Chapter 49

Tai Ming had long anticipated this, but in the past, due to the Netherworld's lack of prosperity, these small factions couldn't survive under his and the Heart of the Earthly Path's management.

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

"As the Progenitor of the Ghost Dao and a Dao Opener, my breakthrough raises the ceiling of the Ghost Dao."

"Thus, my primary goal now is to elevate my strength, while the Netherworld Ghost Clan can grow on their own."

Tai Ming retreated behind the scenes, becoming mostly a symbolic presence.

The top-tier overlords, Grand Unity Ghost Gods second only to Tai Ming, formed the core of a new ecosystem.

Unnoticed, the Ghost Dao's fortune gradually swelled.

The Heart of the Earthly Path, acting as a witness, took it all in.

It deeply understood the Ghost Dao's birth and rise, sometimes feeling more like a part of the Ghost Dao itself, and often sighed at this.

It hoped that when a successor of the Earthly Dao Lineage eventually appeared, it could help them develop the lineage to equal prosperity—but it was uncertain when that successor would emerge.

Yue Jianshi had not revealed when the successor would appear, and the successors of the Heavenly, Earthly, and Human Daos were all untraceable, baffling the many Grand Unity Venerable Gods of the Primordial World.

All of this, with the fall of the Limitless Demon God, was temporarily irrelevant to Tai Ming.

Beyond the barriers of the Primordial World, a hidden grotto-heaven clung to the world's walls—the Limitless Demon God Grotto-Heaven World.

Here, pure Limitless Great Dao laws were nurtured.

After acquiring the Limitless Demon God's power, Tai Ming entered this grotto-heaven and found the Limitless Great Dao there constantly intertwining and evolving with the Primordial Great Dao, perfecting the former.

Nearly all Chaos Demon God grotto-heavens were in this state.

Once the Primordial World fully absorbed the laws these Chaos Demon Gods had evolved, its power would become terrifying, even capable of resisting their revival.

In a sense, this Primordial World was like another invincible Pangu.

But for now, the Primordial World was still eons away from that step.

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

The incarnation Tai Ming nurtured resonated with the Limitless Great Dao, manifesting as the Limitless Origin Transformation.

Through the Limitless aspect of the Ghost Dao, he excavated and developed his own power, reaching a selfless primordial state.

He found that the Primordial Chaos Creation Primordial Embryo was better suited for divine-demon metamorphosis, so he decided to use it to gestate this incarnation.

Once complete, its power would not only rival a Chaos Demon God but surpass the native beings of the Primordial World.

Tai Ming lightly flicked his finger, and the Selfless Origin from the Ghost Dao Nine Transformations Origin appeared alongside the Primordial Chaos Creation Primordial Embryo. The two resonated, collided, and merged into one.

Leveraging the Limitless Transformation, he gathered the power of self, ego, and superego, achieving Triple Self Unity, mastering time and space, and becoming the sole existence across all realms.

His form was born from the essence of the Six Treasuries Immortal Thief, merging with heaven and earth.

As the Primordial Chaos Creation Primordial Embryo was re-gestated, the power of the Limitless Demon God Grotto-Heaven World continuously poured into it.

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

This incarnation's level surpassed even Tai Ming's own Demon God Heart, fusing the Primordial Chaos Creation Primordial Embryo, the Limitless Great Dao Origin, the Limitless Demon God Grotto-Heaven World, and the Limitless Transformation of the Ghost Dao Origin.

One could say this incarnation, before even being born, had already shown itself as a Primordial World victor.

Many opportunities that Primordial Grand Unity beings could scarcely encounter were gathered here, making its eventual birth eagerly anticipated.

Meanwhile, the Primordial World underwent new changes.

With the Netherworld's upheaval, the Power of the Earthly Dao began to show signs in the new era.

Though the New Generation hadn't noticed, the mighty beings of the Archaic Era sensed an impending great upheaval.

It was as if the Primordial World, calm for countless Yuan Hui, was about to unleash a far more terrifying storm.

This transformation differed from any previous great war in the West, far greater in scale and impact.

Perhaps the protagonist of this era was about to emerge—the one inheriting the essence of the Ancient Three Sovereigns' Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos might already be quietly approaching.

Yet, few noticed the Origin Land of the Virtual Primordial World.

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

It seemed the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws and billions of Postnatal Great Daos interwove and coexisted here, endlessly generating new power.

An intangible divine might spread through the void, and every being in the Virtual Primordial World could feel that overwhelming will.

Grand Unity Venerable God-level existences immediately realized that the master of the Virtual Primordial World was breaking through to a higher realm.

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

Some marveled at the unfathomable power of the Great Dao—such a Virtual Primordial World made one forget it was created by a New Generation being.

The Great Dao had bestowed the true name "Tai Xu,"

meaning he coexisted with the Dao.

The Supreme Great Dao held high hopes for this Tai Xu Divine, and his imminent breakthrough to Grand Unity Venerable God in such a short time was astonishing.

Everyone wondered whether, with Tai Xu Divine's breakthrough, the Virtual Primordial World would see new changes.

Tai Xu Divine's identity was unveiled for the first time among the New Generation. They were shocked to learn that the Virtual Primordial World was evolved from a Postnatal Great Dao by a New Generation being—and that he hadn't even broken through to Grand Unity Venerable God when creating such a world made it even harder to accept.

Those self-important New Generation members suffered a massive blow in that moment.

Before them, the so-called struggle for the top spot below Tai Yi seemed utterly laughable.

Especially the Son of God from the Divine Court, the one claiming to inherit the flawless bloodline of the Ancient Three Sovereigns, now felt as if his throat had been gripped, all his pride stripped away.

He had previously gloated over defeating Old Ancestor Nether River and others, but now he was utterly humiliated.

In the end, that mysterious figure directly logged off from the Virtual Primordial World and likely wouldn't reappear for some time.

At this scene, other beings merely smiled faintly and accepted the reality.

They focused intently on the subtle shifts of that supreme will within the Virtual Primordial World.

They yearned to witness what transcendent changes the miraculous Virtual Great Dao would display after reaching the Grand Unity realm, while also craving a glimpse of the true face of the Virtual Primordial World's ruler—Tai Xu.

Rumor had it that Tai Xu was once the companion divine of Venerable Tai Ming, and Venerable Tai Ming was recognized by the Top Supreme Experts of all major forces as the foremost of the New Generation.

They sighed, saying that both Tai Xu and Tai Ming were monstrous prodigies of extraordinary talent.

In just a few dozen Yuan Hui, Tai Xu Divine had traversed the Path of Grand Unity, leaving even the hidden Grand Unity experts stunned into silence.

Compared to them, all past cultivation seemed wasted.

Fortunately, such monsters were exceedingly rare in the Primordial World.

The New Generation was filled with awe and anticipation for Tai Xu Divine, with countless members aspiring to become a Grand Unity like him.

Even if they could attain only a ten-thousandth of his talent, foundation, aptitude, and cultivation realm, it would be enough to satisfy them.

Unconsciously, Tai Xu Divine became an object of admiration and emulation for many.

Some Primordial Beings who had found no success in the real Primordial World even longed to fully immerse themselves in the Virtual Primordial World and become part of it.

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

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

At that moment, the innate and acquired Great Dao Laws were perfectly fused by the power of the Virtual Great Dao. Above the supreme nine heavens, the figure of a God or Devil resembling a youth gradually materialized.

After his breakthrough, Tai Xu Divine seemed to have grown a bit more, shifting from the appearance of a twelve- or thirteen-year-old to a sixteen- or seventeen-year-old.

His Virtual Great Dao turned all real Great Dao Laws into illusions, becoming the unique law power of the Virtual Primordial World.

This change allowed the beings of the Virtual Primordial World to begin comprehending laws, and the laws they grasped could also enhance their strength when brought back to the real Primordial World.

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

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

All major forces—whether the Heavenly Dao Lineage, Earthly Dao Lineage, Human Dao Lineage, or the Five Directions Divine Race—focused their attention on this virtual world.

First, endless Great Dao Laws converged into the Thirty-Six Layer Dao Sea, allowing any being to enter and comprehend them.

This transformation provided Primordial Beings with a new path for cultivation and opportunities to grasp laws.

Second, the scope of the Virtual Primordial World expanded infinitely, with the time ratio between the virtual world and the real Primordial World adjusted to ten to one.

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

Furthermore, previously unopened virtual regions like the Heavenly Realm and the Netherworld gradually became accessible, gaining recognition from various forces.

The opening of these new areas offered Primordial Beings the chance to explore unknown worlds.

The boundary between virtual and reality also grew blurred.

Beings below the Grand Unity level could merge into the Virtual Primordial World, becoming real existences within it.

Unless a Grand Unity intervened, their presence in the virtual world would remain eternal.

This change turned the virtual world from a mere simulation into a vibrant new realm.

Finally, Shen Ji opened real teleportation gates, allowing Primordial Beings below Grand Unity to pay a price for cross-region travel.

This function provided immense convenience for Primordial Beings, making cultivation, travel, and even previewing the domains of major forces far easier.

These transformations had a profound impact on the overall situation of the Primordial World.

Primordial Beings who previously couldn't leave their specific regions now had the chance to witness the domains of major powers.

The changes in the Virtual Primordial World not only drew the attention of all major forces but also sparked great interest among all Primordial Beings.

In summary, Shen Ji's breakthrough brought about a **-level transformation of the Virtual Primordial World, one that would deeply shape the future of the entire Primordial World.

With the opening of different domains, the beings in the Virtual Primordial World gradually organized themselves.

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

They were eager to verify whether the Virtual Primordial World was identical to the real one.

However, many more beings remained as independent cultivators or clans, unaffiliated with any major force.

Among them, some Primordial Beings chose to break through the limits of reality and illusion, becoming real beings within the Virtual Primordial World.

They were astonished to find that the Virtual Primordial World was nearly indistinguishable from the real one.

If not for their awareness, they might have mistakenly believed they were still living in the true Primordial World.

For now, Shen Ji had only opened the entrance channel to the Virtual Primordial World, not the return channel.

Subsequently, the beings of the Virtual Primordial World eagerly began exploring its new features.

For instance, the miraculous Thirty-Six Layer Dao Sea seemed to act as the Heavenly Dao of the Virtual Primordial World. As virtual beings comprehended the Great Dao within it, the Dao Sea continuously integrated their Dao rhythms, evolving into an even more powerful and authentic Ocean of the Great Dao.

Some knowledgeable Grand Unity Venerable Gods could clearly see that this Thirty-Six Layer Dao Sea was an evolution of Tai Xu Shen Ji's Grand Unity Dao Realm, with the first ten layers nearly identical to a real Grand Unity Dao Realm.
