Chapter 1 In the Future, We Can Rely on Each Other

"From now on, I'll be troubling you, little friend," said Grand Supreme Celestial Venerable. Jiang Xuan also nodded, realizing he shared a certain affinity with this Grand Supreme Celestial Venerable, even sharing the same Daoist name.

"That's only natural. By the way, Senior, I need all the Daos and Laws within your mind. Please imprint them onto this object." Jiang Xuan said, simultaneously retrieving an ancient jade. This was refined by his main body, an all-in-one defensive and offensive treasure with numerous functions.

He had originally intended to imitate treasures like the Gods' imprint, the Disc of Civilization, or the Jade of the Sages, but ultimately failed. The divine objects of the lower realm lacked certain characteristics, and his own power was also insufficient.

This made him realize the considerable gap between himself and powerhouses like the Civilization Lord. However, he still couldn't accurately assess the power of the God Realm, so he naturally needed Grand Supreme Celestial Venerable's memories.

"Very well." Grand Supreme Celestial Venerable accepted the ancient jade. His memories were too vast, and it would take some time to inscribe the memories of countless years, especially since he wasn't at his peak. It was impossible to complete it instantly.

"There is also something I must inform you of, little friend." Just after Grand Supreme Celestial Venerable put away the ancient jade, he spoke again to Jiang Xuan, "The so-called Godfall Land is indeed my burial ground. My divine body is integrated into the entire Godfall Land, and some of the treasures and fortunes it carried have also fallen throughout the Godfall Land."

"However, as you can see, my will is not even one ten-thousandth of what it was at my peak, so I don't have the ability to constantly create treasures and fortunes."

"Hmm?" Jiang Xuan was startled. If he remembered correctly, one of the reasons the Godfall Land was the greatest opportunity in the Dragon-Phoenix Heaven was because it constantly birthed opportunities and fortunes.

Yet Grand Supreme Celestial Venerable said that he no longer had that ability. Who created them then?

"Are there other powerful beings within this Godfall Land?"

Grand Supreme Celestial Venerable shook his head, saying, "Not a living being. According to my deduction, it's a supreme treasure that all the gods of the God Realm yearn to obtain – the Disc of Civilization!"

"The Disc of Civilization?!" Jiang Xuan was shocked. There was actually a Disc of Civilization within this Godfall Land?

In his memory, this had never happened before. Although the Disc of Civilization had been shattered into many parts, Jiang Xuan remembered that it was actually divided into thirteen parts, or thirteen systems, scattered throughout the past, present, and future.

Of course, each system had numerous functions, but in his memory, none of the Disc of Civilization fragments had been found in this Dragon-Phoenix Heaven.

"Could it be that I'm too far removed from Yang Qi's era, so the location of the Disc of Civilization is different?" Jiang Xuan thought to himself.

This was the most likely situation. After all, he couldn't determine his exact point in time. Anything could happen.

"Celestial Venerable, where is this Disc of Civilization you speak of located?" Jiang Xuan asked.

The Disc of Civilization's existence here presented a major problem. It certainly wasn't complete, merely a fragment. But one shouldn't forget that even a fragment of the Disc of Civilization could travel through time and space!

And with Yang Qi's identity as a Nullification of Destiny, if Jiang Xuan tried to forcibly reverse cause and effect, it could trigger unforeseen events, possibly even causing Yang Qi to travel directly from the future to this place.

However, Jiang Xuan was still prepared to try. From an outsider's perspective, he didn't believe in the existence of a Nullification of Destiny, because he already knew much about Yang Qi, knew what kind of realm he would eventually reach.

But one thing made him very wary, and that was the height that Yang Qi would ultimately reach. He transcended the God Realm, even transcended chaos. Jiang Xuan even suspected that he had entered a true myriad realms level!

If he was truly a being of that level, then no cause and effect could affect him. Even if Jiang Xuan destroyed the Gods' imprint and other treasures, he couldn't stop him from becoming that kind of being.

At the same time, if Yang Qi had truly reached that level, the timeline would be constrained. Any version of him in any era would be his most powerful self, making it impossible to influence him.

"But I've already entertained such thoughts, yet he hasn't descended. Is it because he hasn't reached that level, or does he simply not care?"

Jiang Xuan thought. Beings of that level couldn't change fate by crossing time and space.

Even if Jiang Xuan obtained all of Yang Qi's opportunities and treasures, even intercepted that Nullification of Destiny Qi, completely erasing Yang Qi, there might still be a Yang Qi waiting for him when he reached the No Beginning Realm.

This was why Jiang Xuan dared to try. Moreover, he himself wasn't an ordinary being. The Chaos Space itself was an anomalous existence that transcended the myriad realms, capable of sending him into this world, which had already changed many things.

If there really was a Yang Qi standing in eternity watching all of this, then he would definitely have noticed Jiang Xuan's existence long ago. Perhaps even Jiang Xuan's appearance here was something he had tacitly permitted.

"It's located in the core of the Godfall Land, very difficult to approach." Grand Supreme Celestial Venerable said, "Unfortunately, my divine body has already been annihilated, and my sea of consciousness can only barely maintain stability. Otherwise, I would have already taken it."

"Thank you, Senior. If it really is the Disc of Civilization, I will definitely repay you handsomely." Jiang Xuan said. He didn't know which fragment of the Disc of Civilization this was, but judging from the system's ability to create countless opportunities and fortunes, it was likely related to material manufacturing, weapon manufacturing, and the like.

"No matter. If you have any questions in the future, you can ask me." Grand Supreme Celestial Venerable said. He had originally been a Great Perfection God, but he failed to break through to the Supreme God realm, which led to his downfall.

Over the long years, he had only managed to stabilize the collapse of his sea of consciousness. Although he was not even one ten-thousandth of his former self, he finally saw hope of returning to his peak.

As for the Disc of Civilization, he couldn't take it now anyway. He was currently in a remnant state, and it was good enough that he could maintain the stability of his sea of consciousness. He didn't dare approach the Disc of Civilization fragment. What if he was absorbed as energy? That would be a terrible loss.

"I certainly won't be polite." Jiang Xuan smiled. This was the condition of their cooperation. For example, all of Grand Supreme Celestial Venerable's Daos and Laws had already been handed over to Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan had not yet entered the God Realm, nor had he condensed a godhead. Although he was strong, he was not a god and needed to understand the specific situation of the God Realm.

For example, he needed to understand what level he could reach in the God Realm. Although he possessed strength surpassing the beings of the lower realm, that might not be the case in the God Realm, where there were too many powerhouses.

Therefore, Grand Supreme Celestial Venerable's memories were very necessary, and they could also help him better understand the top Daos and Laws of this world.

After that, Jiang Xuan used the treasure refined by his main body to carry Grand Supreme Celestial Venerable's remnant soul. The vast Sea of Chaos also disappeared in an instant, sinking completely into the treasure.

"The Sea of Chaos has disappeared!"

"What happened?"

"The beings that entered it were all thrown out, even powerhouses from past eras. What exactly happened?!"

In the Godfall Land, countless people saw this scene. The Sea of Chaos was the most mysterious treasure land in the Godfall Land. Some had said that the ancient god was ultimately buried within it.

But it was too dangerous. In every era, only a handful of people dared to enter it to explore and adventure.

Yet no one had expected that this Sea of Chaos would actually dissipate, disappearing completely in an instant, as if it had been taken away by some treasure, leaving no trace behind.

...

The core of the Godfall Land was where most of the outsiders gathered. Over the long years, they had learned where opportunities and fortunes were most likely to be born. So every time it opened, they would rush to the places where treasures were most likely to appear.

For example, this was a continuous mountain range, comparable to a great world. In the endless mountains, immortal radiance soared into the sky from time to time, representing various opportunities and fortunes.

Among them were treasures and divine materials, all of which would cause a sensation if placed outside.

"This Disc of Civilization fragment has so much energy?"

Jiang Xuan found it a little strange. Logically speaking, although the Disc of Civilization fragment possessed great power, it had ultimately been shattered and divided into many parts, so there should be little energy left.

But this place was different, constantly creating various opportunities and treasures, and it had been doing so for hundreds of millions of years.

"Does this part have an independent energy storage device? Or is this not a fragment of the Disc of Civilization?"

Energy was very important to the Disc of Civilization.

Or rather, energy was very important to beings of all levels in this world. There was no so-called creation from nothing here. Even half-step No Beginning Realm beings needed to use Primordial Chaos Qi to create something.

So, seeing such a large-scale waste of energy, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but overthink. Moreover, Grand Supreme Celestial Venerable had also said that he was only guessing that this was the Disc of Civilization.

As for whether it was or not, he still needed to verify it himself.

"But even if it's a Disc of Civilization fragment, it doesn't seem to be very large, so it probably doesn't have many functions."

The Machine Race's Disc of Civilization fragment was a silver disc that was as large as tens of thousands of Immortal Realms combined.

And the one in front of him, even if it was as large as the entire Godfall Land, was still extremely small compared to the Machine Race's fragment. They were completely on different levels.

Of course, another possibility couldn't be ruled out: that this fragment had a lot of energy, so it had changed its size and shape.

"Celestial Venerable, is there any way to determine whether this object is the Disc of Civilization?"

Jiang Xuan communicated with Grand Supreme Celestial Venerable through his consciousness.

"Entering it is the only way. There are several fixed spacetime channels here that should be connected to its interior. Various treasures are thrown out from there, but there are many dangers."

Grand Supreme Celestial Venerable said, "Of course, you can also try to directly control it, but that may require your main body to come."

If it was Jiang Xuan's main body, even if he hadn't condensed a godhead in the God Realm, there was still hope of controlling it. Of course, this control wasn't absolute, like the Machine Race, which could use the Disc of Civilization fragment but couldn't truly possess it.

"I understand." Jiang Xuan nodded. Since there was a way, there was no need to let his main body come.

According to Grand Supreme Celestial Venerable, Jiang Xuan found those spacetime channels, but unlike normal spacetime channels, this place was shrouded in spacetime storms, with countless fragments tearing through it. Even a Myth Ninth Stage being could die if they entered it.

"These spacetime channels are very dangerous. In the past, many beings wanted to enter them, even beings at the Myth Sixth or Seventh Stage, but they were ultimately obliterated, their souls scattered."

Grand Supreme Celestial Venerable said. In every era, beings had discovered these spacetime channels and even wanted to break into them, but even Myth Sixth or Seventh Stage beings were obliterated when they entered, leaving no trace of their physical bodies.

This was one of the reasons why he hadn't come to take it. His physical body was gone, leaving only his remnant soul. It would be even harder for him to survive in these spacetime channels, and he didn't even know what was inside these spacetime channels.

After all, everyone who had entered had died within.

"I understand." Jiang Xuan nodded. A tower flew out, hovering in front of him, emitting divine light and enveloping him, protecting his body. Then, Jiang Xuan stepped directly into it.

After a long time, Jiang Xuan crossed the spacetime storm. On the other side of the channel was a silvery-white world, very vast, even comparable to a low-level Immortal Realm.

However, there was no life here. Various spaces intersected, and he could also sense energy running, as if working in an orderly manner.

Jiang Xuan was the only life here, and deep within a huge cockpit, Jiang Xuan saw a huge statue. It was a strange existence, condensing energy. Jiang Xuan had never seen its structure before. Countless laws were being decomposed and combined, as if it was a precise future technology optical brain changing.

"Optical brain?"

Jiang Xuan thought to himself, also believing more and more that this place was related to the Disc of Civilization, because optical brains were the combination of supreme wisdom. Different kinds of optical brains had different abilities.

Some powerful ones could deduce immortal techniques and Qigong, or even create their own divine-level Qigong cultivation methods, and even deduce the godhead of a true god.

However, it was clear that the one in front of him was not a godhead manufacturing system. It seemed to be more inclined towards material manufacturing and weapon manufacturing.

At the same time, Jiang Xuan also discovered a space behind this optical brain, containing an energy furnace that automatically ejected countless rays of light, drawing energy from the void.

Seeing this energy furnace, Jiang Xuan also took out the half-gourd of divine liquid that Grand Supreme Celestial Venerable had given him. This was a divine object that Grand Supreme Celestial Venerable had refined over countless years.

The prototype was the "Grand Supreme Celestial Venerable Jade Liquid" that he had refined in the past to break through to the Supreme God realm. Of course, in this lower realm, limited by laws and various resources, he couldn't refine the true Grand Supreme Celestial Venerable Jade Liquid.

But this half-gourd of divine liquid still possessed divinity, and its energy level could be said to be the top in the lower realm. Almost no energy could compare to it, even the energy in the Thirty-Three Heavens Immortal Realm.

The moment Jiang Xuan poured the divine liquid into the energy furnace, the huge optical brain began to flash, and a voice without any emotion resounded, "Energy fusion, 100% compatibility, perfect energy... the great civilization begins to recover..."

At the same time, Jiang Xuan also established a connection with the optical brain with his own will and primordial spirit. This method was originally used by Yang Qi when he obtained the first fragment of the Disc of Civilization. Perfect energy could allow him to communicate with the optical brain and even make it recognize him as its master.

And this divine liquid possessed divinity, far surpassing the energy of the lower realm, so it could naturally meet the standard of perfect energy for the Disc of Civilization fragment.

Of course, even if this method didn't work, Jiang Xuan could also control the fragment by controlling the optical brain like the Machine Race, but there was a possibility of it being taken away.

But recognizing a master was different. Unless it encountered the God Engine, it couldn't be separated from the system.

Rumble!

After a moment, rays of light enveloped Jiang Xuan's body, causing some strange changes. Many voices of the optical brain resounded, "Energy compatibility 100%, mechanical inheritance... master recognition begins..."

"Master recognition countdown: ten, nine, eight..."

Jiang Xuan waited patiently, but the thing he was most worried about didn't happen. But this didn't reassure him, but rather meant that at the top of endless spacetime, there might be a Holy King standing, watching his every move.
