[Over the course of half a year, Qingyuan Heaven had more than three hundred Dao Principles absorbed by the Devouring Universe Spirit Clan, causing a slight decrease in the strength of a group of True Immortals who had replicated the corresponding Dao Principles, and rendering certain spells of some cultivators below the seventh realm ineffective.]
When the corresponding principles no longer exist in the universe, things related to those principles will naturally collapse.
Although the three thousand cosmic remains later restored one hundred and seventy Dao principles to Qingyuan Heaven, overall, it was still a loss.
[After all, at the scale of Qingyuan Heaven, other universes could easily absorb entirely new Dao principles from it, while it would find it difficult to find Dao principles in other universes that it itself did not possess.]
In the past, these losses would have been enough to make the three Dao Lords grieve, but now their essences are all thousands of times stronger, their power exceeding that of a fully-fledged Universe Lord by thousands of times, and they are permanently in the Dao Integration state. Driving the universe to replenish those Dao principles would be much easier for them.
[At 59,000 years old, you have established your foundation and advanced to the fifth realm.]
[The area where Qingyuan Heaven is located is truly an accident-prone zone. These three Dao Ancestors are not only the strongest universe lords within this nearby void gate, but they are also renowned throughout the dozens of void gates radiating outwards!]
[The Lord of the Universe often visits to conduct benevolent cosmic exchanges.]
This means allowing the universes of both sides to come into contact, to undergo a partial fusion, and to sense the principles that are missing between them.
When Universe A receives a Dao principle from Universe B, Universe B must inevitably lose that Dao principle.
Although they cannot exchange their principles without loss, they can use this comparison to understand their own shortcomings, making it easier to find ways to improve in the future.
Occasionally, powerful universe lords will engage in transactions. These lords do not merely occupy a single universe, but adapt to the different laws of multiple universes, becoming "multiverse universe lords."
[The vast majority of their methods involve supplying the secondary universe to the primary universe for absorption, thereby acquiring new principles from the secondary universe.]
[...However, the sub-universe will not be destroyed after those Dao principles are swallowed. Its inhabitants and matter can be transferred into the main universe, leaving only an empty shell.]
As long as this empty universe maintains its basic cosmic structure, it will continue to generate vital energy within itself, and may even evolve life forms.
[In addition to being kept as resource-producing areas, these empty universes can also be used as trade goods, exchanged with other universe lords, and given to them to fill the gaps in the Dao principles they lack.]
[The interior of Qingyuan Heaven actually contains tens of millions of empty universes. Some were dragged back from the outside by the Dao Ancestor, while others, like the Devouring Universe Spirit Clan before them, were spoils left behind after they killed the invading Universe Lords.]
[This number is not large at all, because even if these empty shell universes do not give birth to a universe master and have a cosmic limit, they will be transformed into new universes after the Big Bang. The resources and personnel inside will be continuously moved into Qingyuan Heaven by the Dao Ancestor. Over time, this number of empty shell universes has accumulated.]
After all, Qingyuantian had experienced 31 time spans.
[It is a hundred million times the age that artist you knew in the Nine Heavens, the fully realized Cosmic Lord Apo, experienced.]
"No, none of you have become complete universe masters yet?"
At 210,000 years old, you laid the foundation for the Dao.
[Limited by the 30,000 Dao Seals you already possessed, this Dao Foundation didn't help you achieve immortality in one step; it was merely used to replace a certain Dao Seal.]
[When you left Qingyuan Heaven, each of your acquaintances was assigned an empty universe, and the three Dao Ancestors promised to protect them for you.]
You bid them farewell, promising that you will one day return, bringing everything with you.
They assumed you meant that you would gain your freedom after completing the experiment of the Great Celestial Venerable of Myriad Transformations, but they didn't know you meant waiting until you became the next Dao Lord.
[At 7.49 million years old, you possess 147 extraordinary systems with different parameters from across the universe, nearly half of them.]
[At 8.45 million years old, I've arrived in another universe, but it appears particularly distorted.]
You call it a "higher-dimensional universe."
You didn't dare linger; after a brief investigation, you left.
Which survey?
This universe is divided into two layers, an inner and an outer one, and the differences between the two layers are terrifying.
[The outer layer is a vast starry sky spanning countless light-years, encompassing the myriad worlds of the Great Luo Realm. The prevailing cultivation system here progresses from Qi Refining to Mahayana. Of course, besides this common cultivation system, there are also other extraordinary systems such as those involving magicians, wizards, technology, and incense offerings. Ultimately, these systems also assemble Dao Seals to achieve immortality.]
The inner layer is far more terrifying... it's a continent ninety thousand miles long and wide!
"That's really scary."
[On the continent live ordinary people who experience birth, aging, sickness, and death. These ordinary people live in an era similar to the Middle Ages, where the most important figures include emperors, kings, and popes.]
[Among the common people, there are also cultivators, paladins, qi refiners, martial artists... who seem no different from those in the outer universe.]
Actually, there's a big difference!
[You encountered a figure on this inner continent who appears to be the "Chosen One of the Universe," but this person is a time traveler.]
[However, that boy wasn't a transmigrator from "Earth," but rather, due to some Dao principles, his soul was transferred from the outer starry sky to the inner continent.]
He thought he had just arrived in an ordinary world, and that his identity upon transmigrating was that of an ordinary boy who, upon opening his eyes, was taken in as a disciple by a Nascent Soul stage master.
When his soul transmigrated to the sect "Bright Moon Sect," the young man named Jiang Wen was incredibly excited!
He was originally just an ordinary citizen on a terrestrial planet within the "Abina Star Alliance," living a life at the bottom of society, dreaming of one day being admitted to the alliance's top university and studying abroad!
My favorite genre is novels, especially those based on other civilizations in space. There are fantasy, Western fantasy, and interstellar adventure novels. While the content is fictional, the stories and power systems within them are based on reality.
Jiang Wen knew that those powerful beings who could shake planets truly existed in the endless universe, some even capable of using their extraordinary individual strength to contend with the symbol of power and profit within the Alliance: that super starship!
[Actually, compared to learning knowledge to become a space fighter pilot, Jiang Wen yearns more to cultivate himself into a superhuman, transcending the essence of life and living for thousands or even tens of thousands of years—something even the most advanced gene-editing drugs cannot achieve!]
Unfortunately, he struggled even to get into university, let alone come into contact with those extraordinary beings who existed countless light-years away.
But now everything has changed!
