On the third day after Zhou Bai initiated Time Reverse and disconnected from the Heavenly Demon Pool.

In the third layer of Supreme Heaven, within the Jade Clear Heaven.

At this moment, all that remained of the Divine Emperor was the last part of his head.

The giant tree behind him continued to thrive, with faint blood-colored light shimmering on its surface.

The Haotian Divine Emperor looked at the Supreme Heavenly Venerate on the tree and suddenly said, "Is the content in the 'Purple Mansion Secret Scroll' true?"

He entered Supreme Heaven to search for the archives of the previous Heavenly Court, to understand the secrets of the court, the outsiders known as the Spiritual People, and why they came to Earth, to figure out all the reasons.

These were things unknown to him, who was born only seven hundred years ago.

And Haotian Divine Emperor himself has a great curiosity about his race, origins, and civilization.

The last time the Supreme Heavenly Venerate allowed Haotian Divine Emperor to read the 'Purple Mansion Secret Scroll', it solved many of his doubts, letting him understand many reasons for their coming to Earth and the circumstances of the external practitioners.

Faced with Haotian Divine Emperor's question, the Supreme Heavenly Venerate said indifferently, "I never lie."

Haotian Divine Emperor only sneered at this, cursing "old dog" in his heart, then said, "When you first came to this planet, did you not check what was calling you here?"

The Supreme Heavenly Venerate replied, "Of course, we conducted a thorough investigation, but apart from those demons, nothing of value was found."

Haotian Divine Emperor asked again, "Have you contacted the Void Dao Palace?"

The Supreme Heavenly Venerate smiled slightly, "What's the point of contact? When we left, the Void Dao Palace had long been fragmented, with only a few of the 108 Dao Sequences left. Contacting them would do no more than provoke another group of enemies."

"However, once I've accumulated enough on Earth and truly reach an invincible state, I will naturally return to restore order and clean up the mess."

Haotian Divine Emperor looked at the Supreme Heavenly Venerate puzzled, "Invincible? Is that your goal? Folks like us should know that there is no so-called invincible in this world…"

Before Haotian Divine Emperor could finish, the Supreme Heavenly Venerate spoke to himself, "Someone once told me…"

"The 108 Dao Sequences, the Dao Ancestors of the Void Dao Palace, the immortals and gods of the Heavenly Court, there are always endless powerful beings in this world…only because our universe holds the existence of Heavenly Dao, supreme beings will always emerge."

"The strong can trample on rules, surpassing the collective efforts of a whole race, a country, or even a civilization, with merely their strength."

"Hence, even if the Void Dao Palace united with seventy-two Dao Ancestors, it couldn't maintain stable rule; because beings as strong as Dao Ancestors themselves trample on rules."

"And a slight whim of supreme beings may lead to the destruction of civilizations, chaos across galaxies, void disasters, and areas of distortion."

Haotian Divine Emperor frowned, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

The Supreme Heavenly Venerate said blandly, "This world needs an invincible powerhouse, using absolute strength to rule the entire universe, bringing all of humanity back to order, ceasing the reckless misuse of void and Heavenly Dao powers, and maintaining the stability of the entire universe."

"Someone once told me."

Listening to the Supreme Heavenly Venerate's words, Haotian Divine Emperor suddenly laughed, "It seems like you want to be such a power, ruling the universe with invincible strength?"

The Supreme Heavenly Venerate shook his head, "I have no interest in ruling, but if an invincible powerhouse is to emerge to suppress humanity across the universe, I do not wish to be the one suppressed."

Haotian Divine Emperor sneered, "You go to such lengths…is solely to become invincible? How do you know such a state exists? The so-called invincible, a powerhouse suppressing the entire universe alone, is utterly impossible when you think about it."

The Supreme Heavenly Venerate paid no heed to Haotian Divine Emperor's mockery and stated plainly, "The universe revolves around the Heavenly Dao. Only by completely adapting to the Heavenly Dao, overcoming the Heavenly Dao, can one adapt to and recreate every phenomenon within the universe."

"If someone can reach this state, then there would be nothing and no one in this world able to restrain me."

Haotian Divine Emperor asked, "Do you have a way to reach that stage?"

The Supreme Heavenly Venerate said, "I have long been on the path towards this state…"

As he spoke, tree branches entwined around Haotian Divine Emperor's head, ravenously consuming the energy within him.

But as the divine body weakened to the extreme, Haotian Divine Emperor felt a deep and unfathomable force surging out from his sea of consciousness, forming a human figure appearing before him.

Simultaneously, accompanying the descent of this force, a body rapidly grew under Haotian Divine Emperor's head, and in a blink of an eye, his physique was restored in attire.

The instant he saw the figure, Haotian Divine Emperor was shocked, "Master?"

The figure before him astonishingly had the appearance of the Demon Saint.

Upon seeing this figure devoid of the slightest intelligence, the Supreme Heavenly Venerate laughed aloud, "Demon Saint, I knew you left a backhand on this kid, I've been waiting for you a long time."

As he spoke, the Divine Tree controlled by the Supreme Heavenly Venerate began to tremble violently, innumerable branches extended like long arms, covering the shadow of the Demon Saint like a vast net.

At this moment, Haotian Divine Emperor's heart flashed with an enlightenment, "Master left a force in me for my survival."

"This is the Supreme Heavenly Venerate's real goal, to steal this trace of master's power for insight?"

...

Within the Moon Palace, Zhou Bai looked at the prompt that appeared on the Heavenly Disaster Nine Tribulations System and was momentarily dazed.

"The Heavenly Disaster Nine Tribulations auxiliary cultivation system can still be updated? Could this thing still be connected to the external practitioners through the void?"

Zhou Bai shook his head, "No, this prompt came after I read the Purple Mansion Secret Scroll, the update must be related to the Purple Mansion Secret Scroll."

Zhou Bai's mind raced, he quickly thought of several possibilities, a gleam of understanding flashed in his eyes.

"Dr. Zhuang." He turned to Dr. Zhuang and said, "The Heavenly Yan Beast Plan served as a backup for what the external practitioners call their millennial plan, it must be something they regard with extreme importance."

"Do you think, in such a situation, if the Heavenly Yan Beast rebelled and was purged by external practitioners…"

"Would the external practitioners abandon the Heavenly Yan Beast Plan due to this rebellion, or move to another place to continue their research?"

Dr. Zhuang's face sank and he said slowly, "They would relocate for sure, becoming more cautious, more careful, more strictly guarded, and continue their research."

Zhou Bai said, "So, it seems there may be demons not only on Earth but elsewhere in the universe."

He thought to himself: 'If the Heavenly Yan Beast were to be widely implemented, the Purple Mansion Secret Scroll, which was specifically created for the Heavenly Yan Beast's Dao techniques, would also be widely promoted.'

'And my Heavenly Disaster Nine Tribulations auxiliary cultivation system can even update through the Purple Mansion Secret Scroll…'

'Does this mean the Purple Mansion Secret Scroll has been integrated into the Heavenly Disaster Nine Tribulations as well?'

'Maybe the external practitioners have already integrated the Heavenly Yan Beast Plan with the Heavenly Disaster Nine Tribulations Plan, because both plans were meant to be mass-produced and universalized.'

Meanwhile, Zhou Bai silently selected "yes" on the Heavenly Disaster Nine Tribulations auxiliary cultivation system, initiating the update of the entire system.
