Let you simulate life, but you change fate every time?!

Supreme Divine Hall.

In an unknown space.

Almost at the instant that ancient will descended, Lu Yuan's expression slightly changed.

Because this will was vast and boundless, like the majestic sky.

All the venerable strong persons he had ever encountered were as insignificant as mayflies before it.

"Is this the Heavenly Dao Will of this realm?"

This thought had just surfaced in Lu Yuan's mind when a sigh echoed in his head.

"The Heavenly Dao is dead. I am merely the person entrusted with authority in its stead, you can call me Dao Ancestor."

This sigh carried with it endless age and fatigue.

Then.

An old man in sackcloth, barefoot, with white hair and beard appeared before Lu Yuan.

The old man's form was illusory, clearly condensed by the Heaven and Earth Laws.

His skin was dark and his back hunched, looking no different from an old peasant who had long worked in the fields.

Yet around him, endless Dao rhythms flowed, any wisp of energy he casually emitted was as rich as a deep sea!

"Dao Ancestor?"

Lu Yuan was shocked and puzzled, hearing this title for the first time.

And what does it mean for the Heavenly Dao to be dead?

The Heavenly Dao Will is the foundation on which a world operates. If something were to happen to it.

It would surely lead to starry voids extinguishing, the demise of all things, and everything ceasing to exist.

"I never expected that after millions of years, this old man could still see a new Simulator."

"But it's true, considering the time, this world should indeed be approaching its end."

The old man sighed softly, his tone complex.

"What are you implying, senior?"

Lu Yuan cupped his hands respectfully and asked.

"These are all just old and trivial matters."

"But since you were able to come here, perhaps there may still be a glimmer of hope for this realm."

The Dao Ancestor smiled.

Then.

From his story, Lu Yuan finally learned all the ins and outs of the situation.

During the Ancient Times, the Profound Realm reached unparalleled glory.

The Ten Thousand Races coexisted, and hundreds of Venerables ruled the world.

But the good times didn't last long.

Venerable strong persons soon discovered.

The way of heaven loses more than it gains, while the way of humans gains more than it loses.

Under the constraints of the Heavenly Dao.

Even though their cultivation could reach the heavens, capable of annihilating a star domain with a thought, their lifespan was merely tens of thousands of years.

No matter how great your power, no matter how unparalleled your talent, in the end, you would still become a pile of dust!

Several Venerables whose lives were nearing their end were unwilling to just pass away, deciding to join forces to rebel against the heavens, seeking to break free from the control of the Heavenly Dao and achieve immortality.

Hearing this, Lu Yuan linked it to the information previously revealed by the old man and already guessed the outcome of this battle.

As expected.

The Dao Ancestor's subsequent words confirmed his speculation.

"That battle was extremely brutal, lasting tens of thousands of years, finally ending with the extinction of the Heavenly Dao and the collapse of order."

"The Ten Thousand Races believed that by being free from the constraints of the Heavenly Dao, they could lead the Profound Realm to another peak, not realizing they were making a grave mistake."

The Dao Ancestor closed his eyes and sighed deeply.

"They indeed succeeded, miraculously defeating the Heavenly Dao in an almost impossible situation."

"But immortality comes at a price."

"Birth, old age, sickness, and death are natural laws, and the cost of immortality far exceeded anyone's expectations."

Lu Yuan stayed silent, not surprised by this outcome.

The heavens are unkind, treating all things as straw dogs.

The correct meaning of this phrase is that the heavens have no emotions, treating all things equally.

The Heavenly Dao Will is more like a machine, operating solely according to rules and procedures.

But humans have selfish desires.

Once free of the Heavenly Dao's constraints, the evil of human nature is bound to drag everyone into the Abyss.

After all, resources are finite.

Every Venerable wishing to extend their life must consume a vast amount of resources.

This means.

If you monopolize a part of the Law Origin, then I will have to live hundreds of years less.

And driven by the pursuit of immortality.

The previously united Heaven-Slaying Alliance instantly dissolved and splintered.

They fought fiercely over resources, turning against each other, engaging in mutual slaughter.

Rendering the already scarred Profound Realm even more fractured.

The infamous Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Body emerged during this era.

Because this constitution could plunder the bloodlines of the Ten Thousand Races for personal use, even numerous Ancient Venerables were deeply fearful of it.

To make matters worse.

Some Venerables, unwilling to await death upon their defeat, unexpectedly brought war to other world planes in their desperation.

I may not be able to defeat a peer-level Venerable, but I can still plunder resources and laws from other low-level planes!

The Profound Realm, being a Six-Star Xuanhuan World, could easily deal with other low-level worlds, couldn't it?

Originally, with the constraints of the Heavenly Dao, they didn't dare to cross this line.

But now that the Heavenly Dao is dead, who can stop them?

In an instant.

War erupted everywhere, and beings were plunged into misery and suffering.

Those Ancient Venerables, manically invading other planes, incited the wrath of heaven and men, being spurned by the Ten Thousand Races.

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow, sensing something amiss.

Theoretically speaking.

For an ordinary cultivator to kill the Heavenly Dao Will is almost impossible.

But across the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, vast and boundless.

With geniuses and anomalies emerging endlessly, if they reached the utmost transcendence, they might just achieve it.

But the Heavenly Dao Will of each realm is the spokesperson of the Will of the Heavens.

When the Heavenly Dao Will perishes unexpectedly, it would at once attract the attention of the Will of the Heavens.

But in this realm, the Heavenly Dao was annihilated by the combined force of the Ancient Venerables, yet the Will of the Heavens had no response.

This implies.

There must be someone secretly manipulating everything.

And those Ancient Venerables, once tasting sweet success, grew more and more frenzied, even starting blood sacrifices of living beings!
