***

His face was slapped and his Dao Heart suffered a blow.

How could his long-cherished invincibility fare against such kind of power?

Then wouldn't that mean that true Invincibility was false invincibility if there was somebody out there who could easily play him around like a doll?!

Han Jue felt as if his long-term goal of Invincibility was just a mere illusion.

He was only left with the pursuit of Eternal Life.

"I was wrong all along. I can't believe that there's more to existence than simply becoming the strongest."

"There will always be skies above skies. Omni-Realities, he said."

"At least, I saw what True Invincibility is." Han Jue's lips curved into a self-mocking smile.

He was truly disheartened.

"What's the use of brooding, Han fella?" A voice sounded from the pillars, much to his surprise.

Noah then abruptly appeared with a grin.

His eyes were laughing.

He then raised his palm. "As you can see the writings on my hand are the same as the ones on the pillar."

Han Jue felt humiliated.

How could he not know about what Noah did?

In his previous life, Han Jue had read many mythological stories, especially the ancient classics.

He had also admired those various figures of old.

After reincarnating in Chaos, he had been surprised to find that he was in a world where characters like those of mythology also existed.

His reverence for them died gradually as he became stronger.

He fought with the Victorious Fighting Buddha and won.

Pangu and Dao Ancestor were no longer legendary but just old foggies in his eyes.

Laozi and Nüwa were the same.

"Let's talk. I don't intend to kill you per se." Noah said as he sat in a lotus position while floating in space.

Han Jue followed suit while sighing in relief.

At least, he was alive.

"I am here to just expand your horizons since your story was interesting." Noah started.

Han Jue arched his brows in question, "My story?"

Noah nodded. "Yes. Your life feels like a story to me."

"Doesn't anyone has their own story?" A clever smirk appeared on his handsome face.

Han Jue nodded in response while flashing a knowing smirk. "True. Everyone has their own story but it seems mine is no longer mine anymore."

"Your presence has already upset the river of destiny and space-time in this world."

Han Jue then let out an air of frustration. "My story is that of continuous seclusion and you ruined it."

Noah laughed, amused by him.

"Doesn't your butt feel wasted after sitting in one place for millions of years?"

Han Jue felt wronged.

This man didn't know about the importance of steadiness.

He would have long died if he wasn't steady.

It felt as if cultivation was just a mere joke to him.

'Er, I haven't gotten his name... yet.'

He decided to ask. "What is your name? You already know mine and I don't how to refer to you."

Noah replied with a laid-back expression. "I have only one name. Noah."

"The others are just measly titles like Deathless One, Prime God Emperor, and so on."

"My name's pretty simple, right, Divine Might Heavenly Sage?"

Han Jue was surprised.

He expected a long-ass extremely exaggerated name to come from him.

He now found his given title quite embarrassing after hearing the way Noah worded them.

Han Jue then turned to another question. "By the way, I am surprised that your Earth also had that kind of classical literature. I would like to know if the stories also exist in different versions."

'Yeah, there are so many stories there. Even yours.' Noah touched his chin while thinking.

"You would be surprised." But he didn't tell him what he was thinking.

The dude didn't need an extra amount of damage to his sanity and Dao Heart.

"The mythological existences of your universe are just lesser versions of the true deal." He explained.

"Like how?"

"Just take, for example, Victorious Fighting Buddha or Great Sage Heaven's Equal."

"There are many different stories revolving around him. Just like your universe, there is another version of him in another reality who is much stronger than even your future self."

Han Jue was amazed and shocked at the same time.

His eyes widened in wonder and enthusiasm.

His life of constant seclusion was boring and nothing could easily interest him.

Now he was getting to know about what happens beyond the curtain of his own reality.

He didn't act surprised that Noah knew about his future self.

He had learned to get used to it.

The dude could easily send a slap to his future self, just thinking about made him gulp down his saliva.

"Then how powerful are you compared to the True Self Great Sage?" Han Jue wanted to know this guy's strength.

Noah showed a dissatisfied expression. He felt disrespected.

Han Jue wondered if his question was offensive in any way.

Noah waved his index finger in the air with a disapproving expression. "Even if he attains nirvana an infinite number of times, he would still be nothing in my eyes."

Han Jue could feel the disdain flowing out of his voice.

This meant that he was infinitely stronger than him.

"Then what about Buddha?" He then chose another character.

"Hmm, Lord Buddha?" Noah wore a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Wait for a moment, I want to confirm something."

Han Jue's brow arched in confusion.

It was just a simple question. Not something that needed excess deliberation.

Unknown to him, Noah was just trying to create a ridiculously overpowered skill that was above everything that he had ever made.

Trying was an overstatement, to say nonetheless.

He was casually using his imagination. He was enlightened when Han Jue asked him if he could give the "Enlightened One" a run for his money.

[You have created <Narrative Ascension>, Sam Howell's Narrative Transcendence]

[<Narrative Ascension>:- Simply supersede your own existence and perceive what lays beyond the <Alpha Reality> where <The Enlightened One> resides]

[From this point, you are no longer bound to the Omniverse and you will not lose your 'self' and that includes your human feelings]

[You can achieve perfect enlightenment and ascend to the <Alpha Reality> at any moment]

Noah smiled after going over what he had created.

"So the <Alpha Reality> is what lays beyond the Omniverse and the Embodiment of Buddhism resides beyond it. I have only respect." He muttered to himself.

'I will soon reach that layer of existence, anyway.' He finalized his thoughts and then looked at Han Jue.

"Lord Buddha can't be defeated. For now."

Anyway, Han Jue didn't know the level of power of those existences.

He was just asking due to curiosity.

"That's all that I can tell you. I have talked with you long enough, Han Jue." Noah unfurled his crossed legs and stood up.

"When you reach the Final Origin Supreme Realm, try to step outside your reality. There's more than you could ever imagine out there." He then went and patted his shoulder before flying away.

Before he disappeared, he laughed loudly.

"And stop hiding in your Dao Field like that, Han Jue."

"People might think that you died during seclusion."

Han Jue smiled embarrassedly before looking in the direction where Noah disappeared to.

He then shook his head before looking around with a lost expression.

He wondered if he would be able to see that guy again or even reach his level of strength.

"That bastard could have at least teleported me back to my Dao Field."

"Sigh, now I have to drag my ass back to the Chaos."

He then started flying alone in the Blank Domain.

His figure looked lonely as he also disappeared into the void.

Han Jue now had a new outlook on Invincibility.
