A swarm of heavy artillery bombarded the cultivators.

Chapter 2226 The future of the True Phoenix Heavenly Fire Path is uncertain.

Jiang Ding quietly gazed at the spirit lock that had fallen into the minor world.

This thing, which is exactly the same as the basic spiritual particles, is not very powerful. It naturally participates in the world cycle and is a form that exists between matter and energy.

It was initially swallowed unconsciously by a titmouse and became a tiny part of the titmouse's body.

Months later, the titmouse was preyed upon and devoured by a grey eagle, its body becoming part of the eagle's body—a scene extremely common in the natural cycle.

No one knew that during this life-or-death process, the Soul Locking Particle silently completed a replication.

No, it's not replication, or you could call it infection.

In this process, a normal spirit particle was infected and became a magic-destroying spirit particle, which then completed a replication and increase.

The entire process took three months and eighteen days.

The shortest time is thirty days, and this period cannot be shorter, because the fusion of the Lock Spirit and the host requires a certain amount of time, otherwise the replication and transfer process cannot be completed.

Is it a long time?
Long.

If we only look at the rate of proliferation of the first generation, the time it would take for the first generation of Soul Locking Particles to spread throughout the True Phoenix Star Domain would be infinitely long, and it would probably take hundreds of millions of years to replicate them throughout a small thousand worlds.

However, after one proliferation, the replication speed of the Lock Spirit Particle doubled!
Now two Soul Locks are copying simultaneously!

Next, there will be four Soul Locks!

And so it continues to multiply, multiply, and replicate...

"It's so beautiful,"

"What a beautiful scene..."

Jiang Ding looked with appreciation at a corner of this vast world, in a mountain forest.

The Spirit-Locking Particles of Extinction replicate continuously with the cycle of life and death, spreading throughout this mountain forest over several years. Then, as life gradually expands to the entire Lesser Thousand Worlds, wherever there is the cycle of life and death, there is the replication process of the Spirit-Locking Particles, which never stops.

Within just a few decades, the basic spiritual energy particles of the entire Lesser Thousand Worlds were replaced with Spirit Locking Particles.

These spirit-locking particles spread in all directions as cultivators of various races and bird races in the Lesser Thousand Worlds ascended, and as the rare and precious materials of the Lesser Thousand Worlds flowed outwards.

It spread discreetly and cautiously.

Jiang Ding closed his eyes slightly, then opened them again.

A thousand years later, the Lock Spirit Particles spread throughout the star field, reaching many Great Thousand Worlds and Middle Thousand Worlds, and further spread to even wider areas as powerful beings of all races migrated and moved.

Ten thousand years later, the Soul Lock Particles filled dozens of star fields.

Twenty thousand years later, the Soul Locking Seeds began to spread throughout the more than eight hundred True Phoenix Star Domains.

These locked spirit particles are no different from the basic spiritual energy particles that exist in the universe. They possess all the functions of basic spiritual energy particles, only with the addition of some subtle structures. They are exactly the same as the natural structures. Each spiritual energy particle is inherently extremely different.

This is the result of hundreds of thousands of years of research and development of the Daoist arts!

If Zhenhuangzi had not known this beforehand and had not invested a great deal of research into the Extinction Law Locking Spirit Particle, it would have been absolutely impossible for her to detect the changes in this starry sky.

To date, Jiang Ding has never used the Soul Locking Particle to change anything.

At this moment, as the Lock Spirit Particles filled the True Phoenix Star Domain, Jiang Ding felt a slight tremor in his heart, and a sense of disorientation welled up in his mind.

The flow of the Heavenly Dao throughout the entire True Phoenix Star Domain seemed to clearly appear in his mind. The laws governing the movement of the starry sky, the birth, growth, advancement, and death of life in various worlds, all appeared before his eyes.

"Skyfire Avenue..."

Jiang Ding's gaze involuntarily fell upon the Heavenly Dao. Among the three thousand Great Daos of the True Phoenix Star Domain, countless fine, hair-like crimson threads had appeared at some unknown time. These crimson threads, like a spider web, were distributed at each node of the operation of the three thousand Great Daos, occasionally twitching and affecting the operation of the Heavenly Dao in this starry sky. The Heavenly Fire Great Dao was leveraging the three thousand Great Daos.

That fiery avenue contained the will of a living being, making people dare not approach it even slightly.

"Found you, you lovely and beautiful thing..."

Jiang Ding's voice was soft and gentle.

He had no intention of disturbing the beings on the Heavenly Fire Avenue; his gaze was solely focused on the world of the True Phoenix Star Domain.

Jiang Ding saw the predetermined fates of all living beings in the world.

On the treetop, a fiery red butterfly fluttered its wings, drawing power from the flames. The changes in the Heavenly Fire Dao were present on its body. Its life and death, how it lived and how it died, would affect Zhenhuangzi's immortal experiment. The result of this experiment would affect Zhenhuangzi's exploration of the immortal universe constant.

In a human Golden Core sect, cultivators practice fire-attribute techniques. These human cultivators die in battles and labor, and their lives and deaths also affect the True Phoenix Immortal Dao universe constant.

A phoenix, emerging from its shell, is bathing in lava, undergoing a rebirth and transformation. This is a crucial experimental step for the True Phoenix Immortal Dao's cosmic constant...

The Supreme Great Sun Sword Fairy witnessed everything that happened on the True Phoenix Heavenly Fire Path!

"Then destroy."

"This Flame Butterfly was originally destined to devour the Fire Spirit Fruit to advance or die. This was its destiny planned within the Heavenly Fire Avenue, an experiment."

"Now, this fire butterfly should be crushed to death by the boulder."

Jiang Ding said expressionlessly.

True Phoenix Child, after all, is not an immortal, nor even an emperor. He cannot completely influence the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, nor can he fully control the Great Dao of Heavenly Fire. His control over Heaven and Earth cannot be absolutely precise, but only roughly precise. Unexpected events will occur from time to time, and he cannot control everything.

All she could do was ensure that the experiments were carried out accurately for most of the living beings.

Deng!
Under the will of the Supreme Great Sun Sword Fairy, something seemed to have happened to the fundamental spiritual particles somewhere in the world.

Many things happened in an instant.

A weed swayed in the wind, a giant fire python twisted its body as it traveled, a leaf fell to the ground... After a series of natural coincidences, a stone the size of a millstone happened to land and smashed a fire butterfly that happened to be flying by, turning it into a pile of minced meat.

This tiny experiment involving the True Phoenix Immortal Path's cosmological constant was thus abruptly halted.

Similarly, a human Golden Core cultivator who was supposed to die in the destiny of the Heavenly Fire Avenue, and whose different ways of dying were observed to explore the Heavenly Dao, survived.

A phoenix undergoing rebirth let out a sharp cry and began its ascent in a completely different experimental direction.

Promotion in this direction is not useless, but it will cause this important experiment, which has been in preparation for a long time, to fail completely, and no expected research results will be achieved.

The cosmological constant of the True Phoenix Immortal Path has not improved at all...

Each of the different True Phoenix Immortal Path experiments, each of the predetermined goals in their destinies, failed to lead to their intended fates and instead deviated from their planned paths.

The research data and process were completely chaotic.

It's like a martial arts master suddenly turning into a thug who can only use wild, unorthodox punches. The power that was originally used to concentrate on exploring the most advanced True Phoenix Immortal Dao technology is now completely chaotic.

On this day, all the phoenixes and powerful beings of all races who participated in the comprehension of the True Phoenix Heavenly Fire Great Dao gradually felt that the Heavenly Dao was becoming increasingly incomprehensible.

The True Phoenix Heavenly Fire Path began to become difficult and obscure, with every step being incredibly challenging.

An invisible and unknown panic began to emerge in the hearts of the powerful figures in the True Phoenix Star Domain.

　For now, sir.
　　There's still some lag, and the problem persists.
