A journey of survival starting from Zhetian

Chapter 636 The Rising "Enthusiasm"

The blood moon, high in the sky, fell, leaving behind wisps of crimson stardust that drifted straight into the oil painting.

One streak of blood-red light after another bloomed between heaven and earth, blossoming into one sacred crimson flower after another. The void also began to flow with a beautiful cycle of life, washing away the pollution that was about to spread from the frame, settling it down, and transforming it into the ancient and rough lines on the wooden frame, adding a sense of ancient vicissitudes to the entire oil painting.

In the painting, the old shaman's expression is blank. He no longer continues to talk about the "prayer" practice system he pioneered, nor does he preach his understanding of "Tao" and "Dharma".

Because it's no longer needed.

The middle-aged gentleman's bloodshot eyes stared intently at the robust figure in the oil painting, revealing a hint of helplessness and a deep sense of apprehension.

Originating from the Crimson Cloud Realm, the Dao Ancestor Wumeng was renowned among the extraterrestrial beings encountered by the many supreme beings of the Central Divine Realm. Many deities were familiar with the "Prayer Body" cultivation system, which he perfected and further developed into the seventh realm.

Because this system is highly compatible with his own Blood Law and the Supreme Law he created, he is probably among the top three in the Central Divine Realm in terms of the depth of his research on the "Prayer Body" cultivation system. Millions of years ago, he even went to the Crimson Cloud Great Realm to discuss the corresponding "Dao" and "Law" with this Supreme Dao Ancestor.

Just now, the "Wumeng Daozu" in the oil painting recounted his insights into cultivation, as well as the corresponding cultivation chapters. While other supreme deities might only notice a slight awkwardness, this blood deity understood the distorted changes in his concepts at a glance.

The middle-aged gentleman sighed inwardly, “Although the past ‘prayer’ cultivation system appeared to be just as ‘bloody’, its essence was to gather all kinds of primitive beliefs and transform them into totems as a path for self-evolution, with the purpose of ‘protection’.”

"Today, this goal has been distorted into 'protecting oneself by any means necessary.' It is not only narrow-minded, but also not tolerated by all living beings in the world. It has lost the foundation of gathering primitive beliefs and transforming them into totems, leaving only a hysterical 'draining the pond to catch all the fish.'"

"This eerie and ominous feeling is truly terrifying!"

The middle-aged man looked at the oil painting that was slowly starting to bleed, and at the "Wumeng Daozu" in the painting, whose expression was slightly blank but whose thoughts seemed to have lost their rigidity. His gaze became even more profound.

He raised his cane once more, pointed lightly at the oil painting, and began his final inquiry, "Fellow Daoist, what do the beings living within the 'Crimson Glow' Great Realm, the beings living within the Central Divine Realm, and even the beings living within the other bubble worlds mean to you?"

Within the oil painting, a sinister laugh slowly emanates, and the overflowing bloodstains gradually glow with a dark light. The old shaman within the painting reveals a ferocious yet yearning expression, as if he has lost control.

He roared, “Food and desserts, of course! They can also be offerings! They are all part of my path to the highest realm!”

Abruptly, the old shaman in the painting, filled with inexplicable longing, stares intently at the middle-aged gentleman and whispers, "Fellow Daoist, you are also...you are also a part of my path to the highest realm. I can sense that your 'Dao' and 'Dharma' are perfectly aligned with mine, merging with mine."

Before the old shaman in the painting could finish speaking, the middle-aged gentleman vanished instantly. In the next instant, three thousand supreme starlight beams carrying various purifying powers descended from the sky, completely obliterating the place where the painting was located, and annihilating the already distorted body of "Wumeng Daozu" in an instant, turning it into a bubble that sank into a chaotic ocean.

Not only that, even the earth, water, wind, and fire of this subordinate small world were scattered by the combined efforts of three thousand supreme deities. Along with the special connections between the systems, the "existence" of the "Prayer Body" cultivation system itself was completely erased, causing the countless bubble worlds floating in the chaotic ocean, and all the things and objects corresponding to them, as well as the memories of all living beings, to turn into illusions.

The middle-aged gentleman stood outside the membrane of the central divine realm, watching his memories and insights related to the "Prayer Body" cultivation system become blurred and even disappear completely, and remained silent for a moment.

He did not resist. Deleting the "existence" of the "Prayer Body" cultivation system was necessary and a necessary measure to limit the strange and ominous power of the highest level of the path. This was a conclusion reached by hundreds of supreme deities who were proficient in calculation, prophecy, divination and deduction.

As the Supreme Dao Ancestor, who incorporated the essence of that cultivation system and served as the nourishment for the progress of the supreme method he had created, it was perfectly normal for him to be somewhat affected by this terrifying "purification".

The middle-aged gentleman remained silent, feeling a slight regret about his lack of cultivation and slightly unstable state of mind. He was also somewhat troubled about how to make up for this deficiency and instability in his understanding in the future.

In such a situation, it would take a considerable amount of time to recover to peak condition, and before reaching peak condition, there would be no possibility of any progress in either cultivation level or spiritual power.

The middle-aged gentleman sighed softly, returned to the Central Divine Realm, and probed the Heavenly Law Network with a wisp of his divine soul.

Although the information he collected was unexpectedly much less, he seized the last opportunity to ask questions, which led the Dao Ancestor to give the most crucial answer.

With this final, clear reply that revealed boundless malice towards all living beings and the bubble world, it was enough for many supreme deities to confirm the strange and ominous attitudes that had suddenly appeared in the chaotic ocean.

Now, all that's left is to discuss how to wage the massive war of the future.

As expected, in the space temporarily constructed by the Heaven and Earth Law Network, all forty-eight major divine systems of the Central Divine Realm, as well as hundreds of subordinate divine systems, had arrived. Nearly eight thousand emperors stood in various places in this space, some silent, some expressing their own opinions, but without exception, they all tended to take the initiative to sweep away the strange and ominous forces.

The young man, who was playing with the cards, said in a casual tone, "I think we must first gather the supreme Dao Ancestors of the other bubble worlds, give us their research on the strange and ominous things, let them know the dangers of those things, and enable them to contribute in the future war."

"Although the Central Divine Realm has forty-eight Supreme Dao Ancestors and has accumulated faith over countless years, giving birth to nearly eight thousand Supreme Gods, this power is still too small in the face of the vast and boundless Chaotic Ocean."

The young man flicked the cards in his hand, and with a hint of seriousness on his carefree face, he said, "Over countless years, many emperors have traveled through the chaotic ocean and discovered countless bubble worlds, from which many supreme beings have been born. The data collected from the surface alone is close to ten thousand."

"With the current strength of our realm, it is not enough to sweep across the entire chaotic ocean and cleanse away all the strange and ominous things."

A supreme Dao Ancestor, clad in black martial robes and faintly marked with dark yellow Dao patterns, objected, “Card, those supreme Dao Ancestors outside are not like us. Almost none of them are willing to cultivate the ‘Ordination Method.’ They believe that this system, which has already been spread, has major hidden dangers, making it impossible for them to maintain their ‘existence,’ and they are at risk of self-disintegration at any time.” “Day after day, in their endless worry for their lives, with their hearts taut and filled with the desire to attain the highest level of enlightenment, most of the supreme beings in the Chaotic Ocean appear normal, but fundamentally, they have all gone mad.”

“Now, a path that could lead directly to the highest realm of creation, ‘the ultimate path,’ has appeared in the world. Do you think they can resist grasping the ‘hope’ before them?” He said with a slightly stiff tone and a hint of sarcasm. “I’m afraid if you slap a series of evidence in their faces, they would think it’s fake and that we are competing with them for ‘the ultimate path.’”

“Those guys who have gone completely mad at their core will only believe what they want to see. Even if an unparalleled Dao Ancestor swallowed those strange and ominous things in front of them, causing them to mutate and lose their ‘true self,’ they would most likely just think that they lacked virtue and were not destined to reach the ‘end of the road’ of this Dao.”

Holding a dark, long banner that exuded a mysterious aura of death, the Supreme Dao Ancestor, shrouded in a black robe, slowly spoke, “Indeed, I agree with Wu Hu’s opinion. Those guys are essentially madmen. They’re fine normally, but once you talk to them about ‘the end of the road to creation,’ I’m afraid they’ll be the first to start a war with us.”

"When that time comes, we will be caught off guard and may find ourselves at a disadvantage." The supreme Dao Ancestor, shrouded in black robes, gently waved the black flag in his hand, scattering strands of information that materialized into images deduced from the current information. "The future and outcome deduced by the collective efforts of all the supreme deities of my Death God System are also like this."

The young man, who was playing with the cards, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Necromancer, this is just the result of your Death God system's deduction. It may not be correct. I reserve my opinion. Informing the Supreme Dao Ancestor outside the world first will not be a bad thing."

"Moreover, the Central Divine Realm's sudden recall of so many wandering emperors may have given some supreme Dao Ancestors from beyond the realms, who are proficient in deduction, divination, and calculation, a knowledge that we will be undertaking a major operation in the future. If they have already encountered strange and ominous signs, it is not impossible that they could even deduce some information."

At this moment, Tianzhou released an image, which manifested a twisted spiritual consciousness that was "frozen".

He looked at the nearly eight thousand supreme deities and said, “I also believe that the action should be swift. This is something I brought back from the outside world, a strange and ominous thing that was ‘frozen’ by the divine power of His Majesty the Yellow Emperor. I believe that you do not need to study the original body to know that this thing originates from the instinctive consciousness of a certain bubble world. In essence, it is a distorted collection of the consciousness of all the spirits in a certain world.”

"There must be other similar twisted spiritual consciousnesses in the Chaotic Ocean that we have not yet discovered. Time does not allow us to delay any longer. The longer we wait, the more variables will occur. Do not forget the characteristics of the Chaotic Ocean. It is a probability with almost no discernible pattern."

"Perhaps in the next moment, this strange and ominous entity, devoid of intelligence yet possessing the combat power of a supreme deity, will grow to a terrifying level, moving with the chaotic tides and completely engulfing the Central Divine Realm."

Upon hearing this, the other forty-seven supreme Dao Ancestors changed their expressions slightly.

The Central Divine Realm has developed to its current state, with nearly eight thousand supreme deities and a large number of quasi-supreme beings. This is not only due to the protection of the eternal destiny of the "Central Yellow Emperor," but also to the hard work and dedication they have accumulated over countless years.

Once the Central Divine Realm is destroyed, amidst the vast, chaotic ocean and the presence of eerie and ominous crises, there will be absolutely no chance to rebuild such a supreme realm, one that possesses such great potential and can exist eternally.

This place is not only their indispensable "home," but also their only "hope" to achieve the highest goal at the end of the road.

Emperor Zhong Hao slowly stepped forward and looked at Tianzhou, asking, "Tianzhou, is this the first strange and ominous body you brought back from the Chaotic Ocean, the first one to be discovered and appear in the Chaotic Ocean?"

Tianzhou nodded, but then slowly shook his head. "Whether this is the first strange and ominous object to be discovered, I cannot be sure. It is possible that the supreme Dao Ancestors outside may have discovered these ominous things before we noticed them, but simply kept them hidden and regarded them as their own 'end of the road to creation'."

"Moreover, these strange and ominous signs not only involve the other supreme beings, but also the power of the ultimate path, making it impossible to perform such precise deductions."

Emperor Zhonghao slowly nodded. He looked at the young man whose expression had become solemn and who was no longer playing with the cards. "Cards, the pantheon you have established maintains good relations with many beings outside the realm. I will have your gods communicate with other realms later and spread our research and discoveries on the strange and ominous."

After a pause, Zhong Hao added, "In the shortest possible time, make all the beings in the Bubble World who have entered the cultivation realm have a certain understanding of the eerie and ominous."

The young man cupped his hands in greeting and began assigning tasks within his own pantheon.

Zhong Hao glanced at all the emperors present, then looked at Tianzhou and said quietly, "Once the knowledge about the strange and ominous situation has spread, we will launch a great miracle of the 'Supreme Path' level within the Central Divine Realm."

He pointed to the projected distorted spiritual consciousness, "Based on this, and following the example of deleting that cultivation system that was contaminated by the strange and ominous, let's thoroughly cleanse all the strange and ominous things that we can touch."

"Tianzhou, you will preside over this miracle, while the remaining forty-seven supreme Dao Ancestors and nearly eight thousand subordinate Emperors will assist you."

The pupils of the numerous supreme deities within this space contracted slightly at this moment, yet seemed to reveal a strange excitement beneath.

"no problem!"

"Agree!"

"good!"

"."

None of the supreme deities present objected.

They all approached this with a special, intense "enthusiasm".
