"These five things can't be forgotten," Cao Ya muttered.
His divine sense swept over the remnants of the five celestial incarnations, where spiritual energy had liquefied and was extremely concentrated, and the flesh and blood were also full of energy.
This fearless incarnation was obtained through a forced killing and stored within his inner world as an energy reserve to survive the long dark era.
Within the inner world, there are hundreds of millions of people, and if you include all kinds of other plants and animals, the number will only be more... With so many living beings, the daily consumption is also enormous. Without some means of replenishment, it won't be long before I'm stretched thin and unable to make ends meet...
The efficiency with which my inner world absorbs and transforms chaos energy is insufficient to supply the various needs of so many life forms... According to the normal laws of evolution, my inner world should only have a very small number of single-celled life forms at present. Let alone highly intelligent humans, let alone cultivation that is aiming for four-star, five-star, or six-star levels, even fungi and ferns probably haven't appeared yet...
The minimal losses, however, were more than enough to supply the goods without any problems whatsoever...
However, the reality was not that kind of normal evolutionary process...
The energy provided by these celestial incarnations could probably sustain us for three to five hundred years, right? The remnants left behind by a celestial being after death are very unique, exhibiting a whale fall effect...
However, one still needs to improve one's cultivation level in order to expand one's inner world, increase the efficiency of converting chaotic energy, and directly address the root cause... Relying on the remnants of the Heavenly Incarnation is only a temporary measure and cannot be relied upon for long...
Cao Ya opened his eyes, shifting his gaze from the inner world back to the outside world. What he saw was no longer the verdant sacred mountain, no longer the valley filled with the fragrance of flowers, no longer the golden wheat fields, no longer the surging sea...
Everything has vanished and been destroyed; this place is now just a dead zone.
"A dark world, a dark age." Cao Ya sighed softly and began to cultivate. He didn't bother looking for Chen Nan. He thought that given Chen Nan's special nature, even if he died, Chen Nan would probably not die.
Furthermore, although the chaos swallowed the edge of the world, making the ruins of the Six Realms smaller, in terms of the original breadth of the Six Realms, even so, it is still as vast as it seems.
In such a vast and dark world, where could he possibly find Chen Nan? It was like searching for a needle in a haystack, nowhere to be found.
Cao Ya felt that it was better to cultivate diligently and strengthen himself.
If I had previously possessed heaven-defying, or even heaven-defying, king-level strength...
Cao Ya sighed inwardly. A four-star Celestial Rank was still somewhat weak in a six-star universe like the [God's Tomb] universe, especially now that the curtain had been raised and the decisive battle had begun.
As time flows by, the desolate, dark earth remains colorless and unchanged.
Several decades passed, and although Cao Ya was unable to enter the system space during this period, his cultivation level had significantly improved, reaching the mid-level of the Heavenly Rank.
His overall combat strength is now probably not bad, even if he is within the high-level Heaven Rank.
As for the pinnacle of the Heavenly Realm, Cao Ya dared not think that far ahead.
Over the decades, he also shattered the remnants of a celestial incarnation, merging that boundless spiritual energy into his inner world to maintain the concentration of spiritual energy.
Within the inner world, many people have died of old age, while many new lives have been born, growing from infants to adults, cultivating profound techniques, and gradually becoming stronger.
The reputation of the Pure White God of Magic, along with his numerous punishments, has deeply penetrated people's hearts, inspiring fear in all living beings.
The inner world is thriving, and its development is increasingly on the right track.
Cao Ya's own cultivation level is also steadily improving, showing a positive trend.
Time continues to flow relentlessly, and on the dark earth, nothing has changed. There is no sign of life; the aura of death permeates the dark world, reflecting the chaotic currents.
Gu Shi
At the foot of the mountain, Cao Ya, sitting cross-legged, seemed to have become a fossil, covered in dust, all life force withdrawn, with only a few fluctuations of divine consciousness continuing.
He sat there motionless, as if he wanted to remain in that stillness forever.
Cultivate in solitude, sublimate in deathly silence.
Several years later, one day, Cao Ya's eyebrows twitched, as if he had sensed something.
"'Purple Thunder Sword Ancestor'?! You're still alive! I knew you wouldn't die! Haha!!" Chen Nan's voice came from the sky, followed by two figures falling down. One of them was Chen Nan, whose bronze skin shimmered with a faint radiance, his long, black hair fluttered in the wind, and his deep eyes were as sharp as blades.
Beside Chen Nan, there was a small golden ball, which looked like a dragon?
"Omi hair, Cao Ya, you're still alive." The little ball chanted a Buddhist prayer with a strange accent, while holding a few spiritual fruits in its hands and munching on them. It hadn't stopped since it appeared.
Cao Ya's body trembled, shaking off the dust. He stood up, smiled at the two of them, and said:
"Chen Nan, Long Baobao, you are still alive after all."
That golden little ball is a baby dragon, an Eastern dragon that has lived for many years but still hasn't grown up. Of course, its strength is still very strong.
Moreover, Cao Ya knew that the Dragon Baby was also the reincarnation of a great supernatural being from an ancient era before the Primordial Era. Originally, he was a powerful and invincible Heavenly Dragon.
With this foundation, the Dragon Baby's cultivation level cannot be lowered even if he wants to.
Cao Ya was born in the human realm and had once given guidance to Chen Nan. He had met this dragon baby and some other people before and knew each other.
"Purple Thunder Sword Ancestor, to be able to see you in the dark world after the Great Cataclysm, this feeling..." Chen Nan whispered, his eyes filled with tears.
"Don't look at me like that! I'm not interested in men!" Cao Ya felt a chill run down her spine, as if she had goosebumps all over her body.
"Get lost!" Chen Nan said irritably. He had absolutely no interest in men, and he even had a child, though he didn't know where that child had ended up.
And what about those relatives and friends? I wonder how many of them are still alive?
Chen Nan thought about it, feeling saddened.
Therefore, when Chen Nan encountered the dying dragon baby a few days ago, and now when he met Cao Ya, he was very excited and his eyes were filled with tears.
"Oh my hair, Cao Ya, you've become even more powerful." The little dragon baby finally finished eating the spirit fruit and patted its round little belly.
Upon closer inspection, Chen Nan indeed discovered that Cao Ya's cultivation had reached the mid-level of the Heavenly Rank.
"Aren't you the same?" Cao Ya smiled slightly. Chen Nan and Long Baobao's cultivation levels were much stronger than before.
"Purple Thunder Sword Ancestor, you unleashed high-level Heaven Rank combat power with only a low-level Heaven Rank cultivation. That's truly amazing," Chen Nan exclaimed in amazement.
Cao Ya simply smiled upon hearing this.
"By the way, has there been any problem with your inner world?" Chen Nan suddenly asked with great concern. His inner world had indeed suffered considerable damage; many parts of it had been destroyed and were still under repair.
He worried that if Cao Ya's inner world was like this, would those living beings suffer great casualties?
"I was prepared, so nothing went wrong." Cao Ya explained, opening his inner world. Chen Nan breathed a sigh of relief, while Long Baobao's eyes shone and he swallowed hard.
