Cao Ya looked over and a smile appeared on his face.
Rest!
The void cracked open, and a group of figures flickered into existence.
Those were the silhouettes of five people.
First, there is a tall, virtual human figure in the model lake, dressed in simple gray and white cloth, with messy hair, a resolute square face, and a long beard that extends to his sideburns. At first glance, he looks like a wild man.
However, everyone present showed great respect for this "wild man".
Because he was Emperor Yu!
He was the first person to create the Void Realm and the Supreme Power Realm!
Before Emperor Yu, the most powerful beings on the Nine Provinces Continent were those who had entered the Void Realm.
Only after Emperor Yu did the next two realms emerge, enabling one to shatter the void and escape this world.
Of course, due to the influence of the universe after the ascension, the world of "Nine Cauldrons Chronicles" has been upgraded, the spiritual energy has become more abundant, and the stability of the space has been improved. It is now impossible to break through the void again and reach the realm of the strongest.
There are gains and losses, and the lifespan of all living beings is also multiplied.
Honestly, this is a great thing!
Besides Emperor Yu, the other four are the carefree poet and sword immortal "Li Bai", the majestic and profound "Qinling Heavenly Emperor", the fierce and unparalleled thunder god "Duanmu Yu", and the compassionate monk "Buddha Shakyamuni".
These five individuals are ascensionists from both the Nine Provinces Continent and the Duanmu Continent.
The strongest being of the previous generation!
The crowd bowed respectfully to Emperor Yu and the other four.
"Ugh~~"
"Chirp~~"
Besides a group of human martial artists, there were also quite a few divine beasts at or above the Void Realm present.
Such as the demonic dragon "Zi Xi", the mother of the phoenix, the bear lord, the golden dragon turtle, the black horse, the immortal phoenix Xiao Qing, and the six-legged Dao Chi.
Among them, some powerful mythical beasts followed the strongest beings.
For example, the Phoenix Mother once followed the Poet Sword Immortal, the Black Steed was once the mount of the Thunder Blade God, and the Golden Dragon Turtle and the Bear Venerable also had excellent relationships with Emperor Yu.
Seeing their old friends return filled them with great joy.
After catching up, the group gazed into another universe, as if they had seen through the fog of the world and could glimpse three special interfaces of the universe after ascension.
Heaven, bathed in holy light and filled with hymns sung day and night, is a place where countless angels dance and leap.
The demonic realm, thick with demonic energy and shrouded in wickedness, is filled with countless demons preparing for war, their banners waving in the wind.
And then there's the last one, the Primordial One, which is the weakest. Judging from its aura, it's clearly much weaker.
They can't compare to Heaven and the Demon Realm!
"The ancient times, the land where humanity ascended to immortality." The phantom of Emperor Yu gazed into the distance and solemnly said, "Dealing with those two races will be no easy task!"
With his strength, he was able to sense the existence of the gods of light and darkness.
Those twenty-six streams of energy were truly frightening.
"A being at the Middle Realm level," Emperor Qinling murmured, his gaze reserved.
“Not enough time!” Thunder Blade God frowned and said, “If we had another ten thousand years, we could all advance to the first level of the Middle Realm. At that time, we could fight against those so-called Light and Dark Gods.”
"In the next few days, our world will fall into that universe." The Poet Sword Immortal, carrying a wine gourd, was drunk, but his eyes were very clear.
"Amitabha Buddha," the Buddha Shakyamuni chanted, calmly saying, "When soldiers come, we will block them; when water comes, we will dam it. No matter how strong the enemy is, what do we have to fear? At worst, we will die."
Upon hearing this, all the creatures present nodded solemnly.
"Don't be too discouraged. There were many extremely powerful beings among the ancient human race!" Cao Ya laughed.
Emperor Yu, the Heavenly Emperor of Qinling, and others turned their heads to the side.
Their eyes flickered slightly.
Cao Ya knew far more about the universe after ascension than they did.
For thousands of years, the five figures—Yu the Great, the Heavenly Emperor of Qinling, the Poet Sword Immortal, the Thunder Blade God, and the Buddha Shakyamuni—have been traveling the Earth and the universe, comprehending the laws of heaven and earth, and perfecting the world.
Teng Qingshan, Qin Shiqi, Pei San, and others broke through to the level of the strongest, but due to the improvement of their world status, they could not ascend and had to continue to stay in the Nine Provinces Continent.
Later, the world of "Nine Cauldrons" was drawn in and began to slide into the universe after "Ascension".
Perhaps because the interface is simple and there are few restrictions.
The top beings of the world in "The Nine Cauldrons" were the first to notice this, compared to the main gods and supreme beings of the universe after their ascension.
In my spare time, I diligently observe the state of the universe after my ascension.
Cao Ya's reminder heightened his vigilance.
Especially after sensing the gods of light and darkness!
That incredibly terrifying aura, if its owner were to step into the world of [Nine Cauldrons Chronicles], would be enough to pierce through the entire universe!
“Among us, there are still too few strong individuals from the Lesser Realms,” Pei San said, looking around and shaking his head.
“That’s quite a lot!” Teng Qingshan said. “It’s only been a thousand years. As the Thunder Blade God said, if we could have ten thousand years to develop…”
"It's a pity we don't have any," Qin Shiqi sighed.
"The ancient human race was able to survive for hundreds of millions of years, so it must have had its trump cards," said Emperor Yu. "Now, with our addition, the power of the ancient race has undoubtedly increased."
"Perhaps, then we can deal with both angels and demons, who knows?"
Everyone nodded.
That's all we can do, hoping and imagining it.
Cao Ya then realized that what Emperor Yu said was indeed true.
The martial arts of the world of 【Nine Cauldrons】 are divided into Acquired, Innate Void Core, Innate Solid Core, Innate Golden Core, Entering the Void Realm, Penetrating the Void Realm, and the realm of the strongest.
The strongest being, the Niwan Palace world has undergone a great transformation and taken shape. In terms of status alone, it is comparable to the Nine Provinces Continent.
Then, Emperor Yu, the Heavenly Emperor of Qinling, the Poet Sword Immortal, the Thunder Blade God, and the Buddha Shakyamuni, among others, blazed a new trail, drawing inspiration from the Earth and the universe, and resolved to propel the nascent world into a true great universe!
In other words, after the initial formation of the world, there are the levels of Small World, Middle World, Great World, and Universe.
These correspond to four-star, five-star, six-star, and seven-star ratings, respectively.
The current Yu Emperor and his companions are all at the peak of the Lesser Realms, that is, at the peak of the four-star level.
Teng Qingshan, Qin Shiqi, Pei San, and the others, who were located on the Nine Provinces Continent, were slightly weaker, but they had all reached the four-star Small Realm realm.
Especially Teng Qingshan, who is almost on par with those previous generation's strongest experts!
Their combat strength is almost equal!
As for the Void Realm experts from Duanmu Continent, such as the God of War of Yunmeng, and many others from the Nine Provinces Continent, although they have also improved, most of them are still at the level of Entering the Void Realm or Penetrating the Void Realm. The number of supreme experts at the level of the embryonic world is pitifully small.
As for the smaller world, it's still just a handful of people.
It can only be said that, in terms of peak powerhouses, the world of [Nine Cauldrons Chronicle] is no less powerful than the ancient universe of [After Ascension].
A four-star peak, converted to the Primordial Era, is equivalent to a Supreme Being!
In the ancient past, the previous Azure Dragon Supreme, "Xuanyuan," perished during the first war between gods and demons. The one who inherited the power of the Azure Dragon was Fengyun Wuji.
Excluding Cao Ya after his ascension, there were only four Supreme Beings in the Primordial Land.
Even if we include Feng Yun Wuji's main body and his avatars, the number of them wouldn't exceed ten.
In the world of "Nine Cauldrons", Emperor Yu, Emperor Qinling, Poet Sword Immortal, Thunder Blade God, and Buddha Shakyamuni are the pinnacle of the five major realms, and are supreme beings at the level of ancient supreme beings!
Teng Qingshan can also be considered a strongman of this kind.
Pei San and Qin Shiqi were slightly inferior.
Of course, this still doesn't include Cao Ya from "The Nine Cauldrons".
One of these peak four-star experts is enough to rival an army of thousands!
The number of Supreme Beings has doubled. How could this not be a good thing for the Primordial Era?
It should be noted that the ancient White Tiger Supreme implemented a bloody killing policy after the first war between gods and demons in order to cultivate a Supreme to fill the vacancy left by "Xuanyuan" and complete the Four Sacred Beasts Formation.
Suddenly, there were six more supreme beings...
If we include Cao Ya from "The Nine Cauldrons", then there are seven supreme beings!
Although the world of "Nine Cauldrons" does not have the Four Sacred Beasts, it is impossible to significantly increase combat power.
However, without a doubt, the chances of the human race winning the second war between gods and demons will be much, much greater than during the first war!
"What's more, my true combat strength has long since reached the five-star level," Cao Ya thought to himself in [Nine Cauldrons Chronicle].
Buzz...
Suddenly, a powerful force of law permeated the world of [Nine Cauldrons Chronicle], sweeping across both interfaces.
Such a large-scale action could be sensed by anyone above the Void Realm.
Emperor Yu, Emperor Qinling, Poet Sword Immortal, Thunder Blade God, Buddha, Teng Qingshan, Pei San, Qin Shiqi, as well as Yunmeng War God, Zhuge Yuanhong, Wu Laotou, Huang Tianqin, Yu Tonghai, and other mythical beasts including the demonic dragon "Zi Xi", the golden dragon turtle, the bear venerable one, the mother of the phoenix, and the black horse.
At this moment, all the powerful beings above the Void Realm sensed that lofty law that overlooked the heavens and the universe.
Like a supreme deity!
"What is that?!"
All the powerful figures paled.
Before that law, whether it was the peak-level Yu Emperor, Qinling Heavenly Emperor, Poet Sword Immortal, Thunder Blade Heavenly God, Shakyamuni Patriarch, Teng Qingshan, or the next level Pei San, Qin Shiqi, or other beings who were even weaker, they all felt a sense of awe and could only look up to it.
It felt as if I were facing the vast universe, and I suddenly felt my own insignificance.
"The Law of Balance!"
Cao Ya also spoke solemnly, uttering the name of that law word by word.
As it spoke, the Law of Balance retreated into the universe after its ascension, seemingly only briefly glancing at the world of the Nine Cauldrons.
But Cao Ya knew that the truth was more than that.
Earth, the universe, and the Nine Provinces continent have all begun to be brought under the jurisdiction of the Law of Balance.
It should be noted that the world of "Nine Cauldrons" has two realms. One is the Earth universe, which is the Dharma-ending Age, where those below the strongest cannot cultivate because there is no spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
As for the strongest beings, they possess a nascent world of their own and follow the path of comprehending the laws of heaven and earth, so their need for spiritual energy is not so great.
Simply reduce the number of times you need to use your hands!
Reduce losses!
The other interface is the Nine Provinces continent.
In fact, this world is not limited to the Nine Provinces Continent. At the end of the North Sea, there is another continent called Duanmu Continent, which is about twice the size of the Nine Provinces Continent.
Thunder Blade God and Cao Ya after his transmigration are both beings belonging to the Duanmu Continent.
But regardless of whether it's a continent or an island, in the face of a major crisis of global collision and integration, they are all on the same side.
Unite against external threats!
"The law of balance?" Teng Qingshan frowned.
The group of people were all bewildered.
What is that thing?
The laws of the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth), the laws of lightning, wind, light, and darkness, including the laws of yin and yang, reincarnation, destruction, slaughter, and life, are all things that must be studied after reaching the Void Realm, hence their understanding of them.
I've never heard of any law of balance!
Even if no one comprehends the laws of time and space, one can still sense their existence while living in the world.
The law of balance is the only one that I have noticed for the first time.
"The unique Great Dao of that universe?" Emperor Qinling asked.
He had a premonition that even if he advanced further and attained the Middle Realm, he would still find it difficult to match that law of balance.
“Hmm.” Cao Ya nodded and said seriously, “After ascension, the universe is much larger than our world, with powerful beings as numerous as clouds and experts as plentiful, all measured in hundreds of millions.”
"On the contrary, we have caught up with the Supreme level at the peak of the Lesser Realms."
"Of course, this only applies to the ancient times."
"However, even the Supreme One is not the strongest!"
“Each of them has thirteen Light and Dark Gods, who are even above the Supreme! They are equivalent to our Middle Realm First Realm.”
"Those supreme gods, who wield the laws of the Great Dao, are immortal and indestructible for countless eons, overlooking the universe."
"Logically speaking, such an existence should be the strongest."
"However……"
At this point, Cao Ya let out a long sigh, giving everyone some time to process what had happened.
Emperor Yu, Teng Qingshan, and others all knew about it.
The key part is what comes after "however".
Those gods are probably not the strongest beings in the universe after their ascension!
They held their breath.
Cao Ya said in a deep voice:
"Actually, in the universe after ascension, there is a fourteenth main god, known as the 'King of Gods'!"
"However, the existence of the fourteen main gods disrupted the balance between the gods of light and darkness."
"Therefore, the law of balance was revealed, directly disrupting the gestation of the fourteen main gods, causing them to be born prematurely, before reaching the level of main gods."
"The four sacred beasts that the ancient human race relied on were also products of the law of balance."
"To fight against the God of Light and Darkness!"
"Let the ancient times continue to exist."
"The so-called balance is to balance the power in the universe."
"That law of balance transcends all the laws and rules of the Great Dao!"
"The ultimate law!"
"Even the supreme god cannot resist!"
"Perhaps, it has already reached the level of the Great Realm."
As Cao Ya finished speaking, the group of powerful figures looked at each other in bewilderment.
They could not imagine how this law came into being, or why it exists.
That makes absolutely no sense!
"That vast universe is indeed quite unique," Teng Qingshan murmured.
A group of martial arts masters had many concerns about this, but also felt excited.
"We are scattered across two realms to protect the world. In a few days, we will fall into the universe after ascension. When the two worlds merge, the upheaval will be earth-shattering, and all living beings will suffer calamity!" Emperor Yu said.
"Cao Ya, the Duanmu Continent depends on you." Thunder Blade God looked at Cao Ya and said.
"Don't worry, I'm from Duanmu Continent, how could I be careless?" Cao Ya smiled.
With the protection of three top experts—Teng Qingshan, Pei San, and Qin Shiqi—along with countless Void Realm and Cave Void Realm cultivators, as well as supreme experts at the nascent stage of the world, Cao Ya basically has nothing to worry about.
The islands overseas also have supreme experts or those at the Void Realm in charge.
For example, the Poet Sword Immortal left behind the Bright Moon Island, which inherited the "Immortal Jade Disc," and has its own native Void Realm and Cave Void Realm.
Those mythical beasts also guarded the mountains, forests, snow valleys, and other places.
As for Emperor Yu and the other four, they had to guard the Earth and the universe and could not leave their posts.
In short, all beings above the Void Realm, regardless of their race, face arduous tasks.
Even some powerful individuals don't care about the lives or deaths of outsiders.
But family and friends will always care.
There's always a special kind of feeling one has for their hometown.
"Everyone, take care!" Emperor Yu clasped his hands in a fist salute, and his illusory figure vanished.
The Heavenly Emperor of Qinling, the Thunder Blade God, the Poet Sword Immortal, and the Buddha Shakyamuni all had their illusory forms collapse, and their consciousness returned to their original forms within the Earth's universe.
"Phew~~"
Cao Ya also left, crossing hundreds of thousands of miles of sea, and arrived at the Duanmu Continent.
The War God of Yunmeng, the Black Steed, and others followed him back.
Meanwhile, Teng Qingshan and his group were stationed in the Kyushu Continent and the surrounding seas.
All living beings were filled with unease.
I was in a very contradictory and complex state of mind, both expectant and afraid.
******
******
At the same time.
[After Ascension] The Universe.
Ancient times.
boom!
The White Tiger Supreme, facing all the ancient humans, suddenly knelt down as if overturning a mountain of gold and a jade pillar.
"I, Gongsun, am guilty of the ancient times and of humanity!" the White Tiger Supreme said mournfully, looking extremely remorseful.
On the ancient land, countless humans were stunned.
They were stunned.
For a moment, no one could react.
"We are all ashamed before the ancient times!"
At that moment, the Vermilion Bird Supreme and the Black Tortoise Supreme also knelt down, their faces filled with shame.
