The Heavenly Tribulation had finally dispersed, and so had the terrifying Heaven's Will that had enveloped Qin Zun. It had disappeared without a trace, leaving nothing behind. If it wasn't for the fact that the nearby chaos had been destroyed to an unknown extent, no one would have imagined that a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation had once taken place here.
Qin Zun, who had survived the final Heavenly Tribulation, gradually recovered from his injuries. Rays of golden light rose from Qin Zun's body. In just a moment, he had recovered to his original state. At least, that was how it looked on the outside.
In the next instant, Qin Zun stepped in front of Ye Xiwen and said, "Many thanks for your help, Fellow Daoist. This Qin will never forget this!"
He knew very well that if it weren't for Ye Xiwen's protection this time, the consequences would have been extremely serious. He might even have died here in a bloodbath.
Many of those restless half-step Sovereigns wanted to kill him even if they had to pay a certain price.
This was all thanks to Ye Xiwen's presence, blocking all the enemies.
Qin Zun still addressed Ye Xiwen as Fellow Daoist because he recognized Ye Xiwen's combat strength. Otherwise, how could a Sovereign address a half-step Sovereign as Fellow Daoist when the difference between them was so small?
Dragons did not live with snakes, and eagles in the sky would not interact with ants on the ground. Only people of the same level could communicate.
"It's nothing. On the path of seeking the Dao, you and I are both Daoists. Today, you helped me once. Tomorrow, I'll help you once. It's all for the sake of seeking the Dao. There's no need to stand on ceremony!" Ye Xiwen waved his hand.
At his level, there were simply too few people who could walk with him.
People on the path of seeking the Dao were lonely. No one could understand such loneliness. This was because every step he took was unprecedented, and no one would be able to surpass him in the future.
The path was long, and he would search from top to bottom!
Not to mention people who shared the same ideals. There were even fewer people who could be trusted and entrusted to a certain degree.
"Let's go. We'll return to the Martial Epoch first!"
Qin Zun nodded. Then, he took a step forward and returned to the Martial Epoch.
Ye Xiwen also took a step forward and returned to the Martial Epoch.
The two of them sat opposite each other in the Divine Court.
Ye Xiwen raised his cup, took a sip of the immortal wine, and said, "Congratulations on attaining the Great Dao, Fellow Daoist. From now on, you'll be untainted by dust, untarnished by myriad tribulations, and live forever!"
Qin Zun shook his head and said: "After entering this realm, I realized that the grand dao is just the beginning. We are still on the path of the dao. The most important thing is survival. Half-step sovereigns can live for more than a dozen epochs, while sovereigns can live twice as long. But even if they can live twice as long, their time will come!"
Ye Xiwen's expression became dignified. Even a Lord Ruler couldn't live for eternity. Even the era of the Lord Ruler had been destroyed. Even the world had its end. Let alone a human being.
That was why he didn't want to wait one epoch after another until the perfect epoch appeared. He couldn't wait that long, and neither could his friends and family. Even with his protection, they would still have to face the Celestial Decay after a few epochs. They would die without any disasters or illnesses.
"Those sovereigns have their own unique methods to prolong their lives. But in general, they are related to the destruction of the epoch!" Qin Zun said. "Now I know why those sovereigns spread their Great Dao to the new epoch at the beginning of the epoch. It's because they can still improve through this method. They accumulate from epoch to epoch, and slowly become stronger. And when the epoch is destroyed, they can also use the methods they left at the beginning of the epoch to completely destroy the epoch, and absorb the essence of the epoch to strengthen themselves!"
"And in the martial epoch, who knows how many of those ancient epochs' Lords of Heaven left behind!"
Ye Xiwen's expression was dignified. Previously, his cultivation was not high enough, so he didn't understand the various key points. Now he understood why Devouring Heaven Divine Lord could grow at such a shocking speed. It must be because of the methods left behind by the Insect Lord.
With the methods left by the Insect Lord in the martial epoch for tens of thousands of years, Devouring Heaven Divine Lord survived the most dangerous stage at the beginning.
These sovereigns of the ancient epochs were more cunning than the last. No one knew how many methods they had left behind.
"So, what you're doing now is going against all the sovereigns. You've cut off their path to immortality. How can they tolerate you?" Qin Zun looked at Ye Xiwen and said.
"Cough, cough!" Qin Zun said and actually coughed out a strand of golden blood.
Ye Xiwen frowned slightly and said, "Are your previous Dao injuries not healed yet?"
Qin Zun nodded and said, "That's the Dao injuries left behind from the previous Heavenly Retribution. I forced the Heavenly Retribution, but it's just a small problem. If I were a half-step sovereign, these Dao injuries would be enough to kill me. But now that I've crossed that step, I only need a period of closed-door training to recover from the injuries!"
His words were filled with incomparable confidence, and it was indeed so. With his cultivation, he was indeed at the top of the current world. Moreover, he was in the prime of his life. Even the most difficult to heal Dao injuries were only a matter of time for him.
Hearing Qin Zun say this, Ye Xiwen felt slightly relieved. To a large extent, he saw Qin Zun as a reliable ally. When facing the unknown future, he could have a helper.
Naturally, the stronger Qin Zun was, the better.
"Even if I'm blocking their path, I still have to fight. If I don't fight, how can I really live until that perfect epoch appears? Those people are just wishful thinking. They definitely can't do it! "Ye Xiwen said indifferently, but his words were incomparably firm.
Qin Zun didn't understand why Ye Xiwen's sense of crisis was so strong. He was clearly a person born in this epoch. Speaking of which, he still had a very long life. Even as a half-step sovereign, he still had a dozen epochs left to live. Did he really have to fight in the martial epoch?
After stepping into the sovereign realm, Qin Zun's vision and thinking were completely different from before. Even his vision could see many epochs into the future. He was no longer limited to the martial epoch.
His plans were also more far-reaching. In his opinion, the gains and losses of an epoch were no longer that important. As long as he was still alive, there was still hope.
Ye Xiwen could only shake his head. He couldn't tell Qin Zun that he learned from the dao character stele that there was still an unknown number of years until the perfect epoch arrived.
"I plan to establish a perfect epoch in the martial epoch. I plan to make the martial epoch into a perfect epoch. Even if I have to go against all the other sovereigns, I don't care. Fellow daoist, I now formally invite you to join my plan. If my plan succeeds, then you won't have to suffer for so many epochs. Isn't it better to live a carefree and carefree life? Do you want to be like those ancient epochs' sovereigns, using all sorts of methods to prolong their lives?" Ye Xiwen said. "This plan is very difficult and will offend many people. However, to me, it is worth it. Even if there are millions of people, I will still go forward. I just don't know what your choice is!"
Qin Zun was silent for a while. This invitation was completely different from before. He stood in the position of a sovereign. It was a completely different concept from when he was just a half-step sovereign. His way of thinking was also different.
"Since fellow daoist is so ambitious, I am willing to give it a try. However, with your current strength, I'm afraid it is still not enough!" Qin Zun said, "Although you can kill sovereigns as a half-step sovereign, in fact, among the sovereigns, the Puppet Heaven Monarch, the Blazing Heaven Monarch, the Insect Lord, and the Blood Monarch are still not the strongest. In fact, they can only be regarded as the weakest among the sovereigns."
"How are the sovereigns divided? Fellow daoist, please enlighten me! " Ye Xiwen said. He only knew that his combat strength was constantly increasing. However, he did not know how the sovereigns were divided. His realm was not high enough. There were many things that he did not know even though they were separated by a wall.
Qin Zun waved his hand and said, "According to the information I obtained after the tribulation, the weakest sovereigns are the ones you killed before. They were only early-stage sovereigns. Then, there is the mid-stage sovereigns. Above them is the late-stage sovereigns. According to my speculation, when the Fortune Creation Heaven Monarch entered the mysterious place, he was probably a late-stage sovereign. Above that is the peak sovereign. There must be peak sovereigns in the mysterious place. For example, the founders of the Eternal Sacred Land and the Ancient Chaos Sacred Land. Therefore, if you want to contend with them and make the Martial Epoch into the modern world's perfect era, your current cultivation is not enough!" Ye Xiwen suddenly understood.
Previously, when he was in the Eternal Sacred Land, he had already felt that something was wrong. There were strong and weak sovereigns. Some sovereigns could only enter through the Eternal Gate. However, there were also strong sovereigns like the Fortune Creation Heaven Monarch who could enter the mysterious place by himself.
Ye Xiwen immediately felt an immense pressure.
"After this, I will go into closed-door cultivation to heal my injuries. After that, I will break through to the late-stage sovereign. I have been preparing for this day. There is hope in tens of millions of years. However, during this time, you can only rely on yourself, Fellow Daoist. With your half-step sovereign body, your current combat strength is already the limit. If you want to improve further, the only way is to break through to the Sovereign realm. With your accumulation and foundation, once you break through, I am afraid that you will directly enter the late-stage sovereign realm. If that is the case, your plan may still be possible!"
