Infinity, starting from eternity

Chapter 616 The Eighteen Stars and the Transcendent One!
Walking on the path of transcendence.

Fang Han's evaluation was undoubtedly extremely high.

Throughout the myriad realms and endless timelines, countless geniuses and overlords have risen to this level, but only a handful have reached this point.

But to go even further and truly transcend, that is extremely rare.

"Sixteen stars are on the path to transcendence, so seventeen stars are on the verge of transcendence? And eighteen stars are the realm of true transcendent beings?!" Li Ping'an still had many questions. "But even the immortality of seventeen stars is nothing more than an ant in the world behind the Gate of Immortality."

The ten realms of immortality are each a different level, with a gap even greater than that between the realms of immortals and the secret realms of gods.

But for the transcendent Fang Han, he can create the eleventh realm, the twelfth realm, and even countless realms afterward.

The gap between the sixteenth and seventeenth stars is infinitely large, and the gap between the seventeenth and eighteenth stars will only be greater, but can the eighteenth star really achieve this?

If that's true, then the so-called supposed transcendent beings in all the heavens and myriad worlds wouldn't be able to discern this ability at all.

Perhaps ancient dust and sand could help?
Or is there another reason?
Li Ping'an vaguely figured it out.

"Hahaha, you're wondering about the difference between seventeen-star, eighteen-star, and transcendent beings, right?" Fang Han laughed. "That's a good question."

What do you think the 18-star system is?

Before Li Ping'an could answer, Fang Han said directly, "It is a system created by the Main God Space, a stratification of the worldview of the myriad worlds, and a contest between transcendent beings. Strength is just its appearance."

“Long ago, the power of all the heavens and myriad worlds was far less than it is now.”

"Sixteen stars, or even lower, are enough to touch upon transcendence. As long as you seize the opportunity, you can make the ultimate leap."

"However, the strength of the myriad worlds is getting stronger and stronger, and the restrictions are also getting greater and greater, making it increasingly difficult to achieve transcendence. Now, only the Seventeen Stars have a sliver of hope."

"Walking on the path of transcendence, being on the verge of transcendence are just ways of saying it, but it's more like understanding someone like you, a sixteenth or seventeenth star."

As for those sixteen-star and seventeen-star individuals who rely on others' paths to achieve their goals, they are naturally far inferior and cannot be compared at all.

"Seventeen stars is enough?!" Li Ping'an was surprised; he thought it would take eighteen stars.

He couldn't help but press further, "What about the eighteen stars?"

Fang Han smiled faintly, "The eighteen stars are a realm and not. If we assume that the myriad worlds are a circle, the circle is a realm, the circle is thought, the circle is everything that all living beings and things exist in, then the eighteen stars are the edge of this circle."

"We stand outside the circle."

Outside the circle of the myriad realms, those who transcend can freely draw even more and larger circles, or even other bizarre shapes; realms are of no use to them.

"Are the eighteen stars the edge of a circle? The boundary of thought?" Li Ping'an gradually understood, "or even the limit of my level of understanding, or even the level of the seventeen stars?"

Or rather, those who transcend can do what they cannot even imagine, completely defying common sense; the Eighteen Stars are those who can do what they think of.

This idea is an imagination born from the Seventeen Stars Mindset, not from ordinary people.

"Clap clap clap." Fang Han clapped his hands with a faint smile. "It seems you have understood. The Eighteen Stars are not products of normal circumstances. Even for those who transcend, they need to be fought for. They have drawn the boundaries of the myriad worlds."

"In this era, there are only three eighteen-star systems."

"I'm not." Fang Han's expression showed a slight hint of regret; he hadn't managed to snatch it this time.

After transcendence, one becomes omnipotent; before transcendence, traces still remain. The structure of all realms and worlds was born from the struggles of those who have transcended. All realms, all theories, and even all living beings originate from this.

The system of the Eighteen Stars was built under their will, encompassing all the heavens and myriad realms.

The Main God Space is a covenant. Although it did not originate entirely from them, it was greatly influenced by them. That is why Li Ping'an came to the world of immortality under their will.

“Three eighteen-star formations.” Li Ping’an asked curiously, “Which three are they?”

Fang Han raised his hand and conjured up three worlds: one radiating endless holy light and containing an omniscient and omnipotent being; another world where countless spiritual powers roamed freely; and the third, the main god space familiar to Li Ping'an, though seemingly slightly different.

"So it was the three of them." Li Ping'an understood everything just by seeing them.

These three worlds respectively represent the omniscient and omnipotent God, the ancient dust above all realms, the central hub of the Heavenly Dao of all heavens and myriad worlds, and the transcendent Heavenly Dao of the former main god space.

“That’s right, those three are also transcendent beings, each with special reasons for occupying the eighteenth star position in this era. Don’t worry about them.” Fang Han nodded and casually erased the three worlds.

One wisp of aura emanated from the world and it shook Li Ping'an. He felt the aura of the real world. The world that Fang Han created at will was all real, and it even included those three transcendent beings.

Seeing his surprise, Fang Han smiled faintly, "This is another thing I wanted to talk about. The original world of the Transcendent has gathered everything, including the past, present, and future, everything known and unknown, and of course, it also includes other Transcendents."

In all the myriad realms, even the will of a transcendent being possessed by himself is no match for the Eighteen Stars, but here the Eighteen Stars are nothing more than ants.

Of course, anyone who can reach the eighteenth star on their own must be a transcendent being.

Before transcendence, one's strength may be limited, perhaps sixteen stars or seventeen stars, but after transcendence, there are no limitations. By altering cause and effect, every transcendent can reach the strongest.

Fang Han's world of eternal life can also encompass all the heavens and myriad worlds, and even create all the transcendent beings, but he still stands above all transcendent beings.

For those who transcend common sense, this is the effect of classical texts.

Since the transcendents cannot defeat the transcendents in another original world, and no one can interfere with the timelines of other transcendent worlds, the myriad worlds have become arenas, which is also what they care about most.

"So, in the outside world, there is no such thing as the Ten Realms of Immortality, or rather, there may be, but those Seventeen Stars cannot deduce that realm."

This is a miracle that only exists in the world of the Eternal Scripture. It is almost impossible to achieve in the myriad worlds, at least not in this era. Li Ping'an pondered. What Fang Han showed him was just one of the infinite powers of a transcendent being, but he already understood why the other party valued him.

Only by embarking on the path of transcendence can one truly value the path of transcendence.

If we fail, then there's nothing to mention.

Seeing Fang Han's smiling face, he changed his expression and said, "The appearance of the Dragon Talisman Six-person Group, and the cause and effect between me and them, were also created by you."

"No, that's not it." Fang Han waved his hand. "It was done by that guy Gu Chensha. He just informed me, Yang Qi, Wang Chao, Jiang Li, Hong Yi, and Zhou Qing."

"Let's see how far they can go."

Fang Han remained calm and composed, saying, "Of course, if they can defeat us from all the heavens and myriad realms, we might give them that opportunity."

"We beings from all the myriad realms have no memories of what comes after transcendence. If someone can defeat us, we will naturally grant their wish. If they cannot, then they should die."

They are all manifestations of karmic connections. If one can seize the source, one can naturally walk a different path from them. As for whether one can transcend them, that is another matter.

Unfortunately, it seems to have been a complete waste of time so far; no one has killed Fang Han and his group from all the myriad realms.

Li Ping'an also knew that Wang Chao's sole victory was due to Wang Chao's ulterior motives.

Fang Han looked at Li Ping'an and smiled slightly, "Your path to transcendence requires the opportunity of immortality and nothingness, and I am willing to grant it to you. Go and defeat Fang Han outside, and you will naturally get what you want. Don't worry about anything else."

"It would be best to beat up Yang Qi, Jiang Li, Wang Chao, Zhou Qing, and Hong Yi as well," Fang Han chuckled. "And don't let that guy Gu Chensha get away with it either."

Li Ping'an grinned, "Fang Han, you really think highly of me."

Even if it wasn't a direct confrontation with transcendence, just the myriad realms they were in, Li Ping'an felt immense pressure, but to give up?
That's impossible!
“I’ll take this commission!” Li Ping’an said decisively.

"Hahaha." Fang Han laughed loudly, it was clear that he really wanted to see this scene, especially Gu Chensha being humiliated.

"Then go." "And take him with you."

Fang Han casually grabbed, and the Creation Immortal King appeared.

At this time, the Creation Immortal King had cultivated for a period of time and had reached the cultivation level of one hundred epochs. Although he was still far from half-step immortality, his aura was many times stronger than before.

"Fang Han!" The Creation Immortal King was startled, but then relaxed. Knowing the world beyond the Gate of Immortality, he had completely understood the difference between the two.

"The Immortal King of Creation".

Fang Han smiled slightly at him, "Do you have anything to say now?"

"No," the Creation Immortal King bowed his head, "You are the only eternal father of all living beings!"

"Hahaha, it seems you're still a bit unconvinced." Fang Han understood the hidden meaning in the Creation Immortal King's words and shook his head with a laugh. "Of the countless destinies of you, only a very small fraction have stepped into the gate of immortality."

“Standing before me 1,763 times.”

The Creation Immortal King suddenly looked up and saw Fang Han's ambiguous smile. "You've chosen to retreat 1,763 times, and I've granted your wish every time. Are you still unwilling to stay behind the Gate of Immortality?"

"You can't reach your level here, can you?" The Creation Immortal King took a deep breath. He had learned a lot in the Nebula Palace and seen many immortal experts, but none of them were comparable to Fang Han's level.

It's even greater than the gap between a Celestial King and immortality!
Li Ping'an knew that this was transcendence, something that even the Creation Immortal King in the world of the Eternal Scripture had no chance of achieving.

“Of course.” Fang Han pointed at Li Ping’an. “He has a much better chance than you, but of course you’re not without a chance.”

Fang Han smiled faintly, "You can choose to go back, and you can also retain this memory behind the Gate of Immortality. However, if you retain it and learn about the Ten Realms of Immortality, your chances of transcending will be countless times smaller."

The ten realms of immortality are not tolerated by all the heavens and myriad worlds. Even if you take this path to the extreme, you will only get further and further away from transcendence.

"What will you choose, Master Bai Haichan?" Fang Han chuckled. "Here, you can at least reach the tenth realm of immortality, or even stronger, and enjoy eternal bliss."

"I am protected by the Creator; to be born without birth is better than eternal life!"

The Immortal King of Creation sat down cross-legged, and the next moment, raging flames rose from his body. All his cultivation and memories returned, and he transformed into a stream of light, rushing out of the Gate of Immortality, resolutely rejecting Fang Han.

Fang Han chuckled, "As expected, you're still the same as always, the Creation Immortal King."

If he made a different choice, he wouldn't be the Creation Immortal King he knew.

Li Pingan remained silent.

Fang Han seemed quite emotional as well, "Behind the Gate of Immortality, achieving immortality is countless times simpler than in the myriad realms; all you need to do is leave your name. But outside, you have to refine a Gate of Immortality to compete with me."

"Very few can achieve success."

The fact that there are very few people means that there are still people.

However, Fang Han didn't say much. With a wave of his hand, Li Ping'an left the Gate of Immortality. "I won't erase your memories here. I look forward to seeing you standing before me... Brother Li."

Fang Han's tone was teasing.

Li Ping'an wasn't embarrassed at all; instead, he confidently replied, "Of course!"

Transcendence! We must transcend!

Otherwise, how could he possibly have the nerve to see Fang Han again?

"boom!"

When Li Ping'an came to his senses, he was still surrounded by endless light, which came from inside the Gate of Immortality, but it was a different world. The Creation Immortal King was slashing down at him, and he had not retained any memories of his cultivation.

However, he still possesses cultivation levels spanning hundreds of epochs.

Looking out, Li Ping'an saw that behind the Gate of Immortality in the Otherworld, there were no countless immortal worlds. Instead, there was a chaotic void that evolved into various divine objects, worlds, and origins. Once one entered, there were no constraints, and one could freely improve one's cultivation.

The life-giving energy here is nearly inexhaustible compared to the outside world, with an energy level countless times higher. It can be called the origin. Once you refine and master it all, you will surely be able to advance to immortality.

The Creation Immortal King entered ahead of time, but he lost the memories of the Eternal Origin World. He had plenty of opportunities to digest the Eternal Origin here and easily reach the cultivation level of hundreds of eras.

Even now, his cultivation level is still soaring, advancing towards the 110th and 120th eras.

"Creation Immortal King, you still won't give up!"

Li Ping'an shook his head and extended a finger to block the attack of the Creation Immortal King.

"Clang!" To the astonishment of the Creation Immortal King, Li Ping'an casually flicked his wrist, sending the Creation Immortal King flying back countless light-years.

"Impossible! You entered the Gate of Immortality a step after me, how could you possibly be my match?!"

The Creation Immortal King was almost driven mad.

Li Ping'an remained calm. Even though he hadn't grasped much of the principles of the Eternal Life Scripture world, witnessing the existence of half-step immortality and the tenth realm of immortality made his understanding completely different, and his strength was many times greater than before.

"The Supreme Path to Shattering!"

He broke through in the blink of an eye, without any hindrance.

“This is the normal situation. It seems that the previous one was an exception.” Li Ping’an understood as soon as he looked around. Under normal circumstances, when entering the Gate of Immortality of the Otherworld, this is what he would see. He would not see the era of immortality for all living beings.

To achieve immortality, one must refine these sources of immortality before Fang Han does, and then completely control the Gate of Immortality. This will allow one to ascend to the Seventeenth Star.

However, this was unsolvable for the Creation Immortal King. He was not the reincarnation of the spirit of the Gate of Immortality, nor was he like Hua Tiandu, the reincarnation of a malignant tumor, nor did he possess special privileges like Fang Han.

He needs countless epochs to refine the origin of immortality, but Li Ping'an will never give him that chance.

"Creation Immortal King, you have lost!"

"You can surrender now. I'll give you one last chance," Li Ping'an said condescendingly, out of respect for Fang Han.

"Delusion!" The Creation Immortal King gritted his teeth and fled deeper into the Gate of Immortality, simultaneously triggering Bai Haichan's karma.

"Boom!"

The Gate of Immortality outside trembled violently, light and darkness intertwined, and a crack appeared on the ancient and unchanging gate, allowing terrifying auras from beyond the chaos to rush in, and the emergence of great wills.

"The gate to immortality has finally opened!"

"Good! Very good! Fang Han has not let us down!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Refine the Gate of Immortality! Prove the Dao of Immortality!"

Each being was at least sixteen stars, half a step towards seventeen stars, and there were even great beings with seventeen stars, who greedily gazed into the Gate of Eternal Life, making all the beings inside tremble with fear.

"what happened?!"

The Holy King of the End looked out at the sky in shock, his brows furrowed.
