Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 237 The Great Collapse of the Primal Universe!

For the vast majority of beings, it is impossible for them to break through to the level of true gods in their entire lives.

Therefore, it doesn't matter whether one entrusts their destiny to a small universe of an ordinary true god or to a small universe of a void true god.

However, those beings with the talent and potential to break through to the level of a true god must at least reside within the small universe of a true god in the void; otherwise, they will never have the possibility of breaking through in their entire lives.

Therefore, all life forms in the primordial universe sought to entrust themselves to the universes of powerful beings like Shen Mu, Zuo Shan Ke, and Yuan Zu, who were destined to transcend reincarnation.

Especially Shen Mu's miniature universe, in recent years, has gained the title of Heavenly Sacred Realm in the cosmic sea due to the promotion by the powerful figures of Earth.

Those geniuses and strong individuals chosen to be placed in Shen Mu's miniature universe are jokingly referred to as being on the list of gods (possibly having the potential to break through to true godhood), which is quite awkward.

……

At this moment, in Shen Mu's small universe origin plane.

This is a small valley, within which lies a magnificent sapphire-like lake.

The lake shimmered, and a shapely figure rippled in the water, its skin shimmering with a white, jade-like luster, with faint starlight flickering within.

"Amu, the primordial universe is about to perish..."

Tang Yongqing looked somewhat emotional. Back then, she never imagined that one day she would witness the destruction of the universe.

Shen Mu could naturally sense Tang Yongqing's emotions and said with a smile, "It's just the end of one cycle of reincarnation. In the future, you and I will experience countless cycles of reincarnation, transcending time and cause and effect, and experiencing true eternity."

Tang Yongqing was slightly taken aback, and a look of desire appeared in her crystal-clear eyes.

"Is this... a confession?"

Tang Yongqing's emotions came on suddenly, because Shen Mu had never said anything like that to Tang Yongqing in countless eons.

He never uttered a single word like "I love you" or "I like you."

Phrases like "we'll be together forever" are rarely heard from Shen Mu.

This is not because Shen Mu is heartless, but simply because of his personality.

"Sister Yongqing, you've been studying my genetic structure for hundreds of billions of epochs, aren't you done yet?"

Shen Mu looked at Tang Yongqing helplessly.

Compared to dry and tedious methods of understanding principles, Tang Yongqing prefers to delve into more concrete things.

For example, weapon crafting.

Therefore, Shen Mu had obtained permission from the Mountain-Sitting Guest tens of trillions of years ago to teach Tang Yongqing the Mountain-Sitting Guest's art of weapon crafting.

For a period of time, Tang Yongqing became completely absorbed in cultivation and treasure refining.

With Shen Mu's help, Tang Yongqing was also able to enter the origin of the universe and comprehend the laws at an accelerated pace.

After more than two trillion epochs, Tang Yongqing finally reached the end of his reign as the Lord of the Universe, embarking on the path of divine power breakthrough and beginning to study the genetic structure of life.

If we were to talk about the most unique life genes in the entire universe, it would undoubtedly be Shen Mu, Chi Yi, and Luo Feng, who later broke through to a level of 100,000 times.

As Shen Mu's wife, Tang Yongqing naturally had to study Shen Mu's genes.

However, the methods of research... are not something that can be explained to outsiders.

Tang Yongqing took a deep breath, and the dazed look in her eyes gradually disappeared.

"It's all because of your genes, they're too tempting."

After shifting the blame to Shen Mu, Tang Yongqing promptly changed the subject: "The primordial universe is about to perish. Have the slots for your miniature universes been allocated yet?"

Those who can entrust themselves to the origin are beings with divine bodies.

Divine power is a product born from the intertwining of laws and life energy under the influence of the universe's operating rules, and it is closely related to the universe.

Once the universe is destroyed, those beings with divine bodies will all collapse unless they entrust their origins to other smaller universes.

"I don't need to worry about these problems; the teachers will take care of them."

"Moreover, there are quite a few people who will be able to break through to the Void God level in the future. For example, the Primordial Ancestor and the Giant Axe can both break through to the Void God level."

Besides the giant axe and the progenitor of the primordial universe, there are already quasi-void true gods in the cosmic sea who are undergoing their final breakthroughs.

Both the Star Lord of Beichi and the True Lord of the Divine Eye created their own tenth-order secret techniques. As long as they can condense the ten fundamental laws into the void, they can break through to the Void True God.

If a breakthrough is not achieved before the end of the cycle of reincarnation, then the only option is to entrust oneself to the small universes of Shen Mu or Luo Feng.

"Let's go, it's time to get out of the pass. They'll be getting impatient if we don't leave soon."

……

The central realm of the Heavenly Court, the magnificent Jade Palace.

Endless celestial radiance surged, and a majestic celestial palace, ten light-years in diameter, hung high above.

At this moment, within the most solemn palace, the divine power incarnations of true gods lined up side by side.

Those who are able to enter this celestial palace are all true gods.

There were over six thousand true gods in the entire primordial universe, of which more than eight hundred were direct descendants of the human race.

Of course, the term "direct descendant of human race" is rarely used nowadays.

Because the human race has intermarried with almost every race in the vast ocean of the universe and the primordial universe for trillions of epochs, the distinction between us has long been blurred.

Similar to the Divine Eye Clan and the Eastern Emperor Clan, they have long since become the same concept as the Wild God Clan and the Barbarian Clan within the original human race. They only differ in genes and no longer have racial differences.

"Teacher, why haven't the Alliance Leader and the seven elders shown up yet?"

"Yes, yes, I have grown up listening to stories of the Alliance Leader since I was born, but I have never had the honor of seeing the Alliance Leader in person."

More than seven trillion epochs have passed, which is more than half of the cycle of reincarnation, and it can indeed be called ancient.

From the time Shen Mu was born until he quelled the Great Calamity of the Beast Realm and destroyed the Purple Moon Holy Land, it was only a hundred billion epochs.

In contrast, Shen Mu was like a fleeting, brilliant star, shining brightly for a moment before disappearing into the distance.

Boom!

Suddenly, space and time surged violently.

One after another, figures shrouded in endless divine radiance appeared.

In order, they are Giant Axe, Divine Eye, Shell Edict, Primordial Ancestor, Eastern Emperor, Luo Feng, and Sitting Mountain Guest.

"They are the seven elders!"

"Elder Divine Eye and Elder Bech have also appeared. Both elders have been in seclusion for trillions of epochs. I wonder if they can transcend reincarnation!"

The solemn temple erupted in chaos upon the appearance of Luo Feng and the other six.

Over trillions of years, not only did Shen Mu cease to appear, but Luo Feng and others also rarely appeared in public.

Even when they do communicate, it mostly happens within their own small universes or in virtual universe networks.

Therefore, for the vast majority of newly ascended true gods and cosmic masters, the eight supreme powerhouses, including Shen Mu, are legendary figures.

hum!

Suddenly, a strange buzzing sound rang out.

The buzzing sound carried a special fluctuation of the soul, and the originally excited emotions of many true gods unconsciously calmed down.

Moreover, a feeling of great joy and peace welled up from the bottom of my heart.

Shen Mu's figure appeared silently amidst this strange fluctuation.

"Senior brother!"

"Amu!"

"Lord Alliance Leader!!!"

Shen Mu smiled and nodded, then said, "Please take your seats, everyone."

Nearly seven thousand true gods took their seats one after another, and Shen Mu and the others also sat on the eight most magnificent crystal thrones.

The mountain dweller sitting next to Shen Mu looked at Shen Mu with some suspicion.

"It seems that Shen Mu's apprentice has made considerable progress over the years."

"Especially in his mastery of the path of the soul, he has probably already surpassed me, his teacher."

The Mountain-Sitting Guest is not skilled in the Great Dao of the Soul, but this is in relation to the realm of the God-King.

If we were to take the insights of the Mountain Dweller into account, they would surpass the insights of most of the Chaos Realm experts on the entire Origin Continent regarding their main cultivation path.

Otherwise, the Mountain-Sitting Guest wouldn't have been able to set up such a special array on Earth that could transform the essence of the soul.

"The primordial universe is about to be destroyed. The true gods of the first cycle of reincarnation may choose to entrust their small universes to me, the Elder of the Milky Way, the Primordial Elder, or the Elder of the Eastern Emperor."

"In addition, Elder Bech and Elder Divine Eye are also preparing to transcend reincarnation. You may choose to entrust yourselves to the small universes of these two elders."

There were only a few dozen true gods in the first cycle of reincarnation, and even if they were all entrusted to Shen Mu's small universe, it wouldn't be many.

However, considering various factors and to avoid conflicts, entrusting Shen Mu and Luo Feng with their miniature universes is the most difficult task.

Upon hearing Shen Mu's words, dozens of true gods from the first era of reincarnation stood up and bowed to him.

"Secondly, with the relocation of primordial cosmic life imminent, everyone needs to cooperate fully to preserve as many sparks of life as possible."

"The planning and execution of the specific plan will be the responsibility of the Chaos City Lord."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Chaos City Lord stood up and said, "I will certainly not fail the Alliance Leader's orders!"

Then the meeting began with the Chaos City Lord presenting a relocation plan and connecting it with each of the True Gods.

Despite the butterfly effect of Shen Mu, the transmigrator, the total number of life forms and geniuses in the entire original universe has not changed much from the original story; it has only doubled.

The biggest change is in the proportion of these geniuses; those with bloodlines from the old-era human races now make up half of all geniuses.

All races have realized that the will of the primordial universe favors humans too much; as long as a being with human blood from the old era marries, the chances of giving birth to a genius will greatly increase.

Today, the cosmic sea contains nearly seven thousand true gods, and is supported by a small universe with a diameter of over 12 billion light-years, belonging to the Eastern Emperor Ancestor.

Relocating all lives is certainly unrealistic, but it's already tens of thousands of times better than what's described in the original story.

According to Shen Mu, anyone who can comprehend the mysteries of the laws at the cosmic level can bring ten slots and relocate to a smaller universe.

In this era, it is not too difficult to comprehend the mysteries of laws at the cosmic level; on average, one in ten thousand cosmic-level individuals can do it.

This threshold is already very low. The number of cosmic-level life forms in the entire primordial universe is far more than trillions. Even if you divide it by a thousand, the total number is still terrifyingly high.

"Nine Nether True God, you're in charge of the XX Star Region..."

"Lord of Illusion, you're in charge..."

The Chaos City Lord was in contact with several True God powerhouses, and Shen Mu and the others did not need to worry about the detailed plans.

At this moment, Shen Mu and the others were also communicating with each other telepathically.

"Bei Chi, Shen Yan, how confident are you in breaking through to the Void True God realm this time?"

Faced with Shen Mu's question, the two of them did not hide anything and were basically 90% certain.

Both of them had recently created tenth-level secret techniques under Shen Mu's guidance, and their cultivation levels were barely up to par.

Given enough time to reflect, a tenth-level True God breaking through to the Void True God realm is absolutely a certainty.

The problem is that time is running out; there is only a little over one epoch left before the destruction of the original universe.

Shen Mu nodded slightly, then said directly, "Go to the spaceship for seclusion later. I'll buy you an extra million epochs of time; that should be enough, right?"

"Thank you, Alliance Leader!"

"With another 100,000 epochs, we will surely succeed!"

Beside him, the burly, savage man's eyes lit up: "If I had a million epochs, I might be able to break through to the realm of a Void God."

The founder of the giant axe was indeed remarkable; he had already touched upon the Great Dao of the Axe when Shen Mu became the Lord of the Universe.

However, touching upon the fundamental Dao and comprehending it is a bottleneck.

This has nothing to do with time. A flash of inspiration can lead to a breakthrough at any time, just like when Shen Mu first stepped into the path of the soul.

The mystery of the soul is elusive and elusive.

Shen Mu had swept through the universe and become a true god, his invincible power touching his mind and leading him into a state of enlightenment, which allowed him to step into the path of the soul.

Without this sudden enlightenment, it might have taken trillions of epochs to break through simply by letting time settle.

The giant axe is such a case. It was already at the top of the ninth rank seven trillion epochs ago, but it has never been able to step onto the Great Dao of the Axe.

The giant axe has only created the prototype of a tenth-order secret technique and embarked on its own path through the void, with the possibility of breaking through at any time.

"In that case, Giant Axe should also go into seclusion on the spaceship."

Shen Mu's gaze fell on Luo Feng and Yuan Zu again, and he asked them about their understanding of the cultivation realm.

The Primordial Ancestor shook his head helplessly: "Creating a fourteenth-order secret technique is too difficult. Although I have some clues, there is not enough time."

Luo Feng's situation is the same. Over the years, he has been exchanging the mysteries of the Great Dao of Life and Destruction with Shen Mu and Chi Yi. Although he has made considerable progress, he is only at the limit level of the Void True God.

Although Luo Feng no longer faced the life-or-death crisis of fighting the World Beasts and did not possess the will to become a saint, he had an avatar comprehending the origin of the universe, so his progress was no slower than in the original story.

"Then there's not much of a problem. The birth and destruction of the primordial universe is a great opportunity. When the time comes, I will let the primordial universe release a wisp of your will to merge into the original plane of the universe, so that you can understand the destruction and birth of the universe and break through this barrier."

In the original novel, Luo Feng and the original ancestor's insights before the finale were on the same level.

However, Luo Feng finally comprehended the destruction of the primordial universe, which allowed him to break through to the realm of the Eternal True God.

The original ancestor himself broke through to the realm of Eternal True God not many years after entering the Origin Continent; the only difference between the two was the realization of the destruction of the universe.

"Would the primordial universe agree to this?"

The progenitor hesitated for a moment, as he had a "record" with the original will of the primordial universe.

Shen Mu laughed and said, "Don't worry, I've already made arrangements with the Primal Universe. I'll take you all with me, along with Brother Hong, Thor, and the others. We'll all go and witness the Great Cataclysm."

When Shen Mu first made this request, the Primal Universe firmly disagreed.

However, Shen Mu also has his own methods, as his understanding of the Dao of the Soul and the Dao of the Mind deepens.

Shen Mu has been training... guiding the original universe, which is not inherently intelligent, and educating (brainwashing) it.

The will of the universe is inherently foolish and naive, like a three-year-old child. Shen Mu's education over trillions of years has naturally swayed it.

In any case, neither Luo Feng nor the Primordial Ancestor possessed the will to become a Saint, posing no real danger to the Primordial Universe, and thus Shen Mu's request was finally agreed to.

……

An era is indeed a long period of time for planetary-level or even apprentice-level life forms.

But in the eyes of the strong, ten thousand years are but a fleeting moment.

In the final era of the cycle of reincarnation, there was exciting news.

The Divine Eye Lord, the Star Lord of Bechid, and the Founder of the Giant Axe successively broke through to the realm of Void True God.

……

Boom!

On this day, a peculiar fluctuation suddenly emanated from the entire primordial universe.

Then, huge cracks appeared on the membrane of the primordial universe, and a sense of decay and decay swept across the entire cosmic sea.

At this moment, all the true gods knew that this cycle of reincarnation had come to an end.

The primordial universe, the continent where the Hongmeng headquarters is located.

A spacetime vortex appeared in front of Shen Mu and the others, and a wave of mental energy emanated from it.

This extreme fatigue of thought is a sign that the primordial will of the original universe is about to fall into slumber.

The will of the primordial universe will only be reawakened when the next cycle of reincarnation begins.

"Let's go, let's set off!"

With a wave of his hand, Shen Mu sent divine power emanations behind him soaring into the primordial plane of the universe, transforming into streaks of light.

Among them were Shen Mu's relatives and friends, as well as his teachers and mentors from all along. Even Hu Yanbo had a spot.

After hearing the news, many of Hu Yanbo's friends were both envious and jealous, but no one dared to hate him. They just kept complaining that Hu Yanbo was too lucky.

……

Within the vast cosmic sea, on the majestic deck of a spaceship, stood a massive group of powerful individuals.

The temporary guide, a rampaging demon god, led over six thousand true gods and nearly a million cosmic lords from the primordial universe to witness the destruction of the universe.

"The scene of the destruction of the primordial universe is truly awe-inspiring. If you carefully comprehend it, you might be able to break through your bottleneck," the rampaging demon god said with a strange laugh.

These words shocked thousands of true gods and millions of universe lords.

Is it still possible to break through the bottleneck?

"Elder Hengxing, how long until the universe is destroyed?"

"Exactly, I can't wait any longer."

"Speaking of which, if the original universe were to collapse, would that affect us?"

The rampaging demon god patiently explained the issues to each of the true gods. He was optimistic, active, and loved making friends.

But as time passed and the cycle of reincarnation ended, the friends who roamed the demon god perished one by one, leaving only the Lord of the Bechi Star.

This also twisted the mind of the Rampaging Demon God, making him infamous in the Cosmic Sea. In the end, it was the Hongmeng platform that gave the Rampaging Demon God a chance for redemption.

Just as the rampaging demon was explaining, a huge roar resounded.

The entire primordial universe began to collapse madly, countless cosmic realms and star fields crumbled in response, and the cracked cosmic membrane scattered in all directions, allowing for rapid exploration.

Countless extreme celestial bodies and trillions of galaxies are dissolving and collapsing, turning into endless streams of particles that are collapsing toward the very center of the primordial universe.

Spacetime ceased to exist, and the entire primordial universe transformed into a massive vortex at this moment, with countless energies and matter merging to form a new cosmic singularity!

This breathtaking scene is nothing short of endless fury and intensity!

The spaceship was indeed magnificent, but compared to the primordial universe, it was like a paper boat compared to a star.

For these true gods, witnessing the destruction of the primordial universe is like an ant looking up at the collapse of a star.

This indescribable sense of insignificance is deeply imprinted on their souls.
