God of Pets

Chapter 852 Infinity is Equivalent to Nothingness
"Roads are made by people walking. If one path is blocked, I'll take another. There's always a way that can be taken." Chen Guan thought to himself, secretly activating the First Secret Technique.

This time, he no longer sought to sense the secret realm connected to the One Secret Technique, but instead focused on comprehending the One Secret Technique itself.

If there truly is no secret realm in this world that corresponds to the One Secret Technique, then he will use the One Secret Technique as the foundation and create his own secret realm.

Chen Guan had already had this idea before, but now he was even more determined.

Life is like walking in the dark; if there is a guiding light ahead, that is a blessing.

But if there is no guiding light, then one can only grope one's way forward in the darkness until the moment one becomes the guiding light.

Now, there is no light ahead of Chen Guan, only endless darkness.

The secret method created by the Emperor Ancestor gave him direction, but he still had to explore this dark path on his own.

Chen Guan circulated the First Secret Technique again and again, starting quickly and rapidly, then gradually slowing down. Chen Guan calmed his mind and slowly felt the flow of the First Secret Technique.

Without a doubt, the Secret Technique of One is almost a perfect secret technique. Its inclusiveness, its breadth, its delicacy, and its beauty are all flawless.

"If there were a secret realm that matched the First Secret Technique, what would that secret realm be like?" Chen Guan pondered to himself.

"The secret technique of the first has no upper limit, so does the corresponding secret realm also have no upper limit? But if it has no upper limit, then it is infinitely large. An infinitely large secret realm is no longer a secret realm, but the entire universe."

“That’s right, why can’t I use the entire universe as my secret realm? No one stipulates that a secret realm must be just a small, independent space; the universe itself can also be regarded as an independent space…”

"No!" Chen Guan quickly dismissed this idea.

"Rather than describing a secret realm as a space, it's more accurate to say that a secret realm is a framework of a system of rules. Rules are necessary for a framework; if the entire universe is taken as a secret realm, then it's equivalent to having no rules and no framework."

"Just like Go, Go exists because of the board and the rules. Without these, it would be empty and nothing at all."

“All the words are there, but if they are not arranged according to certain rules and order, they will only have their own meaning and will not become beautiful poems or dramatic stories.”

"Infinity is equivalent to nothingness, and rules are equivalent to no rules."

"I want to walk my own path, not turn the whole world into a road."

If the world were just a road, then where would the scenery come from?

"Boundless freedom is the greatest unfreedom in the world. If the whole world is in my heart, then the world is a prison for my soul."

"There are three thousand great paths in the world. I may choose one or create another, but I must never reduce all three thousand great paths to one."

Various thoughts flashed through Chen Guan's mind, but while thinking about them was easy, finding a breakthrough and embarking on a path of one's own was not an easy task.

The secret technique of the first stage slowed down more and more, as if it had stopped.

Chen Guan's breathing and heartbeat also slowed down, until finally he was almost like a dead man with no breathing or heartbeat.

As time passed, Chen Guan's body was buried in the yellow sand, becoming part of the sand dunes.

Ji Liuying wandered aimlessly in the desert, as if she had lost her soul.

The ten major families' infiltration of the Ji family's Great Cave Heaven became increasingly serious. Without the Heavenly King's protection, the Ji family could only retreat step by step.

Those people were clearly pushing their luck and causing trouble in Ji family's city. She simply stood up to stop them, but instead, she was punished and sent to the Lei Luo Desert. Ji Liuying couldn't understand why things had turned out this way.

Even if the Heavenly King is gone, with so many people and so many powerful members in the Ji family, why can't they fight against other families?

So what if he's a Heavenly King? As long as the Ji family is united, even a Heavenly King would probably have to think twice.

Thinking of this, Ji Liuying gave a bitter smile.

Because she knew that it was simply impossible to get the Ji family to be of one mind.

As far as she knew, many high-ranking members of her family had already begun to have ambiguous relationships with people from other families.

"I'm afraid the Ji family is truly doomed to perish." Ji Liuying sighed all the way, walking further and further away, yet she didn't know where she should go.

She wanted to help the Ji family rise to prominence, but she lacked the ability to do so.

She had only recently advanced to the Great Cave Heaven realm, and her strength was no match for those elders.

She also tried to retrieve the ring left by the Heavenly King, but the result was not as she wished.

As Ji Liuying was wandering aimlessly, she suddenly noticed a large number of sand scorpions ahead of her.

Ji Liuying originally thought that these sand scorpions were coming for her and was already prepared to fight, so she took the opportunity to vent her frustration by using these sand scorpions.

But to her surprise, these sand scorpions all passed by her, quickly flying away into the distance, showing no intention of fighting her at all.

"Huh, these sand scorpions seem to be running away because they're afraid of something?" Ji Liuying glanced in the direction the sand scorpions came from, and with a thought, she summoned a sword spirit pet and flew towards that direction on the sword spirit.

Not long after flying, Ji Liuying saw many corpses of sand scorpions lying dead in the yellow sand.

The corpses of these sand scorpions were very strange, looking like dried vegetables, with the entire body being unusually dry.

Ji Liuying unleashed a palm strike at the corpse of a sand scorpion.

The palm strike was barely able to harm anyone, but when it landed on the corpse of the sand scorpion, the scorpion's body instantly turned to ashes.

"How did they die? How did things turn out like this?" Ji Liuying was surprised and quickly activated the secret law to prevent any accidents from happening to her.

She proceeded cautiously, killing countless sand scorpions along the way.

But they didn't see what killed the sand scorpions, until they saw no more of the sand scorpion corpses or anything else.

"Is that a person?" Ji Liuying looked around and found a person on a sand dune. Most of the body was buried in the sand, with only the head sticking out, covered in yellow sand.

Ji Liuying wasn't sure if it was a person, or if it was dead or alive, so she first struck the sand dune with her palm.

The force of his palm transformed into a hurricane, blasting away the sand from the dunes, and soon the man's body was fully exposed.

"It really is a person." Ji Liuying looked him over carefully and saw his clothes and accessories, and knew that he was indeed a person.

However, judging from his aura, he seemed to be dead. Just as I was wondering whether to go down and check the cause of his death, I saw that the man actually opened his eyes.
