Time flies like water; thirty thousand years is too long, but when one actually lives through that period of time, it feels too short.

You have been to a world where time and space are one, and you have also been to an eternal moment.

[Often, the Lord of the Universe returns to the original point to restart the universe, becoming the unifier of all worlds.]

[There is also a human body that manifests as the consciousness of all living beings in the heavens, with all living things in the universe being his essence.]

The Boundless Sea of ​​the past was never short of time, space, and cause and effect.

You also witnessed a grand spectacle during your travels.

That was truly vast; anyone standing before it would feel insignificant.

It was a cluster of cosmic bubbles, layer upon layer, countless universes stacked and crowded together, without a single gap between them.

The number of universes that make up this cluster of bubbles is... infinite!

[The diameter of the boundless void sea expands countless times every second compared to the previous second, reaching an ultimate infinity of terrifying conceptual height. Yet, within this infinitely expanding sea of ​​space, the cluster of bubbles occupied a length of three seconds.]

[The boundless void that stretched for three consecutive seconds... was all part of this bubble cluster universe!]

They squeezed and piled on top of each other, forming an extremely absurd multiverse environment!

[You believe that something went wrong during the expansion of the Boundless Void Ocean, such as a code error or a conflict in the number of universes generated, causing a large number of universes to be generated together, thus forming this spectacular phenomenon.]

What's regrettable is that although these bubble-like clusters of universes are all piled together, most of them still retain cosmic membranes. Different universes are separated by intervals, their Dao parameters conflict, and they exist independently.

Otherwise, if they were truly integrated, then with an infinite number of them added together, they would inevitably possess all 30 billion Dao principles, and you could completely replicate the remaining Dao principles in this one place.

However, now they have to traverse through various hydatidiform universes, which undoubtedly increases the time required.

[Two billion, two billion, two billion...]

There were no hardships or dire situations, no life-threatening dangers.

[When you escape from He Yuan in this simulation and return to the time before the sealing of the old Dao principles, everything is already destined.]

No one can stop you from moving forward.

No living being is worthy to prevent you from ascending to the throne of the Dao Lord.

It's all just a matter of time.

Ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years.

Another ten thousand years have passed. You possess 29.8 billion Dao principles, and are only a small step away from achieving your goal.

As you neared success, you occasionally visited the Origin Universe and discovered a few interesting points.

He Yuan didn't have the time to meet all the fully-fledged universe lords across all timelines, so he mostly relied on some kind of assessment to distribute the eight powers.

The assessment of your old privileges was quite enjoyable.

"Going back to the past."

Having acquired 3 billion ancient Dao principles, one becomes eligible to return to the years before their birth, but how far back exactly... that remains a question!

Living beings have limited strength and cannot swim against the current indefinitely.

[This is a restriction set by He Yuan. He can't possibly let everyone casually return to the endless past and make a mess of the entire Ancient Boundless Sea.]

The further back in time one jumps, the greater the spatial and temporal resistance one encounters.

To travel back to the distant past, one needs to reach a higher level. A True Immortal of 3 billion Resonance Levels (assuming all Dao principles are from the past) can only travel back to one year before their birth, while a True Immortal of nearly 30 billion Resonance Levels can travel back to trillions of years ago.

[However, if a fully formed Cosmic Body relies solely on the laws of nature to force its way back, it can travel back 20 time spans.]

[Further on... it will require the use of "Taoist arts".]

[It requires the development of more perfect and superior Daoist techniques, the creation of one's own Universe Lord-level auxiliary treasure, and the transformation into a life form more capable of withstanding the passage of time.]

[By using skill to supplement power, when the fully-formed Cosmic Lord returns to the 21 time spans before his birth, he will be qualified to go to the Pinnacle of Time to claim his Ancient Authority, allowing his Ancient Dao Laws to gain a tenfold multiplication.]

[By using this authority to research and develop stronger Taoist techniques and more perfect forms, one can return to a more distant past and possess even greater authority... This is the method for acquiring and upgrading ancient authority.]

However, this isn't a case of stepping on one's own foot. Assuming that gaining authority increases power tenfold, then reaching the next level of authority acquisition becomes 20 times more difficult, requiring the continuous development of more powerful techniques and more precise coordination.

It is said... it is said that when this person arrived at the end of the old world, at the very beginning of the origin universe, when "time" had just been born and began to flow, the authority he obtained was comparable to that of a normal Ancient Dao Lord.

The other assessments are mostly similar. The "Myriad Transformations" authority is obtained by passing through layers of assessments that require the individual to adapt to different situations and adopt different postures. The "Destiny" authority, on the other hand, requires the individual to unravel the threads of fate.

[But all of this is relatively distant for you... This is the advancement path for other fully-fledged universe lords, but you don't need these so-called privileges!]

[This authority is merely a fragment of power; the gap between it and true authority is even greater than that between a Resonance True Immortal and a fully realized Universe Lord!]

[You only need the foundation; this foundation of 30 billion Dao Principles is enough to lay the groundwork for your Dao Lord status.]
