Man is covering the sky, the system is perfect

Deep within the Realm of the Void Gods, a vast wave swept across all directions, manifesting the spiritual imprints of numerous quasi-emperors, like immortal gods descending upon the world, exuding a terrifying pressure.

The souls of a group of young supreme beings and top disciples also coalesced into form.

They stood tall in this ancient realm constructed of endless runes, their gazes fixed intently on the ancient star field of the Big Dipper.

Gazing at that faintly visible path to immortality, shrouded in celestial light.

All eyes were eventually drawn to Zhang Bairen.

He stood alone in the void, his robes fluttering, his body exuding the aura of time, as if he had come riding the waves from a distant river of time.

In this world, no one can surpass him in understanding the mysterious "otherworld" and the eerie "dark matter".

These two words, when separated, can be interpreted in some way, but when connected, they become an eternal fog, shrouding the hearts of all beings and causing them bewilderment and unease.

Zhang Bairen frowned slightly, his eyes as deep as the starry sea. He spoke slowly, his voice carrying a hint of uncertainty, yet seemingly containing the vicissitudes of changing eras.

"I cannot be entirely certain about this matter either."

He paused, as if recalling something from a very distant past.

"When I was young, I came across some fragments and ancient fragments related to these things by chance."

Legends and scattered records about this have been passed down through the ages, but most are incomplete and lack a complete picture.

He continued in a deep voice, "In that distant chaotic ancient era, the name 'other realm' was a nightmare for cultivators in our world, a powerful and hopeless enemy."

There are ancient legends that before the Chaotic Era, in the even more ancient Immortal Era, our realm (which may have been called 'Nine Heavens and Ten Earths' or other ancient names) was extremely glorious and gave birth to true immortals.

It's even possible that... there exist unparalleled figures beyond true immortals!

Upon hearing this, silence fell over the surroundings, and even the divine sense of the Quasi-Emperor was stirred.

However, prosperity inevitably leads to decline.

Zhang Bairen's tone turned somber, tinged with sadness.

"At the end of the Immortal Ancient Era, an unimaginable and terrifying war broke out between the alien realm and our world."

That battle shattered galaxies and overturned the universe; our realm suffered a crushing defeat.

Not only did the most powerful True Immortals and even higher-level beings perish one after another, but even the vast world we inhabit was shattered and torn apart into countless pieces…

Although Zhang Bairen's words were not entirely certain, they sounded more like he was quoting an old legend.

But the terrifying scene revealed in those few words had already shaken all the cultivators present, including those quasi-emperors who had lived for a long time, to their core, making them unable to control themselves.

They all spontaneously gave up the center position for Zhang Bairen, like stars surrounding the moon.

Because what it describes concerns the oldest secrets, touching upon an era of annihilation that is even more distant than the age of mythology, a time abyss that even emperors could hardly trace.

"Another realm... could actually shatter my world?!"

An ancient supreme being couldn't help but whisper, his voice filled with disbelief and horror.

This secret is so shocking that it has overturned many people's understanding.

Zhang Bairen shook his head slightly: "The specific details have long been buried under the dust of time and are difficult to know fully."

What I know is pieced together from numerous ancient texts that have almost turned to ashes and from the mouths of some ancient practitioners who have lived for extremely long periods.

To be honest, even in my time, we had our doubts about this.

After all, in an era when even the existence of 'immortals' was debated, who could be certain that the glory and devastation of the Immortal Ancient Path weren't just legends conjured up by later generations?

He changed the subject slightly, a complex light flashing in his eyes.

"If we were to name the only being widely believed in that fragmented history who might have touched upon the path to immortality, or even truly become an immortal, it would be the Desolate Heavenly Emperor!"

The mere mention of this name seemed to cause the laws of the Void God Realm to tremble slightly.

"He suddenly rose to prominence between heaven and earth at a certain period of time. His power surpassed the limits of all cultivators' imagination, as if he did not belong to any era."

Zhang Bairen's tone carried an indescribable sense of awe.

"He has traversed the boundless void time and time again, shuttling between different realms, and even breaking through the boundary walls with his bare hands to explore the ethereal and legendary immortal realm..."

I even suspect that some of the ancient paths to immortality and the blurred remnants of passages seen in the Big Dipper and other star systems today might have been created or left behind by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor with his supreme power during his explorations..."

This deduction once again stirred up a storm in the hearts of all the listeners.

One of the young prodigies couldn't contain himself and asked, "You... you've personally seen the Desolate Emperor? Then... did he actually become an immortal?"

Upon hearing this question, many people couldn't help but think of the earth-shattering event on the path to immortality not long ago, and the mysterious being who never showed his face but crushed everything with absolute power.

If it weren't for this incident, they might still be skeptical about the existence of "immortals".

But now, they have come to realize that there may truly be a level of life that transcends the Great Emperor.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Bairen's face displayed an extremely strange expression.

It was as if we had traveled through countless reincarnations to witness once again that invincible figure.

Even though he has already reached the pinnacle of the Great Sage realm, with one foot in the Quasi-Emperor realm, he can be considered a top-tier powerhouse in the universe.

But when he thought of that being, he still felt as insignificant as dust.

"Indescribable, immeasurable..."

Zhang Bairen's voice trembled slightly, his eyes filled with reminiscence and shock.

His power is beyond words.

Even with my current level of cultivation, looking back, I still feel like an ant gazing at the sky; its power and ability are unfathomable…

Zhang Bairen has witnessed the actions of many figures, including Great Emperors, Ancient Emperors, and Heavenly Venerables.

Even so, when mentioning the mysterious and unpredictable Desolate Emperor, this person's words were filled with boundless reverence.

That was indeed an existence beyond his imagination, powerful and terrifying to the extreme.

"Are there any records or rumors about how the other realm and the immortal realm became enemies?"

Currently, to ascend to immortality and enter the immortal realm, one is required to fight against other realms and stand on the front line.

This piqued the curiosity of many people present.

After all, Amitabha Buddha is currently undergoing review and examination on his path to immortality.

They wanted to know more about the specific standards and also about systems from other regions.

There are only a few records, but little is known about them.

Rumor has it that during the peak of my realm, it was also a friend of the Immortal Realm, or that a supreme being from the Immortal Realm would descend upon my realm.

We shared drinks and conversation with the top figures in our field.

However, there are also rumors that our realm is merely an appendage of the Immortal Realm, and is at the forefront of the fight against the alien realm.

During the confrontation, powerful beings from the Immortal Realm will also emerge unscathed to fight alongside them against the alien realm.

The true adversary of the other realm is the Immortal Realm, not my own.

"Back then, I suffered a defeat, and the rumor was that the Immortal Realm deliberately retreated, leaving our cultivators to stand at the forefront, which led to our crushing defeat..."

Although there was no definite direction or a definitive answer, everyone present felt their hearts surge with emotion upon hearing these words.

"What kind of powerful world could rival the Immortal Realm?" "And what is this dark matter? Why is this special substance subject to scrutiny to prevent it from entering the body?"

Zhang Bairen wasn't entirely sure about the others.

However, Zhang Bairen still has a lot to say about dark matter.

"Dark matter still existed in considerable quantities during the Chaotic Ancient Period, and there are very detailed records of it."

It is a terrifying and peculiar substance, rumored to originate from another realm. This substance, once it invades a person's body, will directly penetrate into their primordial spirit, causing changes to that spirit.

A completely new primordial spirit is born from the old body.

As for where the original spirit went, no one knows.

All that is known is that after a new primordial spirit is born, all related memories and experiences will disappear.

Newborn bodies are naturally inclined toward darkness and will actively seek out other realms.

It's like a bizarre and strange cycle.

During the chaotic ancient era, many people fell into darkness, completely changing their personalities and behaviors, and becoming entirely new lives.

Even during the time I was alive, many such things happened; they were extremely bizarre and terrifying…”

"Such a substance actually exists in the world?"

"It's that terrifying?"

"Are there still such strange substances in the world today?"

Many people were moved, but Zhang Bairen shook his head after hearing this.

"Based on the records in many ancient books and my occasional awakenings to observe the state of heaven and earth, no such situation has occurred from the mythological era to the present day."

The corresponding dark matter should no longer exist in the world.

Upon hearing this, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

"If these are the only requirements, then we all meet the criteria and can all enter the Immortal Realm."

"Don't think it's that easy. From ancient times to the present, no one has ever truly entered the Immortal Realm. Who knows if there will be even more specific requirements?"

Meanwhile, who knows if they'll allow a massive influx of cultivators into the Immortal Realm?

They were having a heated conversation here, and unprecedented changes were taking place on the path to immortality.

A follower of the Amitabha Buddha Emperor shone before the ancient mirror, his entire body seemingly disintegrating and then reassembling within the light.

"No problem! You can go in!"

Cold and indifferent words were spoken atop the city wall.

But these cold words caused the millions of believers under the command of Amitabha Buddha to cheer and rejoice.

Even the usually tense face of Amitabha Buddha Emperor couldn't help but reveal a slight smile.

As the believer turned over and entered that realm, he was settled by the soldier and walked away into the distance.

The pure silver body of Amitabha Buddha, a symbol of faith, had specks of golden light generating at its very core.

The supremely powerful emperor-level figure atop the city wall glanced at Emperor Amitabha.

However, he did not make a move, but simply nodded slightly.

"Accumulation is certainly possible; I'm already on the path to immortality, undergoing a transformation!"

He uttered these words, and then his energy flashed and shone brightly, shaking the entire world. Most of the billions of believers under the command of Amitabha Buddha were illuminated by the light.

No one emanated dark energy, nor did they undergo any unusual changes; the one figure simply responded coldly.

"No dark matter was detected. You are a descendant of the original ancient realm's inhabitants, meeting the criteria. Are you willing to join our realm and stand at the forefront of the fight against the alien realm?"

"willing!"

After a large group of people responded in this way, the figure nodded indifferently, and these millions of believers who had passed the review rushed into that realm.

The entire world trembled, and the entire Big Dipper, the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and all those who were watching this place were about to boil over.

The golden light emanating from Amitabha Buddha Emperor became increasingly dazzling, and countless practitioners could see the core area of ​​Amitabha Buddha Emperor.

At the location of his Sendai, a pure golden cocoon formed.

"Having given birth to a divine child, he is about to reach an even higher level!"

The ancient emperor and the celestial being within the forbidden zone recognized this change and were shaken, feeling both envy and an indescribable mix of emotions.

The promise made by the Great Emperor Amitabha Buddha was that his entire religion would become immortals. If he could not focus on becoming immortals, he would never become an immortal.

They had previously learned about Amitabha Buddha, and knew that Amitabha Buddha lived in the hearts of all beings.

Even though he is dead, he can still exert the power of a peak emperor through the power of faith over countless years.

They would just make a sarcastic remark and laugh it off, but wouldn't take it too seriously.

This is because it is a path to immortality, but the Amitabha Buddha Emperor who survived, formed from the power of faith, is no longer the Amitabha Buddha Emperor of yesteryear.

This is a different kind of immortality, and it's not worth learning from.

If Amitabha Buddha wants to truly be resurrected, he must fulfill his promise and truly lead his teachings to become immortals. Only then can he be reborn from the dead.

But in reality, this is simply impossible.

No one in history has ever been able to become an immortal, so how could Amitabha Buddha be an exception?

But today, Amitabha Buddha's promise has truly come true.

Therefore, the most difficult transformation in history also silently occurred in the life of Amitabha Buddha Emperor.

Millions of believers entered that place, known as the Immortal Realm, and with each newcomer, the golden light emanating from the Amitabha Buddha Emperor grew ever brighter.

When all the believers in his entire Buddha Kingdom entered that world, Amitabha Buddha's entire body was enveloped and covered by golden light.

His aura was extremely powerful and terrifying.

But that ancient world, that ancient city wall, remained largely unchanged, instead offering a calm inquiry.

Do you wish to enter my realm?

"willing!"

boom!
A golden avenue stretches out from the city wall.

As the ancient mirror shone, the Amitabha Buddha Emperor rose into the air.

It seems to decompose and recombine in the air, and when it reappears, it is already inside the city wall.

Amitabha Buddha and his millions of followers successfully entered that strange world.

The heavens and earth trembled, and the world fell silent.

Then, in the next moment, it erupted with the most unrestrained and fierce fluctuations.

"You can become an immortal!"

"They really made it!" (End of Chapter)
