Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, three years had gone by.

With the opening of the first Secret Realm and the establishment of the first Market, various Cultivation Systems gradually upgraded, marking the beginning of a brilliant and glorious era.

In this era, the old Martial World had already ended, and new Legends were gradually unfolding.

Li Hu's initial arrangements also began to gradually bear fruit.

One after another, prodigies of the era and lucky individuals gained the opportunities left by Li Hu, starting to stand out and show their own brilliance in the new era, stirring up the world.

And Li Hu, still high above on Jade Capital Mountain, silently watched all this from the shadows.

Just like the hidden mastermind manipulating the changes in the world.

The entire Divine Land World steadily moved from a pure Martial Hero World style towards a fantastical Immortal Hero Dao style.

And during this period, Li Hu also collected a large amount of sample materials through the Cultivation paths of countless Cultivators, beginning to perfect the two transcendence paths he had created.

However, there were some unexpected events in between.

"I didn't expect that it would turn out this way in the end..."

On Jade Capital Mountain, Li Hu, as if suspended in a different dimensional space, revealed a look of being at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Everything he did in this world was to achieve the purpose of shattering the void or Crossing Tribulation and Ascending, breaking the world's constraints on himself, and then relying on the Gate of Truth deep within his soul to return to the Main World.

However, the pathway to shattering the void had not been completed, and the attempt to Cross Tribulation and Ascend had not yet been undertaken.

Li Hu now, however, had already acquired the ability to leave this world in advance.

That's right, the world's constraints on him had vanished.

He could already return to the Main World through the Gate of Truth deep within his soul now!

"Does this count as the flowers not blooming despite deliberate planting, but the willows growing without intent?"

Li Hu was somewhat speechless.

All of this, to speak of it, was still related to the transformation of the world.

In these three years, with the opening of the Secret Realms, a large amount of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi began to flood into various parts of the world.

At the same time, the Secret Realms produced a large amount of Elixirs crafted from heavenly materials and earthly treasures that enhanced Cultivation.

There was also the exploration of fantasy-style, Immortal-Dao style Cultivation Techniques.

All these reasons allowed the power of a large number of Martial Artists to improve, ultimately raising the strength of the entire Cultivation Realm by one level.

This era of grand competition, in another sense,

was the hidden hand Li Hu leveraging unparalleled methods to stir up the wave of Spiritual Qi Revival.

What Li Hu did, even though it was only for himself, was precisely because of his actions that Heaven and Earth were given an opportunity to ascend, and the mechanized Heavenly Dao developed wisdom.

This kind of behavior brought about great merit to Heaven and Earth.

As he spoke of the Dao to all beings, opening up the great path for them, he was later favored by Heaven and Earth.

Therefore, as the world gradually ascended throughout these years, Li Hu imperceptibly gained the fortune and position akin to that of a Celestial Emperor.

This was feedback from the Heavenly Dao Consciousness to Li Hu as the strength of the entire world continued to elevate.

The Secret Realm established by Li Hu was picked by the Heavenly Dao Consciousness, but it was not without compensation.

The Heavenly Dao Consciousness' compensation was granting Li Hu the Heaven and Earth Authority to manage all beings, essentially the Celestial Emperor Position.

As Celestial Emperor, he ruled over everything in the world.

This was also the Heavenly Dao Consciousness's affirmation of him, as well as the reward for picking the fruit that Li Hu had planted.

Of course, even without the Heavenly Dao's confirmation,

Li Hu, given his impact on the world, naturally held transcendent privileges as the world ascended.

Much like Hong Jun in the novels of ancient legends in his past life.

The Heavenly Dao Consciousness's affirmation was merely the icing on the cake.

And under this transcendent position, Li Hu possessed the ability to transcend the world.

The world's constraints on him had completely disappeared.

This resulted in Li Hu being able to return to the Main World through the Gate of Truth deep within his soul.

"Is this what it means to achieve sanctification through merit like in the ancient legends?"

Originally, he was wholeheartedly focused on developing the pathways of shattering the void and Crossing Tribulation and Ascending, yet the unintentional fruits he planted led him to achieve his ultimate objective unexpectedly.

This can only be said to be unexpected, yet reasonable.

Li Hu's Celestial Emperor Position was in place even before the awakening of the Heavenly Dao Consciousness.

And after all, the Heavenly Dao is the collective consciousness of all beings, and the grand way is fair; even though it developed awareness, it would have no personal bias.

The relationship between Li Hu and the Heavenly Dao Consciousness was akin to the relationship between later shareholders and founders of a company.

Li Hu was the founder, the helmsman, possessing absolute managerial rights, while the Heavenly Dao Consciousness was a shareholder with ownership but without management rights, which rested with Li Hu, who held the Celestial Emperor Position.

Moreover, in this world, Li Hu's Celestial Emperor was far superior to the Heaven Emperor Haotian in the legendary ancient world.

No one could bind him.

"It's a pity, though this world is good, it's ultimately not the world I'm meant to linger in forever."

For a moment, Li Hu felt an urge to remain in this world indefinitely.

But quickly, this thought was cast aside.

Because, although he could act with impunity in this world, undefeated in the realm,

what difference was it from a Martial Artist dominating a village or a pond?

The stage he needed was a bigger world beyond, a greater Multi-universe!

And all of these were not what this world could offer.

"Let's leave for now; so many years have passed, I wonder how the other side of the Main World is doing."

Li Hu pondered for a moment and had already made up his mind.

It's just a pity that after staying here for so many years, he really had some reluctance.

Li Hu sighed softly, his gaze somewhat deep.

However, the next moment, an inspiration suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Although I am merely returning to the Seta Continent, it doesn't mean I have to abandon this world! This world still holds great value, especially as it is currently undergoing intense transformation, and after its ascension is complete, the benefits will only be greater, not to mention that I currently occupy the Celestial Emperor Position, of which completely abandoning would result in too much loss!"

Unwilling to give up.

Thus, Li Hu thought of a compromise.

Within the body in this world, he would leave a strand of Split Soul as an extension, overseeing the world, to wait for the day he returns to reap the harvest.

The Martial Hero World naturally didn't have the operation of Split Soul, but the Immortal Hero Dao that Li Hu created did.

Slicing off a piece of Split Soul hardly affected the main body.

After all, even after the Divine Sense was split, it could regenerate automatically.

And as his Divine Fragment, it could also oversee this world and direct all the progressive transformations.

He acted immediately upon thought.

Li Hu promptly began retreating to split his Divine Soul.

After several days, he successfully sliced off a strand of Divine Soul.

Once he confirmed there were no issues,

he sent a message through the void, instructing those disciples he had taken under his name to descend the mountain, and notifying the Daoist Child on Jade Capital Mountain that he was about to go into seclusion.

Subsequently, Jade Capital Mountain was completely sealed off.

Li Hu's body was controlled by the Split Soul.

And Austin's Spiritual Body, by invoking the Gate of Truth within his mind, returned to the main body in the Main World.
