In an instant, Li Er rapidly changed from a decrepit old man back into a middle-aged man.
He returned to youth.
He returned to boyhood.
Then, like the turning of the four seasons,
he changed from a boy back into a young man, then a middle-aged man, before settling once more into a white-haired, white-bearded old man, a candle flickering in the wind.
He held the Dragon-Subduing Staff, with the Heaven-Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda above his head and the Taiji Diagram beneath his feet. Yet in an instant, brilliant rays shot from his cloudy, hazy eyes.
Those gazes had already reached into countless planes and dimensions, looking into the seas of consciousness, minds, or eyes of countless incarnations of Laozi Li Er who were experiencing insights at that very moment.
It could be put this way.
At that moment, the incarnations of Grand Pure One Laozi Li Er across countless trillions upon trillions of planes and dimensions all sensed the opportunity for enlightenment grasped by the ecstatic Laozi Li Er, who was comprehending the Dao atop All-Heaven Divine Peak in this plane's Primordial World.
It could even be said that the countless branches of the Human Teaching touched by these incarnations of Laozi Li Er were enough to bring tremendous changes to Taishang, Taiqing, and Laozi through this projection.
These were the boundless vitality, boundless future, and boundless possibilities that Grand Pure One Laozi Li Er had established in this Primordial World plane, where he had originally possessed no foundation whatsoever.
It could be put this way.
At that moment, Laozi Li Er had already far surpassed the six progenitors of the Human Race.
He had also surpassed Cult Leader Tongtian, who had taken form from the Chaos Dao Scripture.
He had surpassed Nuwa and Fuxi, and Houtu as well.
