Han Fei: "What does 'When the Dao of Change emerges, humanity must reform its path'. mean? It sounds rather grandiose!"
Lucas: "Cultivating the soul to achieve Yang God status can be described as the Way of Heaven; cultivating the body to shatter the vacuum represents the Way of Earth; guiding humanity's development constitutes the Way of Humanity."
Lucas: "Many masters in the Yang God World practice both martial arts and immortality simultaneously. They cultivate their bodies to crush the vacuum while developing their souls into Yang God."
Lucas: "Renowned masters like Fortune Daoist, Shenghuangpan, and Tai have all attained both the Way of Heaven and the Way of Earth. However, since ancient times, no one in the Yang God World has mastered the Way of Humanity."
Han Fei: "If the Human Dao is so difficult to obtain, does that make it stronger than the Heavenly Dao and Earth Dao?"
Lucas: "How would I know? After all, no one has ever truly attained it. But rumors in the Yang God World suggest that those who master all three Ways—Heaven, Earth, and Human—will simultaneously reach the Far Shore."
Dongfang Yuechu: "What is the Far Shore?"
Lucas: "I believe I've mentioned this before. The Yang God World measures time in epochs. At each epoch's conclusion, all life between heaven and earth perishes—even Yang God and vacuum-shattering powerhouses. No exceptions."
Han Fei: "Can those who reach the Far Shore survive this world-ending cataclysm?"
Lucas: "Of course! Otherwise, why would so many powerful beings strive to reach it? Even those mighty figures who have perished left their legacies, hoping their disciples and inheritors would fulfill their unrealized ambitions."
Han Fei: "What connection exists between the 'Book of Changes,' the Way of Yi, and Humanity? Since you've asked us to write the 'Book of Changes,' I suspect they must be closely related."
Lucas: "They're not merely connected—they're fundamentally linked! In the original timeline, the group of great Confucian scholars who authored the Book of Changes successfully mastered the Way of Humanity. They then united the powers of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity to help the entire Yang God World survive the Epochal Tribulation."
Zheng Qizi: "Wait! Lord Group Leader, what did you just say? Gathering the power of the three Ways can enable the entire world to survive the epochal catastrophe? I always believed the epochal catastrophe was insurmountable."
Zheng Qizi: "Even if those who reach the Far Shore can transcend worldly limitations and personally survive the epochal catastrophe, surely they remain powerless against the natural decline of the entire world?"
Lucas: "Indeed! Even those mighty beings who reach the Far Shore cannot prevent the Yang God World's natural destruction. However, injecting new vitality into the declining world can extend its lifespan."
Lucas: "In the original future, the Book of Changes functioned as an immense treasure. Countless individuals throughout the Yang God World studied it, gaining strength and wisdom from its teachings."
Lucas: "The more powerful and intelligent beings inhabit the Yang God World, the more vitality it contains. This robust vitality can counteract the world's decline and prolong its existence."
Zheng Qizi: "So by continuously infusing vitality into the Yang God World, the epochal catastrophe can be indefinitely postponed, allowing the world to effectively circumvent its destined end."
Lucas: "Precisely!"
Han Fei: "Group Leader, are you certain you wish to grant me such a momentous opportunity?"
Lucas: "Absolutely! Attaining the Way of Humanity is excessively troublesome, and would provide limited enhancement to my combat capabilities. Compared to the Way of Yi and the Way of Humanity, I find the secondary Dao of Heaven and Earth and the King of Artifacts far more compelling."
Han Fei: "In that case, I gratefully accept! I'll begin writing the 'Book of Changes' immediately. Everyone can observe through my live broadcast."
Han Fei enabled permissions allowing all chat group members to witness events through his perspective.
He now stood in a massive library, positioned before an enormous table. Raising the brush in his hand, he began writing on the blank paper before him.
In the chat group, Irisviel von Einzbern asked curiously, "Where is Han Fei? This appears to be a library."
Lucas: "That's the Dagan royal family's secret library, containing their entire collection of classified texts. The Dagan royal family is under my control, and the library is accessible to all group members."
Dongfang Yuechu: "Look! The characters Han Fei has written are transforming!"
Outside, as Han Fei transcribed the "Book of Changes," strands of golden light manifested between heaven and earth, descending continuously toward him.
After these golden rays entered Han Fei's soul, his soul body became transparent, resembling a crystal statue.
These golden lights rapidly enhanced Han Fei's soul power.
Simultaneously, the golden rays descended upon Han Fei's written words. While the content remained unchanged, the text now possessed a mysterious power.
Zheng Qizi: "'The group of dragons has no head, the group of dragons has no head.' Does this represent the mystery of ancient emperors and middle-aged princes? Group Leader was correct—this truly is a supreme cultivation treasure."
Lo Pei: "I've studied the 'Book of Changes' before but never discovered any hidden mysteries. Yet observing Han Fei's version, though textually identical, evokes an entirely different sensation."
Lancelot: "This text has transformed into a cultivation method—even I can sense it. I could use it to strengthen my soul."
Han Fei ignored the chat group's discussion and moved his brush skillfully, swiftly completing the entire "Book of Changes."
Upon completion, an unprecedented golden light burst forth, transforming the paper filled with text into radiant gold. The document's very nature had changed, now emanating a mighty aura capable of shaking unprepared souls.
As the "Book of Changes" author, Han Fei's soul had grown stronger than ever before. With a mere thought, he could summon a terrifying soul storm. His soul power now rivaled that of an emperor in the Dou qi Continent.
Zheng Qizi: "What a pity! Unlike a true soul, you cannot undergo tribulation. Otherwise, you would certainly pass seven thunder tribulations consecutively to become a creator, just like the middle-aged princes."
Xiao Xuan asked, puzzled, "What does it mean to endure seven consecutive thunder tribulations?"
Lucas explained: "The middle-aged princes of the Yang God World avoid combat spells when cultivating their souls and abstain from practitioner battles. They spend their days reading and calming their minds. Even as ghosts, they wouldn't survive ordinary tribulations. But once they face the calamity, their response is earth-shattering—surviving seven consecutive thunder tribulations is merely their basic accomplishment."
Han Fei: "Enough! Even without undergoing tribulation, my soul has grown sufficiently powerful. Moreover, my soul differs fundamentally from those of the Yang God World. I can continue strengthening without enduring tribulation."
The ghosts and immortals of the Yang God World could accumulate potential even without facing thunder tribulation. However, this potential couldn't transform into actual strength—only through tribulation could it become power. Even middle-aged princes capable of surviving seven consecutive thunder tribulations could only exercise ghost immortal-level strength until they underwent tribulation.
This represented the world's inherent limitation, similar to the physical differences between the Ninja world and Pirate world inhabitants. Fortunately, Han Fei originated outside the Yang God World, and his current state transcended ordinary soul form.
Even righteous individuals born in the Yang God World now possessed the privilege of enhancing their soul power without tribulation. As chat group members, they enjoyed attribute privileges bestowed by the multiverse chat group.
Han Fei: "Group Leader, is my current strength sufficient to stabilize my world?"
Lucas: "Han Fei, did you know? I once possessed power sufficient to overwhelm the entire pirate world, yet I refrained from hastily overthrowing its ruling World Government. I recognized that while I had the capacity to conquer, I lacked the ability to govern."
Han Fei: "I understand! Group Leader, would you assist me with this enormous undertaking? Though I've boasted about dominating and saving the world, from a practical standpoint, I lack hands-on experience."
Lucas: "Certainly! As the 'Book of Changes' author, guiding this world's humanitarian current falls to you. Manage affairs competently, and I won't require you to leave this world."
Han Fei: "Agreed! You're right—this responsibility is mine. However, I remain uncertain about my specific duties. Could the Group Leader provide guidance?"
Lucas: "Spread knowledge of the I Ching. Help people understand it, learn from it, and benefit from its wisdom. Even if your enemies gain advantage from the I Ching, you mustn't abandon eating for fear of choking."
Han Fei responded solemnly: "Understood! I'm unconcerned about enemies learning the 'Book of Changes,' as I believe my comprehension surpasses all others. The golden light bestowed more than mere soul strength—it granted me profound understanding of the Book of Changes."
Senju Hashirama: "Sir, the Traverser Space has assigned me a mission! I'm heading to the 'X-Men – First Class' world. Does the Group Leader have knowledge of this realm?"
Lucas laughed: "X-Men's first class? Excellent world! One of our chat group members resides there—Sebastian Shaw, this world's primary antagonist. Activate your live broadcast and share your mission details."
