Lu Yu couldn't do it initially, but he found he was different; he merged with this land, transforming it into part of his body.
Or rather, part of his body.
Within the galaxy inside him, there appeared a reddish galaxy occupying two-thirds of the space—that was the stellar cells merged with this world.
In a sense, Lu Yu's approach was no different from the Sacred Ancestor Realm.
The Sacred Ancestor Realm essentially merges oneself with the world, controlling it, akin to becoming the administrator of this world, the GM of the game.
As long as they're in this world, those of the Sacred Ancestor Realm are invincible.
The battles between Sacred Ancestor Realms are essentially struggles for world permissions.
Those with higher permissions in the Sacred Ancestor Realm can control more world rules, and their strength is naturally more formidable.
But because they become one with the world, if the world faces destruction, they can't leave; they will live and die with the world.
Now, Lu Yu is equivalent to the administrator, the GM, of this small world.
The original creator of this small world, the Manifestation Realm demon, should have the highest authority, and even if someone chose to merge with this small world, the authority gained would still be below it.
Yet Lu Yu holds the most original authority—Nine Heavens and Earth, the origin of the world, the key to unlocking the essence.
The Nine Heavens and Earth is the source of the great world; separating a small piece to serve as the essence of the small world is more than enough.
He established a foundation for this once rootless world, allowing it to grow continuously, eventually becoming a real world, not just a mystical realm.
With such a change, Lu Yu instead became the creator of this world, acquiring the highest authority in this realm.
In this world, he is the Sacred Ancestor.
The Manifestation Realm demon also seemed to realize this, its expression very unpleasant.
No longer could this be described as a peerless genius; Lu Yu would become the biggest obstacle for the demon to devour this world.
The Manifestation Realm demon's body ignited itself, and as Lu Yu watched its body gradually turn into light points and disappear, he remained indifferent.
He understood the opponent's intent; the Manifestation Realm demon wanted to burn its life to convey what had happened here, letting the demons know there was such an extremely dangerous human.
The strong of the Sacred Ancestor Realm in the Divine Martial World can only mobilize the power of the Divine Martial World and be Sacred Ancestors there.
Lu Yu can devour small worlds, even great worlds, and eventually, he could become the Sacred Ancestor of the entire world, owning the highest authority of the entire world.
Far more terrifying than Martial Cultivators of the Sacred Ancestor Realm.
Martial Cultivators of the Sacred Ancestor Realm see a world where they can seize authority and then enter to seize authority.
Lu Yu's approach is to use the world essence he created to replace the original world essence, fundamentally defining himself as the creator.
One is a selective occupation, the other is a devouring expansion.
Wuya Zi took another path, making himself an independent world, removing himself from the scope of the world.
Even if someone seizes the world's authority, they can't alter his part—meaning the power of the Sacred Ancestor Realm can't affect him.
Likewise, Wuya Zi can only restrain the Sacred Ancestor Realm and cannot truly oppose it.
He is like an unchangeable BUG, always existing, the administrator can't deal with, but however strong this BUG is, it cannot oppose the administrator who controls the world's authority.
At most, it can only restrain.
Seeing the Manifestation Realm demon disappearing into light, Lu Yu's mind stirred, changing world rules, sealing off the entire world, not allowing any matter or information to enter or exit the small world.
At the edge of the small world, a layer of hazy light appeared, which was the information that the Manifestation Realm demon wanted to transmit out.
Knowing its purpose, Lu Yu certainly wouldn't let it succeed.
Lu Yu gently pressed down with his hand, and all the hazy light disappeared, the information obliterated.
...
Above the river of time, a black river spanned across, and several figures emerged, gazing towards the future of the time river.
Although the information of the Manifestation Realm demon wasn't transmitted, a sense of understanding arose within them, realizing that a great threat had appeared in the world.
They strained to see as far into the future of the time river as possible, to identify what the threat was, foresee its source, and eliminate it now.
A hazy figure blocked their sight, obscuring the future, making it impossible for them to see clearly.
"Hmph~" A light snort echoed, the sound seemingly crossing time, coming from the future, heavily impacting the figures.
Just a light snort, and the indescribable figures seemed seriously injured, their forms dissipating, on the verge of disappearing.
A force surged from the black river behind them, helping stabilize their forms.
They bowed their heads, daring not to look towards the future; a mighty existence resided there.
Soon, they turned their attention to the past, trying to find traces that could reveal the living being potentially threatening the demon lineage.
Boundless black water poured into their vision, painting the past into a smear of black, muddying it.
Not even a trace could be found; the past was erased, leaving only the present.
The figures, like snow meeting the scorching sun, quickly melted away, black water seeping out, their forms dissolving and disappearing.
Their consciousness merged in the black river, unable to manipulate the time river; they had to find a way to eliminate the threat in the "now."
A special fluctuation spread from the black river, dispersing to every corner of the world, transmitting orders from the black river to all demons.
"Find and eliminate the potential threat!"
Meanwhile, they also began preparing to awaken the supreme being within the black river.
Receiving instructions from above the time river, the demons' assaults became increasingly fierce, subjecting those on the World Wall Battlefield to unprecedented pressure.
The last time, five Sacred Ancestor Realm demons appeared simultaneously, causing enormous damage on the World Wall Battlefield, with over thirty Manifestation Realm entities falling.
If not for the large number of Manifestation Realm members of the demon race joining the World Wall Battlefield recently, it might have already been breached.
This time, the Sacred Ancestor Realm demons have surrounded the World Wall Battlefield.
Kong Wuji stood in the void, his left arm gone, a result of the Sacred Ancestor Realm's power reaching him.
His left arm had disappeared from the world. Even though he was of the Manifestation Realm, he could not regenerate what had disappeared.
This was not a matter of restoration, but of creation.
Unless a Sacred Ancestor acts, his left arm can never regenerate.
This is the power of the Sacred Ancestor Realm, absolutely crushing beings below it.
Looking at the Sacred Ancestor Realm demons crowding the World Wall Battlefield, Kong Wuji was numbed by shock, never imagining he would see a day when the Sacred Ancestor Realm stood "squeezed" together.
Each Sacred Ancestor Realm demon was vast like stars, more than a dozen star-like colossal Sacred Ancestor Realm demons orbiting the Divine Martial World.
It looked like they were squeezed together, seeming somewhat crowded.
To witness such strong experts of the Sacred Ancestor Realm packed together, such a once-in-a-lifetime sight, Kong Wuji felt he could die without regret.
It wasn't that he didn't try; the enemy was simply too powerful.
Emperor of Great Zhou took up sacred arms in battle, though its radiance was dim.
The demon fire phoenix appeared, its aura slightly weakened.
Just when everyone thought defeat was inevitable, a divine light appeared out of nowhere, and a figure emerged from the light.
Seeing the figure, the Great Zhou Emperor's bloodline trembled, not out of fear, but joy and excitement.
The sacred weapon in his hand shone brightly again, more dazzling than ever.
After the founding Sacred Ancestor of the Great Zhou Dynasty appeared, several more light pillars appeared one after another in the void, each representing a Sacred Ancestor Realm powerhouse.
There were ancient ones, human sacred ancestors waking from legends, and demon sacred ancestors stepping out from forbidden grounds with overwhelming might...
The emergence of the Sacred Ancestors shattered everyone's worldview; they thought those legendary beings had long since faded away with time, never expecting to witness their resurgence.
"Ancestor..."
An aged human, tears streaming, trembled with excitement, kneeling in reverence.
