[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have grown another year older. External essence +1%, current external essence is 0.6 times.]
[The familiar notification sound plays.]
[The ninety millionth time it has been heard symbolizes that your essence has increased more than nine hundred thousand times.]
[It is currently the 1st year of the 1st century in the 842nd year of the Yuan Dynasty.]
You have been trapped in this chaos for ninety million years!
[Under normal circumstances, he's practically a demigod.]
[You maintain the false world behind you while struggling to survive within the cosmic membrane.]
That world was too vast; maintaining it required dragging it through the cosmic membrane of matter, which is why you can only travel tens of millions of miles a day, a distance of only a dozen seconds at full speed.
However, they are the anchors of your personality.
[You live a life of hedonism, yet you also uphold the sanctity of humanity.]
You can't imagine the terrifying mental toll and devastation that would take if you traveled alone in the universe for 700,000 years without something to rely on.
Moreover, it's probably not just 700,000 years.
Because you feel you might be going in the wrong direction.
But you dare not turn back, fearing that you are on the right track and that turning back will only waste more time.
[In the chaos, it's hard to discern directions. You've been asleep for too long; sometimes, even a slight turn can cause you to drift off course, potentially requiring you to travel millions of light-years more.]
[After all, the universe is truly vast, with a diameter exceeding trillions of light-years. The straight-line distance from the primordial celestial realm to the interior of the universe is 700,000 light-years. However, if the angle is slightly off, your movement will no longer be passing through the cosmic membrane, but rather walking within it.]
[If it were before, when you could still summon the Lord of the Underworld, that would be fine.]
[You can determine which direction to go if you want to go into the universe based on the direction from which He came.]
But now He refuses to come out. You've eroded His essence too severely, causing that ancient god to remain motionless for nearly a hundred million years.
[A hundred million years wouldn't even be enough to increase the Dao power of many True Immortals by a fraction. Even with the help of Daoist temples and secret realms that can accelerate progress ten thousand times, the Dao power would only increase by a few dozen at most, which is extremely weak compared to the Dao power of the Lord of the Netherworld, which is at least several hundred thousand.]
Therefore, one hundred million years is naturally not a very long time for Him.
Moreover, the Lord of the Netherworld should be more concerned about his own state of enlightenment right now.
Your essential rewards and punishments are interconnected with "power, lifespan, and comprehension"—they are a unified whole!
Even with half its power gone, the Lord of the Netherworld remains incredibly powerful, and immortal true immortals have no worries about their lifespan.
However, for the Lord of the Netherworld, whose essence is 0.517 times greater, His comprehension will decrease to 0.8 times!
[His comprehension is only equivalent to 800 times that of an ordinary creature!]
[999.999... times the comprehension, and there's even a chance to occasionally enter a state of enlightenment, but 800 times? Forget about it in this lifetime!]
Even with special Taoist temples and secret realms, it's useless; it's impossible to bridge such a huge gap.
[You severed the path for the Lord of the Netherworld to improve himself more than 90 million years ago. If He wants to add to the Dao principles again, He has only one chance: to hunt down immortals.]
[Aside from hunting down True Immortals and causing their demise so that the Dao principles directly manifest, the Lord of the Netherworld will have no further opportunity to comprehend the Dao!]
[Of course, He wouldn't be in the mood to come looking for you now; He's probably still figuring out why His understanding has run into problems.]
Having lost your sense of direction, you are left to wander alone through this membrane-like substance.
[843 Ancient.]
Another hundred million years.
As your strength increases, the time your power can sustain that small world will also increase, so your periods of consciousness will only become shorter.
Over the past 100 million years, the total duration of your truly conscious, newly acquired memories is only a few thousand years.
"The normal level is about 2-3 levels of power."
"It's more than three times stronger than before, and it can move over 100 million miles per day."
[Your displacement, including that of this small world, doesn't require your conscious effort to maintain. You only need to provide the corresponding power, and then use various forms of spiritual energy or elemental power to create an automatic template.]
[Right now, you just lie in the small world every day, responsible for sleeping soundly. Every year you wake up for a few seconds to return to your true essence and increase your real nature. Every 100 years, you recharge the small world's energy so that it can continue to operate and move.]
[Interact with the puppets here every ten thousand years.]
You'll just live out the rest of your life at a leisurely pace.
"I must be about 300,000 to 400,000 light-years away from the Yuantian Realm now, right?"
[In the first few hundred years after the destruction of the Primordial Heaven Realm, you traveled tens of light-years.]
[It remained dormant for over 200,000 years, completely undisturbed.]
[Then, for millions of years, it shifted occasionally, until, after millions of years, you began to build small worlds and choose a direction to make that world move spontaneously at a slow pace.]
[Then you gradually expand your small world, filling it with various dolls—people from your memories. You create them based on stereotypes and give them corresponding personalities.]
[844 ancient times, the total distance you have traveled has reached 600,000 light-years.]
[As you grow stronger, the power of the small world naturally increases as well. Since the destruction of the Yuantian Realm sixty million years ago, after you expanded the world to your satisfaction, you have stopped expanding it. Therefore, its movement speed has also increased exponentially.]
[Of course—although you call it a world, it can't actually be called a complete world because it lacks the ability to self-circulate and cannot produce vital energy indefinitely; everything is controlled by you.]
It's actually just a large piece of material, nothing more.
