The sorrow of the master of the Miro Palace was greatly alleviated.

At this moment, his heart was filled with surprise and confusion.

What is Cao Yatianzun doing?

"Go." Cao Ya shouted softly, his hands forming a hand seal. Nine-colored rays of light surged, and two vast and boundless worlds appeared hazily above his head, obscuring the entire desolate First Era.

The master of the Miro Palace narrowed his pupils slightly; that interface... was practically comparable to a vast universe!

But then Cao Ya activated the profound mysteries of all paths, covering the sky and encompassing the first life in a short time!

With a soft, crisp sound, the nine-colored light swept across the land, leaving its mark on the myriad spirit races that had been imprinted in time and space. Cao Ya had taken away all the imprints of heaven and earth.

"Huh?" Even the master of Mi Luo Palace was taken aback.

His heart suddenly began to pound violently!

Even the master of the Miro Palace couldn't help but feel his mouth go dry.

“Cao Yatianzun, what is this… could it be…” The master of Mi Luo Palace’s voice was trembling.

“Reshaping time and space, how can these imprints remain here?” Cao Ya replied with a smile.

"But..." The master of the Miro Palace originally had similar thoughts, but unfortunately, he could not revive the imprint of all spirits and send them into the cycle of reincarnation. If he took it away, even their last trace would disappear.

Immediately, the master of the Mi Luo Palace remembered that among the laws and rules he had encountered when he fought with Cao Ya Tianzun, there were profound mysteries such as reincarnation, cause and effect, destiny, time, and space.

Perhaps, he really can do it...

The master of the Miro Palace watched nervously.

Soon, Cao Ya collected all the branding marks.

This was not a difficult task for him.

With concepts like reincarnation, spatial laws, temporal laws, and causal principles, achieving this is not easy, but it doesn't require much effort either.

Like the "Supreme Being of an Era" universe, the seven-star Other Shore Being reverses cause and effect, disrupts time and space, and treats it all as nothing.

The pseudo-Other Shore at the peak of the sixth star level, with the help of special regions, such as being in the Nine Netherworld, can also step into the past and future.

He was at the peak of the six-star level. Although he couldn't benefit from the support of the environment here, the problem was that the overall level of the [Shepherd's Chronicle] universe wasn't even at the seven-star level.

For Cao Ya, disrupting the past and seizing the future is truly effortless.

As for how to revive the brand and turn it into a living person... he possesses the life-related laws he governs, and the Great Dao of Reincarnation also plays an important role.

The reason for this was that Cao Ya had other plans.

"Boom." After all the imprints of life at the end of the First Era disappeared, Cao Ya's projection suddenly expanded, turning into a rain of light that filled the universe.

The master of the Mi Luo Palace was astonished, sensing that the phantom of Cao Ya Tianzun was absorbing the remaining energy of the First Era!

"You intend to take this energy back to the Seventeenth Era?" The master of the Miro Palace instantly understood.

"Mm." Cao Ya nodded.

That's why he collected all the imprints of all things, not only to provide them with the opportunity to reincarnate and be reborn, but also because the First Era was about to collapse, at which time all traces would be annihilated.

Moreover, by extracting energy, they also saved countless races. For those who have been gone for countless years, this loss and gain can only be a good thing!

Otherwise, they would know nothing but the final impression of dying in the Great Cataclysm!

In fact, the so-called mark is because they once appeared between heaven and earth, leaving a mark, but it is as illusory and fleeting as a shadow.

Only those with unparalleled power and supernatural abilities can use this to recreate the myriad spirit races!

"What if history collapses..."

The Master of the Mi Luo Palace was both pleasantly surprised and slightly hesitant about Cao Yatian's actions.

The imprint of life has been lost, and the energy of every time and space has been taken away...

If each era were to collapse one after another... then there would be no need for ultimate solitude; the seventeenth era would be destroyed billions of years earlier!

"Haha, don't worry, I was prepared." Cao Yalang laughed.

Then, with a flick of his sleeve, he created something based on the collected imprints of all spirits, which filled the turbulent first life.

Furthermore, various laws manifest within heaven and earth, supporting this space-time.

"These are all illusions, yet they are enough to hold the already destroyed world still."

"Moreover, even someone like the young master of the Mi Luo Palace cannot withstand the illusory Dao principles I unleash!"

"As long as you, the master of Mi Luo Palace, do not participate, there will be no problem."

"Of course, the seventh young master of the Miro Palace, Chaos... that is, Mu'er... after he attained enlightenment, he also has this ability, but he certainly won't act recklessly..."

Cao Ya hesitated for a moment. It seemed that Qin Mu's personality really needed to be explored.

However, now that Chaos has attained enlightenment, Qin Mu's strength is sufficient to salvage the situation.

There's nothing to worry about.

“Seventh Young Master’s path to chaos is not an easy one to master,” the Master of Mi Luo Palace said, shaking his head.

Of course, both of them were optimistic about Qin Mu, believing that he would most likely attain enlightenment.

“There’s no need to preserve the prehistoric eras,” Cao Ya said indifferently. “Those who have attained enlightenment can disperse their energy and return to the Seventeenth Era, thus gaining true spirits and being reborn in the future.”

"Those who put up a stubborn resistance, then just kill them!"

"All energy will return to the Seventeenth Epoch!"

"The sixteen prehistoric timelines have long since reached their end, and even with immense power, it would be of no use."

"Furthermore, those who attained enlightenment have wreaked havoc on countless eras. For example, the Sixteenth Era, which lasted only a few billion years, vanished without a trace... Ha, it's directly related to the smuggling activities of those who attained enlightenment!"

"There's still a chance for reincarnation, I'm only doing this out of respect for you."

The master of the Mi Luo Palace sighed. He had passed down his teachings to save all living beings.

Unfortunately, very few people were able to cultivate to the 36th level of the Dao Realm from beginning to end.

Many enlightened beings, unwilling to die in the Great Destruction, resorted to various methods to illegally cross over.

Furthermore, they didn't want to lose all the energy they had accumulated!

Naturally, a smuggling journey requires exchanging infinite energy with future time and space in order to meet the restrictions of the rules.

Without energy, how can one live long in future lives?

But no time or space has ever been as long as the First Age.

There are countless examples that are hundreds of billions of years old, and even some that are billions of years old!

It's been quite a while, but on the scale of the universe, what is that?

Even hundreds of billions of years is not considered very ancient; only when it exceeds five hundred billion years, or even approaches a trillion years, can it be called "eternal".

That satisfied the first century.

This shows the negative impact that the enlightened beings had on the following fifteen eras.

Cao Ya didn't kill them all, which was really out of respect for the master of the Mi Luo Palace.

But carrying energy to the Seventeenth Epoch is absolutely forbidden!

"It's good that we can survive." The master of the Mi Luo Palace sighed. "If there really is such an opportunity, I believe that many enlightened beings would be willing to exchange the energy path they have cultivated for a lifetime for a chance to be reborn."

"As for those who absolutely disagree..."

The master of the Miro Palace shook his head. There was no need to be polite to such a stubborn person.

Cao Ya smiled slightly and said, "Brother Dao, you have also been reincarnated for seventeen cycles."

"With your talent, it will probably not be long before you rise again and reach your current level."

The master of the Miro Palace said with great interest, "In the seventeenth century, the appearance of you and the Seventh Young Master is quite intriguing. I'd like to go and see for myself."

After all, this was quite different from the situation he observed at the end of the Sixteenth century.

Both of them remained calm about the energy dissipation required for the reincarnation of the Miro Palace master.

For Cao Ya, this was inevitable, and the master of the Mi Luo Palace was no exception!

Otherwise, it would have an adverse effect on the stability of the 17th-century spacetime.

He also completely agreed with the temperament of the master of the Miro Palace.

Without Cao Ya even having to ask, he voluntarily dispersed his immense magical power.

"Whoosh." Cao Ya raised his hand, recalling the projection and the vast energy he had absorbed.

Following that, the two used their unparalleled supernatural powers to overcome the two great tribulations of birth and death at the end of the first era, and traveled downstream to return to the second era.

Because the great calamity in the first era was too intense, no one survived except the master of the Mi Luo Palace, which resulted in the heroes of later generations being unable to see the first era.

However, when Cao Ya imitated the same action in the Second Era, the heroes from all directions were astonished.

"Damn it!" Many enlightened beings turned pale.

They weren't stupid. Witnessing this scene, their minds raced, and they quickly understood Cao Yatianzun's intention.

It is clear that the prehistoric eras are intended to forge the most glorious and brilliant seventeenth era!

But without energy, how could the prehistoric era still exist?

Even with the imprint of simulation and the illusory laws filling the world and anchoring each era, frankly speaking, it is no longer suitable for those who have attained enlightenment to survive.

Cao Yatianzun, isn't this digging up their very roots?!

Only the heroes of Yankang Heavenly Court were invigorated and cheered loudly.

"You should all pass away peacefully. Only in this way can you have a glimmer of hope for your souls to be reincarnated in the next life."

"Otherwise, if you still cling to your strength, you'll never have been able to sneak into the Seventeenth Era before you die!"

"Unless you are certain that you can defeat Cao Yatianzun, then you may not go and wreak havoc on the Seventeenth Era!"

The master of the Miro Palace spoke, and his voice resounded throughout the ages.

He himself was the first to respond, returning all his cultivation to heaven and earth, waiting for Cao Ya to arrive so he could take it away as well.

"Teacher, we will listen to you." The eldest son, Taishang, also followed the master of the Mi Luo Palace, and transformed himself into the Dao. Only his true spirit existed in the world, flickering like a candle flame.

"Foolish." Second Young Master Wuji sneered.

The great supernatural power that was cultivated over many eras and through many hardships and dangers cannot be easily discarded.

What if Cao Yatianzun goes back on his word...?

However, seeing the powerful beings like Cao Yatianzun who could sweep across an entire space-time at will, even the Second Young Master Wuji couldn't help but waver.

"Could it be..." The Fourth Prince Zixiao stood up excitedly in the Zixiao Palace of Yujing City at the final point of the Sixteenth Era, his whole body trembling and his lips shaking.

"Cao Yatianzun has stripped away the energy of each time and space, and also taken away the imprints of all races at the last moment of their lives. As the teacher said, they will be sent to the seventeenth century for reincarnation."

The fourth prince, Zixiao, was overjoyed. His wife had died saving him during the cataclysmic event of the tenth era.

Judging from the timeline, it is clearly within the scope of Cao Yatianzun's sealing of the mark.

He didn't care who helped him or whose side he sided with, as long as he could save his wife.

In the past, he even sought refuge with the Elder Wuya and became the Emperor of the Universe, hoping to control the destiny in order to save his wife, but unfortunately he failed.

"Disciple, follow in your footsteps, Master!" The Fourth Young Master, Zixiao, also quickly transformed into a Daoist.

In the thirteenth era, after the master of the Mi Luo Palace turned to the Dao in despair at the end of the sixteenth era, the fifth prince Wu Zong, who obeyed orders to return to the past, no longer questioned the master of the Mi Luo Palace.

"Fourth and fifth sons too..." Second Young Master Wuji was in a bad mood, making her seem like a disloyal disciple who betrayed his master and ancestors.

"However, the sixth and seventh brothers will definitely be just like me!" Thinking of this, the second young master Wuji breathed a sigh of relief.

However, inside the Chaos Palace, the Sixth Prince Zhanji was also dissolving all the Great Dao Laws within him.

"Seventh Brother, see you in the future." Sixth Young Master Zhan Ji blinked. His soul body perished, leaving only his true spirit, which contained no energy whatsoever and was extremely fragile.

The Seventh Prince, Chaos, protected the Sixth Prince's true spirit, looking towards the past universe with a joyful expression.

It has to be Cao Yatianzun; his move was an unprecedented grand gesture!

"Yes, I also need to prepare to set off, to overcome the difficulties of birth and death, and to achieve enlightenment in chaos."

"I was originally from the 17th century, but I accidentally fell into prehistory, so my situation is rather special."

"I will return to the future without needing to exchange any energy, so I won't harm the Seventeenth Era."

“Brother Taiyi, and also Venerable Ling, are similar to me.”

The Seventh Prince, Chaos, unusually stepped out of the Chaos Palace and stood in the Jade Capital City, waiting for Cao Ya, the Heavenly Venerable, to arrive in the Sixteenth Era.

Upon seeing the true spirit of the Sixth Young Master Zhanji, the Second Young Master Wuji's face darkened even further.

After all, she knew very well what kind of background the Seventh Young Master, Chaos, had.

Qin Mu, having traveled to prehistoric times and become the Seventh Prince, was already inextricably linked to the Ruins of Return.

"I refuse to believe that the Boundless Elder, and the Creators of the Sixteenth Era, would also..."

Suddenly, the second young master, Wuji, started cursing loudly.

Beneath the towering World Tree, the Boundless Old Man surveyed the heavens and earth, gazing into the vastness of time and space. His eyes flickered for a moment before he finally sat down cross-legged, and brilliant rain of light appeared on his physical body.

"Old Man Wuya, you..."

The enlightened beings around them were greatly alarmed.

That vast and unfathomable magical power, even the Boundless Old Man was willing to discard.

Without his identity as the World Tree and without the help of those who have attained enlightenment, he probably wouldn't be able to cultivate such great magical power in his later years, even until the arrival of ultimate desolation!

"What's the point of having so much energy if you can't live long?"

The old man sighed and said in a rather helpless tone, "With the energy from prehistoric times, which has filled seventeen epochs, I suppose my lifespan in the next life will surpass that of the first life, and even exceed trillions of years, without any problem!"

"Even if there is ultimate desolation, it will be a very long time from now."

"Perhaps, by then, I will have already cultivated to the fortieth level of the Dao Realm or higher!"

"But if they remain stubborn... hehe, I don't want to face the fists and palms of Venerable Cao Ya!"

"Have you not seen the lessons learned from the past of the Third Young Master Ling Xiao and the Lord of Tiandu?"

"Besides, wouldn't it be a thousand times better to be able to live a good life in a complete universe than to live in fear and worry about the terrible situation of destruction and creation today?"

"Or is it that you lack the confidence to attain enlightenment again after reincarnation?"

Old Man Wuya still harbored a small scheme in his heart.

The World Tree's merit in supporting the universe, coupled with his most powerful energy...

That Cao Ya Tianzun sent him into reincarnation, so he should at least be given a good birth, right?
