I have a volume of human scriptures

This series of changes caught Yu Chen completely off guard.

He certainly heard Yu Youyu singing the ballad, or rather, she had long been accustomed to it; whenever he was in crisis or trouble, this transformation always helped him calm down.

Therefore, he had always thought that although the song had a strange and mysterious origin, its only function was to calm his mind and keep him clear-headed.

But as things stand now... it seems far more complicated than that.

Yu Chen knew very well that there had been no changes in his previous countless attempts at copying the text and in this latest attempt—the only difference was the presence or absence of that mysterious song.

Therefore, the calming of this immense power of the spacetime path is most likely the effect of that mysterious song.

To verify this, he opened his eyes.

Yu Youyu stopped singing and looked at him with some confusion.

"Please stop for a moment."

Yu Chen didn't have time to explain much to her. After giving her a word of advice, he closed his eyes again and continued to meditate without the songs.

But the next moment.

boom!
The boundless primordial spatial power transformed from the ninety-nine Dao patterns erupted like a wild horse in an instant, raging and bursting forth. Because Yu Chen himself did not have the means to withstand or control this power, it dissipated and vanished without a trace in an instant.

Open your eyes!

Yu Chen's eyes were filled with deep shock.

Seeing this, Yu Youyu was also puzzled: "What's wrong? Are you the grave keeper?"

"call……"

Yu Chen let out a long breath, closed his eyes, and only opened them wearily after a long while.

“Young fish, let me ask you a question. For example… for example, I would say that even the question I’m asking you now is predetermined, or rather, a preordained fate. Do you believe that?”

Yu Youyu was taken aback, not knowing exactly what Yu Chen meant.

—She had known him for countless long years, and naturally she knew what kind of person Yu Chen was. He was definitely not the kind of coward who believed in so-called "fate," otherwise he would not have been able to overcome all obstacles to get to where he is today, nor would he have been able to jump out of the chessboard from the position of a pawn to become the one who plays the game several times.

Why is he suddenly asking this now? What happened?
"This folk song... I remember you heard it for no apparent reason a long time ago, right?"

Yu Youyu nodded, "I remember it was in a spacetime vortex. You didn't hear it, but I did. Later, I found that this song had a calming effect on your mind."

“Yes, that’s what we’ve believed since then.” Yu Chen nodded and said, “But… what if it’s not just that?”

Yu Youyu frowned deeply: "What do you mean?"

Yu Chen didn't keep anyone in suspense and recounted everything that had happened.

Yu Youyu's face grew paler and paler as she listened, until finally it was filled with utter horror!

Of course she could understand what Yu Chen meant.

That incredibly mysterious song was something they stumbled upon many, many years ago in a time vortex.

At that time, no one could have predicted what would happen next.

Neither Yu Chen nor Yu Youyu could have imagined that Yu Chen would one day embark on the path of a demon who devours his hunters.

Even more unexpectedly... they would inexplicably fall into this boundless cage manipulated by the power of the primordial space.

Because they lacked such an experience, they subconsciously believed that the song only had the effect of calming the mind.

But now, the two have discovered that it is far from that.

—This mysterious song, besides calming the mind and maintaining sanity, can also affect the power of the primordial space, stabilizing the originally violent and rampant power of the primordial space!

This is simply a fantasy!
As is widely known, only the ancients are qualified to influence and explore these two fundamental forces.

And what about Yu Youyu?
She isn't even the world!
It is merely a life born in the world—even if its cultivation has advanced to the level of an Emperor, it is as insignificant as dust, let alone comparable to the ancients, even when facing a world embryo.

Yet, even with all this, the songs she sang were able to influence the power of that primordial space!
—In this light, what kind of terrifying thing is this ballad?

And...not only that!
Yu Chen's journey to where he is today has been marked by numerous coincidences and accidents, almost countless chance occurrences, which led to the inevitable outcome of the current situation.

Putting everything else aside, just look at the current situation—he obtained the Origin Sea Map from the World Alliance faction, which is why he decided to embark on this path, and that's why he's trapped in this boundless cage; and the Silver Crystal Mirror was something he snatched from the two hunters...

It can be said that everything was full of coincidences.

But... that mysterious song played a crucial role in this incredibly coincidental situation.

Surely it can't be just another coincidence?

But if it wasn't a coincidence, but rather a deliberate arrangement.

For Yu Chen and Yu Youyu, that was nothing short of a horror story.

Could it be that the person behind this song foresaw this scene long ago, and thus allowed Yu Youyu to hear it and take control of it?

This... is too far-fetched, isn't it?

This is also the root cause of the chills that Yu Chen and Yu Youyu felt.

That's why Yu Chen suddenly asked that question.

Could it be that... every step they take, every word they utter, every action they take, even the "doubt" that arises now, was all preordained by a predetermined fate?

For a moment, even Yu Chen, who had experienced countless storms, felt a chill run down his spine.

But soon, he calmed his turbulent emotions, took a deep breath, and prepared to continue to comprehend the ninety-nine Dao patterns formed by the power of the primordial space.

Yu Youyu, standing to the side, was momentarily at a loss: "Then...should I continue singing?"

"Sing!"

Yu Chen nodded as if he had figured something out, and said, "I don't know if this is fate's arrangement, or if there is an invisible hand behind this fate."

But now we have no other way. Comprehending the Dao of the Origin Space is the only way to escape this boundless prison—even if it is arranged by someone!
But no matter what, even if I want to resist, I have to keep going down this path so that I can finally see the guy behind the scenes!

So sing!

Yu Chen made his decision, closed his eyes again, and said, "—After I comprehend the power of the origin of time, let me comprehend a second power of origin!"

Without further hesitation, Yu Youyu stood up, began to dance gracefully, and started to sing that ancient and mysterious ballad.

The song remained ambiguous, as if it were some language never heard before, echoing in the vast new world, and also in Yu Chen's ears and mind.

Once again, he sketched out the ninety-nine primordial spatial Dao patterns in his mind. As expected.

When the mysterious song rang out again, the originally extremely violent primordial spatial power became like a docile little beast, controlled by an invisible force, and arranged and manifested before Yu Chen's eyes.

Paths of silvery light, intricate and complex, yet seemingly arranged according to some ancient and mysterious rules, layer upon layer, circle upon circle, transforming into an incomparably ancient and enormous sphere, suspended in Yu Chen's thoughts, unmoving.

Yu Chen could sense that each silvery-white light path represented terrifying power, incredibly violent and surging, which was definitely beyond his control and grasp.

But at this moment, under that mysterious song, it was as if an invisible force suppressed it all, keeping it absolutely calm!

Yu Chen didn't waste any more time, because he knew that chanting that mysterious song was also a mental drain for Yu Youyu.

So... hurry up.

His thoughts surged into that enormous silver sphere of light in an instant.

Following that inexplicable pattern, we explored deeper and deeper.

As the thoughts flooded in, a series of fantastical, revolving images appeared before his eyes.

In the beginning, there was an endless void, nothing existed, nothing at all, only absolute "nothingness".

But in reality, this is neither a reasonable nor an appropriate description.

In the very beginning, even the concept of "nothingness" did not exist.

Until a certain moment, a silver light and a golden light appeared out of nowhere in this nothingness.

The silver light brought "existence," while the golden light brought "change."

unstoppable.

The next moment, endless silver light illuminated everything, tearing apart the vast void.

Wherever it goes, a space capable of accommodating and encompassing "everything" is born.

Gradually expanding, gradually surging, gradually extending...

It transformed into an endless space.

During this process, the golden light was not idle either, recording the infinite evolution and changes together with the silver primordial space power!

The primordial time and space intersect at this moment, creating an endless chaotic sea of ​​time and space.

From then on, the endless golden light flowed further and further, transforming into a golden river that seemed to have no beginning and no end.

The vast expanse of silver light spread out, creating an endless world in the void.

Suddenly, all the images and the slideshow came to an abrupt halt.

Before Yu Chen's eyes, everything vanished completely.

Whether it's the endless golden river of time or the boundless void.

They all disappeared completely.

All that remains is the existence of the Chaotic Sea of ​​Time and Space, which is the embodiment of the power of primordial space.

Yu Chen's thoughts surged uncontrollably into this vast chaotic sea—at this moment, apart from the original spatial power, there was nothing in the chaotic sea of ​​time and space; there was no world, nor the spacetime turbulence after decay.

Therefore, Yu Chen was able to observe the essence of the primordial space power with unparalleled clarity.

If we compare the power of primordial space and the power of primordial time to a vast river that flows madly forward forever...

That primordial power of time is the surging river flowing within it. It is because of the existence of the river that it can move forward all the way, and that it can bring about change and everything else in the dead riverbed.

The power of primordial time is the prerequisite for all evolution and change; without time, everything is frozen and solidified.

However, any change requires a "foundation".

In other words, if there is only the power of primordial time, it is still a castle in the air and a fantasy—after all, if nothing exists, then what is the "subject" of evolution and change?

Therefore, the power of the primordial space is the "riverbed" of this vast river.

It provides a "place to contain" all change and existence.

It is the co-evolution of the riverbed and the river water that has created the chaotic sea of ​​time and space and the incomparably prosperous world civilization we see today.

Having realized this, Yu Chen focused all his attention on the massive "riverbed".

Step by step, we see beyond the surface and dissect the essence.

For example, the composition of the "riverbed" is determined by the amount of mud, sand, and pebbles it contains.

For example, their distribution: what percentage is soil, what percentage is sand, and what percentage is gravel?

Besides, how are they distributed, and which is on top and which is on the bottom?
In conclusion, Yu Chen's understanding of the power of the primordial space is more like his exploration and observation of the existence and structure of the chaotic sea of ​​spacetime.

This is destined to be a long and tedious process.

But at this moment, Yu Chen seemed to have forgotten the passage of time, and all his thoughts were focused on the endless "riverbed", feeling the solid, huge, ancient and mysterious "structure"!
Without even needing to deliberately study or memorize, all of these components had already been deeply imprinted into Yu Chen's mind through observation.

It was like a red-hot branding iron, firmly imprinted deep within his soul.

It cannot be peeled off.

This "riverbed," known as the Primal Space Power, is incredibly vast and boundless.

Even though Yu Chen had exhausted all his energy to explore and observe, he still felt the unfathomable and terrifying depths within!
At a certain point, after he had grasped part of it, the subsequent "composition" became like a mirage, completely unclear and impossible to fathom.

At this moment, Yu Chen suddenly realized what was happening.

—This incredibly vast "riverbed" was, to put it simply, evolved from those ninety-nine spatial Dao patterns. Therefore, what could be displayed in such detail before Yu Chen was only the primordial spatial Dao contained within those ninety-nine spatial Dao patterns.

Anyone with a brain would know that the ninety-nine Dao patterns engraved on the silver crystal mirror are definitely not the complete Dao of the Origin Space.

Therefore, after Yu Chen comprehended the Dao of Origin Space contained in the Dao patterns of this Origin Space.

The more profound parts, like a mirage, can only be comprehended by him from scratch.

—This must be a very long time.

Therefore, Yu Chen understood that this period of secluded meditation and enlightenment... had come to an end. (End of Chapter)
