Lin Yang possessed as many avatars as there were human worlds. Moreover, as long as the legend persisted, the avatars would not truly die. Therefore, after about a breath, the axe light completely vanished.
At this moment, Lin Yang's face was deathly pale. Golden blood dripped out, and his handsome face was covered in sweat, with bulging veins, showing that he was in great pain.
"Heaven is on my side." With that, Lin Yang fainted. In his last instant, all he saw was a Jade Disc of Creation.
...
After some time, Lin Yang woke up. He was lying on a bed, and above his head was a Creation Jade Butterfly that was constantly radiating light.
After briefly assessing his body, Lin Yang discovered that his legs were somewhat immobile. Even the color of his skin had changed; it was covered in dark spots, a truly terrifying sight.
"Phew, at least I'm not dead. This is the Great Luo? It's really powerful. Luckily, I'm a Dao Lord, immortal and indestructible. At most, they can only seal me. Even if they really kill me, they can just wait for a while and then be resurrected."
As he spoke, Lin Yang felt both relieved and terrified. This time, he had truly failed! And so badly at that; he hadn't been this unlucky in a very, very long time.
From the very beginning, perhaps he had fallen into a trap. He was completely unaware of it, after all, his original plan was to cultivate Sun Wukong to rebel against Heaven, create weaknesses, make the gods distracted, and then take the opportunity to attack.
But the result was that I was taken advantage of!
"My lord, you're awake!"
Without even looking up, Lin Yang knew this was definitely a ruthless person. Ever since their encounter, the ruthless person had become increasingly gentle.
Seeing her somewhat worried expression, Lin Yang smiled and said, "It's alright. Now that I've woken up, there's nothing serious. As for these Heavenly Gods and Demons, just seal them for now. As for revenge, we'll talk about that after I break through."
Upon hearing this, the ruthless man smiled, relieved that everything was alright. Nothing was more important than this.
"Breakthrough? Could it be that you, my lord, have some ideas about breaking through to the Great Luo realm?" the ruthless man suddenly asked curiously.
Keep in mind, that's a Great Luo Immortal! Even the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, who once dominated all ages, was only a half-step eighth-order cultivator before his ascension, limited by the world's origin, right?
Seeing this, Lin Yang nodded.
"In a way, this misfortune has turned into a blessing in disguise. Although nine-tenths of my strength has been lost and I won't be able to recover it in a short time, I have a new idea about the Great Luo realm. Hmm, one of the paths to the Great Luo realm is still to achieve it directly through the source."
"For example, there are some innate deities who are born as Great Luo Immortals. This is due to being born into a good family and having a strong reincarnation technique, which we cannot imitate."
"Furthermore, the world's origin is abundant, and by attaining certain special fruits, one can also achieve the Great Luo. The principle here is actually similar to the previous one; both utilize the origin."
"Of course, there are also some methods specifically for poor geniuses. That is to spread the word more, make great contributions to the three paths of Heaven, Earth and Man, or to Heaven and Earth itself, and then the world will reward you by providing you with enough source material for your breakthrough."
"To put it bluntly, no matter what method is used, it all revolves around the origin. Currently, the grade of our world is still only at the peak of the mid-stage of the Heavenly Rank, which is not enough for people to prove the Great Luo. Or rather, it is still lacking a bit of maturity."
"Therefore, I have no choice but to take this third path, the path that only the poor can take. As for whether my path can contribute to Heaven and Earth, or to any of the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man, and receive their gifts, we can only know after the experiment," Lin Yang explained slowly.
At the same time, I also sorted out my thoughts and strengthened my determination to prove myself. Maybe I will succeed?
"Then what is your path, my lord?" the ruthless man suddenly asked, also with some curiosity.
Having known Lin Yang for so many years, I never felt that he was the kind of person who could have an epiphany overnight and comprehend the Great Dao.
Seeing the ruthless man's smile, Lin Yang suddenly coughed.
"Of course I can do it. Isn't it just proving the Way? What's so difficult about it? As for my Way, it is related to the Way of Humanity."
"In my life, I lack a strong will and a diligent habit. What I have is laziness, greed, and lust. My will is not firm enough, and I often take chances when faced with problems. My only advantage is perhaps good luck. Therefore, there is no way for me to prove the will of Heaven. I am aware of this much of myself," Lin Yang said with a self-deprecating laugh.
"Therefore, I can't follow any of those paths that require a lot of high standards, such as the Primordial Dao, the Yin-Yang Dao, the Five Elements Dao, the Creation Dao, the Destruction Dao, or the paths involving time, space, the sun, moon, and stars. I probably won't be interested in trying them in this lifetime."

Chapter 77: Timeline, Multiverse, Great Luo
Remember me in one second! Fast updates, free to read!
Generally speaking, the lofty laws of Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, creation and destruction, and time and space impose quite a few requirements on cultivators.
At least, Lin Yang doesn't meet the requirements at this point. At most, he can only dabble in it; if he wants to go deeper, it would be a classic case of wasting time and effort for little gain, a complete waste of money.
Moreover, Lin Yang did not want to one day become like those innate gods, aloof and indifferent, seemingly having nothing to care about except the Great Dao.
After a long time, he would be no different from a stone. He would have almost no emotions or desires, and all he would do all day was cultivate. Just thinking about such a life is unbearable.
"I was just an ordinary scholar. If I hadn't been lucky enough to encounter the Reincarnation Space, I probably would have just been an ordinary commoner for the rest of my life."
"I am greedy for food, money, and lustful. I also have a strong possessive streak. When I encounter something beautiful, I always want to bring it home and watch it in real time. I am afraid of pain, hardship, and fatigue. I am not hardworking or persistent enough. I do not have a firm perseverance or a strong enough will."
"Even with my current strength, I have always been just an ordinary commoner. I am far from the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, it is better for me to follow the path of humanity."
"At that time, I will use humanity as the foundation to prove my Great Dao. This is the path most suitable for me. However, whether it can succeed or not still needs to be verified and discussed first. Fortunately, your strength has already reached its limit, so come with me. That way, you can learn from me later," Lin Yang said gently.
“Alright, as you wish. Since you're having trouble walking right now, let me help you.” With that, the ruthless man stepped forward, took Lin Yang's hand, and carefully supported him. The two exchanged a smile, and then their figures disappeared.
With a whoosh, a long river flows swiftly forward. Looking ahead, the river's past appears deep and dark, stretching as far as the eye can see. Following the river's course downstream, one discovers that its flow takes countless and varied directions.
This is the legendary, mystical River of Time. At this moment, Lin Yang and the Ruthless Man stood on the river, looking up and observing everything around them.
"Time flows like a river, never ceasing day or night. This is the long river of time. Now that you've seen this, what are your thoughts, Ruthless One?" With that, Lin Yang squatted down and started playing in the water.
"The past is dark, the future is bright. Does this mean the past is constant, has already happened, and is therefore unchangeable, while the future is yet to come, with countless possibilities?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yang smiled but said nothing, and immediately took action. Soon after, he led several people to a low-level world, which, judging by its grade, was merely a Xuan-level world.
At first glance, a scene came to mind. In the scene, a group of people were chasing someone, and soon the person being chased was surrounded and had no way to escape.
"Ye Liangchen, back in the day you were one of the top experts in the world, why aren't you running away now? Go ahead and run! Keep running!"
