Chapter 2026 – Yun Yi, Again?

Lu Yun mused quietly for a moment before nodding slowly. It did indeed demonstrate a certain lack of logic that three hundred and sixty-five major cycle eyes of great dao were willing to destroy everything within fifty million kilometers just to capture him.

Other than the Tome of Life and Death, there didn’t seem to be anything else on him that would cause them to go to such effort. The great daos and orders of this world were fair and impartial. Although the eyes of great dao were derived from great dao, they were under the control of a subjective being.

As for the Disordered Grand Supreme’s speculation that the eyes of great dao were the eyes of the world’s overseer? That strayed too far from the truth. They stood in a part of real existence. No one could truly conquer or rule it.

Anyone who wished to do so would be jointly attacked by tens of millions of their peers. Not even the chief worlds had ever had an unquestionable liege lord, to say nothing of this world.

The operations of the heavens were powerful and forceful—so should sovereigns constantly seek to improve and work with a firm resolve for success.

Peace and prosperity reigned when a group of dragons lacked a leader. Where there was governance, there would be rebellion. There was no place that proved to be an exception.

Being closer to the origin of great dao, none of the cultivators of this world would be willing to be ruled by another.

One could only say that these eyes were under a powerhouse’s control, but that powerhouse was not the ultimate master of the world.

“These eyes of great dao…” Lu Yun flitted through the void and quietly operated formula dao, trying to derive their origins. “…are three hundred and sixty-five empyrean supremes!”

The young man paled. “That person killed three hundred and sixty-five empyrean supremes that arrived in this world. He used their bodies and great dao to fashion the eyes of great dao and made them his replicas!”

When he broke one of them with a punch, it awoke that supreme powerhouse and focused his attention on where the eye had been.

“We should… leave if there’s really nothing we can do about the situation?” The Disordered Empyrean Supreme looked worriedly at Lu Yun. “The overseer I speak of is one of the strongest in this world. My father possessed the battle strength of an empyrean supreme back in his day, but he and three other empyrean supremes could not withstand a single thought from that person…”

One thought, one stray hint of will. The powerhouse hadn’t even needed to twitch his hands or feet to defeat four empyrean supremes!

“No worries, I’ll kill him if he dares show himself,” Lu Yun leered. “I have the strength of nihil on me.”

“Ai,” sighed the Disordered Empyrean Supreme. “No, I understand why the eyes of great dao were alarmed into chasing after you. It’s the power of nothing that this world truly fears.”

The power of nothing had jolted the eyes of great dao into looking at the young man, upon which the eyes further realized there was something on the outsider that they could not see through. That had set everything else in motion.

Lu Yun didn’t care because he had his trump card. He could instantly return to the chief worlds through the Gates of the Abyss if he wanted to. However, it would be a waste of the mastermind’s efforts if he departed before becoming a grand supreme. By now, he’d guessed who it was behind everything.

Fuxi.

Only Fuxi would be willing to go to so much effort on Lu Yun’s behalf and create a passage that led to the real patch of existence.

The young man resolutely endured everything for Fuxi’s sake and tried to find an appropriate way to resolve the situation. It was possible that he’d never find his way back here if he gave up and returned to the chief worlds. And who knew what kind of price Fuxi had paid to make his passage possible?

“I’ll tell you how to assimilate into this world and hide for good after you shake off the eyes of great dao,” the empyrean supreme whispered when she suddenly thought of something.

“How?” Lu Yun brightened and shifted the power of reincarnation, calling upon the Karmic Tree. Dense power of reincarnation circulated between him and the Disordered Empyrean Supreme, cutting off lingering strands of karma.

Hellfire could consume karma, but it was too eye-catching. Karmic power was different as it dispelled karmic ties through a gentle, natural process that occurred in the blink of an eye.

“You were trying to get information out of me!” the Disordered Empyrean Supreme realized. So the young man already knew how he would take care of the situation, but didn’t speak of it because he wanted to force the empyrean supreme into revealing what she knew!

Although they had agreed upon a deal, they certainly did not share the same path.

“Establish a sect or a faction and meld your great dao into this world to obtain the approval of its heaven and earth. If you do that, you’ll find a way to hide your book in this world,” she continued without hesitation.

Her first order of the day after rebirth was to assume command over the shamans, combining her great dao with the shamanic race so the heaven and earth of the chief worlds would approve of her.

Gaining that approval meant numerous benefits and the ability to see much more within the realm. While the order of heaven and earth lacked desire and emotion, it possessed an instinctive nature to protect what it accepted.

“I see.” Lu Yun blinked, then nodded. It wouldn’t be easy to establish a faction here. He’d have to evade being hunted down by the eyes of great dao.

Once he created a sect and obtained the world’s approval, he would be able to construct transportation formations and altars, gaining the ability to come and go from this real world any time he wished.

The existence that was the chief worlds might come back to life at any time as an unparalleled being. That would lead to the demise of all lives and only a true existence, a real world, could be their final home.

If he could move the World of Immortals here and have it be his home’s backyard, then he’d have a path of retreat even if that powerhouse really did come back to life!

He wasn’t fretting over nothing—the possibility really did exist. The existence in the nothing was already tempting him to pull out the sword, but according to Tailong, that would revive the dead heavyweight.

Compared to the one in nihil, Lu Yun was more willing to trust Tailong. The former trying to persuade Lu Yun meant that he might try enticing others. Thus, death and nirvana were only a matter of time.

Fuxi had sent him here more than just to help him become a grand supreme. Lu Yun suddenly thought of another person.

Yun Yi.

Was this yet another one of her plots?

That would be too ridiculous, wouldn’t it? She was just a peak grand supreme. If her vision could stretch this far, why wouldn’t she ensure her own safety and prevent herself from dying in the sacrificial rites?

But the more he looked at the Disordered Empyrean Supreme following by his side, the more Lu Yun felt that he could come here not just because of Fuxi and Tailong’s efforts, but because of Yun Yi.

He’d found his way here because he’d gone to the Firmament Prison to retrieve its fragments.
