrets."

*Whoosh.*

He raised his head as columns of white light descended, piercing through everything, and countless figures began to appear.

These were the divine consciousnesses of powerful cultivators.

At this moment, their hearts were churning with turbulent emotions, regretting that they had been born in the wrong era.

Xu Zhi simply watched him.

He was very interested in what Nether Mountain Prefect was truly planning.

Nether Mountain Prefect merely smiled, a profound mix of emotion and relief in his expression. "Well, the question of the immortal path has been answered. There's no room for maneuver; we must proceed with the original plan... This is merely the final era to make a last stand. Regardless of victory or defeat, it will all be over."

"It's much better than I anticipated," he said with a soft, gentle laugh.

"What was this 'previous plan'?" Shangguan Man couldn't help but ask, highly wary, given his past actions.

"The goal? Of course, it's..."

"The same as always."

"I am a persistent individual."

He whispered, slowly tilting his head back to gaze at the sky. His eyes, filled with a complex expression, settled on the clear, vast expanse—another beautiful day.

"It is, of course, to create an unbelievable miracle. Today is the day the world re-establishes the immortal path, and the day a Sovereign who commands the Six Paths of Reincarnation shall fall."

He enunciated each word slowly, then dropped his feather fan, his imposing presence captivating.

*Whoosh.*

His coiled hair slowly unraveled and cascaded down as endless divine light enveloped him, transforming him into an ancient mythical immortal, radiating ten thousand feet of brilliance.

The entire Six Paths of Reincarnation trembled violently, as if heaven and earth were being turned upside down.

Countless Heavenly Emperors and Great Sages from various hidden worlds were horrified. Their eyes trembled, revealing expressions of disbelief. Even the most composed among them were terrified by his sacrilegious declaration of "slaying the Reincarnation Prefect," causing their hearts to pound!

Pan Yuxian's gaze remained calm as she watched from a distance.

Meanwhile, the entire live stream chat exploded!

"Oh, oh, oh!"

"What the f**k?"

"Again?"

"I feel like it's impossible! This is too arrogant! It's a miracle with less than a one in a hundred million chance, but if it's the 'Miracle Maestro,' the 'Probability Expert,' the 'Grand Orator,' then maybe it's not so impossible!"

"I remember when he first said something like this, I didn't believe him. But then, I was completely stunned..."

"Is this going to happen in our online game world this time?"

"An online game world war?"

"The 'Big Brother Leader' has appeared again? Is he secretly scheming against everyone again?"

"Ah, forget it! Grab your gear, guild up, brothers, let's charge! Get ready! If Nether Mountain Prefect actually pulls off something big and it looks like it might succeed, we'll follow behind to pick up the scraps! This time, let's ditch Emperor Qi and go for the Reincarnation Prefect—his 'butt' must be big and fat!"

"Everyone, don't be cowards! Immediately mobilize eight hundred axemen for an ambush a hundred miles out! Get the nuclear weapons ready, and prepare three thousand Gatling Purification Zen Staffs, ready to spin three thousand six hundred times per minute to save all sentient beings! Watch for my signal! (Wink.jpg)"

"Exactly! Don't be cowards! This is clearly an 80-level main quest threshold dungeon. Break through it, and you get an 80-level job change!"

"We can give it a shot!"

"Try it, and you'll die! Everyone will die!"

Observing the real-time battle reports in the live stream, the group immediately convened to discuss a strategy for fighting the boss, their blood boiling with excitement.
