This is a Dao technique that is indescribable, incomprehensible even to immortals and gods. It exceeds the realms of the many immortals and gods present, and can only be performed by surpassing those levels. But Tuo Guishen's gaze intensified as he recalled a past dynasty that amassed tens of billions of humans over sixty years to worship a divine sword, elevating it from a Nine Realms Flying Sword to a level above the Nine Realms, just below an Immortal Artifact. Afterward, that dynasty fractured, the royal family exterminated, hunted down. There were rumors that behind this fragmentation and extermination, the hand of immortals and gods was present. So now, is the Supreme Heavenly Venerate similarly using fate, employing the pinnacle of the world's power, to burn the fate of the present human world, so Zhou Bai can leave his name on the Immortal Ascension Book before reaching 100% Daohua? Is this the method to let Zhou Bai achieve demigod status as a mortal? Does this mean that afterward, the Heavenly Dao recognized Zhou Bai and Ming Yue as representatives of the new generation of humans? By burning the fate of the old generation of humans, illuminating the fate of the new generation? The immortals and gods present had thoughts somewhat similar to Tuo Guishen's. Their cultivation has not yet recovered sufficiently, not to the point of clearly perceiving fate, or even changing fate. Even if their cultivation was fully restored, they still remain far, far removed from the realm of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate. Thus, they cannot see through the Dao technique the Supreme Heavenly Venerate is now employing. But, based on what they saw and heard before them, combined with their own knowledge, and under the influence of the words of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate, they arrived at that conclusion. However, Zhou Bai does not believe the Supreme Heavenly Venerate harbors any good intentions, even though he doesn't know the exact goal of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate. But regardless, he indeed wants to see the Immortal Ascension Book, to see what is written on it, to see the names of the righteous gods, to see the name of the Supreme Heavenly God Emperor... In this regard, his objectives align with those of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate. As the Supreme Heavenly Venerate paved the path with fate, Zhou Bai suddenly felt a lot of pressure lifted from him, allowing him to move forward once again. Then he glanced down at the green fate beneath his feet, the first thought being, of course, whether he could eat this fate. 'How much green fate is there? If I could swallow all of this green fate, would I become invincible?' So Zhou Bai attempted to do so, secreting the Guihai Black Qi, stepping onto the green divine pathway with his foot smudged with black mud. Nothing happened, Zhou Bai could feel a thin yet incredibly resilient force outside the fate blocking his contact with it, preventing him from devouring this fate. "Zhou Bai, cross this path, write your name on the Immortal Ascension Book, and from this day on, you will be the ancestor of the new generation of humans." Amidst the words of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate, and under the watchful eyes of many immortals and gods, Zhou Bai stepped towards the Immortal Ascension Book. With each step he took, the fate beneath him burned intensely, the fate behind him already burnt out, dissipated into the air. Countless people who witnessed this scene recalled those previous words. 'Pave the Path to Ascension with the fate of the old generation of humans, achieving the first righteous god of the new generation of humans.' Just as Zhou Bai was moving towards the Immortal Ascension Book, the righteous gods present felt a surging impulse within them, a strong pull emanating from the Immortal Ascension Book. The righteous gods who once wrote their names on the Immortal Ascension Book realized that the book was summoning them. No words, no messages, no information came through. But deep in their hearts, they understood that the Immortal Ascension Book wanted them to stop Zhou Bai, to prevent this mortal from approaching. Such an occurrence had never happened before. Nearly every righteous god hesitated for a moment because the Supreme Heavenly Venerate was on the scene. But in the next instant, the pull from the Immortal Ascension Book grew stronger, crushing their hesitations, and all the righteous gods charged towards Zhou Bai.

He was Pojun True Lord of the Ministry of Combat. This was the righteous god who, after Zhou Bai wreaked havoc in the Artifact Refining Institute of the Ministry of Combat, went to battle Ming Yue on Wanxian Island. Because of the pull and impulse from the Immortal Ascension Book, he stepped onto the Path to Ascension without the slightest hesitation, blocking Zhou Bai's path. But upon truly reaching that position, his face showed a hint of tension. Because of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate, because of the multitude of immortals on Wanxian Island. But then, he and the other immortals and gods present discovered that aside from the already standing Pojun and Zhou Bai, no one else could step onto this Path to Ascension. The four righteous gods discovered that the Path to Ascension before them seemed to instantly transcend an infinite distance. No matter how they sprinted or advanced, they could not get any closer. For a moment, they thought it was the doing of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate. But they soon realized it was not. Because the immortals across from them couldn't ascend either. Si Yi's expression slightly shifted, and then he looked towards the direction of the Immortal Ascension Book, murmuring, "Is this... the power of the Immortal Ascension Book?" Across, Dao An Immortal Supreme struck with a palm, the force capable of overturning seas and rivers hurled towards the Path to Ascension, advancing continuously, but never reaching its goal. Dao An Immortal Supreme frowned, choosing not to continue his assault. He had faced many such situations in his long life, knowing this was not something that could be solved with brute force alone. Meanwhile, the voice of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate slowly arose. "Achieving deity status with a mortal body is an act against the heavens." "On this Path to Ascension, all gods may oppose." "If Zhou Bai is struck down, it means he is unworthy to write his name on the Immortal Ascension Book." No immortals or gods present anticipated that events would develop in this manner. On this Path to Ascension, Zhou Bai could only rely on himself. And the righteous gods who had written their names on the Immortal Ascension Book could each send one person at a time to stop Zhou Bai. Understanding this, Pojun True Lord, whose Daohua degree had recovered to 148%, breathed a sigh of relief. At 148% Daohua, he could traverse the Luotian Realm back and forth freely without opening a realm gate. For mortals, this meant they didn't even have the qualifications for a counterattack and could only be slaughtered at will. So he looked at Zhou Bai, revealing a slight smile, and his figure slowly retreated, disappearing into the air. Witnessing this scene, the faces of many immortals turned somber, as this signified that Zhou Bai could no longer attack Pojun True Lord. In the hall, in this altered space, and on the remaining over ten kilometers of the Path to Ascension, Zhou Bai would suffer endless attacks from Pojun True Lord, caught in a situation of only being able to take hits without retaliating.
