World Version Updates-Chapter 570 - 342: The Mystery of Immortality! (Part 2)

In contrast, Lu Yan still sits quietly on the supreme throne surrounded by gods, his form perfectly integrated with the entire version of the Three Realms.

Within his eyes, the left like the sun, the right like the moon, their radiance descends upon the earth, nurturing all things.

His aura is so vast, so majestic, as if he is the source of all myths, the endpoint of all faiths, the creator and ruler of everything, the king of kings, the god of gods!

Yet witnessing this scene, which can be described as a miracle, the Main God, about to dissipate completely, suddenly laughed.

The smile was so complex, with genuine amazement at Lu Yan's astounding maneuver, with profound helplessness at the failure of his own plans.

But more than that, it was a kind of icy, bone-chilling sarcasm born from insight into a deeper conspiracy.

"To prove oneself as the Lord of All Heavens, then use the authority of this second Celestial Dao to reinforce and alter the Heavenly Dao of one version... heh, truly a brilliant tactic.

In you, I see a shadow of an old acquaintance."

The somewhat ethereal gaze of the Main God sized up Lu Yan with interest, no longer looking at him as an enemy, but as if admiring a flawless work of art soon to be sacrificed to more ancient deities.

"The one guiding you onto the path of the All Heavens Divine Court should be that... Longevity Celestial Venerable, right?"

Seated upon the divine throne, Lu Yan's expression remained as indifferent as an eternal glacier, with no emotional fluctuation visible in his eyes reflecting sun and moon.

He simply gazed quietly at the Main God, as if watching a soon-to-be-vanished, insignificant illusion.

The Main God seemed unbothered by his silence, casually spreading his now semi-transparent hands, his tone as relaxed as chatting with an old friend.

"Let me guess, the origin should be during the last interlinked Great Collapse version, when I briefly looked upon it and sensed traces of the Longevity Celestial Venerable's intervention.

By some stroke of luck, you thwarted an important scheme of the Longevity Celestial Venerable, making it temporarily impossible for Him to act directly against you, the Unchanging."

"So to prevent you, this most exquisite cake of the universe, from ultimately falling into my hands, He took the initiative to show goodwill towards you, vividly portraying the so-called 'Main God Threat Theory', and 'kindly' pointed you to a broad path for rapid growth, one that could even rival me, the sole being of this world, in a short time — and that is, to forge your own All Heavens Divine Court."

Despite Lu Yan's vast, unmoved Dao heart perfectly integrated into the version of the Three Realms, unprecedented vigilance and chill had already arisen deep within him.

For every word the Main God spoke was as if seen firsthand, not off by a fraction!

This had been a secret pact he reached with a wisp of the Longevity Celestial Venerable's will projection in that sealed Great Collapse version.

Even the main body of the Longevity Celestial Venerable could not have known, and no matter how mighty the Main God's authority, He shouldn't have been aware with such detail, such precision!

Perhaps sensing the internal turmoil hidden beneath Lu Yan's absolutely indifferent exterior, the Main God's smile deepened, the faint hint of mockery becoming all the more evident.

"In truth, He was not wrong.

The All Heavens Divine Court, borrowing the Power of the Second Celestial Dao, truly is the best and quickest means to oppose us, the sole beings of this world.

What you've accomplished in this cyber version perfectly confirms this. One might even say you've exceeded His expectations by far."

"But..." the Main God's tone suddenly shifted, carrying a hint of tease and pity, "He seemed to have missed a crucial point, which He didn't tell you."

He paused, the nearly dissipating figure leaning slightly forward, speaking slowly with a tone as if sharing the universe's most shocking secrets:

"He, the Longevity Celestial Venerable, on the surface controls the Longevity version as the world's sole being.

But among these infinite versions, He has a more ancient and noble title — Emperor of Longevity of the South Pole, Lord of the Four Imperial Heavenly Courts!"

The Four Imperial Heavenly Courts?

These four words, like a thunderous creation echo, for the first time in Lu Yan's still heart lake, stirred immense waves.

"That's right." The Main God captured that fleeting doubt, continuing satisfactorily, "In a past so distant it's beyond tracing, He once collaborated with three other equally ancient and powerful sole beings of the world to establish the original Four Imperial Heavenly Courts.

It can be said that among the infinite versions, all supreme concepts regarding the 'Heavenly Court' originate from their hands."

The Main God's gaze turned profoundly deep, as if revealing a truth buried by the river of time for countless eras.

"The Divine Court and Underworld you created is essentially about consolidating all concepts regarding the 'Underworld' among infinite versions, to finally forge the All Heavens Divine Court, correct?

But have you ever wondered, since the name Underworld could spread through infinite versions, why was there never a true Underworld Divine Court born before your divine court emerged?"

"The reason is simple." The Main God's voice carried a nearly cruel smile, piercing through the void to reach the depths of Lu Yan's soul, "Because the so-called Underworld was, from the beginning, just a subordinate segment under the supreme Heavenly Court, responsible for overseeing the souls!"

"What you consolidated, which seems vast and boundless as the Underworld concept, is essentially a bait intentionally left by the Four Imperial Heavenly Courts in the infinite versions!"

"A sweet lure specifically designed to fish for those gifted prodigies, capable of forging divine courts, with the potential to become Lords of a Divine Court themselves!"

"And you..." The Main God's voice suddenly rose, firmly fixing his gaze on Lu Yan, as if branding this final truth into his Divine Soul, "As a rare, unique Unchanging through the ages, from the moment you set foot on this path, you ceased to be an ordinary fish.

You have long become the... perfect bait in the eyes of the Longevity Celestial Venerable, awaited for countless eras!" 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"With such monumental transformation occurring in this cyber version, especially with you, the Unchanging, taking personal action, the impact of the information echo will be unprecedented!

It will utterly shake the foundation of version update rules, leading to an unprecedented chaos upon the next version update's arrival!"

"At that time, countless sole beings of this world, bound by the version rules for endless ages, will be hopeful of briefly breaking their shackles. Especially the versions you have experienced, the causal links entangled will all manifest."

"And the Longevity Celestial Venerable, who orchestrated all this and waited countless eras, will undoubtedly seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to personally reap the most bountiful fruit He's planted!"

As the words were spoken, the Main God's figure turned extremely faint, nearly transparent.

He didn't mind any change in Lu Yan's demeanor, for He knew His goals had been met.

Everything the Main God conveyed was true; His aim was to make Lu Yan wary, ensuring the Longevity Celestial Venerable wouldn't easily harvest the fruit.

As for the rest, it no longer mattered to the Main God.

With the complete reconstruction of the version barrier, His body had already begun transforming into countless points of brilliant light particles, dispersing between the thoroughly isolated heavenly and earthly realms.

In the final moment before His complete disappearance, He gazed deeply at Lu Yan, unprecedented anticipation burning in those ethereal eyes.

"This is the final battle, an ultimate feast revolving around the dispute for the Unchanging's belonging, possibly the only opportunity in countless ages for this realm to ascend to the sole of all worlds—no one will refuse to participate!

And I will bring the Main God Space, descending with my true body, stepping once more onto the battlefield!"
