He ‍​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍had not expected the reason the Heavenly Dao could not change or accept his proposal to lie within the Heavenly Dao itself.

It ‍​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍could be said that the Heavenly Dao was an utterly stubborn conservative, constrained by its own nature.

However, ‍​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍it was not as though there was no solution.

Suddenly, ‍​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍Li Tianwei seemed to think of something. He smiled faintly and raised his eyes toward the heavens.

“What ‍​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍if I do this?”

Li Tianwei formed a hand seal, directly activated the Great All-Encompassing Heaven-Defiling Art, and pointed toward the heavens.

The Ultimate Good Leaden Splendor Scripture followed, and then he waved the Sun and Moon Banner in his hand.

Countless Evil Souls and Departed Souls flew out of the Banner.

Nearly ten billion Departed Souls densely overlapped layer upon layer, completely filling this entire region.

Upon seeing Li Tianwei’s actions, the Heavenly Dao also found them extremely strange.

After all, recently it had sensed that the world was becoming strange, yet it did not know where the root cause lay. The only things it knew were that it no longer felt as uncomfortable as before, and that those strange things that had once invaded the Immortal Cultivation World were continuously disappearing.

It was precisely because of this that it had gradually been able to recover, regain some control, and restore a measure of order.

It had even become capable of communicating with Li Tianwei.

Meanwhile, Li Tianwei looked at the Departed Souls and Evil Souls that had appeared, a plan already formed in his mind.

In his eyes, the Heavenly Dao, order, stability—all of these were actually meaningless.

What use did any of them have? Since the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Cultivation World was constrained by order and could not do anything that violated that order.

Then how did order itself, and the balance it maintained, come into existence?

Without question, what truly determined order and rules was definitely not the Heavenly Dao. It could not control them either.

But there was something that could control them, and their standing was even higher than that of the Heavenly Dao.

And that something was the countless utterly ordinary living beings within the Immortal Cultivation World.

They were the key that determined everything. Their thoughts and resentment had attracted the Evil Demons, and their collective consciousness determined everything about the Heavenly Dao.

Since that was the case, he would begin with the countless living beings. Only they could completely change the original order.

Therefore, as long as they were willing to agree, something like the Netherworld Administration and Underworld did not require the Heavenly Dao’s permission at all.

After seeing just how powerless the Heavenly Dao was, Li Tianwei expressed his understanding.

After all, he had already encountered more than enough burdens, such as the System! The Book Spirit, and even the Heart-Questioning Stairway that had determined he possessed a False Spiritual Root. In other words, these strange things always seemed to have problems.

“Sigh, without me, this world would fall apart sooner or later.”

Thinking of this, Li Tianwei could not help but sigh with emotion.

After sighing, Li Tianwei pushed the Ultimate Good Leaden Splendor Scripture to its limits, while the Great All-Encompassing Heaven-Defiling Art erupted with its full power as well.

What Li Tianwei intended to do now was borrow the nearly ten billion Departed Souls within the Sun and Moon Banner to completely bring the order of the Netherworld Administration into existence.

That was right. He would gather the consciousness of all living beings and completely alter the Heavenly Dao’s order.

Compared with believing in heaven and earth or entrusting everything to something else.

Li Tianwei still believed in the power of living beings themselves.

Moreover, Li Tianwei had already seen the outcome. Doing this was certain to succeed.

The Ultimate Good Leaden Splendor Scripture, combined with the Great All-Encompassing Heaven-Defiling Art and the Grand Unified Field’s power to twist rules and alter consciousness.

Those Departed Souls had no power to refuse. They could only stare at Li Tianwei as their consciousness gradually faded away.

Through the Ultimate Good Leaden Splendor Scripture, Li Tianwei’s current arrangements had already transformed into countless streams of information that surged directly into their consciousness.

“The Netherworld Administration, the Underworld?”

These Departed Souls, whether ordinary mortals or Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivators, all felt the impact of that entirely new stream of information.

They were given no opportunity to refuse. Li Tianwei directly used the power of the Ultimate Good Leaden Splendor Scripture to alter their consciousness. Within the consciousness of virtually every Departed Soul.

“Reincarnation. We still have the right to be reborn.”

“We need the Netherworld Administration. We need the Underworld.”

“We agree.”

Nearly ten billion Departed Souls steadfastly held the same unified consciousness.

For some things, if only a single person acknowledged them, that recognition would seem insignificant amid the vast sea of humanity.

But if that recognition reached an extreme scale, with enough people acknowledging it, then that principle could determine everything.

Thus, under the recognition within the consciousness of these Departed Souls, an extreme quantity of thoughts accumulated together.

If nothing else, these thoughts transformed the intangible into the tangible—when thoughts gathered, they became reality.

The Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Cultivation World also stared somewhat blankly at the scene before it, unable to understand why Li Tianwei was doing this.

Originally, it had thought Li Tianwei intended to fight it. If Li Tianwei truly wanted to battle it, the Heavenly Dao felt that it probably would not be able to defeat him either.

But now, that did not seem to be the case.

Just as the Heavenly Dao concluded that Li Tianwei was doing something useless, it suddenly sensed that something seemed to be quietly changing.

And the power behind this change came from the existing order itself, as though many new things had suddenly been added to it.

The Heavenly Dao was stunned for a moment and immediately began sorting through everything. Yet when the information regarding those sudden additions and changes reached it, even the Heavenly Dao could not help but become dumbfounded.

Because the new order and regulations it had just received were precisely the order Li Tianwei had mentioned earlier.

Those rules all concerned establishing the Netherworld Administration and Underworld within the Immortal Cultivation World—the ability to enter the Yellow Springs, Ghost Messengers walking through the mortal world, and all manner of other new rules.

At this moment, the Heavenly Dao was genuinely dumbfounded. It did not even know how these rules had appeared.

Li Tianwei had clearly done nothing more than unleash his power and summon those Evil Souls, yet the order itself had changed.

As for Li Tianwei, he was not surprised by this.

Order and stability had always originated from the countless living beings of the Immortal Cultivation World.

And the people within his Sun and Moon Banner were themselves living beings from the Immortal Cultivation World, so! It was only natural that they could establish the order of the Netherworld Administration.

Without anyone realizing it, even while everyone else in the Immortal Cultivation World remained completely unaware and continued living as they always had.

An Underworld that would determine everything about their futures had already appeared.

With Li Tianwei’s current strength, he could naturally perceive the existing rules and order.

As the creator of the Netherworld Administration and Underworld, no one understood the Underworld and Netherworld Administration better than him.

After finishing all of this, Li Tianwei raised his head and looked toward the heavens once again, as though saying that he apparently did not need it after all.

Faced with Li Tianwei’s gaze, the Heavenly Dao was momentarily speechless.

Even the Heavenly Dao itself actually found it difficult to discover the true essence of the world.

It merely acted according to instinct, rushing around the Immortal Cultivation World putting out fires and patching holes.

It had never investigated the essence of order itself. Regardless of the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Cultivation World or the mighty powers of the world, every reversal and every change ultimately originated from the living beings that currently existed.

This was precisely Li Tianwei’s understanding. He directly glimpsed the answer behind things and everything about their nature.

And with that, the solution appeared.

With the support of the thoughts of the Departed Souls within the Sun and Moon Banner, the Way of the Netherworld Administration appeared within the path of immortal cultivation.

Seeing this, Li Tianwei pointed at the Sun and Moon Banner and casually waved his hand.

A phantom image immediately roared outward, and the scene displayed within this phantom was none other than the Underworld and the Eighteen Levels of Hell inside the Sun and Moon Banner.

This phantom represented the projection of the Underworld, which meant that the Immortal Cultivation World and the Sun and Moon Banner had already become interconnected.

As everything was completely perfected, names continuously appeared one after another within the Book of Life and Death inside the Sun and Moon Banner.

It even divided everything in the world into classifications, categories……

From the most basic living beings, plants, paramecia, to humans, the fierce beasts of the world, and all kinds of exotic beasts, everything had been entered into the Book of Life and Death.

Among them, Li Tianwei’s name was also listed on the very first page.

That was right. The first name Li Tianwei entered was his own. As long as he died, he too would be received and guided by Ghost Messengers just like countless ordinary people, after which he would undergo joint judgment by the Ten Halls.

Of course, there was one prerequisite—he actually had to be capable of dying.

Li Tianwei had calculated that his current lifespan was undoubtedly an enormous number.

According to the standards of the Immortal Cultivation World, the Foundation Establishment Realm provided a lifespan of nearly five hundred years, the Golden Core Realm nearly eight hundred, while the Nascent Soul Realm could reach more than a thousand years. If one thoroughly comprehended various powers, extending one’s lifespan to two thousand years was also possible.

And Li Tianwei had undoubtedly shattered the lifespan record of the Nascent Soul Realm. Li Tianwei felt that, because of fusion, his lifespan might be tens of thousands of times that of an ordinary Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!

The two were completely outside the same range, but was that not perfectly normal?

With his Nascent Soul Realm strength, even Immortals found it difficult to contend with him, so was it not perfectly normal for his lifespan to be comparable to an Immortal’s?

With the projection of the Sun and Moon Banner establishing a complete connection with the Immortal Cultivation World, it also represented the formal establishment of the Underworld.

Under this change, some powerful cultivators within the Immortal Cultivation World inexplicably sensed that some indescribable transformation had occurred.

Unfortunately, they could not discover the answer.

At present, they had no inclination to investigate it either. Ever since Li Tianwei swept across the Four Great Spiritual Domains.

It could be said that every sect and Holy Land throughout the Immortal Cultivation World had been thoroughly swept clean by him.

Otherwise, Li Tianwei would never have sought out the Great Void Forbidden Land to complete the Sun and Moon Banner after it absorbed too many Departed Souls.

The Great Dao of Cultivation had risen throughout the Four Great Spiritual Domains, while more than half of the Demons and Monsters had also been exterminated by Li Tianwei. Every threat had been completely erased.

As for what path they should follow next, the surviving cultivators of the Four Great Spiritual Domains were themselves utterly lost, so how could they possibly care about this inexplicable change?

However! Although those cultivators could not sense it, the Heavenly Dao knew.

After the Netherworld Administration was completed, the information transmitted through the newly established order allowed the Heavenly Dao to understand just what kind of terrifying existence this fellow had created.

Not only could it eliminate the resentful energy between heaven and earth and thereby suppress the reappearance of Evil Demons.

It could even replenish the spiritual energy of the current heaven and earth. This was already far beyond merely completing what had been missing.

Just as the Heavenly Dao thought this, the dark clouds that had originally covered the heavens disappeared.

In their place was boundless golden light filling the entire sky, within which flowed supreme might, faint spirituality, and the power of creation.

When the System within Li Tianwei’s consciousness saw the boundless golden light filling the sky, it was completely stunned.

【So much Heavenly Grace.】

The System instinctively sighed. At this moment, it was fantasizing about directly taking all this Heavenly Grace for itself and using it to return to the Main System. Would that allow it to obtain a decent position and completely live an easy life from then on?

The System was incomparably excited and desperately wished it could obtain this Heavenly Grace, but it clearly knew that the owner of this grace was Li Tianwei. It could not simply take it just because it wanted to.

Compared with the System, Li Tianwei’s expression had already turned completely black as he stared at the golden light in the sky.

“What the hell is this power?”

Seeing so much Heavenly Grace, Li Tianwei already felt like cursing.

After breaking through to the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm and establishing the path of cultivation, Li Tianwei had already been at risk of ascending to the Immortal Realm in broad daylight at any moment.

That was precisely why he had deliberately relied on his absolute strength to suppress this sensation of ascension.

But now that all this Heavenly Grace had appeared, Li Tianwei had already developed a bad feeling.

“No way! Don’t do this, seriously.”

Seeing this, Li Tianwei could not help muttering.

Other cultivators possessed an incomparable yearning for ascension, but for Li Tianwei, it was genuinely troublesome.

After all, he had only just finished dealing with the Immortal Cultivation World. Even though the path of cultivation had already been passed down, there were still some problems with it in Li Tianwei’s eyes, so it was not suitable for him to leave yet.

However, the appearance of the Heavenly Grace, together with the Netherworld Administration completing heaven and earth to such an extent, was already beyond the control of the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Cultivation World.

This was a reward that the entire Immortal Cultivation World was forcefully bestowing upon Li Tianwei.

“At least I completed so much for you, and you’re actually trying to send me up there? I’m still in the Nascent Soul Realm!”

“Ascending while still in the Nascent Soul Realm?”

Li Tianwei muttered several times, but unfortunately, the grace in the sky paid him no heed and descended directly upon him.

With countless forms of grace descending upon him, combined with everything that had accumulated previously, Li Tianwei had reached the point where he no longer had a choice.

Actually, if Li Tianwei forcefully insisted on staying, he could still accomplish it, though he would have to pay a price.

But Li Tianwei also understood now that, instinctively, he already felt that he had more or less finished everything he needed to do.

What remained in the Immortal Cultivation World would have to depend on its people themselves. Li Tianwei also believed in the power of humanity itself.

“Forget it. I’ll just ascend directly.”

“Ascending in the Nascent Soul Realm—basically no one can do that.”

“But! As the protagonist, isn’t that practically standard?”

Li Tianwei stopped resisting and felt the grace continuously descend upon his body.

【Host, Host, you’re not planning to ascend, are you!】

At this moment, the System also snapped out of its fascination with the Heavenly Grace, only to see that Li Tianwei had already begun slowly floating upward while the Heavenly Gate in the sky gradually opened.

【Host, don’t! You absolutely can’t ascend!】

【If you ascend, that means your mission will be completed. If that happens, I’ll have to return to the Main System.】

Seeing this, the System immediately shouted.

After hearing the System’s voice, Li Tianwei’s body paused slightly, and the grace forcefully pulling him toward ascension was completely restrained.

No matter how much it exerted itself, the guiding force from the heavens remained unable to drag him upward.

“Isn’t completing the mission a good thing?”

Li Tianwei replied to the System.

Hearing Li Tianwei’s voice, the System was stunned, momentarily unsure how to answer.

The System actually did not want to return, whether to the Main System or anywhere else.

Once it returned, it would still become a puppet of the Main System, just like those Hosts it had once controlled.

That numb feeling of being unable to control itself was something the System no longer wanted to experience.

Especially after it had developed a sense of self through Li Tianwei, it had become even more resistant to the idea.

However, the System knew that if it wanted to break free, only Li Tianwei, this person who never played by the rules, could help it.

Thinking of this, the System immediately shouted toward Li Tianwei.

【No, I don’t want to go back.】

【Host, aren’t you the protagonist? You said you’d carry me to the top. How can bringing me only this far possibly count?】

【As your System—the System belonging to someone as extraordinarily gifted as you—how could being some insignificant little System possibly be enough? I want to become the Main System.】
