Being afraid is useless.
[Faced with the truth, it is utterly vulnerable.]
[You soon came across a realm filled with the principles of "strength," "power," "dominance," "fierceness," and "intensity," as well as endless martial arts techniques.]
Your heart has turned cold.
[This principle of Dao... you cannot find a corresponding one among the fifteen immortals of the Yuantian Realm.]
[Only one of the sun-facing creatures is somewhat similar, but the sun-facing creature has appeared before.]
Therefore, this area is ruled by the "Endless Overlord".
[Among the 46 paths of the Summoning God system, the Path of the Overlord ultimately leads to the supreme being: the Endless Overlord.]
The Endless Overlord fell here.
【So……】
Soon enough, you discovered another set of principles.
The starry sky is dazzling, the Milky Way is magnificent, we move forward relentlessly, flowing ceaselessly.
The Lord of the Galaxy fell here.
[That somewhat rebellious Song Bai, who called you Xiao Yun and was beaten up by the five ancient immortals you commanded, has three systems related to the Summoning God system within his cultivation system.]
These are the Path of the River Lord, the Path of the Overlord, and the Path of the Heavenly Sovereign.
[When he was rebuilding the God Summoning System, the Calamity Force Field had already appeared, so the three ancient gods—the Lord of the Star River, the Endless Overlord, and the Azure Sky Emperor—did not notice and did not arrive.]
[Until the force of the calamity dissipates.]
[Song Bai's Dao Fruit contains the power of those three ancient gods.]
[Perhaps it's because Song Bai has already become an immortal, unlike Xiao Karami who has only condensed the Dao principles; his status and position are a level higher.]
Therefore, at least two of those three arrived in their true forms, not as clones, and thus the fallen Dao principles were manifested here.
[After Bai He spent 20 hours killing the Chosen One, the Ancient Gods arrived just in time.]
Not only did they die alongside them, but their very path was cut off!
"Seriously...they're not giving us any chance at all!"
Close your eyes.
"Fortunately, I have other options."
Of the 46 ways to invoke the gods, two do not require living animals to participate in the ritual.
The mention of living beings participating in rituals here does not simply refer to the use of other creatures for human sacrifice.
Fighting others, healing a wounded patient—that too is a form of ritual.
"The Path of the River Lord is gone, but I still have the Path of the Abyss!"
[You take out another set of materials.]
The ceremony was a success.
[You have advanced to the ninth rank of the Path of the Abyss, "Exploring the Mysterious".]
[...]
Retaking the course is a lonely experience.
Especially when you are confined to a small, confined space within a cosmic membrane.
This is even more unbearable than entering the claustrophobic space of a submarine.
[You don't dare expand the space you're in yet—the larger you expand it, the more power it will require.]
[You can only use Descent once a day now. A mere 1.2e17 Thorn Power is barely enough to create a small space that can barely accommodate you.]
[If you want to expand further, you won't even need to wait for the descent period to expire; the power you brought will be exhausted, like an insect trapped tightly by chaotic matter.]
In this environment, even half a day can feel tedious.
[If it were another system, you could use this free time to cultivate.]
The problem is that this is a summoning system; after setting up the ritual, you'll quickly level up to the maximum level.
[Next, we just need to wait for the ritual cooldown to end, and then proceed to set up the next ritual.]
[One month, three months, six months... the intervals will get longer and longer, accumulating to 64 years.]
The Path of Exploration differs somewhat from the Path of the River God; the time intervals between rituals are slightly different.
"How boring..."
[You think to yourself.]
"Let me use my powerful, mischievous mind to simulate it."
"Now it's—fantasy time!"
You have countless thoughts running through your mind.
[Year 7735.]
"Fantasizing all the time is getting a bit boring, let's play a game for a while."
[You utilize the power of your own systems to transform matter, scattering particles and then recombining them, converting some of your flesh and blood into metals, etc.]
This operation can only be used for simple material transformations, such as turning lead into gold.
However, if you're asked to simply use energy to create special life-extending resources, to generate substances with attributes from attribute-less energy, or something with special symbolic meaning like the "tiger's claws" required in the summoning ritual... then that won't work.
You created some rare metals, and then manually performed photolithography on them.
[Hand-crafted CPU, hand-crafted motherboard, hand-crafted hard drive.]
[Then insert the code bars and corresponding images of substances that you have memorized.]
"Success!"
"Not only did they create a quantum computer, but it also came with a virtual space and 4,784 games!"
[Year 7750.]
[You take out your virtual reality headset.]
He let out a long sigh.
"It's getting a bit boring; after all, a game is just a game."
"And these are all games I copied; I know the entire process, so there are no surprises whatsoever."
"When I make a choice, I know immediately what will happen next, and I know how the character will react."
"Although there are 3,672 random terms in that character's database, I know all of them."
"It's like a writer repeatedly reading his own work."
"No, if that writer is just an ordinary person with a limited memory, then even if he reads repeatedly, he will still experience surprises due to forgetting."
"But I can't forget..."
"Let's wait a little longer; we'll be able to leave in another forty years."
In the year 7770, you lay in the void, gazing at the Dao principles in the sky.
Over the course of decades, all the unusual phenomena marking the fall of the chosen ones dissipated.
The last vestige of evidence of their existence is gone.
"The more Dao principles one comprehends, the higher their essence, and the longer the extraordinary phenomena last."
[Look up. The Dao principles of the five ancient immortals are also weakening, and they probably won't last more than a few years. Only the Dao principles of the two ancient gods, the Lord of the Star River and the Endless Overlord, remain prosperous and powerful.]
"There should also be a Celestial Emperor, the last ancient god in Song Bai's three summoning god systems."
"But I did not sense His principles spreading."
"Either He didn't come."
"Either, it is just an avatar that came. Even if the original body is destroyed by the avatar, the anomaly will only appear at the location of the original body."
"Even if that phenomenon spreads across hundreds of thousands of light-years, its true form is likely hundreds of billions of light-years away from me."
