"..."
Yun Shou blinked.
Upon his arrival, he discovered that he was sealed inside a crystal.
Within a crystallization of time.
But this wasn't a trap set by the former Dao Lord to capture him; he was simply teleported into the interior of this crystal after passing through that passage.
He extended his spiritual power outward and discovered that he was located at the very core of a universe called "Xuan Gu Shi Huang".
"Xuan Gu Shi Huang" should be the universe in the ancient Boundless Sea that corresponds to "Yi Nian Chen Ke".
However, after undergoing long periods of change across different timelines, the two are now worlds apart.
In the midst of "the hardships of different years," fragments of time are cut off, like broken pieces. Those nearly collapsed moments turn into dust and are buried layer upon layer at the bottom of the sea of time.
Most of them have rotted away, and perhaps only a few fragments of time contain creatures still struggling for survival.
“Xuan Gu Shi Huang” is exactly the opposite.
In the ancient wasteland, once a great world, a civilization, or a star field possesses sufficient power, they will use the power of time to extract their most prosperous period and make it the cornerstone deep within the sea of time and space.
They separated their once invincible era and live forever in the "glorious past," like a dazzling gem buried deep underground.
In the "future," this universe discards the broken years, burying the waste and rotten soil at the bottom of the sea of time, unfolding one new era after another, full of vitality.
In the "old days," those glorious times deliberately isolated themselves, like a towering mountain standing at the beginning of the universe's time.
If the extraordinary individuals in the Ancient Wasteland want to become stronger, acquire more resources, and reach a wider sky, what they need to do is not to "ascend to a higher level of world," but to "travel through time back to a more glorious past."
"In my future years, the timeline was basically dominated by Tang Ming, and the old era was suppressed."
The 30 time spans during which Tang Ming disappeared are but a drop in the ocean compared to the more than 50 time spans during which he existed.
The old universe has only some remnants and ruins left behind, which serve as a path for certain fully-fledged universe masters who want to change the past.
Yun Shou thought, "As for the Boundless Sea now... even if this ancient universe still exists, it has probably lost all its ancient laws by now, right?"
The thought was only fleeting.
After realizing his current situation, Yun Shou's first choice was not to start simulating.
Although Balala suggested that he enter the Ancient Boundless Sea with a restored simulation opportunity and want him to start the simulation in the Ancient Boundless Sea, he did not accept the suggestion.
After this simulation, Fifteen may become a 30 billion-level cosmic lord (there is no information authority in the ancient boundless sea, but there are information laws), and leap into becoming a time realm lord.
His original form will instead be relegated to second place.
That definitely won't work!
Although Fifteen won't harm him, if he can be the leader, why would he choose to be the second-in-command?
"If I combine all fifty of my annual Return to Truth attempts with a mix of play and hard work, I can replicate over fifty thousand Dao principles. Two thousand years is a small goal, and sixty thousand years would be three billion!"
"Sixty thousand years... it's a long time, but not unbearable!"
After all, it wasn't about climbing upwards from scratch for 60,000 years with a life-or-death struggle, but rather about half-playing and half-cultivating in an invincible manner for 60,000 years.
Yun Shou felt he needed to stand up and walk around, to truly put his cultivation to the test.
I can't rely on a wheelchair anymore!
He wanted to prove that he had also put in a considerable amount of effort on his journey to becoming a Dao Master!
He didn't become a Dao Master entirely by relying on a wheelchair!
He himself endured 60,000 years of hardship in reality, and spent tens of millions of years in the future of returning to the truth to replicate the Dao principles!
Having decided to stop using simulations, Yun Shou used his ability to foresee the future.
Fortunately, even in the old universe, he could still use this ability from the future.
He decided to explore the future first, to check if the surrounding environment was safe, such as whether the old Daoist Master would come knocking on his door in the blink of an eye.
When Yun Shou's spiritual power swept across this universe, he saw approximately 2.3 billion new ancient Dao principles.
However, he wasn't in a hurry to reissue it this time. He had just used Return to True Form a day ago to move Balala's position in front of him, and the Return to True Form cooldown hadn't been restored yet.
Let's first explore this universe in the future, see if those Dao Lords in the Origin Land still exist, and see if the old Dao Lords will come to hunt him down.
Normally, He Yuan, the former Dao Lord, should not appear in the future he foresaw.
But this is the old Boundless Sea; perhaps his authority is even higher here.
We need to test it out to find out.
Yun Shou headed straight for the location of the Void Gate in the future.
He came to nothing.
"Well, it seems that it's because we switched to a different old universe, or this universe shifted during the time it split, causing the original virtual gate coordinates to not match."
He returned to the ancient, scavenging universe.
Because there are many top experts there.
In some severed periods of time that have settled at the end of spacetime, there are many powerful True Immortals who possess hundreds of millions, or even billions, of Dao principles.
Don't underestimate this number, because "Xuan Gu Scavenging" is a universe with a time limit!
It is not the kind of immortal universe that has been transformed by the Lord of the Universe and has existed for countless trillions of years. It has only existed for 670 billion years since the beginning of time.
To be able to replicate more than a billion Dao principles in such a short time... an ordinary Daoist temple could no longer do that.
Even a very powerful Taoist temple won't do!
No matter how well a Taoist temple does it, it can't do it!
This can only mean that those true immortals are definitely a group of very senior ancient gods from beyond the universe!
This shows that they have gone through countless cosmic eras, and their proficiency in replicating the Dao principles is extremely high.
They travel through countless universes and certainly know more than most wandering immortals.
Someone must know the location of the nearest illusory gate.
Yun Shou locked onto a bright yellow Time Amber crystal. Because he did not possess the ancient Dao principles, he could not break the crystal and enter the ancient time within it.
It's alright, he just grabbed a True Immortal from the roadside and had that True Immortal take him inside.
This piece of Time Amber belongs to the "Celestial Realm".
Currently, in the Azure Heaven Realm, the highest level of the Sea of Time and Space, powerful races of the four realms are extremely rare, and those of the fifth realm are even rarer.
But what is isolated within the amber of time is the "celestial realm six hundred billion years ago".
True immortals are everywhere, while those in the Six Realms are no better than dogs.
Among them was an ancestor who was known as the number one scavenger in the ancient times!
When Yun Shou arrived at the house made of immortal jade, the door was pushed open.
An old man with bull horns on his head respectfully pushed open the door for him. This old man was none other than the number one Xuan Gu Scavenger with a value of 1.9 billion.
Behind the door, a man in blue robes raised his cup in a gesture of respect at the tea table.
Hello, future.
