A swarm of heavy artillery bombarded the cultivators.

Chapter 2026 The Final Moment of the Time Fault is Approaching
Jiang Ding has fully regained consciousness.

The moment he opened his eyes, the world around him seemed to freeze. All sentient beings within a radius of hundreds of thousands of kilometers instantly vanished, losing all their spirituality. Even the rules and cause and effect collapsed and disappeared without a trace.

It's as if the end times have truly arrived!

A terrifying being from the Dharma-ending Age descends upon the world, to proclaim an unstoppable destiny for this endless starry sky.

As the Great Sun Sword Master awakened, the array patterns of the fleet slowly closed, the Sun Ending Dharma Sword Array gradually disappeared without a trace, and the heavy and strict laws vanished.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on breaking through the eighth stage of the Dao Integration Nirvana."

"She is only one step away from becoming a true fairy."

The Holy Maiden of Fusang emerged from the dissipating barrier and quietly gazed at the Great Sun Sword Prince.

For thousands of years, she has been cultivating diligently, and now that breakthrough aura is getting closer and closer, it seems that the eighth step is not too far away.

The Holy Land of Fusang possesses one of the most advanced inheritances in the endless starry sky. As long as the person she chooses does not die in battle or fail, a breakthrough can be considered a matter of course.

"Yes,"

"I have completed my eighth rule-fine-tuning rebirth."

Jiang Ding introspected on himself.

His magical power, divine sense, and sword spirit have all increased several times over, completely surpassing his previous self, equivalent to undergoing a qualitative change.

Since ancient times, the Eight-Step Daoist and the Eight Tribulations Supreme have always been the strongest beings below the True Immortals and important ministers of the Human Emperor. This is not without reason, as they stand in a position below one person and above hundreds of millions of others.

It could be said that at this point, he could easily defeat his previous self.

At the same time, Jiang Ding understood a principle: he had reached the limit of mortals in terms of rule fine-tuning, and his strength had reached the peak of mortals. It was difficult to take another step forward. Even breaking through to the Celestial realm would not bring any change in his strength.

Before reaching the Supreme level, one's strength has already reached its peak.

To go any higher, one must break through the limits and touch the realm of immortals.

One step forward, and you become a true fairy.

One wrong step and one's soul and spirit are destroyed, ruining the promising future of an Eight Tribulation Supreme. Often, Daoists hesitate because of these concerns, leaving behind vast and renowned forces with long-standing legacies in the endless starry sky.

This is a path of no regrets; there is no turning back.

If an Eight Tribulation Supreme submits, the True Fairy will have a very high probability of accepting him.

Even among true fairies of the same race, there is a fight to the death. In the endless universe, only one person can survive in an era, and this has always been the case.

There must be some unknown secret behind this; the emperor would never accept another true fairy.

What will the Great Sun Sword Prince choose?

They will enjoy a life of wealth and glory, their lives will be fulfilling, their immortal sects will steadily advance towards brilliance, and the interests of citizens will be maximized.

Or, should we go a step further without any regrets?
The Holy Maiden of Fusang knew the answer.

She knew that her emperor would have an extremely brilliant life, would be invincible, or would die, and there would never be a second future.

This kind of life, where she would die without becoming the emperor, was exactly what the proud woman desired.

The meeting of two people is never a coincidence.

The Great Sun Sword Prince needs a suitable person to understand the situation in the endless starry sky, and the one the Holy Maiden of Fusang falls in love with must be a being who has the potential to become an emperor.

Both of these creatures are extremely rare.

Within a certain space and time frame, there are practically only two such beings, making it almost impossible to miss them.

"If I die, is there a way to send something to me?"

Jiang Ding asked quietly.

This person is not the Holy Maiden of Fusang.

The moment the Great Sun Sword Prince dies, the Holy Maiden of Fusang will also die.

"Didn't His Majesty say that he would surely win?"

The Holy Maiden of Fusang chuckled softly.

"This is not contradictory."

"In war, one should consider defeat before victory; this is the true principle of military strategy."

Jiang Ding shook his head slightly: "My hometown is a place I cherish. There are many people and things I cherish. My growth depends on the cultivation and support of my hometown. Although there is no such thing as gratitude, my hometown and I are one."

"It is my responsibility to plan for my homeland before stepping onto the battlefield." "My homeland... is still very weak."

Jiang Ding thought for a moment and said, "However, the potential of my hometown is very strong. In fact, as a force, my hometown has the potential of a true fairy. Although it is currently shrouded in a certain fog of self-doubt, no one knows whether it can get out of it in the future."

As Daiichi Kenko began to speak of his homeland, the Holy Maiden of Fusang listened attentively.

Even if I die in battle.

"In the future, my hometown may also become the emperor of the world."

Jiang Ding smiled and said.

The Immortal Sect is a special existence that does not depend on any individual for survival, even though it is still very weak at this time.

Even without the Great Sun Sword Child, the Immortal Sect could still rise to prominence, though the journey would likely be much more difficult.

Of course, one could also die in some kind of accident. In the endless starry sky, no one can say that they can rise to prominence without relying on any luck.

However, no one can deny the potential of the Immortal Sect.

"Does Your Majesty wish to leave something behind for your homeland?"

The Holy Maiden of Fusang asked.

She didn't quite agree with what Da Ri Jian Zi said, taking it as a wanderer's lingering feelings for his hometown through a lens of prejudice.

For example, she also has many unrealistic longings for the sacred land of Japan where she grew up, which is only human nature.

"Yes."

"It's probably some kind of inheritance."

Jiang Ding took something from between his eyebrows and handed it to the Holy Maiden of Fusang.

This is a crystal, a crystal formed from the power of the divine soul.

This is neither a rare treasure nor does it contain any power. It is some knowledge, the knowledge that the Great Sun Sword Master had for developing the immortal sect's industrial system in this time gap, as well as the inheritance of his True Immortal Techniques, which should allow the immortal sect to avoid many detours.

"If you die in battle,"

"I will arrange for someone to send it out."

The Holy Maiden of Fusang accepted the crystal and made a promise.

She didn't ask where it was to be sent; this information would naturally emerge the moment Dairi Kenko died in battle.

Although she died at that time as well.

"Thank you."

Jiang Ding breathed a long sigh of relief. His sword soul instantly became much clearer, and he no longer had any worries.

His gaze began to fall upon the Great Dream Sword Realm, receiving intelligence on the endless starry sky situation over the past millennium, and he discovered that the starry sky situation had now entered its most intense phase.

"His Majesty,"

"Wei Zicheng has already colluded with various local lords and the allied forces of gods and demons. It is estimated that they will march on the Myriad Laws Emperor Heaven within a thousand years at most."

The Holy Maiden of Fusang explained.

When this historical event occurs, it will mean that the time gap is coming to an end. At most tens of thousands of years later, this time gap will end, or all living beings in the present world will be trapped here, unable to escape for eternity.

"Then let's turn back."

"At most five thousand years, we will return to the Vermilion Bird Starfield."

Jiang Ding nodded slightly: "At that time, regardless of whether Hehuan Daozi and Beidou Daozi have broken through to the quasi-ninth-order Dao Fruit, I will kill them. It would be best if they could break through."

"The same applies to that fellow Daoist who inherited the name of the Supreme One. If he has the courage to challenge me to a holy sword duel, I can also grant him death."

"These things will be taken care of."

"Then,"

Jiang Ding spoke with a mixture of cold and burning killing intent.

"When the time rift is about to end, I will face the true fairy."

"let me see,"

"Let me see, let me see, whether I will die at the hands of a true fairy..."

　Completed the work for the master today.
