Chapter 630 - 617: Division
"Causality Dao Ancestor is essentially at the Universe Level."
Alkaid perceived the divine peculiarity of this "Dao Lord" level Dao Fruit.
If he collected all shares of the Causality Dao at this moment, he could become the new Causality Dao Ancestor through the power of this Dao Fruit.
Unfortunately...
The Nine Great Sovereigns and the Master of Primordial Yi were watching closely.
He could only absorb as much power from the Great Void Path and Time Great Dao as his limit allowed. If he absorbed the power of the Causality Dao too...
The Nine Great Sovereigns and the Master of Primordial Yi would definitely intervene to stop him.
Should that happen, the fires of this great battle might shift from the Destiny Dao Ancestor to him.
Though that wouldn't really matter...
But he hadn't had his fill of the spectacle yet.
He didn't want to bow out so soon.
Pondering, he had already begun incorporating the ultimate insights of the Causality Dao with his true self.
With the final enlightenment just within reach, his true self, dwelling in the Chaos World, seemed to have an epiphany.
At this moment, his entire world area was already no lesser in scale than the Ancient Immortal Realm.
At most, the complexity within it couldn't be compared to that of the Ancient Immortal Realm.
Countless planes layered upon each other, with the main planes appearing like star domains, filling his vision.
Each plane could support the development of a force similar to the Gate of Eternal Life or the Sun and Star Sect.
Each plane alone was capable of cultivating beings at the True Immortal Level.
And such planes...
Numbered in the billions.
With these planes and their foundations, plus the Three Thousand Great Daos and the Master of Heavenly Dao "copied" from the Ancient Immortal Realm and the Chaotic Origin Realm...
Although their Three Thousand Great Daos could not match those of the Ancient Immortal Realm, and their Master of Heavenly Dao could not match the Master of Primordial Yi of the Chaotic Origin Realm, the combination allowed him to face any one of these two worlds alone with a fair chance of victory.
Yet, this was not his limit.
As he digested the information of the Causality Dao one by one, with a thought of his Mind Thought, all the planes in the Chaos World trembled slightly.
Every cause has its effect.
When one plane serves as the "cause", another plane as the "effect" will inevitably be born.
Through this method, the gestation of planes became not a slow evolution but a division based on the layer of "causality."
It was like exponential growth in binary.
...
The Nine Major Groups.
As the Gate of Cause and Effect was breached, the camp of the Chaotic Origin Realm plunged into a sea of joy.
Everyone cheered for this great victory.
Even the Nine Great Sovereigns were no exception.
Each sovereign wore a bright smile on their face.
"Very good, very good! Yu Xiao, you did very well, indeed you didn't let us down."
The Master of Creation gave full encouragement to Alkaid.
"Thank you for the praise, Sovereign. So, do we continue to shake the Gate of Destiny next?"
Alkaid looked toward another direction: "The Destiny Dao is the foremost among the Three Thousand Great Daos. The Gate of Destiny, transformed by the Destiny Dao Ancestor, will be key to the war between the Chaotic Origin Realm and the Ancient Immortal Realm. Once this battle is decided, the war that has lasted millions of years between these two realms should finally conclude."
"Let's not rush, rest for a period."
The Master of Creation waved his hand.
Alkaid was somewhat surprised, "Isn't this precisely the time to break the Gate of Destiny while all the Immortal Spirits are aggressively rallying?"
"Rest assured, we have plans in mind. Take a rest for now, and moreover, you've made significant contributions; your rewards will not be small."
As soon as the Master of Creation finished speaking, he quickly turned his attention to the other sovereigns.
In their communication, these sovereigns issued various orders.
Instantly, the propaganda channels of the Nine Major Groups were fully activated.
Under their well-prepared propaganda scheme, the credit for breaking the Gate of Cause and Effect was almost entirely attributed to the Nine Great Sovereigns.
Let alone Alkaid, even the Master of Primordial Yi was only a sideshow in this propaganda campaign, cooperating with the actions of the Nine Great Sovereigns.
Some statements even compared the efficiency of the Master of Primordial Yi in leading the attack on the Ancient Immortal Realm with the efficiency of the Nine Great Sovereigns leading the attack on the Gate of Cause and Effect.
Of course, the comparisons were made subtly.
They fully praised the ability of the Master of Primordial Yi and his fair and just stance, but also stated that when confronting external wars, one must exhibit enough determination and boldness to unite all the forces of the Chaotic Origin Realm to deliver a fatal blow to the opponent.
Otherwise, if always slow and advocating equal benefits for all, various problems might arise.
War is intrinsically a release of wild nature, and swiftly destroying the enemy is the highest goal.
Therefore, the Master of Primordial Yi is suitable for holding forts, for governing, for development.
But real external wars and violent institutions are better handled by the Nine Major Groups and the Nine Great Sovereigns.
The defeat of the Gate of Cause and Effect, which had stymied the Master of Primordial Yi for millions of years, is proof.
After these opinions spread, although not everyone agreed, through the relentless propaganda and brainwashing by the Nine Major Groups, and the ironclad fact, the prestige of the Nine Great Sovereigns still reached an all-time high.
In the Virtual Immortal Realm, praises for the Nine Major Groups filled the air.
Even forces that originally disliked the domineering nature of the Nine Major Groups and were antagonistic towards them, were now silently subdued.
Although the Nine Major Groups are arrogant and domineering, in this decisive battle scenario affecting both realms, they are still able to distinguish right from wrong.
As the constant cheers of the Immortal Spirits of the Chaotic Origin Realm continue, the will of all beings is also being influenced, gradually shifting towards the Nine Great Sovereigns.
The control over the Computing Power of the Chaotic Origin Realm gradually fell into the hands of the Nine Great Sovereigns.
Regarding this, the Master of Primordial Yi did not intervene.
Even though many times He understood that this was the Nine Major Groups creating momentum, He still did not block these news.
Fair and just.
This is the principle He must adhere to.
If even He, the personification of the will of all beings, does not abide by these rules, then…
It will be a disaster for the entire Chaotic Origin Realm.
It is precisely because He adheres to this bottom line that ultimately...
The Nine Great Sovereigns gained the upper hand.
For the first time, the control of the Nine Great Sovereigns over the Computing Power of the Chaotic Origin Realm surpassed that of the Master of Primordial Yi.
...
"Well, they are not rushing to break through the Gate of Destiny, but instead they are engaged in ideological propaganda and struggle for power?"
Alkaid watched for a while and gradually understood the reason why the Nine Great Sovereigns postponed their attack on the Gate of Destiny.
For them, breaking through the Gate of Cause and Effect represents the best achievement.
Since there is an achievement, naturally, they want to maximize the credit they can claim.
Once they have reaped these benefits, it won't be too late to deal with the Destiny Dao Ancestor, who is like dry bones in a tomb.
Otherwise, once the Ancient Immortal Realm is completely eradicated, they may not have such a good opportunity to successfully seize power.
"It seems, this kind of propaganda and warming up won't quiet down unless they brainwash all the Immortal Spirits in the Chaotic Origin Realm for thousands of years, making the impression firm."
Alkaid complained speechlessly.
Boring, I want to see blood flow like rivers.
He was still waiting for the counterattack of the Destiny Dao Ancestor, to witness the final battle between the two Great Worlds.
Is there even a halftime break?
Such arrogant self-confidence…
So, they really think they have completely defeated the Ancient Immortal Realm, do they?
At this moment, he almost wished the Destiny Dao Ancestor would immediately jump out and give the Nine Great Sovereigns a tight slap, teaching them how to behave.
But then again, as one of the four Supreme Daos along with the Causality Dao, Great Void Path, and Time Great Dao, even as the foremost of the Four Supreme Ancestors, with the other three Supreme Ancestors eradicated and the Gate of Cause and Effect breached, indeed for the Nine Great Sovereigns, the Master of Primordial Yi, and all the Immortal Spirits of the Chaotic Origin Realm, victory seemed assured.
Opening champagne at halftime isn't right.
But this is already three-quarters through the game.
It's no wonder the Nine Great Sovereigns are relaxed, continuing to shift their focus to power struggles.
Shaking his head, and considering that he had watched the drama up to this point, Alkaid was somewhat reluctant to leave halfway, not seeing the grand finale.
So, he patiently continued watching the Nine Great Sovereigns smugly taking credit, while focusing his spirit on accelerating the fission and derivation of the Causality Dao in the Chaos World across many facets.
And this fission process continued for thousands of years.
With the causality evolution and entanglement within each facet reaching its zenith…
Finally, at a certain moment, numerous facets, each being a "cause," successively "fissioned" out their corresponding "effect" facets!
Instantly, the entire Chaos World seemed to double in size, material, energy, and the influence of the Great Dao—everything exploded twofold.
It was like the GDP of a country not growing at a rate of 5% or even 10% per year, but exploding by 100%!
This abrupt change…
Instantly endowed Alkaid with an incomparable strength.
So strong that it was even indescribable in words.
If previously, he was merely guessing that he might have embarked on a path different from the Chaotic Origin Realm and Ancient Immortal Realm.
Then at this moment, he could officially declare to all beings...
Well, at this time, the only beings qualified to converse with him were the Destiny Dao Ancestor and the Master of Primordial Yi, the Nine Great Sovereigns seemed somewhat inadequate.
And at this moment, he could boldly tell the Destiny Dao Ancestor and the Master of Primordial Yi that through learning from the Ancient Immortal Realm and Chaotic Origin Realm, he had truly surpassed them and carved out a new, much stronger path!
Alkaid's heart was filled with heartfelt joy.
He had never felt as light-hearted as today.
The old crises of the war between the Ancient Immortal Realm and the Chaotic Origin Realm, with the fission brought by the power of the Causality Dao at this moment, completely dissipated like smoke.
He just needed a few more millennia to master the increased power, and then he would be fully capable of stopping the two worlds from continuing their fight.
Like an elder brother, he could hold one with each hand, pushing them down to sit and properly discuss issues of peaceful coexistence.
"No, it seems still not enough."
Alkaid slightly reined in his thoughts: "While I could defeat both of them by then, what if... their temperaments are fierce, and they choose death over subjugation?"
He pondered for a moment.
Controlling his power, he indeed could defeat the cooperation of the Ancient Immortal Realm and the Chaotic Origin Realm, but if these two worlds choose to self-destruct together…
He would still be powerless to stop that.
"For safety's sake, let's fission one more time! Breaking through the Gate of Destiny would take at least thirty-five to fifty thousand years, even by a thirty-thousand-year estimate, fissioning and seizing control could still continue for two or three more rounds."
After two or three more rounds of fission, by then, with the disparity in strength between both sides, the Chaotic Origin Realm and the Ancient Immortal Realm wouldn't even be capable of mutual destruction.
What do you think?
