World version update

Chapter 267 Version Update
A slight smile appeared on the blurred face of the Heavenly Dao incarnation.

He helped Lu Yan forge the Divine Court and achieve the Second Heaven Dao, thus binding the entire Great Transmigration version together with Lu Yan.

Lu Yan chose to spread the name of the Underworld Divine Court in many versions, achieving the name of the Divine Court of all heavens in one step, and the Great Transmigration version could also benefit from it.

Furthermore, if Lu Yan were to embark on an even higher path, the Great Transcendent Heavenly Dao could also leverage Lu Yan's power to actively erode other versions.

As for the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, His faith in Lu Yan even surpassed that in Lu Yan himself.

The moment Lu Yan touched the crystal ball, the crystal ball, which contained information from countless versions, emitted a dazzling halo, instantly transforming into hundreds of projections that shone around Lu Yan.

These projections include version fragments destroyed by Lu Yan, version fragments devoured by Changsheng Tian, ​​and even fragments that briefly existed at the beginning of the Great Collapse version and were destroyed by the remaining world-destroying rules within the version fragments.

The reason why the fragments of the Nine Heavens version can exist under the rules of world destruction is not because they are the only ones who possess them.

Rather, among the many fragments of versions containing the rules of world destruction, only the Nine Heavens can suppress the rules of world destruction, and this has been passed down to this day.

The fragments of those destroyed versions also left some remnants, which were captured by this world.

As for those world-destroying rules, since their number was too small, they were completely obliterated long ago by the erosion of the Heavenly Order.

In the present day, all the version fragments that once existed in the Great Collapse version are reflected here.

As Lu Yan scanned the numerous projections formed by the crystal ball with his divine sense, he could clearly feel that these projections were extremely weak. Even with the Heavenly Dao avatar controlling them, they could only barely sustain a single projection of the heavens.

However, for Lu Yan, one chance was enough.

The next moment, the celestial phenomena changed.

The great will that governs the entire Great Collapse version begins to manifest, with golden Dao patterns cascading down from the heavens like a waterfall, forming a huge cocoon of light around Lu Yan's body.

This is a gift from Heaven, the second Heavenly Dao authority that split off from the previous one.

Inside the cocoon of light, Lu Yan's figure gradually blurred, replaced by a sacred outline formed by the Great Dao.

The surrounding void began to twist and deform, and countless tiny spatial cracks appeared and disappeared, as if the whole world was trembling for this moment.

Golden light burst forth from Lu Yan's body, piercing through the clouds, penetrating the sky, and reaching the highest heavens.

Lu Yan's eyes transformed into two golden moons, illuminating the entire void.

An ineffable great will revived from him, and with each breath he caused the surrounding space to tremble. He raised his palm, and a speck of dust floated in his palm. In the blink of an eye, a complete mustard seed world was created in the speck of dust.

Within the Great Collapse version, the authority of the Second Dao far surpasses that of the Spiritual Resurgence version, where humans act as the substitute for Heaven.

"At this moment, shouldn't I be comparable to the only person of this world?"

A vague thought flashed through Lu Yan's mind, and the next moment, the supreme divine power of manipulating creation was displayed in Lu Yan's palm.

As the hand seals fell, something appeared out of nothing in the void, and strange flowers of the Great Dao bloomed there, their blooming and withering enacting the birth and death of all things in the world.

He stretched out a finger and pointed it into the void ahead. A winding river appeared out of thin air, its water crystal clear, reflecting a non-existent starry sky.

With another wave of his sleeve, the mountain range rose abruptly from the ground, majestic and imposing, shrouded in clouds and mist.

With the blessing of this unique being, Lu Yan can create all things with a single thought.

The once desolate and chaotic Great Collapse Realm, under the guidance of the workings of creation, began to nurture a new world of life at a speed a million times faster.

On the second day, with the blessing of the Dao position and the support of the original essence of the entire version, Lu Yan performed the manipulation of creation, and his understanding of supreme divine power began to increase rapidly.

Lu Yan knew that the authority of the Second Heaven belonged to the entire Great Transmigration Version and could only be used within it. Once outside this world, it could not maintain this state.

Therefore, Lu Yan especially cherishes the opportunity to comprehend the workings of creation, and constantly uses these workings to repair the damaged Great Collapse Realm.

Just as Lu Yan flicked his finger, causing the continuous spiritual veins to manifest on the earth, a clear crack suddenly appeared from Lu Yan's fingertip.

The crack was so tiny, yet it immediately caused Lu Yan to decline from his previous state of perfect satisfaction.

Suddenly, Lu Yan had a vague realization.

"How vast is the entire version? Even the second Heavenly Dao, which split off from the Heavenly Dao of this version, is far beyond what ordinary beings can bear."

Even those unique beings in this world may not be able to bear the supreme power of the Second Heaven.

This is why it is necessary to establish a divine court, to entrust the authority of the Heavenly Dao to the entire divine court, and to infinitely divide the authority of the Heavenly Dao within the divine court, so that it can be completely preserved.

By borrowing the power of the Divine Court to divide the Heavenly Dao, one becomes the dominant force of the Heavenly Dao, controlling all cause and effect, past and future, in this version of the world.

Having understood the reason, Lu Yan felt regretful, but could only temporarily suspend his efforts to mediate the situation.

"The Underworld, appear!"

As the imperial edict was issued, Lu Yan held the Emperor's Banner, and as the banner pierced the sky, a vast and boundless continent began to appear.

Unlike the Eternal Heaven, which was once merely a reflection in the sky, the Netherworld now detaches itself from the void and descends completely into the Great Collapse Realm.

The first thing that appears is the outline of the mainland, like a painting being drawn, with the edges still slightly blurred.

Then came the majestic mountains where the aura of the human emperor converged, and the surging Yellow River flowing through the earth.

Ghostly soldiers and generals traversed the earth, and five ghostly deities manipulated the probability clouds to organize the rules of heaven and earth, exuding a sinister and majestic aura completely different from the mortal world.

When the celestial bodies evolved by the probability cloud replace the original stars, a black sun hangs high between heaven and earth, and the complete underworld descends.

Lu Yan, bearing the authority of the Second Heaven, stepped out and manifested in the sky above the small world of the underworld.

With a slight thought, and with the blessing of the Dao Authority the next day, Lu Yan's figure began to change drastically.

In an instant, the radiance subsided, and a majestic figure dressed in a black imperial robe appeared in the heavens.

His robes were as black as ink, embroidered with a nine-dragon design depicting the universe. As the dragons moved, it seemed as if the sun and moon were changing, and the mountains and rivers were shifting. Supreme Daoist energy was imbued within them, rising and falling slightly with his breath, as if the entire world was flowing within his robes.

Wearing a crown of thirty-six jewels, each jewel resembling a small world containing countless living beings, three golden divine flames shot straight into the sky from the crown, illuminating this shattered void.

His face was blurred, but his eyes were like two golden full moons, looking down upon the myriad worlds through the projection of the various heavens.

"Today I establish the Divine Court of the Underworld, to govern the order of life and death, cause and effect, and reincarnation throughout the heavens."

The voice of the Divine Emperor echoed through the void, each word like the tolling of an ancient celestial bell, vibrating the very foundations of reality. Its resounding tone, projected across the heavens, reverberated throughout countless versions of the world.

Although the world version has not been updated and is still in the Great Transmigration version, the cause and effect have been determined, the information has spread to all realms, and there has been a response in the dark.

Strands of golden causal threads converged from all directions, like countless spider silks, weaving a vast net that covered all the heavens and myriad worlds.

This vast network contains the long-standing name of the underworld, ancient legends, incense offerings, sacrifices in the survivor gathering places of the post-apocalyptic version, the incense and vows of the Nine Nether City in the Xianxia version, and the faith and prayers of all living beings in the spiritual revival version.

When Lu Yan named the Underworld, all the causes and effects of the Underworld in countless times and spaces were taken over by the Divine Court Underworld.

In an instant, the entire underworld seemed to bear an immeasurable weight, and the illusory incense and vows, after gathering countless versions, became clearly visible.

The underworld began to grow increasingly profound, and the originally desolate land gradually began to resemble the underworld as perceived by the world.

Meanwhile, the Second Dao authority on Lu Yan's body began to slowly transition towards the Divine Court and the Underworld.

Lu Yan's gaze swept over the still-present projection of the heavens, his eyes flashing slightly, before he resumed his grand chanting.

"I am in charge of the Underworld and the Divine Court."

"My name is Fengdu!"

In that instant, it was as if countless versions had been traversed, and countless worlds simultaneously sensed this declaration.

The modern city where spiritual energy has been revived, the ancient and primitive mythical continent, the vast and boundless starry sky realm—all the worlds that Lu Yan has ever set foot in have left indelible marks at this moment.

Above the heavens, countless stars shone with unprecedented brilliance, as if responding to the declaration of the newly appointed Divine Emperor. Above the nine heavens, the sea of ​​clouds churned, transforming into golden lotuses that bowed towards the Divine Emperor.

Among the countless versions of the projections of the heavens, pairs of great eyes descended upon the Great Collapse Realm as if the stars were tracing the name of Fengdu, seemingly trying to see through Lu Yan's true nature.

However, the starry sky was dark, and the fragments of the version within the Great Collapse Realm were all destroyed, making it difficult even for the only one in this world to discern its true nature.

However, the names of the Underworld Divine Court and the Great Emperor of Fengdu had already taken root in their hearts.

Within the small world of the underworld, the earth trembled violently, and mountains rose from the ground, like giant dragons awakening and raising their heads to greet the sky.

The mountain ranges meander and intertwine, outlining mysterious array patterns. Each mountain peak contains a law of the underworld, forming a complete picture of the netherworld.

Lu Yan formed a hand seal, lotus flowers blooming in his palms, and the power of creation flowed from his fingertips. Countless starlight fell from the sky, merging with the earth and transforming into gurgling streams, like the spiritual veins of all things in the world, flowing between the mountains.

He drew upon countless auras of the Human Emperors, which transformed into a long dragon of Dao principles, swirling and coiling in the void before finally converging at the foot of the mountain range.

The mountain range began to shift, and a majestic ancient city was built amidst the surrounding mountains.

The city walls soared into the clouds, constructed entirely of the aura of the human emperor, and inscribed with the patterns of the Great Dao left by the supreme divine power that manipulated creation.

The city gate towers are majestic and magnificent, resplendent in gold and green, yet they also exude a sinister and solemn atmosphere. The city streets are like veins, connecting in all directions.

The moment the city took shape, Heaven sensed it and a golden light descended from the heavens, transforming into a dark plaque that hung above the city gate.

The plaque seemed to carry some kind of will of heaven and earth, with three ancient and vigorous characters shining brightly: Fengdu City.

The moment Fengdu City was erected, the majestic figure of the Fengdu Emperor and the towering city of Fengdu reflected the heavens.

In a modern city where spiritual energy is reviving, a cultivator suddenly looks up and sees a phantom city silhouette in the night sky; in the mountain gate of a fantasy world, an elder awakens from meditation and senses a change in the order of the netherworld; in a technologically advanced starry world, an ancient intelligence suddenly detects an energy fluctuation that transcends dimensions.

Lu Yan's consciousness expanded, perceiving all of this. He understood that he had taken a crucial step, leaving an indelible mark on the various versions of the story.

The next moment, the projection of the various versions could no longer be sustained, and the thousands of projections formed by the crystal ball rapidly dissipated, marking the complete end of the only medium between the Great Transcendent Version and other versions.

Only the myriad living beings on this earth can witness the dramatic changes in this world.

Within the small world of the underworld, with the completion of Fengdu City, the former 6,600 Yin soldiers and ghost generals stepped into Fengdu City.

Clad in black armor and wielding ghostly weapons, they exuded a divine might that had been cleansed of all artifice. Although the power of the Heavenly Dao had been distributed among them to a negligible amount, they still managed to complete their transformation from ghostly spirits to gods of the Divine Court.

The five great ghosts and gods are scattered in all directions. Their cultivation has already broken through the Nascent Soul realm. They possess the authority of ghosts and gods in the underworld, receive the incense and vows of the underworld, and enjoy the fortune of the heavenly way.

Although it is only a nascent soul body, it possesses the authority of a true god within the divine court and the underworld.

Lu Yan looked down at the underworld that had undergone earth-shattering changes, especially the city of Fengdu at its core.

Although the Divine Court was newly established, in Lu Yan's eyes, everything about the Divine Court and the Underworld seemed so rudimentary.

It lacks a cultivation system, a complete lineage of underworld deities, and even its authority is merely that of the Second Heavenly Dao.

Once separated from the Great Transmigration version, the authority of the Second Heaven Dao cannot be retained, leaving only a false, empty shell of a divine court.

In the void, the Second Dao Authority around Lu Yan slowly dissipated, and the majestic phantom that had transformed into the Fengdu Emperor vanished, revealing Lu Yan's true form.

The so-called Lord of the Underworld and Emperor of Fengdu were just aliases that Lu Yan casually made up as a target.

Lu Yan manifested the power of the Second Heavenly Dao, and even if the only one in this world traced the cause and effect, it would only fall on the Great Collapse Realm.

There was a divine ruler whose name was known throughout the heavens, who was ultimately able to withstand some unscrupulous individuals of low caliber.

"The forging of the Divine Court is just the beginning!"

Lu Yan slowly closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into Fengdu City.

When Lu Yan opened his eyes again, more than a month had passed.

In just over a month, the entire Great Collapse Realm has undergone earth-shattering changes, but Lu Yan has no time to pay attention to them.

On the current version update screen, the version update progress has reached 99.9%.

As the characters pulsed again, the causal relationship of the surrounding spacetime began to freeze slowly, and the world in Lu Yan's eyes seemed to lose its color.

The update progress is complete. You can choose one of the following versions to update.

However, the text only flashed by for a moment, and the next moment a string of scarlet gibberish appeared in front of Lu Yan's eyes.

Lu Yan remained calm and composed, quietly watching the version update interface, and then a string of text became increasingly clear.

[Main God Version: Do you want to understand the meaning of this version? Do you want true transcendence?]
