My Longevity Simulation

Chapter 1365: The Heavenly Demon Finally Awakens

Under normal circumstances, forcibly implanting fragments from another world into the Heavenly Law Realm, even fragments from a world that had already perished, would inevitably provoke resistance and rejection from the Heavenly Dao of the Heavenly Law Realm.

This was the so called rejection response.

However, this time, the world fragment implanted by the Heavenly Doctor first merged with the remains of the five Dao Integration cultivators. The power of Spirits Heaven and Earth within those Dao Integration cultivators had originally come from the Heavenly Law Realm.

As a result, the degree of rejection during the fusion process was extremely low.

The Heavenly Law Realm smoothly completed the absorption of the fragment.

Sensing a faint trace of vitality slowly flowing from the fragment of the ruined world into the Heavenly Law Realm, the Heavenly Doctor finally let out a long sigh of relief.

"My long journey was not in vain."

He quietly observed for some time. Perhaps because the Heavenly Law Realm had remained in a state of starvation for so long without feeding, this fragment proved exceptionally effective.

It not only replenished its energy, but also revived the vitality that the Heavenly Dao had previously suppressed because of the cultivators' endless greed.

"In the future, there will be no need to go through so much trouble whenever it feeds again. I can simply connect the next fragment to the remnants of this first one."

"However, before this world completely digests it, I must return to the edge of the Star Sea and bring back another world fragment to continue the process."

Thinking of this, the Heavenly Doctor frowned slightly.

Although with his strength he could travel rapidly through the Star Sea and ignore nearly all dangers along the way.

The Star Sea was simply too vast. A round trip required nearly an entire year.

Moreover, according to his estimates, the Heavenly Law Realm would need about two years to fully digest this world fragment.

"By this calculation, I will have no spare time for anything else. I simply cannot free up my hands."

The Heavenly Doctor sighed softly, feeling for the first time that he alone could no longer shoulder everything.

Although he had cultivated several promising successors over the years, they were still far from being capable of bearing such great responsibilities.

This made him miss the old friends who had once fought alongside him.

One familiar figure after another flashed through the Heavenly Doctor's mind before suddenly stopping on one particular figure.

"The Heavenly Demon..."

The Heavenly Doctor's expression became rather complicated.

Back then, before the war between the two worlds had even begun, the Heavenly Demon had already wandered beyond the heavens. Even during the fiercest and most brutal stages of the war, the Heavenly Demon never returned.

However, the Heavenly Doctor could faintly sense that the Heavenly Demon had not perished.

Instead, it still existed somewhere within the Star Sea.

Originally, the Heavenly Doctor had no intention of contacting this most unique existence among all the Venerables of the Heavenly Law Realm.

The various Venerables were born from the living beings of the Heavenly Law Realm, comprehending and resonating with the Eternal Dao.

The Heavenly Demon alone was the exception.

It was like the single discordant note within a magnificent symphony. The Heavenly Demon was the autonomous manifestation of the Eternal Dao governing Heart Demons within the Heavenly Law Realm.

It was the Heart Demon Heavenly Dao itself.

Although it had communicated with the other Venerables before, those interactions were few.

The Heavenly Demon was born from the Heavenly Law Realm, but from the very moment of its birth, it had already separated itself from the Heavenly Law Realm. It severed all ties with the mother world that had given birth to it.

It cared little for the affairs of the Heavenly Law Realm.

Its only pursuit was to advance further and seek the elusive Supreme Realm.

Remaining within the Heavenly Law Realm meant it could never transcend mortality. Therefore, the Heavenly Demon departed without hesitation.

Even when the Heavenly Law Realm stood on the brink of destruction, the Heavenly Demon never returned to help. It could be said that it no longer possessed even the slightest bond with the Heavenly Law Realm.

"I wonder whether the Heavenly Demon has now touched the threshold of the Supreme Realm."

The Heavenly Doctor's gaze became distant. After pondering for a long time, he finally decided to search the Star Sea for the Heavenly Demon's whereabouts.

Looking toward the heavens, his body transformed into a gentle breeze and merged into the heaven and earth of the Heavenly Law Realm.

The Eternal Dao rumbled while the laws operated day and night like an incomparably precise machine.

Although the Heavenly Demon had already severed its connection with the Eternal Dao, it had ultimately been born from this world.

As the Great Venerable of All Laws, the Heavenly Doctor temporarily assumed the role of the Heavenly Dao itself and extended his perception across the distant Star Sea.

After nearly half a day, he finally discovered the Heavenly Demon's approximate location.

It was actually at the edge of the Star Sea, beside the endless Great Wall of Ruined Worlds.

The Heavenly Doctor's heart shook as he pondered why the Heavenly Demon would be there.

Without departing immediately, he first summoned all six Longevity Immortal Heavenly Venerables of the Heavenly Law Realm before setting off.

To discuss the future of the Heavenly Law Realm.

Although only their projections arrived rather than their true bodies, it did not hinder communication.

"We shall certainly follow the Great Venerable's leadership. After all, the Heavenly Law Realm is the homeland we all share. If it truly falls into the Immortal Ruins, then no matter how vast the Star Sea may be, there will no longer be any place for us." The first to speak was a middle aged Confucian scholar.

This man had attained the Dao during the final era of the cultivation wasteland. Seeing how cultivators had become suspicious of everyone after endless years of mutual slaughter, no longer daring to trust anyone, he reversed the principles of heaven and earth so that lies could no longer exist in the world. The people respectfully called him the True Speech Heavenly Venerable.

"Hehehe..."

Before the True Speech Heavenly Venerable had even finished speaking, a strange laugh rang out.

"What does the survival of the Heavenly Law Realm have to do with me? I would much rather it fall into the Immortal Ruins as soon as possible!"

The Heavenly Doctor looked toward the figure concealed beneath a black hood. Unconcealed killing intent flashed across his eyes.

If there was anyone among the Venerables whom the Heavenly Doctor wished to eliminate above all others.

It was undoubtedly the person before him, the Reverse Fusion Heavenly Venerable.

This man had originally been a cultivator who had reached the pinnacle of medical arts. He comprehended the process by which the Heavenly Law Realm devoured the Xuanhuang Realm and reversed its underlying principles.

As a result, whenever the Great Dao of the Heavenly Law Realm attempted to devour another world, it would naturally generate a force of resistance.

Through this reversal, the Reverse Fusion Heavenly Venerable attained the Longevity Dao Fruit.

Had it not been for his interference, the Heavenly Law Realm would have completely devoured and digested the Xuanhuang Realm long ago.

Nor would implanting fragments from other worlds now require such a lengthy process.

The Reverse Fusion Heavenly Venerable showed no fear toward the Heavenly Doctor and continued mockingly.

"If the Heavenly Law Realm falls into the Immortal Ruins, it will surely be torn into countless pieces. That will be the very moment when I complete my Great Dao. Of course I eagerly await it!"

The other Heavenly Venerables all turned their eyes toward him.

Only the One Heart Heavenly Venerable, Zhao Ruoxi, spoke with both resentment and affection.

"So Brother Li dislikes this little sister after all. You cannot wait to escape from my side."

As she spoke, sparkling tears seemed to fall from her face.

The Reverse Fusion Heavenly Venerable immediately fell silent. Almost instinctively, he moved a little farther away from the One Heart Heavenly Sovereign, his eyes filled with caution.

The Heavenly Doctor let out a cold snort before solemnly declaring.

"I will not force any of you to contribute."

"But if anyone dares interfere from the shadows."

"Even if it means damaging the Eternal Dao of the Heavenly Law Realm, I will uproot them completely."

"Do not say I failed to warn you."

The words of the Great Venerable of All Laws carried tremendous authority.

After this warning, even the previously arrogant Reverse Fusion Heavenly Venerable no longer dared object openly and could only nod in agreement.

While reversing the principles of heaven and earth, the Reverse Fusion Heavenly Venerable had himself become part of the Eternal Dao.

As long as heaven and earth endured, the Heavenly Venerable could not die.

Hence the title of Longevity.

But longevity did not mean eternal indestructibility.

As long as one forcibly extracted and destroyed the principle represented by the Reverse Fusion Heavenly Venerable from the Heavenly Law Realm itself.

Even a Longevity Immortal Heavenly Venerable could be slain.

However, carrying out this method required two conditions.

First, only a great cultivator whose understanding and mastery of the principles of heaven and earth had reached the absolute pinnacle, such as the Heavenly Doctor, the Great Venerable of All Laws, could accomplish it.

Second.

Even if it succeeded, extracting those principles of heaven and earth would inevitably affect the other natural laws of the world.

The Heavenly Law Realm was destined to suffer severe damage as a result.

The already greatly weakened Heavenly Law Realm simply could not withstand such another ordeal.

This was also the reason why the Heavenly Doctor had delayed taking action all this time.

'However, after I complete several more rounds of nourishment and restore some of the Heavenly Law Realm's vitality, I should be able to remove these parasites.' The Heavenly Doctor looked at Reverse Fusion Heavenly Venerable and temporarily suppressed the killing intent in his heart.

"A few days ago, I left the Heavenly Law Realm and ventured into the Immortal Ruins to investigate. There, I vaguely caught sight of a figure sitting cross-legged..."

Just as the atmosphere fell into silence and stalemate, a voice suddenly rang out, drawing everyone's attention.

The Heavenly Doctor turned his gaze toward the speaker.

It was Dao Attainment Heavenly Venerable, Su Bai.

Moved by the fact that all mortals suffered under the Immortal Mortal Miasma and could scarcely cultivate or attain the Dao, he had reversed this principle. He took the suffering of the Immortal Mortal Miasma upon himself in place of all living beings. As long as ordinary mortals sincerely recited the name of Dao Attainment Heavenly Venerable day and night, the Immortal Mortal Miasma would naturally dissipate.

Su Bai smiled faintly before continuing.

"I also caught sight of a seal script character within the Immortal Ruins."

Using his finger as a brush, Su Bai instantly wrote the True Immortal seal script character.

[Hunger]

"I only saw it vaguely, so this is as much as I could reconstruct." Su Bai shook his head with some regret.

Although Su Bai said so, the waves of power radiating from the character before everyone clearly demonstrated the terrifying might of the True Immortal seal script.

"I believe this character is the true culprit behind everything falling into the Immortal Ruins."

"Only a True Immortal can truly wield the power of a True Immortal."

"There is no shortage of residual True Immortal power remaining throughout the Star Sea. My suggestion is that we study these remnants and use them to reverse deduce their original True Immortal seal script. We shall use True Immortal seal script to oppose True Immortal seal script." Su Bai spoke with complete seriousness.

His proposal immediately caused all the Heavenly Venerables present to fall into deep thought.

Even the Heavenly Doctor frowned as he considered its feasibility.

Seeing this, Su Bai revealed an even greater revelation.

"To be honest with all of you, I have secretly researched this for many years and have already achieved some success. Your talents all surpass mine. If we work together..."

"Using True Immortal seal script to control the Immortal Ruins will only be a matter of time."

As he spoke, Su Bai wrote another seal script character.

Compared to the one he had witnessed within the Immortal Ruins, however, this character that he had comprehended himself was clearly much weaker.

The Heavenly Doctor looked at the other Great Venerables and saw the unmistakable excitement in their expressions. Concern inevitably arose within his heart.

He already understood the power of the True Immortal seal script.

These people were already difficult enough to deal with. If they also mastered the True Immortal seal script...

Then once a battle broke out, even the Heavenly Law Realm would be caught in the aftermath and reduced to ruins.

Thinking of this, the Heavenly Doctor became even more anxious.

During the discussions that followed, everyone eventually reached a consensus.

Their actions would be divided into three groups.

The first group would assist the Heavenly Doctor in nourishing the Heavenly Law Realm and strengthening its vitality.

The second group would study the True Immortal seal script and rely on external power to resist the Immortal Ruins.

The third group would simply remain uninvolved.

After dismissing everyone, even the Heavenly Doctor, the Great Venerable of the Heavenly Law Realm, could not help feeling mentally exhausted.

With six Longevity Immortal Heavenly Venerables guarding the realm, the Heavenly Law Realm would remain safe for the time being.

The Heavenly Doctor immediately gathered his spirits and hurried toward the location where he sensed the Heavenly Demon.

'If I can obtain the Heavenly Demon's assistance, I can quietly possess these Longevity Immortal Heavenly Venerables without anyone noticing.'

'That would minimize unnecessary casualties to the greatest extent possible.'

The more he thought about it, the stronger his desire became to find the Heavenly Demon.

He traveled through the Star Sea day after day.

At last, he once again arrived at the frontier of the Star Sea.

After searching throughout the range of his senses for a long time, the Heavenly Doctor finally found the Heavenly Demon.

The Heavenly Demon was indeed still alive.

But he had been frozen inside a strange crystal.

"[Resplendent Wind Crystal]?"

The Heavenly Doctor did not approach to retrieve the Heavenly Demon immediately. Instead, he observed from a distance.

He recognized the strange force responsible for sealing the Heavenly Demon in ice.

"Star Sea phenomena have become exceedingly rare."

"It seems that not long after the Heavenly Demon left the Heavenly Law Realm, he encountered disaster."

"Perhaps I wrongly blamed him. It was not that he refused to save us. He simply could not."

Seeing an old acquaintance frozen for ten thousand years in such a miserable state, the Heavenly Doctor could not help feeling pity.

"It is said that when the Resplendent Wind Crystal appears, it can freeze vast regions of the Star Sea. It is one of the most terrifying Star Sea phenomena."

"Even an existence as powerful as the Heavenly Demon had absolutely no ability to resist before such overwhelming power."

The Heavenly Doctor's expression grew solemn.

"After all this time, the freezing power does not seem to have weakened much."

"That bone-piercing cold is capable of freezing even nearby True Immortal power..."

But the Heavenly Doctor truly lived up to his title.

After contemplating on the spot for a long time, he eventually devised a solution.

He produced hundreds upon thousands of golden threads and wrapped them around the crystal.

Then he dragged it rapidly toward the invisible High Wall.

When it was almost upon the High Wall, he violently hurled it forward.

The rapidly flying crystal suddenly stopped in midair.

It was as though it had struck something with tremendous force, trembling violently.

The Heavenly Doctor's eyes immediately lit up. He keenly sensed that the freezing power had weakened slightly from the collision.

"Only the High Wall may be capable of shaking this lifeless freezing force."

The Heavenly Doctor sighed in admiration as more golden threads shot forth.

He pulled the crystal away from the High Wall for some distance.

Then he repeated the process.

Boom. Boom. Boom.

With every collision, the crystal became smaller and smaller.

When only a thin layer remained, the Heavenly Doctor also reduced the force of his strikes.

Although in theory, the Heavenly Demon was virtually immortal.

The High Wall was still an unfathomable existence.

He had to proceed with extreme caution.

Otherwise, if this old acquaintance survived the calamities of the Star Sea only to die by his own hands...

The Heavenly Doctor would surely feel deeply guilty.

Of course, more importantly, he would lose an indispensable ally.

The Heavenly Doctor's control over his strength had reached an astonishingly meticulous level.

In the end, using this rather unconventional method, he finally awakened the Heavenly Demon.

A transparent and indistinct figure stared fixedly at the Heavenly Doctor.

He remained completely silent.

"Heavenly Demon..." Knowing that the Heavenly Demon had retained some awareness of the outside world even while frozen, the Heavenly Doctor awkwardly spoke first.

The Heavenly Demon's figure suddenly disappeared.

A moment later, he had already appeared within the Heavenly Doctor's mind.
