"Heaven births water from the first, the earth completes it at six. The earth births fire from the second, heaven completes it at seven. Heaven births wood from the third, the earth completes it at eight. The earth births metal from the fourth, heaven completes it at nine. Heaven births earth from the fifth, the earth completes it at ten."
"Therefore, heaven creates divine things, and the Sage follows; the transformations of heaven and earth, the Sage understands; signs are hung from heaven showing blessings or misfortunes, and the Sage interprets; the river births the map, and Luo births the book, the Sage follows."
"Luo Shu, River Map, Turtle Shell Runes, the center's spacetime singularity."
Zhou Yan observed the Turtle Shell Runes again, contemplating deeply in his heart.
Finally, he summoned the ancient voice within the Turtle Shell, inquiring about the final path once foretold.
In this region, as Zhou Yan called out, the ancient voice within the Turtle Shell finally manifested, though it was weaker and silent, seeming not to have recovered despite the Turtle Shell's slumber.
"Now, sending you back to the Heavenly Soul Plane, and handing you to the Heavenly Soul Clan, is it feasible?"
Zhou Yan inquired.
The ancient voice did not answer, but instead seemed to be sensing the heavens and earth of this place.
After a long while, it seemed to start sensing Zhou Yan's condition, and was astonished at Zhou Yan's current realm.
"After more than thirty years, you have surpassed the Ninety-nine Bloodline Transformations, achieving Hundred Transformations? You have the right to know the truth now."
"The truth belonging to yourself."
The voice said.
Zhou Yan fell into silence, and said, "My own truth? Is there anything in this world that can still be trusted?"
"Extract the chip, place it here, and using the core mechanism of this ark, the Golden Circle, as a power source, replicate a world—the Sword Burial Ancestor Star, deduce a series of laws, and imbue it with the Power of Reincarnation, then you can see for yourself."
"In a world of science, man without the strength to bind a chicken cannot measure the height of a mountain, yet can erect a stick to measure that stick's length, the length of the stick's shadow and the length of the mountain's shadow, thus obtaining a very precise height of the mountain."
"Therefore, if one can truly replicate a Sword Burial Ancestor Star, then, taking with you your current memories, go back and see, you will understand everything."
"With your current realm, you have exceeded the standard, and you have the qualification."
"As for me, one of the Four Holy Beasts born from the beginning of heaven and earth, Xuanwu, a Taichu Creature of the Primordial Era."
"Zhou Yan, the matters of the Heavenly Soul Plane, once you return from the replicated Sword Burial Ancestor Star, can be dealt with then. At that time, the Nine Origin Reincarnation would have truly begun, the contest for the Transcendent Immortal Throne, the campaign of the Supreme Immortal Path, the quest for the Immortal Road would also have started."
"But you must know that the replicated Sword Burial Ancestor Star, everything within it is like a True Void Heavenly Prohibition, do not become enamored within, do not form bonds with anyone, and absolutely do not linger, understand?"
The ancient voice said.
Zhou Yan remained silent.
This seemed to be a feasible approach.
To learn all the secrets and see through all illusions.
Everything would be revealed in complete detail.
Even, returning to the replicated Sword Burial Ancestor Star, everything would begin, and many things could be learned in advance, could see the results.
More importantly, it would allow seeking the location of the remaining Six Paths Xuan Yuan Sword Fragments.
This should be an excellent opportunity.
Now, with all hope lost, once a Sword Burial Ancestor Star is replicated, one would meet those not met, see those unseen, roam the world unmatched, only I am supreme, see family, lovers, friends, etc...
Based on Zhou Wangchen's situation, it would even be possible to see if the father's statue truly possesses immortal divinity, or if it is indeed connected to the dried corpse.
To see what the brother's inheritance truly is, and...
There could be much gained, no regrets left, as if returning to the past, as if starting anew.
However... the replicated Sword Burial Ancestor Star ultimately is false, all within is false, a True Void Heavenly Prohibition, impossible to truly exist.
This is merely an impending deduction, from which to know the truth, without forming bonds with any existence.
From originally not being able to linger passively, to now actively choosing not to linger, this is simply exceedingly laughable.
"Then when I return, the deduced world, what about me there? If I interfere with that world's operation, would that not change everything? And, how can I trust you?"
Zhou Yan chuckled, his words indifferent.
"When you return, what identity would you assume? Master? Brother? Lee Ran?"
"Additionally, you need not trust me, for you are already gradually deciphering the Secret Technique of the Turtle Shell Rune, and you will ultimately understand the powerful Secret Technique of this spacetime singularity, a place nurtured from the very beginning of the Primordial Era, capable of deducing worlds. Otherwise, it would not have birthed 'The Book of Changes', a great scripture. This ancient battle ark's core mechanism, the Golden Circle, is the golden circle from the opening of heaven and earth.
Here lies endless puppets, capable of carving various lives, imparting emotions, capable of forming a world's population. The Sword Burial Ancestor Star is not large, and many modules come from the Desolate Lands of various Divine Domains, purely copying and piecing together, how simple."
The ancient voice said blandly.
As for whether Zhou Yan believed, it did not care.
It only provides a method.
"How can a point become a plane? And how can a plane become space?"
Zhou Yan did not answer the turtle shell; instead, he murmured to himself, asking himself.
"A point cannot form a plane, only two points can form a line, and three points can form a plane."
"And a plane, only by not moving within the plane, can form space."
Zhou Yan pondered, then affirmed the turtle shell's statement.
"You also know the secret of my fundamental nature. If you can't be trusted, then nothing in this world can be trusted. Moreover, you are right, replicating the Sword Burial Ancestor Star only consumes a bit more time; I have all other resources now. Besides, this is also my hope of advancing further. The remaining six fragments of the Xuanyuan Sword must have been missed in the course of my life; going to see them is fine as well."
"I just didn't expect this day would come."
Zhou Yan smiled, somewhat ruefully.
"Whether it can be copied completely is still uncertain. Moreover, when you return, you will still be you and can't be someone else. But you will have a unique memory. If you discover differences in the copied world, find the existence that recognizes your unique identity as 'Evil Venerate', you must kill it."
"That would be an unsettling presence in the copied world."
"Also, do not linger. Otherwise, the false will become true, falling into eternal perdition."
The turtle shell said.
Zhou Yan nodded.
Subsequently, Zhou Yan, thoughtful, converged a drop of Emperor Blood, forming a new self. This self, like him, possessed almost all of the power but had no emotions. Its bloodline only had ninety-nine transformations.
Because Zhou Yan separated this drop of Emperor Blood, the number of his Emperor Blood transformations regressed by one layer, becoming ninety-nine transformations.
"This False Self will remain here. If any accident occurs, let this emotionless being walk the path in my stead in the upcoming battles beyond the domain."
Zhou Yan said, leaving the Soul Suppressing Bow behind but taking the Xuanyuan Sword.
After that, Zhou Yan let the False Self continue its enlightenment, while the True Self entered the fifth layer of the battleship, taking the core dynamic of the Golden Circle warship hub.
Simultaneously, Zhou Yan took out the turtle shell, sensing the Ancient Rune and space-time singularity within, and using his unique carving skill, began to recall all the experiences on Sword Burial Ancestor Star.
He carved bit by bit, each of the main characters being carved out.
As for those less familiar, those with some impression, Zhou Yan sculpted them from clay to create people.
In such time, time became incredibly long, as Zhou Yan used the world of heaven and earth within his Soul Sea as the outline, creating Thunder Flame Breaking Path Mountain, creating Blood Water Lake with the Sacrificial Blood Pool, and creating Sacrificial Ancient Tea Tree with the life divine medicine of Heavenly Pool and Thunder Marsh.
At the same time, Zhou Yan, recalling the Yuan Ci Secret Realm, created Sacrificial Heaven Ancient City.
Zhou Yan, recalling the world of ice and glaciers, created the Cold Ice Palace and Cold Ice Sword Sect.
Zhou Yan, recalling the Lonely Twin Peaks on the battleship, created Lonely Sword Peak.
Recalling Kunlun Immortal Pool, Zhou Yan created Sword Peak Immortal Pond, and created the Zhou Family's Sword Origin Pool.
Zhou Yan immersed himself in this creation process, combining the nine domain rules he had comprehended to gradually perfect the planet.
With the Golden Circle as the main body, it evolved into a golden planet.
The golden planet gradually became vast, began its growth and transformation, began projecting unknown rules. Endless corpses found their corresponding forms and began to enter the Golden Circle, as if the dead cultivators started massive resurrection, like entering the reincarnation channel, opening the cycle of life, past and present life.
In this process, the passing of time slowed, becoming somewhat different.
The space-time singularity of the turtle shell was magnified, projecting twisted rules.
Zhou Yan seemed to see all the events once happened in memory rapidly rewinding, like a time origin rewind, everything seemed to be retreating to a starting point, a space-time "singularity".
"Time cannot flow backward, but time can trace the source. To defy the law is merely for derivation. If the result is locked, no matter how the process develops, the result will be the same."
"And this time, it is to return to the copied world, participate in True Void Heavenly Prohibition, seek my own truth, find the missing Xuanyuan Sword fragments, and also search for the Transcendence Method, to tread into the Venerable's Method."
Zhou Yan had a goal in mind.
"By then, those who are enemies will never be friends, and those who are friends will never be enemies. Right and wrong will be clear."
Zhou Yan used Emperor Blood, his soul, the Golden Circle, statues, and the space-time singularity of the turtle shell for derivation, creating and replicating the Sword Burial Ancestor Star, a new derivation.
And this entire process went much smoother than Zhou Yan imagined. Zhou Yan took a full ninety years to complete this grand feat.
An ancient ancestor star, not particularly large, floated in the palm of Zhou Yan's hand, capable of becoming large or small, capable of derivation at any time.
And this planet, Zhou Yan sent it directly into the core land of the ancient battleship's hub, completely guarded by the battleship, free from any external interference.
In this way, even if Zhou Yan wanted to shatter or terminate the replication plan, he could no longer do so.
Only by coming out from it again could he destroy the replication plan that he personally created.
