"If it truly is so, you would become the Divine Mother... the spiritual model of all under the heavens would be constructed in your image. Contemplating you, they could enter the Emperor Realm."

"At that time, the spirits of seventh-tier powerhouses would break through using your method, all in your likeness! You would be their god!"

Zhu Zhengwei said, "If I had not appeared in the world, then it would have been you, emerging to rule this realm, correct?"

"Indeed so."

She spoke lightly, her expression serene and tranquil.

Initially, she had nearly completed her cultivation. As someone from the same era as Emperor Chu, she intended to wait until after his demise to emerge, but unexpectedly, she encountered that Beast Race Great Emperor...

Thus, she waited patiently, concealing herself.

"What do you think of this method?" Empress He Li asked with a smile.

"This method, before I appeared, was the greatest heretical method in the world! Malicious and wicked, it cut off the future's lifeline... But after I appeared, it became the greatest orthodox Dharma Gate in the world, allowing all living beings to be like dragons, thriving for ten thousand generations."

Zhu Zhengwei thought for a moment, candidly expressing his views.

"Why such contradiction?" She laughed.

Zhu Zhengwei sat on the chair, slowly speaking, "Calling it a heretical method means making the world in your likeness, everyone becoming your replica... In such a future grand era, although everyone could enter the Emperor Realm, once you think deeply, there is endless fear and no more diversity! Everyone's spirit is in your likeness!"

Over the years, Zhu Zhengwei had acquired the demeanor, discourse, and vision of a superior, speaking calmly:

"But once I appeared, opening the Dharma Gate of the Boundary-breaking Pearl, this method became the greatest orthodox Dharma Gate in the world."

"Oh?"

"Because people now have two choices for breakthrough: the weak cultivate the method of Nascent Soul, contemplating you as a 'deity', becoming your likeness, and breaking through to an ordinary seventh tier, dependent on others... Ambitious top powerhouses study and develop their unique cultivation skills, then break through using the traditional Boundary-breaking Pearl!"

As Zhu Zhengwei finished speaking, Empress He Li laughed, giving Zhu Zhengwei a deep, meaningful look.

This was indeed their thought!

Zhang Zhi indeed opened an incredible path for all living beings, allowing everyone to be like dragons.

However, allowing everyone to break through to the seventh tier also brings powerful side effects!

Even if not just one Nascent Soul deity exists, but eight hundred or eighty thousand, each cultivating their method... Providing choices for contemplation, becoming followers, would not be good, still imposing a vast limitation.

Fearing a flourishing of heretical ways, they hesitated to continue perfecting the Dharma Gate.

After all, with this method out, regardless of strength, everyone cultivates the method of Nascent Soul for breakthrough, there would be no more rich diversity, possibly leading to unimaginable drawbacks in the world!

Yet now, there is a different scenario.

"You are a great talent," Empress He Li said admiringly, "Unfortunately, time is running out. Otherwise, continuing to open one Dharma Gate after another, releasing all the seven Divine Sect Dharma Gates, would create a magnificent scene?"

Her heart brimmed with regret, her face full of respect.

How long has he been in the world?

It's been less than a hundred years.

Even if he spent a hundred years researching cultivation skills, it's unimaginable to open one every thirty years!

This prodigy was enough to change the entire era and future.

"This is from my master, to be given to you," she took out a vial.

Zhu Zhengwei was surprised, "What is this?"

Empress He Li candidly answered, "When Emperor Chu passed away, during the war of the Witch Race and the ten suns hanging high, contending for the throne, my master happened to pass by and picked up a fallen Golden Crow, casually making it into Elixir of Immortality, extending your lifespan."

Zhu Zhengwei was momentarily stunned.

No wonder, now there are only nine Witch Emperors ruling nine Golden Crows, this is why.

"Forget it, I don't want this Elixir of Immortality," said Zhu Zhengwei, now an elderly Great Emperor, in a somewhat disinterested manner, waving his hand, "In this life, I do not long for living forever, only seeking a life of carefree wandering; if I cannot breakthrough before dying, then I shall grow old and die."

After all, if he truly needed the Elixir of Immortality, he could have it by opening his metaphorical cheat.

He only wished to truly enter the mortal world, live this life without external aid, to see where his limits lies.

"Farewell then."

Zhu Zhengwei stood up and slowly bowed, "Empress He Li, I wish you to create a glorious era for the realm in the future!"

Empress He Li's expression instantly became complex, looking at this peerless figure like a heavenly dragon, knowing he was a brave and fearless sage of the land.

"Sir, truly worthy of respect!"

She bent in a bow, watching as this aged Human Emperor descended the mountain.

As Zhu Zhengwei descended, shaking his head, he felt very unsettled inside,

"Everyone wants me to open up the remaining four Dharma Gates, the anticipation is intense."

But he knows what he knows best.

A cliffhanger left unresolved, suddenly a break in the continuity, might be the best choice.

"Even with the Elixir of Immortality offered, urging me to continue."

Having met two ancient Immortals and discussed with them twice, obtaining their experimental results, Zhu Zhengwei greatly benefited, having some marvelous insights.

Of course, these insights were not about creating a fourth Dharma Gate. He wasn't that ridiculous; he knew that his three Dharma Gates were accrued knowledge.

The first Dharma Gate was inspired by a gene civilization, gathering the essence of their civilization.

The second Dharma Gate was from modern civilization and various fantasy novels, using souls to refine artifacts.

The third Dharma Gate was the supercomputer.

Not to say plagiarizing, but these were borrowed inspirations, seamlessly integrated and innovative, so effective that they eclipsed the original.

He now had some new ideas, not to open a fourth Divine Sect method, but rather some new inspiration for the first method, creating new life forms, seeing some possibilities for himself to extend his life, living a second life.

Zhu Zhengwei pondered these ideas for the future,

"Seems I must continue to study the first Dharma Gate... using what they accumulated, cell liquefaction, storing qi, the method of contemplation... researching a new life-form modification."

In addition, he left the third and second methods... Only the most difficult, the first method "Billion Prison Immortal Thief", the strongest Divine Hand, nobody was left to teach it to others.

This was somewhat regrettable.

Though the requirements for cultivating this method are too high, needing Divine Heart Transformation, not something common people could grasp, he wanted to research a "Billion Prison Immortal Thief" youth version.

Controlling thousands of cells, tens of thousands of cells at once...

Only using a fraction of one's power, one pair of hands at a time, only altering one layer of epidermal skin simultaneously... still creating small miracles.

He wandered for several more years, constantly researching, trying to create a weakened version that ordinary people could cultivate.

Yet no matter how, he couldn't succeed.

This was beyond human mental control capabilities.

Without several thousand minds.

Suddenly, he looked up at the sky, as if seeing something, "The moon... it might work!"

"It seems possible to do it this way!"

That day, his thoughts cleared completely, and inspiration flowed abundantly.

Unknowingly, he found himself back at the very beginning, the starting point of their voyage, where they once raided the Tree of Life in the Fairy Forest.

They had once openly challenged the Twelve Ancestral Witch Countries on this Holy Island.

"Hmm, I will leave the last Dharma Gate in this place of world significance. The dream of this life started here and ends here."
