"Has the Karma Effect Completion been achieved?"

Song Lin suddenly realized that the karma of this realm had indeed been completed.

In other words, the campaign against the Shang had succeeded.

According to usual practice, he could linger for two to three hours at the shortest, or up to ten days at the longest.

Previously, Song Lin had intentionally controlled the speed at which karma completed in order to stay longer. Unexpectedly, it had now naturally reached completion.

This completely caught Song Lin off guard.

With no other choice, he had to give up the pursuit.

Emperor Yi had entered the chaotic currents of the void, his whereabouts unknown. To chase him now, it would take at least decades to find any clue.

For someone of Song Lin's cultivation, retrieving a needle from the sea posed no issue. But to retrieve a needle from the cosmos was on a completely different level.

Thinking of this, Song Lin decided to give up.

He still had many matters to arrange.

Compared to those important matters, the mere life of Emperor Yi was insignificant.

Song Lin looked at the foundation stone in his hand, which, after leaving the bronze palace, had turned into a small handful of yellow soil, no larger than a thumb.

From it, he sensed incredibly vigorous vitality, as if this small piece of yellow soil could fill the entire universe.

This was the object he had been searching for.

Breath Soil.

This was a miraculous object from Shan Hai, theoretically capable of infinite growth until it filled the entire cosmos.

It was most suitable as the foundation stone for the Heavenly Court, enabling it to float in the boundless void.

With its characteristic of infinite growth, there was no need to worry about the oddities of time in the Great Thousand World causing damage to the foundation, nor would there be concern for the survival of the people living upon it.

This was the survival method for those below the rank of Heavenly Immortal within the Middle Thousand Heavenly Court.

Once a foothold was established, the abundant essence and qi of the Great Thousand World, along with its omnipresent opportunities, would provide immense benefits to lower-tier cultivators.

For instance, harmonization with the Dao. In a Small Thousand World, a single Dao could only be fully harmonized by one person. However, the Middle Thousand Heavenly Court did not impose such limitations.

A single Dao could be cultivated by as many people as desired.

Additionally, the resources of the Middle Thousand were sufficient to support more simultaneous cultivators.

It could potentially even sustain the mythical Hundreds of Trillions of Heavenly Soldiers.

With this thought, Song Lin decided to exchange for this item.

While he was contemplating, the crowd surrounded him.

"Divine Lord, what is this…"

Seeing Song Lin's sinister dharma body, the crowd was astonished.

Song Lin briefly explained this incarnation of himself.

"A Demon World isn't a bad idea. At the very least, it will establish order among the devils."

Hearing Song Lin's reasoning, Ji Dan praised this strategy as brilliant.

The world contained all kinds of Heavenly Courts, effectively managing the Three Realms in an orderly fashion.

However, the Outer Heaven Demons remained a major headache for many powerful factions.

These devils emerged periodically to wreak havoc, specifically sabotaging others' Taoist Realms. Hidden within the chaotic void, they were extraordinarily difficult to eliminate.

There had been attempts to assign someone to manage these devils.

Without exception, all had failed. Anyone who comprehended the Dao of the devils no longer obeyed the original Heavenly Courts.

Simply put, no one could maintain their original heart.

Rare was someone like Song Lin, perhaps unique across all realms.

He cultivated the Dao but comprehended Buddhist Law. Randeng Buddha, as an Ancient Buddha, inevitably had a withering air about him within Buddhist Law. Serendipitously, Song Lin also comprehended the Demon Path.

The union of Dao, Buddha, and Demon Path created the unparalleled being known as Wutian.

"Hou Yi, are you ready to report back?"

"Indeed, with the Small Thousand World breached, the Prohibition Technique naturally dissipates. Master, aren't you returning with us?"

"I will not return. Relay this message to the Queen Mother of the West: we shall meet again in the future."

"Understood."

Hou Yi did not ask further questions.

"And what of us?"

"The Emperor Yi World cannot be used in the short term, and the West Zhou World is half-dead. Relocate to this Witch God World and guard it. There's no need to follow me."

As for Hou Yi's original Small Thousand World, it belonged to them and should not be taken as their foundation.

At this moment, a radiant white light began to emanate from Song Lin's form. He knew his departure was imminent.

Hence, he split the Breath Soil in half.

One half he handed to the West Zhou Heavenly Court guarding this place.

"In the future, the Heavenly Court will face a great calamity. Preserve your lives until you can be of use. Wait for my return before acting."

Although the crowd didn't fully understand Song Lin's intent, seeing his solemnity, they deeply imprinted his words in their minds.

"Very well. I must go now. Do not forget."

Song Lin's form gradually faded.

Even as he vanished, he continued to leave his instructions.

He did not know if this would be of any use, considering the immense time gap. In later generations, no legend regarding the Qi Mountain Heavenly Court had ever been heard.

Even the Witch God Heavenly Court, which he had already defeated, had left behind a legacy. The future seemed less than optimistic.

As the radiance dissipated, Song Lin disappeared completely.

This departure did not mark a spatial distance but a temporal one, spanning tens of thousands of years into the future.

For some, this parting might mean never meeting again in this lifetime.

Song Lin knew that the worlds he journeyed through were all real.

The greatest distance in the world was not between life and death. At certain cultivation realms, life and death could be reversed, but temporal distance was almost impossible to overcome.

Soon, Song Lin returned to the Real World.

In the backyard of the Palace of the Polestar.

Song Lin accessed the information panel and reviewed his gains from this trip.

This instance had the longest time span.

Two hundred years in the Real World, but six thousand years in the story world.

It had shown him the brutal reality of cosmic warfare.

However, the rewards were immense.

Not only had he acquired knowledge from the Yinn Shang Heavenly Court, but he had also obtained the treasure known as Breath Soil.

"Redeem Breath Soil."

Song Lin silently recited in his mind.

Shortly after, a small piece of yellow soil appeared in his hand.

This was Breath Soil in its dormant state.

Once activated, this item would rapidly grow, doubling daily, and in no time would fill the entire universe.

Though not a particularly powerful item, it required significant effort to manage.

In the Great Thousand World, however, this treasure was perfect for establishing a Middle Thousand Heavenly Court.

With this thought, Song Lin stowed away the treasure and began contemplating his next steps.

He had already become a Heavenly Immortal. The next stage was True Immortal.

Achieving True Immortal required evolving a True Realm within oneself. The moment a True Realm was created was the moment of transcending into True Immortal.

These True Realms weren't necessarily habitable Small Thousand Worlds.

They were worlds created by harnessing a perfected Great Dao, such as the Heavenly Water Dao manifesting the Heavenly Water World.

The Great Dao self-formed into a realm, serving as an infinite reservoir of power.

From a certain perspective, a True Realm might even resemble an oversized Golden Core.

Song Lin did not intend to immediately start evolving his world.

At high realms, even the slightest misstep would amplify exponentially.

Song Lin planned to condense nine Tao Golden Pills first.

When nine pills merged into one to evolve a world, the resulting True Immortal Realm would be the strongest.

Of course, the difficulty was equally staggering.

But he was willing to attempt it, given that he already possessed two Tao Golden Pills.

As for the Real World, he planned to lead the entire Heavenly Court into the Middle Thousand, and then explore whether it might be possible to establish contact with people from the story world or the Sanmao Heavenly Court.

Having set his goals, Song Lin summoned representatives from the seven realms—demon, immortal, human, ghost, Buddha, gods, and devils.

They prepared to face the impending Upper Pure Demon Tribulation.
