Since you reached the first rank, you've begun to sense mysterious gazes directed at you.

[Like... that great galactic lord at the end of the River Lord's Path!]

"But that's not right. Isn't the Lord of the Galaxy a natural wonder? Or perhaps there's some kind of barrier separating it?"

[Song Bai couldn't possibly lie to Eleven. Yun Eleven isn't just his adopted son; even if he murdered his father, he couldn't ascend to the throne.]

"What natural phenomenon gave birth to will?" you wonder. "Or am I just being too sensitive, mistaking resonance for observation?"

[You descended more than ten times, observing the Dao principles within you with ten thousand times the enlightenment.]

[However, the system is incomplete, and the principles are flawed. You spent a month in reality and countless hours in your premonition, only to discover that this system, when cultivated to a certain level, is indeed connected to something, with an invisible "belt" linking you to that thing.]

However, that thing could be either a "deity" or a "wonder," and it's impossible to draw a definitive conclusion once you truly break through to later levels.

[A level of comprehension a thousand times greater can penetrate the principles of the universe and understand its true nature; the problem lies in the existence of those principles!]

[If your level of understanding is too low, the Dao will not manifest. No matter how high your comprehension, you cannot create things out of thin air!]

[It's like... an ancient person with exceptional comprehension, capable of understanding mechanical principles. So, even if an airplane were placed in front of him, undisassembled, unused, and he wasn't allowed to enter, only able to see the outer shell, he could still deduce that it was a manned, flyable object.]

However, if only a small section of the aircraft's tail is shown to him, he would never be able to discern the "manned" and "flying" functions from it.

[Before you've fully mastered the system, you'll also be unable to see the whole picture.]

"Even if some of the forty-six paths are inhabited by true gods, and others are merely natural wonders, Song Bai has still cultivated the Path of the River Lord!"

"Is it the influence of destiny that caused the Lord of the Galaxy to overlook Song Bai's existence?"

【"still……"】

[You realized that possibility, and your expression turned grim.]

Which possibility is it?

Yun Shou's mind hadn't quite caught up yet; he hadn't expected this.

In the simulation, it was written that the twelfth brother felt something was wrong. In just a few lines of text, the other party had been thinking for who knows how long. Just looking at the Dao principles on his body took him a month.

But in his own eyes, less than a few seconds had passed, and he couldn't figure it out for a moment.

Two seconds later, Yun Shou gave up trying to think.

Given the emulator's display speed, he probably hadn't even considered the truth yet, and it had already appeared on the screen.

If that's truly the reason, then your thirty years of cultivation in this lifetime have undoubtedly been wasted. At most, you've only gained a slight increase in your essence, without raising your level at all. You must destroy this lifetime.

[But... you've already cultivated to the highest level, and you'll reach the sixth realm in about 30 years. Who knows, you might find out that everything before was just an illusion once you reach the sixth realm!]

[Your essence is simply too high, and your affinity with the Milky Way is also extremely high, which is why the sensation is much stronger—more than eight thousand times stronger than Song Bai's when his essence was only one time that of him. It's like being watched by a living being.]

"It's a sunk cost. The twelfth brother has already invested thirty years of his life and he's unwilling to give up so easily."

Yun Shou sighed softly to himself.

Yun Twelve has entered gambler mode, and it's expected that the next 30 years will be used to gamble on the Summoning God system without any problems.

If there's a problem, it'll just mean wasting an extra 30 years. The remaining three to four thousand years of cultivation time will be reduced by one percent. Adding the 30 years of rebuilding from before, it's only a waste of two percent, so it's not too bad.

But if the bet is successful and it turns out that he just has sensitive skin—then he'll make a fortune!

A system with a Dao Seal quality of 9 can be completed in just 60 years. There are 46 such systems in total!

Although some of them involved murder and arson, which were too disgusting for him to practice, there were still more than 30 that he could walk!

It can significantly increase the speed of Twelve's strength enhancement, allowing him to gain the power to break out of the Yuantian Realm independently more quickly!

In the year 3113, the people lived in peace and prosperity during the Great Birthday celebration. Many abandoned the Summoning Gods system and instead cultivated the White Longevity system to strengthen their bodies and prolong their lives.

This system spread to other countries, requiring no knowledge of strange rituals or the collection of exotic materials, and was regarded as the true path to salvation for mortals.

In 3117, the Great Longevity Dynasty incurred the hostility of the "Luo Tian Sect," who declared the White Longevity system heretical and disrespectful to the gods, vowing to eradicate this cultivation method from the world.

The Luo Tian Sect has multiple First-Rank cultivators who govern hundreds of dynasties in this region. The predecessor of the Da Shou Dynasty, the Da Min Dynasty, was too remote, so the Bai Shou system only recently came to their attention.

After a thorough investigation, the Luo Tian Sect was enraged, because such a system of supernatural powers that allowed one to gain strength without worshipping gods was disrespectful to the deities!

Just in case, they even deployed thirty-three second-rank summoners from different backgrounds, any one of whom was superior to Liang Zi in the past.

[Following these second-rank beings, there is also a first-rank being who is kept in reserve!]

A single strike from it can destroy an area spanning dozens of miles, erasing a city from the map—more terrifying than a natural disaster!

In 3118, the Luo Tian Sect was destroyed, and the Da Shou Dynasty swept across the land, aiming to convert all the hundreds of dynasties under the Luo Tian Sect into its own provinces.

"Fleeting."

[In 3121, one-tenth of the hundreds of dynasties were subjugated. Some of these dynasties were even more abstract than the Great Min of yesteryear, and their fates were dominated by various blood cults and heretical sects.]

[Occasionally, a city would be selected, and one-quarter of the population from each household would be taken away for a blood sacrifice.]

"The Nightmare Realm is nothing but piles of defenses."

"Ordinary people in this world can only choose to eat the least smelly one."

"But—I'm here!"

In this Yuan Tian Domain where everyone is anthropomorphized, your Great Shou Dynasty radiates the brilliance of humanity.

[In 3124, you were promoted to "Guardian of the Gods".]

[That means you've reached the fourth realm, the pinnacle of this Yuan Tian Domain in terms of level!]

As for strength? It was already there ten years ago!

[In 3125, the neighboring World-Wandering Cult plans to launch a sneak attack while you are conquering the various dynasties, disrupting the Great Birthday celebrations and draining your energy.]

[You seem quite curious about how this weak sect, even weaker than the Luo Tian Sect, managed to muster the courage to provoke you.]

"I know how to do this question; Fish Leong gave it to them."

In 3126, the Great Shou Dynasty launched a two-pronged attack, one side conquering the former territory of the Luo Tian Sect, and the other annexing the former territory of the Xun Shi Sect.

In short, it's just steaming non-stop.
