CHAPTER 326: CHAPTER 242: THE SECOND CELESTIAL DAO

Great Cataclysm Domain, Mountainous Domain.

Lu Yan transformed into a ray of rainbow light, traversing the endless mountains, heading toward the direction of the Alliance of Immortals.

In Lu Yan’s mind, the transaction he had two days ago with the Great Collapse Celestial Dao still echoed.

At that time, Lu Yan merely borrowed the Human Emperor Banner, forged with the help of the Apocalypse Celestial Dao, to add a bit of persuasion and make the Great Collapse Celestial Dao offer more benefits.

Unexpectedly, upon seeing the Human Emperor Banner, the Great Collapse Celestial Dao seemed to make a certain decision and unexpectedly threw out something even Lu Yan hadn’t anticipated.

Forging of the Godly Court!

The concept of the Divine Court is passed down in many versions, where the powerful use a pantheon as the foundation, gathering countless deities to forge a Divine Court, instilling awe in the world through incense faith.

The weak, however, merely gather a handful of minor deities, occupy a region, and consider themselves the Lord of the Divine Court, which cannot be considered a true Divine Court.

Aside from these two, there exists a third type of Divine Court.

Nourished by the authority of the world, they share dominion over the mortal realm with the native Celestial Dao. The deities of the Divine Court cultivate merits, vie for authority, using the heavens as their chessboard, and all beings as their stakes.

Among the many versions, legends such as the Heavenly Court, Paradise, and Pantheon all belong to this third type of Divine Court.

Due to their immense size, information disturbances spread across countless versions. Despite being restricted by the unique characteristic of this world, unable to expand their influence across many worlds, their renown is eternally circulated.

Such a Divine Court can be called the second Celestial Dao!

The Forging of the Godly Court promised by the Great Collapse Celestial Dao is certainly not the first two types, hence, it must be the Divine Court of the second Celestial Dao.

In various versions, countless have tried to establish the second Celestial Dao, including this world’s only one, but successful ones are very few.

The greatest challenge of establishing the second Celestial Dao is that it requires the native Celestial Dao to share their authority belonging to the Celestial Dao, maintaining the equal status of both the Divine Court and the Celestial Dao.

This is not something that mere strength can achieve. The Celestial Dao acts according to order, and the legendary Lord of the Heavenly Court endured one thousand seven hundred and fifty catastrophes to reverse the order of the world, gaining the recognition of the Celestial Dao and jointly reigning over the universe with it.

Without such capability, no matter the cultivation level, it is in vain.

In the Great Collapse version, due to the oppression from numerous versions, this world has not birthed a Celestial Dao for tens of thousands of years. Thus, when the Great Collapse Celestial Dao emerged, it had a will entirely different from other Celestial Daos.

And Lu Yan is the only one to break the situation in tens of thousands of years, the sole opportunity for the Great Collapse Celestial Dao to perfect its version.

For this reason, Lu Yan can transact with the Great Collapse Celestial Dao, getting the chance to establish the Godly Court.

Of course, Lu Yan also understands that while the Great Collapse Celestial Dao seems generous in its offerings, it actually harbors hidden intentions.

Lu Yan is not this world’s only one and will not limit himself to the Great Collapse version.

Even though the Great Collapse Celestial Dao shares the Celestial Dao authority, Lu Yan will not always hold the authority. Most of the time, the entire version still follows the operation of the Great Collapse Celestial Dao.

Compared to the gains he could achieve, the pure authority of the Great Cataclysm Domain’s Celestial Dao is not important to Lu Yan.

Establishing a Supreme Divine Court renowned among numerous versions is undoubtedly a tremendous opportunity for Lu Yan, so he agreed without hesitation.

The transaction was established, but destroying the version fragments is not an overnight success.

Lu Yan’s dominance over Intelligent Machinery City was entirely due to his own divine techniques suppressing the intelligent creations. If two true Nascent Soul experts were present, Lu Yan would not have had such an easy time.

Therefore, after the Great Collapse Celestial Dao accepted the transaction, Lu Yan prepared to find those weaker version forces, using the momentum of the Underworld and the characteristic of the Unchanging to dominate the version forces, and then use the World Destruction Rules to destroy the version fragments.

But unexpectedly, the Great Collapse Celestial Dao seemed to see through Lu Yan’s cautious thoughts and directly threw out another huge carrot.

"The more powerful the destroyed version fragments, the more endorsements from the Celestial Dao authority will be gained when casting the Godly Court through the projections of numerous versions."

If the version forces corresponding to the Nine Heavens are completely destroyed, the foundation of the Godly Court can be forged with the power of the Great Collapse version.

This condition alone made Lu Yan abandon his previous careful calculations.

The promise of the Great Collapse Celestial Dao could truly elevate the Godly Court overnight, so naturally, Lu Yan was unwilling to miss this opportunity.

However, to contend against the Nine Heavens, including the Alliance of Immortals, and to destroy their version fragments is something absolutely impossible with Lu Yan’s current cultivation level.

But since he accepted the transaction, Lu Yan already had some vague ideas, albeit uncertain if they could be executed.

The maximum stay in the Great Collapse version is less than five months, and Lu Yan must seize every second.

After finalizing the transaction with the Great Collapse Celestial Dao, Lu Yan rushed directly in the direction of the Alliance of Immortals.

Lu Yan must gather the resources of the Alliance of Immortals and enhance his strength as much as possible within this time period to have the chance to complete the transaction.

After crossing several more great mountains, the scenery before Lu Yan suddenly changed.

At the end of the mountains, amidst barren ridges, a vast realm unfolded like a celestial curtain.

At a glance, Lu Yan confirmed that this realm was a Cave Heaven World, also a version fragment of the Xianxia genre.

Seventeen Immortal Isles floated above the Nine Heavens, where immortal light and spiritual rhyme flowed.

They were not static but moving slowly along some mysterious trajectory, akin to stars performing celestial motions in the cosmos, forming a vast Great Formation.

Intangible array patterns transformed into the grand principles of heaven and earth, blending into the Cave Heaven World, so that any slight change would be met with a world-toppling oppressive force.
