[Unbound by Heaven and Earth].
From the moment he entered the false history, Lu Yang realized that this talent settled from Ling Xiao could play a massive role at a critical moment.
No, more accurately—
'It's the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes]; perhaps it is also seeking completeness itself, which is why it let me got such a highly targeted talent.'
The result was exactly as he expected. After the Sword Lord restarted the false history, [Unbound by Heaven and Earth] anchored all of his historical trajectory within the false history, making it impossible to alter. It successfully protected his fruits of victory, and also caused the World Honored One, who was also in the false history, to cast a slightly surprised glance at him.
"...Fellow Daoist is extraordinary indeed."
The World Honored One praised, then pinched the profound wonder of [Karma] gathered in his hand. Evidently, he also had prepared for the Sword Lord's trump card method.
As a result, Lu Yang overcame the difficulty himself.
This saved him a bit of effort and an unexpected joy. He could use this power in more crucial places to thoroughly secure the victory.
"Amitabha!"
A resonant Buddhist chant echoed inside and outside the false history and the true history. At this moment, all the Buddhist monks and believers who practiced the World Honored One's Buddhist dharma felt an inexplicable sense of being moved.
Immediately, they pressed their palms together in unison, chanting devoutly in low voices:
"Excellent"
"Excellent!"
"My Buddha is compassionate, traversing ten trillion Buddha lands without hindrance!"
Billions of Zen chants gathered like grains of sand into a towering whole. With myriad mind unified as one, they bridged the divide between false history and true history. The [Karma] held within the World Honored One's grasp suddenly expanded in all directions.
In the next instant, the entirety of the false history seemed to overflow with an illusory radiance. Within that shifting light, countless scenes from ages past emerged—at once real and unreal—flowing like a boundless current. They formed a perfect cycle, a self-contained loop, before converging into a single, resplendent brilliance that surged upward without end, resonating toward infinite heights.
At once, the Primordial Saint's expression shifted slightly.
At the same time, the Sword Lord also recovered from the shock of the [Heavenly Dao] failing to achieve its intended effect. She immediately struck out with a sword, attempting to stop the World Honored One from continuing.
However—
"Too late!"
A smile hung on the corner of the World Honored One's mouth. It was impossible for the Sword Lord to make it in time, because from the moment he abandoned [Paramita], he had already completed this matter.
Rumble!
At this moment, Lu Yang, situated within the false history, perceived it most clearly.
The false history, which originally had a length of 129,600 years, completely fell into chaos at this moment, collapsing into a singularity at its source.
At this singularity, time was chaotic. Past, present, and future were all stirred into a mess. Cause and effect existed simultaneously; there was no longer a clear chronological or logical order. Finally, the numerous concepts transformed into an extreme illusionary light, piercing through the clouds like heavenly light, shining into Lu Yang's pupils.
Lu Yang couldn't even describe its appearance in detail.
Color, temperature, all unknown.
The only thing he could know was that it truly "existed," and it was right before his eyes, just untouchable. Seemingly close at hand, but actually far away on the horizon.
"It appeared..."
Above [Paramita], the Primordial Saint, who witnessed this bizarre scene with his own eyes, muttered in a low voice, his tone losing its composure for the first time: "To actually be able to reach this extent."
The World Honored One proactively abandoned the position of a Dao Lord, stopped the deity transformation and ascension, and guided the return of the false history. Layers upon layers of changes superimposed, coupled with the call of the unorthodox branch of [Variable], [Karma], finally caused the concept of [Variable] that had been continuously converging in the false history to undergo an inconceivable qualitative change.
The Great Dao appeared!
The number one in the sea of light, and also the most mysterious—Great Dao of [Variable] revealed a hazy outline under the World Honored One's call!
At the same time, this was also a massive fortuitous encounter for Lu Yang!
Because under the influence of [Variable], the entire false history was concentrated into a single point. Past and future no longer had the restriction of time.
In other words—
"At this moment, the length of the false history can be 129,600 years, or it can be a single instant. All the accumulation can be concentrated into this moment!"
Lu Yang's eyes shone brightly.
In the next second, he had already crossed the long river of time, arriving 129,600 years later in the false history. He had skipped the process and directly obtained the result!
False history, Immortal Nexus.
Looking out, five elemental Dao Fruits and thirty stars hung high in the celestial vault, replacing the extinguished sun and moon, illuminating heaven and earth. Countless people raised their heads to look at the sky.
Among them, a figure shuttled through the crowd.
His appearance was not outstanding, only an unyielding sharpness flew between his brows. In the depths of his eyes, five-colored brilliant light settled, faintly revealing unfathomable mighty power.
Chong Guang!
It had already been over a hundred thousand years since he succeeded in seeking the Golden Core with the [Five Elements], far exceeding the years of cultivation before he entered the false history.
And the Dao Lords of that year never appeared again, making him doubt for a time whether the memories of the "present world" in his mind were true or false. After all, the everything he had experienced in the past hundred thousand years was completely different from the history in his memory, and could even be said to be vastly divergent.
Thinking of this, Chong Guang raised his head.
Sweeping his divine sense across the Immortal Nexus, what he saw was an unimaginably peaceful world that had enjoyed a long period of tranquility, with numerous deities governing the mountains and rivers, and the common people living and working in peace and contentment.
The common people provided incense to support the deities.
For the deities, the common people needed to be well protected. The more prosperous they were, the stronger they themselves, who were supported, became. They were the most precious human resources.
And it was the same between deities.
Under the governance of the Investiture of the Gods Method Dao Lineage, everyone formed a delicate symbiotic relationship.
Thinking of this, Chong Guang couldn't help but raise his head, looking at the thirty Dao Fruits on the celestial vault, and the towering Heavenly Palace standing above all Dao Fruits.
He had to admit.
Compared to the so-called "present world true history," he preferred the false history before his eyes. Cultivation was no longer a matter of scheming against each other and risking one's life.
And all of this was thanks to that person.
[Perfected Lord Yuji Siming]— He Who Presides over the Supreme Throne and Commands Fate.
A hundred thousand years had passed, and this title always hung at the pinnacle of the Immortal Nexus like the sun. Beyond this, junior cultivators no longer even used "Perfected Lord" as a title.
Regarding his great achievements, they were even more universally praised.
Thinking of this, Chong Guang suddenly, for no reason, had a memory surface in his mind. More accurately, it was a piece of history, a record of karma.
However, it wasn't just him.
At this moment, outside the false history, in the present world of the sea of light, countless cultivators also naturally "recalled" a memory, a piece of dust-covered history.
All of you should know of my great achievements—far surpassing those of our predecessors!]
"The Perfected Lord carries forth the profound wonders of the Five Elements, presides over the exalted throne and governs the heavenly destiny, transmits the Divine Dao and rectifies the dharma lineage. He grasps the ultimate principles to harmonize Yin and Yang, and anchors the stellar pivot to command the workings of creation.
He pacifies the Four Seas, where myriad demons beseech a sovereign; subdues Jiangdong, where ruler and ministers alike entrust the state and submit to his will; brings Jiangxi to heel, where ancient cultivators loose their ribbons and present their seals; quells Jiangbei, where demon head bow their heads and swear allegiance.
Thus he reform the old ways of cultivation, establishing the order of heavenly principles to cleanse the universe; enfeoffing celestial gods and earthly deities, he sets the ninety-nine provinces in place—bringing peace to all beneath the heavens!"
This was the historical record of the hundred thousand years of false history.
Yet now, it truly surfaced in the hearts of all living beings in the true history. The karma that had been altered was reverting bit by bit to its original appearance.
"Rumble!"
Instantly, the hazy light originally constructed by the Primordial Saint using [Inevitable Fate] abruptly shattered. There was no longer any obstruction to the trend of the false history returning to the present world!
