Chapter 792: Enlightenment
Within the Chaos Void.
Mo Xu Jun and the other time beings also noticed the numerous terrifying existences from various spacetimes outside, and despite the dimensional space isolation, they could feel the overwhelming pressure as if the heavens were collapsing.
In the vision of Mo Xu Jun and the other time beings, it was impossible to observe the 'full picture' of any terrifying existence; they could only vaguely see fragments of anomalies.
Some shone with infinite light, some dazzled with vibrant colors, some distorted space, and some filled everything.
"So many powerful beings?"
"Powerful beings far surpassing Time Lords? We observed the dark collapse of the timeline because of them?"
Mo Xu Jun immediately reacted.
"Are these powerful beings here for the Milky Way?"
Luo Hou couldn't help but speak up, "They don't come in peace."
The other time beings remained silent.
Even a fool could see that these time beings didn't come with peaceful intentions.
Otherwise, how could they cause the collapse of one timeline after another into darkness? And with so many powerful beings joining forces, it was obvious that they intended to 'force a change' in leadership.
"Let's see what the Milky Way does."
"Regardless of the outcome, we stand with the Milky Way."
Mo Xu Jun spoke up.
Over the years, due to Lin Yuan's connections, they had reaped numerous benefits.
Now that Lin Yuan was in crisis and enemies had arrived at his doorstep, they naturally knew which side to choose.
Outside the Chaos Void.
Lin Yuan looked at the terrifying beings and smiled, "Negotiate? How do you intend to negotiate?"
Having reached the brink of the Ascension Path, every move could affect multiple timelines. Observing such beings through the timeline was impossible.
Therefore, Lin Yuan couldn't foresee the outcome of his confrontation with so many terrifying beings.
However, it was evident that Lin Yuan felt the pressure.
Under the influence of the Supreme Rule Dao Will, these terrifying beings could perfectly merge their powers, and their might was far more than a simple sum of their individual strengths.
As Lin Yuan spoke.
Over five hundred terrifying beings were also observing Lin Yuan.
They were curious about the tribulation that had brought them together under the Supreme Rule Dao Will, and they wondered what kind of being could be so elusive.
"I can't see through it."
"I can't see through it either."
"But the Milky Way doesn't seem willing to directly conflict with us."
"Yes, it seems they want to negotiate with us."
The terrifying beings slightly relaxed, knowing that if they could resolve this tribulation through a more 'peaceful' method, it would be the best outcome.
What if they had to resort to force and threats?
That would be a path with no retreat.
Who knew what terrifying means the Milky Way possessed that even the Supreme Rule Dao Will treated it with such caution? They dared not underestimate it.
"It's simple."
The terrifying being that released infinite light looked at Lin Yuan, "We ask that the Milky Way Lord stop climbing the Ascension Path."
"This is a tribulation bestowed by the Supreme Rule Dao Will. As long as the Milky Way Lord is willing to stop climbing the Ascension Path, we are willing to pay any price."
The terrifying being that released infinite light spoke with a slightly solemn tone, "As long as we overcome this tribulation, it will be equivalent to directly passing through ten tribulations, completing the 'Infinite Tribulation' Ascension Path."
"At that time, if we can ascend, I will do my best to help you, Milky Way."
The terrifying being that released infinite light spoke earnestly.
"Me too."
"Milky Way Lord, if I ascend, I will definitely help you."
"Yes, Milky Way Lord, please fulfill our wishes."
The other terrifying beings immediately assured.
Once this tribulation was successfully overcome, nearly twenty terrifying beings would be able to complete the 'Infinite Tribulation' Ascension Path.
The remaining terrifying beings fixed their gaze on Lin Yuan, and the promises they made were indeed generous.
Promises from nearly twenty future ascenders?
This was no less than what they could gain by climbing the Ascension Path themselves. After all, no being could be certain of their ascension.
"You want me to give up my own Ascension Path and hand over the opportunity to you?" Lin Yuan looked at the numerous terrifying beings with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying being said, "Milky Way Lord, it's not about giving us the opportunity but about whether you can guarantee your own ascension by changing your approach?"
"Yes, can the difficulty of ascending alone be the same as ascending with the help of an ascender?"
"Milky Way Lord, I hope you'll consider this. Perhaps the Ascension Path you're climbing is wrong."
The terrifying beings spoke with enthusiasm.
"What if I refuse?" Lin Yuan asked calmly.
To place the hope of ascension in the hands of others?
Wasn't that like handing over one's life to others?
Not to mention the 'Infinite Tribulation' Ascension Path, which had an extremely low chance of success.
Even if they could ascend, once they became ascenders, would they truly be willing to help Lin Yuan ascend? The oaths and cause-and-effect of ascenders, who stood above all, couldn't bind them.
"Refusal?"
The terrifying being of infinite radiance fell into a brief silence.
The other beings also fell silent.
The promises they had just made were already at their limits.
If even this was rejected, there would be no point in continuing the negotiation.
"Or perhaps, you abandon your tribulations and let me complete this path of ascension. If I achieve ascension, I will surely assist you in your ascensions. How about it?"
Lin Yuan asked in return.
Upon hearing these words, the numerous terrifying beings fell silent one after another.
They naturally didn't want this, and their concerns were similar to Lin Yuan's.
Who knew if Lin Yuan would be willing to help them ascend after his own ascension?
"You would also refuse, right?"
Lin Yuan smiled slightly.
"Since we can't reach an agreement, we can only try to see what methods the Milky Way Lord has."
The terrifying being of infinite radiance spoke solemnly, "To express our respect, we will join forces and give it our all."
"Yes, Milky Way Lord, if you refuse, we will not only take action against you but also against your clan, descendants, loved ones, and friends. We will use all means to deal with you."
Another terrifying being spoke, their tone ruthless and domineering.
Any being near the end of the path of ascension would do everything to take that final step.
Ascension was right before them, after cultivating for countless eons, all their pursuits were about to be realized.
How could they possibly care about this or that now?
"Not bad, Milky Way Lord, although this move is shameless, we have no other choice."
"Milky Way Lord, there is no hatred or grudge between us. We are doing this solely for our respective Great Daos and ascensions. We will use all means against you, and you can do the same to us."
Another terrifying being spoke.
What they were doing now far surpassed considerations of shame or dignity.
Lin Yuan listened quietly.
He also noticed that the Supreme Rule Dao Will was unable to pinpoint his true body, which was currently climbing the Celestial Jade Stairs.
In other words, these terrifying beings from different spacetimes couldn't truly stop him from climbing the Celestial Jade Stairs.
At worst, he would have to abandon all his true body's manifestations and body doubles.
However, doing so would be equivalent to giving up everything.
Chaos Void? The human race? Mo Xu Jun and the Time Beings? Or the other source worlds? They would all be located and locked onto by these terrifying beings from different spacetimes, guided by the Supreme Rule Dao Will.
Of course, giving up everything was something Lin Yuan was unwilling to accept.
But when truly faced with the choice between everything and ascension, Lin Yuan would choose the latter without hesitation.
As long as he could ascend, his deceased loved ones, friends, and clan could all be resurrected.
Ascended beings could even return to the past and reshape everything, molding the future as they desired.
Naturally, Lin Yuan wouldn't weigh these options, as these terrifying beings had threatened him.
However, this was a choice out of necessity.
Before this, Lin Yuan still intended to try.
To see if he could repel these terrifying beings from different spacetimes.
Within the Chaos Void.
Mo Xu Jun and the Time Beings were anxiously awaiting, their hearts filled with trepidation.
Just then, one of Lin Yuan's manifestations descended.
"Milky Way."
"Milky Way."
Mo Xu Jun and the Time Beings immediately spoke up.
"It seems we can't reach an agreement."
Lin Yuan looked at Mo Xu Jun and the other Time Beings.
"Can't reach an agreement?"
Mo Xu Jun immediately understood Lin Yuan's meaning.
"Rest assured, Milky Way, when it comes down to it, we will not hesitate to abandon all our body doubles and life-preserving methods, giving them no chance to threaten us."
Mo Xu Jun said without hesitation.
As for escaping?
In the face of these beings far surpassing Time Lords, no matter where they fled, that spacetime would be easily found.
If not for Lin Yuan's protection, a mere glance from these terrifying beings would be enough to annihilate them.
"If I ascend, I will resurrect you."
After saying this, Lin Yuan's manifestation quickly dissipated.
He needed to gather his entire being to welcome the upcoming fierce battle.
Outside the Chaos Void.
Lin Yuan flipped his hand, forcibly retracting the Chaos Void behind him.
At his level, even the most advanced dimensional spaces could be forcibly moved and taken away.
Seeing this, the numerous terrifying beings knew that a clash was about to unfold.
Whoosh—
In the instant Lin Yuan retracted the Chaos Void, he made his move. Chaos Primordial Supreme Ease Dao, Chaos Primordial Supreme Origin Dao, Chaos Primordial Supreme Beginning Dao, and Chaos Primordial Taiji Dao instantly permeated the air, targeting the numerous terrifying beings.
Why didn't they flee?
Under the lock of the Supreme Rule Dao Will, no matter how Lin Yuan moved, he was fully exposed in the perception of these terrifying beings, hence there was no need to flee.
Boom!
The four Primordial Chaos Supreme Ease Daos, derived from the Five Primordial Paths, swept through with overwhelming might.
"Such terrifying strength," the terrifying being of infinite light felt the suffocating pressure of the four Primordial Chaos Supreme Ease Daos, and was shocked by the intensity.
The strength of the Galactic Lord surpassed any of them.
If it were a one-on-one battle, none of these terrifying beings could match the Galactic Lord, not even the undefeated ones. They would be swiftly crushed.
"Let's join forces."
The terrifying being of infinite light looked around.
Buzzing—over five hundred terrifying beings immediately took action, their immense auras instantly forming layer upon layer of cages, enveloping Lin Yuan within.
"With the support of the Supreme Rule Dao Will, all our powers can be perfectly merged, and when used together, there will be no internal conflicts or dissipation."
The terrifying being of infinite light thought to himself, and was confident.
Normally, the paths of these terrifying beings are different, and their powers cannot be merged. It's like trying to combine water and fire—how can they be united? Forcing them together would only lead to internal collapse, either extinguishing the fire with water or burning it to ashes.
But the Supreme Rule Dao Will encompasses all, and the powers of over five hundred terrifying beings can be fully accommodated.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yuan furrowed his brows as the four Primordial Chaos Supreme Ease Daos unleashed their might, and under the combined might of over five hundred terrifying beings, he began to rapidly collapse.
"A head-on confrontation is not an option for me."
Lin Yuan concluded that even with the combined powers of over five hundred terrifying beings, they had reached an inconceivable realm.
Layer upon layer of cages, each containing a Primordial Chaos Supreme Ease Dao, descended upon Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan could only endure, his physical body was incredibly resilient, and each particle world within him was comparable to a dimensional space. Additionally, he had various defensive and regenerative abilities.
Even with the complete fusion of the powers of over five hundred terrifying beings, they could, at most, only slightly suppress him, but not pose any real threat.
"Is this all you've got?"
Lin Yuan looked at each terrifying being.
"Is this all you've got?" The terrifying being of infinite light felt a headache. They had given their all, yet they still couldn't defeat Lin Yuan.
"Give it your all!"
The terrifying being of infinite light transmitted a sound.
As a terrifying being nearing the end of the path to Ascension, they naturally possessed various means to fight to the death. Under the pressure of their all-out assault, Lin Yuan's battle prowess exceeded his usual limits.
Boom!
As each terrifying being fought with all their might, the pressure on Lin Yuan began to rapidly increase.
His physical body was collapsing, and although it was regenerating, the speed of regeneration couldn't keep up with the collapse.
"Can't hold it anymore?"
Lin Yuan sighed in his heart.
He closed his eyes.
At the same time, on the Endless Jade Steps,
Lin Yuan, who was climbing the steps, came to a halt.
His entire focus was on resisting the combined might of over five hundred terrifying beings, leaving no spare energy to climb the Endless Jade Steps.
The Endless Jade Steps were not easy to climb, as each step required facing formidable compression distortion forces and layers of illusions, and one had to comprehend the subsequent directions of the Primordial Chaos Supreme Ease Daos.
At this moment, Lin Yuan clearly didn't have the spare energy to do so, and could only choose to stop.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yuan turned to look down. From the middle of the Endless Jade Steps, a figure was dissolving, and it was rapidly spreading towards him.
"Do you really want to abandon everything in the outside world, your clan, your hometown, and your friends, just for the chance of Ascension?" Lin Yuan remained silent.
His best choice at this moment was to actively erase his external true selves and body doubles, and climb the Endless Jade Steps with single-minded focus.
"In the future, millions of years from now, will I also make this choice?"
Lin Yuan's mind flashed back to the Multiverse, where he was forced by the Blood Sea Lord to summon his future self.
At that time, his future self revealed a scene on the Endless Jade Steps—an endless staircase, with only his future self's figure, solitary and lonely, as if he were the only one in the vast world.
But now, with the Supreme Rule Dao Will connecting the past and future, Lin Yuan couldn't summon his future self again.
Lin Yuan took a deep breath, extended his right hand. The four Primordial Chaos Supreme Ease Daos—Primordial Chaos Taiyi Dao, Primordial Chaos Tai Chu Dao, Primordial Chaos Tai Shi Dao, and Primordial Chaos Taiji Dao—intertwined and clashed between his fingers.
In Lin Yuan's vision, the powers of the four Primordial Chaos Supreme Ease Daos began to expand, and a fifth Primordial Chaos Supreme Ease Dao started to take shape.
As soon as the fifth Primordial Chaos Supreme Ease Dao was born, it swiftly merged with the other four, until—
Boom!!!
