A sense of foreboding rose in Yun Shou's mind.

"Holy crap, is that bastard messing with me?"

"He has become the Lord of Time and escaped from the simulator, but he is now deliberately hiding and not showing up."

"I kept watching the simulator, watching him grow rapidly in the simulator's storyline..."

"Then, at the end, a message pops up: 'You have finally become the Lord of Time,' followed by another message: 'Original body, look who's behind you?'"

"Then that jerk patted me on the shoulder in real life, which startled me!"

"Indeed, the dead Twelve is the best Twelve."

"You can just die, and then I'll come back to rescue you when I become the ultimate being in the future. Isn't that the same thing?"

"We have such a good relationship, why should we distinguish between high and low status?"

"I won't retaliate against you maliciously. I'll just thank you for the benefits you've brought me and give you hundreds of timelines to do as you please."

"Even if you mess up and accidentally die, I can still bring you back up, with unlimited resurrections and unlimited resources. You can come find me anytime you want..."

"Everyone has a bright and promising future, and we can all be incredibly happy together. That's the best thing!"

[...]

[You have condensed your 2160th Dao Seal.]

[The grand finale has been achieved.]

[272nd Heaven → 2160th Heaven]

[Quality of Dao Seal: Since we won't be using it anymore, we won't calculate it.]

[The predicted duration is 272 to 2160 hours, and the maximum number of times a descent can occur is 41 to 99.]

"With a higher overall essence, various special abilities also leap forward after each breakthrough. If it were the previous 200,000 essence, the number of times the Heavenly Realm descended would probably not even reach 99 times... But the essence of twelve is billions of times higher."

[Number of times it has appeared is 99. Hmm, that's a rather outrageous number.]

[Furthermore, this 99 times isn't the maximum; it just happens to be the exact number. If you keep retaking it, you can keep pushing it up to over 100 times!]

[The maximum output of essential rewards and punishments is 215 times → 5300 times, with individual increases/decreases ranging from 27% to 49.31%; the true essence increases by 8 times annually → 80 times.]

[Overall essence: 104 quadrillion times → 109 quadrillion times.]

The overall essence has not increased much compared to 700,000 years ago. After all, that was accumulated over a full billion years. In addition, there is only one true essence in the double essence multiplication zone of the changes, so the improvement is not significant.

[You begin assembling the Dao Seal and synthesizing the Dao Fruit.]

The more Dao Seals there are, the longer it takes to assemble them, and naturally, the time required for the subsequent Body Fusion with the Dao Fruit and the Dao Transformation Tribulation will also be equally long.

The first step took you more than a year.

The second step took you six months.

The third step takes the shortest time, only three days, but it is the most fatal: the Tribulation of Dao Transformation!

If you can weather this storm, then break through directly!

If you can't overcome it, then melt into the world, leaving no trace of your existence!

[Given your personality, it would have been almost impossible for you to survive the tribulation of Dao transformation.]

But those billions of years have added even more trials and tribulations to you.

[He was promoted after failing only three times in the future.]

"It still failed!"

[If you hadn't been playing around with such fancy tricks for the past few hundred thousand years since you escaped the cosmic membrane, you probably would have succeeded on your first try.]

[You will successfully break through to the future and return to your true self.]

Fortunately, this step only takes three days. If it took more than seven days, you would enter a state of Taoist transformation, lose all senses, and be unable to use the Return to Truth technique.

[The advancement of a True Immortal, depending on the quality and quantity of their Dao Seal, will determine the power of their Dao Fruit after the advancement, and will also manifest different ranges of joyous celebration from heaven and earth, with the universe offering its congratulations!]

The original Dao principles contained within a Dao Fruit are equivalent to a point of Dao power; its advancement effect will radiate over tens of light-years.

Back in the Yuantian Realm, because the world was so small, only one world was showing signs of joy.

"Tens of light-years... In other words, even if a quasi-true immortal leaves the Yuantian Realm, he cannot easily break through; he must be at least tens of light-years away."

"Otherwise, the breakthrough phenomenon contains the power of the Dao Fruit, and even if it leaves the world wall, it will directly spread into the Yuan Tian Realm and trigger the sensing device set up by Bai He."

However, these special effects are simply gifts from the cosmic environment and do not include your Dao Fruit power.

"That's all."

[The power of the Dao Fruit is equivalent to 5 points, normally achieved through 72 Dao Seals, but its special effect extends over 100 light-years.]

[If one possesses an essence, every several times the essence increases the diameter by several times and the range by a cube factor!]

[If the power of the Dao Fruit is equivalent to 5 Dao Forces, and has ten times the essence, then the effect of becoming an immortal is a radius of 1000 light-years!]

As for your True Immortal Dao Fruit... your basic Dao power is!

"It seems like we're making more and more money. At first, it would take thousands of years to cultivate 36 systems, but in the end it's only equivalent to a little bit of Dao principles."

"Twelve spent seven hundred thousand years rebuilding nearly two thousand systems. The high level of the true essence also somewhat hindered the process, while the Dao Fruit is equivalent to one hundred thousand Dao Principles, meaning that it increases by one Dao Principle every few years."

"If we spend ten million years rebuilding tens of thousands of systems, wouldn't the Dao Fruit directly skyrocket to tens of millions? That's equivalent to adding several Dao Principles every year?"

Yun Shou thought to himself, "It's impossible for others to rebuild so many systems. The most basic path to immortality in the 36 systems can take the lives of many people, preventing them from fully cultivating them in their entire lives, let alone the 72 systems or even higher ones."

Lifespan and comprehension are not enough!

"Unfortunately, Twelve was in a hurry to save the universe and didn't have much time to spend on rebuilding, otherwise he could have really pushed himself to the next level."

[With 108,000 Dao principles combined with the current 107 quadrillion essences... that strange phenomenon has spread from the center of the universe all the way to a distance of 500 quadrillion light-years!]

That is, a diameter of ten quadrillion light-years!

If your essence were multiplied by ten, it could fill the entire universe!

"There's still a slight sense of regret."

You gently shook your head. You claim to be the spirit of the universe, yet the phenomena of your ascension to immortality haven't permeated the entire universe; they only occupy about one-thousandth of its volume. This makes you somewhat ashamed.

"The greater the reputation, the greater the responsibility; it's incredibly difficult."

[Your spiritual power probes outward and you see a vast array of worshippers, all knowing that you, as a father, will achieve a breakthrough today.]

The twelve apostles and a million sons and daughters stood guard outside, forming a tight, unbroken circle.

They only breathed a sigh of relief after you successfully broke through.

It's not that I'm afraid you'll die by Taoist magic, but rather to prevent a rebellious son from plotting against you and trying to take something from you.

[Eight million four hundred thousand years after the destruction of the universe, you broke through to the position of the Supreme Ruler of the Spring and Autumn Period, standing among all immortals.]
