This autumn, the autumn leaves were blown into the air and flew across the sky as if they wanted to find their home.

The autumn sky was clear for 10,000 kilometers; it was very beautiful. On this autumn morning, there were bursts of smoke coming from what looked like a farmhouse and a garden.

This place was the country of Zhao. Many of the people who lived here never went far their farms. Not to mention this was a remote place, a small mountain village at the foot of a mountain.

When the autumn wind in the morning dragged the leaves by, bursts of sounds came from the village. There was a group of naughty kids playing and laughing.

There was a red carriage that was surrounded by villagers, and it stopped before a courtyard. The noise reached a peak. It was clear that this family was welcoming a bride.

Rumor that the ancestor of this family was a carpenter, but this generation was a scholar. It was said that he had passed the county exam. However, for some unknown reason, he hadn't gone to the capital, but returned to this place.

Now more than 20 years had passed, and the scholar had become a middle-aged man. He had a son that had also grown up. Today was the joyous day for the child Wang Lin.

Wang Lin had grown up here, so the nearby villagers knew him very well. This child was very unfortunate - he was a mute. He always silently looked into the distance, and no one knew what he was looking at.

When the lively sounds reached a peak, the curtain to the carriage was opened and a woman wearing a red veil walked out. Wang Lin held her hand and the two of them walked into the courtyard.

As for the woman, all the youths in the village adored her. She was the second daughter of the Liu family, a rich family in the area. Ever since she was a child, she was always liked to be with Wang Lin. They two of them were childhood sweethearts, and one would often see those two little fellows looking into the distance.

Now that they had grown up, no one was surprised about them getting married, just a lot of them were envious.

The joyous events in a village were often not as big as those in the towns. They were very simple: the host would arrange a feast and the whole village would come to congratulate them. When the sun set, it would be over.

The remaining time belonged to the newlyweds.

In the new house, a simple and honest Wang Lin raised the veil off his wife's face and saw her breathtakingly beautiful face.

The woman was called Liu Mei.

She blushed as she looked at Wang Lin and laughed.

The meeting of their gazes seemed to penetrate time, as if their gazes had lasted reincarnation after reincarnation until they became eternal.

The day after they got married, Liu Mei was sitting in the courtyard, and opposite of her was Wang Lin. He had a wood carving in his hand. He was carving his wife's most beautiful moment.

Their plain life gave off a sense of warmth. After two years, they had a child. It was a boy, and his name was Wang Ping.

The boy was very smart and an eloquent speaker. As he grew up, the family lived a warm life, and it looked perfect.

Wang Lin had chosen not to study with his father, but to become a carpenter, the occupation passed down from their ancestors. He had decided to live in this small mountain village.

His wife, Liu Mei, had very deep feelings toward their child. She spent almost all her time with Wang Ping. She cooked for him in the mornings, played with him during the day, and read stories to him to coax him to sleep.

After 10 years, when Wang Ping turned 15, he decided to study. He left the small mountain village and headed outside to participate in the county exam.

When he left, he saw his mother sitting in the yard and his father carving the second statue of his mother. The statue was still very beautiful.

Wang Ping successfully passed the exam and went to the capital a few years later. Wang Lin and Liu Mei went with him, and they lived in the capital.

Time unknowingly passed. White appeared in Wang Lin and Liu Mei's hair. Wang Ping had made a name for himself in the capital and found his own path.

At this time, Wang Ping married. His wife had a very nice name: Qing Yi. She was a very beautiful girl who came from a rich family in the capital.

She was very filial to Wang Lin and Liu Mei, and this made them very satisfied but also very emotional. After all, this meant that Wang Ping was going to have his own family and, like a bird that grew up, he would fly high in the sky. Perhaps he wouldn't return home for a long time.

Wang Lin and Liu Mei chose to leave. They left the capital and returned to the calm mountain village to spend their remaining years.

After returning to their old home in the village, Wang Lin carved the third statue for Liu Mei. This carving contained traces of time but was still very beautiful.

Life was very calm and nothing special happened. Wang Lin enjoyed these days greatly. Although he hadn't said a word to her in this lifetime, they continued to watch the sun rise and set. There was a sense of warmth, and the amount of white hair on their heads increased.

Time passed in this warmth. This year, when the autumn leaves flew across the sky, Wang Lin and Liu Mei had become old. Their child, Wang Ping, would occasionally come back during the years, but he never stayed for too long before quickly leaving.

The two elders were sitting inside the yard. Liu Mei smiled and looked at Wang Lin. On the other side, Wang Lin was holding a carving in his hand. He looked at Liu Mei and was perhaps making the last carving in his life.

The wood carving gradually took shape in Wang Lin's hands, and Liu Mei's appearance slowly appeared. However, this was not the current white-haired Liu Mei, but Liu Mei the day after they were married. It was very beautiful.

"I know that even though you haven't spoken to me your entire life, you're not a mute…" Liu Mei looked at Wang Lin as he slowly worked on the carving. Her eyes were filled with tenderness.

Wang Lin looked up at Liu Mei and smiled. He shook his head and still didn't speak.

On the third day after the carving was finished, Liu Mei fell ill. She was lying in bed and her old face still contained the beauty of her youth. She held Wang Lin's hand and didn't let go.

"I know you're not a mute…

"I still remember when we met as children. You were looking at the sky. I was very curious about why you were looking at the sky, so I went next to you to look as well.

"However, I didn't see anything. When I left, you suddenly spoke. The first thing you said to me was… you remember, I also remember…" Liu Mei looked at Wang Lin, and her gaze was as gentle as water.

"You said to me that I'm your wife… You're my husband… This is our destined fate," Liu Mei murmured, and her smile became even more gentle. She looked at Wang Lin as if she was immersed in her memories.

Wang Lin also laughed, he held Liu Mei's hand and didn't let go.

The two of them looked at each other like this. Liu Mei continued to talk. She talked about a lifetime of things, talked about her youth, talked about herself after their marriage, talked about after having Wang Ping.

"Ping Er is a good child, but he has grown up and he has his own path… We can't let him stay here for the rest of his life… When I leave, you will be alone, so you have to take care of him," Liu Mei murmured.

Wang Lin shook his head. He looked at Liu Mei with a gentle expression.

Liu Mei continued to talk as the night passed and the morning sun rose. The autumn wind blew and the yellow leaves danced in the sky. Liu Mei's eyes were suddenly filled with confusion and her grip on Wang Lin's hand became even harder.

Her wrinkle-covered face became red and it was as if time had reversed. Her weak body was injected with life.

"I saw it… Wang Lin, I saw it…" She struggled to get up, and her face was filled with joy. She pointed out the window and quickly spoke to Wang Lin.

"I saw exactly what was in the sky back when we were kids, I really saw it! In the sky, there was a you and a me...

"I saw it… We are cultivators… I… I…." Liu Mei suddenly stopped and tears flowed from her eyes. She saw a scene that made her heart ache.

"I… How can this be…" Even more tears flowed from Liu Mei's eyes.

Wang Lin pulled Liu Mei and said the first words since they married. "It's all in the past…" His voice was hoarse but gentle.

That night, Wang Ping returned with his wife after resigning from his official post so he could come home and accompany his parents. In the room, he saw his parents looking like they were sleeping with smiles. They had passed away.

He stood before his parents for a long time before tears flowed down his face… The faces of his parents and memories of his childhood appeared in his mind.

He buried his parents. Wang Ping and Qing Yi lived in this old house until years passed, until they grew old, until they closed their eyes.

Inside the cave, Thirteen was guarding Wang Lin and Liu Mei, who had been sitting there with their eyes closed. There was a bead rotating between them. The bead gave off a light that seemed to connect to the two of them.

On this day, Wang Lin opened his eyes and looked at the woman beside him for a long time.

The woman's eyes trembled and tears fell. She opened her eyes and looked at Wang Lin. Their gazes met like in the dream dao, and this seemed to last for an eternity.

"It is over…" Mu Bingmei muttered.

"It's over. Close your eyes. When you open them again, everything will begin anew…" Wang Lin whispered. He knew that the woman before him had very complicated feelings towards him. However, how matter how complicated these feelings were, she could not let them go.

Mu Bingmei stared at Wang Lin. She didn't know what Wang Lin meant, but she obediently closed her eyes. This stopped her tears from flowing.

"Open your eyes…" A familiar voice came from before her.

When she opened her eyes, she saw it.

Mu Bingmei left.

She left the cave and left planet Suzaku, but she didn't leave alone. There was a man by her side. He had white clothes and white hair but an ordinary appearance. However, he gave off an unspeakable temperament that made everyone feel very comfortable. He pulled Mu Bingmei's hand like in the dream and didn't let go.

He faintly heard Mu Bingmeis words in the sky.

"You… Are you an avatar or your original body…"

Wang Lin looked at Mu Bingmei and softly said, "I'm Wang Lin and I'm by your side."

Mu Bingmei looked at Wang Lin and gradually revealed a smile. This smile was very beautiful and very happy.

They left planet Suzaku, and it was unknown where they went.

After they turned into a ray of light, they disappeared into the distance. In a place far away, they could not see Wang Lin looking at them with a smile.

Avatar or original body? Only Wang Lin knew this answer.

Perhaps the person that had left was Wang Lin's avatar and the one watching them leave was his original body. Or perhaps… it was the opposite!

There was no answer.

Thirteen also left. He had spent his life chasing Wang Lin's footsteps. Now Wang Lin made him fly alone. When a bird grows, they must face the wind and rain alone. Only when he can see the rainbow in the wind and rain can he grow up to be a man that can support the world.

They all left… Only Wang Lin stayed on planet Suzaku. Before going into the dream with Liu Mei, he had gone to see his parents, and now he went again before going to the original home he and Li Muwan had.

The valley had been lost to time, but he restored it.

In the valley, Wang Lin settled down and was accompanied by Li Muwan. He held Li Muwan, and together they counted reincarnations. It was as it had always been like this for a long time.

In this loneliness, he immersed himself in this inner peace and experienced warmth.

Time passed year by year. In spring, as everything recovered, Wang Lin planted a lot of flowers. He watched the flowers bloom, he watched the summer rainfall, he watched the autumn wind play songs of time, he watched the snow that drifted by in the winter.

Wang Lin continued to be accompanied by Li Muwan, and there were zither music echoing in his ears as if he had gone back thousands of years into the past.

10 years, 10 years, 10 years… Wang Lin lived in this calm valley for 70 years.

He accompanied Li Muwan. Here, he had forgotten everything. He didn't consider his own cultivation level, didn't think about comprehending essences, and didn't consider all the conspiracies and lies. In his eyes, there was only Li Muwan. In his mind, only this figure existed. And in his ears, only the sound of the zither from back then remained.

In the 200th year after Wang Lin returned to the cave world, a guest came to Wang Lin's valley. This guest was a bald man. He looked exactly the same as he did in the past and there was no change.

He appeared from the world and stood outside the valley for a long time. He watched the sea of flowers in the valley, he looked at the cabin inside the sea of flowers, and he looked at the lonely figure sitting before the cabin.

The man let out a sigh and revealed a melancholy expression.

He held a wine jug in his hand. With a sigh, he went through the valley, through the sea of flowers, and arrived at Wang Lin's side. He looked at Wang Lin for a long time before he sat down opposite of him.

Wang Lin opened his eyes and looked at the bald man before him. He gradually smiled.

"You came."

The bald man silently nodded.

"I couldn't forget…" A moment later, the bald man handed the jug of wine to Wang Lin and took out another one. He took a big gulp and the wine flowed down from the corner of his mouth and onto his clothes.

"I never wanted to forget, so there's no such thing as 'couldn't forget.'" Wang Lin took the jug of wine and took a sip.

"You are tormenting yourself." The bald man looked at Wang Lin with a complicated gaze.

"Tormenting…" Wang Lin muttered. He drank the wine and didn't say more.

The bald man shook his head and softly said, "Forget it… You won't succeed. If this continues, you will be tired and Wan Er will be tired…"

Wang Lin looked at the sky. After pondering for a bit, he slowly said, "Should I call you 'Mo Zhi' or another name."

The bald man was the person who had said to Wang Lin "Hearts Dead, Already Forgotten" in the rainy temple back then!

"Mo Zhi… this has always been my name." The bald man sighed.

"Wang Lin, you should have guessed all the answers. I can tell you… You…" Mo Zhi was about to speak.

"Don't say it, let me ponder some matters myself." Wang Lin shook his head. He took the wine jug and drank a big mouthful.

"Drink wine with me… We haven't met in a long time." Wang Lin smiled and looked at Mo Zhi.

The bald man silently pondered and drank wine with Wang Lin until night came, until dawn came, and the two didn't say a word.

When the sun appeared at the edge of the sky again, Mo Zhi stood up. He looked at Wang Lin and let out a sigh.

"I'm leaving… I hope you can succeed…" He didn't advise Wang Lin anymore but turned to leave. When he was about to walk out of the valley, he stopped but didn't turn around. He had his back toward Wang Lin.

"Teacher told me to ask you when you will return the Defying Earth Realm's boundary compass…" Mo Zhi's voice echoed in the valley. After he spoke, he walked out of the valley and disappeared.

Wang Lin still sat there and drank wine. He didn't say a word about Mo Zhi's words or departure.

He had long understood some things, but he knew that he was himself and was named Wang Lin. He was born on planet Suzaku and was the son of a carpenter. He grew up in a small mountain village.

Step by step, he tread the path of cultivation and reached his current state.

Resurrecting Li Muwan was his own decision, but not something due to the influence or interference from another reincarnation. It was his own choice.

"I'm me…" There was no confusion in Wang Lin's eyes - they were completely clear.

"Whether it's Mo Zhi or Red Butterfly, even Mo Zhi's teacher and the All-Seer… They all think that this world, the cave world, the Celestial Realm were all formed by my dream dao and are not real…" Wang Lin murmured. He had long came to an understanding about these matters.

"However, is it really like this…" Wang Lin smiled faintly. He stood up as he looked at the sky and his eyes shined brightly.

"All-Seer, do you really think I don't know your origin?" Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he looked into the sky. He seemed to be able to see past the sky, past the Celestial Realm, past the endless darkness to see a figure in black with very long hair and an aura of slaughter and destruction coming from afar.

The figure's destination was the Immortal Astral Continent.

"All-Seer, the answer to everything is not you telling me the truth in the Immemorial God Realm, but me telling you the truth! I'll let you know what the real truth is!" Wang Lin waved his sleeve and a skull appeared.

This skull belong to the Ji Qiong.

The skull flashed and a small line of words appeared on it, but it soon disappeared.

"You're all wrong…" Wang Lin withdrew his gaze and smiled as he returned to the wooden house. He looked at Li Muwan sleeping there and sat down next to her. His gaze was gentle as he watched her sleep.

"Wan Er, you will wake up… Because I have already found the real way… And I already began the preparations in the Ancient Shi Ancestral Temple."

There was a trace of madness in Wang Lin's eyes. This method was indeed very crazy!

Time gradually passed and the seasons changed. Wang Lin remained in the valley, accompanying Li Muwan all these years. This kind of quiet life was very rare for Wang Lin, aside from when he turned into a mortal or in his dream dao.

As he accompanied Li Muwan, he talked about his memories and was immersed in his own world.

Over the years, Thirteen had returned several times. Each time, he would accompany Wang Lin for several months before he left to continue his own life and cultivation.

Xu Liguo and Liu Jinbiao had used some unknown method to actually find Zhong Big Red. The three of them worked together, doing as they wished in the cave world, and were extremely happy.

Their bodies had been reborn on the Immortal Astral Continent, so they could leave and come as they wished by borrowing Wang Lin's power to pass through the gate. With Wang Lin's current cultivation level, Zhong Big Red could do this as well. After sweeping the cave world, the three of them, along with the sea dragon that had taken a liking to this as well, left the cave world. They began their own legendary experience on the Immortal Astral Continent.

However, before they left, Xu Liguo's group of three came to Wang Lin to serve and flatter him. Finally, Wang Lin laughed. He left his aura and imprint on them to keep them safe. The three of them left with excitement.

With Wang Lin as the tiger skin and the combat power of the sea dragon, they were confident they could deceive anyone in the Immortal Astral Continent!

On the 60th year after Xu Liguo and company left, Wang Lin brought Li Muwan out of the valley and left planet Suzaku. They left the cave world and headed to the Immortal Astral Continent.

Before he left, his divine sense saw the Celestial Realm and he saw the cultivators there learning the dao he had left. He saw Thirteen and a lot of old friends.

He withdrew his divine sense and took a final glance at the cave world.

There were three more months before the Immemorial God Realm would open. That place would be Wang Lin's final battle.

"When I walk leave the Immemorial God Realm, Wan Er, you will accompany me…" Wang Lin murmured as he stepped through the gate of the cave world and disappeared.

Wang Lin left.

He disappeared from the cave world. In Allheaven, on an ordinary planet, there was a woman. She wore purple and her hair reached her waist. Her hair was being blown by the wind and her dress gave off a sense of elegance.

She looked at the sky. Under the sun, if you looked closely, you would see the beautiful brow on her face. She was filled with confusion. She felt a divine sense arrive and pause beside her for a moment before leaving.

She originally thought it was all an illusion, but when the divine sense disappeared, a jade appeared before her. The jade quietly floated there and emitted a gentle light.

She was Xi Zifeng.

She stared at the jade before her. As the gentle light shined, it revealed a familiar aura. This aura was like a dream and was something she could never forget.

"Wang Lin…" Xi Zifeng silently pondered for a long time before she reached for the jade. She held the jade in her hand and closed her eyes. Her divine sense entered the jade, and inside was Wang Lin's voice.

After a long time, when Xi Zifeng finally opened her eyes, she revealed a gentle smile. The smile was very beautiful.

Also in the cave world, in a desolate star system in the Outer Realm, there were large amounts of rocks floating there. They seemed to follow them strange law and slowly rotated in a huge arc.

On the large rock in the center sat an old man. His face was ruddy and he was calmly cultivating. Every time he breathed, a ray of grey light would leave his body, enter the rock, and then it would spread out to be absorbed by the other rocks.

There were no rocks here before he came, but when the old man arrived on a certain day, more and more of these rocks appeared, as if they were formed by his spell...

This old man was the cracked stone statue in the depths of the Wind Celestial Realm. If not for him, Wang Lin's battle against Daoist Water would have been even more dangerous.

At this moment, the old man's eyes were closed and he was quietly cultivating to force the power that had been turning his body into stone out of his body. All the rocks here were born because of this.

"I only need 300 more years to fully recover… Then I can leave here and return… home…" The old man opened his eyes. It was as if his gaze could penetrate the void to see the vast star system.

He was not a cultivator of the cave world, he was from the Immortal Astral Continent, from the Seven Dao Sect… In fact, he was just a disciple of Seven-Colored Celestial Sovereign.

As he muttered, he felt a bit unwilling to leave the cave world, as he had been here for a long time. After pondering for a moment, he let out a sigh and closed his eyes again. When he went back to cultivating, a powerful divine sense swept by.

The power of this divine sense shocked this old man. He clearly knew that unless the owner wanted him to detect it, he would never be able to feel this divine sense arrive.

To him, the power of this divine sense was comparable to heaven's might.

The divine sense swept by and didn't stop, but after it disappeared, leaving the old man feeling uncertain about the situation, a pill appeared before him.

The pill was completely red and gave off a shocking power of the world. Just from smelling the fragrance of the pill, the petrifying force inside his body was suppressed.

Looking at the pill and recalling the divine sense, the old man gradually felt a trace of familiarity. After pondering for a moment, he muttered to himself.

"It's him…"

At this moment, as Wang Lin left the cave world, the eyes of the sleeping baby inside a planet in the Outer Star System trembled as if he was going to awaken.

But after a long time, he still didn't open his eyes and gradually calmed down back to sleep. Endless spiritual energy gathered from inside and outside the planet toward the baby, acting as nutrients for him to grow.

Before him was a jade formed by divine sense. This jade was not corporeal but seemed to alternate between illusionary and solid. It quietly floated there, waiting for the baby to wake up and see it.

This cultivation planet the baby was in was extremely ordinary and didn't look strange at all. If there was anything strange, it was that it looked like an eyeball if one looked at it from afar.

The mountain ranges on the planet looked like the blood veins, the vast seas were like the white around the pupil, and the continent looked like the pupil

Wang Lin had been here before. He not only saw the baby Tuo Sen, but also the planet Tuo Sen had found to sleep in.

After Wang Lin left, the cave world became calm. It was like someone growing stronger. A force almost no one could detect filled the cave world after Wang Lin left.

This force could protect this place for generations so incidents like Master Scarlet Soul would never happen again.

On the Immortal Astral Continent, in the Heavenly Bull Continent, there was a mountain surrounded by fog. On this day, a powerful force rushed out and endless crystal light spread in all directions.

After the light scattered, Wang Lin slowly walked out of the gate to the cave world with his white hair and white robe.

The last 300 years had passed in the blink of an eye. Wang Lin looked at the world of the Immortal Astral Continent and silently walked forward.

"Seven Dao Sect…" Wang Lin muttered to himself. Before he left, he waved his sleeve and a gust of wind swept across the Seven Dao Sect. The ruin dissipated and was replaced by a powerful sect.

"This place will become the home for everyone who comes out of the cave world…" Wang Lin murmured as he reached toward the sky. In an instant, nearly 20 clumps of light appeared and scattered in all directions.

These nearly 20 clumps of light appeared in many different places across the Immortal Astral Continent.

Qing Shui was walking through the desert when he seemed to notice something and looked up. A clump of light flew into his body. His body trembled and, a moment later, he opened his eyes with a smile.

Master Hong Shan was flying through the sky, and before him was a ray of sword light with an old man inside. The old man's expression was ferocious, but there was a fear underneath as he escaped at full speed.

Master Hong Shan was pursuing with a gloomy expression. At this moment, the clump of light entered his body and made him look toward the direction of the Heavenly Bull Continent. His gloomy expression softened, but he chased even faster.

Qing Lin, Zhou Ru, Red Butterfly, Zhou Yi, and almost everyone from the cave world got the clump of light and felt the existence of the Seven Dao Sect. Even if they were still mortals, the memories of the Seven Dao Sect would slowly awaken in the future.

Wang Lin took one last look at the Seven Dao Sect before he set a powerful formation around it. This formation was comparable to the one he had set in the cave world. Even if he didn't make it out of the Immemorial God Realm, he could still ensure the safety of the cave world and protect the existence of the Seven Dao Sect.

After doing all of this, Wang Lin didn't look back and walked toward the sky until he became transparent and disappeared.

"300 years of time is multiple lifetimes for mortals, but for cultivators, it's not long… The madman became the Celestial Emperor and Ji Du became the Ancient Shi Emperor. I wonder how they are doing…" Wang Lin muttered to himself.

"And… Li Qianmei, where exactly are you…" Wang Lin sighed. He could guess that Li Qianmei had awakened her memories herself like Qing Shui. He could also guess the reason she wouldn't see him.

"Silently blessing me…" Wang Lin looked up into the distant sky. He always remembered Li Qianmei's words and the story of the bird and the fish.

After a long time, Wang Lin closed his eyes and walked toward the direction of the Ancient clan.

"I once promised Gu Dao that I'd enter the Immemorial God Realm from the Ancient clan's side." Wang Lin remembered the promise from back then. He traveled through the celestial clan for a few days and arrived at the edge of the basin that was the vast sea. Then he walk toward the center, where the sea storm was located.

Before he got close, he could hear the thunderous rumbles that churned the sky and made the sky dark. It had been 300 years since the sea storm had formed, and now it seemed even more violent than before.

As the thunderous rumbles echoed across the world, the sea storm rotated rapidly and set off large amounts of ripples. They looked like waves that were floating in the air that continued to hit each other and seemed to be rushing into the sky. Inside the sea storm were nine huge pillars that gave off nine different colors of light. The light filled the entire sea storm and was reflected by the sea storm, making it look like a nine-colored dream.

This dream carried a sense of mystery that would force one to immerse themselves into it and prevent them from extracting themselves. Due to the various rumors about the Immemorial God Realm on the Immortal Astral Continent, there were many people here. They were filled with desire, the desire to become stronger.

Wang Lin stood on the side of the sea storm and he didn't hesitate to walk through it. He appeared on the Ancient clan side and calmly sat down to wait for the Immemorial God Realm to open in a few months.

As the time slowly approached, the celestial clan and Ancient clan awakened like two ferocious beasts that had been sleeping and erupted with their peak power after preparing for hundreds of years.

In the celestial clan, the armies formed by the many sects utilized the rarely-used transfer arrays to arrive at the vast basin.

In the direction of the Ancient clan, the countless soldiers led by the three ancient emperors also arrived through transfer arrays.

No one knew if this war was going to begin or not. It depended on which side would have a new Grand Empyrean, or even which Grand Empyrean could climb to a greater height.

These were the key conditions for a war to begin!

If a balance could be kept, it would be fine. But if the balance was broken, this war would be inevitable since the celestial clan had already guessed that Grand Empyrean Gu Dao couldn't leave the Ancient clan.

Unless the Ancient clan retreated and did not dare to fight outside of Gu Dao's range!

No one knew when the Immemorial God Realm came into existence; it seems to be even older than the Immortal Astral Continent. Even the Celestial Ancestor and Ancient Ancestor, who were born from the void, didn't know too much about the Immemorial God Realm.

Wang Lin sat on the side of the sea storm and looked at the gate formed by the huge pillars. The gate was shut tightly and was about to open soon.

Wang Lin was in no rush. He had waited for thousands of years and wasn't worried about several months.

However, there was a question in his heart.

"I wonder what the Immemorial God Realm would be like I hadn't initiated that crazy plan in the Ancient Shi ancestral temple…" Wang Lin silently pondered about this for a long time, but it was a question without an answer.

Wang Lin waited for the Immemorial God Realm to open. It was now one month before the opening, and three rays of light came from the Ancient clan. It was the three Grand Empyreans from the Ancient clan.

Song Tian, Xuan Luo, and the mysterious Ancient Ji Grand Empyrean.

The t hree rays of light instant closed in and turned into three figures before Wang Lin. Song Tian looked at Wang Lin with a complicated expression. He clasped his hands at Wang Lin and was extremely respectful.

"Song Tian greets Lord Wang."

The Ancient Ji Grand Empyrean also silently pondered and respectfully clasped his hands at Wang Lin.

They had already learned 300 years ago the strongest person on the Immortal Astral Continent was no longer Grand Empyrean Gu Dao, but the person called Wang Lin that was before them.

After witnessing that battle 300 years ago, they had personally asked Grand Empyrean Gu Dao. They got the same answer as what they had seen.

Xuan Luo was a lot older than before, but he had a smile on his face. He looked at his former disciple and felt happy that Wang Lin could become this strong.

He was about to clasp his hands along with Song Tian. After all, on the Immortal Astral Continent, the strong were respected.

However, just as they arrived, Wang Lin got up. If only Song Tian and Ancient Ji Grand Empyrean had come, he wouldn't be doing this. However, with Xuan Luo here, Wang Lin didn't hesitate to bow to Xuan Luo first.

"Wang Lin greets Teacher."

When Song Tian and the Ancient Ji Grand Empyrean saw this, they were shocked. They had seen too many teacher-disciple pairs where the disciple betrayed the teacher. There were also many occasions where the disciple became stronger and no longer respected their teacher. Even if some did, it was only on the surface.

However, Wang Lin's sincerity could be clearly felt by the two of them. As the strongest person on the Immortal Astral Continent, it was normal for Xuan Luo to bow to Wang Lin. They had also severed their teacher-disciple relationship back at the Ancient Dao palace.

Wang Lin looked at Xuan Luo, at his teacher, who looked older. How could he make his teacher bow to him? Even if he was the strongest person on the Immortal Astral Continent and might become even stronger in the future, he could not be ungrateful and make Xuan Luo bow to him.

Xuan Luo opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he smiled and nodded at Wang Lin in the end.

It was due to Wang Lin's respect to Xuan Luo in the next few days that Song Tian and the Ancient Ji Grand Empyrean treated Xuan Luo somewhat differently. They should've been equals, but they now treated Xuan Luo with a hint of respect.

To make Wang Lin, who was the strongest person on the Immortal Astral Continent and had defeated Gu Dao, call him teacher was enough to change everything.

On the 15th day before the Immemorial God Realm's opening, there was a shocking change to the sea storm. The sea storm expanded several times and the thunderous rumble became deafening. The sound was loud enough to kill mortals, and even some of the weaker cultivators could not bear it. Those who were mildly affected would end up with injuries to the heart and body, while the serious cases would have their bodies explode.

Every time the Immemorial God Realm opened, no weak cultivators would come to venture inside. This was mostly due to these thunderous rumbles.

Under these thunderous rumbles, weaker cultivators could not get close at all, and as time passed, they would only become even more intense. In the end, the heaven-shattering rumbles would kill anyone below the third step.

Even protection treasures would have no effect here.

On the last day, the thunderous rumbles could sweep anyone under the Void Tribulant stage, and thus, the people who could come here were few.

As the thunderous rumbles echoed, the nine-colored light pierced through the sea storm, went into the sky, and shrouded the earth. The nine-colored light turned into a blade-like aura and swept the area.

Wang Lin's expression was calm. He clearly saw the gate formed by the nine pillars loosen. The thunderous rumbles were precisely due to the gate loosening.

It was as if a power was smashing the gate, wanting to rush out.

Xuan Luo looked at the sea storm and slowly said to Wang Lin, "Something is wrong…

"The last time the Immemorial God Realm opened, it only got this strong one week before it opened, but now it's early by a week…" Xuan Luo frowned.

"As a result, the Immemorial God Realm's roars will last even longer than before and will become even more intense… Even clan members who have 27 stars and have fully integrated the three powers will not be able to come…" Xuan Luo revealed a worried expression.

Wang Lin looked at the sea storm. He had lived in the Ancient clan for a long time and knew that a full 27-star clan member that had fully integrated the three powers was comparable to a Golden Exalt.

In the past, when the Immemorial God Realm opened, both sides would send a large amount of Void Tribulant cultivators in to test their luck.

However, those people were not important - the important people were the Golden Exalts, Empyrean Exalts, and the most important ones were the Ascendant Empyreans.

However, the thunderous rumbles had come one week early… did this mean that an accident would occur one week from now? Xuan Luo was somewhat hesitant.

Wang Lin withdrew his gaze from the sea storm. He looked back and could feel hundreds of Ancient clan members rushing over. Based on their speed, they should all arrive in three days.

Time passed day by day. On the second day, the rumbles intensified. On the third day, they become even stronger.

The rumbles caused the world to become unstable. Song Tian and Ancient Ji Grand Empyrean became gloomy and anxious.

At noon of the third day, only 12 days before the opening of the Immemorial God Realm, Wang Lin's calm voice clearly entered the ears of Song Tian and company even in this thunderous rumble.

"The celestial clan's Grand Empyreans have arrived."

Shortly after, on the other side of the sea storm, three rays of light arrived. Only Jiu Di, Wu Feng, and Dao Yi had come. As for Gemini, she hadn't come. She had chosen to remain in the celestial clan.

The temptation of the Immemorial God Realm didn't affect Gemini too much. She thought for a long time and ended up choosing to act as backup.

As for Lian Daofei, who had become the Celestial Emperor, he had also chosen not to come.

After Ji Du and company came, they immediately noticed that the roars today were different from the past. They thought for a while and their expressions became gloomy. Like Xuan Luo and company, they also felt like something was wrong.

The three of them looked at each other and then their faces followed the sea storm to see Xuan Luo and company, along with the calm Wang Lin.

"Dao Yi greets Lord Wang." Dao Yi didn't hesitate to respectfully clasp his hands.

"Greetings, Lord Wang." Wu Feng's expression was calm. It seemed like 300 years of time had made him accept reality.

Ji Du hesitated a bit before he let out a sigh and also clasped his hands at Wang Lin, but he didn't say anything.

Wang Lin nodded and smiled at Wu Feng.

"Long time no see."

"It has been hundreds of years. I didn't expect Lord Wang Lin's cultivation level to reach such a degree…" When Wu Feng saw Wang Lin acting like this, his heart warmed slightly.

As the two of them talked, hundreds of rays of light appeared in the sky behind Xuan Luo. The rays of light moved very fast - they were people chosen to enter the Immemorial God Realm.

At the same time, a giant transfer array appeared behind Jiu Di and hundreds of figures walked out. Wang Lin had seen most of them at the Empyrean Trial.

Almost as soon as they appeared, it was as if their auras made this place unstable. The rumbles from the sea storm became even more intense, as if the world was trembling and ready to collapse. Even spatial rifts began to appear and disappear in this area.

This scene caused the expressions of the six Grand Empyreans to change.

The sea storm continued to rumble, intensifying several folds. It caused a large amount of spatial rifts to appear in the surrounding area. It was like a ghostly cry, howling while carrying a sharp and shocking force that could destroy one's body. It spread out in all directions from the center of the sea storm.

The hundreds of people from the Ancient clan had just arrived and looked at the sea storm before them. They could clearly feel the destructive aura from it that could easily destroy them.

This force was enough to make all living things tremble in fear. However, this didn't include Wang Lin and the six Grand Empyreans. At their cultivation levels, they all had varying degrees of resistance to this rumbling… It was no problem for them.

Wang Lin ignored the rumbles. When this sound entered his ears, it didn't cause his heart to tremble at all. It was as if this sound wasn't qualified to make his heart tremble, even if it were countless times stronger.

After cultivating to his cultivation level, forget the Immortal Astral Continent, even in the vast space outside the Immortal Astral Continent, very few things could shock him.

However, the six Grand Empyreans were not the same. Although they weren't affected by these rumbles as much, they knew that many of the people behind them could not bear it.

Song Tian didn't hesitate. The moment the rumbles intensified, he moved before the Ancient clan members. He waved his sleeve and a giant sun appeared behind him. He was using his Grand Empyrean power to help the people behind him resist the rumbles.

Xuan Luo and the Ancient Ji Grand Empyrean did the same. With the three of them working together, they were able to ensure the hundreds of panicking Ancient clan members weren't injured or forced back.

The celestial clan was the same. Jiu Du and company acted at the same time to protect the hundreds of celestial cultivators from the rumble.

Only Wang Lin quietly sat there and calmly looked at the sea storm.

He didn't act to help anyone, there was no point.

Wang Lin had already knew what would happen 12 days from now. He looked at the people of the two sides and closed his eyes.

"There are 12 days until the gate opens, but the rumbles are as intense as two days before the Immemorial God Realm opened in the past…"

"If this continues, I fear they will be unable to stay!"

"The Immemorial God Realm is strange, it is very different from the past!"

The six Grand Empyreans on both sides of the sea storm looked at each other, and their expressions became gloomy.

As the six of them continued to resist, time passed once more. Every day, the rumbling of the storm would become more violent. When it was only nine days before the Immemorial God Realm's opening, the rumbles spread across the entire vast basin. Even the edges of the basin connected to the Ancient clan and the celestial clan could hear the rumbles.

At dusk nine days before the opening, the rumbles reached an indescribable degree.

Even the six Grand Empyreans at full power felt like they could not resist anymore.

The rumbles were enough to make the sky shatter and cracks appear on the earth. The hundreds of people protected by the six Grand Empyreans bled from their orifices.

"There are still nine more days! It is impossible to resist any longer. Right now, it is as intense as the last day before the Immemorial God Realm opened in the past. If this continues, people will die tomorrow and we will be injured before even going in!"

"I fear we can't allow this many people to enter the Immemorial God Realm this time…" Wu Feng quickly said, and Dao Yi silently nodded.

Jiu Di clenched his teeth and sent out a divine message.

"All cultivators below Golden Exalt, quickly retreat and quickly transfer out of the vast basin!"

As his words echoed, on the Ancient clan's side, Song Tian and company also made a decision. Out of the hundreds of people they were guarding, those that hadn't successfully passed the three trials and seven calamities all quickly left the center of this rumbling.

A moment later, less than 100 people remained on each side of the storm, and because there were fewer people, the pressure on the six Grand Empyreans reduced greatly.

This was all seen by Wang Lin. He still silently pondered and didn't do anything. He looked at the sea storm and saw the gap in the gate formed by the nine pillars became a bit bigger.

In a flash, three days passed. There were only six more days until the Immemorial God Realm opened. The rumbling from the gate became even more intense than three days ago. This had never happened before during the Immemorial God Realm's opening. This caused the six Grand Empyreans to become very anxious.

They could not endure it anymore. They had to reduce the people, or else they would be affected as well.

"Wang Lin!" Xuan Luo looked toward Wang Lin. This was the first time he had spoken to Wang Lin since the rumbles from the sea storm began. In truth, Song Tian and the Ancient Ji Grand Empyrean had long pinned their hopes on Wang Lin. They were just confused about why Gu Dao still hadn't come.

However, now was not the time to think about this matter. After they heard Xuan Luo speak, they immediately looked at Wang Lin.

"Teacher…" Wang Lin stood up and looked at Xuan Luo, who was using his full strength to resist the rumbling.

"Teacher, it's useless. In the end, they will not be able to enter. Even you all… won't be able to enter…" Wang Lin softly said, but he still raised his right hand and waved at the less than 100 people being guarded by Xuan Luo and company.

With this wave, Xuan Luo and company suddenly felt the pressure disappear, as if the rumbling was gone. The nearly 100 people all recovered from the pain they were suffering.

"Gu Dao should have already noticed this, so he didn't appear to forcibly intervene."

Xuan Luo and company remained silent. They also felt the strangeness of this opening of the Immemorial God realm. There were still six days remaining, and they found it difficult to imagine how intense the rumbling would become then. It was likely that even they would have to retreat.

The Ancient clan had Wang Lin's protection, but on the celestial clan's side, under Jiu Di and company's protection, they had to reduce the amount of people.

"Golden Exalt cultivators… Empyrean Exalt cultivators, back down and quickly transfer away!" As Jiu Di's voice echoed, a majority of the almost 100 cultivators silently pondered. They looked at the sea storm with regret as they left one by one, leaving only 11 people.

Not all Ascendent Empyreans had come. These 11 people were the Ascendant Empyreans that had chosen to come.

Only six days left.

During these six days of time, it was painful to endure for everyone beside Wang Lin. Although the Ancient clan had many people, Wang Lin's words made them hesitant.

When three more days passed and only three days remained, the rumbling was several times stronger than when the Immemorial God Realm opened in the past. On the celestial clan's side, the 11 Ascendant Empyreans unwillingly left and chose to transfer out of the vast basin.

Jiu Di and company sat together. Without the need to shelter the Ascendant Empyreans, they could use their full strength to resist the rumbles of the sea storm, so now they could last longer.

Looking at what had happened on the celestial clan's side, Xuan Luo and company felt bitter in their hearts. They had a hunch that what Wang Lin had said was true.

If not for Wang Lin helping earlier, they would be the same as the other side, with only three of them remaining.

The last three days were the most difficult three days. One day unknowingly passed, and just as the day passed, the sea storm became 100 times more intense!

This caused the world to collapse into countless fragments, and the world became a void. Jiu Di and company turned pale and they didn't hesitate to link their divine senses to resist it with their combined power.

The Ancient clan was still as calm as before. Xuan Luo and the others felt like nothing had happened. However, looking at the other side made them gain a new understanding of how powerful Wang Lin was.

When there were only two days left until the Immemorial God Realm's opening Gu Dao arrived.

His arrival was silent, as if he had always here. He walked out of the void and sat down next to Wang Lin. He looked at the sea storm and let out a sigh.

"Xuan Luo, the three of you stay and the rest of you leave." After he spoke, he waved his right hand at the nearly 100 Ancient clan members, and they slowly disappeared.

Wang Lin looked at Gu Dao and didn't speak. He continued to look at the sea storm. The gap in the stone gate was even bigger now, and there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

At this moment, there were only eight people remaining outside the sea storm. They were surrounded by the void as the world had collapsed around them. When the day passed and it was the last day before the gate's opening the rumbles formed a vortex. As the vortex rotated rapidly, it caused Jiu Di and company to cough out blood. They retreated unwillingly and knew in their hearts that they had reached their limit.

Dao Yi was the first to clench his teeth and leave, followed by a helpless Wu Feng. Only Jiu Di revealed a distorted expression as the veins on his face swelled. He wanted to continue to resist.

However, he only lasted two more hours before he disappeared with a bitter expression.

Jiu Di was unwilling as he helplessly left. As his figure gradually disappeared, there were only five people left outside the sea storm.

Gu Dao looked at the sea storm and slowly said, "You all leave now. The rumbling on the last day will even require my full effort to resist. Even when it finally opens, you all won't be able to enter the Immemorial God Realm...

"I just noticed this several days ago."

Xuan Luo and company silently pondered and then bowed at Gu Dao. After seeing Jiu Du and them leave, they knew that this opening of the Immemorial God Realm was not something they could participate in.

Just as they were about to leave, Wang Lin got up and walked toward Xuan Luo.

"Teacher."

Xuan Luo looked up at Wang Lin and smiled.

"Teacher is about to reincarnate soon. Disciple is about to enter the Immemorial God Realm. If I come out safely, I'll go protect Teacher's reincarnation… If I don't, Teacher can still reincarnate safely with this." Wang Lin looked at Xuan Luo and reached at the void. A jade appeared, and he respectfully handed it to Xuan Luo.

Xuan Luo held the jade. He didn't immediately check it but looked at Wang Lin. After a long time, he spoke softly.

"Protect yourself…"

Wang Lin nodded.

Xuan Luo closed his eyes. When he opened them once more, he turned into a ray of light along with Song Tian and the Ancient Ji Grand Empyrean. In a flash, they disappeared without a trace.

At this moment, outside the sea storm, only Wang Lin and Gu Dao remained.

Time slowly passed. In a flash, it was dusk. There was only half an hour before the Immemorial God Realm's opening, and the rumbles from the sea storm reached their peak. The vortex was rotating so rapidly that at first glance, it looked stationary.

However, when it looked like this, it meant that it had reached an alarming speed.

As the vortex rotated, the sea water seemed to be absorbed by the vortex. The sea water left the sea storm and was pulled toward the vortex.

The vortex was like a black hole that devoured everything. It constantly absorbed large amounts of sea water, causing the sea storm to shrink.

Gu Dao looked at the sea storm and said, "When all the sea water is sucked in, the Immemorial God Realm will…" His voice still clearly entered Wang Lin's ears through the rumbling.

"I'm entering the Immemorial God Realm to resurrect my wife. You… What are going in there for?" Wang Lin watched the vortex rapidly devour the sea water. It wouldn't be long before the sea storm disappeared completely.

"...For an answer!" Gu Dao turned toward Wang Lin.

"After I obtained the Ancient Ancestor's memories, there was a question that I needed to help him answer… I have waited for this day for a long time, and your arrival was an opportunity for me to find this answer!"

"The answer…" Wang Lin muttered.

"If I find this answer, perhaps I can leave the Ancient clan and go anywhere I want to go." There was a flash of complicated feelings in Gu Dao's eyes.

"You have the head of the Celestial Ancestor, so you should have seen that the Celestial Ancestor died in peace - there was no pain… The Ancient Ancestor also died...

"I can feel this death in his memory. He walked toward death with hesitation, debelief, and determination.

"The two of them paid the price of death to pursue the answer and at the same time lay down the roots of heritage. Perhaps it was to protect them," Gu Dao muttered.

Their surroundings rumbled endlessly and the vortex continued to devour until less than half the sea storm remained. The sea water had completely disappeared into the vortex, its whereabouts unknown.

It didn't take long for all the sea water to disappear.

Gu Dao withdrew his gaze from Wang Lin and looked toward the shrinking sea storm as he said in a hoarse voice, "The Ancient Ancestor and the Celestial Ancestor found an unimaginable secret. They hesitated, doubted, and in the end, in order to pursue the truth, they walked toward death...

"Now I'm going to search for the answer."

Wang Lin silently pondered.

Half an hour of time gradually passed. When all the sea water was devoured by the vortex, the thunderous rumbles continued to echo. The nine huge pillars that were no longer surrounded by the sea emitted a dazzling, nine-colored light. The gate to the Immemorial God Realm formed by the nine pillars slowly opened!

The moment it opened, a ripple spread out from the gate, and its speed was unimaginable. It instantly swept across the vast basin toward the Ancient clan and celestial clan.

When the ripple swept past the vast basin, the wind stopped. Song Tian and the others, who were flying away, stopped in the air.

In the Ancient clan, whether it was mortals or cultivators, all living things stopped when the ripple swept by.

Fire, rivers, and everything stopped at this moment.

In the land of the Ancient Ji, there was rain falling, and at this moment, even the rain stopped in the air.

In the celestial clan, it was the same. Jiu Du's group of three, Gemini, the Celestial Emperor, and the countless cultivators, mortals, and celestial beasts all stopped moving.

The five elements of the world, all laws of the world, everything stopped completely at this moment.

The entire Immortal Astral Continent became silent.

Only the gate formed by the nine pillars at the center of the vast basin slowly opened. Once it fully opened, nine-colored light shined from within, revealing a passage to somewhere unknown.

"This time is indeed very different from the past…" Gu Dao muttered. The ripple could stop everything in the world below the Heaven Trampling Realm.

Gu Dao's eyes lit up and he didn't hesitate at all. He rushed into the nine-colored gate before Wang Lin and disappeared inside.

At this moment, Wang Lin was the only person left outside the gate. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he walked toward the gate. He entered the gate step by step.

After Wang Lin entered the Immemorial God Realm, everything on the Immortal Astral Continent returned to normal. The strange thing was that almost no one had detected that moment when everything stopped.

Cultivators couldn't, Ancient clan members couldn't, and not even the Grand Empyreans had noticed that they had lost about 10 breaths of time.

This 10 breaths of time was lost from the heaven and earth, from the five elements, from every mortal, from every cultivator, from every Ancient clan member, and from the eight Grand Empyreans.

It was as if this short period of time was absorbed by a strange force and disappeared into the gate of the Immemorial god Realm.

When the entire Immemorial Astral Continent recovered, the nine pillars in the vast basin shined brightly. The light obscured everything and then disappeared without a trace.

When the nine pillars disappeared, the gate to the Immemorial God Realm also disappeared.

When the gate at the center of the basin disappeared, the vortex that remained rumbled endlessly. The endless sea that had disappeared into the vortex scattered back into the basin.

The sea water fell as thunderous rumbles echoed. Several hours later, the vast basin turned back into a sea. The sea was endless and the waves crashed into each other. The rumbles disappeared and were replaced by the sounds of the sea.

Everything returned to normal. The celestial clan was like this, and the Ancient clan was like this well. Everything recovered to normal, including in the two figures inside an elegant courtyard in Black Stone City of the Ancient clan.

The house was not big and the interior was relatively simple, but it was heartwarming. On the bed lied an old woman. Her face was filled with wrinkles, but one could see how beautiful she was when she was young.

Beside the old woman was another woman. She wore white and one couldn't see her appearance - only her hair could be seen hanging in front of her face. Her back was very beautiful, but there was a sense of sadness in this beauty. It would make people who saw her love and pity her.

It was like a fish in water - you couldn't see her tears, but when she looked at you from under the water, perhaps you could taste the tears if you were to scoop up some of the water.

The old woman was reluctant to part and softly said, "Dong Mei[1]… I'm going to accompany Anunt Chang… Don't try… When I leave you, will be the only one left… You and I are different. I'm just an ordinary person and my lifespan is limited… But you have the ancient bloodline and can cultivate… You… Take care of yourself."

She was Song Zhi...

Song Zhi was only an ordinary member of the Ancient clan, so 500 years was the limit of her lifespan.

The old woman looked at the girl that had grown up with her and muttered, "I know there is a story in you… I've seen you look into the sky in a daze and cry many times… I even remember that when I told you about what happened at the Ancient Dao imperial city and the story of Wang Lin and Li Muwan, you would force yourself to smile.

"Dong Mei… Promise me that if you can't forget, don't make yourself feel bad."

She would always remember when she first said the name "Wang Lin" to Dong Mei - the startled and emotional expression Dong Mei had.

She also remembered that 500 years ago, when Wang Lin had brought her back, he not only told her the story of Li Muwan, but also of a woman named Li Qianmei.

"Reincarnated person… Dong Mei and Li Qianmei, are they the same person…" The old woman didn't say this, but looked at the beautiful woman before her as she slowly closed her eyes.

What was the Immemorial God Realm?

This was the question that almost every cultivator on the Immortal Astral Continent had. Even Grand Empyreans didn't know what kind of existence the Immemorial God Realm was or where it came from.

Although a lot of people had entered the Immemorial God Realm, they couldn't tell what kind of place it was.

Wang Lin looked around, The sky was red. There were no stars, sun, or moon, but there was a gentle light. The earth was circular.

Here, his divine sense was limited and could not cover the entire continent. He could only see the mountain ranges nearby and the long trenches.

Walking on the earth, Wang Lin silently pondered. His eyes were filled with confusion and familiarity as he silently walked forward.

Wang Lin stopped at a trench and examined it, It was completely straight, as if created by the strike of a sword.

Faint waves of black gas were rising from the trench. They slowly disappeared after rising into the air. From here, the depths of the trench were dark, as if there was nothing there.

Wang Lin silently pondered for a bit and then stepped forward. He cross the giant trench and walked into the distance. Time slowly passed. After an unknown amount of time, Wang Lin saw even more trenches and mountain ranges.

The trenches all looked similar. They were straight, as if created by a sword slash.

"Circular earth…" Wang Lin murmured as his eyes lit up and he flew into the sky. As he flew higher and higher, the outline of the earth seemed to shrink. When Wang Lin was at the top, he looked down at the earth below and the sense of familiarity became even stronger.

This circular earth and deep trenches were arranged in a neat order. Combined together, all of this looked like a compass.

A huge compass. The trenches were the scales and the mountain ranges naturally formed ancient runes.

"Compass… A compass without a pointer… Rather, the earth is the compass. But it is not complete - half of it is missing." Wang Lin looked at the earth and saw that half of it seemed illusory.

While he silently pondered, his gaze swept by the earth and stopped at the center of the compass. There was a mountain that pierced into the clouds. Seven-colored snow was falling on top of it.

Looking at the mountain, Wang Lin revealed a complicated expression. In the Ancient Shi ancestral temple, while he was going through this three soul splits, he had seen this mysterious mountain.

This was where he saw the figure holding a body and questioning the world. However, now that he looked at the seven-colored snowy mountain, he didn't see that figure, but another familiar figure was sitting there, waiting for him.

This person looked old but not old and was covered in a seven-colored light. His face was filled with excitement. He was the person that was like the All-Seer, like the Seven-Colored Celestial Sovereign, like the Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher!

Behind this figure, behind this mountain, there was a bridge. One end was connected to the compass and the other was connected to the sky, forming a large arc.

The bridge looked almost exactly the same as the Heaven Trampling Bridges. At the point where it connected to the sky, Wang Lin could vaguely see an illusion behind the blood-colored sky.

There seemed to be two figures inside the illusion, but they were blurry, so it was impossible to see them clearly.

This scene was the same as the illusion he had seen after the ninth bridge.

"You're finally here!" The All-Seer looked at Wang Lin and laughed.

Wang Lin withdrew his gaze from the bridge and looked at the All-Seer. He didn't speak and slowly walked over. A moment later, he was standing on the mountain where the seven-colored snow was falling. He looked at the surrounding seven-colored snow and sighed.

"This old man has waited a long time for this day. All of this a dream of yours, but whenever you come here, a distortion appears in your dream!" The All-Seer laughed as he waved his hands.

As he waved, the circular continent began to rumble. As it rumbled, dense, black gas erupted from the many trenches. The black gas flew into the sky and rushed toward this mountain.

In an instant, the black gas covered the blood-colored sky. Then the black gas gathered behind the All-Seer to form a giant figure.

The figure was extremely tall and seemed to prop the world up. From afar, this figure was wearing a black robe that covered up his face, but Wang Lin could still recognize that this figure was the same as the All-Seer before him.

"Wang Lin, even though you were a Heaven Trampling cultivator in your previous life, this old man is a supreme existence here at the Boundary Compass. On the entire Immortal Astral Continent, this is the only place I can devour and fuse with you!

"Here, your dream will distort, and from now on, I'll be you!" A roar came from the huge figure, echoing in all directions.

"The previous life…" Wang Lin looked at the All-Seer and the figure behind the All-Seer. His expression was calm.

"It looks like you still haven't remembered everything. Forget it. Before you die, this old man will let you understand everything!" The All-Seer stood up and took a step back into the huge figure. The black hood that was covering his face moved, revealing his demonic face.

"The Immortal Astral Continent doesn't exist, it is something created by your dream. In fact, this is just a void that is part of the Defying Earth Realm."

"The void, eh…" Wang Lin silently pondered.

"You don't believe me? The you that hasn't recovered your memories is extremely pitiful before this old man! Wang Lin, let this old man tell you, the universe consists of four major realms. This realm is the Defying Earth Realm! Each realm has a treasure, and the treasure of the Defying Earth Realm is the Boundary Compass, the only Void Extinction treasure!

"This Immemorial God Realm is the Boundary Compass!" The eyes of the huge figure of the All-Seer were filled with excitement.

"As for you, in your previous life, you were the strongest person in the world and you could have done anything you wanted. However, for a woman, you borrowed the Boundary Compass from the guardian and used it to revive your wife!

"You used your self-created dream dao to spread your your true self to create reincarnation. You wanted to make your dream to resurrect your wife a reality and reverse the change of the heavens and earth!

"Even this old man was very shocked by your crazed action and ideas!" The All-Seer looked at Wang Lin as his words echoed.

Wang Lin closed his eyes and then opened them a moment later. He looked at the huge figure and slowly said, "So it's like this. So, who exactly are you?"

The All-Seer gloomily said, "This old man is the guardian of the Boundary Compass. Back then, you took it from my hands! I have a disciple, you should know him. His name is Mo Zi!"

Wang Lin silently pondered.

The All-Seer's eyes lit up as he waved his right hand and a portion of the black gas on his body separated into the sky to form a black vortex. As the black vortex rotated, different scenes appeared inside it.

"If you still don't believe me, you can see for yourself! You can determine for yourself whether this is real or fake."

Inside the black vortex, Wang Lin saw another version of himself holding a body and roaring at the sky.

He saw a version of himself from the past that failed to resurrect Li Muwan. The sorrowful expression, the angry roar, and the crazed eyes.

"Even if heaven wants you to die, I'll take you back! I'll break the heavens, shatter the earth. I'll sink into reincarnation and find all of you to bring you back forever...

"If I can't succeed, then I, Wang Lin, will never awaken. I'll be immersed in reincarnation with you for eternity…"

As Wang Lin looked at the images in the vortex, the memories of the past appeared in his mind. It was as if they had always existed but he had just forgotten.

Wang Lin silently pondered for a moment before he looked at the All-Seer and slowly said, "In order to make me come here, you told me I can resurrect Li Muwan here. Is that true or was it a lie?"

"It can be true, it can be a lie! The Boundary Compass is the only Void Extinction treasure in the Defying Earth Realm. It can change everything, but you won't have the opportunity." The All-Seer saw how calm Wang Lin was and that there was no sign of the slightest distortion. This caused the All-Seer to hesitate. When he heard Wang Lin's words, he didn't act recklessly. He vaguely felt like there was something wrong.

"What bridge is that?" Wang Lin raised his hand and pointed at the bridge that connected the heavens and earth behind the All-Seer's huge figure.

"The Boundary Compass's Heaven Trampling Bridge. It is also the true body of the Heaven Trampling Bridge that all life in the Defying Earth Realm feels once their cultivation level reaches a certain point." The feeling that something bad was going to happen became even more clear for the All-Seer, but he couldn't think of a reason why.

Wang Lin smiled as looked at the All-Seer and calmly said, "You're hesitating and wondering why there is no distortion happening like when a sleeping person is about to wake up."

The All-Seer's expression suddenly changed and his huge body retreated a few steps. He stared at Wang Lin, and after taking a closer look, his eyes were filled with disbelief.

"You… Something is wrong. Even if you remember your past life, once you enter the Boundary Compass, you will awaken from the dream dao!!

"The last several times, you always awakened at this step. This time, it will not be any different!"

Wang Lin looked at the All-Seer and slowly said, "You're not the guardian, but the missing one…"

The moment he said this, the All-Seer suddenly felt his heart drop.

"I was hesitant about all of this until I saw the mountain with the seven-colored snow for the second time and the figure holding the body when I was in the Ancient Shi ancestral temple. I felt like something was wrong, but at the same time, a crazy idea was born!" Wang Lin didn't look at the All-Seer, but at the bridge behind the All-Seer.

"I was afraid of the failure that I saw, afraid that I had failed to resurrect Wan Er. I was afraid that everything was just a previous life where I met Wan Er and did my best to resurrect her but failed, so I immersed myself in the dream dao to change reincarnation until my dream came true!

"However, was it really a previous life… I didn't think so! I was afraid it was all true, so I had to verify it, I had to change it!" Wang Lin's eyes shined brightly.

"Back then, inside the Heaven Defying Bead, I heard a voice. That voice kept telling me that I was missing one, missing one...

"I still didn't know what was missing...

"In the cave world, I once saw a scene. Celestial Emperor Bai Fan pointed at the sky and went crazy. Then I learned that he inadvertently realized that this world was just a cave. He couldn't accept it and went crazy.

"Like Esteemed Scattered Spirit, but he didn't have Scattered Spirit's courage or perseverance.

"That scene gave me inspiration and also an even deeper sense of fear.

"And in the cave world, when I attempted to reach the third step, the Void Gate appeared… And the voice that came from behind the gate. Later, I found that the voice was very similar to the voice in the Heaven Defying Bead that was telling me that something was missing.

"This lasted until I had the crazy idea, until I found the skull of the Ji Qiong and found the divine sense left there." After Wang Lin spoke, he raised his right hand and the skull of the Ji Qiong appeared.

There were characters imprinted on this skull that emitted a cold light and killing intent.

"I have the answer to everything!" Wang Lin looked at the skull in his hand and revealed a complicated expression.

"The missing one inside the Heaven Defying Bead is you! You're not the so-called guardian, but the treasure spirit of the Boundary Compass!" Wang Lin looked up. His eyes were bright. This gaze caused the All-Seer to tremble.

"Originally, I was very confused about resurrecting Li Muwan. I didn't even know how to resurrect her until you appeared at the deserted mountain in the Ancient Dao.

"Your words were remembered by me, and with my experience, I thought of a method when I saw the roaring figure inside the Ancient Shi ancestral temple!

"When I thought of this and implemented this method, I was hesitant. Was my existence real or a dream? Did the Immortal Astral Continent truly exist?

"Until I saw this skull…" Wang Lin muttered.

"You… What method did you think of…" The black gas around the All-Seer continued to churn. He looked at how calm Wang Lin was, and listening to Wang Lin's calm words made his heart fill with fear.

He found that everything he knew was very different from now. He suddenly felt like a calamity was going to befall him when he heard Wang Lin talking about the crazy idea and method.

Wang Lin calmly looked at the All-Seer.

"My method is very simple. I know Flowing Time, you should know this… After my slaughter avatar was complete, I used my Flowing Time spell with all power to reverse time and send him back into the past!

"I sent him countless years into the past to imitate my life. He used his dream dao to divinate and calculate everything that would happen in my life!

"I gave him autonomy, I gave the avatar freedom!

"After doing this, I suddenly realized that everything had become clear. The so-called previous life was the slaughter avatar that I sent into the past. You say that the Immortal Astral Continent is an illusion - I can tell you now that the Immortal Astral Continent is not a dream, not an illusion!

"I, Wang Lin, didn't reincarnate. I was born on planet Suzaku and reached the present step. I'm me!

"The reason you and some other people think this is all a dream is because my slaughter avatar successfully changed something in the past.

"I don't know what my slaughter avatar did in the past or where he is now, but when I saw the skull of the Ji Qiong, I saw his divine sense. I saw the method to awaken Li Muwan that I tasked him with finding!

"The divine sense clearly told me that in the past, the slaughter avatar reversed the world and borrowed a compass. This compass was the key to resurrect Wan Er.

"He placed the compass on the immortal Astral Continent and entered it several times. However, every time he entered, it soon dissipated.

"Until he came to the Immemorial God Realm during a reincarnation. Before he dissipated, he completed the task I left him and blasted open the compass. This caused the compass to become incomplete and also released the treasure spirit inside the compass!

"That's you." Wang Lin looked at the All-Seer. When the All-Seer heard this, his body trembled violently and his eyes filled with disbelief and indescribable fear.

"Impossible, this is impossible!"

"This is my method - to release you and use you, who is the essence of the Boundary Compass, to resurrect my wife."

"Reincarnation is right there. Once you understand it thoroughly, you can move it as you will. If you don't understand it, you call it the previous life. It is a circle and it is always there. You can see it, you can feel it.

"Like Mo Zi's words, like Red Butterfly's memories, like when you recognized the slaughter avatar at the deserted mountain in the Ancient Dao.

"The Ancient Ancestor and Celestial Ancestor could not see through reincarnation. They thought everything was false and died seeking dao… This is reincarnation...

"After understanding reincarnation, you see that it is just a circle. You can casually walk to any point and grab it." Wang Lin shook his head and calmly looked at the All-Seer.

"You have been scheming against me, but you didn't know that in the end, I was scheming against you… Like searching for something only to suddenly find it when you turn around."

"Impossible, it can't be this way!! I personally saw your previous life. I personally saw you borrow my compass. I personally saw you enter the dream dao with the compass!!

"I also personally saw you reincarnate many times and reach this point before dissipating in the compass!!" The All-Seer seemed to have gone mad. He had schemed for a lifetime, but in the end, he still miscalculated.

When he was released from the compass, he thought that it was an accident, but he didn't expect it to be part of Wang Lin's plan.

"Impossible, I don't believe it!!" the All-Seer roared as his body made of black gas covered the sky. He rushed toward Wang Lin as if he wanted to devour him.

"Just because you saw it, that doesn't mean it's true… Because you can't see through reincarnation. It is right there; if you understand it, you understand it, but if you don't, then you will never understand it." Wang Lin shook his head.

The All-Seer's voice echoed inside the Immemorial God Realm with the seven-colored snowy mountain as the center. Its huge body made of black fog rushed toward Wang Lin with unwillingness and madness.

He was unwilling to let this be. He had waited for so long, waited for countless reincarnations, until this day arrived, but he didn't expect everything to turn out like this.

Wang Lin had deceived everyone. Not even the All-Seer knew that everything was not Wang Lin's dream, but the slaughter avatar's dao.

The All-Seer's heart was filled with an absurd feeling, and this feeling was enough to make him go mad. He was the treasure soul of the Boundary Compass, and he had seen Wang Lin come here again and again and dissipate here in every reincarnation.

Until the time he personally saw Wang Lin blast open the compass and then dissipate. This allowed him, the All-Seer, to walk out, and at that moment, he laughed with ecstasy.

He didn't know his own origin. In his memory, when he first awakened countless years ago, he was already the treasure spirit of the Boundary Compass.

He also didn't know who had created the Boundary Compass. He had no memory and was confused for a long time until he saw Wang Lin borrow the compass. He saw Wang Lin go through reincarnation again and again until he was released.

The moment he was released, he was filled with an unspeakable sense of joy. He felt like he was about to be free, and he didn't want to continue to exist inside the compass like a captive.

That's why he wanted to take over Wang Lin!

From his view, all life on the Immortal Astral Continent was fake and only Wang Lin was real. From his analysis, once he succeeded in taking Wang Lin over, he would have Heaven Trampling cultivation and true freedom.

He could no longer be trapped inside the compass as the treasure spirit, even though he felt that aside from being the treasure spirit, he was also the guardian of this compass.

But no matter what, everything he had done was for freedom!

He had even decided that once he gained his freedom and succeeded in taking over Wang Lin's body, he was going to find his origin - find who had made him into a treasure spirit.

From his view, after he succeeded in taking over Wang Lin's body, the Boundary Compass would become his supreme treasure. He was the treasure spirit, and no one knew its strength better than him.

Aside from its power, its most important use was allowing one to leave the Defying Earth Realm!

As for the origin of the Boundary Compass, he had some ideas, but they were blurry. He didn't know who had created it, nor why he was inside it.

He only knew that once he gained his freedom, he would search for an answer.

However, at this moment, all of his plans collapsed because of Wang Lin's words. He had no hope. He only felt despair and anger, along with fear and reluctance.

He rushed frantically at Wang Lin and the black fog howled loudly. As he closed in on Wang Lin, he saw the faint smile on Wang Lin's face.

Wang Lin raised his right hand as he looked at the black fog rushing toward him and gently waved.

"When I mastered reincarnation, I had already reached Heaven Trampling." As Wang Lin spoke calmly, he waved his sleeve. The black fog before him sizzled and began to rapidly dissipate.

"I'm unwilling to let this be!! Wang Lin, I'm unwilling to let this be!!" The All-Seer let out a miserable cry. As the black gas scattered, the remaining black gas condensed into a large head. This head looked very different from the All-Seer. He was middle-aged and between his eyebrows was a star pattern that was flashing. There was a vague shadow of a crane struggling inside the star pattern.

All of this lasted for an instant before scattering. The middle-aged man's head scattered and all the remaining black gas suddenly turned into a giant black crane.

The black crane let out a hiss at the sky and rushed toward Wang Lin once more.

The moment he closed in, there was a flash of coldness in Wang Lin's eyes. He took a step forward and raised his right hand. As the black crane closed in, his hand grabbed the crane's neck.

The black crane continued to struggle. As it howled, Wang Lin's eyes lit up. His right hand's grip tightened, resulting in a thunderous bang that made the entire Immemorial God Realm tremble and the sky to become a blur.

The black crane completely shattered.

The All-Seer's divine sense was in chaos, and when the black crane disintegrated, so did the All-Seer. Right as the last bit of his divine sense was going to be destroyed, he seemed to remember something about the past - some things he thought did not exist in his memory.

"Morning Dao Realm… My hometown…" the All-Seer muttered as his divine sense dissipated completely and he completely died. His crane body turned into countless strands of black gas. Among the black gas, there was an obvious strand of grey gas. Wang Lin watched as the grey gas rushed toward the bridge that was connected to the sky and disappeared into the illusion behind the bridge.

This grey gas didn't carry the All-Seer's aura.

Wang Lin's eyes lit up, but he was not surprised at all, as if he already knew the grey gas existed. He only took a glance and ignored it. His right hand reached out and gripped toward the black gas.

As he gripped, the black gas suddenly gathered and formed a fist-sized ball of gas in Wang Lin's palm.

The ball of gas was not black, but nine-colored - it was very beautiful.

"One Realm Essence…" When Wang Lin looked at the ball of gas in his hand, his eyes were no longer calm, but filled with excitement. He took a deep breath and waved his left hand. A coffin appeared before him.

There was a woman sleeping inside the coffin. She was not an absolute beauty, but she was gentle. Her eyes were closed and she remained motionless.

"Wan Er… I once said that even if heaven wants you to die, I'll take you back!" Wang Lin murmured as he touched the woman's face. Tears flowed down his eyes and landed on her face. The tears flowed along her cheek into the corner of her mouth.

"I have succeeded! Wan Er, after thousands of years, I have succeeded!" Wang Lin's expression was gentle as he gently pressed the nine-colored ball of gas between the eyebrows of the woman. He silently watched as the ball of gas entered her body, and time seemed to become eternal.

However, there was a rare sign of tension on his face - he was very nervous. He bit his lower lip and looked at the woman before him.

Wang Lin caressed Li Muwan's hair and muttered, "Wan Er, come back alive… Come back alive… Open your eyes, open your eyes and look at me…"

The encounter outside the Sea of Devils seemed to have set the fate of three lives. Don't forget, don't abandon...

That soft cry for help and the eyes filled with panic caused Wang Lin, who had hidden underground because he had noticed something was wrong, to raise his head...

If he hadn't looked up, perhaps everything would've been different.

In the sea of devils, when he opened his eyes and saw that weak yet tough figure standing at the entrance of the cave, his heart trembled for a moment. He didn't know why he had said "Don't be afraid, I'll take you to kill…" but he knew at that moment that those words had come out naturally...

The delicate figure that had used her heart blood to engrave the dragon formation onto the scale, the pale face that made his heart ache. But at that time, he was being hunted by people whose hatred for him ran as deep as the ocean. He could only tell himself to forget all the suffering she had gone through.

The scene in the Sky Cloud Sect, when he heard the sound of the zither and saw the bleakness of the figure inside the pavilion, Wang Lin knew he could not forget.

My left hand is a short karma in the sea of devils and my right hand is hundreds of years of cultivation…

"Wan Er, open your eyes, wake up… And there is also Ping Er. He will also awaken, you will like that child…" Wang Lin's tears flowed as he muttered.

Time did not wait for me. You… When will you take me away...

"Wan Er, I'm Wang Lin. We are husband and wife, let me take you away... " Even more tears appeared in Wang Lin's eyes as he looked at Li Muwan. He had waited for several thousand years for this day.

The warmth in the valley, the figure he saw when he looked back, and the scenes of the past seemed to become eternal in Wang Lin's mind. He could not forget, he didn't want to forget, he was unwilling to forget.

He watched Li Muwan turn old and gradually age as she slowly marched to the end of her life. The moment she closed her eyes, Wang Lin's heart felt pain like never before, as if he had gone mad. He could not let Li Muwan leave like this, he was going to steal her back!!

After losing it, he would get it back even if it meant he had to touch the sealed memory again and again and walk into the abyss of sorrow… He felt no regret.

"Wan Er… wake up… Wan Er…" Wang Lin looked at the sleeping woman and his tears continued to flow.

I subverted the entire world only to correct you reflection.

I reversed the entire world only to make it so the heavens could not prevent your eyes from opening.

I blasted open the endless void to open a path… to allow you to find your way home.

"Wan Er, I'm your husband. I want you to open your eyes and wake up!!" Wang Lin looked up at the sky and roared. A long time had passed, but the woman inside the coffin still had her eyes closed. Wang Lin was unable to accept this - he could not accept this!!

"... Don't cry…" The moment Wang Lin roared at the sky, a warm, jade-like hand slowly rose up and touched his face.

Wang Lin's entire body trembled. He lowered his head to see Li Muwan's eyelashes trembling as she opened her eyes.

Those eyes contained the gentleness that hadn't changed for thousands of years and a sense of tenderness that would make one's heart ache.

Report chapter

Immemorial God Realm, at the center of the circular continent, stood the seven-colored snowy mountain, and two figures were standing on it.

They were Wang Lin and Li Muwan.

They stood there, looking at the bridge not far away, and softly spoke to each other.

Wang Lin's gaze was gentle as he looked at Li Muwan. He had waited for this for a long time, and now, after thousands of years, it had finally happened.

The seven-colored snow that fell no longer had a sorrowful feeling. It was completely different from the scene Wang Lin had seen inside the ancestral temple.

Wang Lin softly said, "It is a long story. Wan Er, once we leave, we will find an ordinary place, then I'll spend a lifetime telling you the story… And Ping Er and his wife, Qing Yi. You will definitely love them."

Li Muwan nodded lightly. She looked at the man before her, and he looked the same as before, only there was hidden trace of time on his face.

She could imagine what kinds of hardships and what kind of price Wang Lin had paid in order to awaken her.

"Now let me take you to trample the heavens together…" As Wang Lin looked up at the bridge not far away, his eyes shined the brightest they ever had in thousands of years. There was no sorrow in his eyes.

He pulled Li Muwan's hand. After she awakened, he had never let go. He was afraid that once he let go, he would never find her again.

Their two figures gradually walked onto the Heaven Trampling Bridge, toward the end of the bridge that was connected to the illusion.

Li Muwan also held Wang Lin's hand and didn't want to let go for the rest of her life. She felt the warmth coming from his hand that made her heart feel warmth and peace that crossed thousands of years.

Their figures gradually arrived at the end of the bridge. Just as they were about to enter, Wang Lin stopped and waved his left hand at the ground.

This wave caused three rays of light to fly toward the earth.

The first ray of light was half a compass. It flew toward the earth and caused the circular earth to rumble. The half-illusory part of the earth became real and the countless trenches and mountains shined brightly. After it was complete, it began to activate.

The second ray of light was a giant pointer. It rapidly descended and fused with the seven-colored snowy mountain. The pointer swept across the earth.

A powerful aura spread out from the earth and rumbled across the world.

The third ray of light was a bead, a white bead, the Heaven Defying Bead!

It floated in the world and emitted a soft light. Its appearance caused the entire place, the Boundary Compass, to become complete.

Wang Lin softly said, "Withdraw!"

The moment he spoke, the earth rumbled and shrank rapidly, leaving behind large amount of fog. A moment later, the continent disappeared, the seven-colored snowy mountain disappeared, everything in the world except the bridge Wang Lin and Li Muwan were on disappeared. Everything was gone - it had all turned into a palm-sized compass!

The compass hummed and floated above Wang Lin's left hand and continued to rotate. It shrank once more, and what appeared in Wang Lin's hand was the Heaven Defying Bead!

The Heaven Defying Bead was the most critical part of the Boundary Compass, and it looked no different when the Boundary Compass was complete.

Holding the bead, Wang Lin looked back. He could not see the sky or the earth, only the void. At the end of the void, he saw a figure.

It was Gu Dao.

Gu Dao stared at all of this dumbfoundedly. He saw the only bridge that existed in the void and the two figures on the bridge.

"This is the answer…" Gu Dao muttered, revealing a complicated expression.

Wang Lin smiled faintly and waved his right hand. A vortex appeared behind Gu Dao, and inside the vortex was the Immortal Astral Continent. Gu Dao silently pondered for a moment before he bowed at Wang Lin and disappeared into the vortex.

After he left, Wang Lin pulled Li Muwan, who had also seen the figure but asked no questions, toward the end of the bridge and disappeared into the illusion.

After Wang Lin departed, the bridge turned into specks of light and disappeared into the void here.

This place was a paradise-like garden. In the distance, there was a pavilion, and there was a stone table and two stone charis. On the stone chair next to the table sat someone with their back to Wang Lin. This person was wearing a grey robe and had grey hair, but Wang Lin was unable to see his appearance.

There was someone standing behind this person like a servant.

Wang Lin pulled Li Muwan out of the void and arrived at this garden-like place. When Wang Lin entered with Li Muwan, the servant turned around. He looked at Wang Lin and smiled.

Wang Lin looked at this servant, the servant looked a bit old, but he still immediately recognized this person.

Wang Lin slowly said, "Ling Tianhou."

"I am and also I'm not." The servant shook his head but didn't speak. The person who had spoken was the grey-robed man who had his back to Wang Lin. He turned around and smiled at Wang Lin.

The grey-robed man looked at Wang Lin with a smile and said, "This must be Madam Wang, indeed a good match for Fellow Cultivator Wang."

Li Muwan remained calm and didn't speak. She stood beside Wang Lin and calmly looked at the grey-robed man.

Wang Lin looked at the grey-robed man and suddenly smiled. He pulled Li Muwan toward the opposite side of the old man and he waved his sleeve. An overlapping shadow appeared on the last remaining stone chair, turning it into two. He sat down together with Li Muwan.

On the table between him and the grey-robed man was a board. The black and white pieces on it were scattered - it was obviously a bad situation.

"Your avatar left after playing half the game. I've waited for so many years, and you've finally arrived. Let us continue." The grey-robed man smiled as he picked up a black piece and placed it on the board.

"You are the guardian?" Wang Lin glanced at the board and looked at the grey-robed man.

The grey-robed man looked up and smiled "I'm and so are you."

"The All-Seer is the treasure spirit, and I left a strand of divine sense on him. That was the grey-robed All-Seer you saw." The grey-robed man looked exactly the same as the All-Seer. However, the feeling he gave off was different. As he had said, he was the grey-robed All-Seer.

"Just like how the Seven-Colored Realm was originally created by your avatar. It was later found by the treasured spirit and used by it. I was also very curious, but now I see that reincarnation is so simple to you.

"Those imitation Heaven Defying Beads in the Seven-Colored Realm were created by your slaughter avatar when tried to find out what the one missing thing was. Those dao scriptures were all just your life experiences.

"Walk the path of the true dao… The 'true' in that line refers to one's true self in reincarnation. The meaning of this line is for all life forms to search for their true self so they can walk out of reincarnation." The grey-robed man revealed admiration in his eyes as he spoke.

"I don't have a name. If I'm the first in the Defying Earth Realm to reach Heaven Trampling, then you are the second. Other than you and me, no other life form could trample the heavens to arrive at this place.

"Aside from that avatar of yours…" The grey-robed man said with a smile.

Wang Lin silently pondered for a moment. He still hadn't let go of Li Muwan's hand as he looked at the grey-robed man and asked, "Did you create the Boundary Compass? Did you seal the treasure spirit inside?"

"The fourth step, Heaven Trampling, is the limit of the Defying Earth Realm, but in the vast universe of the four realms, there are some who have reached the fifth step… Or the sixth step… Before I came here, this board already existed.

"Let's play, it's your turn…" the grey-robed man whispered.

Wang Lin silently pondered for a moment and then smiled. He raised his right hand. There was already a white bead in his hand. He held this white piece and put it on the board.

The moment the white piece landed, the board suddenly changed. The white and black pieces all began to move as if they were trying to divinate something. When Li Muwan looked over, all the black and white pieces had fused into only two pieces.

One black, one white.

The white piece was on Wang Lin's side and the black piece was on the grey-robed man's side.

"Do you understand?" Wang Lin looked up at the grey-robed man.

The grey-robed man pondered for a moment before he let out a sigh and nodded. "...I understand."

Wang Lin smiled as he stood up and pulled Li Muwan. He didn't look back at the two people or the board, but stepped forward with Li Muwan, and the two of them disappeared from this place.

After he disappeared, the white piece on the board slowly became illusory and eventually disappeared, as if it had followed Wang Lin.

Wang Lin left with Li Muwan.

On the Immortal Astral Continent, no one other than Gu Dao knew what had happened inside the Immemorial God Realm.

Wang Lin sat down on a calm mountain in the Ancient clan. Li Muwan sat behind him and gently looked at him. Wang Lin remained here for several days.

He seemed to be waiting for something, Li Muwan didn't know what, and she didn't want to know. As long as she could be beside Wang Lin, she was already satisfied. However, there was still a question in hear heart, but she wanted to wait for Wang Lin to awaken up to ask.

Another three days passed. At the dusk of this day, while the sky was dim, Wang Lin opened his eyes and looked at the sky.

At this moment, a man wearing black with long, black hair appeared outside the Immortal Astral Continent. His body was filled with slaughter and destruction. He stood outside the Immortal Astral Continent and his indifferent eyes fell on the Ancient clan, where he saw someone looking at him.

His appearance was the same as Wang Lin's!

After pondering for a moment, the black-robed man rushed into the Immortal Astral Continent. He turned into a ray of black light and flew toward the Ancient clan. He rushed toward the mountain Wang Lin was on and arrived before him.

When he saw Li Muwan, his indifferent gaze became gentle.

"You didn't have to come." Wang Lin looked at his slaughter avatar.

The black-robed man silently pondered, then he raised his hand to break a strand of his black hair. When he loosened his hand, the black hair fluttered and gradually turned white.

The moment the strand of white hair appeared, Wang Lin raised his right hand and a strand of white hair appeared as well. However, the moment this strand of white hair appeared, it gradually dissipated.

The man in black looked at Li Muwan once more. He closed his eyes as he became black gas and erased his own consciousness to fuse with Wang Lin's body.

Wang Lin absorbed all the black gas and the slaughter avatar appeared in his body once more. He looked at Li Muwan and suddenly understood why the slaughter avatar had chosen to dissipate his own consciousness and fuse with him after gaining independence.

"For me, it was 500 years… for him, it was countless reincarnations…"

"What are you looking at me for?" Li Muwan smiled.

Wang Lin suddenly asked, "Did you see him?"

"Who?" Li Muwan was startled. She hadn't seen anything just now.

"Nothing. Let us leave. Don't you want to see Wang Ping and his wife? Let us go to a place where no one knows us and begin an ordinary life…" Wang Lin stood up and smiled.

"Not going to cultivate?" Li Muwan blinked and stood up next to Wang Lin.

"Cultivation is in the heart. After finding my true self, everywhere is the same." Wang Lin smiled as he held Li Muwan. The two of them turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the dusk.

"Wang Lin, after the game ended, you said 'did you understand…' I don't really understand it… What is there to understand?" Li Muwan's gentle voice echoed.

The two of them gradually flew away and disappeared into the horizon.

They didn't see that at this moment, in the corner of Blackstone City, not far away from this mountain, a woman in white had her back to the lights of countless homes. As she looked at the ray of light flying away in the sky, tears flowed down the corner of her eyes. The tears flowed across her cheek and dripped onto her clothes.

"Forget it, let's forget everything… The fish in the previous life also watched the bird fade away inside the water…" the woman murmured. Her eyes were hazy. The fish in the water seemed to be crying, but the tears melted in the water, so the bird could not see them.

"In the previous life, we were a bird and a fish, but in this life, we are not…" A soft voice suddenly appeared behind the woman.

The woman's delicate body suddenly trembled. She suddenly looked back and saw the figure smiling at her...

This is postscript from the author Er Gen, not the translator.

Renegade Immortal has been over for nearly half a month. I kept saying there would be a postscript but never felt like it. It's now almost new years, so I decided to sort out my thoughts and write something.

I wrote Renegade Immortal for 31 months, nearly 1,000 days. Looking back, it was quite emotional.

I still remember the first month of Renegade Immortal, where I had just a bit more than 10,000 people who put it on their bookshelves and barely any monthly vote, but Er Gen didn't give up. Instead, I drank beer with red eyes, telling myself that even if my story was trash, I was going to write the whole damn story.

I went all out - write!

At that time, Er Gen was a newbie. I was confused about the future and confused about life. I always looked at the sky with many thoughts and ideals, but in the end, I could only watch my beard grow more and more. Only helplessness remained.

I didn't want to give up, I wanted to persist. This is what I told myself in June two and a half years ago.

The theme of Renegade Immortal was "defying." The struggle was also a kind of defying that I pursued step by step. There was a lot of hardship and confusion.

I remember the swearing, I remember the rebuke, I remember the vicious voice, I remember a lot… but I also remember the comforting words from you all and all those heartwarming things…

There were several times when I looked at the familiar names in the book reviews, I looked at the more than 300 pledge owners(top donors), and I looked at the surge in monthly votes as tears of joy fell. This was all real.

Thank you, thank you all, thank you Renegade Immortal readers, and thank you donors and the moderators for Renegade Immortal for the last two and a half years.

It can be said that as I wrote Renegade Immortal, I grew as well. A mental growth, following Wang Lin's dao was as if I was writing my own dao.

Life and death, karma, reincarnation, true self.

There domains were out outlined, but as the novel progressed, I pursued it slowly with Wang Lin. People's lives are less than 100 years, only their ideas can continue forever. Ideas are the symbols of humans, I have always understood this as such.

I was very reluctant to let it end after two and a half years. A few days after, I felt uncomfortable, like a bow that has been drawn for two and a half years had suddenly loosened.

I'm still coughing and my chest is stuffy.

In one's life, there will be many two and a half year periods, but I know that I was very satisfied with these two and a half years because I had you all accompanying me.

I grew a lot during Renegade Immortal, from being new at the start and becoming proficient at the end. However, I understand that I still have flaws, like I'm not good with numbers and also making errors...

Many fellow cultivators know this…

I would often write three layers and later it turns into four layers. I'm very depressed about it, it was my memory that deceived me…

There are also many shortcomings, like this and that, but I have written them all down, so I'll try to avoid them in the new novel.

There are also the broken sentences that make it awkward for people to read, but I'm afraid this can't be changed…

And I remember my own lack of vocabulary, such as "a sneer," "eyes lit up," "a cold snort," "a step forward," and so on were used too often, and I feel a little ashamed.

A novel with more than 6 million characters makes it very difficult to achieve perfection, so I hope you all won't mind.

However, I also have strong points, a lot of strong points, haha.

At least I felt like the characters were pretty good. Not every supporting character, but I felt like a vast majority of them were still successful. Like Situ, Qing Shui, Red Butterfly, Zhou Ru, Big Head, and so on.

This is the part that I'm very happy about.

There are too many strong points, but I won't say them all to praise myself. You all understand.

In general, the shortcomings and strong points coexist. Renegade Immortal is far from perfect, but it is my current limit. In the new book, I'll use new methods to make myself rise up. (It seems I have used "rise up" a lot too.)

There are a lot of holes in Renegade Immortal, and in the end, many are still unfilled. I even dug a few more at the end, and after considering it all, I ultimately decided to leave it as is.

I always felt that a novel needs to have some regrets. If not in characters, then in the plot. In truth, some of the answers can be found in the text if you think about it.

For example, the missing one in the Heaven Defying Bead. In the end, the answer was given. It was the All-Seer.

For example, if there is a so-called white bead, there must be a black bead. This matter with the black and white beads was given an answer in the chest board in the last chapter.

For example, how Joss Flames were mentioned as poisonous. I gave an explanation with the Dao Wang Clan, only I didn't say it directly.

There were many, many, such as the Dong Lin Sect - the answer was in the text.

However, there are indeed holes I have no conclusions for. I would like to leave these stories for the Wang Lin that accompanied Li Qianmei to solve.

Or the hidden mysteries in the cave world - I decided to leave them for the Wang Lin that stayed with Mu Bingmei to find.

Similarly, I also left two questions for you fellow cultivators. The first is Wang Lin.

Wang Lin exists around Li Muwan, Li Qianmei, and Mu Bingmei, but which one is the real him? I think a vast majority of you fellow cultivators would all agree that he is with Li Muwan.

But thinking about it carefully, this perhaps might not be the right answer.

Perhaps he really is with Li Muwan, or perhaps he is not...

Of course, if he wasn't with Li Muwan, then his life and death struggle would seem a bit pointless.

At least I can't tell them apart. My logic tells me that the Wang Lin that left with Li Muwan would be the real one, but when I think about Li Qianmei's story and Mu Bingmei's story, I become confused. Which one is the real him?

I want to bring this confusion to you fellow cultivators.

If you were Wang Lin, which of the three women would you choose to stay with?

This answer is different for everyone.

What I want is for the fellow cultivators that like Li Qianmei to think that the Wang Lin that stayed with Li Qianmei is the real Wang Lin. By the same token, I want the fellow cultivators who liked Mu Bingmei to think that the Wang Lin that stayed in the cave that gave birth to him and raised him is the real Wang Lin.

I also hope that the fellow cultivators that like Li Muwan believe without hesitation that the one that stayed with her is the real Wang Lin.

There is no answer, I don't have one...

Perhaps only Wang Lin, only he knows the answer to this question without an answer.

This was the first complete work that Er Gen finished and the first Xianxia. I feel that Xianxia novels have no end. I don't want to write such a joke, like Wang Lin became the strongest person in the universe.

I want to write about a person that is of flesh and blood. A man that is willing to defy the heavens because of the defying will in this heart.

Cultivation has no end, that's why I wrote that there is a fourth step, a fifth step, a sixth step. Perhaps there are more, it is a long road.

This represents the pursuit and persistence of people. It represents the idea of climbing up and hoping. Such progress is eternal and will continue forever.

Renegade Immortal is only a part of Wang Lin's life, the earliest part of his life. He will have more life, but that part of his life will not be in the book, but in our imaginations.

I hope that you all will suddenly think about it when bored, inspired, or zoned out. This would be a joyous thing.

The sky is very large. Looking up at the night sky, I know that Wang Lin is only a story, but his defying will is something I'm lacking. That's why I wrote something like this - to tell myself, to remind myself, and to make myself look forward.

I'm in the net, everyone is here.

Like the chess game at the end… The question and answer.

"Do you understand?"

"I understand."

However, Wang Lin understands, the guardian understands, but I still don't understand.

Life is like a dream.

This is ramble one, there will be two. Perhaps there will be an postscript for other characters, but I don't guarantee anything. However, as long as I get the inspiration, I'll write it down.

For example, Situ, Qing Shui, Red Butterfly, Zhou Yi, Thirteen, Zhou Ru, etc...

Despite the fact that my time on the internet has lessened, I'm still with everyone.
