In the vast cosmic sea, only two sacred universe domains have transcended samsara and exist independently—the Zhiyue Sacred Universe and the Dongdi Sacred Universe. When comparing their histories, strength, and depth of foundation… naturally, the Dongdi Sacred Universe, whose existence duration remains unknown to anyone, stands as the superior.
Within the Dongdi Sacred Universe lies the ‘Infinite Divine Realm.’
The Infinite Divine Realm gathers ninety percent of the immortal deities, ninety-nine percent of the Cosmic Sovereigns, all the Cosmic Monarchs, and the strongest beings in the entire sacred universe. The Infinite Divine Realm is magnificent and serene, with countless architectural styles from various civilizations and rare, exotic flora visible everywhere.
“Ooo! Gwaang! Wuu! Hong! Shhh! Xi!” At the center of the Infinite Divine Realm stands a towering green tree that spans the entire divine realm, constantly emitting sounds that spread in all directions.
This ancient, verdant tree soars straight into the sky, its trunk surrounded by numerous vines resembling jade carvings. Gently swaying in the breeze, the vines emit enchanting sounds that soothe the soul. Seated cross-legged beneath this ancient tree are countless figures, seemingly endless, forming a sea of people.
“Boom!” Suddenly, the entire tree trembled, emitting dazzling green light.
“Boom!” Then it transformed into boundless red light.
“Boom!” The towering tree radiated endless black light.
“Boom!” It shifted to infinite blue light.
“Boom!” Finally, it was radiant golden light.
Afterward, layers of radiant rings surrounded the ancient tree—five rings in total, dazzling and brilliant, visible throughout the Infinite Divine Realm.
“Ancestor Tree!”
“The Ancestor Tree displays five-colored radiance; the Ancestor is about to appear.”
“The Ancestor is coming!”
“The Ancestor!”
The countless immortal deities, Eternal Beings, and even the Cosmic Monarchs seated cross-legged beneath the towering ancient tree, upon witnessing the five-colored rings emanating from the Ancestor Tree, and the swirling currents around it, couldn’t help but feel shocked and excited. Some Immortal Deities even burst into tears, while others knelt, trembling in excitement.
The Ancestor!
The Dongdi Sacred Universe has existed for an immeasurable duration. The Ancestor “Dongdi” is the supreme existence in the hearts of all beings within this sacred universe.
However, over countless eons, the Ancestor “Dongdi” has rarely appeared, as if he never existed. Even many “Cosmic Monarchs,” who have lived through numerous cycles, have never personally witnessed the Ancestor Dongdi! As for the external cosmic sea… in the vast expanse beyond, no mighty being has ever laid eyes on the ancestors of the two sacred universes.
Therefore, Yuanzu is regarded as the strongest being in the cosmic sea!
Yet, compared to the ancestors of the two sacred universes who have long transcended samsara, Yuanzu is naturally inferior. However, no one has ever seen them. Even within the two sacred universes themselves, meeting their ancestors is extremely difficult. The ancient “Dongdi” appears even more rarely, and each time he does, the Ancestor Tree displays five-colored radiance.
“The Ancestor is about to appear!”
“The Ancestor!”
The Cosmic Monarchs in their respective palaces were all shocked and excited.
“I was born and have lived through a total of 82 cycles, never seeing the Ancestor. Finally, the Ancestor has appeared!” exclaimed a Cosmic Monarch, overwhelmed with excitement, not even bothering with his disciples, immediately using teleportation to rush toward the Ancestor Tree.
“The last time I saw the Ancestor was 119 cycles ago.”
“The Ancestor appears!”
Madness!
The entire Infinite Divine Realm fell into a state of ecstatic frenzy. As beings of the oldest sacred universe, they carried an innate sense of pride. They even subtly looked down upon the Zhiyue Sacred Universe! And judging from the size of the ‘Sacred Universe,’ their Dongdi Ancestor was likely stronger than the Zhiyue Ancestor!
Absolute pride, combined with immense reverence for their Dongdi Ancestor.
…
Streams of light appeared, gathering beneath the Ancestor Tree.
Numerous powerhouses hovered in midair; only Cosmic Monarchs or the strongest beings dared to float in the sky! At a glance, hundreds to nearly a thousand beings floated around the Ancestor Tree, each one respectfully waiting for their supreme Ancestor.
“Ooo! Gwaang! Wuu! Hong! Shhh! Xi!”
Suddenly, the mysterious sound grew louder.
Every powerful being present was captivated by this sound, including the mightiest of them all.
Amidst this peculiar melody… an extraordinarily radiant figure suddenly emerged in the sky. His robe was adorned with countless green branches and leaves, emanating boundless, misty green light, overflowing with vibrant vitality… Under the infinite verdant glow, the numerous powerful beings kneeling below felt an indescribable sense of comfort.
Even those with injured divine bodies were instantly fully restored.
Whoosh!
All beings, whether Immortal Deities or the strongest beings, awakened simultaneously and respectfully shouted in unison: “Ancestor!”
Silence followed, as all beings gazed fervently at the Dongdi Ancestor.
Dongdi looked down… his entire body bathed in endless green light, appearing indistinct… Even the few strongest beings and hundreds of Cosmic Monarchs felt an invisible, absolute oppression.
“I have heard,” Dongdi spoke slowly, “that within the Cosmic Vessel, one of the three forbidden places in the cosmic sea, a legacy has emerged—the legacy of ‘Dandonghe·Wu.’ Is this correct?”
“Yes.”
Hundreds of Cosmic Monarchs and strongest beings replied respectfully in unison.
They had just received the news, but nothing within the sacred universe could be hidden from ‘Dongdi.’
“This legacy of Dandonghe·Wu,” Dongdi continued, “is an extremely top-tier legacy within that powerful ancient civilization! I command… Beizhen Star Monarch, you personally escort 20 Cosmic Monarchs, 200 Cosmic Sovereigns, and 2000 Immortal Deities to the Cosmic Vessel at the fastest speed, sending them to attempt to obtain this legacy.”
“Yes.” A man in a white robe stepped forward respectfully.
Beizhen Star Monarch is an extremely ancient being. As one of the strongest beings, he became the strongest during the Primordial Universe era. He and the Dongdi Ancestor were from the same era. However, his small universe has long decayed, forcing him to rely on the sacred universe for existence.
“Are there any volunteers?” Dongdi looked down, “Only one can inherit this legacy, while others face mortal danger.”
“I am willing.”
“Willing.”
“Willing to go.”
“Willing.”
Almost instantly, the numerous Cosmic Sovereigns and Immortal Deities kneeling below shouted their willingness. Among the Cosmic Monarchs in the air, though few in number, dozens also volunteered.
“Let the elders discuss and finalize the detailed list.” Dongdi looked down, speaking slowly, “Ensure the list is finalized as quickly as possible and head to the Cosmic Vessel immediately! 20 Cosmic Monarchs, 200 Cosmic Sovereigns, and 2000 Immortal Deities will attempt together. This legacy of Dandonghe must be obtained by our Dongdi Universe. I… need this legacy!”
“Yes!”
A chorus of voices replied, filled with excitement.
The Ancestor needs it?
This instantly ignited even greater fervor among the countless powerhouses below.
…
Just the time it took to drink a cup of tea.
Beizhen Star Monarch rode in a dazzling black polyhedral sphere, speeding through the cosmic sea.
“It has been over ten cycles since I last entered the cosmic sea.”
“Now that I have appeared, I must ensure our Dongdi Universe secures this legacy.”
…
On the same day.
When the news reached the Zhiyue Sacred Universe, the equally mysterious Ancestor Zhiyue finally emerged, issuing orders to obtain the Dandonghe legacy at all costs.
“Yes.”
“Yes, Ancestor.”
“This legacy must belong to our Zhiyue Sacred Universe. The Lord of the Deer and Worm is already there; we have the greatest advantage.”
“Depart!”
“Following the Ancestor’s command, 1500 Immortal Deities, 150 Sovereigns, and 15 Cosmic Monarchs will all head there. The strongest beings will travel at incredible speed.”
…
The Divine Eye Clan, whose power rivals that of the two sacred universes, is even more frenzied.
The Seven True Lords gathered their manifestations in one place.
“This is our only chance.”
“The great calamity is approaching.”
“We must obtain the Dandonghe legacy. Compared to the complete legacy we originally received, this one is clearly superior! Moreover, according to the reports from Ying’ai and Wuliang, the means Dandonghe could employ after countless eons of demise are already terrifying, indicating its power.”
“I suspect that not only Cosmic Monarchs can inherit it; perhaps Cosmic Sovereigns and even the strongest beings might also be able to.”
The Seven True Lords’ manifestations gathered in the void, conversing with each other.
“I will go. Even if I encounter danger there, I possess the Palace Supreme Treasure and am a Cosmic Sovereign… I refuse to believe that the means left by Dandonghe after countless cycles of demise could kill me.” The Seventh True Lord spoke.
“I will go with Old Seven.” The First True Lord nodded slowly.
“First True Lord.”
“Teacher.”
“First True Lord, how can you go? Even if this attempt fails, the main hope for traversing the cycles still rests on you.”
“Shenyan, do not act recklessly.”
Immediately, a commotion arose.
The First True Lord is the strongest among the Divine Eye Clan. If he risks his life and perishes, it would be a catastrophe.
“In terms of strength, I am no match for Yuanzu. Even when compared to the Axe Creator, I am probably only on par.” The First True Lord sighed. “Yet, traversing the cycles… only the ancestors of the two sacred universes have succeeded through countless cycles! If I cannot surpass Yuanzu or the Axe Creator, succeeding in traversing the cycles will be difficult! This time may be the last chance for our Shenyan Clan.”
“Regardless, Shenyan must not act recklessly. I and Old Seven will go. Just send more Cosmic Monarchs and Sovereigns!”
“Alright, Second and Seventh, this time depends on you two.”
Soon, everything was arranged.
The Divine Eye Clan dispatched the Second and Seventh True Lords, leading a total of 20 Cosmic Monarchs and 100 Cosmic Sovereigns to the Cosmic Vessel… For the Divine Eye Clan, this was already a desperate gamble.
…
Numerous factions were indeed driven to madness, especially those from the First Cycle Era, who already faced an impending doom, naturally becoming even more frenzied. The Second Cycle Era and the Primordial Universe were also envious… As the saying goes, ‘He who has no long-term worries must have immediate concerns.’ Missing this Dandonghe legacy might mean not seeing its reappearance for several cycles to come.
If all factions knew that the ancestors of the two sacred universes had personally appeared and issued commands, the nearly one hundred factions across the three cycles would become even more frenzied.
