At the Five Great Mountains battlefield, the disappearance of the Bai Li Melting Furnace caused an uproar. After all, that furnace had stood under the sky for twenty years, becoming a pillar of faith for all humanity. It was proof of the first time in history that mankind had defeated divine weapons and overthrown those who had ruled over them for tens of thousands of years.
In the Great Flame Empire's capital, after Si Kong Lun led the Reverse God Society to defeat thirty-five countries, he quickly submitted to the Great Flame Dynasty and assumed the role of prime minister. Si Kong Lun was well aware that Lin Yuan was the emperor of the Great Flame Dynasty, and after defeating the other thirty-five countries, he began to assist the dynasty without hesitation.
For the past twenty years, the Great Flame Dynasty had unified the Central Plains, thanks not only to Lin Yuan's deterrence but also to Si Kong Lun's skill and maneuvering.
On this day, Si Kong Lun looked up from the intelligence report in his hands and abruptly stood up. "The furnace has disappeared?" he asked, glancing at the report once more. "And His Majesty is missing as well?" A hint of worry crept onto his face. "Xu Chong," he called out.
Xu Chong immediately entered the room, asking, "What is it?"
"I want you to go to the Five Great Mountains battlefield and search for…" Before Si Kong Lun could finish his sentence, a gentle voice interrupted him.
"Are you looking for me?" Lin Yuan appeared in the room with a smile.
"Your Majesty," Si Kong Lun said, his eyes immediately moistening at the familiar voice.
Xu Chong, upon seeing Lin Yuan, shrunk back a little, hesitant to speak. Twenty years ago at the Five Great Mountains battlefield, his exclamation of 'Emperor of Flame' had echoed across the entire battlefield, and countless people had heard it. Soon after, Lin Yuan had appeared and replied with a somewhat displeased 'What's the rush?' Because of this, Xu Chong had endured a torturous twenty years.
Xu Chong felt wronged. It was clearly Lin Yuan who had said back then that in times of insurmountable difficulty, this name could be called. And at that time, the situation was indeed dire, with the thirty-five divine weapons beginning to devour.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the melting furnace has disappeared?" Si Kong Lun cautiously asked after a moment.
"How is Zheng now?" Lin Yuan asked, not directly answering the question.
Zheng, or Liu Zheng, was the son of Lin Yuan and a female Martial Saint with blood refinement abilities, conceived over thirty years ago after the Empress Wang Shangfeng persistently persuaded Lin Yuan. The reason for choosing a woman with such abilities was naturally due to the extraordinary strength of Lin Yuan's physical body at that time. An ordinary woman would not only be unable to bear a child for Lin Yuan but also wouldn't be able to withstand his essence. Even a female Martial Saint would not have been able to withstand it if Lin Yuan hadn't greatly weakened his own essence.
Finally, this female Martial Saint gave birth to a son for Lin Yuan, who was then raised as the crown prince of the Great Flame Dynasty.
"Zheng is intelligent and gifted," Si Kong Lun replied, originally intending to say that he was no less talented than Lin Yuan, but he stopped himself, feeling that it would sound like an exaggeration.
What a joke! Who was Lin Yuan? Over the years, he had become known as the first sage emperor in ten thousand years in the Central Plains. No matter how intelligent Liu Zheng was, he couldn't compare to Lin Yuan.
Under the heavens, for tens of thousands of years, there would likely never be another like Lin Yuan, with no one to rival him.
"That's good," Lin Yuan nodded slightly. He didn't have high expectations of Liu Zheng; as long as he could safeguard the foundation of the Great Flame Dynasty, that would be enough.
"Your Majesty, what about those divine weapons?" Si Kong Lun cautiously asked again.
He couldn't help but ask; the matter was too important.
"I've shattered all the divine weapons," Lin Yuan said casually.
"Shattered?" Si Kong Lun was slightly taken aback. "Can't you completely destroy them?" he blurted out.
Even if the divine weapons were shattered, they could still become evil weapons, capable of continuing to develop consciousness.
"Divine weapons are born of the heavens and earth; they cannot be destroyed," Lin Yuan said directly. Even the ancient gods of ten thousand years ago couldn't do it, nor could he.
"Are you worried that after I leave, in a hundred or a thousand years, the fragments of the divine weapons will regain consciousness and once again rule over the world?" Lin Yuan saw through Si Kong Lun's concern.
Even though they were far inferior to complete divine weapons, the power of evil weapons still far surpassed that of blood refinement Martial Saints.
By then, without Lin Yuan, the emergence of these evil weapons would spell chaos, and no one in the world would be able to stop them.
"Your Majesty is right," Si Kong Lun said with a bitter smile.
"It doesn't matter," Lin Yuan said, raising his right hand and pointing slightly at the foreheads of Si Kong Lun and Xu Chong.
Instantly, a large amount of information flowed into their minds. It was the cultivation system that Lin Yuan had perfected over the past few decades, based on the existing cultivation system of this world. He had eliminated the flaw of only refining the physical body and instead focused on both the physical and the spiritual aspects.
Under Lin Yuan's influence, the cultivation system was further enhanced, with Martial God above Martial Saint, and Heavenly Man above Martial God.
Normally, cultivating to the Martial God realm would allow one to rival or even surpass the power of divine weapon fragments.
By passing down this cultivation system, Lin Yuan was giving hope to future generations of mankind.
With this improved cultivation system, even if surpassing the Martial Saint realm remained difficult, every few decades, a few geniuses would still emerge and cultivate to the Martial God realm.
"This is…" Si Kong Lun's face showed his growing astonishment as he quickly absorbed the information in his mind. He immediately realized the terrifying potential of the cultivation system that Lin Yuan had imparted to him.
Although it was similar to the original cultivation system of 'Refine Flesh' Martial Student, 'Refine Sinew' Martial Pupil, 'Refine Skin' Martial Warrior, 'Refine Bone' Martial Master, 'Refine Viscera' Innate Martial Master, 'Refine Marrow' Great Master, and 'Refine Blood' Martial Saint, Lin Yuan had added a method to refine the 'spirit and soul' at each stage, allowing for the simultaneous transformation of the physical body and spirit.
As a result, the Martial Saint realm was no longer the end, and there were now the Martial God and Heavenly Man realms to strive for.
According to the realm descriptions, the Martial God realm would be sufficient to counter those evil weapons.
This was a cultivation system from ancient times! Xu Chong swallowed, as he was a user of an evil weapon, or more accurately, a divine weapon. The Splitting Heaven Axe had already become a complete divine weapon. However, there were very few people like him in the world, and without his divine weapon, he was nothing.
There was no comparison between the cultivation system that Lin Yuan had imparted to them, which concentrated power within oneself, and with cultivation to the very end, one would not be inferior to the evil weapons, and there was also the effect of prolonging one's lifespan.
"Your Majesty, I thank you on behalf of all sentient beings in the world," Si Kong Lun said, his voice filled with sincerity as he knelt on the ground.
If Lin Yuan's suppression of all the divine weapons at the Five Great Mountains battlefield was a great achievement of this era, then imparting this cultivation system was a great achievement of all eras.
From this day forward, all cultivators would forever remember Lin Yuan's grace, never to be forgotten in their lifetimes.
"Alright," Lin Yuan waved his hand nonchalantly. "Get up."
To him, this cultivation system was not a big deal. He passed it on simply because he didn't want to see humanity becoming food for the divine weapons again in the future.
After all, Lin Yuan was currently considered a member of the human race, and the Great Flame Dynasty was also a human empire.
Whether it was for personal or logical reasons, Lin Yuan would have done the same.
"There's one more thing this time," Lin Yuan said, as if he had just remembered something, turning to Xu Chong.
"Ah?" Xu Chong blinked, unsure what was happening.
"Come out," Lin Yuan said, and a black axe flew out from Xu Chong's body. It was the Splitting Heaven Axe.
"Before I came here, I had already shattered all the evil and divine weapons, erasing their consciousness as well. You can't be the exception," Lin Yuan said as he gripped the axe.
The once indestructible divine weapon now seemed as fragile as cotton candy in Lin Yuan's hand. With just a gentle press, it shattered into dozens of fragments, and all traces of consciousness within were wiped out.
Although the Splitting Heaven Axe had been refined by Lin Yuan and was absolutely loyal to him, Lin Yuan wasn't sure if it would change after he left this world.
To be safe, he couldn't leave any intact divine weapons behind.
"Alright," Lin Yuan glanced at Xu Chong, who looked a little lost. "With your talent, if you cultivate the cultivation system I've imparted, you have a good chance of reaching the Martial God realm."
Lin Yuan added, explaining that he had modified the cultivation system to include the refinement of one's spirit and soul.
And Xu Chong had naturally been strong in that area, which was why he had become the axe's wielder in the first place.
"It's time to leave," Lin Yuan said, giving one last look to Si Kong Lun and Xu Chong before disappearing without a sound.
"Your Majesty," Si Kong Lun whispered, feeling a sense of loss as if he had forever lost something dear to him.
"No, we must immediately record that cultivation system," Si Kong Lun said, shaking himself out of his daze and ordering someone to bring paper and brush.
Then, he quickly recorded the information that was imprinted in his mind.
"Chancellor Si Kong, you're old. Let me do the writing," Xu Chong said, scratching his head. After Lin Yuan's reassurance, he felt much better.
"No," Si Kong Lun insisted. "This cultivation system is too important. I'll only be at ease if I write it down myself."
His eyes gleamed with fervor as he swiftly wielded the brush, recording the profound cultivation system.
Two hours later, as Si Kong Lun looked at the complete cultivation system before him, his eyes shone with excitement.
With this cultivation system, humanity would finally break free from their millennia-long plight of being devoured by divine weapons.
Even if a complete divine weapon appeared in the future, humanity would have a chance to fight back and would no longer have to beg for mercy.
All the humiliation and resentment were incinerated by this cultivation system, and from now on, the humans on this land would stand tall.
"Your Majesty," Si Kong Lun whispered, his eyes reddening as he thought of Lin Yuan. "A single light illuminates a millennium of darkness."
Beyond the thirty-six nations of the Central Plains, in the extreme north, was a land of perpetual ice. Even a Blood Refinement Martial Saint would find it difficult to endure for long in the extreme cold.
The temperature was so low that this area had become a no-man's land, untouched by life for thousands, if not tens of thousands of years.
But on this day, a figure slowly walked into this frozen land.
The extreme cold had no effect on this figure, and the area around him was warm and pleasant, as if spring had come to this icy world.
"This is the place," Lin Yuan said, stopping and looking around. This was the last known location of the ancient god, according to the memories of the divine weapons.
It was from here that the ancient god had returned to his mother world.
"A spatial rift?" Lin Yuan continued forward, sensing a tear in space ahead.
Soon, he reached the source of the spatial distortion, an irregularly shaped rift that looked like a torn painting. Within, there seemed to be wisps of gray mist floating.
"Did the ancient god leave from here?" Lin Yuan wondered silently.
Even just standing here, Lin Yuan felt a sense of extreme danger. He could foresee that once he stepped through, there would be no hope of survival.
After a while, Lin Yuan turned back. Although he didn't know how the ancient god had managed to enter, he knew he couldn't.
If he had even the slightest chance of survival, Lin Yuan wouldn't have minded gambling the next twenty years of his life. But with no hope at all, he knew what he had to do.
In the next twenty years, with his Heaven-defying Comprehension talent, he could still gain significant improvements even if he just wandered in this world. There was no reason to waste it on certain death.
Time passed slowly. In the blink of an eye, twenty years had gone by.
In these two decades, Lin Yuan had traveled across the Central Plains, witnessing the rise of the Great Flame Empire and the widespread dissemination of the cultivation system he had passed down.
[Name: Liu Yuan (Lin Yuan)]
[Identity: Holder of the Gate of Myriad Worlds]
[Bound Talent: Heaven-defying Comprehension]
[Current State: Consciousness Descended]
[Remaining Time: One Hour]
As the deadline of his consciousness's stay in this world approached, Lin Yuan once again returned to the extreme north, standing before the spatial rift.
"Since I'm about to leave anyway, let's take a look inside," Lin Yuan thought, and the Taiji Field shrank, clinging to his body.
This level of Taiji Stance was Lin Yuan's strongest defensive posture.
"Let's go," Lin Yuan stepped into the spatial rift.
The next chapter will begin the main world storyline.
In short: "Top ten in the world? That's too weak."
