172: Chapter 171 The Star Emperor Dominated by His Past Self

From this point on, Ji Xingyue's Fusion with the Main World became extremely smooth.

Under the watchful eyes of various big shots, in just three days, ninety percent of the Dao within this Main World had completely merged with the Heavy Pupils above the firmament.

A holy aura covered the world.

At this moment, Ji Xingyue's strength was unimaginably powerful.

As the number of Dao she controlled gradually increased, her aura had already surpassed the ordinary Realm of Kings.

That terrifying power of the Main World was far stronger than any Supreme Realm expert.

The only pity was that it was not lasting enough.

If a great war were to break out, Ji Xingyue, having initially fused with the Main World, could even rely on the boundless power of the Main World to forcibly battle a [Supreme Position] in the short term.

But if it were to end in a stalemate, she would surely be defeated.

After all, this power of the Main World was not self-generated.

Unlike ordinary Supreme Realm experts who Cultivate the Heaven and Earth Law, where the self is the master and the world is the auxiliary.

Looking at Xing Mu on the firmament, Ji Xingyue frowned slightly.

After a moment of silence, she slowly spoke: "There are still some Dao controlled by the Imperial Court; I ask the Star Emperor to release them."

Regarding Ji Xingyue's request, Xing Mu did not say much.

The stronger the future self was, the more terrifying the boost to herself would be.

She had never met Gu, but she knew that after annexing the Main World, she would obtain an unimaginable boost in power.

Just the initial Fusion had already directly elevated a Dao Lord to such a terrifying level.

The future self in the palace was very strong.

Even though it was only the initial Fusion with the Main World, it had already surpassed the Realm of Kings.

That terrifying power of the Main World was far more formidable than any Supreme Realm expert in the Venerable Realm.

Was the merging of the Main World really this simple?

Xing Mu felt a bit surprised.

Back then, even Gu had not succeeded in completely annexing it.

Why was her future self so smooth?

Was it because of the Heavy Pupils?

Or because she already controlled a thousand Dao?

She couldn't quite figure it out.

But it didn't matter; as long as the annexation of the Main World could proceed smoothly, all the plans made by the Imperial Court were worth it.

Without any hesitation, Xing Mu began to issue orders: "All Dao Lords, listen to my command, release your Dao."

"Understood." Hundreds of Dao Lords shouted in unison.

Although they did not know why they had to release their Dao, the Star Emperor's order was the highest directive.

Even if she asked them to self-destruct, they would not hesitate at all.

This was an honor rooted in their bones.

After all, these Dao Lords were survivors from the ancient era, a group of old veterans who had experienced the most glorious age.

As the voice fell, hundreds of Dao Lords released their Dao one after another, completely erasing their own marks on the Dao of the Main World.

Hum... The world trembled.

Hundreds of extremely powerful Dao, following the completion of the release, suddenly surged in the firmament.

These liberated Dao were extremely potent; within the Main World, they were the types of Dao with the strongest offensive power.

Once they appeared, their dazzling light caused the entire world to be shrouded in divine radiance.

"Thank you," Ji Xingyue said softly.

This was the most critical step in the initial Fusion with the Main World.

Without the Imperial Court's consent, it would have been almost impossible for her to obtain these Dao.

Hum... On the firmament, the Heavy Pupils flickered.

With the complete Fusion of those hundreds of Dao, a trace of divinity appeared in the original Heavy Pupils, as if the original consciousness of the Heavenly Dao had awakened within them.

"It is time to start the second step." In the palace, Ji Xingyue's Heavy Pupils flickered.

The world began to tremble violently, and the eyes on the firmament were expanding at a terrifying speed.

The speed was fast, but for the entire Main World, to completely fuse with it, the Heavy Pupils had to grow to a point where they could contain the Main World.

Compared to the size needed to grow, this speed was a bit slow.

Hum... While the Heavy Pupils were growing, all living beings below the Immortal level were frozen by an invisible force at this moment.

It was as if time had been paused, and even their thoughts were frozen at this moment.

"Venerable Mu, have you really thought this through? If the Fusion with the Main World succeeds, I fear you will be cut down by your future self." The Eastern Emperor spoke again from the blood coffin.

Given the current situation, this future self of Venerable Mu was very likely to succeed.

After all, the Main World was currently incomplete, and the difficulty of Fusion was not too harsh.

Moreover, this era was an era of recovery, and the Main World naturally had a sense of closeness to the beings born in this era.

This was also the main reason why everything was going so smoothly.

Thinking back to those days, when his father devoured the Main World, that Lightning Tribulation almost buried the Taichu Era.

Look at now, sigh... Fortunately, Father has disappeared; otherwise, if he knew that a later generation person could succeed in the initial Fusion so easily, he would probably be angered to death on the spot.

Xing Mu looked at the infinitely expanding Heavy Pupils, feeling somewhat surprised in her heart.

"My birth is destined to become a [Taboo Emperor]; no one can stop it. This is Heaven's will, and it is my fate. Eastern Emperor, you do not understand."

"Hehe... Venerable Mu, you are indeed arrogant, but how many Prodigies have there been throughout history, and who has truly achieved that Realm?"

"You know who has succeeded, don't you?"

Facing the retort, the Eastern Emperor fell silent.

[Taboo Emperor] was a Realm that a Cultivator could hardly avoid.

Any Supreme Realm expert would go crazy for that Realm.

If the [Supreme Realm] was the transcendence of the self, then [Taboo Emperor] was the transcendence of everyone.

As far as he knew, as long as one reached the [Taboo Emperor], one could forcibly reverse time and space, allowing departed loved ones to be resurrected again—a true resurrection.

And in the current situation, perhaps the [Taboo Emperor] was even more miraculous than he knew.

An entire era had been revived.

The current era was an era of recovery, with no past and no future, only existing in this Main World because of the existence of that [Taboo Emperor].

Of course, this was a secret; only those with the strength of the [Supreme Position] could deduce it.

After a long time, the Eastern Emperor slowly spoke: "As far as I know, Venerable Mu's future self has a deep connection with that person. In the future... will the Imperial Court support that person's return, or are you preparing to replace them?"

Hearing this, the originally indifferent expression of Xing Mu flashed with a moment of unnaturalness.

She looked in the direction of the Return to Ruins, which was covered by darkness, making it impossible to investigate the scene within.

"Fate begins and ends. My meeting with him was just a coincidence. If there is still Karma after the three bodies merge into one, I will naturally go and resolve it."

Speaking of this, Xing Mu smiled, and a hint of nostalgia appeared in her indifferent eyes.

The scenes of her meeting with Ye Xiu back then suddenly flashed in her mind.

Outsiders only knew that she was Cultivating the method of merging the three bodies, but they did not know that the Star Emperor before them was actually led by the past self, while the present self still existed in the Sea of Consciousness, waiting for the three bodies to completely merge.

She turned to look at the blood coffin in the Ghost Realm and spoke again: "Eastern Emperor, when a person dies, it is like a lamp going out. Dead is dead. Even if the flowers are similar, they are ultimately not the person from back then."

The Eastern Emperor did not speak.

Were they really just similar flowers? No. The Bloodline could be fake, everything could be fake, but the recovery of an era could not be fake.

His father was Gu, a hero from the same era as that lord, a trusted follower who had followed that lord for countless years.

In his father's memories, the Eastern Emperor had seen that lord more than once.

Although he could not see his appearance clearly, he would never forget that aura for the rest of his life.

It was almost exactly the same as the young man he had seen.

Otherwise, a little guy who disturbed his slumber would have been killed by him on the spot.

How could he have the nerve to deliberately befriend him?
