Emperor Wu Shihuang's handwriting, do not go out of the Milky Way border

"I see." Ying Zheng nodded. Then he gestured to You Yunzi, "Fellow Daoist, why don't you come in and have a seat?"

"Please," You Yunzi said with a smile.

The two walked into the Lingyuan Immortal Palace, one after the other.

After entering the celestial palace, Ying Zheng led You Yunzi to a secluded courtyard to sit down.

Then, with a slight thought, the flower fairies brought out various celestial fruits and spirit wines, and there were also musicians and dancers.

Clearly, Ying Zheng's predecessor, Yan Zun, greatly admired this kind of grand display.

"I wonder which realm you come from, my friend?" You Yunzi asked Ying Zheng after sitting down.

"The Vermilion Bird Spirit Platform Star Region," Ying Zheng replied. "And where are you, fellow Daoist?"

"The Vermilion Bird Spirit Platform Star Region?!" You Yunzi looked surprised.

"What's wrong?" Ying Zheng smiled.

You Yunzi looked at Ying Zheng with the eyes of someone looking at a monster. Then, he seemed to compose himself, apologized to Ying Zheng, and said, "For billions of years, supreme beings from all regions have come to provide support, and some have left when their terms expire. Only your Vermilion Bird Spirit Platform Star Region has never had a supreme being come."

“Oh, of course, except for Immortal Venerable Hongluo and Holy Venerable Daweide,” You Yunzi added.

The Crimson Immortal Venerable and his companions are among the top combat forces in the Primordial Universe.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, fellow Daoist." Ying Zheng chuckled.

From this perspective, the Vermilion Bird Spirit Platform Star Region seems to have indeed been somewhat unrighteous over the past billions of years.

However, this is also a problem for Immortal Venerable Hongluo and the others. It is unknown why Immortal Venerable Hongluo forgot about the Vermilion Bird Spirit Platform Star Region for billions of years, and now suddenly issued a decree to summon all the Supreme Beings.

“However, with the arrival of reinforcements from the Vermilion Bird Spirit Platform Star Region, we now have another large domain of reinforcements. In that case, the Primordial Chaos Formation should be safe,” You Yunzi said with a smile.

"That great battle three thousand years ago was truly breathtaking. I've been worried about it all these years, but now I can finally feel a little more at ease."

Upon hearing You Yunzi's words, Ying Zheng's heart stirred. "Fellow Daoist, could you tell me about the course of that great battle three thousand years ago?"

Without much hesitation, You Yunzi nodded, "Of course."

As he spoke, his expression turned serious, and fear still lingered in his eyes.

"The overall strength of the Spirit God Universe is greater than that of our Hongmeng Universe. This seems to be an undeniable fact for everyone."

"That's why we're willing to risk everything to block this passage that the Spirit God Universe has carved out."

"Once the two universes are connected, and the powerful beings of the Spirit God Universe launch a massive invasion, our Hongmeng Universe will be utterly powerless to resist! At that time, the catastrophe of the destruction of the Origin Realm billions of years ago will inevitably be repeated!"

"Billions of years ago, since the enemy had already invaded, how did we manage to defend ourselves?" Ying Zheng couldn't help but ask again.

You Yunzi's face showed a look of shock. "At that time, the Spirit God Universe had just opened the cosmic passage. The passage was narrow, and only thirteen experts quietly infiltrated our Hongmeng Universe."

"After they arrived in the Origin Realm, they saw that the cultivators of our Hongmeng Universe were far inferior to them, so they became arrogant and malicious. They joined forces to attack the Origin Realm and almost wiped out everyone in the Origin Realm."

"Fortunately, they were too arrogant and underestimated us. As a result, several Star Lords of my Origin Realm retaliated and killed all thirteen of them! At the same time, by studying their divine cores, we learned about their origins and this cosmic passage!"

"Thus, after discussions among the surviving Star Lords, this Primordial Array was established."

"If those powerful beings from the Spirit God Universe hadn't been so arrogant, and had simply stayed hidden for a while longer, then worked together from within and without to further open the cosmic passage and let the great creator god-level beings from the Spirit God Universe come over, our Hongmeng Universe would definitely have been destroyed!"

"The Great Creator God...!" Ying Zheng couldn't help but savor the title.

“That’s the most powerful being in the Spirit God Universe!” You Yunzi said, his expression filled with fear.

“The Spirit God Universe is different from our Primordial Universe. Their primary method of cultivation is to draw upon the power of faith, following a path similar to ours where people become gods through incense offerings.”

"During their mortal stage, they begin to comprehend the laws of the universe. Once they comprehend one of them, they can ignite the divine fire, ascend the divine throne, become true gods, and condense their true divine essence."

"Their power is all stored within their divine core. Their divine core is equivalent to our primordial spirit. As long as the divine core is intact, the true god is immortal. Once the divine core is shattered, they will immediately perish without a burial place."

As You Yunzi spoke, he sneered, "In comparison, the Great Dao of my Hongmeng Universe is far more powerful than that of their Spirit God Universe."

"As long as a wisp of primordial spirit remains, one is immortal and indestructible. Moreover, cultivators only need to cultivate themselves and don't need to care about any faith. But those true gods, if their faith is lost, will quickly decline. The drawbacks are numerous!"

"Cultivators in the Spirit God Universe, let's set aside the mortal stage for now. Once they ignite their divine fire, they can become the most basic true gods, roughly equivalent to the Great Luo Golden Immortals in our Hongmeng Universe."

"So tall?!" Ying Zheng's heart skipped a beat.

"Once a mortal becomes a god, they are essentially equivalent to a Great Luo Golden Immortal?!"

It should be understood that in the Hongmeng Universe, ordinary cultivators who cultivate to become immortals are initially only Earth Immortals, then Heavenly Immortals, then Golden Immortals, Taiyi Heavenly Immortals, and finally Daluo Golden Immortals.

The opponent skipped so many cultivation stages as soon as they became a god?!
The primordial world also has a path to godhood through incense offerings, but it's nowhere near as outrageous as the Spirit God Universe. This path is not only fraught with restrictions but also extremely tedious to cultivate, so it's practically deserted. Only in remote large and small worlds would anyone choose this path of godhood through incense offerings.

At this moment, You Yunzi also seemed a little embarrassed. He quickly explained, "The conditions required for them to become true gods are also very demanding. They need the faith of at least 100 million believers to support them."

“Once their faith is insufficient, their power will rapidly weaken. At that point, let alone a Great Luo Golden Immortal, even an Earth Immortal could easily kill them.”

"Yes, I understand." Ying Zheng nodded, but his heart remained heavy.

“Their true gods can be divided into three stages: lower-level gods, middle-level gods, and higher-level gods,” You Yunzi continued.

"The gap between a mid-level god and a high-level god is actually not that big. Generally speaking, the strongest high-level god can be compared to a quasi-saint at the Great Perfection stage in our Hongmeng Universe."

"Above the Supreme Gods are the Chief Gods! Chief Gods are equivalent to the Saints of our Primordial Universe."

"Next is the God-King, which is equivalent to a Heavenly Saint."

"Above the God King is the God Emperor, which is equivalent to the Great Dao Saint."

"Above that are the Supreme Gods, equivalent to the Primordial Supreme Beings."

"And above the Supreme God, there are two even higher realms: the Creator God and the Great Creator God!"

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's heart sank.

In the Primordial Universe, the Primordial Supreme has already reached the pinnacle of cultivation.

Seeing Ying Zheng's expression, You Yunzi seemed to guess his thoughts and comforted him, "The Primordial Supreme may not be the end of our cultivation."

"What do you mean?" Ying Zheng asked hastily.

“Above the Primordial Supreme, there should be an even higher realm,” You Yunzi said. “The Red Luo Immortal Venerable and the Thousand Tribulations Supreme are no less powerful than the Creator Gods of the Spirit God Universe, and may even be stronger.”

"You mean to say that Immortal Venerable Hongluo and the others have already cultivated to a realm above the Primordial Supreme level?" Ying Zheng pressed. "I think so," You Yunzi nodded.

But then he added, "However, Venerable Qianjie once said that their current realm still belongs to the category of Primordial Supreme. It's just that they have reached the perfect realm of Primordial Supreme."

"But it is precisely because they have already achieved perfection that they cannot make any further breakthroughs."

You Yunzi paused briefly, then continued, "The Venerable Qianjie also said that after reaching the peak of the Primordial Supreme, one can be fearless of the Creator God."

"What about the Great Creator God? Can they withstand it?" Ying Zheng continued to press.

This time, You Yunzi remained silent for a while, then shook her head.

"Three thousand years ago, a great creator god in the Spirit God Universe attacked the Primordial Chaos Array, and Venerable Thousand Tribulations unfortunately died in battle!"

Ying Zheng also fell silent.

After a long silence, he asked again, "Are there many Great Creators?"

Upon hearing this question, You Yunzi immediately perked up. "Not many! According to the latest intelligence we have, there are only four Great Creators in the Spirit God Universe! Moreover, three thousand years ago, the Great Creator who attempted to break through the Hongmeng Array failed and was severely injured by the combined forces of our Venerables. He has already escaped!"

"His divine essence was almost destroyed! It would be impossible for him to recover in less than billions of years!"

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's spirits finally lifted; this was the best news he had heard so far.

"However, there's some bad news coming out recently," You Yunzi sighed.

"What's wrong?" Ying Zheng asked hurriedly.

"There are rumors that a creator god in the Spirit God Universe is attempting to reach the realm of a great creator god! If he succeeds, their Spirit God Universe will have a fifth great creator god!"

Ying Zheng's heart skipped a beat.

This news is absolutely terrible!

"Now, all we can do is pray that he fails to break through to the next level," You Yunzi said with a wry smile.

"If he fails to break through to the next realm and dies from the backlash of the divine fire, then our Hongmeng Universe will be safe for the time being."

"If he succeeds in breaking through to the next realm, the Spirit God Universe will have another Great Creator God. The defensive pressure on our Primordial Chaos Array will probably increase many times over!"

Ying Zheng couldn't help but nod.

You Yunzi chatted with Ying Zheng for a long time, mostly about the Hongmeng Array and the other universe.

He had been here for quite some time and knew a great deal about many things. Ying Zheng took this opportunity to ask him for advice.

"Fellow Daoist Ying Zheng, I have troubled you for a long time, so I must take my leave now," You Yunzi said to Ying Zheng.

"Fellow Daoist, please take care." Ying Zheng nodded.

After You Yunzi left, Ying Zheng naturally continued to oversee his own great formation.

Although the great formation required constant guarding, in reality, apart from the initial repair of the various restrictions within the formation which took over a hundred years, Ying Zheng was generally quite free afterward.

So he separated a avatar and had it guard the great formation in his place. His true body, on the other hand, went to cultivate inside the Primordial Glazed Pagoda.

For Ying Zheng, the most important thing was his own self-cultivation!

Since Ying Zheng arrived at the Hongmeng Grand Array, time has quietly passed.

Whether it was due to his good luck or the fact that the other universe was accumulating power, waiting for the creator god to successfully break through to a higher realm before launching a full-scale attack, the situation here at the great formation was basically stable, and no large-scale attack was coming.

But small-scale shocks have never stopped and are happening all the time.

Ying Zheng used his divine sense to extend to the outermost area to investigate.

There, supreme beings with unbelievably powerful cultivation were stationed. There, he saw the former Crimson Immortal Venerable and the Frosty Absolute Venerable.

Besides these, there were many more supreme beings he did not recognize.

The aura emanating from them had reached an unbelievable level, their power suppressing everything, making people tremble with fear.

Once they arrived, Ying Zheng's divine sense could barely reach them. He could only gaze at them from afar.

Outside the great formation was a void as thick as a swamp.

The void writhed continuously, from which surged a vast and boundless divine power, transforming into waves that crashed fiercely against the great formation.

The force of that monstrous wave seemed to possess the power to destroy all the stars in the universe. The entire outer layer of the great formation was trembling incessantly.

However, the force of this giant wave was still blocked by the Hongmeng Grand Formation. Most of the force was absorbed by the outer layer, with only a small portion being transmitted layer by layer by the Hongmeng Grand Formation and then absorbed by the layers of formations behind it!

Seeing this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but secretly admire it.

The person who created the Primordial Chaos Array was truly brilliant.

The Primordial Array was layered upon layered, yet tightly connected, forming a unified whole. The impact from the alien universe surged in through the cosmic passage, its immense power initially blocked by the outer layers of the array, then diminishing with each layer until it finally dissipated into nothingness. In this way, no matter how fierce the impact from the alien universe, it could not shake the Primordial Array in the slightest.

Ying Zheng's divine sense probed this place for a long time before slowly withdrawing.

"What are you doing here?" Just as Ying Zheng was spying, the Ice Cold Supreme seemed to have sensed his divine sense and actually communicated with him through divine sense.

"It's nothing, I just came to take a look. This shouldn't violate any rules, right?" Ying Zheng replied casually.

"Pfft!" Upon hearing this, the Ice Cold Supreme couldn't help but chuckle.

But soon, her mind returned to calm, reverting to its original cold and ruthless state.

"It's not a violation of the rules, but a large-scale enemy attack could come at any time. You'd better be careful, lest this divine sense be lost here!"

"It's just a divine thought. Even if it's lost, it's just a loss of a hundred years of my arduous cultivation," Ying Zheng said nonchalantly.

"By the way, where is the Supreme Palace? Where is it now?" Ying Zheng suddenly asked the Ice Cold Supreme.

This is something he has always cared about.

"Do you have some ideas about the Supreme Palace?" The Ice Cold Supreme saw through Ying Zheng's thoughts at a glance.

"I was just asking casually, is that not allowed?" Ying Zheng awkwardly rubbed his nose. (End of Chapter)
