Swallowing the Starry Sky for Billions of Years

Chapter 795 Extra Chapter 3: Infinite Time
In Huaiyin Hall, Gu En had just emerged from the "Thousand Washing Pool," his body still radiating an extremely terrifying aura that reverberated through the hall.

The Thousand Cleansing Pool is a liquid refined from various precious resources. Soaking in it subjectes one to hundreds of millions of genetic distortions and temperings every second. Each time one stays there, Gu En can comprehend tens of thousands of epochs. At the same time, by using the Body Refining Manual from his inheritance, he has tempered his divine body to an unbelievable level. Even if he were to return and be hit by the spaceship, his divine body would not crack. This is the incredible change after the Body Refining Manual and the Thousand Cleansing Pool were combined. Now, his divine body is more resilient than many supreme treasures, even the defensive treasures of Void True Gods!

"Seventh Brother, you've already reached the third level, haven't you? Just standing in the main hall makes me feel like I can't breathe." On one side of the main hall, a purple creature resembling a frog carrying mountains on its back, Platinum Jie, widened its eyes. He was brought in by the second guide. When he arrived, Gu En had already completed the second level of cultivation.

The Platinum race is unique. They invest all their resources into the mountains, carrying their burdens as they travel, while simultaneously tempering themselves against the mountains. They are a race naturally skilled in crafting artifacts. Only upon death will a portion of their essence evolve into offspring. They have no gender distinction; the more thoroughly they temper their divine bodies, the more offspring they will have.

According to Bo Jie, he comes from the Silkworm World Group. His clan is the undisputed overlord. The entire world group has hundreds of worlds, seventeen of which belong entirely to their clan. They frantically and greedily plunder all kinds of resources to refine their own treasures. The more they plunder, the stronger they become.

Gunn only learned later that the Primal Universe, located in the Origin Continent world, was merely one of the three thousand Primal Universes. Compared to Bo Jie, it was insignificant. Much of the information he obtained in the Huaiyin Palace was information that Bo Jie already knew.

“You can do it too. The time you spent receiving the inheritance was half that of me, only a little over two trillion epochs,” Gunn exclaimed. “I had just emerged from seclusion when you completed the inheritance.”

“You still love using your hometown’s time.” Bo Jie’s focus was different.

The flow of time in the primordial universe is much slower than outside. Ten thousand epochs outside is equivalent to ten trillion epochs in the cosmic sea. He hasn't cultivated much here, but time passes very quickly in his hometown. A day in the cosmic sea is equivalent to several epochs.

Fortunately, this is the Huaiyin Palace, which maintains "absolute constancy." The time that Gu En spends cultivating here is the same as the time he spends in the Cosmic Sea, until he leaves the Huaiyin Palace once, after which it will return to normal.

When Gunn first heard about it, he was incredulous. It meant that Huaiyin Palace could maintain a balance of up to seven different timelines. What kind of power was that?

Xing Zhe said that the Star Lord was the life form with the deepest understanding of spacetime in the Hunyuan Space, and he completely agreed with this.

Of course, there are exceptions, like now, when Gunn and Platt communicate using external time. In such situations, even if he just chats for a couple of minutes, hundreds or thousands of years have passed in the primordial universe.

"Then I won't bother you any longer, Seventh Brother. I'll go check out the Divine Power Tower first." Bo Jie was also looking forward to the Divine Power Tower. Although their clan had a Divine Power Record, this was a record created by the lord, so it must be extraordinary. He definitely had to go see it.

Guen doesn't need to go to the Divine Power Tower.

The shock of his first visit to the Divine Power Pavilion is still fresh in his memory. He had spent 108,000 books of secret techniques to describe the most basic divine power path, but a single catalog from the Divine Power Pavilion could directly show the form, composition, changes, and so on of a perfect gene of life, even the third level of life genes were shown in full detail.

What a stroke of luck!

Because of the Divine Power Tower, Gu En was able to reach the third level so quickly. In addition to various divine power diagrams, the Divine Power Tower also has a divine power platform. Even with Gu En's current infinite divine body and 90,000 times the life gene, his flaws and errors can still be detected when he stands on it. His cultivation of the divine power path may still go further, but it is enough for Gu En.

"Star Ochre, the primordial universe, what's the situation now?"

It took Gunn nearly five trillion epochs to receive the inheritance, twice as fast as Star Ochre's estimate of ten trillion epochs. However, what convinced Star Ochre to acknowledge him as its master was his rapid progress in utilizing the inheritance and mastering the path of divine power.

This still involves spending more time on obscure and difficult-to-understand traditions.

The inheritance, named "Nine Records of Huaiyin," includes a Body Refining Record for tempering the divine body, a Primordial Record for enhancing and activating the essence of treasures, and a Primordial Record for refining various materials to enter the life genes...

So far, Gu En has the best grasp of the Body Refining Manual and the Yuanzhen Manual. Of the other seven, he has only mastered the Primordial Manual, the Ting Sheng Manual which can continuously sublimate treasures using the same type of resources, and the Juyu Manual which is used to inscribe the fundamental laws. He has not yet explored the others.

In fact, the Silver Dust Reincarnation Spear is a product of the Sacred Court Records laid down by the God Lord. It can be continuously upgraded using the same type of resources until there are no more resources of the corresponding level. Now, Gu En has also made use of the Sacred Court Records to push the Silver Dust Reincarnation Spear to a level that even an Eternal True God can use.

He handed the "Eye of Darkness" obtained from the Treasure Hall to Xing Zhe, instructing him to keep a close eye on the time and situation of the Primordial Universe, and to return immediately if anything seemed amiss.

The Eye of Darkness, when near, can see through the structure of all life; when far, it can gaze upon other worlds. It is an important means for Gunn to observe the primordial universe.

“Master, the Primordial Universe is facing a crisis of World Beasts, I’m afraid…” Xing Zhe was somewhat reluctant to say, hoping that Gu En would solidify his foundation here, but having already served Gu En as his master, he couldn’t lie at all.

"World Beasts?" Gunn retrieved some data, then his expression changed drastically. "How can there be such a calamity? How could the primordial universe possibly withstand it?"

Guen was very uneasy. Even if he were to break through to become a true god right now, he would feel that he was somewhat helpless against this kind of life created by the rules. Killing it would be difficult, because the world beasts would definitely become kings. Once they became kings and possessed the source of destruction, he might be able to resist to some extent, but he could only take care of himself. If the world beast kings went to destroy the original universe, he could only watch.

Even the primordial universe, after dying once, can be reborn under its own rules. But what about humanity, the Ancestral God Cult, the Holy Land, the Arcane Empire…?

Everything will be gone.

"The Primordial Universe cannot withstand it, but you, Master, can. In the Treasure Hall, there is a Decree used to enslave the Chaotic Origin Lifeforms. The World Beasts are protected by the supreme rules of the Origin Continent and will not allow you to successfully enslave them, unless a Star Lord is willing to help you strengthen the Decree. However, it can only temporarily influence them, causing them to enter the chaotic void of the Cosmic Sea. The World Beast King is the rule of destruction, and the chaotic void is the rule of operation. If the World Beast King goes deep into it, it will also get lost and never return. In this way, the Primordial Universe can be saved. Other methods can even destroy it, such as the Thunder of All Things, which can annihilate everything. It is the Great Dao of the Origin of Matter and can also be used to deal with the World Beast King..."

Guen, after all, is the master of Star Ochre. Emotions are emotions, but solutions are solutions.

"Then I'll break through to the True God level. Anyway, I'm already at the third level." Gu En was a little anxious. The treasures in the Treasure Pavilion still needed to have their inheritance puzzle solved before they could be opened, and his time was equally tight.

“But Master, now that you’ve broken through, your miniature universe will be attached to the Huaiyin Palace. Although it’s definitely safer than in the original universe, it’s inconvenient to go back.”

"I can't worry about that now." Gunn's mind was made up.

……

Perhaps sensing the danger, Dan Chan's clone woke up earlier this time, but felt a strange tremor in his heart. Looking at the starry sky, he felt his gaze drifting to an infinitely high and infinitely far place.

The Lord of Chongyuan sensed something and opened the gate to the place where his teacher was immersed, only to find a chaotic and bewildering illusory vine, while the most important mountain of the Piaofeng Alliance had vanished without a trace.

……

“Guen, you—” The Chaos City Lord also immediately sensed something was wrong.

Even in slumber, Dan Chan's clone would maintain a scan of the virtual universe interface, the primary method by which the Chaos City Lord ensured Gu En's existence. But now, that connection was completely severed. On one side, Luo Feng was preparing for his final battle.

On one hand, Gunn has completely severed ties.

'Wait, how can Venerable Purple Radiance and Blazing Inferno still connect to the virtual universe?'

The Lord of Chaos City was dumbfounded. What was going on with that Danchan clone? Its spirit had withered and its self had collapsed.
Knowing of the special existence of the Blazing Thorns and Moto, the Lord of Chaos summoned them: "Do you know that Gunn's avatar has disappeared?"

Blazing Thorns and Moto were taken aback, exchanging a glance: "Gone? But we feel like our master is getting closer and closer?"

Getting closer?

Before he could think, Luo Feng opened his eyes in the Pantheon, where the main consciousness of the Chaos City Lord resided.

"The final battle is won!" Luo Feng's voice rang out. "The cataclysm of the World Beasts has passed. This cycle of reincarnation still has trillions of epochs to go, so everyone, don't worry!"

The cheers were deafening, and the entire universe, even the cosmic ocean, was swept up in a frenzy.

……

“How wonderful.” Gunn stood at the top of the Peak Realm, looking down at the chaos of the cosmic sea, his gaze having already penetrated the cosmic membrane and seen the entirety of the primordial universe.

Not for a moment did he feel sad that he had made a wasted trip. At this moment, Gunn was no longer in a hurry. His gaze turned to those, no, those two incomparably beautiful lives.

……

Time gradually calmed down.

The Lord of Chongyuan was momentarily dazed as he watched the red-haired human with a green rune on his forehead recount his experiences known only to himself and the Sage of Xuanfeng.

His most respected teacher was actually a human being, a human being who had been dormant for over ten trillion epochs.
"What's wrong? Feeling uncomfortable?" Gunn asked with a smile.

“Teacher, how could we be comfortable? I feel so sorry for you.” The Lord of Chongyuan and the Lord of Huoquan sighed repeatedly, but then the Lord of Chongyuan smiled. “So even if we fail to break through, we can still have a place in your holy land, Teacher? Your avatar is nowhere to be found, Teacher.”

Gunn laughed: "Then you'd better be prepared. My holy land is higher and farther than other holy lands."

The Lord of Chongyuan looked puzzled.

……

After meeting the people he needed to meet, Gunn finally found the Lord of Chaos City at the foot of an abandoned mountain in the Cosmic Sea.

"You're back." The Lord of Chaos City finally relaxed, the heaviness he felt when Dan Chan's clone dissipated finally dissipating.

“I couldn’t help at all,” Gunn sighed.

"Have you forgotten the Thread-Connecting Diagram you sent? In Liuchong Mountain, we found the remains of this person named Jiuyu Xingzhe, the strongest being of the previous era. When we found it, it was already broken in many ways, but the remaining parts still became a Chaos Stele with 27 Heavenly Bridges." The Chaos City Lord didn't think so. "Do you know? Luo Feng cultivated this Chaos Stele. You've been a great help."

Gu En was taken aback. Bai Huixingchen had once produced a diagram of the silk threads, but he didn't recognize it at the time and didn't have the opportunity to give it to the Lord of Chaos City. He didn't expect there to be such a change in it.

"Now that there are 52 Chaos Steles, I wonder how many people they have helped? Your contribution is greater than you can imagine." The Chaos City Lord pointed to the mountaintop. "Your teacher and Luo Feng are still waiting for you."

"I'll come back to find my senior brother later." Gu En went uphill, where two beings were guarding the mountainside. One of them was actually the Qianwu Venerable, standing in the chaotic air currents.

Even Venerable Qianwu hadn't expected to see Palace Master Gu Hui again, and now he didn't even know how to address him.

But he was still grateful, because the last time he borrowed treasures, it was Gunn who lent him a set of powerful treasures and allowed him to repay them with Chaos Units; otherwise, he would have been crushed by those debts long ago.

"My lord, it is a pity that I can no longer follow you," sighed Venerable Qianwu.

"Being the Galactic Lord isn't so bad. Just do your job well." Gunn nodded to him and headed straight for the summit, where the Primal Ancestor and Luo Feng were already waiting for him.

"Want to fight?" Luo Feng understood Gunn's intention. There was such a terrifying existence in the primordial universe, and he was excited and eager to fight it.

"I, as the teacher, am actually inferior to those who came later." The Primordial sighed. He could only watch the battle, but he still asked Gunn with some regret, "Aren't you planning to go with us to explore the cycle of reincarnation?"

Gunn shook his head: "My inheritance is constantly moving. It is still very close to the original universe. I can still make it back. If I can't, the loss will be much greater. After I go back, I might wait for you at the end of the cycle of reincarnation."

Luo Feng patted Morosa's head: "We sparred once before, and I was no match for you. This time, Morosa is also part of my strength, so you mustn't lose."

“There’s still plenty of time. If we lose, we can get it back.” Gunn was equally confident. “If you lose once and I lose once, it doesn’t count as a loss.”

Luo Feng and Yuan Zu also sighed, "Yes, from being suppressed by the God Lord to becoming the number one power in the universe, humanity now has so many opportunities to pursue and witness. The stumbles and setbacks along the way are just part of the scenery."

From the moment they defeated the Beast of the Realm, they had an infinite amount of time.
