"Is the will of the Supreme Rule Dao… not wishing for me to continue climbing the white jade stairs?"
Lin Yuan gazed deeply, looking towards the infinite dimensions.
Normally, the calamities involved in the 'Infinite Tribulations' are different for each lord.
But now, for all the Legendary Lords above the billion tribulations, the will of the Supreme Rule Dao has imposed the same calamity- to stop Lin Yuan from continuing to ascend the white jade stairs. The intention is too obvious.
And according to the meaning of the Purple Light Legendary Lord, any Legendary Lord above a billion tribulations, as long as they successfully stop Lin Yuan from climbing the white jade stairs.
It would be equivalent to directly overcoming a thousand tribulations up to tens of millions of tribulations.
A Legendary Lord near three billion tribulations, successfully stopping Lin Yuan, would be akin to overcoming subsequent thousand tribulations.
While a Legendary Lord just above a billion tribulations, successfully stopping Lin Yuan, would be equivalent to overcoming subsequent tens of millions of tribulations.
One must understand, in the 'Infinite Tribulations', the calamities are linked to strength, and the more tribulations one overcomes, the more they are rewarded by the infinite dimensions with a boost in strength.
The key is, even if they fail to stop Lin Yuan and fail the tribulation, they won't be erased by the will of the Supreme Rule Dao.
To be honest, if the target of this calamity weren't himself, Lin Yuan might have been a bit tempted.
"Galaxy, you must be careful."
The Purple Light Legendary Lord transmitted its thoughts.
It had little interest in the calamity imposed by the Supreme Rule Dao.
Firstly, the calamity to stop the Galaxy from ascending the white jade stairs has a threshold for Legendary Lords above a billion tribulations. The Purple Light Legendary Lord hasn't reached this threshold yet, and it got this information from other Legendary Lords of a billion tribulations.
Secondly, on the path of transcending 'Infinite Tribulations', any required tribulation is extremely 'fair!
Simply put, there's no such thing as easily overcoming a tribulation for a Legendary Lord undergoing tribulation.
Want to gain benefits from the infinite dimensions? To advance further in strength, it's not that easy.
And this time, the will of the Supreme Rule Dao imposes the same tribulation on all Legendary Lords above the billion tribulations for a thousand or even ten thousand fold reward.
Even failure incurs no punishment.
How could it possibly be as simple as it seems on the surface?
This kind of 'favor' from the Supreme Rule Dao indicates that the difficulty of the tribulation is beyond all Legendary Lords' imagination. Not to mention, the Purple Light Legendary Lord hasn't reached this threshold yet; even if it did, it probably wouldn't consider it, let alone its acquaintance with Lin Yuan.
"Don't worry."
Lin Yuan wasn't much concerned.
Prevent him from continuing up the white jade stairs?
How to prevent it?
His current altitude on the white jade stairs far surpasses all the Legendary Lords.
Moreover, with the white jade stairs broken in the middle, whether those Legendary Lords can even stay on the stairs is another matter.
Even if the Supreme Rule Dao engages in some unbelievable means, moving all Legendary Lords to his front.
With Lin Yuan's current strength, Lords like Haotian and Fantian, at three billion tribulations, wouldn't last a moment before him.
All the Legendary Lords of this era with billion tribulations joined together, Lin Yuan was confident he could easily shatter them.
After creating a complete "Innate Five Great", Lin Yuan's strength thoroughly surpassed Lords like Haotian and Fantian.
Now he has further evolved three more Chaotic Origin Dao based on the "Innate Five Great".
"The will of the Supreme Rule Dao…"
Lin Yuan, though not worried, wouldn't underestimate it.
For the Supreme Rule Dao to dare impose the calamity to stop his ascent of the white jade stairs, it must mean there's some hope.
"Stopping the Galaxy Lord from climbing the white jade stairs? What a joke! Has the Supreme Rule Dao gone mad?"
Lords like Haotian and Fantian, at three billion tribulations, shook their heads immediately after the initial shock.
Perhaps Legendary Lords at a billion or two billion tribulations might be tempted by the calamity imposed by the will of the Supreme Rule Dao.
But they are different; as the first Legendary Lords to step on the unified white jade stairs, Lords like Haotian know too well the terror of the Galaxy Lord.
The stronger the power, the higher the realm, the longer one climbs the post-unified white jade stairs.
The more they feel the terror of the Galaxy Lord's power, likely ranking in the top five or even top three among all Legendary Lords since the inception of infinite dimensions.
Moreover, how are they supposed to stop him now? The Galaxy Lord stands towering, on an unknowably high step of the white jade stairs.
They can't even get close.
As for dealing with the Galaxy Lord's other incarnations or authentic forms? It doesn't carry much significance; beings at this level can easily hide in some time-space that they can never find in a lifetime.
"Don't rush."
The Wise One suddenly spoke: "For the Supreme Rule Dao to dare impose such a calamity implies the possibility of completion, and if not, what does it matter? There won't be any erasure from the Supreme Rule Dao."
"Right."
"Just wait and see."
Lords like Wan Xiang and Nine Dragons nodded successively.
They are temporarily adopting a wait-and-see attitude towards the calamity imposed by the will of the Supreme Rule Dao.
If there are no other variables or support afterward, they would just give up, as at least Lords like Haotian, Fantian, and the Wise One see no hope in successfully obstructing the Galaxy.
Conversely, they'll attempt the tribulation; after all, even if they fail in the end, they won't face erasure from the will of the Supreme Rule Dao.
"Have you noticed, the deepest part of space-time is vibrating."
At this moment, Fantian Lord spoke, carefully observing the vibration of space-time, discovering that this vibration originated from the ancient past and the distant future.
At this moment.
Under the permeation of the Supreme Rule Dao's will, the past, present, and future were all affected.
Past space-time. This was shortly after the endless dimensional planes were
established, with chaotic origin daos crossing each other, numerous powerful time beings, and terrifying time lords exploring paths of transcendence.
"Supreme Rule Dao's will…"
A colossus suddenly opened its eyes, its body equivalent to tens of thousands of top-dimensional spaces, even while asleep, its aura influenced vast dimensional gaps, causing time beings to merely comprehend its scattered aura and touch the Third Realm lord level.
"Actually directing me to a certain future space-time, to prevent the 'Galaxy' from climbing a new path of transcendence? If successful, it equates to passing ten trials? Wouldn't that mean directly completing the 'Infinite Origin' path?"
The colossus had an amused smile on its face, "Interesting, interesting, are there many new paths of transcendence in the future? Birth of paths paralleled to the 'Endless Tribulations"?"
For beings like the colossus, it could easily see that most paths of transcendence ultimately failed to transcend, the most hopeful one being the 'Endless Tribulations, as this path of transcendence originated from the Supreme Rule Dao.
If one truly reached the end, the possibility of transcendence was still significant.
The colossus itself had already overcome three billion two hundred ninety million trials in the final stage, only ten trials away from completely finishing.
However, as it approached the end, the colossus became more cautious, not daring to take trials lightly, yet now the Supreme Rule Dao's will actively descended tribulations, and even if it failed, it wouldn't erase.
The colossus naturally had interest.
"Very well."
"Let's take a look."
The colossus decided in its heart, first to see if it could successfully pass this trial, and secondly to observe what kind of lifeform the 'Galaxy' was, which incited such actions from the Supreme Rule Dao's will.
Buzz- Just before the colossus decided to take the trial, the Supreme Rule Dao's will power spread, guiding the colossus to a certain future space-time.
Without guidance from the Supreme Rule Dao's will, the colossus would almost never be able to find this space-time, as the future contained countless divergent branches, becoming increasingly intricate.
However, before leaving, the colossus prepared some arrangements.
After all, upon traveling to future space-time, it was unpredictable how long it would take to return.
Whoosh!

After all, upon traveling to future space-time, it was unpredictable how long it would take to return.
Whoosh!
The colossus neither affirmed nor denied.
But also said nothing more.
"Alright, then you explore first, we'll discuss when I return."
The colossus nodded, finally glancing at the many disciples, then stepped into the future space-time guided by the Supreme Rule Dao's will. After the colossus left, the disciples subsequently disappeared.
Finally, only 'Wu You' is left.
"Teacher, rest assured, I can definitely prove that the 'Perfect Time Being' is indeed a true path to transcendence."
Wu You silently pondered in his heart.
…
Another ancient space-time.
An existence filled with infinite light, influencing the dimensional spaces, opened its eyes, "Journey to the future time-space to stop 'Galaxy' from ascending the new transcendence path?"
"What kind of transcendence path actually triggers the Supreme Rule Will to descend calamity by itself?"
The infinitely luminous being thought with interest: "Even when the unbeatable 'Wu You' Lord attempted to reach the Perfect Time Being level, at the cost of his life, and evolved half a thread of transcendence power to prove the existence of the transcendence path of 'Perfect Time Being, it only caused the Supreme Rule Dao Will to tremble without specially descending calamity…
"Let's take a look."
After pondering for a while, the being filled with infinite light similarly followed the Supreme Rule Dao Will's guidance to proceed to that future time-space.
"Journey to the future time-space to stop 'Galaxy' from ascending the new transcendence path?"
Just finished a retreat, the Returning Ruins Lord's expression slightly shifted: "Success is equivalent to overcoming a thousand calamities, and failure will not result in eradication?"
"I have now surpassed three billion and one thousand calamities, another thousand calamities, wouldn't it achieve three billion and two thousand calamities?" The Returning Ruins Lord considered for a while.
He is clearly aware that the Supreme Rule Dao Will will not be so 'generous', preventing the Galaxy Lord from ascending the new transcendence path definitely won't be easy.
However, even in failure, there is no punishment; it will not be obliterated by the Supreme Rule Dao Will.
Naturally, the Returning Ruins Lord doesn't mind giving it a try.
"Let's go."
The Returning Ruins Lord immediately followed the Supreme Rule Dao Will's guidance to proceed to a certain future time-space.
Distant future time-space.
Every Legendary Lord who has overcome more than three billion calamities has also received the calamity descended by the Supreme Rule Dao Will.
"Journey to a certain past time-space to stop Galaxy's ascendancy on the new transcendence path?"
"This Galaxy, why does it sound so familiar?"
"I remember, it's that existence?"
"Not going, only a fool would go."
Compared to past time-space, every Legendary Lord of three billion calamities in future time-space evidently knows or has heard something, regardless of how great the 'benefits' given by the Supreme Rule Dao Will, they remain unmoved.
Of course, accompanying the increasingly distant future time-space, gradually there are some Legendary Lords who have never understood that some choose to accept the calamity descended by the Supreme Rule Dao Will.
Current time-space.
Lord Haotian, Fantian Lord, and other eight Legendary Lords of three billion calamities are observing the time vibration vaguely connecting past and future.
In the next moment.
Under their shocking gaze, figures exuding terrifying auras that seem to encompass endless dimensions continually appear. These figures merely standing there begin to naturally influence the surrounding time-space, as if all things in the universe revere them.
"This…this…"
Lord Haotian, Fantian Lord, and other Legendary Lords were dumbfounded, the figures stepping out of the deepest time vibration, even the weakest of them are not inferior to them. Over ninety percent of the figures emanate auras that transcend them, especially some figures among them, even a slight glance causes Lord Haotian, Fantian Lord, and other Legendary Lords to feel a bit amazed, as if they saw the endpoint of a transcendence path.
"They are… Compared to Lord Haotian and Fantian Lord, the Sage's heart has the greatest tremor.
He has experienced incomparably long epochs, and the 'Lord Wu You' pioneering the Perfect Time Being transcendence path, the figures stepping out of the deepest time vibration, many are claimed as invincible, overlooked endless dimensional dimensions.
Soon.
The deepest time vibration gradually subsided.
At this moment, from past to future, across different time-spaces, a total of five hundred and three figures quietly stood in the void, their intangible aura colliding and interweaving, chaotic a series of timelines.
These five hundred and three figures, even the weakest among them are Legendary Lords who have overcome three billion calamities. Most are three billion one thousand calamities, three billion two thousand calamities.
There are also those with more than three billion two hundred ninety-nine hundred calamities, only dozens or a few calamities away from traversing the 'Infinite Calamities' transcendence path.
