The game begins with a visit to a holy land, only to discover that one's ancestor was a human e

A desolate, ancient, and vast aura of yellowish-brown hues spread out like an extended scroll, instantly extending from the outer perimeter of the restricted area to the entire sky.

What kind of weather was that!

Everything was shrouded in darkness; even the stars were not worthy to rival its brilliance!

The sky was obscured, leaving only a vast expanse of dark yellow sky, from which a visible aura of dark yellow energy descended.

They are like wisps of starlight, like dust particles floating in the air...

It is visible but intangible, as if it has been pulled back to the time before the world was divided and before the creation of heaven and earth.

Without any warning, as if a corner of the sky had suddenly collapsed, countless cultivators were caught off guard, and their physical bodies and primordial spirits felt a heavy weight.

It was as if an endless ancient mountain was pressing down on them, forcibly pressing them to the ground. No matter how much they activated their magic power, they could hardly move an inch!

"puff!!"

"It's so heavy! What is this?! My very soul is trembling!!"

"The Forbidden City is sinking! This is outrageous! The entire city is sinking!!"

Some powerful figures in the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm also had their faces flushed red, their bones creaking, and they prostrated themselves on the ground.

Even the top geniuses such as True Dragon, Phoenix, and Primordial Ant all lowered their stances slightly and their auras became heavy, as if facing a great ancient enemy.

"Immortal...Immortal Gold! This is the aura of the Primordial Gold!! It's moving!"

An old monk, well-versed in both ancient and modern times and a contemporary historian, was pinned to the ground, but still managed to raise his head and shout wildly with all his might.

"That is the primordial energy born at the dawn of creation, a mere trace of which can crush mountains and rivers! It is the heaviest force in this world! It... it was awakened by the duel between the Human Emperor's Body and the Golden Crow Prince!"

"Hiss!!" Everyone gasped.

They even thought it was a riot in the restricted area, and that something ominous was about to happen.

Many people have already felt regret, secretly hating themselves for getting involved in this mess.

Now that the fog has lifted, the fear that had lingered in my heart has slowly faded away, replaced by an indescribable strangeness.

Immortal gold is extremely rare, and its whereabouts are no less than the manifestation of a great emperor in the world!

Isn't this exactly why everyone came here?!

Even if I only see it with my own eyes, I would have no regrets even if I died here!

even……

Some people became emboldened.

They believed they also had a chance to win.

……

The two who were still exchanging blows stopped at the same time, abruptly turning around to look towards the penalty area.

Feng Zhi swayed slightly, but quickly regained his footing. His wildly dancing hair had now settled quietly behind him.

A strange light flashed in his eyes; this was the first time he had truly experienced the real meaning of "weight".

It was a primal, profound weight that struck the very soul, causing the mind to tremble instinctively.

If forged into a natal weapon, it would be enough to pierce through the opponent's true spirit and shatter the cycle of reincarnation!

Just as everyone was shocked.

One after another, figures whose true forms were obscured stepped out of the void, like ancient gods manifesting or great emperors personally arriving.

Their bodies were enveloped in Daoist energy, and astonishing phenomena continued to occur. With each step they took, the clouds in all directions shattered, and the mountains and rivers resonated.

There was a black and white figure whose form was between reality and illusion. Yin and Yang energies flowed alternately around him, and the birth and death of the entire world seemed to be contained within a small space.

Auspicious clouds silently spread out, and five-colored light descended, clashing sharply with the radiance of the immortal gold, creating a peaceful yet solemn glow.

There was a humanoid creature standing in the chaos, accompanied only by a black dog, silent and solitary.

People recognized them, and even those who were unable to move would exclaim in surprise:

"Yin-Yang illusions! Kun and Peng are evolving; this posture... belongs to the unparalleled successor of the Kunpeng clan!!"

"And those auspicious five-colored clouds, with thousands of strands of lucky energy, are the mythical Qilin descending!"

"Look at that figure shrouded in chaotic energy, accompanied by a black dog—it's a human's chaotic form! He's come too!"

Everyone was momentarily dazed.

These unparalleled geniuses, who have remained hidden for so long, are all like the sun shining brightly in the heavens, enough to illuminate an entire era!

At this moment, they were under the same azure sky as Feng Zhi, Bi Yang, Zhen Long, and Feng Huang.

The strongest monsters from all races gathered, as if returning to that glorious era when geniuses rose up and all races vied for supremacy.

But before they could recover, another strange phenomenon occurred.

The heavens and earth shook, and the surrounding fields trembled.

The oppressive aura that shrouded the sky, weighing everyone down, suddenly ceased its drifting and wandering.

Instead, as if it had gained consciousness, it began to gather and converge on its own, peeling away from each person inch by inch, and rising into the sky.

As the pressure dissipated, everyone was able to catch their breath, soaked to the bone as if they had emerged from the deep sea, but dared not relax even for a moment.

Everyone stared blankly at the sky, watching the ancient and primordial energy slowly converge in the same direction.

Countless strands of primordial energy continuously converged and evolved, eventually forming an ancient, pale yellow road between heaven and earth.

It extends from the gray mist at the edge of the forbidden zone, traverses the void, and stretches over a thousand miles to the ruins outside the Forbidden City.

Every inch of it was forged from the primordial energy, ancient, desolate, and boundless.

The original patterns flow within, starlight never falls, dust never settles, and it seems that even the passage of time cannot leave a trace on it.

At the end of the ancient road, a colossal gate, reaching to the sky, stands majestically.

The ancient and desolate gate, dark yellow in color, is tens of thousands of feet high and wide, and is engraved with countless traces of the Great Dao.

It stands silently at the end of the ancient road, like an ancient checkpoint spanning centuries, waiting for someone who can unlock it.

Looking up from the Forbidden City, this ancient road resembles a primitive bridge spanning heaven and earth, and the giant gate is the origin gate that supports the past, present, and future.

"A once-in-a-millennium miracle! This is the test of celestial gold!"

The old historian trembled all over, his cloudy eyes now shining frighteningly.

He gazed at the ancient, weathered road that stretched across the sky and earth, his eyes filled with an almost pilgrimage-like fervor.

"Throughout history, the Primordial Gold has never chosen its master! Today, it reveals its true form, transforming the ancient road and erecting the Heavenly Gate, all while waiting for a suitable and destined person!"

"A thousand paths of profound mystery, each step a new heaven! Only by reaching the end and pushing open the Heavenly Gate can one witness the true form of the Immortal Gold!"

He became increasingly agitated as he spoke, his voice growing hoarse and strained.

"Whoever can traverse this path will not only gain the favor of celestial gold, but will also acquire a once-in-a-millennium qualification! Even ten thousand years after their death, they will be praised by all future generations!"

Upon hearing this, everyone shuddered and their gazes toward Gu Lu instantly changed.

Even though they knew in their hearts that they could not make it through this journey, their desires still arose uncontrollably.

But what if?

What if it's me?! What if I can get straight through?

Moreover, who doesn't want to be remembered in history? Who doesn't want to be remembered for generations?

The Immortal Gold has personally laid out the trial, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity laid out before everyone! Anyone has a chance!

Even if you can't reach the end, just stepping onto it is a glory equivalent to being ranked alongside the great emperors of antiquity.
