Chapter 1 The Origin

Lu Changsheng really hadn't expected that the Origin Divine Tree was actually hidden within the Six Realms Heavenly Dao Mark.

The ancient divine tree blotted out the sky, each branch rippling with hundreds of millions of laws, and this was only a phantom.

The terrifying Origin Divine Tree seemed to connect heaven and earth, supporting a chaotic universe, leaving people incomparably shocked.

Lu Changsheng quietly watched all of this as the phantom of the Origin Divine Tree slowly emerged, and the Six Realms Heavenly Dao Mark also bloomed with immeasurable divine light.

However, an even more shocking scene appeared before Lu Changsheng. Within the chaotic universe opened up by the Great God Pangu, a green lotus appeared.

This green lotus looked even more terrifying than the Origin Divine Tree. This was the Great Dao Green Lotus, a divine object that nurtured the three thousand demon gods.

Based on what Daoist Hongjun had said, Lu Changsheng had a certain understanding of the relative strength of the three treasures left behind by the Great God Pangu.

The Heaven-Opening Axe was the Great God Pangu's natal magic weapon, a treasure of creation, perhaps even a top-tier treasure of creation.

However, the Origin Divine Tree was even more ancient, surpassing the Heaven-Opening Axe. The Origin Divine Tree could condense three thousand Great Dao laws and bear three thousand divine fruits, each fruit representing the ultimate form of a Great Dao.

As long as one swallowed such a fruit, one could step into the Great Luo realm.

And if one were to fuse and refine all three thousand divine fruits, one would directly step into the Creation realm. No matter how poor one's cultivation, one could ascend to the heavens in a single step.

This was the terror of the Origin Divine Tree, but even more terrifying was this Great Dao Green Lotus.

Because, according to Daoist Hongjun, the fact that this Great Dao Green Lotus could nurture terrifying beings like the three thousand demon gods proved that the Great Dao Green Lotus was very likely a carrier of the Great Dao.

But this was just Lu Changsheng's guess; he couldn't be certain, but he always felt that the Great Dao Green Lotus was extraordinary.

Because before, he had seen a glimpse of the future, and what was reflected in his eyes was the Great Dao Green Lotus, though not this one.

Therefore, among the three treasures left behind by the Great God Pangu, the Great Dao Green Lotus ranked first.

Second was the Origin Divine Tree, and last was the Heaven-Opening Axe.

Now, Lu Changsheng only needed one last item for the Heaven-Opening Axe: the Acquired Taiji Diagram. This diagram was located in the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains, and if needed, it could be retrieved quickly.

Moreover, he didn't need the Heaven-Opening Axe for the time being; rather, the Origin Divine Tree and the Great Dao Green Lotus would be of great help to him.

Understanding this, Lu Changsheng didn't waste any time. He sat cross-legged in the chaotic universe, refining the Chaos Laws.

Afterward, his gaze focused on the Origin Divine Tree.

"Although the Origin Divine Tree has appeared, I haven't completely mastered all three thousand Great Dao divine abilities yet, so I can't truly condense the Supreme Divine Embryo for now. Otherwise, even the slightest imperfection would prevent it from being truly perfect."

Lu Changsheng thought to himself. He was very clear that if he really wanted to condense the Supreme Divine Embryo, then he had to walk a truly ultimate and perfect path.

Therefore, there couldn't be even a single flaw.

However, to condense a true Supreme Divine Embryo, one must master three thousand Great Dao divine abilities and then transform these three thousand Great Dao divine abilities into three thousand law seeds.

Plant them within one's body, then let them take root and sprout, reaching the Acquired state. If this step succeeded, then one could refine the Origin Divine Tree and devour and fuse all three thousand divine fruits within the Origin Divine Tree.

Then, the three thousand divine fruits of the Origin Divine Tree would transform into a continuous stream of law energy, irrigating the three thousand law seeds.

At that time, with the help of the Origin Divine Tree's body, one could condense the Supreme Divine Embryo. Within the divine embryo, one could return to the Acquired Chaos primordial state.

At that time, the three thousand laws within the body would not be simply fused, refined, and imprinted; rather, they would be born with oneself, possessing three thousand laws from birth.

Ordinary Immortal Embryo cultivators, in the process of cultivation, would have their physical bodies reach the Acquired primordial state, and then they would fuse and imprint the laws within their bodies.

But Lu Changsheng's perfect cultivation was different. He would plant the laws within his body and then return to the primordial chaotic state, ultimately being born together with them.

In this way, he could achieve a true state where his words would become law.

But this process was extremely difficult, perhaps even harder than ascending to the heavens. A single mistake could ruin everything.

Therefore, in the eyes of many powerful cultivators, nurturing a Supreme Divine Embryo was only a theoretical possibility.

Because, not to mention the demanding conditions required, the probability of failure alone was over 90%.

Of course, if Lu Changsheng really condensed a Supreme Divine Embryo, it would surely shock the heavens and earth. Those masters of creation in the Great Thousand World would be shaken by it.

But right now, he was still lacking six Great Dao divine abilities. Without these six Great Dao divine abilities, he wouldn't be able to plant the three thousand laws.

So, the first step was very difficult to complete.

Lu Changsheng kept thinking. Fortunately, there was no concept of time in this chaotic universe; otherwise, he might not have been able to think at all.

This was a small chaotic universe. Back when the Great God Pangu opened the heavens and the earth, he deliberately preserved this universe.

Lu Changsheng stood in the universe, feeling the complete Chaos Laws within this chaotic universe.

He was deep in thought, frowning. He used the Heavenly Emperor Method to deduce the final six Great Dao divine abilities.

Because there was no concept of time in the chaotic universe, Lu Changsheng wasn't worried about time.

At this moment, he kept deducing, using the currently mastered Great Dao divine abilities as a foundation to deduce the final Great Dao divine abilities.

But even with the Heavenly Emperor Method, it was difficult to deduce the final six Great Dao divine abilities, because these final six Great Dao divine abilities were ranked at the very top.

Normally speaking, it might take Lu Changsheng an entire era to successfully deduce these final Great Dao divine abilities.

But fortunately, this was a chaotic universe, with the most complete Chaos Laws between heaven and earth.

Therefore, it could greatly reduce the time required.

There were no years in Chaos. Lu Changsheng didn't know how long he had been thinking.

But he had already deduced no less than a trillion times.

Under such terrifying deduction, Lu Changsheng had successfully deduced four of the final Great Dao divine abilities.

The Great Supreme Art, supreme and unparalleled, the only one worthy of reverence. This was the sixth-ranked supreme divine ability among the three thousand Great Dao divine abilities. Mastering this divine ability would transform one into the supreme, and everything would be supreme and perfect.

The Great Divine Might Art, divine might that shook the world, indestructible. This was the fifth-ranked supreme divine ability among the three thousand Great Dao divine abilities. Mastering this divine ability would elevate one's majesty to the extreme, the majesty of a Son of Heaven, the majesty of a true dragon, the majesty of a Heavenly Emperor, leaving an indelible impression on others.

The Great Boundless Art, boundless physical body, boundless primordial spirit, eternal boundlessness, all inconceivable boundlessness. This was the fourth-ranked supreme divine ability among the three thousand Great Dao divine abilities. Mastering this divine ability would grant everything boundlessness, immeasurable.

The Great Creation Art, all heavens and worlds have creation, which has a certain relationship with cause and effect and destiny. This was the third-ranked supreme divine ability among the three thousand Great Dao divine abilities.

This divine ability was somewhat related to destiny and cause and effect and could be called a minor Karma Art.

These four Great Dao divine abilities were what Lu Changsheng had deduced after countless deductions.

There were still the final two Great Dao divine abilities left.

The second-ranked Great Karma Art.

And the first-ranked Great Destiny Art.

Lu Changsheng was unable to deduce these two Great Dao divine abilities.

Because these two Great Dao divine abilities represented the destiny and karma of all things in the world.

Karma, karma, all things have karma. A flower, a tree, a speck of dust, a grain of sand, all have karma.

Destiny, destiny, all heavens and worlds, endless living beings, all have destiny. All karma is ruled by destiny.

These two Great Dao divine abilities could be said to be the strongest two among the three thousand Great Daos. One could sever another's karma, and the other could change another's destiny.

If mastered, they would surpass everything.

No matter how strong you are, how can you destroy the heavens and the earth with a single punch? I can place karma on you, and your every move will be erased by karma.

You ignore karma, you are strong to the extreme, but all things have destiny. No matter how strong you are, I can change your destiny, making you as insignificant as an ant.

This was the power of the Great Karma Art and the Great Destiny Art.

If they were enemies, they could be burdened with karma and have their destiny changed, making their lives worse than death.

If they were relatives and friends, they could reduce their karma and change their destiny, helping them soar to success.

But Lu Changsheng had always found it difficult to truly understand these two Great Dao divine abilities. The things involved were simply too terrifying.

Once one thought about such mysterious things as karma and destiny, one would fall into a very strange state.

Perhaps in a single thought, one would become possessed.

After another trillion deductions, Lu Changsheng still hadn't deduced the Great Destiny Art and the Great Karma Art.

He was somewhat troubled, frowning, feeling like he was sinking into a quagmire.

This feeling was terrifying. Lu Changsheng clearly knew that if he didn't get out of this state in time, he was very likely to become possessed in a single thought.

At that time, even the gods wouldn't be able to save him.

But just thinking about karma and destiny, Lu Changsheng couldn't restrain his thoughts, as if some mysterious force was attracting him.

In fact, although destiny and karma seemed unconscious, they were actually conscious. So when Lu Changsheng was deducing destiny and karma,

Destiny and karma were also缠绕(chan rao, entangling) Lu Changsheng.

If Lu Changsheng truly deduced them, then he would directly grasp the power of destiny and karma.

But if Lu Changsheng couldn't deduce them, he would fall into an endless confusion, not becoming possessed, but an eternal predicament.

He would eternally ponder destiny and karma until his death.

Yet after countless more deductions.

Lu Changsheng still hadn't deduced these two divine abilities, because it was simply too difficult.

And in fact, the Great Destiny Art and the Great Karma Art couldn't be deduced by deduction at all.

Because a person can't visualize destiny and karma. It's not even on the same level. The amount involved is too immeasurable.

But at this moment, suddenly, the Six Realms Heavenly Dao Mark bloomed with immeasurable light, and the vaguely appearing Great Dao Green Lotus scattered a piece of green light that entered Lu Changsheng's body.

At this moment, the scene of the Great God Pangu's battle with the three thousand demon gods appeared in Lu Changsheng's mind.

These three thousand demon gods represented the three thousand Great Dao laws.

The Great God Pangu represented the law of force. Because they were in Chaos, and were both demon gods, there was no concept of destiny or karma.

And the Destiny Demon God and the Karma Demon God couldn't exert their true strength. They couldn't place karma on the Great God Pangu, nor could they change the Great God Pangu's destiny.

In the end, they died under the Great God Pangu's Heaven-Opening Axe.

Lu Changsheng hadn't forgotten that scene. He kept thinking and deducing.

But this time Lu Changsheng's thinking wasn't as simple as deducing Dao techniques.

He was thinking about what destiny was. All things in the world have their own destiny. Some people are born emperors, living in luxury.

But some people are born beggars, unable to get enough to eat, suffering unspeakable hardships.

Most cultivators believe that.

So-called destiny is imposed on all living beings. However, true destiny is in one's own hands. As long as one is strong enough, anyone can grasp destiny.

But Lu Changsheng had another idea. Everything is predestined. Destiny has already arranged everything. Grasping destiny is just self-deception.

No one can grasp destiny, and no one can escape karma.

Therefore, all things in heaven and earth, all living beings, should follow their nature, accept karma, and not deliberately avoid karma. Only then can they truly understand destiny.

Lu Changsheng thought this way.

Indeed, if everyone were to avoid karma, then there would be no need to be born into the world. One could hide in the deep mountains and forests, not meet anyone, not touch anything.

Even not drink a mouthful of water or breathe a mouthful of air, because all things have karma, how could one completely avoid it?

The more you avoid these karmas, the more destiny will change everything about you.

Just like that, suddenly, two divine lights permeated around Lu Changsheng, one red and one blue.

The two kinds of light were incomparably bright, yet they gave people a mysterious feeling.

The red light evolved into a picture of all living beings, the destiny of all beings, all in the picture.

This was the picture of all living beings' destinies.

And the blue light turned into blue lines,缠绕(chan rao, entangling) all living beings. Everyone has their karma.

Even a master of creation or an ant, even a leaf has its karma.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng completely understood.

He comprehended the true meaning of the Great Karma Art and the Great Destiny Art!

At this moment, the aura of three thousand Great Daos surrounded his body. At the same time, three thousand Great Dao divine abilities transformed into three thousand seeds, imprinting themselves in his body.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng's aura in the chaotic universe became extremely terrifying. He was like a creator god, great boundlessness, great freedom, great supremacy, great carefree.

Everything was him, and everything that was not everything was also him.

This was a symbol of ultimate perfection. In the Six Realms, all of Lu Changsheng's strength had reached an ultimate perfection.

Whether it was his physical body, his primordial spirit, or his wisdom, Lu Changsheng represented the top existence in the Six Realms.

And as the three thousand seeds imprinted in his body, at this moment the Origin Divine Tree also truly appeared.

There was no light in the chaotic universe, but with the appearance of the Origin Divine Tree, countless divine lights illuminated the entire chaotic universe.

The body of the Origin Divine Tree appeared before Lu Changsheng's eyes.

33,330,000 zhang.

It had three thousand branches.

On each branch, a round, full, crystal-clear divine fruit condensed.
