After the myth

Chapter 1023 Eternal Life
As the principles of creation within Ding Huan's universe became increasingly refined, Ding Huan's aura grew ever more powerful.

At this moment, even Di He stopped his seclusion and looked at Ding Huan nervously.

He could sense that Ding Huan's Dao was changing.

Di He thought this was the limit, but Ding Huan's aura of the Great Dao changed again.

Dihe seemed to sense the opening and birth of the vast universe. This earth-shattering change in the origin of the Great Dao made Dihe's eyes red with excitement.

Those are the origins of the laws that created the universe, the profound mysteries of the great Dao that opened up the cosmos.

The reason he felt that his understanding of the Great Dao was difficult to advance was because he had reached the ultimate level of understanding of the Great Dao.

This primordial principle that created the world gave him a sudden enlightenment.

This is the way out for him.

Even the other five people who were relatively far away from Ding Huan and Di He could still sense the changes in the spatial laws on Ding Huan's side.

Tantai Zhilan was the first to rush out of the secluded cave. She stared blankly at the place where Ding Huan was in seclusion, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

Then the other four rushed out.

No one spoke; all five people remained extremely silent.

Although the space where Ding Huan was in seclusion was blocked by protective arrays and barriers, they could still vaguely feel the aura of the Great Dao of Creation that resonated deep within their souls.

They recalled what happened back then. Many years ago, when those two people came here, they also exhibited the same aura of the Great Dao that signifies the opening of a vast universe.

After the two emerged from seclusion, they rushed directly into the Endless Void Canyon, then forcibly broke free from the vortex pull deep within the Endless Void and rushed to the location of the Creation Dao Principle.

After that, there was no further news about those two people.

Today, the same thing happened again.

Time slowly passed, but none of the five people on Tantai Zhilan's side had the mind to go into seclusion anymore.

The group of people stared intently at the place where Ding Huan was in seclusion.

Although the barrier Ding Huan set up concealed the aura of Ding Huan's Great Dao, the vast and boundless Daoist essence of the origin of the universe was something that the barrier could not block at all.

The primordial aura emanating from the barrier still compels them to try and comprehend it.

Everyone remained silent, hoping to perceive their own Great Dao from the Daoist rhythm of the universe's origin.

It's unclear how much time passed, but the vast and boundless aura of creation surrounding Ding Huan gradually dissipated.

When Ding Huan derived the first principle of creation in his universe, his world began to undergo earth-shattering changes.

Ding Huan still did not open his eyes. As he evolved and constructed the first Creation Law, the Primordial Law Star River also evolved the first Primordial Law.

His universe seemed to have a foundation, no longer relying solely on his physical body and Daoist thoughts as before.

Even if he perishes at this moment, his universe will still exist...

No, it should be said that as long as his universe exists, he will not perish.

This must be immortality, right?
Ding Huan was filled with excitement. Perhaps this was the moment he had been pursuing since he embarked on his cultivation journey.

Today, he finally did it.

A 'heh heh' sound broke the silence of the space and startled Ding Huan, who was still marveling at his accomplishments in the Great Dao.

Under Ding Huan's will, a gray wolf stood on a boulder and made a howl that had nothing to do with a wolf.

Ding Huan frowned as he stared at the gray wolf.

Life existed in his world long ago; it seems that the earliest being was a fish, followed by insects and birds.

Even if some life forms have developed intelligence, none are quite like this gray wolf.

The cry carried a chilling quality, along with a faint hint of malevolence.

"From this day forward, this world belongs to me, Wolf One, as king, hehehe..."

The Azure Wolf exuded a powerful aura and uttered his declaration of kingship.

Each word uttered was like a blade slicing through a raging torrent, tearing everything in its path apart.

This is the first great demon in his world to attain enlightenment after he developed the Dao of Creation.

Seeing that the wolf was still spewing out blades and tearing apart mountain peaks, Ding Huan raised his hand and slapped it down without hesitation.

The wolf seemed to sense something, and it was stunned when it saw a huge handprint slam down from the void.

"Pfft!" Under Ding Huan's handprint, the Azure Wolf vanished into nothingness.

Ding Huan absolutely would not allow such trash to exist in his universe.

However, Ding Huan seemed to quickly understand something, and his hand froze in mid-air.

The wolf wanted to dominate everything in his world, and he could kill it with a flick of his wrist.

What about him?

The same handprint that reached out from the chaotic center of the world of gods almost killed him back then.

Ding Huan's divine sense subconsciously landed in the endless void outside, where the void vortex was still there.

Ding Huan shuddered and realized what was happening.

He is still in danger.

Setting aside all other thoughts, Ding Huan once again refined his principles of creation.

The endless primordial energy of heaven and earth was drawn from Ding Huan's Dao Meridian, and Ding Huan's aura grew stronger and stronger.

Moreover, the more than one hundred Dao veins that Ding Huan placed in his Great Dao World were also being frantically drained of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

It's because his world now also needs a lot of vital energy.

"Crack!"

The barrier Ding Huan had set up could no longer contain his powerful aura of the Great Dao and collapsed completely. Ding Huan awoke with a start, and under the Great Cosmic Technique, his aura of the Great Dao instantly receded.

The Great Dao Universe seems to be in its infancy, yet it has already taken shape.

The starry sky and void in the universe have begun to evolve on their own, and Ding Huan no longer needs to evolve them.

At the center of the chaotic sea of ​​laws in the main world, the principle of creation had long since merged with its own world.

Lines of laws, like dazzling galaxies, formed and circled around the outer edge of the chaotic sea of ​​laws in the main world.

The planets outside the main world are based on these laws of the starry sky, from which the laws of all things have evolved and the rules of heaven and earth have been condensed.

Before he condensed the Dao of Creation, his universe still contained countless planets.

The difference is that these planets previously lacked the laws governing life and could not evolve the laws governing all things, thus preventing the birth of life.

It is different now.

Because of the emergence of the Creation Principles, these cosmic planets can now rely on the Creation Principles of the main world to evolve the laws of all things and condense the rules of heaven and earth.

The emergence of life was only a matter of time.

Perhaps my own world is equivalent to this vast world of gods?
In his Great Dao Universe, the planets closer to his main world in the vast starry sky have more advanced rules of heaven and earth, while the planets farther away have more advanced rules of heaven and earth.

Although the vast and boundless aura of the Great Dao surrounding Ding Huan had long since dissipated, Ding Huan was still immersed in his own universe.

He was thinking about a question.

Many years from now, will life at various levels emerge on countless planets in my universe?

Then is there another being, just like him, striving to find the main world they inhabit?
That life wants to break free from its world, to escape from it?

Would he allow such a thing to happen?
That arrogant gray wolf from before is a prime example.

Also, will his universe also experience a great calamity in the future?

As long as he exists, how could he possibly allow a calamity to occur in his own universe?

Ding Huan felt his mind was in complete chaos, and the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.

"Brother Ding Huan, Brother Ding..."

Dihe's constant shouts woke Ding Huan.

Ding Huan shuddered, realizing that he had been lost in thought, contemplating unrealistic things.

"Are you alright?" Seeing that Ding Huan had come to her senses, Di He asked with some concern.

Ding Huan tore apart his barrier, but there were still five guys outside eyeing him menacingly. He was truly afraid to be alone.

"I'm fine," Ding Huan breathed a sigh of relief.

"How is it?" Di He asked anxiously.

Ding Huan nodded; he had already stepped into the seventh step of the Great Dao.

After stepping into the seventh step of the Great Dao, he was not excited about the surge in his Great Dao strength and his understanding of the Great Dao like others. Instead, he almost fell into a paradox of the Great Dao.

"That's good." Di He was also happy to see Ding Huan nod.

"Let's go." Ding Huan felt that staying here any longer would be torture.

He must cross this void canyon as quickly as possible and then seize the Creation Dao Principle.

It's best to leave this place as soon as possible.

It doesn't mean that just because he has created his own laws of creation, he no longer needs the laws of creation here.

He still needs to create new laws, because his Tribulation-Breaking Blade is now a supreme treasure of creation.

If one integrates a principle of creation, can one immediately advance to the level of a post-chaos treasure?

Even if the Tribulation-Breaking Blade cannot be upgraded using the Creation Dao Principle, this Creation Dao Principle can still be sold for a large number of top-grade Dao veins.

He desperately needs a top-grade Dao vein.

Therefore, he was determined to seize this principle of creation.

Even if he himself could recreate the Dao of Creation, he would still try to seize it.

This time, in order to evolve the Dao of Creation and step into the seventh step of the Great Dao, his Dao veins were once again completely exhausted.

Moreover, Ding Huan was well aware that he was not well prepared this time because his Dao Meridian was insufficient.

Let alone more than a hundred top-grade Dao veins, even a thousand top-grade Dao veins would probably not be enough.

Because his Dao veins were insufficient, his advancement during this seclusion was not actually fully completed.

We can tell from the magical treasures that evolved from his chaotic sea of ​​laws.

If there were enough Dao veins, the Dao City in the Chaos Law Sea should have been fully formed, and it would be a Chaos Treasure.

Now we're just one step away.

To evolve a Dao principle of creation, it is not enough to just have one's own Dao principle; one also needs hundreds or thousands of top-grade Dao veins.

He developed a principle of creation, forcibly stepping into the seventh step, almost exhausting his own reserves.

"Fang Congqi greets fellow Daoist." Upon seeing Ding Huan bring Di He out, Fang Congqi was the first to come over and greet him.

After Fang Congqi, Tantai Zhilan and the others all offered their greetings.

They could all see that Ding Huan had advanced here, just like the two people before him.

As for what stage Ding Huan is at in the Great Dao, they cannot tell.

However, in their eyes, Ding Huan was at least above the eighth step of the Great Dao.

(Good night, fellow Taoists!)
