The most crucial element of the plan has been compromised.

How much hope does He have left to attain enlightenment?
Normal living beings would probably have given up hope long ago. All their efforts over the years have been in vain, and the huge gap can drive people crazy.

But the Eternal Mother is different; she is the other shore, devoid of emotion and absolutely rational.

Even if there is no hope, the Eternal Mother will still create.

"Decades..."

"A few years is enough."

The Eternal Mother wondered to herself what kind of plan she had devised to increase her chances of attaining enlightenment.

However, would Shang Yi really wait until the day when all the heavens and myriad worlds self-destruct?
……

In the blink of an eye, eighty-one days have passed.

This number contains hidden secrets and many mysteries, belonging to the timing of heaven.

Shang Yi successfully refined the two relics of Amitabha Buddha, which became resources for the advancement of the Heavenly Dao Palace.

Moreover, Shang Yi used his great supernatural powers to inscribe the Heavenly Dao True Law and the Primordial Ancestral Law into the Heavenly Dao Palace, allowing the Heavenly Dao Palace to still have the possibility of further advancement.

In his deduction, the final Heavenly Dao Palace will be like the prototype of the Dao Fruit, containing all Daos, and will be able to become the source of a different world, spitting out the One Great Dao, giving rise to all the heavens and myriad worlds, and dominating the birth and destruction of one era after another.

With his wish fulfilled, Shang Yi had no more worries. As thoughts surged through his mind, the myriad worlds hidden deep within his eyes gradually blurred and were enveloped by mist.

……

Yuxu Palace.

Flowers rained down from the sky, golden lotuses sprang from the ground, and countless mysteries and wonders arose in the void.

Meng Qi, who was performing the magic, suddenly stopped, causing Guang Chengzi and other powerful figures below the platform, who were completely absorbed in the performance, to show expressions of confusion.

"Da Qinggen, go and greet Xuan Nu."

He looked at the big green root beside him.

This is a spirit of a medicinal herb. Meng Qi once jokingly called it a spirit of Isatis root. Now it is the gatekeeper of Yuxu Palace and calls itself the Heavenly King.

"The Goddess Xuan Nu?"

As Da Qinggen pondered this, he stood up, dragging his branch, and replied, "Yes, sir."

The powerful cultivators of Jade Void Palace were also surprised.

The arrival of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden undoubtedly represents the will of that being. So what does that being want to do?
While everyone was puzzled, Da Qinggen had already led the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden in.

"Greetings, Heavenly Venerable."

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden bowed her head and paid half-payment in worship.

Seeing this, Meng Qi raised his hand to stop him in advance. He said with a smile, "Why does Your Majesty need to do this? If it weren't for Your Majesty's help back then, I would have died on Mount Ling long ago, and I wouldn't be where I am today."

His body was reshaped by the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden on Mount Ling. Strictly speaking, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden can be considered the mother of this body.

In addition, since the other party had indeed done him a favor, Meng Qi, even though he was now an ancient person, still addressed the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden as "Niangniang" (Empress).

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden had known Meng Qi for a long time and knew his personality, so she no longer insisted on bowing.

He respectfully said, "I have come to pay my respects to the Heavenly Venerable to convey His Majesty's words."

Just as Guang Chengzi and the others were getting their ears perked up and wondering what was going on, they heard Meng Qi say with a smile, his expression unchanged, "I understand."

What does he know?

Of course, it refers to the words that the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden had yet to utter.

The other shore possesses the future; even before the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden entered the Jade Void Palace, Meng Qi already knew the answer.

His smile faded, and he sighed, "See you in the next era..."

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden nodded slightly, confirming that Meng Qi's words were correct.

Just as He was about to leave, Meng Qi's expression froze. He suddenly stood up, startling everyone.

The elegant and refined Gu Xiaosang also entered the main hall of Yuxu Palace at this moment, her expression also seemingly shaken.

Bodhi Pure Land, Vacuum Homeland, Demon Emperor's Palace, Fusang Ancient Tree Realm...

From within each of the other shore's sacred sites, gazes were cast with astonishment and uncertainty.

Only then did the group of powerful beings hear a tremendous sound that pierced through heaven and earth and transcended time and space.

Boom!

Shang Yi walked out of the Heavenly Dao Palace and struck out with his palm, breaking the Jianmu tree in two!

The core of the real world was reduced to ashes in an instant, and spacetime was also distorted and torn apart!
The universes collapsed simultaneously, and all the heavens sank.

However, at this moment, time became unusually blurred, as if these destroyed places still existed, which was extremely contradictory and illogical. Destruction and non-destruction were superimposed, and all kinds of contradictions were superimposed, appearing in the world at the same time and existing at the same time.

It's as if many futures that should have been swallowed up by the current node appeared together in the same spacetime, but were not swallowed up by the current node, unlike before when there was only one possibility left, becoming reality, becoming history.

"The end of an era!?"

All the powerful figures were horrified.

They suddenly looked up at the unknown height.

The majestic emperor who had slain Amitabha Buddha stood there quietly, hands behind his back, gazing upon the world.

Even though the crown obscured His face, all the powerful beings who could see the mysterious heights felt that the majestic emperor was looking at them. His eyes reflected everything in the world, encompassing all the heavens and embracing all realms.

"Has He gone mad?"

The Eternal Mother's expression changed; her plan had been disrupted.

He saw the majestic form of the emperor disintegrating, just like the Heavenly Emperor at the end of previous eras.

The era ended, and the Heavenly Emperor perished!
This shows that even someone as powerful as the Lord of the Merchant Pavilion, the strongest being from the other shore throughout history, could not escape the fate of being a Heavenly Emperor and could only perish.

But He still chose this path, even deliberately breaking the Jianmu tree to bring about the end decades earlier.

At the very moment when the ultimate complexity and simplicity, the ultimate yin and yang, the destruction of existence, the past, present, and future, and even all contradictions were superimposed, the extraordinary phenomena of the other shore appeared.

The universe was in chaos!

"Someone actually took advantage of this opportunity to reach the other shore!" "Is it the Monkey King? Yang Jian? Or Lu Ya? Or who else?"

Upon witnessing the chaotic phenomena of the contradictory world, all the powerful beings were stunned, each speculating in their own minds.

It must be said that this is indeed an excellent opportunity, at least there will be no ancient people blocking the way. As for the normal other shore, that depends on one's own destiny.

However, there is also danger. When the era ends, everything will collapse within a few breaths, while the time required for the Creator to break free from the Sea of ​​Suffering is much longer. In other words, there is a great possibility that the Creator who breaks free from the Sea of ​​Suffering will not perish at the hands of the Inner Tribulation and the Other Shore, but will perish at the end of the era.

However, seeing that the Jade Void Palace was not much different from usual, all the great supernatural beings understood that Yang Jian had not escaped the sea of ​​suffering.

Looking around at the myriad realms, both the Great Sage Equaling Heaven and Lu Ya were astonished, and had not yet escaped the sea of ​​suffering.

This is quite puzzling. The number of people who have achieved perfect enlightenment is extremely limited, and they are definitely not as common as cabbages. Who else could be freed from the sea of ​​suffering if not them?

Inside the Jade Void Palace.

Guang Chengzi voiced his doubts, asking directly, "Master, who is it that has reached the other shore at this moment?"

This sentence was uttered in a fraction of a second, so that even cultivators below the legendary level couldn't hear it.

As Guang Chengzi spoke, all the powerful cultivators from Yuxu Palace looked at Meng Qi with great curiosity.

Although the destruction of the era was terrifying, with Meng Qi's protection, they didn't need to worry. As the top beings in the Sea of ​​Bitterness, they were more concerned about which great supernatural being would seize this opportunity to reach the other shore.

"do not know."

The person who answered was not Meng Qi, but Gu Xiaosang.

She suppressed her shock and astonishment and spoke calmly:
“This time, the phenomenon on the other side is different from the past. Perhaps it is because of the destruction of the final calamity. At every node of the long river of time that was originally shrinking and heading towards destruction, the phenomenon of ‘chaos of heaven and earth’ has appeared.”

"Under this state of overlapping contradictions, the changes in the past have not affected you for the time being; otherwise, your memories would have been readjusted as time goes by."

Gu Xiaosang's answer stunned everyone.

Does every point in the past hold a vision of the afterlife?
Unheard of!

Meanwhile, a group of powerful beings connected to those on the other side also received this answer.

Everyone's expression hardened, vaguely sensing that something was amiss.

After a moment of silence, Meng Qi spoke up, his expression complex: "When the final calamity erupted, contradictions piled up, and the definition of the 'current node' became ambiguous and extremely vague. Although we couldn't find that Dao-proving one throughout all eras, however..."

At this point, Meng Qi paused, then continued, "Perhaps it was the final calamity that affected the source of time. Since no trace of that Dao-proving being could be found at the very moment of the birth of the first era, there is only one possibility..."

……

"That person is at the root of time."

Behind the layers of white gauze curtains, the elegant voice of the Demon Saint could be heard.

He was born at the beginning of the first era. Even if He was not a nascent form of the Dao Fruit, He could still use His roots to trace back to that era. Therefore, He came to the same conclusion as the ancients.

Since the one who proved the Dao could not be found in all the eras and dimensions of time and space throughout history, only the Root of Time remains.

"He is at the root of time?"

The Great Sage Equaling Heaven's face twitched slightly, and he muttered to himself in disbelief, "Doesn't that mean that as long as he successfully reaches the other shore, he will be one of the oldest beings on the other shore?"

It's true that those who live on the other side are more powerful and older, but older people aren't necessarily more powerful. The Demon Saint, who was born in the earliest era, is an example of this.

The time they can rewind to is almost identical to that of the Ancient Ones, but in any case, they are no match for the Ancient Ones.

"Yes."

The Demon Saint seemed to nod in agreement, saying, "Unless it is the Celestial Venerable of Morality or the Lord of the Merchant Pavilion who takes action, the person at the Root of Time will not face external calamities. As long as they successfully escape the sea of ​​suffering before the end of the calamity, they will have succeeded."

There was one more thing He didn't say: the Prophet of the Root of Time had truly reached the other shore. He was the weakest and oldest being in history, in stark contrast to the strongest being on the other shore. It could only be said that He could trace back to the beginning of His entry into the other shore from the Root of Time.

After thinking about this, the Demon Saint suddenly said with a hint of doubt, "Something's not right..."

"He was born from the source of time. Although he was struggling to break free from the sea of ​​suffering, he did not absorb any future bodies. In fact, it could be said that he had no future body. It was only the outbreak of the final calamity that gave birth to a being within the source of time. However, under such contradictory circumstances, nothing about that being was transmitted to the next era, so there was no future to speak of."

"Rather than saying that He needs to go back to the past, what He really needs to do is to take possession of the 'future,' to take possession of all the possibilities and many eras that follow the origin of time."

The Demon Saint's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Even those who have reached the other shore are somewhat bewildered when encountering this situation for the first time.

Every being who has reached the other shore throughout history has attained enlightenment at this particular juncture, in past history. This is something that doesn't even exist in theory. Only at this moment, when the end times are erupting, with contradictions coexisting and illogicalities defying logic, could such a situation occur.

Only after the Demon Saint's murmurs subsided did someone among the Great Sages of the Heavens say, "Your Majesty, the Lord of the Merchant Pavilion..."

"Does He still have the power to kill this enlightened one?"

The strange phenomena of chaos in heaven and earth have appeared. Under normal circumstances, a great master who has escaped the sea of ​​suffering only needs to break through the eternal nothingness to reach the other shore. However, according to common sense, outsiders cannot interfere with this brief period of time. The one who has attained enlightenment and witnessed the strange phenomena of chaos in heaven and earth must either break through the eternal nothingness or be assimilated by the chaos. There is no other possibility.

Most importantly, the form of the Lord of the Merchant Tower is dissipating. At this rate, it won't be long before this strongest being of all time vanishes into nothingness, causing the myriad worlds currently rife with contradictions to disappear forever from history.

Then, the Demon Saint's answer made all the Great Saints of the Heavens secretly swallow hard.

"Any of the most ancient beings can witness the chaos of heaven and earth and break through the eternal barrier to make a move. Even if they can witness the strange phenomena of the chaos of heaven and earth, which means that the power of the one who has attained the Dao is almost beyond the sea of ​​suffering, it is still difficult to resist the crushing power of the most ancient being's thought."

"Although the Lord of the Merchant Building is dissipating, his power will not decrease too much. Otherwise, how could the Vacuum Hometown be so quiet?"

The moment the Demon Saint finished speaking, the pitch-black and terrifying Six Soul Banner shot straight up to an infinite height, catching the eyes of all the important figures.

The Eternal Mother stood before the Six Soul Banner, offering prayers, determined to seize this last opportunity and fight to the bitter end.

"go to hell."

Looking at Shang Yi, whose form had mostly dissipated, the Eternal Mother spoke indifferently in a low voice.

In your prime, nothing can harm you, but when you are about to fall, the power of the Six Souls Banner will be your death warrant.

Even if they still had some strength left, how could they possibly break through the Six Soul Banner?
By severing the Jianmu tree that supports all the heavens and myriad realms, you not only caused your own demise but also nearly buried my chance to attain enlightenment. At the same time, you brought the power of the Six Soul Banner to an unprecedented peak, making it more than enough to threaten you at this moment.

After getting rid of you, seize the opportunity when the conflict hasn't completely disappeared, take advantage of Gu Xiaosang's obsession with me, and fight to the death!
"go to hell!"

The Eternal Mother murmured to herself again, revealing the depth of her murderous intent towards Shang Yi.

Shang Yi's consciousness was slightly hazy.

He exists both at the source of time and at the end of the apocalypse.

The ascension of the Immortal Emperor's true form to the other shore, coupled with the fall of the Lord of the Merchant Pavilion, dealt an unprecedented blow to Shang Yi's thinking.

Even with his unwavering will, capable of shattering the void separating epochs and traversing the river of time that renders every unit of time pale and powerless, he could not withstand the essential leap of his Immortal Emperor body and the demise of the Lord of the Merchant Pavilion. It seemed that this triggered a contradictory force that was assaulting Shang Yi's consciousness. (End of Chapter)
