The Great Thousand Worlds is the birthplace, growth, and rise of many Yang Gods and those who shattered the void. The ancient philosophers also originated from here. Therefore, in the outer starry sky of the Outer Heavens, the Great Thousand Worlds was once known as the Immortal Realm, a place that everyone yearned for.
However, after the Middle Ages, the Great Thousand Worlds declined and was surpassed by the Outer Heavens. In particular, the overlord of the Outer Heavens—the Central World—was preparing for war and was always thinking of invading the Great Thousand Worlds and taking over the immortal realms of the Primordial Era, the Ancient Era, and the Middle Ages.
Unfortunately, due to the final calamity, some exceptionally powerful figures were also born in this vast world, such as Hong Yi, Meng Shenji, Hong Xuanji, and Yang Pan. If they were placed in the outer heavens, they would be considered top-tier experts.
Hong Yi, in particular, rose to prominence in just a few years, dominating the world. Now he has even attained the realm of shattering the void, defeating countless human immortals and ghost immortals who came to besiege him. He can be said to be the most powerful figure in the world, both ancient and modern.
Even many beings in the Central World, who originally chanted scriptures to assist the important figures of the Central World in besieging and killing Hong Yi, ended up falling into Hong Yi's hands.
Meanwhile, in the vast world, in the capital city of Yujing, Hong Yi was cultivating.
"Hmm?" Hong Yi suddenly had a sudden urge to move, and opened his eyes.
Ta-da~~
Suddenly, Hong Yi emerged from the Divine Artifact Hall of Saints that he had crafted. The others noticed Hong Yi's movements and were quite surprised.
"Ah Yi, weren't you supposed to be trying to comprehend the mysteries of shattering the vacuum, consolidating your skills, and preparing for your journey to the Origin Land? Why did you suddenly appear?" the Great Golden Spider asked in surprise. She was Hong Yi's good friend and had witnessed his rise to power. That's why she could call him "Ah Yi." Many others had joined him later and didn't share the same background, so they wouldn't address Hong Yi so affectionately.
"What's wrong?" As Hong Yi's Daoist partner, Chan Yinsha also came out of seclusion. She looked at Hong Yi with a worried expression, her concern evident in her words.
Hearing the commotion, the others also gradually came out.
In fact, apart from Hong Yi himself and a very few powerful individuals who joined later, such as Gou Li God King, the rest of the faction to which Hong Yi belongs can no longer play a significant role in the current situation.
There's nothing I can do; if I lack the ability, I can only be a spectator.
Even if those people cultivate diligently and assiduously, and have the resources provided by Hong Yi, cultivation still depends on comprehension.
A lack of talent might be compensated for by external things and resources, but a lack of comprehension is almost impossible to compensate for.
"Don't worry, it's an old friend visiting." Hong Yi squeezed Chan Yinsha's hand and smiled.
"An old friend?" Everyone was taken aback.
With Hong Yi's rise to power, his physical body has now shattered the vacuum, making him invincible. He has also written books and established doctrines, reforming the world and being revered as "Master Yi". Such a person's past has naturally become a source of curiosity for countless people, who have eagerly dug it up. They talk about his tragic experiences in his youth and his rapid progress and sudden rise to prominence with great interest and admiration.
Hong Yi couldn't stop them from doing this, so he had to let them be, since most of them weren't acting with malice.
Furthermore, throughout history, almost everyone who has achieved fame has experienced this.
Therefore, people are quite familiar with Hong Yi's past, whether intentionally or unintentionally. However, for a moment, no one could recall who the old friend he mentioned was.
Because Hong Yi was an old friend, it was obvious that they had a good relationship, and that he was not currently on their side, but also not an enemy.
Many of his old friends did their best to help him after he became successful. They had either heard of him or met him, and they would often meet him. Occasionally, they would have banquets and drinks together to chat.
If they had come to visit, Hong Yi would not have been this way; he should have been much more friendly.
However, upon closer observation, everyone noticed that although Hong Yi was friendly and his smile remained unchanged, he was not particularly close and maintained a certain distance.
Guwen
This attitude is probably what happens when an old friend, with whom you had some acquaintance but never a deep friendship, suddenly visits after many years.
However, no matter how hard they thought about it, they couldn't think of any old friends of Hong Yi who met these conditions.
"Who is it?" the giant golden spider asked curiously.
“You’ll recognize him when you see him,” Hong Yi said with a smile. “To be honest, I didn’t expect him to show up.”
Hearing this, everyone became even more curious.
"I really want to meet that old friend you mentioned." King Gouli smiled and said, "Judging from your appearance, your old friend is probably a super strong person in the world, right?"
“Mm.” Hong Yi nodded.
He thought for a moment, then spoke:
"He could probably be ranked among the top five in the past 120,000 years of this era, right?"
He hesitated for a moment, then added:
"Even if the top five are uncertain, the top ten are definitely within reach."
Everyone was surprised to hear this.
"One of the top five in this era?" Gou Li God-King was even more shocked. She was one of the five great God-Kings of the Primordial Era. Born and raised by nature, she was born holy. Although she was not at the level of shattering the vacuum, at her peak she possessed the combat power to shatter the vacuum.
As an ancient god-king, she experienced the most prosperous era of this time and had met powerful figures such as the Longevity Emperor, the Creation Daoist, and the Pan Emperor.
Even the five ancient god-kings were suppressed by the Eternal Emperor and sealed away by five immortal steles.
The five immortal monuments combined can become the king of divine artifacts.
However, some of the immortal monuments have now fallen into Hong Yi's hands. He plans to erase the mark of the Longevity Emperor, so that the King of Divine Artifacts will not appear, thereby weakening the Longevity Emperor's power and conversely strengthening it.
The Eternal Emperor and the Daoist of Creation are the most terrifying enemies.
Before engaging in combat, weakening them by even a small margin will correspondingly increase your own chances of winning by one point.
Hong Yi is confident, not stupid. If he can weaken the enemy, why not do it?
Moreover, this is not about doing anything shameful or despicable; it's all aboveboard and honorable.
"According to you, which of those beings were among the first five in this era?" Gou Li God King asked.
"Ayi, is that a Yang God, or something that can shatter the vacuum?" The Great Golden Spider was very excited. In her entire life, she had never thought that she would be able to see the legendary Yang God and shatter the vacuum with her own eyes. Now she was about to have her eyes opened.
Although Hong Yi was a Void Shatterer, their relationship was different. The Great Golden Spider was too familiar with Hong Yi and had a deep friendship with him. Even though he was also a living Void Shatterer who could dominate an era, the Great Golden Spider just couldn't feel as much emotion towards him.
"Not only, not only Yang God, not only shattering the vacuum." Gou Li God King suddenly became serious, correcting the error in the Great Golden Spider's words.
