Buzz~ 

A crack appeared in the sky, and from it stepped a figure billions of feet tall. Standing in the void, it did not seem out of place, as if it had existed there for eternity. 

Laws surrounded the figure, the rhythm of the Dao flowing around it, brilliant colors radiating in all directions, and dazzling immortal light surging out. The endless void shattered, and the aura of destruction filled the universe. 

Where its gaze fell, an overwhelming pressure descended like the heavens collapsing. 

"Ah~" 

The creatures of Jingzhao trembled, unwilling and despairing cries echoing across the land. 

The weak had their bodies explode in an instant, turning into blood mist. Even those who had reached the Immortal Realm could not resist the overwhelming pressure. It was as if they were burdened by the weight of the heavens, crushed to the ground, unable to move an inch. 

Only those with profound cultivation could look directly at the towering and vast figure, yet their hearts were still filled with endless despair, not even daring to think of resisting. 

Because they all understood what that billions-of-feet-tall manifestation represented. 

A Da Luo Golden Immortal! 

An ultimate powerhouse of heaven and earth! 

This was simply not an existence they could resist. Even escape was a luxury. 

If not for the fact that it was not intentionally targeting anyone, they too would have been crushed under the boundless power contained in that gaze. 

This was the sorrow of the weak, who could only helplessly hope for the mercy of fate. 

But fate showed them no mercy. 

Or rather, their fate was destined to be like this. 

To die today and become nourishment for the other side to grow even stronger. 

The towering figure, exuding boundless divine might, held a cold and icy gaze, but deep within its eyes was intense excitement. 

It raised its hand and pressed down. Boundless immortal light surged, the power of destruction permeated the universe, and the void shattered into fragments. The immeasurable mana made heaven and earth tremble. 

The massive hand froze time and space. It was like the firmament, or perhaps an apocalyptic millstone, pressing down on the countless despairing creatures below. 

Everything was like a bubble. 

Under the hand, the creatures of Jingzhao had their bodies instantly explode into countless blood mists, dyeing the skies red. 

The blood mist turned into nothingness in an instant. 

Their existence didn't even affect the colossal hand in the slightest as it continued to descend upon the vast and boundless land below. 

Boom~ 

In an instant, time and space collapsed, the heavens and the earth shattered, countless chains of laws were broken, and innumerable spatial rifts spread across the void. 

Mountains and rivers spanning billions of miles disintegrated in an instant, turning to dust. 

Everything returned to silence! 

At the same time, the billions-of-feet-tall manifestation suddenly burst out with an infinite gravitational force. Like an ultimate black hole, it devoured the energy essence transformed from the creatures of Jingzhao and the shattered mountains and rivers. 

The manifestation grew even more condensed and grand. Its aura climbed higher and higher, and its immeasurable immortal light filled the heavens and the earth with divine might. 

At that moment, an overbearing and unparalleled voice, as cold as death itself and piercing to the soul, resounded through the heavens and the earth. 

"Kunxu Immortal, you dare cross the Silent Dao Battlefield to commit such a monstrous crime in my Evergreen Immortal Realm? Then stay here forever!" 

As the voice echoed, a pale finger, filled with the dense aura of death and representing the ultimate destination of all living beings, pierced through time and space and descended. 

"Heavenly Emperor, save me!" 

"Boom~" 

Space collapsed, time ceased, all laws perished, and the Great Dao of Death became the sole existence in the world. 

The Da Luo Golden Immortal, called Kunxu Immortal, who had just been slaughtering the creatures of Jingzhao with contempt for the world, could only let out a cry of terror. 

The billions-of-feet-tall manifestation exploded, endless immortal light shattered, and it illuminated the vast void. 

Just as he had treated the creatures of Jingzhao moments before, the roles were now reversed, and he was utterly powerless to resist. 

However, a Da Luo Golden Immortal, being an existence that had leaped out of the river of time, would not perish completely even under such an irresistible attack. 

The countless fragments of blood and immortal light pierced through space and instantly reassembled. 

The immortal body was reconstructed. 

The billions-of-feet-tall manifestation vanished, replaced by an elderly man with an immortal aura, a slightly pale complexion, and a body shrouded in deathly qi. 

Taking a single step, the Great Dao extended beneath his feet, and he crossed the boundless starry river as if reaching the other shore. 

Without any hesitation, he fled… 

At the same time, 

An immortal sword, imprinted with the majesty of billions of stars, mountains, rivers, and endless living beings, descended from another realm. 

In an instant, it crossed the river of time, pierced through the Silent Dao Battlefield, and stopped the pale finger's owner from making another move. 

Thunder exploded across the heavens and the earth, reverberating endlessly. Countless chains of laws flickered into view, and a heavy, oppressive aura filled the air. 

Helplessness and desolation. 

It was as if the heavens and the earth were raging in powerless fury. 

… 

This was precisely Qin Yu's state of mind at this moment. 

This wasn't just billions of miles of mountains and rivers or the annihilation of the creatures of Jingzhao! 

It was his own flesh and blood being torn away! 

Why was that? 

Because Qin Yu *was* this world, the Heavenly Dao of the Evergreen Immortal Realm! 

In essence, the mountains and rivers were part of his body. From the perspective of the Heavenly Dao, everything in the world was formed from his essence energy. 

The mountains and rivers were, the seas were, the trees and flowers were, and so were all living beings, regardless of their race. 

Anything with form or without, as long as it existed within the world, was made of his essence energy. 

Yet in just a brief moment, the destruction of billions of miles of mountains and rivers and the death of countless creatures of Jingzhao was equivalent to having a piece of flesh forcibly ripped from his body! 

And it had been "swallowed" by someone else. 

It was gone forever… 

Under normal circumstances, this wouldn't have happened. Even if the mountains and rivers were destroyed to nothingness, it wouldn't be true nothingness. They would reverse-transform into the essence energy of the world and return to the realm. 

While there would be some loss, it wouldn't be a complete loss. 

The same applied to the countless creatures. Their blood, flesh, souls, and true spirits would all return to the world. 

Even in the worst-case scenario, where the destruction was caused by beings from within the same world, it would still remain within the "pot" and not be a total loss. The devourer would eventually return everything to the world when they died. 

But this Da Luo Golden Immortal, Kunxu Immortal, was not a being of the Evergreen Immortal Realm. He was a sworn enemy, a being from the Lingxu Immortal Realm, another vast world. 

This was a permanent loss. 

Unless he could completely annihilate Kunxu Immortal within the Evergreen Immortal Realm! 

But for this, Qin Yu held no hope. 

It wasn't because the strong beings of the Evergreen Immortal Realm were weaker… 

In fact, the powerhouses of the Evergreen Immortal Realm were terrifyingly strong and innumerable. 

There were over 100,000 Da Luo Golden Immortals! 

Even without considering the numbers, Kunxu Immortal was only a Da Luo Golden Immortal at the Ninth Heaven. The Evergreen Immortal Realm had over a thousand beings of the same level. 

One-on-one, with the advantage of being on their home turf, they could easily crush him. 

There were also beings who had surpassed the Ninth Heaven, capable of easily killing him! 

The one who acted just now was one of them. 

But Qin Yu knew Kunxu Immortal would not die and would continue to thrive… 

This was the source of Qin Yu's sadness and anger. 

The essence energy from billions of miles of mountains and rivers and the creatures of Jingzhao was but a drop in the ocean for a vast world like this. 

Such a minor loss shouldn't have moved him so much… 

One day ago, after working himself to death from overtime, Qin Yu opened his eyes again and found himself as the Heavenly Dao of this vast world, the Evergreen Immortal Realm. 

At first, he was ecstatic, so excited that he couldn't put it into words. 

From being a mere worker to becoming the supreme Heavenly Dao of a vast world, it felt like a reward greater than saving the universe in a previous life. 

How large is a vast world? 

While it isn't truly infinite, it is unimaginably enormous. 

Using the measurement units of his past life on Earth, it would be measured in light-years, with a "ten thousand" added in front. 

And that's just the size of its mountains and seas, not including everything else! 

The core of the Evergreen Immortal Realm is a continent over a million light-years long and wide at its peak! 

Beyond the continent lies the so-called Endless Void, which is over ten thousand times larger than the landmass and contains countless stars. 

However, most of it had long disappeared, leaving only a few areas maintained by powerhouses as their Dao grounds. 

Beyond the void lies the crystal wall of the world, isolating the destructive chaos energy outside and nurturing countless living beings within. 

How many living beings exist in such a vast world? 

It's simply impossible to count. 

Every moment, every breath, countless beings are born and die. Even as the Heavenly Dao, it is impossible to tally them all. 

As the Heavenly Dao, he should have been the master of all living beings, an unrivaled existence capable of deciding their fates with a single thought. 

But after his initial excitement and surveying the state of the Evergreen Immortal Realm, Qin Yu realized his understanding was entirely wrong. 

Not just wrong—completely and utterly wrong. 

And with that realization came a sense of despair. 

He was not the master of all beings, and the Evergreen Immortal Realm was destined to be annihilated in the endless Sea of Chaos.
