At this moment, Yuan Zhexian had already figured out the origin of this mysterious primordial mark and the enormous threat it posed.

Only now did he realize that this primordial mark was the core of the Heavenly Dao, the root and essence of its power.

Once someone integrates it into themselves, it is equivalent to signing an equivalent contract with the Heavenly Dao that seems fair but actually hides traps.

On the surface, it appears that the Heavenly Dao will continuously provide the merger with unparalleled power of the Heavenly Dao.

However, at the same time, the original essence of the fusion user will be gradually devoured by the Heavenly Dao without their knowledge, until it is completely dissipated.

Just then, Yuan Zhexian murmured to himself again: "So that's how it is! This is why the current emperor was able to suppress all the other powerful beings in this realm by using the power of the origin within this Heavenly Dao Mark."

His eyes gleamed with contemplation, as if trying to see through the layers of fog to uncover the hidden truth.

"Moreover, the Great Emperor was able to rely on this power of origin to make his combat strength enough to compete with the legendary Supreme Emperor."

"Even those who are only at the first level of the Great Emperor realm are the same!"

"However……"

At this point, Yuan Zhexian frowned slightly, revealing a hint of resentment.

"Everything comes at a price. When the Great Emperors of this era merge with the mark of the Heavenly Dao, their own talents, aptitudes, physiques, and fortunes, as well as their deeply hidden primordial essences, will gradually be devoured by the Heavenly Dao."

"The emperors of this era are not simply people with great fortune; they bear the heavy responsibility of protecting a world, and thus are protected and blessed by the power of all living beings."

"Because of the protection of all living beings, the Heavenly Dao could not completely devour the Emperor's original essence at once, but could only gradually erode it."

Having figured out these key points, and combining them with various events that had occurred in previous eras, Yuan Zhexian finally sorted out the ins and outs of the matter and summarized the general situation.

In the beginning of time, when heaven and earth were first created, the Way of Heaven was like a just and selfless guardian, silently controlling the laws governing the operation of all things in the world.

It is devoid of any emotion; its sole purpose is to protect all living beings and to maintain the operation of the world by upholding the supreme and absolutely fair and just laws.

However, a devastating war that followed completely changed everything.

For the sake of humanity's right to survival, the Ancestor of Humanity waged an earth-shattering war against the myriad races of ferocious beasts, demons, and numerous immortals among the spirit race.

The scale and destructive power of this war were unimaginable, so much so that the entire world was shattered by the destruction of terrifying energy, eventually splitting into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths we see today.

After that catastrophe, the world was devastated, and countless lives were lost, some even wiped out.

Such a tremendous change severely damaged the Heavenly Dao, forcing it to fall into slumber and begin a long process of reorganization.

This process lasted an extremely long time, until the mythological era was nearing its end, when the Heavenly Dao was finally reorganized and regained its powerful strength.

In the years before the Heavenly Dao was reorganized.

At that time, the world not only had those emperors who had merged with the mark of the Heavenly Dao, but also other peerless powerhouses who had successfully become emperors through their own strength.

This situation of numerous heroes rising up and emperors vying for power continued until the end of the mythological era and the beginning of the ancient immortal era.

After the Heavenly Dao was reorganized, the rules of the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths underwent a major change—multiple Dao achievers were no longer allowed to exist at the same time, but were instead limited to only one unique Dao achiever reaching the peak.

Therefore, from that time onwards, the phenomenon of a single emperor ruling the world began.

The remaining emperors were subjected to powerful suppression from the Heavenly Dao. They were either forced to fall into a long slumber within the Divine Source or had to go to the mysterious and unpredictable Boundary Sea to shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

The main reason is that after the Heavenly Dao underwent a reorganization, it unexpectedly developed self-awareness.

This is precisely what triggered a series of subsequent events.

The Heavenly Way has always been impartial and selfless, and it is impossible for something like a primordial mark to appear.

Therefore, at this moment, Yuan Zhexian keenly sensed that the Heavenly Dao seemed to be secretly plotting some major event unknown to others.

This is precisely why the Eighth and Ninth Patriarchs asserted that there were problems with the Way of Heaven.

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Zhexian's entire body suddenly erupted with surging eternal power, its momentum sweeping over like a tidal wave.

At the same time, a dazzling seven-colored light began to emanate from around his body.

A moment later, Yuan Zhexian slowly raised his palm.

In an instant, a seven-colored energy ball that was spinning rapidly appeared in the center of his palm!

As the seven-colored energy ball continued to rotate at high speed, Yuan Zhexian's thoughts stirred slightly.

In the blink of an eye, a deep, dark blue light slowly began to emanate from the inside of the rapidly spinning seven-colored energy ball.

Upon seeing this scene, Yuan Zhexian dared not be negligent in the slightest and hurriedly poured all the eternal power and world power he possessed into the energy ball without reservation.

Immediately afterwards, the colorful energy ball began to slowly release endless and terrifying power!

This power is so immense that it seems capable of easily destroying everything in the world if it so desires.
