The Mysterious Realm, one of the four strongest among the Eight Realms of the Myriad Worlds, had never lacked God Kings throughout the ages.
There were even rumors of several Quasi-Monarch Ancient Ancestors who gazed upon the Sovereign realm.
For endless eons, it had consistently ranked among the forefront of the Eight Realms of the Myriad Worlds!
Like the Desolate Realm, it was filled with endless spatial turbulence and countless plane worlds as numerous as the sands of the Ganges.
Excluding the Heavenly Kingdom, the overall strength of the Mysterious Realm was immeasurably superior to the Desolate Realm.
On this day, the Mysterious Realm was shaken by a great upheaval.
At a location of endless spatial turbulence, an extremely terrifying power suddenly pierced through the Mysterious Realm, striking down.
The might of this power directly shook the boundless Mysterious Realm.
Even the most powerful figures within the Mysterious Realm were alarmed—all of them stood at the Quasi-Monarch realm.
But the power that pierced the Mysterious Realm was far, far beyond them, making them feel as insignificant as ants gazing upon gods.
The power that pierced the Mysterious Realm transformed into a spatial passageway, from which surged forth a multitude of powerful figures.
This caused the several Quasi-Monarchs of the Mysterious Realm to pale. The newcomers numbered in the hundreds; at the very least, they were all Great Powers, with many God Kings, numerous Quasi-Monarchs, and even several who surpassed the Quasi-Monarch level—they were unmistakably Ancient Sovereigns.
Especially the one leading them. His aura was so powerful, nearly matching the force that had pierced the realm, making them feel that a single thought from him could annihilate them.
Who were they?
Soon, sensing the fluctuations emanating from them, their faces turned deathly pale—
The alien race!
They had actually descended upon the Eight Realms of the Myriad Worlds.
Had the myriad realms of the upper heavens been completely occupied and invaded by the alien race?
From the passageway, the alien powerhouses emerged, sweeping their gazes across the Mysterious Realm. One of them spoke indifferently, "Is this the Eight Realms of the Myriad Worlds of the Pangu Universe? Hmm, this place seems to be the Mysterious Realm, ranked third. But it's truly weak. The strongest are merely a few Quasi-Monarchs. Oh? There's also a Sovereign-level powerhouse in slumber. That's unexpected."
This person was an alien Sovereign. With a sweep of his divine sense, he directly comprehended everything within the entire Mysterious Realm, leaving nothing hidden.
He hadn't expected a realm ranked third to still possess an existence at the Ancient Sovereign level.
After all, the Eight Realms of the Myriad Worlds were considered lower realms compared to the myriad realms.
"Lord Dao Shishi doesn't seem to be in this Mysterious Realm. I'll capture an important figure to understand the situation."
Another alien Sovereign directly employed a supreme technique, effortlessly capturing a Quasi-Monarch from the Mysterious Realm, who had no power to resist.
Without another word, he performed the most brutal soul search.
The Quasi-Monarch couldn't withstand it; his soul shattered, but all the information surfaced.
The alien Sovereign frowned. "According to this, Lord Dao Shishi of our Ancient Universe is in the Desolate Realm of the Eight Realms of the Myriad Worlds. However, the Eight Realms are currently isolated, blocked by the Rule Heavenly Pass. To pierce the Rule Heavenly Pass would require, at the very least, strength at the Super Sovereign level."
He looked toward the leader. Naturally, their group also included such existences, even surpassing Sovereigns.
"But from what I know, the Pangu Universe side also has people who descended from the myriad realms to the Eight Realms. I'm worried that acting now might provoke the powerhouses of the Pangu Universe side. Moreover, I've learned that in the near future, the Eight Realms will become interconnected. Acting then, without needing to pierce the Rule Heavenly Pass, might be better for rescuing Lord Dao Shishi."
"Good!"
The leader nodded. Though he was powerful, the Pangu Universe side was not weak either, also possessing invincible beings of the same level.
To rescue Dao Shishi, they had to be extremely cautious. Otherwise, the slightest misstep could lead to a catastrophic mistake—failing to rescue Dao Shishi and even potentially plunging their own side into crisis, a loss outweighing the gain.
"The Eight Realms will soon become interconnected. What a pity, we cannot devour so much blood food now. But so be it. Rescuing Lord Dao Shishi is the top priority; everything else can be dealt with later."
"First, we'll rule this entire Mysterious Realm. After rescuing Lord Dao Shishi, the living beings of these plane worlds can become his blood food, replenishing the power lost over endless eons."
The alien powerhouses intimidated the entire Mysterious Realm, viewing it as a land of blood food.
On this day, the Mysterious Realm, one of the Eight Realms of the Myriad Worlds, fell into panic under the alien race. The most terrifying alien powerhouses swept through, directly obliterating the strongest forces of the Mysterious Realm, capturing several Quasi-Monarchs, and even rousing the most deeply hidden Ancient Sovereign, who was beaten to dust alive.
...
Time could soothe all things.
The years flowed by, passing in the blink of an eye.
Soon, thirty years had passed since the Ruler War.
Although the Ruler War of the past remained vivid, recorded in the annals of the Primordial Heaven Realm's history.
For the billions of living beings, they were far from reaching that level; their greater purpose was simply to survive.
Thirty years—not too long, not too short.
An entire generation had changed in the world!
During this period, the Ten Thousand Daos of the Primordial Heaven Realm continued to boil. Originally, only six Great Dao Heavenly Suns remained, but over the past thirty years, nine Great Dao Heavenly Suns had actually reformed.
The myriad Daos shattered by the Ruler War gradually recovered.
More importantly, over the past thirty years, within the Eight Realms of the Myriad Worlds, the Rule Heavenly Passes gradually became interconnected, allowing basic passage between the eight realms.
Originally, for the eight realms to truly become interconnected, based on past eras, it would have required at least thousands upon thousands of years of transition.
After all, the Rule Heavenly Passes were condensed from the supreme rules of the Myriad Worlds and were not so easily dissipated.
But the Ruler War had caused too great an impact, leading to the destabilization and premature weakening of the Eight Realms' Rule Heavenly Passes, triggering a great change.
However, what felt eerie was that the area belonging to the Desolate Realm remained a forbidden land for the other seven realms.
Even the Rule Heavenly Pass continued to exist there, maintained by the combined efforts of the powerhouses from the other seven realms.
After learning of the Ruler War, they feared that the Desolate Realm might harbor a second peerless figure like the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler.
One Heavenly Kingdom Ruler had caused such a situation in the Primordial Heaven Realm, even causing the fall of several Life Forbidden Zone Rulers. If a few more appeared, the entire Primordial Heaven Realm might be torn apart.
Therefore, it had been sealed off all along.
However, because the Eight Realms of the Myriad Worlds were gradually becoming interconnected, their respective Ten Thousand Daos fused with each other, promoting the further prosperity of the Primordial Heaven Realm.
Over thirty years, the Heaven and Earth Ten Thousand Daos of the Eight Realms grew stronger and more concentrated.
Especially the Primordial Heaven Realm, which appeared even more vibrant with life.
The heaven-shattering, earth-rending devastation caused by the Ruler War had, through thirty years of natural evolution, been largely repaired. Only the shattered Star Ruins required a long, slow recovery.
Yet the world's self-repair drove the Ten Thousand Daos to become even stronger, and the rules of the Myriad Worlds more complete.
Even at the lofty heights of the supreme sky, there were signs of a tenth Great Dao Heavenly Sun taking form.
Theincomplete / fragmentary's Heavenly Dao, it seemed, was about to be completely restored.
