Chapter 496 Devouring the Universe and Wandering in Deep Space

Chapter 495

In the near-absolute darkness of endless deep space, the Doomsday Ark drags the new universe forward through the void.

They are getting closer and closer to the remnants of the void universe, and no one knows what changes will occur when the two universes come into close contact.

Rosen didn't know either, so he used the life magnetic field to escape into the deep void, and with the help of the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe, he rushed back to the Doomsday Ark as quickly as possible. Even though it was a two-way journey, it still took three thousand years to return to the Doomsday Ark from the void cosmic debris.

Time becomes extremely worthless in the endless depths of space, especially for primordial life.

After Rosen landed on the deck, he left his Yinglong clone to activate the life magnetic field to help the Doomsday Ark accelerate, while his main body had already entered the new universe, preparing to use the power of the new universe to temporarily suppress the Dark Sun Eye, which could go out of control at any time.

It took three thousand years to return to the Doomsday Ark, and four thousand years for the Doomsday Ark to reach the remnants of the void universe.

Seven thousand years have passed, and the new universe has finally arrived before the remnants of the void universe.

The closer they got, the more an instinctive longing arose in the new universe.

Although the primordial sea of ​​the universe inside the void universe remnant was gone, not to mention the heart of the universe, the cosmic barrier was largely preserved. This is because the origin of the void universe disappeared so quickly that the void universe did not have the capacity to be completely destroyed.

The new universe only has its eye on the cosmic barrier of the void universe remnants; whether swallowing it will be good or bad is anyone's guess.

Rosen left the new universe and arrived on the deck of the Doomsday Ark. He put away the chaotic microcosm that was responsible for guiding the new universe, and then instantly transformed into a Void Giant God. He unfolded the life space formed by the life magnetic field, which enveloped the remnants of the void universe and gradually gathered the life space.

If it were a perfectly intact void universe, even the life space of the Void Colossus wouldn't be qualified to accommodate it.

But it was just an empty shell; the life space that Rosen had created was enough to be closed up in a short time.

Rosen brought the remnants of the void universe to the primordial sea of ​​the new universe. In the life space, he wielded the Heaven-Opening Axe with the power of world destruction to cleave the cosmic barrier. The already fragmented cosmic barrier immediately shattered completely, and the life space immediately sent out the fragments to facilitate the new universe's digestion.

As fragments of the cosmic barrier are digested by the primordial ocean of the universe, the cosmic barrier of the new universe begins to change.

It turns out that once the cosmic barrier shrinks to a certain extent, it becomes impossible to shrink it any further.

However, not only can the external plane continue to shrink, but countless internal planes are also beginning to expand in terms of spacetime.

It was at this time that Rosen truly realized that the most precious thing in the universe was not the primordial ocean or the heart of the universe, but the cosmic barrier, because the cosmic barrier is the core entity that truly constitutes the universe.

As for the Heart of the Universe and the Ocean of Origin of the Universe, they are merely derivatives of the universe within the cosmic barrier.

Because the cosmic barrier is the core, breaking the cosmic barrier is tantamount to sentencing the universe to death.

The key to the third-generation new universe's ability to undergo two destructions and rebirths lies in the fact that only the core of the universe was destroyed. If the universe's barriers had suffered irreparable damage, the core of the universe would not have had the opportunity to be destroyed and reborn twice in succession.

Therefore, consuming fragments of the cosmic barrier from the void universe is definitely a good thing for the new universe, greatly increasing its foundation.

However, good and bad often go hand in hand. Although the Primordial Ocean of the Universe and the Heart of the Universe are derivatives of the cosmic barrier, it does not mean that these two are unimportant. Without sufficient Primordial Ocean of the Universe, the internal universe will only be underdeveloped.

The new universe was originally in a state of hunger, and now it has evolved from being hungry to being on the verge of starvation.

If the new universe cannot be fed, it will instinctively expand its size and move rapidly through the endless deep space to absorb the origin of spacetime. Then, it will unknowingly be hated by the endless deep space, and Rosen dares not even imagine what it will eventually encounter.

Rosen's first reaction was to stop feeding the new universe and prevent its cosmic barriers from growing further.

However, just as he was about to discard the remaining fragments of the cosmic barrier in the void universe, the new universe itself was already starving to the limit. The new universe instinctively wanted to expand, but Rosen's immortal source seed, which was integrated into the heart of the universe, suppressed the expansion.

Under the contradictory clash between this instinctive expansion and active inhibition, the new universe has undergone new changes.

The fragments of the cosmic barrier that the new universe consumed no longer merged into the cosmic barrier itself, but instead merged into the cosmic primordial ocean and were broken down into cosmic primordial energy. With an inexhaustible supply of cosmic primordial energy, the new universe, which had stopped growing, quickly became satiated.

Rosen arrived at the primordial sea of ​​the universe and used his life magnetic field to collect some substances invisible to the naked eye.

This is a special substance remaining after the fragments of the cosmic barrier were decomposed by the cosmic primordial sea, apart from the cosmic origin itself. It is this substance that, combined with the cosmic origin, constitutes the cosmic barrier of the void universe. This substance is difficult to observe by any known means other than biological magnetic fields.

Rosen used the Miracle Star Sea to decompose, assimilate, and analyze this substance, discovering that it was a special kind of extraordinary source material.

According to the classification of extraordinary attributes, this extraordinary source substance should be called Void Source Substance.

The levels of extraordinary source matter vary. Source matter is defined as the most fundamental substance of extraordinary power. Different levels of extraordinary power will form different levels of extraordinary source matter. The extraordinary source matter of different extraordinary systems will usually have different names.

These void source substances are at a level one level higher than the original level.

If these void essences are used to create treasures, it is possible to create treasures that surpass the original sacred artifacts.

If spatial abilities are incorporated, it is possible to obtain skills that surpass the original holy magic.

Rosen took out the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe and tried to integrate the Void Source Essence into it. As expected, the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe accepted everything.

He then took out some Void Essence and integrated it into the life space generated by the life talent of the Void Giant God.

After the space formed by the life magnetic field merged with the void source matter, the space formed by it experienced an astonishing increase in both strength and size. He immediately and without hesitation merged the remaining void source matter into the life space.

Repairing the Heaven-Opening Axe is certainly a good thing, but the life space belongs to one's own ability.

Although the life space talent originated from the Void Giant, the life space is composed of Rosen's own life source forming a life magnetic field. Therefore, if this life space becomes stronger, it will help him suppress and completely digest the Void Giant's life source.

As the final fusion of the void essence ended, Rosen sensed the changes in the life space.

With a thought, he unfolded his life space, and then used the life space to open a portal to travel through time and space.

The spacetime portal that originally relied on the laws of nature had become ineffective in the endless deep space, but now it can be reopened by relying on the life space. Although the teleportation distance is vastly different from that inside the universe, it is no less than the spacetime rift cleaved by the axe that opened the heavens.

If the two methods are used alternately, the travel speed in the endless deep space will inevitably become faster.

Rosen extended his life space to encompass the new universe. Logically speaking, even if the life space is now enhanced beyond its original level, it should be impossible for it to encompass and take away the new universe. However, as expected, the new universe remained quietly in the life space.

It is highly likely that the cosmic barrier of the new universe merged with the void source matter, and the life space also merged with the void source matter.

The shared void essence endows the living space with a special capacity to support the new universe.

Now we can carry a new universe with us, and traveling to the remnants of a neighboring universe will take less than 10,000 years at most.

Rosen looked at the spot where the endless deep void cosmic remnant had originally stood. Now, as the cosmic remnant disappeared, the void was shrouded in the darkness of night, and from it, a Night Parasite Flower, which the Night Eye in his eyes so desperately desired, actually grew.

He immediately activated the Eye of Night, and the Night Parasite that he had locked onto immediately disappeared and then merged into the Eye of Night.

Rosen clearly sensed that the Eye of Night had grown remarkably in that instant, rivaling even the Dark Sun Eye. The Eye of Night had also begun to transform. The imbalance of power between the Dark Sun Eye and the Eye of Night had been easily resolved. His only concern now was controlling the two transformed eyes.

The endless deep space cannot predict the future, and even if we could predict the future in the new universe, we still could not predict existences beyond eternity.

Rosen could only take it one step at a time, releasing Yinglong's clone to pilot the Doomsday Ark on their way.

With the Heaven-Opening Axe, the Time-Space Transcendent Gate, and the Doomsday Ark shrouded in a life magnetic field that allows it to escape into the deep void, they use whichever of the three means of travel is off cooldown, silently approaching the next cosmic debris in the endless deep space.

Rosen himself also fled into the new universe, using it to suppress the life essence of the Void Giant.

By instantly accelerating time, we can deduce a more complete and powerful primordial holy law.

Time goes by day after day, year after year, and Lawson is constantly growing.

Because his life essence was severely excessive, he absorbed his own life essence through the power of the root, transforming it into divine essence. He then used the divine essence to generate eternal will, and finally sublimated eternal will to obtain more immortal will.

Six thousand years later, as they were about to reach the next universe, Rosen's undying will had exceeded five thousand.

Moreover, the total number of the three elements simultaneously exceeded five thousand, which means that the total amount of the Undying Will has exceeded fifteen thousand, making it five times stronger than when he first advanced to the Primordial Life. The strength of the Undying Will also directly led to a further increase in his travel speed.

So in just six thousand years, they have arrived at the next cosmic debris.

Yinglong's clone naturally took on the responsibility of scouting, venturing deep into the cosmic debris under the mysterious white light originating from the Dark Sun Eye.

However, this time it was not attacked. Although the Dark Sun Eye had not yet completed its transformation, it could already see things under the mysterious white light. Yinglong's clone easily arrived at the center of the universe.

The entire universe contains neither matter nor energy, just like the void universe.

Moreover, there is no Void Colossus-like being here, only a white sun that constantly emits mysterious white light.

Rosen tried to control the white sun with his Dark Sun Eye, but he couldn't. However, his Dark Sun Eye could absorb the white sun.

As the white sun merged into the Dark Sun Eye, he once again deployed his life magnetic field to envelop the cosmic debris from the outside.

This time, he doesn't even need to transform into a Void Giant; his own life space can do it.

The primordial ocean of the new universe still integrates half of the cosmic debris into the cosmic barrier, and then decomposes the half of the cosmic barrier into the cosmic origin. However, this time what remains is no longer void matter, but a special source substance that is difficult to identify.

Rosen tried to integrate his various abilities, but he could not integrate any of them with this special source.

In the end, he could only keep it as a keepsake and use the Eye of Night to absorb the Nightfall Parasite that was formed after the cosmic debris disappeared.

It took six thousand years to travel, but less than a year to completely devour a cosmic remnant.

Reluctantly, Rosen continued his journey, beginning his endless, timeless, and boundless journey through deep space.

Ten thousand years passed, and the new universe successively devoured the remnants of the third and fourth universes.

The special source material he gained from these two harvests was still useless. The biggest gain was that his own Trinity Undying Will had grown to 10,000 points each. It seemed that the two had reached the limit of primordial life, and he could not continue to digest the life essence of the Void Giant God through the growth of his Undying Will.

The notion that the primordial life's indestructible will has no upper limit is simply because the Holy God of the Moon and the Holy God of the Void have not reached their limits.

Five thousand years later, when he arrived at the fifth cosmic debris, Rosen finally made a new discovery.

The special source of essence he obtained this time was actually time essence. Since the life space is pure space and cannot be integrated with time essence, he chose to integrate time essence into the historical camera, which directly caused the historical camera to transform into a miraculous treasure that transcends the original level.

Originally stuck in the Eternal level of the Miracle Sequence, it directly skipped the Primordial level and reached the Transcendent level.

However, although the Miracle Sequence has been upgraded, the other Miracle Treasures fused with it cannot be simultaneously sublimated to the Transcendent level. Instead, they can only grow to the Primordial Relic level at most. This result has already greatly surprised Rosen.

For the next few millennia, Rosen studied historical cameras that had undergone leapfrog transformations.

This thing can already influence time even in the endless depths of space. It can't capture the future, but it can capture the past. This means that after arriving at the next cosmic debris, it may be able to see the history of the next universe through a history camera.

At the sixth cosmic debris site, Rosen eagerly set up his historical camera.

It succeeded and failed. The history camera can indeed see the past, but the destruction of the cosmic debris was too far in the past. The time source that the history camera can integrate is limited, and the history camera cannot capture the timeline before the destruction of the universe.

Disappointed, Rosen put the historical camera back into storage and continued his aimless wandering.

Lock onto cosmic debris, approach it, destroy it, and then continue searching for new debris.

Rosen had gradually become numb until the 13th piece of cosmic debris brought him a new surprise.

When he destroyed the remnants of Universe 13, he gained another portion of Void Source Matter.

This made him realize that the source matter formed after the destruction of the universe could potentially be repeated.

Since one unit of time source matter is not enough for the history camera to capture footage up to the time before the destruction of the universe, more units of time source matter will eventually be able to do so. His current concern is whether the history camera can withstand more time source matter.

This concern persisted until the 21st piece of cosmic debris was consumed, at which point the history camera successfully fused with the second portion of time source matter.

Hope is very important; without hope, life has no meaning.

Finding more Void Essence and Time Essence became Rosen's hope and motivation as he wandered through the endless deep space.

However, the distances between different cosmic remnants vary, and the repeated voyages take anywhere from a few thousand to tens of thousands of years. Coupled with the time acceleration of the new universe's time source matter amplification to the limit of ten thousand times, Rosen finally understood the true purpose of the ancient gods' slumber.

After killing the ancient god and reading its memories, he learned the true reason for the ancient god's slumber.

Living too long and experiencing too much, choosing to sleep allows one to forget unimportant memories and to regain a sense of novelty towards things that were once tiresome. This is the true value of sleep; otherwise, endless lifespan would be a painful torment for intelligent life.

So Rosen also learned to sleep, and time completely lost its meaning for him while he was asleep.

However, unlike the ancient gods' slumber, he becomes stronger every time he wakes up.

Because each time a new cosmic remnant is consumed, the new universe becomes more powerful. The current new universe has long surpassed the original universe era, and the original core eternal plane has unknowingly evolved into the original plane.

This means that the new universe is now capable of giving birth to primordial life.

Rosen originally only controlled one percent of the Heart of the Universe. As one cosmic remnant after another was consumed by the new universe, and as the Heart of the Universe grew and evolved time and time again, the Origin Seed had long since completely merged with the Heart of the Universe, successfully transforming the new universe into his new avatar.
