I Have A Sword-2025.11.26

All the elites from across the eras had appeared. In an instant, the Supreme Will's side utterly overwhelmed the forces of the Origin Universe.

The elites of the Origin Universe stared blankly at the vast tide of cultivators from every era gathering in the distance. Their minds went completely blank.

The dead cultivators from a long bygone era were resurrected and brought to the present era?

What kind of power was that? How were they supposed to fight?

Even the likes of Shendao Tian, San Xiang, and Dao An couldn't help but feel true despair. At their level, they understood just how terrifying the Supreme Will's display of power was. They had thought the gap between them wasn't too vast, but now, it was painfully clear: they were dead wrong.

This Supreme Will wasn't just stronger; he was on a whole different level.

Resurrecting those who had perished billions of years ago and forcefully dragging them into the present timeline were acts that crushed their hope.

Ye Guan's expression was solemn. He had always known how powerful the Supreme Will was after all. If it weren't, why would the Great Daoist Brush Master willingly submit to it? But even he hadn't expected this level of power: reviving all the fallen cultivators across entire eras, then forcibly transplanting them into this era and time...

Even those around him, like the Boundless Master, looked grave. What the Supreme Will had shown far exceeded their expectations.

All around the Ascension Battles Road, the resurrected experts of each era appeared. Upon their return to the world, the first thing they did was look toward the Supreme Will. Their faces were heavy with emotion; they never imagined they would return to the world of the living.

They quickly understood why they were here. Without hesitation, they all bowed deeply in submission.

The Chaotic Era Lord, dressed in crimson robes, looked down at his own body. He could feel it; he had truly returned to life. After a moment of silence, he turned to face the Supreme Will standing at the end of the Ascension Battles Road and bowed respectfully.

Behind him, all the Chaos Era elites followed suit.

In the past, they too had burned with passion and tried to resist the Supreme Will. But history had proven: before him, they were nothing but ants. Upon being given another chance at life, they naturally cherished it.

The Chaos Era had submitted.

All eyes turned toward the Hundred Races Ruler. He stood tall, emanating an overwhelming aura. Even the strongest experts nearby felt immense pressure.

He was, without a doubt, one of the most powerful figures of the prior eras.

The resurrected cultivators of the Hundred Races behind him looked tense. Though conflicted, they understood: reason told them to submit. They no longer had the courage to fight the Supreme Will again. History had proven they weren't its match.

They also deeply respected their Hundred Races Ruler. They knew his pride; he would probably not submit, and they didn't want to oppose him...

As he remained silent, some of his closest followers grew even more nervous. They began to draw closer, their loyalty unwavering. No matter what choice he made, they would follow even if it meant death.

The Hundred Races Ruler seemed dazed, uncertain how he had returned to the world. After checking his body, he confirmed—he had truly been resurrected.

How was this even possible?

He looked up at the Supreme Will at the end of the Ascension Battles Road. He had encountered this being once before. Compared to that time, the Supreme Will's power had grown immensely.

He then turned to gaze at his people; he could see it in their eyes: they wanted to live.

Back then, they had charged to their deaths like moths to a flame. Now that they had a second chance, they desperately wanted to survive.

No one wanted to die.

After a long silence, the Hundred Races Ruler turned back to the Supreme Will and said, "The Hundred Races submit."

At his words, tears welled in the eyes of his people. They all bowed to the Supreme Will.

Like the Chaos Era, they no longer had the courage to fight.

Because this was a battle that could not be won.

At this point, all the resurrected cultivators of every era had submitted to the Supreme Will.

The Supreme Will's side now had over seven hundred peak Circle Breaker cultivators, and they weren't average ones, but the absolute elites from all past eras.

In contrast, the Origin Universe had fewer than fifty Peak Circle Breakers, not counting the Ye Clan and the Yang Family, whose members weren't following the conventional realms.

The difference in strength was overwhelming.

Among Ye Guan's group, the Ye Clan and the Yang Family were calm. After all, they had faced Plain-Skirt Destiny herself before; they could basically claim that they had seen everything there was to see out there.

Among the rest, the Divine Dao Civilization, Gate of Bitterness, Nothingness Sect, and many others, true despair had taken hold. There was no winning this; there wasn't even a sliver of hope.

And after despair came... submission.

Yes.

More and more civilizations and experts began to consider surrender.

If one couldn't beat them, one ought to join them.

Soon, the Nan Clan leader of the Super Divine Civilization, Nan Lin, jogged forward, knelt before the Ascension Battles Road, and said with a trembling voice, "The Nan Clan is willing to submit..."

Behind him, his clan followed suit and knelt.

However, a certain someone had refrained from following them. He was none other than Nan Zhao, and he once clashed with Ye Guan in the Forbidden Divine Tomb. He stood coldly by Ye Guan's side, refusing to join the Nan Clan.

He didn't need to think about it. He simply refused to be with them again. He could never forget how decisively they had abandoned him.

Soon afterward, more voices rang out...

"The Northern Clan submits..."

"The Zhou Clan submits..."

"The Nine Desolates Civilization submits..."

"The Celestial Civilization submits..."

"The Li Clan submits..."

One after another, civilizations raced to surrender.

After witnessing the terrifying power of the Supreme Will, they no longer had the courage to fight.

If not now, then when?

Soon, nearly every Super Divine Civilization and Divine Spirit Civilization of the Origin Universe had knelt in submission...

Only a few held out:

The Divine Dao Civilization. Gate of Bitterness. Nothingness Sect, the Tuogu Clan, the Xiao Clan. The Stellar Civilization...

However, they were torn as well. Reason and reality told them there was no hope.

The Supreme Will was too strong.

And with the Chaos and Hundred Races Eras added in, how could the Origin Universe possibly resist?

It was hopeless.

Resistance was meaningless.

Xiao Long, the Clan Leader of the Xiao Clan, looked at Xiao Yuanqi.

Xiao Yuanqi's face was pale, and his fists were clenched as he stared at Ye Guan.

Xiao Long asked via voice transmission, "Do you trust your brother?"

Xiao Yuanqi turned to him.

Xiao Long said, "If you trust him, nod, and I'll let you follow him."

Xiao Yuanqi instantly understood what was going on.

The clan leader was placing bets on both sides—-he would lead the clan to submit, while Xiao Yuanqi would choose to follow Ye Guan.

Xiao Long added, "If you don't trust him, come with me."

After a moment's silence, Xiao Yuanqi said, "I choose my brother."

Xiao Long gave him a look, then turned and walked toward the Ascension Battles Road. "The Xiao Clan submits."

Behind him, the Xiao Clan's elites followed and knelt.

Xiao Yuanqi walked to Ye Guan's side without saying a word.

The Tuogu Clan's clan leader, Tuogu Lin, was also struggling. When he looked at his clansmen, he saw the same desperate desire to live. Tuogu Lin sighed and slowly walked toward the Ascension Battles Road. His people rushed to follow, some even dropping to their knees before reaching it.

Tuogu Yuan, meanwhile, joined Ye Guan's side silently.

The Stellar Civilization's leader said nothing, while the elders behind him were visibly torn.

Just then, Mu Xingchen raised his longbow high and shouted:

"The Stellar Civilization never abandons its friends!"

The whole place went silent.

Mu Xinghe was speechless.

Countless gazes turned toward them.

Mu Xingchen shouted again, "The Stellar Civilization NEVER abandons its friends!"

"Hahaha!" Mu Ling suddenly laughed loudly. "Well said! Xingchen is right! We, the Stellar Civilization, never abandon our friends!"

"Anyone who wishes to surrender, go ahead," he said, but not a single person moved.

Mu Ling laughed again. "Good!"

He led all the Stellar Civilization's elites to Ye Guan's side.

Those who had surrendered could only shake their heads. To them, the Stellar Civilization was choosing suicide.

Now, only the Divine Dao Civilization, the Gate of Bitterness, and the Nothingness Sect remained. Shendao Tia looked at his people and saw the same longing to live in their eyes. He sighed. If there was even a sliver of hope, he would fight. But now? There was none.

Fighting now would just be suicide.

He turned toward the Supreme Will. "The Divine Dao Civilization submits."

Everyone from the Divine Dao Civilization knelt.

Dao An's voice echoed across the heavens. "The Nothingness Sect submits."

He led all his clan members to kneel.

Now, two of the five Supreme Divine civilizations had surrendered. All eyes turned to the Gate of Bitterness.

San Xiang placed his hands together in prayer, turned to his people, and saw the same desperate desire to survive.

Resistance meant death. The Supreme Will would utterly crush them.

And if they stayed alive, perhaps they would be around once the vast expanse was restarted later on.

San Xiang sighed and turned toward the Supreme Will.

"The Gate of Bitterness submits."

He led everyone in the clan to kneel.

At this point, aside from the Immortal Treasures Pavilion, Guanxuan Domain, and the Starry Sky Civilization, every major power of the Origin Universe had surrendered.

Now, all eyes turned to Ye Guan and his people.

Would they fight or surrender?

From the Ascension Battles Road above, the Supreme Will gazed down at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan looked at Ye Qingqing and Erya beside him. Their eyes held no fear; only bloodlust gleamed in Erya's gaze.

Then, the Supreme Will raised a single finger. With a soft press, the entire Origin Universe began to fade away. Even the starry skies beyond it began to blur and break down.

The Supreme Will was enveloping the entire universe.

It was about to erase all life and reset the vast expanse. Every being across the vast expanse felt Death staring at them. From fear to despair, they realized that no matter how they struggled, they were nothing but ants before the Supreme Will.

Starry domains crumbled as countless lives faced annihilation.

At that moment, Ye Guan stepped forward, his gaze locked onto the Supreme Will.

Surrender? How can the Ye and Yang Clans surrender?

More importantly, he cultivated the Order Dao. Everyone else could turn away from the people, but he could not. Sword Intent erupted from him, and his two bloodlines surged forth, releasing a terrifying pressure across heaven and earth.

He was a Quadruple Circle Breaker!

And still it wasn't enough. Divine techniques erupted from within him, spreading through the skies. Order Law!

However, it couldn't withstand the Supreme Will.

Ye Guan roared: "All living beings, lend me your strength!"

His voice echoed through the infinite universe, resonating in every mind...

A brief silence.

Then, countless streams of faith power surged forth, flooding into Ye Guan. His aura skyrocketed. At that moment, he carried the hopes of all life.

Faith power, Quadruple Circle Breaker, and the Order Law! Endless faith power poured into him, and his aura soared to unprecedented heights.

This time, he would hold nothing back.

Against the Supreme Will, he probably had only one chance.

And then, everyone froze.

Even Ye Guan himself froze. All eyes turned toward the Supreme Will at the end of the Ascension Battles Road.

As Ye Guan's aura rose, so did Hers[1]

The faith power was identical; it was exactly the same. Not a sliver of difference.

What was happening?

The Supreme Will slowly walked down from the Ascension Battles Road. Step by step, she approached Ye Guan. When she stood just a few steps away, she suddenly smiled and said, "Little swordsman, long time no see."

Her once illusory form solidified, revealing a breathtaking face.

Sang Mei! She was the origin of all Order!
