[The Supreme Being] In the universe, in the realm of reality.

As the end times approach, various ancient and great figures are also being resurrected one after another.

Bodhisattvas and Buddhas in Buddhism, True Lords and Celestial Venerables in Taoism, Great Sages and Lesser Sages in the Demon Race...

Previously, powerful forces that were only seen in ancient history, such as Biyou Palace, Yuxu Palace, and Buddhism, have also appeared in the present world.

However, these ancient and prehistoric giants are generally still just legends and creations.

Some are even just at the Celestial Realm.

Among the heroes of today, there are many who have broken through the barriers of legend and destiny, and can be compared with great powers!

As for the supreme beings beyond the shore... so far, although various traces have manifested, none have returned in full.

There was only one Azure Emperor. After being awakened, he recognized the past and the future. During this period, he forcibly broke through to the realm of perfect creation and finally reached the other shore. This was the "divine will" that remained in the world!

After the Azure Emperor, the most powerful figure was not an ancient leader from the Taoist, Buddhist, demonic, or monster sects, but a pillar of the Crimson Mystic Sect in the Real World—the "Indestructible Arhat"!

Of course, the "Indestructible Arhat" is now revered as the "Indestructible Buddha"!

"The traces of those from the other side are becoming increasingly obvious."

Deep within the Nine Netherworlds, Cao Ya paused, raised his head, his eyes gleaming with divine light as he gazed up at the Real World.

After he acquired the power of perfect creation, equivalent to a six-star high-level being, he traveled through all the heavens and myriad realms, including the dilapidated Nine Heavens of the Immortal Realm. Finally, he even came to the Nine Netherworlds to measure the heavens and earth and comprehend the Dao of the Other Shore.

The Nine Netherworlds are a special region where evil spirits and heretics reside. They receive blessings from the Nine Netherworlds, which help them improve their realm and combat power!

For example, the perfect creation of the Demonic Sect lineage is comparable to the pseudo-Other Shore in the Nine Netherworlds.

In other words, he went from the advanced level of six stars to the peak of six stars!

[The Supreme Being] The universe is said to be five-star, creation is six-star, and the other shore is seven-star!

When Cao Ya first entered the Nine Netherworlds, although he possessed the ultimate power of a six-star high-level creation, he was slightly inferior to some of the powerful demons of the same realm in this place.

After all, here, the other party can be elevated to the peak of six stars and is known as the pseudo-other shore!

However, Cao Ya has been recognized as the master of the seven-star peerless divine weapon - the Reincarnation Seal. His combat power is not inferior at all. He even fought against the Xuanming Ghost Emperor and the Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable, showing great divine power!

Later, Cao Ya's overall combat strength also improved, and he even dominated the Nine Netherworlds, becoming invincible here!

Everyone says that in this world, with the Demon King and Demon Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, these two other beings of the Demonic Sect, both fallen, there is no one in the Nine Netherworlds who can stand against the Undying Buddha!

In reality, among all the heavens and the true realm, only the Azure Emperor, who has ascended to the other shore, can surpass the Indestructible Buddha!

The rest, including Guangcheng Tianzun, Shijian Zizai Wang Fo, Dipankara Gufo, and Duobao Tianzun, are all inferior.

"The Azure Emperor has reached the other shore, and the Eternal Mother, Amitabha Buddha, Bodhi Buddha, and others will soon return as well," Cao Ya murmured to himself.

Those on the other shore are either sealed away, like the Demon Buddha, or because the meaning of the Great Dao they represent is too profound to be concealed, so they can only remain in the world, like the Moral Celestial Venerable in the Journey to the West world. Or they may escape into chaos and slumber, leaving behind Dao markers, like the Eternal Mother, etc. They are just waiting for the final calamity to arrive, when they are touched, they can immediately revive and reappear in the real world to compete for the great opportunity of the final calamity!

"The final calamity... Ah, the end of a complete era, containing boundless Daoist wisdom!"

"Especially after Dao Zun pioneered the path of 'reducing to seek emptiness' and seized the great fortune of the Primordial Era, reaching the Dao Fruit Realm on the other shore and transcending to the afterlife..."

Ordinary seekers of the other shore, even the ancient ones, who strive for emptiness through reduction, have not yet achieved perfection and have no hope of attaining the ultimate goal.

But those oldest ones... the Three Pure Ones, Amitabha Buddha, the Demon Emperor, the Eternal Mother...

"My goal is to reach the other side, to step out of the chessboard and take control of one's own destiny."

"The realm of Dao Fruit is too far away, corresponding to the eight-star level, which is beyond my reach as a mere six-star peak cultivator."

Cao Ya shook his head. In the [Peerless One] universe, the gap between a seven-star Other Shore Being and those below the Other Shore is the greatest!

Erasing the timeline, arbitrarily rewriting history, and distorting cause and effect are all very easy!

The saying "Heaven's will has always been difficult to fathom" perfectly illustrates this point.

If you don't reach the other shore, you won't even know when you die, and no one will even remember your existence!

"Now, I'm quite confident that I can reach the other side, but..."

Cao Ya was well aware that by supporting the Crimson Mystic Sect and spreading the ideas of human will conquering nature and equality to all in the real world, coupled with his previous deeds, he had offended many important figures.

If he tries to break through, many enemies will take the opportunity to make trouble and block him!

Even Meng Qi and the others who were considered helpers had only reached the Creation stage. They were the objects of the Other Shore, seeking emptiness and receiving cause and effect and cultivation. However, it would still take time for them to improve and they could not achieve it overnight.

Cao Ya can only rely on himself!

"Fortunately, my combat strength has actually reached the initial stage of the seventh star, which is comparable to that of those on the other side."

This is why Cao Ya is so confident that he will achieve his goal.

The only things to worry about are the enemies who will definitely appear and obstruct our path.

"Therefore, we must wait for an opportune moment... when those on the other side are too preoccupied to attend to other matters..."

Cao Ya knew that such an opportunity would arrive soon.

Based on the information in the original book and his own experiences in this real universe, Cao Ya was able to basically deduce that the day of the return of the Eternal Mother was not far off.

When that time comes, the Eternal Mother, wanting to merge with Gu Xiaosang and allow her sect to spread throughout the world, is destined to take action against Meng Qi and Gu Xiaosang.

The Black Emperor will also seize this opportunity to boldly ascend to the other shore...

For Cao Ya, this was a golden opportunity!

"Last time, when the Azure Emperor attained enlightenment, my realm and power were lacking, and I was unable to break through."

"This time, however, there are no flaws, making it easy to seize!"

"Moreover, the Demon Buddha and his group have not yet emerged. Even if they have backup plans, they are not in their complete form."

"If this drags on any longer, all those on the other side will return... and then we'll truly be left to fate!"

Cao Ya didn't need to remind them of anything. The threat from the Eternal Mother had always been a thorn in the side for Meng Qi and Gu Xiaosang, and they dared not relax their vigilance at any time. So why did he need to warn them?

As for the Black Emperor... this is the opportunity he has been waiting for. He has painstakingly planned for it for countless years, and he will not miss it no matter who tries to persuade him. Besides, he is not familiar with the Black Emperor.

"With the end of the world approaching, everyone wants to take another leap forward and reach the heavens!"

"Well, I'm one of them too."

Cao Ya took out the Reincarnation Seal. The seal trembled slightly, releasing a special meaning.

This seal was created in ancient times, on the day Houtu ascended to the other shore. She then reincarnated to complete the universe, and this peerless divine weapon came into being.

Although the Demon Buddha controlled the Reincarnation Seal, he was not recognized. Cao Ya was able to take it over later.

Cao Ya, too, gradually embarked on the path of reincarnation from the Buddhist path she initially followed at Shaolin Temple!

Of course, he also has profound attainments in Buddhist teachings and Taoist martial arts.

Cao Ya has learned several moves of Dao Zun's "Seven Swords of Heaven Interception" and Buddha's "Tathagata Palm"!

"Don't worry, my breakthrough is planned, it shouldn't fail." Cao Ya's palm brushed over the Samsara Seal.

Cao Ya's greatest source of confidence comes from his own Seven Star Initial-level combat power and the Reincarnation Seal!

To be honest, if he left the Nine Netherworld right now and returned to the Real World to challenge the Azure Emperor who had attained enlightenment... he would basically be in a winning situation!

Of course, he can only fight ordinary Seven Star beginners. As for the ancient Seven Star intermediates and the oldest Seven Star advanceds, Cao Ya is currently not up to the task.

No matter how powerful a peerless divine weapon is, once it touches upon the level of the Other Shore, it is still only at the level of an ordinary Other Shore. In fact, it will even lose to someone from the Other Shore in a one-on-one fight. How can it possibly contend against the ancients or the most ancient beings?!

However, in a battle between equals, having a suitable weapon is definitely an advantage.

Basically, those from the other side and the ancients all care about peerless divine weapons.

Only the oldest ones don't care much anymore.

Afterwards, Cao Ya waited for a long time in the Nine Netherworld, and finally—

"Welcome back, Mother!"

Cao Ya observed that in many regions of the real world, the messengers and believers of the Luo Cult were bowing in reverence or prostrating themselves on the ground towards the infinitely high sky, showing the utmost respect!

Beneath a holy deity, lotus flowers seem to bloom. The deity's attire is elaborate and ancient, yet it carries a sense of lightness that is both incongruous and remarkably elegant.

This deity's face is obscured, but its deep, unsettling eyes leave a lasting impression.

“The Eternal Mother, the Ancient Golden Emperor…” Cao Ya thought to himself. The Eternal Mother was the Golden Emperor of the ancient Heavenly Court, in charge of the metal element and the chaos of war. Unlike the Heavenly Emperor, the Black Emperor, the Green Emperor, and the Fire Emperor, few of her deeds have been passed down. Later, it was even rumored that she had reached the end of her life and passed away.

In reality, the Golden Emperor, having obtained the [Limitless Seal] and the Lingbao Dao lineage, combined with the incense and divine path, broke through the natural barrier and quietly ascended to the other shore, transforming into the "Eternal Mother" and founding the Luo Sect.

Finally, the Eternal Mother also tried every means to compete with the Three Pure Ones and others for the position of Dao Fruit, but in the end she was outmatched and suffered a great defeat, dying and disappearing.

For the Three Pure Ones, the treasures they left behind were both a means of "reducing and seeking emptiness" and a backup plan.

Regardless of who the important figure who has obtained this opportunity is, and whether they will stand against them after becoming a being on the other side, there are plans to suppress them.

After all, with the Three Pure Ones united, their combined power would only be greater. Furthermore, the Three Pure Ones had secretly reached an agreement with the Buddha…

Unless the Daoist Master returns and stops the Three Pure Ones, where is there any worry about failure?

The ambitions of the Unborn Mother are basically doomed to fail.

She might as well continue to wait and try to compete for the Dao Fruit in the next era as a Being of the Other Shore. There's no need to put all her bets on this one era!

As for the pawn Gu Xiaosang... if she changes her mind, Gu Xiaosang won't need to appear at all! Even if she still comes into the world, it won't affect the Eternal Mother.

"The Black Emperor is about to appear." Cao Ya also sensed that the Black Emperor's aura was faintly visible.

It was indeed very well hidden; even the pseudo-other shore of the Nine Netherworlds had not discovered it.

However, Cao Ya already possessed the combat strength of a Seven-Star Initial Stage, so the Black Emperor's methods could not deceive him.

"Amitabha! The gates of the Tushita Palace of the Heavenly Venerable of Morality have been blocked, and the Demon Emperor's Palace has also been blocked by the incarnation of the Ancient Buddha Bodhi, the Daoist Zhunti..." Cao Ya breathed a sigh of relief. This was also his chance!

At this moment, due to the forced return of a true being from the other shore, all kinds of peerless divine weapons sensed it and emitted different fluctuations.

Human Emperor Sword, Time Blade, Demon Saint Spear, Nether Sea Sword, Demon Emperor Claw, Overlord's Absolute Blade...

The relevant figures were also greatly shocked. At this time, the final calamity was only showing signs and had not yet erupted, so how could there be beings on the other shore? And not even the likes of the Moral Celestial Venerable, who had never truly disappeared...

In particular, the immortals and gods of the Chan Sect, such as Guang Chengzi, Yu Ding Zhenren, Chi Jingzi, Dao Xing Xianzun, and Nezha, were greatly shaken and felt fear and trepidation.

Because they were directly warned by the Eternal Mother!

If they dare to intervene and help Meng Qi and Gu Xiaosang, then the Eternal Mother will not show leniency to the Jade Void Palace just because of the Primordial Celestial Venerable's face, but will forcibly eliminate it!

However, after the initial fear subsided, the immortals of Jade Void Palace burst into laughter.

"Life and death are things we value, but if we stand by and watch the Jade Void Sect Leader (Meng Qi) be hunted down by our mother, what face will we have left to call ourselves immortals and gods of the Jade Void Palace? We might as well just slit our own throats!"

The immortals of Jade Void Palace activated their respective treasures and immortal swords, pointing them directly at the gods in the heavens.

This scene is like a reenactment of the scene during the Investiture of the Gods, when the immortals of the Jie Sect, indignant at the Primordial Heavenly Lord, used the spiritual treasures of heaven and earth!

The overseas Jiejiao lineage, such as Duobao Tianzun and the Three Immortal Maidens, were all able to see him, but instead of showing any joy, they looked bitter and sighed deeply.

They perished when they were conferred the titles of gods, but they did not die completely. Once they were listed on the Investiture of the Gods, they were restored, only without the hope of advancing further.

In the late ancient times, they all seized the opportunity to break free from the shackles of the Investiture of the Gods and were reborn as humans! Even those in worse situations could calmly establish their lineages, then pass away peacefully and be reborn in the universe.

This time, with the Eternal Mother making her move, I fear not a single one of the Jade Void Immortals will survive!

In fact, everyone will forget the existence of the Jade Void Immortals!

Only those who are on the false other shore or the other shore can remain unaffected, but even they cannot be resurrected.

“‘Heaven’s will has always been difficult to fathom…’” The Three Immortal Maidens sighed.

The terror of those on the other shore surpasses all existence; legends and fortunes are nothing but ants.

"Jade Void Palace is doomed." Duobao Tianzun whispered, his immortal sword trembling as if he was about to make a move, but looking at the holy deity above the nine heavens, he lost his will to fight.

"In the future, if we are to rebuild the Yuxu Palace's lineage, I'm afraid we will have to put in the effort."

Duobao Tianzun sighed, "Even though the Jie Sect and the Chan Sect are not on good terms, they were originally as close as family. Although they later broke off relations, they all went through various disasters, and many of their fellow disciples died after the great calamities of ancient and medieval times. They also became indifferent to many pointless disputes over face."

Under the Sanqing School, one cannot simply watch another school be completely destroyed without leaving a trace.

"Whoosh." Finally, after thinking for a moment, Duobao Tianzun gritted his teeth and risked offending Wusheng Laomu, handing out the immortal sword to cover part of the Jade Void Palace's territory and protect its inheritance.

Duobao Tianzun deeply understood the actions of the Jade Void Immortals and would not try to dissuade them. Moreover, he knew that once the immortals drew their swords, the outcome was already predetermined.

How can the Jade Void Palace lineage of the Chan Sect be overthrown?

There must be some Dharma gates and temples left behind so that the lineage can be continued in future generations, in accordance with the number of the Three Pure Ones!
