Grand Finale

"Sky-Supporting White Jade Pillar?" Yang Tianyou narrowed his eyes. "Are you trying to trick me, Daoist?"

"Hehe, everything I have said is true. Your son is born with the Innate Eight Trigrams Sacred Body, naturally in harmony with the Way of the Eight Trigrams. His future is limitless, and he is just right to inherit my master's mantle."

"Oh? May I ask who your master is, Master?"

"The Four Wastes Star Lord, Immortal Yuan Hong!" The Daoist priest raised his head, full of pride.

It was him...

Yang Tianyou was shocked. He had certainly heard of this person; he was a great figure who surpassed even the Heavenly Immortals.

"Back then, my master followed Lady Nuwa into the Original Demon Realm and perished tragically. Lady Nuwa took pity on him and bestowed upon him Five-Colored Divine Stone. I brought my master's body back and buried it with the Five-Colored Divine Stone. Over the years, it has evolved into this Heavenly Mountain Great Thousand Realm," the Daoist said sadly.

"So that's how it is. What, then, is that Sky-Supporting White Jade Pillar?"

"This pillar is one of the four supreme treasures of the four great staff types in the Three Realms, possessing boundless power. However, its requirements for its master are extremely high. Since my master's death, no one has been able to gain its approval."

"So that's how it is!" Yang Tianyou understood. In the end, it was because his own child was too talented that the Daoist priest came to visit.

Ultimately, the two agreed that they would go to the Daoist priest's place and follow him in cultivation after Yang Xuanjing turned one hundred years old.

The Daoist agreed, leaving behind a Cultivation Method and several treasures before gracefully departing.

The birth of Yang Xuanjing not only excited Yang Tianyou and his wife, but also brought joy to the entire Lineage, which lasted for three whole years.

In the blink of an eye, a century has passed.

Yang Xuanjing had grown into a handsome young man. Due to his special bloodline, his growth rate was very slow, especially his appearance, but his strength improved every day. In just a hundred years, he reached the Void Refinement level, which was only because Yang Tianyou intentionally suppressed it.

The Daoist priest returned, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then took Yang Xuanjing away.

Yang Tianyou had spent a hundred years with his wife and children, and he embarked on his journey again. However, this time he no longer needed to travel through Space Wormholes. Instead, he simply flashed into existence and appeared on the Ninefold Universe Continent in the next moment.

"With this Heaven and Earth Ring, I can truly appear and disappear without a trace!" Yang Tianyou thought to himself.

He then went back to his old ways, devouring the Ninefold Universe Continent.

This time, freed from the constraints of his battlefield identity, Yang Tianyou became even more unrestrained, roaming every corner of the Ninefold Universe Continent, devouring everything in his path.

The volume of Great White Grotto Heaven gradually expanded, its diameter increasing from ten thousand li to twenty thousand li... and then to one hundred thousand li.

After reaching 100,000 li, Yang Tianyou's strength improved to another level. At this moment, apart from not having completed his Immortal Tribulation, he was no different from Immortal, and in terms of methods, he even had more than Immortal.

"Continue!"

Yang Tianyou's eyes burned with fervor; he wanted to devour most of the Ninefold Universe Continent.

In the blink of an eye, five hundred years had passed, and the Three Realms, the Ancient God Realm, and the Original Demon Realm all discovered that the Ninefold Universe Continent was rapidly shrinking.

The realms of Gods and Devils, in particular, have shrunk drastically, with their territories reduced by a tenth.

"What is going on?"

Inside the ancient hall, towering pillars, some tens of thousands of feet thick and others infinitely tall, stand with swirling vortexes of energy surging above them.

The Deities and the Demon King gathered together to discuss the reasons for the shrinking territory.

The God Race have only one, the Hundred-Armed Giant God, who is also the only Deities on the Ninefold Universe Continent, the strongest being, comparable to the Ascension to Immortality Immortal.

On the Devil Race side were four Demon Kings: Kutu, Xuelu, Huanmiao, and Wujin.

Among the Great Devil Kings, the Wujin Demon King is the most powerful, roughly equivalent to the seventh level of the Ascension to Immortality.

"It's that mysterious Mutant Beast," said the Kutu Demon King.

"What Mutant Beast? Playing tricks. It's probably the Three Realms' doing. Otherwise, how come their territory hasn't suffered any losses?" The Hundred-Armed Giant God sneered, his towering divine body casting a chilling shadow.

What should we do?

"Find the guy behind this, and then take him down! I've already consulted the Demon King Kuihai's calculations; he's not Immortal-Deity Level being. He must have some special talent or methods. We only need to send one Demon King to deal with him," said the Demon King Wujin.

"One is too few and not safe enough. How about this, I'll send ten God Envoy, all of whom possess the strength of a half-step Ascension Realm, and you send two Demon King -level beings, how about that?" said the Hundred-Armed Giant God.

The Demon Kings exchanged glances and finally agreed to send out the Kutu and the Xuelu Demon King. These two were equivalent to the third level of the Immortal Ascension to Immortality Realm and the fourth level of the Immortal Ascension to Immortality, respectively, and their strengths were not much different.

In the dark void, a black hole quietly appeared, devouring the edge of the Ninefold Universe Continent. Now, the power of the Primordial Black Hole is growing stronger and stronger, and the speed of its devouring is extremely fast. Almost every breath, large areas of territory disappear.

Boom!!

"You audacious thief, how dare you steal the territory of my Gods and Devils and demonic races! Die!!"

Two Demon Kings appeared with ten God Envoy and launched a direct attack on the Primordial Black Hole. However, they failed to shake the black hole. The Demon Kings were shocked. Then, a Golden Blade Light swept across billions of miles of Firmament, carrying countless energies of heaven and earth as it cleaved down. The next moment, the two Demon Kings instantly perished.

"Am I already that powerful?"

In the shadows, Yang Tianyou clicked his tongue in amazement. He hadn't expected that a casual strike he unleashed would be enough to kill Great Devil Kings.

"Then, the plan should be changed!" Yang Tianyou thought to himself. He then transformed into a nine-headed Frenzied Dragon, roared as he stepped into the Heaven and Earth Ring, and appeared directly in front of the Hundred-Armed Giant God. Under the latter's horrified gaze, he spat out countless Power of Annihilation, turning the latter into ashes.

After doing all this, Yang Tianyou wiped out all the God Race and left triumphantly. He then used the same methods to slaughter the Devil Race's stronghold, devouring countless Gods and Devils and demons, all of which he used to nourish the Life-and-Death Blade.

Then, no longer concealing his desires, he expanded the Primordial Black Hole to its limit, directly biting off half of the Ninefold Universe Continent before disappearing in a flash.

Not long after, the super-powerful beings of the Gods and Devils and demons descended, furious, and turned their spears towards the Three Realms. The Three Realms were not intimidated at all and fought back, summoning their respective backers. After a chaotic battle, the fighting ended with countless corpses left behind. The remaining Ninefold Universe Continents were taken over by the Three Realms, and the cultivators of the Heavenly Mountain Great Thousand Realm returned.

Upon returning to the Three Realms, Yang Tianyou discovered that the entire world was rejecting him. He realized he couldn't delay any longer, so he went to the void and easily passed through the Immortal Tribulation.

After overcoming the final tribulation, the last page of the Jade Register Heavenly Book of Heaven was revealed.

The Heaven-Measuring Ruler, Great Dao of Balance, can stabilize the Grotto Heaven world, balance the rules, and elevate one's status. At this moment, a surge of information entered Yang Tianyou's mind, informing him of the origin of the Jade Register Heavenly Book of Heaven. It was not the fragment of the Demon Realm that he had previously guessed, but rather a miniature universe that was born by chance during Hundun fortuitous opportunity. Ultimately, fortuitous opportunity chance, it landed in a small world within the Three Realms and was obtained by Yang Tianyou.

Besides this message, there was another message that introduced Yang Tianyou's identity, and at that moment, he understood everything.

"So that's how it is!!" Standing in the void, Yang Tianyou murmured to himself.

In the courtyard, Yunhua was tending to the flowers and plants when suddenly a voice called out, "Madam!!"

Yunhua's shoulders trembled violently, and she turned around abruptly, only to see Yang Tianyou's gaze, which was as usual, yet held something else within it.

"Husband!!" Yunhua exclaimed in disbelief.

"For countless years, my wife has suffered so much!" Yang Tianyou sighed.

Yunhua finally believed it. The two embraced, and through past and present lives, through all the changes in the world, only you remained unchanged!

(The Finale)

Sigh, I apologize first. I originally planned to write three million words, but the hiatus disrupted the rhythm too much. My mind went blank, and I turned the Lineage- themed story into a personal cultivation story, deviating from my original intention. I've decided to end it here and work hard on writing a new book.

I'd like to say sorry for letting down the readers who have supported me. There's not much else to say; a bad ending is a bad ending. All I can say is that I'll try my best not to repeat the same mistake in my next book. No matter how many difficulties I encounter, I will definitely finish it!!

Interested readers can check out the new book, a different style, about a fantasy world and cosmic struggle, called "The Third Epoch of the Star Realm".

Finally, I apologize again!!
