The Way of Limitless Unity reaching this stage was likewise a leap—and compared to after Devouring Heaven and Earth, it held the potential to go even further!
Even if Devouring Heaven and Earth consumed the entirety of Huaixu, it would still be interfered with by the other Huaixu Heavenly Daos in infinite parallel spacetime, then contaminated, reverted, and utterly diluted, becoming a kind of inert "power" that could never again possess its own consciousness... just like the endless inert devilish qi between heaven and earth.
But with "Limitless Unity," one could construct an "infinite ring" oneself, completely break away from Huaixu, and become a free existence—then, upon that foundation, use the methods of the Immortal Dao to merge with "all the boundless Huaixu heavens and earth across infinite parallel spacetime"... perhaps one could directly reach [Peak Dao Integration]!
But this path had a problem as well.
—How could one connect infinite versions of oneself?
Even if "boundless power" were used here, it would only be a potential infinite power, incapable of fully linking a complete infinite ring... To this day, every Lingxiao Heavenly Venerable in the Huaixu Realm had been stuck at this step.
Thus, They exhausted every effort to excavate and search for other new paths beyond the ultimate extreme, turning all these paths—whether they might succeed or not—into nourishment for Themselves, attempting to walk farther still.
Divine One Heavenly Venerable's "Blood Sea Dao" had initially been nothing more than an imitation of the "Way of Limitless Unity"—merging the blood seas of all living beings had merely been an experiment. The next step was to merge the selves of all worlds!
Though she later turned toward Devouring Heaven and Earth, the Divine One Cult Leader discovered that this path possessed a "shortcut."
