In the far reaches of the universe, there exists a region that no living being has ever set foot in.

This is a desolate wasteland, devoid of anything.

Even meteorites, which are ubiquitous in the universe, are reluctant to visit this place.

However, within this seemingly lifeless wasteland, there exists a tiny galaxy.

Like a lonely pearl in the universe, shining brightly in solitude.

Within this galaxy lies a massive asteroid belt, resembling a mysterious dragon, coiled around nine planets of varying shapes.

These planets orbit a star, forming a unique and mysterious celestial system.

Eight of the planets appear lifeless and devoid of any signs of life.

They are either covered with meteorite craters, have thin atmospheres, or have excessively high or low temperatures, making them unsuitable for life.

But one planet stands out from the rest.

Its surface has a blue hue, like a dazzling pearl, which is intoxicating.

It was a deep and captivating blue, beautiful and serene.

This special planet is full of life and vitality.

Its atmosphere is of moderate thickness, protecting the planet's surface from cosmic rays.

Its temperature is suitable, maintaining a stable ecological environment.

On the planet's surface, one can see lush forests, vast grasslands, and shimmering lakes.

It is like a paradise of life, where all kinds of creatures thrive and multiply, forming a prosperous and harmonious ecosystem.

Logically speaking, such a planet is most likely to give rise to intelligent life.

However, looking across the entire globe, there is no trace of intelligent life.

Until their gaze turned to a group of mountains.

This place is shrouded in endless thick fog year-round, making it impossible to see anything inside.

Once the thick fog is cleared, you'll discover that there are actually quite a few villages nestled among the mountains.

These villages are interconnected, collectively protecting the highest mountain peak.

On the mountain peaks, various buildings rise and fall.

It has an antique charm, like a paradise on earth.

"Three against three!"

"Five to five!"

"I'll blow it up!"

A familiar voice rang out from one of the small courtyards.

The three sat around the table, their eyes filled with wariness.

It was as if they harbored some deep-seated hatred.

In particular, the young man in blue actually overturned the stone table in front of him with a slap and started cursing at the young man in white.

"You bombed me again? Every single time! Who the hell are you on?"

Faced with the accusations from the young man in blue, the young man in white calmly righted the stone table and gathered up the scattered playing cards.

He showed no annoyance at the sight of the scattered, bad cards, as if he were already used to this scene.

"Want to play another round?"

"I have no objection!"

Yi Xuan looked at the Good and Evil Twin Corpses, before him, a barely perceptible smile appearing on his face.

"Alright! I'll play one more game with you guys!"

When the Sovereign left, he reclaimed control over the Good and Evil Twin Corpses.

However, the Great Sage's Opportunity within the two was taken away by the Sovereign.

Therefore, the two instantly fell back to the realm of Supreme Powerhouse.

Seeing that everything had settled down, Yi Xuan was unwilling to stay in the Immortal Realm any longer.

So he led the entire Mother Planet and everyone from the Azure Cloud Sect to this desolate land.

The Great Sage's methods are indeed terrifying.

Following the original design of the Solar System, Yi Xuan constructed a completely new star system here.

They then used technology to terraform their Mother Planet.

It transformed it into something resembling Earth.

A day in the mountains is like a thousand years in the world.

Time in the outside world seemed to be completely isolated from this place.

Far removed from the disturbances of the universe, Azure Cloud Sect is like a paradise on earth.

Yi Xuan used the power of the Great Sage to grant immortality to everyone in the Azure Cloud Sect.

People who have no desires or wants suddenly find that cultivation has become tedious and tasteless.

The ultimate goal of cultivation is immortality.

Therefore, when immortality truly arrives, cultivation becomes utterly worthless.

Humans are, after all, Body Integration of desires.

How many people can truly be free from desires and wants?

Even monks who spend their days with the dim light of the lamp and the ancient Buddha statue may still harbor the obsession with becoming a Buddha.

And what about other people?

As a result, the disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect began to leave one after another.

The once vast Azure Cloud Sect was reduced to nothing more than Yi Xuan and his Good and Evil Twin Corpses.

The three of them lived among the mountains, with nothing but the now-deserted village and sect as their companions.

On this day, Liang Shi, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, appeared before Yi Xuan with a solemn expression.

Watching the three masters engrossed in their game of Dou Dizhu, I had a thousand words to say, but I refrained from interrupting.

Only after Yi Xuan overturned the table again did he slowly speak.

"What's wrong? You haven't come to see your master in ages!"

Yi Xuan's words inevitably made Liang Shi feel somewhat awkward.

But remembering the purpose of his trip, he quickly said, "My master is dead!"

"Who?"

Yi Xuan, who was gathering the cards, suddenly jolted and looked at Liang Shi in disbelief.

"Shi Zhenghao!"

The unfamiliar yet familiar name left Yi Xuan momentarily dazed.

He didn't know how much time had passed before he came to his senses and asked calmly, "How did you die?"

"Promoted to Great Sage! Died from a Strike by Five Thunderbolts!"

"What? You've advanced to the Great Sage level? And you've been struck by five thunderbolts? Are you kidding me?"

He is the only being in the universe to have directly confronted the Sovereign.

Yi Xuan knew better than anyone else in the world that the so-called advancement to the Great Sage was nothing but a joke.

Absolutely impossible!

Without the Great Sage's Opportunity, how can one even talk about advancing to the Great Sage level?

He didn't believe the Sovereign would be so generous as to bestow the Great Sage's Opportunity upon someone else.

And then there's the phrase "struck by five thunderbolts!"

This level of Heavenly Tribulation is beyond the reach of even the Supreme Powerhouse!

Even if some random immortal were to appear, it would only tickle him; how could anyone possibly die?

Yi Xuan stared at Liang Shi for a long time, but the disciple's expression did not change at all.

He immediately understood.

It seems that what Liang Shi said was true.

Tell me! What happened?

It turns out that after 150 billion years of development, all races in the universe have reached their respective peaks.

Each race has given birth to countless Supreme Immortal Emperors.

As the myriad races of the universe developed, a problem inevitably arose.

It's about resource allocation!

In the struggle for more resources, conflicts will inevitably arise among the various races.

This kind of conflict, which involves the survival of races, either never breaks out.

Once it erupts, it will be a fight to the death.

Moreover, all races in the universe share the same universe.

For any race, the other 9,999 races are natural enemies.

The extermination of other races is seen as a favor to one's own race.

Thus, another earth-shattering war broke out in the universe.

Countless Supreme Powerhouse perished within its depths.

The war had been going on for an unknown period of time.

Apart from the idyllic paradise where Yi Xuan resides, almost the entire universe is currently engulfed in war.
