It was decided, the Sacred Buddha Void would merge with the Blue Star Void, becoming one and developing together, striving for the glorious revival of the Nine Rings!
The news caused an uproar in all realms.
"Is the Sacred Buddha insane?"
"While the Blue Star Void was formed from fragments of the Heavenly Realm, in what way is the current Blue Star Void worthy of fusion with the Sacred Buddha Void?"
"Damn it, the Sacred Buddha must have been bewitched!"
"I'm going to go ask him in person why he's doing this?"
".........."
Sacred Buddha Void.
Sacred Buddha Realm.
On the colossal Mount Sumeru, powerhouses from all realms gathered.
The Sacred Buddha smiled, "I already know why you've all come, but do you understand how many years we have been stuck at the peak of the Da Luo realm?"
As his words fell, the assembled powerhouses fell silent.
One of the God Lords, with the phantom image of a divine kingdom behind him, where the figures of praying believers could be dimly seen.
He spoke, "Since the Nine Rings shattered, we have been somewhat fortunate, breaking through from the early Da Luo stage to the peak Da Luo. Yet, for billions of years, we have made no progress whatsoever."
He sighed as he spoke.
Before reaching the peak Da Luo level, they might not have progressed at lightning speed, but they could still grow stronger.
But now, it was different.
No matter how hard they tried, they could not break through the barrier. For billions of years, they had gained nothing, and the torment was immense.
"Alas, with the shattering of the Nine Rings and the disappearance of the three Sovereigns, this world seems to have sealed off any possibility of further advancement."
The one speaking was an old Daoist with an immortal bearing.
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a resonance and looked towards the Sacred Buddha.
The Sacred Buddha smiled, "You all understand my intentions. You may go back."
The others nodded in understanding.
With a wave of his hand, Buddhist clouds surged, and the scene before their eyes changed. They had already left Mount Sumeru.
They exchanged glances and sighed, "Alas, now that the Heavenly Realm has reappeared and the Nine Rings are showing themselves again, it is not necessarily a bad thing for us."
"That is true. It's just that the one in charge of the Nine Rings is a nobody."
"This 'nobody' you speak of has fifty billion clones, each no weaker than you or I. I'd say he might even be a reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor."
"Alright, alright. With the Nine Rings reappearing, we will have opportunities to seize a sliver of fortune. From now on, we are in competition."
"That is not entirely accurate. Why don't we join forces?"
"There's no need. This Daoist shall depart first!"
Without any intention of forming an alliance, they clasped their hands in farewell and dispersed.
In the Sacred Buddha Void.
The Sacred Buddha watched their retreating figures and shook his head.
He murmured to himself, "I have made my intentions clear. It is up to them now. Opportunity knocks but once, and time waits for no one. I hope they too can seize this chance."
He then turned his gaze towards the direction of Blue Star.
"My realm is one of the Four Brahma Heavens of the Heavenly Realm, the twenty-ninth heaven, the Unsurpassed Constant Joy Heaven. Blue Star is a fragment of the thirty-sixth heaven, the Great Dao Heaven. The Great Dao Heaven is the strongest heaven in the Heavenly Realm and the core of its principles. The awakening of the Great Dao Heaven is a signal."
"The Nine Rings are about to reappear!"
At this thought, even his eternally unchanging heart stirred.
"I hope that day comes soon!"
...
On the other side.
Those who had gone to the Sacred Buddha Void to demand an explanation also fell silent.
This made those who wanted to know the inside story antsy.
However, they eventually received the latest news.
[It has been revealed by informed sources that the Sacred Buddha's ultimate goal is to recreate the glory of the Nine Rings, to utilize their power to break through the bottleneck and ascend to immortality!]
The news sent shockwaves through all the realms.
Even those hidden forces that were plotting to seize Blue Star showed expressions of astonishment.
Imperial Realm!
In the imperial palace.
The strongest being in this realm, Emperor Yun, upon hearing this news, roared, "Coward!"
Someone asked, "Your Majesty, with the Sacred Buddha acting in this manner, what should we do?"
Emperor Yun snorted, "With the Sacred Buddha joining the Blue Star faction, it will be extremely difficult for us to seize Blue Star again."
There was something he didn't say, a thought hidden in his heart.
His realm was not an ordinary world.
It was also a fragment of the Heavenly Realm.
This secret was known only to their royal lineage.
Upon learning of Blue Star, he had conceived the idea of annexing it.
Unexpectedly, the Sacred Buddha Realm had intervened.
"My Imperial Realm is closer to the Blue Star Void. Issue my decree, dispatch thirty million world-destroying troops, and seize Blue Star!"
"Yes!"
The decree was issued.
The entire imperial machinery began to operate.
As an empire, his word could cause the entire void to spin rapidly.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Shouts of killing erupted from the army.
The general raised his long spear and roared, "We have trained soldiers for a thousand years for this moment! It is time for you to repay the Emperor's grace!"
"March!"
Rumble!!!
The army advanced towards Blue Star.
...
Blue Star.
Giants left Blue Star and traveled to the Sacred Buddha Void.
Blue Star became increasingly prosperous.
More and more powerhouses from various worlds gathered on Blue Star, some for business, others to gather intelligence.
In short, Blue Star became bustling and lively.
Months passed in the blink of an eye.
Since he had ruled the entire void, the death of beings in this void would grant him a portion of upgrade points.
Therefore, even if he did nothing, he could still accumulate a large number of upgrade points.
The few months had significantly increased his upgrade points.
"After busy months, it's time to rest. Going home!"
The next moment, he vanished from the void and returned to his small courtyard.
He lay on a chair, leisurely sipping a cup of tea.
"It's always most comfortable at home," he said with a smile.
A flash of light appeared, and Lin Fan sat on the chair opposite him.
He also took a sip of tea like Lin Yu and said, "Big brother, you're living quite a leisurely life. I've been exhausted."
"Isn't there no world fusion work right now? What are you complaining about?" Lin Yu retorted.
Lin Fan shook his head, "Big brother, I am a Dao Integrator now. My senses are extremely sharp. I am constantly receiving malevolence from all directions."
"It's making me close to a nervous breakdown."
Lin Yu said upon hearing this, "Fine, you've had a tough time. Tell me, what kind of malevolence are you sensing, and from where?"
Lin Fan's interest piqued when he heard Lin Yu was willing to listen to him vent.
"Hehe, it's good that you, big brother, are willing to listen," he said with a grin.
Lin Yu said sternly, "Stop the nonsense and speak quickly. I still have to go manufacture giants later. I'm busy."
"Big brother, I've recently sensed at least five to six hundred instances of malevolence," he paused and continued, "The most intense malevolence is not far from us, and it's continuously approaching Blue Star."
"Approaching?" Lin Yu asked.
Lin Fan nodded, a wry smile on his face, "Yes, it's approaching. I feel like they are almost at Blue Star. This malevolence is extremely strong, making me tremble with fear."
