The Origin Progenitor crouched low beneath the Immemorial Citadel. He clenched his jaw, holding countless sequence strings between his teeth.
At this moment, those sequence strings were all vibrating, which caught him off guard.
Mister Mu arrived. "Hold tight. That kid is breaking through to the Progenitor realm, and it’s creating a huge commotion. Even the Immemorial Citadel is being affected."
The Origin Progenitor chuckled. "It's not that big a deal. He's just trying to create some more space to survive in. During my breakthrough, there was a much bigger commotion. Do you think the various species came to fight me? No! All of them were too scared of me. Even the Boundary Guardians were frightened."
Mister Mu calmly replied, "Stop boasting. This breakthrough is only for one of his inner worlds, and he still has three more. That huge commotion that you stirred up wasn't during your Progenitor breakthrough, was it? Do you think I’m ignorant? That happened during your breakthrough to the Origin realm."
"It was when I became a Progenitor. You're underestimating me."
"No, it was when you became an Ortuser. I'm absolutely certain."
"Old Mu, accepting Pillar as your disciple is the only thing in your life that you can brag about. Aside from him, you're worthless."
"Go ahead and insult me all you want, but I'm not changing my words. Endure. It's almost time."
In the Second Scourge, Lu Yin sensed various parallel universes approaching, and it felt as though they were about to crush him.
Right as they were about to collide, a familiar sight appeared; it was the Sixth Mainland.
The Origin Universe also appeared. Lu Yin had been born in the Origin Universe, so if he were to create a new parallel universe, the first one that would be pushed aside was the Origin Universe.
Both the Sixth Mainland and the Fifth Mainland were ready to crush Lu Yin.
Lu Yin took a deep breath. He had already known that his Progenitor’s breakthrough would be difficult, but this still exceeded his expectations.
Who else had ever needed to withstand the suppression of numerous parallel universes to overcome their breakthrough and become a Progenitor? No one. Lu Yin had never heard of such a thing before.
Lu Yuan, Hongyan Mavis, Wu Tian, and Garan Zhiluo were all stunned. They were among humanity’s strongest experts as the Three Realms and Six Daos, and they all had amassed vast experience, but none of them had ever encountered such a phenomenon, aside from their master. He was the only one who had ever produced a similar phenomenon during a breakthrough. He had caused the entire megaverse and countless parallel universes to tremble in fear. That commotion had been much greater than what Lu Yin was currently inducing, but that was because it had happened during their master’s breakthrough to the Origin realm. His tribulation had disrupted the entire megaverse’s sequence particles. But right now, Lu Yin was just challenging his Progenitor breakthrough.
"Little Seven," Lu Yuan called out, worried.
Lu Tianyi, Qing Ping, Mu Ke, Jiang Feng, and many others looked at him with similar concern. This breakthrough’s tribulation was so large that none of them knew how to deal with it.
Bai Xian'er looked up at the sky with calm eyes.
The Divine Eagle and Python Ancestor both let out cries, seemingly worried.
Lu Yin clenched a fist. Since he had triggered this tribulation by trying to breakthrough with Dust World, he would need to use Dust World to overcome this.
He closed his eyes.
The void in the Second Scourge continued to split apart, the fissures coming together until they formed a black river that appeared to flow backward. This was not a real river, but rather the illusion of one formed by countless spatial tears that had merged together.
More and more spatial tears opened as the river edged closer and closer to Lu Yin.
From a distance, it looked as though Lu Yin was trapped inside a black jar that was about to close.
Lu Yin’s eyes suddenly snapped open, and his Dust World appeared above him, surrounded by the six pieces of Primaldust. He clasped his hands behind his back and stared at the Origin Universe. He spoke with an aura of transcendence, "I am the Dao Monarch of the Heavens Sect. I carry the will of the people and accept the prayers of all creatures. �
"Today, I vow that I, for the sake of humanity, will establish a foothold in this megaverse.
"I, for the sake of humanity, will protect all creatures in this universe, no matter if they are human or other.
"In the megaverse, among the countless races, humanity shall rise above all in wisdom.”
The parallel universes all trembled and roared, and the countless spatial tears flashed non-stop.
"Fifth Mainland, will you acknowledge my name?"
The Fifth Mainland trembled.
"Sixth Mainland, will you acknowledge my name?"
The Sixth Mainland trembled.
"Origin Universe, will you acknowledge my name? I am Lu Yin, Dao Monarch of the Heavens Sect."
In the Origin Universe, countless people looked up, and they all saw Lu Yin. Everyone was able to see him. That’s the Dao Monarch, the Dao Monarch…
"I will lead humanity to invincibility. Beneath this sky, in this megaverse, in this reality, who will dare oppose us?
"No matter what path I take, humanity will always be my first priority. I, Lu Yin, will always be right, and the path I tread will lead to success. Am I wrong?"
There was a brief silence in the Origin Universe, followed by a thunderous roar, "Yes, the Dao Monarch is right! The Dao Monarch's path is true! It will succeed. Who dares to oppose the Dao Monarch?"
"The Dao Monarch's path is true!"
"The Dao Monarch is invincible and leads humanity!"
"The Dao Monarch is invincible!"
"The Dao Monarch is invincible!"
...
Countless voices converged into a torrent of sound that ran through the Origin Universe, shaking the Fifth and Sixth Mainlands. Everyone in the universe was shouting wildly, and soon, countless parallel universes that were part of the Sixverse Association and even outsider universes joined them.
Lu Yin stood in the sky, countless voices swirling around him. He was listening to them again, but this time, the voices were for him. This was the true meaning of "prayers of all creatures."
The prayers of all creatures did not only mean listening to the desires of all creatures, but also disseminating the desires of an individual to all creatures.
There were no absolutes in the megaverse. Only living creatures were able to create limits.
The countless prayers melded into a surge of force that pushed the Origin Universe into its neighboring parallel universes, and dozens of parallel universes that were part of the Sixverse Association also appeared. They slammed into the various parallel universes that sought to crush Lu Yin as well.
The entire sky above the Second Scourge shattered. Lu Yin stood in the air like a deity, without even needing to lift a finger. No matter who stepped forward, none could block his path. The path he walked was the correct one.
