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

However, Ying Zheng did not reveal this matter, but instead concealed it, saying, "I have heard some things about it before. The Qingling Universe originally had a great chance to become a new eternal civilization universe, but unfortunately, because it offended the Tiandan Universe, it was attacked during the Fifth Great Cosmic Calamity, and the entire universe civilization was destroyed."

"The Qingling Universe Civilization is also a member of the Universe Alliance. The Tiandan Universe attacked the Qingling Universe without the Alliance's consent, which angered the Alliance and almost led to its expulsion. However, in the end, the Tiandan Universe Civilization voluntarily betrayed the Alliance and left the Canglan Universe Circle."

“Yes.” Gu Si in the picture nodded. “It’s good that you know, brother, so I don’t have to explain it to you.”

"After the destruction of the Azure Spirit Universe, the Heavenly Pill Universe plundered everything, and the remaining resources were also snatched up by other forces, leaving only a fragmented shell of the universe, which was eventually swallowed by the void and the vortex."

“I have been to the ruins of the Azure Spirit Universe before. There is indeed nothing left there. It has been completely buried by nothingness.”

"But five hundred million years ago, a wanderer encountered an accident in the dark vortex and was swallowed by it. Guess what he encountered in the dark vortex?"

"The remnants of the Azure Spirit Universe?" Ying Zheng couldn't help but ask.

"Shouldn't a universe be completely swallowed up and annihilated by nothingness after it is destroyed?"

“That was indeed the case,” Gu Si said, “but for some reason, the remnant of the Azure Spirit Universe remained!”

"After being swallowed into the dark vortex, the wanderer thought he was doomed. But he used the remnants of the Azure Spirit Universe to avoid the impact of the dark vortex and found a chance to escape, actually managing to get out of the dark vortex!"

"After he came out, he sold this information to interdimensional merchants. This information was resold like crazy, and now almost everyone in the Canglan circle knows about it."

"Many people are eyeing this broken shell, and even some ancient saints from eternal cosmic civilizations have already made their move!"

"Isn't it just a remnant left after the destruction of a level four universe? Is it really necessary to alarm those old monsters?" Ying Zheng couldn't help but say.

Although the name "Ancient Sage" sounds similar to "Saint," in reality, the existence of Ancient Sages far surpasses that of Saints.

Ancient sages refer to the creators of eternal civilizations.

In this world, there exist the most ancient and powerful beings who wield supreme power and are truly great beings.

In terms of strength level, they have almost all reached at least the sixth level of the cosmic level.

At their level, their strength is beyond imagination and indescribable.

“If it’s just a broken shell, it naturally won’t be able to tempt those old monsters,” Gu Si said slowly.

"Brother Ying Zheng, think about it carefully. If it were truly just a remnant shell, how could the Azure Spirit Universe have continued to this day?"

As soon as Gu Si finished speaking, Ying Zheng's eyes widened suddenly, and a thought flashed through his mind.

"Does that mean... the Azure Spirit Universe successfully survived the fifth cosmic catastrophe?!"

“That’s right!” Gu Si nodded with a smile.

"The Azure Spirit Universe has indeed successfully survived the fifth cosmic catastrophe, and it has now transformed into the Eternal Universe!"

"Because it possesses the characteristics of an eternal universe, it was not completely destroyed even when it was caught in the dark vortex!"

"During the fifth cosmic catastrophe, although the Qingling Universe civilization suffered a devastating blow and was almost wiped out, the Qingling Universe itself miraculously survived the catastrophe. It succeeded!"

"However, due to the impact of the cosmic catastrophe, coupled with the attack from the Heavenly Pill Universe, the Azure Spirit Universe suffered severe damage. After its transformation, the Azure Spirit Universe was reduced to a mere shell, or rather, a prototype of an eternal universe resembling a shell!"

"This nascent form was sucked into the dark vortex and is hidden deep within it, gradually recovering. Although it will take an extremely long time for the Azure Spirit Universe to fully recover, perhaps trillions or even hundreds of trillions of years, one day it will be completely restored and become a truly eternal universe!"

"Brother Ying Zheng, just think about it, how immense is the value of an unclaimed, eternal universe?!"

"Hiss!" Ying Zheng couldn't help but gasp.

"Hmph! Those old monsters saw this opportunity, which is why they all came down from the mountains and searched frantically!" Gu Si continued.

"I estimate that some primordial beings have already begun to gestate in the Azure Spirit Universe. As long as the universe does not perish, even if all the original beings become extinct, new beings will continue to be born."

"However, it has been less than 500 billion years since the destruction of the Qingling Universe Civilization. In these 500 billion years, even if the new universe civilizations that have emerged in the Qingling Universe can inherit some of the legacy left by the Qingling Universe Civilization, the most powerful of them may not be able to surpass the second level of the universe level."

"Brother, how about it? Interested in trying our luck together? Maybe we'll find some treasure." Gu Si suggested to Ying Zheng. "I'm currently wandering around looking for the Dark Vortex. The area around the Qingling Universe Ruins is bustling with people searching for it."

"Well... I'll think about it for now," Ying Zheng chuckled dismissively.

"It seems you've devoted yourself entirely to the Canglan Illusionary Realm, my brother," Gu Si said helplessly.

"How is your Hongmeng Universe doing now? Have the people you brought in broken through to the universe level?" Gu Si asked again.

"They're alright. They've all just broken through to the second level of the cosmic level, so I came back first," Ying Zheng replied.

"Pfft!" Gu Si couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "So fast?! It's only been less than three billion years!"

“We were lucky enough to find an isolated village in the wilderness. That village was originally inhabited by people who migrated from Emerald City. We cooperated with the original inhabitants and established the village as a base. We can complete four tasks every day,” Ying Zheng explained.

"My goodness, four missions! That's a town-level stronghold. Impressive! With control of a town-level stronghold, your Hongmeng Universe can continuously produce experts," Gu Si exclaimed in admiration.

"Yes. My current plan is to bring in people who are close to the threshold of the cosmic level, one batch at a time, and help them all reach the second level of the cosmic level!" Ying Zheng said with a smile.

“Yes, yes! In that case, your Hongmeng Universe will soon reach the level of a Level 2 civilization!” Gu Si said.

"But Brother Ying Zheng, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. I don't mean to discourage you, but in my opinion, all these cosmic civilizations are just illusions. Only true strength lies within oneself! You mustn't be so focused on helping others improve that you neglect your own cultivation."

"Brother, I can see that your cultivation has barely improved in the past three billion years. You've been doing all this as a babysitter for others."

Faced with Gu Si's teasing, Ying Zheng smiled awkwardly. "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, brother."

"Alright, brother, I was just reminding you. The rest is your own business," Gu Si said.

"Thank you for reminding me, brother. I understand," Ying Zheng said.

Afterwards, Ying Zheng chatted with Gu Si for a while, and then Gu Si cut off the contact.

After finishing his communication with Gu Si, Ying Zheng's expression became unusually solemn.

The matter of Binghan was far too important, which is why he didn't tell Gu Si.

Although he felt somewhat guilty towards Gu Si, this matter was of utmost importance, and he dared not reveal Bing Han's secret.

The Azure Spirit Universe was not destroyed; instead, it successfully transformed into the Eternal Universe. And Binghan is the spark of civilization within the Azure Spirit Universe! Her significance to the current Azure Spirit Universe is self-evident! Without the slightest hesitation, Ying Zheng immediately left the Heavenly Emperor Domain and headed to the Shenshui Domain.

In the Frosty Immortal Palace of the Great Water Domain, the Frosty Supreme had just returned and was not yet ready to go into seclusion when Ying Zheng arrived shortly after.

"Something terrible has happened!" Ying Zheng exclaimed immediately.

"What's wrong?! Could it be that something has happened in the Illusionary Realm?!" The Ice Cold Venerable's expression changed slightly.

"It's not an illusionary realm! It's the Azure Spirit Universe!" Ying Zheng said solemnly.

He then gave a detailed account of the situation in the Azure Spirit Universe to the Ice Cold Venerable.

After hearing this, Binghan Juezun was stunned and remained speechless for a long time.

After a long while, she murmured to herself, "The Azure Spirit Universe has successfully transformed?! It has become an eternal universe?! This...!"

She was a spark of civilization sent by a powerful being of the Qingling Universe when it faced a crisis of destruction!
Originally, the powerful beings of the Qingling Universe hoped that she could go to a nascent universe, where she could revive the Qingling Universe civilization and rebuild the Qingling Universe.

Simply put, it means letting her dominate the Primordial Universe.

But the Ice Cold Supreme did not do that.

After arriving in the Hongmeng Universe, although she was conceived and born here, she did not inherit the Qingling Universe civilization. Instead, she explored the Hongmeng Universe's own path and civilization together with Hongluo Immortal Venerable and others.

In the heart of the Ice Cold Supreme, there was indeed a trace of guilt towards the Azure Spirit Universe.

However, she would never do something like destroying the Hongmeng universe civilization and then seizing control of the Hongmeng universe.

But now, the Azure Spirit Universe has not been destroyed, and the situation is different.

"What should we do now?!" At this moment, the Ice Cold Venerable was completely dumbfounded and seemed at a loss.

"I must go back! Rebuild the Azure Spirit Universe!" she said without hesitation, and then took out her Space Shuttle.

But at this crucial moment, Ying Zheng grabbed her hand, "Don't be impulsive!"

"What use would it be for you to go back now? Countless experts are searching for the original coordinates of the Azure Spirit Universe. Do you think you can compete with them if you go back?!"

"Furthermore, the Azure Spirit Universe is currently hidden within a dark vortex, and you might not even be able to find it! Even if you do find it, with your strength, can you even enter the dark vortex?!"

"This...!" The Ice Cold Supreme was speechless.

“Fortunately, the Azure Spirit Universe is currently hidden within the Dark Vortex. Firstly, the location of the Dark Vortex is unpredictable, making it difficult for them to find; secondly, the Dark Vortex is not a place that can be entered or exited at will, and even for those ancient saints, entering it is by no means easy,” Ying Zheng explained.

"Hmm." Under Ying Zheng's reassurance, the Ice Cold Supreme gradually calmed down.

She took a deep breath. "No matter what, I will take back the Azure Spirit Universe! It's mine!"

At this moment, even her tone of voice seemed to have changed, and Ying Zheng felt as if she had become a completely different person.

That was the true form of the Ice-Cold Supreme Being, or rather, the great being of the Azure Spirit Universe who created her. At the final moment when the Azure Spirit Universe was about to be destroyed, that great being used his own life imprint as the foundation to create the Ice-Cold Supreme Being, and sealed her as the seed of civilization, severing all causality, evading the pursuit of the Heavenly Pill Universe civilization, and secretly sending her to the Primordial Universe.

The Tiandan Universe Civilization is an eternal cosmic civilization, whose strength at its peak far surpassed that of the Qingling Universe Civilization by countless times.

If they want to destroy the Qingling Universe Civilization, they will eradicate it completely, giving it no chance to survive.

Even the ancient sages of the Heavenly Pill Universe Civilization could directly follow the causal lines of a civilization and completely annihilate it when they took action.

Anyone who cultivates the path of the Azure Spirit Universe will perish without a burial place. This is also the reason why all living beings in the Azure Spirit Universe were completely annihilated.

Only seeds that are extremely pure and have no causal relationship with the Azure Spirit Universe can survive.

However, this also granted Ice Cold Supreme a great deal of autonomy. She was not influenced by the legacy of the Azure Spirit Universe Civilization and had her own will and desires.

However, just now, Ying Zheng could sense that the Ice Cold Supreme was affected to some extent.

That was the effect she received when she was looking at the information and memories sealed by that powerful being in the Azure Spirit Universe.

"Ying Zheng, can you help me?!" Binghan Juezun asked Ying Zheng.

"Of course!" Ying Zheng nodded without hesitation.

"But with my current strength, I can at most fight against a level 5 cosmic being. I can basically defeat any expert below level 5." Ying Zheng pondered for a moment and revealed his true strength.

Indeed, Ying Zheng is now at the fifth level of the cosmic realm, not the fourth level.

He previously claimed to have a Level 4 certificate, which was a deliberate concealment from everyone.

This wasn't because he was cunning or treacherous, but because he had a backup plan. In case of any unexpected situation, having some trump cards would always give him a chance to turn the tide.

Moreover, he is not just an ordinary level 5 cosmic-level being.

Having cultivated the Supreme Universe Technique, he is basically invincible within his realm!
“Cosmic Level 5…!” Ice Cold Supreme looked at Ying Zheng with a strange expression.

"Don't look at me like that," Ying Zheng said with an awkward laugh.

"Hmph, someone was so confident before that he claimed to be a fourth-level cosmic-level being, but it turns out it was all a lie," said Ice Cold Supreme.

"I always have to keep some cards up my sleeve," Ying Zheng said helplessly.

"However, even for a level 5 cosmic entity, it will be no easy task to reclaim the Azure Spirit Universe from those old monsters this time."

“I know.” Ice Cold Supreme nodded.

"The most urgent task now is to find a way to inherit the power she left me as soon as possible!"

Ying Zheng nodded slightly, understanding that the "she" the Ice Cold Supreme was referring to was the powerful being from the Azure Spirit Universe who created her.

“Originally, I planned to inherit it slowly on my own, but now I can only rely on your help,” said Ice Cold Supreme.

"She sealed away her memories and insights from her cultivation. If I want to inherit her power, I only need to gradually unlock the seal and slowly digest these memories and insights." (End of Chapter)
