Chapter 69: Transcending Worlds

“I was fortunate to survive the Great Opening Catastrophe, not because my powers are against the heavens, but because I share a faint connection with the Chaos Blue Lotus! That’s why the Great God Pangu spared my life! Otherwise, why wouldn’t the Time Demon God, who once stood on equal footing with me in the Chaos, manage to escape even a wisp of his soul?”

Upon hearing Yang Mei’s words, Luo Hou and the Ancestral Dragon frowned. Among the Chaos Demons, only Yang Mei survived—this was indeed suspicious.

But why did the Chaos Blue Lotus have any connection with the Chaos Hollow Willow? Suddenly, Hongjun Daoist exclaimed in realization, “Could it be that both you and the Chaos Blue Lotus, like me, come from beyond this realm?”

The Ancestral Dragon and Luo Hou turned their gazes toward Yang Mei in surprise. Even among the Chaos Demons, the exceptional ones were not native to this world?

This was truly shocking news! The Chaos Demons were born from the three thousand Dao, regarded as the children of the Dao, the most esteemed beings in the Chaos World! Yet, now it seemed that neither Yang Mei nor the Chaos Blue Lotus were native, and even the strongest Pangu might be from beyond this realm! The three players listened in astonishment, as they never expected such a significant revelation today. This was indeed the greatest secret of the Primordial World! Who would have thought that at the very beginning, in the midst of Chaos, so many secrets were concealed!

Little Loli couldn’t contain her excitement and quickly started a live broadcast on the forum.

“Shocking! The Biggest Secret of the Primordial World: The Great God Pangu Might Not Be Native!”

At this moment, the dark little loli transformed into the editor of the UC Shocking News department, fervently spreading this eye-opening revelation. After all, every woman has a gossiping heart.

Netizens, already on the edge of their seats, rushed to click on Little Loli’s new post upon seeing it, and were equally stunned! “Yang Mei and the Chaos Blue Lotus aren’t natives? Where did they come from? Are they from the Supreme God Realm where the Creator God exists?”

Someone asked in confusion.

“Maybe they’re all from Earth! Haha!” The commenter chuckled after saying this.

Others shared a laugh, but little did they expect that this remark would turn prophetic—it was indeed true!

“So, we all come from one place!” Hongjun couldn’t help but sigh.

Yang Mei nodded, “Long before the endless passage of time, when I had yet to be born into consciousness, after coming into the Chaos World, I gave birth to my own divine soul. I began to trace back deep within my soul, and in the deepest part, I retained a vague memory. I seem to have been stationed next to a pool of the Laws of Chaos, where the Chaos Blue Lotus grew. One day, someone picked the blue lotus, and that would be you!”

Jiang Ping glanced at Yang Mei, wanting to say something but holding back, recalling that it was only a couple of days ago.

It wasn’t some grand and noble pool of the Laws of Chaos, just an ordinary muddy pond, even located in a park where people occasionally tossed trash into it.

However, since Yang Mei had embellished his memory so beautifully, Jiang Ping felt it wasn’t right to shatter his dream. He could only nod in agreement, accepting Yang Mei’s imaginative narrative.

“The Great Catastrophe is over; you all should assume your responsibilities. If any conflicts arise in the future, do not fight within the Primordial World. It was not easy to establish this realm; it was born from Pangu’s self-sacrifice. Should it happen again, saints will not remain unscathed!” Jiang Ping stated calmly, wrapping things up.

As his words settled, the calamity that enveloped all souls was lifted, and the Heavenly Dao transformed from muddied to clear.

All beings felt a wave of serenity wash over them, as if the essence of the world had become vibrantly alive. The principles of the world unveiled themselves, marking the golden cultivation period post-catastrophe! In the outer cosmos, ancient stars resumed their positions, adhering to the paths of the Heavenly Dao as they rotated slowly. Rays of dawn broke through the shadow of calamity, bringing light to the surviving beings.

With just one line, the great calamity ended. Yang Mei, Hongjun, Luo Hou, and the Ancestral Dragon all respectfully responded, “We respect the decree! Protecting this world is everyone’s responsibility.

The stronger the world, the more powerful beings it will give birth to.

As things were wrapping up, Jiang Ping took one last glance at the vibrant Primordial scene before stepping away.

In an instant, time and space shifted, destinies faded, just as people didn’t know how He arrived, nor how He would leave.

With the Creator God departing, the next time might be until the destruction of the Primordial World, and the shattering of Chaos when He would be unable to avoid appearing.

Yang Mei still shouted, “I don’t know how to return to my homeland, back to the original true realm!”

A grand voice resounded from the void: “Transcend this world and shatter the void. I am waiting for you in the true realm.”

At this moment, every being in the Primordial World heard the sound of the Dao, and the great practitioners contemplated it.

“Transcend, shatter the void?”

Yang Mei murmured, the long-dormant passion for cultivation reignited within him.

Hongjun lightly shook his dust and also pondered the true meaning of these words:

“To shatter the void, ‘true’ refers to reality and time, while ‘void’ refers to illusion and space.

Shattering the void means breaking the boundary between reality and illusion, dispelling the concepts of time and space, and breaking free from the chains binding one’s own causality and destiny. Only then can one transcend and arrive at the unique true realm!”

As soon as Hongjun voiced this, Yang Mei, Luo Hou, and the Ancestral Dragon nodded in agreement, affirming this notion!

It must be said that these few were the most gifted and wise beings in the Primordial World. With just four words, they had already grasped the true meaning. However, even knowing the principle, how easy would it be to take that step?

Now they stood on the sacred path, especially Yang Mei, who had cultivated for countless eons. The day he would break through the shackles and become a Tao-level powerhouse was just around the corner, yet transcending still seemed infinitely far away!

“The road is long and dark, but I will seek it diligently on both ends.”

This phrase slowly emerged from the void, and Yang Mei’s figure vanished once more.

The Ancestral Dragon and the others exchanged glances before casting a meaningful look at the three players, then each returned to their own places.

Hongjun ascended, returning to the path of the Dao, rebuilding the Purple Cloud Palace to teach and guide beings, presiding over an era.

Luo Hou, taking Wutian, shattered the void to enter the Demon Realm, taking a seat on the Throne of Bones. Figments of what appeared to be otherworldly demons drifted around, waiting to intervene when any living being attempted to transcend.

Monsters were, after all, the path. The Demon Realm had greatly contributed to the Primordial World; in the future, beings would need to overcome the great calamity of the heavenly demons.

The Ancestral Dragon made arrangements for the three clans and let out a great dragon roar. His being merged with the earth, his body transforming into countless dragon veins to regulate the world’s energy and terrain.

“Is that it?” Little Loli expressed her lingering sentiment.

This day truly brought about too many monumental events. As a girl who loves drama, she felt reluctant to see the mythological developments come to an end.

“Transcend? That last line from the Creator God resonated within everyone’s heart. What does transcendence mean? Could it be that shattering the void will allow game characters to break through the dimensional wall and appear in reality?”

Dragon Shao remarked, growing increasingly fascinated by this game. He felt that he might dedicate his entire life energy into it.

After the great calamity, countless lives in the Primordial World perished, and only four players remained. Ji Lao Jiang had become a mount, posing no threat.

As for Little Loli? Dragon Shao glanced at the dark little loli next to him. Although her thoughts were malicious, she probably still couldn’t rival him in play.

The only one to watch was Wutian, originally named “Everything is Floating Cloud.” He defied fate twice, once failing, once succeeding! Finally, he topped the charts, becoming the first player, placing himself far ahead. He even received a tremendous reward from the system, bringing game power into reality! This made Dragon Shao, who had always viewed himself highly, unable to refute! He was also feeling vexed; he had undergone special training and had his advisors strategizing how to carve out a career in the Primordial World, yet in the end, only Wutian achieved such greatness! Now, the real information about Shama on the black market had skyrocketed. Anyone who discovered Shama’s true identity would become a guest of honor for the state! However, Wutian was so meticulous that he had hidden himself well, and no one had caught wind of any clues yet.

“The power of immortals and the allure of longevity is truly captivating,” Dragon Shao inhaled deeply, the Primordial spirit energy invigorating him, prompting him to voice his thoughts.

Seemingly aware of Dragon Shao’s musings, Little Loli reflected in agreement, “This lady has decided to bet her entire life on the Primordial World! I am certain I can cultivate in reality, achieving eternal life and becoming immune to all ailments!”

The two exchanged glances, fierce competitive flames clashing between them!

Since Shama was able to defy fate in this era, assisting Luo Hou in becoming a saint, it was possible for both of them to rebel against destiny in the next era. Even if they achieved enlightenment and sainthood, who knew what kind of earth-shattering changes might occur? Just as they both contemplated this, a grand system voice echoed in the minds of the four players.
