The heavens began from a small hell

On a planet in the inner universe of the City of the End, about 200,000 kilometers in diameter, 40% of its area is covered by ancient, fiery red trees.

Chu Feng saw Lin Yang's manifested form here.

Chu Feng, who had exchanged a few words with Lin Yang in the dream world, did not notice anything different about Lin Yang, but he knew that this was definitely not Lin Yang's true form.

As far as he knew, Lin Yang was refining arrows using the 'Heavenly Monarch's Old Body', so at this time only clones and incarnations could appear.

After the two met, Lin Yang asked in surprise, "You mean you dreamt of eternity, experiencing millions of years in your dream and witnessing all sorts of things in the future?"

On the surface, he seemed quite taken aback by Chu Feng's words about "a dream that lasts for eternity," as if the will of heaven that secretly determined Chu Feng's fate was not his.

Having prepared himself mentally on the way here, Chu Feng nodded heavily and said, "In the 128th year of the new calendar, a hundred years from now, the Strange Clan will launch a grand sacrifice, during which ten supreme beings and ten progenitors will be born. Each progenitor is a powerful being who has reached the pinnacle of their cultivation."

Thinking of the future, Chu Feng, in order to increase the credibility of his words, did not hide much and said:
"When the Great Sacrifice came, you, who had already proven 'Supreme Shattering', along with Lin Nuoyi and Jiang Luoshen who had reached the end of their journey, stormed into the deepest part of the Calamity Land and disappeared from then on. Later, the Ancestor took action to cleanse the supreme beings of all ages who had fought against the supreme beings of the strange races."

"On that day, all the immortal emperors of all ages perished, and the supreme beings turned into historical dust, their existence in all ages erased by the ancestor."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yang frowned slightly and murmured, "Your Great Dream of Eternity... it seems that it is not the work of the strange ancestors, otherwise they would not know so much about me."

As he gazed into the deep universe, he sighed softly, “It seems that there are always some mysteries in the world that cannot be comprehended by living beings, otherwise I would not have waited until you woke up to have a faint sense of them while you were in your ‘eternal dream’.”

Hearing Lin Yang say this, Chu Feng sighed in agreement: "I remember everything in the dream very clearly. Before I woke up, I had already reached the sacrificial path of sublimation, but I still couldn't understand the essence of that dream."

Chu Feng never doubted his life before his rebirth. After he 'woke up,' he tried the techniques he used before his rebirth several times, and they all worked in a real and effective way.

These are methods he wouldn't have used at this time, so this undoubtedly proves his experiences before his rebirth.

It can be said that even without reshaping his foundation with the vision of the Dao of Sacrifice, Chu Feng's strength was incomparable, far surpassing the so-called 'Eternal Dao Fruit'.

"The road ends, and sublimation follows..."

After glancing at Chu Feng, Lin Yang hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Since the Grand Sacrifice is only a hundred years away, and you have the experience from the dream, I will provide you with any resources you need so that you can improve your strength as much as possible before the Grand Sacrifice."

Chu Feng readily nodded, as the resources Lin Yang mentioned were exactly what he lacked.

Although he created his own field evolution path and used the fields of the heavens to evolve himself, he still urgently needed high-level resources. Otherwise, it would take thousands or even tens of thousands of years to grow up.

Unless one achieves the status of a Mortal Immortal, even a Celestial King cannot be self-sufficient and free from external resources. Although a Mortal Immortal is not as powerful as a Celestial King, their dependence on the outside world is obviously lower.

It can be said that no one has ever reached a wondrous state of self-sufficiency, free from external things, like the Immortal of the Mortal World. While it is not impossible to become the ultimate evolver and achieve what the ancients called "breaking the king and becoming an emperor," it will still be quite difficult.

From the level of Immortal King to the ultimate achievement, even a slight difference in difficulty can create a world of difference, let alone several levels of difficulty.

Next, Chu Feng recounted his experience of "a dream that lasts for eternity".

After the grand sacrifice, the supreme being of the strange race slashed along the Great Dao of All Worlds, and from then on, all the Immortal Kings of All Worlds perished, with only the Immortal King below whom they had not taken seriously surviving.

The environment of all worlds became extremely harsh due to the influence of the Great Sacrifice, and even the environment of the Dharma-ending Age became a luxury. That era was named the 'Age of Extinction'.

The 'Paradise,' which spans all realms, remains unaffected. The 'Paradise People' of that era were the only ones who could defy the environment of all worlds and continue to improve during the Age of Extinction. Therefore, as the existence of the 'Paradise' gradually spread, the remaining True Immortals, Great Universe-level Evolved Beings, and Ultimate Evolvers from all worlds frantically searched for ways to enter the 'Paradise.'

It wasn't that they were so eager to increase their strength, but rather that in the era of spiritual desolation, their lives were rapidly passing away, and they no longer possessed the immortality they once had.

The vast majority of these powerful individuals were unaware of why the Era of Extinction had arrived, or why the previously favorable environment had suddenly become so hostile.

A moment later, Chu Feng left with the various resources sponsored by Lin Yang.

A small portion of these were collected in the underworld, mainly from the "network fees" of various powerful clans and forces in the mortal realm, as well as contributions from the immortal kings who joined the Imperial Court.

The rest...

It was Lin Yang who 'swished' it.

Just like the ancestral spirit vein he gave Lin Nuoyi before, it was a king-level spirit vein that Lin Yang copied in its initial state with a single thought.

One of the resources given to Chu Feng was something he copied from some possibility in the past or future into the present.

As for the cost of replicating these... it's zero.

When an ordinary person has a dream, the brain operates at high speed, which consumes the body's energy reserves. However, he has long since surpassed the stage of energy exchange and mass-energy conversion.

In the infinitely distant future, in an era where everyone is like a dragon and treacherous people abound, the first step in cultivation is to explore one's own mind, unleash one's own will, and be self-sufficient without relying on external things.

It's like everyone, from the very beginning of their cultivation, possesses the characteristics of a great master of the Creation Realm—the ability to create something from nothing—just like immortals in the mortal world whose age seems to stand still...

It's just that it's infinitely weaker, after all, it has just surpassed the mortal realm, but it has also escaped the limitation of lifespan.

With a foundation that does not rely on external things, that era was extremely prosperous, with all worlds constantly expanding and new heavens and myriad realms springing up like mushrooms after rain. There were far more powerful beings equivalent to the Supreme Immortal Emperor than the True Immortals of this era.

"No matter what kind of civilization it is, resources are indispensable. The only difference is where the resources come from."

As Chu Feng departed, Lin Yang's manifested form also vanished with the wind.

Unlike before, he now focuses his main energy on chat groups, and has also visited other worlds several times, but unfortunately, his gains have been less than ideal.

It seems like only a turn of the head, and a hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye. Time has come to the 128th year of the new calendar.

Recently, even the most oblivious person has noticed that the atmosphere has changed. Many mountains and spiritual lands that should have produced certain resources for a long time have been destructively mined in recent days, turning one spiritual land after another into a desolate place.

The powerful figures of the Imperial Court are scattered throughout various realms. Some powerful figures from ancient times seem to have appeared in the human world. Some people have said that the powerful figures from prehistoric times clashed with the Imperial Court, seemingly in a struggle for the right to speak or the dominance of heaven and earth.

The outcome remains unknown, but the Imperial Court still exists.
