Chapter 1356: Confronting The Primordium, Half-Real Spacetime (2)
Wu Yuan calmly surveyed the gathering, though inwardly he sighed. Throughout these past two trillion years, beyond secluded cultivation, plans to deal with the Immortal Court, and leadership of the Eldritch Court, his qi refiner self had devoted immense effort to helping these friends and family ascend to eternity.
Yet he had to acknowledge a fundamental truth: differences existed between individuals. True monstrous prodigies couldn't be manufactured simply by providing abundant resources.
Take Overlord Qian Yang, Overlord Fu Ben, and the other four. Though Wu Yuan hadn't passed his Great Dao imprint to them, they had all created eternal ultimate techniques under his guidance. Overlord Fu Ben had even crafted three sets of eternal ultimate techniques. In terms of Dao cultivation alone, he rivaled the limit of the Perennial level.
Meanwhile, many of Wu Yuan's friends and family had received more guidance and better resources, yet most had plateaued at third-stage Overlord, creating only limitbreak Overlord ultimate techniques. Only Overlords Lan Yan, Zhuo Haiyue, and Dong Yang had managed to create eternal ultimate techniques.
Lan Yan became an Overlord through her own power. Wu Yuan reflected. Haiyue was chosen by Saint Lei Xing while still mortal and fought her way upward. Her talent might not seem exceptional, but her willpower and temperament are truly terrifying.
Master Dong Yang possesses considerable talent and, more importantly, the courage to venture into different universes. His trials in the Long Shan Universe transformed him profoundly.
In Wu Yuan's estimation, even without his assistance, these three had the potential to reach the Overlord level. With his full support, they had flourished extraordinarily, each creating eternal ultimate techniques.
His other close friends and teachers, by comparison, remained considerably weaker.
On the path of cultivation, the further one progresses, the more it ultimately comes down to temperament and willpower. Wu Yuan thought with an inward sigh. Whether one harbors grand aspirations or selfish desires, whether one aids all living beings, follows the middle path, or indulges in bloodshed—as long as one's thoughts and actions align, with an unyielding Dao Heart that seeks the Dao, there remains hope of reaching the pinnacle.
The Primordium remained utterly impartial. No absolutely correct path or Dao Heart existed. Concepts of good and evil were merely subjective interpretations of living beings. What mattered was staying true to one's heart.
"When I speak of the cycle nearing its end, that's relative to the entire samsara cycle," Wu Yuan continued. "According to my calculations, at least a billion years remain."
With Wu Yuan's current abilities, divining the specific timing of the samsara cycle’s end was straightforward. Hearing this, everyone secretly released the breaths they’d been holding.
