The Law-Extinguishing Sun Principle merged into the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Spirits Domain!
Like a drop of ink falling into a pool, it swiftly vanished without a trace.
But!
In the unseen workings of the world, something changed—something fundamental.
"Principles,"
"Branches of principles..."
Understanding dawned on Jiang Ding.
Above celestial beings, what was a supreme being of the great worlds?
It was not a matter of how much magic power or divine sense one possessed, or whether one could move mountains, overturn seas, pluck stars, and seize moons... Those were merely outward signs of something deeper.
A supreme being was a living being who had followed a particular path to its utmost limit.
In the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm, a living being who had taken the Taiyin-Taiyang Sword Dao to its limit was a supreme being;
In the Heavenly Illusion Immortal Butterfly Clan, a living being who had taken the Heavenly Illusion Immortal Dao to its limit was a supreme being;
In the Spiritual Treasure Realm, one who took a particular branch of the Supreme Clarity Spiritual Treasure Dao to its limit was a supreme being of the Spiritual Treasure Realm—though for unknown reasons, this path seemed unable to lead to immortality...
There were so many supreme beings. Each had reached the limit of a particular path, and only then attained that status.
The term "supreme being" had always meant the highest: the pinnacle within a given domain.
No matter how powerful a living being was—even one capable of destroying the supreme beings of the Fallen Immortal Realm with a wave of a hand—they would not take offense at the term or think those beings unworthy of it. After all, in their respective strengths, those beings truly had reached the limit beneath the immortals of the boundless starry cosmos.
