Endless Wind Disaster, Stagnant Storm zones.

The vast, blue ocean-like area of Wind Disaster floated in the void of the Black Domain, slowly rotating and flowing autonomously.

Lin Hui floated to one side, quietly gazing at this extraordinary sight.

He wasn't observing in the normal dimension, but rather in a purely energy intensity observation dimension, to observe the entire Wind Disaster area.

All places where Wind Disaster and Disaster Energy are distributed will be revealed here.

"This must be the largest area affected by the Wind Disaster in the vicinity. What do you intend to do by inviting me here?" Mu Cheng Jiang asked.

"Senior Mu, with the Celestial Venerable's normal power, could the Supreme Rule intervene nine times and forcefully influence the Source Disaster?" Lin Hui asked.

"It can affect a part of them, but don't even think about the whole. In essence, the Source Disaster is on the same level as us, or even higher. Rules are the manifestation of power. The reason we were able to change the rules nine times is because of the power of the rank that we have merged with."

"Each individual possesses, naturally, an immense power encompassing all things," Mu Cheng Jiang said.

"I understand. The Source Disaster represents destruction, annihilation, Decay, and is a fundamental step in the Great Cycle. Different Source Disaster represent different destructive power attributes, but in fact, they are all of the same type." Lin Hui nodded.

"Yes, destruction is the highest level, just like creation. It is the foundation upon which all things are built. Once shaken, everything will disappear and cease to exist," Mu Cheng Jiang replied. "So, what do you intend to do?"

He could no longer fathom Lin Hui's current level, as the opponent was also surrounded by layers upon layers of immense power at the Heavenly Venerable level.

"I want to... take his place." The blue flames in Lin Hui's eyes burned intensely.

"Impossible!" Mu Cheng Jiang's expression changed slightly. "The Destruction Status has already been occupied. How can you seize the Source Disaster Rank?"

"What if this destruction isn't true destruction? In our eyes, the Source Disaster is destruction, but in reality, what are they doing?" Lin Hui countered.

Do you have a way to access more of the real world?

"Perhaps... I feel that's dangerous, but some things, you'll never know if you can do them unless you try," Lin Hui said.

"If you get into trouble again this time, nothing can stop you," Mu Cheng Jiang said, frowning.

"Is the Celestial Venerable truly the pinnacle?" Lin Hui asked with a smile. "I don't know why, but I always feel it isn't..."

Mu Cheng Jiang fell silent.

He couldn't persuade Lin Hui, nor could he understand the source of Lin Hui's confidence.

But Lin Hui knows now that it's not the right time for him to do this.

"Lately, I've gradually felt the Wind Disaster's rejection of me, and it might not be long before it joins in the attack. In that case, why don't I strike first?" Lin Hui explained.

"Let's do it," Mu Cheng Jiang suddenly said. "If we want to exist forever, isn't this also a way?"

Creating miracles can be remembered by all living beings forever, let alone a great feat like replacing Wind Disaster.

Even if he fails, countless people will remember him forever and record him in history.

This is far better than creating a technique that leaves behind a backup plan, like a heart attack.

Lin Hui smiled, no longer responding, but instead gazing at the turbulent area of Wind Disaster. His immense Wind Energy silently spread outwards.

After so many years of accumulation, his physical form is now comparable to that of this vast region.

Although the ratio of a huge lake to a small peanut is still the same, that's because the area affected by the Wind Disaster is so vast. In reality, Lin Hui's size is tens of thousands of times larger than he was a million years ago.

To be precise, at his level, Wind Energy would spontaneously and rapidly erode everything around him, and the speed would only increase.

"This will be an incredibly massive war," Mu Cheng Jiang said. "You'll need more help."

"It's alright, everything will be alright," Lin Hui said with a smile. "I would appreciate it if you could back me up, senior."

"Alright, you lend me a hand, I'll help you out." Mu Cheng Jiang nodded. A battle of this scale was indeed enough to offset the great favor of being resurrected.

Lin Hui nodded, and with a flash, handed the place over to Mu Cheng Jiang. He wasn't afraid of simple power erosion, but with countless powerful Fusionist attacking from within the Wind Disaster, a top-tier combatant would be needed to keep things under control.

Mu Cheng Jiang is just right.

But relying on him alone is far from enough. After all, if the Source Disaster were so easy to deal with, so many Celestial Venerables wouldn't have perished.

Therefore, Lin Hui made other preparations.

It's time for the Existence Force so many years to come in handy.

He instantly returned to Clear Jade Mountain and sat down cross-legged.

Since Propagation has True Status, destruction is also inevitable. The problem now is that the Celestial Venerable has already reached the pinnacle of cultivation, and there is no road ahead. If I want to continue, I can only create a path myself.

How to create? The only thing Lin Hui could think of was to move towards authenticity.

Since the Blood Seal can evolve with the goal of a concept, it must also be able to achieve the goal of Propagation persons.

Yes, this bold idea was something he had had before.

The essence of a Celestial Venerable is their rank and status. If Propagation rank and status isn't the strongest approach, then what about directly evolving it?

Can Blood Seal achieve this?

Now is the time to give it a try.

He had tried to identify it before, but he didn't see any evolutionary branches. But this time, he completely merged with the Celestial Venerable position. Theoretically, the Propagation position now truly belongs to him. In reality, the Blood Seal has always only been able to evolve things that are completely his.

Lin Hui identified the Propagation position and conducted direct Blood Seal identification.

Propagation Rank (Real): One of the conceptual ranks among all real things, capable of forcing all things to exhibit Propagation phenomena. Its Source Energy is Void Life.

Lin Hui had already identified all of these. He looked directly at the bottom, where the evolutionary branches were the ones he valued most.

It was zero before, but now...

"2!"

Lin Hui's eyes widened instantly.

Sure enough, it actually worked!

Even the conceptual level of a Celestial Venerable can evolve; just what is the origin of this Blood Seal!?

Lin Hui was shocked. At first, he thought the Blood Seal was created by the Heavenly Venerable, but now it seems that the origin of the Blood Seal is far stronger than he expected.

He immediately clicked on the evolution branch.

1- Adaptation (Reality): The essence of Propagation is the better survival and adaptation of the race, so its superior concept is adaptation. After evolution, it can permanently enhance its resistance to all forces by 99% (including Celestial Venerable level). It can adapt to all environments.

Force, matter—only the Great Annihilation and the massive, super-powerful onslaught can damage you.

Just looking at this line makes Lin Hui's scalp tingle. If he had been of such a rank before, he might not have been able to break through Chongli's defenses even if he stood still and let Chong Li hit him.

Let's look at the second one.

2--Proliferation (Real): A higher-level rank of Propagation, primarily controlling increase, belonging to one of the highest-level ranks. Due to its special attributes, after fusion, it can resist 90% of the erosion from the Forgotten Belt. It can make initial contact with the highest original objects and gain True Sight.

With just one glance, Lin Hui knew that this was the second item he wanted.

He didn't know what the real original was, but this could lead him to the most fundamental source of all things.

Both evolutions require 10,000 Myriad Stars Fruit. That's nothing for his stockpile.

Over the years, he has accumulated 60,000 Myriad Stars Fruit again.

Without hesitation, Lin Hui took out the Myriad Stars Fruit and began absorbing them in large quantities.

In the blink of an eye, ten thousand became empty.

His entire body also underwent abnormal changes.

Countless bumps and bulges began to grow wildly on his skin, constantly moving around.

This kind of evolution, which directly targets one's position, was something Lin Hui was experiencing for the first time.

Essentially, Celestial Venerables are users of the power of their rank. Once they perish, their rank becomes vacant, waiting for a new successor to take their place. Therefore, there are many Celestial Venerables, but the number of ranks remains the same.

But my True Status... seems to be completely and utterly merging my entire being into that dimension...

A moment later, the bulges disappeared, and Lin Hui became incredibly solid and clear.

There was no longer any sense of emptiness or etherealness.

His body was imprinted with his divine soul, as if he were constantly absorbing everything around him.

The evolution of the positional rank was complete, and there seemed to be no change on the surface. However, he did not stop, but continued to identify the new complex positional rank evolution.

"Profound Rank (True): A derived rank of Void Life power, one of the top ranks. Fusion grants resistance to Forgotten Belt and True Sight."

True Sight?

Lin Hui slowly opened his eyes, and a ball of wind Wind Energy condensed in his palm, which then floated upwards.

In an instant, countless colored rays of light appeared before his eyes, the light resembling a giant spherical net, with a blurry, transparent object at the center of the sphere.

original...

The moment Lin Hui saw the transparent object, a name inexplicably flashed through his mind.

Judging from the situation at this moment, Lin Hui instantly understood.

He saw those colorful rays of light pierce through him, through everything around him, and stretch out into the far distance.

They form layers of complex, closed, colorful networks.

And things exist within this colorful, three-dimensional network.

So that's how it is... These colored lines are the foundational space of countless dimensions.

Then Lin Hui also saw that countless things themselves floated and tumbled in the network of colored threads, but could only reveal a small part of their essence.

He suddenly realized that there wasn't just one original object, but rather that everything itself was an original object, only that in space and in all dimensions, only a very small part of it could be shown.

Even I myself should be part of the original.

Gazing at the reality before him, Lin Hui quickly noticed something else.

If that's the case, then what's besides the original object and the colored threads?

His gaze shifted, looking beyond the countless colored lines.

He couldn't help but get up, wanting to see where the colorful thread would extend.

But the crimson warning from the Blood Seal instantly suppressed the impulse in his heart.

Warning: The True Sight is influencing the subject's will. Will itself originates from the collective material energy and consciousness of the entire body, and is itself merely the original substance hidden behind distortion. Excessive focus on reality will cause the subject to completely lose temporality, transcend space, and revert to its most essential form—that is, to completely lose the self-will in its current state.

This prompt was like a bucket of cold water, instantly sobering Lin Hui from his impulsiveness.

He closed his eyes, and everything before him vanished. Everything returned to normal.

... True self-will... Since everything that makes me a product of the distortion of the original, then my current will must also be a distorted thing. Therefore, what exactly is the true self...?

reality...

Lin Hui had never before felt that reality could evoke such fear in him.

He was scared...

I'm afraid that everything I have is an illusion, that everything I pursue is an illusion, that everything I approve of, everything I know, and everything I'm certain of is just a reflection of reality.
