Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

"What's going on? Aren't there only three or four people in Nine States this generation qualified to challenge the top thirty spots in front of the Ten Thousand Ancient Stele? With the Heavenly Mechanism Skill as an enhancement, they should have an advantage," someone asked.

"Our four seed candidates, two ended up in the same battle realm, and the other two scattered in different ones. One encountered the joint suppression from two young Supremes of Nine States and unfortunately perished in defeat."

"Is this the choice of the Ancient Road's will? It seems to still have autonomy, by making these adjustments, it preserved half of its dignity," another faintly smiled.

Although the result differed from what was expected, there are still three seed candidates remaining, which they could accept.

Especially since it forced the Ancient Road's Heavenly Will to demonstrate so-called "autonomy," which was undoubtedly a humiliation.

"The outcome is somewhat different from what you all imagined," sighed the first woman who spoke. "In the battle realm where our two seeds fell, we lost. It is the other two battle realms that won."

"What?"

"How could this be?!"

Someone spoke in a low, authoritative voice, seemingly demanding an explanation.

"See for yourself what happened," the first woman calmly gestured.

A stream of light, like flowing water, flashed before everyone's eyes.

Watching many disciples fall like chickens and dogs before a certain young person, even these normally high and mighty figures couldn't help but shake their heads slightly.

Such a meaningless loss.

Even though in their eyes, not to mention Divine Travel, even Chains and Heart Image were merely "expendables," the disciples sent to the Ancient Road this time were different.

This venture through the Emperor Ancient Road was essentially a probing trial of [Wuwang Mountain], also an attempt.

Should it succeed, the fortunes derived there would be coveted even by them. Therefore, among the disciples sent, some were truly from "Direct Lineages," hence more precious compared to other expendables.

And what genuinely evoked a sentiment of regret in them was the death of Lord Tianyang.

Lord Tianyang was very close to entering the Invincible Domain. In any civilization or faction, he would be seen as a core disciple of inheritance.

Once he matured, not only would his combat power be far superior to his peers, but he also had a great chance of breaking through the seventh threshold in the future, becoming a leading figure.

As for Shen Mengyou?

That was [Eternal Paradise]'s affair.

In their eyes, the Wilderness Four Demons were never companions on the same path.

Compared to the entire Three Thousand Yama, they were also outsiders, visitors from beyond the realm.

There was even suspicion that the Nether Sea was brought forth by them.

Of course, the Four Demons never admitted to this and were also fearful of the Nether Sea's true nature.

Someone sighed lightly, "So it is. An Invincible from the Divine Travel Realm... This generation of Nine States should not have seen the birth of such an exceptional Martial Artist."

"I saw the Heavenly Person Dojo... displaying the Heavenly Person Dojo in the Divine Travel Realm, no wonder this individual could step into the Invincible Domain," someone murmured before questioning, "Why wasn't this individual mentioned in previous investigations? This is a grave dereliction of duty!"

Before the plan was carried out, some civilization forces from the Three Thousand Yama had already scouted and investigated Nine States. They even paid a great price to involve the Heavenly Mechanism Realm to lend a hand.

In the final compiled list, only six people were considered to have the potential to enter the top thirty of the Ten Thousand Ancient Stele.

And in the end, only three out of the six reached that domain.

Hence why they had carefully selected and sent out four seed candidates.

But unexpectedly, this generation of Nine States also birthed an Invincible!

It wasn't their problem, but a severe dereliction of duty by those responsible for the investigation!

"An Invincible not accounted for in the plan, an innocent lost to the battle," someone murmured lightly, "Postmortem arguments are pointless. Even with prior knowledge, we would not have dispatched another Invincible from the Divine Travel Realm to contend with him."

There was a brief silence among the people, who then ceased their disputes and accepted this reality.

They did not represent the entirety of the Three Thousand Yama, just attitudes from certain factions; this generation could not produce an Invincible.

Suddenly.

An elder opened his eyes, which seemed to weave countless strands of fate into profound depths before fading into nothingness.

In this void, he gradually regained clarity.

"I cannot calculate his fate, and it's very strange. It's not chaotically complex or 'ordinary clarity' concealed by others, but purely... blank?"

The full series is hosted on My Virtual Library Empire, known as MV7LEMPYR.

As he spoke, the elder's expression revealed obvious confusion.

This was an unprecedented case in his lengthy existence.

All Spirits in the world leave traces upon being born, just like they inevitably fall into the Bitter Sea.

Not to mention sentient beings, even an inanimate object should possess "marks of fate."

"Could it be that an expert in the Heavenly Mechanism domain has erased it for him?" someone asked.

After a moment of silence, the elder shook his head, "At least I am incapable of such, and I detect not the slightest trace."

The others frowned. The elder was from the Heavenly Mechanism Realm, the second figure in this generation of the Heavenly Mechanism Realm, and a key executor of this plan.

Even he claimed incapability...

Perhaps there were still many hidden experts within Three Thousand Yama who were masters of fate and cosmic rules, but none could be so powerful as to leave no trace that even he couldn't detect.

"Interesting, could it be that this generation of Nine States has spawned an anomaly?" someone whispered softly.

The expressions of the crowd stirred.

"We need a thorough investigation; we require the complete trail of this young person since birth." The elder stared at the young man within the stream of light, speaking gravely, "Even if there is indeed an anomaly, we must have it in our grasp."

"Should we report this matter to the various Saints and Ancestors?"

"There's no rush. The great figures have more important matters to attend to; the rules of the Great Universe are about to loosen, with an estimate of four years, two months, and ten days left."
