I Truly Am The Villian - Chapter 2228

The True Martial Great Emperor did not rest. Taking advantage of the day when the Heaven Challenge tool was taking shape, he also wanted to summon the Yuan Central Continent.

In fact, regarding the Yuan Central Continent, fewer than five people knew about it.

The True Martial Great Emperor was extremely secretive.

Even Xu Zimei only suddenly realized it, piecing it together from subtle clues.

After all, with so many precedents, as long as the True Martial Great Emperor wasn’t foolish, he surely needed to be prepared.

And the Yuan Central Continent was the only preparation.

……

Before summoning the Yuan Central Continent, the True Martial Great Emperor made a lot of preparations.

He even considered the worst possible outcomes.

He waved his large hand, and several streams of light surged into the surrounding space.

Each of these streams of light, upon touching the ground, transformed into a portal.

“Time-Space Glass Gate”

This was a traversal gate specifically prepared by the True Martial Great Emperor.

If the Heavenly Dao truly intervened, he could also use this portal to teleport the True Martial Holy Sect away.

This was one of his backup plans.

In addition, the True Martial Great Emperor transformed himself into a formation, condensing the heavens.

This was not a simple formation.

The True Martial Great Emperor was not skilled in formations, or rather, he wasn’t interested in formations.

He emitted fluctuations from himself, and an invisible aura unfolded from all directions.

Under this aura, wherever it passed became a domain.

A domain that was indescribable and indefinable.

This domain made the True Martial Great Emperor the dominator of this world.

He called it the True Martial Domain.

Within this domain, even the Heavenly Dao cannot contend with the True Martial Great Emperor for control.

It was that overbearing.

After making his preparations, the True Martial Great Emperor sat cross-legged, sitting there in the midst of heaven and earth.

At this moment, everyone within the True Martial Holy Sect could clearly see the Great Emperor’s expression.

Someone asked in surprise, “What is the Ancestor doing?”

“I don’t know. Is he comprehending the heavens?”

“I don’t understand, the appearance of the Eye of the Heavenly Dao just now almost scared me to death.”

“What’s there to fear? The Ancestor is the one who challenges the heavens; what is the Heavenly Dao?”

“If you’re not afraid, then why were your legs trembling just now?”

“A bodily reaction isn’t shameful; my heart is not afraid anyway.”

The True Martial Great Emperor’s intent to challenge the heavens might have been a well-kept secret in the past.

But later, as the Great Emperor grew stronger and more accomplished, he no longer hid it.

Especially the disciples within the entire True Martial Holy Sect almost all knew about it.

The True Martial Great Emperor candidly informed everyone as well.

If he failed in his Heaven Challenge, the reckoning from the Heavenly Dao might also include the True Martial Holy Sect.

If any disciples were afraid, they could leave the sect; it was no problem.

Nowadays, the matter of challenging the heavens has become quite common within the True Martial Holy Sect.

However, the matter regarding the Yuan Central Continent was unknown to everyone.

Seeing the True Martial Great Emperor sitting cross-legged, everyone speculated.

After all, it was as hard as reaching the skies to see the Ancestor usually.

Xu Zimei also kept his eyes on the True Martial Great Emperor.

The other was transforming himself into a formation, condensing the world, and creating a domain.

In such a domain, the True Martial Great Emperor was invincible.

Xu Zimei could also sense that powerful oppression.

However, he was not afraid; instead, he was filled with anticipation, even eager to try.

He wanted to experience some of this domain.

The True Martial Great Emperor was attempting to connect with the Yuan Central Continent.

A long time ago, one might say silently and without anyone noticing, the Emperor had already invaded the Yuan Central Continent.

Even the Heavenly Dao of the Yuan Central Continent had been secretly swapped and was under his control.

This was the True Martial Great Emperor’s confidence.

When connecting to the Yuan Central Continent, Xu Zimei did not idle.

After all, this process might take some time, and waiting endlessly would be meaningless.

He arrived on the Divine Continent.

If the Yuan Central Continent was the Great Emperor’s trump card, then the Divine Continent was Xu Zimei’s ace.

And compared to the Yuan Central Continent, the Divine Continent was evidently more important.

Because it was created by Xu Zimei himself.

After arriving on the Divine Continent, Xu Zimei began preparing for his previous plans.

Just as he had envisioned before, first, establishing rules of causality to avoid the current predicament of the Nine Domains World, where the strong can wantonly slaughter mortals.

Second, returning the Dao to the heavens.

This was a name given by Xu Zimei himself.

For a world to develop, it must be cyclical and healthy.

For instance, if a human from birth wants to survive, they must eat.

If only eating and not planting food, the food in the world will eventually be consumed completely one day.

Such development is unhealthy.

If someone plants food to sustain themselves, then it would be sustainable development for the world.

This is a small-scale analogy.

On a larger scale.

If a person practices martial arts, only absorbing the Spiritual Energy of the heavens, each great battle causes damage to the world through the seizure of natural treasures.

Then the Spiritual Energy in the world will eventually be depleted.

Even as mighty as the Nine Domains World, it is currently stuck in this predicament.

Nowadays, the amount of Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth cannot compare to the era of the Ancient Gods Seeking the Dao.

It might only take a few more generations for the Spiritual Energy of the world to be at risk.

So Xu Zimei came up with a plan.

Return the Dao to the heavens.

A person’s lifetime absorbs the Spiritual Energy of the heavens, growing to a certain realm.

After their death, all the essence and Spiritual Energy will ultimately merge with the earth, nourishing the world.

Instead of dissipating entirely with their decaying bodies.

The challenge of the first rule of causality lies in Xu Zimei having to include everyone, whether newly born or currently living, into this causality.

This was the first challenge.

And the second challenge was naturally how to return the Dao to the heavens after someone’s death.

Since the creation of the Divine Continent, Xu Zimei seldom intervened in the world’s development.

Because healthy development cannot be interfered with casually.

Biological diversity and infinite possibilities must develop independently.

Wild and domesticated can never be the same.

Also, the Divine Continent is so vast that if he tried to intervene, he would likely tire himself to death.

So Xu Zimei rarely interfered.

But this time, Xu Zimei decided to personally intervene in the rules.

He was going to change the world’s rules.

The Heavenly Dao must also be pushed into the world.

He couldn’t act directly; the Heavenly Dao had to be the target.

Also, the Heavenly Dao of the Divine Continent now had developed intelligence.

Though this intelligence couldn’t compare to that of the Nine Domains World, it was more than sufficient compared to the Yuan Central Continent.

……

In the following period.

Xu Zimei began to communicate with the rules of the world.

Rules are a very peculiar thing.

Indescribable, indefinable, yet everyone must comply.

From a nation to the entire world, there’s an array of rules that bind everything.

If you are strong, you can break the rules, but above the rules, there are still rules.

Every time you break the rules, it’s as hard as reaching the skies.
