Left unchecked, they would eventually collide violently until merging. What he needed was to make them rotate around each other, like two spheres generating centrifugal force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But thinking was one thing; doing it was extremely difficult. His spiritual sense enveloped both World Hearts, pushing to shift their positions—as if touching two colossal mountains. Only by exerting immense control force did he barely move them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao’s gaze darkened; Yin-Yang Dao was not known only to him—other prodigies understood it too. Many could conceive of using Yin-Yang balance and Taiji duality to stabilize two World Hearts, yet even Shi Miao had never mentioned anyone succeeding. This proved how impossibly hard it was to prevent their fusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath, Li Hao unleashed all his True God Blood, simultaneously activating the Ultimate Dao Art—his foundation surged sixfold. Three thousand drops of True God Blood erupted into eighteen thousand drops, each drop radiating terrifying control force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The control force from eighteen thousand drops of True God Blood roared like a divine deity, capable of moving mountains and filling seas—instantly propelling the two World Hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where moments before they had been immovable as mountains, they now resembled two iron balls; driven by the explosive control force of eighteen thousand True God Blood drops, both World Hearts began spinning rapidly, circling each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This rotation caused Li Hao’s surrounding World Domain to boil; the void seemed torn apart, releasing terrifying pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The World Domain power is surging…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao was startled; during the process of propelling the two World Hearts, he felt the domain power had become terrifyingly potent—several times stronger than before. He hadn’t expected that preventing their fusion would unintentionally unlock a terrifying method of mobilizing domain power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, if the two World Hearts could maintain this rotation, this state of boiling domain power could be perpetual!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the courtyard, Shi Miao sensed the terrifying World Domain power suddenly radiating from Li Hao—her eyes widened. This pressure, though he had just entered Immortal King realm, already rivalled that of a Second-Stage Immortal King!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each stage leap in Immortal King realm was extraordinarily difficult—equivalent to five stages of difference in Immortal Lord realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other pavilions, Gu Mofan and others also felt Li Hao’s aura rapidly surging, their expressions growing increasingly grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This younger brother always surprised them, exceeding all expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, as the two World Hearts continued rotating and the tearing force intensified, Li Hao gradually withdrew his strength, retracting the Yin-Yang balance laws; maintaining them continuously drained his energy, and though he had the Celestial Star Veins, it was unsustainable—his spirit would eventually fatigue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the laws receded, the rapidly spinning World Hearts noticeably slowed. When their speed dropped further, they began drifting toward each other again, their motion decaying rapidly from friction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao’s expression changed slightly, but he made no move—only watched as the two World Hearts slowed until they stopped, then returned to their earlier state of approaching each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no doubt: his method had failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after using the Ultimate Dao Art and unleashing his True God Blood to set the two World Hearts spinning, once he ceased maintaining them, everything reverted to its original state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems Shi Miao was right: only one World Heart can exist. This is the order of heaven and earth—unbreakable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao thought silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He prepared to abandon it—but suddenly, a flash of light seemed to pierce his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The order of heaven and earth… was it always thus? Would it forever remain so?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought of the Seven Elders, of his Master, of other Immortal Emperors—and two words surfaced in his mind: Emperor Path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once, there was no Emperor Dao system; now, countless beings had added brick upon brick, gradually carving it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once, there was no Dao Source Immortal Seal—his Master had created it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once, there was no Ultimate Dao Art…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even other Final Stages had been shattered and opened by Immortal Emperors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, a dilemma stood before Li Hao: no one could possess two World Hearts simultaneously!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Two World Hearts…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If two can be condensed, why can’t they coexist?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao’s intention to give up vanished—instantly replaced by a fierce impulse. He had merely been experimenting, expecting failure to be bearable—but now, he felt an unyielding urge to shatter this obstacle at all costs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though his determination ignited, the two World Hearts continued drawing closer—and time gave him no chance for careful thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If these two World Hearts fused, they would surpass the Reverse-Time World Heart; later attempts to condense other World Hearts would make maintaining opposition even harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, the Reverse-Time and Formless World Hearts were evenly matched, balanced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Must not merge, must not merge… separate… forever separate…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Partition? No way to partition. Balance? Just failed…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao’s mind raced. The approaching World Hearts felt like a death knell; his urgency mounted—but his Dao heart forced him to calm down, fixing his gaze on the two World Hearts drawing ever nearer. Partition failed. Balance failed… Water benefits all things without contending!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Li Hao’s mind rang like a bell; his entire life flashed before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since beginning cultivation, he had sought only a peaceful, untroubled existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because he does not contend, none in the world can contend with him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more he resisted, the more impossible it became to stop them—after all, their fusion was the order of heaven and earth, an inviolable force!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it cannot be defied, then do not defy it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Both World Hearts must fully receive the World Domain. Then, give the entire domain to them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao’s consciousness suddenly cleared—he directed all World Domain power into the Reverse-Time World Heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The domain power collapsed inward into the Reverse-Time World Heart; meanwhile, the Formless World Heart entered a brief stillness, ceasing its rotation—without domain power to pull, it could no longer act. But in that instant of stillness, it surged toward the Reverse-Time World Heart at incredible speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the domain power collapsed into the Reverse-Time World Heart erupted like a coiling dragon, surging into the Formless World Heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Formless World Heart halted; the domain power flowed through it, then gracefully shifted back to the Reverse-Time World Heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cycling endlessly—like a looping “8,” or a Möbius strip, back and forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this cycle, both World Hearts simultaneously received the full domain power: as the domain collapsed into the Reverse-Time World Heart, it instantly transferred to the Formless World Heart, then back again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao, with formidable control, ensured seamless transitions—both World Hearts received the complete domain, with only an imperceptible time gap, negligible in effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As this cycle continued, both World Hearts gradually stabilized, no longer approaching each other. The domain power, flowing back and forth, seemed to solidify into fixed pathways, perpetually drawn between the two World Hearts—faintly forming two separate domains!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao slowly released his spiritual control, discovering this strange cycle was remarkably stable, decaying extremely slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After careful observation, he estimated that with a few days of occasional spiritual support, the cycle could remain stable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was far superior to his earlier method of constantly using True God Blood to forcefully spin them—where even a moment’s pause caused immediate collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is nearly stable!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But not yet perfect—not permanent. If it could be permanent… perhaps this is the Emperor Path!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao’s eyes gleamed, a surge of excitement rising within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply needing occasional spiritual support every few days to maintain stability—this was already extraordinary!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the future, I will condense thirteen other Heart States, embedding them into Sword Dao and Body Techniques—there will be even more World Hearts!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I can find a way for multiple World Hearts to coexist, then I will have truly opened the Emperor Path!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So this… is what it feels like to glimpse the Emperor Path…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao’s heart surged with excitement; the Emperor Path was elusive, known to all in the True Realm—let alone opening one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merely finding a single Emperor Path was incredibly difficult—but Li Hao now seemed to understand how to seek it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every obstacle in the world is a path waiting to be opened!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What once did not exist—once opened, it exists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless beings, facing such obstacles, encountering that wall of heaven and earth, naturally assume it is the boundary of the world—just as Li Hao had once assumed: since no one had ever condensed two World Hearts, it must be heaven’s order, as it should be, and nothing more than a regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“An Emperor must draw his sword and carve the path for all!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only then can he be revered as a Great Emperor!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao felt that if he found a way for multiple World Hearts to coexist, it would become his legendary achievement, benefiting all races!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was why the outer races of the True Realm held Great Emperors in such reverence—because the Emperor Paths they opened were universal, passed down through countless ages!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As my Master said, Great Emperors vary in strength—their Emperor Paths differ too. Some created rare cultivation arts, like the Five Extremes Great Emperor, who used five primordial sources to forge the terrifying Five Extremes Emperor Sword, wielding just five sources to surpass even the Nine Orders and Chaotic Laws—utterly monstrous!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But such Emperor Paths, compared to opening a Final Stage, still have a gap—after all, Final Stage power directly impacts countless beings, while Emperor Sword Arts require transmission and cultivation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao thought silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt this coexistence of World Hearts could be considered his first Emperor Path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, he had only glimpsed its prototype—only two World Hearts barely held in balance. What if he later condensed a third, a fourth? Would this cyclical method still hold? It might shatter stability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Li Hao suddenly felt a headache coming on—no wonder his senior brothers had been stuck in Pretender Emperor realm for tens of thousands of years without progress; after all, they were top prodigies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These two domains… seem to be expanding…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Li Hao sensed the previously divided domains slowly extending outward, absorbing surrounding heavenly power, growing stronger—each now equal in size to the original, doubling the total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a once-torn whole, now each part had matured into completeness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Reverse-Time… Formless…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao’s eyes gleamed—what effect would arise if both domains were activated simultaneously?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this place was unsuitable for demonstration. He retracted his aura, gradually returning to stillness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two domain powers contracted and vanished into Li Hao’s body; as he condensed the domains, his body also underwent transformation—his former Heavenly Immortal Body now seemed to have reached true perfection, every cell brimming with explosive, terrifying vitality and containing minute pockets of space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed as if it truly contained heaven and earth, its interior capable of holding an explosive amount of immortal power—dozens of times greater than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two World Core hearts rested in two separate locations within the body; though both were in the chest and abdomen, one felt as if in heaven, the other as if in earth, never entangling each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I never expected that upon breaking through, you would condense two World Cores. Clearly, in the past three hundred years, you had already accumulated sufficient foundation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Miao walked over and whispered to Li Hao, her eyes brimming with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Li Hao could answer, a figure suddenly appeared above the small courtyard—it was Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>",2300,"2026-06-20T02:15:44.384Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","d31f5eb1fc3ec69c82f10bc1d5855c6e98dc0771eb6b50b40fefb4076f200a8f","the-name-that-echoes-through-eternity-chapter-892","the-name-that-echoes-through-eternity-chapter-890",929,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-name-that-echoes-through-eternity-cover.jpg"]
