[The Star Devourer possesses numerous life-regeneration Dao principles, meaning it consumes relatively less Dao source and recovers faster when healing injuries. This resulted in you needing to hold it for over ten minutes before exhausting its Dao source and completely extinguishing its life.]

"They're still quite difficult to kill."

After dealing with the giant insect that was breathing on you, and waiting for about half an hour, you sensed a message from the backup plan left inside your body. After waiting for a few dozen seconds, all 36,000 True Immortal Guardians gathered around you.

[They all failed. Your previous guess has been confirmed. The condition can only be met by replicating enough Dao principles of the same parameters; otherwise, even if one reaches the True Rank and possesses sufficient essence, it won't work.]

Once everyone has arrived, you will fly outwards together, shattering multiple layers of void, to reach the outer edge of the Origin Land, the very place where the Boundless Sea of ​​Void was first created.

[What a mess!]

This is your first impression of the gathering place.

The chaos is beyond imagination!

Countless races at the seventh realm walked along the star-studded streets, with universes floating high in the sky.

[They converse with the spirit of immortals, and their presence is unmatched by ordinary mortals.]

[The area is so vast that even after foreseeing the future dozens of times and traveling through this region for a century, you've only just begun to understand the basics.]

[There exist "powerful clans" associated with Daoist masters.]

[The "Immortal Clan" possessing the qualities of a fully-fledged Cosmic Lord.]

[On this precious, remote edge of the origin, there exists a cosmic "Clan."]

Finally, there are the True Immortals who have become ordinary people, and some absolute ants who haven't even reached the seventh realm.

This is a world where True Immortals are completely worthless, an environment where True Immortals really need to mine or even work as dogs for others!

The difference between each level is enormous; the least valuable are mortals and true immortals.

Even among those who attain the initial Dao Fruit, those with over ten thousand Dao Principles who are considered exceptionally powerful... are still worthless!

All True Immortals are insignificant compared to the "Cosmic Race," which is a higher level!

These universes possessed by the Celestial Races are all top-tier universes containing over 26.999 billion Dao Laws, meaning they can provide countless entry points to the Origin Land—a passport connecting to an infinite future!

Naturally, entering these universes, even for just a hundred million years, comes at a tremendous cost, especially as the time approaches 26.999 billion years, where the cost increases even further.

This cost includes hard labor, participation in wars between two intergalactic races, and the obligation to curry favor with higher-level powers.

[Above the Celestial Race is the Immortal Clan, which represents the existence of at least one fully realized Celestial Lord. This Lord can freely plunder universes held by other Celestial Races, and even create universes using their own perfected Dao principles!]

Of course, the laws of all universes outside the Origin Land have parameter deviations; the laws of the universes created by a fully realized Universe Lord whose entire body is composed of universal laws also have new parameters and are not universally applicable.

[The fully-formed Universe Lord has already reached the pinnacle. Above them, there are only the powerful clans of the Dao Lords. They gained the appreciation and favor of certain Dao Lords in the Origin Land and were granted some authority, thus transcending the ordinary.]

Mortals, immortals, cosmic races, immortal clans, powerful aristocratic families.

The forces or individuals outside the Origin Land can be roughly divided into the above five tiers.

Each level possesses extreme suppression over the level below it, a cross-dimensional attack.

Unfortunately, at least in terms of rank, you're in the lowest tier.

In this place, only true immortals who have no desire for the future can barely be considered human. True immortals who are even slightly ambitious will be reduced to beasts of burden or even worse, if they lack family support.

As for mortals, they are truly mere objects, capable of living for a maximum of a few million years, which is far too short compared to the infinite lifespan of those in the Seventh Realm.

[...]

[In the 3783rd future, you have explored this region for tens of thousands of years, without any repetition.]

For tens of thousands of years, you have been searching for news of the primordial universe, but this map is simply too vast.

[Over ten thousand years, you searched millions of cosmic races across various regions, weakened hundreds of fully-formed cosmic lords and conducted soul searches, and even defeated three Dao Lords, all to no avail.]

[You see a message rapidly flashing across the celestial dome overhead; it's a recruitment drive by various races within the "Cryptians."]

[You seem quite familiar with the Lie clan; you've beaten up their ancestor before.]

[When you read his memories, you discover he's a disgrace. To save face, you keep the secret of how the clan's ancestor enjoyed being a nun and was subjected to various punishments to him to yourself, keeping it as your own personal joke and not spreading it.]

"How selfish you are."

The message read: "There's a passerby next to you looking up at the sky, muttering to themselves."

[“The Lie Clan will soon wage war against the Ge Clan after forty cycles of birth and death. This is the only chance to accumulate military merit. As long as you participate in the war, you can gain at least one hundred cycles of enlightenment time, or exchange it for ten thousand points of Dao Principle limit!”]

This short sentence reveals a wealth of information.

The cycle of birth, death, and reincarnation is a unit of time, referring to the maximum lifespan of a universe under normal circumstances, one trillion years.

[War is about to break out, and the various races have begun recruiting soldiers. Forty trillion years in advance, they have summoned the scattered immortals who are currently outside the races, allowing them to enter the races' universes and giving them ample time to comprehend the Dao principles so that they can play a role in the upcoming war.]

[In the 40 trillion years before the war began, new recruits summoned from that time could comprehend the Dao principles for free. For them in ordinary times, this was an opportunity they could only dream of, a kind of perk of joining the army.]

[It's important to point out here that the universe of the various races does not grant access to comprehend all Dao principles; only 8.5 billion Dao principles can be comprehended and replicated for free.]

[Of course, this refers to the free rerun, but if you want to stay in the universe indefinitely, aside from the preparatory period benefits for joining the military, you'll need to spend additional "contribution points."]

[Most of the cosmic races have only opened up access to comprehend 6-10 billion Dao principles in the universe. As long as you have sufficient time to comprehend them, you can completely replicate these Dao principles.]

[And what remains are their main means of exploitation and oppression in a slow and steady manner: not only do they require money to buy time for comprehension, but they also need to pay for the maximum number of copies they can replicate!]

The Celestial Race will limit the number of replicas an outsider can make, forcing them to endure countless hardships and toil until they finally comprehend the 26.999 billion Dao principles after an immeasurable number of years.
