Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

“Among us, there should be individuals with foundations comparable to Xuanwu; they might simply lack his confidence or be unwilling to face the greatest risks of attempting the initial breakthrough.”

The Great Power of the Five Elements Heavenly Sect brushed past the topic and continued, “The residual effects of the Unity Realm Heavenly Tribulation will dissipate in about fifty years. At that time, conditions will be suitable for undertaking the Tribulation. Are any Fellow Daoists prepared to attempt it?”

“If so, it would be best to act quickly.”

“If we can gradually undergo the Tribulation, with three or four Harmonization Divine Monarchs among us, it may still be possible to swiftly eliminate the Eastern Devil School before the Central Array Spirit Computer ascends.”

He clearly harbored great fears toward the Eastern Devil School and its anomalous nature, particularly when compounded with the rise of the Great Sun Swordsman, unwilling to further tolerate its growth.

The historical alliance and mutual support between the two sects to endure past tribulations had long since faded into irrelevance.

“There is someone.”

“In fifty years, I shall undertake the Tribulation myself.”

The Great Power from the Heavenly Mechanism Immortal Palace replied with calm resignation.

“Excellent!”

The surrounding Great Powers of the Immortal Sect nodded in approval, showing little surprise at his declaration.

…

Thirty years later.

Yuan led billions in the Citizen Fleet back.

He had nearly combed the entire Horned Ming Realm, jumping countless times through the vast domain, scouring and searching tirelessly for a severely wounded and critical Harmonization Divine Monarch.

“You didn’t find one?”

The Divine Machine True Venerable approached, glancing at Yuan’s expression as he posed the question.

“No, he’s too adept at hiding.”

“The universe’s fortune hasn’t favored me.”

Yuan sighed deeply. “Perhaps, to the Endless Starry Sky and Cosmos, no matter the killings or atrocities committed, it’s of little consequence. After all, all living creatures are bound within cycles of life and death, repeating endlessly—the significance has long been nullified, devoid of worth.”

“Good and evil, right and wrong only hold meaning for beings like us.”

“It’s fine—returning sooner is better under the circumstances.”

The Divine Machine True Venerate replied nonchalantly, “For the next thousand years, Xuanwu won’t pose a threat to us. What truly impacts our survival lies with those seven remaining individuals and, most importantly, the ascension of the Central Array Spirit Computer.”

“Your remote handling of research projects out there has ultimately hindered efficiency.”

“Now that you’re back, the progress of digesting the Harmonization Divine Soul Structure should accelerate, which is a good thing.”

“Indeed, regarding the 7234th Harmonization Divine Soul Structure, I have an idea…”

Yuan discussed as he walked beside the Divine Machine True Venerate.

Meanwhile, throughout the entire Immortal Sect, all cultivators, including those within the Mother Star like the Canghai True Venerable, had mobilized in full force, focused entirely on the monumental task of digesting the Harmonization Divine Soul Structure. They worked tirelessly and at peak efficiency to facilitate the Central Array Spirit Computer’s ascension to the Unity Realm, aiming to achieve a level of power that could withstand the collective siege of all eight Harmonization Divine Monarchs from the Eight Great Immortal Sects.

Only then could the sect solidify its position across the Two Domains—or perhaps Three Domains—avoiding a precarious existence on the brink of annihilation.

Driven by urgency, the Immortal Sect had further decentralized its research efforts, delegating simpler data and research tasks to races and factions from numerous Minor Thousand Worlds across the Two Domains—180 worlds in total. This mobilization brought the wisdom of billions of cultivators together, redirecting their intellectual power toward the grand Harmonization project.

Two Domains—or maybe Three.

After all, even Northern Plains cultivators had joined a minuscule part of the Harmonization project, and their contributions, while small, had demonstrated efficiency far beyond those of worlds like the Magic Vine Minor Realm, advancing the process ever so slightly.

The organized wisdom of billions of cultivators across Three Domains surged forward like a torrential flood, united toward a shared purpose—a grand, ambitious goal.
