Chapter 914: Ten-Star Draw: The Marvelous Method of Compiling Mythology (5/5, Request Subscription)

Dawa found a mountain range and casually tossed the Ascension Pool into it.

Instantly, the Ascension Pool, no larger than an inkstone, expanded into a water pool one li long and one li wide, where immortal light flowed and powers and laws manifested.

One li in length and width, it seemed too small to accommodate ascenders from countless worlds.

But in truth, it would not be.

Zhang Taixuan had anticipated many scenarios during its crafting—the Ascension Pool was internally divided into countless spaces, so even if billions of ascenders rose simultaneously, there would be no crowding—

each ascender would occupy a separate layer of space; they would only meet after exiting the Ascension Pool and stepping into the Earth Immortal Realm.

"The Ascension Pool crafted by the Master is truly wondrous," Dawa said, gazing at the pool with sincere admiration.

Qiwa pointed at the Ascension Pool and chuckled, "So, Brother, would you like to enter and gain another law?"

"I'm not that bored!" Dawa shook his head, utterly unimpressed. "As primordial spiritual roots, we were born with laws inherently attuned to us—why would we need to seek more?"

Erwa nodded: "Indeed. We already spend untold time contemplating our own laws; gaining another would offer no real boost to our strength."

"Correct," Dawa said. "Go cultivate. I'll guard it for the first five years; after that, we'll take turns—five years per rotation."

"Then, Brother, you've got the hard part."

All of them bowed, then found nearby spots and entered seclusion to cultivate.

Daluo Heaven.

Seeing the Ascension Pool properly arranged, Zhang Taixuan waved his hand and sealed the Immortal Realm portal.

"Effective immediately, the ascension criteria for the Taixuan-affiliated worlds are revised. For the Immortal Martial Path: complete Yin-Yang Realm, eligible for ascension; for the Sea of Suffering system: complete Saint King Realm, eligible for ascension; for the Jin Dan Path: complete Sixth Turn, eligible for ascension; for the Heavenly Immortal Path: complete Human Immortal Realm, eligible for ascension; for the Soul Path: reach Ghost Immortal, eligible for ascension. Upon ascension, one may receive the blessings of the Ascension Pool."

"Those who ascended previously, if they now reach the corresponding realm, may also go to the Ascension Pool and receive the associated blessings."

"As for other worlds that have applied for ascension channels, the criteria remain unchanged—except that ascension now leads to the Lesser Immortal Realm, not the Earth Immortal Realm. Only when their realm is fully attained may they ascend to the Earth Immortal Realm."

The affiliated worlds, bathed in the spiritual energy and laws of the Taixuan Realm, now boast elevated law levels and spiritual energy density.

If ascension still followed the old standards, millions might ascend from the lower worlds each year—eventually leaving them empty.

As for other worlds merely granted ascension channels, their spiritual energy remains unchanged, so the original criteria must stand; raising them recklessly would only extinguish cultivators' hope of ascension, causing them to slack off.

Zhang Taixuan, Lord of the Taixuan Realm, his words were the cosmic law—once spoken, cultivators across all worlds instantly understood, comprehending the transformation of heaven and earth.

"Only those who complete the Yin-Yang Realm may ascend?"

"Even with today's spiritual energy levels, I won't reach ascension for five hundred years. I shouldn't have clung to worldly resources—if only I'd ascended earlier."

"The Ascension Pool? Our Ancestor has already crafted one that grants a law? Then ascending at a higher realm actually has advantages."

The change in ascension thresholds sparked uproar across all worlds.

Some supported it, some opposed, some rejoiced, some grieved.

None of it mattered.

Zhang Taixuan paid no attention, instead continuing to contemplate the Creation of the God-Slayer World.

【Based on the nature of deities, you have deciphered the method of compiling mythology.】

In the God-Slayer World, ancient times held no deities—only violent natural disasters.

Humans, fearing nature, composed myths, eventually transforming these disasters into deities and enshrining them within mythology, thereby taming heaven and earth.

Of course, some deities resisted mythic constraints, often wandering the earth—known as Unsubmissive Gods.

"This world is uniquely peculiar. Violent natural disasters willingly submit to mythic bonds and become deities. This implies ancient natural disasters possessed consciousness."

"Second, the myths humans composed benefited the natural disasters."

After all, why would disasters willingly become deities and enter mythology if there were no benefit?

"Immortality. Eternity."

Zhang Taixuan's thoughts shifted, and he immediately understood the reason.

Wind, rain, thunder, lightning, rivers, lakes—all were not eternal.

To achieve perpetual existence, entering human-composed mythology and becoming a deity was an excellent solution.

Becoming a deity brought drawbacks—loss of freedom—but also advantages—eternal indestructibility.

If one wishes to exist forever, then entering the myths compiled by humans and becoming a deity is an excellent method.

Thus, humans tamed nature.

In essence, humanity's compilation of mythology was a win-win.
