At this moment, the Lord of the Rebirth Mansion felt the treasure trembling.
Having been with it for so long, he quickly understood what it meant.
This was the Flowing Years Wheel, which had glimpsed fragments of the future and was now warning him.
Yes.
The Flowing Years Wheel could warn its master of future unfavorable situations, even those that might lead to death.
This was precisely why the Lord of the Rebirth Mansion had been able to cultivate to such a realm.
It was because the Flowing Years Wheel had alerted him to many fatal crises, allowing him to foresee danger and then evade it.
Therefore, the Lord of the Rebirth Mansion had repeatedly escaped misfortune.
And now, the Lord of the Rebirth Mansion had once again been warned by the Flowing Years Wheel.
The Lord of the Rebirth Mansion had long followed the instructions of the Flowing Years Wheel many times, and in reality, doing so had proven to be most beneficial to him.
He naturally trusted the Flowing Years Wheel, just as he had in the past.
However…
"What kind of disaster will it be?"
The Lord of the Rebirth Mansion frowned.
He was already at the peak of this world, an old monster in the Ascension realm. How could he encounter a fatal danger?
Was it an attack by the other old monsters in the Ascension realm of the Nine Provinces World?
No… that was impossible.
Setting aside the fact that these old monsters in the Ascension realm would not attack him without reason, even if they did, and it was completely unexpected… there were only a few old monsters in the Ascension realm in this world, and they could not possibly kill him.
Then…
Since the cause was not within this world, was it from outside this world?
The Lord of the Rebirth Mansion knew that besides the True Immortal Realm, where one could ascend, there were other worlds.
The so-called mortal realm did not refer solely to the Nine Provinces World. The Lord of the Rebirth Mansion had long known that there theoretically existed "multiple mortal realms."
In fact, the Lord of the Rebirth Mansion had also interacted with a cultivator of the Nascent Soul stage from another mortal realm.
This world only had a few experts in the Ascension realm, but that did not mean other mortal realms also only had a few experts in the Ascension realm.
If there were more than ten experts in the Ascension realm…
"I still need to see what the Flowing Years Wheel's warning is about."
The Lord of the Rebirth Mansion stopped guessing and poured his divine sense into the Flowing Years Wheel.
The Flowing Years Wheel displayed a scene that made him break out in a cold sweat.
In the vast, boundless void, a world existed. It emanated a familiar aura, and it was this familiar aura that allowed the Lord of the Rebirth Mansion to clearly perceive that it was the Nine Provinces World.
It was the Nine Provinces World he lived in.
And outside the Nine Provinces World, a finger suddenly appeared.
This finger radiated boundless, immense energy. The Lord of the Rebirth Mansion's cultivation and magic power in the Ascension realm were nothing before this finger.
Let alone a trillionth, even a hundred trillionth was far from comparable!
That was immortal power.
Not the semi-immortal, semi-magical power of the Ascension realm, but true immortal power.
The owner of this finger was a true immortal!
Moreover, it was likely a high-ranking immortal in the True Immortal Realm.
What business would an immortal of this caliber have?
With this thought in mind, the Lord of the Rebirth Mansion soon saw.
The finger reached towards the Nine Provinces World.
It was like the vast sun emitting some energy, passing through a bubble.
This bubble immediately extinguished.
The bubble was destroyed.
And then, the Nine Provinces World was destroyed.
It was annihilated under this finger.
The finger retreated.
The void returned to calm.
However, the Nine Provinces World that had been in the void had vanished forever.
The Flowing Years Wheel transmitted this scene.
After receiving the information transmitted, the Lord of the Rebirth Mansion was completely stunned.
"The Nine Provinces World was destroyed just like that?"
"This crisis is not from the Nine Provinces World, but from outside the heavens?"
"An immortal from outside the heavens, an immortal from beyond the world, destroyed the world with a single finger."
"This…"
The Lord of the Rebirth Mansion was truly breaking out in a cold sweat.
He had predicted that his life-or-death crisis was not brought about by his homeland but by another world.
But he had not expected that this was not just his own life-or-death crisis, but the life-or-death crisis of all cultivators and all mortals in the entire Nine Provinces World!
Not only would he die, but everyone would die!
This immortal intended to slaughter the entire world…
What could have angered this immortal so much?
"I never expected this to be the calamity of an immortal destroying a world…"
"This must be a high-ranking immortal even in the True Immortal Realm to possess such power…"
"What should I do?"
The Lord of the Rebirth Mansion was now at a loss.
He stayed in the lower realm, not ascending, precisely to avoid ascending to the True Immortal Realm where he would have a low status and suffer calamities.
He never expected that even without ascending to the True Immortal Realm, he would still suffer calamities from the True Immortal Realm!
How speechless!
If he had known, he might as well have ascended directly when he reached the Ascension realm.
He would not have suffered such a calamity!
"The power of that immortal is irresistible."
The Lord of the Rebirth Mansion quickly made a judgment.
Having experienced the scene of an immortal destroying a world, the Lord of the Rebirth Mansion never had the intention of gathering a group of Ascension realm cultivators from the mortal realm, along with the entire mortal realm, to fight against an immortal.
Perhaps, with the combined strength of the entire mortal realm, the great world of the Nine Provinces, and the accumulated resources of the Three Religions and Five Sects, and the far northern outer seas for a million years, forming a grand formation and mobilizing the power of the entire realm, they might be able to deal with an immortal who had just ascended.
But that was only for dealing with an immortal who had just transformed their immortal body.
To fight against a high-level immortal was undoubtedly impossible.
The so-called preservation of life had only two methods.
If you can win, then fight.
If you cannot win, then flee and avoid battle.
This was a principle among mortals, but it was the same for cultivators, and even for immortals.
This immortal descended, and resistance was impossible. Fighting was utterly impossible.
Then there was only one path left: escape.
Since the scope of destruction by the immortal was not limited to a single person, nor confined to a single province, but an entire world.
If this were the case in the Nine Provinces World, for an ordinary cultivator of the Nascent Soul stage, escaping would be useless.
Because no matter where a cultivator of the Nascent Soul stage fled, they could not escape beyond this world.
However, this was not the case for the Lord of the Rebirth Mansion, an old monster in the Ascension realm.
The biggest difference between the Nascent Soul stage and the Ascension realm was that cultivators in the Ascension realm could already ascend to the upper realm, but they chose to remain in the mortal realm for their own reasons.
And this was the basis for the Lord of the Rebirth Mansion's escape.
Since the Nine Provinces World was no longer safe, ascending to the True Immortal Realm became the only option.
He never expected that to avoid a life-or-death crisis, he would have to ascend to the True Immortal Realm instead of staying in the mortal realm.
The Lord of the Rebirth Mansion shook his head and began his ascension journey.
He also considered the possibility that the immortal outside might see him ascending and directly kill him.
But there was nothing he could do about it.
At the very least, with the Nine Provinces World destined for destruction, his active ascension offered a glimmer of hope.
