Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 184 The Hidden Inheritance of the Ninth Abyss, the Illusory Origin Dao

Flame Lake.

As the terrifying energy fluctuations dissipated, the endless frozen lake fires regrouped, forming the calm, waveless lake surface.

"Is... the battle over?"

"Why hasn't anyone come out? What's the situation with the battle?"

In the distant void, the two sixth-order universe lords of the two holy lands, as well as the universe lords of other major forces, were all paying close attention.

Bang! Whoosh!

With a sudden roar, the calm lake surface parted to both sides out of thin air, and Shen Mu, dressed in a feather robe, walked through the void.

Shen Mu held up a 'universe' that had shrunk countless times in his right palm. This universe was composed of 108 independent spacetimes, and the core of each spacetime was a magnificent palace of different shapes.

"Look, that struggling figure in that spacetime looks like... the Gluttonous Demon Lord!?"

"The Gluttonous Demon Lord is an existence no weaker than our clan's Awakened Ancestor; it's simply unbelievable!"

With a thought, Shen Mu's palm universe vanished, and his gaze fell upon the various universe lords.

As Shen Mu's gaze swept over them, everyone felt an extremely strong pressure of will, their souls seemed to tense up, and they dared not meet Shen Mu's eyes.

Having finished his intimidation, Shen Mu's figure flashed, his twelve wings on his back disappeared in an instant, and he entered the Ninth Abyss.

……

Upon stepping into the Ninth Abyss region, Shen Mu sensed several powerful auras.

Immediately afterward, Shen Mu felt a series of gazes fall upon him.

With a thought, Shen Mu summoned Bai Yujing back to life.

The majestic palaces were driven to their limits by Shen Mu's avatar, radiating intense light and energy, with countless secret patterns connecting to the void and transforming into singularities of the universe.

In an instant, the 108 universes merged together, and a super-miniature universe with a diameter of only ten light-years appeared, heading towards Luo Feng's coordinates.

"This Gluttonous Cloth was actually suppressed by Hunyuan."

"This is outrageous! Even for a top-tier ninth-order True God, capturing a powerhouse like the Gluttonous Demon Lord alive is highly unrealistic, isn't it?"

As Shen Mu activated Bai Yujing again, many powerful figures present withdrew their probing intent to avoid causing any misunderstanding for this newly promoted powerhouse of the Cosmic Sea.

At this moment, deep within the ninth dimension, there lies endless icy land, a desolate wasteland with almost no treasures.

This is one of the reasons why no one is willing to explore the Twelve Abysses, because the interiors of the Twelve Abysses are all like this, with little value for exploration.

In reality, there are hidden spaces within this endless icy land, but they are difficult to perceive, or rather, without special opportunities, they cannot be perceived at all.

Within the hidden space of the Ninth Abyss, there is only a giant lake and an island, on which stands a strange palace in an ancient style.

A blood-red pyramid and a blue stone mountain peak float in mid-air beside the palace.

hum!

Suddenly, countless secret patterns lit up the membrane wall of this space, forming a huge secret pattern map with a radius of hundreds of billions of kilometers.

The next instant, Shen Mu's Bai Yujing appeared out of thin air in this space.

"Teacher, junior brother."

Shen Mu emerged from Baiyujing, his gaze falling on Zuoshanke and Luo Feng.

The Mountain Guest nodded slightly and looked at Shen Mu, saying, "I originally thought it would take at least another 100,000 years for you to reach this point."

Shen Mu humbly replied, "It was just luck. If my teacher hadn't crafted the treasure for me, I wouldn't have been able to suppress the Gluttonous Cloth Demon Lord."

"Senior brother, there are secret patterns left by a super strong person in this palace. Teacher said that this person's realm surpassed that of the Primordial Ancestor and was on the same level as the progenitors of the two holy land universes."

Luo Feng came closer and told Shen Mu about the opportunities hidden in this space.

"A progenitor comparable to the two holy lands? It seems to be a being who has surpassed the true god."

With a thought, Shen Mu separated a divine power avatar: "Let this divine power avatar stay here to comprehend it."

Seeing that Shen Mu showed no surprise or astonishment, Luo Feng added, "Senior brother, the secret patterns here are extremely complex; even our teacher couldn't decipher them."

"Even the teacher can't figure it out, that's really amazing. Could it be a secret pattern left by the powerful person who crafted the spaceship?" Shen Mu looked at Zuo Shan Ke with a strange expression and a look of disbelief.

The mountain dweller's lips twitched slightly; this third disciple had indeed guessed that he was no ordinary true god.

It's actually quite normal to discover this.

Even if Shen Mu wasn't a transmigrator, after obtaining the treasure-refining inheritance from the Mountain-Sitting Guest, he would inevitably discover the extraordinary nature of this treasure-refining inheritance as his horizons broadened.

"Ahem!"

The Mountain Guest coughed twice and raised his hand to slap Shen Mu: "Stop talking nonsense. The legacy of this ancient powerhouse is very suitable for you. You can study it."

"It suits me very well. Could it be a secret rune of the Great Dao of the Soul's Origin?" Shen Mu was somewhat surprised.

The Mountain-Sitting Guest shook his head: "I suppose so. To be precise, it's the mysteries of the psychedelic origin. In short, it suits you quite well."

The Great Path of the Soul—what a profound path that is!

The master of this palace only comprehended the mysteries of illusion, which are derivatives of the Great Dao of the Soul.

Listening to the conversation between Shen Mu and the Mountain Hermit, Luo Feng asked curiously, "Teacher, Senior Brother, is this Primordial Dao the profound mystery beyond the laws that this powerful figure spoke of?"

Inside this ancient palace, besides the secret runes left by this ancient powerhouse, there are also some inscriptions.

From those handwritings, Luo Feng learned that there was a deeper level of mystery that transcended the laws of nature.

The mountain dweller glanced at Luo Feng and said, "You explain it to your junior brother."

Shen Mu nodded slightly, then said, "Junior Brother Luo Feng should know that there are realms above True God, right?"

Luo Feng nodded: "I heard from my teacher that the founders of the two holy lands were beings who surpassed true gods."

"That's right, but surpassing the realm of a true god is not the end."

"By creating a tenth-order secret technique and comprehending all the mysteries of the fundamental laws, one can hope to reach this realm."

"There are even higher realms beyond this one. To reach this realm, one needs to comprehend a wisp of the fundamental Dao that transcends the laws."

Luo Feng was somewhat shocked: "So that means this powerful expert, at the True God realm, comprehended a wisp of the fundamental Dao's profound mystery that transcends the laws?"

Shen Mu nodded matter-of-factly: "That's normal. Just like you need to comprehend a wisp of the mystery of a law to become a realm lord, but a true genius can comprehend a wisp of the mystery of a law at the constant level or even the planetary level."

Upon hearing this, the shock on Luo Feng's face vanished instantly, replaced by a hint of regret.

"I never imagined that such a powerful figure would also vanish into the endless years."

Shen Mu smiled and said, "There is no such thing as true eternity. Even the beings who forged the spaceship perished in the endless years."

The mountain dweller waved his hand, interrupting Shen Mu and Luo Feng's conversation.

"Let's go. There's no treasure here. Just leave behind a divine avatar each."

Shen Mu and Luo Feng naturally had no objections.

A moment later, the endless ice and soil of the Ninth Abyss suddenly rippled like water, and then a blood-red pyramid, a blue stone peak, and a celestial city emerged.

"Since you've come to pick up Luo Feng, I won't interfere anymore."

The thoughts of the mountain dweller emanated from the azure stone peak, then transformed into a dazzling azure light, its speed instantly soaring to a hundred times the speed of light in a short moment, before breaking through the limit and disappearing into the distance.

Shen Mu then spoke up: "Junior brother, you have just comprehended the second level of the Star Tower's secret runes. If you can't escape this abyss, come into my Jade Palace."

"Okay, senior brother."

The Star Tower, disguised as a blood-red pyramid, shrank countless times, transforming into a stream of light and disappearing into the Jade Capital.

On the white jade platform, Shen Mu and Luo Feng sat cross-legged in front of a jade table.

"Senior brother, perhaps Master Zuoshanke is not just the strongest in the universe?" Luo Feng suddenly asked.

Shen Mu smiled and said, "You noticed?"

Luo Feng nodded slightly: "Yes, as my understanding of the Star Tower deepens, I feel that Master Zuo Shan Ke, who crafted the Star Tower, is becoming increasingly unfathomable."

The Star Tower has twenty-seven layers of runes, and the power of the third layer reaches the level of the strongest beings in the universe.

The entire Star Tower has a total of twenty-seven layers of secret runes!

Shen Mu shook his head: "Actually, I've already told you. The secret runes that Master Zuoshanke couldn't comprehend directly could only have been left by the creator of the spaceship."

"Is such a colossal object as the Spaceship really a treasure that can be crafted by human hands?" Luo Feng couldn't help but ask.

Shen Mu laughed and said, "You might not believe it, but your Star Tower is a treasure that surpasses even the Spaceship."

Although the spaceship is a super-large mechanical treasure, when activated by the combined efforts of billions of true gods, it can unleash a power that no one but a god-king can withstand.

However, this only means that only a God-King can stop it, not that a God-King cannot destroy the cosmic ship.

On the contrary, this Star Tower is something that ordinary God-Kings really cannot break.

"My Star Tower is that powerful?" Luo Feng asked, sounding somewhat shocked.

Shen Mu said, "Even if I tell you some information, you won't be able to remember it. This is a limitation of the universe's rules."

"In short, you only need to know one thing: if the teacher loses his temper, no one in the entire universe can stand up to him."

……

The cosmic ocean is boundless, and light-years are the most basic unit of distance here.

Even with Shen Mu's use of teleportation and various natural wormholes for ultra-long-distance travel, it took him over nine hundred years to travel from the inner domain of the spaceship to the outside of the primordial universe.

Of course, these past nine hundred years have been spent traveling almost entirely within the spaceship, since teleportation is not possible in most areas of the spaceship.

After leaving the spaceship, Shen Mu arrived outside the membrane of the primordial universe in just a few years.

At the entrance to the Toya Black Hole, Shen Mu sent an email to the founders of the Giant Axe.

At this moment, the Giant Axe Founder, along with many human races and powerful members of the Hong Alliance, had arrived outside the small universe of the Gluttonous Cloth Demon Lord, waiting for the small universe to begin to collapse.

"Finally home."

With a thought, Shen Mu piloted the White Jade Capital into the primordial universe.

The instant Bai Yujing entered the primordial universe, a vast and oppressive force descended upon him.

"No, no!"

Inside the Jade Capital, in the celestial realm evolved from the Tushita Palace, the Gluttonous Demon Lord screamed in terror.

An immense power acted upon his true god's heart, and in a mere instant, his true god's heart completely collapsed, along with his soul, and was utterly annihilated.

A hint of unease appeared in Luo Feng's eyes: "Killing a true god in the primordial universe is so easy."

Shen Mu explained, "Don't worry, as long as you don't violate the supreme rules, even the primordial universe cannot directly kill a true god."

"Supreme rules?"

Shen Mu explained, "The supreme rules are beyond our reach; even if we wanted to violate them, we couldn't."

"I see." Luo Feng nodded.

At this moment, on the other side of the cosmic sea, the miniature universe of the Gluttonous Demon Lord began to collapse.

Unlike life forms in the primordial universe, everything they had was entrusted to the origin of the miniature universe. With the collapse of the miniature universe, they simply vanished.

Life in the primordial universe, even if residing in smaller universes, would not perish as long as it could withstand the disasters caused by the collapse of the universe and the pressure of the chaotic air currents in the cosmic sea.

After returning to the original universe, traveling directly through the divine kingdom is the most convenient option.

Shen Mu's divine kingdom is now incredibly large, with a diameter already exceeding one hundred light-years, and it continues to expand. No one knows what its limit will be.

Under normal circumstances, the largest divine kingdom of a cosmic overlord is only 1 to 3 light-years away, and only a very few top overlords' divine kingdoms can reach more than 10 light-years away.

At the level of the Lord of the Universe, divine kingdoms are generally located in the range of several hundred light-years.

Moreover, the laws of the God Kingdom of the Lord of the Universe are more perfect. The few immortals among the humans in the God Kingdom were all born from the God Kingdom of the Lord of the Universe, and they all obtained some opportunities, otherwise they could not have broken through.

"Whether it's the legacy of Jie Fanzi or the secret runes left by the super strong 'Mo Hua' in the hidden space of the Ninth Abyss, they both involve the mysteries of the origin."

"Now I have no shortage of treasures and inheritances, what I lack most is time to comprehend these secret patterns."

"There's no need to continue heading to the Cosmic Sea anytime soon."

"It's not too late to go to the Cosmic Sea after the Duan Donghe legacy is born."

……

Virtual universe, an endless, dark axe-like spacetime.

One by one, figures emerged and then gathered at the Giant Axe Temple to celebrate the acquisition of many treasures from the Gluttonous Cloth Demon Lord clan.

"I never expected that the Gluttonous Cloth Demon Lord clan would possess so many treasures."

"There are more than seventy items at the level of supreme treasures, including many supreme treasures of the supreme palace and soul types."

"That's normal. In the first era of reincarnation, the Gluttonous Demon Lord was also the leader of a top-tier alliance, no weaker than the Northern Frontier Alliance. Naturally, his forces had many treasures."

"Haha, our human race has truly become wealthy now. It's not a problem for everyone to have a top-tier palace-type treasure."

The entire temple of the giant axe was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

hum!

Suddenly, ripples spread through the space, and Shen Mu and Luo Feng's figures appeared side by side.

"The True God of Hunyuan".

"Luo Feng!"

"The founder of Hunyuan".

Many super beings from the human race greeted Shen Mu warmly, making no attempt to hide their excitement.

"Everyone!" Shen Mu said with a smile as he looked at the crowd.

The strongest among the giant axe-wielders stood up and solemnly declared, "The suppression of the Gluttonous Cloth Demon Lord by Hunyuan is a momentous event for our human race!"

"Now that all the treasures within the Gluttonous Demon Lord's miniature universe have entered the treasury of our human race, it can be considered a perfect ending. We should also celebrate the emergence of our race's third strongest being!"

With a wave of his hand, the strongest of the giant axe-wielders conjured up countless fine wines and delicacies on the table in front of them.

"Haha, it's time to celebrate!"

"Hunyuan, I'd like to raise a glass to you!"

The human race, including the cosmic lords, all gathered around Shen Mu, drinking and celebrating together.

The founder of the giant axe looked at Shen Mu in the crowd but did not disturb him. Instead, he raised his wine cup and clinked it with the Lord of Chaos City.

"Chaos, now that Hunyuan has also achieved the strongest combat power in the universe, plus Luo Feng, your Virtual Universe Company has a total of one True God and six Universe Lords, which is too many."

In fact, apart from the Virtual Universe Company and the Giant Axe Arena, the other three major human powers do not have so many Universe Lords.

Especially Peng Gong, as a fifth-order universe lord, there are only two universe lords in the entire universe star bank, including him.

The Lord of Chaos City nodded in agreement: "Very well, it's time to establish a sixth force. I wonder if Hunyuan is willing to take charge?"

Lord of the Wasteland said directly, "My Cosmic Mercenary Alliance has no objection."

The Lord of Qingdong spoke: "The Universe's Number One Bank approves."

The last person in charge of the project, Peng Gong, naturally had no objections.

Upon hearing this, Shen Mu nodded slightly and said, "In that case, I will create a faction."

"I once secretly controlled many cosmic venerables with my soul on the primordial star, which was enough to support a large force."

The Lord of Chaos waved his hand: "It's best not to let too many powerful alien races join the forces within my human race. I will select two hundred Universe Venerables from the Virtual Universe Company to join your ranks."

The founder of the Giant Axe also said, "The Giant Axe Arena is the same."

The leaders of the other three major powers also expressed their willingness to select one hundred Universe Venerables from their ranks to join the new power created by Shen Mu.

There are over six thousand direct descendants of the human race who are cosmic venerables. Each faction basically commands over a thousand cosmic venerables, so even if a hundred are separated, it will not affect normal operation.

"In this way, with seven hundred cosmic venerables, supporting the framework of a great power will not be a problem."

The founder of the giant axe spoke, then looked at Shen Mu: "Hun Yuan, have you thought of a name for this sixth force?"

Shen Mu pondered for a moment and said, "Let's call it the Cosmic Logistics Company."

"Space logistics?"

"Could Hunyuan's core business be logistics?"

The powerful figures of the human race were also somewhat puzzled. Logistics was not something that could not be operated, but as a core business supporting a major power, it might not be enough.

Unless the higher-ups of the race stipulate that all logistics and long-distance travel must be outsourced to space logistics companies, it will be difficult to form a large enough industry to support the normal operation of a giant power.

Shen Mu explained, "There are over a thousand alien universe venerables under my soul control. They are not suitable to act outside, so let them completely hide their identities and then offer up their divine kingdoms."

"At that time, each of the advanced cosmic kingdoms of the race will be assigned a divine kingdom as a transportation center, and then a permanent divine kingdom channel will be built to connect all the intermediate kingdoms under its command, forming a divine kingdom network covering the entire territory of the race."

"With the competitiveness of the Divine Kingdom Network, even if it doesn't completely monopolize all space and logistics businesses, it's close enough to support the development of a power."

Thus, the Cosmic Logistics Company was born, but Shen Mu is still a lone commander, without a single Cosmic Lord under his command.

Luo Feng looked at Shen Mu and said, "Senior brother, I'll follow you from now on."

"No problem." Shen Mu naturally had no objections.

At this moment, Lord Youhou also spoke up: "Uncle-Master, let me start a new company with Shen Mu too."

At this point, all three universe masters of the third generation of the virtual universe lineage have declared independence.

The Lord of Chaos City smiled helplessly, "Alright, alright, I have no objection. As long as Hunyuan accepts you, I naturally won't have any objections."

Unlike Shen Mu and Luo Feng, the Lord of Youhou, although also known as the newly promoted Lord of the Universe, is an old guy from hundreds of millions of years ago, and has a large number of followers under his command.

Now, this large group of followers have also joined Shen Mu's Cosmic Logistics Company along with Lord Youhou.

With the business concluded, the powerful members of various human races began their celebration once again.

As for the detailed operation and establishment of the Cosmic Logistics Company, the Cosmic Lords present do not need to worry about it.
