Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 211 The Bowing of the Primordial Universe, the True Origin of the Universe!

"Disciple, tell me what conditions you proposed?"

The Mountain Guest looked at Shen Mu with some curiosity, and instructed him, "There is one condition you must mention: that is, when the primordial universe is destroyed, enter the original plane of the universe and comprehend the meaning of destruction."

"This will be of great help to your future spiritual practice."

Although possessing the original universe wouldn't have much effect on the Mountain-Sitting Guest, he was still aware of its wonderful uses.

In other words, even possessing the original universe had a certain effect on him, the God-King. How astonishing is that?

According to the information in the Void Extreme Sect's inheritance, a life that barely reaches the Chaos Realm and exhausts its potential, if it can possess the original universe, will almost certainly become a heaven-defying Chaos Realm as long as it does not perish.

The so-called Heaven-Defying Chaos Realm refers to an existence that can barely contend with a powerhouse who has just entered the God King Realm.

Shen Mu smiled and said, "Teacher, you are still too conservative. I am also someone who has received an ancient inheritance. How could I lack this kind of vision and knowledge?"

As he spoke, Shen Mu told the guest who sat on the mountain about his requirements, leaving the guest dumbfounded.

"You dare to make these two demands: repairing the spaceship and fully opening up the primordial plane of the universe?"

The mountain dweller looked pleased and remarked, "In terms of robbery, I am far inferior to you."

"So what? The supreme rules have granted life born from the primordial universe the right to control the primordial universe."

"I have already done more than enough by not directly intending to possess him."

Upon hearing Shen Mu reinterpret the meaning of "to the utmost in benevolence and righteousness," Zuo Shan Ke burst into laughter.

While Shen Mu and the Mountain Guest were talking, the Giant Axe Founder, the Chaos City Lord, and Engineer Peng and others came over and asked what Shen Mu had just exchanged with the three Ancestral Gods.

"Shen Mu, I noticed those three Ancestral Gods looked very unwell just now. What... happened?"

"Hunyuan, the Ancestral God Sect acts on the orders of the Primordial Universe's will. Even if the three Ancestral Gods are nothing, we still have to give the Primordial Universe some face."

Both Giant Axe and Chaos looked at Shen Mu with some concern.

The Dark God beside him also spoke up: "Hunyuan, if the Primordial Universe could suppress our teacher back then, it can suppress others now. We'd better proceed with caution."

The Dark God didn't finish his sentence; he meant that he was worried Shen Mu would anger the Primordial Universe and follow in the footsteps of the Primordial Ancestor.

Shen Mu said, "Don't worry, the Primordial Universe asked me to do something this time, so there won't be any problems. In addition, I also asked the Primordial Universe to release the Primordial Ancestor."

"What!?"

"Teacher, can it still be released?"

Shen Mu nodded matter-of-factly: "Of course, but it's hard to say exactly when it will be released."

According to the original text, even the primordial universe itself did not have the right to release the progenitor; this was a restriction imposed by the supreme rules.

Only after the human race, or rather Luo Feng, quelled the Great Calamity of the Beast Realm and made contributions to the Cosmic Sea, did the Primordial Universe release the Primordial Ancestor with the permission of the Supreme Rules.

……

Meanwhile, within the primordial universe.

At the core of the Milky Way, spacetime suddenly began to tremble, emanating an endless and majestic pressure.

For a moment, all the powerful beings in the entire Milky Way looked at the galactic center black hole with awe. They all knew that the current galactic center black hole was an avatar of the Lord of Hunyuan Alliance.

"Buzz!"

A colossal spacetime vortex emerged above the Milky Way, its dazzling divine light descending, accompanied by a wisp of thought.

Shen Mu sensed anger and anxiety from this thought.

The will of the primordial universe is not the same as the will of life, but it does possess emotions, unlike the ruthless heavenly way in Earth's mythology.

Inside the black hole, endless chaotic seawater surged and condensed into an avatar.

"As a being nurtured by the primordial universe, I naturally do not wish to one day become an enemy of the primordial universe."

"But what I seek is to climb to the peak and limit of the path of life's evolution, and there are some opportunities that I cannot give up."

Buzz!

Another wisp of thought arrived, some of which carried a threatening connotation.

For example, what makes it more difficult for the human race to break through, and what makes the probability of the human race producing geniuses the lowest in the universe?

"Hahaha, the primordial universe, do you think I'd care?"

"So what if humanity is facing difficulties now? When I take control of the primordial universe in the future, I will make up for it all tenfold."

Boom!

The entire spacetime began to tremble, and the primordial universe was filled with boundless rage.

Even with the great upheaval in spacetime, no life was harmed, not even those unintelligent cellular organisms, or even smaller life forms.

This is a restriction imposed by the supreme rules, which prohibit the primordial universe from harming any life unless it violates the rules.

Shen Mu ignored the anger of the Primal Universe and continued speaking to himself: "Actually, you can consider some conditions."

"First of all, without me and without the human race, you would certainly not survive this great calamity of the world beasts."

"Although the original universe will be destroyed, it will not be completely annihilated. It will simply return to its original state and give birth to a new universe."

"But will the will of the universe still be you at that time?"

As Shen Mu finished speaking, the starry sky, which had been trembling due to the anger of the primordial universe, stabilized again.

"The conditions... are harsh!"

"I can't agree to that..."

Strands of thoughts were transmitted, still carrying some anxiety and dissatisfaction, but no longer anger.

As the primordial universe adopted a negotiating stance, a smile appeared on Shen Mu's face.

"Primordial Universe, I am not sure if you, as the will of the universe, are aware of the situation of other cosmic seas."

"But in the ancient inheritance I obtained, there were powerful figures from sects who witnessed beings possessing other primordial universes."

"As time goes by endlessly, every universe will give birth to geniuses who transcend the norm, which means that every primordial universe will inevitably undergo possession."

"I don't know if your previous body was possessed. I imagine that in the long years and endless cycles of reincarnation, you may have had such an experience. However, the person who possessed the universe should have already perished."

At this point, Shen Mu changed the subject, saying, "If you agree to my conditions, you will not have to worry about any threats in the future, whether it is a world beast or possession."

"You should know that even if other wills are to be born again in the primordial universe in the future, it will certainly not be you."

After Shen Mu explained the pros and cons, the will of the primordial universe fell silent.

If it weren't for the fact that the spacetime vortex hadn't disappeared yet, Shen Mu would have suspected that the will of the primordial universe had already left.

After a long while, wisps of thoughts came again.

"The Primordial Plane of the Universe...Open Section"

"The Primordial Ancestor... Released the Beasts after they were pacified."

"The human race...the highest favor of the heavens."

"Repair the spaceship...do your best."

"To the highest rules...make a covenant."

Shen Mu decisively shook his head and refused: "No, the Origin Plane is completely open. Only if my strength increases rapidly can I be confident in quelling the upcoming World Beast Calamity."

"Release the Primordial Ancestor immediately. With my ancient heritage, the Primordial Ancestor can directly break through to the Void level, and will be more confident in fighting against the World Beasts."

"As for the spaceship, the amount of primal power required to completely repair this treasure is indeed too great. Just do your best."

Boom!

The cosmos was thrown into turmoil once again. This time, it wasn't just the Milky Way galaxy that was in turmoil, but the entire primordial universe was trembling.

Because it affected the entire primordial universe, most powerful beings were unaware of it. Only those who had reached the level of universe masters could perceive the turbulence in the cosmos.

"Suppressing the Primordial Ancestor... the Supreme Rule... release... requires human contribution."

"Completely opening up the source... is not possible."

The Primal Universe still wants to negotiate with Shen Mu regarding the release of the Primal Ancestor. As long as the rules of the universe are brought up, Shen Mu will likely not continue to pester them.

But to open up the source land... that's asking too much.

The fundamental position of the universe is very important to it, just as the heart of the true God is to the true God.

Moreover, the original plane of the universe is also the weakness of the primordial universe.

This is similar to the concept of a miniature universe. Generally speaking, as long as one can enter the origin plane of a miniature universe, a true god can destroy the miniature universe by attacking its origin.

However, if one cannot enter the original plane of a miniature universe, even if one enters the miniature universe to cause destruction, only a Void True God can destroy a True God's miniature universe.

If it were outside a miniature universe, then only a being at the peak of the Void God level could destroy a miniature universe.

"I understand that you cannot immediately release the Primal Ancestor due to the restrictions of the Supreme Rules."

"But you should be able to completely open your source to me, right?"

"You need to understand one thing: the stronger I am, the safer you will be."

"Moreover, my purpose in controlling the primordial universe in the future is not to become a tyrannical Heavenly Dao, but to comprehend the fundamental Dao through the primordial universe and make myself stronger."

"If you fully open up the origin of the universe to me, allowing my thoughts to merge with the entire primordial universe, then my motivation to seize control of the primordial universe will be gone."

"In that case, you and I will be in a community of shared interests. Do you understand?"

"On the other hand, if you are unwilling to form a community of shared interests with me, then pray that I perish before breaking through to the Chaos Realm."

"By then, even if you want to beg me to enter the Land of Origin to comprehend it, you won't have that chance."

Shen Mu had essentially given the primordial universe an ultimatum.

Upon hearing this, Shen Mu felt a surge of resentment, but this time the primordial universe did not throw a tantrum, and the starry sky did not tremble.

It was clear to it that everything Shen Mu said was reality.

The will of the universe had no doubt that Shen Mu could break through to the Chaos Realm in the future. Its understanding of Shen Mu's potential was even more profound than that of the Mountain-Sitting Guest.

Because the Mountain Guest was unaware of the details of Shen Mu's greatest opportunity, while it knew that it was an unparalleled opportunity that would force the supreme rules to compromise.

When Shen Mu evolved to have perfect genes and received the gifts from the primordial universe.

The will of the universe once tried to explore Shen Mu's greatest opportunity, wanting to know why Shen Mu was able to plunder the talents and abilities of other lives, because this violated the supreme rules.

However, no results were found, and even the highest rules did not react to it.

After a long while, a thought came through.

"You must make a covenant and protect me!"

"Very well, I swear to the supreme rules that I will never eliminate you, nor will I allow anyone else to eliminate you."

Shen Mu's vow seemed like a casual remark, without any binding force.

But once these words were spoken, a cause and effect were established.

It is important to understand that cause and effect, destiny, and so on, are like the Great Dao of the Soul—the Great Dao that governs all source worlds. [This concept originates from Lord Snow Eagle]

At Shen Mu's current level, he may not be aware of the constraints, but as his level increases, he will become aware of them.

Therefore, the strong never make oaths lightly, especially oaths to the highest rules.

As soon as Shen Mu finished speaking, a roar came from the center of the spacetime vortex, and a dark and deep wormhole appeared.

Seeing this, Shen Mu's avatar transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the wormhole.

Following this natural wormhole passage, Shen Mu's avatar arrived at a vast and mysterious space.

This vast space cannot be found using ordinary methods of perception.

It was filled with countless points of light. Some of these points of light seemed tiny, but in fact they contained immense energy.

However, some of the points of light contain a wealth of information.

These messages are from all life and all civilizations in the entire primordial universe since the endless cycle of reincarnation.

It contains endless mysteries and countless powerful secret techniques, representing the foundation and essence of countless civilizations in the primordial universe.

Now, in Shen Mu's eyes, these secret techniques are no longer complex and powerful; they are almost all very rudimentary secret techniques at the level of a universe master.

Although there are many true god-level secret techniques, including ninth-order, tenth-order, and even secret techniques that surpass the true god level, there are also such techniques.

However, compared to the legacy of the Void Extreme Sect, these secret techniques were nothing. Therefore, Shen Mu wasn't particularly interested.

"Whoosh..."

Suddenly, colorful light condensed in the primordial plane, forming a chaotic color that encompassed all colors, and finally enveloped Shen Mu.

hum!

At this moment, Shen Mu's will merged into the entire primordial plane and the entire original universe.

In this state, Shen Mu even had the illusion that the primordial universe had become an extension of himself.

Shen Mu could even feel himself, as if he had transformed into the universe, 'breathing,' absorbing the endless chaotic energy of the cosmic sea and transforming it into endless primordial energy for storage.

"This feeling of being in control of everything is... truly powerful."

If one is not powerful enough, being immersed in this false sense of power could very well lead to a loss of will and complete succumb to depravity.

In this state, countless majestic celestial bodies throughout the primordial universe, even a speck of dust, and virtual particles fluctuating in the vacuum... any inanimate existence is a part of Shen Mu's 'cosmic avatar'.

Shen Mu was immersed in this state, carefully comprehending the changes in the entire universe and perceiving the mysteries of the operation of countless laws of the universe.

"I see... Haha, I had so many misunderstandings. So this is the soul."

Even though Shen Mu has stepped into the path of the soul, his understanding of it is still very shallow.

When we observe the soul from the perspective of the will of the universe, countless doubts and misunderstandings have vanished.

Shen Mu even had the illusion that all the mysteries were clear and all the doubts were resolved.

"Ah, I get it!"

Shen Mu felt an overwhelming joy, peace, and happiness that were difficult to express in words!

Even with Shen Mu's composure, he couldn't help but lose his composure.

Shen Mu remained immersed in comprehending the workings of the universe's laws for an unknown amount of time before finally snapping out of it.

"My mastery of the Dao of the Soul... has increased far too much."

"What I understood before was just the tip of the iceberg!"

Shen Mu let out a long sigh of relief. He was now unsure of his current level of cultivation or what kind of secret techniques he could create.

However, it should be no less than the gains from the chaotic evolution when breaking through to true godhood.

This kind of sudden enlightenment can only happen when one's will merges with the entire universe. To achieve this kind of advancement again, one must wait until one breaks through to the level of a true god.

Shen Mu raised his head and looked into the distance, where... the origin of the universe resided.

call out!

Shen Mu took a step forward, traversing endless light-years, and arrived at the true core of the origin of the universe.

A magnificent thing, difficult to describe in words, came into Shen Mu's view.

Shen Mu felt as if he had seen the 'Great Dao'!

"A true dragon...this is the true dragon!"

This is an endless, winding dragon with twenty-four claws and countless scales all over its body. Each scale seems to contain a world, filled with endless information and mysteries.

Its vastness and weight defy definition in language; it is so immense that it seems endless, and the concepts of size and size become meaningless.

"Is this... the river of time?"

Staring at the winding dragon, Shen Mu suddenly had a strange feeling, as if he were seeing the long river of time.

This is an ancient river that has spanned countless ages and accumulated countless years, seemingly an eternal existence that transcends everything.

Compared to this true primordial origin of the universe, even the corpse of the towering and endless God King of Jin, the previous incarnation of Master Zuoshanke, became insignificant, like dust.
