Chapter 767 Dawn (Part 2)

The giant laughed and said, "It seems you don't know yet, which is normal. The Supreme Realm is the end point of cultivation in a universe, and the paths to the Supreme Realm in different universes are vastly different. Some people have already reached the Supreme Realm but are completely unaware of it, because even though the multiverse is vast and endless and countless, it is often not possible to give birth to a Supreme Being in thousands of universes. And within our current exploratory range, there are very few Supreme Beings."

Lu Chenzhou was puzzled.

No, where did the Star-Picking Tower take him?
In his eyes, the person before him was even more terrifying than a witch, and was suspected to be a supreme being.

Judging from his tone, there is more than one supreme being in this palace.

He knew that there was something wrong with the Star-Picking Tower; it wasn't just something created by the War Emperor.

Moreover, he felt that this fire giant looked familiar, as if he had seen it in the historical records of the stars, but he was not sure.

After a moment's thought, Lu Chenzhou tentatively asked, "Are you the [Fire King], a supreme expert who once followed the Primordial Ancestor?"

The fire giant was slightly taken aback, then chuckled, "Young friend, how did you know? By the way, what's your name?"

Lu Chenzhou said, "My name is Lu Chenzhou. I unintentionally traveled to the universe where you were born and cultivated there for a thousand years."

The fire giant laughed, "It seems that even after countless years, my reputation will still be known to all."

Lu Chenzhou thought to himself, "Actually, not many people remember this anymore."

If he hadn't studied it so deeply and searched for it deliberately, many legends wouldn't have known about the Fire King.

"Senior, where is this place?" Lu Chenzhou asked.

"This is Baiyujing," the fire giant said.

"Baiyujing?" Lu Chenzhou had never heard of it before.

"After the progenitor left the Starry Universe, he established this organization in the endless chaos, and currently more than thirty supreme powerhouses have joined."

"More than thirty?" Lu Chenzhou was shocked.

"Is that many? My home universe alone has given birth to twelve Supreme Beings, and the universe cluster radiated by Baiyujing covers 109,000 universes. On average, only one Supreme Being is born for every few thousand universes," said the Fire King.

"Supreme beings are already the pinnacle of cultivation in the universe, right? With so many Supreme beings gathered together, could they possibly have some other mission?" Lu Chenzhou wondered.

"In fact, the Supreme is not only the pinnacle of cultivation in the universe, but also basically the pinnacle in the endless chaos. Our organization has so many Supremes, most of whom travel through the multiverse, but unfortunately, we have not discovered any realms above the Supreme," the Fire King said with a hint of helplessness.

"What about Yuanzu? Wasn't he able to crush many established supreme beings?" Lu Chenzhou said.

"It seems you are quite knowledgeable about the history of our universe. Indeed, the Primordial Ancestor is no longer the Supreme, but can be called 'Supreme.' What we usually refer to as 'Supreme' actually refers to two realms, but apart from the Primordial Ancestor, no one else has reached this realm so far. Cultivators in the multiverse are divided into two types: the Primordial Ancestor and others." The Fire King sighed, "However, being Supreme is enough. Reaching this realm, one can roam freely in the endless chaos, fight and kill others. There may be wins and losses, but there will be no fear of death. As long as one does not provoke the Primordial Ancestor, even if the Supremes fight each other for billions of years, no one can kill the other. The Supreme transcends the river of time, does not enter the cycle of the universe, and has an eternal lifespan. I am here waiting for the new Supreme. In the time it takes to take a nap, 36,000 years have passed in the Land of Stars. Time has no meaning for us."

Lu Chenzhou was deeply shocked.

So, the Primordial Ancestor is not the Supreme Being, but a unique and unparalleled realm.

"Is the ancestor here?" he asked.

“No, not long after Yuanzu founded Baiyujing, he ventured into the deeper reaches of the Endless Chaos. He wanted to open up a mature cultivation path in the Endless Chaos. We members have not seen Yuanzu for a long time. We can only see him when he wants to appear,” said the Fire King.

"Why did you say I am supreme? I have not yet transcended the universe. In fact, our universe is about to perish."

Lu Chenzhou said somewhat helplessly, "There are only three years left, and I really have no idea what to expect."

"Anyway, the Primordial Ancestor said that those who can leave behind the Supreme Gate in the various universes through him are the Supreme. We don't know the specifics of how it's divided. The Supreme Realm is the end of cultivation. There are all sorts of ways to achieve the Supreme Realm. In short, the Primordial Ancestor is right." The King laughed.

“The Gate of the Supreme…” Lu Chenzhou murmured.

"I just took a look. The Supreme Gate of your universe is in that so-called [Heavenly Battle Tower]. It was created by the War Emperor. It's a pity, really. This War Emperor was no ordinary person. He seemed to have the potential to become a supreme being... It's just a pity that he was born at the wrong time. He was born too early, so your universe is too young to support a supreme being. Therefore, it is not easy for a supreme being to be born in a multiverse." The King sighed.

Lu Chenzhou suddenly realized that, in a certain sense, the Star-Picking Tower could not be considered as being created by the War Emperor.

Humans cannot understand things beyond the limits of their own cognition, let alone create them.

At the same time, Lu Chenzhou was calculating in his mind.

The four emperors collectively proposed three theories.

Achieving sainthood through the body, through the mind, and through skill.

He has only achieved spiritual sainthood so far, but in the ancestor's opinion, he is already considered a supreme powerhouse.

The reason he is not supreme is not his problem, but a problem of the universe.

He was still somewhat ahead of his time, so even though he possessed a supreme realm, the universe was too young, so it didn't feel that strong.

The king then explained to him, “You can think of the relationship between the Supreme Being and the universe as that of a chick and its offspring. Those that hatch normally are the Supreme Beings, but some chicks are born with problems and are immature, so the Supreme Beings they achieve will have different initial combat power than the Supreme Beings of other universes. However, it’s not a big problem. Once you hatch, it means you have completely broken free from the shell. Your future path is up to you. You can make up for it later through nutrition. You just need time to accumulate strength, and then you will be no different from us Supreme Beings.”

After hearing all this, Lu Chenzhou finally understood just how incredibly prestigious the title of the Four Emperors truly was.

They actually put forward three theories that led to the highest achievement.

Unfortunately, they were too advanced, so much so that despite their extremely advanced theories, they couldn't even reach the tenth realm, let alone the highest.

He achieved his supreme status by "borrowing a shell to incubate" and taking a shortcut through the cosmos.

"Simply achieving sainthood through the mind is the highest level. If I also achieve sainthood through the body and skills, my combat power will certainly not be weaker than these veteran supreme beings."

Lu Chenzhou felt a sense of anticipation.

The path he chose was the right one.

Unfortunately, he now has to solve the problem at hand.

"Senior, I would like to ask, if the will of a universe has been detonated and is now being destroyed, is there any way to resolve this?" Lu Chenzhou asked.

As an observer, the Fire King naturally noticed the situation in the universe and said, "Yes."

"Please enlighten me, senior," Lu Chenzhou said sincerely.

The Fire King did not hold back, but said:

"The first method is to take over the universe with the supreme will, transforming into the three thousand Great Daos, which can save you from crisis, but the price is that you will be trapped in a universe forever, sleeping in it, and in a certain sense, you can no longer be called a human being."

The second method is to find a newly formed universe, extract its will, and inject it into your universe. However, this goes against the natural order and is essentially robbing Peter to pay Paul. But since these are all supreme beings, as long as you can live with yourself, it's fine. And since life hasn't yet been born in the new universe, it doesn't count as killing or committing a sin. However, neither method is guaranteed to succeed.

Of course, there is another way: one can take a portion of those with cultivation levels above the ninth realm and escape to another universe. The Four Chaotic Gods did just that; they led demigods to your universe, and then there they gave birth to demons and monsters.

Lu Chenzhou asked, "What about below the ninth realm?"

“Give up. Without the Ninth Realm, it’s impossible to adapt to the new universe rules in a short time. You’re doomed,” the Fire King said calmly.

Lu Chenzhou was deep in thought.

He had also considered the first option.

The second one is similar to what the shaman said.

The third option is definitely not going to work.

He has too many relatives and friends, and too many things he cares about, all of which will be buried with the universe.

After thinking it over, I still think the second option is the most reliable.

The first possibility is that there is no suitable candidate other than him.

He wasn't some selfless saint who didn't want to sacrifice himself.

He also wanted to stay with his family, watch Lu Qianfan get married, and then venture into the endless chaos to pursue the ultimate truth of cultivation.

"Can I use the Time Travel Path to go back in time?" Lu Chenzhou asked.

"Time is just one of the rules of the universe. Its operation is predicated on the universe being normal. Now that the universe is about to be destroyed, it is naturally useless."

"I understand, thank you for informing me, senior." Lu Chenzhou turned and left.

"Once you've finished dealing with matters in your hometown, you can come to us and we can work together to explore the next steps in your cultivation," said the Fire King.

The significance of Baiyujing's establishment lies precisely in this.

Every supreme being, in the endless chaos, is a solitary blue whale.

They are as lonely as snow, and the higher they climb, the colder it gets; everything loses its meaning.

Some play the game of the mortal world, while others remain confined to the mundane, engaging in childish games of power struggles and revenge, like the Empress Dowager.

More often, however, they pursue the ultimate path of spiritual cultivation.

But apart from the perfect combination of timing and location that made the original creator impossible to replicate, no one else could do it.

In fact, the Primordial Ancestor did not believe that the Supreme Realm was the end of cultivation, so he sought a way out in the endless chaos.

"Interesting. Such a young universe has given birth to a supreme being. It defies common sense."

A knight clad in crimson armor, his breath like a fire dragon, strode heavily towards Lu Chenzhou, gazing at his retreating figure.

"Fire Dragon Knight, you've actually returned?" The Fire King looked at the newcomer.

"I was so bored that I came back to visit. I heard that a remarkable genius named Aaron has emerged in the Central Continent in recent years," said the Fire Dragon Knight.

"This is the man from just now. He was accidentally sent to our universe," the king said with a smile.

"No wonder, he's also a person of great fortune, perhaps he has the potential to approach the realm of the Primordial Ancestor," the Fire Dragon Knight said.

His surprise stemmed from the fact that Lu Chenzhou and the universe he inhabited were completely disconnected.

Like the Starry Universe, it is an extremely ancient universe, where supreme beings were born very early on.

Here, achieving the highest level is not unusual, which is why the fortune of heaven and earth can gather to give birth to an unparalleled primordial ancestor.

The universe is so ordinary; it is only because of Lu Chenzhou's appearance that it seems incredible.

"It's a pity, we can't interfere arbitrarily. I wonder if this little guy can save his homeland," said the Fire King.

"No problem," the Fire Dragon Knight said, and then left.

The White Jade Capital is usually deserted, except for the guides who take turns on duty.

All the supreme beings are out there venturing out.

Lu Chenzhou walked out of the Star-Picking Tower.

He looked up and thought, "I never imagined that reaching the ten thousandth floor of the Star-Picking Tower would mean transcendence."

The Star-Picking Tower, with its ten thousand floors, is the gateway to endless chaos.

In an instant, he arrived at the Ancient Road of Transformation.

The phantom of the Three-Zhang Dragon Emperor appeared and said, "I heard that Si Chen detonated the universe?"

“Yes, I’m thinking of a way. I need to leave for a while, but before that, I need to get rid of the Dark Mother,” Lu Chenzhou said.

"Mingmu was suppressed in the deepest part of the ancient road," said the Three-Zhang Dragon Emperor.

Lu Chenzhou moved forward, the gravity of the ancient road feeling like a gentle breeze to him.

In the Ninth District, Lu Chenzhou saw the true form of the Mother of Darkness.

Its entire body was a deep reddish-gold color, its shape was like a mountain, and it carried the familiar insect stench of the Nester civilization.

With a gentle palm strike, Lu Chenzhou killed Ming's mother, eliminating this potential threat.

As usual, he used the Martial Arts Tree to absorb the soul of the Mother of the Netherworld, and then a look of excited joy appeared on his face.

"I've searched high and low without finding it, but it came to me effortlessly. I'm saved."

This Mother of Darkness is essentially an external incarnation of the Queen Insect.

During the chaos of the ancient gods in the star system, the Queen of Insects sent the Dark Mother into the stars to observe in the shadows, where she parasitized a demigod.

Later, the sorcerer was defeated and led the gods to secretly cross over into the vast universe through a mirage.
The Mother of Darkness followed, and broke free from the control of the Queen of Insects. Taking advantage of the war between the Divine Court and the Evil God, she stirred up trouble and devoured the strong to grow stronger.

Ultimately, the mother of the demon was suppressed.

But in the memories of the mother of the dead, there are many things about the queen insect.

As a veteran supreme powerhouse, the Queen Insect was knowledgeable and experienced, and the sheer amount of knowledge she possessed left Lu Chenzhou speechless.

Among these are the coordinates of information about the nascent universe, and there are many of them.

This saves Lu Chenzhou the time of searching slowly on his own.

All we need to do is find a suitable new universe within three years of the larger universe.

With this thought in mind, Lu Chenzhou transcended the vast universe using the Wuji Dao and arrived in the endless chaos.

Looking back at the vast universe, only one-third of it remains, having already burned away.

Even at the edge of the starry sky in the Summer Realm, annihilation is imminent.

"We have to hurry."

Lu Chenzhou transformed into a streak of light, riding the chaotic winds and traversing through the void.

This was also the first time he had experienced the chaotic landscape up close.

There is no matter here, only a chaotic storm sweeping through.

Within the eye of some storms, a pure white star can be seen being conceived.

“This is the starting point of a universe, the primordial singularity,” Lu Chenzhou murmured.

Only after a pure white star explodes will it eject matter, thus forming the prototype of a universe.

Then, the laws of matter or the Great Dao evolved, and life was born.

However, these pure white stars are too young, and have not even given birth to a cosmic will.

If we want to find a new will for the universe, it must be one that has already evolved into the Great Dao.

After traveling for some time, Lu Chenzhou did not encounter any living beings.

Except for the Supreme Being, no living being can traverse the endless chaos.

In the endless chaos, there are no conditions for the propagation of life.

However, the endless chaos is too vast, and the Baiyujing organization has only explored a small part of it, not knowing the whole picture.

Perhaps, some strange creatures might be born from endless chaos.

Two and a half years into the timeline of the Great Universe, Lu Chenzhou finally found a new universe in the Chaotic Ocean.

Its size is only one-third of the vast universe, and the evolution of the Great Dao is basically complete.

Some primitive creatures have even been conceived and born within it.

Although they are of low intelligence, in the distant future, they may be a group of innate gods and demons, or they may even be able to give rise to a brilliant civilization.

Before taking action, Lu Chenzhou suddenly remembered the words the Witch Master had spoken before his death.

"When you reach the point of utter despair, I believe you will feel the same way I do."

He suppressed his distracting thoughts, and a giant golden tree appeared behind him, his mental fluctuations sweeping across the universe before him.

He could sense the instinctive fear of the cosmic will of this place.

He ventured deep into the core of the universe and found a pure white star, on whose surface a grotesque, beastly face vaguely appeared.

The primal resistance of this universe transformed into waves that swept across Lu Chenzhou.

With his cultivation level, he could almost ignore these attacks.

The universe itself is not capable of resisting.

In the end, Lu Chenzhou used his powerful mental strength to pluck the pure white star.

The nascent universe beneath our feet is collapsing, and those primordial beings are being annihilated along with it.

The journey back will be quick.

Lu Chenzhou rode at breakneck speed, almost burning himself out, traversing through endless chaos.

When they arrived, the universe was only one-fifth the size it used to be.

The starry sky of the summer realm resembles shattered pieces of deep blue porcelain.

After a series of catastrophes, all living beings in the universe, except for the world within his body, had perished.

Lu Chenzhou arrived at the battlefield where he fought against the witch, holding up a pure white star in his palm.

In every universe, there exists a will.

Whether the cosmic will he sought was compatible with the greater universe was unknown, but he had no choice.

Rumble! The universe is still collapsing and disintegrating, and there seems to be no improvement.

This made Lu Chenzhou frown deeply, unsure of which step he had taken wrong.

He recalled the words of the Fire King, perhaps he was just unlucky, and this fusion had failed.

Lu Chenzhou, a man of great fortune, had been blessed with perfect luck all along, but at the most crucial moment, he faltered.

Inside the inner world, the high-ranking members of the Tianxia civilization, and all living beings, all gazed at the white-robed figure outside who was holding up the pure white stars.

His face was weary, his eyes anxious; the fate of millions of lives rested on this man's shoulders.

Everyone knows that Alliance Leader Lu has done his best.

"Perhaps, this is our fate."

"In a multiverse, universes are created and destroyed every day. Thinking about this makes me feel a little better."

"Sigh, I really don't want to die. I'll see the light at the end of the tunnel soon."

At this moment, countless thoughts intertwined among all living beings.

“Sinking Boat, if all else fails, leave before the Great Universe is completely destroyed,” the Dragon King said. “With your talent, reaching the Supreme Realm is definitely not a problem, and even catching up with the Primordial Ancestor is not impossible… When you are strong enough, you can create another universe and replicate us.”

"Is what we've replicated still you?" Lu Chenzhou asked.

With his mental power, he could conjure up a new Jade Pool Immortal out of thin air.

But those memories, the imprints of this life, cannot be replicated.

"But you have done your best." The Dragon King gazed at the vast universe that was still being annihilated.

"I still have a way, everyone, don't worry, don't worry..." Lu Chenzhou murmured, his eyes bloodshot.

After the battle between heaven and man, he looked at his relatives and friends, his sect, and countless fellow Daoists who had come along the way in his inner world.

"I still have a way. There hasn't been anything I couldn't solve along the way, right?" he laughed.

In an instant, his will, his soul, carrying supreme mental power, left his body and entered the pure white star.

On the surface of the pure white star, a calm and indifferent face gradually emerged.

The impending destruction of the universe has finally ceased.

At the same time, a giant tree with lush branches and leaves broke through a trillion feet and grew infinitely tall, eventually becoming level with a universe!

The giant tree exuded a vibrant life force, sweeping across the vast universe and restoring everything riddled with holes at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The long night will soon be over, and dawn will finally break.
