[You have completely stunned Yuan Daozu.]

[He was already extremely strong among the Cosmic Lords, but even at his strongest, he was still just a fragmented Cosmic Lord with chaotic Dao parameters, practically defenseless against a fully-fledged Cosmic Lord!]

[Admittedly, Qingyuan Heaven already possesses 26.976 billion Dao Laws. A fully-fledged Universe Lord in Qingyuan Heaven is only about 70% stronger than him. This is not a chasm-like gap. If the three Universe Lords of Qingyuan Heaven were to fight together, judging solely from the numerical comparison, they might not be without a fighting chance!]

However, all their power relies on the Qingyuan Heaven universe.

If the fully-formed Universe Lord doesn't use any underhanded tactics and fights the three of them purely using his own Dao Source Energy in Qingyuan Heaven, then even if the fully-formed Universe Lord ultimately wins, it won't be an easy victory.

But he's a fully-fledged Universe Lord!

They can simply transfer control of the entire Qingyuan Heaven universe!

In a battle, the three universe masters—"Yuan," "Mie," and "Zhen"—who are perfectly adapted to the unique parameters and laws of the Qingyuan Heaven, would be unable to drive their own universes. Only the fully realized universe master could freely extract the material energy of this universe and transform it into Dao source to replenish themselves.

[To put it more directly, the opponent could drain this universe without limit, causing it to self-destruct. The three universe lords were immediately weakened to their limit after arriving at the boundless void sea.]

[Or, by spending some time forcibly altering the parameters of the entire universe, even without destroying this universe, one could still cause the three Golden Core Universe Lords to fall back to their initial Dao Fruit power!]

Before a fully-fledged Cosmic Lord, these incomplete beings would be utterly defenseless, completely powerless to retaliate!

"Rushing up and self-destructing is useless. If it were to self-destruct in space, even if it injured a fully-formed universe master, he could still draw on the universe's energy to recover."

"Once the universe's energy is depleted, the universe will be destroyed, and the incomplete universe lord will be directly downgraded to a true immortal, making it even more impossible for him to harm the other party."

Yun Shou did some mental calculations.

"This is an unsolvable battle! A Universe Lord who fully comprehends the Dao Laws, a truly complete Eighth Realm cultivator, is practically a dimension above the other incomplete versions!"

[You are even above the fully-fledged Universe Lord; you are a disciple of the Dao Lord, and you are one of the "Nine Below" who wield secondary authority!]

[Yuan Daozu originally intended to speak with you in a friendly manner, hoping you could bring him some surprises, but after the truth was revealed, he was only horrified!]

[He instantly transformed from a affable local tyrant, inquiring about the unexpected arrival of the young man in his territory, into a humble village chief before the true Crown Prince!]

But little did he know that you were inwardly shaking your head and sighing.

This act of claiming to be a disciple of the Daoist Master might seem like grandstanding to others, but to you it's merely a small-scale display.

You've demoted yourself to a lower generation out of nowhere!

[But there's nothing we can do about it. You're still too weak right now, not even an immortal yet. You either have to indiscriminately kill innocent people, wiping out every cosmic lord you see, or you can only use this method to explain the unusual things that happen to you.]

[It's quite a coincidence that your essence of reward and punishment shares some similarities with the abilities of the Lord of Myriad Transformations.]

The Sacred Body was something created by the Lord of Myriad Transformations.

[After the other two Golden Core Dao Ancestors, "Extinction" and "True," also arrived at the scene, you spoke.]

"I came for Master's new project. There are many Dao Lords like me who travel through the boundless void, responsible for spreading the 'essence' in various universes."

[It's common knowledge that the Dao Master of Myriad Transformations enjoys conducting experiments.]

[In the future, you added points to the three Dao Ancestors and chose to return to their true nature, causing their essence to double.]

After a brief conversation, you generously stated: "The power is in my own hands. The Lord of Myriad Transformations has not imposed any restrictions. I can add essence to whomever I want."

Since these three cosmic lords before you are the masters of this universe, you shall pay a fixed rent every ten years.

Upon hearing these words, even "Destruction," the one who governs the cataclysmic destruction of the universe and whose coldness is as absolute as the laws of nature, couldn't help but smile at you.

The three Dao Ancestors communicated with you in the skies above the Mi Luo Dao Domain for about half a day, while the earth entered a state of time stop, with not a single second passing.

[After everything was over, Yuan Daozu asked if you wanted to become famous throughout Mi Luo and even the thirty trillion Dao Domains, or choose to keep a low profile and have them erase the memories of everyone else, allowing you to enjoy a vacation-like life.]

"Let's keep it a little low-key; having three Dao Ancestors bestow blessings together is too exaggerated."

You shook your head and said, "Just one Dao Ancestor will do."

The three of them: "Hesitant."

[Therefore, Mie Zhen and the other two disappeared, and the Guichen Sect members on the ground, as well as the entire Mi Luo Dao Domain, recovered from the time-lapse epidemic.]

You and the Yuan Dao Master stand on opposite sides, with a cloud of attendants behind him and a radiant glow behind you.

The crowd below looked up, watching as an unknown being high above bestowed blessings upon you.

They speculated that the mysterious figure was the domain lord of this Dao Domain.

[In reality, the Lord of the Miro Domain was the attendant standing behind the Yuan Dao Ancestor, the one on the very edge.]

[You two moved with ethereal grace, one mortal and one immortal, seemingly separated by a galaxy, as if you stretched out your arms to each other from afar, your index fingers touching.]

[I cosplayed as God and Adam.]

[Originally, the bestowal of blessings, whether at the Dao Ancestor or Domain Lord level, was a top-down process, with Foundation Establishment and even Golden Core cultivators looking down from high above at the sacrificial officiants, bestowing blessings from a superior position.]

However, after learning your true identity, Yuan Daozu dared not place you in a subordinate position and ultimately chose this method.

[You chose the content of the blessing yourself; it didn't really matter whether you wanted it or not, but you still picked one from the list Yuan provided.]

[The Chosen One (Peach Blossom Special Edition)]

"It's a humanoid self-propelled robot, right?"

As you slowly returned to the Guichen Sect, you grinned at the approaching crowd and opened your arms.

He lunged at Jiang Rou, recognizing her grenade.

She hugged your head, her feelings a mix of emotions.

[In the past few years, Jiang Rou was the most renowned prodigy in the Guichen Sect.]

The aura surrounding her far surpassed the level of the Guichen Sect.

[At only 25 years old, at the third level of Qi Refining, plus the dozens of times your essence you slowly increased, and the Sacred Body whose evolution under high essence is extremely terrifying, you might even be able to fight against a fourth-level Qi Refining cultivator!]

She has surpassed the assessment of "potentially reaching the mid-stage of Qi Refining," and is now "potentially reaching the Great Perfection of Qi Refining!"

"Little Shou, you've surpassed me!" She still looks like she's in her late teens, gently tapping your head. There's no envy, jealousy, or resentment, only a hint of helplessness and doting affection.

You: "Huh? When did I exceed that limit?"

From this day forward, countless sects and forces from the Miro Dao Domain flocked to the territory belonging to the Guichen Sect, intending to force your entire sect to relocate.
