Chapter 702: Unfathomable Strength
Chapter 702: Unfathomable Strength
The Golden Fog Sacred Land.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged in the midst of it.
Not far away, the irregular crack connecting the Origin World's essence gradually sealed up completely.
"Gone?"
Lin Yuan's expression was inevitably tinged with regret.
Directly observing the Origin World's essence in operation, his understanding of the Great Law of Transformational Freedom was rapidly improving at every moment.
Unfortunately, such an opportunity only arose when a new Sacred Land was born.
The relationship between a Sacred Land and the Origin World was like that between a mother tree and its fruit.
Before the fruit completely separated from the mother tree, one could use the connection between them to observe the most fundamental areas of the mother tree.
Once it was completely separated, this connection would be severed, and everything would return to its original state.
Typically, a Sacred Land, from its birth to its complete separation from the Origin World, would take several hundred to several thousand years.
The exact duration depended on the level of the Sacred Land.
The Golden Fog Sacred Land, being the pinnacle among Sacred Lands, maintained its connection with the Origin World for over ten thousand years.
"Pity, such a crack connecting the Origin World's essence cannot be forcibly opened."
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. Even someone as powerful as an Ancestor could, through their life level, directly sense the Origin World's essence in operation.
However, forcibly opening a crack connecting to the Origin World's essence would invite the backlash of the entire Origin World.
Such a backlash was beyond the endurance of any life.
Of course, if Lin Yuan truly wished it, the six Ancestors could endure the backlash and suppression by the Origin World to forcibly open the crack connecting to the Origin World's essence.
But in doing so, Lin Yuan would owe them a great favor.
After ten thousand years of enlightenment, Lin Yuan believed he had reached the pinnacle in all aspects.
Continuing to observe the Origin World's essence in operation would be far less beneficial than the first ten thousand years.
"Ten thousand years of seclusion and cultivation have greatly enhanced my own strength."
Lin Yuan smiled.
At his level, let alone ten thousand years, even ten trillion years might not bring any further advancement in strength.
But Lin Yuan was different. With his Heaven-defying Comprehension and the accumulated advantages of his multidimensional space, his strength underwent a qualitative change over ten thousand years.
"Space and Time."
In Lin Yuan's sight, the space and time of the Golden Fog Sacred Land, and the space and time of the World, were orderly and coherent, like fine threads weaving through the world.
Lin Yuan could influence and control them with a single thought.
If he wished, he could trigger a space-time storm at any moment, extinguishing ninety percent of all life in the Origin World.
Two thousand years ago, Lin Yuan had completed a thorough transformation in his understanding of space-time fusion, comprehending the Great Law of Space-Time.
The Great Law of Space-Time was a realm only reachable at the Thirteenth stage. At this level, I Am Space-Time, and Space-Time Am I.
The former Emperor himself had already reached the Ninth Realm's limit in his accumulation of space-Time.
Later, obtaining the Thirteenth Stage weapon, the Heavenly Void Cauldron, and observing its inner mysteries, he barely managed to cross into the half-step of Space-Time fusion.
But Lin Yuan had thoroughly crossed over, his understanding of Space-Time rivaling that of Time Lives.
"Space-Time exists in any dimension, it is the foundation of all Worlds."
Lin Yuan continuously observed the space-time threads within his field of vision, his astonishment growing with each observation.
Countless space-time threads formed a certain balance, and it was because of this balance that a stable environment was born, giving rise to countless lives.
"The Supreme Origin Path?"
Lin Yuan's expression was thoughtful.
At his current realm, he had already sensed a certain force threading through countless dimensions, maintaining the basic operation of all Worlds.
Countless space-time threads, if even a slight error appeared, would trigger a disaster. But over the long ages, without external interference, space-time was incredibly stable.
Clearly, there was a higher force interfering.
This higher force was the Supreme Origin Path spoken of by the six Ancestors.
Even Thirteenth Stage Time Lives were pondering this great path.
"My life level is still too low."
Lin Yuan carefully sensed for a while, shaking his head slightly.
He could indeed sense this force threading through everything, but it was extremely vague.
"The Supreme Origin Path is still far from me. With this effort, I might as well refine the Primal Chaos Taiji Path to the third level."
Lin Yuan's thoughts converged.
Eight thousand years ago, he had entered the second level of the Primal Chaos Taiji Path.
Five thousand years ago, his understanding of the Primal Chaos Taiji Path had reached the peak of the second level.
Until now, he remained trapped at the peak of the second level.
The third level, the perfect level, was only a half-step away.
Compared to the ethereal Supreme Origin Path.
Comprehending the third level of the Primal Chaos Taiji Path was easier for Lin Yuan and offered greater assistance.
The first Origin World divides the Chaotic Evolutionary Path into three stages.
The third stage is the perfected realm, where this Origin World, without the support of an internal universe, rivals the cultivators of the Chaotic Void, relying on a higher level of the Chaotic Evolutionary Path.
The Chaotic Taiji Path is far more powerful than other Chaotic Evolutionary Paths. Just the premise of its evolution leads to the peak of the second realm of the Chaotic Void.
To comprehend the third stage of the Chaotic Taiji path is immensely more difficult than other Chaotic evolution paths.
Even Lin Yuan is briefly stuck at this bottleneck.
"Ah!"
Lin Yuan's mind slightly stirred.
He descended into his internal universe.
Overlooking the boundless internal universe, which is now equivalent to ten thousand void domains.
The vastness was unending.
"The Infinite Void, Sixth Layer."
Lin Yuan thought in secret.
Six thousand years ago, he had practiced this lineage's fifth layer and ascended to the sixth layer.
The sixth layer is the upper limit of this lineage, and the seventh layer? The founder of this lineage and no life in time has achieved it, only existing theoretically.
"I have transcended the original Infinite Void, with the ultimate goal being the Chaotic Void."
Now, Lin Yuan's internal universe has the ultimate goal of becoming a perfect world.
For this, Lin Yuan absorbed the perfect aspects and advantages of the Chaotic Void, the first Origin World, and the second Origin World, ultimately forming his current internal universe.
"Perhaps the upper limit of my current internal universe is not the seventh layer, but the eighth, ninth, or even tenth layer."
Lin Yuan pondered, after achieving the sixth layer, the Infinite Void lineage no longer holds much significance for him. The path ahead requires him to open and create it himself.
This is the path every strong cultivator must walk, and Lin Yuan's martial path evolution also came this way.
"My current strength."
Lin Yuan was somewhat uncertain.
Ten thousand years ago, he had little concept of his own strength, for even a regular supreme saint of the Chaotic Void could not withstand one of his moves.
But after ten thousand years of cultivation, Lin Yuan experienced a qualitative leap in various aspects, reaching the sixth layer of the Infinite Void, the second realm of the Chaotic Taiji Path, and so on.
Any aspect of improvement would significantly boost Lin Yuan's strength.
Especially when combined together.
"The deeper the foundation, the greater the enhancement when breaking through to the thirteenth stage."
Lin Yuan thought.
When breaking through from the eleventh to the twelfth stage, one would receive an infusion from the source of the Chaotic Void.
The amount of the infusion depends on the life's own foundation.
The same applies when breaking through from the twelfth to the thirteenth stage, so every time a life is born in the Chaotic Void, it would trigger phenomena across myriad void domains.
"I wonder if the source of the Chaotic Void can withstand the infusion for me?"
Lin Yuan's thoughts spread.
With his current foundation, once he truly and smoothly transcends to the thirteenth stage, he could bear the source, not to mention the Chaotic Void being depleted. It would be equivalent to the total sum of dozens of time lives and hundreds of time lives enduring the source.
And even more.
Would the Chaotic Void truly be able to fill me up?
Lin Yuan followed the Chaotic Qi drifting, arriving at a desolate void.
"It's right here."
Lin Yuan observed for a moment, then raised his hand and drew a line.
In an instant, space and time split, and a subsequent universe formed vast and boundless.
Unlike the internal universe, this subsequent universe was opened by an absolute supreme saint, independent of the saint itself.
Even if the supreme saint fell and died, the subsequent universe would not collapse.
Of course, the subsequent universe, like the innate universe, would collapse on that day. The subsequent universe's collapse would be total, and unable to be reborn as the innate universe after a great destruction.
The Primordial Emperor's opened this subsequent universe, after thousands of cosmic eras, was nearing collapse. Finally, due to the edge of space-time destruction, it led to its emergence.
"Opening the subsequent universe, experiencing a creation, and comprehending the rules of the universe is also a form of organizing."
Lin Yuan watched the subsequent universe gradually forming, with numerous rules and paths beginning to function, and simultaneously setting the rules and environment he desired.
"Furthermore, this subsequent universe can also serve as the cradle of human civilization."
"Even in extreme circumstances, if I am trapped in a time loop, I won't be immediately destroyed."
Lin Yuan’s thoughts stretched far into the future. Now, he needed to prepare for certain matters.
For instance, preparing a fallback for the human civilization?
As long as Lin Yuan was around, no faction in the chaotic void dared to provoke the human civilization.
But what if he were to become trapped in a time loop?
The Xuanhuang lineage and the Magic Jade Tower lineage were cautionary tales.
Naturally, Lin Yuan needed to have a backup plan.
After all, his rise had been too swift.
The human civilization simply couldn’t keep up with him.
Even now, not a single Chaos Realm cultivator had emerged.
"With my means, there’s no need to make arrangements within the innate universes."
Lin Yuan looked at the post-heaven universe he had already formed to a great extent.
Even a mighty Invincible Grand Saint, who had opened a post-heaven universe, would eventually face its collapse.
Thus, these Grand Saints typically made arrangements within the innate universes to ensure their lineage wouldn’t be extinguished when their post-heaven universes collapsed.
For example, the Xuanhuang Secret Realm in the home universe and the wooden house of the Raizan.
The innate universes, protected by the chaotic void, were considered absolutely safe and continuously renewed, making them the ideal place to ensure the continuous inheritance of a faction.
However, Lin Yuan didn’t need such trouble.
Because with his current mastery and application of space-time, the post-heaven universes he had created would likely never collapse, ensuring the human civilization’s lineage would continue unceasingly.
But if the chaotic void were to be destroyed?
If that day ever came, all life would be forced to retreat into the dimensional gaps, where everything would be annihilated.
These backup plans were Lin Yuan’s worst-case scenarios, prepared in case he couldn’t break through the time loop.
In fact, based on the observations of the six Ancestors of the first Origin World, the hope for Lin Yuan to successfully transcend to the thirteenth stage was still very high.
Ten thousand years had passed, and the six Ancestors had largely set aside everything else, continuously observing more of Lin Yuan’s future timelines, none of which were trapped in a time loop.
In the Milky Way Chaos Continent.
"Milky Way."
"Milky Way."
The supreme experts like Xuan Yuan came to pay their respects.
Since Lin Yuan, the pillar of the human civilization, had entered the chaotic void, he had almost ignored all matters.
Now, deliberately calling them together clearly indicated something significant.
"I have created thirty-three post-heaven universes, scattered throughout the chaotic void. Select some of the evolved humans and send them in."
"These thirty-three post-heave universes must remain a secret. Don’t let the news spread. Try to choose first and second-stage evolved humans."
Lin Yuan spoke.
These thirty-three post-heaven universes were the stronghold Lin Yuan had prepared for the human civilization, the final foundation.
According to Lin Yuan’s rules, not only could no one enter, but even the evolved humans of the human civilization couldn’t lock the the exact positions of these the nor locate the the thirty-three post-heaven universes, which were fused into the deepest parts of the chaotic void, where even an Invincible Grand Saint couldn’t approach them.
These post-heaven universes, which could only be exited but not entered, and were immune to great destruction, would continuously supply the human civilization with fresh blood.
"Milky Way, what are you doing?"
Xuan Yuan, the supreme expert, sensed something amiss and couldn’t help but ask.
Deliberately creating thirty-three post-heaven universes and keeping it a secret—
It felt like he was making arrangements for the worst.
The other supreme experts looked at Lin Yuan with concern, their minds racing with speculations.
The only thing that could make the mighty Milky Way Grand Saint prepare like this was—
Breaking through to the thirteenth stage.
"Don’t worry."
Lin Yuan’s expression was calm as he glanced at the supreme experts.
These supreme experts had all come from the home universe, witnessing Lin Yuan’s rise from weakness to invincibility. Beyond respect, they also had feelings for him.
So Lin Yuan offered a slight reassurance:
"It’s just preparation for the worst-case scenario."
