Chapter 125: Return? No!
[The golden ruler, upon meeting you, acted like a loyal hound and pounced straight at you.]
[You had no way to dodge. It slammed into your forehead and entered your skull.]
[Only after binding with it did you learn its name.]
["Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler!"]
[You swallowed hard, suddenly enlightened.]
[You had actually arrived in the Primordial World!]
[Gu Yue and Hu Liena were extremely curious about the ruler. Without hesitation, you shared its information with them.]
[The two women gasped in disbelief.]
[The so-called Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King would amount to nothing here!]
[Hu Liena wouldn't even qualify as an ant…]
[Because the ants here were Innate Sacred Beings!!]
[You knew the Primordial World. You also knew this was only the dawn of heaven and earth, when opportunities and dangers were everywhere.]
[The fact that you had picked up the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler proved your luck still worked here.]
[At the same time… the world's great dangers had nothing to do with you.]
[You were simply too weak. And you had no cultivation method. Fortunately, you could recite the Dao De Jing. You decided to test whether it truly worked…]
[Sitting cross-legged, you silently recited the Dao De Jing. Instantly, the sky turned golden. Boundless merit descended upon you from the heavens.]
[You were the first being after the creation of heaven and earth to create an orthodox cultivation method. The Heavenly Dao responded, bestowing merit upon you.]
[You were stunned. You hadn't expected the Dao De Jing to actually function as a cultivation method and to earn Heavenly Dao merit.]
[You condensed the merit behind you, forming circles of golden merit halos—several of them.]
[If you absorbed this merit, you could ascend to immortality in one step. But you did not. In this world, merit was often more useful than cultivation.]
[An idea struck you. You knew many ways to earn merit. After brief consideration, you began taking action.]
[You drilled wood to make fire. You built houses from stone. You crafted clothing from leaves.]
[You taught Dao De Jing to beasts whose spiritual intelligence had just awakened…]
[If you weren't earning merit, you were on the way to earning merit.]
[You accumulated so much merit that over a dozen golden halos shone behind you. Wherever you went, you became the focus of countless Innate Sacred Beings.]
[You taught Gu Yue and Hu Liena how to cultivate. You continued traveling. Now you could finally fly. You picked up numerous Innate Spirit Treasures and distributed them to the two women.]
[You unexpectedly found a gray, misty pearl. You felt it was extraordinary; it resembled the legendary… Chaos Pearl!]
[It truly was the Chaos Pearl. But your cultivation was still too low to refine it.]
[You traveled for a long time. Strangely, you never encountered a single ferocious beast, even though this was the era of the Ferocious Beast Tribulation. You didn't even see a shadow of one.]
[You attracted the attention of the Heavenly Dao. It found you unusual—especially you and Hu Liena. You were "human." Innately human. Though weak, your form was identical to Pangu's.]
[You were Innate Dao Bodies!]
[The Heavenly Dao held you in high regard. Your luck and merit were terrifying indeed…]
[Time in the Primordial World was immeasurable. After an unknown duration, you finally became an Immortal.]
[You comprehended your own path and created your own cultivation method. You leapt directly past Earth Immortal, reaching Heavenly Immortal. Then you surpassed Heavenly Immortal and entered the realm of Profound Immortal, mysterious beyond measure.]
[You advanced to Golden Immortal. Golden Immortals were undying and eternal.]
[The two women reached Heavenly Immortal. In the Primordial World, they were now at least qualified ants.]
[You consumed a wave of the resources you had accumulated and broke through yet again!]
[You became a Great Luo Golden Immortal!]
[You walked alone through the River of Time, leaving your mark within it. Even if you perished unexpectedly, you could return from the River of Time.]
[To your astonishment, you were the first being to reach the Great Luo Golden Immortal!]
[Many Innate Sacred Beings had yet to be born, yet you had already reached Great Luo Golden Immortal. It was incomprehensible.]
[With your help, Gu Yue and Hu Liena reached Profound Immortal.]
[You continued traveling. You had no idea how many treasures you'd picked up. Your cultivation skyrocketed to the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.]
[One day, you gained insight. Finding a blessed land, you entered seclusion. In mere moments, you broke through to Hunyuan Golden Immortal!]
Wang Li: "..."
At this level, could he even die?
"If only cultivation could be drawn from the simulator! I don't want anything else, just cultivation!"
Hunyuan Golden Immortal — a quasi-saint!
[The Ferocious Beast Tribulation erupted. The Beast Sovereign Shen Ni broke into the Great Luo Golden Immortal and sought to destroy the Primordial World.]
[Hongjun and the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans launched an attack against the beasts.]
[You were unaware of this. You continued traveling.]
[Your cultivation continued rising. Yet, you felt something was wrong.]
[Wasn't your breakthrough speed… too fast?]
[It was as if someone wanted you to break through quickly to complete some mission.]
[You frowned in disbelief.]
[You had reached the peak of Hunyuan Golden Immortal. One step more, and you would become a Saint, or what is called a Hunyuan Da Luo Golden Immortal.]
[But… you didn't want to break through.]
[You felt that once you stepped into Hunyuan Da Luo Golden Immortal, something terrible would occur, though you couldn't explain why.]
[You knew that no matter how strong your luck or merit, in a world like the Primordial World, one must tread carefully.]
[Even Pangu had been calculated against by the Great Dao, let alone a minor figure like you.]
[Yet at this stage, breakthrough was no longer your choice.]
[Your cultivation rose relentlessly. Your luck intensified. It was as if the entire world wanted you to break through.]
[Your expression grew strange. You looked at Gu Yue and Hu Liena, a trace of reluctance in your eyes.]
[You felt your journey might end here.]
[Others would dream of this realm. For you, it was within reach—yet you panicked.]
[You looked at the Chaos Pearl in your hand and suddenly understood everything.]
[If the Chaos Pearl truly solved everything, would that existence have been calculated to death? Or was he simply selfless?]
[You shook your head. At last, you had your answer.]
[You refined the Chaos Pearl. You wielded the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler. Within the Chaos Pearl, you split heaven and earth anew.]
[You broke through, reaching Hunyuan Da Luo Golden Immortal.]
[If you exited the Chaos Pearl now, the Primordial World would collapse. You would survive.]
[You sighed. You finally saw where the trap lay.]
[You did not leave. Instead, you pulled Gu Yue and Hu Liena into the Chaos Pearl. You transformed your body into heaven and earth, allowing the Chaos Pearl to detach from the Primordial World and form an independent realm.]
[You named this realm: Hongyun Realm.]
[You… died.]
[As a Hunyuan Da Luo Golden Immortal, you have the chance to return. Do you wish to return?]
[No!]
