I have a volume of human scriptures

It was like a projection of those seventeen ancient beings.

Endless rolling dark clouds rose and fell behind Yu Chen and Yu Youyu.

One after another, incredibly terrifying figures appeared and disappeared within it—whether it was the ancient and mysterious dark world, or the Abyss World that had once helped Yu Chen… they were all there!
An unimaginable, terrifying pressure emanated from those figures!

Its boundless pressure was like an abyss or a prison, terrifying beyond measure!
At that moment, both Yu Chen and Yu Youyu felt a chill run down their spines and their whole bodies tremble!

what's the situation?
Could it be that these majestic and terrifying figures are all ancient beings?
Do not!
impossible!
Although the endless shadows concealed the faces of most figures, it is still possible to infer that there were at least tens of millions of them!
If these guys were all ancient beings, the entire Source Sea would have exploded long ago!
Therefore... it must be some reason that Yu Chen cannot yet understand that has caused the current situation.

Perhaps this is why the "third category," whether apostles or ancient beings, does not occupy a spot in the chaotic sea of ​​time and space.

Yu Chen and Yu Youyu were so overwhelmed by the immense pressure that they could hardly move.

Just moments later, their divine senses were squeezed out of the Golden River of Time in an instant.

At the very bottom of the primordial space, Yu Chen opened his eyes.

A lingering sense of horror and bewilderment remained in his eyes.

"What...are they?"

Although Yu Youyu was not part of the world, she was by Yu Chen's side and knew many things about the chaotic sea of ​​time and space, so she asked a question.

Yu Chen shook his head: "I don't know. I only know that the two major camps call them the 'Third Category,' but what exactly they are and what their purpose is... no one knows."

Yu Youyu also fell silent.

"Never mind." Yu Chen shook his head, seemingly putting aside his doubts, and said, "Let's take it one step at a time. You go back to the New World first, I need to continue hunting—I've almost absorbed those two powers."

Yu Youyu nodded, turned around and transformed into a stream of light, merging into the new world.

Watching her departing figure, Yu Chen remained silent.

—Although he and Yu Youyu saw the endless dark clouds and the terrifying figures within them at the same time.

But after all, his status was much higher than Yu Youyu's.

What she can "see" is also more than what he can see.

Apart from that ancient, dark, mysterious world and the Abyss World.

He also saw many figures—the endless dark clouds contained not only the world, but also countless “human”-like lives, yet their presence was no less powerful than that of the world.

Among those figures, Yu Chen caught a glimpse of a familiar one.

Yu Youyu.

He saw Yu Youyu in that endless shadow!
Besides these, there were many other acquaintances.

Whether they were beings from the primordial world or native life from the new world... all those familiar figures appeared in the endless dark clouds!

This horrified Yu Chen beyond measure!
He couldn't imagine what Yu Youyu and his relatives and friends would do if they knew about these things.

So in the end, he didn't tell Yu Youyu.

They chose to conceal this incredibly bizarre situation.

But even though he didn't say it, the lingering doubt and horror still filled his mind and body!

Judging from the fact that the incredibly vast dark world and the Abyss World existed within the boundless dark clouds, Yu Chen was almost certain that all the beings within those endless shadows were of the "Third Type".

In other words, they are mysterious beings who mingle between the two camps, appearing and disappearing like a dragon.

At first, Yu Chen only regarded them as some terrifying hidden force. He didn't know what purpose the "Third Category" had in leading him down this path, but he was extremely vigilant.

But that fleeting glimpse earlier left him with endless questions about the existence of the "third type".

If they are really just a force in the chaotic sea of ​​time and space, then... why are there so many old friends of Yu Chen among them?

If the "third category" is indeed inextricably linked to Yu Chen himself, why does Yu Chen have no such memory at all?

—From his birth, and even his past lives, his experiences of being born on "Earth" created by those powerful beings...

None of this has any connection to the "third category".

Yu Chen also had no recollection of having any contact with those so-called "third types" before leaving the restricted area.

but……

No matter how unbelievable it may seem, reality is reality.

Amidst those endless dark clouds, besides some unfamiliar faces he didn't recognize, the majority were his relatives and friends.

And those who were originally his true "old friends" are now perfectly at rest in the new world—whether it's Zhang Bairen, Zhen Yuanzi, Ji Tianming, or any life born in the new world...

Even more bizarrely, within those endless dark clouds, the aura of his familiar "old friends" was so powerful that it horrified him!

It is in no way inferior to a world that has evolved dozens of times!

Some of their auras even far surpass his current level!

This was also something Yu Chen couldn't understand.

Life born in this world can never break through the limits of the "world"—this is an unchanging truth in the chaotic sea of ​​time and space, and it is absolute suppression in terms of status.

Yu Chen was an exception.

His birth was originally the "embryo of the world," which enabled him to create a new world and eventually transcend personalities.

But Yu Youyu and her group were different.

Whether they are ordinary people born in the new world who are powerless, or Yu Youyu and Zhang Bairen who have grown to surpass the emperor, they are all "life born in the world" in terms of status. And these life forms should not be able to cross the "natural barrier" and reach a level comparable to the world.

Even a world that has never evolved is far more powerful and terrifying than any life form born within it.

But that one glance completely overturned this truth, and also overturned Yu Chen's understanding.

He took a deep breath and took out the golden time thread again.

He poured his heart and soul into it. — All his previous words to Yu Youyu were nothing but well-intentioned lies.

Yu Chen wants to... explore that endless dark cloud again!

This is also why he didn't tell Yu Youyu.

Because if you tell her, she will definitely ask to go with Yu Chen.

And within those endless dark clouds, there must be countless unpredictable events.

Yu Chen was not confident that he could protect her while also protecting himself.

In the midst of the dizzying spin, Yu Chen's mind once again arrived at the endless primordial golden river of time.

The mighty, flowing river of gold never ends; it remains majestic and grand, still displaying its magnificent and awe-inspiring appearance.

But this time, Yu Chen no longer paid attention to the endless primordial time river.

He turned around abruptly and saw once again the endless dark clouds that seemed to be collapsing from the sky!

The rolling dark clouds almost completely covered his vision, like an insurmountable and terrifying wall, exuding an extremely terrifying aura while stretching across the endless void!

Just watching.

Yu Chen felt a chill run down his spine!
Although it was just a "projection" and not a real existence, the vast and majestic aura still made him tremble all over!
Although he had previously set aside his doubts about the "third category" countless times, it was always in a situation where he had no clues and could do nothing about it.

But now, he has a premonition.

If he could reach into those endless "dark clouds," he might be able to find the whole truth.

Whether it's the true identities of those "third-category" individuals, their motives, or why their former relatives and friends appear amidst that endless dark cloud...

All the doubts seem to be answered!

So, despite the immense and terrifying pressure, Yu Chen's mind moved forward.

Step out.

In an instant, the feeling of being oppressed by countless mountains weighing ten thousand tons acted on his mind, filled with an invisible force, as if preventing him from getting closer!

But Yu Chen had already made up his mind, regardless of everything!
Take another step!
In an instant, the terrifying pressure intensified, acting on him as if the sky were collapsing!
That feeling was as if Yu Chen had returned to when he was still a mortal, carrying a huge mountain on his back!
It's incredibly difficult!

But he didn't give up and took the third step!
At this moment, he could barely keep his balance!

An overwhelming and terrifying pressure enveloped his entire body, as if it were trying to forcefully push him away!

It was at this moment that Yu Chen discovered something strange—this terrifying oppressive force did not come from the endless dark clouds, but from somewhere else in the dark!
It was as if something other than him and the endless dark clouds was preventing him from getting closer to those clouds!
This time, Yu Chen listened for a very long time.

Only then did he manage to stabilize himself under that terrifying repulsive force!
Taking the fourth step again!
At that moment, his mind seemed to be caught in an endless storm, carrying an absolute and inviolable will that made him retreat!

Even so, he did not back down at all. After taking the fourth step, it took him a long time to become familiar with and withstand this terrifying repulsive force.

Then, keep going!
Go ahead!

Time passed little by little.

Yu Chen's steps became slower and slower, and his walking became more and more difficult.

Later on, every step required several days of rest to recover one's energy and mental strength!
In this process, he also discovered that this inexplicable repulsive force was just like when he first entered the chaotic sea of ​​time and space and deliberately stepped into the endless temporal storm.

This repulsive force actually had a tempering effect on his spirit!

However, the endless temporal storms of the past tempered the new world and Yu Chen's body, while the repulsive force before him is only tempering his spirit.

If we compare his mind and thoughts at this moment to an iron blank full of impurities.

So every step he takes forward now feels like an invisible giant hammer, forging his spirit again and again!

Each time he took a step, exhausting all his mental energy, and then steadied himself after almost exhausting his spiritual strength, he could feel that his spirit had become stronger!
Although the growth brought about by each step is almost negligible.

But even small amounts add up, and little by little, they become a great ocean!

As he drew closer step by step, Yu Chen's heart and soul were slowly growing stronger!
Of course, as a price, he was enduring immense pain and torment—exhausting all his mental energy was already a considerable pain, and Yu Chen was now experiencing an endless cycle of depletion and recovery.

It was as if his mind was being slowly tortured, sliced ​​away bit by bit!
Even so, he did not back down in the slightest.

Pain and torment were commonplace for him; the hardships he had experienced along the way were even greater than before!

And just like that, a century has passed in the blink of an eye!

In the chaotic world of time and space, a hundred years is but a blink of an eye—if two powerful legion commanders are locked in a stalemate during their battle, it could easily last for thousands of years; in the normal world, a period of slumber and meditation could also last for tens of thousands of years.

But for Yu Chen at this moment, these hundred years seemed like an endless, long time, and every moment was a terrible torment to his spirit!
That's why.

Over the past century, Yu Chen's mental strength has reached a terrifying level!

As his spirit grew stronger, he was able to clearly feel that his control and mastery of the two fundamental paths, the power of the world's origin, and the various secret techniques he had created had been enhanced to an unprecedented degree!
This can be considered a pleasant surprise!

More importantly, he has truly come close to that endless, terrifying dark cloud!
Just one step away!
He was just one step away from truly stepping into this endless dark cloud and witnessing the whole "truth" with his own eyes!
But this last step is also the most difficult to take!

The invisible repulsive force had almost reached its peak, and it was already quite difficult for Yu Chen to stabilize his body!

Time and again, he used that invisible repulsive force to temper his spirit—expending his mind and energy time and time again, recovering time and time again, and becoming stronger time and time again!
Even so, that final step still seems so far away!
But Yu Chen wasn't in a hurry.

Having come this far, how can we possibly turn back empty-handed?
If one hundred years isn't enough, then two hundred years; if two hundred years isn't enough, then three hundred years...

There will come a moment!
His spirit was able to withstand the terrifying repulsive force!
And so, time flew by.

Another hundred years have passed!

Yu Chen's spirit had become so resilient and powerful at this moment that it was unimaginable.

If his spirit was a huge, jagged rock before, then it is now a near-perfect divine embryo that has been forged away from all impurities!
Yu Chen could sense it.

—It's time!

Take the final step! (End of Chapter)
