Chapter 49

Tai Ming had anticipated this long ago, but in the past, because the Netherworld was not prosperous enough, these small groups could not survive under the management of Tai Ming and the Heart of the Earthly Path.

Now, with the birth of the Netherworld Ghost Clan, Tai Ming realized that it was time to grant the beings of the Netherworld more **.

"As the Progenitor of the Ghost Dao and a Dao Opener, my breakthrough means that the Ghost Dao's limits have risen."

"Therefore, my main goal now is to increase my strength, while the Netherworld Ghost Clan is already capable of growing on its own."

Tai Ming retreated behind the scenes and became a symbolic presence most of the time.

The top overlords were the Grand Unity Ghost Gods, second only to Tai Ming. They formed the core around which an entirely new ecosystem was built.

Before anyone realized it, the Ghost Dao's destiny gradually grew stronger.

The Heart of the Earthly Path, acting as a witness, took in the entire scene.

The Heart of the Earthly Path deeply understood the birth and prosperity of the Ghost Dao. At times, it even felt more like a part of the Ghost Dao itself, and often sighed over this.

It hoped that when the inheritor of the Earthly Dao Lineage appeared in the future, it could help that inheritor develop the Earthly Dao Lineage to the same level of prosperity. However, it was confused about when exactly the inheritor would appear.

Yue Jianshi had never explicitly stated when the inheritor would be born. Moreover, the inheritors of the Earthly Dao Lineage, Heavenly Dao Lineage, and Human Dao Lineage were all difficult to find, leaving the many Grand Unity Venerable Gods of the Primordial World baffled.

All of this became temporarily unrelated to Tai Ming after the end of the Limitless Demon God.

Somewhere outside the walls of the Primordial World, there existed a secret grotto-heaven world attached to them—the Limitless Demon God Grotto-Heaven.

This place nurtured the power of the Great Dao Laws of the pure Limitless Great Dao.

After obtaining the Limitless Demon God's power, Tai Ming entered this grotto-heaven and discovered that the Limitless Great Dao within was constantly interweaving and evolving with the Primordial Great Dao, making the Limitless Great Dao more complete.

Nearly all the grotto-heavens of the Chaos Demon Gods were in this state.

Once the Primordial World completely digested the power of the laws evolved by these Chaos Demon Gods, its strength would become terrifyingly powerful—powerful enough to resist the resurrection of the Chaos Demon Gods.

To a certain extent, the Primordial World was like another invincible Pangu.

However, the current Primordial World was still a long way from reaching that stage.

Tai Ming had come to the Limitless Demon God Grotto-Heaven World to use the Limitless Great Dao Origin and the Primordial Chaos Creation Primordial Embryo to complete the gestation of a second incarnation of the Ghost Dao Origin.

The incarnation Tai Ming was nurturing resonated with the Limitless Great Dao and manifested as the Limitless Origin Transformation.

Through the Limitless aspect of the Ghost Dao, he excavated and developed his own power, reaching an initial state of selflessness.

He discovered that the Primordial Chaos Creation Primordial Embryo was better suited for the creation of gods and demons, so he decided to use it to nurture this incarnation.

Once completed, its power would not only rival that of the Chaos Demon Gods, but even surpass the native beings of the Primordial World.

Tai Ming lightly waved a finger. The Selfless Origin from the Ghost Dao Nine Transformations Origin and the Primordial Chaos Creation Primordial Embryo appeared. The two resonated and collided before fusing into one.

Through the Limitless Transformation, he gathered the power of his id, ego, and superego. With Triple Self Unity, he grasped space and time and became the sole existence throughout the myriad realms.

His figure was born from the profundity of the Six Treasuries Immortal Thief and merged with Heaven and Earth.

As the Primordial Chaos Creation Primordial Embryo was reborn, the power of the Limitless Demon God Grotto-Heaven continuously fused into it.

At that moment, a figure resembling Tai Ming began to take shape.

The level of this incarnation even surpassed Tai Ming's own Demon God Heart. It fused the Primordial Chaos Creation Primordial Embryo, the Limitless Great Dao Origin, the Limitless Demon God Grotto-Heaven, and the origin of the Ghost Dao's Limitless Transformation.

It could be said that before this incarnation had even emerged, it had already displayed the bearing of the Primordial World's greatest winner.

Many opportunities that countless Primordial Grand Unity experts found difficult to encounter had gathered here, making everyone look forward to how powerful it would be when it was truly born.

At the same time, new changes were taking place in the Primordial World.

With the upheaval in the Netherworld, the power of the Earthly Dao began to reveal itself at the dawn of the new era.

Although the New Generation had yet to realize it, the great powers of the Archaic Era had already sensed the great upheaval that was about to arrive.

It was as though the Primordial World, which had been peaceful for countless Yuan Hui, was about to unleash an even more terrifying storm.

This great transformation was unlike any previous war in the West. Its scale and impact were far greater.

Perhaps the protagonist of this era was about to reveal itself—the existence who inherited the essence of the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos from the Ancient Three Sovereigns might already be drawing near.

However, at this moment, almost no one had noticed what was happening in the Origin Land of the Virtual Primordial World.

A mysterious and sacred figure was condensing the power of the Virtual Great Dao there, as if shaping an entirely new world.

In a trance, the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws and billions of Postnatal Great Dao Laws merged and coexisted there, constantly giving birth to new power.

An invisible divine might spread through the void. Every being in the Virtual Primordial World could sense that powerful will.

The Grand Unity Venerable Gods immediately realized that the ruler of the Virtual Primordial World was breaking through to a higher realm.

Only then did they discover that this ruler was also a member of the New Generation—and had yet to break through to become a Grand Unity Venerable God.

Some sighed at the unfathomable might of the Great Dao. This Virtual Primordial World was enough to make one forget that its creator was a member of the New Generation.

The Great Dao had once bestowed the true name "Tai Xu," signifying that he coexisted with the Great Dao.

The Supreme Great Dao had high hopes for Tai Xu Divine. His imminent breakthrough to the Grand Unity Venerable God Realm in such a short time was astonishing.

Everyone wondered whether the breakthrough of Tai Xu Divine would bring new changes to the Virtual Primordial World.

Tai Xu Divine's identity was revealed to the New Generation for the first time. They were shocked to learn that the Virtual Primordial World had evolved from the Postnatal Great Dao of a member of the New Generation. The fact that he had created such a world without even breaking through to the Grand Unity Venerable God Realm was even more difficult for them to accept.

Those members of the New Generation who thought highly of themselves suffered a tremendous blow at that moment.

Before them, the so-called contest for the title of First Person Below Tai Yi now seemed utterly laughable.

The Son of God from the Divine Court was especially affected. This existence reputed to possess the perfect bloodline inherited from the Ancient Three Sovereigns seemed to have been seized by the throat, losing all his pride.

He had previously been smug after defeating Ancestor Minghe and the others, but now he was mortified.

In the end, that mysterious existence directly logged out of the Virtual Primordial World and would probably not appear again for some time.

The other beings merely smiled indifferently at this scene and accepted the fact.

They focused all their attention on observing the subtle changes in that supreme will within the Virtual Primordial World.

They yearned to witness what extraordinary changes the miraculous Virtual Great Dao would display after reaching the Grand Unity Realm. At the same time, they longed to see the true appearance of the ruler of the Virtual Primordial World—Tai Xu.

They had heard that Tai Xu had once been the companion-born divine being of Venerable Tai Ming, and that Venerable Tai Ming was publicly recognized by the top supreme experts of the various factions as the foremost member of the New Generation.

They sighed that Tai Xu and Tai Ming were both peerless monsters with extraordinary talent.

In merely a few dozen Yuan Hui, Tai Xu Divine had completed the Path of Grand Unity. Even the Grand Unity experts hidden in the shadows were left shocked and speechless.

Compared with them, their past cultivation seemed to have been completely wasted.

Fortunately, monsters like this were extremely rare in the Primordial World.

The New Generation was filled with awe and anticipation toward Tai Xu Divine. Countless members of the New Generation yearned to become a Grand Unity existence like Tai Xu.

Even possessing only one ten-thousandth of his talent, bloodline, aptitude, cultivation, and realm would have been enough to satisfy them.

Unknowingly, Tai Xu Divine became the object of admiration and devotion for many.

Some Primordial beings who had been frustrated in the real Primordial World even yearned to immerse themselves completely in the Virtual Primordial World and become one of its members.

Then, they discovered that this wish might actually come true.

It turned out that Tai Xu Divine had already completed his breakthrough.

At that moment, the Precelestial and Postnatal Great Dao Laws were perfectly fused by the power of the Virtual Great Dao. Above the virtual supreme Ninth Heaven, a god-demon figure resembling a young man gradually emerged.

After the breakthrough, Tai Xu Divine seemed to have grown somewhat. He had changed from his previous age of twelve or thirteen to sixteen or seventeen.

His Virtual Great Dao transformed all real Great Dao Laws into the unreal, turning them into the unique laws of the Virtual Primordial World.

This change allowed the beings of the Virtual Primordial World to begin comprehending laws. Once they brought the laws they comprehended back to the real Primordial World, those laws could likewise strengthen them.

Chapter XXX: The ** Nature of the Virtual Primordial World and Its Far-Reaching Impact

With Shen Ji's breakthrough, the Virtual Primordial World underwent unprecedented changes.

All the major factions—the Heavenly Dao Lineage, Earthly Dao Lineage, Human Dao Lineage, and Five Directions Divine Race—turned their attention to this virtual world.

First, an endless number of Great Dao Laws gathered into the Thirty-Six Layer Dao Sea, which any being could enter to comprehend.

This transformation provided the beings of the Primordial World with an entirely new path of cultivation and new opportunities to comprehend laws.

Second, the scope of the Virtual Primordial World expanded without limit. The ratio between time in the virtual world and time in the real Primordial World was adjusted to ten to one.

This meant that beings could experience far more in the virtual world while spending much less time.

Furthermore, previously unopened virtual regions, such as the Heavenly Realm and the Netherworld, gradually opened and gained the recognition of the various factions.

The opening of these new regions gave the beings of the Primordial World the chance to explore unknown worlds.

The boundary between the virtual and the real also became blurred.

Beings below the Grand Unity Realm could merge into the Virtual Primordial World and become true existences within it.

Unless a Grand Unity expert intervened, their existence in the virtual world would remain eternal and unchanging.

This transformation made the virtual world more than a simulated environment. It became a new world filled with life.

Finally, Shen Ji opened real teleportation gates. Beings below the Primordial Grand Unity Realm could pay a price to teleport across regions.

This function provided tremendous convenience to the beings of the Primordial World. Whether for cultivation, traveling, or visiting the domains of the various major factions in advance, everything became far easier.

These transformations had a far-reaching impact on the overall situation of the Primordial World.

Beings of the Primordial World who had previously been unable to leave their specific regions now had the opportunity to see the domains of the major factions.

The transformation of the Virtual Primordial World not only attracted the attention of the major factions, but also aroused tremendous interest throughout the Primordial World.

Overall, Shen Ji's breakthrough brought about a ** transformation in the Virtual Primordial World, and this transformation would profoundly affect the future of the entire Primordial World.

As different domains opened, the beings in the Virtual Primordial World gradually organized themselves.

Most beings had already returned to their respective virtual Primordial domains.

They yearned to verify whether the Virtual Primordial World was identical to the real Primordial World.

However, even more beings were still unaffiliated cultivators or members of clans and did not belong to any of the major factions.

Among them, some beings of the Primordial World chose to break through the limitations between reality and illusion and become true beings within the Virtual Primordial World.

They were astonished to discover that the Virtual Primordial World was almost identical to the real Primordial World.

If they had not known the truth, they might have thought they were still living in the real Primordial World.

For the time being, Shen Ji had only opened the passage into the Virtual Primordial World and had yet to open the return passage.

Next, the beings of the Virtual Primordial World began enthusiastically exploring its new functions.

For example, the miraculous Thirty-Six Layer Dao Sea seemed to have become the Heavenly Dao of the Virtual Primordial World. When virtual beings comprehended the Great Dao within it, the Dao Sea also continuously fused with their Dao rhymes, evolving into an even more powerful and genuine Ocean of the Great Dao.

Some knowledgeable Grand Unity Venerable Gods could clearly see that the Thirty-Six Layer Dao Sea was an evolution of Tai Xu Shen Ji's Grand Unity Dao Realm. The first ten layers were almost identical to a genuine Grand Unity Dao Realm.
