Everything Will Come to an End!

The heavens bled, and the great road wailed.

The gray-white light rain that tore through the sky poured down over the Black Sha Wasteland in the western part of the Dao Realm for seven days and seven nights.

The collapse of the Returning to Stillness Fruit position signifies that a celestial rule governing heaven and earth until death has completely changed hands.

The Nether River Dead Water stretching for thousands of miles, washes away the wreckage scattered across the land. Ten Dao Venerable deities stand at the edge of the void, surveying the world like gods and Gods and Devils.

The Nether Domain Dao Venerable's form became ethereal, and he opened his enormous maw, which blotted out the sky, leading the churning, deathly Dao Source into the abyss of the Nether Realm.

In the void, only a long, distant whisper echoed:

"The Dao Realm Returning to Stillness... and his name is hereby removed."

The flames of war have ceased, and the laws of heaven have been rebuilt.

This catastrophe that shook the Nine Realms finally ended with a complete victory for the Beast Realm and the Nether Realm.

Both imperial clans' pursuit of the Great Dao yielded no losses whatsoever.

The Spirit Realm's Myriad Spirits Imperial Clan retreated to their homeland, not only losing the Bailu Lingyuan, but also this Five-Foundation Extreme Realm seed into which the entire realm had poured its heart and soul.

Furthermore, the Dharma bodies of the two Dao Venerable, Fate Wielding and Reverse Life, were severely injured, rendering them powerless to contend with each other for a thousand years.

His painstakingly planned and meticulously crafted [Treasured Earth] position was completely transformed into a forbidden zone on the Earth Dao due to the hidden schemes laid by Peak Mountain Emperor Lord, and was ultimately taken over entirely by the Peak and Mountain Imperial Clan...

Meanwhile, the Dao Venerable, native to the Dao Realm Returning to Stillness, was annihilated in both body and spirit under the siege of ten Dao Venerables. His Death Dao Immortal Foundation and the Source of the Great Dao were all captured by the Nether River Imperial Clan.

The two emperors shared the spoils, but the story doesn't last more than a thousand years.

All the supreme beings in the heavens understood perfectly. The Nether River Emperor already possessed the three Death Dao Fruit [Nether Domain], [Deathly Fate], and [Yellow Springs], and now he had swallowed [Returning to Stillness].

Once the four fruits of the Path of Death are unified, ascending to the position of "Ancestor of the Path of Death" is a certainty; all that is needed is a thousand years to fully digest the essence of the Dao.

At that time, the Nether Realm will welcome a true master who wields the source of the Great Dao.

He dominates an entire realm, impervious to all laws!

Peak Mountain Emperor Lord originally held the three sacred positions of [Earth Virtue], [Xuan Tu], and [Return to Earth], and further absorbed [Treasured Earth], thus cultivating the four great Earth Dao powers in one body.

Although the Earth Dao still has [Gen Earth] that has not been collected, it has not yet achieved the perfect Dao Ancestor.

However, with the blessing of the four great fruits, his power far surpasses that of ordinary supreme beings in the heavens. He can even stand on equal footing with those Dao Ancestor who are not part of the Five Elements Yin Yang Dao and do not fall behind!

The pattern of the Nine Realms has undergone a sudden change.

All the major imperial clans of the Heaven Realm, the Human Realm, the Vast Realm, and the Mystic Realm fell silent.

In the past, the Nine Realms Heaven Realm and the Life Realm occupied the top positions due to their profound foundations; the Nether Realm, limited by its singular lineage and overly homogenous population, had always been ranked in the middle and lower ranks.

However, after this battle, the Nether Realm, wielding the power of the Great Perfection of the Death Dao, forcefully pushed the Spirit Realm off its pedestal and leaped into the top four of the Nine Realms!

One of them is: the Heaven Realm.

The second is: the Life Realm.

The third is the rising Beast Realm and the Nether Realm, and the two realms have already reached a consensus.

When the two join forces, even the Heaven Realm cannot truly subdue them.

The powerful figures from all sides secretly withdrew their forces, opening closed-door cultivation and locking formations at their strongholds throughout the Dao Realm, no longer daring to challenge the two emperors' prowess.

And as a fulfillment of the covenant.

Before their retreat, the Nether River Imperial Clan left behind an extremely profound legacy for the Beast Realm.

The Eternal Darkness Dao Venerable of the Nether Realm has completely relinquished his authority over the Great Dao, lifting the cultivation restrictions of the [Eternal Darkness] Dao on the Beast Realm.

Between the Nine Realms, the Dao of Darkness cultivation methods have always been monopolized by the Nether Realm. Any being from another realm who dares to tamper with the secret cultivation methods will be Nether River Death Incantation Dao of Darkness Immortal Foundation and have their life taken from afar.

Now that the ban has been lifted, from this day forward, all the billions of Demon Race in the Beast Realm, whether they follow the path of Barbarian Bone, Ultimate Force, or cultivate Sha Qi and raging fire, can legitimately comprehend the Dao of Darkness Immortal Foundation until they forge Spirit Transformation!

This is a blessing, an immense boon to the entire realm.

This is enough to ensure that, in the future tens of thousands of years, the Beast Realm will give birth to a large number of powerful demon immortals who also cultivate shadow killing techniques.

Thunder and lightning roar from beyond the heavens, while countless bones wither in the mortal world.

The grand plan of the top leadership has been finalized, but what has been put into practice is the division and assimilation of the vast territory.

The southern and western Dao Realm were torn apart by the Allied Forces, leaving behind vast, unclaimed plains and abandoned mines.

However, despite its strength, the Beast Realm faces an extremely awkward situation—a shortage of manpower.

Cultivators in the Beast Realm emphasize the refinement of bloodlines; the higher the rank of the ferocious beast, the fewer offspring it has.

Having conquered the entire Dao Realm, nearly a third of its territory, the elite forces directly under the Peak and Mountain Imperial Clan and the six great royal clans simply could not fill this vast, ocean-like land.

If a large force is stationed there for an extended period, it will not only be extremely costly, but it will also disperse the defensive forces of various tribes in the Beast Realm.

The decree of Peak Mountain Emperor Lord was quickly transmitted from the ancestral court:

The Great Migration.

The imperial clan issued a decree to select hundreds of millions of weak races, dependent tribes, and unruly demon Demon Race with insufficient resources from the Beast Realm.

They opened up a passage through the void and relocated them in large numbers to the newly occupied territories of the Dao Realm.

Let them spread and multiply in the fertile marshes and ruins of the Marsh Plains Dao Realm.

These weak races were already at the bottom of the Beast Realm, with cramped living spaces. Now that they had the opportunity to go to the Source of the Nine Paths to reproduce and thrive, they were all extremely grateful.

Countless beast hordes surged into the southern and western Dao Realm like a tidal wave, transforming into countless stakes across the mountains and plains in the most primitive and tenacious way, firmly nailing the will of the Beast Realm to the earth of the Dao Realm.

With the relocation of a large number of lower-class races, the Beast Realm's homeland was left with boundless spiritual mountains and rivers.

These ancestral territories, which originally belonged to the lower-level minor clans, were naturally taken over and annexed by the imperial clan and the six royal families.

The Giant Bear Clan, as one of the core forces in this fierce battle, naturally received an unimaginable amount of huge benefits.

The Beast Realm, the Northern Barbarian Bone Pass.

Inside the main hall, a throne of white bones hung high.

The Dao Venerable Body of the Ancestor Egu sat upright in the void, with the Ancestor Shanyue, Cang Wuji, and other Spirit Transformation elders standing on either side below, each with a ruddy complexion.

On the table were jade books and crystals representing the territory's maps.

"Chieftain, our Giant Bear Clan has had a smooth and successful annexation of our homeland this time."

The Ancestor Shanyue reported in a gruff voice, his expression filled with undisguised excitement. "The more than three hundred mixed-blood tribes that were originally attached to the area around the Barbarian Bone Mountain Range have all broken camp and moved to the Black Sha Wasteland and the edge of the Southern Marsh in the western part of the Dao Realm."

"The vast territory they vacated— the Black Water Mountain Range, the Nine Dao Spirit Mountain, Earthfire Mystic Sha Plains —will all be incorporated into our clan's territory!"

"Now, our territory, centered on the Giant Bear Ancestral Court, spans five hundred million li, and there is no longer any discordant voice; all belongs to the Giant Bear!"

"Not only that, they've also occupied a large territory in the Dao Realm."

"With the Li Bear Plains as its core, it continued to expand southward, having already carved out a vast plain and forest area spanning 120 million li, rich in water and grass, and brimming with Spiritual Qi."

"The territories of all parties are connected, which can serve as a core enclave for our clan within the Dao Realm."

The illusory figure of the Ancestor Egu on the throne nodded slightly.

"Good."

"Once territory is captured, it must be held. The Dao Realm is a place of great turmoil; although weaker clans may attempt to fill it, the various royal families will inevitably leave spies to guard it."

"Our clan has eight lineages, among which the Mountain and Azure lineages are the most powerful. One of you, Shan Yue and Cang Wuji, must be stationed at a strategic pass in the Dao Realm to deter villains."

"The selection of the remaining elders in the clan must also be decided."

As soon as the words were spoken, the gazes of everyone in the hall, seemingly casually, fell on a tall figure standing at the end of the table.

Shi Jian stood calmly with his hands clasped behind his back.

His white robes were spotless, and the vast thunderous intent within his body Three-Foundation Perfection, was completely contained within his bones. Only a faint, Qi Condensation emanated from him, making even the most experienced Nascent Spirit Transformation present dare not underestimate him in the slightest.

In the battle of the Black Sha Wasteland, Shi Jian not only escaped unscathed, but also destroyed several secret realms of the Death Giant Lizard, and even seized the alien Heavenly Thunder amidst the chaos of battle.

His ruthlessness and sharp insight have long been legendary among the clan's elite.

The Ancestor Shanyue coughed and looked at Shi Jian with gentle eyes:

"Shi Jian, you are now one of the pillars of our clan; the enclave of Li Bear Plains in the Dao Realm has excellent ley lines, and we have also seized a large amount of frontline war supplies. Does your Lightning Bear Line have any ideas about it?"

The atmosphere inside the hall momentarily froze.

Everyone knows that although the Dao Realm is dangerous, it is a piece of fat meat that has not been fully cultivated; by occupying a piece of land, a clan can obtain twice the resources to sustain itself.

However, the Dao Realm is also far from the Beast Realm's ancestral court, making it extremely difficult to seek help in case of any changes.

Shi Jian stepped forward, bowed, and spoke in a calm and unhurried manner:

"Thanks to the ancestor's favor."

Shi Jian believed that grasping both ends was the way to long-term success.
