King Tang remained silent.

The Journey to the West was always an initiative for the prosperity of Buddhism.

And the prosperity of Buddhism was initially ordained by the "Cosmic Celestial Dao" for this era, as part of the great cosmic cycle of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

All "Celestial Dao wills," the Red Moon, Ancestral Witch, Magnetic Celestial Dao, would chart the course for the future reasonable development of their worlds.... while the "Great Cosmic Celestial Dao," encompassing all worlds, would plan for its own civilization's reasonable progress...

Even Saints under the Celestial Dao, the Three Pristine Ones, Nuwa, these terrifying existences, cannot act against the heavens.

Before him, the Journey to the West saga of the Mahayana Buddhism Skill, countless Saintly existences are placing their pieces on the board, each trying to carve out their share.

Thus, this situation emerged:

The Great Tang originally had Daoism as its state religion.

However, the Western Buddhism continues to expand, with Guanyin descending and during the Water and Land Dharma Assembly, making him, the Emperor Tang, recognize the Golden Cicada as a sworn brother, promoting Buddhism, and leaving him helpless.

Originally, what religious cultural system one believed in wasn't important... but now he gains nothing while all benefits are divided away, leaving him as merely a puppet.

How can a Human Emperor contend with a Saint?

Yet this Emperor Tang, hailed as the strongest emperor in the history of the dynasty, has already reached the terrifying ninth-stage realm, almost the limit of a mortal, yet he too is powerless.

"I feel that the world has changed somewhat; just now the sky suddenly shook, Wei Zheng, did you sense it?"

King Tang suddenly spoke, speaking to himself, "I feel as if another world exists... lately every night, I seem to perceive, to see a desolate domain of the Star River, the Milky Way."

"Your Majesty, your cultivation has grown, and you have seen the outer domains?"

Wei Zheng seemed surprised, and pondered, "Could it be my Primordial Chaos universe's outer domain? Could it be the world of Outer Celestial Demons? After all, ancient tales say that before Pangu created the heavens and the earth, there was once the Chaos Outer Realm World, inhabited by countless Chaos Demon Gods...."

"Perhaps it is the outer domain."

"After all, I can perceive as the emperor of the current dynasty! I command the earthly domain, inherit the fate of the Dragon Vein."

He opened his palm, slowly grasped at the void, with a hearty smile, "I can see it, even think that I might be able to break through and enter within, potentially reach that world... yet I feel some barrier."

"What barrier?"

"Seems like it's an obstruction from some world order."

He remained calm, "Though with time, I might be able to break through this boundary, arrive at that world, and see the truth of another universe."

Wei Zheng pretended to bow, yet showed curiosity, "Your Majesty, are you planning to expand territories again? Though conquering the Barbarians previously earned you the title of Celestial Khan, it drained the people and resources."

"Hahahahaha."

King Tang laughed heartily, "Conquering Outer Cosmos, perhaps in my lifetime, this could be witnessed."

"Your Majesty, be cautious; the strength of the enemy is unknown, and this is a matter that drains the people and resources," Wei Zheng said hurriedly.

Li Shimin felt somewhat irritated and changed the topic, "By the way, how is this year's imperial examination?"

"The imperial examination is already underway, recruiting talents from all sides to serve in the court." Wei Zheng replied directly, "However, some remote areas have yet to be notified, like the Quicksand River Realm area, which after undergoing great battles, has become a wasteland."

"Quicksand River Realm?"

King Tang remained calm while drinking tea in the tavern, "Never mind, these damaged lands were originally mine, small kingdom territories but have reached this state, order to grant certain privileges to various post-journey wastelands."

"Your Majesty is wise."

He spoke with Wei Zheng about this, yet secretly cursed Wei Zheng for always opposing him; he had to divert the topic to the imperial examination, or else face a day's worth of sermon.

He had a feeling.

Perhaps his opportunity lies in that mysterious outer domain...

After all, the Human Emperor, controlled by Saints, controlled by the Celestial Court, feels unwilling!

"Tonight, I shall attempt to break through that mysterious membrane, and descend upon that world," Emperor Taizong of Tang calmly thought, "It must not be discovered by Wei Zheng."

...

...

Zhu Zhengwei gazed at the Star River, witnessing the feedback from the core of the Dataized Celestial Dao.

[Four-dimensional World Version Update]

...

[Advanced Map Evolution]

...

[Level Cap Increase]

...

[Top-tier Ninth-stage Mystical Expert Emergence]

...

[Successfully generated the interstellar environment, mountains, soil, dust, ruins, streams, lifeforms, experts...]

...

Zhu Zhengwei sensed the cosmic changes, gazing at the sky, strongly feeling this.

Even though he hid his true form, he felt the changes in this universe, having thoroughly formed his own worldview, even to the extent that it was in some sense, a true Spiritual Cosmos.

"Advanced map, now open."

"Not sure what level ninth stage represents?"

"Though eighth stage is claimed to be the Divine Realm, it is merely a Little God, feeling quite ordinary... liquefying and compressing 'Qi' within to circulate, yet not achieving a new transformation!"

"However, I squat here in this Spirit Realm world, naturally undisturbed, this is my stronghold, well-prepared, awaiting the emergence of these worlds." he murmured softly.

Let the storm arrive stronger.

Anyway, I have been fully confident.

I've hidden my Ancestral Witch planet, even if faced with unknown ninth-stage existences.

Could they find me?

Impossible.

"The script for the new map is already written; the previous near-destruction by the Red Moon world was merely coincidental," he revealed a touch of tranquility, chuckling, "The miner's mining map, map expansion, emergence of high-level experts... I will develop secretly beneath it, blend within, slowly learn and transcend."

His mind was spinning with thoughts.

Suddenly witnessed an unbelievable scene.

A crash.

An old eunuch, unbelievably, stepped into the void, slowly sparkling his way, reigning above the world.

"By the decree of Emperor Tang, after this place's calamity, it is possible to revive the imperial examination; those willing may participate in local tests here."

Words concluded, creating in the void.

An antique-style hall appeared before him.

The strong in the entire Spirit Realm instantly gaped in astonishment, wondering what terrifying figure this old eunuch was, for such skills of creating in the void were beyond comprehension?

Their combat strength was decent, yet they could not discern the source of the other's power.

"This is absurd, just appeared instantly?"

Yet Zhu Zhengwei gazed at the sky, mildly surprised.

Examinations?

After the entire map evolved, indeed it became one of the territories of the Mythical Tang Dynasty, integrated as a town, as national territory.

Looks like maps in other places were also generated, able to view neighboring star world maps.

"However, the Celestial Dao of Chang'an City, wondering what is its mysterious Celestial Dao rules.... What functions does it have?" he pondered, "As one of the strongest core Celestial Dao, governing its subordinate All Heavens Worlds..."

All in all, the power of this eunuch seemed like a real-world universe type, but not quite.

Zhu Zhengwei hidden in shadow frowned, "Truthfully, I considered many openings, yet never anticipated such an ordinary peaceful one... indeed, luck is on my side, and I can take advantage of the exam to see Chang'an City."

"Start is great."

He harbored thoughts of taking the exam.

But in the next instant, Zhu Zhengwei's expression suddenly froze, revealing a touch of immense disbelief.

Bang!

A crisp sound resembling the shattering of a mirror.

He felt the universe of the Four-dimensional World seemed to be punctured by something, revealing a gaping hole!

Something escaped...

"Ah this?"

He instantly panicked, bewildered.

"What thing slipped out?"

Though I sought thrill and excitement, this was excessive.
