The Nature of a Great Sage

Just as Xingtian was frantically improving his Principle of Battle...

The examination of the Great Sage of Longevity by this Original Self is gradually coming to an end.

As the data obtained from the Great Sage's body became more and more detailed, the people of the Mother Planet gained a more and more thorough understanding of Great Sage.

Just like what Feng Jiu said to Xingtian.

The limit of tolerance this universe has for cultivators is the Supreme Powerhouse.

There are only two ways to break through.

One is to break through the universe, which is often referred to as transcendence.

But how difficult it is to transcend!

Compared to the universe, even the Supreme Powerhouse are nothing more than ants.

The condition for transcendence is the ability to defy the entire universe.

This is undoubtedly a pipe dream for Supreme Powerhouse.

As for the second method, it is the so-called Great Sage.

In a sense, the Great Sage is actually an existence that has broken through the ultimate limit of Supreme Powerhouse.

However, in Original Self opinion, becoming Great Sage is a very clever way to achieve this.

Because in essence, the Great Sage is no different from the Supreme Powerhouse.

In theory, the same physical strength, the same Divine Sense strength, the same energy strength, and even the Power of Principle comprehended are exactly the same.

The Original Self even boldly speculated that some Supreme Powerhouse might have a greater understanding of the Principle than the Great Sage.

However, in terms of strength, the two are worlds apart.

Even if ten thousand Supreme Powerhouse attacked simultaneously, they wouldn't be able to harm the Great Sage in the slightest.

This has puzzled Original Self for a long time.

Because data doesn't lie.

Statistically speaking, the difference between the Supreme Powerhouse and the Great Sage will not cause a qualitative change.

But the facts are there for all to see, leaving no Original Self for doubt.

To investigate the reasons behind this, the Original Self even secretly made several changes to the test items.

Some of the changes even caused the Great Sage of Longevity to feel resistant.

Fortunately, the Original Self did a good job of appeasing him; otherwise, the Great Sage of Longevity might have really stormed off.

Ultimately, after numerous verifications, coupled with some reasonable deductions from the Original Self, the results were confirmed.

He finally reached some conclusions about the special nature of the Great Sage.

The data doesn't lie; just like the previous conclusion, the difference between the Great Sage and the Supreme Powerhouse is indeed not that great.

The reason why their performances are so different lies in the word "integration"!

Merge with the universe!

In other words, as the saying goes, if you can't defeat them, then join them.

The Great Sage is such a being.

Since transcendence is hopeless, then let us become compatible with the universe and become a part of it.

Upon merging with the universe, the Supreme Powerhouse will directly transform into Great Sage.

This transformation has nothing to do with strength.

Rather, it is a recognition, a recognition by the universe.

If we compare the universe to a human body, then the organisms within it are like viruses within that body.

Under normal circumstances, as long as these viruses do not harm the universe, the universe will not pay attention to them.

However, as these viruses become more powerful, the damage they cause to the universe will also increase.

One day it will pose a deadly threat to the universe.

Thus, the universe imposed limitations on the power of living beings.

This is what's known as the ceiling of combat power— the Supreme Powerhouse!

The universe must ensure a limit to the power of these viruses in order to guarantee its own safety.

However, millions of years ago, ten different kinds of viruses emerged from among these viruses.

These beings discovered the Pillar of Creation, and even more so, the Initial Space within them.

He then underwent a transformation in the Initial Space and became the Great Sage.

Although the specific process is unclear, it is evident that these ten Great Sages have shed their status as viruses and become part of the universe.

The universe will naturally grant certain privileges to its own people.

And that's how we came to see everything we see today.

Although his physical stats were identical to those of the Supreme Powerhouse, the Great Sage's displayed strength far surpassed that of the Supreme Powerhouse.

To put it bluntly, the Great Sage is the so-called chosen one of the planes, the favorite son of the universe!

However, the Original Self actually has another guess about the Great Sage.

In his view, the appearance of the Great Sage was not accidental.

It may be the will of the universe that did this intentionally.

On one hand, it uses the power of the Great Sage to manage all living things in the universe.

On the other hand, it might also be to use the Great Sage to bind all things.

Even though the possibility of transcendence is almost zero, the will of the universe still intends to use the Great Sage to completely reduce that number to zero.

As their understanding of the Great Sage deepened, under the guidance of the Original Self, the people of the Mother Planet finally began to treat the Great Sage.

Having learned about the Great Sage's condition, the Original Self realized that their original treatment plan had to be completely overturned.

After all, the Great Sage has become one with the universe, so even the Supreme Powerhouse and effective treatments are useless against him.

To achieve a cure, one must break free from traditional biological concepts.

This undoubtedly makes treatment even more difficult.

No wonder, even the Great Sage of Longevity himself said that it would take more than ten million years to heal himself.

This is where the necessity of the previous endless inspections became apparent.

Supported by that data, the treatment, though progressing slowly, has finally begun steadily.

Furthermore, the Original Self also enabled the Great Sage of Longevity to summon the Echo of Life.

Because in the process of understanding the Great Sage, Original Self have also gained some insight into how to restore the Echo of Life.

Whether you're herding one sheep or two, it's all the same.

Collaborative treatment doesn't require much extra effort; in fact, it can corroborate each other's findings.

Time passed slowly during the treatment, and in the blink of an eye, another five thousand years had gone by.

Ten thousand years of peace had almost completely extinguished the killing intent on the Human-Demon Battlefield.

Under the restraint of the Three-Legged Golden Crow, the Demon Race was indeed very restrained.

Not even the slightest friction occurred.

The situation is even more pronounced for the Human Clan.

Knowing they were at a disadvantage, the Human Clan did nothing but secretly develop their strength and guard against the Demon Race.

After ten thousand years of development, the Space Giant Dragon previously dispatched has increased from twelve to one hundred and fifty.

Seeing these giant dragons soaring through the void always brings a great sense of security to the Human Clan.

Over the past five thousand years, Xingtian has further honed the Principle of Battle to their visible limits.

He had absorbed most of the ancient texts in his mind.

After extracting the essence and discarding the dross, the tactics within were integrated into one's own understanding, providing immeasurable nourishment for comprehending the Principle of Battle.

As Xingtian's understanding of the Principle of Battle improved, the frequency of his challenges against the Supreme Powerhouse Demon Race decreased.

It wasn't that he had become complacent, but rather that the number of Demon Race who could ignite Xingtian's fighting spirit was dwindling.

Most recently, Xingtian even directly challenged the Golden Crow Clan Chief.

Although he ultimately lost, Xingtian knew that he was not far from his opponent's level.

After that battle, the Golden Crow Clan Chief immediately contacted the Demon Race clan's saints and reported Xingtian's strength.

In his view, Xingtian's growth in strength was simply too extraordinary.

Even if they are not yet his match, they can definitely be ranked among the top ten among the Supreme Powerhouse Demon Race.

The appearance of such a powerful individual naturally needs to be reported.

What puzzled him was that when the report was being given, all the other Great Sage Sages spoke up, but the Phoenix Ancestor of Xingtian's own clan was the only one who did not speak.
