343: Epochal Opportunities

After the Star Alliance of Star City ended, Chaos Origin City entered an unprecedented period of high-speed operation.

Grandmist Dao Palace became the command center of the Star Alliance. The light of the myriad worlds star gate never ceased day or night, continuously transporting massive resources, merit points, construction blueprints, and even some enhanced engineering Puppets to various nodes. Mr. Yuan Mie Xu and Su Yao also returned to their respective territories, putting full effort into Star City construction and coordinating Star Alliance internal affairs.

The myriad dao furnace roared into operation, efficiently smelting spoils of war sent from the Withered Star Domain, Putrid Swamp Nebula, and various battlefields, refining strategic materials like pure Chaos Star Gold, life essence, and space crystals. The chaos creation platform was in full swing; after consuming a massive amount of slaughter value, the second and third batches, totaling two thousand Chaos Star Scar Guards, came off the production line. Combined with the Origin Guards, they formed the powerful "Star Continent Defense Legion," led by several Origin Guards Centurions who had achieved a Breakthrough to the Hunyuan Realm. They were dispatched to various key node areas to clear out entrenched exotic beasts, suppress potential rebellions, and guard the Star City under construction.

Lin Yuan sat at the center, coordinating every gear of this massive machine through the star city lord token and the myriad worlds star gate like a deity in control of the whole situation. The merit points and slaughter value in his hands were like strategic reserves, precisely invested where they were needed most, driving the rapid filling of the star continent map. On the map, more and more yellow light spots representing "under construction" appeared. Even nodes occupied by several small forces had begun to take the initial shape of a first-level star fortress under Lin Yuan's focused support and the brief blessing of "Infinite Enhancement."

However, Lin Yuan knew deeply that the Foundation of all this lay in his own supreme power. The Star Alliance was newly established, relying on his thunderous methods of annihilating Ku Rong and his halo as the Son of the Plane. If he himself stagnated and could not achieve a Breakthrough to a higher Realm before the Hongmeng Origin World opened, then this seemingly massive Alliance would still be fragile before real Saint Realms or even higher existences.

On the star continent map projected by the grandmist dao source divine seal, in addition to the various colored light spots representing construction progress, as time passed, countless small but sharp "star glints" had been added! Every star glint represented a Myriad Dao Realm Dao Lord who had newly entered his star continent map with ulterior motives!

"The Myriad Dao Realm restrictions have long been lifted." Lin Yuan opened his eyes, a Chaos halo swirling within them. His deep gaze seemed to penetrate the Dao Palace barriers, seeing the majestic Dao charms rising into the sky from all over the God Domain. It was no longer the scattered auras from before, but like a galaxy erupting; countless powerful and unique Dao Lord pressures were unscrupulously declaring their existence, fighting for the resources and opportunities of the new God Domain!

An invisible pressure, more direct and imminent than the threat of the Dark Abyss, descended. His primary opponents were no longer just the Dark Abyss or exotic beasts, but these Myriad Dao Realm Dao Lords who, attracted by the Hongmeng Origin World, were pouring in from various planes like a school of carps crossing a river!

"On the path of a Dao Lord, the system is king." Lin Yuan's eyes shone with divine light as his consciousness sank deep into his Sea of Consciousness, staring with intense focus at the primordial azure lotus dao embryo rooted in the guixu origin point, with lotus leaves holding up stars and stamens nurturing the Grandmist.

"Supreme Dao Lord... Myriad Daos returning to Chaos, this is the peak of the path to heaven!" Lin Yuan's voice carried incomparable determination and yearning. This was the theoretical ultimate form of the Myriad Dao Realm, and the supreme Realm that could only be reached by those with the "Chaos Great Dao" as their core. Its difficulty was beyond imagination!

One needed to comprehend, master, and ultimately incorporate all the Daos governed by the Chaos Great Dao—including the ten strongest, the hundred top-tier, and the three thousand basic ones, as well as endless side paths and derived Laws—entirely under their Chaos system!

Holding six Daos at Perfection, among which Chaos, Life and Death, Time, and Guixu were all among the strongest! Within his body, he even nurtured a primordial chaos universe prototype. This starting point already far surpassed countless Prodigies throughout history, pointing directly to the ultimate Realm of a Supreme Dao Lord.

However, the road remained long and arduous. Under Chaos, the myriad Daos were as vast as a sea of stars. Every time he comprehended and integrated a new Dao and its branches, it was an extreme challenge to his own understanding and control. Especially those Laws that conflicted with the attributes of the Daos he already mastered or were profound and obscure; they were exceptionally difficult to comprehend.

Just then, the grandmist dao source divine seal sent a warning! At the edge of the star continent map, a star fortress node being constructed by a Prodigy from the Flowing Wind Sword Sect erupted with a violent energy conflict! A sharp and peerless Dao charm, filled with the pure Perfection aura of the "Gengjin Sword Dao," was clashing fiercely with another heavy and majestic Dao charm emitting the Perfection aura of the "Wutu Great Dao"! Clearly, powerful external Dao Lords were fighting for an Opportunity!

What made Lin Yuan's eyes narrow slightly was that through the divine seal's microscopic perception of the battlefield's energy flow, he clearly "saw" that after that Gengjin Sword Dao Dao Lord killed several Myriad Dao Realm Elders of the Flowing Wind Sword Sect, several strands of extremely pure Law fragments containing the "True Meaning of Gengjin Sharpness" were actually absorbed under some kind of rule! The aura of that Sword Lord then had a microscopic but real increase!

"So, this is the true Epoch Opportunity!" Cold light flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes. "In this God Domain, killing other Dao Lords allows one to seize their core Dao fragments, accelerating one's own comprehension and mastery of the corresponding Dao!"

This rule was like pouring cold water into a boiling oil pan, instantly upgrading the already cruel competition in the God Domain into a bloody Gu arena! Weak Dao Lords were prey, and strong Dao Lords were hunters. And someone like Lin Yuan, who possessed the strongest Daos and infinite potential, would surely become the focus of countless greedy gazes!

"Myriad Daos competing, the weak are prey to the strong... This is the final and most cruel screening set by the Heavenly Dao before the opening of the Hongmeng Origin World!" Lin Yuan slowly stood up, a chilling killing intent mixed with the supreme Dao charm of Chaos rising up.

"Chaos Origin City is my Foundation, and the star continent map is the beginning of my future. Those who covet them shall be killed!"

"Myriad Dao fragments are the nourishment for me to integrate Chaos and achieve supremacy. Those who block my Dao shall be killed!"

His gaze locked onto the conflicting node on the map. Taking a step forward, his figure disappeared into the light of the myriad worlds star gate.

"I shall start with this reckless 'Gengjin Sword Lord' and let all Dao Lords know what Chaos supremacy is, and what... the sorrow of a Dao Lord is!" The cold declaration, accompanied by the lingering sound of the star gate closing, echoed in the Dao Palace. A bloody journey with the Dao Lords of the heavens as prey officially began!

At the Flowing Wind Star Fortress node, the battlefield was a mess.

The third-level star fortress fortifications, which had just begun to take shape, were now plowed with countless deep furrows by sharp Gengjin Sword Qi. Between the broken walls and ruins, there was a pungent smell of rust and the lingering scent of blood. The Flowing Wind Sword Sect Prodigy leaned on a broken sword, half-kneeling on the ground, blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth, his aura withered. His eyes were filled with the shock of surviving a disaster and infinite awe for the figure that had descended.
