The fusion of the two worlds was faster than Li Daoyi had imagined. Of course, this was also due to the fact that the Journey to the West world had lost its spiritual energy and its world status had been lowered. As an outsider, the Blue Star could easily integrate into this world.
At this time, the world had undergone tremendous changes and was no longer recognizable as it once was. The merging of the continent of Water Blue Star had changed the land area of the major continents in the Journey to the West world, making them larger. The Four Seas had also nearly doubled in size. The people who were imprisoned on Water Blue Star were also distributed to the major continents along with the land beneath their feet.
Immediately afterwards, the entire world trembled violently. Li Daoyi sensed that the core of the Blue Star had returned to its place and officially become the core of the new world.
“Your turn, little guy.” Li Daoyi took out the bottle again and spoke to the cosmic consciousness inside.
Then, the bottle was opened, and a ball of consciousness energy flew out. It excitedly circled around Li Daoyi. After getting close to Mengmeng, it suddenly moved far away, seemingly very afraid.
"Hmph." The little guy snorted in dissatisfaction.
"Go." Li Daoyi smiled, waved his hand toward the sky, and his consciousness energy quickly flew up to the thirty-third heaven.
"boom..."
A loud bang echoed in the sky, and the energy of the cosmic consciousness began to envelop the entire world. Li Daoyi could sense that the cosmic consciousness was beginning to transform, evolving towards the Heavenly Dao.
"Whoosh..."
Immediately afterwards, a beam of energy appeared in the sky, fell downwards, pierced the ground and directly connected to the core of the world, and the new Heavenly Dao officially connected with the core.
The surrounding spiritual energy surged instantly. Although it was not as strong as during the Journey to the West, it still far exceeded the original spiritual energy concentration of the Blue Star. This was the blessing of the Heavenly Dao.
"Thank you." A clear voice appeared in Li Daoyi's mind. It was the feedback from the Heavenly Dao, and he was very grateful.
Slowly, the energy enveloping the world dissipated, and people regained consciousness. They had all sensed what had just happened, but as bystanders, they were unable to move.
"It's a success." Wu Lai's face lit up with joy.
"It's a success! The spiritual energy is so strong; the spiritual energy has returned."
The immortals were all shocked.
"Look!"
Suddenly someone pointed to the sky and said.
Li Daoyi's enormous Dharma body appeared in the sky.
Everyone immediately bowed in respect.
"The calamity has passed, and the two realms have been unified." Li Daoyi's booming voice resounded throughout the world.
"Greetings, Divine Lord." At this moment, Wu Lai flew directly into the air, manifested his Dharma body, and bowed deeply to Li Daoyi.
"The God Lord?" Li Daoyi was slightly taken aback.
“You are the master of all gods!” Wu Lai said, clasping his hands together.
"Greetings, Divine Lord." Everyone in the New World knelt down and worshipped the enormous phantom of Li Daoyi in the sky.
"Good." Li Daoyi smiled slightly.
Then his gaze fell upon all living beings, and at that moment everyone had the illusion that Li Daoyi was looking at them, and their eyes became even more devout.
Immediately afterwards, Li Daoyi's voice reached everyone's ears again.
"Buddhism is the heart, Taoism is the bone, Confucianism is the appearance; view the world with magnanimity. With skills in hand, abilities in body, and thoughts in mind, live life with ease. Three thousand years of history are nothing but fame and fortune; nine thousand miles of enlightenment ultimately lead back to poetry, wine, and pastoral life."
"Those who cultivate the Tao have the world in their hearts and profound thoughts in their actions. May you never stop your progress and achieve great success in your cultivation; may your wisdom be as vast as the sea and your insight as clear as the smallest detail; may your minds be clear and your hearts be filled with compassion. May you rise higher and higher on your path of cultivation and ultimately attain the Great Tao!"
After saying this, Li Daoyi's Dharma body slowly disappeared into the air.
Everyone fell into deep thought at this moment, including several sages. Li Daoyi's words were simple and clear, yet they contained profound meaning, leaving people with endless aftertaste.
"Hehe." Mengmeng jumped back onto Li Daoyi with a grin.
"Swish swish..."
Three streaks of rainbow light—one red, one white, and one yellow—flew over to Li Daoyi and Mengmeng. They were Xiaolongnu, Dongfang, and Qiyu.
"Mengmeng." Upon seeing Mengmeng, Dongfang excitedly snatched the little one from Li Daoyi's arms.
"Giggle giggle..." The little guy laughed happily nonstop.
Having not seen each other for a thousand years, the two Eastern women had been missing each other terribly, kissing the adorable little face on both sides.
"Boss, what did you just say? I didn't understand a word." Saitama scratched his bald head, looking confused.
"You're such a stubborn guy, just focus on training." Li Daoyi patted Saitama on the shoulder and laughed.
"Uh... really? I think so too," Saitama said with a silly grin.
Then Li Daoyi looked down. At this time, people had not yet fully recovered from the shock of the fusion of the two worlds. But Li Daoyi did not intend to get involved in what was to come. The fusion of the people of the two worlds would have to be done by themselves. He could not interfere in the whole process.
"Dao Yi, where are we going now? Are we leaving this world?" Dongfang Bubai asked.
Li Daoyi pondered for a moment, then spoke.
"I'm about to break through."
"What?" Everyone was stunned.
"Wouldn't that take a long time?"
"Don't worry, don't forget there's a Time Chamber outside," Li Daoyi said.
He originally intended to break through his cultivation level, mainly hoping to reach that mysterious space and meet the being that summoned him.
"Then, where do we go now?" Little Dragon Girl asked.
"Where were you two before?" Li Daoyi asked in return.
“Mount Putuo, the environment there is nice. Long’er and I have stayed there for a thousand years,” Dongfang Bubai said.
"The Guanyin Bodhisattva's sacred site? That sounds like a peaceful place. Let's go to Mount Putuo then!" Li Daoyi said with a smile. It seemed that he had a special connection with Mount Putuo in every world he lived in.
The group then flew towards the South China Sea. Although the world had changed, Mount Putuo was not hard to find. Soon they arrived at Mount Putuo in the South China Sea. Guanyin had not yet returned.
"Huh, this island has actually gotten quite a bit bigger," Dongfang Bubai exclaimed in surprise.
"It has grown quite a bit." Little Dragon Girl nodded as well.
“That’s natural. With the merging of the two realms, the terrain and landforms have all changed.” Li Daoyi nodded.
The group then walked together to the Purple Bamboo Forest and found an open space. Li Dao waved his hand, and the Mental Time Chamber appeared on the open ground.
With another wave of his hand, a brand new courtyard appeared.
"Woohoo..." Mengmeng happily ran into the yard.
"I'll live here for now, and we'll talk about it again after I break through to the next level," Li Daoyi said.
The group nodded.
"Sister Dongfang, I'm hungry." At this moment, Mengmeng poked her head out from the doorway.
"You little glutton," Dongfang said with a laugh, but still went inside.
Meanwhile, after the initial shock, people from the two worlds began to interact. As the original cast from the Journey to the West world, their cultivation levels were much higher than those of the people from Water Blue Star. Fortunately, they did not use their power to oppress others.
On the planet Water Blue Star, a group of five—Elder Song, Elder Tang, Kaido, Tang Ning, and Xiao Kui—visited Wu Lai and his companions. The two sides engaged in a heated discussion about the future development of the world. It must be said that Elder Song and his group were ignorant and fearless, daring to negotiate with the saints despite their cultivation levels not even reaching the level of immortals. This behavior directly shattered the worldviews of the immortals from Journey to the West, making them realize that the mortal cultivators of Water Blue Star should not be underestimated. It seems that the mortal cultivators of Water Blue Star have more independent thinking than the people of the Journey to the West world.
Ultimately, both sides reached a consensus, adhering to the priorities of Li Daoyi's world fusion. The people of the Water Blue Star world would be divided according to the territories they would be in after the world fusion, and the original cities of Water Blue Star would be preserved, as would those in Journey to the West. Furthermore, both sides established the Immortal Alliance based on the original system of Water Blue Star, jointly governed by the Immortal Race, Demon Race, and Human Race, with each race electing a leader to serve as the alliance leader.
In addition, the immortals need to shoulder certain responsibilities and provide certain assistance to mortals, such as preaching and enlightening them. Of course, the integration has only just begun and there is still a long way to go, but peaceful development is a consensus among everyone. Both sides have experienced great disasters and know how difficult it is to achieve peace.
Everything is progressing in a positive direction. Although conflicts still exist, they are all under control.
After finishing everything, Guanyin Bodhisattva, who preferred tranquility, returned to Mount Putuo. Upon arriving home, she immediately sensed the presence of Li Daoyi and the others and flew towards the Purple Bamboo Forest.
Two buildings suddenly appeared in the bamboo forest, and Mengmeng and Xiaodie were chasing and playing with each other.
"Hey!" Mengmeng looked up curiously when she saw Guanyin descend.
"Hehe, Sister Guanyin." The little guy ran towards Guanyin with a grin.
"Mengmeng, you're back." Guanyin smiled and caught the little one who ran towards her.
"Bodhisattva." The two women from the East nodded in acknowledgment. As women, they had always held Guanyin in high esteem.
"Fellow Daoists, where is the Divine Lord?" Guanyin asked.
"Long time no see." At this moment, Li Daoyi walked out of the house.
"Lord God," Guanyin quickly bowed.
"Hey, don't call me 'Master,' just call me Fellow Daoist." Li Daoyi waved his hand.
Guanyin then recounted the events that had occurred in the outside world, her eyes filled with excitement and astonishment. It must be said that although the cultivation on Water Blue Star lagged far behind that of this world, the technology brought by the other side still broadened everyone's horizons. In recent days, both sides have been learning from each other, and the world is thriving.
"That's good, take your time." Li Daoyi nodded.
He then looked at the others and said.
"I'm going into seclusion."
"Eeya?"
"So fast?"
"Yes, that's about it." Li Daoyi nodded.
"Brother, I want to go into seclusion too!" Mengmeng jumped towards Li Daoyi.
"That won't do. You'll just have to wait for me. Don't worry, it won't be long," Li Daoyi said, rubbing the little guy's head.
"Okay," Mengmeng said obediently, though a sly glint flashed in her eyes.
Li Daoyi shook his head helplessly. The little guy could come and go freely in the mental time chamber; there was nothing he could do about it.
"Alright, I'll begin." After saying this, Li Daoyi handed Mengmeng to Xiaolongnu, slowly walked into the Spirit World Room, and began his preparations for breaking through to the Hunyuan realm.
