The Realm of Annihilation—the power of this realm cannot be ignored. A mere instant of power is enough to destroy entire spacetime and planes, reducing everything to nothingness. In the Immortal Realm, this is a legendary existence, representing supreme power and wisdom, revered as a Saintly Venerable.

Qin Ze sat inside the Zixiao Palace, his body sinking into a profound tranquility. With his eyes closed, he felt as if he were in a world entirely his own, a mysterious and profound world.

In this unique world, Qin Ze's divine sense gradually expanded. He could feel an incomparably vast power, a power from all things, the rhythm of the universe, and the river of time. His mind merged with the universe, as if connected to all things, enabling him to perceive the origin and evolution of everything.

He witnessed the birth of the universe, countless stars emerging from nothingness, constantly moving and tracing their own paths throughout the vast expanse of space. He felt the pulse of life, from tiny microorganisms to colossal mythical beasts, life constantly evolving, with the fittest surviving and evolution never ceasing.

Qin Ze's consciousness delved into a deeper level. He saw the flow of time, with the past, present, and future intertwining before his eyes to form a boundless panorama. He witnessed the rise and fall of the world, the prosperity and decline of human civilization, and countless beings leaving their footprints in the long river of time.

His mind soared in this mysterious world, like a bird flitting among the stars. He began to understand the mysteries of the universe and comprehend the meaning of life. This world was no longer bound by time and space; everything was under his control.

Qin Ze slowly opened his eyes, and in that instant, a powerful energy surged forth, as if the power of heaven and earth had converged upon him. This power was incomparably formidable, containing the mysterious laws of the immortal realm and boundless energy, sweeping over him like a storm.

Shen Gongbao and Chu Muran were swept up by this force, as if violently pushed by an invisible giant wave, and were suddenly blown away, flying hundreds of meters away, streaking across the night sky like shooting stars. Their bodies rolled and tumbled, unable to control their posture, and finally crashed into the main hall of Zixiao Palace with a deafening impact.

The walls of the main hall of Zixiao Palace trembled as if they were about to collapse. Shen Gongbao and Chu Muran lay on the ground, their faces filled with terror. The power emanating from Qin Ze was simply unbelievable.

Just as Shen Gongbao and Chu Muran were about to struggle to their feet, Qin Ze beckoned slightly. A flash of light appeared, and the two were instantly drawn back, as if guided by a divine force. They swiftly floated back to Qin Ze's side and landed steadily on the ground.

Shen Gongbao and Chu Muran trembled slightly; what they had just witnessed was far too shocking for them. Qin Ze's power had reached an unimaginable level; they had never seen such terrifying force. Qin Ze was no longer the person they knew.

Ze stared at Shen Gongbao, his eyes revealing a deep resolve: "Let's go, we should leave here!" His voice was calm, but the determination within it was undeniable.

Upon hearing Qin Ze's words, Shen Gongbao felt as if she had received an inescapable command. She harbored no thought of resistance, simply nodding silently in obedience.

With a flick of Qin Ze's sleeve, space was torn open, and a passage shimmering with mysterious light appeared before them. Shen Gongbao, Qin Ze, and Chu Muran stepped into it together. In an instant, their vision blurred, and the surrounding scenery rapidly changed.

When they stabilized again, they found themselves back on Mount Kunlun in the human world.

Shen Gongbao's gaze fell upon Qin Ze, his expression complex and thoughtful. She stared at him silently, unsure what to say, and finally couldn't help but ask, "What are your plans for the future?"

Qin Ze smiled slightly, his eyes revealing a profound composure, as if he had seen through everything. He slowly replied, "I have no particular plans. Now, I stand at the pinnacle of the Immortal Realm. No one in heaven or on earth can threaten me anymore."

Although these words were spoken calmly, the confidence and arrogance they contained were chilling.

Shen Gongbao's expression was somewhat astonished; she fell into deep thought. Qin Ze's words were true. The Annihilation Realm was the pinnacle of cultivation, the domain of saints and venerables. This realm represented immortality and indestructibility, an existence that could not be threatened by mortals. Qin Ze had already reached the invincible peak.

She paused for a moment, then sighed and said softly, "Now that you've obtained the Jade Disc of Creation, can you do me a favor?" Her voice was filled with helplessness and expectation.

In the tranquil place atop Kunlun Mountain, Qin Ze spoke slowly, his voice filled with deep thought and composure: "Do you want to break free from the restrictions of the Investiture of the Gods?" This question was direct and merciless, placed before Shen Gongbao.

Shen Gongbao knew she could no longer deceive Qin Ze, so she could only nod honestly, her eyes revealing a hint of expectation and anxiety. She longed to break free from the shackles of the Investiture of the Gods and regain her freedom, but she also fully understood the risks involved.

Qin Ze continued softly, "It's simple, but I must advise you that lifting the restrictions of the Investiture of the Gods might not necessarily be a good thing." His words were full of meaning, seemingly warning Shen Gongbao to consider it carefully.

Shen Gongbao was filled with doubt. She looked around, not understanding the meaning behind Qin Ze's words. Qin Ze smiled mysteriously, his words carrying a wisdom that transcended time and space: "There will be a great change in the world. Being listed on the Investiture of the Gods might just be a good thing!"
