The times are developing rapidly, marking an unprecedented transformation of the cosmos.

Has the universe, having undergone several epochs, finally reached the point of complete reconstruction?

Nether Celestial Venerable, Void Celestial Venerable—those who once relied on spatial rules to continuously flee beyond borders and establish space islands—have all returned. All the Celestial Venerables of the universe have unexpectedly returned to this land.

This scene left all living beings, strong individuals, and seventh-tier Saints of various nations stunned. "Is it the Venerable of Creation again?"

"This newly returned Celestial Venerable possesses such extraordinary talent and capability, traveling across the lands, engaging in lively conversations with various Celestial Venerables of the world, jointly planning for the peace and happiness of all living beings?"

"To think that they could convince those selfish, renegade Evil Dao Celestial Venerables!"

"Indeed, those Celestial Venerables are incredibly selfish, unwilling to bring fortune to the universe's beings, reluctant to help establish a new order for the universe, evading responsibilities, unwilling to bear the burdens of overseeing the Celestial Dao..."

"Yet now, the Venerable of Creation can actually persuade these selfish Celestial Venerables to return to the Cosmic Continent and together build a new universe?"

Everyone is in awe, finding it incredibly unbelievable.

After all, the Celestial Venerables of this land, with their benevolence, majesty, kindness, and integrity, have long controlled the discourse, deeply rooted in people's hearts.

"It's truly unimaginable, what kind of extraordinary talent is the Venerable of Creation! To be able to persuade even those Celestial Venerables, forging friendships with many, uniting the world completely, and co-building the great momentum of the universe!"

"Such a towering hero, never seen before in ancient times! Dominating the eight horizons, possessed of frightening charisma, tirelessly striving for the land and its beings, persuading others—one longs to glimpse their true appearance!"

People discuss animatedly,

This returning Celestial Venerable has never revealed their true face, only known by name, while their actions remain a great mystery—truly a significant regret of life!"

The true appearance of the Venerable of Creation incites great curiosity.

Typically, newly emerged Celestial Venerables would reveal themselves, hold grand ceremonies, and become familiar to all beings.

However, this particular Celestial Venerable is an exception, never appearing at all.

Not only is their absence remarkable, but their deeds are also exaggeratedly astounding.

In an instant, they persuaded the Primordial Longevity Celestial Venerable, turning half of the universe's population into the Demon Race under their command, with both sides blessing life in unison—how terrifying is this grand affair? Yet it was agreed upon in a moment.

Then, they persuaded the Immortal Celestial Venerable, making the other half of the universe's population also become the Demon Race.

These monumental affairs were astonishingly achieved with such ease.

Even more terrifyingly, Nether Venerable, Void Venerable—those who long remained obstinate beyond the borders, reclusive and hunted numerous times—personally returned, persuaded after joyful discussions with the Venerable of Creation.

Instantly, the Venerable of Creation's public prestige soared to the pinnacle.

And this prestige was deliberately assisted by the returning figures like the Nether Celestial Venerable.

Resonating with the Venerable of Creation from afar, they are all fervent heroes intent on overthrowing the decayed celestial order, naturally helping to boost this momentum. Their return was an opportunity to elevate the Venerable of Creation's public esteem, secretly striking against the plans of the Cosmic Celestial Venerables.

Just as they guided, all beings began to revere the Venerable of Creation.

Throughout the entire land, after several years, countless Saints discussed the true nature of the Venerable of Creation, questioning whether they are male or female, why they appear so infrequently, lacking the solemnity of the Cosmic Celestial Venerables, and never show their true face.

—What exactly is the Venerable of Creation busy with, remaining unseen?

This news became a popular topic of conversation among all beings during leisure time.

Everyone was immensely curious.

However, someone quickly revealed the truth: "The Venerable of Creation is occupied with a multitude of affairs! How could they possibly have time for grand displays? Can't you see them busy engaging in lively discussions with numerous Celestial Venerables, jointly planning grand strategies?"

The crowd suddenly realized.

Another remarked directly: "Hmph, how could there be any time to appear? Observing the Venerable of Creation's schedule—traveling, visiting the residences of various Celestial Venerables, even rushing to various places beyond the borders—the mere calculation of time seems insufficient."

"Indeed, no wonder—going to visit one Celestial Venerable after another, conversing, persuading the others, the scheduling doesn't suffice, how could there possibly be time to appear, hold grand ceremonies, and establish a sacred canon for the Celestial Venerables?"

More and more beings began expressing their sentiments.

The Venerable of Creation is a cosmic holy figure, disregarding themselves, traversing the universe solely for the sake of all beings. For a time, their fame reached unprecedented heights.

...

Divine realm.

On a chessboard, an old man is playing chess.

Beside him stand several Celestial Venerables, looking at the nominal leader of the Celestial Venerables, that old man.

"You may act according to your own thoughts; you don't need to consult me. You all must be busy with reincarnation lately, right?" The old man lifted his eyelids slightly. "Soon, I will reincarnate too."

"Yes."

"Yes."

One by one, the Celestial Venerables saw the elderly figure say no more and could only leave.

The old man continued playing chess, his expression leisurely.

Meanwhile, a boy beside him said, "Master, this time it seems an extraordinary opponent has appeared on the chessboard; the Venerable of Creation has set us all up. His rules are very peculiar, controlling life, he can actually overthrow our status, inciting mortals to rise against gods... This time at the chess table, surely you won't be lonely, right?"

"Lonely or not depends on the opponent's talent." The old man smiled.

The boy asked in confusion, "Master, hasn't the opponent's talent been revealed? This situation has already changed drastically, which is very disadvantageous for us! Even those Celestial Venerables beyond the realm have responded to his call and returned, seizing the opportunity to exploit, truly shameless... And the Divine realm has no time to deal with them; one by one, Celestial Venerables are in a hurry to reincarnate to avoid catastrophe."

"There may be no Divine realm now, but there will be a new Immortal Realm, Saint Realm, Chaos Realm."

The old man picked up a chess piece and smiled, "Those Celestial Venerables, perhaps half of them will be overthrown and perish, but some will inevitably don the new guise of the Immortal Race and return here. Era after era, the protagonists change, but they manage to become the protagonists time and again, as new heroes, overthrowing the 'Old Celestial Venerables' rule, leading the people, raising the banner of 'justice', eternally standing high above, don't underestimate those guys."

"Moreover, this strategic plan is not solely the work of the Venerable of Creation; he is relying on the legacy of an ancient civilization. He is merely a young player now, likely still very tender, very young, very passionate, very eager..."

The boy beside him trembled all over upon hearing, "You mean this is not the Venerable of Creation's layout?"

"Yes."

The old man remained serene, "Those Celestial Venerables are not like me; they only see the second layer, not the third. The Venerable of Creation has obtained the legacy of an ancient civilization that opposed us back then, although I don't know who they were, I already know their plan."

"A long time ago, that civilization hostile to us fished out the 'Creation Rule' related to life; discovering this rule could actually overturn the structure of divine status, overthrowing our rule... Thus they hid this rule, using some means, concealing it into the distant future."

"This is why we have never found this rule." The old man's voice was ancient, giving one a sense of seeing through worldly affairs.

The boy nodded,

he indeed knew this,

After all, such top-tier conceptual rules must have been found at the beginning, searched out during that era filled with rules, along with supreme rules wandering around.

But for hundreds of billions of years, it has always disappeared from everyone's eyes, the Celestial Venerables simply can't find it.

The reason can only be one; it must be that in some earliest civilization, they intercepted this rule but never used it, not knowing what means to hide and preserve it for posterity.

The old man laughed, "That civilization preserved this rule because they knew, in that budding era, it was of no great use, but appearing at the last moment; using the characteristic of this rule can overturn positions, instead, it can give us a head-on blow, overturning our hundreds of billions of years of efforts, forcing us to abandon our divine statuses."

The boy pondered, "You mean the appearance of this rule as the last rule was no accident?"

"How could it be accidental?"

The old man's expression was calm; he took a sip of tea, "In this world, there is no such thing as random; only inevitable... what is called accidental, only small matters are accidental; larger trends are inevitable."

"Then it must be a hot-blooded hero-like civilization."

The old man looked up, appearing as if he saw countless past opponents, passionate, angry, singing loudly, standing before him, "Once old friends, who are you?"

"Back then, did you know that in the future you would be destroyed by our decay, or with the passage of time, follow us into decay, become new Celestial Venerables, losing the original intention of benefiting the cosmos. Thus before their civilization perished, before turning to ruins, this rule was left to the distant future, laying down a grand scheme."

"They let the inheritor of the future carry this rule, reversing our statuses, forcing us off our divine thrones..." The old man smiled, seemingly infinitely admiring, "I always thought that the few opponents of the past had been defeated by me, left the chess table, never did I expect that long after the distant time and space, before their defeat on the chessboard, they left a backup, supporting a new player to compete with me."

"Even if they left the chess table, dying before my eyes, they still wanted to win against me once; I felt their unyielding spirit."

The old man looked far away and sighed, "The Venerable of Creation is merely a new player inheriting the predecessor's plan; benefiting from our ancient enemies placing a grand scheme at death, with this fatal rule, barely overthrowing us once... But this is only the starting point the predecessors opened up for him.""Now, all old protection is exhausted; this is a path paved with all old hopes, leading to the chessboard; whether this young player can inherit his predecessors and compete with us Celestial Venerables, remains to be seen."
