"You've already perished, yet you still cling to these obsessions?"

The current overlapping logical contradictions have not completely disappeared. The chronological order and possibilities of the timeline coexist. The recently fallen Eternal Mother still seems as if she has not fallen. She also guessed that it was her previous actions that allowed Shang Yi, who had almost severed his own path to enlightenment, to return to the other shore.

It's impossible to say that He had no emotional fluctuations, but what could he do?

Upon returning to the other shore, Shang Yi absorbed the power of his original form and became even stronger.

Although the number of Dao Fruits cannot directly represent the gap between the other shores, the difference between 129,600 Dao Fruit prototypes and one Dao Fruit prototype is obvious without even thinking about it. Add to that the power of the original form, how could He possibly be a match?

The best course of action is to seize the moment before the superimposed state disappears, attain enlightenment, and reverse the fact that one has fallen.

After all, it's not impossible for someone who has attained the Dao to defy logic, perish first, and then attain enlightenment later.

However, just as the Eternal Mother was about to make a move, Gu Xiaosang absorbed her, and the Xuan-robed emperor, shrouded in billions of rays of light, traversed the vast expanse of history across all eras and arrived at this very moment.

Looking at the tense atmosphere outside Yuxu Palace, Shang Yi calmly said, "The Three Pure Ones have attained enlightenment; in the next era, I will be the Dao Fruit."

"Who objects?"

His gaze swept across the inner and outer aspects of time, looking towards the people on the other side.

"We are both on the other side, so let's not let Mother Jin walk too lonely."

No one objected; everyone acquiesced.

Just kidding, anyone who voices objections will obviously end up going down the same road as Kim's mother.

"The Three Pure Ones attaining enlightenment?"

The Eternal Mother was stunned.

The Three Pure Ones have actually attained enlightenment? So fast?
However, He still harbored doubts and deep resentment. The Dao Fruit defied logic; who could guarantee that only one Dao Fruit could be born in an era?
Before today, there was only one Dao Venerable who had transcended. At that time, all the beings on the other shore were watching Dao Venerable's transcendence, and no one followed suit. Naturally, they could not prove the authenticity of the Dao Fruit of an era.

The Eternal Mother would never be satisfied without trying it herself.

Shang Yi seemed to sense His thoughts, but said nothing. In any case, he had tried to transcend logic, imagination, and concepts at that moment to achieve true transcendence, but he failed.

"It can't be that my method of subtracting to find emptiness is wrong, can it?"

The moment the thought crossed his mind, Shang Yi frowned secretly.

The mystery of cause and effect is profound and mysterious.

In theory, his extraordinary journey to the other side is a manifestation of cause and effect, and is a connection with all the heavens and myriad worlds.

And this part of the cause and effect, no one can bear for him, no matter how insignificant it may be, it is real.

"Tsk."

"So the order was wrong. It seems that even if we hadn't been half a step behind, the probability of attaining the Dao Fruit in this era would still be small."

"If we return to the other shore, there might be a good chance of success, but that would only be if the conclusion that one can achieve enlightenment in one era is wrong."

"Although the Primordial Celestial Venerable of the original timeline said the same thing, that one era brings one fruit, the Three Pure Ones, as a unified whole, were able to succeed..."

Shang Yi's thoughts shifted, and he cleared his mind, feeling somewhat relieved.

Back at the shopping mall, he stopped paying attention to the contradictory world. He only secretly told Gu Xiaosang about the plan of the Eternal Mother to feign an attack, warning her to be careful. As for him, he was too lazy to target a dead person. As long as the current logical contradictions disappeared, the Eternal Mother, who had already perished, could not change the fact that she had not attained the Dao.

At the same time, Meng Qi also met the Primordial Celestial Venerable after his transcendence and received his entrustment.

Let's usher in a new era!

"The day of departure is fast approaching..."

Shang Yi thought to himself.

When the end disappeared, Meng Qi, adhering to the Dao, created heaven and earth, and he had no more worries. He only waited for the end of the new era to attain the Dao fruit.

"Below the nascent stage of the Dao Fruit, it is difficult to resist the prolonged erosion of the end and the assimilation of the chaotic void..."

"Come here."

He looked toward the Demon Emperor's Palace and the realm of the Fusang Ancient Tree.

The two Other Shore Dojos are undergoing the erosion of end and chaos in the void beyond time. It is not obvious in the short term, but given enough time, the two Other Shore Dojos will eventually disappear completely, as will the Demon Saint and the Azure Emperor.

Upholding the principle of compassion for all beings, Shang Yi will not stand idly by and watch them perish; helping others is helping oneself.

"Thank you, OP."

Without hesitation, the Demon Saint and the Azure Emperor took their respective dojos and fled into the commercial building.

When they entered the shopping mall, they saw a familiar figure.

"Human Emperor!"

The Azure Emperor exclaimed in surprise. He had initially thought that this human emperor was an incarnation of Shang Yi, but upon closer inspection, he found that he had no connection with Shang Yi and was the true human emperor.

He exclaimed:

"Lord Shang has some impressive skills; he managed to revive the Human Emperor without making a sound!"

There was also surprise in the eyes of the Demon Saint. As for the Emperor Fu, although he knew about the resurrection of the Human Emperor, he did not reveal it. After all, the current Demon Emperor was played by the Demon Saint and was not the real Demon Emperor!
When the Human Emperor saw the Demon Saint, a complex look flashed in his eyes. Although he still harbored hatred for the demon race, everything was now in vain.

Now, Shang Yi, the Human Emperor, has transformed into the supreme being of all heavens and earth, with all sentient beings under his command. Moreover, the Lord of Shanglou is the strongest being beyond the other shore. It can be said that the human race has now reached its peak.

If He continues to cling to hatred, it will inevitably sow the seeds of future dangers for the human race, which is not what the Human Emperor wants to see.

······
As for Ruan Yushu, he took advantage of the opportunities presented by the final calamity and the afterlife to improve his understanding of the Dao of Life and Death. Through the merchant guild, he was even able to travel to past eras to further enhance his comprehension of the Great Dao.

Ruan Yushu further used this opportunity to create the Pingxin Incarnation, using the Reincarnation Seal as its vessel, thus elevating its realm to a higher level.

At the same time, following his comprehension of life, death, yin and yang, he severed the incarnation of the Taiyin Star Lord; and after Shang Yi, the Human Emperor, became the Great Shang Heavenly Emperor, Ruan Yushu's other incarnation, which had always followed the Human Emperor's incarnation, also became the Heavenly Empress of the Great Shang Heavenly Court.

During the final tribulation, these three incarnations all broke through their limits under the blessing of the tribulation's power, rising to a realm close to the other shore without anyone noticing. Although the arrival of the final tribulation and the collapse of the Heavenly Court injured the incarnation of Empress Ruan Yushu, she also avoided death, and instead, this incarnation was enhanced.

Therefore, during the final tribulation, Ruan Yushu's strength increased all the way. Although he did not directly reach the rudimentary form of the Dao Fruit like Meng Qi and Gu Xiaosang, he still became an ancient being.

It is not far from the rudimentary form of the Dao Fruit.

As for the obsession of the Eternal Mother, at this moment, the accumulated contradictions disappeared, and no matter how unwilling the Eternal Mother was, it ultimately vanished like smoke.

Meng Qi originally intended to take the Jade Void Palace into the commercial building to save energy in maintaining the temple, but after thinking about the words conveyed by the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, Meng Qi believed that there must be a deeper meaning in the words, so he gave up the idea.

Above His head, auspicious clouds changed, revealing the Daoist lamp, which illuminated the causes of all results, clarifying the current chaotic and frenzied world of cause and effect, instantly tracing back to the source, as if arriving at the state where cause and effect first appeared.

In the dim light, amidst the interwoven brilliance of starlight, a Taoist priest sat serenely, watching Meng Qi "arrive"!
Before Meng Qi could react, the indescribable Taoist suddenly stood up, smiled, and spoke:
"This humble Taoist is Yuanshi."

When the path to enlightenment is exhausted, one sees the Primordial Beginning. Unexpectedly, his first meeting with the true Primordial Heavenly Venerable was at this moment... Meng Qi bowed and said, "Greetings, Master Primordial Beginning."

Behind Yuanshi there were two other figures. One showed the process of things going from existence to non-existence, and the other had white hair and white head. He was the Heavenly Venerable of Morality, but his presence was extremely faint. The three were independent of each other, yet they seemed to be one, just different manifestations at different times and in different states.

Seeing this, Meng Qi's mind was as clear as a mirror, and he immediately smiled and spoke again:

"Congratulations to the three teachers for attaining enlightenment and achieving liberation."

Yuanshi laughed and said, "It's all thanks to your attainment of the other shore, otherwise everything would have been over."

Ultimately, the key to escaping suffering lies within oneself; external things can only hinder, not help!
"Why did the Golden Emperor's obsession fail?" Meng Qi couldn't hide his doubts.

Is the matter settled like this?

The Primordial Daoist calmly said:
"He sought the Dao fruit through this method, which was essentially a fight to the death, cutting off all escape routes and chasing that sliver of hope. Once he failed, he would naturally vanish completely, with no chance to start over."

That makes sense… Meng Qi nodded slightly. The Golden Emperor sacrificed himself to make Xiao Sang an Ancient One, allowing her to absorb all the imprints and bear all the cause and effect. In terms of timeline, this was a complete fall. The “later” was a process of subtraction to achieve emptiness and perfection, giving her the qualifications to challenge for the Dao Fruit. Logically speaking, this “later” event was originally impossible, but now, in the process of the end of the era, all contradictions can be superimposed. Not only can the timeline be correct, but the logical order can also be correct. And since he had already “fallen,” there was no possibility of him being weakened. There was nothing that could be subtracted.

If one can seize this opportunity to attain the Dao Fruit, the Dao Fruit's unknowable and incomprehensible mysteries will make even the most illogical things before possible. If one fails, this state of logical contradictions cannot last, and will eventually lead to the complete demise of the Golden Emperor.

It seems that the Golden Emperor slowed down the Moral Celestial Venerable, which affected the Three Pure Ones as a whole and gave him the upper hand. Although he was killed by Brother Shang, judging from his obsession, he must have had a backup plan. So why did he still fail to seize the opportunity to transcend?
The Primordial Daoist smiled and said:
"He shouldn't have placed morality on the Six Souls Banner."

"The reason we wait for the end of the era to seek the Dao Fruit is twofold: firstly, to give you more opportunities to become an ancient being; and secondly, because the myriad realms have completely collapsed, and the foundation of existence is at its weakest, morality can be liberated. The Golden Mother weakened morality by using the Six Soul Banner, making it more damaged and weaker, which brings it closer to transcendence, doesn't it?"

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

"This principle was told to Him long ago, but unfortunately He was blinded by the struggle over the Great Dao and only thought about weakening His opponent. He failed to see it and ultimately fell behind."

It turns out that when the Golden Emperor used the Six Soul Banner to worship the Moral Celestial Venerable, it actually helped the Three Pure Ones transcend faster. As for worshipping the Primordial Celestial Venerable and the Spiritual Treasure Celestial Venerable, they were in a strange state, making it difficult for them to act or be affected, so it wouldn't be effective. Moreover, the Six Soul Banner is a spiritual treasure... Meng Qi suddenly realized this and pondered for a moment before saying:
"What if the Queen Mother had seen this and hadn't written the name of the Moral Teacher on the Six Soul Banner?"

Yuanshi said in an unchanged tone:
"He has a 20-30% chance of competing with us for the Dao Fruit, but only a 20-30% chance, because you replaced our mark early on, and He will do all this when Gu Xiaosang 'absorbs' Him at the end. It's too hasty, and He will be dragged down and be a step slower."

The Golden Emperor probably knew this too, which is why he risked using the Six Soul Banner to worship the Moral Celestial Venerable... Meng Qi thought for a moment and said, "For the Golden Mother, the best thing would be to give up this struggle and wait for the next era?"

“No, He only has this one chance.” Yuanshi laughed. “From the moment He manipulated Gu Xiaosang’s fate little by little and provoked you to strike that blow, it was destined that He could only fight for this one chance. Once Gu Xiaosang achieves the other shore, He will definitely suppress any breakthroughs he makes.”

With you and Gu Xiaosang joining forces, plus Shang Yi's help, He probably won't live to see the next era.

From the moment He manipulated Gu Xiaosang's fate little by little, provoking you to strike that blow, it was destined that you could only fight for this opportunity... These words echoed in Meng Qi's heart, giving him an indescribable feeling. The Golden Emperor made such a terrible and despairing plan and achieved great success, but in the end, it bound himself and he could only fight for this dangerous opportunity.

Too much scheming and cleverness can backfire and cost you your life!

Thinking of this, Meng Qi sighed and said:

"It's a pity... He was the most terrifying and invincible enemy I've ever seen. It's a real shame that I couldn't defeat him with my own hands."

After expressing his feelings, he asked, "Master Yuanshi, is it really true that one can only attain one Dao Fruit in one era?"

The Three Pure Ones as a whole are a separate matter.

“Yes.” Yuanshi nodded in affirmation. “Only a complete cycle of power, from nothing to something, from flourishing to prosperity, from prosperity to decline, and then from something back to nothing, can allow the nascent form of the Dao Fruit to truly mature.”

"What about Buddha?" Meng Qi asked in confusion. It seemed that Daoist had truly transcended, even though the things he left behind had great potential consequences.

“He is in a limited and incomplete state of Dao Fruition, not a transcendent being. His cooperation with us is in the hope that after we attain Dao Fruition, we can knock him down to this state, free him from his limitations, and start anew.” Yuanshi smiled and said, “The end has come, it is time for you to usher in the next era.”

As they spoke, the Three Pure Ones vanished as if they had never existed. Before Meng Qi was a rapidly shrinking void, and Gu Xiaosang was lost in thought.

"The Golden Mother is dead, and the Three Pure Ones have attained enlightenment," Meng Qi said simply, bringing Gu Xiaosang back to her senses.

On the other hand, Bodhi Buddha also did not choose to enter the commercial building, preparing to confront the long end and the assimilation of chaos and nothingness alone.

The end of the final catastrophe, though the sum of the ends of all eras, is terrifying beyond measure, the fact that the ancients can travel back to the very beginning of the first era means that they are confident in resisting the long end of the final catastrophe, even though the losses will be enormous.

After an unknown amount of time, when the power of the end of the era finally subsided, Shang Yi had a sudden inspiration and looked at the chaos outside.

Jade Void Palace, scarred and battered, finally survived the end. Meng Qi stood before the palace gate, gripping the hilt of the Absolute Blade, transforming his own Dao Fruit nascent form into the ancient and boundless Pangu Banner, merging it with the domineering blade wreathed in purple lightning.

The world is created today!

With a single slash, the darkness parted, but then quickly collapsed, trying to reform as if there would be no next era. At that moment, from the clear halo behind Meng Qi's head, the azure Great Dao Tree flew out, supporting itself in the crevice, its light flickering, sprouting branches and leaves.

Inside the Ark of Doom, countless beings suddenly felt true light, natural light, infinite light, and then heard a solemn declaration:

"If I, the heaven and earth, are supreme, then everything in the world has a glimmer of hope!"

A flash of light appeared, cleaving through the chaotic void.

A new universe is about to be born.

Meng Qi solemnly declared that he had established the core ironclad rules for the new myriad worlds and altered the corresponding Great Dao.

This is the power that Yuanshi Tianzun possessed when he created the world, which could eternally change the Great Dao that pervades all the heavens and myriad realms, making it a new truth. No matter how many eras pass, as long as no powerful being of the same level alters it, it will always remain the same.

A glimmer of hope for everything.

As Shang Yi sensed the newly emerged myriad realms, a wisp of undying spiritual light separated from his heart and departed from this void of chaos along with the myriad worlds' gold... (End of Chapter)
