A brilliant light burst from Lu Yuan's eyes.

The power within his entire body surged like a breached river.

The golden blood and Qi were more radiant and dazzling than before, illuminating the entire room.

A total of twenty-eight Grotto Heavens emerged, each with a True God within.

They were completely connected with his mind and spirit.

Whenever he desired.

He could use them at any time, directly enhancing his combat power by twenty-eight times.

The power emanating from his body had already surpassed the Golden Body Realm.

It had directly reached the fifth stage of evolution, Venerable King Realm, mysterious and grand.

Even if it hadn't been fully displayed yet.

It was already more immense than before.

Fortunately, there was the Meridian Heaven-Repairing Furnace to suppress it, so it didn't leak out.

Yet even so, it was already exceedingly strong, quite terrifying.

Lu Yuan possessed profound background, and with the blessing of numerous Divine Artifacts, his combat power was truly astonishing. His Breaking Realm brought immense improvement to himself, and just as at this moment, it was impossible to meditate and evolve in peace.

"In such situations, it seems like I'll have to find a special place for myself in the future."

Seeing this, a smile appeared in his eyes.

Until it continued like this.

Even the Meridian Heaven-Repairing Furnace couldn't suppress the leakage of his power.

Each impact and evolution would inevitably affect the surrounding environment.

The path of evolution is indeed the path to becoming a god; the Extraordinary Power grows increasingly terrifying, eventually even beyond the suppression of heaven and earth.

Especially at the Holy Realm stage, it's extraordinary; the significance of the word 'Holy' is immense and fundamentally different from previous realms.

Reaching this realm allows for survival in outer space, progressing further to the point of even being able to crush small stars. It represents a true transformation in evolution, beyond human description.

Thus, even though the difference is merely one stage, the gap between Venerable King Realm and Holy Realm is incredibly vast.

It is difficult to articulate, much like Lu Yuan's next goal,

which is the sixth stage, Void Saint Realm.

Attempting to achieve this.

Even with his profound background, it remains a colossal challenge.

Within the deep space of the Great Star Realm, the Holy Sanctuary Level is considered the most solid force.

Though it comprises only three realms, numerous steps actually exist within, requiring step-by-step progression and comprehension.

"Next, I'll need to stabilize my own realm, then venture into some famous mountains and rivers to seek inheritance and fortune." Lu Yuan murmured, contemplating.

All along, he has been clear about his goals and has had sufficient plans, knowing precisely what to do.

As it stands, ordinary people know that reaching the sixth stage, Void Saint Realm, is extremely difficult after achieving Venerable King Realm.

It necessitates prolonged accumulation, and even then, breakthroughs might elude them.

But Lu Yuan is different.

He knows the world is still in revival.

Understanding that numerous inheritances and fortunes exist, as long as he seizes the opportunity, he can consistently outrun others.

For now, less than three years have passed since the first anomaly.

He has already reached the fifth stage of evolution.

It was something no one achieved in the previous life.

Subsequently,

Lu Yuan stopped contemplating and left the room directly.

The journey to the East Sea Dragon Hall yielded great benefits for everyone.

In the process, there were significant changes in strength and realm on all fronts.

As he anticipated, Zhu Qingyu, Ice Fairy, and others broke many shackles, especially Pure Yang Little Celestial Master, who shattered ten shackles. By estimation, this group of people can at least break through ten to twenty shackles.

While the gap with Lu Yuan is vast, it's already quite commendable.

Breaking Genetic Shackles isn't simple at all.

Especially with the guidance from the Three Immortal Islands.

It equates to systematic learning, much quicker than others.

All in all, the group belonging to the Celestial Court is thriving.

Furthermore, the outside world plunged into chaos again, as many Outer Realm entities gained support and allegiance from domestic forces.

They occupied some famous mountains and rivers as bases, awaiting the arrival of their kin, which aroused discontent among some citizens.

After all, no matter how one puts it, they are outsiders, though they comprehend the situation as it is.

More stronger beings will arrive, which are impossible to resist.

Unless a full-scale war erupts.

But considering the current strength of China and Earth, how could they resist?

Fortunately, since Lu Yuan slaughtered a batch of formidable Outer Realm creatures during this period, humanity wasn't targeted, making it somewhat more peaceful than the first anomaly.

Yet no one knows, this peace is quite fragile, ready to shatter at any moment.

Currently, Earth is under the protection of a mysterious force.

But if.

That force disappears?

Everyone has a great sense of crisis, realizing that the only solution is to strengthen themselves.

Luckily, the authorities are not idle, actively responding by building the Celestial Court and recruiting more Awakened.

After Lu Yuan emerged, understanding these situations left him very calm. Previously, the arrival of Outer Realm creatures caused significant upheaval, maintaining this temporary stability now isn't the worst outcome.

As long as he continues to grow strong, the situation won't change.

After strolling through the Trial Institute,

he prepared to return to his room to stabilize his realm.

However, on the way, he happened to encounter Jiang Ningxian walking out.

"Got stronger again?" Jiang Ningxian's eyes brightened, and then she smiled, "It seems that King Lu's harvest at the East Sea Dragon Hall was quite fruitful."

She seemed to enjoy chatting with Lu Yuan, propping her head up with her hands, lying on the wall, two small dimples appearing on her face.

If one ignored her identity, she would appear to be an extremely beautiful girl-next-door.

After long interactions, it was found that her personality was also quite good.

She did not have an aloof demeanor.

"Not bad."

Lu Yuan smiled, then inquired about the folded space.

They only spent a few hours going to the Dragon Hall, yet outside, a month had passed.

He was not familiar with this aspect, and with various resurgences and mutations happening later on, folded space and Mythical Secret Realms would become more frequent, so he had to learn about it in advance.

"Time passing?" Jiang Ningxian pondered for a while after hearing this, then explained that indeed such situations exist, but generally speaking, it indicates that the spatial realm is not very stable, or maybe there's some special energy contained within.

As for the case of the East Sea Dragon Hall, the space is not very stable, perhaps having undergone a great battle.

However, regarding what exactly happened there, she couldn't say definitively.

After all, it was a long time ago.

Jiang Ningxian's ancestors had migrated to other Star Realms long ago.

"Is that so? I understand now."

Lu Yuan nodded, gaining some information about folded space from her.

"By the way, as the restrictions of heaven and earth are gradually lifted, I might go into retreat for a while. If anything happens, find Uncle Jiang first." Jiang Ningxian spoke with a smile.

Since the second resurgence and mutation, her condition had always been like this because her bloodline talents were no longer suppressed.

Although now her strength and realm didn't seem very high, as time passed,

she would definitely become very strong.

This, Lu Yuan could see.

He understood that if it weren't for the suppression of this world's heaven and earth, her realm would be even higher than his.

"Alright." He didn't say much more, nodding in agreement.

Soon, they both returned to their respective rooms.

Jiang Ningxian did not immediately start cultivating.

"Father said that the Galaxy Star Realm would usher in a great era, eventually leading the entire universe into a splendid golden age, where prodigies from various Star Realms compete to tread the strongest path of evolution, and this world has the innate conditions to produce several children of destiny. Could this Lu Yuan become one of them?"

She thought of what her father had told her before leaving; simply put, this place was too extraordinary.

It could potentially become the center of the universe, and the so-called children of destiny.

are those bearing fortuitous destinies.

Of course,

it is not limited to people from this world only.

As long as one arrives, they may receive the blessing of fortuitous destiny.

But such things are mystical, hard to describe, difficult to determine.

Jiang Ningxian was contemplating whether, based on Lu Yuan's performance, he truly had the qualifications to become one of the so-called children of destiny.

"I must accelerate too, many people I know will appear, and our encounters will certainly be interesting."

She chuckled softly, then waved her hand, causing an unknown light shield to appear.

It enveloped her entirely, providing some sort of protection.

Thus,

there was no problem in entering retreat.

Meanwhile,

Lu Yuan also sat cross-legged, eyes closed tightly.

He had just entered the Venerable King Realm, significantly boosting his strength, and needed to properly digest and adapt.

Simultaneously, after reaching this realm, he needed to reforge his five viscera and six bowels, eliminating all impurities, transforming them into something divine, achieving a true unification of spirit and flesh.

If the path of evolution were compared to traversing the sea, the body would be the boat, and the spirit the person on the boat.

Only when the two achieve true unification can one reach the other shore in this endless sea of suffering.

Thus, the Venerable King Realm is extremely important, a step before becoming a True God.

Lu Yuan could not be careless in his cultivation and evolution at this stage.

Especially after entirely digesting and adapting.

He also needed to retrain his viscera and bowels, but these were not troublesome for him.

Having assimilated the eleventh-level Blood Slaughter and the Great Sun Flame Divine Furnace, in terms of body and viscera,

Lu Yuan could be said to be quite perfect, needing only to mythify them.

By unlocking previous Genetic Shackles,

he could then unleash even greater powers and terrifying potential.

This way, in his current retreat, unlike before, he didn't need to be fully immersed.

He could still divert his mind to do other things.

Such as observing the developments outside.

And researching the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Order.

Thus,

time passed by little by little.

A few days later, Lu Yuan had finally adapted to all his powers, wielding them at will.

But on that very day, when he once again retrieved his communicator to view some news and messages,

he suddenly saw a post with a video attached, its content simple: Kongtong Mountain had been behaving very unusually, radiating magnificent hues reaching the sky day and night, and some Outer Realm creatures had started gathering there.

At the same time, the official agency responsible for monitoring famous mountains and rivers had detected extremely mysterious energy fluctuations at Kongtong Mountain.

It seemed that within, a large concealed space was hidden, previously obscured.

Now... it seems to be about to emerge...
