Chapter 493 Exploring Cosmic Debris and the Feathered God's Mummified Corpse

Chapter 492

On the bow deck of the Doomsday Ark, Rosen released the Elemental Saint, whose memories were parasitized by the Undying Origin Species.

The Elemental Saints carefully left the Doomsday Ark, gradually approaching the endless stream of light emanating from the cosmic debris.

Soon, the Elemental Saint disappeared into the white light, entering a gap that had opened on the surface of the shattered cosmic barrier.

However, the moment the Elemental Saint stepped into the gap, Rosen could no longer sense his Undying Origin Seed.

Some special force directly severed his connection with the Undying Origin Species.

Rosen had considered the possibility of this communication being interrupted beforehand.

Therefore, according to the order he gave to the Elemental Saint, the Elemental Saint should return immediately after the communication was broken.

The Elemental God has not yet emerged; he may be trapped inside the cosmic debris, or he may already be dead.

Rosen then sent out two more eternal beings whose memories had been wiped clean, but they both disappeared silently after entering through different openings.

Clearly, using eternal life to explore the path will only result in throwing good money after bad – a waste of time and resources.

To continue exploring, one must at least possess an eternal life with an undying will.

Such beings exist around him. Although the ancient god's memories were destroyed and his undying will was shattered, as long as the undying will is reassembled and his memories are injected, it will not be difficult to bring the ancient god back to life and make him obey orders.

However, there are risks involved, because destroyed memories can also be reborn.

Although memory is the greatest weakness of the immortal will, it can also be immortal in a strict sense. However, unlike the divine origin and the life origin, which can be regenerated and restored in a very short time, the immortal regeneration of memory is very slow and very difficult.

The immortal will of the Taiyin Holy God reunited in the Night Society, and it took at least billions of years for it to barely regenerate its past life memories.

However, his memories were still disrupted by countless negative spiritual forces until they were completely restored after being purified by the joyful symphony of nature.

Therefore, Rosen is not worried that the ancient gods' erased memories will regenerate in a short period of time.

His concern was that the ancient gods, once inside the cosmic debris, would be like the elemental gods—a lost cause with no return.

An indestructible will is indeed powerful, but the universe possesses the ability to destroy an indestructible will.

In order to obtain the primordial seed of the universe, the Taiyin Holy Gods have all integrated their undying will into the heart of the universe in the starry sky.

However, after the Heart of the Universe was reborn, Rosen did not find any trace of the existence of the immortal will in the new universe, not even the shattered immortal will. At first, he thought that his strength was not enough to find out.

However, after his true form had completely ascended to the primordial life form, he explored the new universe one last time before leaving.

Still, no trace was found, which clearly shows that the undying will into which the Taiyin Holy Gods had merged was truly destroyed.

Aside from the Chaos God's method of autonomously dispersing its undying will, this is the second way that Rosen has identified that can destroy an undying will.

Since the Nirvana of the Heart of the Universe can destroy the undying will, the remnants of the universe may also be able to destroy the undying will.

After much deliberation, Rosen was still reluctant to part with it. After moving away from the cosmic debris, he summoned the Heaven-Opening Axe and brought it down with a single blow.

By directly tearing open a spacetime rift, one can more or less see through the rift to discern the truth from the falsehood.

Even though there was danger, he believed he could handle it.

If one cannot even withstand the danger of being separated by a spacetime rift, then primordial life is far too worthless.

As the spacetime rift was torn open by the axe blade, an invisible and intangible white radiance shot out from it, visible but imperceptible.

Rosen's Creator Domain directly pierced into the spacetime rift, facing the white light.

There is a Root Heavenly Eye within the domain, but let alone seeing anything, the domain that enters the rift has completely lost contact with the Root Heavenly Eye.

Rosen immediately withdrew his Creator Domain, and with all his might, he managed to pull back only a small portion of the domain that had entered the rift. Fortunately, the Origin Heavenly Eye was well protected and undamaged.

He immediately retrieved the Origin Heavenly Eye to examine what it had seen and heard behind the crack.

Just as the domain crossed the space-time rift, a feather appeared out of thin air and severely damaged the domain with a single blow.

Now that Rosen is a Primordial Being, he is absolutely certain that the power the feather is displaying is not at the Primordial Being level.

"Could there be transcendent beings within the cosmic debris?"

Rosen pondered, not surprised.

This was once a universe, after all. The primordial universe could give birth to so many primordial life forms and transcendent beings, so it's perfectly normal for this universe to give birth to transcendent beings. It just seems that this transcendent being is either dead or insane.

Rosen continued to cleave open spacetime rifts, constantly conducting various probes.

He discovered that, apart from the Dark Sun Eye, which remained unaffected, all other forces that ventured into the cosmic debris would inevitably be met with a thunderous attack.

Rosen released Yinglong's clone and peeled off the Dark Sun Heavenly Eye, merging it into the clone's brow.

After a portion of his undying will merged into Yinglong's clone, he carefully passed through the space-time rift cleaved open by his main body.

The endless white light obscured everything, but fortunately, we were not attacked.

Rosen took out the primordial sacred artifact, the Radiant Moonlit Scene, and an endless stream of undying, cold light from the moon immediately radiated into the void.

After ascending to the Primordial Life, he focused on learning the readily available Primordial Holy Laws during his years on the road.

The Taiyin Holy God's Taiyin Imperishable Cold Light freezes all things, while the Chaos Holy God's Chaos Imperishable Divine Light destroys and obliterates all things. These primordial holy laws are primordial holy laws that primordial life has deduced over countless years. It is better to use them directly than to deduce them on his own.

After all, deducing the perfect and flawless primordial holy law is not something that can be done in a short time.

Rosen has deduced for 100,000 years, yet he still cannot compare to these two primordial holy methods.

Especially the undying cold light of the moon and the magnificent moonlight, these two complementary primordial sacred objects.

Primordial artifacts that have not been permanently fused with an undying will are, strictly speaking, only in an incomplete state.

Only by permanently fusing with the undying will can the primordial relic possess the characteristic of immortality.

Even if an eternal being possesses an undying will, it is impossible to permanently integrate that undying will into the primordial artifact. That would be tantamount to extinguishing one's hope of advancing to a primordial being. Only a true primordial being has the surplus undying will to permanently integrate into the primordial artifact.

At this moment, the undying cold light of the Taiyin, imbued with an undying will, continuously froze everything in the world around Rosen.

However, it was empty; there was nothing inside the cosmic debris except spacetime.

Rosen's body instantly became ethereal and merged into the Taiyin Undying Cold Light. Using the moonlight as a medium, he arrived at the end of spacetime that the Taiyin Undying Cold Light touched. Then, he once again released countless Taiyin Undying Cold Lights using the magnificent moonlight.

Although his senses became completely ineffective after leaving the domain, the Taiyin Undying Cold Light could replace his senses.

If something is frozen, he can use his light escape technique to get there immediately.

The universe is too vast; Rosen's approach is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But there's no other way; this clumsy method is the only option.

After hundreds and thousands of years of exploration, the undying cold light of the Taiyin finally came into contact with something beyond the void of space and time on this day.

This time, Rosen did not use his light escape to approach immediately, but instead slowly approached along the undying cold light of the moon.

At the same time, it releases more of the undying cold light of the moon, carefully freezing anything it touches.

Only when they got close did they unleash their domain to envelop the things he had frozen.

It is at least tens of light-years long and looks somewhat like a bird, but it has no feet, only wings. Half of its wings have disappeared, leaving only a horrific wound. Almost all of its feathers have fallen off, and its flesh has dried up, showing no signs of life.

Rosen didn't examine it closely; instead, he carefully placed the corpse into the Moonlit Splendor. Then, when the main body periodically used its clones as locations to sever spacetime rifts, it could send the corpse out of the cosmic debris.

A few days later, the once-a-week spacetime rift appeared on time.

The magnificent moonlight traveled through the gap in time and space, and Rosen himself was slightly taken aback when he saw it.

If there hadn't been a discovery, the clone wouldn't have sent out the magnificent moonlit scene.

Rosen immediately removed the corpse from it and then sent the Moonlit Splendor back to the space-time rift and gave it to Yinglong's clone.

Inside the Miracle Star Sea, Rosen carefully examined the corpse.

Based on his initial assessment, this was the body of a transcendent being.

However, he found no information related to the immortal will in the dried flesh and blood of the corpse.

Rosen discovered another power different from the Undying Will. This power is the ultimate evolution of the pure life origin. Through the infinite growth of the life origin, one can eventually obtain a body even more powerful than the Primordial Holy Body.

At its peak, this corpse could probably be smashed to pieces with a flap of its wings.

However, this powerful being had its wings torn off and its blood drained.

The cause of death was that the brain was burned, which is the most fatal weakness of this life.

Because this life form, which is even more powerful than the original life form, does not possess anything like spirituality or soul.

The memories stored in the brain are the only self-awareness of this life.

So once the brain is destroyed, the life ends.

At the beginning, the corpse should still be able to move instinctively.

It wasn't until the energy within the corpse continuously dissipated that it finally became this lifeless, mummified corpse.

After Rosen cut open the corpse's abdomen, he dug out enormous bird eggs, each a million times larger than the Earth.

Most of these bird eggs were just empty shells, with only one still showing a trace of life inside.

All the life essence that had been lost from this corpse had gathered into this egg.

It seems that the nutrients from the other eggs have been plundered by this one egg.

Even so, the egg could not hatch.

Although there is still a trace of life, the embryo inside the eggshell is underdeveloped and deformed.

Rosen used his Heaven-Opening Axe to cut open the eggshell, and there wasn't a trace of egg liquid left inside.

One of the deformed, footless, bird-shaped embryos twitched incessantly within the eggshell, its death throes having raged for who knows how many years. Its immense vitality brought only endless suffering.

Rosen dissected the embryo alive and removed a piece of its underdeveloped brain.

The main god computer, enhanced by the Miracle Star Sea, immediately transformed into a biological intelligent brain that parasitized and merged into this underdeveloped brain.

Sure enough, there was a reward; some inherited memories were stored in the brain.

All life has inheritance. This kind of life has no spirit or soul. Its inheritance is either through the bloodline or the brain. No memory inheritance has been found in the blood of the embryo. Fortunately, some memory inheritance exists in the underdeveloped brain.

As the memories stored in his brain were continuously analyzed, Rosen learned about the past of the cosmic debris not far away.

Not all universes gave rise to as many life forms as the primordial universe.

This universe is called the Void Universe, and the only things in the entire universe besides the endless void are the Primordial Ocean of the Universe.

Only nine life forms were born in the void universe, and they were born beyond the original life forms.

These nine beings are all bird-shaped but have no feet. They fly eternally in the endless void, never landing, and almost never stopping. The void and the universe are too small for these nine bird-shaped behemoths.

Therefore, they left the void universe very early on and frequently traveled to other universes in the endless deep space.

Some universes are weak and inevitably have their origins plundered by them.

Other universes also have powerful beings of the same level, whom they cannot defeat but can still escape unscathed.

As countless years passed, the void universe grew stronger and stronger by constantly plundering the source.

At that time, the endless void was not completely dark, but rather filled with colorful and radiant light. The spacetime origin of the endless void was very abundant, so it was easy to distort spacetime to travel to other universes.

Until one day, the Feathered God, one of the nine great beasts, was roaming freely in the endless void.

Suddenly, the void was enveloped by endless white light, and the Feather God lost all ability to perceive the outside world. He was then attacked by a humanoid life form that looked like a dried corpse. In a very short time, the Feather God was killed and drained of his blood.

When Yu Shen was critically injured and on the verge of death, she did everything she could to try to create a new life in her womb.

The result was, of course, failure. The embryo inside the eggshell had an underdeveloped brain and was unable to hold all of the Feather God's memories to allow Him to survive. It was not until Yinglong's clone captured the Feather God's mummified corpse that these incomplete memories reappeared in the world.

The memory in the brain is not very valuable, because Yu Shen's intelligence is not particularly high.

Feather God was born without the need for cultivation; he could grow simply by eating, so he never mastered a cultivation system.

Rosen had actually seen beings similar to the Feather God before.

Life forms without spirit and soul, consisting only of body and memory, are not naturally intelligent. This is because spirit is the source of wisdom, and life forms without spirit are unlikely to develop higher intelligence. It is already quite astonishing that the wisdom of the Feather God is no less than that of ordinary humans.

Rosen continued dissecting the brain of the Feather God embryo, and dug out a multicolored brain nucleus.

This brain nucleus is the most important life core of the Feather God, second only to the brain.

Although the Feather God had limited wisdom and did not create a supernatural system that suited him, he was able to master powerful life talents thanks to his innate brain core. This brain core should be the most valuable relic of the Feather God's mummified body.

The brain nucleus was very small for Yu Shen, about the size of a dozen or so blue stars.

However, it was a bit too much for Rosen. He tried to refine it with his undying will, but the effect was not very good.

This brain nucleus naturally rejects spirituality, and it is almost impossible to refine the brain nucleus with an undying will.

Rosen then used his life essence to refine it, which was very easy at first. However, the life essence required to completely refine it was extremely astonishing. Even if his life essence were a hundred times stronger, it would be difficult to refine this brain core.

Because the items were so good, they became unusable.

Rosen was naturally unwilling to give up. He looked up at the embryo of the Feather God, which was still twitching.

Although it is only an embryo, the life force within it is already incredibly amazing.

The primordial life's undying will is unique. No matter how strong the clone is, it can only possess an eternal will, or the original body can separate its own undying will and integrate it into the clone. Therefore, the primordial life's clone can only reach the level of the evil life at most.

However, if the clone absorbs the life essence of this embryo, it might grow to be no less than the original life form.

If one could even control this brain core, he might even surpass the original in the short term.

Rosen wielded the Heaven-Opening Axe, tearing open a rift in space and time, replacing the Yinglong clone with the Death God clone. The Feather God, being a bird-like life form, was relatively more compatible with the Yinglong clone. By mastering the Feather God's life talent, the difficulty of traveling to other cosmic remnants would be greatly reduced.

Yinglong's clone stared at the convulsing embryonic bird before him, feeling the difference in their life essence and unable to bring himself to eat it.

The difference in their life essence was too great; he had no doubt that his own life essence would be plundered by this embryo.

However, since the Lord has sent him back, he must have already thought of a solution.
