"Hm? My future timelines are slowly converging?"

After cutting off his Future Body, Lei Jun noticed something.

That's right!

They were converging!

The future could indeed hold many possibilities.

Even with a goal set, reaching it wasn't guaranteed.

If he failed to reach it, did that mean there could be no future?

Of course not.

Failed to meet the goal?

No problem!

He could simply cut off the path that failed!

If he failed, he could start again from his Present Body and cut off the failed Past Body!

That way,

there would be one fewer possibility.

Over and over,

the failed timelines would grow fewer and fewer, while the chances of future success would increase.

This process was the convergence of timelines.

Infinite future timelines gradually converged toward a single future!

Until...

The goal was achieved!!

This was the Future Body Lei Jun had cut off!

On a star,

Lei Jun couldn't help but exclaim.

"This is basically a save file! No matter how many times I fail in the future, it doesn't matter. If I fail, I can just start over!"

"No!"

"This is even more outrageous than reloading a save!"

Reloading a save only took you back to the beginning. You might still fail in the future, but the Future Body could keep trying until it completed its goal!

"That's ridiculously unfair!"

"Hahaha!"

Lei Jun couldn't help laughing.

Clearly, he was very fond of this method.

Then,

Lei Jun used his Divine Sense to examine himself.

He saw that within his Purple Mansion,

there was a mass of energy resembling a human silhouette, sitting cross-legged in his dantian.

Its appearance was extremely indistinct, wavering and illusory, as if it weren't in this space-time.

This was Lei Jun's Future Body!

Withdrew his thoughts, Lei Jun rose to his feet and murmured,

"Now that the Three Lifetimes Body has taken shape, two of my dantians have been filled."

"Now I'm only missing one top-grade Innate Spirit Root to achieve complete perfection!"

That raised the question:

Where could he find a top-grade Innate Spirit Root?

It was one of the highest-grade Spirit Roots in the Primordial Wilderness. You could count them on your fingers.

Besides, Lei Jun already had two.

Finding a third would be no easy task.

Lei Jun shook his head.

Then he brought out the World-Destroying Compass and calculated with his fingers. To his surprise, it warned him of three different directions.

Clearly, there were actually three top-grade Innate Spirit Roots in the Myriad Heavens Star Sea!

"According to my calculations, the Solar Fusang and Lunar Osmanthus are definitely top-grade Innate Spirit Roots. What could the third one be?"

Lei Jun thought it over, then chose the nearest direction and flew off.

In the blink of an eye,

several million years passed.

After pushing himself to travel as fast as he could, Lei Jun finally reached the first destination.

The Solar Star!

And then...

Lei Jun furrowed his brow.

The Solar Star was an embodiment of supreme yang!

Like heavenly lightning, it could purify baleful energy.

Especially now, at the dawn of the world, the Solar Star was incredibly volatile. Entering it would be no easy feat.

For a time,

Lei Jun was at a loss.

"Did I come too early?"

"Then..."

"I'll come back later!"

Whoosh!

In the end, Lei Jun shot into the starry sky without a trace of hesitation.

This time, a faint premonition stirred in his heart.

He felt that he would definitely gain something from this trip!

"Purple Emperor Star! What kind of Innate Spirit Root will I find there?"

Lei Jun gazed at the star before him, many times larger than the Solar Star, and felt a stir in his heart.

This star had formed from Great God Pangu's dantian. It was the emperor among the stars, ruling over countless others!

But to be honest, he really didn't know which top-grade Innate Spirit Root grew on the Purple Emperor Star.

As before, he first spread his Divine Sense across the entire star, then searched for the Spirit Root's location.

But who could have guessed that the moment Lei Jun released his Divine Sense, he immediately sensed a consciousness actively guiding him.

What was going on?

Lei Jun paused in surprise.

Then, with a thought, he followed the guidance.

He knew the Spirit Root on the Purple Emperor Star was reaching out to him of its own accord.

Lei Jun wasn't afraid of it.

In the entire Primordial Wilderness, apart from Shen Ni, there truly wasn't anyone he feared!

As it turned out, Lei Jun had overthought things.

There was no trap.

There really was a top-grade Innate Spirit Root.

Its branches gleamed like a sea of stars, and its fruits shone like star systems. Its leaves stretched across the river of stars, vast and magnificent.

"This is... the Zhou Tian Starry Sky Ancient Tree!"

Lei Jun cried out in shock.

This tree existed only in legend. It was said to bloom once every hundred Eons, bear fruit after another hundred Eons, and ripen those fruits after yet another hundred Eons.

Its most important function was to help worlds ascend to a higher dimension!

"Hahaha, finding this ancient tree is truly heaven's will!"

Lei Jun was overjoyed.

He had chosen the path of world cultivation, and these Star Fruits could help his Small World ascend to a higher dimension!

However,

the Ancient Star Tree was in terrible condition. Its fruits were gone, and baleful energy had even eaten into its trunk. If left alone, it would surely wither away.

Fortunately, Lei Jun had arrived in time. The ancient tree still retained its rank.

Whoosh!

With a thought, Lei Jun directly drew the tree into his Purple Mansion!

The moment it entered his Purple Mansion, Lei Jun felt the ancient tree seem to cheer. Green shoots sprouted from its corroded trunk, and it was suddenly brimming with life.

Step!

Lei Jun's Future Body stepped forward onto the trunk and sat down cross-legged.

This meant that Lei Jun's Three Lifetimes Body had finally achieved complete perfection.

"Next, I just need to build up my cultivation and break through!"

Lei Jun sat down cross-legged as well.

He planned to remain on the Purple Emperor Star, comprehend his own Dao, and break through.

Whoosh!

The Small World within him unfurled, enveloping the Purple Emperor Star.

Lei Jun sank completely into his cultivation!

In the blink of an eye,

fifty Eons passed,

and the land of the Primordial Wilderness was still saturated with baleful energy.

The Fierce Beast Race ruled supreme, growing ever more frenzied.

Seven hundred Eons passed.

At last, the Primordial Wilderness began to change.

Heaven and earth grew increasingly stable, and the Heavenly Dao seemed close to emerging.

As a result, the Fierce Beasts grew even more violent, and the baleful energy erupted into complete chaos.

It was like the end of the world,

Countless ages rushed by, and time flowed on.

Since new signs had appeared in the Primordial Wilderness seven hundred years ago,

the Fierce Beast Race had grown increasingly frenzied.

All the great powers sensed it.

It seemed that some Supreme Existence was about to emerge from the depths of the unknown.

Whoosh!

On this day,

a streak of purple light split the sky, illuminating the entire Primordial Wilderness.

At the same time,

in the starry sea at the edge of heaven, a great star radiated dazzling purple light, like a beacon in the night. It shone more brightly than the Solar Star and the Lunar Star.

Wherever the purple light passed, baleful energy dissolved and countless Fierce Beasts vanished. Heaven and earth regained a clarity they had never known before.

At that moment,

Lei Jun finally broke through to a new realm and underwent a transformation!

He rose to the heavens in a single leap, like a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate!

This was the realm of a Primal Chaos Saint!

After the breakthrough,

Lei Jun underwent a transformation from within to without!

He examined himself.

His blood essence was purple-gold, precious as a rare treasure; his meridians were translucent as fine jade; his bones gleamed like lapis lazuli.

This was a flawless Dao Body!

His cultivation had reached Lesser Success!

Compared with how he had been before the breakthrough, he had changed beyond recognition.

Every acupoint in his body had ascended to a Limitless Great Thousand.

Each contained countless Great Thousand Worlds!

The nearly infinite particles throughout his body had all ascended to Small Worlds!

Not only that,

even his magic power had changed!

Having entered the realm of a Primal Chaos Saint,

Lei Jun's aura flowed on and on, like the Nine Heavens River Water, surging without end and with no known source.

It would never run dry!

Even the scale of his power had changed. A divine ability or spell that had once required a hundred wisps of power now took less than one!

And that was precisely because...

Before the breakthrough.

Only then did Ziwei Star, enveloped in Lei Jun's boundless magical power, suddenly light up.

After a thousand Eons of seclusion on Ziwei Star, wasn't Ziwei Star itself, along with Lei Jun, one of the things that had changed?

At that moment,

this place seemed almost like Lei Jun's dojo!

With a thought, Lei Jun merged his divine ability into the radiance of his magical power.

In an instant,

Ziwei Star's light actually outshone the Sun and Moon, the two Main Stars.

It illuminated the Primordial Wilderness!

This light contained the laws of Lei Jun's Lightning Dao.

The Dao of Lightning had the power to purify evil, and after radiating across the Primordial Wilderness, the light possessed the same might.

And so,

the Fierce Beasts and baleful qi between heaven and earth were like snow and ice,

reduced to ash beneath its radiance!

So much so that, in an instant, the world of the Primordial Wilderness became a little clearer as a whole!

This showed just how terrifying the divine ability was!

With a single thought,

Lei Jun had comprehended this divine ability!

For now, he would name it...

"Purification Divine Light?"
