Wouldn't the gap between those who have just reached the other shore and the ancients be even greater?

Moro's avatar seemed to have discerned Meng Qi's thoughts and spoke calmly:

"The difference between the normal Other Shore and the Ancient Ones is not large, at least not at the end of the world."

"If we compare all the heavens and myriad worlds to a bubble, the bubble's ability to withstand pressure is reduced due to the end times. This makes no difference to beings in the sea of ​​suffering, but it is obvious to those who have transcended the sea of ​​suffering."

"The bubble is the main arena for the competition for the Dao Fruit; everything will take place here."

At this point, Moro's avatar frowned slightly and changed his description, saying, "If the bubble of the myriad worlds has a capacity of ten thousand, then no matter how strong the Other Shore is, in order to compete for the opportunity of the Dao Fruit, the power it exerts cannot exceed ten thousand. This applies to ordinary Other Shores, ancient beings, and the oldest beings."

"Therefore, the expressive power of the other shore has changed from spatial extension to temporal extension, thereby judging the strength between the other shores, because in the vast world, the destruction of ordinary other shores and the oldest ones is no different; they can be destroyed with a wave of the hand."

"Even so, the ancients can fight against multiple ordinary beings from the other side, even if the strength of both sides is equal."

The path of the incarnation of Moro.

Perhaps going to an alternate world with an infinite number of realms and multiverses would provide the most direct insight into the difference in strength between the ancient beings and ordinary beings from beyond the heavens…

After all, it only matters who can destroy the most worlds and multiverses with a single blow. But that won't work in the world of the Supreme Being. The worldview limits it so that only when the original worlds collapse can the Primordial Celestial Venerable create new worlds and start a new era.

Seeing Meng Qi's thoughtful expression, Moro's avatar sighed, "You'll understand when you reach the other shore..."

"I've said so much because this is the only way that beings in the sea of ​​suffering can perceive things; the false other shore is not the true other shore."

"The other shore, the other shore, the true core lies in the 'other shore' that transcends the sea of ​​suffering, which is the highest and lowest level of the worldview. All the myriad realms and the vast sea of ​​suffering, all the great power and manifestations, can only be considered as byproducts."

In the end, Moro, in his incarnation, asked a question in return.

"You've played games, haven't you?"

Hearing Moro's incarnation ask this question, Meng Qi nodded.

Although his studies were heavy during his university years, he played a lot of games like CrossFire and Glory of the Archer. In the current World Forum, there are many virtual reality games that he could only imagine before he transmigrated. In fact, if it weren't for the heavy pressure from the Demon Buddha and the Eternal Mother, he might have created a diverse virtual reality game based on the real world of his generation.

"The creatures of the Bitter Sea are game characters within the game, whether they are mortals, immortals, gods, or powerful beings."

"The only difference between ordinary people and those with great supernatural powers is that ordinary beings can be replicated countless times. Each time a parallel universe is born, it is equivalent to replicating the myriad beings of the original universe."

"After proving their legend, they become game characters and items with the attribute of 'uniqueness,' but in essence, they are still characters in the game."

The incarnation of Moro spoke of part of the essence of the other world in a way that normal people could understand.

He continued, "And the other side, in essence, is no longer a game character."

Upon hearing this, Meng Qi frowned, his head feeling heavy, as if what the incarnation of Moro said possessed a magical power. Even though he was currently a pseudo-other shore, he still felt somewhat uncomfortable after hearing it.

After circulating his profound inner energy to suppress the inexplicable distracting thoughts rising in his mind, Meng Qi asked, "Is the Other Shore the game's administrator?"

When it comes to games, he can't help but think of the role or privileges of a GM.

If we apply the concept of games, the Other Shore and the Game Administrator are very similar; both are terrifying to the point of being irresistible, but they are simply not on the same level.

Moro's avatar gently shook his head and explained, "If we consider the Perfect Creation stage as level 100, that's the maximum level in the game. However, the game administrator can adjust the level cap at any time. The next moment, the maximum level might be 10,000, or even 100,000..."

"It's practically endless, and today's max-level character could be reduced to level one or have all their data deleted in the blink of an eye by the game administrator."

After a brief pause, Moro's avatar continued, "The world... or rather, the game map, is like this. If we consider all the heavens and myriad worlds as a large map, the game administrator can copy or create countless large maps anytime, anywhere, or piece together countless large maps of the scale of all the heavens and myriad worlds to form an even larger map."

"The other side doesn't have that ability."

Although the beings on the other side are nearly omniscient and omnipotent in the eyes of the creatures in the Sea of ​​Suffering, they are only nearly so, and are worlds apart from the game administrators that Meng Qi knows.

Seeing Meng Qi's thoughtful expression, Moro's avatar laughed and said, "If the other shore is really that terrible, why would there be any external tribulations for great supernatural beings?"

Seeing him smile, Meng Qi didn't understand the meaning behind Moro's words for a moment, and asked in confusion, "Is the terror of the other shore directly related to the external tribulations when they transform into great supernatural beings and break free from the sea of ​​suffering? After all, as long as great supernatural beings break free from the sea of ​​suffering, they can reach the other shore."

Seeing that Meng Qi's thoughts seemed to have wandered into another alley and were not on the same wavelength as him, Moro's incarnation shook his head and said, "What I mean is, if the relationship between the other shore and the sea of ​​suffering is really as you think, like the relationship between a game administrator and the game, then the person on the other shore can simply adjust the game data, and then no one will ever reach the standard to escape the sea of ​​suffering."

Meng Qi had a flash of inspiration and suddenly realized, "That's right. As long as the standard for 'escaping the sea of ​​suffering' is set to be one, one hundred, or one thousand times the 'highest level in the game,' we can eradicate the suffering from the sea of ​​suffering at its root. Even if this 'game' has no 'max level' limit and can increase the level indefinitely, then the characters in the game who are 'suffering beings' will never have a day when they can escape the sea of ​​suffering."

No matter how strong you are, if you can escape this sea of ​​suffering, I'll admit defeat.

For some reason, this thought flashed through Meng Qi's mind.

"Yes, so the other side isn't as terrifying as you imagine."

"If someone could actually set it up like that, it would be incredibly desperate."

The path of the incarnation of Moro.

This isn't a question of strength or weakness, but rather a level that can only be admired from afar and never reached.

"Indeed, if that's the case, it's truly hopeless."

Meng Qi nodded in empathy. He had actually had a similar feeling when he was a reincarnator. No matter how powerful you were, the overall difficulty of the tasks you faced was always a little higher than yours, putting you on the verge of death.

As Meng Qi agreed, the incarnation of Moro continued, "You can think of the other side as a player outside the 'game' to some extent."

"When they entered the 'game' of the myriad worlds, they were limited by the game's level cap, or rather, the limits that the game could withstand, so the power they could exert was all at the same level."

"The ancients, facing multiple ordinary beings from the other side, can be seen as elite players versus ordinary players. But they can only play this one 'game,' and even if they can play it in a fancy way, it is still within this game. If one day the 'game' completely collapses and can no longer be saved, these players can also be considered dead."

After explaining the situation of the various beings from the other side in this way within the myriad realms, the incarnation of Moro spoke up, "Do you understand now?"

Meng Qi nodded, thinking to himself, "According to Brother Shang's description, the true place where those who have fallen from the other side throughout history have truly perished is not the myriad worlds, but rather the life outside the 'game' that has been ended. It is the true spirits that have risen from infinite heights to the top of the world's structure that have been annihilated."

"All previous eras were merely changes in game versions. Although each version change involved a data wipe (the destruction of all worlds), if a character from the previous version was strong enough, they could potentially appear in the new version. This apocalypse, however, is a complete collapse of the game."

After thinking about this, he became puzzled and asked, "Could the Dao Venerable who has attained the Dao Fruit be...?"

Before Meng Qi could finish speaking, the incarnation of Moro seemed to have guessed what he wanted to say. He shook his head and said, "Thinking about it leads to bias, guessing it leads to error, and speaking it leads to fallacy..."

"Even the essence of those who have reached the other shore is expressed in a way that I have tried my best to make understandable to beings in the sea of ​​suffering, but there are still some deviations, not to mention the Dao fruits beyond the other shore."

“Unless you personally attain the fruit of enlightenment, it is unlikely that you will learn its true nature from outsiders.” After considering his words for a moment, the incarnation of Moro finally spoke:

"The only certainty is that after attaining the Dao Fruit, one can continue to appear in all the heavens and myriad worlds. Although the Dao Fruit is for those who have transcended, it does not mean that one cannot return to the place before transcendence after transcendence."

Upon hearing this, Meng Qi was greatly shocked, and a look of astonishment involuntarily appeared on his face.

Judging from Brother Shang's tone, he seemed to have met a true Dao Fruit practitioner!
Otherwise, given Brother Shang's character, he wouldn't have brought this up so solemnly at this time.

Of the two Dao Fruit holders in this world, Dao Venerable and Buddha, which one did Brother Shang actually meet?
Meng Qi felt a surge of doubt and cast an inquiring glance at the incarnation of Moro, seemingly unable to hide his curiosity. However, he also knew that this matter involved a great deal of information and it was not appropriate to ask rashly.

This time, the incarnation of Moro, who always answered his questions, did not provide any answers. He merely smiled, but in Meng Qi's eyes, it was unfathomable.

"No wonder Brother Shang knew that the Heavenly Emperor would also perish at the end of the era, yet he still had the confidence to ascend the supreme throne."

Meng Qi wondered to himself.

He suspected that Shang Yi had obtained some remnants of the Dao Fruit, or perhaps some secret method to escape the fate of the Heavenly Emperor's fall at the end of the era, much like the former Jade Emperor who deceived the heavens and the sea, now appearing as a demon Buddha.

As for the Transcendent One personally instructing Shang Yi on how to proceed, Meng Qi considered that impossible.

He suspected that if it weren't for the fact that the Dao Venerable's method of attaining the Dao Fruit required the power of a complete cycle of an era, most of the Other Shores would probably no longer care about worldly affairs. In some ancient texts, this was the case in several eras before the Primordial Era. At that time, even the Dao Venerable had not yet been born. After the other shores tried to achieve their goal without success, they no longer showed their traces in the myriad worlds. Only when they achieved perfect creation and broke free from the sea of ​​suffering would they attract the attention or be stopped by the other shores.

Even the other shore is like this, let alone the Dao Fruit that is even higher on the other shore.

"It can't be that Brother Shang has extraordinary talent, which is why he attracted the attention of the Daoist Master or the Buddha."

Meng Qi muttered to himself.

He thought of the various versions of the legendary Shanglou Louzhu that had circulated on the Wanjie Forum over the years: extraordinary bone structure, martial arts prodigy, cultivation prodigy, handsome and elegant, eight zhang tall, incomparably handsome, fair-skinned with starry eyes, broad shoulders and a thick waist, polite, humble and kind, and decisive in killing...

Having figured out the secrets of the Other Shore, Meng Qi could roughly deduce the strength of the various Other Shores.

Master Daode and Amitabha are undoubtedly the most powerful beings beyond the other shore. They should be the kind of beings who would immediately become the 'strongest beyond the other shore' without each other, just like Yuanshi Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun.

The Demon Emperor, Bodhi Ancient Buddha, and Demon Buddha are slightly inferior, stronger than the other beings of the Other Shore, but weaker than the Three Pure Ones and Amitabha Buddha.

Among the ancient texts that Meng Qi had seen, there were records of these other shores in the earliest era, so he could conclude that the above-mentioned other shores all belonged to the ancients.

As for Brother Shang, he knew from some historical records that Brother Shang had appeared several eras ago, which clearly meant he belonged to the ancient ones. Further down the line, it would probably be the Eternal Mother. As for the last one, leaving aside the fallen Other Shore One, it should be the Azure Emperor.

The normal Other Shore is like this, but the abnormal Other Shore should be the Heavenly Dao monster controlled by the Azure Emperor. The fact that it can be controlled by the Azure Emperor means that the Heavenly Dao monster is weaker than the Azure Emperor, and it even had the ability to influence the Heavenly Dao monster before the Azure Emperor ascended to the Other Shore.

"After the Azure Emperor and the Heavenly Dao monster join forces, they should be able to stop the Eternal Mother."

After clarifying the situation, Meng Qi felt even more confident.

He looked at the smiling incarnation of Moro, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "On that day, I'll have to trouble Brother Shang."

The incarnation of Moro nodded and agreed.

As for the agreement with the Eternal Mother, we'll see how things go in the future.

……

While Mengqi was discussing with the incarnation of Moro.

Vacuum Hometown.

A majestic and mature woman sat on her throne. Her figure was graceful, and her clothes were covered with countless Dao patterns. Behind her head was a bright moon that contained all the beauty in the world, the most essential secrets of all the heavens and myriad realms, and a illusory fruit that appeared and disappeared in a transparent way.

The Unborn Mother.

Even when he was in his own dojo, he was not careless in the slightest, disguising his nascent Dao fruit as the illusory Dao fruit of the ordinary other shore.

"In learning, one gains daily; in practicing the Way, one loses daily. One loses and loses again until one reaches non-action."

The Eternal Mother murmured softly to herself.

The Heavenly Emperor's hesitant manner at the time aroused many speculations in His heart.

Finally, He remembered a sentence spoken by the oldest Heavenly Venerable when He was listening to the teachings of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable at the beginning of the mythological era in the Jade Void Palace.

Those who are on the other shore do not speak without purpose. The Eternal Mother always thought that this sentence was spoken by the Primordial Heavenly Venerable to other powerful and supernatural beings who went to listen to the lecture, but now that she thinks about it, it seems that this is not the case.

and……

The reason why Yuanshi Tianzun used a passage from the Daode Tianzun scriptures is also worth pondering.

The powerful and supernatural beings of the past discussed this statement and had different opinions. Today, the Eternal Mother has a completely new perspective.

"Did He possess the future, which was close to the end of the world and near to 'reality,' in the mythological era, before the great war of the gods?"

The Eternal Mother's expression seemed to fluctuate, as if she had come to a new understanding of the terror of the oldest being.

The pursuit of knowledge can be likened to a cultivator before the process of subtraction and emptiness, who is constantly in a state of 'increase', making himself stronger, whether it is an increase in physical strength or an increase in intelligence.

The daily loss of the Way can be seen as the other shore, in order to attain the fruit of the Way, begins to separate its own cause and effect, finds a living being to take over these cause and effect, and at the same time receives corresponding benefits. In the end, that living being takes over all cause and effect, so that the other shore, which has separated its own cause and effect, has no cause and effect with the myriad worlds.

"Reduce and reduce again, until you reach a state of non-action..."

As she murmured, her beautiful eyes narrowed, revealing a rare emotion.

If it's really as I guessed, then the original plan to weaken the Three Pure Ones with the Six Soul Banner might have gone wrong from the very beginning.

This might cause the Three Pure Ones or the Supreme Lord of Morality, the foundation of existence, to be 'damaged' to the extreme, directly reaching the point of seeking emptiness through reduction.

The bright moonlight shone faintly, and the boundless chaos surged, obscuring all future possibilities. At the same time, it disguised the Vacuum Homeland, ensuring that everything happening within it could not be seen by those on the other side. Even if someone were secretly watching, they could only see the scene disguised by the Eternal Mother using the boundless chaos.

Boom!

A terrifying, pitch-black banner rose from behind the Eternal Mother the instant her Vacuum Homeland was enveloped by the boundless chaos. Its destructive power was terrifying beyond measure, and it continued to grow stronger with the passage of time. (End of Chapter)
