The System Granted Me Invincibility, Setting Me on the Path to Becoming the Heavenly Emperor

163: The scene before my eyes, the origin of the catastrophe.Nine is the extreme number; the extreme signifies the end.

At the end of the Heavenly Pass, Qin Gelan arrived at the final Heavenly Pass.

A Celestial palace stood above the hazy clouds, and a staircase extended, like a path to godhood.

No Pass Guardian appeared in the entire Ninth Pass; only Qin Gelan was present.

Since he had come, he would make himself at home.

Qin Gelan stepped onto the long staircase, and suddenly, the scene before his eyes changed.

A haze enveloped Qin Gelan, obscuring everything. Even his Divine Sense couldn’t perceive anything, as if he were within the Chaos.

Qin Gelan was horrified, and then, his vision recovered.

He saw a hazy world beginning to take shape, deriving everything.

Planes were being born one after another, and stars slowly emerged, though they were all very dim.

However, all of this happened without any warning, as if appearing out of thin air. The Planes and stars began to drift, as if there were no space.

After an unknown period of time, Qin Gelan felt as though he had crossed the long river of time—a moment seemed like billions of years, yet also only a flash.

Time and space finally began to emerge during the derivation process.

Qin Gelan was shocked. This was the birth of the Great Universe!

The derivation of the Great Universe spanned endless years, and the Planes and stars shattered again and again.

At a certain point in time, a star lit up. Mountains, rivers, the sun, moon, and stars began to derive within it, and the four directions—above and below—started to take form.

After countless more years, this star gradually grew larger. Amidst the haze, living beings were born one by one.

There were Dragon forms, Phoenix forms, Tiger forms, and Human forms. All kinds of beings set foot on the great earth.

Qin Gelan watched all of this unfold. This was the derivation process of the Great Universe over infinite years, and it was extremely long.

But Qin Gelan felt as if he were watching an event unfold, with the long years being shortened countless times.

After an unknown number of years, the star that had initially formed transformed into an incomparably vast Plane World, covering the entire Universe.

The long river of time flowed again, and the scene continued to shift. That vast Plane World began to split.

Pieces of the Plane formed new Planes, separating into the four poles of the Universe.

Qin Gelan saw clearly at a glance: these were the Four-Directional Universe, and these Planes were the current Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms.

Qin Gelan continued to observe the derivation of the Great Universe.

Living beings also began to appear in the Planes that split into the four poles, and Cultivators emerged. Undeniably, the most powerful was the great Plane in the center of the Myriad Realms.

Era after era passed. Qin Gelan witnessed the rule of powerful individuals and the mutual conquest and survival of the fittest among the Cultivators.

The scene shifted very quickly, until a certain era when a powerful individual emerged in response to the times.

Qin Gelan witnessed his Cultivation journey, and even with Qin Gelan’s perspective, he couldn’t help but marvel at this person’s brilliance.

Rising from obscurity, he swept through everything, fighting opponents above his realm as easily as eating and drinking, until one day, he achieved Attaining the Dao as a Flawless Supreme Being.

Since the birth of the Great Universe, he was the first Supreme to achieve Attaining the Dao as a Flawless Supreme Being.

It was from that time on that the Myriad Heavens submitted, the Myriad Realms paid tribute, and within the four poles of the Universe, he alone was revered.

Qin Gelan also learned of this person; the world praised his title: Di Zun!

And this Great World Plane was also known as the “Immortal Realm.”

Time continued forward. Di Zun’s Cultivation became increasingly terrifying. In this Great World, and even the entire Universe, he had no rivals.

One day, Di Zun seemed to sense something, frowned, and looked at Qin Gelan with his eyes.

Qin Gelan’s heart trembled. He saw Di Zun smile at him. It was a countenance like a Celestial, full of majesty and power.

Di Zun looked across the long river of time toward later generations—what powerful Dao attainment was this?

Immediately, Di Zun looked toward the outside of the heavens, his eyes showing extreme solemnity. He reached out and captured the spirit of the plane of this Great Plane and condensed the Dragon Veins of the Great World.

A path connecting the heavens appeared—this was the Heavenly Road!

All of this was created by Di Zun. Even the Laws of this Great World were captured by Di Zun.

Having completed all this, Di Zun began to disappear from the world, until long years had passed.

Some speculated that Di Zun had fallen, while others guessed that Di Zun had not died and still existed.

During this period, Flawless Supreme Beings were born one after another.

Qin Gelan, who watched all this unfold, knew that Di Zun was walking the world.

He didn’t know what Di Zun was doing, only seeing Di Zun detain living beings one by one onto the Heavenly Road.

None of this was known to anyone. The Great World was still flourishing; a magnificent golden age of multiple Supremes coexisting was presented, nothing more.

The scene continued to turn, and the years moved forward again.

Boom!

A loud noise came, and cracks appeared in the Universe. The powerful experts of the Great World all looked towards the cosmic cracks.

Beyond the cracks, living beings appeared one by one. These were powerful existences that began to attack the Great World.

The Great World Plane was also suffering a Calamity, and the powerful experts of the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms were being slaughtered.

These beings even included Flawless Supreme Beings. The Supremes of the Immortal Realm also took action. They didn’t know where these people came from, but now, they shared a common enemy.

This was a world-shaking battle. The cosmic cracks gradually grew larger, and the swarming beings became more numerous and more powerful than the last.

The Immortal Realm began to shatter in the exchanges, until finally, even Flawless Supreme Beings perished.

Fortunately, in the end, the enemies were finally defeated through the joint efforts of the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms and the Supremes of the Immortal Realm.

Boom!

The unexpected happened suddenly!

A pitch-black great hand slapped down towards the Immortal Realm. The Immortal Realm, which had already suffered a Calamity, could not withstand the crushing force of this black hand at all.

Finally, the Immortal Realm was also shattered. The pitch-black great hand seemed intent on crossing everything to arrive here.

Just as all beings began to despair, Di Zun finally returned and crushed the black hand.

Di Zun looked at the cosmic cracks, his eyes filled with solemnity.

Qin Gelan watched all this. This was the origin of the Calamity of the Immortal Realm.

After Di Zun repelled the black hand, he did not attack again. Instead, he collected the shattered fragments of the Immortal Realm and sealed them within the Heavenly Road. The living beings he had detained earlier also appeared on the Heavenly Road.

The Immortal Realm completely disappeared from then on, leaving behind only a broken land with chaotic time and space.

This broken land formed a sea of time and space, which later generations called the “Chaotic Sea of Time and Space.”

But the matter was not over yet; the cosmic cracks remained.

Di Zun looked back at the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms after the Calamity, a look of determination in his eyes.

Subsequently, Di Zun no longer hesitated, turned around, and stepped into the cosmic cracks.

The last sight Di Zun left for all beings was that figure moving forward without hesitation.

After an unknown period of time, only rumbling sounds that shook the Universe came from the cracks, accompanied by roars.

And the cosmic cracks slowly closed, and the heavenly mystery also disappeared.

Qin Gelan understood that all of this was done by Di Zun.

Qin Gelan wondered, what exactly was that crack?

The scene finally vanished here, and Qin Gelan returned to reality.

Looking down at his feet again, where was the path to godhood?

Unbeknownst to him, he had already walked inside this palace.
