Seeing these two system prompts, Xu Tianran found himself in deep confusion. He was naturally drawn to the Eternal Cautious Sovereign Dao, which aligned perfectly with his cautious and survival-focused nature, filled with countless life-saving abilities. However, its destructive power was relatively weaker. On the other hand, the Genesis Obliteration Dao possessed terrifying destructive capabilities—capable of erasing enemies across all timelines and dimensions—but it completely lacked defensive and life-saving abilities.

  If possible, Xu Tianran wanted to merge the laws to form two Dao Concepts. However, he knew the cruel reality of cultivation: when stepping into the Heavenly Immortal Realm, a cultivator can only form a single Dao concept as their foundation. This chosen concept would then evolve into their Origin Dao during the future breakthrough to the Primordial Immortal Realm, representing their truest existence.

  This Origin Dao would become the core of their cultivation path—the very essence that defines who they are. And when one reaches the next realm, the Origin Dao Lord, they become the pioneer and sovereign of that unique Dao. No one else can walk the same path until the pioneer dies.

  Xu Tianran was unwilling to form his foundation with only one of these Dao concepts, so he activated his system's Brainstorming and Parallel Mind Functions, asking it to simulate and suggest the most optimal way to merge both the Eternal Cautious Sovereign Dao Concept and the Genesis Obliteration Dao Concept.

  A result instantly popped up on the translucent system screen before him:

  [System Prompt] — Host can merge both Eternal Cautious Sovereign Dao Concept and Genesis Obliteration Dao Concept using Devouring Law Points.

  Law points required: 100 Billion

  Upon confirming that he could merge both Dao Concepts into one, he was delighted — but the moment he saw the required amount of law points, he felt as if his heart was stabbed infinitely by a rusted knife. But before he could even begin to sob, the system prompted again:

  Ding! The Host has met the required condition to upgrade Devouring Function into Ultimate Devourer Function.

  (Condition met — meeting Eternal Dao Lover)

  Ultimate Devourer Function:

  Host can now devour non-living things and convert them into points. Examples:

  1. Supreme pills that increase talent can be devoured into Talent Points.

  2. Herbs, pills, and spiritual stones can be devoured into Cultivation Points.

  3. Recorded intents on stone steles can be devoured into Skill Points.

  4. Law Origin Stones can be devoured into Law Points.

  Upon seeing this, Xu Tianran was overjoyed, as if he had struck the ultimate lottery. "All thanks to Qianxin Wuxin — not only did I meet the condition to upgrade the system function, but her gift of Law Origin Stones, piled up like mountains, can now be devoured into Law Points!"

  Without hesitation, Xu Tianran devoured all the Law Origin Crystals into System Law Points.

  The space ring became completely empty, and the system interface flickered before showing the new balance — a number that made Xu Tianran's jaw drop.

  Law Points: 10,000 Trillion

  He checked his remaining Cultivation Points: 36 Billion.

  With both wealth and safety in mind, Xu Tianran didn't hesitate. He directly activated his system, using both Law Points and Cultivation Points to initiate the formation of the two Dao Concepts. As the points rapidly drained, profound Dao rhythms formed around him, slithering like ancient serpents into his body. They traveled through every inch of his flesh, bones, and soul, while the chaos energy required for the fusion was directly drawn from his cultivation points.

  The first to form was the Eternal Cautious Sovereign Dao — the moment it took shape, his body became translucent, flickering between shadow and light. At times, his entire existence seemed to vanish, leaving behind only faint traces of his presence. Without any pause, the Genesis Obliteration Dao followed, its formation accompanied by wild chaos and thunder flickering all around him. Any nearby object would have been reduced to absolute nothingness if not for the system's automatic shielding.

  But Xu Tianran did not stop there. Without hesitation, he triggered the final fusion — merging the Eternal Cautious Sovereign Dao and Genesis Obliteration Dao into the singular Supreme Cautious Eternal Extinction Dao. In an instant, 100 Billion Law Points drained away, and his body and soul were simultaneously tempered by countless intertwined Dao laws. The newly formed Supreme Cautious Eternal Extinction Dao settled into his soul, embedding itself at the very center of his eyebrows — the core of his existence.

  At that very moment, Xu Tianran officially stepped into the First Heavenly Immortal Realm, his foundation solidified. His body flickered into complete invisibility, as if erased from reality itself, before reappearing a moment later — stronger than ever before.

  Suddenly, Xu Tianran sensed the arrival of a thunder tribulation — a natural response to the birth of a new, powerful Dao Concept. However, thanks to his Heavenly Concealment Function, the tribulation couldn't even lock onto his presence. Realizing this, Xu Tianran was overjoyed instead of anxious. Without hesitation, he teleported over 5000 billion kilometers away from the sect, summoning a clone to act as him in the sect. Using his Heavenly Concealment, he allowed only the thunder tribulation to sense his presence.

  A terrifying bolt descended — a strike capable of erasing anything in its path. Yet, the moment it touched Xu Tianran's body, it was absorbed instantly, like water soaking into a thirsty sponge. Not even a scratch remained.

  The tribulation, which had come merely to test the creator of this unheard-of Dao, felt humiliated. Its will flared with fury — why would someone absorb tribulation lightning instead of defending against it? Enraged, the sky roared louder, and from the stormclouds descended a Thunder Dragon, its body crackling with divine judgment. The beasts of the surrounding forests fled in terror, sensing the arrival of true calamity.

  But to Xu Tianran, this was nothing more than a light appetizer before the main course. Without effort, he absorbed the dragon-shaped lightning as well, his body perfectly unharmed.

  Seeing its strongest strike turn into nothing but free nourishment, the tribulation went into a tantrum. The sky ripped open, unleashing an endless ocean of lightning, pouring down over a 50-kilometer radius. But no matter how fierce the strikes became, they were all devoured and turned into pure strength for Xu Tianran.

  Finally, completely drained of energy, the tribulation itself seemed to huff in frustration, like an angry little sister who lost an argument. With one final stomp of defiance, it tore open a rift in the sky and ran away, vanishing into the void.

  He then teleported back to his sect, not alerting a single soul thanks to his Primordial level movement technique and System's Heavenly concealment function. Without delay, he closed his eyes and guided the thunder energy he had absorbed, using it to temper every single cell in his body and even his soul. Surprisingly, instead of pain, a comforting warmth filled him. When he finally opened his eyes, an unshakable battle spirit surged within — a craving to fight eternally against powerful foes. This heart demon — every time he gained even a little bit of power, it would show up without fail. After casually spitting on the face of his heart demon, Xu Tianran calmed himself down once more.

  Before Xu Tianran could begin his next cultivation session, the cold and mechanical voice of the system echoed once again:

  (Ding! Host has met the required power level to upgrade the Ultimate Devourer Function.)

  Xu Tianran was stunned. He had only just upgraded the devouring function to Ultimate Devourer Function before his breakthrough — and now, another upgrade?

  It felt like receiving two months' salary on a single day. Such luck… Xu Tianran couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

  "Hehehehe… the heavens really love me today."

  As Xu Tianran held his breath in anticipation, the system's cold voice continued, revealing the upgraded function:

  [System Prompt] — Ultimate Devourer Function ? Supreme Devourer Function

  Function Description:

  All points — Talent Points, Cultivation Points, Skill Points, and Law Points — have now merged into a single currency: Devoured Points.

  These Devoured Points can be freely used to enhance these four aspects: Talent, Cultivation, Skill, and Law.

  Devoured points: 9999.9 Trillion

  Xu Tianran was utterly shocked. "Wow, my system isn't like those dumb systems that endlessly throw ridiculous quests at their hosts, turning them into overworked slaves, constantly dragging them into cliché life-or-death situations."

  Instead, his Eternal System always seemed to make things easier for him — almost like it could read his desires before he even voiced them. Overwhelmed by affection for his reliable system, Xu Tianran couldn't help but lean forward and plant a kiss on the translucent screen.

  The system interface flickered slightly in response, as if shyly accepting the gesture.

  Meanwhile, deep within the sect's core region, Qianxin Wuxin's face flushed bright red, as red as a ripe tomato. Her heart raced — after all, her soul essence was part of the system. She had just felt that affectionate kiss directly through the connection.
