Meanwhile, among the myriad races of ferocious beasts, the ten ancestral emperors were slain, leaving only a dozen or so mythical-level emperors. The demon race's emperors were reduced to a few emperor-level powerhouses, while the spirit race, besides its ancestral emperors, still had several mythical-level emperors, dozens of supreme-level emperors, and hundreds of emperor-level powerhouses. This battlefield was subsequently known as the "Immortal Path," signifying the place where immortals fell.
After this battle, the Ancestor of Humanity, seeing that the human race had finally grown strong, was now facing another large-scale war that led to the fall of its powerful warriors, felt that if powerful immortals continued to descend from the "Immortal Realm," the human race would eventually be wiped out. Therefore, after discussing with the human race, he decided to seal the Flying Immortal Platform, the myriad races of ferocious beasts, and the Spirit Race to prevent future calamities that could endanger the human race.
However, once the Flying Ascension Platform is sealed, it's equivalent to severing the path from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to the "Immortal Realm." Furthermore, the immortal energy of the "Immortal Realm" will no longer be able to enter the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths through the Flying Ascension Platform due to the seal. Although immortals possess endless lifespans, when a powerful immortal in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths exhausts their immortal energy and cannot be replenished by immortal energy, they will eventually ascend to immortality and disappear from the world.
The Ancestor of Humanity was also puzzled as to why the beings of the "Immortal Realm" among the myriad races of ferocious beasts were frequently descending to the mortal realm. Therefore, the Ancestor decided to ascend to the "Immortal Realm" with several powerful Immortal Realm cultivators to find the root of the trouble. Before doing so, he left a soul imprint on our Destiny Clan, so that once the root of the trouble was found, he could inform us of the solution. Then, he planned to seal the myriad races of ferocious beasts and the Spirit Clan before ascending.
Now, the demon race no longer has any powerful beings above the highest level, and is no longer a threat to the human race. Therefore, they have not been sealed away and are allowed to breathe freely in the nine heavens and ten earths.
The progenitor of the Spirit Race, the Great Emperor, knew that sealing them together with the cruel and ferocious beast race would only lead to their annihilation. He then approached the Ancestor of Humanity, offering to lead all the Great Emperors and superior beings of the Spirit Race in voluntary transformation into the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nourish humanity, in exchange for the Spirit Race's survival in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. The Spirit Race was originally formed from the spiritual energy of the spirits of heaven, earth, mountains, rivers, plants, and trees; returning to heaven and earth to nourish humanity was also a form of repentance for humanity.
Seeing that the Spirit Race would no longer pose a threat to humanity, the Human Ancestor immediately agreed. The Spirit Race's progenitor emperor also kept his word, immediately transforming all the Spirit Race emperors into terrifying spiritual energy, which then scattered throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
The Ancestor of Humanity then forcefully used the power of all living beings to bring all the ferocious beast races to the Outer Heavens. Just as he was about to seal them, the Ancestor of Humanity sensed a prompt from the Heavenly Dao Mark and then released the Heavenly Dao Mark. He then said to the ferocious beast races, "In this golden age, those who defy the heavens will emerge, and only then can all the races be born." He then used terrifying immortal power and the power of all living beings to seal the ferocious beast races.
Then, using the power of immortals and the combined strength of everyone, a mysterious bead was crafted. Named the "Immortal-Breaking Bead," it was the key to breaking the seal on the Flying Immortal Platform placed by the Ancestor of Humanity. This bead was then entrusted to the Heavenly Mandate Clan for safekeeping, with the statement: "The Immortal-Breaking Bead will not be born unless one defies destiny." Afterwards, he traveled to the Immortal Path to seal the Flying Immortal Platform, and together with several powerful immortals, ascended to the "Immortal Realm."
Because this "Immortal-Breaking Pearl" sealed the Ascension Platform and all the ferocious beast races, no one in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths could ascend to the "Immortal Realm" anymore. The Heavenly Dao thus bestowed its karmic power upon this. The subsequent possessor of the "Immortal-Breaking Pearl" was the one who would settle this karmic debt.
Upon hearing the story of the creation of the world, Yuan Zhexian exclaimed, "I never imagined that the calamity of creation would be a calamity of survival, and that the continuation of the human race would be fraught with countless hardships. And this Immortal-Breaking Pearl is actually the key to the continuation of humanity. I will accept all the karmic forces, whether they be ferocious beasts or myriad races, or the power of karma from the Flying Immortal Platform. After all, I am also a member of the human race. Moreover, I am invincible, and I fear no karmic force whatsoever."
Yuan Zhexian then asked, "Senior, what kind of clan is that terrifying family you mentioned?"
An ancient, weathered voice replied, "They call themselves the race of the heavens."
"The Celestial Clan?" I thought it was the Yuan Clan! Yuan Zhexian murmured.
"You actually know about the Yuan Clan? The Yuan Clan is an even more mysterious existence than this Celestial Clan." Now it was the turn of the ancient and weathered voice to be surprised.
“My name is Yuan Zhexian, the divine son of the Yuan clan in this generation,” Yuan Zhexian said resolutely.
"You are actually a member of the Yuan Clan, and the chosen one of this generation! The Yuan Clan! The rebels! I think I understand something now." The ancient and weathered voice was surprised, but then regained its composure.
Yuan Zhexian grew increasingly curious about his own family and continued to ask, "Senior, you existed in the era of creation, so do you know the origins of my Yuan clan?"
The ancient, weathered voice immediately replied, "I do not know, and even if I did know, I could not speak of it, I could not speak of it."
Yuan Zhexian wanted to ask more, but the ancient voice interrupted him, "Alright, you will naturally know some things when you become stronger."
"You, the one who defies fate, are willing to settle this karmic debt and rewrite the universe and all living beings, then accept the final inheritance," the ancient and weathered voice said once more.
Then the entire space began to tremble. A gigantic, golden tree phantom appeared, with a golden seed standing in the center of the phantom, emitting a seven-colored light.
"What is this?" Yuan Zhexian asked in shock. After all, this illusory giant tree was too large to be described in words.
That ancient, weathered voice spoke with solemnity: "Seed of the World."
"The World Seed?" What kind of unparalleled treasure is this?
An ancient, weathered voice said, "It is not some peerless treasure; it is the foundation of the realm, the origin of the realm, a thing of the Great Dao."
Yuan Zhexian continued to ask, "Things of the Great Dao? Could you be more specific, senior?"
"According to the message passed down from the Ancestor of Humanity, the world we inhabit is divided into three levels: the Three Thousand Lesser Worlds, the Ten Middle Worlds, and the Great Thousand World. The world where we, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, reside is one of the Ten Middle Worlds, while the Immortal Realm is the ultimate Great Thousand World. The World Tree, nurtured by the World Seed, is the foundation of the entire world. Its three thousand branches and leaves represent the Three Thousand Worlds, its ten trunks represent the Ten Middle Worlds, and its entire trunk represents the Great Thousand World."
