The end was also a new beginning

This was Futu Yun's first time being reborn in his Internal World, and he hadn't expected it to take so long.

When he was resurrected and returned to the Great Thousand World, the great war had already ended.

His son, Futu Xi, became the young patriarch of the Pagoda Ancient Clan. After all, Futu Xi was his and Qing Yanjing's child.

Considering Qing Yanjing's bloodline, Futu Xi's bloodline is even purer than Futu Yun's.

After all, Futu Yun himself wasn't even considered a branch of the Pagoda Ancient Clan.

Although Qing Yanjing was initially considered to have violated clan rules by giving birth to Futu Xi,

But she was, after all, the former goddess of the Pagoda Ancient Clan.

Moreover, after breaking through to the Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign, her strength truly surpassed that of Futu Xuan and Mandala.

Second only to the father-son duo of Futu Yun and Futu Xi.

And Futu Xi became the undisputed guardian deity of the Great Thousand World, his prestige even surpassing that of his father.

Who told Futu Yun to miss that decisive battle while paving the way for his son?

After annihilating the Extraterrestrial Evil Clan, Futu Xi used the World Power to purify the areas once occupied by the Extraterrestrial Evil Clan.

The opening up of such a vast new territory naturally triggered numerous conflicts of interest.

Various superpowers began competing with each other for more territory and resources.

However, Futu Xi did not intervene in these conflicts.

If there were truly no competition in the Great Thousand World, it would likely only decline in the end.

Moreover, the Great Thousand World today is dominated by the Pagoda Ancient Clan.

The Pagoda Ancient Clan is not the so-called "strongest force," but rather the true rulers of the Great Thousand World.

Just as the Pagoda Ancient Clan ruled the Futuo Continent, the Maha Ancient Clan ruled the Maha Continent, and the Western Heaven War Temple ruled the Western Heavens Continent.

After all, the original Firmament Ledger had been changed into the Pagoda Ledger by Futu Yun.

The only two people currently on the list are both from the Pagoda Ancient Clan.

Even if others want to add their names later, they will have to go through the Pagoda Ancient Clan.

For example, if Qing Yanjing wants to be on the list, he must first reach the Later Phase of the Saint Grade, and then change his name to Futu Qing.

This isn't just a casual change of title; it involves altering the surname under the witness of the Pagoda Ledger.

By changing her name, Qing Yanjing could become one of those listed.

If I can go one step further in my lifetime, I can write the word "Qing" on it.

Just like the "Yun" in Futu Yun and the "Xi" in Futu Xi.

Qing Yanjing herself possessed direct lineage from the Pagoda Ancient Clan, not to mention those from other forces.

To be included on the list, one must have a clear connection with the Pagoda Ancient Clan.

For example, Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan are both wives of Futu Yun.

If Futu Yun agrees, the two of them will have the surname "Futu" in addition to their surname.

Once you reach the Later Phase of the Saint Grade, you can directly become one of the top-ranked individuals, which is equivalent to Half-Step Ruler.

If we could go a step further, we could leave behind the characters "Luo" and "Wen".

These two characters are not their original surnames, but rather their given names, Futu Luo and Futu Wen.

Even though they are still called Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan, the Pagoda Ledger recognizes their surname as Floating Pagoda.

Besides, the path for other Later Phase of the Saint Grade has been blocked.

Even if others harbored resentment, they could only swallow it down.

Now that the Extraterrestrial Evil Clan no longer exist, it's only natural for the Pagoda Ancient Clan to protect their own interests.

After Futu Yun was resurrected and returned to the Great Thousand World, the influence of the Pagoda Ancient Clan reached even greater heights.

Especially considering that Futu Xi had challenged this father she had never met before.

In the Internal World, Futu Xi was merely the Son of Heaven, while Futu Yun was the "Heaven" within that Internal World.

He was originally chosen by his father to be Son of Heaven, so he couldn't possibly be an enemy of his father, neither morally nor logically.

But now that he has ascended to heaven and is no longer the Son of Heaven of his father's Internal World, he naturally wants to try it out.

As a result, he was badly beaten by Futu Yun.

They are both rulers. Although they seem to be only one step apart in terms of realm, the difference between them is actually worlds apart.

The so-called Dominator Realm is nothing more than those who can leave their True Name on the Firmament Ledger.

The Firmament Ledger has now been changed to the Pagoda Ledger, but in essence, there is no difference.

However, the Pagoda Ancient Clan naturally held an advantage in terms of surnames.

Originally, the surname "Futu" was generally reserved for the Grand Elder and the clan leader.

However, now within the Pagoda Ancient Clan, anyone who reaches the Saint Grade can change their surname to this.

Core members like Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan are no exception.

Once these people reach the Later Phase of the Saint Grade, they will automatically advance to the Half-Step Ruler Realm, but that's all they can do.

The path to breaking through to the Dominator Realm is no different from before.

Reaching the corresponding level allows one to leave a mark on the Pagoda Ledger.

Futu Yun is at this level, and so is Futu Xi.

However, the two are actually slightly different:

Futu Xi is merely a member of the Pagoda Ledger, while Futu Yun can be considered the master of the Pagoda Ledger.

He sacrificed himself to break through to the Unity Realm and renamed the Firmament Ledger to the Pagoda Ledger.

To be precise, Futu Xi was the first person to leave his name on the Pagoda Ledger.

Futu Yun is the master of the entire Pagoda Ledger.

When Futu Xi was the patriarch of the Pagoda Ancient Clan,

Various factions still have many grievances about the Pagoda Ancient Clan occupying the Pagoda Ledger.

But now that the owner of the Pagoda Ledger has appeared, these people naturally keep quiet.

The predecessor of the Pagoda Ledger, the Firmament Ledger, was originally an unclaimed object in the Great Thousand World.

But now the once ownerless Firmament Ledger has become the Pagoda Ledger of the Pagoda Ancient Clan.

That Great Thousand World naturally became the backyard of the Pagoda Ancient Clan.

"Father, aren't you coming back with us?" Futu Xi asked Futu Yun.

"I'm going to settle things once and for all." Futu Yun gazed into the depths of the Void.

Do you know where the Extraterrestrial Evil Clan comes from?

The Heavenly Evil God originated from the Tianyuan World.

After Zhou Yuan defeated the Saint God, he did not exterminate the fleeing Saint Clan, but chose to let them leave the battlefield.

But the Saint God had left a contingency plan before his defeat, condensing all his essence into a black egg.

The Saint Clan fled to the Great Thousand World with this black egg. After the black egg hatched, it became the Heavenly Evil God.

This also foreshadowed the great calamities that would later befall the Great Thousand World.

The Heavenly Evil God was able to survive and wreak havoc on the Great Thousand World was indeed due to Zhou Yuan's momentary act of mercy.

Although Zhou Yuan had foreseen that the Heavenly Evil God would ultimately be destroyed by the combined efforts of Xiao Yan, Lin Dong, Mu Chen,

That's why he didn't personally take action to wipe them out, leaving the Great Thousand World with a trial of "being born to face calamity".

But these words were best left unsaid; ultimately, it was none of Zhou Yuan's business, and he couldn't be bothered to pay them any attention.

Anyway, no matter how many people die in the Great Thousand World, it has nothing to do with the Tianyuan World.

For Zhou Yuan, the existence of the Saint Clan indeed had no impact on him.

However, the Great Thousand World had to pay the price of countless lives to resist the invasion of the Saint Clan, resulting in heavy casualties.

Although under the pressure of crisis, new powerful figures continue to emerge in this Great Thousand World.

They could unite against foreign invasion, but how could Futu Yun possibly accept all of this?

Since Zhou Yuan believed that keeping the Heavenly Evil God in the Great Thousand World was a trial "born to face calamity,"

Then Futu Yun could also give the Tianyuan World a trial of "being born to face calamity"!
