Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses

Chapter 1001: Chapter 993: Collision of Worlds

Time flies like an arrow, millennia pass in the blink of an eye.

In just ten thousand short years, Central Heaven has undergone great changes.

For Wushi as well, there have been significant changes. More and more disciples are venturing out to pursue the Immortal Dao, leaving the Wushi Dojo increasingly deserted. Outside the dojo, however, the continent is becoming more lively, as more beings seek refuge from the mundane world.

Ascending to Immortality has become the main theme in Central Heaven, with various methods emerging.

Gu An lives between the Celestial Court and Central Heaven, consolidating his insights into the Primordial Taiyi True Saint Realm Perfect.

His understanding of Chaos deepens continuously, and his exploration beyond Chaos grows increasingly frequent, giving him a sense of unraveling mysteries that is utterly enchanting.

Seeing the truths unseen by all living beings, and unimagined by cultivators, brings Gu An a sense of accomplishment, even if he does not share it with others.

In this midsummer, cicadas serenely echo through the mountains and forests. Gu An sits under a large tree, a stone spinning in his right hand.

This stone appears quite ordinary, and several similar stones lie beside Gu An.

However, Gu An’s eyes are fixed intently on the stone in his hand. Upon closer inspection, the stone moves up and down following a unique rhythm, seemingly obeying a certain order.

In Gu An’s eyes, this stone is no longer just a stone; it embodies a Great Dao, a universe, a world.

It can be anything.

Gu An aspires to transform it into an existence comparable to the Heavenly Dao.

Regrettably, he has only achieved the level of power, enabling this stone to evolve into a universe whose overall power rivals the Heavenly Dao, yet it lacks true existence and the Heavenly Dao’s uniqueness and mystery.

He cannot create things whose future or cause and effect even he cannot fathom.

Everything he creates lies within his sight.

This is the anxiety of being too strong and yet an indication of not being strong enough.

Gu An lets out a sigh, catches the stone tossed in mid-air, and throws it. With this throw, the stone is cast beyond the Heavenly Dao, into Chaos.

In the depths of Chaos, amidst a cloud of brilliance, a world floats, possessing a foundation that even Central Heaven cannot compare to. Over countless eons, this world has amassed immense power.

This is the world of Demons. Countless demons crawl from the depths of the Abyss, fighting endless battles to reach the peak. When they leap beyond the limits of the world, Chaos faces a new calamity.

From a void, this world looks small, but standing on this land, it appears vast and boundless.

Now.

The boundless world of Demons encounters an equally vast world colliding from Outer Heaven. At a glance, it seems as though two lands are about to merge, a sudden phenomenon that terrifies all living beings on both lands.

Boom—

A collision of worlds, a cataclysmic calamity is inevitable. When the earth ceases to tremble, a silence falls, followed by madness.

The Demons’ dreaded disaster has arrived.

Beneath the tree, Gu An lies down, hands behind his head, observing the chaos.

This demonic world will, in the future, assault the Heavenly Dao, impacting even Central Heaven. Moreover, within this Demonic Realm, a Mixed Element Profound Venerable Immortal will be born in the midst of slaughter.

But all of this will be stifled.

The stone Gu An cast truly was just an ordinary rock from the grove, but after a few spins in his hand, it transformed into a great world. Its inhabitants became alive under his will, thinking and acting according to his will.

This influence is more terrifying than that of Cangtian over the living beings of the Heavenly Dao.

This is the gap between the Supreme Emperor of Ultimate Merging Dao and a Primordial Taiyi True Saint.

Gu An lies beneath the tree, watching the world battle unfold. The outcome of this battle is sure to be brutal, ending with the complete annihilation of one world.

Gu An gains no life span from it, which is also the power of this Divine Skill—it completely avoids cause and effect.

This means the matter has nothing to do with him; he doesn’t accrue karma or merit, and even the Great Dao cannot detect it.

This is his first time using this Divine Skill, and the results satisfy him, for it is a skill he created himself.

After one stick of incense’s time passes.

Gu An stands, stretches lazily, and heads deeper into the forest.

Within the Heavenly Dao, no one notices this conflict for now, but it quickly draws the attention of many Great Powers in Chaos.

Neither the world Gu An threw nor the Demonic Realm fails to deeply shock the beings of Chaos.

No one expected such two Great Worlds to be hidden in Chaos, colliding without apparent reason.

What kind of force could cause such a collision between these two Great Worlds?

...

Upon returning to the Mountain of No End, Gu An, as usual, returned to the courtyard and even gave Shen Zhen some guidance.

Such days are too ordinary for a Wushiji Disciple, without anything particularly special in the entire Heavenly Dao.

Until five hundred years later, in the Celestial Court, Gu An heard discussions about a terrifying battle between two massive forces in Chaos.

It is said that either force, taken individually, would not be easy for the Celestial Court to overcome in a short time.

Gu An heard this in his Cloud Realm, where a group of Immortal Gods had come to select Divine Steeds. They discussed this matter during the selection process.

Not only these Immortal Gods, but Immortal Gods throughout the Celestial Court are discussing this, the news spreading swiftly like a storm.

In recent years, Chaos has become a significant threat to the Heavenly Dao. The Celestial Court constantly faces countless Chaos assaults, and now hearing that Chaos hosts two forces as formidable as the Heavenly Dao at war, they cannot ignore it.

Some Immortal Gods are terrified, some are excited, while others are gloating.

Gu An saw the Celestial Emperor peering into Chaos, his expression as deep as an abyss, chilling to behold, but Gu An could hear his innermost thoughts.

The Celestial Emperor, too, was shocked. Despite his feigned indifference towards Chaos, he has always dispatched Immortal Gods to investigate it. He was familiar with the major forces in Chaos but was unaware of these two Great Worlds recently erupting into conflict.

He is gradually feeling the pressure; both Chaos and the Heavenly Dao present him with increasingly uncontrollable variables.

He cannot help but think of one thing.

If a world comparable to the Heavenly Dao were to collide with the Heavenly Dao, would his Celestial Dao Destiny be shaken?

The more he thinks, the heavier his heart feels. He even suspects this might be a warning from a supreme being.

Who could it be?

Is there anyone else whose cultivation level matches his?

Gu An listens to the Celestial Emperor’s inner voice, amused that even the lofty Celestial Emperor feels apprehension at times.

Nevertheless, the Celestial Emperor guessed correctly. By doing this, Gu An indeed was issuing a warning.

He fears the Celestial Emperor’s arrogance.

Gu An has already seen many ancient powers awakening from their slumber.

Many among them are even older than the Celestial Emperor.

Their awakening extends beyond concern for the Heavenly Dao to a pursuit of an opportunity.

Chaos Order!

The nine supreme Chaos Orders will only emerge at certain times, destined to rule all, yet they also face the possibility of being defeated and seized.
