While Elaris advanced in the Laws of Life, Death, and Soul, her primary focus, the Law of the Earth, had undoubtedly not advanced significantly over the past fifty thousand years.
Elaris's realm remained stagnant, her strength barely increasing.
But Elaris didn't care. Her sole focus now was finding a way to perfectly resurrect her sister, Irene.
For these two reasons, Elaris avoided harassing the Dao Alliance, including the Goddess of Death and the God of the Sea of Blood. Instead, she remained within the Dao Realm, researching methods for resurrection.
The gods in the Divine Court, who had been silently watching over Elaris, felt a moment's relief.
In the Innate Dao Realm,
a young woman with a human body and a serpent's tail formed complex and mysterious hand seals, condensing runes and striking them against the recently deceased beast before her.
Spiritual energy surged between heaven and earth, the aura of time and Death Law surging. A strange attraction emanated from the beast's corpse, drawing the ethereal, slowly dissipating soul a short distance away back into the corpse.
The next moment, the already cold corpse stood up, its organs reviving. Its heart began beating again, causing the clotted blood in its veins to flow again. It looked as if the beast had truly returned to life.
But Elaris frowned. "No, that's not right! A resurrected being like this is no different from the dead. This is not the result I want!" Elaris could tell at a glance that the beast's body contained far more dead energy than life, completely failing to achieve the desired effect.
"My sister is the Goddess of Life. How could she accept my resurrection as an undead?"
Elaris paced back and forth in the Dao Realm, pondering how to perfect and create the perfect method of resurrection.
Then, a beast resembling a giant silver fish leaped out from the other side of the Innate Dao Realm and swam through the air, rippling the surrounding space like water.
This was the void-like creature captured by the Goddess of Earth and the Goddess of Life when they once exiled humanity from the Dao Realm.
Of course, in the two million years that had passed, this silver fish-like void creature had already died twice.
Elaris's soul suddenly trembled upon seeing the giant silver fish-beast, a flash of inspiration flashing through her mind. "Void Life!"
"Right! The reproduction and development of Void Life is different from that of most other life forms in the Mountain and Sea Realm.
There are two ways: first, in the collision of spatial turbulence within the world there is a one in a billion chance that the light of life will burst forth, giving birth to a new Void Creature.
and second: New Void Life is born from the remains of deceased Void Life.
For billions of years, Void Life has been like this, in an endless cycle of life and death."
"Then, if I imbue a Void Life with my secret technique, its soul will not dissipate, remaining within its dead body.
Then the newly born Void Life will remain its own self. Isn't this also a form of resurrection in another sense?"
Elaris 's eyes brightened at the thought.
"Right. Since perfect resurrection is impossible with the corpse of a deceased being, then I can choose a new body, a new body created from scratch."
"Why cling to the original body?"
"For us, the soul is the foundation, the very essence of life!"
"In this way, life and death are merely a cycle, a reincarnation."
At this thought, Elaris suddenly understood.
She felt that she was one step away from truly resurrecting the Goddess of Life IreneI is not far away!
...
Time continued to roll on, and in the blink of an eye, another half-million years had passed.
At this moment, the Mountain and Sea Realm was finally in the same chaotic zone as the World of the Gods, separated by only a few hundred million light-years.
During these half-million years, Tian Dao had dispatched four waves of Mountain and Sea Realm beings to the
World of the Gods, totaling twenty trillion beings. The arrival of so many Mountain and Sea Realm beings in the World of the Gods had indeed helped Tian Dao gain a wealth of information about the World of the Gods, giving him a deeper understanding of it.
However, over these long years, only a handful of these five waves of Mountain and Sea beings managed to survive, a mortality rate far exceeding that of the Mountain and Sea creatures Tian Dao had previously dispatched to the Titan World.
Of the tens of trillions of Mountain and Sea Realm beings, only a few hundred million survived, a despairingly low survival rate of just one in hundreds of thousands!
This was primarily due to the fact that the World of the Gods was a dimensional, transcendental, and small thousand world, home to numerous pantheons and deities.
Upon entering the Gods' World, creatures from the Mountain and Sea Realm, instinctively resented by the world's consciousness due to their outsider status, suffer a decline in luck, and encounter various natural and man-made disasters within the Gods' World, with a single careless act leading to their untimely demise.
Furthermore, in the eyes of the gods of the Gods' World, the aura of the Mountain and Sea Realm creatures is like a beacon in the darkness: the stronger they are, the brighter their light. Furthermore, unlike the vast, lifeless starry skies of the Titan World.
the Gods' World consists primarily of flat, round continents, leaving few areas for the Mountain and Sea Realm creatures to hide. Therefore, the Mountain and Sea Realm creatures are easily discovered by the gods of the Gods' World, who then discover their alien intruders and exterminate them.
For these reasons, the vast majority of the five advance teams Tian Dao dispatched to the Gods' World perished within days or months.
Thanks to the sheer number of Mountain and Sea Realm creatures Tian Dao dispatched, a small number of those with first- and second-level cultivation and good luck managed to survive.
Over the years that followed, they gradually transitioned to the Mountain and Sea Realm's cultivation system, gradually integrating into the World of the Gods.
Of these surviving Mountain and Sea Realm beings, some continued to grow in strength, becoming high-level powerhouses and surviving.
However, some, less gifted, were unable to reach higher realms, and upon reaching their end of lifespan, were eliminated again.
So now, after half a million years, only a few hundred million Mountain and Sea Realm beings remain within the World of the Gods.
Of course, some Mountain and Sea Realm beings also pass on their lineage within the World of the Gods, so the number of beings in the World of the Gods who carry the bloodline of the Mountain and Sea Realm is truly countless.
Tian Dao's mind flashed through all the information transmitted back by the subsystems of the Mountain and Sea Realm beings over the years, confirming with absolute certainty that the World of the Gods was merely an ordinary Lower Thousand World, devoid of external factors like the Chaos Spiritual Root within the Titan World.
Such an ordinary Lower Thousand World, Tian Dao could easily suppress and devour!
At the world's amniotic membrane, Tian Dao gazed at the 'little fellow' before him and said with a smile, "Since that's the case, then let's simply swallow the World of the Gods into the Mountain and Sea Realm!" "From within this world, slowly deal with the World Consciousness of the World of the Gods!"
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, the Mountain and Sea Realm broke through a chaotic tide and, like a tiger hunting in the wild, rushed towards the hourglass-shaped World of the Gods.
The World's amniotic membrane ripped open, like a tiger's bloody mouth, and swallowed the World of the Gods entirely into the Mountain and Sea Realm, placing it at the outermost edge of the Void Sea, near the world's amniotic membrane.
The Mountain and Sea Realm's diameter was one billion light-years, while the World of the Gods was over thirty-eight million light-years—an eighteen thousand-fold difference in size! They were simply not on the same scale!
Tian Dao was more than capable of swallowing a single World of the Gods.
Throughout this entire process, the World Consciousness of the Gods World was unable to react.
When he was within the sea of the Mountain and Sea Realm, he belatedly began to mobilize the power of the world to attack outward, intending to tear through the world membrane of the Mountain and Sea Realm, break out of the Mountain and Sea Realm, and return to the chaotic sea.
But unfortunately, Tian Dao had already laid a net of heaven and earth. The three supreme treasures of heaven and earth suppressed the three parties, and the myriad laws transformed into the divine chain of heaven, sealing the world of the gods within the Mountain and Sea Realm!
