Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

"My name is Jiang Mo. I have come to the mortal realm for a chat, with a three-day limit."

Deep beneath the distant seas of Kyushu, in the depths of a perfectly hidden secret realm, the world suddenly changed, night turned to day, and a gigantic eye slowly opened—it was the supreme ruler of the dragon race, the ancient dragon, Zhulong.

Its body blots out the sky, even more exaggerated than mountains, and its eyes are like the sun and moon that have shone through the ages, containing a chilling light.

"Roar!!!"

"Roar!!!"

Within the secret realm, the slumbering dragons awoke one after another, disturbed by the voice of the unfamiliar human man, letting out long howls to vent their displeasure.

Even more extreme, some soared into the air, intending to leave the secret realm and explore its secrets, but were warned by a single glance from Zhulong and dared not take a single step out of the secret realm.

"You all stay here, I'll go."

Knowing that it was the human who had come to Zhulong's door, he had no choice but to move his body.

"........"

Moments later, the heavens and earth trembled violently, as if some enormous creature was awakening, and the entire secret realm shook.

Coincidentally, deep underground in the Blood Demon Realm, inside a volcano spewing lava, an ancient being was slowly awakening, its hoarse voice carrying a hint of surprise.

"Humanity?!"

"They actually struck that drum on their own initiative, how interesting..."

Throughout history, only Masters have ever been able to beat that drum, and the sound of this drum signifies the onset of war.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, the ancient being slowly rose from the pool of fire, consisting only of an aged skin, devoid of any bones, muscles, or organs.

It emitted a blood-red light from within, gradually transforming into an old man in his twilight years, his body radiating a dense aura of death. With a flash, he instantly left the secret realm and headed to the surface, preparing to meet the human powerhouse he had never met before.

If...we're lucky, we might be able to find a decent new vessel.

Meanwhile, in the Evil Spirit Realm, within the towering Skull Mountain, an old immortal lying on a stone seat was startled awake.

"So... we actually found this place!"

"It really was that human."

This ancient creature of the evil spirit race was somewhat panicked.

Not long ago, intense fluctuations from a great battle came from beyond the heavens, which awakened it. When it went to the battlefield, it saw the demon king of the demon race being killed by a human.

Even possessing the legendary Chaos Cauldron couldn't withstand that person's sharp edge.

Just as it was hesitating whether to take action, reap the benefits, and eliminate future troubles.

Unexpectedly, the person seemed to sense something and glanced at its location.

Even when Xuanzun was weak and on the verge of death, it did not have the courage to participate in the battle.

In a split second, the opportunity was lost, and the man forcibly sat in meditation and died, then used the secret realm to be reborn.

The ancient beings of the evil spirit race were terrified by this scene. They dared not linger for a moment and desperately fled from the heavens back to the earth, erasing all traces of their existence.

In theory, if it didn't appear, humanity wouldn't have sacrificed its life for its covetousness.

Although the grudges involved are somewhat far-fetched, if one were to truly investigate them, this old codger of the evil spirit race would still be filled with fear.

"Why at this time of all..."

"Could it be... that he has fully recovered?"

The old evil spirit was on pins and needles, at a loss for what to do. The human world is only so big; no matter how far it tries to escape, it can't get very far.

After a moment of distress, it sent a clone to keep the appointment and sealed off the secret realm, retreating into seclusion.

..........

Inside the Sanyi Gate, Jiang Mo continuously pounded the drum to notify the three major forces: the Blood Demon, the Evil Spirit, and the Dragon Clan. He was certain that the drum had indeed transmitted his thoughts, but whether he would receive a response was another matter entirely.

Blood Demons and Evil Spirits belong to large races, while the Dragon race is similar to the Human race and the Ancient Human race.

Long ago, the dragon race was subservient to the demon race and was part of them. But as time went by, the dragon race gradually rose to power, and no demon emperor could suppress them anymore. So they established their own race and took root in the world.

When the drumming stopped abruptly, Jiang Mo returned the drumsticks to Xu Yi and began to wait patiently.

"My Lord, I have a question on my mind, but I don't know if I should ask it?"

"speak."

Having received permission, Xu Yi first took a sip of tea, then continued seriously:

"What is the reason why the Mystic Venerable wishes to meet the strongest members of the three races?"

"Should we deal with them and eliminate the threat in one fell swoop, or should we win them over to our side?"

"It depends on their choices."

Jiang Mo smiled, indicating that he didn't care. Whether to kill or not was entirely up to him. He needed help when the great calamity was coming, but even without help, he could still sweep aside the Starry Sky Human Race and the Great Ye Dynasty.

Xu Yi easily discerned the underlying meaning in these words. He smiled kindly and said:

"I see... Then I understand what Venerable Xuanzun means."

"Speaking of which, let's get back to our earlier topic. Young friend, have you taken that step forward?"

Xianhua asked curiously. After only a few months apart, Jiang Mo seemed perfect to him, without any flaws, and completely lacking the characteristics that a human should have, what is commonly known as 'humanity'.

"That's it."

"I lifted my foot out, but I couldn't find a place to put it down."

Jiang Mo did not hide anything from the old man, frankly admitting that he had reached the 'Immortal Palace' and needed to accumulate for another two or three hundred years before he could prove the Dao of the Great Void.

Upon hearing this news, all three showed surprise, with Xu Yi and the Flying Immortal Master offering their congratulations repeatedly.

"And how is your... Daotai?"

Xianhua asked with some nervousness and worry. Things were developing in the direction he had expected. Although the old man knew the answer the moment he asked the question, he was still shocked for a long time.

"Humanity has been eliminated, animality is gone, only God remains, returning to the most primal state, and becoming the new...divine will."

Jiang Mo spoke slowly and deliberately, his expression nonchalant, as if he were recounting something that had nothing to do with him.

"You...you chose this path...sigh..."

Xianhua frowned slightly and murmured her assessment: "Compared to other paths, its difficulty is far too high, yet it possesses the ultimate in 'thought' and 'strength.' No wonder you took the risk..."

"No, sir, you've misunderstood."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mo's lips curled into a warm smile:

"I didn't choose it for the sake of power; I just like pure things, including myself."

"Born as a human being, I am tainted by the world and covered with a layer of secular ethics, morality, and rules. I have worn it for hundreds of years, and I am tired of it. Now I want to take it off, and it will naturally fall off."

Looking at the solemn expressions of the group, especially the old man, Jiang Mo suddenly smiled, perhaps to comfort such a respected senior. His eyes were as bright as a moonlit spring.

"I'm just taking off my clothes. I'm still a human being. My memories haven't been erased."

"You don't need to worry about me."

"Since you are so sensible, then I will not say more. You must still be cautious, very cautious..."

Xianhua stroked his beard and sighed. The worst outcome he could imagine was that Jiang Mo would merge with the Dao, transforming into a new Heavenly Will, hanging high in the sky, isolated from the human world, becoming an immortal monster that was neither human nor ghost.

After he finished speaking, the Flying Immortal Master frowned slightly and said in surprise:

"Fellow Daoist, you have severed your humanity, so how can you be sure that you are not controlled by the will of Heaven?"

"I think, therefore I am. Heaven's will cannot penetrate me; I can take its place. I told you long ago that I have always believed in one fact: human desires are Heaven's will..."

As Jiang Mo spoke, his smile remained, but he made no attempt to hide his worry: "Right now, there are only two potential risks that I need to pay attention to."

"1. In the distant past, did anyone else arrive here like me, and become the will of Heaven, looking down upon all living beings, immortal and indestructible for ten thousand years? If such a monster exists, I must be wary."

"2. Having severed my humanity and bestiality, reaching the pinnacle of divinity, I am a rebirth ordained by Heaven. Like the reopening of the passage between the two realms, with the Heavenly Abyss entering the mortal world, what will become of me? Hard to say... hard to say..."

"You've thought that far ahead... Alas, these secrets are beyond our knowledge. I'm ashamed to say I can't offer you any effective advice."

The Flying Immortal Master sighed deeply, a sense of shared sorrow for his fallen comrade. He had followed the exact same path as Jiang Mo; what would become of him in the future? He silently prayed that nothing would happen.

"By the way, gentlemen, you can also introspect the Dao Platform. I wonder what your cultivation choices are?"

Jiang Mo looked at the three people, wanting to hear about their cases.

"My abilities are limited, so I can only ensure the longevity of the human flame. The beast flame was extinguished two hundred years ago, but the divine flame is deeply rooted and cannot be erased. Only a little bit remains."

The first to share was an elderly man, smiling as he recounted his life experiences.

"Fellow Daoist and I are on the same path, but you have gone further than I have." The Flying Immortal Master held a teacup and raised it to Jiang Mo.

Xu Yi of the Divine Refining Sect scratched his head and laughed heartily:

“Your paths are all wonderful, far more remarkable than mine. I am cautious by nature, strictly follow the teachings of my late master, keep my feet on the ground, am content and happy, do not crave higher realms, and still maintain a state of balance among the three fires.”

"Speaking of which, this is the first time I've heard of someone who has achieved perfect divinity. Apart from Xuanzun, I haven't found such an existence in any other era or history. Fellow Daoist, do you know of any other person like him?"

Xu Yi was puzzled and looked to the Flying Immortal Master for advice, but all he got was a slight shake of the head.

"without......"

"In the nine thousand years of history recorded in our religion, there is no such peerless existence with perfect divinity."

"Then your patriarch didn't take that step either?" Xu Yi was stunned. He had thought that the Flying Immortal Dao Lord had also reached that point.

Upon hearing this, the Flying Immortal Master smiled lightly: "No, the Ancestor was a different choice. He was a perfect human being who had severed both divine and beastly natures."

"I see... truly remarkable." Xu Yi couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

The four were chatting in the courtyard when, half an hour later, a strange phenomenon occurred. The sky, which was still bright in the daytime, suddenly plunged into endless darkness, as if the world had come to an end. The sunlight could not penetrate the thick black barrier and was blocked from the outside.

"Oh? Such a big ego."

The Flying Immortal Master's eyes narrowed instantly. The overwhelming demonic energy raged through the mountains and sky, making him feel a strong sense of threat, probably not much different from the Devouring Sun Demon Emperor.

"........"

As Xianhua stared at the vast and majestic scene, he roughly guessed the identity of the newcomer: the oldest monster in the dragon race, who had been sleeping for the longest time, had arrived—it was Zhulong!

"Boom!"

The next instant, Jiang Mo's gaze swept towards the distance, the protective formation of the sect slowly opened, and at the same time, his cold voice echoed between heaven and earth.

"I hope you will restrain your sharpness and not harm a single blade of grass or tree in my sect. Please—take a seat."

"Boom!"

Silver lightning danced wildly in the void, illuminating a colossal creature that shook the world. It silently gazed down at the humans below, seemingly both observing and probing.

The Candle Dragon sensed two terrifying powers sharing the same aura, which appeared before its eyes. One was the white-haired man in the courtyard, and the other was the small mountain on the ground. Although it looked ordinary, it contained a power that made its heart tremble.

What exactly is curled up inside?!

After a few breaths of stalemate, a giant shadow disappeared from the black sea of ​​clouds, and an old figure appeared in the courtyard of the Sanyi Sect.

The newcomer was nine feet tall, with skin like iron scales, taut and smooth. He wore a majestic silver-jade-white armor, and his steps were steady and powerful, showing no signs of old age. His transformed face was extremely dignified, possessing an aura of dominance over the world and the entire realm under his control, surpassing even any ancient monarch or emperor.

A pair of dark, demonic eyes contained unfathomable power, and the faint yet surging blood energy emanating from his body was several times stronger than that of the others present.

Zhulong.

The Dragon race is the oldest surviving species, the Sovereign Realm.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist. I wonder what your purpose is in using your war drums to shake the world and reach the secret realm, seeking me here for a meeting?"

Zhulong asked directly, without taking a seat, but simply standing beside the tea table.

Jiang Mo did not answer its question, but casually asked in return:

"Then, when I was fighting the Sun-Devouring Demon Emperor to the death some time ago, what was your intention in silently watching from the sidelines? Were you planning to reap the benefits without lifting a finger?"

"The world is so small, yet your battle with it, even if it's far away, is as deafening as if it were right next to us. What, I'm just taking a look, could I have offended the Venerable Master?"

Before arriving at the Sanyi Sect, Zhulong had learned about the current state of affairs in the human world through information provided by his clansmen, and was also familiar with Jiang Mo's various deeds, so he subconsciously prepared for battle.

"I wouldn't say I offended you, but I'm just curious about what your intentions were at the time. Please feel free to speak frankly."

Jiang Mo's eyes were sharp as knives, and his tone was indifferent as he stared at Zhulong, making it feel a sense of 'pressure' that it hadn't felt in a long time.

"Stand by and watch."
