Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 297 World-class Chaotic Origin Life Form, Achieved!

In the blink of an eye, Shen Mu's soul completely merged with the entire Origin World.

The supreme rules and countless fundamental principles all entered Shen Mu's perception.

The truly perfect origin of the world is infinitely mysterious and operates according to the rules of the fundamental great paths, giving birth to endless universes and countless lives.

While worlds like the Great Thousand World and the Holy Realm of Cultivation possess a higher energy level than the Source World, their underlying principles are crude and incomplete, making them different from the Source World.

Creating a vast world is something even a lord-level being could do; it just requires a long time and a lot of effort.

However, creating a true source world, like the creation of the World Heart Continent by 'Yuan', is not something that can be done easily. It requires a terrifyingly profound understanding of the principles.

As his soul merged into a corner of the entire source world, Shen Mu also saw various universes.

Some universes are naturally formed, while others are small universes created by the God-King. These universes are very small compared to the main plane of the source world.

However, there are far too many of them. You must know that the True Spirit Holy Realm is too powerful; mortals are born into the Chaos Realm.

With such a vast foundation, the number of those who achieve God-King status is extremely large, and the number of God-King universes is as numerous as the stars in the sky.

In countless universes, each universe is inhabited by endless life.

Although each universe is weak, their sheer number consumes far more of the world's primordial power than the True Spirit Continent, thus taking up the majority of the world's resources.

The same applies to all living beings. There are simply too many ordinary beings in the universe. They can only ascend to the True Spirit Continent by cultivating to the Chaos Realm; otherwise, they simply cannot survive.

But this is simply impossible. In the God-King Universe, the existence of beings at the level of Eternal True Gods is already an absolute prodigy, possessing the potential to become God-Kings.

As for achieving the Chaos Realm in the God-King Universe, it can almost be described as a protagonist-level talent.

"Everyone... have faith in me."

Shen Mu murmured softly, his voice echoing throughout the entire True Spirit Continent, countless universes, and every corner of the Origin World.

However, the living beings could not hear Shen Mu's voice; they were merely affected by it.

In the northwest region of the True Spirit Continent, within the towering ancestral tower, Li Yangchen, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes. He had fully comprehended the essence of life, mastered a branch of the fundamental Dao, and formed his own universe's operating rules.

"It's finally done, Master!"

"I've finally broken through!"

Although Li Yangchen had broken through at this time, it had taken too long, so long that it was no longer possible for him to become Shen Mu's true disciple.

Thinking of Shen Mu, Li Yangchen's expression grew even more reverent, and he couldn't help but think that Shen Mu was the master of the entire True Spirit Holy Realm.

Similar thoughts appeared not only in Li Yangchen, but also in countless Chaos Realm beings on the True Spirit Continent, and in countless beings in the mortal universe.

The will of all beings resonates, not only these beings in the Chaos Realm, but also ordinary beings at the first level of the God King Realm. Only those supreme beings who have mastered the ultimate Dao and achieved the God Emperor Realm can remain unaffected.

However, their influence on the origin of the world accounts for at most one percent of all endless life.

In a single instant, the will of all living beings simultaneously thought of Shen Mu, of the master of the Origin Temple, and sincerely believed that Shen Mu was the master of this Origin World.

At this moment, the wills of countless beings finally resonated under Shen Mu's influence.

This is not merely a forced faith that enslaves the soul—that kind of behavior is too crude—but rather a genuine guidance of the will of all beings, a resonance of a great will, and an suppression of the world's fundamental will.

In the instant that the wills of all beings resonated, Shen Mu felt the origin of the source world, which completely opened its arms to him.

The will of all living beings is the will of the world.

The primordial will is merely the will of the world's origin, not the true will of the source world; they are not on the same level.

"Refine!"

Previously, Shen Mu's soul and will were integrated into the origin of the source world, not that he mastered the origin of the source world.

In the time it takes to breathe, Shen Mu completely refined the entire Origin World's origin with his own soul, thus gaining complete control over this Origin World.

At this moment, the origin of the world became another body for Shen Mu.

"boom!"

An incredibly vast source world.

It was as if one's own physical body had been possessed, as if this source world had been taken over and transformed into an avatar.

The endless origin of the world descended, propelling Shen Mu's life level and initiating a great leap.

As the master of the Origin World, one must be a Hunyuan expert. After the origin of the world becomes a part of oneself, one's life level will directly leap to the level of a world-class Hunyuan expert!

After mastering the Origin World, Shen Mu looked at the endless Origin Great Dao and the Supreme Rules as if he were looking at the mysteries contained in his own Hunyuan Bloodline, just as an ordinary person could see the lines on the palm of their hand.

Shen Mu's life level rose wildly, his soul and body underwent a dramatic transformation, and his will also soared.

The will of a true world-class primordial being spread out, not only enveloping the entire primordial world, but also extending into the primordial space to the outside.

Looking down at the True Spirit Realm from this angle, it resembles a radiant disc that is slowly expanding.

The current source world is still in a growth phase of a cycle of reincarnation. After it reaches a limit, it will begin its destruction phase.

Even without the interference of the Destroyer Demons, this primordial world, because the life it nurtured was too powerful, would not be able to withstand it and would collapse and be reborn like the primordial universe.

At this moment, Shen Mu could feel his Origin World Body devouring the infinite air currents and matter in the Chaos Origin Space at a terrifying speed, transforming them into his own world origin and giving birth to countless beings.

The growth rate of this world's origin is terrifyingly fast. At least for Shen Mu, no matter how much he consumes, he can only slow down the expansion of the origin world.

"No wonder world-class life forms are so powerful in the source world. Before the source world was completely destroyed, they were able to resurrect infinitely and possess endless power."

Within the Origin World, every move Shen Mu made seemed to be a piece of the Origin World crashing down, possessing combat power comparable to a true Lord-level life form.

It's important to understand that even for a Lord-level being, destroying the Source World isn't so easy.

It's not that shattering the source world and turning it into a mass of origin means destruction. That only pushes the source world's cycle of destruction, without causing any real loss to the world's origin.

Only when even the origin is completely annihilated can a source world be truly destroyed.

Ordinary lord-level beings, unless they are lords of the Enlightened One lineage who have achieved the Eternal Throne, cannot easily and completely annihilate a source world.

If that Origin World had a master, like Shen Mu, it would be enough to contend with ordinary lords, preventing him from truly annihilating the Origin World's essence.

"Very good, swallow it!"

Shen Mu controlled the Origin World, greatly increasing the speed at which he absorbed external primordial matter.

At the same time, Shen Mu's own transformation is also accelerating rapidly.

The transformation from a high-level primordial life form to a world-class initial stage requires immense energy.

If Shen Mu were to directly absorb the energy of the source world, countless universes and god-king worlds would be destroyed.

Even the most ordinary newly promoted world-class world is equivalent to a super-small source world.

As for mid-stage world-class powerhouses, their physical bodies alone are three to four times stronger than those of newly promoted world-class powerhouses, and the same goes for their strength, soul will, and so on. Their overall strength is much greater, and they can kill newly promoted world-class powerhouses in three to five moves.

As for the later stages of the world-class realm, the sheer size of a divine body can rival one percent of the volume of a standard source world, equivalent to countless primordial universes, cosmic seas, and so on.

Shen Mu's massive absorption of matter and energy from the boundless void of chaos affected the vast territory in just a moment.

The 108 source worlds that the entire Wuyin Nine Wonders Mountain has experienced belong to a special territory. They were previously isolated from the infinite primordial spacetime by Yuan Suo himself for Shen Mu to train.

The moment Shen Mu achieved world-class status, this huge fluctuation naturally alerted Yuan first.

hum!

In the void, a figure appeared out of thin air. The newcomer was none other than the most ancient Daoist, Lord Hunyuan, Yuan.

Generally speaking, being able to comprehend a single primordial rule is enough to become an enlightened lord.

However, the number of enlightened beings in the entire Hunyuan Space is less than two, which shows how difficult it is to directly comprehend a Hunyuan Great Dao.

As the first Daoist Lord, Yuan was very strong and ancient. Even Shen Mu believed that he might have comprehended more than one of the Hunyuan rules.

"I didn't expect you to break through to the world level so quickly."

Congratulations, little one.

Yuan was indeed somewhat surprised, but after a brief glance, he knew that Shen Mu had grasped the origin of the world in a manner similar to possession.

This is very difficult, and practically impossible.

Because it is almost impossible for a higher-level primordial life form to seize control of the source world, unless the world's original will does not resist.

"Spreading faith, suppressing the original will with the will of all living beings, and thereby refining the origin of the world—this path can actually be followed."

Even ordinary lords can see the endless past of a source world, so for Yuan, it is not a problem at all. He saw at a glance how Shen Mu refined the source world.

"It seems that my initial deduction was correct, but to achieve a perfect resonance of the will of all beings, one needs to master the ultimate soul."

Shen Mu replaced Dongbo Xueying and became the first soul ultimate being. Naturally, he was also the first to interfere with the source world with the will of all living beings and become a world-class being.

But before this, similar rumors existed in various worlds within the infinite primordial spacetime.

The legend originates from the belief that the will of all living beings is the will of the world, and that whoever can control all living beings can control the world.

However, before Shen Mu, no one had ever succeeded; the scattered will of all living beings could not suppress the original will.

"I have not failed in my mission. With Senior Yuan's guidance, if I am this slow even to become a world-class expert, how could I possibly comprehend the rules and become a lord?"

Shen Mu, who was still undergoing transformation, stood up and bowed slightly to Yuan Wei.

Yuan laughed heartily, grinning to reveal his large yellow teeth, and put on a humble appearance.

"Hey, your success is mainly due to your own talent. How much effort did I put in?"

"It's just spreading the Lieyuan Technique, just refining a Primordial Treasure with the blood of the Infinite Serpent, just shifting one hundred and eight Origin Worlds to create opportunities for you to gain experience, just..."

Yuan humbly listed all the ways he had helped Shen Mu, and then burst into laughter.

"Haha, of course, I've given away too many opportunities. The initial creation of an indestructible Origin World was all to cultivate new Chaos Origin experts, but none of them succeeded."

"Little Shen Mu, you need to work harder. Don't think that just because you've reached the world-class level in a short time, you can easily understand the rules. Countless world-class perfectionists haven't even taken this step."

No one can definitively say that a particular being will be able to comprehend the rules and achieve the lord-level status.

Even with conventional energy accumulation systems, studying bloodlines, and achieving the rank of lord, it's impossible to predict who will succeed. No one can guarantee that a certain prodigy will definitely succeed, and the same applies to Yuan.

"Don't worry, Senior Yuan, I will definitely work hard."

Shen Mu didn't mention that after mastering the ultimate soul, he allowed his semi-primordial level mental rules to undergo a crazy transformation, and that he would be able to master these rules in at most a few billion years.

The ultimate goal of the soul is to greatly transform one's wisdom and spirituality, bringing true enlightenment to its peak.

This is like the ultimate state of mind that comes after one has reached the ultimate level of the Way of the Mind. Although different people have different paths to the Way of the Mind and different levels of will, there is no distinction between high and low in the state of mind. It is a flawless Way mind.

Different ultimate insights will lead to the mastery of different ultimate characteristics.

However, some ultimate paths possess extraordinary characteristics, such as the ultimate state of mind in the Mind Path, or the ultimate comprehension and wisdom in the Soul Path.

"You brat, you're actually so confident you can comprehend the Chaos Origin Rules?"

Although Shen Mu did not say it explicitly, those at the Yuan level could roughly discern Shen Mu's emotions, which were one of absolute confidence and composure.

If it were confidence and arrogance, Yuan would only think that Shen Mu had become arrogant, but there was still a sense of stability and conservatism in him.

"I am indeed somewhat confident. The ultimate path of the soul has given me the ultimate comprehension, but it will still take a long time."

Shen Mu did not directly say how long it would take for him to achieve success; if he hadn't, he hadn't. He couldn't make any promises he couldn't keep.

"Alright, alright, I'll be waiting to be on equal footing with you, little guy."

Yuan laughed and then said, "Since you have achieved world-class status, as long as you leave an avatar in the Origin World, you will have the power to protect yourself and will not be easily killed."

"I'll remove the isolation measures for this territory. You can guard this Fangyuan World yourself."

"When the time comes, some naturally born Primordial Creatures will realize that you have achieved world-class status and may hunt you down. But don't worry, as long as you are not instantly killed, a few of us old guys from the Enlightenment lineage will be able to arrive as soon as possible."

Within the Origin World, Shen Mu is comparable to an ordinary lord. Unless surrounded and attacked by a group of naturally born Primordial Ancestors, he will not be instantly killed.

Moreover, even if he is killed, it is only the destruction of an avatar; Shen Mu's insights will not truly disappear.
