Meanwhile, Fang Jinyu wore a rather gloomy expression.

Fang Jinyu found that his initial guess about the situation had been incorrect.

Consequently, Fang Jinyu uttered no words and reversed time, stepping back into the river of time to return to the very beginning.

Yet, upon Fang Jinyu's arrival, time within the Nine Desolations had regrettably ground to a halt.

“Did I miss an opportunity?”

Fang Jinyu instantly grasped the predicament.

However, Fang Jinyu harbored no significant regrets, for he still possessed such a chance!

Thus, Fang Jinyu embarked on his journey through the river of time once more, this time arriving at the Cave Lake Realm.

Time in this realm was also frozen, but as Fang Jinyu appeared, the paused flow of time resumed its normal course.

Here, Fang Jinyu resumed his cultivation of the devil's path, proceeding with meticulous care.

Lin Xianer's narrative unfolded precisely as in the original plot, untouched by any disruption. Fang Jinyu remained completely concealed from the world. However, it was precisely this obscurity that kept "Master Xia" occupied.

Ultimately, however, Fang Jinyu met with failure. "I failed even when I attempted it."

"Even my inaction yielded no success."

Fang Jinyu continued his introspection, eventually reaching the immortal realm.

Fang Jinyu located the place of Xin Qianqian's reincarnation, as she too was accompanied by a "female lead."

However, upon his arrival, Fang Jinyu was met with a startling sight.

“Qing Fu, is this your promise?”

Gazing upon the scene ensnared by the heavenly rule of tranquility, Fang Jinyu felt an overwhelming urge to mock Qing Fu, but ultimately, he restrained himself.

“It appears this approach will not suffice.”

Fang Jinyu reached this conclusion. He opted not to dismantle the seal of the heavenly rules; while capable, the temporal stasis in the immortal realm meant Xin Qianqian would remain frozen even if freed.

Furthermore, was this not a sort of omen?

Consequently, Fang Jinyu journeyed to the periphery of the karma realm.

Yet, Fang Jinyu did not venture inside.

Fang Jinyu settled himself cross-legged in the void, his gaze fixed upon the karma realm below as he commenced a deep recollection of his past.

“I often wonder why I transmigrated.”

Fang Jinyu pondered this question. Initially convinced he was within a novel, he later began to doubt this assumption, leading to increasing confusion the more he considered it.

Previously, Fang Jinyu had sought the reason tirelessly but found no answer, attributing his failure to an insufficient cultivation base.

Yet, Fang Jinyu had never anticipated that even with his current cultivation, the answer would remain elusive!

“If my memories from before transmigration are genuine, then from where did I transmigrate?” As Fang Jinyu mulled this over, his expression shifted dramatically. “My inability to trace my origins, even after breaking through the ‘Immortal of Heaven’ stage, suggests perhaps… perhaps the transmigration I conceive of simply never occurred.”

Still, this was merely Fang Jinyu's hypothesis. Uncertain of its truth, he resolved to test it.

Fang Jinyu resolved to construct a narrative for himself!

Accordingly, Fang Jinyu drew upon his fragmented memories to fabricate elements of his supposed previous existence, such as the metal birds capable of flight, carriages propelled by four wheels without equine assistance, and the concept of outer space, among other things.

Upon completing his fabrication, Fang Jinyu flicked a finger, birthing a new world into existence.

This world teemed with countless life forms. Some individuals within it were familiar to Fang Jinyu, while others were entirely unknown.

Simultaneously, Fang Jinyu vanished.

However, Fang Jinyu had merely ceased to exist within the immortal realm's timeline; his being persisted, having ascended to an unprecedented state.

“The past is the future!”

An immensely powerful entity emerged from the future and, upon reaching Fang Jinyu, gradually faded until it merged with him. “So it is this simple to attain the level of an Immortal King!”

At this juncture, Fang Jinyu had finally achieved the aspiration that had long occupied his dreams. Yet, excitement was absent, for he represented both the genesis and the ultimate conclusion of the cultivation journey.

As the path of freedom permeated existence, it originated from the devil's path.

From that moment onward, true freedom was attained!

Fang Jinyu remained composed and detached. The aura surrounding him did not intensify into something terrifying; all appeared unchanged, yet this represented the most profound alteration.

“Indeed, there are only three stages beyond the Immortal Ascension realm. I deviated onto too many wrong paths during the first step, which is why it took me so long!” At this very moment, Fang Jinyu fully endorsed the little girl's assertion.

Following this realization, Fang Jinyu suddenly chuckled.

“So, Qing Fu is none other than the Green Supreme! Since you are already an Immortal King, there is no need for further cultivation breakthroughs. Did you perhaps pass through the door of preaching?”

Fang Jinyu spoke aloud. With this final step taken, all became crystal clear.

The protective barriers previously established by the young girl for Fang Jinyu had vanished. He now grasped the history of the immortal realm, the truths of the netherworld and the apocalypse, along with the intricate connection between the 'beyond the heavens' and the immortal realm itself.

Most crucially, however, were the fallen immortals!

Suddenly, Fang Jinyu voiced a query, "Is it correct? Daoist Brother Fallen Immortal, that would be an appropriate title for you, wouldn't it?" This time, Fang Jinyu's 'system' finally registered his words.

A stream of text boxes began to manifest.

From this precise moment, Fang Jinyu gained complete dominion over his 'system'.

Nevertheless, Fang Jinyu could only command his future 'system'. His original 'system' had discreetly departed when he fabricated his own origin story.

Had his previous 'system' tarried any longer, there was a significant likelihood it would have been unable to escape.

An Immortal King remained precisely that – an Immortal King!

"The Door of Preaching..." Fang Jinyu made no attempt to reclaim his former 'system', deeming it unnecessary. He shifted his gaze, directing it towards a particular point in space.

Where there was once nothing, his intent brought forth the belief that a Door of Preaching should exist, and so, the Door of Preaching materialized once more.

Naturally, to all beings except the Immortal Kings, even those who had reached the 'Heavenly Immortal' stage, only the faint outline of the Door of Preaching was visible.

Fang Jinyu observed the Door of Preaching, making no outward move. Yet, the Door of Preaching commenced to tremble, a reaction to Fang Jinyu's future actions of dismantling it on more than one occasion.

He was no ordinary Immortal King!

He was the 'fallen' Immortal King, supported by his 'Daoist brother', privy to all the hidden truths of the Door of Preaching!

The Door of Preaching possessed a peculiar nature: if an excessive number of Immortal Kings entered, they would become trapped within. However, this did not imply that the Door of Preaching wielded power exceeding the 'Heavenly Immortal' realm!

An Immortal King represented the culmination and the genesis of all things. How could the Door of Preaching possibly surpass them?

"Following the order of this cultivation path, the exalted Immortal King, Immortal King Supreme Cundi, and Immortal King Green Supreme have all proceeded to the Door of Preaching. In that case, I request another order for this cultivation path!"

Fang Jinyu withdrew his gaze. Had he not possessed intimate knowledge of the Door of Preaching, curiosity might have compelled him. However, thanks to his 'system', the truth was revealed, rendering him utterly disinterested.

If Fang Jinyu were like the young girl, he would have yearned to enter the Door of Preaching. Yet, should he enter, his desire would invariably be to exit!

Upon his emergence, Fang Jinyu would proactively erase all memories associated with the Door of Preaching.

This could be construed as an Immortal King seeking amusement for himself.

Should Fang Jinyu's conjecture prove incorrect, he would face a penalty, confined within for the duration of one cultivation path's order. Conversely, if his guess was accurate, he would be permitted to remain outside for the same period.

This constituted a game reserved for Immortal Kings!

However, Immortal King Fang harbored absolutely no desire to participate.

Fang Jinyu turned his attention back to the immortal realm.

As Fang Jinyu observed, his cultivation body spontaneously merged with the demonic path of the netherworld. Upon emerging once more, he had already ascended to the position of the Demon Ancestor!

Fang Jinyu willingly shouldered the burden of the demonic path with his cultivation body!

Subsequently, the dispersed remnants of the path of freedom within the immortal realm abruptly reversed course, coalescing into another 'Fang Jinyu' – his cultivation clone, now entrusted with the responsibility of overseeing the immortal realm.

Concurrently, within the realms 'beyond the heavens', the Parallel Buddha's Heaven, and even the apocalyptic domain where Fang Jinyu had sown his karma, his karmic incarnations materialized, bearing the obligations of these disparate locales!

Following this, the myriad heavens and the earth were unified as one!

For a fleeting moment, the immortal realm underwent cataclysmic transformations. However, due to the temporal stasis, not a single living being perceived the profound shifts that had occurred.
