CHAPTER 56:The World Reacts!

Silence.

Absolute silence.

At this moment, the entire heavens and myriad worlds were numb.

Countless beings stared wide-eyed, blankly fixated on the final image, their throats convulsing.

A reversal.

Another reversal.

It kept turning over.

From the very beginning, they had seen Wang Nixian step onto the path of cultivation with the Hengyue faction, crowned as the White-Haired Great Heavenly Venerate, ultimately clashing with Tianyun Daoist.

Everyone thought that was the end. That this was the full story.

Then came the first twist.

Tianyun Daoist spoke.

He declared that everything—the Tiangang Continent, the legend of the White-Haired Great Heavenly Venerate—was but a Samsara dream conjured by Wang Nixian's previous life using the Dreaming Technique.

Every event and trial he had experienced was merely a figment of illusion, constructed from Wang Nixian's imagination.

Wang Nixian, driven by the desire to revive his deceased wife Li Qiu, had chosen to incarnate in Samsara, crafting dreams into reality through that forbidden technique.

When this was revealed, all the major powers across the heavens and myriad worlds gasped. They were astounded by Wang Nixian's sky-reaching means.

And then came the second reversal.

It was not a dream. Not an illusion.

It was the current Wang Nixian who dispatched his killing clone, Wang Lu, back to the past. Through the Dreaming Technique, he altered the past and constructed an identical illusionary world to trap Tianyun Daoist.

Tianyun Daoist, deceived by the dream, believed it was all real. He was convinced that Wang Nixian had reincarnated, and what he saw was reality.

Simply put—

Tianyun Daoist thought Wang Nixian was on the first level, while he himself stood on the third.

But in truth, Wang Nixian was on the fifth.

He had already predicted the predicted prediction of the predicted prediction.

Had it ended there, the powerhouses of the myriad realms would have simply been shocked.

But the final corner of that last image horrified them beyond measure. Their scalps tingled.

Because the third reversal appeared.

White-Haired Wang Nixian lifted a crystal orb from the ground.

Within the orb replayed the exact sequence of events just witnessed.

And the ground was littered with thousands more such crystal orbs.

Then came a single sentence.

"Congratulations to fellow daoist Wang Nixian, who has unified the past, present, and future, achieved the One Proof of Eternity, and ascended to the ninth step beyond the Heavenly Realm."

This one sentence shook the soul of every powerhouse across the cosmos. It froze their hearts and souls.

Everything they had seen—every layer of reality and illusion—was merely Wang Nixian's method to fuse timelines and establish a singular eternal proof.

The Heavenly Dust Realm, despite its immense power, was but one of the 1,080,000 great worlds within the Eternal Immortal Domain.

With such means, how could they not be awed? How could they not tremble?

And it was Wang Nixian's calm smile that made them shudder more.

He simply said:

"Fellow daoist Su, fellow daoist Meng, fellow daoist Bai, fellow daoist Wang, let us rejoice together."

What did this imply?

That there were at least four others as powerful as Wang Nixian.

Terrifying.

Such a world was simply terrifying.

At that moment, a line of golden ancient immortal script emerged on the All-Heavens Ranking.

The Ranking of the Heavens and Myriad Worlds—order irrelevant.

Ninth Place

Eternal Immortal Domain World

Before these dazzling golden characters, no one dared to raise an objection.

In the World of Gods and Demons

"Wang Nixian... this person's strength is truly beyond us. If anyone can unify the past, present, and future into a single eternal proof, it would be someone like him. Even the Heavenly Dao must bow."

After a long silence, the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons and Chen Zhan spoke solemnly.

Powerhouses like them never hesitated to acknowledge true strength.

But fire burned in their eyes.

"Still, no matter how strong he is, give me time and I too shall carve my path to supremacy."

In the Leaf-Covering-the-Heavens Big World

For the first time, the expression of the Supreme Emperor slumbering in the Forbidden Life Zone shifted.

Even for one such as him, this level of power was difficult to contend with.

"To unify the past, future, and present... this is true immortality."

"A real immortal immortal."

"If such beings exist, why do we continue to slumber? Why do we prepare for the Black Cataclysm, consuming the life essence of billions merely to survive?"

"Why do we keep cutting ourselves down to cling to the Emperor Realm?"

Greed and envy flashed in his eyes.

Silent. Covetous. Mad with desire.

Time passed.

A hoarse voice echoed from the depths of the Taikoo Chu Mine, one of the seven Forbidden Life Zones.

"Yes, he's strong. But he's not from our world. He is no threat here. Now that the grand trend has formed, it is time for our emergence. Prepare for the launch of the Extreme Dao Black Cataclysm."

With those words, the Forbidden Life Zones fell silent once more.

Only the occasional bloody radiance shot into the heavens, proving those zones were never truly at peace.

Outside those forbidden zones—

Ye Hei and the big black dog watched silently.

"This Eternal Immortal Domain... too fierce."

The big black dog's eyelids twitched. A bad feeling crept up his spine.

Wang Nixian and the others in the Eternal Immortal Domain had merged past, present, and future into one eternal realm.

Even the Supremes in the Forbidden Zones could not compare.

"Don't tell me... our world's not on the list? They said order doesn't matter... but what if we weren't counted at all?"

The big black dog's pride cracked.

He had been bragging in the All-Heavens Ranking comment section.

If their world wasn't on the list, the backlash would be massive.

"If we want to make it on the list, we can't rely on the wastes in the Forbidden Zones. We'll have to count on my master, the Great Emperor Wu Shi, and the Ancient Era Heaven Court founder. Only they can push our world's status up."

With that thought, he felt a little comforted.

In the Universal World

"Your Majesty Liandi, was that Wang Nixian really the white-haired boy from the Dust World we once visited?"

Xuan Ba, Yuan Ye, and others looked at the white-haired Wang Nixian of the Eternal Star Domain and spoke with disbelief.

Shen Lian nodded, smiling.

"Yes, it's him."

"Who would've thought that back then, that boy would grow into such a legend?"

Xuan Ba and Yuan Ye were filled with awe.

The immortal Wang Nixian of the Eternal Immortal Domain rivaled even Quasi Emperors in both means and strength.

Across the universe, only a few peak experts at the level of Dao Lords and Sacred Masters could hold their ground against his One Proof of Eternity.

"And this is only the ninth-ranked world. Their strongest are already nearly on par with us."

"It seems the myriad worlds cannot be underestimated."

Xuan Ba, Yuan Ye, and the others exchanged solemn glances.
