The heavens began from a small hell

In the Douluo World, deep within the unknown starry sky.

Lin Yang was in the time distortion zone, while his mind communicated with the Golden Emperor in the chat group.

[Sacrificial Ritual: After I left, did Buddha intervene?]
His Dharma body appeared to have completely perished in the world of the Supreme Being, with signs of his fall from the other shore already appearing. In reality, he left the world of the Supreme Being while preserving his true nature and spiritual light.

Although he couldn't actively choose when to leave, Lin Yang, who remembered when he entered the world of Supreme Being, naturally knew when he could leave.

Jin Huang also wrote that part of the script with this time period as its core.

Otherwise, under the influence of the coexistence of contradictions in the final tribulation, a simple fall might not necessarily cause Yuanshi Tianzun to fail in his attempt to reduce emptiness; there might be further variables at that time.

As a result, the Golden Emperor killed Sun Wukong and Yang Jian.

Both of them practiced the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts" of Yuanshi Tianzun. Sun Wukong was even a product of Yuanshi Tianzun's original subtraction and emptiness. If he were alive, he might cause some changes.

[Everything is under control: Buddha didn't intervene. I had previously agreed with Him that I would lower His realm after He attained enlightenment, freeing Him from his current limbo.]
[Everything is under control: Even if He were to intervene, it would only be to stop the Three Pure Ones or Amitabha Buddha. The moment you disappeared, He would surely understand that the Primordial Celestial Venerable had no chance.]
It is unknown when the Golden Emperor came into contact with the Buddha. Perhaps it was through traces of the Buddha suppressing the demon Buddha Ananda, or perhaps it was for some other reason.

"They've really prepared everything."

Lin Yang sighed.

He didn't ask how 'Su Meng's' relatives and friends were doing. Now that he no longer had to play 'Su Meng,' he naturally wouldn't be so immersed in the role he was in the script.

If one cannot even do this, there is no hope of proving one's own legend, because it means that one has not been able to understand 'what I am,' so how can one talk about becoming the only one in all realms?

[Offering Ritual: Can we proceed now?]
[Everything is under control: Yes, the old ways are buried, a new era has begun.]
Upon seeing the Golden Emperor's response, the Dharma Body that had just left the World of Supreme Being went to the World of Supreme Being again.

……

On the boundless land, spiritual energy bursts forth, and the world is filled with a misty atmosphere formed by materialized Dao principles. Taking a breath of this mist is like being close to the Dao itself, as if the Dao itself is flowing into your life.

This is the new era. As the Golden Emperor said, everything from the past will be buried with the final calamity. There will be no more beings born after birth, and the innate spirits will continue to be conceived.

As for the Three Pure Ones, the Demon Emperor, Amitabha Buddha, the White Lotus Holy Mother, and other beings from the other side of the old era, their absence from the new era speaks volumes.

The Golden Emperor is still the same Golden Emperor.

She is the innate deity Xi Wangmu, the Golden Mother of Yaochi, the Golden Emperor, one of the Five Emperors, and the Eternal Mother who has broken free from the body of an innate deity.

His heart was set on the Great Way.

Now that He has attained enlightenment, does anything from the past still have any meaning?

Just as Lin Yang was lamenting the desolation of the new era, a familiar figure suddenly appeared beside him.

It was the Golden Emperor whose eyes contained all the beauty in the world and whose face was so perfect that words could not describe it.

In a daze, His figure seemed to change for a moment, becoming the younger, tearful White Lotus Mother.

In the blink of an eye, His form seemed to have changed again, becoming a Taoist who appeared to be middle-aged, bearing all causes and effects, like a quiet and inactive old man, or a sword-wielding youth symbolizing the transition from existence to nothingness.

She transformed into the venerable and deeply loving demon goddess Feng Xi, seemingly reclining behind layers of white gauze curtains, like the Mother of All Spirits.

It also resembles a Buddha with his palms clasped together...

Lin Yang saw all that had happened in the past, and he saw countless living beings.

[Target Level: 211.] [Overall Strength: Rainbow.]

Upon seeing the feedback from the detection function, Lin Yang was momentarily speechless.

After Jin Huang achieved the 'Dao Fruit', his leap from level 189 to level 211 with a colored rating was extremely terrifying, even stronger than his current Heavenly Monarch body.

But this level...

Can we ignore the influence of the owner of the bronze coffin?

It's highly unlikely to work.

Given this, the Golden Emperor's performance in the Sacred Ruins world wouldn't be much stronger than that of the level 199 Mysterious Ancestor, and it would be in the same situation as the Heavenly Monarch's body.

Have these past few centuries of Dharmakaya been wasted?

As the thought flashed through Lin Yang's mind, he took the initiative to ask, "It is said that the Dao Fruit is wrong to talk about, and err to think about; it is unknowable and undiscussable. After you achieved the Dao Fruit, what is the situation now?"

The Golden Emperor, whose form was ever-changing yet seemingly constant, giving people a strong sense of contradiction, spoke: "This is the 'Old Form,' which is a fusion of all that existed or did not exist in the past, contained in a bit of my spiritual light."

"All that was before remains with this body."

His voice was constantly changing, not only when he spoke, but even the tone of the words in Lin Yang's memory was changing, sometimes male, sometimes female, sometimes neutral, sometimes sinister, sometimes holy, sometimes depraved...

The aura of the Golden Emperor was different at this moment. An indescribable feeling rushed into Lin Yang's senses and occupied all his thinking ability.

Neither existent nor nonexistent, neither true nor empty, neither existent nor nonexistent, yet paradoxically, it is truly eternal, inherently existent and eternal, both existent and nonexistent, truly real and empty.

How can I describe this feeling more accurately...?

Lin Yang racked his brains, but it was something that could only be understood intuitively and could not be explained in words. It was extremely contradictory and illogical. To say it would be wrong, and to think of it would be absurd.

The Golden Emperor's ever-changing voice seemed to echo from the horizon, and also seemed to resonate deep within his heart: "If I were to appear before you in my true form instead of using my 'old body,' it would have an effect on you that you would not want to accept."

"Like all rivers flowing into the sea, like prosperity turning to dust, everything will point to me and become a part of me, yet I consider myself independent and not dependent on anyone."

As the Golden Emperor spoke, its form shifted into an indescribable male figure. Lin Yang had never seen it before, but a name flashed through his mind—

Zixiao Palace.

That was the Daoist Venerable's Daoist temple before his transcendence. He had visited Zixiao Palace in the script, but when he traveled back in time inside Zixiao Palace, he didn't even see the mark that the Daoist Venerable used to maintain history.

Even so, history has not collapsed. In the eyes of the guests in the Zixiao Palace in the past, the Daoist Master still lies high in the nine layers of clouds.

"This is Dao Zun? The Golden Emperor said that the Old Body includes 'everything,' even Dao Zun?"

The moment Lin Yang had that thought, he heard the Golden Emperor say something that was hard to describe precisely, but as close to reality as possible: "Those who attain the Dao Fruit are intertwined, you are in me and I am in you, unique and complete, mutually independent, without distinction between each other."

In a daze, the form of the Golden Emperor changed again, transforming from a human shape into nothingness, with a glimmer of light appearing. This was the Primordial Creation of Heaven.

After the beginning of creation, a new era followed the final catastrophe. The White Lotus Holy Mother, who saved the world from the catastrophe, descended upon the world created by the beginning of creation, bringing with her the surviving beings from the previous era.
