"I'll bring Wu Da and the others here," Lu Yuan said and was about to leave, but Lu Yin stopped him. "It's faster if I go." Then, he teleported and disappeared.
Not long after, Chu Yi, Wu Tian, Hongyan Mavis, Desolate God, and Jialan Zhiluo all arrived. They all looked at the distant universe and waited silently.
To break through to immortality using the method of rebooting the universe, one needed to experience the origin and decay of the universe with the Eternal Matter until the realm transformed and accepted the Eternal Matter, allowing the vitality in the body to grow and multiply endlessly to achieve immortality.
This was the most common method of breaking through to immortality.
Previously, the eagle beast had broken through this method under the guidance of the Mountain Sword Sect's ancestor.
The ancient gods had cultivated for a long time. At first, because of the ancestor's obstruction, they were not allowed to enter the Primordial Realm, which delayed their cultivation progress. Later, the Above Heaven Sect was defeated and they joined the Eternals. After so many years, although their cultivation had only increased recently, they had reached the realm long ago.
As the human civilization climbed step by step, the ancient gods could completely let go of themselves. In just a few hundred years, they had completed the process from Ku Ai to Ku Ai Great Perfection, all the way to the Immortality Realm.
Even so, it was still too rushed. After all, how long had they been at Ku Ai Great Perfection?
It was not as long as Qing Xing and the others, who were not in a hurry to break through.
"Breaking through with the help of rebooting the universe and breaking through by oneself are two different concepts. I advised Da Qiang to bear with it, but he still couldn't." Chu Yi sighed.
Lu Yuan said, "It would be strange if he listened to you. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked for trouble."
Jialan Zhiluo's voice was cold. "Da Qiang won't tell us what he's thinking, but we can guess. He thinks that our human civilization has too few Immortality Realms."
"That's not entirely true."
Hongyan Mavis looked into the distance. "He was injured too badly in his early years. Although he recovered, he was not confident that he could break through to the Immortality Realm. You know how difficult it is for Mister Mu to break through. Mister Mu can bear it by himself, but the difficulty lies in returning to his own universe.
Lu Yin looked into the distance. Yes, the ancient god was severely injured by Master Grass and was almost trampled to death by the Eternals. If time had not reversed, he would have died. The hidden danger from such a serious injury would still affect him even if it disappeared with time.
Moreover, not everyone could break through to the Immortality Realm by themselves.
Startle Gate Defense and Blood Tower defense to break through to break through.
This path was even more difficult and there was no end in sight.
Although it was a pity, for an Ancient God, it was most suitable for him to make a breakthrough with the help of the universe's reboot.
The universe rumbled and split open. Parallel space-times were destroyed one after another. Endless eternal matter descended and appeared in the cracks created by the collision of parallel space-times.
The Ancient God leaped up and grabbed the Eternal Life Substance.
Time passed slowly, and the ancient god's aura became infinitely weaker. He began to try his origin and decay.
Lu Yin had seen this scene more than once, and the one that had left the deepest impression on him was Grandmaster Lan Ye. Lan Yuzhou had clearly been compatible with Lan Yuzhou, but he had still failed in the end.
He hoped that the ancient gods would succeed.
Every time the universe was rebooted, it was the most dazzling but also the most silent moment of the universe.
Life had life and death, and the universe was the same.
Humans could view their lives in terms of length and breadth.
So how does the universe view its own life?
Its life depended on living creatures. It was clearly a universe that nurtured countless living creatures, but in the end, it could only allow living creatures to influence its life and death.
If the universe was like this, what about the distance of a square inch?
Time continued to pass, and three years had already passed. The ancient god had been trying Origin and Decay all this time, and the speed at which he grabbed the Eternal Life Matter was very fast.
Lu Yin
Yin watched the Ancient God try again, and he felt uneasy. Lei Gong had been the first person to try breaking through to Eternal Life. Lei Gong's body had tried to decay, but he had never had an origin. He had been reduced to ashes, and before he died, he had roared with unwillingness.
Then Supreme Venerable Lan Ye also died while trying to break through.
Too many people from the Ninefirmaments Universe had died like this.
"Should we stop Senior Ancient God?"
Patriarch Lu Yuan and the others didn't say anything as they looked into the distance.
Stop?
Where was the dignity of the strong?
Where was their dignity?
Ever since they had come into contact with the distance of a square inch, their generation had gradually withdrawn from the stage of history. They were clearly the earliest batch of cultivators from the Tianyuan Universe, but they could only watch as Lu Yin risked his life outside. Those who could stand beside Lu Yin were all from the Ninefirmaments Universe.
What about them?
All of them stayed in the universe, waiting for news in a cowardly manner.
Who could understand their unwillingness?
There was another reason why the strong wanted to break through to Eternal Life, and they were all very clear about it: they wanted to make their generation famous.
They wanted to tell the world that they had once led the Tianyuan Universe, and that they would be able to walk in front of everyone in the future. Whether it was glory or calamity, they could bear it all.
And not just by relying on a child.
How many life and death situations had this child experienced?
It was getting harder and harder to keep up with his footsteps. This was something they couldn't bear.
Even if they died, they had to forge a path.
Not long after, the expressions of Patriarch Lu Yuan and the others changed drastically as they looked into the distance. The Ancient God's body was completely declining.
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. This was bad. If he continued to decline, there would be no possibility of him having an origin. He would turn into ashes and die.
He looked at Patriarch Lu Yuan and the others.
Patriarch Lu Yuan and the others were calm. Although they were uneasy, they still didn't stop him.
The Ancient God was only the first. If he died, they would come one by one until someone could walk the path of Eternal Life.
They were not afraid of death.
"Patriarch!" Lu Yin couldn't help but shout.
Patriarch Lu Yuan gritted his teeth. "Watch."
Lu Yin looked at the Ancient God again. His body was on the verge of collapse.
"Zhu Zi," Chu Yi's voice sounded.
Lu Yin looked over.
Chu Yi looked at him and smiled. "Your determination to protect humanity is the same as our determination to protect you. We are not afraid of death."
Lu Yin's body trembled. He didn't say anything else and waited silently.
His heart calmed down.
Everyone had their own path. He couldn't control others, nor could he change their intentions to protect him.
He wasn't afraid of death, and so were others.
As long as the Ancient God didn't give up, they could only watch. Even if they died, they had to give him his final dignity.
The Ancient God's aura was almost non-existent. Lu Yin was nervous, but Patriarch Lu Yuan and the others were even more nervous.
Just as Lu Yin thought that the Ancient God was definitely going to die, wisps of vitality surged out from his body. Then, like an old tree sprouting, vitality suddenly erupted and rushed into the starry sky.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. It was a success.
Patriarch Lu Yuan and the others gasped for breath. Only at this moment did they relax.
Lu Yin stared at the surface of the Ancient God's body. It wasn't the vitality that surged out from Origin and Decay. Instead, it came from the Sovereign Realm's battle force, just like how he had obtained vitality back then.
Sovereign Realm's battle force could transform into vitality. Lu Yin had forgotten that it had reappeared on the Ancient God's body.
If not for this, the Ancient God would have definitely failed and his body would have turned into ashes.
Fortunately.
In the universe, the Ancient God opened his eyes and ignited his vitality with the Sovereign Realm's battle force. When combined with Origin and Decay in his body, it could make the vitality endless and become the most crucial key to stepping into eternal life. Now that the vitality had been formed, the next step was to comprehend the laws of the universe.
The Eternal Realm was a threshold, and how far one could go depended on the Ancient God's own understanding of the universe. Simply put, it was the realm.
There were two realms when breaking through to the Eternal Realm.
One allowed a creature to step into the Eternal Realm. In other words, the realm was no longer an obstacle to stepping into the Eternal Realm.
The second was how high and far a creature could go in the future. The deeper their understanding of the universe, the wider their future path would be.
Even if one stepped into the Eternal Realm by rebooting the universe, it wasn't impossible to reach the same height as those who broke through to the Eternal Realm on their own. Although it was more difficult and the possibility was extremely slim.
This was the possibility that Startle Gate Shangyu had fused with Mystic Gate Shangyu and Xiuling Shangyu had reached their current combat strength.
In fact, almost all creatures who were compatible with two laws of the universe broke through to the Eternal Realm on their own. Once they broke through, they stood at the peak of one law of the universe. Being able to break through like this proved that they were extremely talented.
However, there were no absolutes in the universe.
Lu Yin didn't believe that all Xian Ling broke through to the Eternal Realm on their own. Those fishing civilizations had so many Eternal Realm experts because many of them relied on absolute means.
The Ancient God's greatest advantage was that he had experienced too much. His life couldn't be said to be brilliant, but it was definitely full of twists and turns. He had experienced a past that ordinary people couldn't imagine.
It had been about 1,500 years since Jiang Feng broke through to the Eternal Realm. The Ancient God became the next existence in the Tian Yuan Universe to break through to the Eternal Realm.
Patriarch Lu Yuan and the others laughed and chatted with each other.
Lu Yin retracted his gaze and looked at Patriarch Lu Yuan and the others. "Patriarch, the Ancient God's breakthrough has helped many people obtain the key to the Eternal Realm. Breaking through to the Eternal Realm will be more certain."
"Battle Qi?" Patriarch Lu Yuan asked.
Lu Yin nodded. If he could tell, so could Patriarch Lu Yuan and the others.
Chu Yi shook his head. "It's not that simple. Firstly, it's extremely difficult to cultivate Battle Qi to the same level as you and Da Qiang. Battle Qi isn't a realm. It can't be cultivated step by step. It requires incomparable tenacity and perseverance. It also requires integrity and integrity."
"To a certain extent, Battle Qi is more difficult to cultivate than realms."
"If two out of ten people can cultivate to the Primordial Realm, then there might only be one person who can cultivate Battle Qi to the Sovereign Realm."
"Secondly, even if one cultivates Battle Qi to this realm, it might not be able to transform into vitality. Zhu Zi, do you still remember how you transformed back then?"
Of course, Lu Yin remembered. He had dared to attack the place where the Eternal Realm was located. He had offended his superiors with shocking boldness.
Battle Qi was boldness. It was a person's lofty aspirations.
Without this lofty aspiration, how could one transform?
The Ancient God's lofty aspiration originated from his belief in the Tian Yuan Universe. It originated from his true fearlessness of death. After breaking through, he naturally reached the Sovereign Realm.
Although the Ancient God was usually quiet, he was actually bolder than anyone else.
People could lie, but strength couldn't.
Whether a person could cultivate Battle Qi to the Sovereign Realm was not something that could be seen from the outside. It depended on the person's heart.
This was similar to the Internal Aspect.
"No matter what, let's give it a try. With so many cultivators, there must be someone who can cultivate it. Even if it's just increasing one Eternal Realm, it's worth it," Hongyan Mavis said.
That was true.
Chu Yi's gaze was complicated. "Battle Qi must be popularized. Let's hope more people succeed."
