"If I tell you personally, it's essentially telling you what I'm afraid of."

The Heavenly Dao Will calmly narrated:

"And if I don't tell you, there's still a big chance that this will happen later.

"So, whether I tell you or not, there's a probability of this event occurring, and your subjective will is now the effective power to stop it from happening.

"Come with me."

It seemed to have figured things out.

"Hmm?"

Wang Jixuan hadn't yet reacted when the starlight in front suddenly exploded.

A strand of his Primordial Spirit was pulled into the starry sky.

Wang Jixuan looked down to see a vast expanse of land beneath him, with Immortal Islands floating above and endless waters within the Four Seas.

Immortal Realm!

On the periphery of this world, there were 'pipes' made up of seven-colored rosy clouds, stretching infinitely towards the sparkling stars, and the Universe and Time subtly changed here.

Wang Jixuan felt something and turned to look, seeing further away beyond the Immortal Realm.

The starlight suddenly vanished, and masses of gray Qi enveloped the Immortal Realm.

The Time Dao no longer existed, and the Qiankun Dao became incredibly chaotic... No, the Time Dao was still there, only Wang Jixuan's Dao Realm was too low to detect it, and here Time and Universe were fragmented and disordered.

Every strand of Qi here contained endless time and mass.

Chaotic Sea!

"I used the Power of Heaven to shield you, allowing you to briefly perceive the Chaotic Sea, an experience only a Taiyin Golden Immortal could have."

The voice of the Heavenly Dao Will came.

Wang Jixuan turned to see, and the Heavenly Dao Will had already removed its cloak.

It moved forward, its form constantly transforming, sometimes becoming an old woman, sometimes a young woman, sometimes an old man, and sometimes a dashing young man.

The only unchanging thing was its eyes, eternally long-lasting, undisturbed by anything.

The Heavenly Dao Will flicked its fingers lightly, and the Chaotic Sea surged once more, presenting a simple schematic in front of Wang Jixuan.

On the far left was a fist-sized Black Hole, which suddenly expanded into a large pot-like porridge.

"This isn't just a change in space, but a simultaneous change in time and space."

The Heavenly Dao Will said this.

Its form solidified into the shape of an elder in a white coat, with messy hair and a somewhat large nose.

It somewhat resembled, in Wang Jixuan's impression, the great scientist Einstein from Earth Civilization.

The Heavenly Dao Will continued to explain:

"Now we are in this porridge, and the Immortal Realm is located in the space-time where the earliest celestial bodies of the universe formed.

"The Immortal Realm became the convergence point of all rules and the Great Path.

"Because of the existence of the Immortal Realm, lifeforms have the chance to understand these rules, and eventually gradually master them, becoming extraordinary individuals.

"This is truly the romance of the universe.

"However, individual transcendence is destined to be an exceptionally arduous path because the power of an individual is limited, but lifeforms, or rather civilizations, are extremely intelligent."

The Heavenly Dao Will flicked its fingers again.

The sky behind the Immortal Realm was filled with a myriad of stars.

Each star was a massive elliptical galaxy, with many elliptical galaxies connected by nebulae.

The growth and death of the stars were vividly presented to Wang Jixuan at this moment.

The Heavenly Dao Will softly said: "Look, the first civilization to collectively ascend has appeared."

Wang Jixuan shifted his gaze to a corner of the universe, where a weak flash appeared.

In the flash, a cluster of virtual shadows slowly detached from the galaxy.

This virtual shadow initially looked like a human brain, gradually turning into a spherical shape, resembling a single-celled organism, yet it contained an endless complexity of light and shadow.

The virtual shadow enveloped the entire galaxy, swiftly extracting energy, causing star after star to extinguish.

And when the energy it controlled surpassed the current universe's limit, numerous Daoist Principles trembled simultaneously; it lightly pulsed and disappeared.

"After collective ascension, the civilization became a transcendent collective and entered a higher spatial dimension."

The Heavenly Dao Will whispered:

"Look at the Chaotic Sea again."

Wang Jixuan turned his head, and a protrusion appeared in the Chaotic Sea, gently swaying before turning into a monster with hundreds of tentacles, wandering in the Chaotic Sea.

Wang Jixuan was stunned: "This..."

"The Daoist Principles here are very complex; I can only summarize and explain them briefly for you."

The Heavenly Dao Will continued:

"What you see as the Chaotic Sea actually has six stages; it is now the sixth stage, where, in the space-time the Immortal Realm exists, the Chaotic Sea surrounds the Immortal Realm, mutually influencing each other.

"This is the Sixth Epoch.

"The transcendent civilizations that are born after collective ascension, even if they enter higher dimensions, still need to draw energy from the Material Universe to maintain their existence.

"Mortals must consume food, Cultivators must absorb Spiritual Power, and they are the same.

"So they utilize projections in the Chaotic Sea, extend themselves, and absorb power.

"Their thoughts exist in higher dimensions, observing this universe like Gods, and their existence is also a potential threat to the Immortal Realm, so the Great Powers and Great Divine Ability ancient beings of the Immortal Realm collaborated to try and besiege it."

Wang Jixuan asked: "Did the Immortal Realm win?"

"No victory, nor defeat; neither could defeat the other."

The Heavenly Dao Will said quietly:

"If categorized, it's actually individual transcendence versus collective transcendence, the ultimate products of these two evolutionary paths, undergoing survival competition.

"I was already born by then, calmly observing all this.

"Sentient beings are also part of the world, and the power of sentient beings is also a kind of power of the world, so at first, I considered these collisions as mere energy collisions.
