I gain ten years' worth of cultivation every day, and even geniuses will only see my doorstep!

The guardian of the 2,999th level is an old man with white hair, at the first level of the Heavenly Domain Realm. In the history of the Myriad Realms Heavenly Domain, only the Lord of the Heavenly Domain has reached this point. Back then, the Lord of the Heavenly Domain fought bitterly here for ten thousand years before barely managing to pass.

The white-haired old man looked at Qin Yuan, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. "Young man, you have proven your strength. You can choose to give up on this final level. No one will blame you."

Qin Yuan shook his head. "I won't give up."

The white-haired old man sighed. "Then I won't hold back."

He raised his hand, and two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine Heavenly Daos descended simultaneously! That power was enough to destroy the entire Myriad Realms Heavenly Domain!

Qin Yuan took a deep breath, raising the Xing Tian Sword high above his head. The Void Laws, all two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine Heavenly Daos, were fused together! Void Heavenly Dao – Ultimate!

A single sword strike!

The sword energy collided with the torrent of the Heavenly Dao! Boom—! The entire Heavenly Dao Tower trembled! Everyone outside the tower felt an unprecedented pressure!

The Lord of the Heavenly Realm's pupils contracted slightly. "This is…"

The sword energy shattered, and the torrent dissipated. The white-haired old man staggered back ten steps, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. Qin Yuan also staggered back ten steps, spitting out blood. Both were severely injured.

But in Qin Yuan's eyes burned an even more intense fighting spirit. "Again!"

He raised his sword again! The white-haired old man smiled bitterly. "Enough. You win."

He withdrew his Heavenly Dao, looked at Qin Yuan, and his eyes were full of satisfaction. "For billions of years, someone has finally made it this far. You are qualified to enter the final level."

His figure vanished. A thick beam of golden light shot into Qin Yuan's brow.

That was a complete understanding of 2999 Heavenly Dao principles. System notification: [Heavenly Dao comprehension progress: 2999/3000. Daily cultivation gains increased to 100 trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion years/day.]

Qin Yuan looked up at the last floor. The 3000th floor. The pinnacle of the Heavenly Dao Tower.

He stepped onto the stairs.

The 3000th floor was empty, except for a high platform in the center. On the platform, a phantom sat cross-legged. The phantom had no face, no aura, and seemed to be the very essence of the Heavenly Dao itself.

"You've come," the illusory figure spoke, its voice calm yet seemingly resonating deep within the soul. "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Qin Yuan clasped his hands in a respectful bow. "Junior Qin Yuan greets Senior."

The illusory figure looked at him. "I am the will of the Heavenly Dao Tower, and also the will of the Three Thousand Heavenly Daos. The fact that you have reached this point means that you have already comprehended the method of Heavenly Dao Fusion. But the last Heavenly Dao requires you to create it yourself."

Qin Yuan was taken aback. "Creation?"

The illusory figure nodded. "The Three Thousand Heavenly Daos—metal, wood, water, fire, earth; wind, rain, thunder, lightning; time, space; life, death, and reincarnation… Each Heavenly Dao was created by our predecessors. The Void Law is also a creation of our predecessors. The true pinnacle is not comprehending existing Heavenly Daos, but creating new ones."

He raised his hand, and a ball of light condensed in his palm. "This is the Blank Heavenly Dao, devoid of any attributes. What you need to do is create your own Heavenly Dao within this blank space."

The light faded. "Go. I will await you."

Qin Yuan sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes. Create his own Heavenly Dao? He had never thought of it.

He recalled his journey. From the Xuan Yuan Sect to the Tai Yi Sect, from the Southern Continent to the Upper Realm, from the myriad worlds to the Chaos Outer Domain, from the highest heavens of chaos to the Sea of ​​Nothingness, and then to the Myriad Realms Heaven Domain. He had traversed countless worlds, experienced countless battles, and encountered countless people.

What is his path? Is it power? Is it law? Is it nothingness? None of these. His path is protection. It is protecting those he wants to protect. It is ensuring that those around him can live peacefully and joyfully.

This is his way. This is the Heavenly Way he seeks to create.

He opened his eyes. In his palm, a ball of light condensed. The light was neither golden nor grayish-white, but a color he had never seen before. Warm, bright, and full of life.

Protect the Way of Heaven.

The illusory figure looked at the light in his palm and smiled. "Good. Good. I have lived for billions of years and have seen countless Heavenly Daos. But protecting the Heavenly Dao is a first for me."

His figure gradually faded away. "Go. From this day forward, you are the new Lord of Heaven."

Qin Yuan stood up and walked out of the tower.

Outside the Heavenly Tower, everyone waited. When the golden light shone on the 3000th floor, everyone held their breath.

"He...he succeeded?!"

"Floor 3000! He made it through floor 3000!"

"The second person in the history of the Myriad Realms Heavenly Domain!"

The Lord of the Heavenly Realm laughed. "Good. Good. I knew I hadn't misjudged you."

The tower gate opened, and Qin Yuan stepped out. His aura had already surpassed the Heavenly Dao Realm, reaching the first level of the Heavenly Domain Realm.

But what he comprehended was not any of the three thousand Heavenly Daos, but a completely new Heavenly Dao—the Heavenly Dao of Guardians.

The Lord of the Heavenly Realm stared at him, his eyes filled with shock. "You...you created your own Heavenly Dao?"

Qin Yuan nodded.

The Lord of the Heavenly Realm fell silent. He had lived for billions of years and had never seen anyone create a new Heavenly Dao. Because creating a new Heavenly Dao required not power, not talent, but—one's true nature.

"Good. Good. Good." He said "good" three times in a row. "From today onwards, you are the deputy domain lord of the Myriad Realms Heaven Domain."

The entire audience erupted in uproar! A Deputy Domain Lord! That position was second only to the Lord of the Heavenly Domain!

Qin Yuan clasped his hands in a respectful bow. "Thank you, Domain Lord."

The Lord of the Heavenly Realm waved his hand. "No need to thank me, you earned it yourself."

He paused. "However, the Void Demons won't give you time to grow slowly. Three months from now, the King of the Void Demons will lead his army to attack the Myriad Realms Heavenly Domain. At that time, you will need to lead three thousand Heavenly Dao Lords to fight against the demons."

He looked at Qin Yuan. "Are you confident?"

Qin Yuan didn't hesitate. "Yes."

The Lord of the Heavenly Realm laughed. "Very well. Then I'll wait and see just how powerful your protection of the Heavenly Dao can be."

Three months later, at the border of the Myriad Realms Celestial Domain. Endless gray-white mist surged, and within it, countless Void Demons roared. The weakest was at the first level of the Heavenly Dao Realm, and the strongest—the King of Void Demons—was at the ninth level of the Heavenly Domain Realm.

Three thousand Heavenly Dao Lords, one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred Law Lords, and countless warriors from myriad realms and heavens stood ready for battle.

Qin Yuan stood at the very front, holding Lin Qing'er's hand. "Are you scared?"

Lin Qing'er shook her head. "I'm not afraid. With you here, I'm not afraid of anything."

Qin Yuan smiled. He released her hand and turned to face the army of Void Demons.

The voice of the Lord of the Heavenly Realm came from behind. "Qin Yuan, you will command this battle."

Qin Yuan nodded. He raised his hand, and the Xingtian Sword was drawn. The power to protect the Heavenly Dao flowed through the sword.

"kill!"

With a single sword strike, he unleashed the Void Heavenly Dao Ultimate! The greyish-white sword energy, fused with the power that guarded the Heavenly Dao, slashed towards the Void Demon Army!

Boom—! Wherever the sword energy passed, thousands upon thousands of Void Demons were reduced to ashes!

The three thousand Heavenly Dao Masters followed closely behind, each unleashing the power of their respective Heavenly Dao! The Heavenly Dao of Metal, the Heavenly Dao of Wood, the Heavenly Dao of Water, the Heavenly Dao of Fire, the Heavenly Dao of Earth... two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine Heavenly Daos converged into a golden torrent, crushing towards the demon army!
