Chapter 1178: Further Evolution

Han Jue preached the Dao to his Dao Companions for a long time. Each of them gained different insights, but the one who benefited the most was naturally Li Yao. Her Great Dao World had stabilized, and she had effectively entered the process of striving for the Creator Daoist Realm.

Li Yao hurriedly returned to seclusion. Han Jue then invited the other women to accompany him to the Zhongyuan Realm for leisure. To this, none of the women had any objections. Having not seen each other for a billion years, they were naturally happy to be able to travel the heavens together.

With a wave of his sleeve, Han Jue brought them directly to the Zhongyuan Realm.

The current Zhongyuan Realm had undergone immense changes. In terms of size alone, it had expanded several times over within the last billion years. More and more Great Dao Sages were emerging within the Realm, and the most powerful among them, the Life Demon God, had already condensed his first supreme rule.

As the first Demon God of the Zhongyuan Realm and having received Han Jue's personal guidance, the Life Demon God's cultivation was naturally the highest in the Realm. Below him, peerless experts like Dugu Wu, Han You, and the Zhongyuan Divine Clan Chief followed closely behind; the gap between them had not widened significantly.

Han Jue's gaze swept across the Zhongyuan Realm. He estimated that the Realm already possessed the foundation to contend with the entire Endless Era, and the number of cultivators at various Realms was no fewer than those in the Endless Era.

As the Creation Sovereign, his Great Dao World naturally surpassed all existing worlds. It was easier for all beings here to pursue the path of the Great Dao Supreme compared to the inhabitants of other Great Dao Worlds.

In the future, the Zhongyuan Realm would definitely give birth to Creator Daoists. Han Jue's ambition was for the Zhongyuan Realm to occupy half of the forty-nine Creator Daoist positions!

Only then would the Zhongyuan Realm be qualified to replace the Blank Domain!

He wanted the pale void outside to turn into deep crimson!

Han Jue and the others appeared in the Void Realm, traveling aimlessly.

The most lively of them, Chang Yueer, began to speak about what she knew of the Zhongyuan Realm.

Although the Zhongyuan Realm was far from the center of the Endless Era, legends about it had never been forgotten by all beings. This was simply because the Zhongyuan Realm was too vast. Any being who had visited knew it was incredibly formidable. In this Endless Era, the Zhongyuan Realm and other worlds seemed like two different camps or different dimensions. The mystery of the Zhongyuan Realm made countless beings yearn for it, but becoming a citizen of Zhongyuan was difficult; the Underworld was already on the verge of bursting from the crowds.

“Is Dugu Wu your disciple? Hundreds of millions of years ago, he descended upon the Endless Era and defeated many strong enemies just to prove his strength. He challenged hundreds of Great Dao Supremes and was incredibly arrogant. Yet, below the level of Creator Daoist, absolutely no one could subdue him,” Chang Yueer said excitedly.

Dugu Wu claimed to be the Dominator's disciple, which was the real reason those Creator Daoists and the experts striving for that Realm didn't dare to teach him a lesson.

What if it were true?

Xing Hongxuan smiled and said, “With that temper, it really might be. My husband keeps a low profile, but his disciples and sons are each more arrogant than the last. It’s quite strange.”

Xuan Qingjun couldn't help but laugh, saying, “It’s likely his teaching that scared the Juniors. Who could stand being in seclusion with him for millions of years right after starting their cultivation? It’s practically torture. That’s probably why those fellows all developed personalities opposite to his.”

The women all began to tease Han Jue.

Han Jue smiled without speaking, his gaze turning toward Dugu Wu.

Dugu Wu was currently in seclusion. He had already opened his own Great Dao World, which was a renowned power within the Zhongyuan Realm. The space within the Zhongyuan Realm was very rich and not all on one plane; those Great Dao Worlds were hidden in deeper layers of space, not disturbing the common beings.

Dugu Wu's cultivation was quite good; catching up to the Life Demon God was well within his reach.

The Life Demon God was, after all, a converted Chaos Demon God, whereas Dugu Wu possessed the highest Aptitude born after the creation of the Zhongyuan Realm. His Bloodline was more compatible with the Zhongyuan Realm.

Han Jue withdrew his gaze and began to enjoy this rare moment of relaxation.

He could afford to spend a bit more time with the women.

To his current self, ten thousand years was like the blink of an eye. Missing out on ten thousand years of cultivation was nothing.

…

Above the vast Grandmist Great Dao World stood three connected palaces; these were the cultivation grounds of the three Primordial Chaos Demon Gods.

At this moment, Primal Chaos and Huang Zuntian came to visit Han Huang.

The three Primordial Chaos Demon Gods had already undergone Fusion and were equivalent to each other's Clones, so they discussed everything together.

“A higher Realm?” Han Huang raised an eyebrow.

Primal Chaos said with burning eyes, “That's right. We must plan for a higher Realm. If the Dominator could reach it, why can't we? Although we have just stepped into the Creator Daoist Realm, do you really think being a Creator Daoist is enough?”

“Before, I wanted to become a Great Dao Supreme because they were the strongest. Later, I wanted to be even stronger, which is why I transformed into a Primordial Chaos Demon God. Now that Creator Daoist is no longer the peak, we should plan for the next step, moving toward the position of the strongest one step at a time, perhaps even surpassing the Dominator!”

He spoke with great force and conviction, unafraid of Han Huang overthinking things. They were already one, sharing life and death.

Han Huang did not refuse but instead fell into serious thought.

After becoming a Creator Daoist, he did indeed feel somewhat lost.

Huang Zuntian said, “Ambition isn't the important part; what matters is how to achieve it. I can feel where the limits of the Grandmist lie. Relying solely on the Grandmist, we will at most be slightly stronger than other Creator Daoists.”

Primal Chaos said in a low voice, “Naturally, by upgrading our Bloodline! There must be an even more Advanced Bloodline above the Primordial Chaos Demon God. That is how the Dominator succeeded. Before the Great Dao Calamity, Chaos could only support one Primordial Chaos Demon God. Since Han Huang exists, then what exactly is the Dominator? He cannot possibly be of a lower grade than a Primordial Chaos Demon God.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Han Huang and Huang Zuntian were moved.

A further evolution of the Primordial Chaos Demon God?

Primal Chaos spoke, “I plan to undergo Reincarnation and travel the Zhongyuan Realm. Perhaps the Zhongyuan Realm can give me the answer. However, this matter might offend the Dominator, so I need you to step forward.”

Han Huang pondered and said, “You must guarantee that you will not interfere with the Zhongyuan Realm.”

Primal Chaos shook his head and laughed, “I wouldn't dare even if I had ten times the courage. You don't need to remind me of that.”

Han Huang hesitated for a moment but finally set out.

He felt that he truly should charge toward a higher Realm!

…

Deep within the Blank Domain, beneath the boundless Divine Tree.

The Ninth Chaos was currently playing chess with the Dao Ancestor. The chessboard was a landscape of mountains and rivers. As pieces were placed, they transformed into creation, splitting the landscape in two. They were deducing the world against each other, their two worlds constantly devouring one another in a strategic game.

The Dao Ancestor spoke, “There will be more Creator Daoists in the future, but can there be one more person in the Realm above?”

The Ninth Chaos said indifferently, “You want to know the Dominator's attitude?”

The Dao Ancestor smiled and said, “Naturally. However, the reason I want to know is that I have a certain level of confidence. This Dominator is different from you, and different from the Primordial Chaos Demon Gods of the past. He is more inclusive.”

The Ninth Chaos said, “You are too impatient. You have just attained the Creator Daoist Realm and already long for a higher one. I have already failed and can no longer give you an answer. The only thing I can tell you is that if you want to explore a higher Realm, you must wait until you are as strong as I am.”

The Dao Ancestor said meaningfully, “Perhaps striving for a higher Realm is no longer a matter of pure cultivation. Otherwise, why didn't you succeed?”
