Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

"Great Schism, in the end, it has come to this step."

Shen Yuan couldn't help but reveal a complex expression in his eyes.

His true initiation into cultivation began with completing the novice quest of the Artificial Intelligence System.

At that time, as a beginner in cultivation, he sought out the location of the Falling Clouds Sect for his novice quest, only to learn from the grotto heavens ruins that the sect had perished millennia ago due to the Human Emperor's Absolute Heaven and Earth Passage enacted by Great Yin's Mortal Emperor.

Back then, Shen Yuan couldn't comprehend the motives behind the Human Emperor's Absolute Heaven and Earth Passage; he simply believed that there must be some secrets involved.

In the process of subsequent explorations, Shen Yuan learned that Great Yin's Mortal Emperor had become a puppet of the Dusk Realm, and he started to sense that something was amiss, but he did not delve deeper.

As he faced the threat of the Dusk Realm head-on and extrinsic forces gradually forced him to this step, Shen Yuan realized that the so-called Human Emperor's Absolute Heaven and Earth Passage was merely a superficial appearance known to the outside world.

The truth of it all was that, millennia before his return, he had initiated the Great Schism to prevent the Thousand-Eyes Divine Monarch from encroaching on the Primal Chaos Realm, severing its connections with all other realms.

As Shen Yuan's command was issued, history and the future closed their loop at this moment, and he suddenly felt a thrum in his heart; his cultivation realm, which was just a step away from the Immortal Realm, showed faint signs of breakthrough.

Keep in mind, Shen Yuan's goal wasn't the Heavenly Immortal Realm, but rather, he was attempting to ascend in one step to become a Major Heavenly Immortal.

The loosening of his realm presaged the possibility of Shen Yuan accomplishing this unprecedented feat, with the key lying within the Great Schism.

Within the Imperial Capital, Ji Zhaoyang and the ministers and nobles also realized the gravity of the situation.

Their cultivation was not weak, and they could faintly perceive the splendid firmament above and the inexplicable strangeness and horror that seemed to be behind it.

Shen Yuan had just slain an Eternal Golden Immortal, and the situation that could make him so cautious, even resorting to the Great Schism to prevent the threat from spreading, must be hiding a tremendous threat.

The will of Great Yin Imperial Dynasty, from within the Imperial Capital, spread rapidly across the Jiu Province region, and Void Refining True Monarchs transformed into messengers, tearing through space to traverse tens of thousands of miles just to dispatch and convey information at the fastest speed.

Array Masters venerated by the Imperial Court began to adjust the Mortal Path Array under Shen Yuan's guidance, and one by one, the Mortal Path Heavy Weapons that suppressed the Jiu Province region were being sent into the Imperial Capital.

Everything was proceeding vigorously, and naturally, such actions attracted the scrutiny of the grotto heavens and blessed land.

In fact, as soon as the Thousand-Eyes Divine Monarch initiated the information blockade, the powerful Grotto Heavens Sacred Land noticed the aberrations in the Primal Chaos Realm and its severing of connections with the Upper World.

The intense danger concealed in the resplendent starry sky made many Grotto Heavens Sacred Land apprehensive, with even some Immortals from the current times, who were settled in sects, choosing to leave the Primal Chaos Realm and ascend to connect with the Upper Realm Tao Doctrine.

However, whether they were Immortals from the current age, Tao Harmony Taoist Doyens who were intended to guide the ascension, or divine immortals wishing to return to the Heavenly Court, all lost contact as soon as they left the Primal Chaos Realm, a phenomenon that instilled fear in the Grotto Heavens Sacred Land.

And just as an unfathomable great battle was reported from the direction of the Imperial Capital, coupled with the Great Yin Imperial Dynasty's mobilization in preparation for the Great Schism, this instantly aroused the curiosity of the grotto heavens and blessed land.

The grotto heavens and blessed land attempted to inquire numerous times but were met with obstruction from Great Yin's side. All Sky Patrol Fleets and Great Void Fleets patrolled the Jiu Province region, and the Mortal Path Array was constantly activated to prevent any accidents from occurring.

Shen Yuan was well aware that if the grotto heavens and blessed land learned of the matter of the Great Schism, there would undoubtedly be voices of opposition.

Even if they were told that the Thousand-Eyes Divine Monarch was lurking outside the Primal Chaos Realm, those old relics would not be willing to sever the connection with the Upper Realm's Tao Orthodoxy, stubbornly believing that a powerful expert from Upper Realm would descend to quell the chaos.

Until the very last moment, these old relics would not give up.

In the face of the crisis, Shen Yuan had no time to quibble with these old relics and decisively imposed an information blockade, using the power of Great Yin's Imperial Court to suppress any possible opposition.

With the full support of the Central Mortal Path Imperial Court, one by one, the Mortal Path Heavy Weapons that suppressed the Jiu Province region were brought into the Imperial City.

These symbols of the Human Clan's glorious history, imbued with powerful humanity fate, were brought into the incomplete ancient bronze cauldron.

Although the Dusk Realm had, through the ancient bronze cauldron's contingency plan, dealt a sneaky blow to Great Yin's Mortal Emperor and turned him into a puppet, this ancient bronze cauldron was undeniably a Mortal Path Treasure of the Human Clan. If it were to carry the humanity fate, it would become a Mortal Path Heavy Weapon that bolstered the Imperial Court's foundations.

Shen Yuan presided within the Imperial City, igniting the ancient bronze cauldron with the Fire of Humanity, and melting the Mortal Path Heavy Weapons that suppressed the Jiu Province region into it to fill the gaps in the cauldron.

During this process, the fate of the Jiu Province region converged within this giant cauldron, nurturing an unprecedented Mortal Path Treasure.

The process lasted for three full days; during this time, the Thousand-Eyes Divine Monarch's encroachment on the Primal Chaos Realm intensified, to the point that even cultivators in seclusion heard the Divine Monarch's revered name.

That eerie encroachment was shaking the rules of the Primal Chaos Realm.

Shen Yuan, however, remained unfazed. Seizing the chance of the Mortal Path Treasure being forged, Shen Yuan took the time to visit the Mount Tai Lord's dojo.

This time, he came bearing the pantheon position of the Mortal Emperor and, accompanied by Bull Head, entered the Mount Tai Palace directly.

...

Outside the Mount Tai Palace, enveloped in Highest Heaven aura, Bull Head stood respectfully to one side, waiting for Shen Yuan's next move.
