Immortal Power

If they make good use of this vast network and this connection, it will be as if hundreds of millions of people are using a single, complete, supreme treasure.

Unfortunately, this is impossible. They are in competition with each other, each wanting to collect all the jade disc fragments and recreate the complete Dao Jin Supreme Treasure.

They simply lacked the foundation for open communication and cooperation.

If they can truly cooperate with one heart and one mind, and with the combined power of billions of fragments, it would be equivalent to having a true treasure above the Dao's limit in their hands, and there is indeed hope that a new being above the Dao's limit will emerge.

But this hope is no different from having none at all.

The billions of fragment holders, instead of having any intention to cooperate, simultaneously developed the desire to seize the fragments the moment they learned about them.

No one will hand over the fragments they hold.

After all, they had a deep understanding of the mysteries of the jade disc fragments, and it was with the help of the jade disc fragments that they rose all the way up and achieved the transcendent realm.

Now, faced with jade disc fragments from other eras, and with fragment holders from other eras, no one can resist this temptation.

Even though obtaining those fragments would be incredibly difficult, or even nearly impossible, in other eras, no one gave up hope.

The connection between the billions of fragments did not lead to cooperation among their holders; instead, it became the very reason that spurred their cultivation.

After learning that there were billions of other fragment holders like themselves in other eras, everyone felt a sense of urgency.

They knew that if even one person among billions possessed the ability to traverse different eras and had the power to travel to other eras, then the struggle for the jade disc fragments would be over.

Seeing the thoughts of the billions of fragment holders, Zhang Qian nodded silently; their reactions were not unexpected.

"The holders of the billions of fragments are wary of each other and regard each other as enemies, but this hostility will lessen over time as they understand the difficulty of traversing eras."

Once their animosity dissipates, through the connections between the jade disc fragments, these billions of people will surely form alliances, win each other over, and split into countless factions.

They will then take advantage of the unique nature of the jade disc fragments to exchange them with fragment holders from other eras.

They might even join forces, combining the jade disc fragments they each possessed to unify the mysteries of these fragments and collectively deduce even more profound and terrifying supernatural powers and techniques.

Zhang Qian saw it very clearly, and he was certain that as time went by, the owner of these billions of fragments would definitely do the same.

And that was indeed the case. In the beginning, when the holders of the billions of fragments learned that there were so many of their kind in other eras, they immediately felt boundless hostility.

But when they began to cultivate in the primordial nothingness, learned about the many realms within the primordial nothingness, and understood how to gradually achieve the supreme realm of the Dao, as well as the four alternative paths to enlightenment, and the unattainable realm beyond the Dao's end, everyone's thoughts changed.

The existence of beings above the Dao Limit, in particular, captivated them, making them yearn to reach that level immediately.

They all possessed fragments of the jade disc, and thanks to the profound mysteries of these fragments, they continued to break through at an astonishing speed even after entering the Primordial Realm.

With the help of the fragments' immense power, they rapidly comprehended the profound mysteries of the primordial nothingness, and after comprehending these mysteries, they all achieved the status of Supreme Beings.

Having attained the ultimate Dao, one has reached the end of the primordial nothingness and can then step out of the primordial nothingness to explore the endless primordial land outside.

However, these fragment holders did not rush into the Origin Land, because after they achieved the Dao-Extreme, they also learned about the subsequent path of cultivation.

There are four alternative paths to enlightenment, and only by severing all conceptual constraints can one achieve the ultimate enlightenment. Such demanding paths gradually lead them to despair.

Even with fragments in hand, their speed of comprehending alternative methods of attaining enlightenment is extremely slow.

When faced with difficulties and unable to make breakthroughs as quickly as before, these people's mindsets began to change. They gradually progressed from Transcendent Beings to the Supreme Dao Realm, a journey that, despite the assistance of jade disc fragments, still took an extremely long time.

As time passed, they came to realize that it was virtually impossible to transcend the barriers of time and travel to other eras.

Because of this impossibility, their hostility towards fragment holders from other eras was much less, or even completely dissipated.

Without hostility or obstruction, they tried to contact their kind in other eras through the jade disc fragments, attempting to win over other kindred spirits and use the jade disc fragments in their hands to deduce the future.

Soon, under Zhang Qian's watchful eye, the connections between the holders of the billions of fragments became incredibly frequent.

They communicated across different eras, creating quite a lively scene. Zhang Qian witnessed all of their interactions.

After all, he was the one who created those countless jade disc fragments, and Zhang Qian could clearly see that these people used the jade disc fragments to communicate.

"Just as I expected, they have started to form alliances. Although it is almost impossible to overcome the barriers of time, they all know that the power of the billions of jade disc fragments can at most cultivate one Dao-level expert, and no more."

The most crucial point is who gets that qualification, who stands out from millions of people.

To obtain this qualification, they schemed against each other to the extreme, despite living in different eras. Their cunning and scheming were so astonishing that even Zhang Qian was amazed.

"Could it be because I created the jade disc fragments that they have all been influenced by me? Why are they all so cunning?"

Zhang Qian discovered that over the long years, all the holders of these fragments had become insidious and vicious, full of cunning and treacherous schemes, and deeply versed in the principles of cunning and deceit.

Zhang Qian looked at them as if he were looking at his own clones.

Perhaps it was because they had been in contact with the jade disc fragments for so long that they were influenced and subtly began to develop in the direction of Zhang Qian.

As someone above the Dao Realm, Zhang Qian has a higher perspective. From his point of view, the holders of these billions of fragments frequently contact and communicate with each other.

Their communication created connections across the billions of years, leading to mutual influence and impact.

However, this effect is currently extremely minor, and due to the existence of the power of interception, countless possibilities have arisen over countless eras.

This mutual influence across eras can also be categorized into countless possibilities and regarded as the influence of the power of interception.

The Primordial Supreme did not notice anything unusual. After the billions of fragment holders achieved the Dao Exhaustion Supreme, they stood at a higher level, and there was also the deduction from the jade disc fragments.

They soon learned that this era of billions had a pioneer.

After all, the simultaneous existence and parallel progress of billions of eras is itself extremely strange.

They were all extremely shrewd individuals, and with Zhang Qian secretly pushing them behind the scenes, they all became aware of the existence of the Origin Supreme, the ruler of the Origin Land.

Knowing some information about the Primordial Supreme, all fragment holders automatically stood on the opposite side of the Primordial Supreme.

They knew very well that if they wanted to achieve the pinnacle of Dao, they had to pass the test of the Primordial Supreme.

Without surpassing the Origin Supreme, achieving the pinnacle of the Dao is merely wishful thinking.

Standing in opposition to the Primordial Supreme, they instinctively concealed their strength, just like Zhang Qian had done before. (End of Chapter)
