407: The trial world has finally come to an end!!

"True God Realm," Lu Chen replied calmly.

The Five Great Immortal Lords were struck by lightning.

Above Territory Suppression are Divine Beings, and above Divine Beings are True Gods

—a Realm that no one has touched in the 360,000 years since the world's inception!

Emperor Xuanyuan took a deep breath, determination flashing in his eyes: "So Emperor Qin didn't lie to us... You truly are the Heavenly Dao. You will ultimately destroy this world."

"I told you long ago, but you didn't believe me," Lu Chen said indifferently.

Emperor Xuanyuan suddenly laughed heartily: "Now I believe it. Since that is the case, I, too, shall follow the examples of Emperor Qin, Shen Wuya, and Ling Tian, and fight a magnificent battle for this civilization!"

Before his voice fell, he abruptly activated the Origin power accumulated in the Nine Heavens over hundreds of thousands of years, forcibly Breaking Through to the God-Man Realm!

The Four Immortal Lords, Bai, Qing, Yan, and Xuan, exchanged glances, their eyes devoid of any remaining distance.

They simultaneously burned their Lifespans, pushing their Realms to the Peak of Territory Suppression, shouting: "Xuanyuan! We will accompany you in this battle!"

The Five Elements Great Array instantly took shape, and five-colored divine light shot into the sky, recreating the years they fought side by side!

Unfortunately, Lu Chen sighed softly: "You truly are inspiring... but I don't have time to watch."

He extended five fingers, and from their tips shot out five elemental auroras of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—

These were exactly the Daos Cultivated by the Five Great Immortal Lords throughout their lives.

They didn't even have time to resist before the Laws most familiar to them pierced their Divine Souls, transforming them into five points of light that dissipated into the world.

Just before dying, Emperor Xuanyuan actually showed a relieved smile: "Thank you... for letting us die by the Five Elements. This is fitting."

Chi Yao stood frozen in place the entire time, her mouth wide open—in just ten minutes, the Immortal Court was destroyed, all the Emperor Lords perished, and a million Heavenly Soldiers were annihilated!

Lu Chen reached out to her: "Come, Chi Yao. Sit on the Lingxiao Throne, and from today onward, you shall be the new master of the Nine Heavens—the Immortal Emperor!"

Chi Yao trembled all over, unable to believe it: "I... a Red Slave, can actually achieve Immortal Ascension to become an Immortal Emperor? This is something I wouldn't even dare to dream of..."

She suddenly looked up, tears in her eyes: "Brother Lu Chen, are you really the Heavenly Dao? Will you destroy the world?"

"Yes," Lu Chen nodded. "But not now. There are still two hundred years. Are you afraid?"

Chi Yao shook her head vigorously: "I'm not afraid. Being able to see you again today, even if I die right now, I am satisfied!!"

Following this, Chi Yao became the new Immortal Emperor, known as Emperor Chi!!

Since this was a Training, Lu Chen also had to undergo Mortal World Training.

Thus, he spent ten full years with Chi Yao, experiencing life in the tumultuous Mortal World.

He allowed himself to taste every bit of romance, tenderness, enjoyment, and indulgence.

At the height of luxury, Chi Yao even arranged for hundreds of Celestial Maidens to attend to Lu Chen together.

These dreamlike days nearly caused Lu Chen to become engrossed, forgetting his identity and mission.

Fortunately, just as Lu Chen was enjoying himself the most and feeling the most comfortable, he instantly withdrew, severing all ties to the Mortal World.

This step was also a necessary stage in the Heavenly Dao Training.

"Chi Yao, the next hundred years are up to you. I must leave now."

Chi Yao did not cry. She understood that being able to accompany Lu Chen for ten years was already her immense glory, and she would not ask for anything more.

Without any emotional farewells, Lu Chen simply waved his hand and left directly.

He then returned to the Divine Realm to continue his secluded Cultivation.

In a flash, two hundred years passed.

Lu Chen finally Broke Through the True God Realm, reaching the God King Realm.

"Is this my limit?" Lu Chen felt the existence of a Bottleneck for the first time, because after Cultivating to this Realm, there were no more Cultivation Techniques to reference; the Cultivation Technique of Zero was only a derivation, and he would have to rely entirely on his own exploration afterward.

[Congratulations, host. For reaching the God King Realm for the first time, you receive 1 million heavenly dao energy upon civilization settlement.]

[Training World Civilization Status (CVI Index): Reached 2.1]

Sure enough, every time a new Realm was Broken Through, the Civilization Status of the entire world would increase slightly. The higher the Status, the higher the bonus during civilization settlement, and the higher the limit for creating the next world.

Lu Chen entered secluded Cultivation for a few more years, but made no progress. It seemed that in this world, there was no possibility of any further Breakthrough; his Realm was locked.

Fortunately, Lu Chen consolidated the God King Realm, thoroughly mastering all the Laws and rules of the God King Realm, and created many practical Moves for future High-Dimensional Combat.

Calculating the time, 400 years should be up!

Ding!

Finally, a pleasant sound was heard.

[Congratulations, host, Training mission complete.]

[1: Reach above the Nascent Soul Realm. Current Realm is God King Realm. Exceeded requirement. Training reward bonus +1000%.]

[2: Training World duration exceeds 400 years (completed Easter Egg Mission, reduced by 100 years). Training reward bonus +200%.]

In an instant, four hundred years of time rolled back like a long river—

From the youth in Lu Family Village holding a Long Spear and slaying Mountain Spirits, to the bloody battle against Hordes of Demons at Guanyin Temple, shaking Wicked Devils with a mortal body;

From breaking arrays alone in Feiyun City and taking enemy heads amidst Ten Thousand Troops, to battling the Demon King in the Southern Barbarian Secret Realm and subduing the Four Great Divine Beasts;

At the Taixu Sect, slaying the Three Great Death Row Inmates of the Spirit Realm, finally achieving Nirvana and Rebirth amidst the siege of the Five Great Heavenly Venerables, and then snatching the Dragon Origin from the combined forces of Emperor Qin, Shen Wuya, Ling Tian, and the Five Great Heavenly Venerables;

Then tearing apart the Ascension Channel and shattering the Divine Realm Threshold... Scene after scene, frame by frame, all transformed into golden light streams, converging into the long-dormant Heavenly Dao Imprint between his eyebrows.

Rumble—!!!

The entire Training World suddenly contracted!

The Nine Heavens collapsed into stardust, the shattered Small World, the Spirit Realm, the Nine Heavens, the Lingxiao Hall... all the mountains, rivers, cities, memories of living beings, and Karma Network collapsed into an incomparably brilliant, basketball-sized world, suspended in Lu Chen's palm.

Lu Chen slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again—

His pupils were no longer flesh and blood, but two rotating Universes! The left eye contained the birth and destruction of Star Rivers, and the right eye held the flow of Laws.

His hair transformed into Strings of Time, his robes surged with Chaos Airflow, and his breathing was the respiration of the Major Thousand Worlds.

"Heavenly Dao Authority has been restored! Hahaha!"

Lu Chen laughed wildly!! Billions of golden lights burst forth from his body, shooting straight beyond the dimensions!

The Void Realm cracked open with countless fissures, revealing the Heavenly Dao Architecture behind it—Data Torrent, Destiny Code, Civilization Template, Reincarnation Engine... all Heavenly Dao Sovereignty returned to its place at this moment!

The pleasant, even slightly fawning, System voice sounded.

[Congratulations, host! The heavenly dao system has successfully reached Level Ten, unlocking all Heavenly Dao Authority! As long as you do not exceed the limit of the Beta Version, the host can now freely create, destroy, and alter world rules.]

A trace of coldness suddenly flashed across Lu Chen's excited face: "System! You've worked hard! You can retire now. I am now taking back all your authority."

The heavenly dao system was not flustered.

[host, I was created to serve the host. You have the right to revoke my authority, but I must remind you that the code and authority of the heavenly dao system are run by programs. If you control the operation yourself, you are, after all, only a human. A single oversight can ruin everything; you are bound to make mistakes. Therefore, I suggest the host retain my authority. Rest assured, I will no longer restrict or control you as I did before.]

Lu Chen laughed loudly: "You don't need to worry about that. I have my own methods!!"
