Chapter 712: Contemplating Creation
On the Primordial River.
Chen Mu's will manifested as stars, hanging above the river's surface.
Feeling the boundless and supreme Primordial Power, he gathered his thoughts and began to contemplate the Creation Way.
"The Creator, the origin of the universe's birth and the evolution of all things."
Although Chen Mu had attained the Way as a Void Lineage Venerated Sovereign, his Training Principles of Creation had also reached the pinnacle of the Ninth Heaven, making his realm equally lofty. He was just a step away from ascending to the position of a Creation Sovereign.
His understanding and comprehension of the Creation Way were naturally profound. The so-called Creation encompassed everything born and transformed within the universe's void, all matter, and the process of change. By exhausting all possibilities and gathering them as one, one could grasp Creation.
To truly comprehend and master the Creation Way, the challenge lay in integrating and synthesizing the five fundamental mysteries of the Void Lineage, which was extremely complex. The Creation Lineage was no exception, representing the five fundamental mysteries of life, Wanling, Zhuxiang, Yin'uo, and Chuangzao. To perfectly harmonize and merge them into one, one needed to thoroughly understand the entire Creation Way on a macro level.
"With my current abilities, I can directly utilize the Primordial Power to contemplate the Creation Way."
Chen Mu's consciousness returned to the Primordial River, speaking to himself thoughtfully.
His will manifested an incarnation within the stars he had created, then gently extended his hand and formed a seal, directing his will towards the Void Way. Instantly, he stirred the river's waters.
Amidst this stirring, a strand of Primordial Power shimmering with seven-colored light emerged from the river and landed in his palm. After circling in his hand, it began to dance around his body.
This Primordial Power was almost identical to the one he had refined from Source Stones in the Yuan Jing, and perhaps even purer.
As a Venerated Sovereign of the Way, with his will residing in the Primordial River, there was no need to delve into the Yuan Jing like the Nine Heavens Deus, seeking Source Stones to refine and aid in comprehending the Way.
A Venerated Sovereign of the Way could directly harness the power of their realm to tap into the Primordial River, extracting Primordial Power directly from its source, which was even purer than the Source Stones circulating in the Yuan Jing.
In fact,
Source Stones were merely the product of the Primordial River's power seeping into the Yuan Jing, gradually condensing under its unique environment. Moreover, most Source Stones were produced by special rules in various specific regions.
The Nine Heavens Deus had to exert their utmost efforts to obtain Primordial Power, but for a Venerated Sovereign of the Way, it was readily available. This was a fundamental ability of a Venerated Sovereign.
However, even though Venerated Sovereigns could freely draw upon Primordial Power to contemplate the Prime Source Way, the difficulty in comprehending the Prime Source Way varied. Those who broke through with the Creation Lineage found it much harder to comprehend the Void Lineage, and even more so for the Age of Time Lineage. Thus, after experiencing a cosmic reincarnation, many still hadn't grasped the second Prime Source Way.
Chen Mu's ability to receive visits and forge connections with many Venerated Sovereigns of the Way was precisely because he had attained the Way through the Void Lineage. Most of those who attained the Way through the Void Lineage could gradually comprehend the Creation Lineage during the next cosmic reincarnation.
Of course,
If one were to speak of the most brilliant and talented Venerated Sovereign of the Way, it would undoubtedly be the Master of Vast and Dim, the palace master of the Vastexpanse Palace.
He wasn't a Divine Lord who had experienced the previous cosmic reincarnation, nor had he witnessed the universe's annihilation and creation. He was born during the universe's initial months, a life in this reincarnation era, who, relying on his abilities, grew step by step until he attained the Way.
Never witnessing the universe's annihilation and creation, nor experiencing the cosmic apocalypse, he was truly a prodigy.
Witnessing the universe's annihilation and creation greatly enhanced one's understanding of the Prime Source Way, and during the cosmic apocalypse, the Prime Source Way became easier to comprehend. However, the Master of Vast and Dim had experienced neither.
It was solely due to his exceptional innate abilities, unparalleled in this cosmic era, that after attaining the Way, he, during the long years of this cosmic reincarnation, gradually comprehended the other two Ways, eventually achieving preliminary fusion. He became one of the four most powerful Venerated Sovereigns of the Way, standing at the upper reaches of the Primordial River, closest to transcendence.
Hiss!
A strand of Primordial Power encircled Chen Mu's fingertip, which he gently sucked into his mouth. Instantly, his will merged with the Prime Source Way, and he directly headed towards the direction of the Creation Way.
In the past, when he was in the Nine Heavens, he refined and absorbed the Source Stones, drawing upon the Primordial Power. During his contemplation, he had little control and could only passively endure the cleansing of the Primordial Power, selecting the parts he needed for his own understanding. But now, having become a Grand Way Sovereign, he could calmly wander amidst the cleansing of the Primordial Power.
He could directly ignore the aspects of the Primordial Power related to the Void and Time, and instead, focus on gathering the power of creation for his contemplation.
"Becoming a Grand Way Sovereign, the elevation in the Life Realm is indeed tremendous. Contemplating the Way of Creation is entirely different from before, much easier. Even during the refinement of the Primordial Power, I still have some spare energy."
A part of Chen Mu's will was focused on contemplating the Way of Creation, while another part of his will remained free, maintaining its independence.
The existence of Divinity Kings allowed for the differentiation of countless thoughts, and after achieving the status of a Grand Way Sovereign, thoughts could differentiate into millions. If Divinity Beings still retained some characteristics of 'mundane beings,' then the Grand Way Sovereigns had already surpassed the imagination of mundane beings, reaching a height beyond their understanding.
Swish!
A part of Chen Mu's mind concentrated on refining and absorbing the Primordial Power, while another part of his mind turned its gaze towards the vast universe. A thought flashed, and an incarnation quietly manifested within the universe.
He did not go to the Huang Yan Kong Zuo or the Primordial Realm but appeared at the edge of the universe.
Boom!
In Chen Mu's line of sight, he witnessed a grand and vast world where millions of beings were born. But at this moment, this world was gradually approaching the edge of the universe, and eventually, it was eroded by the silent aura from beyond the universe.
The entire world began to collapse.
"Ah!"
"The Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth, the Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth, in the end, it's still difficult to escape fate..."
Instantly, within that world, millions of mundane beings perished directly from the tremors of the world. Some powerful beings, though not falling immediately, could only watch helplessly as the world crumbled, their faces filled with despair.
In the end, the entire world completely collapsed and was annihilated, taking with it the demise of millions of beings.
"The journey of coming and going, all is creation. Countless beings, those who can transcend the cycle of reincarnation, are few and far between."
Chen Mu quietly observed this scene without intervening.
Having achieved the status of a Grand Way Sovereign, he felt a sense of compassion for the countless beings in the vast universe. However, the universe's silence was part of the supreme rules, an unchangeable will of the Primordial, and this was also a kind of fate.
Coming and going, the mundane beings, everything, after collapsing and perishing, all transform into the power of creation, reintegrating into the Way of Creation. They are absorbed by the Primordial River, and in the future, when the universe is reopened, they will reappear in another form.
In a sense, for all beings, life and death are just a process, a transformation from one form to another. No matter how they die or are destroyed, it is only their physical bodies that decay, transforming into the most fundamental power of creation, dissolving into the heavens and the universe, without truly disappearing.
This is reincarnation.
Reincarnation is not about rebirth after death, nor is there a world of the dead. Reincarnation is about returning to the Primordial River after one's own demise, waiting for the day in the future when they will flow out from the Primordial River again and surge into the universe.
However, at that time, this part may no longer be a being. It may become mountains and rivers, grass, wood, bamboo, and stone.
"Neither increasing nor decreasing, without beginning or end, this is creation."
Chen Mu's gaze was clear.
At his current realm, his mindset was no longer affected by the life and death of beings, not even by the decay of millions of beings. After all, when one's gaze is focused on the Grand Way, life and death are merely a transformation.
Only the will of the mind can transcend everything. The Grand Way Sovereigns have surpassed that concept, merging their self-will with the Grand Way, completely breaking free from reincarnation. But those who can achieve this step are few and far between.
Chen Mu watched as the world at the edge of the universe was completely silenced, and then he continued to observe the boundary of the universe.
He could see that the boundary of the universe was constantly collapsing, shrinking, and the Void was crumbling. Creation was also collapsing, and the destroyed parts did not disappear but transformed into pure Void power, absorbed by the Void Way. Similarly, the destruction of a world returned to the purest power of creation, absorbed again by the Primordial River.
Chen Mu just took a step forward, walking forward step by step, traveling along the edge of the universe, observing the destruction of a world after world, and also deeply experiencing the operation of the Creation Way and the most essential rules of its mystery.
...
Time passed slowly.
After the universe officially entered the end of the catastrophe, the time of the universe seemed to be accelerated, and the changes produced by each epoch exceeded the changes during the previous "great catastrophe".
The world of Great Proclamation was moved by Chen Mu into the depths of the nine layers of void in the center of the universe, but even so, under the influence of the end of the catastrophe, it was still gradually expanding. The most obvious point is that the lifespan of sentient beings in the world has begun to gradually decline.
In the past, when Chen Mu rose from the humble, the lifespan of ordinary people was often only three or four decades. Although there was chaos in the world, even in the heyday, the lifespan of ordinary beings was only fifty or sixty.
But after he gradually achieved and asked the Divine Lord, the heaven and earth of the world of Great Proclamation changed accordingly, and the heaven and earth energy was greatly nurtured, causing the entire world to transform, and consequently the lifespan and essence of ordinary beings also improved step by step.
In the past,
In the world of Great Proclamation, sentient beings often needed to have root bone qualifications in order to practice martial arts, otherwise they would stop at the Easy Muscle.
But after the heaven and earth energy became more dense, the bloodline of sentient beings improved, and gradually there was no longer a saying of root bone qualifications, and anyone who practiced could cultivate all the way to the Five Viscera Realm, and later even the threshold of the Bone Marrow Realm was not too high.
And even those who did not practice martial arts among ordinary people could easily live to one hundred and thirty or forty years old, and some of those with better physique could even live to nearly two or three hundred years old, and their lifespan had greatly improved, and practitioners did not need to be mentioned.
Nowadays,
Under the influence of the end of the catastrophe in the universe, the lifespan of ordinary people has begun to gradually decrease, from hundreds of years to hundreds of years.
This increase and decrease also conform to the Creation Way, and it is a cycle of reincarnation.
Although the heaven and earth gradually decayed and the lifespan of sentient beings gradually decreased, the number of heavenly prodigies that emerged was also increasing, and in the world of Great Proclamation, the number of Divine Lords was almost as numerous as the stars, constantly emerging.
Even the existence of Divine Lords was constantly appearing, and in just one epoch, ten Divine Lords were born!
Among them,
The earliest Chen Yao, who proved the position of the Divine Lord, also made rapid progress in cultivation, and after reaching the peak of the Seventh Heaven, she took another step forward and entered the realm of the Eighth Heaven, becoming a Divine Lord overlord.
It seems that the world of Great Proclamation as a whole is soaring, but this prosperity is the last glory, a fleeting flower, and other worlds are basically the same, and the existence of Divine Lords is constantly emerging, and the Prime Source Way seems to free the shackles, allowing sentient beings to observe and comprehend, but even so, those who can truly understand the Way are still few and far between.
In the sixth epoch after Chen Mu achieved the position of the Way Sovereign, another Way Sovereign was born, and the Prime Source River illuminated the universe, shocking all sentient beings. But for the other Way Sovereigns above, including Chen Mu, they were not too surprised.
Because at this end of time, the existence of Divine Lords is constantly emerging, and the birth of Way Sovereigns is not strange. Among millions of sentient beings, there are always some outstanding ones who can break through that boundary at this last moment and thoroughly understand the true meaning of the Way.
At the same time,
This epoch also happened to be an event that no one knew about, that is, Chen Mu's Creation Way experience accumulated and reached one hundred million points. For him, who has already become a Way Sovereign, accumulating one hundred million points of Creation Way experience is naturally easy.
And he did not stay too long either, and directly used the system panel to consume this one hundred million experience points, and once again allowed the system panel to present the complete mystery of the Creation Way in front of him, and began to retreat and comprehend again.
As a Way Sovereign of the Void Lineage, although he can also glimpse the Prime Source River and directly observe the Creation Way, he cannot, like the system panel, completely dismantle the Creation Way and present it in the most easily understandable and complete form.
Of course,
At this step, Chen Mu himself has already achieved the position of the Way Sovereign, and the help provided by the system panel is no longer as decisive as it was in the past, and has truly become a tool to assist him in his cultivation.
Even without the system panel, Chen Mu also has the confidence to grasp the complete Creation Way, it just requires more energy and time, and the effect of the system panel is just to speed up this part, allowing him to grasp the Creation Way earlier.
