One hundred million, eighty million, seventy million.
"It'll be soon, very soon."
[You have stepped into the "River of Chaotic Void," where all the laws of this universe are scattered within a long river. When a being breaks through to the seventh realm, they can leap from lower dimensions to higher dimensions, becoming an immortal being in time, fishing across the heavens and capturing the laws of the universe.]
This universe is similar to the "Star Universe" where Fourteen once resided; that universe was like a planet, and its principles only manifested on its surface.
The "Chaotic River of Void Time" manifests its principles only within the river of time in higher dimensions of the universe.
[Because it involves the name of Time, one must be an extraordinary individual who has cultivated a large number of Time Realm systems. Only after condensing a Dao Fruit can one absorb a sufficient number of Time Realm Dao Principles and enter the dimension where the River of Time resides using those principles.]
They are known as the "Immortals of Time," representing the seventh realm, the highest level in this universe.
[Those extraordinary individuals who primarily cultivate other systems... their condensed Dao Fruits lack corresponding functional Dao principles, thus they are forever trapped in "lower dimensions." Although they are invincible in the world, they have nowhere to replicate Dao principles and are thus called worldly immortals.]
There is no significant difference between a newly awakened Immortal of Time and a Mortal Immortal, but the former can continuously improve themselves by following the Dao principles in the long river of time, while the latter must remain stagnant for eternity. The longer time passes, the greater the gap in strength becomes.
You've essentially monopolized an entire ocean current in this long river, using your vast net to catch fish from all directions.
[And while you're at it, grab a bite of some other Air Force veterans.]
"Want to catch a fish? Take a look at this goldfish first!"
"..."
There are also even more bizarre cosmic ecosystems.
[In the "Ritual Heaven," the Supreme Heavenly Emperor forcibly separated a period of over nine hundred million years from the universe, causing that universe to lose nine hundred million years out of thin air.]
In an instant, the earth shifted, mountains and rivers turned, the powerful vanished, and those who never existed appeared out of thin air.
In that universe, the vast majority of beings remained unaware of anything amiss. Only a few top-tier beings, those lesser-level powerhouses who hadn't been taken away by the Heavenly Emperor, noticed anything wrong. They had lost nine hundred million years of memories, and everything before them seemed utterly unfamiliar.
"Return to Truth? Limited to the Universe? 900 Million Year Version"
You visited the Heavenly Emperor and saw him endlessly reincarnating over those nine hundred million years, living as a mortal and enjoying himself. He repeatedly relived that era, unwilling to leave the captured timeline, unwilling to move on to a new future.
[Simply because he feared change.]
He feared that as time passed, he would never see those old friends again, that the emotions he once shared would vanish, and that he would never again betray his initial heart.
Therefore, during this period of time that he had captured, he was constantly reincarnated, repeatedly meeting his fellow disciples and fighting alongside his friends against formidable enemies.
He repeated his mistakes, each time he became the Heavenly Emperor in this cycle, only to start over again, unwilling to take another step out into more distant times and spaces.
He wanted to see his junior sister still innocent and adorable, to see his senior brother still arrogant towards him, to slap the young master of the rival sect in the face time and time again, and to hear his master's stern lectures...
I wish I could stay in my childhood forever, climbing on rooftops, tearing off tiles, laughing and playing.
"The past..."
You seem a little dazed: "We'll be back soon, very soon."
[...]
There are only tens of thousands of Dao principles remaining.
At this point, if one were to enter other universes, the unreplicated Dao principles encountered would typically number only a few, a dozen or so, or even less than one.
[You enter the future, stepping across the void gate, and instantly enter the Origin Universe.]
[I came to the Origin Universe not because He Yuan was also working on sealing the Dao principles, but because the remaining Dao principles were too scattered. If you were to try them one by one, who knows how many universes you would have to search.]
[The Origin Universe is different. Not only are fully-formed Universe Lords crawling everywhere, but Dao Lords are also rampant, you can find them everywhere by the roadside.]
[You casually searched the soul of an ancient Dao Lord and then commanded him to reveal all the Dao principles.]
[Copy it verbatim.]
[However, staying in the same place and continuously replicating for more than three years isn't a good thing, so you might as well keep him by your side, travel through the universes of the future, and summon him whenever you have a spare moment to have him manifest the Dao principles for you to replicate.]
[Use it as a simple tool.]
After twenty cycles of returning to the origin, you will only have a few hundred points of the Old Dao Principles left.
[One week later.]
With a casual "Return to Truth," you've finished copying.
[In the midst of calm and tranquility, a complete transformation begins.]
The resonance multiplier has increased from two times to ten times, and it has truly reached the current version's maximum level...
[You feel that the two "Golden Cores" within your body are beginning to dissolve at this moment; they were formed by compressing 3 billion Dao principles from each of the two great powers.]
However, it did not dissolve immediately.
Instead, it lets you choose one of the two to inherit.
Authority must be inherited one by one.
"Which one should we choose first?"
You decide who to appoint, and whoever you point to is the one you choose.
Yun Shou: "...Can I come along when you order, honey?"
(I'll revise and fill in the gaps in one more chapter. (ˉ﹃ˉ?))
