Living in the deep palace

After Su Chen's will completely overcame the chaotic causal backlash.

The complete "chain of cause and effect" behind him seemed to have undergone some kind of sublimation, and the light of "order" emanating from it became even purer and more powerful!
He slowly raised his hand and gently pressed the golden thread, which represented his own "existence," down toward the dark singularity at the top of the clock tower, the source of all chaos.

He did not try to destroy it, nor did he try to seal it away.

He simply sowed his own "order," his own "rules," and his own "way" like planting a seed, gently integrating them into that pure "chaos."

This is an incomprehensible act!

It's like trying to calm a boiling ocean with a single drop of water!

however!
A miracle happened at that moment!
When Su Chen's golden "chain of cause and effect" came into contact with the pitch-black singularity.

The singularity, which had been spinning wildly and constantly releasing paradoxical power, suddenly stopped as if a pause button had been pressed!
Next!

Centered on that golden thread, a brand new, stable "rule" full of logic and order began to slowly spread towards the entire singularity!
Just like on a piece of paper that has been scribbled all over, a skilled painter uses golden lines to outline a brand new, clear outline!
This process is extremely slow and extremely mysterious!
Su Chen could clearly feel that his immortal soul and his will seemed to have merged with the entire shattered world!
He is "fixing" the world!
Do not!
It should be said that he is "reshaping" the world!
He regards his own "Dao" as the new "Dao of Heaven" for this world!
This is an unprecedented, truly groundbreaking experience!
Su Chen's entire mind was immersed in this supreme realm of controlling cause and effect and reshaping heaven and earth!
Deep within his sea of ​​consciousness, the "Taiyi Dao Seed," which had long reached its bottleneck, began to tremble violently under the impact of this "creation" enlightenment!

The Taiyi runes flowing on it became clearer and clearer, and more and more mysterious!
At this moment, the last barrier that separated him from the realm of "Taiyi Heavenly Immortal" finally began to loosen!

boom--!!!!!!!!!!

An indescribable, ultimate realization, seemingly originating from the very beginning of the universe and transcending all laws and existence, surged wildly into his immortal soul like a sudden enlightenment!
At that moment, Su Chen felt as if he had seen the "source code" of the universe!
He understood that life and death, creation and destruction, space and time were nothing more than different "chapters" in the supreme book of the "Great Dao"!

The "Taiyi" he pursues is the one and only "general outline" that integrates all the chapters and ultimately understands the secrets of the entire book!
"I see"

"Is this the 'Celestial Realm'?"

*Snap!*

Within Su Chen's sea of ​​consciousness, the final barrier shattered with a deafening roar!
At this moment, his Taiyi Dao Seed completely transformed into a pure, immortal, and eternal nine-colored light ball!

Within the ball of light, it seemed as if a complete universe was contained!

He has finally broken through the limits of the second ineffable realm!

He stepped into that realm, which was legendary even among those at the Taiyi level—

Taiyi Celestial Immortal!
With Su Chen's breakthrough, his process of reshaping the world also accelerated dramatically!

That golden "chain of cause and effect," radiating brilliant light, instantly and completely assimilated and covered the entire pitch-black singularity!
Next!

A brand new, stable, and unquestionable "Heavenly Dao" erupted from the singularity and instantly swept across the entire shattered world!

On the street, the pedestrians who were walking backwards have returned to normal.

Rainwater, rising from the ground, fell from the sky again.

The child holding the sugar figurine, the sugar figurine in his hand, ultimately remained in a broken state. Although he was still crying, the sadness in his hand became real and linear.

The man holding his deceased wife's body, the corpse in his arms never came back to life, he was still heartbroken, but that separation of life and death had become heavy and meaningful.

In this moment, all the chaotic, broken, and contradictory causes and effects in the world were completely smoothed out and straightened out!

The world is back on track!

Although this "right track" is full of joys and sorrows, and full of birth, aging, sickness and death.

But this is what a real world should look like.

As the last chain of cause and effect was repaired, the world before our eyes began to slowly dissipate like a phantom.

Su Chen's consciousness slowly withdrew from that supreme realm of "ruling the Heavenly Dao".

After stepping from the Taiyi High Realm to the Taiyi Heavenly Immortal Realm.

There were no unusual phenomena!
There was no response from heaven or earth, nor any extraordinary event.

At this moment, Su Chen seemed to have simply taken this step in an ordinary way.

……

……

When Su Chen opened his eyes again, he was still in that simple courtyard located in the core of nothingness.

The stone table remains, the stone benches remain, and the cup of "Void Tea," long since cooled, remains the same.

It was as if the thrilling trial that had just transmigrated through time and space and reshaped cause and effect was just an illusion.

But Su Chen knew that everything was different now.

He slowly raised his hand, looking at his fair and slender palm.

His appearance remained unchanged.

But he could clearly feel that the essence of his life had undergone a tremendous transformation!

He was no longer a Taiyi Xuanxian, but a Taiyi Tianjixian who stood at the very top of the second ineffable realm of this universe!

His body no longer contained the simple Taiyi Immortal Essence, but a kind of "Heavenly Extreme Immortal Power" that contained his own "Dao"!
His immortal soul had long since merged completely with the Taiyi Dao Seed, becoming inseparable from it, transforming into an eternal and immortal "Taiyi Dao Venerable"!
He even had a feeling that as long as he had a thought, he could easily manipulate the laws of this entire city of nothingness, and even make this absolute "nothingness" work for him!
This feeling of being in control of everything, of having words that become law, gave him an unprecedented sense of power!
How strong am I now?

"I don't know."

Su Chen was somewhat eager to try.

He looked at the Lord of the Abyss before him, wanting to make a move, but the thought only flashed through his mind before vanishing without a trace.

The feeling he got from the other person was still as unfathomable as ever.

Golden Immortal Perfection?

more than.

Even the most powerful among the Golden Immortals, or even the strongest among the Golden Immortals, would not be surprised at all.

This world is vast.

Taiyi Tianji Immortal is very powerful, but not powerful enough.

"Congratulations, young friend."

The Lord of the Abyss's kind voice slowly rang out.

He looked at Su Chen, and for the first time, a genuine sense of shock and admiration appeared in his eyes, which were filled with boundless wisdom.

Even he hadn't expected that someone would actually be able to pass his three trials.

"I have been guarding this place for countless epochs and have seen countless amazing 'survivors'."

"But to be like you, who not only passed the trial but truly transcended it, giving a broken world a 'new life' is something else entirely."

"You are the first." The Lord of the Abyss's voice was filled with endless emotion.

"Senior is too kind." Su Chen stood up and respectfully bowed to this ancient being who had lived for countless years and guarded the last hope of the people of all realms. "If it weren't for your guidance, I wouldn't have been able to see through that final illusion."

"Hehe, that is ultimately your own 'path'."

The Lord of the Abyss stroked his beard and smiled. He stood up and slowly walked to the center of the courtyard.

He stretched out his withered palm and gently pressed it against the bluestone ground beneath his feet.

"Now that you have proven yourself, you are qualified and capable of possessing it."

"So, this is the 'root of the first tree' that carries the last hope of a universe."

"Today, it has been returned to its rightful owner."

Rumble—!!!!!!!!!

As the Lord of the Abyss finished speaking!
The entire courtyard, and indeed the entire city of nothingness, began to tremble violently!

A huge crack appeared in the ground!

A massive tree root, ancient and weathered, seemingly having endured billions of years of weathering, its entire body a dark gold color and its surface covered with mysterious Dao patterns, slowly rose from the depths of the earth!

The tree roots did not exude any earth-shattering power.

But it just floated there quietly, as if it were the only "reality" in this void!
It is the source of all "existence"!

It is the most fundamental manifestation of the concept of "life"!

The root of the first tree!
Su Chen looked at the ancient tree root in front of him, which resonated most strongly with the Longevity Tree in his body and his Taiyi Dao Seed. His breathing instantly became rapid!

He could clearly feel that his body and his soul were yearning for it!
"Go," the Lord of the Abyss smiled slightly. "It is waiting for you."

Su Chen no longer hesitated.

He took a step forward and arrived in front of the huge tree root.

He reached out and gently pressed his hand onto the ancient and weathered bark.

Buzz—! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

In an instant!
That enormous "root of the first tree" suddenly burst forth with an unprecedented, dazzling nine-colored radiance!

It seemed as if it had found its master who had been lost for countless epochs, and it took the initiative to transform into a stream of light and instantly merge into Su Chen's body!

boom--!!!!!!

Su Chen felt as if a primordial sun had been cast into his immortal universe at this moment!

Endless, primordial, and pure life force and the Dao of Creation surged into his limbs and bones, into his Taiyi Dao Seed, and into the nine-colored longevity tree within his body, like a dam bursting in the cosmic river!
Click! Click! Click!

His recent breakthrough to the "Taiyi Celestial Immortal" realm was propelled by this indescribably powerful primordial force.

In an instant, it was completely stabilized!
And it's still improving at an incredible speed!

In the void behind him, the phantom of the nine-colored Longevity Tree reappeared!
This time, it's no longer just a phantom!

Instead, it became incredibly solid! Incredibly dazzling!
It is like an immortal tree that is truly rooted in the origin of the universe and connects with countless worlds!
Its roots have perfectly merged with Su Chen's Taiyi Dao Seed!
Its canopy sways gently, sprinkling down countless rays of light that contain the mysteries of "creation" and "reincarnation"!

At this moment, Su Chen's cultivation, his power, and his life essence all underwent an unprecedented ultimate leap!
……

……

After an unknown amount of time, the vast fluctuations that swept through the entire city of nothingness finally subsided.

Su Chen hovered quietly in the courtyard, his eyes closed.

At this moment, his aura had been completely contained, returning to its original simplicity. He looked no different from an ordinary mortal.

But only he himself knew the earth-shattering changes that had taken place within his body.

His power is more than ten times greater than before!
He felt that he could create a small world with a single thought; and that a single finger could cause even a Golden Immortal to perish!

Of course, the Golden Immortal here is still just an ordinary Golden Immortal in the initial stage.

As for the Golden Immortal mid-stage, they are the late-stage Golden Immortals who have reached a high level of mastery. Su Chen has never encountered them before and does not know what kind of divine power they possess.

However, this is enough.

Celestial Immortal, what is a Celestial Immortal? One who crushes Golden Immortals and is thus considered a Celestial Immortal!
This is the true "Taiyi Celestial Immortal" after merging with the "Root of the First Tree"!
The absolute peak of the second ineffable realm!

"call"

Su Chen exhaled a long breath of turbid air with a faint nine-colored halo, and slowly opened his eyes.

His pale golden eyes no longer reflected the sun, moon, and stars, but rather the vast panorama of the universe's birth and death, and the cycle of all things.

"Thank you, senior, for your help."

Su Chen bowed deeply to the Lord of the Abyss once again.

This kindness is nothing short of a second life.

"Hehe, no need to thank me." The Lord of the Abyss remained as amiable as ever. "This is what you deserve. You passed the trial and proved yourself. And it has simply returned to its true master."

"Speaking of which, I should thank you."

The Lord of the Abyss looked at Su Chen, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.
"Protecting this city and these poor survivors has exhausted too much of my strength. Now that you have received its power, it also means that you will take over a part of its responsibility."

Upon hearing this, Su Chen's heart stirred: "What does Senior mean?"

"The 'devourers,' or rather, the 'door' you mentioned, exist behind it. They will soon sense the aura of the 'First Tree Root.'"

The Lord of the Abyss's voice became solemn.

"Back then, they paid a terrible price to destroy the 'World Tree.' They will never allow a second 'World Tree' to grow again."

"Therefore, young friend, your path ahead will be more perilous than ever before."

"'The root of the first tree' is both your greatest opportunity and your greatest source of trouble."

"It will be like the brightest lighthouse in the endless darkness, guiding you to find the other scattered remains of the 'World Tree'."

"But at the same time, it will also draw the attention of all the 'devourers' to you."

"are you ready?"

The Lord of the Abyss looked at Su Chen and slowly asked. (End of Chapter)
