Chapter 2696 Reality Surpasses Myth and Legend

“The Sixth Level Quasi-Immortal Forbidden…”

“It is complete.”

Jiang Ding lightly stroked the Taiqing Flying Sword in his hand, carefully sensing the incomparably intricate Great Dao patterns within, as though they were sketching out the entire cosmic tableau of the Dharma-Ending City Age.

“The sharpness of the blade has been enhanced by quite a bit.”

“However, it has not undergone a qualitative change.”

“The qualitative change should occur at the Seventh Level Quasi-immortal prohibition. It is estimated to require a mere million years. At that time, the Taiqing Flying Sword will possess power comparable to the Seven-character Immortal Scripture. Even if a Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor advances to the Seven-character, I will be able to easily defeat them. This is the edge of war.”

Jiang Ding murmured to himself.

As for whether the Forbidden Zone Emperors might possibly raise their own Lifebound Immortal Treasures to the Seventh Level Quasi-Immortal Forbidden within a million years?

There is no possibility whatsoever.

Now, the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor sits in command at the center of the Endless Starry Sky, taking the Supreme Coin as law, converging the world’s most top-tier floods of wealth, the most top-tier Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure and industrial products. Only such a colossal heap of manpower and material resources can raise a Treasure to the Seventh Level Quasi-immortal prohibition within a million years.

This is the terrifying gap of financial power; all the Emperors are suppressed.

“Our advantage grows ever more stable.”

“And the Human Race Saint Crown is presently influencing the Endless Starry Sky…”

Jiang Ding closed his eyes, quietly comprehending the influence of Human Dao Fortune, then casually drew hundreds of millions of points in the void, and next lifted a great cloud of dust.

He did not use any Divine Sense power, nor rule power—he simply stirred up a sheet of dust.

The three daughters of the Yueyin Ancient Emperor had been watching the green-clothed youth all along; at this moment, their pupils slightly dilated, revealing a look of bewildered confusion.

Among this dust, more than half of the grains actually fell precisely onto those points in the void, not off by a hair.

Yet, they clearly had not sensed the emergence of any power at all.

Just like that, relying solely on coincidence, it was entirely accomplished. The meaning contained within is enormously profound.

“So this is Destiny?”

“It is truly abstruse.”

Jiang Ding nodded slightly.

The Destiny of the Immortal Dao Universe, in a single phrase, is that random events are not truly random, but pseudo-random. All manner of random events are in fact influenced by Human Race Destiny, Phoenix Destiny, True Dragon Fortune, Heavenly Dao Destiny, and other Destinies; while Heavenly Dao Destiny treats all things as straw dogs, treating each living being equally, and generally does not interfere in much.

It is clan Destiny that usually plays the major roles in the cosmos.

And now, the Human Race Heavenly Dao Fortune has successfully suppressed the Destinies of all races, and rules the world.

This is the function of the Human Race Saint Crown: to turn various random events into pseudo-random, more heavily biased toward the Human Race Saint Emperor’s pseudo-random.

Such pseudo-random Destiny events usually only play a role of gilding the lily, and are hard to reverse the overarching trend—but this gilding is truly extraordinarily powerful.

At this very moment, Jiang Ding distinctly felt that throughout the Immortal Dynasty, in all places where the Human Race constitutes the overwhelming majority of the population, the efficiency of all agricultural production, industrial production, and Immortal Path research had increased considerably—without any material changes or changes in organizational systems, it had simply increased out of thin air.

Especially in Immortal Path research and exploration, those research projects that rely on luck saw their success rates greatly increase.

Thus, the efficiency of Immortal Path exploration once again climbed to new heights, breaking through the limits.

The Immortal Path productivity which the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor values above all else has once more seen a breakthrough.

At present, the Supreme Great Sun Immortal Dao Industrial System has already smelted the paths of more than four hundred Ancient Emperors, taking the strengths and compensating the weaknesses, breaking through the productivity limits again and again; Immortal Technology advancing time and time again.

Especially after the Seven-character Immortal Scripture, smelting efficiency has skyrocketed.

It is estimated that in a million years, the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor will be able to preliminarily smelt the paths of more than nine hundred Ancient Emperors in the Supreme Great Sun Domain, yoking all the Ancient Emperors within the domain onto the chariot of shared interest.

“No, that’s not all,”

“There is still another place where Immortal Path productivity can be greatly enhanced.”

Jiang Ding’s thoughts stirred; he recalled a matter.

Authority.

The Authorities of the Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors are of great use; they possess the power of Creation.

For example, the Ancient Emperor of the Sun possesses the Sun Authority, and by using the Sun Authority to influence the Great Sun, this can not only be used in war, but also in farming, in industrial smelting, in construction projects—its applications are vast.

And the Huang Yan Ancient Emperor’s Thick Earth Path Authority is practically a naturally-born Authority for farming and engineering;

Moreover, the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor’s End of Dharma Authority can now reverse some cosmic cycles: applied negatively, it can lower the Spiritual Energy, Spiritual, and rule activity level of the Endless Starry Sky by one tier, repressing an Immortal Dao Prosperity; applied positively, it can push the Golden Era cycle closer.

There is also the Nine-leaf Sword Emperor’s Divine Soul Authority…

The Undying Ancient Emperor’s Six Paths Reincarnation Authority…

These Authorities, as long as they are not interfered with by other Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors, can influence the Star Sky Heavenly Dao of the Endless Starry Sky, allowing some adjustments to be made to the entire Immortal Dao Universe!

This is the terror of Authority.

In the past, though the Authorities of the Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors were indeed terrifying, due to various factors they could not affect the Endless Starry Sky, and were only applied in war and slaughter—this was an enormous waste.

The Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor cannot tolerate such a thing.

“Soft persimmons,”

“Let the Ministry of Internal Affairs issue an initiative on the Authorities of the Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors.”

Jiang Ding spoke softly: “Each domain must establish a Rotating Duty Star-Gazing Platform; apart from myself, all Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors must take turns on duty once every hundred thousand years, assuming responsibility for combing through all Authorities in the Endless Starry Sky, informing each Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor of the methods of using their Authority, the degree of use, specific locales, and so forth.”

In different regions and different worlds, the environmental requirements are not the same.

For instance, in a world rich in mineral output, the influence of the Thick Earth Path needs to be strengthened, Thick Earth nurturing all things, producing more Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, while other Authorities such as Sun Authority, Divine Soul Authority, Qingmu Authority, and so on must have their influence weakened.

Further, if it is an agricultural world, then the Authorities of Thick Earth, Sun, Yue Yin, etc. must be reasonably regulated.

Only the Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors are capable of these tasks.

This is part of the commitment the Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors made to the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor: they would serve for one million years; they cannot refuse.

“Yes!”

The Fusang Empress accepted the command, unable to help but sigh:

“Your Majesty,”

“A Rotating Duty Star-Gazing Platform… this already bears the meteorological aura of the legendary Heavenly Court.”

In legend, the Heavenly Court has four gods of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning. When an Emperor’s decree is issued, they can finely regulate when and how many inches of rain will fall in some particular place, leaving all in awe.

Yet the present Endless Starry Sky goes a step further, with numerous Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors using Great Dao Authority directly to influence the world!

Reality is simply more advanced than myth!

“Hahaha!”

“This shows that we have not taken the wrong path!”

Jiang Ding was also extremely joyful, and said: “We have always said that the Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors are Near Immortal, close to Immortal, yet it has always been in theory. Now we have truly turned one mythical legend after another into reality, and even made reality surpass myth.”

“Without a doubt, this is the real manifestation of our approaching the Immortal.”
