Covering the Sky: I am the King of Men, and I rule over the rise and fall of all heavens.

Yao Yao and Chu Feng were even more confused: how could they break through to this point and still live happily?

Jiang Bai scratched his head and explained, "I can break through now and directly surpass the Strange Clan, then easily annihilate them."

"But the problem is, after I break through, I will most likely no longer be human. I'm researching that."

"As for whether they are dead or not, it doesn't really matter to me. After all, once I break through and annihilate the strange race, I can easily revive them."

Chu Feng and Yao Yao were dumbfounded after hearing this.

"Then why did you still protect the two of us?" Chu Feng asked through gritted teeth.

"You're already so powerful. Once you've mastered your divine skills and destroyed the strange race, why don't you just resurrect the two of us?"

"So that we won't have to suffer the pain of losing a loved one and being powerless to do anything about it."

Chu Feng and Yao Yao's eyes instantly turned red. It wasn't that they couldn't bear the pressure, but the pain was simply too much.

Jiang Bai understood that this was like losing one's mother in childhood, one's wife in middle age, and one's son in old age—something most people simply couldn't bear.

"Because we have to leave behind a seed. If I fail and die, and the Desolate Heavenly Emperor and Ye Fan do not use this death to achieve enlightenment and reach a higher level, then the Heavenly Court's inheritance will be completely severed."

Jiang Bai's words contained a lot of information, which made Chu Feng and Yao Yao's eyes widen.

Did the Desolate Emperor and Ye Fan not die, but teeter between life and death?
And what do you mean you also failed? What happened to your confident promises just now?

Jiang Bai didn't explain much, only saying that everyone dies, and then told the two to go and cultivate.

However, to Jiang Bai's surprise, the two chose to go to the shattered, ancient realm that had already entered the era of spiritual desolation to cultivate.

Furthermore, the two sealed away their memories of Jiang Bai and tried their best to live in the era of the Spirit Absolute.

Jiang Bai himself also entered into cultivation.

Jiang Bai did not lie to Chu Feng and Yao Yao. He really could break through at any time, and he was really researching how to live happily after breaking through.

The memories left to Jiang Bai by the mastermind "Jiang Bai" also included Jiang Bai's own deductions about the "Harmony of the Dao" realm. In fact, they were all the same as what Liu Shen had said before: after breaking through, one would no longer be human.

If he had to describe that state, Jiang Bai felt he could only use three words: "computer".

They might have some consciousness when they first come into contact with the Dao, and be able to do things at will, but as time goes by, they will eventually become a heartless, emotionless computer.

This outcome was unacceptable to the mastermind behind the scenes, "Jiang Bai," and Jiang Bai himself could not accept it. Therefore, the mastermind behind the scenes, "Jiang Bai," chose to disappear, leaving everything to Jiang Bai.

Jiang Bai's choice was, "If you're not convinced, then fight! I've been unlucky my whole life, I have to win at least once in the end."

Therefore, for countless years, Jiang Bai has been researching in the Cemetery of Gods and Demons how to break through to the "Harmony with the Dao" realm while still having enough emotions and desires to live a happy life.

After Jiang Bai's persistent research, some progress was finally made.

That is to directly create a "computer" to merge with the Dao, and then Jiang Bai has a backdoor in the computer to use the power of "merging with the Dao" through the computer, thereby ruling the world and controlling the universe.

This way, you can both break through barriers and live a happy life.

At the same time, a new problem arose: how to build a computer and have a backdoor in it.

"Perhaps I should learn from the strange race and find an ancient realm to conduct experiments."

With this in mind, Jiang Bai immediately decided to put it into action.

Jiang Bai rode the Divine Demon Cemetery to a shattered ancient realm beyond the heavens.

This is a world that was sacrificed by the Primordial Ancestor, a world where only mortals can survive. It used to be the Primordial Ancestor's experimental field, but it's now abandoned. Jiang Bai estimates that it won't be able to be used again until the end of the Era of Extinction, after he believes that the Heavenly Court's backup plans have all dissipated.

Using his magical power, Jiang Bai set up a large array outside the ancient boundary to shield himself from detection.

Afterwards, Jiang Bai refined this broken ancient world into a universe like the one in the novel "Covering the Sky," and planted a World Tree seed, giving it the hope of growing into a great world like the Immortal Realm.

As time passed, a hundred thousand years went by in the blink of an eye. The environment within the universe had become suitable for cultivation as the World Tree grew, and some beings had even begun to attain enlightenment.

Jiang Bai passed down his castrated alchemy method, advancing the process of merging with the Dao, and merging with the Great Dao of a universe, corresponding to the realm of True Immortal.

After all, the current environment of this universe is not conducive to becoming an immortal.

Under Jiang Bai's watchful gaze, one cultivator after another appeared, practicing alchemy. They diligently cultivated and earnestly inquired about the Dao, but even after 100,000 years and countless deaths, not a single one had ever reached the Dao Integration Realm.

This greatly disappointed Jiang Bai. This was a watered-down version of the alchemy and Dao Integration Realm, and you couldn't even get into it? Aren't you all a bit useless?
Jiang Bai took a deep breath and told himself that it had only been two hundred thousand years, he had plenty of time, and he could wait.

Another 100,000 years passed. Jiang Bai glanced at the direction of the Primordial Ancient Realm. Chu Feng and Yao Yao had already traveled far on the Path of Immortals and were about to become immortals. As a result, this ancient realm produced one Great Emperor-level being after another, but no one ever achieved Dao.

This time, Jiang Bai even had the urge to destroy the world and replace the experimental subjects.

In the end, Jiang Bai suppressed this tyrannical thought and chose to continue waiting.

Another two hundred thousand years have passed. Chu Feng and Yao Yao have already ascended to immortality in the mortal world, but there is still no one in the universe who can achieve the Dao.

This time, Jiang Bai chose to personally train one and guide him on the path to enlightenment.

The child Jiang Bai chose was a human with a chaotic body, named Olai.

Under Jiang Bai's tutelage, Aolai charged ahead recklessly, quickly reaching the Great Emperor realm and becoming a powerful figure who reigned over the universe.

Then Olay found Jiang Bai and whispered, "My intuition tells me that merging with the Dao is death, becoming sustenance for this world, so I must search for other methods of immortality."

Jiang Bai instantly understood why no one had achieved Dao before: this universe was hinting to its child not to fall for Jiang Bai's tricks.

“But you can’t control people’s hearts.” Jiang Bai said softly to the universe after persuading Augu to leave and setting him free.

Jiang Bai then spread the word about the Dao Integration, leaving the choice to the world.

At the same time, Jiang Bai took away the World Tree, preventing this universe from growing with it and cutting off its hope of becoming a great immortal realm. Now, the Great Emperor is only in the Dharma-ending Age, only ten or twenty thousand years old.

Of course, if a powerful figure emerges in this universe and breaks through to become a Mortal Immortal or an Immortal King, it can still continue to grow.

Having noticed the changes in the universe, Olay found Jiang Bai and asked him if he was willing to stop.

"If you are unwilling, I will rid the universe of this evil."

One sentence made Jiang Bai laugh: Eliminate the scourge? How would you eliminate it? Also, what wrong have I done?

Jiang Bai genuinely didn't think he had done anything wrong. Although he wanted to use all living beings to achieve Dao and conduct experiments, he was also prepared to save people.

He, Jiang Bai, is a good person. This universe has wronged him. Speechless.

Speechless, Jiang Bai threw Aolai out of the God and Demon Cemetery.

"He's still the child I raised; I can't bring myself to kill him."
