Chapter 2029 – The Final Outcome

Lu Yun wasn’t short on dao crystals since his golden armored warrior replicas excavated countless mines during their jaunts around the world. He didn’t own as much as the five sacred palaces, but he was one of the richest tycoons around.

A hundred million dao crystals showered forth with a wave of his hand, gaining easy access to Cardinal Sacred City for the golden warriors. This was the most spacious city that he’d ever seen before. It wasn’t ridiculously enormous like he thought it would be—just ten thousand kilometers across.

That was nothing to a supreme.

There were no ripples of spatial formations or the presence of spatial order in the city. Only primitive buildings filled the streets; it seemed no different from a city in the mortal world. As his replicas walked its streets, he used their feet as brushes to etch countless traceless formations through the city.

After this recent period of getting acquainted with the world, Lu Yun had discovered the supplemental arts of this world were exceedingly antiquated. But rather than concluding that there were no spatial formations within the city, it might be more accurate to say that the powerhouses of this world didn’t know how to use them.

As he studied the eyes of great dao, he realized that if he controlled a treasure like the eyes, he would be able to locate his target within a few breaths and commence an attack.

Thank goodness that this world was so very much out of date.

They were behind the times, so they isolated themselves and rejected everything new and different. Emerging methods and knowledge were viewed as threats and evil.

Perhaps so-called demons from the outside world really had visited in the distant past, but it’d now become a time-honored tradition to shun everything not of this world. Even its great daos were affected and remain in a state of origin.

Their empyrean supremes would be unable to detect, understand, or resolve Lu Yun’s traceless formations. His replicas had blatantly set up traceless formations when fleeing from the eyes, but they’d easily duped their pursuers nonetheless.

Lu Yun was both gratified and resigned by the situation.

This world, this only patch of reality, had become incomplete. If he truly wanted to revive this world and help it continue growing and developing so it could manifest all life, he had to change its generally held notions. Perhaps.. this world would begin to change if he killed its inhabitants and turned them into Infernum.

Otherwise, even if he built a world of immortals here, it would be corroded by the origin state of this world’s great dao. His world’s inhabitants would be affected. They would turn ignorant, fall behind, and then shut themselves away.

The paths of great dao were tread by the feet of the living, while the living was affected by great dao. It was a complementary relationship.

Lu Yun hesitated when his thoughts traveled here. If he erupted in all-out slaughter in the city, that might deepen this world’s prejudices against outsiders. That would make it even more difficult to direct the great daos of the outside world into this one and change their fundamental beliefs.

“I can only destroy the city. There can be no killing.” Lu Yun set his jaw and slightly altered the formation beneath his feet.

Destroying the city, but leaving everyone alive in it, was much harder than just razing everything to the ground. But Lu Yun had no other choice. If he started an unjustifiable massacre, it would be very hard for him to change the opinions of this world.

He wouldn’t be able to do the job, at the very least. It would have to be his successor.

Lu Yun suddenly understood why Fuxi had sent him and not someone else. His cultivation method focused on accumulating goodwill and karma; it didn’t require him to turn into a cold-blooded murderer. Even when he took a life, he took the lives of his enemies or those who should die.

He’d never slaughtered innocents and wanted to give this faction a warning only because the three hundred and thirty-six eyes of great dao were backing him into a corner. He also wanted to create more space for himself.

Anyone else would’ve already gone on a rampage.

While he’d caused trouble prior to this and killed people, he’d only claimed the lives of those after him.

He suddenly understood a great deal that he hadn’t before.

The last person to visit from the chief worlds was the Disordered Empyrean Supreme. She was plainly Yun Yi or Fuxi’s first pick, or maybe just the candidate before him. But she’d started killing people before she established her dao in this world, so fell short of success.

That was why she knew how to gain the protection of the world’s great dao.

She hadn’t been resurrected just to be a sacrifice for the one in nihil and to revive the primordial world of immortals. She was also meant to be Lu Yun’s guide in this world.

As much of an accident that was the Tome of Life and Death, it was also part of the greater plan.

It was the item that the masterminds needed to end the Land of Reincarnation. Only a treasure like that could subdue hell, elicit the Disordered Empyrean Supreme’s attention, and compel her desire.

That was why Lu Yun had failed in the first thirty-three loops he witnessed and those that he hadn’t. The entire land underwent a great devastation and started anew, repeating without end.

This time, he succeeded and terminated the cycles.

Contrary to Qiu Feishan’s words, the Land of Reincarnation wasn’t a place for powerhouses to rest and recover. It was to gather the strength of a realm to nurture one person, someone who could revive the primordial world of immortals, inherit it, come to the real world, and establish their dao.

Lu Yun finally saw the entire plan and all of its sub-plots. Everything was laid out in front of him. This meant that the primordial world of immortals would ultimately join this part of real existence and become a world within this realm. He was yet to see the full nature of this realm—he didn’t know what else was here other than the five sacred palaces ruling over their territory.

Lu Yun was of the belief that this part of existence was similar to the chief worlds—divided into many worlds. This was only one of many. Perhaps this realm was like the primordial world of immortals—an intersection for all existence and worlds.

Whatever it was, it wasn’t by random happenstance that Fuxi or Yun Yi had sent him here.

“Formula dao can operate smoothly in this real world without obstruction, helping me calculate everything. It looks like the nihil powerhouse in my part of existence is meant to come back to life, which is why Yun Yi and Fuxi set all this up. They need to make use of this part of existence.” Lu Yun heaved a sigh and fell silent, focusing all of his thoughts on his one thousand and eighty warrior replicas.
