Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely Chapter 2049 - 1087: The Passage of Time (2)

That’s precisely why Bodhi and Yang Jian are concealing themselves within.

Tao Yu currently possesses a Dark Lord’s avatar that reigns over territory like a king in the Nine Nether, yet with just one avatar, the speed of transformation remains quite sluggish...

No sooner had the idea crossed Tao Yu’s mind than Yuan Hong of Golden Turtle Island boldly stepped into the Nine Nether.

The abrupt arrival of this intruder caused the already tumultuous and battle-filled Nine Nether to halt in astonishment.

"Yuan Hong? You once aligned with the Human Dao Dynasty, so what brings you to the Nine Nether at this moment?"

Fengdu, the comparatively most normal pseudo-Tianyi in the Nine Nether, was the first to voice his question.

Thanks to his Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill, Yuan Hong matched Yang Jian in strength. As he now entered the Nine Nether clutching the shattered Donghuang Bell, he morphed into a Nine Nether Evil Demon and acquired Nine Nether Kaji as well.

"I’ve offended plenty in the past, so I’m seeking refuge here. What, do you intend to clash with me for it?"

Gripping the Donghuang Bell, Yuan Hong’s tone boomed with overwhelming dominance.

His Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill granted him a perpetual home-field edge, rendering him unafraid of any confrontation in his domain!

"Ridiculous! You’re no native Nine Nether being, and you lack a Supreme Divine Weapon’s safeguard. Even inside the Nine Nether, how do you protect your temporal imprint from the outer realm?"

At that instant, the Black Heavenly Emperor appeared, his words dripping with malice.

Powerhouses from the Other Shore strike across every timeline!

The Dark Lord employs the Demon Emperor Claw to drag his temporal incarnations into the Nine Nether, but Yuan Hong lacks such ability!

At the very least, his fractured Donghuang Bell falls short of that feat.

"It beats dying out there helplessly. So, are you truly set on attacking me?"

A surging wave of battle lust erupted from Yuan Hong.

Suddenly, the Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerate lunged ahead silently.

Fengdu and the Black Heavenly Emperor both scowled upon witnessing this lunatic’s advance.

For level-headed figures like themselves, they preferred steering clear of Nine Chaos’s insanity.

Yet, whenever external foes appeared, Nine Chaos always charged ahead without fear. The Nine Nether simply couldn’t function without these wild daredevils.

"Stop it—the calamity’s conclusion approaches, ushering in our sacred age soon. Avoid stirring trouble now, lest the Nine Nether’s expansion draw Tianyi’s wrath against us. We must band together against the foe then."

The Dark Lord, who had been scheming to ensnare Yuan Hong, stepped forward then. A mighty swipe of the Demon Emperor Claw repelled the Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerate!

The chaotic energy from the Demon Emperor Claw sharply sapped the Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerate’s ferocity, leaving him subdued after the blow as he retreated in silence.

With merely Yuan Hong alone, they might have attempted to expel him and bar him from the spoils.

However, once the Dark Lord voiced his backing, the disunited Nine Nether demons scattered, silently permitting Yuan Hong to stay.

Relative to them, Yuan Hong’s vulnerability tied to his outer-world timeline rendered him no real threat!

...

Freshly founded, the Human Dao Dynasty dominated both heavens and earth. Fueled by Tao Yu’s personal principles and the dissemination of Meng Qi’s General Knowledge Ball, the whole realm prospered vibrantly.

Armed with ample production capacity and unmatched power for oversight and allocation, a magnificent era of abundance started to bloom.

The Power of Human Dao’s gathering surged ever more powerfully!

Post the Nine Heavens’ overhaul, Tao Yu kept the Imperial Palace in the Divine Capital instead of relocating it upward, while repurposing the Nine Heavens into rental spots for spiritual herb farms and cultivation cave abodes.

Mortals too, if they scraped together fare for the journey, could ascend to the Nine Heavens for tours and behold the Heavenly Court’s ancient majestic edifices!

‘Everyone is like a dragon, striving for self-improvement.’ This inscription adorned the South Heavenly Gate, inspiring every mortal visitor.

Diverse sects and cultivation methods underwent systematic fusion and broad promotion.

Refined cultivation arts, accessible to all, balanced and harmonious, rolled out everywhere—from village and town martial halls to elite Daoist academies in metropolises.

Major sects then scouted Daoist hall pupils suited to their styles, recruiting them for elite discipleship and rigorous drills.

Masters accepted a handful of pupils each for targeted empowerment.

Backed by the Human Dao Dynasty, the Human Emperor oversaw every minute detail, scanning all areas flawlessly.

Furthermore, Meng Qi’s General Knowledge Ball enabled knowledge to spread far and wide.

The realm truly transformed daily...

...

"The world’s transformations are indeed immense."

Meng Qi visited the Turquoise Pool to share drinks with Tao Yu. Through the years, serving as the General Knowledge Ball’s core hub, he grasped the global shifts profoundly.

"What’s wrong, got something weighing on you?"

Tao Yu glanced at Meng Qi, arching a brow involuntarily.

"Amitabha birthed Maitreya via reduction to emptiness, with Maitreya reborn as Zhao Qian. His trajectory points to the Earthly Buddha Country, clashing inevitably with you. Plus, Bodhi has meddled previously. Ties with the Buddhist Sect must be tense for you."

These years, Meng Qi had divided time between cultivation, probing secrets, and assimilating Three Pure Ones imprints.

Such sudden insights propelled his progress at breakneck speed, nearing the threshold to feel the Sea of Suffering’s tides.

Possessing the Dao Yi Seal, Meng Qi faced no barrier from the Illusory Dao Fruit. Imprint infusions bridged his accumulation voids, propelling him so fast that Tao Yu paid heed.

"You mean Gu Xiaosang?"

Tao Yu grasped it instantly from Meng Qi’s statement.

He had long pierced the Golden Emperor’s schemes, realizing she viewed Gu Xiaosang merely as a reduction-to-emptiness byproduct, staging fury over a lost Dao Mark to mislead foes.

Lately, the Golden Emperor reclaimed vast power, dispatching divine envoys after Meng Qi and Gu Xiaosang with dire ordeals and strains, compelling their rapid evolution like herding ducks up a tree.
