Meanwhile, far away, deep within the starry sky…

“What a splendid bath…” A cold, ethereal voice, resembling a woman softly whispering in one’s ear, suddenly echoed through the depths of the starry sky.

With a thunderous roar, from the unseen depths of the starry sky, the shadow of a Divine Tree, bearing resemblance to an Ox, rose into the sky.

Following that, a tall and slender figure emerged from the crown of this Divine Tree, gazing at the sea of lightning above her head.

She did not utter a single word; all she did was furrowed her brow.

Instantly, the starry sky trembled violently. Visible to the naked eye, countless branches, like mystical, divine chains, erupted from this tall, ethereal figure, extending across the starry sky and surging toward the sea of lightning.

*Swish, swish, swish…* As the divine chains entered the sea of lightning, the turbulent sea of lightning gradually started calming. Soon, it fell into a stillness, resembling a serene, dark lake, allowing the divine chains to absorb it.

Faintly, the tall, ethereal figure dressed in white grew increasingly breathtaking, truly resembling a deity, beyond words.

At this moment, as if sensing something, a voice suddenly reverberated through the starry sky, “Honored Self…”

Heaven-Connecting Jianmu’s ancient and majestic voice was tinged with rare respect. If Yu Zi Yu or any other powerful Transcendent were to hear this, they would likely turn pale. After all, even Heaven-Connecting Jianmu addressed her with such respect.

But then again, the two words that were spoken were—‘Honored Self.’

As for what this meant? Apparently, no one could say with certainty.

However, one thing was certain: the Heaven-Connecting Jianmu of this era, the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao, was anything but ordinary.

At that moment, as if hearing this ancient voice, the tall, ethereal figure dressed in white nodded slightly and stated, “You did well this time; that little one is worth our effort.”

“Indeed.” The ancient voice responded, his voice carrying a hint of pride, “Before leaving, I deliberately lingered a bit longer. He must have seen the Lightning Tribulation above us…”

But before the ancient voice could finish, the cold voice interrupted, “This is but a parlor trick…”

As she spoke, the tall, ethereal figure glanced at the starry sky and waved her hand. The next moment, a ripple of light spread through this part of the starry sky, seemingly sealing it.

Having done this, she finally heaved a sigh and continued, “We are destined to face a calamity. Even now, even after having cultivated a Dharma Avatar, we cannot escape it…”

“Haaaa… What can we do? Not only will the myriad races of the universe not let us live for long, but even the Consciousness of Cosmic Source will erase us after using us…”

Hearing the voice of the Gigantic Tree silhouette, resembling an Ox, the tall figure could not help but smile bitterly.

“So, we have no choice but to make investments like this. If he truly attains Eternity, only then might we be protected. Perhaps, we might get a chance to truly reincarnate and cultivate anew…” At this, a look of anticipation appeared deep in the eyes of the tall, white figure.

In this universe, only those who have reached the Eternal Realm could resist the Consciousness of Cosmic Source and even the myriad races of the universe.

For beings like her, seeking protection to exist was the only option.

As for achieving Eternity herself—that was simply Impossible.

Shackled by the Heavenly Dao, cultivating a Dharma Avatar was already her limit.

Now, even with most of her consciousness integrated into the Dharma Avatar, she still could not escape the notice of the Consciousness of Cosmic Source.  One misstep could lead to her complete annihilation—A tragic and lamentable fate.

While the myriad races of the cosmos revered her as ‘Lord Heaven-Connecting,’ she was merely a puppet—A puppet destined to face a calamity.

As a matter of fact, the Dharma Avatar was a Secret Technique of the Buddhist Sect.

A more accurate term would be ‘the manifestation of the true essence of one’s real self,’ a mysterious external incarnation.

But unlike other clones or incarnations, Heaven-Connecting Jianmu had integrated most of her consciousness into the Dharma Avatar, and had been hiding herself within her true body.

By doing so, she allowed her real body to better serve as a puppet of the Heavenly Dao.

As for herself, she continued to cultivate in silence.

However, bound by the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, she would never be able to touch the secrets of Eternity. All of this was merely her final struggle.

*Haaaaa…* A sigh, filled with both lament and sorrow, escaped the tall, ethereal figure as she quietly merged back into the colossal Tree body that resembled an Ox.

In the end, it was all just a Tribulation. She could not avoid it; she could only hope that it would not all be in vain.

…

Meanwhile, Yu Zi Yu had no idea that Heaven-Connecting Jianmu possessed such means.

Nor could he know that this Divine Tree with an ancient, timeworn voice had cultivated such an unparalleled Dharma Avatar, and its original form was that of a female.

But even if he knew, he would not care; it had nothing to do with him.

What mattered most to him now were the pieces of information that Heaven-Connecting Jianmu had left in his mind.

This was an introduction—a brief overview of the current state of the cosmos.

For instance, the planet where Yu Zi Yu was located, Planet Elysia, was still within the Milky Way.

However, it was quite far from Earth.

Beyond the Milky Way, there were numerous terrifying Star Domains. The most famous of these were the Titan Star Domains and the Angel Star Domain, both not far from the Milky Way.

In addition, there were many other Star Domains, such as the Dragon Clan’s Sacred Domain and the mysterious Dark Domain.

These Star Domains were largely gathering places for the myriad races.

Take the Titan Star Domains, for instance. it was almost devoid of other species, inhabited only by the Pure Blood Divine Titan Clan. Each one of them was as massive as a continent, drifting alone through the cosmos.

These were the true Pure Blood Titans. Not only were they enormous in size, but their combat power was also terrifying.

Though they were only at Tier-4, they were powerful enough to crush other Tier-4 Transcendents with a single strike.

Of course, there were exceptions—those with combat prowess far beyond their Tier could still battle against them. Particularly, the Void Clan, which could tear through their defenses. They were their natural enemy.

As a result, the Divine Titan Clan were especially wary of the Void Clan, which had emerged in this era.

They had even organized large armies to exterminate them.

However, the Void Space was vast, and even after decades, the Titans had not managed to eradicate most of the Void Clan.

On the contrary, one of their most renowned prodigies was corrupted by a Void King, transforming into a fearsome Fallen Titan. This event sparked a series of smaller-scale conflicts between the Void Clan and the Divine Titans within the Titan Star Domain.

Silavin: Turns of Jianmu is female. Well, that was a surprise. We’ll start addressing it accordingly now. I don’t feel like changing the past chapters would do justice to this reveal. Also, I’m too lazy to change everything.

Yes, it is obvious because of the former.
