"That title no longer exists, but it doesn't matter what it's called. It's just a way to better distinguish strength," said Xuanyuan Divine Emperor. "In the ancient magical supercontinent before the Shadow Universe formed, there were beings above the Divine Emperor. Most people call them the Philosopher's Dao Realm, but they call themselves the Third Awakening of Life. The first awakening of life is the ordinary awakening realm, the second is becoming a god, and the third is the Philosopher's Dao Realm."
"Philosophical Realm?" Wang Xiaohai asked, "What's the origin of this name?"
"Because they could use philosophical attacks in the universe they belonged to before." Emperor Xuanyuan explained.
"Philosophical attack?" This was the first time Wang Xiaohai heard this term.
"For example, the sayings follow the laws, constructing the world, and so on." Emperor Xuanyuan recalled, "The existence of the philosophical realm said that only mortals can attack me, so the space he belongs to can only allow mortals to attack him. Or maybe they said that the god fighting me is a pig, so the god in front of me becomes a pig, a complete pig. Or they said that the moment you want to attack me, you will die immediately. If you want to attack them, you will really die immediately, no matter if it is a god or a human! This is the terrifying power of the existence of the philosophical realm!"
Wang Xiaohai simply couldn't imagine it. Could such a being have an opponent and death? This was a difference in level!
"Then increasing your power in this universe is pointless!" Wang Xiaohai said, "Even if you possess power ten thousand times greater than theirs, they can just say your power is zero, and you'll become just a mortal!"
"That's the difference in power levels," Xuanyuan Divine Emperor said helplessly. "No matter how powerful we are, it's only divine power. Even if we can shatter countless galaxies with a single palm, what good is that? It's just a quantitative accumulation. The power of the philosophical realm is the power of rules, or the power of Tao. It's a qualitative change. Whether it's the Supreme God or the Demon Emperor, they are all just mortals in their eyes. They can kill you with just one word!"
"Then who can defeat them?" Wang Xiaohai was curious, "They just have to say one sentence - you can never defeat me." How to defend against the attack of philosophical rules?
"Only those at the same or higher realm can defeat them," said Xuanyuan Divine Emperor. "The Dao power wielded by two philosophers will cancel each other out, like water and fire. Whoever possesses more rule power will have some left over after the offset, and can then strike the other. Of course, the other party has the protection of philosophy, so they won't be killed in one blow."
"So any being in the Philosophical Realm is invincible in the Ancient Universe? How could they destroy the Ancient Universe and the Magic Supercontinent?" Wang Xiaohai was a little confused. "If there was an attack coming, they could just say 'there was no attack coming'."
"Actually, attacks from the Philosophical Realm are only effective against entities in this universe, because within this universe, they are subject to the influence of the Universal Law and will be destroyed by their philosophical attacks." Xuanyuan Divine Emperor said, "If you fight them outside the universe, their Dao power will be useless. And if you attack from outside the universe and then re-enter the universe, your attack will also be assimilated by the universe, unless you have the power to shatter the entire universe in one blow, then the Universal Law will not be able to assimilate your power! The ancient universe was destroyed by a bastard. We generally call him the Ultimate Demon, but no one has ever seen him, and we have no idea what kind of life he was. The Supreme Divine Emperor who left the universe before never returned, so he can't tell us anything about the outside world."
"How do I leave this universe?" Wang Xiaohai asked.
"You've finally asked this question," the Divine Emperor said. "First, you must possess strength superior to that of the Supreme God, that is, to reach the realm of philosophy. Second, you must master the secrets of hyperspace, because the membrane of the universe is hidden somewhere in hyperspace. Only after reaching the realm of philosophy and mastering hyperspace can you find the membrane of the universe and leave this universe. Without mastering hyperspace, you will never find the edge of the universe. Even if you fly in a straight line in one direction for countless years, you will still return to the same place after countless years. This universe is a closed dimension."
"How to reach the realm of philosophy?" Wang Xiaohai asked.
"There was an opportunity before, but there is no chance now. How old are you this year?" asked the Divine Emperor. "Ten million years old?" He thought Wang Xiaohai looked quite young.
"What does age have to do with reaching the realm of philosophy?" Wang Xiaohai didn't understand why Emperor Xuanyuan asked about age.
"The laws of nature in this universe have been modified. A mysterious force is watching." A ring appeared in the palm of Emperor Xuanyuan's hand, locking and isolating the surrounding space, temporarily allowing the two to escape from this universe. "This surveillance power sweeps once every hundred years, imprinting on every life the mark of being unable to break through the realm of philosophy. Unless someone in the universe can reach the realm of God King within a hundred years, it is possible to reach the realm of philosophy! But how is this possible? The speed of cultivation in this universe is proportional to the realm. The fastest way from mortal to True God is a million years. The fastest way from True God to Plane God is ten million years. The fastest way from Plane God to God King is a hundred million years. So, if you want to be born and reach the God King realm within a hundred years, it is not even theoretically possible!"
"Will the power of restrictive rules sweep through in a hundred years?" Wang Xiaohai knew what the inexplicable terror had been. It must be this power that was wiping out the hope of this universe.
Who is targeting this universe? Wang Xiaohai thought about how countless lives have been monitored and controlled by this power for countless years, and an uncontrollable anger spread in his body. Although most lives cannot perceive this power, the universe will definitely remember it. All life born in the universe will have this memory, and the sound of every life's struggle and cry exists in its genes.
"That's right, only a hundred years," said the Xuanyuan Divine Emperor. "I believe you can become the strongest Divine King, but at most you can snatch an innate cosmic treasure and become a Divine Emperor. But forget about reaching the realm of philosophy. No life can ever leave this universe. You can only slowly await its heat death."
"Actually, I'm only nineteen years old this year." Wang Xiaohai said this lightly, words that made the God Emperor's heart unable to bear it and about to explode.
"Ten...nineteen years old?" The Divine Emperor could no longer remain calm. "You didn't lie to me?"
"Why would I lie to you?" Wang Xiaohai asked, "How long will it take for the next round of surveillance?"
"Let me do the math..."
Xuanyuan Divine Emperor paused for only half a second before continuing, "Three years left. Can you reach the Divine King Realm within three years? If you can, you can try to break through to the Philosopher Dao Realm."
"Without reaching the Divine Emperor Realm, can we jump directly to the Philosophical Dao Realm?" Wang Xiaohai asked.
"No, actually, the Divine Emperor Realm and the Divine King Realm are the same." Xuanyuan Divine Emperor said, "The Divine Emperor is a Divine King who has integrated the innate cosmic treasure. His strength is only half a realm stronger than that of a Divine King. My innate cosmic treasure is the Divine Emperor Seal, so both the Divine King and the Divine Emperor can directly break through to the Philosophical Dao Realm. This requires the comprehension of the rules. If anyone is swept by the surveillance power, they cannot comprehend the rules, including me. Life forms over a hundred years old cannot comprehend it!"
Emperor Xuanyuan is worthy of being a person who has lived from the ancient universe to the present day. He knows a lot. Wang Xiaohai really chose the right person to talk to.
