Stronger with Crimson Modifier

For instance, the original Azure Mirage Realm had been the Mirage Dragon's own Transformation Realm.

Only after its death was it exposed, transforming into its current state.

Reaching this stage undoubtedly requires a vast amount of time.

For a True God, however, time is the one thing they do not lack.

As long as they live, they will inevitably reach that stage one day.

However, compared to the second stage—the Dao Seed—the Transformation Realm is merely the most basic part.

Condensing a Dao Seed is extremely difficult.

The first step is to forge one's own Dao.

This is commonly known as Enlightenment.

The Dao is the culmination of one's entire journey.

Whether one can achieve Enlightenment and gain insight from it depends entirely on the individual.

Some True Gods even remain trapped at this stage for countless ages, unable to make any progress.

Moreover, even comprehending one's Dao is merely the Entry-Level stage on the path to a Dao Seed.

To further elevate one's Dao and condense a Dao Seed, one must acquire Dao Rhyme to perfect it.

As for Dao Rhyme, it can only be obtained by venturing into the deepest parts of the Bottomless Realm.

Only the Bottomless Realm contains remnants of Dao Rhyme.

The process by which a True God condenses a Dao Seed involves first comprehending their own Dao, then acquiring Dao Rhyme and using it as nourishment to perfect the Great Dao they have realized.

This process continues until a Dao Seed is finally condensed. This culmination is known as the Dao Seed Level.

However, while the path for all True Gods follows the same fundamental steps, the Dao each one walks is almost always unique.

A path that suits another may not suit oneself.

Ultimately, one's Dao must align with one's own fundamental nature.

Hu Qi recalled the information he had obtained about the Mirage Dragon, a True God.

After countless ages of dormancy, the Mirage Dragon had comprehended its own Dao: the Illusion Dao.

The Illusion Dao was not limited to just creating Illusions.

As it developed, perfected by Dao Rhyme, it could branch into different directions and possibilities.

For example, it could turn the illusory into the real, granting Illusions tangible power or even altering the rules of reality itself.

Alternatively, it could create an eternal Illusion Realm, independent of reality, and become the supreme ruler of that world, where everything would be subject to its will.

Of course, achieving any of this required harvesting enough Dao Rhyme to perfect the Dao and condense a Dao Seed.

The path the Mirage Dragon had chosen was to use illusions to influence reality.

Unfortunately, it died before it could succeed, having only just reached the stage of Enlightenment.

But even if it hadn't died, success would have been incredibly difficult.

The more powerful the Dao one seeks to form, the more difficult it becomes to elevate it and condense the Dao Seed.

And the path the Mirage Dragon had wanted to walk, even to Hu Qi, seemed absurdly ambitious.

If it had actually succeeded, it would have become terrifying beyond measure.

The process of acquiring Dao Rhyme to perfect one's Great Dao felt to Hu Qi a bit like assembling a machine or completing a jigsaw puzzle.

The Great Dao one comprehends is just the core, while Dao Rhyme acts as the various components.

They are the key to determining the final form of the condensed Dao Seed.

To steer one's path in the desired direction, one must obtain the corresponding types of Dao Rhyme.

For example, if someone comprehended the Blade Dao and pursued the path of severing all things, they would need Dao Rhyme that enhances power, such as those related to Sharpness or resilience.

Other types of Dao Rhyme might be completely unsuitable.

Different combinations of Dao Rhyme would affect the final condensed Dao Seed.

True Gods at the Transformation Realm Level generally remain within the Deep Dark Zone.

Meanwhile, True Gods at the Dao Seed Level mostly use the Deep Dark Zone merely as a place to rest.

They spend most of their time exploring the Bottomless Realm, using various methods to collect Dao Rhyme, gain insights, and perfect their Great Dao.

Of course, for Hu Qi right now, comprehending the Great Dao, acquiring Dao Rhyme, and condensing a Dao Seed were not his immediate priorities.

What he needed to do now was complete his Transformation Realm.

Compared to other newly ascended True Gods, he had a significant advantage.

This was because the Void Space within him was already a world in its embryonic form.

After his breakthrough to True God, his world's evolution had already reached 53%.

Once it reaches one hundred percent, the world's evolution will be complete.

At this thought, Hu Qi slowly rose to his feet. With a single step, his figure vanished, and he departed from the Immortal Realm.

...

「Ten years had passed since the day Hu Qi stormed the Immortal Court and the immortals fell.」

In the Mortal Realm of the Cangzhou Realm, after the passage to the Immortal Realm closed, some factions of the Demon Race began a frenzied slaughter of Human Race Cultivators.

Demons and humans had always found it difficult to coexist peacefully.

In the past, suppressed by the Three Great Immortal Sects and the Immortal Court, the Demon Race, though resentful, had not dared to act rashly.

Now, however, with the upper echelons of the Human Race Cultivators almost entirely wiped out, the situation had changed drastically.

The blood feud, built up over ten thousand years, could no longer be contained.

At first, the slaughter was rampant, and rivers of blood flowed. But as time passed, the conflict gradually subsided.

Although the Human Race's Three Great Immortal Sects were nearly wiped out, the Demon Race had few Nascent Soul Powerhouses or Demon Saints left either.

Furthermore, bolstered by Arrays and Elixirs, the Human Race Cultivators had not lost all their strength.

If the slaughter continued, both sides feared mutual annihilation.

And so, forced by the circumstances, the two sides had no choice but to declare a truce.

However, the political landscape of the Cangzhou Realm had been completely transformed.

The original territories were redrawn, with some regions falling under the dominion of the Demon Race.

Meanwhile, the once-scattered human dynasties, led by the remaining Cultivators, migrated en masse. They gathered on one side of the Cangzhou Realm and constructed the Boundary City, completely sealing themselves off from the incursions of the Demon Race.
