It was a long and boring battle.
Although the river of time is connected from beginning to end, and the entire reincarnation universe cycles back and forth within a month, no matter what happens within this month, it will be traced back to a month ago, but neither Ni Kun nor the Lord of the Stars will lose the memory of this month.
The difference is that every time time goes back, Ni Kun can always get something besides memories, while the Lord of the Stars will only have memories left, and the root of the Heavenly Dao that he refined in a month will all disappear, and it seems that he has gained nothing.
But the Lord of Stars did not move at all, and continued to confront Ni Kun patiently, allowing the Zhu Xian Sword Formation to continuously deplete his protective galaxy.
Of course, Ni Kun’s offensive has always been in vain.
Although his realm and strength would improve after each cycle, a mere one month was still too short. After thousands of cycles, Ni Kun's strength had only improved to the point where he could barely destroy the third galaxy within a month.
The Lord of Stars owns a total of 180,000 galaxies.
This seems to be a battle that will never end, and all Ni Kun can do seems to be to trap the Lord of the Galaxy in this time loop forever.
However, even this seal is not unbreakable.
The Lord of Stars has the power to overturn the table, so it is actually very easy to break the situation.
He does not need to break the time cycle of this month. He only needs to withdraw from the root of the Heavenly Dao and allow the Heavenly Dao of the reincarnation universe to collapse, and the entire universe will collapse as a result.
The universe collapses, time and space no longer exist, the time cycle is naturally broken, and the Lord of the Stars will be able to escape.
But if he did so, the Lord of the Stars would lose all his previous efforts - his original intention was to devour the reincarnation universe and use it as nourishment to truly transcend and achieve eternal immortality.
If you give up, then this "feast" will not be considered finished, and the road to transcendence will only be halfway taken, and the way forward will be cut off.
I don’t know when I will be able to find suitable supplies next time.
But if the Lord of Stars is unwilling to give up the meal he has eaten most of, how can he break the impasse?
As long as he cannot break this time cycle, the Lord of Stars will never be able to finish this feast and will be trapped in this cycle forever.
Ni Kun expressed his confusion about this.
It seemed as if he could see the confusion in Ni Kun's heart.
After more than two thousand cycles, the Lord of the Stars said calmly:
"There have been many duels between Heavenly Lords and Dao Ancestors in the Beihuang Universe. Do you know how long it usually takes for a Heavenly Lord and Dao Ancestor to decide who is the better of the two?"
Ni Kun raised his eyebrows and said, "Would you like to ask for advice?"
The Lord of the Stars said calmly:
"The shortest battle lasted less than a year. But it was a two-on-one duel, with two Heavenly Lords versus one Heavenly Lord. In just one year, the outcome of life and death was decided.
“If two Heavenly Lords fought one-on-one, even if the strength of the two sides was very different, it would take at least thousands or even tens of thousands of years to determine the winner.
"The longest battle in the history of the Beihuang Universe lasted for more than 98,000 years. The two Heavenly Venerable Dao Ancestors fought for more than 98,000 years before they were finally separated by life and death.
"Do you know who the two Tianzun Daozu who fought against each other are?"
Ni Kun thought thoughtfully: "The one who won, couldn't it be you, my Lord?"
The Lord of the Stars smiled:
"The Heavenly Venerable Dao Ancestor is the pinnacle of the universe and has the same lifespan as the universe. With a long lifespan and extremely strong power, they will not fight easily.
"For Tianzun Daozu, all conflicts are insignificant and can be discussed. The only thing is that once a conflict occurs, it will be a fight to the death."
Ni Kun asked: "A fight over the Great Dao?"
The Lord of the Stars nodded slowly:
"The struggle of the Great Dao is irreconcilable. Once the two sides are in opposition, there is no possibility of peaceful coexistence unless one side perishes. In my entire life, I have only fought a life-and-death battle with one Heavenly Venerable Dao Ancestor. I fought that battle for more than 98,000 years, and I finally had the last laugh."
Ni Kun sighed, "No wonder you are so patient and calm in this repetitive cycle of time. It turns out that you have experience in fighting for more than 98,000 years."
The Lord of Stars said, "Up to now, this month has been cycled 2,362 times, which is less than 200 years. I have lived for tens of millions of years, and have experienced a battle that lasted for more than 98,000 years. For me, I will not be impatient to fight for another 100,000 years. And you, your real age is less than a thousand years old, right? With your state of mind, can you withstand such a long time of wasting?"
Ni Kun smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Your Excellency. I can fight until the end of the universe."
The Lord of Stars nodded: "Very good. Then let's compete to see who has more patience."
After saying that, he slowly closed his eyes and continued the seemingly futile operation of devouring the root of the Heavenly Dao.
Ni Kun focused on controlling the Xianjian Sword, and together with Taishang, Yuanshi, and Tongtian, activated the Zhuxian Sword Formation, continuing their seemingly futile efforts to dispel the attack of the Lord of Stars to protect the galaxy.
This was undoubtedly an extremely boring and even futile battle.
And it’s still unknown how long it will last.
Anyone with a shallow mind would be tormented and broken by this battle that seems to have no end in sight.
The Lord of Stars has lived for tens of millions of years and has experienced an extremely long battle. With his state of mind, he will not feel bored or tired even if he fights for another hundred thousand years, or even a million years.
Even with these two thousand time cycles, Ni Kun's actual age was only a few hundred years old. Compared with the Lord of the Stars, it was undoubtedly difficult for him to withstand the long years.
Ni Kun can endure this cycle a thousand or ten thousand times.
But what about one hundred thousand times, or a million times?
Can he really endure it forever?
Can he really maintain his high morale after such a long period of time?
The Lord of the Stars thinks Ni Kun can't do it.
Without experiencing the tempering and sedimentation of a long period of time, even if one has the strength of a Heavenly Venerable Taoist, even if one's body and soul can always maintain their peak condition, in a long battle with no end in sight, one's emotions will inevitably become dull, and even one's humanity will be worn out.
By that time, can Ni Kun still persevere stubbornly?
Time is on Ni Kun's side for now.
But if time is calculated in units of "ten thousand years", the Lord of the Stars believes that time is actually on his side.
unconsciously.
The cycle of time has repeated itself thousands of times.
This fierce battle has lasted for more than a thousand years.
A mere thousand years or so passed by like water without leaving any trace in the mind of the Lord of Stars.
Let’s look at Ni Kun.
Although he was still tirelessly urging the Zhuxian Sword Formation, his expression was numb and his eyes were empty and indifferent, as if they were in the void.
His sword skills became more and more refined, and his control over the way of the end became more and more proficient. Together with Tai Shang, Yuan Shi, and Tong Tian, ​​he activated the Zhu Xian Sword Formation, which was able to destroy more than thirty galaxies of the Lord of Stars within a month.
But his sword-swinging movements had become extremely mechanical, like a puppet implanted with predetermined instructions. He no longer had much feeling for the battle itself, and was only driven by instinct to persist in this never-ending battle.
A smile appeared on the Lord of Stars' lips.
He closed his eyes again, patiently waiting for the day when Ni Kun's emotions and even his humanity would be completely worn away.
In his opinion, that day may not be too far away.
…
Present world, seaside.
On the white sand beach.
Ni Kun lay comfortably on a cushion under a parasol, looking at a group of beautiful girls playing in the water on the beach ahead.
Zhu Yuyan, wearing a one-piece swimsuit, knelt behind Ni Kun, rested the back of his head on her thighs, and gently massaged his head.
Shan Meixian was wearing a sexier bikini, kneeling beside Ni Kun, peeling fruit for him and feeding him.
When their eyes occasionally met, Shan Meixian and Zhu Yuyan's gazes would always create intense sparks.
There were no outsiders on the beach, only Ni Kun and his girls.
Even Zhao Min, Supergirl, Xiaolongnu, and Altria were brought to the world by Ni Kun and participated in the party.
The Lord of the Stars made a mistake in calculating one thing.
In the reincarnation universe, there can only be one Ni Kun at the same time.
But Ni Kun has never only achieved enlightenment in the reincarnation universe.
The Lord of Stars was unaware of the existence of the Origin Universe, and of course did not know that the one he was fighting was only Ni Kun from a month ago. The real Ni Kun had already come to the Origin Universe with his harem.
Of course, Ni Kun did not devour all the remaining worlds in the reincarnation universe.
Just like the Lord of the Stars who refined hundreds of thousands of galaxies into his acupoints, he also refined all the remaining reincarnation worlds, including the guardian temple and the small cube-shaped reincarnation world, into his acupoints.
In this way, Ni Kun's body is equivalent to a universe.
Each acupoint is equivalent to a world.
In terms of size alone, Ni Kun is only equivalent to one-third of the reincarnation universe. Even if he controls the great way of the universe, he is far inferior to the Lord of Stars who has refined 180,000 real galaxies and swallowed two-thirds of the reincarnation universe.
But even in that one-month time loop, Ni Kun can still grow.
In the reincarnation universe, Ni Kun one month ago could get something from the disappeared Taishang, Yuanshi and Tongtian at the end of each cycle.
Ni Kun from the origin universe can also practice in the present world and comprehend the great way of the origin universe.
As for the crisis of Taoism that is too close to the Tao, one can also use the endless desires in the sea of ​​desire in the red dust of the origin universe to refine the dust of desire and merge it into the magic light of harmony to fight against it.
In the reincarnation universe, one month ago, Ni Kun was in a battle that seemed to have no end. His emotions were gradually worn away, and his humanity was gradually extinguished. He was only supported by a strong obsession and continued to fight like a puppet.
However, Ni Kun of the Origin Universe still retains his emotions and humanity.
When the two become one.
Even if the present Ni Kun cannot resist the empty and indifferent "nothingness" after countless cycles of the reincarnation universe, he still has a way to ensure that he retains the last trace of self and humanity.
As for now, of course, I am contemplating the joy of happiness, enjoying myself to the fullest, and indulging myself in the sea of ​​desire.
…
Reincarnation universe.
After more than 20,000 cycles.
clang!
A ray of sword light suddenly pierced through the protective galaxy, came in front of the Lord of Stars, and lifted a strand of his hair.
The Lord of Stars raised his eyes and glanced, but the sword light disappeared silently before it could touch his skin, as if it had never existed.
However, this phenomenon made the Lord of Stars frown slightly.
He raised his eyes to look outside the sword formation. Ni Kun, whose expression became increasingly indifferent and wooden, and whose eyes became increasingly empty and void, said indifferently:
"Yes, you have begun to truly understand the meaning of 'distance'. Now you are barely worthy of my attention."
The beginning.
Ni Kun, Tai Shang, Yuan Shi and Tong Tian set up the Immortal Execution Sword Formation, which was barely equivalent to a Heavenly Taoist ancestor and could wear down the protective galaxy of the Lord of the Stars.
But Taishang, Yuanshi and Tongtian are all projections of the imprints summoned by Ni Kun. Although the aura flowing from the Gate of Samsara makes the three leaders more vivid and more powerful than the projections, the Zhuxian Sword Formation is actually led by Ni Kun.
However, at his level, his grasp of "distance" is still quite superficial, and he is simply unable to ignore all distances like a true Heavenly Venerable Taoist.
When facing the real Tianzun Daozu.
The protective galaxy of the Lord of Stars is of no use at all.
Every true Heavenly Lord and Taoist Ancestor can easily cross the protective galaxy and deliver the attack to the Lord of the Stars.
Therefore, when fighting with the real Heavenly Venerable Taoist, the Lord of the Stars would not sacrifice the galaxy to protect his body. He would only take the galaxy into his acupoints to enhance his body's defense and the power of his attack.
This happened over 20,000 times before.
Ni Kun, who set up the Zhu Xian Sword Formation, had the power of a Heavenly Lord Daoist Ancestor, but his control over distance was too poor to deliver this power to the Lord of Stars. He could only keep attacking and destroying his protective galaxy.
Until now, after more than 20,000 cycles , Ni Kun seemed to have finally mastered the distance and sent a ray of sword light in front of the Lord of Stars.
Unfortunately, such an achievement only made the Lord of the Stars take him seriously.
Clank, clank, clank!
There were several more sword sounds, and several sword lights as broad and boundless as the Milky Way. With the power of the end of the universe, they regarded the galaxy as nothingness and directly passed through the galaxy barrier and slashed in front of the Lord of the Stars.
The Lord of the Stars glanced up again.
With a glance from those starry eyes, the sword lights disappeared again.
Next, more and more sword lights directly penetrated the galaxy and slashed in front of the Lord of Stars, brushing his hair and blowing the corners of his clothes.
But it was never able to touch even a hair of the Lord of Stars, and disappeared under the gaze of his star-like eyes.
"That's a lot of progress, but unfortunately, you don't have much emotion and humanity left."
The Lord of the Stars said calmly.
Since the galaxy was no longer able to protect his body, he simply retracted it and allowed the exterminating sword light generated by the Zhu Xian Sword Formation to sweep towards him from all directions.
He even closed his eyes, too lazy to see with his eyes. Only rich starlight bloomed around him, covering an area ten feet around him.
This time, the sword light could no longer directly penetrate the ten-foot starlight.
All the extinction sword lights collapsed and disappeared without a trace when they touched the ten-foot starlight.
This is an absolute gap in strength.
Even though Ni Kun had begun to control the distance, and even though the Lord of Stars never fought back and just sat in the void, allowing Ni Kun to attack, Ni Kun still could not break the Lord of Stars' defense.
But Ni Kun, who seemed to have little emotion and humanity left, was not discouraged.
Or rather, he has lost the feeling of being "discouraged".
He just mechanically and stubbornly, supported by an obsession, kept urging the Zhu Xian Sword Formation to continue his futile offensive.
I don’t know how many cycles have passed.
The Lord of Stars looked at Ni Kun, whose aura was becoming increasingly powerful and obscure, but whose emotions and humanity were becoming increasingly indifferent, and a strange look suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"You miscalculated one thing."
He said calmly as if talking to himself:
“You thought you could trap me in this monthly cycle forever.
“You think that I can only compete with you in patience in this endless cycle.
"Unfortunately, your realm is too shallow after all, and you can't really understand what a true Heavenly Venerable Dao Ancestor is.
“During this one-month cycle, at the end of each cycle, the gains I made from refining the origin of the Heavenly Dao will disappear due to the restart of the cycle, but my memories are still there.
"As long as the memory remains, my understanding and perception of the origin of the universe and the way of heaven will not disappear.
“What disappeared was just pure power.
"But the understanding and perception of the Great Dao has been preserved...
"For a being like me, pure power is actually of little value. What is truly useful is the insights.
"Now... I have analyzed 99% of the origin of the Heavenly Dao in this universe. Even though my control over the origin of the Heavenly Dao cannot be perfect due to the lack of the Great Dao of the Universe, except for time, everything is under my control."
As he spoke, the Lord of the Stars suddenly stood up.
After tens of thousands of cycles, the Lord of Stars, who had been sitting still and allowing Ni Kun to attack him, stood up for the first time.
As he stood up, the entire reincarnation universe vibrated in response, as if cheering.
"I already dominate the way of heaven."
As the universe trembled, the Lord of the Stars pointed out.
With this finger, billions of miles of void turned into chaos, and then the clear and turbid were separated, yin and yang were separated, earth, fire, water and wind gushed out, and new worlds were derived.
The Lord of the Stars, who controls ninety-nine percent of the source of the Heavenly Dao, already possesses the power to create the world.
certainly.
Without the vital Great Way of the Universe, the new world opened up by the Lord of the Stars cannot continue to evolve.
But it doesn't matter.
The power of creation easily separated the power of the Zhu Xian Sword Formation's end, creating an open and smooth path between the Lord of Stars and Ni Kun.
Without the sword formation blocking the way, distance no longer exists.
The Lord of Stars took a step forward and came in front of Ni Kun.
Tai Shang, Yuan Shi and Tong Tian each held the three immortal swords of Zhu, Lu and Jue and flashed to the left and right and behind the Lord of Stars, and drew their swords at the same time as Ni Kun in front of the Lord of Stars.
The four deadly swords of massacre and destruction stab the Lord of the stars together.
The Lord of Stars flicked his sleeves, sweeping away the Four Swords of Immortal Execution. Only four cracks appeared on his sleeves. Then, with a light wave of his hand, the Four Swords of Immortal Execution were taken into his palm. The projections of Taishang, Yuanshi, and Tongtian collapsed, leaving only the shadows woven by the Dao patterns, which merged into Ni Kun's body.
"You are so much . When I really attack, you won't even be qualified to fight me."
The Lord of the Stars said calmly, pointing a finger at Ni Kun's brow.
Just as the finger was about to touch Ni Kun's forehead.
Ni Kun's figure suddenly disappeared.
Disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"Huh?"
The Lord of the Stars let out a light exclamation, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
With Ni Kun's true cultivation level, how could he possibly dodge this finger from him?
What surprised the Lord of Stars even more was.
Ni Kun's presence was lost in the entire universe.
"Is it hidden in the long river of time?"
The Lord of the Stars speculated and looked down at the long river of time that connected from beginning to end.
Controlling the great way of the universe is so troublesome. You can hide in the long river of time at any time, in any corner of the past or future.
However, time can never exist independently.
Even if he has not mastered the great way of the universe, the Lord of the Stars, who has almost dominated the root of the way of the reincarnation universe, can also see through and even influence the river of time.
He put his hands behind his back and stared at the river of time below.
But what surprised him was that he could not find any trace of Ni Kun's existence.
It was as if Ni Kun had completely disappeared from this universe.
There is no trace of him in the past, present or future.
"How could this be?"
The Lord of Stars was surprised: "He jumped out of this universe? How is this possible?"
This universe is just a prototype of the universe.
Even if he becomes the master of the universe and possesses the power of the entire universe, he can only barely be compared to him, the lord of the stars.
How could a creature of this size possibly escape from the universe?
Just when I was surprised.
The long river of time below, which was connected from beginning to end and constantly circulating, suddenly stretched out again and returned to its original form with a beginning and an end.
Afterwards, the source of the long river flew towards the left hand of the Lord of Stars, and the end flew to the right hand of the Lord of Stars.
The Lord of the Stars felt something in his heart, and without resistance, he allowed the beginning of the long river to merge into his left and right, and the end of the long river to merge into his right hand.
With his current state and his control over this universe, all of Ni Kun's methods are unable to have the slightest effect on him.
I started with the Changhe painting, but found no trace of Ni Kun in it.
Although the Lord of Stars was surprised, he was now only one step away and possessed overwhelming strength. He was not afraid of any conspiracies or tricks and did not hesitate to refine the long river of time.
In an instant, the Lord of the Stars has refined this long river of time, mastered the great way of the universe, integrated the source of time of this universe into the way he has obtained, and perfected his control over this universe.
Countless lights and shadows flashed in the eyes of the Lord of Stars. That was everything in this universe from its beginning to its end.
When all this was accomplished, a heartfelt joy overflowed from the heart of the Lord of Stars.
The entire reincarnation universe was shaking with his joy and cheering like a tsunami.
The river of time surrounding him also began to stir up waves, making a sound like the echoing of jade.
The reincarnation universe began to collapse towards the Lord of Stars.
The river of time also began to shorten. Countless years of history were condensed in the hands of the Lord of Stars. Together with the collapsing universe, it turned into some kind of mysterious force, pushing the Lord of Stars to climb towards infinite heights.
Just at this moment.
Ni Kun suddenly reappeared in front of the Lord of Stars.
His face was expressionless and his eyes were empty, with only a hint of humanity in the void.
Before.
Faced with the irresistible finger of the Lord of Stars, Ni Kun indeed jumped out of the reincarnation universe and went to the origin universe.
In the same universe, at the same time, there can only be one self.
So Ni Kun, who had fought with the Lord of Stars in the Reincarnation Universe for tens of thousands of cycles, jumped to the Origin Universe and merged into one with the present Ni Kun.
Originally, in the same universe, when the same person from different time periods merge, only the memory and will will be superimposed, but the power will not be integrated.
But Ni Kun in two different time periods was in different universes.
Under the fusion, not only the memory and will are integrated, but even the strength can be superimposed.
He gave up the great way of the universe of reincarnation, but gained the way of the universe of origin.
More importantly, during tens of thousands of cycles, Ni Kun absorbed the Taoist rhyme left by Tai Shang, Yuan Shi and Tong Tian tens of thousands of times.
All these Dao rhymes come from the origin universe.
Therefore, Ni Kun now not only masters the five elements and the end.
The beginning, differentiation, evolution, existence, decline and end of the universe... this complete cycle has been integrated into his great way.
Mastering the beginning and end of the universe sounds very impressive.
But no matter how high your level of cultivation is, you can do nothing if you don't have enough strength.
Although Ni Kun's Taoism is very high, in terms of accumulated strength, he is far inferior to the Lord of Stars who has refined 180,000 real galaxies and dominated the entire reincarnation universe.
If a battle really came to pass, he might be able to hold out for more than a thousand years under the Lord of Stars, but he would still be wiped out by the Lord of Stars in the end - this was still an optimistic estimate. In fact, the Lord of Stars' aura was rising and getting stronger with every moment.
If that’s the case, why did Ni Kun appear in front of the Lord of Stars?
The Lord of Stars also found it difficult to understand Ni Kun's thoughts and looked at him curiously.
He had won a great victory, had reaped the final fruits of victory, and even had obtained the Great Avenue of the Universe. He was in no hurry to deal with Ni Kun, this "remnant".
"Congratulations Star Lord for getting what he wanted."
Ni Kun bowed to the Lord of Stars.
The Lord of the Stars smiled slightly:
"Thank you for the Great Way of the Universe. Even if you don't give it to me, I can get it myself."
Ni Kun said calmly: "But there is a huge difference between giving it and not giving it."
"Oh?" The Lord of Stars raised his eyebrows.
"The Star Lord refined 180,000 galaxies into his acupoints to prove his Dao with strength." Ni Kun said calmly, "Your understanding of 'cause and effect' may be a little superficial."
The Lord of Stars was smiling at first, but when he heard these words, his smile gradually froze.
He indeed proved his Dao through force. Although after he achieved enlightenment as the Heavenly Venerable Daoist Ancestor, he was able to draw inferences from one instance to another and had a deep understanding of cause and effect, it still seemed a little superficial compared to his own Dao.
After refining the root of the Heavenly Dao of the reincarnation universe, this shortcoming has been made up. However, the understanding of the law of cause and effect cannot be achieved overnight, and it still takes time to digest.
If Ni Kun had not mentioned it, it would have taken the Lord of the Stars some time to realize the problem. But now that Ni Kun had given the hint, in an instant, the Lord of the Stars knew the difference between giving and not giving.
The Lord of the Stars stopped smiling and said calmly:
"Your universe is full of talented people. In the past, the virtual Taoist master successfully plotted against me, causing me to delay until now, and finally succeed. I never thought that you would successfully plot against me again... It was because I was too eager to succeed, and couldn't wait to take that last step, and I thought I was invincible, that I fell into your trap."
Ni Kun sighed:
"The Star Lord is indeed invincible. When I was in charge of the Great Dao of the Universe, I observed the long river of time and deduced the future billions of times, but I could never find a way to defeat the Star Lord. All the outcomes pointed to destruction.
"I couldn't figure out the chances of winning, and I couldn't find a way to survive. It seemed like everything was hopeless. However, during one of my deductions, I suddenly realized that all the billions of deductions I had done were about how to 'defeat' the Star Lord.
"The deduction of how to 'defeat' the Star Lord will naturally always lead to destruction. Because with my accumulation and the remaining volume of this universe, I can never defeat the Star Lord who is the Heavenly Venerable Dao Ancestor and controls two-thirds of this universe. In this case, what will happen if I find another way and don't seek to defeat him?"
The Lord of Stars said calmly: "So you took the initiative to give me the Great Way of the Universe and fulfilled my wish."
Ni Kun said: "There are ten great celestial masters in the Beihuang universe. Even if I can defeat the Star Lord by chance, if the existence of our universe is known by other celestial masters, we will face the danger of extinction again. In this case, it is better to help the Star Lord."
"I'll do it... Hey, I'll do it!" The Star Lord sneered, and then said with emotion: "But you are quite decisive. You are willing to give away the Great Avenue of the Universe... Tell me a time limit."
"Ten million years." Ni Kun said calmly: "After ten million years, the Star Lord will be able to transcend."
"I will protect you for 10 million years... This is a deal..." The Lord of the Stars shook his head: "Well, for us Heavenly Venerable Dao Ancestors, except for the endless struggle over the Great Dao, all other conflicts are not worth mentioning. Now that you have fulfilled my wish, why don't I wait another 10 million years to end this cause and effect? ​​However, I have a condition."
"Star Lord, please speak."
The Lord of the Stars gazed at Ni Kun:
"I am the Daoist Master. You should worship me as your master."
…
When the reincarnation universe collapsed completely, the breath of the Lord of Stars had reached a certain limit. It seemed that in the next moment, he would be able to completely break free from any cosmic constraints and truly achieve eternal immortality. However, an invisible and intangible yet unbreakable "thread" held him back.
Even though Ni Kun did not attain enlightenment purely in the reincarnation universe, and even though he could live as long as the universe, when the reincarnation universe reached its end and collapsed completely, Ni Kun, who did not leave the reincarnation universe in time, also had his body and soul collapsed into an imperceptible dot.
At this moment, matter, energy, time and space no longer exist. Only the Lord of the Stars stands quietly in the chaos and nothingness, staring at the imperceptible dot.
I don’t know how much time passed.
A brilliant light was reflected in the eyes of the Lord of Stars.
It was an indescribable explosion.
Boundless light burst out from the small dot formed by Ni Kun's collapse, and infinite energy gushed out, breaking through the chaos and differentiating yin and yang.
The prototype of a universe was born.
In the chaos when the universe was first created, countless miniature galaxies burst out and revolved around a strange sacred mountain in the center of the universe.
Every miniature galaxy is a world.
These were the existing reincarnation worlds that Ni Kun had stored into his acupoints.
The newborn universe should not have these highly evolved worlds.
Such a world could not have existed in this nascent universe where infinite light and heat were erupting and matter and energy were in chaos.
Even with the protection of the world barrier, even with the guardian temples standing high above the worlds and shining with starlight for protection, they should have fallen apart in the chaotic Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the earth, fire, water and wind, or been swallowed and destroyed by the Chaos Demons who were born from the unstable energy ocean at the beginning of the universe, like mayflies that live in the morning and die in the evening, with short lifespans and tyrannical strength.
but.
Someone is guarding.
The Lord of Stars stepped out of the chaos and into the center of the newborn universe. He came to the top of the immeasurable sacred mountain, and with a flick of his sleeves, countless starlight emanated, covering the guardian temple and the worlds revolving around the sacred mountain.
Therefore, neither the surging energy tide nor the chaotic demons that live and die every day can touch those worlds.
The nascent universe continued to expand.
Those reincarnation worlds also evolved into complete worlds.
What used to be only the Central Plains and the four barbarians became the "round sky and square earth" world of the Tang Dynasty. At the beginning of the universe, it absorbed the innate breath of nature and evolved into a complete planet. Its size is still expanding, and its inspiration is becoming more and more abundant.
The rest of the worlds also benefited from this good fortune. The ordinary ones became extraordinary, and the already extraordinary ones became immortals.
Some extraordinary worlds began to collide and merge, evolving into a boundless and gigantic world, whose size was not inferior to the four continents of the Journey to the West world.
The Tang Dynasty world was also integrated into that huge world.
When the worlds of reincarnation evolve.
On the outskirts of those existing worlds, new stars were gradually born, and this nascent prototype of the universe began to truly grow and develop.
The explosion of the birth of the universe naturally attracted the envy of giant crocodiles.
Three pairs of huge eyes slowly opened in the chaos, looking at the nascent universe that was floating in the chaos like a bubble, constantly expanding.
"Oh, there is a newborn universe with a complete cycle from beginning to end..."
"A no-man's land with all the great ways..."
"The competent ones take the place..."
Just at this moment.
The Lord of Stars, standing high on the summit of the sacred mountain, suddenly raised his head and looked beyond the universe.
The eyes seemed to contain an infinite starry sky, with bright starlight blooming.
In the chaos, the three pairs of huge eyes that were gazing at the newborn universe suddenly trembled as if pricked by needles. Tears flowed from the corners of their eyes, fell into the chaos, merged with the chaos, and transformed into bizarre gods and demons.
"What's going on?"
"Those eyes...are those of the Star Lord?"
"How is this possible? How could he…"
Ignoring the doubts and speculations of the three pairs of giant eyes, after a brief warning, the Lord of the Stars turned around and walked into a small Taoist temple on the top of the mountain, allowing the three pairs of giant eyes to continue peeking outside.
"Master, why didn't you fight them off?"
Inside the Taoist temple, there were several cushions placed on the cloud bed. On one of the cushions, someone was already sitting, looking at the Lord of Stars with curiosity.
The Lord of the Stars glanced indifferently at the annoying young man and said calmly:
"This is your business. In order to preserve your last bit of humanity, you spent most of your strength and even your cultivation in the creation of the universe, turning it into nutrients for the growth of this universe. You are now not even one billionth of what you were at your peak, and you are far inferior to many Chaos Gods and Demons who are born and die in a day.
"I promise to protect this universe for 10 million years. While I am here, I will not allow any outsiders to invade this universe. But after 10 million years, the cause and effect will be resolved, and I will transcend and leave.
"After I leave, whether you can protect the universe you have opened up, or even compete with those innate gods and demons who are born sacred for the title of the Supreme Universe, depends on how much you have improved."
Ni Kun smiled:
