Chapter 1817: Chapter 1817
The one who arrived was none other than Lv Zhong, who had been hidden for over three thousand years.
During this period, the battle between the positive and negative forces had become increasingly fierce.
But Lv Zhong had vanished without a trace!
No, not completely vanished.
Lv Zhong was secretly hiding within the Great Annihilation Pearl, cultivating while secretly observing everything about the battle between the positive and negative forces.
It was just as he had guessed!
The possibility that this battle was a product of the balance under the manipulation of the Great Path was extremely high.
Otherwise, countless Venerable Sages wouldn’t have gone red-eyed with violence.
Lv Zhong even discovered that four or five False Gods had already fallen.
The collapse and explosion of powerful bodies caused terrifying energy shockwaves in the Chaos New Area, dragging many Sages and Venerable Sages down with them.
And these fallen False Gods, Venerable Sages, and Sages completely transformed into the purest energy, merging into the Chaos New Area!
In fact, Lv Zhong could say without hesitation that the rapid expansion and growth of the Chaos New Area during this period owed a significant contribution to the fall of these Quasi-Sages, Sages, Venerable Sages, and False Gods.
Without the fall of so many powerful beings, the spiritual energy of the Chaos New Area would not have become increasingly rich.
The word suddenly appeared in Lv Zhong’s mind!
And the more Lv Zhong thought about it, the more likely it seemed!
Just like when Pangu Great God split the chaos and slaughtered the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods to release the Three Thousand Great Path Rules.
Now, under the manipulation of the Great Path, the fall of countless peak Quasi-Sages, Sages, Venerable Sages, and even False Gods might just be the fertilizer providing energy to those Heaven and Earth Placentas in the Chaos New Area.
Perhaps, with the fall of countless powerful beings in this era, the rise of the Son of the Great Path in the next era is inevitable!
Then, more universe creators similar to Pangu may appear.
"Is this the destruction and rebirth of the universe?"
Lv Zhong murmured slightly, his power of divine soul traversing the entire Chaos New Area. Suddenly, he mourned for all the strong ones hidden in the battle.
No matter how powerful they were before, if they haven’t transcended the Great Path or ascended to the God Realm, they are destined to be manipulated by the Great Path.
The origin, development, growth, explosion, and destruction of the universe... is an inevitable process.
With the creation of the universe, there will inevitably be its destruction.
Likewise, all living beings in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms of the Immortal World are likely to be swept into this game of destruction if they haven’t ascended to the God Realm or transcended the Great Path!
And ascending to the God Realm is about finding that elusive "one," the only chance for survival!
"Understood!" Lv Zhong exhaled a long breath of turbid air. He truly understood the true intention of the Great Path!
Moreover, if not stopped, the degree of evolution of the evil malevolent qi spontaneously formed on the positive and negative battlefield will increase. By then, its influence won’t just be limited to Venerable Sages and False Gods. It could even affect divine beings like Master Hongjun, Lotus Master, Sword Ancestor, and Mixed Silkworm Ancestor, who have forged a divine body but haven’t ascended, falling prey to the manipulations and influences of the Great Path.
Even Lv Zhong and Chen Ru could find themselves in peril if they haven’t forcibly ascended to the God Realm.
This is the ultimate killing move of the Great Path!
When all who had reached the Sage, Venerable Sage, False God, and God-Human levels had fallen in the battle, no remaining strong presence could threaten the frenzied growth of those Heaven and Earth Placentas within the Chaos New Area.
The Great Path is clearing the way for the growth of these newborn Heaven and Earth Placentas!
When all threats have fallen, and when these Heaven and Earth Placentas have become creators of a new universe, another epic drama similar to Pangu Great God’s hunt of the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods might unfold once more...
By then, those capable of challenging the creators of a new universe will be far too weakened...
"What a scheme! Heaven triggers killing intent, star shifting technique; Earth triggers killing intent, dragon and snake rise up; Humanity triggers killing intent, heaven and earth overturned; Heavenly Dao’s catastrophe, all heavens in chaos; Great Path’s catastrophe, universe destroyed, chaos reborn—"
Lv Zhong’s eyes sharpened, a flash of inscrutable light sparked in his eyes, and his Sea of Consciousness began to expand exponentially again.
This is the kind of epiphany that often occurs on the path of cultivation!
However, once one’s strength surpasses the Sage Realm, achieving an epiphany becomes extremely difficult.
Let alone Lv Zhong now, who had long surpassed the Third-Order Peak God-Human Realm.
"I understand: what the so-called Great Path truly represents over the vast expanse of time is destruction and rebirth! It’s the cycle of life—new—old—regeneration! It’s heaven—earth—creation—metamorphosis."
Suddenly, Lv Zhong shouted excitedly.
Immediately, the momentum around him surged rapidly, and his cultivation realm finally advanced from the Third-Order Peak to the Fourth-Order Lower Realm, reaching the same level as Chen Ru.
At the same time, his power of divine soul also escalated in this insight into the Great Path, instantly advancing from the Fifth-Order Intermediate Realm to the Fifth-Order Peak Divine Monarch Realm.
And at this realm, he still hasn’t ascended to the Sacred God Realm?
Should the super strong in the Sacred God Realm know, they might collectively lose their composure in silence.
Not to mention the lower world, even in the Sacred God Realm, it’s exceedingly rare to advance as quickly as Lv Zhong has through cultivation.
Even if there is such a person, it’s only because their starting point was too high, having been cultivating in the Sacred God Realm from a young age and from the very beginning practicing cultivation divine techniques.
For someone like Lv Zhong or Chen Ru, who advanced trek by trek from the Mortal Realm to the Cultivation World to the Immortal World and became warriors comparable to Fourth-Order Divine Humans in the Immortal World, it’s nearly unheard of.
At this moment, Lv Zhong’s comprehension of the Great Path had reached a new height!
Destruction and rebirth!
Clearly the simplest of truths, yet few delve deeply, nor consider its connection to the Great Path.
In reality, strip away the framework of space! Compact the time taken for the original point of the universe to form, develop, flourish, decay, collapse, explode, and be reborn, and you’d find that the destruction and formation of the universe is a cycle.
Where there is the formation of a universe, there must be its collapse and destruction.
Where there is destruction, there is also rebirth!
Understanding these, various great Tao divine patterns within Lv Zhong’s body, such as those of destruction, creation, time, and space, also trembled continuously and solidified.
In a short period, many divine patterns advanced rapidly...
At one point, the Space Divine Pattern surpassed the Fire God Pattern, reaching the Upper Intermediate Realm.
Even more terrifying was that the Time God Pattern went through a metamorphic progression. At this moment, it had evolved into a Mid-quality Peak Divine Pattern.
The Destruction Path, the Path of Creation, the Path of Integration, and various divine patterns all received some degree of enhancement in this enlightenment session.
Just one insight not only made Lv Zhong a true warrior at the Fourth-Order Divine Human Realm but also granted him a wealth of benefits.
Though it seemed like a minor upgrade from the Third-Order Peak to Fourth-Order, Lv Zhong’s combat prowess improved exponentially!
Moreover, the Third-Order Peak God-Human Realm and Fourth-Order God-Human Realm form a crucial turning point in cultivation!
In the Sacred God Realm, God-humans below the Third-Order Peak are nearly the low-level beings of the Sacred God Realm. However, Fourth-Order Divine Humans already possess a certain amount of status and authority in the divine realm, ranking among the mid-high tiers of the Sacred God Realm. (To be continued.
