Upon hearing this, Lin Dong coughed lightly and glared at Lin Diao.

Lin Diao looked embarrassed.

He forgot that the Ice Spirit Ancestor was also present.

The Ice Spirit Clan is a native race of the Great Thousand Worlds.

They are quite different from those who ascend to immortality.

Seeing this, Ying Huanhuan smiled and shook her head.

Ice Spirit Ancestor stroked his beard and could only give an awkward smile.

Afterwards, everyone tacitly skipped over this topic.

After the banquet, the two Cao Ya went into seclusion, and Lin Dong turned the mountain where they lived into a forbidden area.

Everyone either went into seclusion like Cao Ya to cultivate unparalleled supernatural powers, or they guarded various parts of the martial realm to prevent the evil races from beyond the realm.

In short, everyone is quite busy and rarely has free time.

During this period, the two Cao Yas perfected their "Fire Codex" and "Five Thunder Heart-Righting Technique" respectively, greatly improving their strength and breaking through to the level of Immortal-Grade Heavenly Supreme.

This also signifies that the two of them have reached the five-star level of cultivation.

Of course, their combat strength is still at the late stage of Saint Rank.

There is still a long way to go before we reach the level of transcendent saints like Lin Dong and Xiao Yan.

The realms of the next half-step ruler and the great ruler are worlds apart.

Currently, the two Cao Ya are only confident of obtaining the holy title.

As for the matter of having one's true name imprinted on the Heavenly Ranking...

Let's take it one step at a time and see what happens later.

Anyway, their lifespans are infinite.

As long as you pay attention to the war that will break the seal of the Heavenly Evil God and the invasion of the extraterrestrial evil race in a few decades, you can live to the end of time.

Immortality for billions of years!

With their combined strength, no one could cause them any trouble.

Those who are stronger, like Lin Dong and Xiao Yan, have good relationships with them, so why would they cause trouble?

However, the problem is that in the near future, the Great Thousand World will break out into a final battle against the Demon Realm!

In that war, those at the late Saint-level could not play a decisive role.

Both Cao Ya felt a strong sense of urgency.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to travel the world freely and unrestrained?

Despite such diligence, he was still like a hermit.

Without external pressure, it's difficult to maintain.

"That evil god was truly too powerful. Even a half-step ruler couldn't defeat him. Only a five-star peak Grand Ruler could kill him," Cao Ya of [Martial Universe] said softly.

"Placing all my hopes on others is not my style," Cao Ya murmured in Battle Through the Heavens.

Whether Mu Chen can become a Great Ruler is up to his own destiny.

Their situation was quite different from Mu Chen's.

They are quite different from Xiao Yan and Lin Dong.

We must forge our own path!

Furthermore, their situations cannot be generalized.

"The road ahead is long and arduous..."

The two Cao Ya were in seclusion in the martial arts realm, and the changing winds and clouds of the world were none of their concern.

Only the name "Cao Ya" has spread across thousands of continents, and countless living beings have heard of it.

******

******

While the others, including Cao Ya, were making big moves.

Cao Ya in "The Nine Cauldrons" and Cao Ya in "After Ascension" also launched their final operation.

"Actually, I want to continue to lie low for a while and develop my strength stealthily."

"The current Primordial Era is not strong enough!"

[After Ascension] On the ancient land of the universe, [After Ascension] Cao Ya sighed.

He looked up at the sky and saw a black dot that appeared and disappeared, as if it were in the heavens.

"So this is the world of 'Nine Cauldrons'?" Feng Yun Wuji said softly beside him.

"Hmm." [After ascending] Cao Ya nodded.

He glanced at Feng Yun Wuji, his eyes flickering slightly.

This is Feng Yun Wuji's third divine manifestation.

This time, thanks to his influence, the martial arts of the Nine Cauldrons world were spread, greatly enhancing the strength of the ancient humans, and the number of ascendants also increased.

Millions of years of accumulation have created a vast number of powerful individuals.

However, in the face of the Demon Realm and Heaven, the ancient forces were still too weak.

In order to maximize his improvement, Feng Yun Wuji still practiced the "Mind Sword Body Technique".

However, this time, Feng Yun Wuji created three separate spirits, making a total of four bodies including his original body.

This being abandoned all emotions, possessing only absolute rationality. Coupled with Feng Yun Wuji's extraordinary comprehension, his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. After a million years of cultivation, he surpassed the Primordial Supreme!

The first part of the spirit then infiltrated the demon realm, causing all sorts of trouble, hindering the demon realm, and exacerbating its internal strife.

The second part of his soul continued to cultivate the ancient martial arts, and he retained his emotions, still deserving to be called a true "human".

As for the third avatar, it cultivates the martial arts of the Nine Provinces Continent, making remarkable progress and already surpassing the level of the strongest.

Of Feng Yun Wuji's four bodies, the original body is the strongest, followed by the second and third avatars, while the first avatar is the weakest.

Now, the one talking to Cao Ya is his third divided spirit.

"We really don't have enough time," Feng Yun Wuji said regretfully.

If another hundred million years were to pass, the strength of the ancient humans would surely rival that of the Demon Realm and Heaven!

There is even hope of transcendence!

However, the gods of light and darkness will no longer give the ancient human race time to develop.

This is because the world of "Nine Cauldrons" is about to fall into the primordial era and merge with it.

This earth-shattering change was unprecedented for the gods of light and darkness.

Those who wielded the laws had a premonition that this should be prevented from happening.

Otherwise, the consequences will be dire!

Therefore, the Supreme God ordered Heaven and the Demon Realm to prepare for war, and countless experts emerged from the mountains to invade the ancient times and crush the human race.

Furthermore, the thirteen Dark Gods and the thirteen Light Gods have all planned to personally take action to kill the Four Sacred Beasts and the ancient supreme powerhouses.

Whew~~

Just then, the figure of the White Tiger Supreme appeared.

He overheard Cao Ya's conversation with Feng Yun Wuji and looked worried.

"The only option now is to fight!" the White Tiger Supreme said in a deep voice.

Cao Ya and Feng Yun Wuji's third divine sense both nodded.

Immediately afterward, the White Tiger Supreme said in a comforting tone:

"Currently, our strength is no weaker than it was during the first war between gods and demons!"

"We can't say we're completely without confidence in dealing with the Demon Realm and Heaven."

"We don't need to win, as long as we hurt them, we can win a space for the human race to reproduce."

Cao Ya remained silent.

The White Tiger Supreme is one of the four supreme beings of the ancient times.

The White Tiger Supreme was a participant in the first ancient war between angels and demons.

He had a lot to say about the strength of those two tribes.

Yet his demeanor was so pessimistic.

From beginning to end, he had no intention of winning.

They racked their brains trying to preserve the flame of humanity!

This shows just how terrifying the pressure exerted by the gods of light and darkness truly was.

Rest!

Subsequently, the Vermilion Bird Supreme, the Black Tortoise Supreme, the original body of Feng Yun Wuji, and the second avatar all appeared one after another.

Currently, these individuals are the strongest human beings in the entire ancient land.

“In every world, there are also extremely powerful beings who are no less than us. If we join forces, we may have a chance to rival the gods of light and darkness,” Xuanwu Supreme said with a hint of anticipation.

The Vermilion Bird Supreme and the White Tiger Supreme exchanged a glance.

They are not so optimistic.

In front of Cao Ya, Feng Yun Wu Ji, and Xuan Wu Zhi Zun, they did not hide their worries.

"In the Primordial Land, martial artists who have just ascended from the lower planes are only at the Primordial level. Then there are the Emperor level, the God level, and the God level. Among these, the difference between the minor realms within the God level is even greater than the difference between the Emperor level and the God level!"

At this point, the White Tiger Supreme shook his head and said:

"And after the God level, there is the Supreme."

"Only after the Supreme Being comes the Chief God!"

"The reason why we four supreme beings, when we join forces, can barely fight against a main god is not because we are so powerful, but simply because of... the four sacred beasts!"

"Although Xuanyuan is gone, Wuji, you have stepped up and gained the approval of the Azure Dragon Sacred Beast, and are able to wield its power."

He glanced at Cao Ya again, paused slightly, and continued:

"Of course, Cao Ya, you are also very strong. In a one-on-one fight, none of us, not even Wuji himself, can match you."

The Vermilion Bird Supreme took over the conversation and sighed:

"If we work together, we can probably hold off two or three main gods."

"In the world of 'Nine Cauldrons,' there are also powerful beings, but they are not yet at the level of a main god."

"Even if they can manage to hold off one of them."

"There are at most four main gods."

"And there are a total of twenty-six chief gods on both the light and darkness sides!"

"Each side has thirteen main gods!"

"How can we defend ourselves if they mobilize?"

"We only hope that once we have the power to threaten their existence, the God of Light and Darkness will be wary and take the initiative to withdraw their troops."

After speaking, both the Vermilion Bird Supreme and the White Tiger Supreme gave bitter smiles.

In the first war between gods and demons, humanity was defeated, and Xuanyuan, one of the four supreme beings, perished.

Because the gods of light and darkness needed human faith, they never completely exterminated the human race.

The existence of the Primordial Era was also tacitly acknowledged.

Otherwise, even with the Four Sacred Beasts and the Four Supreme Beings merging with them, and their strength greatly increased, they would still find it difficult to rival a single God!

Countless years have passed, and Cao Ya and Feng Yun Wuji have risen to prominence almost simultaneously, and a new martial art has also spread.

The number of ascendants in the Primordial Era is not only increasing, but their overall strength is also rising by leaps and bounds.

The three, including the White Tiger Supreme, gradually awoke from their slumber.

Furthermore, Feng Yun Wuji's second divine body gained the approval of the sacred beast Azure Dragon.

The spots for the Four Supreme Beings are still full.

The Four Sacred Beasts Formation is powerful enough to rival a supreme god!

Not to mention, they also have Cao Ya, a powerhouse who is almost beyond the Supreme level.

Feng Yun Wuji's other three bodies, especially his main body and third avatar, are also extremely powerful.

To be fair, the strength of the ancient world has indeed made a great leap forward.

However, the difference in strength between the Primordial Era and Heaven and the Demon Realm was indeed worlds apart.

How to resolve the conflict between the thirteen gods of light and darkness?

It can't be solved!

Under the gods of light and darkness, angels and demons are all cannon fodder, inexhaustible and everlasting.

Like angels from heaven, they have no self-awareness whatsoever. Created by the Lord of Light, they travel through countless planes to spread the so-called "Lord's" glory and expand faith.

On the contrary, the demons of the demon realm are able to have self-awareness.

But at the command of the Dark God, which demon would dare to defy him?

We have no choice but to obey!

Furthermore, the accumulated power of the Demon Realm and Heaven over countless billions of years, even disregarding the main gods, far surpasses that of ancient humans in terms of the number of powerful figures among angels and demons alone.

However, at the Supreme level, humanity is currently ahead due to the four sacred beasts born from chaos.

However, once the main god joins the battlefield, even the sacred beasts will find it difficult to match him.

"It will take more time..." Feng Yun Wuji's true form said indifferently.

The White Tiger Supreme, the Vermilion Bird Supreme, and the Black Tortoise Supreme were all well aware that the Primordial Era needed time the most right now.

But the gods of light and darkness will not give them time to develop.

In that chaotic demon realm, in that paradise of holy light, the army has assembled and is ready to march into the ancient times at any moment.

The opportunity is merely waiting for that extraterrestrial world to fall into this universe.

The two great races have never worried about the outcome of their battles against the ancient ones.

Victory, and more victory!

With the support of their divine backer, how could they possibly lose?!

Although the Supreme Being is powerful, he is still inferior to the Chief God.

The former is at its peak four-star level, while the latter has already reached five-star level!

"Your Majesty, all forces are ready for battle and have set off to guard the borders and defend against enemies beyond the Primordial Era!"

2k novels

Just then, a large group of figures flew over.

Cao Ya turned around.

He saw many familiar faces.

There were martial artists from the same world as him who ascended to the Primordial Era, such as Guang Chengzi, Yan Fei, and Sun En from the previous era, as well as later figures like Tian Dao Song Que, Xie Wang Shi Zhixuan, San Zhenren Ning Daoqi, Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, Shi Feixuan, and Wanwan.

And later, top masters such as Ling Donglai, Chuanying, Pang Ban, and Lang Fanyun.

Besides these ascendants, a large number of experts from the ancient homeland also appeared here.

Such as the experts of the Holy Temple, the leaders of the Witch Clan, the leaders of the magic cultivators, the high-ranking members of other forces, and the powerful figures among the rogue cultivators...

After the Supreme Beings issued the order to prepare for war, they also noticed the movements in the Demon Realm and Heaven.

Instantly, everyone understood.

The Second War Between Gods and Demons is about to break out!

After intensive preparations for war, numerous forces and countless experts have been stationed along the borders of the ancient world.

Due to the spread of the new martial arts, the overall strength of Taigu has indeed increased.

"Which world, and when did it fall?" The Vermilion Bird Supreme looked up at the sky, trying to understand the true nature of the world that Cao Ya called the "Nine Cauldrons Chronicle".

She could sense that many powerful beings in the universe, such as the gods of light and darkness, were constantly gathering information about that world.

Such a situation has never occurred in billions of years.

Even if the gods of light and darkness had their emotions extinguished and were left only with reason and instinct, they still desperately wanted to know everything about that world.

Why did this unfamiliar, vast world merge into our universe?!

"Soon! In the next few days," Cao Ya replied.

With his power, he was able to connect with himself in another world.

In fact, his concerns were more about the development of Swire.

With him and Cao Ya of the Nine Cauldrons Chronicle, plus the three supreme beings of White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, as well as Feng Yun Wuji and others.

He was confident that he could deal with the gods of light and darkness.

A five-star level existence, who isn't?

Of course, it's probably still quite risky for one person to fight thirteen.

Most importantly, after ascension, the universe possessed a supreme law of balance.

That's the most deadly thing.

For humanity to truly rise to power, it must both rely on the law of balance and break free from its influence.

The scale is difficult to control.

This time, the attack by the gods of light and darkness occurred millions of years earlier than the original timeline.

Cao Ya let his thoughts wander, his divine sense breaking through the void, as if trying to enter the world of "The Nine Cauldrons".

"Gentlemen, I, Gongsun, am guilty!"

Suddenly, the White Tiger Supreme faced everyone and knelt down with a thud.

Cao Ya was startled.

Countless people were shocked and horrified.

Only the Vermilion Bird Supreme and the Black Tortoise Supreme seemed to understand the White Tiger Supreme's actions, and their faces showed shame.

【The Nine Cauldrons】World.

The Nine Provinces Continent.

The main base of the Wuting.

[The Nine Cauldrons] Cao Ya opened his eyes and looked around.

All sorts of heroes gathered there, including elders from a thousand years ago such as Teng Qingshan, Qin Shiqi, and Pei San, as well as masters who had risen to prominence over the past millennium, including divine beasts from various regions such as the Nine Provinces Continent and the Duanmu Continent.

Because of the world of "Nine Cauldrons Chronicles", it entered the universe of "After Ascension". As a result, this world was upgraded, the subsequent path was opened, and the strongest can no longer break through the void.

And at the same level, one can live a longer time.

For example, those with innate talent used to live for two hundred years, and now they can live dozens of times longer, which is not a problem.

Entering the Void Realm and Penetrating the Void Realm are even more directly related to immortality!

Of course, the flow of time in the two universes is still vastly different.

Millions of years have passed in the universe after the ascension, but only a thousand years have passed in the world of "Nine Cauldrons".

"That world called Primordial Era is now within reach."

A thousand years later, Teng Qingshan had long since become a four-star existence, surpassing the strongest and reaching the level of a minor realm.

His eyes shone with divine light, piercing through the fog of the universe.

“Because our world is relatively weak, the restrictions we face are correspondingly fewer,” Cao Ya said.

Teng Qingshan, Qin Shiqi, Pei San, and others looked at each other in bewilderment.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Buzzing...

Suddenly, the void shattered, and several illusory figures appeared one after another.

"I sensed it; it's the energy of the Middle Realm."
