"Although it's only a temporary solution, it will definitely delay the onset of the outbreak significantly," Cao Ya said softly.
Besides, why cut off the path to transcendence?
If someone has the talent and understanding to transcend, then let them transcend. There's no need to hold them back or cut off the realm above the imperial path.
Of course, the requirements for transcendence must be set high. Putting aside everything else, one must at least have a combat power of over 200 million cards, like Yang Shen, to achieve transcendence!
Anything under 200 million calories? Forget about it!
Without that ability, traversing the boundless chaos and void is actually quite dangerous. Who knows what lies deep within the void?
Cao Ya thought that such a person might not appear even once in ten thousand years!
Even if several appear, it's still acceptable.
After all, the energy of a seed is simply too vast and boundless—otherwise, how could the Heavenly Emperor regenerate indefinitely?
If the seeds were not restricted and had to follow the rules, the resistance of the Three Realms would have been futile.
"If martial artists in the real world exist and are immortal, their energy cannot return to the seed. Over time, after tens of thousands of years, the energy will become unbalanced, and the world's flaws will reappear. I'm afraid there will be signs of another world-ending catastrophe." The Emperor of Annihilation said in a deep voice, his question hitting the nail on the head.
"Yes, what should we do?" Ba Tian Di also said.
“It can be said that almost every martial artist dreams of pursuing immortality! However, due to limitations in aptitude and comprehension, some succeed while others do not,” the War Emperor murmured. “If we take ten thousand years as a unit, the time is very long. There is no doubt that those martial artists who can succeed will definitely appear—unless the path ahead is cut off! But judging from your words, it doesn’t seem like you want to cut off the path. You will continue to spread martial arts throughout the world. This action will undoubtedly help promote the emergence of such powerful martial artists.”
Although they are already dead, the Emperor of Annihilation, the Emperor of Tyranny, and the Emperor of War still hope that all living beings in this real world and the projected world can reproduce generation after generation until the end of time.
However, the problem of energy imbalance is one of the biggest challenges that must be solved for the development of the universe.
Infinite energy is what gave rise to the universe!
“This is a dead end, and it can’t be changed,” Seed said indifferently.
Fang Ping remained silent.
Indeed, if the path is not broken, and there are too many powerful, immortal martial artists, the energy will cease to flow, and the seed will be unable to sustain itself...
Wouldn't that be another catastrophe that destroys the world?
But Fang Ping felt he couldn't bring himself to cut off the road. He asked himself honestly, while he wasn't exactly a good person, he wasn't that bad either, only caring about himself and disregarding others.
Furthermore, if the road is truly cut off, I fear there will be a future war of rebellion against heaven among all living beings!
And that sky belongs to Fang Ping!
“Cao Ya, how do you plan to solve this problem? If you can’t solve it… hey, it’s all nonsense!” Yang Shen said.
“Simple,” Cao Ya said with a smile.
Simple?
The group was taken aback and looked at Cao Ya in surprise.
"The condition for achieving immortality is that every hundred, five hundred, one thousand, or ten thousand years, one needs to undergo a tribulation—you've all heard of the legendary three calamities and nine tribulations, right? That's what it means!" Cao Ya laughed.
This inspiration came from other worlds. How can one achieve immortality without experiencing hardship?
This perfectly solves the problem of energy flow!
Although it is still only a temporary solution.
"When the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations arise, martial artists who cannot overcome them will die. Their energy will return to the seed, and their souls will return to the projection world. Their past will be washed away, and they will be reborn as humans, livestock, or plants. If they overcome them and can continue on their journey to the end, they will achieve transcendence and take away all the energy they have!" Cao Ya said.
"Of course, there are also problems. If multiple transcendent figures emerge, they will take away the energy they have accumulated along the way, almost in the massive amount. If this happens too often and too many people leave, the energy will inevitably become unbalanced again."
"So this is still just a temporary solution."
Cao Ya sighed deeply as she spoke.
"Isn't there a fundamental solution?" Fang Ping asked.
"Yes! A world without martial arts!" the seed spoke, this was its experience after learning from the lessons of the Three Realms. The projected world inside did not impose such a heavy burden on it as the real world outside, so much so that it had to destroy the world!
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
“There’s no need to worry too much. Treating the symptoms won’t cure the problem, but it can delay the onset of the problem. It should last for at least 100,000 years, right?” Cao Ya said leisurely. “That’s enough time for us to come up with a better solution.”
"Besides, is there really no other seed in the chaotic void, and is it truly incapable of absorbing and releasing energy to replenish the world? I don't think so! Otherwise, how did the seed appear? There must be a reason!"
He sensed this boundless void, dark and profound, endless, yet it seemed devoid of energy.
But Cao Ya knew that this was impossible.
How could a seed be born in a place of utter desolation?
After thinking it over, the War Emperor had to admit that Cao Ya's words made a lot of sense.
“But extracting energy from nothingness is not an easy task,” said the War Emperor.
"Not easy? You make it sound so easy, it's incredibly difficult! Harder than climbing to heaven!" Yang Shen snorted. "Even our senses can't accurately detect the energy in the void, which shows how scarce this energy is. It's like finding a needle in a haystack. Perhaps even after ten thousand years of hard work, it wouldn't be enough for an ordinary person's lifetime needs."
"There's always a way," Fang Ping said, trying to console himself with that thought.
Fang Ping then rushed into the seed and saw the projected world, where countless phantoms lived, and generations of humans reproduced and developed, with relatively advanced technology.
In the end, Fang Ping awakened the Azure Cat, swallowed the seed, and became the master of the real world, while he managed the projected world.
The beings of the real world were also awakened by Fang Ping shortly thereafter.
Fang Ping resurrected all the dead people.
At Cao Ya's suggestion, the real world was renamed the Yang world, and the projected world was renamed the Yin world. The two realms of Yin and Yang were originally connected by the Three Emperors' True Path, but later it was felt that this was not enough, so Fang Ping created three more True Paths to make up the number "six", which is called the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
As for the Heavenly Tomb Secret Realm, it lies in the gap between the Yin and Yang realms, allowing one to travel between the two worlds.
The War Emperor and the Destroyer Emperor, along with the two cats and the Book Fragrance, traveled between the two worlds. As for the Overlord Emperor, he challenged people everywhere and fought against them.
After the Yang God appeared in two worlds and the Six Paths of Reincarnation, he left this world and went deep into the boundless chaos and nothingness.
Before leaving, he invited Cao Ya, but Cao Ya declined.
Because he hasn't found a way to completely cure the energy imbalance problem, he can't bring himself to just leave.
Although Yang Shen was disappointed, he was not prepared to wait. Who knew how many years it would take?
Fang Ping and Cang Mao take turns ruling the two worlds, each receiving one-third of the seed's power—the remaining one-third is distributed between the two worlds—making them incredibly powerful.
Cao Ya had witnessed Fang Ping's martial arts demonstration outside the boundary; that immense energy, with a mere gesture, was enough to destroy a vast world!
According to Fang Ping, he couldn't say for sure what the exact combat strength was, but it was definitely over 5 billion calories!
Cao Ya was shocked, feeling that it was at least a five-star high-level or higher!
