“Live as long as you can…” The words of the Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor echoed in his mind with a tone of pessimism and despair. The next second, the Heavenly Dao felt the world spinning around him, while Wen Yu, who had been observing the memories of the Heavenly Dao, saw the scene shift abruptly to a vast and unknown place.
In the boundless space, brilliant lights danced around, with various streams of energy of different colors scattered about. At the center, a spherical stone block with nearly a hundred meters in diameter continuously emitted an astonishing aura.
Each fluctuation of this aura seemed like a drumbeat, causing the surrounding space to tremble violently. Without anyone needing to introduce it, a term abruptly flashed through Wen Yu's mind—World Core!
It contained most of the origin power of the entire world, representing the pulse and life of a world, and it was also the heart of a world!
Wen Yu watched as the Heavenly Dao slowly approached the World Core, then placed his right hand against it—energy began to transfer, and the aura of the Heavenly Dao visibly intensified, while the World Core began to shrink!
The energy from the World Core surged into the Heavenly Dao's body, until the World Core's volume was reduced by nearly one-third, at which point the Heavenly Dao finally withdrew his right hand.
The overwhelming aura began to ferment; the Heavenly Dao's strength, momentum, and even essence of life began to undergo transformation.
Then, a gentle force slowly pushed the Heavenly Dao's body, and in the blink of an eye, the Heavenly Dao had appeared in the outside world.
…
The location where the Heavenly Dao appeared was far from the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance Headquarters.
Even with the strength of the Heavenly Dao, it took three days to return to the headquarters.
Along the way, the scenes that the Heavenly Dao saw vividly appeared before Wen Yu's eyes—corpses littered everywhere, the already battered Immortal Heroic World was in an even more intense battle, resembling a helpless giant beast, torn and scarred by war.
They lost...
Even from Wen Yu's perspective, he could see the state of the war along the way—the war potential of the Immortal Heroic World had been completely depleted, and the remaining population and life could hardly withstand a second race war.
The Heavenly Dao naturally understood this. However, the Heavenly Dao was not the Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor. Alone, he had no ability to change the course of the war.
With steady steps, the Heavenly Dao returned directly to the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance Headquarters.
…
“Where is my master?”
“In seclusion... no one can disturb him…”
The drunken voice of the Drunken Daoist rang out, but there was a hint of despair and dissatisfaction with the Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor in his tone.
Hearing this, the Heavenly Dao hesitated for a moment before turning and walking towards his residence—having just advanced, he needed some time to digest the level 11 power.
“Wait…”
A voice came from behind.
“Hey… I just went to see the treasure land guardian. They told me…”
“The seal of the Demon Realm Gate was released voluntarily by the Heaven-Piercing!”
“I don’t believe it!”
“I don’t believe it either! But given the current situation… the treasure land guardian gave me another path. The sovereign has spoken; he can save a few hundred people from the Immortal Heroic World, and these people will become the treasure land guardians… I was thinking, perhaps this wouldn’t be a bad fallback.”
“Hmm.” The Heavenly Dao responded.
“But… the sovereign has a condition…”
“What condition?”
“Only level 10 limit breakers can become treasure land guardians. Moreover, some time ago, the sovereign had already made preparations to leave. So, if one wants to become a treasure land guardian, they must enter the treasure land within three years…”
“And then?”
The Drunken Daoist fell silent for a moment.
The Heavenly Dao slowly turned around and gazed into the Drunken Daoist's eyes.
