The Underground Palace slowly closed. Wang Xuan took one last look before turning and leaving.

The Dao Control Banner was left behind, and the arrangements continued to seal off the outer area of the Underground Palace.

When Wang Xuan returned to his Old Earth, all was quiet. The night was still deep, the stars and moon were soft, the streets were silent, and only he was strolling.

He passed by his three children's residences several times, and each time he stopped and looked outside, wondering whether he should go against their wishes.

Late at night, after Zhao Qinghan had fallen asleep, he would go to their bedsides and quietly look at them, wanting to take them away no matter what.

Now, he hesitated, wavered, and then he went to the three of them and their descendants. That night, Wang Xuan wandered between several cities like a homeless ghost.

Before dawn, Wang Ye, Wang Xin, and Wang Hui, supported by others, arrived anxiously and uneasily at Wang Xuan and Zhao Qinghan's residence.

Last night, they sensed something, regained their memory after waking up, and rushed over immediately without thinking of anything else.

Sure enough, they didn't see Zhao Qinghan, and they immediately felt weak all over, with tears welling up in their eyes.

Seeing Wang Xuan become incredibly young, they sensed something: was their father about to leave?

Wang Xuan used extraordinary methods to calm their intense emotional fluctuations and prevent damage to their mental health.

"Your mother did not die. Perhaps thousands of years later, perhaps millions of years or even longer... the next Mythological Era will reappear."

Wang Xuan said calmly, sitting there looking at his three children. Through their snow-white hair and aging faces, he saw behind them... the children in his memory. The three children were either lively and mischievous, chasing and playing, or sentimental and melancholic. From a young age, they were afraid of dying in front of their parents and older siblings, and were determined to research the elixir of immortality.

Three vibrant children, with lively faces, ran around in front of young Zhao Qinghan and him.

"When your lives come to an end, I will take you with me, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ye, Wang Xin, and Wang Hui saw the reluctance, regret, and heartache in Wang Xuan's eyes.

"Father, you said that after death there is nothing left, and the remaining thoughts will also dissipate. In fact, life ends in this way, which is very perfect. It comes from nothing and goes back to the beginning." Wang Xin said.

In the past, she had comforted Wang Xuan, saying that the depth and height of life should not be judged by immortality. When it was time to end, she faced it calmly, and the past in her heart was eternal, and she would always remember him.

Wang Xin added, "I'm also afraid. What if 'thought' is another form of life transformation? Does it mean someone is waiting for me, and if my thought doesn't appear for a long time, will they feel disappointed and helpless?"

Wang Ye and Wang Hui faced the impending end of their lives with equanimity, unafraid of death, accepting that what was meant to leave would leave.

Their partners, lacking the longevity inherited from the Wang Family, passed away years ago despite having been baptized and given Extend Life medicines.

Wang Xuan nodded silently and walked out of the house.

Outside, some people saw his face, and were astonished, puzzled, and then shocked. This was the young Wang Xuan.

King Earth Immortal is very special. Even though the Supernatural Finale 155 years ago and his contemporaries have all passed away, many people in later generations still know who he is and have searched for and seen photos of him when he was young.

When the news reached the outside world, whether it was New Star, Old Earth, or even deep space, all kinds of forces and organizations, large and small, were stunned after carefully comparing his photos from his youth.

At present, Wang Xuan, in his youthful state, is exactly the same as he was before the Supernatural Finale; there has been no change whatsoever.

Over the years, Wang Xuan has deliberately grown old alongside Zhao Qinghan. Some outsiders have misunderstood this, thinking that he too is slowly aging with the relentless passage of time.

Now, he has no white hair left, still a young man, and as he gazes intently at the flowerbed in the courtyard, the flower buds bloom in an instant.

On this day, Wang Xuan took the Mechanical Xiao to his parents' place. He was indeed preparing to leave, in addition to maximizing his cultivation level.

He also wanted to visit the Land of No Law.

On that day, Wang Ye, Wang Xin, Wang Hui, and their children watched Wang Xuan board the ship with Wang Zesheng and Jiang Yun, fearing it might be the last time they would see Wang Xuan.

In the years since Wang Zesheng and Jiang Yun returned, apart from a few descendants who know about them, no one else knows their identities, and the two have changed their appearances.

They remain as low-key as ever.

The universe is vast, and there are always some strange places that no one can explore. The "Land of No Law" is located in deep space, and it is very special.

"That's good too," Jiang Yun said, comforting Wang Xuan. Last night, they watched Wang Xuan go to outer space and learned what he had done.

They were people who had been through it all, and they could understand all his feelings. They had personally seen off his four children and their descendants.

Wang Xuan said, "I always think of them when they were learning to speak, their innocent and pure childhood. In my memory, they are frozen at the age when they needed my protection."

The Mechanical Xiao has also become quiet lately. It was Wang Ye, Wang Xin, and Wang Hui's childhood and teenage playmate. Watching them grow old makes it sad. The final moment is coming, and it is heartbroken.

In the real universe, there is a visible boundary between matter and spirit; entering from there leads to Land of No Law.

This is not Higher Mental World or other place that one needs to reach in the Great Realm of Carefree Journey, but a strange place found in the real universe.

The spaceship came to a stop, shrouded in mist ahead. Wang Xuan walked forward with his parents, the Mechanical Xiao following behind, as they traversed the thick fog.

There is a planet there, a celestial body on a spiritual level!

Further away, there are stars, but they are still material, which makes it all the more strange.

They flew, approaching the special planet with their physical bodies, and finally landed. They felt a slight sense of oppression. Wang Zesheng and Jiang Yun led him to the vicinity of the sea.

This planet seems to be connected to a special void. When you step from the land onto the ocean, all you see in all directions is a vast, boundless void, and your own laws disappear.

The Life Pool cried out, startled awake, and was practically trembling with fear. Even it was affected; although its flame of consciousness was still burning, it was too difficult to use the power of the rules. Had it been banished to the mortal realm?

Wang Xuan was also deeply surprised, as the rules of magic and other techniques were weakened infinitely and knocked to the ground.

He took a step back and found himself in a vast expanse of sky and sea. His extraordinary powers returned, and there was nothing unusual.

Life Pool desperately wanted to escape. He had thought he had been tricked, but now it seemed he had stumbled into a terrifying place.

It had heard of this place and knew where it was!

Among the treasures, there is a rumor about a nightmare land, which must be here!

As far as it knew, several treasures had fallen into this place and were almost melted down, with people intending to fuse them into one vessel.

When Wang Xuan stepped inside again, Life Pool resolutely refused to follow, hiding outside and refusing to take another step.

Jiang Yun said, "The Land of No Law has no rules. No matter how great your supernatural powers are, you will be crushed to the ground. But it is very suitable for 'bone grinding' and for extraordinary people to train themselves in this harsh environment."

Wang Zesheng explained that even in Land of No Law, there are special nodes where laws can be applied within a limited scope. If an enemy stands in such a place and one unknowingly walks towards them, it will be extremely dangerous.

"Long ago, in a special era, the Nurturing Life Furnace, the Human World, and the Carefree Boat were lost here and captured by someone, almost melting them together into one," Jiang Yun recounted some old stories.

When the topic of treasures came up, they reminded everyone once again that one cannot completely trust them, as more than one treasure had suddenly turned on its owner, killing the extraordinary person who carried it with them.

Some of those malevolent creatures have been destroyed, while others still exist in the world.

"Of course, they only ambush experts at the level of extraordinary people, probably for the sake of the form of the Dao-imperialized."

They emphasized that the Ascension Banner might be one of the remaining malevolent objects. It didn't matter in the past, but given Wang Xuan's growth, it seems to be the beginning stage of a prodigy. If his bones and skin were to Dao-imperialized in the future, he should be careful when encountering the Ascension Banner again and not treat it as a weapon that he can carry with him without worry.

The three people and the bear walked forward. Although it was called Land of No Law, the superhumans could still use some of their powers, but it was completely different from their normal state.

In the endless void, Wang Xuan saw some remains of skin, along with scalp and hair, and some bloodstains, which was quite gruesome.

"That was left behind by a remarkable person after his death," Jiang Yun told her.

In addition, other unique bone fragments remain, burning in the dim light of the fire.

That was the bone Dao-imperialized, existing through more than one Mythological Era in its self-disintegration.

Wang Xuan discovered six piles of "traces," including blood, skin, internal organs, and bones. Some of these were being blown away by a strange wind and were dissolving extremely slowly, while others were self-immolating.

Six extraordinary individuals died here, either through spiritual practice or due to accidents.

Of course, some people may come here intentionally to shed their skin and bones before leaving.

"This place is very similar to a place I saw years ago, also lawless and unruly, where supernatural powers are severed," Wang Xuan said, thinking of a place— the Cliff of Lost Dao.

Back then, when the supernatural was first destroyed, he accompanied a woman along a path and stepped onto the Cliff of Lost Dao.

"Dad, Mom, I'm leaving to enter the Supernatural Central World." Wang Xuan paused, spoke calmly, and put everything aside; he was about to embark on a long journey.

Wang Zesheng and Jiang Yun were mentally prepared, knowing that this day would come.

"Me too, Bear will come with you," the Mechanical Xiao hurriedly said.

Wang Xuan patted its head and said he would take it with him on the journey.

"Which path do you intend to take, one that will guide you through the past and present?" Wang Zesheng asked solemnly. Traveling across the universe was no trivial matter.

Wang Xuan shook his head. Getting involved with Gu Jin was far too dangerous. The main reason was that he was carrying a priceless treasure, which would be extremely lethal on the regional battlefield, and Gu Jin's powerful opponents would likely predict its effects.

Because, on two separate occasions, it mentioned that the enemy was too terrifying, which could lead to conclusions that would hinder the battle.

He carries a secret, the Dao Control Banner and the First Killing Array Diagram. If he Karma Entangled of the past and present when he crosses the universe, he may not be able to remain hidden and will be exposed as soon as he appears. He may not live long before he is killed.

When he becomes strong enough in the future to take action on the great battlefield, he will repay the debts owed to those who helped him in the past and present, taking away a group of friends.

Wang Zesheng and Jiang Yun nodded. They also did not approve of being guided by Gu Jin. The two, who were used to keeping a low profile, naturally did not want people to know about his first arrival in the Supernatural Universe.

However, other paths... have become extremely difficult and dangerous because times have changed and better opportunities have been missed; saying they are nine out of ten times dead is an understatement.
