“*The Man Who Is Closest To Heavenly Way*„

Tyrant Song big shot was a mysterious and legendary being that suddenly showed up in 2019. At first, he was thought to be a normal and regular newly promoted Eighth Stage. However, in just a few months, where Tyrant Song repeatedly had his once a month sermons, Tyrant Song was rumoured to be a Ninth Stage Tribulation Immortal that is perfecting his Way, and finally as an ancient and powerful Eternal Life Being.

## Notable Battles

### Prologue Battle

Eternal Life Being Moon-like Fire issued a challenged to Eighth Stage Profound Saint Tyrant Song. His challenge was accepted by Tyrant Ball. Both of them fought on Mars.

During this battle, due to the actions of Tyrant Ball opening a passage to the Nine Serenities World, it unleashed a precursor of the Spirit Tide originating from the Changing Heaven, which caused several changes on the main world, such as: increasing the internal space and spiritual energy of Mars and Moon and enhancing the Earth's seabed.

### Battle of Mars

“*Defeat me first before you can challenge my main body!*„
— **Tyrant Ball to to all Tribulation Immortals and Eternal Life Beings**

Tyrant Song’s doppelgänger, Tyrant Ball issued a challenge to all Tribulation Immortals and Eternal Life Beings. For seven days, he will stay on Mars and accept any challenges from them.

There were thirteen challengers who came and all of them were defeated by Tyrant Ball.

### The Tyrant vs the Emperor

While the Battle of Mars was on-going, there was a battle between *the Tyrant* and *the Emperor* raging on the Heavenly Emperor World.

### The Tyrant vs A Ruler

After defeating and killing the Emperor, the Tyrant turned his attention to a very unlikely target, a Nine Serenities Ruler. Both of them fought on Mars and part of the battle was witnessed by Tribulation Immortal Gold Trigram and seven Eternal Life Beings.

This battle was a surprise to the practitioners in All Heavens and Myriad Realms since it was widely known that during Changing Heaven, the Nine Serenities World would be without an owner.

## Interlude: 8.5th-Generation Heavenly Way

### 8.5th-Generation Heavenly Way Taking Office

On 25th January 2020, suddenly Daozi becoming the new Heavenly Way. This event took All Heavens and Myriad Realms practitioners by surprise because usually a vying could take several tens of thousands of years and Tyrant Song was the clear favourite to win the vying.

The fact that Daozi was the 8.5th-generation Heavenly Way was only known to extremely few people. After all, this is a highly classified information. The practitioners from All Heavens and Myriad Realms thought Daozi as the Ninth Heavenly Way since he has gone through all the process when proving the Way as Imperishable.

On 04th February 2020, majority of Tribulation Immortals and Eternal Life Beings went to the Gem Territory. They were drawn to the news that the Tomb of Imperishable belonging to the Second and Third Heavenly Ways appeared there.

## Start of the Vying

On the 04th February 2020, an illusory music resounded in All Heavens and Myriad Realms’ sky, announcing the retirement of the 8.5th-generation Heavenly Way, Daozi. At the same time, the illusory music also signalling the start of the Vying for the Heavenly Way IX.

Due to Daozi retirement after less than a month becoming a Heavenly Way, it was speculated by top Tribulation Immortals and Eternal Life Beings that there was some deal between Daozi and Tyrant Song. Moreover, they speculated for Daozi to whole heartedly obeying the arrangement, its only possible if Tyrant Song is the reincarnation of Ruism Holy Man.

There was no battle during the Vying since Tyrant Song and White immediately started to prove the Way as Imperishable.
