Chapter 767: Primordial Five Paths
Chapter 767: Primordial Five Paths
In the midst of chaos, Lin Yuan's dormant consciousness gradually awakens.
"Have I arrived in the fourth Origin World?" Lin Yuan extends his consciousness to investigate his surroundings.
At this moment, he has yet to comprehend the concept of 'eyes'.
Everything relies on his own perception.
"This time, my vessel is a divine stone, a Primordial Divine Stone," Lin Yuan thinks to himself.
After becoming a Time Being, he can choose his vessel when entering through the Multiverse Gateway.
And this time, Lin Yuan has chosen a Primordial Divine Stone as his vessel.
He has no other choice; this Origin World is in its infancy, and everything is in a chaotic state, limiting his options.
The Primordial Divine Stone is the first divine stone nurtured by this Origin World, and its innate talent is quite remarkable, making it one of Lin Yuan's best choices.
"The Great Dao manifests, and the Origin flows, tsk tsk..."
With just a cursory scan, Lin Yuan senses the vibrant vitality of the surrounding world.
In the early stages of an Origin World's birth, the entire dimensional space has yet to take shape.
During this time, the most precious Origin Path, which is invaluable to sentient beings, manifests without any concealment.
Even a pig living in such a cultivation environment would effortlessly reach Rank Twelve Perfection.
Moreover, during this period, the Time River has not yet condensed.
In other words, all life born during this era is inherently free from the constraints of the Time River.
There is no need for the ultimate leap from Rank Eleven to Rank Twelve.
As long as they don't meet an untimely end, they are guaranteed to possess the qualifications to challenge the path of a Time Being.
Furthermore, the lives born during this era, whether in terms of talent or aptitude, are extremely powerful.
It can be predicted that in the long years to come, this world will essentially be ruled by the first batch of lives born in it.
"According to the normal timeline, this Primordial Divine Stone will, after a long time, give birth to a powerful primordial life," Lin Yuan thinks to himself.
This is the result of his observations of the future timeline.
"Now that I've arrived, there's no need to wait for eons to pass," Lin Yuan's thoughts stir, and infinite primordial chaos energy from all directions surges towards him.
Passive cultivation is vastly different from active cultivation, especially for Lin Yuan, a Time Being, whose efficiency in active cultivation is astonishingly high.
In just one month, the Primordial Divine Stone that Lin Yuan has entered, smoothly takes form.
Unlike the life nurtured within the Primordial Divine Stone, taking form directly from the stone maximizes its potential.
"Finally, I can move freely," a smile appears on Lin Yuan's face.
Before taking form, his essence was still that of the Primordial Divine Stone, making it difficult for him to move.
This was the restriction imposed by the Great Dao of this Origin World.
But after taking form, he need not abide by those restrictions anymore.
"The Origin World's consciousness doesn't seem to be paying much attention to me?"
In the instant of taking form, Lin Yuan faintly senses an invisible force descending upon him, only to withdraw in the next moment.
This must be the consciousness of the Origin World.
Lin Yuan's early transformation is an anomaly, defying common sense.
Normally, the first being to walk this Origin World would not be Lin Yuan.
But now, he has achieved it, clearly surpassing the Origin World's consciousness's estimation.
In fact, even a Time Lord like the Light Master, who pays a tremendous price to merge into an Origin World during its infancy, would not dare to do as Lin Yuan has.
They would be immediately detected and erased by the Origin World's consciousness.
After merging with a dimensional space, a Time Lord's strength diminishes significantly, leaving them with little power to protect themselves.
The outcome of facing the Origin World's consciousness in such a state is unimaginable.
Therefore, even if Time Lords can observe future timelines and know of various opportunities, they dare not take any action.
The numerous advantages and opportunities in the early stages of an Origin World are mostly predetermined, and outsiders dare not interfere.
But Lin Yuan is different. He enters this Origin World through the Multiverse Gateway, which is considered as perfectly integrated, even if the Origin World's consciousness scrutinizes him, it will only consider him as a native life.
In the eyes of the Origin World's consciousness, Lin Yuan is no different from the other nurtured lives; they are all its children.
As for Time Beings who infiltrate? They are nest parasites, and once discovered, they will be erased without hesitation.
"Let's take a stroll."
Lin Yuan immediately begins his journey across the land of this nascent Origin World.
At this moment, the essence of the Origin Path is in full operation, and the most precious essence of the Origin Path, invaluable to Time Beings, is comprehended with minimal effort.
"The nature of the Great Dao's origin and rules in this Source World is truly unique."
Lin Yuan's eyes lit up with excitement. The essence and rules of the Great Dao's origin varied across different dimensional spaces, which was why time beings like him had to explore each realm.
And this Source World was no exception.
Compared to other dimensional spaces, the Source World held a higher position and essence, offering greater assistance to Lin Yuan.
"Aside from understanding the naturally manifested essence of the Great Dao's origin, I can also study the first primordial lifeforms born from this Source World."
Lin Yuan's thoughts turned inward.
What was the most precious thing nurtured by a Source World? Treasures? Rare artifacts? Or weapons?
None of the above.
The most valuable were lifeforms.
Only life held infinite possibilities and the hope of breaking free from constraints.
Especially the first batch of lifeforms born during the Source World's infancy, each held countless secrets of the world.
The first Source World that Lin Yuan explored gave birth to its first lifeform, the 'Abyssal Dragon', an exceptionally unique and powerful being.
Had the Great Overcome Ancestor not become a time being first, this 'Abyssal Dragon' likely would have achieved that status.
"The first batch of primordial lifeforms born in this Source World numbers three thousand. In the distant future, they are known as the Three Thousand Chaos Gods."
Lin Yuan observed various future timelines, and these three thousand primordial lifeforms started with the strength of the twelfth rank, with the most powerful ones even approaching the level of time beings.
Of course, that was after they were fully nurtured.
As for now? These three thousand lifeforms were still in the process of being born.
At best, they had barely formed a faint consciousness.
"Coil! Coil! Coil!!!" Within a chaotic-colored chaos egg, a consciousness slowly coalesced, repeatedly uttering the word 'Coil'.
At that moment, a young man appeared beside the egg.
The consciousness inside the egg was startled and momentarily confused. In its understanding, it had never imagined that an unknown lifeform would approach so closely.
"Who... who are you?" The consciousness within the egg asked, a natural question filled with curiosity.
It was curious as to why Lin Yuan could appear here, right in front of it.
"Who am I?" Lin Yuan examined the egg, top to bottom.
In the normal timeline, this egg was the first primordial lifeform born from this Source World, and also the most powerful one.
In the distant future, the lifeform within this egg, guided by the Source World's consciousness, would slaughter the other 2,999 Chaos Gods, eventually opening up the world and helping the Source World smoothly pass through its infancy.
"Yes, who are you?"
The consciousness within the egg continued its inquiry.
"You don't need to know who I am." Lin Yuan shook his head. "Now, don't resist. Let my power seep in."
As the first Chaos God nurtured by the Source World, the egg's future strength would approach that of a time being. Its essence was incredibly powerful, a rarity in the world. Unfortunately, its destiny was sealed, and it could never truly become a time being.
The Source World nurtured the egg to help itself through its infancy, and the same was true for the other 2,999 Chaos Gods.
This piqued Lin Yuan's curiosity about the egg's essence. What kind of power could make the egg so close to the strength of a time being in the future?
"No, I want to resist."
The consciousness within the egg instinctively tried to repel Lin Yuan's encroaching power.
"If you dare to resist, I'll kill you," Lin Yuan said calmly.
In truth, he was merely bluffing. The Source World's consciousness closely monitored the egg, and any attempt to harm it would be stopped.
The Source World's consciousness allowed Lin Yuan some leeway, but it would never permit the disruption of the evolutionary process.
The egg and the other 2,999 Chaos Gods were crucial to the Source World's evolution, and their survival was paramount.
"Kill me?" The egg's consciousness sensed the threat. "Then I won't resist."
"Good," Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction.
These Chaos Gods' consciousnesses were not yet fully formed, and their minds were easily deceived.
Soon, Lin Yuan had thoroughly comprehended the essence within and without the egg.
Throughout, the Source World's consciousness kept watch, ensuring Lin Yuan didn't harm the egg.
As for what Lin Yuan understood about the egg's essence, the Source World's consciousness didn't mind, as long as the egg remained unharmed.
"Alright."
Years later, Lin Yuan had almost completely comprehended the essence of the Chaos Egg, and he stood up to leave.
"You... you're leaving?" The consciousness within the Chaos Egg watched Lin Yuan's departure, suddenly feeling a bit reluctant.
Although Lin Yuan was extremely domineering and forced it to open up, the occasional exchanges between the two over the years had made the consciousness within the Chaos Egg feel rather cheerful.
"Hmm?"
After Lin Yuan left, the consciousness within the Chaos Egg suddenly discovered a secret art in the depths of its mind.
"What's this?"
The consciousness within the Chaos Egg was curious and speculated that this secret art was left behind by Lin Yuan.
"Practicing this secret art should allow you to change your destiny."
Lin Yuan walked on the land of the newly born Source World, and before leaving, he intentionally left behind a secret art for the Chaos Egg's consciousness.
The purpose of this secret art was to allow the consciousness within the Chaos Egg to retain a trace of soul force for reincarnation at the moment of death.
The Chaos Egg was born as a tool for the Source World's consciousness to promote its evolution. As for why it would die, it was because once the Source World completed its evolution, the Chaos Egg would no longer be needed.
However, not being needed didn't necessarily mean death, and this was also Lin Yuan's attempt to test and negotiate with the Source World's consciousness.
Moving on.
Lin Yuan continued to walk on the land of the Source World, contemplating the essence of the other two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine Primordial Chaos Gods.
These three thousand Primordial Chaos Gods were the 'products' of the Source World's nascent period, born with the Source World's consciousness expending immense energy. After this period, the lives born would no longer receive such treatment.
Therefore, Lin Yuan specifically studied the essence of these lives, which was also a way to compensate for his own shortcomings.
Giving birth to life, especially lives with powerful innate talents, strength, and potential, was not an easy task.
And so.
Time passed, and a hundred years had gone by in the blink of an eye.
Chaos Void.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.
Countless insights flooded his mind, and his inner universe continued to tremble.
Understanding the essence of the operation of the fourth Source World's Great Dao Origin, Lin Yuan's inner universe became increasingly perfect.
"In a hundred years, my inner universe has undergone numerous transformations, but it has always been improving. As for true perfection, I feel it's still a long way off."
Lin Yuan sighed in his heart.
The gap between imperfection and perfection was vast. Although there was only one rank difference between a Time Being and a Perfect Time Being, the feeling was like that of heaven and earth.
The advancement from a Time Being to a Perfect Time Being was much greater than that from a first-rank Time Being.
"No wonder many Time Lords choose the path of Perfect Time Being for their ascension. Other paths of ascension have no end in sight, but with Perfect Time Being, success is success, and failure is failure. You can immediately see the result."
Lin Yuan silently thought to himself. He didn't have such feelings of despair yet.
He was too young and constantly improving, but other Time Lords didn't have Lin Yuan's innate talent.
"My current strength..."
A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.
The hundred years of exploring the fourth Source World was also a time of rapid growth for Lin Yuan's strength.
First was the transformation of his inner universe, which was Lin Yuan's foundation. The transformation of his inner universe would enhance Lin Yuan's overall strength.
The operation of the fourth Source World's Great Dao essence caused Lin Yuan's inner universe to undergo multiple transformations, and his strength also improved multiple times.
Secondly, studying the life essence of the three thousand Primordial Chaos Gods in the fourth Source World also benefited Lin Yuan greatly. The integration of various insights led to the creation of a new technique.
It was called "Five Primordial Paths."
This technique was created by Lin Yuan, gathering all his Great Dao insights. Currently, only the first style, "Primordial," was perfected.
This style originated from the nascent period of the fourth Source World, where everything was in its initial stage, and all things began with the "Primordial."
"Primordial" was an extremely comprehensive technique, capable of both offense and defense, and could even save one's life. Moreover, it was terrifyingly powerful in every aspect.
"Although I've only created the first style of the Five Primordial Paths, its power should have reached the second tier of Time Lords," Lin Yuan judged in his mind.
According to the path of "Infinite Tribulation," Time Lords were divided into three tiers.
There was a gap of hundreds of millions, even billions, of tribulations between each tier.
Time Lords of the second tier were already considered very powerful.
Currently, with his second-rank strength, Lin Yuan possessed abilities comparable to a second-tier Time Lord. The Endless Dimensional Realm's Time Beings had probably never even heard of such power.
