The heavens began from a small hell

After leaving the Nine Netherworlds, the Golden Emperor attempted to kill Su Meng, but the Absolute Blade and the Human Emperor Sword blocked him. The two opposing forces, one unwilling to see the Golden Emperor reach perfection and the other unwilling to see the successor of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, each made their moves.

Ananda, the demon Buddha who was once a disciple of Buddha but later caused the extinction of all Buddhas on Mount Ling, would naturally not sit idly by and watch 'Su Meng' ascend to the other shore, thus creating a situation of ebb and flow between the Golden Emperor and Gu Xiaosang.

Although He was suppressed by Buddha and His seal was reinforced by the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi by the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, He still used special means to drive the other shore-level 'Heavenly Dao Monster' under His control to attack 'Su Meng'.

Just as Su Meng reached the most crucial moment of his ascent to the other shore, the Golden Emperor, who was originally the most determined to kill Su Meng, unexpectedly turned against him and resisted the Heavenly Dao Monster, leaving Su Meng without any further external obstacles.

All of this seemed extremely dangerous, but in reality, Lin Yang knew that 'Demon Buddha Ananda' had long been secretly refined into a puppet by the Golden Emperor, and at this moment it was just the Golden Emperor using his left hand to fight his right.

Although 'Demon Buddha Ananda' was the other side of the Jade Emperor, who killed the other side being Donghuang Taiyi in ancient times, this secret identity unknown to outsiders could not change the fact that he became the puppet of the Golden Emperor.

After Jin Huang entered the chat group, less than a thousand years seemed to have passed in the world of "Peerless Sovereign," but in reality, Jin Huang had already accumulated a massive amount of points by distorting his own time and had traveled to other worlds many times.

As far as Lin Yang knew, there were worlds such as the Desolate Era, Global Martial Arts World, Swallowed Star World, and Stellar Transformation World.

Judging from the fact that the Demon Buddha Ananda was turned into a puppet, it is not difficult to know that the Golden Emperor's strength has increased significantly, otherwise he would not have been able to do this.

If one's strength is insufficient, how can one deceive the reinforced seal of the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, or bypass the seal left by the Buddha?

Not only was the 'Heavenly Monster' blocked by the Golden Emperor, but the Heavenly Emperor, who was originally hesitant and had transformed himself into a blade, was also trapped in the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation by the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram and the Four Immortal Slaughtering Swords thrown out by the Golden Emperor, so as to prevent the Heavenly Emperor from blocking 'Su Meng'.

As countless powerful figures were caught in a dreamlike state due to the Golden Emperor's betrayal, Su Meng, who had traveled back to before the birth of the myriad worlds in this era, unleashed a strike comparable to the Great Explosion of the myriad worlds, breaking through the eternal nothingness and manifesting the extraordinary phenomenon of ascending to the other shore in this world.

Gu Xiaosang, who thought she had planned everything and schemed against the other side, was still chilled to the bone by the Golden Emperor's sudden betrayal, recalling his indifferent yet sacred words:

"I am the 'Primordial Celestial Venerable' who granted you independent consciousness, I am the one who instilled in you the various possibilities of your future and the secrets of your Dao Fruit, and I am the one who left the Jade Void Palace's Chaos Green Lotus Seed to bring you back to life..."

“Even the ‘mother’ you keep thinking about is a product of a bit of my will.”

Jin Huang's words shattered all of Gu Xiaosang's convictions and pride; everything she had believed in was destroyed on this day.

Despite appearing free and rebellious against the Golden Emperor, she was, from beginning to end, his puppet.

Even the reason she became stronger...

It was all given to her by the Golden Emperor.

How could Gu Xiaosang remain indifferent to such a fundamental self-denial?

In her moment of helplessness and confusion, some things from the past changed. Those relatives and friends who supposedly died because of 'Su Meng's' escape into the Netherworld were actually not dead. The relatives and friends who appeared to be dead were actually imprisoned in the Vacuum Homeland.

This naturally includes the four Guang Chengzi who were willing to burn themselves out at any cost...

The whims of creation can easily alter this fact for the other side.

However, these things cannot be seen from below the other shore. Such changes have not affected the original situation. At that time, 'Yuanhuang Tianzun Su Meng' was still screaming in agony in the Nine Netherworld because of the deaths of his relatives and friends. A holy and indifferent mature female voice rang in Gu Xiaosang's ears: "Do you see? There is no deep-seated hatred. Below the other shore, one can die or live with a single thought. How one exists and in what form one exists depends only on the outcome of the game between the two shores."

"I am like this, and so is Su Meng."

I said this specifically to strengthen Gu Xiaosang's resolve to continue becoming stronger, so that she wouldn't become complacent just because her husband had reached the other shore.

He wanted Gu Xiaosang to know that others cannot be trusted, and that the tenderness and affection they felt now would inevitably be worn away by time after countless ages.

"You are the product of my subtraction and emptiness, my successor. I am telling you all this to stimulate you to become stronger. The stronger you are, the closer I am to the Dao."

"If your cultivation surpasses mine, I will become a product of your pursuit of emptiness, and everything will benefit you."

Jin Huang's words did not bring Gu Xiaosang back to her senses; she remained icy cold, as if she were in a frigid environment capable of freezing the entire universe.

The otherworldly phenomena that permeate all the heavens and myriad realms are constantly changing, and the light of the otherworld even illuminates the uppermost level of the Nine Heavens and the lowest level of the Nine Netherworlds.

At this time, 'Su Meng' was also gradually moving from the pre-anniversary era to the present day.

The river of time from all the heavens and myriad realms within his body formed a ring, then merged into the river of time from the outside world, penetrating each of his imprints in the outside world. His consciousness connected from each point in the river of time, thus simultaneously existing at every point in time—past, present, and future.

The moment Su Meng returned to the present, knowing all that the Golden Emperor had said to Gu Xiaosang, he thought of his past experiences and saw his wife's lost and dejected expression.

Unable to bear it any longer, Su Meng, facing the Golden Emperor who had been his benefactor in helping him achieve enlightenment, followed his own heart rather than the cause and effect and slashed at the Golden Emperor with an ungrateful blade. The Golden Emperor cooperated by deliberately getting injured and shedding a drop of blood to confirm this act of ingratitude.

From then on, the cause and effect of 'Su Meng' repaying kindness with enmity is difficult to sever, and the debt of gratitude is difficult to repay. With the cause and effect at the other shore level, the limit of this era is the rudimentary form of the Dao Fruit.

The cause and effect of Jin Huang obtaining the inheritance from Yuanshi Tianzun and attaining the Dao was also repaid in one fell swoop by helping 'Su Meng' attain the Dao. From the perspective of cause and effect, he no longer owes Yuanshi Tianzun anything.

Seeing Su Meng sacrifice his future career to protect his wife, and hearing the furious shout of "Go to hell!", Gu Xiaosang, who had been lost in thought, suddenly laughed, a laugh tinged with tears.

Her initial confusion transformed into resilience, and she did not collapse because of the Golden Emperor's words and schemes.

Yes, she still has her husband. As long as her cultivation surpasses that of the Golden Emperor, she can take revenge. Why would she break down?

She should become stronger until she breaks free from suffering and reaches the other shore.

At that time, she and her husband were both on the other side of the river. Couldn't the two of them, working together, contend with the Golden Emperor?

[Sacrificial Ritual: Indeed, her hope was rekindled.]
[Everything is under control: Her past experiences have shaped her character, and your actions now will only strengthen her inner resolve to reach the other side.]
[Sacrificial Ritual: According to the script, the next one is the Demon Emperor.]
[Everything is under control: I will control the 'Demon Buddha' to attack the Demon Emperor's Palace, affecting the Demon Emperor who also has the potential to achieve Dao in this era.]
[The priest said: Then I will observe the situation quietly.]
While Lin Yang and Jin Huang were exchanging information in the group chat, after Lin Yang finished his strike, he took Gu Xiaosang to the real Jade Void Palace, which was located at an infinitely high altitude.
