Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses

Under the gaze of dozens of cultivators, a monstrous fog rose at the end of the world, its length and width immeasurable, seemingly swallowing half the sky. In the endless darkness appeared a pair of terrifying eyes, like two blood moons, oppressive and eerie.

Dozens of cultivators felt their hearts race with fear, but when the gallant silver bird’s majestic form entered their sight, their terror instantly dissipated a great deal.

The silver-white divine bird showed no fear. As its divine wings vibrated, it did not stir up winds, seeming not to belong to this world, making it appear all the more agile.

Suddenly!

The silver-white divine bird abruptly accelerated, transforming into a rainbow of seven colors, charging into the massive black fog, causing the heavens and earth to erupt with dazzling radiance, compelling dozens of cultivators to instinctively close their eyes, unable to look directly ahead.

“Roar—”

A hysterical roar echoed in their ears, deafening, yet they were no longer afraid, because within those roars they heard despair.

Those unyielding, supremely cruel evil demons were in despair!

What an inspiring thing!

…

Above the grand hall, Xuanyuan Human Venerable stood before the throne, and together with Elder Cixuan, watched in the same direction. They all saw the silhouette of the Wushi Divine Sparrow.

“Is it the Ancestor Master Wushi taking action? This bird is truly formidable!”

Xuanyuan Human Venerable could not help but speak, his tone full of surprise.

Elder Cixuan did not turn around, he steadily watched that Great Thousand World, seeing Wushi Divine Sparrow press forward, annihilating all evil demons that obstructed its path, his heart equally stirred.

It seemed the Ancestor Master Wushi is not just talk; with such a divine bird, who can resist?

After all, being an Immortal Monarch, he cannot discern the cultivation level of this divine bird!

Not only him, Xuanyuan Human Venerable could not see through it either, which is why they felt invigorated, sensing hope to reverse the situation.

Wushi Divine Sparrow moved swiftly, only making a round through that Great World and vanquishing all evil demons within. These demons hailed from chaos, yet facing Wushi Divine Sparrow, no divine skills they performed could shake its form. Instead, they were burned to ashes by its overwhelming flames of seven colors.

Unstoppable!

After destroying the evil demons of this Great World, Wushi Divine Sparrow flew outside the heavens, crossing the void, directly descending upon the next Great World. This world was likewise occupied by the Great Immortal Divine Yuan, and all beings were in distress.

The rainbow light drove away the darkness, bringing light to all beings, bringing hope to Xuanyuan Human Venerable.

However, Xuanyuan Human Venerable and Elder Cixuan saw an endless stream of great powers, evil demons approaching Wushi Divine Sparrow.

The moment Wushi Divine Sparrow appeared, it alarmed the Immortal Gods under the Great Immortal Divine Yuan. In this contest for the Celestial Mandate, some Immortal Gods were responsible for overseeing the entire situation, immediately detecting any changes.

Upon arriving at the second Great Thousand World, spatial black holes continuously appeared in the dark celestial vault. Mighty Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, members of the Mo Luo Clan, and possessors of Demon God Bodies appeared, densely packed, quickly surrounding Wushi Divine Sparrow.

Even in the stone hall, Beichen Star Monarch saw this scene. He frowned, watching the magnificent Wushi Divine Sparrow, feeling a sense of unease.

The battle in the Three Thousand Great Worlds was not his concern; his current responsibility was to oversee the Master of the Great World within the hall.

“What on earth is the origin of this bird? Why have I never seen it before?”

Beichen Star Monarch muttered to himself, continuing to observe, but the more he watched, the more alarmed he became.

Even when encircled by a million opponents, that divine bird did not stop; it was completely unstoppable. Those he deemed formidable could not withstand the divine bird, their attacks utterly ineffective.

…

[You successfully seized 908,762,431 years of life span from Night Demon Monarch (Early Stage of Innate Golden Immortal Realm)]

[You successfully seized 32,870,871,107 years of life span from Su Qiumo (Late Stage of Hengtian Golden Immortal Realm)]

[You successfully seized 64,592,883 years of life span from Heavenly Falling Star (Late Stage of Innate Golden Immortal Realm)]

One prompt after another popped up before Gu An’s eyes. He couldn’t help but sigh; indeed, those daring to participate in the Celestial Mandate struggle mostly have known their fate and had to take a gamble to avoid death.

Immortal Gods could not grant him life span, but fortunately, there were enough evil demons.

Gu An’s life span began to surge wildly, even making his Dao Heart ripple.

To him, the life span was like the experience bar in a game, concerning his strength. Seeing the experience bar shoot up at an unprecedented pace, he felt both exhilarated and somewhat anxious.

Even though he was killing evil demons of the most despicable kind, killing too many could become burdensome.

He could only think that he was helping the Three Thousand Great Worlds, and with Xuanyuan Human Venerable around, the Celestial Court would not hold him accountable.

Although he already possessed the ability to face the Celestial Court, Gu An still did not want to prematurely become its enemy.

The Celestial Emperor was his imaginary foe—not that he necessarily wanted to battle the Celestial Emperor, but he had to ensure he possessed the effortless strength to eradicate the Celestial Emperor before he could completely disregard the Celestial Court.

Gu An stood up, preparing to take a walk in the dojo to disperse his focus.

But the speed at which his life span increased was faster than he imagined. When he reached the foot of the mountain, new prompts appeared before him.

[Your life span has broken through ten trillion years for the first time, unlocking the life span inheritance feature.]

[Life Span Inheritance: You can freely choose to consume a certain number of life spans to conduct life span inheritance. You will enter the vanished Enlightenment Seeker Dojo to listen to their teachings. The grade of the dojo corresponds to the life span you consume, with a minimum consumption of one hundred billion years per session.]

Huh?

Not an upgrade to the previous life span feature?

Looking at the one hundred billion years’ consumption bottom line, Gu An felt it was a trap.

There once was a time when a hundred billion years was a life span number he could only aspire to.

No, can’t use it recklessly!

Gu An thought silently.

He had already unlocked Life Span Detection, Life Span Barrier, Life Span Deduction, Life Expectancy Prediction, Life Span Fusion, Life Span Reincarnation, Life Span Simulation, Life Span Dojo, Life Span Breakthrough, Life Span Projection, and Life Span Inheritance.

Many of these features he rarely used, but he would never consider them too few.

Some things can go unused but cannot be absent.

Gu An moved along the small river at the foot of the mountain, his gaze shifting towards the Three Thousand Great Worlds.

Wushi Divine Sparrow flew over one Great Thousand World after another, attracting the pursuit of Great Immortal Divine Yuan’s minions, while Immortal Gods were ceaselessly obliterated and resurrected, continuously returning to battle. Meanwhile, the Mo Luo Clan was frightened, and the number of those going to support dwindled. Various sects of the Great Thousand Worlds dared not rashly participate, and Gu An did not make things difficult for them because they had no choice.

Exhausting and eradicating all evil demons and Immortal Gods, each Great Thousand World would naturally return to peace. After the calamity, each world’s sects would need to govern and restore the heavens and earth.

Arriving at a valley, Gu An saw An Zizai teaching a disciple a lesson. The disciple was a young man, kneeling before An Zizai.

Facing the stern An Zizai, the disciple wore a defiant expression, meeting his gaze without fear.

Gu An became intrigued; An Zizai’s prestige within the Wushi far exceeded An Xin’s. With An Zizai not present, the disciples feared him most. Yet there was a disciple daring to be stubborn with An Zizai?
