Then, he sighed:
"However, Chen Nan is no weaker than me now, and as time goes on, normally Chen Nan will only become stronger than me."
"Don't sigh. Now that we're in the system space, with all of us working together, how can we be no match for Chen Nan?" Cao Ya, the Lord of Mysteries, laughed.
“There are also a lot of people working behind Chen Nan,” Cao Ya from [Divine Tomb] sighed. He had never thought of comparing his cultivation speed with Chen Nan’s.
There's no way to compete; we simply can't beat them.
Chen Nan is the key to the battle against the heavens. His body is like a "divine tomb," burying gods and demons. He is the most important piece in the game. The two heaven-defying kings of the "divine tomb" universe—Dugu Baitian and the Demon Lord—are personally watching from behind the scenes, waiting for Chen Nan to grow up so as to start the final battle to slaughter the heavens.
Of course, Chen Nan was a pawn, but he entered the game voluntarily.
Putting everything else aside, Dugu Baitian was his father in his previous life, so how could he not love his youngest son?
This scheme was originally planned by Dugu Baitian, the Demon Lord, and Chen Nan's previous incarnation, Dugu Xiaobai. In the end, Dugu Xiaobai personally joined the scheme, while Dugu Baitian and the Demon Lord kept an eye on the progress.
Later on, people like Chen Zhan and the Ghost Lord also got involved.
Therefore, such a key figure, whose previous life was at a heaven-defying level, must have had an absolutely top-notch cultivation speed, and there would be no bottlenecks for him. All kinds of resources would be emerging to support his growth.
Dugu Baitian, the Demon Lord, Chen Zhan, and the Ghost Lord are all willing to play supporting roles, but Chen Nan, who is like a "divine tomb," is the final key figure.
Chen Nan carried too much on his shoulders. Even Cao Ya of the [Divine Tomb] was awestruck by his progress, and could completely understand his incredible speed of cultivation.
Cao Ya of [Divine Tomb] was thinking about improving his cultivation level as much as possible before the final battle broke out. The Heavenly Rank was a bit too weak, and even the Heaven-Defying Rank wasn't enough. The Heaven-Defying King Rank was the cultivation level he felt satisfied with.
But the path of cultivation is not so simple; you can't just do whatever you want.
As a disciple guided by the old man who guarded the tomb, Cao Ya of the Divine Tomb made rapid progress in his cultivation in the early stages, quickly reaching the Heavenly Rank. However, for the next few hundred years, he made no progress and was stuck at the initial stage of the Heavenly Rank.
During this period, Chen Nan, who had been asleep for ten thousand years, was revived from the mausoleum and rose all the way up. Now he has the cultivation of the Heaven Rank, no less than Cao Ya of [Divine Tomb].
Even now, a great calamity has begun, and celestial ladders are everywhere.
These various pressures to survive were like mountains and seas, making it hard for Cao Ya of [The Tomb of the Gods] to breathe.
Even if he obtains the power of other Cao Ya, he will at most be at the middle or high level of the Heaven Rank, not even at the peak, and still very far from the Heaven-Defying or Heaven-Defying King Rank.
But no matter what, having the help of others is always more useful than cultivating alone. The path to defying the heavens, which had almost been hopeless, has now been rekindled with hope.
Cao Ya was already quite satisfied with the current situation, especially after his cultivation had stagnated for hundreds of years. He cherished the present moment even more.
He was also greatly influenced by the Dao of Lightning and the Dao of Sword. Returning to the [God's Tomb] universe should help him improve his cultivation and hopefully reach the intermediate Heaven Rank.
Even amidst the great calamity, those at the intermediate level of the Heavenly Rank are still somewhat weak.
“Why don’t you go find Dugu Baitian? He’s Xuanxuan’s husband, and Xuanxuan is the first disciple of the Tomb Keeper, your senior sister. If you use that connection to get in touch with Dugu Baitian, he won’t be angry, right?” Cao Ya from [Global Martial Arts] stroked his chin and said.
"Forget it, even Dugu Baitian's children can't find him, let alone me." Cao Ya from [Tomb of the Gods] shook his head.
Although they knew that Dugu Baitian was in the cemetery, if he had the will not to show himself, not only would Cao Ya of the [Divine Tomb] not be able to find him, but even his master, the Tomb Guardian, who was at the peak of the Heaven Rank, would not be able to find him at all.
Guashi
The most obvious example is that the old man who guarded the cemetery for thousands of years never discovered that Dugu Baitian was hiding in the cemetery.
That was Dugu Baitian's father-in-law.
This is understandable, but Dugu Baitian has no choice. In order to avoid the gaze of the Heavenly Dao and prevent the great battle from breaking out prematurely before Chen Nan of the "Divine Tomb" grows up, Dugu Baitian has to do this. He cannot see his children, his father-in-law, or even his wife. He must suppress the loneliness and solitude in his heart.
"Sigh, your universe is basically one of the most difficult among us," Cao Ya sighed.
Upon hearing this, Cao Ya could only manage a wry smile.
After their ascension, Cao Ya, Cao Ya from "Covering the Sky," and Cao Ya from "Immortal Gourd" all patted Cao Ya from "Tomb of the Gods" on the shoulder, showing a sense of shared misfortune.
“I feel better when I’m with you,” said Cao Ya, the ethereal and elusive newcomer, with a smile.
"It's probably not much better, is it?" Cao Ya of Panlong pondered.
“You’re right,” said the newcomer, Cao Ya, with a smile.
“You are currently in a state of being neither alive nor dead, which is quite unusual,” Cao Ya from [Perfect World] said.
The reason this newcomer's form is illusory is entirely because he is in a state between life and death.
He came from the world of Yangshen, and was a four-star figure who achieved dual supreme power in that world.
Tens of thousands of years ago, he traveled to the world of Yang God, eventually rose to power, became a Yang God, and shattered the vacuum.
In the world of Yang Shen, the path of cultivation is divided into martial arts and Taoist arts. The ultimate realms of these two paths are the shattering of the physical body into the void and the attainment of Yang Shen by the divine soul.
Cao Ya then attained the ultimate realm of this world in both physical body and soul, and the Yang God and the Shattering of the Vacuum correspond to the four-star level in the system space.
However, in that world of Yang Gods, the heavens and earth have a lifespan limit, and so do living beings. Even if one becomes a Yang God and shatters the void, one cannot live forever.
[Yang Shen] Cao Ya roamed the vast world and finally succeeded, but because his lifespan was about to end and his life was withering, he had to go to the Origin Land to extend his life by taking advantage of the special characteristics of the Origin Land.
However, even so, tens of thousands of years have passed, and he can no longer be considered fully alive.
Most importantly, the lifespan of the world of [Yang Shen] is coming to an end. When that time comes, everything will return to nothingness, and he will probably also be annihilated. From then on, dust to dust, ashes to ashes, soul and body will perish, and the body and the Dao will dissipate upon death.
“In my world, the protagonist Hong Yi has fully matured, and his physical body has reached the realm of shattering the vacuum. Only his divine soul is still lacking.” Cao Ya, the Yang God, sighed.
Although Hong Yi is very strong, Cao Ya, the [Yang God], does not believe that Hong Yi can truly save the world and avoid the cataclysmic calamity set forth by the rules of the universe.
He felt that even a five-star rating wouldn't be able to achieve this; only a six-star rating or higher would suffice.
What does it mean to go from four-star to five-star and then to six-star?
Even if Hong Yi is really strong, the difficulty is still far beyond imagination.
Moreover, Hong Yi's grand ambitions cannot be realized in the short term.
Even if you give them another ten thousand years... it's still a long shot.
"I can only say that I will do my best. If I can delay the cataclysmic destruction, that would be a great gain. If all else fails, perhaps I will have to return to the void along with the [Yang Shen] world after only a few visits. That would be a unique experience, but unfortunately, I cannot share it with you." Cao Ya, the [Yang Shen], said calmly, without any worry or fear.
