Just one glance.
The presence around Zhou Yuan, which had originally moved calmly and evenly, pressing uniformly upon every living being and every world, suddenly erupted.
It struck directly at the minds and souls of all those who dared use their methods to peer into his origin.
Whether they were Heavenly Venerables or Great Emperors, Divine Emperors or Supremacies.
Faced with this overwhelming force that spread across the heavens, none of them could endure it.
In an instant, who knew how many great powers felt as though catastrophe was bearing down upon them.
"What kind of existence is this?"
"Could this be the ultimate manifestation of the Great Dao? Otherwise, how could it be so terrifying?!"
"An inconceivable existence! This is not a life-form that could be born between heaven and earth. He is a horror that transcends the world itself!!!"
Countless divine thoughts, whether filled with amazement or shock, continuously spread out and were sensed by Zhou Yuan.
Sensing the awe of all living beings, Zhou Yuan was slightly surprised.
But when he looked back upon himself, he understood why the countless great powers across the heavens had reacted to him this way.
To put it plainly, the bead Zhou Yuan controlled—the one that controlled all transmigrators—was equivalent to possessing authority beyond measure.
Usually, while he was in the Primordial World and limited by his true body's cultivation, the might of this authority and status did not reveal itself.
But now that Zhou Yuan's mind had merged with the bead, it was almost as though he was appearing before others through the bead.
The bead's essence was his essence.
Thus, saying that he stood on equal footing with the Dao was not an exaggeration.
This Dao
was not the Heavenly Dao.
It was the Great Dao.
The Great Dao was the ultimate principle running through infinite worlds.
The Heavenly Dao, meanwhile, was merely the laws of a single universe.
Compared to one another, which was higher and which was lower was obvious at a glance.
With Zhou Yuan now carrying such an essence, was it not perfectly reasonable for those beings to suffer a bit of backlash when they tried to pry into him?

Luoyang.
The name Divine Capital was not bestowed casually.
It had undergone the painstaking construction of the human race over countless ages and had long become the sturdiest city.
The array formations and runes engraved upon it were countless.
Thus, once the city's grand protective formation was activated, all demonic clouds and chilling winds were blocked outside.
However.
The formation's power was indeed boundlessly formidable.
Yet it still required people to operate it.
And such operation was an enormous burden for every living being.
Great powers could still endure it.
But humans with slightly lower cultivation simply could not bear it.
The demon race had not been attacking the human race for merely a day or two.
By now, they naturally knew how to break the Divine Capital's formation.
So at this moment, they gave the human race no chance to catch its breath.
They swarmed forward all at once.
Under the simultaneous siege from all directions, the formation itself might not yet have had any problems, but the human cultivators defending it had already begun to suffer casualties.
"Damn it! Divine Capital lies at the core of human territory. Under normal circumstances, the demon race is bound by the Saints and cannot freely cross the borders to come here."
In the past, demon attacks had only reached the outer borders.
Yet now, they had discarded their former habits and charged directly at Divine Capital Luoyang. What did that mean?
Watching the demon race surge forward without end, the human elders could think of only one possibility.
That was—
At this moment, some unknown change must have occurred in the Primordial World.
It had driven the demon race to disregard the unspoken restraints of the Saints and forcibly attempt to breach Divine Capital Luoyang—
What a joke.
The demon race was inherently cruel. Once they conquered a human city, they would never spare the humans within.
And once Luoyang, the core region of the human race, was breached,
the Saints would never stand by and ignore it.
Therefore, unless it was truly necessary, Di Jun and Tai Yi could not possibly be foolish enough to make such a huge matter of it.
This was dangerous!
Watching the demon race charge forward one after another while the formation's defense grew increasingly difficult, even beginning to totter, everyone's expressions changed drastically.
"We cannot sit here and wait for death. Charge out and fight them to the death!"
"Staying inside will accomplish nothing. We should charge out and kill them. We can delay them for however long we can."
"Use our flesh and blood as bait. The more demons that surround us, the less pressure Divine Capital will face. Only by holding on until Huoyun Cave sends reinforcements can this crisis be resolved!"
In just a few words, many high-ranking human cultivators standing atop the city walls had made their decision.
It was a decision of self-sacrifice.
Ordinary beings cherished life and avoided death.
Cultivators, who lived long lives, were even more so.
Yet now, the human race was rushing to embrace death.
Such courage would be impossible to find among other races.
It was also through the sacrifices of countless righteous people that the human race had managed to survive, multiply, and gradually grow stronger amid such hardship.
However.
Before they could truly put their decision into action,
they suddenly felt an incomparably powerful aura spread out from within Divine Capital.
Then came a furious roar:
"Yi Zi of the human race invites the demon race invading Divine Capital to meet their deaths!!!"
The First Houtian Human Da Luo Since Time Immemorial!
"Yi Zi of the human race invites the demon race invading Divine Capital to meet their deaths!!!"
The furious roar shook the world.
At this moment, the first transmigrator Zhou Yuan had summoned back
was actually Yi Zi, who had attained the Other Shore in the Yangzun World!
Yi Zi did not appear to be a transmigrator.
Yet Zhou Yuan could summon him here now.
It seemed somewhat unreasonable.
But reality was not so.
In truth, whether someone was a transmigrator did not depend on their memories.
For some worlds possessed formidable barriers.
After living beings from the Ancestral Star entered them, they would forget all their memories.
But even so,
because of the bead in Zhou Yuan's hand that could control transmigrations throughout the heavens,
the fundamental imprint of Ancestral Star beings would not be distorted as a result.
Therefore, once Zhou Yuan issued his summons, they would naturally respond and return.
However, although the World-Breaking Bead possessed the authority to summon back transmigrators from the heavens,
it also had a restriction.
That was, after transmigrators from the Heavens and Myriad Worlds received Zhou Yuan's command, they could not all return instantaneously at the same time.
Rather, the more powerful their cultivation, the slower their return would be.
This was mainly due to the limitations of the worlds.
