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

Only under his protection can living things continue to exist in this dead world.

After swallowing the primordial universe, Ying Zheng traversed the other world rapidly, heading towards the gate of life he had left behind.

This time, Ying Zheng had made preparations in advance, leaving behind a "gate of life." He placed this gate outside the Hongmeng Universe, not far from it.

The gates to the afterlife opened once more, and Ying Zheng emerged from within.

But in just a moment, he piloted the Space Shuttle and jumped into a higher dimension.

Ying Zheng had barely disappeared from behind when Wu Yu and his group of five caught up with him, but they were unable to catch up.

"Damn it! He's escaped into another dimension!" The five people, including Wu Yu, stomped their feet in anger.

"He can't escape! I have a special artifact here that can track enemies in other dimensions!"

One of the four Seven Star Executor Gods spoke.

With a flick of his hand, he summoned a space shuttle, and the five of them entered it one after another, leaping into the extradimensional space to relentlessly pursue Ying Zheng!
Hyperdimensional space severs all cause and effect, and all traces. Trying to track it down using conventional methods is simply a pipe dream.

However, the higher-ups of the Canglan Universe Alliance naturally had a countermeasure.

They developed a powerful artifact capable of capturing the wave patterns left behind by the Space Shuttle as it traverses between dimensions. With this artifact, they too can pilot the Space Shuttle and relentlessly pursue their enemies!

Of course, this artifact is only effective when it is close to the enemy; otherwise, the traces of fluctuation left by the interdimensional space that the Space Shuttle travels through will soon disappear without a trace.

Ying Zheng piloted the Space Shuttle, speeding forward without ever looking back!

The cosmic shuttle in his hand was a gift from the Great Emperor of the Transformation Universe.

Emperor Huasheng was also a level seven powerhouse at the cosmic level, and had already comprehended the mysteries of life and death. Naturally, the Cosmic Star Shuttle in his hand was extraordinary.

This chase and escape lasted for an extremely long time.

It wasn't until tens of thousands of years later that Ying Zheng stopped and piloted the Cosmic Shuttle out of the extradimensional space.

After Ying Zheng appeared, the five people following behind also rode out in their space shuttles.

At this moment, they could clearly see that Ying Zheng put away the Space Shuttle and fled straight into a vast universe.

The vastness of this universe is more than ten thousand times that of the Hongmeng universe!
Clearly, this is an eternal universe.

"This is where?"

The five people, including Wu Yu, looked at the eternal universe before them with puzzled expressions.

The five of them chased Ying Zheng frantically, not caring about direction or coordinates, and were momentarily at a loss.

"It seems to be the Azure Spirit Universe." After several breaths, one of the four executive priests made a judgment.

“Yes, it should be the Azure Spirit Universe.” Wu Yu nodded in agreement.

The Ice Empress of the Azure Spirit Universe has a close relationship with the Primordial Universe; when Ying Zheng was absent, she even personally oversaw operations in the Primordial Universe. Wu Yu was naturally aware of this.

"Hmph! I thought he had run off to somewhere! Turns out he hid in the Azure Spirit Universe. The Ice Empress is only at the sixth level of the Universe level, how could she protect him?" Wu Yu sneered.

"Let's go! Let's go there! Make the Ice Queen hand over the person!" the four executioners said.

Immediately, the five of them joined forces and set off towards the Azure Spirit Universe.

"Ice Empress, we are the Alliance's Execution Officers, ordered to capture the suspect Ying Zheng. Please cooperate with us and hand him over. Otherwise, we will personally enter the Azure Spirit Universe to capture him!" The five people transmitted their voices to her from outside the Azure Spirit Universe.

However, the next moment, a cold voice rang out: "I haven't seen the prisoner you're talking about. You can leave!"

"Hmph! Ice Empress, we are the Seven Star Executioners of the Alliance, with the authority to search any universe. Don't make a mistake! Otherwise, we will suspect you of deliberately protecting a suspect!" the four executioners transmitted again.

"Fine, go ahead and try!" The chilling voice rang out again.

"So what if I ventured into the mere Azure Spirit Universe?!" Wu Yu sneered.

But just then, across an endless distance, a pair of cold eyes turned to them, "Insolence!"

A sound like thunder exploded deep within their souls. In that instant, Wu Yu coughed up blood, and the other four executioners also groaned as blood flowed from their seven orifices.

"The Holy Lord of Heavenly One...!"

The four Seven Stars Executioners cried out in terror.

This is one of the most terrifying big shots in the Canglan Universe! Don't be fooled by the fact that they have all cultivated to the seventh level of the Universe Realm. In front of this being, they are probably not even a speck of dust.

"We were unaware that the Azure Spirit Universe was a place protected by the Holy Lord, and we have offended you greatly. We hope the Holy Lord will forgive us!" the four Seven-Star Execution Officers said, trembling.

After saying that, the four of them exchanged glances and quickly left.

The remaining Wu Yu looked extremely unpleasant and also wanted to leave in a dejected manner.

But then, that indifferent and aged voice echoed in his mind: "Sever your own flesh as punishment."

"I...!" Wu Yu's face turned ashen. He wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing. He simply raised his hand and slammed it down on his forehead, shattering thirty percent of his vital energy!

Yuan Ling suffered a severe injury, and his cultivation level plummeted on the spot.

After slashing himself, he fell from the eighth level of the cosmic level to the threshold between the seventh and eighth levels.

That one strike was enough for him to heal through billions of years of arduous cultivation. As for the loss of his cultivation level, it might take hundreds of billions of years to recover.

"Thank you for your forgiveness, Holy Lord!" Even after severing himself, Wu Yu still had to express his gratitude for the other party's mercy. Then he slunk away.

In the Azure Spirit Universe, Ying Zheng, who was watching this scene, was also overjoyed.

His escape here was not without reason. He had already contacted Binghan on the way. Binghan, in turn, immediately contacted the Heavenly Saint Lord.

Only after receiving a positive reply from the Heavenly Lord did Ying Zheng dare to flee to the Azure Spirit Universe.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have implicated Binghan; he would have naturally fled outside the Canglan Universe.

After Wu Yu and the others left, a wisp of Tianyi Saint Lord descended from a great distance in the Azure Spirit Universe. "Disciple Binghan greets Saint Lord!" Binghan was the first to bow and pay respects to Tianyi Saint Lord.

Ying Zheng also bowed to the Holy Lord of Heaven, saying, "I am Ying Zheng, paying my respects to the Holy Lord."

"Get up, all of you," said the Holy Lord of Heavenly One.

He then added, "I had already contacted you about your matter, but I didn't expect someone to interfere and try to kill you."

"Is it Wuyu?" Ying Zheng asked subconsciously, frowning.

“What is he?” said the Heavenly One Saint Master. “He is a Supreme Being.”

"What?!" Ying Zheng was startled.

"This... what virtue or ability do I, Ying Zheng, possess to have him specifically request my death?!" Ying Zheng was somewhat dumbfounded.

If these words hadn't come from the mouth of the Heavenly One Saint Lord, Ying Zheng would have found it hard to believe.

“You witnessed him commit murder. If you don’t die, it will be tantamount to tarnishing the reputation of his Supreme Lord,” said the Holy Lord of Heavenly One.

"He is a powerful being at the ninth level of the universe..." Ying Zheng was speechless.

"Do you think that once you reach our level, you won't care about these trivial matters?" Tianyi Saint Lord looked at Ying Zheng and chuckled.

Ying Zheng nodded.

“You are wrong,” replied the Holy Lord of Heavenly One.

Even at our level, there is still intrigue and backstabbing.

"To him, killing a few juniors is nothing more than a trivial matter, like crushing a few ants; he wouldn't even care," said the Heavenly One Saint Lord. "But the problem is, as a Supreme Venerable, his status is extraordinary. The Canglan Universe is the undisputed overlord of the entire Canglan Universe, and all rules are set by him. If the rule-maker himself breaks the rules first and indiscriminately kills the innocent, where is his credibility? What about the binding force of the rules?"

"Of course, he could claim it was accidental killing. But how could someone as high and mighty as him possibly pay compensation or apologize?" Tianyi Saint Master continued, "For him, the best way is to shift the blame for the murder to the Dark Heaven. As for the witnesses and survivors, he can simply make them disappear. What an ruthless method!"

Faced with these words from the Holy Lord of Tianyi, Ying Zheng was momentarily at a loss for words.

Yes, with Tai Zun's strength, killing a few juniors is indeed easy, as insignificant as stepping on ants. But Tai Zun's identity is far too special; he is a powerful figure in the Canglan Universe. If even the rule-maker of the Canglan Universe leads the way in violating the rules, then what is the point of the rules?

While the Grand Master could use the excuse of accidental killing, it was unrealistic to expect him to pay compensation or apologize. Therefore, shifting the blame to the Dark Heaven and making the witnesses and survivors disappear was his most likely option.

"The vast universe is nothing more than this," Ying Zheng couldn't help but sigh.

"The vast universe is nothing more than this... Haha..." The Heavenly One Saint Lord chuckled.

"It was my fault for speaking out of turn. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." Ying Zheng realized he had misspoke and quickly apologized to the Holy Lord Tianyi.

"It's alright." The Heavenly One Saint Lord waved his hand. "That's just how it is. Since we've done it, why should we be afraid of what others say? However, once you arrive in the Canglan Universe, you absolutely must not say such things again."

Then, the Heavenly Saint Lord changed the subject, "This matter of the Dark Heaven is no small matter. This time, the Crystal Lord, the Great Dream God, and the Time Spirit of the Canglan Universe will interrogate you together. The three of them, like me and the Supreme Venerable, are all at the ninth level of the Universe level, and their status among the great powers of the Canglan Universe is not low."

"When the time comes, you must not hide anything or lie; just tell the truth. You were only saved by the Dark Heaven, and you have no close relationship with him. Under normal circumstances, this will not implicate you. But if you deliberately hide anything or lie, it will only cause trouble."

"Ying Zheng understands." Ying Zheng nodded.

"The Crystal Lord and I have a very good relationship, but the Great Dream God and Time Spirit are unpredictable, and few people in the Canglan Universe have any dealings with them. However, this precisely ensures their impartiality," said the Heavenly One Saint Lord.

"Hmm," Ying Zheng replied.

"Master, why does the Canglan Universe Alliance value You'an Datian so much? No matter how powerful he is, he's just one person. He can't even defeat Taizun. There are so many powerful figures in the Canglan Universe Alliance, why should we be afraid of him?" Binghan asked, clearly having formally become Tianyi Saint Master's disciple.

The Heavenly One Saint Lord shook his head, "The Canglan Universe Alliance is not afraid of the Dark Heaven alone, but of the You Tian Universe!"

Then, the Heavenly One Saint Lord paused, "Do you know who used to rule this Canglan Universe?"

Ying Zheng and Bing Han exchanged a glance and shook their heads; they truly didn't know the answer to this question.

“It is the Youtian Universe Civilization,” said the Heavenly One Saint Lord.

"What?!" Ying Zheng and Bing Han were both stunned.

Ying Zheng had previously heard from the Dark Heaven that the You Tian Universe Civilization was already quite powerful, capable of contending with the Cang Lan Universe Civilization. He never imagined that the You Tian Universe Civilization had previously been the dominant force!

“At its peak, the You Tian Universe Civilization was far superior to even the current Cang Lan Universe Civilization. The current Cang Lan Universe Civilization is far from reaching its zenith. If we were to re-integrate the three cosmic civilizations that had previously separated from the Cang Lan Universe—Tian Ding, Jiu Xing, and Yu Cheng—we might be able to barely compare to the You Tian Universe Civilization at that time,” said the Heavenly One Saint Lord.

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng was so shocked that he was speechless.

The Tianding Universe, the Nine Stars Universe, and the Jade Ascension Universe actually separated from the Canglan Universe Civilization?!

Moreover, even the Canglan Universe Civilization plus these three level-nine universe civilizations cannot compare to the Youtian Universe Civilization. How powerful must the Youtian Universe Civilization have been at its peak!

"Since the Youtian Universe Civilization is so powerful, how could it..." Ying Zheng couldn't help but ask.

"Because at the height of the Netherworld Universe, the then-ruler, the Nether Emperor, made a decision," said the Heavenly One Saint Lord.

"What decision?" Binghan asked instinctively.

"He has decided to gather the power of the entire Youtian Universe civilization to break through to the other side! He wants to gather the power of everyone in the entire Youtian Universe civilization to lift up the entire Youtian Universe and completely transcend it!" Tianyi Saint Lord said powerfully, his words still full of shock and amazement.

"Transcending to the other shore!" Ying Zheng's heart trembled.

Gu Si, from the Tai Dian Universe, once did the same thing as the You Tian Universe: gathering the power of the entire universe's civilization to attack the other side. However, they failed, and the entire universe's civilization was lost outside of time, leaving only Gu Si wandering the world, thinking about how to save them.

"Unfortunately, they failed. The entire Youtian Universe civilization suffered a devastating blow. Countless experts were lost beyond the extradimensional realm and were completely devoured, leaving no trace. Even the entire Youtian Eternal Universe was largely devoured, with only a small portion remaining," said the Heavenly One Saint Lord.

"At that time, when the Canglan Universe Civilization saw that the Youtian Universe Civilization was in trouble, it immediately led the Tianding, Jiuxing and Yucheng Universe Civilizations to join forces to attack the Youtian Universe Civilization and completely destroy it when it was at its weakest."

"However, even so, some people from the Youtian Universe Civilization still managed to escape. There were a total of seven ninth-level Universe-level experts who escaped, and You'an Datian was one of them."

Ying Zheng and Bing Han both nodded subconsciously.

"If they were just seven stray dogs, the Canglan Universe Civilization wouldn't care at all. But logically speaking, those seven should have already escaped to other universes and couldn't possibly have returned. (End of Chapter)"
