Song Cheng gazed at the city connected by that tendril-like crimson Qi and the glaring "Endless Hell 2.0," his expression growing solemn.

"What has Brother Song discovered?" Zhang Daolu noticed Song Cheng’s unease.

Pointing in the direction of the "computer office," Song Cheng asked, "Does Mr. Zhang see it?"

Zhang Daolu concentrated and looked over, and upon seeing it, he too was stunned, his long beard quivering. After a long while, he murmured, "I hadn’t expected... it to actually be real."

"What?"

"Brother Song may not be aware, but I saw some ancient texts in my master’s Scripture Room when I was young. The content of those texts was full of unfounded and wonderful thoughts.

Among them, one record was quite exaggerated, claiming that this void encompassed Nine Yin and Nine Yang.

One Yin and Yang cover one world.

Each world is distinct from the others, whether in local customs, human feelings, or methods of cultivation...

For example, our world practices the cultivation of True Spirits, while others are completely different.

If we were to travel to another land of Yin and Yang, our abilities might be greatly weakened, only slightly better than that of ordinary people."

"I’ve heard of this notion when I was in the mortal realm."

Song Cheng recalled information he once obtained from his elder sister-in-law in the past, though she didn’t know the details but only knew of the legends of Nine Yin and Nine Yang in the heavens...

"Yes, this notion has been widely circulated. Yet, no one has ever seen the Double Sun in the Sky, nor the Double Moon in the Sky. So that’s how it is... So that’s how it is..." Zhang Daolu lamented, staring intently towards the direction of that "Urban World," and solemnly said, "It appears that our human race is not alone. However, the Red Pagoda is terrifying indeed, able to interconnect other worlds.

Could it be that the Red Pagoda has already invaded the other nine realms?"

Song Cheng did not answer, instead observing carefully.

Indeed, aside from the "Dynasty" and the "Urban" world, he also saw an "Imperial Sword Immortal Mountain" brimming with immortal Qi, which was completely different from this world and the city.

Further off, there were other worlds, entirely different.

Deeper in, one could vaguely see some worlds that seemed to have been entirely engulfed by the red light.

"Nine Yin and Nine Yang, truly nine distinct worlds...

Moreover, the Red Pagoda might have already conquered one of the worlds."

Song Cheng sighed softly.

Of course, having seen the level of the Red Pagoda, he was not planning to venture into it rashly.

Following that red line might possibly allow him to return to the world he had traveled from, but more likely, he would encounter unimaginable dangers.

"Mr. Zhang, we should seal this place and have it closely guarded."

"Indeed, we should." Zhang Daolu nodded in agreement and murmured to himself, "Thankfully, I did not enter this place back then, otherwise... it would have been a death-seeking move."

Song Cheng also expressed his agreement.

Zhang Daolu then asked, "What does Brother Song intend to do?"

"I will go to the Yin-Yang Illusion Realm and take a look."

"That’s also good. I will stay and guard this place to prevent any unforeseen events."

"Much appreciated, Mr. Zhang."

"Why mention it?

It’s just a person at the end of their path guarding the home, while the future... I can only entrust it to Brother Song.

This journey is long, and Brother Song may likely have to embark on it alone."

Zhang Daolu slowly shook his head, his expression complex, as the path of this world was ultimately narrow enough to ascend to the heavens, so narrow that only one person could pass through.

But how heavy might the burden be for the one who does?

Soon after, the two watched the deep pool for a while and discussed the way of cultivation for a long time. Only after the arrival of the Master of Mountains and Rivers, who was to take over the duty of guarding, did Song Cheng leave.

...

Longevity Manor was uprooted, which greatly reduced the swirling red smoke.

The chaos in the mortal realm also eased slightly, but warfare continued unabated, because there were still many people like Shi Feng who survived, like seashells on the seashore, arriving with the tide, endless and unkillable.

Song Cheng descended into the black waters and white skies of the Yin-Yang Illusion Realm, parting light and shadow, gazing at the White Tower above, then seeking the black sea, and finally setting eyes on the cold Nether Pagoda.

He stared at the Nether Pagoda.

With a thought, he silently engaged in Visualization.

Another Nether Pagoda emerged in his mind.

The two seemingly identical Nether Pagodas suddenly became misty, turning into layers of dazzling, blurry light and shadow, rapidly flickering before Song Cheng’s eyes.

Song Cheng instinctively rubbed his eyes, only to see that both Nether Pagodas were still there.

"What’s going on?"

No one answered.

"Should I enter?"

Still, no one answered.

This path had become lonely and desolate, with no one to answer any of his questions.

Song Cheng looked at the Nether Pagoda and didn’t step in, although it seemed to be his only way.

However, he had a feeling that once he stepped into the Nether Pagoda, he might... end up somewhere else and never be able to return.

Therefore, he decided to return to the mortal realm to fully control the powers he could absorb, to resolve potential regrets in advance... Then, he would step into the Nether Pagoda.

With his mind made up, he returned to the mortal realm with a single thought, found himself in an unfamiliar continent, took a long blade in hand, wandered through the dust of the world, vanquished demons and errant spirits, extinguishing many "existences infected by the red Qi."

Day after day, year after year, his legend remained in every corner of the mortal realm, and since he often revealed himself in the name of "Emperor Zhenwu," the name of "Emperor Zhenwu" spread across continent after continent.

...

In the blink of an eye, a century passed.

Zhao Hua, along with many members of the Zhao Family, had returned to Song Cheng’s small world.

One day, Song Cheng arrived in front of Ice Fire Mountain, quietly observing the somewhat abnormal mountain. He then turned to Ding Yuan, who had been guarding the mountain for more than two hundred years, and asked, "What’s happening?"
