Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

"Destiny Treasure, Gate of Myriad Wonders."

Alkaid took a fresh look at this treasure.

But this time, unlike before, after the treasure appeared before him, it was…

Like a lifeless object.

There wasn't any Power of Destiny surrounding it.

Alkaid thought he had seen wrongly and scrutinized it meticulously for a while, eventually having to admit there really was no Power of Destiny.

The Gate of Myriad Wonders had become an ordinary item without any divine peculiarities.

This result left him somewhat disappointed.

But upon further thought, it also made sense.

"The Three Thousand Great Daos cannot manifest outside the Ancient Immortal Realm either, like my surroundings, which is the Chaos Void where the Three Thousand Great Daos do not exist. If not for my 'Essence of Chaos' serving as the coordinate carrier, I would not even have a sense of space or time, let alone sensations related to Creation, Yin Yang, Lihuo, Cold Ice, and Great Path of Destruction."

Alkaid felt regretful: "If the Three Thousand Great Daos cannot manifest, then the Destiny Dao, which is one of the Three Thousand Great Daos, should likewise be unable to manifest."

In contemplation, he took a step forward, intending to return to the Ancient Immortal Realm.

However, just before re-entering the Ancient Immortal Realm, he seemed to think of something and his gaze landed on the Gate of Myriad Wonders again.

"The other two thousand nine hundred ninety-nine Great Daos cannot manifest, but can Destiny truly not manifest? Haven't I already concluded that Destiny should be a force that transcends the other two thousand nine hundred ninety-nine Great Daos? Then, such a force should not be limited by the Chaos Void..."

Alkaid looked at the Gate of Myriad Wonders in his hand and evaluated it once more.

Even when he washed over it with his own 'Essence of Chaos', he still could not detect any anomalies in this treasure from the Ancient Immortal Alliance.

It seemed to have indeed turned into a lifeless object, no longer divine.

After pondering for a moment, with a thought, Alkaid activated the enhancement of "Artifact Refining" through energy, instantly elevating his perspective and entering a state of "High-Dimensional Cognition."

Compared to entering "High-Dimensional Cognition" from within the Ancient Immortal Realm, which requires ascension from his own world and passing through the Immortal Realm and the Ancient Immortal Realm to reach the Chaos Void, his "vision" in the Chaos Void was undoubtedly much clearer.

He tried his best to focus his "gaze" on the Mysterious Door.

"The Mysterious Door, after all, is a wonder, an Artifact Refining creation, I should look at it through the eyes of a top 'Artifact Refiner'... Perhaps..."

Before Alkaid's train of thought finished, he keenly sensed something.

A key!

The Gate of Myriad Wonders was like a key.

That could open a door, from which power could be obtained.

And that true door...

Under the state of "High-Dimensional Cognition," Alkaid's "gaze" shifted to the core of the Ancient Immortal Realm—the Immortal Realm.

To be precise, it was on the Gate of Destiny and the Gate of Cause and Effect suspended high above the Immortal Realm.

"This is the key to unlocking the Gate of Destiny, to obtain power from the Gate of Destiny."

He realized in his heart.

However, this piece of information was quite similar to what he already knew and didn't hold much significance.

Alkaid simply used the connection between the Gate of Myriad Wonders, this key, and the Gate of Destiny in the Ancient Immortal Realm—the associative word—to continue searching for the Gate of Destiny, as well as...

The essence of everything in the Ancient Immortal Realm—Power of Destiny.

Under such observation, he seemed to finally "see" something in a trance.

The fundamental nature of the Ancient Immortal Realm!

The essence of the Ancient Immortal Realm's core originated from the birth of the "Power of Destiny."

On an extremely ancient day that he could not comprehend, the gaze of Destiny looked upon the then-nonexistent Ancient Immortal Realm.

Like a coincidence, an accident.

This nascent Power of Destiny exerted its trait as the foremost among the Three Thousand Great Daos, either transforming the Three Thousand Great Daos or causing the traits of the Three Thousand Great Daos to extend from Causality, Time, Void, and commence the birth of a world from nothing.

If the Void Path is the foundation bearing all Great Daos, Time Great Dao ensures the operation of the Three Thousand Great Daos, Causality Dao unifies the Three Thousand Great Daos into a coherent whole, then Destiny Dao is the beginning of all.

Only after Destiny gave birth to the ripples belonging to the "Ancient Immortal Realm" could the Ancient Immortal Realm have the potential to be conceived.

Just like countless creatures, only after truly conceiving the concept of "self," one becomes a genuine life.

He is the original One!

And the Universe at the moment of its birth, where thoughts collided and sparked the flames of Spiritual Light.

It is these Spiritual Light, these flames, that would officially nurture a galaxy after galaxy.

Alkaid "watched" this scene, continuously experiencing the various mysteries of the Destiny Dao.

However, in his mind, there still remained a question.

He had understood the Destiny Dao of the Ancient Immortal Realm.

Like an accident or a fortuitous coincidence, or some mystical inspiration that suddenly emerged.

But how do these inspirations, coincidences, and accidents come about?

Or rather, what was the initial, most primal form of Destiny?

What was it that gave rise to the Power of Destiny and fostered the birth of the Ancient Immortal Realm?

Too many puzzles, too many unknowns, sparked curiosity in Alkaid's heart.

Unfortunately…

To acquire information with the ability of High-Dimensional Cognition, there is a prerequisite condition: one must grasp the "key words".

It is like searching for a new book after knowing its title.

"However, at least I've got a bit of an idea now."

Alkaid withdrew his gaze that had been resting on the Gate of Destiny of the Ancient Immortal Realm.

Instantly, his field of vision plummeted, and his "cognition" returned to his corporeal self.

After retracting this kind of "vision," Alkaid was clearly a bit unused to it.

However, considering that the high-dimensional state only allows one to see and think but unable to do anything or interfere with the material world at all, he still felt this state was somewhat better.

"The essence of destiny can be viewed as the most initial point, translated into the concept of living beings, that is—'I'."

Alkaid pondered and refocused his gaze onto his own Essence of Chaos.

"Remaining in the Ancient Immortal Realm with the Essence of Chaos, on one hand, limits the growth of the Essence of Chaos and on the other hand, induces a sense of suppression within it. Should I leave the Essence of Chaos here?"

Alkaid glanced at the Glassy Ancient Tree in his Spiritual World; the branches of Integrate Dao: Fate had yet to sprout. But as his conviction willed, within his Essence of Chaos, destiny had formed...

That is the birth of the concept of "I."

"The essence of destiny is me, and I am destiny."

Alkaid's face carried a faint smile.

With the birth of the concept of "I," the Four Great Daos of causality, Void, and Time began to evolve.

With a thought, his corporeal self that was located in the Lower Realm Starry Sky took a step onto the Void and crossed the barriers of the Ancient Immortal Realm's world, heading straight to the Chaos Void.

To him now, there's no difference between the Immortal Realm and the Lower Realm Starry Sky.

As long as he wishes, both his corporeal self and clone can freely switch between the Ancient Immortal Realm and the Lower Realm.

Moreover, with the power of the Master of Primordial Yi extending to the Lower Realm Starry Sky, staying in the Lower Realm Starry Sky no longer has much significance.

With this thought in mind, his corporeal self swiftly arrived outside the Chaos Void and merged with the Shao Hua clone.

Without any need for words.

The Great Dao Towers, representing hundreds of different Great Daos in his hands, were brought out in one move and integrated into his Essence of Chaos, merging rapidly with the Chaos Essence that had evolved causality, time, and space into a single entity.

He had attempted this kind of experiment before, lacking the key aspects of the Destiny and Causality Dao, resulting in the evolved Chaos World turning into a mess.

The numerous Great Daos operated in a disorderly fashion, changing and intertwining.

Had it not been that the Power of the Great Dao he could control at that time was too weak, his Essence of Chaos would have burst, with light consequences resulting in great damage and severe consequences possibly falling into deep slumber.

As for when he would wake up after falling asleep, no one knew.

But this time, under the overarching Power of Destiny evolved from the concept of "I," hundreds of Great Daos ran in an orderly fashion.

What's especially astonishing is that the constant resonance between Daos was creating ex nihilo new Great Daos necessary for maintaining the operation of the world.

These Daos had never been perceived by Alkaid, but amidst the resonance of the Great Daos, due to the needs of the evolution of the Chaos World, they naturally formed.

However, their rate of evolution was much slower compared to the hundreds of Great Daos Alkaid was "familiar" with.

"Very good."

Alkaid watched as his Essence of Chaos transformed towards a Chaos World, his face full of smiles.

"Does this count as a form of creation, becoming the master of a new world?"

He looked upon the evolution of the world...

Having received the supplementation of the Causality Dao, Void Dao, Time Dao, and hundreds of other Great Daos, the evolutionary efficiency of this Chaos World had increased greatly.

If previously, the Chaos World that his Essence of Chaos transformed into would take 30 billion years to grow to a scale comparable to the Ancient Immortal Realm, then now...

This time had been shortened to within one billion years.

And furthermore, if he could comprehend more Great Daos and bring back more ways to evolve the Daos, this time would be significantly reduced.

If he could also bring over the Great Dao Share...

"Then how is that different from having devoured a part of the Ancient Immortal Realm?"

Alkaid muttered to himself.

But then again...

He glanced at the vast and majestic Ancient Immortal Realm, slowly turning.

A bite from such a big Ancient Immortal Realm shouldn't be too much of an issue, right?

The Chaotic Origin Realm is now leeching off the Ancient Immortal Realm, isn't it?

If he really took a bite, the Ancient Immortal Realm probably wouldn't be able to tell whether it was his doing or the Chaotic Origin Realm's.

"Speaking of, my understanding of the Daoist Ancestor seems to have deviated a bit. Taking the Void Ancestor as an example, as long as I wish, I can now fully master all Void Force. But... these Void Forces do not represent the entire Void Force of the Ancient Immortal Realm, what the Void Ancestor can truly control, does not include the Void Force that can maintain the existence of the Ancient Immortal Realm itself."

Alkaid contemplated, his heart stirred.

The evolving Essence of Chaos returned all the Power of the Great Dao to his corporeal self, condensing into the Great Dao Tower.

But with the loss of these powers, the time it took for the Chaos Essence to evolve into a Chaos World reverted to 30 billion years.

"Is this perhaps like the difference between personal income and disposable income?"

Alkaid said with a smile.

He didn't let his corporeal self return to the Starry Sky Universe, but stayed with his Essence of Chaos in this expanse of Nothingness, accelerating the evolution of the Essence of Chaos towards becoming a Chaos World.

Meanwhile, he took a step into the Void himself, returning to the Immortal Realm.
