Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 298 Return to the Origin Continent

"Don't worry, Senior Yuan, I will not perish."

After Yuan left, Shen Mu had completely completed this transformation.

Every move he makes contains the power of a complete source world, comparable to a lord-level powerhouse.

However, after leaving the True Spirit Holy Realm, without the support of the world, Shen Mu's every move could only be compared to the full power of a small world like the Boundless Nine Wonders Mountain.

Of course, although the Boundless Nine Wonders Mountain is small, it is still relative to the True Spirit Holy Realm. It can still contain countless universes.

"Time, speed up!"

With a thought, Shen Mu increased the flow of time in the entire Origin World by hundreds of millions of times.

Life forms within the Source World are unaware of any changes in time. However, for the world's origin, this means that the rate of its consumption has increased by hundreds of millions of times, while the efficiency of absorbing energy from the Chaotic Origin Space has not improved.

This accelerated state of time cannot last for very long, otherwise the True Spirit Holy Realm would be downgraded from a super-large source world that nurtured countless Chaos Realm level beings to an ordinary source world similar to the Origin Continent.

However, Shen Mu doesn't need to maintain this accelerated time state for long. It's only a few hundred million times the flow rate, accelerating for a few decades. In reality, after billions of years, it wouldn't even cause serious damage to a super-large source world.

In Shen Mu's heart, the ultimate mysteries of the endless mind-image path merged and deduced a higher level of primordial mind-image and primordial soul.

Countless mysteries are merging with each other, evolving into all sorts of wonders.

Shen Mu's own primordial power was also intertwining and changing, constructing a profound divine body and soul structure, which enhanced his own power.

Shen Mu is currently only at the initial stage of the Hunyuan level, because the essence of his power has been enhanced.

The next step is simply to integrate higher-level mysteries, change the structure, delve into the bloodline, and improve the bloodline as well, so that one can become a world-class mid-stage or even late-stage being.

This process is countless times easier than comprehending the Great Dao of Hunyuan. In at most a few decades, Shen Mu will be able to become a world-class perfect being, increasing the strength of his divine body countless times, and supporting a divine body that is one percent the volume of a source world.

The next instant, Shen Mu's figure disappeared from the spot.

With Shen Mu's current comprehension and wisdom, multitasking will not affect the speed of his deduction of the Hunyuan Dao.

……

Beneath the ancestral tower of the Chiwu Dynasty.

Returning here again, Shen Mu looked at the ancestral tower and saw through all its mysteries at a glance.

"Having gathered the power of faith over countless years, it was indeed to awaken itself from its seal."

Shen Mu gently raised his hand and tapped it in mid-air, causing the entire ancestral tower to tremble and melt.

In an instant, figures flew out from the ancestral tower.

"Master!"

"Owner!"

"Your Excellency!"

The three figures inside the ancestral tower were a phantom dragon at the God King realm that Shen Mu had enslaved, a disciple named Li Yangchen, and a concubine named Chiwu Liyue from the Chiwu clan.

"In this realm, I have no relatives or friends. You few have followed me for some time, so we can be considered to have some kind of connection."

As Shen Mu finished speaking, supreme rules emerged, and boundless divine power surged into the bodies of the three, forcibly propelling their bloodlines and divine bodies to ascend, instantly soaring to the level of innate low-level primordial beings.

His actual combat strength is not even as good as that of the most ordinary God Emperor, but he is not weak at all when facing a God King at the third level who has mastered the ultimate Dao.

"Master, Master... what is this?"

Li Yangchen swallowed hard, feeling the surge of his bloodline power within him, which had increased countless times over, and spoke with an incredulous expression.

Shen Mu laughed heartily: "From this day forward, all you need to do is comprehend the principles contained within your own bloodline."

"Even if you can't understand it, it doesn't matter. As long as you hone your will and control your own power, theoretically you can become an existence like Indra."

Lower-level Chaos Origin Lifeforms are unable to control their own power. The higher the level of Chaos Origin Lifeform, the less they can comprehend its mysteries, let alone fully mobilize it.

If one can fully utilize this power to strengthen their divine body, they can become a perfected God Emperor cultivator within the bloodline system.

If one can further comprehend the mysteries of the primordial chaos and achieve semi-primordial chaos rules, their soul will also undergo a transformation, becoming a true semi-primordial chaos life form.

For the three of them, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they had achieved instant success.

This is the method of the master of the source world: within his own source world, he can forcibly resurrect anyone from the endless past and grant them a powerful bloodline with eternal life.

Even a lord-level being cannot unleash such power without controlling a source world.

"Thank you so much, Your Excellency, for your great kindness!"

Chiwu Liyue knelt on the ground, while Huanlong Venerable beside her bowed down in worship.

"There's no need for that. Our karmic connection has come to an end. If one day any of you are able to achieve ultimate awakening and transcend this shackle, I can directly use the power of the world's origin to transform you into true world-class beings."

World-class life forms generally control a source world, but there are also world-class life forms whose source world has been broken and who have no source world to control.

The True Spirit Holy Realm is a super-large source world, capable of nurturing life forms born at the Chaos Realm, making it the most top-tier source world.

Even in the vast world, those beings are born only at the Chaos Realm, not because the origin of the vast world is so powerful, but because of the power of the bloodline progenitor.

As for worlds that are inherently at the level of God-Kings, even if they were forcibly created, they could never be the source worlds; at most, they would be similar to the Great Thousand Worlds.

As soon as Shen Mu finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot.

In this realm, there are not many people who are truly close to Shen Mu. Apart from the three people in front of him, there is also Lei Yan Tianzun, who is enslaved in the boundless Nine Wonders Mountain world.

Shen Mu also casually transformed Lei Yan Tianzun into a powerful being at the God Emperor level.

Lei Yan Tianzun was an enlightened being who had achieved the fusion of some branches of the original Great Dao, and his will far surpassed that of Chi Wu Li Yue and the other two.

Now that he has directly achieved the Hunyuan bloodline body, the power he can unleash is no weaker than that of the Divine Calculator in the early stage of the God Emperor realm.

Finally, Shen Mu also helped Di Shitian and several other palace masters transform. For those who seek enlightenment, having a bloodline at the Hunyuan level is not a bad thing. Enlightenment and bloodline are never contradictory.

Originally, Di Shitian, who was in the late stage of the God Emperor realm, achieved a physical body at the perfect level of the God Emperor realm after possessing the innate Chaos Origin. However, his soul was still at the mid-stage of the God Emperor realm.

"Would the Palace Master be willing to spend some time in a training world, where there might be a chance to transcend the confines of this world?"

Di Shitian's talent is also extremely high. He had previously gained the recognition of the Origin Will and controlled the Shadow World. His combat power in the True Spirit World was already comparable to that of a God Emperor at the Perfection level.

Di Shitian was taken aback, then bowed slightly and said, "Please enlighten me, Palace Master."

After Shen Mu recounted the situation in the cultivation holy realm, a brilliant light shone in the eyes of the Emperor Shitian Palace Master.

"Please, Lord of the Palace, send me to the Holy Realm of Cultivation. Whether I transcend or perish, it will all be my own destiny!"

"If he transcends worldly desires in the future, Indra will surely pledge allegiance to the Palace Master!"

Every being who has stood at the pinnacle of the Origin World for countless years yearns to go even further.

Shen Mu laughed and said, "Alright, I'll take you there right away. You can go directly to Leichi City, where I have two friends."

After speaking, Shen Mu's palm flashed with spiritual light, transforming into countless Dao gates.

The Infinite Daoist Sect can slice through the infinite void, reducing it to a mere foot's distance.

Previously, when Shen Mu traversed the infinite chaotic spacetime, it wasn't that he was traversing it himself, but rather that the infinite characteristics of the spacetime in front of him were being severed. The effect was similar to spacetime folding, but the underlying principles were different.

If the Infinite Dao Gate is a treasure of the Primordial Void Dao, then Shen Mu wouldn't be traversing between worlds, but rather teleporting directly between them.

After sending Di Shitian over, Shen Mu did not go to see Cang Sheng, Cheng Suichuan, and other old friends he had known for hundreds of millions of years.

After all, time acceleration was still on, and Shen Mu didn't want to waste any of the world's origin power—it was all his money!

"After I've fully comprehended the Great Dao of Hunyuan, I'll go visit these old friends."

Shen Mu plans to create a small Origin World, connecting the Origin Continent, the True Spirit Holy Realm, the Great Thousand World, and the Cultivation Holy Realm, allowing his friends and family to freely travel and experience these worlds.

"I can use this time to collect wisdom and spirituality, so that my Wisdom Wheel can also evolve into an incomparably powerful Primordial Divine Weapon."

Time goes by in circles.

In the blink of an eye, billions of years have passed.

At the summit of Tianzhu Mountain, Shen Mu sat cross-legged, with a dreamlike wheel of wisdom spinning behind him.

The True Spirit Holy Realm is infinitely vast, containing not only continents but also various cosmic dimensions, god-king universes, and more.

There are simply too many life forms in these universes; every instant, countless thoughts and spiritualities, like the sands of the Ganges, converge from endless space and time.

In that instant, billions of years had passed, and Shen Mu's Wheel of Wisdom had also transformed to its pinnacle, with countless beams of wisdom evolving into the ultimate mysteries of the soul.

"After more than six billion years, we are finally about to comprehend this primordial Dao."

In Shen Mu's eyes, the mysteries of the boundless mind and soul merge and evolve into the primordial mind, the mystery of the ultimate will.

At this moment, Shen Mu was able to clearly foresee how long it would take him to achieve the Lord level.

Before this period of seclusion, Shen Mu had already sent one of his avatars back to the Origin Continent.

However, the original flow of time in the Origin Continent was slow, and the True Spirit God Realm accelerated it by hundreds of millions of times. Billions of years passed, but there it was only equivalent to a few days.

……

The cosmic sea, the path of reincarnation.

In the colorful cycle of reincarnation, a white jade-like portal suddenly appeared.

Shen Mu, dressed in white, emerged from the doorway.

The moment Shen Mu appeared, time seemed to freeze throughout the entire cosmic sea.

Countless supreme rules intertwined, forming a massive ball of light that descended—this was the primordial will of the Origin Continent.

"Outsider, leaving..."

The original will transmitted a message, but it suddenly stopped halfway through.

Something's not right. Something's nine out of ten things is wrong.

The divine power clone of this primordial life form before me somehow exudes the aura of native life from the primordial continent.

When did I give birth to such a powerful, mature child from the Hunyuan realm?

"I am Shen Mu. My true form is in the Cosmic Sea, in my miniature universe. You can see for yourself."

Shen Mu smiled and communicated with the primordial will of the Origin Continent.

An invisible will swept over Shen Mu's true form as an Earthling, and then over the incarnation of the Primordial Divine Power.

It has been confirmed that they do indeed share the same origin.

"After you transcend the external world and return, you must unleash the power of a god-king."

The primordial will conveyed another message.

Shen Mu raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this.

"No, my original Earthling self, as a Chaos Realm being, already possesses a divine body comparable to the weakest God-King. What's the point then?"

Shen Mu began to confront the Origin Continent, and was able to release his aura of world-class perfection.

Although Shen Mu only brought a drop of divine power here, even a drop of divine power contains energy far exceeding that of the entire primordial universe.

As for Shen Mu's true form, if he wished, he could stand outside the Origin Continent and bombard this Origin World, thus reducing it to its original state.

Without a world ruler, the source world can only be beaten, just like the world beasts bullying the primordial universe.

For the source world, destroying the source itself will not cause any damage, but the source will will be completely destroyed. Although a new source will will be born, it will not be the same as the original.

"You can only unleash the power of the first level of God-King."

The original will yielded.

Shen Mu continued, "Then what about my original Earthling self?"

"There are no restrictions."

Shen Mu nodded slightly: "That's enough, you can leave now."

Boom!

The entire cosmic sea roared, as if the primordial will was conveying its discontent, before finally disappearing completely.

Shen Mu smiled and shook his head, then took a step forward, transforming into a drop of light that appeared directly in his own miniature universe.

hum!

This drop of divine power surged into the miniature universe, causing the miniature universe, which was already trillions in diameter, to expand once again.

In a very short time, it surpassed the original universe and continued to expand, without absorbing any external energy throughout the entire process.

……

At this moment, in the core dimension of the Hunyuan Sacred Land, on Earth.

Shen Mu, who was having afternoon tea with Tang Yongqing, closed his eyes slightly. When he opened them again, a faint smile appeared on his face.

The fact that his clones had been traveling to various worlds for less than a billion years was nothing to Shen Mu, since he had already spent an entire cycle in the Cosmic Sea.

"Amu, you... broke through?"

Tang Yongqing's nature was also entrusted to Shen Mu's miniature universe, and she immediately sensed the transformation of the universe.

If one's beloved is already at the Chaos Realm, and breaks through to the next level... wouldn't that make them a legendary God-King?

Shen Mu nodded slightly and said, "Yes, he broke through, and he's very strong after the breakthrough."

From the moment his clone left until his return, only ten years had passed in the cosmic sea.

But now, neither the Cosmic Sea nor the Supreme Rules can restrict him from freely traversing the Cosmic Sea dimensions and the Origin Continent.

"Sister Yongqing, do you want to comprehend the laws of chaos?"

As soon as Shen Mu finished speaking, Tang Yongqing's pretty face became wary. She recalled her past experiences and shook her head repeatedly.

"don't want!"

Shen Mu laughed heartily: "This time it's not an illusion anymore, it's a direct empowerment!"

As he spoke, Shen Mu gently touched Tang Yongqing's forehead.
