Lord Shenxiu-Chapter 968: Restoration

"What is the supreme path, truly?"

"The supreme battle of the Grand Celestial Heaven, in hindsight, seems to have been a major defeat for the human race, with demons and monsters gaining the upper hand?"

Within the realm of Innate Wu Tai.

Zhong Shenxiu's true form seemed to pierce through the endless void, witnessing the various transformations occurring inside the Grand Celestial Heaven.

"An ancient battlefield, a dispute over orthodoxy?"

"More crucially, I cannot discern which side belongs to me... or perhaps, both sides do? Or neither?"

Zhong Shenxiu smiled to himself, ruefully.

After all, he had merely joined the small circle of Time's Ouroboros and did not enter into alliances with higher supreme beings.

Thinking about these matters now held no meaning.

He could only understand more about the states of supreme existence through observing the Grand Celestial Heaven, thereby deriving his own supreme path.

'The changes in the Grand Celestial Heaven are too intense, from Luo Yutu and other cultivators' words, it seems quite shattered...'

'Similar to the Human World where Lu Wen Yuan resides, there may be many, and perhaps even the Spirit Realm isn't singular...'

'Beyond the Spirit Realm, there's the true "Immortal Realm," a place only True Immortals can ascend to!'

'The victory or defeat of a single Spirit Realm doesn't seem to genuinely determine the strength of true orthodoxy...'

'Perhaps, one must visit the Immortal Realm?'

Upon observing the supreme battlefield, Zhong Shenxiu felt one thing: these beings stood very high, overlooking all from a very elevated dimension!

For them, a million years, a billion years, may be just a moment!

Even now, he couldn't accurately grasp such a mindset and state!

'Overlooking history?'

'If a True God can decide a world's history, then supreme existences decide the history of all worlds, of endless time and space...'

'Even... the entire past, present, and future of time and space are decided by the supreme, and their conflicts are the greatest variable for the future?'

If this is truly the case, it would indeed be terrifying and despairing.

After all, this implies whether a True God can achieve supremacy depends not on their aptitude and effort, but on whether they have the support of a supreme existence!

'No... perhaps it's not so despairing...'

'Time's Ouroboros somewhat envies me... but in reality, it's the one truly supported by a supreme... Why would it think my journey on the supreme path is easier?'

While pondering, Zhong Shenxiu suddenly felt the world tremble!

Buzz! Buzz!

The void roared, bringing a sense of apprehension, as if something major was about to happen.

His gaze involuntarily turned outside the world.

Beyond the membranes of heaven and earth, or rather outside the crystalline wall system, an astonishing transformation was underway.

The five supreme demons, which had been weakened and attacked by the Innate Wu Tai for a long time, finally began to undergo some changes.

Rustle!

In the infinite sea of life, suddenly appeared faces full of feminine gentleness.

They bore expressions of pain and struggle, as if engaged in some kind of conflict.

Not just [Heavenly Elder], in a farther location, a shadow seemingly spanning ancient and modern times continuously slithered, growing one black lump after another, upon which elderly faces vaguely appeared...

The tattered robes of [Mysterious Lord] fluttered, with countless unknown things writhing underneath.

In the terrifying world of [Deceitful Master], the cracked earth began to merge, and the broken buildings started to mend...

In the endless stars of [Star God], eyes seemed to fill with a certain emotion.

...

A flash of light.

Zhong Shenxiu now stood alongside Time's Ouroboros and the Master of Doors, expression solemn: "After such prolonged weakening and contention, they finally reached a certain boundary of these beings, and now rationality and madness begin to vie for dominance anew?"

Previously, with the avatar of the Innate Wu Tai he summoned, coupled with great will, and supported by the entire world, that Wu Tai avatar relentlessly weakened the five external supreme existences, attempting reverse encroachment.

Now reached a critical juncture!

Boom!

The entire world roared, the crystalline wall system suddenly opened, with the avatars of the Innate Wu Tai turning into five streams of light carrying intense unifying resonance, directly merging into the bodies of the five supreme beings!

A terrifying will suddenly erupted within them!

'Indeed, regardless of previous weakening, at the final moment, the avatar still must merge with its true self...'

'Just unsure which side holds the upper hand post-fusion?'

'Since that powerful being dared such a course, surely had some level of confidence!'

Zhong Shenxiu stared intently, thoughts racing.

At this moment, he, reaching the pinnacle of ancient immortals, suddenly looked up, gazing into the endless void.

It seemed as though higher dimensional gazes were cast down, bringing myriad influences.

"Hiss... some supreme beings are unwilling for this one to recover..."

Time's Ouroboros flicked its tongue: "But the supreme from our side will obstruct..."

Zhong Shenxiu couldn't perceive such hindrance and interception, only felt that in an instant, history and future were altered and overwritten multiple times...

Ultimately, the development now did not change an iota.

Splatter! Splatter! Splatter! Splatter! Splatter!

In the sea of life of [Heavenly Elder], all waters converged towards the center, resembling an embryo, suddenly extending arms, legs, and a head, transforming into a female Dao Ancestor image full of maternity.

Instantly, the other four supreme demons also began turning toward becoming Dao Ancestors.

After countless years, those five Dao Ancestors, once fallen into decadence, finally truly turned the tide, returning to the Human World!

The five ineffable, mysterious Dao Ancestors slightly nodded toward Zhong Shenxiu and the two, their forms shifted into five mystical lights, merging together.

An even more vast aura swept forth.

It was above the supreme, the ultimate, the eternal, everything...

These five Dao Ancestors, who could originally be seen as avatars of that supreme being, now that Innate Wu Tai achieves unity, they directly transform into that supreme being!

Zhong Shenxiu's eyes leaked a bit of blood, yet he still glimpsed within the endless radiance, an existence like a colossal white giant standing between heaven and earth, striding into the void, vanishing from sight.

Instantly, everything in the Innate Wu Tai World was redefined, shifted onto the safest developmental track...

"This is what supreme is?"

He murmured quietly.

"Hiss... the supreme path is the Supreme Dao Fruit... unfortunately... I am shackled by the origin of my bloodline, easily influenced by the ancestors' path..."

Time's Ouroboros gazed at Zhong Shenxiu: "Though the chances of achieving supremacy are slim, I must admit you possess more opportunities and possibilities than I..."

'Influenced by the path of the supreme?'

Zhong Shenxiu realized, at last comprehending why Time's Ouroboros envied him slightly.
