Li Mu, who left the treetop world, has been exploring the upper world area near the Lingxiao universe for the past 800 years.
Through years of exploration, he discovered that the dark and empty space in the upper world was not empty. In fact, it was filled with a large amount of dark energy. This dark energy was extremely difficult to capture, but the energy it contained was no less than the primordial energy that existed in the higher-dimensional universe, and was even better.
These dark energies not only hinder the propagation of light, but also affect the dissipation of spiritual consciousness to a certain extent. In addition, the high-dimensional universes are shrouded in darkness, which blocks the light emitted from within, making the entire world silent.
During these 800 years, Li Mu also discovered the Qiongzu Universe not far from the Hongmeng Universe. Of course, the "not far" here is relative to the entire Shangcang world. In fact, the Lingxiao Universe and the Qiongzu Universe are separated by at least 10 high-dimensional universes, which is an unimaginable distance for any creature in the high-dimensional universe.
In addition, Li Mu also discovered two dilapidated high-dimensional universes near the Qiongzu Universe. It seemed that their interiors had collapsed long ago and they were already two dead universes. Li Mu guessed that this should be the universe of the man who claimed to be Master Tianyi Hongxi and Master Hongxi he encountered in Tenglong City.
No one knows what happened to the two of them back then, but the master of the high-dimensional universe has fallen to such a state.
Especially Hongxi's master. According to Hongxi, his master might have broken through the shackles of the Hongmeng ancestor and stepped into the existence of the Supreme Creation. However, he ended up with his high-dimensional universe destroyed and his own life or death unknown.
It is worth mentioning that during these 800 years, Li Mu once saw a bright spot flashing in the eternal darkness of the sky, but it was only a moment before it fell into darkness again. Although he felt a little strange at the time, he did not pay much attention to it, and even suspected that he had seen it wrong. However, the scene he saw more than 100 years later completely changed his cognition, making him feel extremely heavy in his heart.
In the same area where the bright spot flashed, 100 years later, a beam of light visible to the naked eye shot through the dark void of the upper world and directly hit the area where the bright spot appeared.
Then there was a blinding spot of light, illuminating a large area nearby. Li Mu immediately used his spiritual sense to investigate the area. He saw the most shocking scene in his life. He saw that at least seven high-dimensional universes in the area exploded simultaneously. It can be inferred that this must have been caused by the beam of light. However, before he had time to take a closer look, he felt hundreds of powerful spiritual senses that were not weaker than his own, and even made him tremble with fear, wandering nearby.
Moreover, these spiritual consciousnesses became more and more numerous and stronger. Seeing this situation, Li Mu decisively withdrew his spiritual consciousness.
At that moment, he finally truly understood the horror of the upper world. In this seemingly dead upper world, the number of high-dimensional universes hidden in the darkness far exceeded his imagination.
At the same time, I also truly realized the cruelty of the "Dark Forest" law. There were at least 7 high-dimensional universes, with countless small universes inside them, and the number of living beings was an unimaginable astronomical number, and yet it was gone just like that!
It is hard to imagine what would happen if his Lingxiao Universe was also hit by that beam of light.
Li Mu speculated that the reason why those high-dimensional universes suffered such a disaster was probably related to the bright spot that flashed a hundred years ago. The bright spot was just a flash. If Li Mu had not happened to be looking in that direction, he would probably not have noticed it. It was just such a flash of light that caused those high-dimensional universes to suffer a catastrophic disaster. Could it be that someone was deliberately monitoring this dark heavenly void all the time? Thinking of this, Li Mu felt a chill down his spine.
After this experience, Li Mu secretly made up his mind that he must be cautious in the future. It would be fine if he was alone, but behind him there are countless creatures in the Lingxiao Universe and even the Qiongzu Universe.
He no longer planned to have any curiosity about the world above, and decided not to explore the unknown areas of heaven easily in the future.
If he could survive the fight with Tianyi, he could just stay in the Lingxiao Universe forever. After all, the Lingxiao Universe was big enough for him to be free and happy, wasn't it?
Now there is less than a hundred years left in the thousand-year agreement between him and Tianyi. Li Mu no longer focuses his energy on other things and meditates on the spot. It is too late to practice and improve his cultivation in such a short time. All he has to do now is to conserve his energy so that he can be in the best condition in the confrontation with Tianyi.
Sitting cross-legged in the dark void in front of the two high-dimensional universes of Lingxiao and Qiongzu, Li Mu felt an unprecedented tranquility. He closed his eyes, his mind clear, and carefully felt every cell in his body, every soul and energy in his sea of consciousness. Everything around him seemed to disappear, leaving only him and the dark void.
Gradually, Li Mu felt that he had entered a very strange state. Although the dark energy around him occasionally passed through his skin, he felt a strange sense of closeness, as if these dark energies had some kind of resonance with him.
He felt that he had merged with the dark void around him, and could clearly sense the flow and changes of the dark energy in the void. He tried to guide the dark energy, letting it flow through his body and merge with his own energy.
However, the result disappointed him. Although he felt that these dark energies had a sense of closeness to him and Li Mu was very cooperative when capturing them, he could not use them at all. It can be said that it was completely different from his existing cultivation system.
In this regard, Li Mu had to give up temporarily and could only study it carefully later.
Suddenly, Li Mu opened his eyes and looked towards the direction of the Qiongzu Universe.
Li Mu smiled bitterly and murmured, "Is the millennium coming to an end?"
There is no time in cultivation. He even felt that he had just closed his eyes and found some feeling of cultivation, but he didn't expect that 99 years had passed.
However, what is coming will eventually come. Li Mu took a deep breath, stood up, put his hands behind his back, and looked calmly at a figure flying at high speed from the direction of the Qiongzu Universe.
