Chapter 4238: The Mountains of Heavenly Beginning Without End

Chapter 4238: The Mountains of Heavenly Beginning Without End

In the God Realm.
This was the most mysterious and unfathomable place in legend.
Every year on the winter solstice, the Divine Martial Sacrifice was conducted.
The Gate of the God Realm would open above the altars scattered across the universe, scattering Divine Martial Marks across all realms and all clans, granting the path of cultivation to the young beings with the highest innate talent.
They would strive fiercely, taking risks bravely, contending amidst the glint of blades and shadows of swords, thereby acquiring lifespans of thousands or tens of thousands of years, and the power to burn the seas and boil the heavens.
Every year, the sacrificial light pillars would open the path to the God Realm. Since ancient times, many cultivators—some driven by curiosity, others by extraordinary cultivation—had ventured to the God Realm to investigate.
None had ever returned.
Only in recent years, the two groups who went to the God Realm to rescue the Heavenly Demon, were the sole exceptions.
Over thirty thousand years ago, cultivators from the God Realm began to emerge in large numbers, influencing the situation of the universe, affecting the decisions of all realms and all clans, and summoning cultivators across the world to build the Heaven and Earth Altar.
Only then was the mysterious veil of the God Realm slowly lifted.
Here, the territory was boundless, with mountains and rivers so vast they were awe-inspiring.
The peaks were like ancient divine mountains, their full scope visible only to divine eyes. Each one was as massive as a star, towering into the clouds, deep and dense. Even dragons and divine tigers charging into them would vanish without a trace.
The rivers were hundreds or thousands of miles wide, teeming with countless strange aquatic species, winding around the mountains, their water vapor forming clouds.
The entire God Realm was filled with primordial chaotic qi, and even the clouds were of nine lights and ten colors, making it hard to believe this was a real world.
...

The location of the main altar was even more magnificent, with mountain ranges rising hundreds of millions of miles. Peaks vied in splendor, a dark, oppressive mass in the twilight. Even divine kings and divine venerables would be shocked and breathless when gazing into the distance.
This was the forbidden zone of the God Realm: "The Mountains of Heavenly Beginning Without End."
Even the Second Confucian Ancestor was entering for the first time.
Above the mountains, stars were dense, and nebulae were brilliant, as if another universe existed, very close to the ground, pressing the space extremely low.
"How many layers does this universe have? Do living beings exist on those planets?"
The Grand Minister of Works followed behind the Second Confucian Ancestor, sighing in amazement the entire way. He had never seen such a grand spectacle, overturning his previous understanding of the world.
The Mountains of Heavenly Beginning Without End beneath his feet were also terrifying, filled with folded space and chaotic primordial divine qi, like an endless path to the heavens.
The Second Confucian Ancestor looked up.
This starry sky was also new to him.
It was completely invisible outside the Mountains of Heavenly Beginning Without End.
"It's not a universe; it's a Truth Realm Form, a Truth Realm Form as vast as a universe! Very real!" The Second Confucian Ancestor possessed spiritual power at the ninety-sixth rank. There were few things in the world that could escape his perception.
The Grand Minister of Works, the Second Minister of Works, and Luo Shuihan had been forcibly taken away by the Second Confucian Ancestor back then to cultivate in the Eternal Heavenly Kingdom.
Later, Luo Shuihan returned to the Sword Realm.
But the Grand Minister of Works and the Second Minister of Works were two black and white chess pieces refined by the Second Confucian Ancestor, always kept by his side.
Reaching the peak of one of the mountains in the Mountains of Heavenly Beginning Without End, they looked toward the central area.
In their field of vision was a vast highland wilderness, upon which stood the main altar of the God Realm.
This main altar was far larger than the one in the Sword Realm, its outline blurry, wrapped in dark, swirling mist and clouds, with hurricanes sweeping across half the God Realm.
Below the swirling mist and clouds, connecting to the lower realm, was the bright sacrificial calamity light.
The main altar continuously absorbed blood qi, souls, matter, energy, and rules from the vast universe of the lower realm.
Above the swirling mist and clouds, it connected to the vast sea of stars formed by the Truth Realm Form.
"So many people?"
The Grand Minister of Works widened his eyes, seeing many figures wrapped in silver robes on the highland wilderness.
The Second Minister of Works glared at him, warning him not to speak too much.
The scene here was too terrifying. Some cultivators emitted power that distorted space.
The "Ancient Desolate Ruins City" sat atop a hundred-million-mile mountain east of the main altar. The light of the desolate moon illuminated the God Realm, and the Myriad Forms Formless Seal hung in the void.
The Dark Lord was the desolate moon, not dark at all, but rather bright and dazzling.
A seven-colored sea of light, containing infinite quantities of power, had been moved to a hundred-million-mile mountain west of the highland wilderness.
The Murong Overlord hovered above the sea of light, breathing and exhaling like drinking seven-colored rivers, absorbing the power of quantities to restore his cultivation.
The Starry Sky Cliff lay horizontally between two other giant mountains, transforming into the "Bridge of Helplessness."
The Heavenly Demon stood on the bridge, blade in hand, his gaze and blade qi sharp to the extreme, capable of piercing time and space, reaching the past and future.
These three ancestors exuded a soul-shaking aura, their power fluctuations overwhelming heaven and earth.
The Time-Space Human Ancestor, in white robes with white hair, bearing an immortal air, stood on the highland wilderness chanting, his voice resounding through the God Realm and the lower universe.
His spiritual power at the ninety-sixth rank, along with his perfected divine soul thoughts, was fully unleashed.
"Rustle!"
Hundreds and thousands of miles-wide rivers beneath the mountains soared up, appearing in the midair of the wilderness, transforming into hundreds or thousands of moats.
The water in the rivers flowed together with talisman imprints and formation inscriptions, glittering.
Countless time rules converged within these floating thousand rivers.
The Second Confucian Ancestor understood clearly: these rivers had formed multiple ancestral grand formations. The power of time and space within them was terrifying. Even with his cultivation, breaking in would not guarantee a safe retreat.
He had always known the Human Ancestor's spiritual power was high, but he hadn't expected it to reach this level.
It was probably only one step away from the ninety-seventh rank.
If the Human Ancestor's spiritual power truly reached the ninety-seventh rank, then even the Underworld Ancestor at his peak would likely have to retreat and find it difficult to contend.
The Qiangu Nüdi, draped in a wide silver robe, her body unable to move, stood not far from the Human Ancestor.
The Goose One and Goose Two, who had been cultivating by the Time-Space Human Ancestor's side, had long transformed, resembling immortal birds, with terrifying auras and divine flames covering their bodies.
Among those silver-robed cultivators were some familiar faces. The Qiangu Nüdi had seen them in the Godfall Clan, but she hadn't expected these clan members to be so deeply hidden, each with a thick aura and full spirit, far beyond ordinary gods.
"The members of the Godfall Clan are grandfather's true direct lineage!" the Qiangu Nüdi thought to herself.
"Tap tap!"
Footsteps sounded.
The Second Confucian Ancestor passed through the crowd of Godfall Clan cultivators and arrived beside the Time-Space Human Ancestor.
The Grand Minister of Works came to the Qiangu Nüdi's side, craning his neck, and called out in surprise, "Nüdi, you're here too?"
The Qiangu Nüdi could not respond.
"Goose One, Goose Two, you're getting more majestic. Are you about to transform into immortal birds?"
The Grand Minister of Works stroked Goose One's feathers but was burned by the divine flames.
However, the bodies of the Grand Minister of Works and the Second Minister of Works had long been refined by the Second Confucian Ancestor to the level of divine artifacts. Any one of these chess pieces could pierce through three realms. Thus, the burn healed quickly.
The Second Confucian Ancestor shook his head and sighed softly, "I didn't expect you to sacrifice the entire universe. Was it necessary to be so radical?"
"What, have you grown soft-hearted?" The Time-Space Human Ancestor smiled faintly.
The Second Confucian Ancestor said, "Just a bit of lament! This vast universe, with its countless great realms and innumerable life-bearing planets, has nurtured so many civilizations. How brilliant and glorious it once was. Looking back millions of years ago, the Peng soared over the North Sea, the Phoenix faced the morning sun, the new white robe entered the cool dawn—what vigor and ambition! They were set to change the universe for a new heaven, to recreate order and prosperity in the world."
"Who would have thought that everything must be destroyed? All civilizations, all splendid scenes, like fire trees and silver flowers, would wither into eternal darkness and emptiness."
The Time-Space Human Ancestor comforted him, "When the Great Calamity arrives, the universe will ultimately be destroyed. What we can do is protect a very small number of cultivators who share our aspirations, allowing them to continue civilization in the God Realm."
"After the Great Calamity, I will use the supreme Way of Time and Space to imitate the Big Bang of the universe, spreading the matter absorbed into the God Realm outward, evolving into a new sea of stars and universe."
"At that time, we can fully follow our own will to open a new cosmic era, writing the order and prosperity we wish to see."
The Second Confucian Ancestor said, "The God Realm is also part of the universe. Within the rules of heaven and earth, can it avoid the Great Calamity?"
"Of course!"
The Time-Space Human Ancestor pointed ahead and added, "As long as this altar is not destroyed, the God Realm can stand eternally."
The Second Confucian Ancestor showed a thoughtful expression: "The lower realm is already buzzing with rumors, all saying that Zhang Ruochen is the consciousness born from the Heavenly Dao, and that the origin power of the Heavenly Dao has been captured and suppressed by the God Realm. Could it be... that what is suppressed in this main altar is the Heavenly Dao's origin?"
The Time-Space Human Ancestor laughed, "That is merely the talk of that Illumination Divine Lotus to deceive and sway people, intended to boost morale. Otherwise, how would cultivators from all races in the universe dare to attack the God Realm?"
After a moment's thought, he added, "With your spiritual power, knowing the cause and effect of this main altar's existence in the world should not be difficult, right?"
The Second Confucian Ancestor thought for a moment and pointed a finger outward.
"Whoosh!"
A beam of spiritual power pierced through the swirling mist and clouds.
In an instant, billions of Divine Martial Marks burst forth from within, accompanied by Xuanhuang divine light, illuminating the entire Mountains of Heavenly Beginning Without End in Xuanhuang two colors, adding much more majesty.
Many cultivators hidden within the God Realm were shocked by this scene.
Desolate Heaven, hiding within the divine realm world of a God Realm god, arrived at the foot of the Mountains of Heavenly Beginning Without End and murmured, "Such terrifying Xuanhuang qi! Even Hao Tian hasn't cultivated to this level. Throughout history, probably only that one had such cultivation."
Xuanyuan Lian, hidden elsewhere, felt his hair stand on end, trembling with excitement: "Is it Emperor Xuan? Is Emperor Xuan trapped in the God Realm? No, wasn't Emperor Xuan's second life the Buddha Kasyapa?"
...

The Second Confucian Ancestor saw the main altar clearly. It was Kongming Ruins...
No.
Kongming Ruins was only part of the main altar. There, blood mist filled the air, and space was chaotic. A golden, broken remnant body stood proudly amidst billions of Divine Martial Marks, releasing a terrifying and unparalleled pressure.
Though broken, it overlooked the universe.
Every wisp of Xuanhuang qi on it could crush a star domain.
The Time-Space Human Ancestor stared at the broken figure and said, "In the battle at the Jade Desolate Realm back then, several Witch Ancestors descended across the long river of time. Fortunately, time backlashed against them, and heaven and earth were suppressing them, preventing their combat power from reaching its peak. Otherwise, the Jade Desolate Realm would have become our burial ground."
The Second Confucian Ancestor said, "The Witch Ancestors are indeed the most top experts since ancient times."
"The most top, still, is Empress Wa. Everyone, including me and the Underworld Ancestor, only she escaped unscathed. For so many years, even her ancestral corpse could not be found. Her cultivation was probably only half a step away from the higher level of Heavenly Beginning Without End."
The Time-Space Human Ancestor laughed again and said, "This half of the ancestral body left by Emperor Xuan of the Xuan Yuan clan, Xiao Qiu, what combat power do you think it can unleash?"
The Second Confucian Ancestor trembled slightly.
"Xiao Qiu"—how many tens of thousands of years had it been since that address?
Ever since he stepped into the ancestral realm, the Time-Space Human Ancestor had never called him that again.
Hearing it now, the Second Confucian Ancestor no longer felt the former intimacy; it was more like a reminder or a warning.
The Second Confucian Ancestor's mind instantly recovered, calm and natural: "Actually, I am more curious about what combat power the corpse of the Truth Great Emperor can now unleash? Back in the Jade Desolate Realm, his ancestral body was also shattered, right? He also left behind some ancestral flesh and blood?"
In that battle back then, even the Underworld Ancestor almost turned to ashes. When he fled to the future, he couldn't even condense his form, which was why he was ambushed by the Twenty-Four Heavens.
If the Immovable Bright King Great Venerable hadn't fled to the past, he would surely have fallen.
The Ancestral Dragon's two horns and a large amount of dragon scales and flesh were also knocked off. It was with these remnants that the Time-Space Human Ancestor later found the Ancestral Dragon's corpse.
It could be said that the Immortal, as well as the Witch Ancestors, were all severely injured.
Even Empress Wa, who escaped unscathed, was heavily wounded.
The reason the Time-Space Human Ancestor recovered before the Underworld Ancestor was that he had the Second Confucian Ancestor, a contemporary ancestor, as his protector. Thus, he didn't flee to the future and had an extra million years of healing time compared to the Underworld Ancestor.
That was the advantage of cultivating a contemporary ancestor!
In that epic ancestral melee back then, the Second Confucian Ancestor hadn't even entered the core battlefield; he wasn't qualified to participate. The Great Venerable's scheme was to kill the Time-Space Human Ancestor and the Underworld Ancestor, not him.
It could be said that in that battle at the Jade Desolate Realm, as long as the Witch Ancestors left behind ancestral remnants, the Time-Space Human Ancestor could use them to find their corpses.
That battle made the Time-Space Human Ancestor deeply realize the importance of helpers.
One more helper meant one more chance of victory.
And often, life-and-death outcomes depended on these idle chess pieces.
"Boom!"
On the highland wilderness, the entire sea of stars flickered, then shifted.
The corpse of the Truth Great Emperor appeared and disappeared within the cosmic sea of stars, his divine clothes golden, releasing a soul-shaking ancestral might, pressing space into countless cracks.
Whether it was the remnant body of Emperor Xuan on the main altar or the Truth Great Emperor in the sea of stars, both had reached the true ancestral level. The power fluctuations on their bodies were strange, resonating with the fluctuations of heaven and earth qi.
The Second Confucian Ancestor was shocked in his heart.
Although the Time-Space Human Ancestor did not admit that the Heavenly Dao's origin was suppressed in the main altar, at this moment, the Second Confucian Ancestor was convinced that the Heavenly Dao's origin had been captured!
To reach the true ancestral realm was no easy feat!
Even possessing the corpse of a Witch Ancestor was not enough.
The only explanation was that the two soul consciousnesses controlling the remnant body of Emperor Xuan and the corpse of the Truth Great Emperor must have been nurtured by the power of the Heavenly Dao's origin for a long time.
The soul consciousness within the Murong Overlord's body was likely also cultivated in this way.
Were they helpers he cultivated, or were they ancestral medicinal herbs? Was he doing this to resist the Great Calamity, or to break through to a higher level?
The name "Mountains of Heavenly Beginning Without End" also represented the ambition in his heart, didn't it?
The Second Confucian Ancestor secretly made a certain decision.
"It's the aura of the Truth Great Emperor!"
Chi Kunlun, hiding in the God Realm, suddenly raised his head, gazing into the distance at the Mountains of Heavenly Beginning Without End.
"Roar!"
A deafening tiger roar, an ancestral sound, shook the mountains of the God Realm.
Chi Kunlun's eardrums shattered, blood flowing like a stream.
He saw a chaotic giant with a human body and tiger head ascend to the God Realm. Amidst rumbling sounds, it strode into the Mountains of Heavenly Beginning Without End. The ripples of ancestral might on its body squeezed the rules of heaven and earth away.
"Human Ancestor, I, this Emperor, have arrived!"
The tiger-headed giant stepped onto the highland wilderness and bowed slightly.
The Time-Space Human Ancestor said indifferently, "Has the Heavenly Mother been suppressed?"
The White Jade Divine Emperor felt somewhat embarrassed but naturally wouldn't mention the setback, saying, "She is trapped in the Eternal Existence Divine Sea. She absolutely cannot escape within a few days. A few days are enough for us to kill the Underworld Ancestor, right?"
"The Underworld Ancestor has long fallen in the Earth Desolate Universe," said the Second Confucian Ancestor.
The White Jade Divine Emperor was slightly surprised: "Then who was the one controlling the Santu River to guard the Heavenly Court earlier?"
The White Jade Divine Emperor knew that the only opponent the Time-Space Human Ancestor feared was the Underworld Ancestor. Otherwise, why would he join forces with him and the Dark Lord? Why collect the corpses of the Witch Ancestors and spend countless efforts to cultivate new ancestors?
The Underworld Ancestor in a desperate state was too terrifying. The Time-Space Human Ancestor had to meticulously arrange and gather enough power to ensure absolute certainty.
If the Underworld Ancestor had long fallen, why was the Time-Space Human Ancestor still so cautious?
The Time-Space Human Ancestor said, "She is more terrifying than the Underworld Ancestor in a wounded state. She is a spiritual power ancestor at the ninety-seventh rank."
Before the White Jade Divine Emperor could recover from the shock of the words "ninety-seventh rank," the Dark Lord said, "Actually, I think Zhang Ruochen is even more terrifying! Once he mends the heavens and breaks through, his combat power will definitely surpass that of a ninety-seventh-rank spiritual power ancestor. I think we should take the initiative to attack now, otherwise... the consequences are unpredictable."
The Dark Lord had fought Zhang Ruochen several times and knew the terror of this child, who could rebel and attack upwards even at the ancestral level.
Back then, with just five cultivators below the ancestral level barely completing the Dao method, he could fight one against two, against him and the Second Confucian Ancestor.
Once he completed a perfect transformation in cultivation, cultivated fifty-five clusters of Dao light, and entered the state of constancy, the Dark Lord was truly a bit afraid of him.
Moreover, all nine cauldrons were in Zhang Ruochen's hands, which were even more terrifying ancestral-killing heavy artifacts than the Seventy-Two Layer Tower.
The Time-Space Human Ancestor remained very composed, saying, "If we take the initiative to attack now, do you think we can stop him from breaking through? With that Illumination Divine Lotus protecting his path, whether Zhang Ruochen breaks through and how long it takes depends not on any external factor, but on whether he himself is willing."
"When he possessed the Strange Domain, Zhang Ruochen could already break through to constancy with a single thought. However, at that time, the destructive power of that thought was equivalent to a Minor Calamity, so he didn't do it."
"Now that his cultivation has improved again, and he has absorbed a lot of quantity power, he has more choices when breaking through now!"
The Second Confucian Ancestor nodded deeply: "Zhang Ruochen is waiting for us to descend! If we really go to hunt him now, do you believe he can take everyone away in one wave?"
"Can't we suppress him?" asked the White Jade Divine Emperor.
The Second Confucian Ancestor said, "Back when he was only at the Heavenly Venerable level, Corpse Yan, at the ancestral realm, couldn't suppress his reversal of Dao method and self-destruction. Now that he has the Strange Domain, even the Human Ancestor has no way to suppress him."
The White Jade Divine Emperor was moved, saying, "Has such a monstrous existence been born in the universe? Isn't it unsolvable?"
The Time-Space Human Ancestor said, "It's not unsolvable! No matter how strong a person is, they have their weaknesses. Once he enters the long river of time, he enters my domain. No matter how strong, he will be bound."
"When he wants to reverse time and urgently do one thing, that thing will become his burden, leading to his death."
"When doing one thing or killing one person, you can't be too ruthless. You have to leave him a thread of hope. Seeing that thread of hope, he won't fight to the death!"
The White Jade Divine Emperor volunteered: "Then let's kill Zhang Ruochen first, then take the Illumination Divine Lotus. I am willing to campaign in the long river of time!"
The Time-Space Human Ancestor waved his hand: "Dealing with Zhang Ruochen requires me to act personally..."
Then the Time-Space Human Ancestor began to speak in a low voice, deploying battle tactics to the ancestors present and the Godfall Clan members. He attached great importance to this battle and was not at all underestimating his opponent.
He was well aware that many of the ancestors present were gathered here out of fear of his terrifying cultivation. Once any variables appeared on the lower realm battlefield, it was hard to guarantee that these people wouldn't have other thoughts.
That was why he had revealed the remnant body of Emperor Xuan and the corpse of the Truth Great Emperor in advance, to intimidate those with ulterior motives.
The Second Confucian Ancestor stared at the lower universe, his expression solemn: "Zhang Ruochen's aura is growing stronger and stronger. The fifty-four clusters of Dao light around him are all lit up, and the five-colored divine glow has turned into a nebula. It is indeed Empress Wa paving the way for him. Back then, we shouldn't have let him break through to the ancestral realm. Everything has spiraled out of control!"
"It was our underestimation that let him break through to the ancestral realm?"
The Time-Space Human Ancestor shook his head gently, saying, "It was his forbearance and disguise, his exploitation of our desire to use him, that allowed him to reach where he is today. It was the sacrifice of many contemporary cultivators, the fearless hearts of the people exceeding our expectations, that caused the situation to spiral out of control. Let's go. We'll go together to turn the situation back!"
...

The twelve five-colored clay figurines all turned into nebula dust. The five-colored merit qi and the power of the five Witch Ancestors condensed into five clusters of Dao light, using the five elements number to complete Zhang Ruochen's ancestral Dao.
The number of heaven and earth was complete!
Zhang Ruochen stood in the void, his gaze like a torch, his heroic aura overwhelming the sky. He looked at the sacrificial calamity light right before him and pressed a palm out.
His five fingers grasped heaven and earth.
The Dao method power of "Infinite Self-Attachment" burst forth, causing the previously unstoppable sacrificial calamity light to ripple in layers, showing signs of slowing down.
"I control the number of heaven and earth; heaven and earth are my domain!"
"Whoosh!"
Zhang Ruochen raised his hand, and in an instant, his divine soul thoughts spread to the Heavenly Court, to Fengdu Ghost City, to the Earth Desolate Universe... In the universe, across all realms and all clans, the Divine Martial Marks on the brows of countless trillions of cultivators all fell off, flying like raindrops toward the northern universe.
Ji Fanxin tore open countless spatial cracks, leading these Divine Martial Marks into the tributaries of the Santu River.
Mightily and vigorously, all the Divine Martial Marks in the universe, together with the waters of the Santu River, flowed backward, rushing toward the northern universe, merging with the long river of time.
Ten thousand streams returning to the source!
Zhang Ruochen spread his arms, bearing the Divine Martial Marks of all cultivators in the universe, and floated down to the Luozu Cloud Mountain Realm.
"Set sail!"
Ji Fanxin waved her white sleeve, unleashing her ninety-seventh-rank spiritual power. Carrying the boundless might of the Santu River, she struck the long river of time, nearly cutting off its flow, stirring up towering waves.
Wrapped in countless Divine Martial Marks, amidst the great waves of the long river of time, the Luozu Cloud Mountain Realm was like a ship, setting sail in the wind.
Facing the sacrificial calamity light, it traveled north, toward the direction of the former Wuding Divine Sea.
The Great Emperor patrolled the north, seeking to break the rules and reshape cause and effect.
Time was flowing backward!
A strange phenomenon appeared—the sacrificial calamity light that had been spreading across the universe began to recede and contract.
"Time has really been reversed! Really reversed!"
Xiang Chunan, immersed in the pain of Feng Yan and others' deaths, clenched his fists, roaring hoarsely, tears streaming down his face. He felt that all the sacrifices were worth it.
At least it had bought a thread of hope!
The five-colored clay figurines were originally meant to "mend the sky's gap and level the earth's leak." That was their destiny.
The two lines on the stone pillars of the Wa Imperial Palace's temple now had a true interpretation.
The sky's gap was in humans; what was mended was the deficiency of the Dao method.
The earth's leak was the destroyed universe; what needed to be leveled was the starry sky destroyed by the sacrificial calamity light.
Xiang Chunan was full of confidence in his big brother. He believed that his big brother, carrying the expectations of everyone and the wills of countless fallen cultivators, would surely, with an indestructible will, cut through all obstacles and rewrite a different future.
"We send off the Imperial Dust, hoping the Imperial Dust returns victorious!"
Xuanyuan Lian, Shang Tian, Cihang Venerable, Hai Shang Youruo, Luo Yan Great Emperor, and countless cultivators bowed in homage.
...

I see that everyone has some controversy about the plot between Yan Wushen and Fengdu Dadi!
Actually, I think that for someone as proud as Yan Wushen, making him kneel voluntarily is even harder than making him die. Conversely, if Fengdu Dadi had the certainty of breaking through within a day, and he voluntarily knelt to Yan Wushen to borrow his life, I believe Yan Wushen would also grant it. Because seeing Fengdu Dadi kneel is even harder than seeing him self-destruct his divine source.
Additionally, the reason I designed the plot of breaking through only after sacrificing life multiple times is that I believe the enemy won't give you time to grow to a level that threatens him. Just like when Zhang Ruochen first became a god, he was attacked by Qingtian.
It's also like the real-world situation...
Only through the combined efforts of everyone, only by advancing at all costs, only by racing against time, can the blockade be broken and one grow to the same height as the enemy. Where does time come from? It is exchanged by many sacrificing themselves.
