Chat group: Journey to the West at the end of the law, investing in all worlds

Chapter 315 Great Transcendence: A single thought gives rise to the World Sea, a single thought gives rise to infinity, a single thought causes all things to wither and all heavens to be annihilated!

"Thank you... Daoist Master!"

In Qionghua Palace, the faint sound of Sun Wukong's gratitude could be heard.

Chen Chu gently shook his head.

It's just a dream world; it's not a big deal to me at all.

and……

"Dreams are illusions!"

"True feelings!"

"Everything in this world, in a sense, exists in the space between 'nothingness' and 'existence'."

After a brief moment of reflection, his gaze turned to his latest acquisition: the Reincarnation Lotus...

A Chinese Odyssey is a dream world, which was unfolded by Buddha using the Buddha's palm-sized kingdom, and then simplified reincarnation was created with the Lotus of Reincarnation.

Only in this way can a world be considered one and a half complete.

Its distinctive feature is the reincarnation characteristic possessed by the Reincarnation Lotus.

At this moment, this world has fallen into the lake in the highest heaven, and under the nourishment of the Three Lights Divine Water, which possesses the power of the Dao, a purple lotus flower has been born.

Right in the center was the dream world that had almost been destroyed before.

Of course, this world has now become "real" and, nourished by the primordial heavens, is rapidly becoming complete, expanding, and moving towards becoming a minor world.

"Reincarnation..."

Muttering to himself, Chen Chu took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming.

"A grand dream is like an illusion, yet all thoughts are contained within a small space!"

The boundary between nothingness and existence is incredibly blurred.

Just like the physical body described in Buddhism, it is an illusion, like a dream, a phantom, a bubble, or a shadow.

Seeing the shadows and mist, one realizes that one's own physical body is as fleeting as clouds and smoke, and thus understands that life should not be bound by the physical body, but should be as unrestrained as clouds and smoke...

That world, though a dream, an illusion..., transformed into reality after Supreme Treasure came to believe in it.

Isn't this... another kind of use of falsehood to dismiss truth, and of nothingness to reflect existence?
Chen Chu already knew this principle, but when he witnessed it with his own eyes, his heart was still stirred, and his path made further progress.

He gazed at the main hall, his thoughts already lost in the entire universe.

Dreams are reality, and reality is dreams...

Dreams and reality intertwine, illusion and truth blend together.

The two complement each other, thus forming the heavens we see before us.

Let's add a cycle to this...

The vast dream of three thousand worlds is an illusion, but reincarnation is real... This is also why the dream path is so powerful in many fantasy worlds, allowing people to advance their path and elevate their state of mind.

Furthermore... dreams exist on multiple levels.

Chen Chu remembered watching a movie called "Inception" in the past.

In that movie, dreams were divided into six layers of the world.

It consists of the real world plus five layers of dreams, plus the Lost Realm.

Specifically, it refers to the real world at the foundational layer.

Then comes the shallow layer, the first layer of dreams where the subconscious is active.

The second layer is a dream within a dream, a mid-level dream that requires medication.

Next comes the third, deeper layer, a dream with weakened defenses.

The fourth, extremely deep layer, is a deep dreamscape approaching the Lost Realm.

Finally, the legendary Limbo...

This is an unconventional dream world; only the dead can enter.

In this description, when a person's consciousness enters a deeper level of dream, they become unable to distinguish between dream and reality, thus becoming unable to escape from the dream and falling into a lost realm.

But in reality, the boundary between this so-called reality and deep dreams and the Lost Realm is very blurred.

How can you prove that what you call reality isn't just another special dream?

Just like the brain in a vat in some scientific theories from the past.

The same is true before my eyes...

Especially in this concept, another cycle has been added.

The existence of "being" is magnified to the extreme, transforming from nothingness into something infinitely close to being.

One thought after another popped into Chen Chu's mind, recalling one different reality after another.

His cultivation level... is also achieving leaps and bounds like a rocket.

After all, reaching his level is like the difference between a quasi-saint and a saint; every breakthrough in even a minor realm will result in an incredibly terrifying increase.

Compared to the past, it represents a complete transformation and difference.

He was completely absorbed in it...

I do not know how long it has been.

Is it a fleeting moment, or countless epochs?

When Chen Chu opened his eyes again, his aura and his very existence became solid again... as if they had always existed, rather than being as ethereal as before.

At the same time, the entire primordial heavens also underwent a completely new change.

Within these dream worlds, each one radiantly transforms into a physical form, and various strange phenomena emerge in these vast and different worlds...

Even the ocean beneath the trees began to reflect these worlds.

This led to the development of entirely new and different demonic seeds and energy systems.

Chen Chu glanced at it a few times before turning his gaze back to what was in front of him.

Before he knew it, the Nuwas had stopped their flattery and the clinking of their cups were now replaced by a unified silence as they gazed at him. To him, they all appeared to be smiling in unison.

Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on taking another step forward on your path!

Chen Chu remained silent and gently shook his head. "It's just a feeling in my heart."

“Fellow Daoist, there’s no need to be modest,” Nuwa said softly from the main seat. “At our level, every small improvement is a leap that overturns the past.”

"The fact that you have made progress here demonstrates your talent."

At this point, Nuwa sighed with emotion.

She had never imagined that this fellow Daoist she had met by chance would be so terrifying.

Just sitting here, without saying a word, he suddenly sensed something; his path to enlightenment and the essence of the Dao were rapidly improving—it was incredible…

It's like everyone else is out having fun, you caught a dragonfly and had a lot of fun, but nothing else.

The moment your friend saw the dragonfly, many things popped into his mind, and from that, he directly deduced the methods for creating various technologies.

If this happened to anyone, wouldn't they question their existence and have their worldview shattered?

He also understood why these other versions of himself from other worlds all looked at Chen Chu with a kind of indescribable respect and admiration in their eyes.

This is incredible! You can get so much out of a meal...

Nuwa felt a chill run down her spine, unable to fathom the extent to which this Daoist's cultivation had inflated to possess such terrifying potential...

And then there's the immense power to open up world portals at will...

"...We had agreed to drink together, but I didn't expect to be delayed a little."

Chen Chu didn't dwell on this matter and turned to other things.

"I'll punish myself with a drink!"

"Haha... I'll drink with you, fellow Daoist!"

I thought that these kinds of experts were usually aloof and arrogant.

But to my surprise, this person was so kind and approachable.

Nuwa was pleased and raised her wine cup to Chen Chu.

The other Nuwas followed suit...

After the drink was finished, the relationship between the group improved considerably.

They then began to chat about various topics from all over the country, reminiscing about many past events.

Especially the Nuwas...

Different worlds have different stories.

Each Nuwa has a different origin, and each creates a different worldview and history. This conversation naturally added a lot of fun and curiosity.

Chen Chu, meanwhile, occasionally chimed in with his own insights, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere, much like a family gathering.

Time ticked by, second by second...

Under the guidance of Nuwa at Fengming Qishan, no one used their magic to refine the wine. Under the power of the immortal wine and the Dao patterns, everyone was inevitably a little drunk.

After all, there's a culture associated with alcohol...

In the fantasy and martial arts worlds of the past, there existed something called "the Way of Wine".

This dish uses wine to prove the Dao, advocating for a drunken dream of immortality...

While there are no such people in the highest heaven, there are quite a few who are good at brewing wine and enjoy brewing wine.

Not to mention the many elves...

They specialize in brewing techniques, so doing this kind of thing must be a piece of cake for them.
For a moment, all the Nuwas had a slight blush on their cheeks, but Chen Chu's eyes remained clear.

As the embodiment of dreams, the main body of the primordial heavens... Although the way of wine was not yet formed, it was evolving within it. How could it possibly get drunk on him, the master of evolution?

Chen Chu swirled his wine glass, glanced at Nuwa who was leaning against the table beside him, gazing at him with dreamy eyes, and then downed the clear wine in one gulp.

I've known this person for quite some time now.

They had already met when he went to Fengming Qishan to assist Yunxiao in fighting against the Five Saints.

Then he came with him to the heavens.

Now... if you count the time, it has been quite some time.

Chen Chu's eyes trembled. At this moment... Nuwa, whom he had just met in the main seat and who was also slightly drunk, looked at him with curiosity and asked.

"By the way, I wonder how far things have progressed for you now?"

It's not hard to see from the previous scene that this person's realm is above all of theirs.

Nuwa couldn't help but feel curious about that higher, untouchable realm.

She blinked twice, asking tentatively.

"A state of transcendence?"

Chen Chu shook his head slightly.

This... Nuwa was taken aback.

Before she could speak, Chen Chu's reply came.

"It is indeed a state of transcendence, but it's not the transcendence you perceive it to be!"

Nuwa: ? ? ?
She looked at Chen Chu with some confusion and bewilderment.

The other Nuwas who had not lost their senses also all looked over at this moment.

Among them was my senior brother...

Her cultivation level was among the best in the group.

Aside from the native Nuwa of the Chen Chu era, if it weren't for the fact that the Nuwa of Phoenix Crying in Qishan and the Nuwa of the Lotus Lantern had already been in the Tai Chu Heavens for some time, she would probably be ranked second.

Naturally, she was exposed to the concept of "transcendence".

Because these people, in a certain sense, have already transcended some of these limitations.

Because they no longer depend on the world for growth, they can be independent outside of it and create their own world.

But Chen Chu's words...

"The so-called transcendence means surpassing the ordinary realm, going beyond the mundane, reaching the top level, and achieving a more outstanding, noble, and excellent level."

"This... I believe that everyone here already understands it."

Chen Chu looked at everyone and saw that they all nodded thoughtfully.

"But your transcendence is just an illusion."

"When the world perishes, you will perish as well."

"This is... a small transcendence!"

Chen Chu remembered a very special setting in a novel called Infinite Terror.

That's the box maker...

It seems that when the story was about the Demon Realm, it was said that the Demon Realm and its creatures were created by a saint.

I want to test how people would resist if they knew their world was created by someone else.

Because the sages discovered that their world was actually a book, they wanted to see if there was a way to transcend it, so they created the Main God Space...

This can actually be considered a way to transcend and reincarnate.

It is a path similar to that of Hongjun, Nuwa, and others.

He began to speak, while the Nuwas frowned slightly.

"A little detachment?"

“…Yes!” Chen Chu nodded. “Minor transcendence, transcending the mundane world, is generally manifested in the spiritual and material realms, and is the state of those who have attained enlightenment.”

"This kind of transcendence seems to be a departure from the mortal world, but in reality it is still in the mortal world. The destruction of the world will still affect the self, and may even lead to its own demise."

It's like the primordial world where I existed before.

With the primordial world destroyed, Laozi and Nuwa can create a new world.

But... what if that vast world were to be annihilated?

So this is just a false sense of detachment...

Only when you completely step out of this great world, that is, the original world in the world of senior brothers, do you truly achieve transcendence.

Chen Chu's words briefly convey his understanding.

"And the Great Transcendence... As everyone knows, the existence of realms is like a single drop of water in a vast ocean, countless and boundless..."

"The so-called transcendence is to transcend this vast universe..."

"Transformed from the vast ocean into the most special one."

"One thought can create a world of seas..."

"A single thought can give rise to infinite possibilities..."

"With a single thought, all things wither and die..."

"With a single thought, all the heavens are annihilated..."

"In this realm, the concepts of time and space no longer exist."

"Transcending the Great Dao, transcending eternity... transcending the immeasurable, surpassing everything."

"It is known to the vast world, all time and space, beyond the universe, beyond chaos, omnipresent and ubiquitous from ancient times to the present and into the future."

"Unimaginable, unspeakable...unbearable to look at, illogical, subverting reality."

Simply put, it means that an infinite number of worldviews converge into a larger worldview.

An infinitely larger worldview converges into an even larger worldview, repeating this process infinitely.

The infinite iteration and transcendence, the endless cycle, expands the worldview infinitely. With each iteration, the worldview becomes countless times stronger than before.

This kind of detachment is also what Chen Chu pursued.

Once you reach this level, it's actually meaningless to fall a few levels and transcend.

Because he himself has already transcended transcendence.

Just like the concept of narrative layers in the world of Eiju Ukiyo.

But further up...

Above the narrative layer, there is actually another narrative layer.

This is a kind of nested box...

This so-called transcendence is simply transcending the box that contains all of this.

Sever all connections and causal ties with everything within the boundary.

It belongs to the sacrificial path of the world of Shrouding the Heavens.

The supreme being of all time, the mythical Great Luo in the world.

There are also various other different systems with various different names.

However... it all leads to the same destination.

The directions are basically the same, only the routes to the destinations are slightly different.
