Chapter 608: The Beginning of Dark Tides
"Finally, I've reached this point," Chen Mu muttered as he gazed at the data appearing on the system panel, his expression calm.
With 100,000 experience points accumulated, it meant he could forcefully open the gate to the Divine Lord realm through the system panel. Countless Divine Realm beings across the vast universe were trapped before this gate.
Any Sixth Heaven Divine Realm being, when faced with the opportunity to achieve the Divine Lord realm, would undoubtedly lose their composure and be overwhelmed with excitement. After all, crossing this threshold meant bridging the gap between heaven and earth!
But Chen Mu remained calm.
These 100,000 experience points were the result of his efforts over thousands of world years, gradually accumulating through his understanding and hard work. This fruit of his labor was not some fortuitous opportunity that appeared out of thin air.
Therefore, at this moment, he didn't feel overly excited; instead, he experienced a sense of satisfaction, as if everything had fallen into place.
"Let's begin."
Chen Mu focused on the system panel, examining it carefully for a moment, finally gathering his thoughts and calming his mind.
Hum!
In the next instant, he saw a faint green glow appear on the system panel, followed by a golden radiance. The two lights intertwined before his eyes, merging seamlessly as if they were meant to be together.
Chen Mu's pupils reflected these two lights, and the intertwining gold and green hues in his eyes continued to converge, eventually forming an extremely tiny point. After a brief moment of solidification—
Boom!
Countless rays of light burst forth from that single point, obscuring Chen Mu's entire field of vision, turning everything within his sight into a dazzling, flawless white.
In this pure white world, it seemed as if nothing existed, not even the void; it was more void than nothingness itself.
But.
In the next instant, darkness engulfed the space.
It was the power of the void, the great Dao of the void, born from nothingness, instantly permeating everything. Following this was the ethereal and elusive power of time, and then came the great Dao of creation.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that after the birth of these three primordial Daos, they quickly split, manifesting in their fundamental mysteries. Each different primordial power was composed of five fundamental mysteries intertwining.
In the pure white world of the universe's creation, these three primordial Daos, like brushes, left their marks. Suddenly, everything froze in place, capturing the moment.
At the same time.
All the 'marks' related to the Dao of time and the Dao of the void were peeled away.
Even the mysteries of cause and effect, manifestations, and creation within the Dao of creation faded and disappeared, leaving only the mysteries of life and the ten thousand spirits in Chen Mu's line of sight.
This was a frozen frame, and its position could be described as ingeniously perfect, capturing the moment when the Dao of creation appeared, and the two mysteries merged, just before they separated again.
A little earlier,
everything was intertwined, a chaotic mess, making it impossible to discern anything.
A little later,
the mysteries of life and the ten thousand spirits would separate, making it difficult to comprehend the intricacies of their fusion.
This crucial moment was frozen, presenting the most perfect fusion of life and the ten thousand spirits, instantly immersing Chen Mu in this state.
Chen Mu, a being of extraordinary existence, had already reached the Sixth Heaven Limit in his cultivation and had been meditating on the fusion of the mysteries of life and the ten thousand spirits for thousands of world years. Although the fusion of mysteries still seemed distant, he had already caught a glimpse of its essence.
In this situation, the system panel directly revealed the culmination of the fusion mysteries before his eyes, granting him an infinite amount of insights and inspirations that flooded his mind.
For an ordinary person,
such an overwhelming surge of information might shatter their consciousness.
But Chen Mu was a divine being, a Sixth Heaven Limit cultivator with a perfect divine body. Even with an infinite stream of insights flooding his consciousness, his thoughts remained lucid and clear.
Most of his thoughts were immersed in that frozen frame, absorbed in the understanding of the fusion of life and the ten thousand spirits mysteries, while a small part of his consciousness remained aware of the outside world, preventing him from completely losing himself in the experience.
Chen Mu's divine energy incarnation was currently guarding the Dark Abyss, and he needed to remain vigilant.
"Life, all life, is so wondrous..."
"At the most fundamental level, life is all life, and all life is life. All life bestows meaning upon life, and life provides a vessel for all life. They complement each other, and without one, everything in the universe would be meaningless."
The insights that emerged in Chen Mu's heart at this moment were indescribable.
He felt that the perfect fusion of life and all life's essence, which was unfolding before his eyes, was a beauty beyond words, an ultimate splendor, and the ultimate beauty beneath this boundless universe.
No words could describe this scene.
"To hear the Dao in the morning, one can die content in the evening."
At this moment, Chen Mu felt as if he had witnessed the workings of the vast universe, seen the most basic rules of the world, and understood the most fundamental mysteries. He experienced an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
In reality, when he was breaking through to the Divine Realm, he had witnessed the Origin River and the Primordial Dao, and even experienced the infusion of Primordial energy into his body. But at that time, his cultivation was too low, and he couldn't comprehend anything.
Even now, if the complete Primordial Dao were presented before him, Chen Mu still wouldn't be able to understand it. As the saying goes, "Without taking small steps, one cannot travel a thousand miles." One must accumulate step by step to build a towering edifice.
The perfectly fused fundamental essence that Chen Mu could currently comprehend was precisely within his understanding.
...
As Chen Mu immersed himself in the insights of essence fusion,
The Dark Abyss.
Deep within.
The entire Dark Abyss was like a chaotic, tangled mess, a land of chaos where all essences were twisted, constantly merging and gathering, but also quickly disintegrating due to the twisting.
Only a very small number of 'coincidentally' twisted essences could complement each other, and the resulting product could become an abyssal life.
If one were to look at the Dark Abyss from a broader perspective, it would seem like an extremely unpredictable force, forcefully kneading together the three Primordial Daos and all essences, attempting to forcibly merge them into one.
But this was obviously impossible.
Not to mention the fusion of Primordial Daos, even the fusion of different fundamental essences under the same Primordial Dao required a specific method and structure to achieve perfect harmony. All other approaches would fail.
However, the Dark Abyss was like a machine constantly executing chaos, drawing Primordial energy from the boundless universe, twisting all essences together, and then forcibly mixing them. The entire process was devoid of order, filled with chaos.
This chaos led to uncertainty.
Destiny and causality were predetermined, but here, everything was uncertain.
Sizzle!
The chaotic essences constantly merged, only to repeatedly fail and collapse.
And amidst this countless failed fusions, there was one instance where the twisted essences managed to construct themselves together, writhing incessantly before finally transforming into a pitch-black abyssal life.
Gulp.
This pitch-black abyssal life opened a pair of deep, dark eyes.
The birth of an abyssal life in the Dark Abyss was an ordinary occurrence, but this time, it was slightly different, as this abyssal life began to slowly move.
In the vast universe, another abyssal life was born, not far from the first.
One, two, three,
Countless abyssal lives began to emerge one after another.
If one were to enter the depths of the Dark Abyss and look down upon it, they would see that in the depths, there were originally only a few abyssal lives, going through the cycle of birth, wandering, and annihilation.
But now, their numbers were rapidly increasing.
Compared to the vast and boundless Dark Abyss, this increase in numbers was insignificant, and it wouldn't affect the outside world in the short term. However, if this state continued, the number of abyssal lives wandering within the Dark Abyss would keep growing, and some would eventually reach the surface, with a few even managing to escape the Dark Abyss.
Such events had occurred more than once in the long history of the Dark Abyss.
The Dark Abyss was like a chaotic lair, grinding and intertwining all essences, and over the long years, at certain points in time, it would spawn a large number of abyssal lifeforms.
Although the lifespans of these abyssal creatures were not long, and they would even self-destruct after a while, when their numbers increased too much in a short period, they would surge out of the Dark Abyss in large numbers!
This phenomenon was also known as the Dark Heaven Tide.
At this very moment, deep within the Dark Abyss, the Dark Heaven Tide had already begun to manifest.
Outside the Dark Abyss, everything remained calm, and no one could see the scene within the depths of the Dark Abyss. No one knew that the number of abyssal lifeforms in the depths of the Dark Abyss was increasing as time passed.
In one of the many domains connected to the Dark Abyss, in the direction of the Vangu Void, the Molten Fire Lord was still enjoying his tea, while Wing King continued to observe the Dark Abyss, attempting to gain insights into the Convergence Essence from it...
Time quietly slipped away.
In the blink of an eye, more than three hundred world years had passed.
A sudden whoosh echoed through the void.
Wing King's figure suddenly streaked through the air, and a surge of powerful energy erupted, instantly crushing a shadow—an abyssal lifeform—under his ferocious might.
After annihilating this abyssal creature, Wing King first took a glance at it. Seeing no odd relic upon its demise, he then turned his gaze towards the distant Dark Abyss, his eyes slightly moving.
"Lately, these abyssal lifeforms seem to be appearing a bit too frequently..."
Normally, in a region of two trillion li under Chen Mu's responsibility, it was rare to encounter abyssal lifeform invasions even over hundreds of world years. Even in the ten trillion li area guarded by Wing King, there would be at most twenty to thirty such invasions in a hundred world years.
But in the past hundred world years, the situation had changed a bit. He had already encountered around fifty to sixty abyssal lifeform attacks, a significantly higher frequency.
However,
The Dark Abyss often had such occurrences.
At certain time nodes within the chaotic and mottled Dark Abyss, more abyssal lifeforms would emerge, known as a minor peak in their appearances. These minor peaks were not only not a bad thing but rather a good one.
After all, with his strength, in a hundred world years, not to mention fifty to sixty abyssal lifeforms, even if hundreds emerged, he could easily handle it. The more abyssal lifeforms he hunted, the greater the chance of obtaining special odd relics.
He had been guarding the Dark Abyss for a long time and had obtained more than one resource from the abyssal lifeforms.
Odd relics and resources like these were never unwelcome to anyone.
Thinking of this,
Wing King couldn't help but think of Chen Mu, and for a moment later, he shook his head silently.
A long time ago, Chen Mu had already displayed the strength of the Sixth Heaven, which was more than enough to guard a larger area of the Dark Abyss. But Chen Mu seemed completely uninterested, still only guarding the two trillion li area.
It seemed that Chen Mu was more enthusiastic about comprehending the Dark Abyss than dealing with the abyssal lifeforms. However, Wing King, who had been guarding the Dark Abyss for a long time, knew in his heart that resources were the most important.
After all,
Although the Dark Abyss could assist in comprehending fundamental essences and even the Convergence Essence, what was presented was fleeting. It was still incredibly difficult to truly understand anything, as it was ultimately just an illusion.
On the contrary, resources were tangible. The odd relics left behind by the fallen abyssal lifeforms were real. If he collected enough, he could exchange them for numerous Vangu Tokens in the Vangu Palace, which could then be used to obtain a special resource that aided in the Convergence Essence!
Each of those resources was far more substantial than the vague and ethereal insights from the Dark Abyss.
However,
Chen Mu hadn't asked to take on a larger area, so Wing King naturally wouldn't take the initiative to do so.
After all, if Chen Mu did that, he would have to give up part of his guarded area, and the others would also have to do the same. On the surface, it seemed like the guarding task would become lighter, but the acquired resources would decrease.
It seemed that the Dark Abyss was about to experience a minor peak in abyssal lifeform appearances. Wing King hoped that in the coming period, his luck would be a little better, and he could obtain a few more odd relics, bringing him closer to the resource he had been longing for.
