It wasn’t an illusion of the Xuanhuang cultivators, but the sky had really collapsed!
After a brief silence, an unprecedented, thunderous roar echoed throughout the world.
"Ah —!" It was as if their heads had been struck by a blunt weapon, many cultivators saw darkness before their eyes, nearly losing consciousness and fainting.
The buzzing in their ears didn’t subside for half a day.
It was a tremor originating from their Divine Souls, and even blocking their five senses was futile.
Those cultivators who looked up to the sky, without exception, found that the sky seemed within reach.
Moreover, the concentration of Spiritual Energy in the world had clearly dropped significantly.
The storms of Xuan Huang, too, weakened considerably as a portion of the power was drawn from Heaven and Earth.
Most cultivators in the world did not understand the reason behind such terrifying phenomena.
Only those few standing at the pinnacle of Xuanhuang World Power understood what these signs truly signified.

A peculiar space.
Five statues with indistinct faces formed a circle.
The statues looked down, gazing at the center.
There, representing the current Xuan Huang, a glowing cloud floated silently.
The numerous changes in the Xuan Huang World since the battle began were all intricately displayed within the cloud. Find exclusive stories on Freewebnovel
At this moment, as the sky fell and the earth sank, the Xuan Huang cloud also began to move slowly, almost shrinking in size.
"Tsks, this time it’s really cost a lot," a somewhat frivolous female voice suddenly sounded.
"Are we just going to watch? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity..." one of the statues, which suddenly came to life, revealed its true form.
Long hair like silk gracefully fell to the waist.
A slim, white robe tightly enveloped a voluptuous body, yet inexplicably, it left pale thighs exposed.
With a misty gaze, slender fingers placed on the lips, she spoke to the other four statues.
"Why watch? Unless we are to help that mysterious Emperor?" a cold voice emerged from the statue in the Taoist robe.
"I have been enlightened by the Emperor’s Law Transmission of the New Method. The Emperor can be considered my teacher. If possible, I truly wish to help. Alas..." The bookish-looking statue also came to life, raising his head toward the heavens beyond Xuan Huang, sighing lightly.
"The struggle for the Xuanhuang Orthodoxy does not really matter to us. The ambitious nature of the Law Transmission, this unknown Emperor, is likely no kind figure. The Xuan Huang World, and even this Star Sea, are not places to stay long. Our future hopes still lie with Wuyou. Maintaining stability with the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals and the stability of the Xuan Huang World, awaiting the final outcome, that is what we should do. Getting involved in this dispute is not a wise move," declared a statue whose face remained unclear, speaking solemnly.
"Besides... the Law Transmission cannot possibly lose," added that statue.
The gaze of the four statues focused on the Heavenly Sovereign Wuyou, who still seemed to be in slumber.
Sister Zhao spoke somewhat wistfully, "Ah, I wanted to take this opportunity to tease those from the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals. After all, they’re all new faces, so stimulating."
The scholar, Taoist, and the statue with an unclear face pretended not to hear.
"Living within Heaven and Earth really has major flaws. As Xuan Huang World extracted power to assist, I’ve also become much weaker," Sister Zhao covered her mouth with a hand, yawning lazily.
"I’m going back to rest for a bit. Call me if needed."
Before her words finished, Sister Zhao’s stone statue again turned silent.
The scholar statue chuckled softly, "Still couldn’t resist joining the commotion."
"A thousand faces for a thousand people, Zhao Ruoxi herself has more than ten thousand. Some personality splits, unable to control herself, is normal," retorted the Taoist statue unceremoniously, "Just let her be, it’s not easy for her to die."
After Sister Zhao left, the statue with an unclear face suddenly came to life.
It was unexpectedly a middle-aged cultivator with a square face and a grave expression.
"Worry-Free Paradise, after so many years of development, has already spread to the boundaries of the Star Sea, starting to infiltrate the High Wall."
"Now is the crucial moment."
"This sudden outbreak of fighting, regardless of the final outcome, is beneficial and harmless to us. At the very least, a large number of dead and injured... will be a massive addition of the Power of Worries afterward. Perhaps Wuyou can use this to break through the restrictions of the High Wall," the square-faced cultivator spoke gravely.
"After all, the restraining force of the High Wall on consciousness spaces like [Worry-Free Paradise] is much weaker than physical forces."
As the square-faced cultivator spoke, a mysterious atmosphere also flowed through the space.
And Wuyou, upon whom the hopes of the five Heavenly Sovereigns rested to escape, remained calmly in slumber. However, his occasionally twitching brows betrayed potentially intense inner turmoil.
After a quiet moment, the Taoist statue spoke, "Beyond the High Wall... is also not a peaceful place. From those who escaped in the past and now want to return, it can be seen. Unfortunately, the High Wall is hard to overcome. It’s the same inside and out."
"Even if this plan ultimately succeeds, and we use the Power of Dreams of Worry-Free Paradise to escape the High Wall, without the power of the Xuan Huang World laws as our foundation, our strength will also drop greatly. The Realm of Unification may hardly make any progress beyond the High Wall."
The square-faced cultivator spoke again gravely, "Even if there are dangers, what is lost is only the body in the dream. It won’t cause foundational harm to the true self. However, if beyond the High Wall is truly a haven, then one can cultivate there with the Dream Body. Gradually transferring the true self’s power."
