Respecting sages is the natural order of the universe, as natural as an apple falling to the ground.

At the scene, as the large cracks appeared more and more frequently, the people seeing them off gradually lost their fear—of course, mainly because they hadn't planned to go in in the first place.

They discussed it animatedly, their hearts pounding with excitement, and they began to look forward to the battle for the Holy City once again.

"The final stage is finally over, with no more restrictions; it's all about combat strength!"

"How much stronger are the top ten from the ten Starry Sky Roads compared to ordinary Celestial Ranks?!"

"Will they crush them? Or are they not actually that good at fighting, but just better in other aspects?"

"I've heard that, and it's true. Some players have unparalleled talent in combat, and defeating stronger opponents is just commonplace for them. In this battle for the Holy City, these players will definitely stand out!"

Li Changzhou and his three companions were nearby, but they were hidden in the void.

“I have traveled to some places over the years,” Li Changzhou said. “Based on the information I have gathered, if the Holy City had not been opened, beings below the level of a sage would never have been able to reach the center of the universe.”

"Hmm?" the three asked curiously.

They are strong, but their knowledge and experience are really lacking, which is a weakness of most players.

Li Changzhou explained: "The universe is constantly expanding. The size of the next second is nine million times that of the previous second, and this change has never stopped."

"In many civilizations, there is a saying that the speed of the universe's expansion is the limit of the cultivation speed of all living beings. No matter what race or realm, the speed of becoming stronger will not exceed this limit."

“That’s enough,” Li Qianxia said. “This isn’t adding nine million, it’s multiplying by nine million. In two seconds, it will be 81 trillion times, and then multiply by… my goodness.”

She was shocked by her own words.

Li Changzhou smiled and said, "Many sages have studied 'cultivation speed' in an attempt to rely on this fulcrum to enter the realm of 'creation'."

"Can a sage achieve such a cultivation speed?" Yaochi couldn't help but ask.

If so, how powerful would a saint who has lived for countless years upstream in time be?

Unimaginable.

"Based on what I've heard and researched, even a saint cannot break this speed, except for one saint."

"Who?" Yang Qinglan asked.

“【Saint-Demon】.” Li Changzhou said, “The sacred law ‘The higher the Tao, the higher the demon,’ defines the universe as ‘Tao.’ Even with the saint’s abilities, it only lasted for one day, and the 【Saint-Demon】died as a result.”

The three remained silent.

For the power of the universe, for the power of the [Saint-Demon].

One second a day, the strength of a saint, multiplied by nine million, what realm is that?

"The Saint-Prophet falls into eternal slumber in pursuit of omniscience; the Saint-God-Taoist Ancestor transforms into the Tao, losing his body and emotions; the Saint-Demon consumes himself to death—is creation really that alluring? So much like moths drawn to a flame." Li Qianxia wondered.

They are already saints, living freely in the world, with plenty of time. Why would they do things that they know are almost impossible?

The reason is actually quite simple.

Li Changzhou said, "Those who are not destined for greatness will either be stuck upstream in time or submit to the game of values. Sages, because they understand the past and the future, have no choice."

He thought of the "Saint-Black Hand".

Through countless lifetimes, they continuously strive to become saints, only to discard everything else and retain their original essence for reincarnation in order to find a glimmer of hope.

How great was the price? So great that Li Changzhou didn't even believe that the "Saint-Black Hand" was himself.

It's completely unrecognizable.

His way, His life, His everything, have been burned!

'I will make all of yours bloom; we have no reason to lose,' Li Changzhou murmured to himself.

Black mist automatically appeared behind him, swirling around him like a burning battle spirit, ready to fight alongside him into the holy city and reclaim his position as a saint.

"Let's go," Li Changzhou said.

Four people appeared.

"The Heavenly Emperor! The Heavenly Emperor has appeared!"

"His Majesty is invincible!"

"The invincible King of Black Mist, the Lord of No Taboos, the Unbeatable Heavenly Emperor!"

"Your Majesty, become the 'Victor'!"

Li Changzhou raised his hand and pointed.

Boom!!

The void tore open, and a great rift appeared in the universe.

Previously, anyone, including those at the Heavenly Realm like the Lesser Martial Saint, faced the Great Rift as if stepping into a hellish abyss where death was a near certainty.

Li Changzhou is different.

He seemed to be riding a chariot, ready to go to war, his powerful aura standing shoulder to shoulder with the great rift!

"I knew it! When it comes to fighting, who can surpass the King of Black Mist!"

"Of course, Your Majesty is invincible!"

Whether adults or children, cultivators or ordinary people, everyone on the six planets of Earth has full confidence in Li Changzhou.

Even second- and third-tier players who were suppressed by others put aside their resentment at this moment.

They marveled, they boasted: "This is the Supreme Immortal, this is the Tribulation of Man! The entire universe will know how terrifying His Majesty is!"

The thirty-six other worlds conquered by Earth knew of the existence of the King of Black Mist, but had never seen this supreme being. It was only the King of Black Mist's subordinates who conquered them.

Their gazes were complex; they hoped he would fail, for he was the greatest aggressor.

They also wanted him to be powerful, because he was now their ruler.

The four entered the great crevice.

"Father! Mother! Aunt!" Yang Tianlu rushed out of the spaceship in Academy City. The cosmic rays not only did not harm him, but nourished him instead.

Li Changzhou turned around.

The child who was once a child is now beginning to resemble a teenager.

His face was filled with confusion, and tears welled in his eyes.

Despite his extraordinary talent, he was, after all, just a child.
