Two Realms: A giant of immortal martial arts emerges from low Wu Gan

"A pseudo-independent universe? What does that mean?"

"Based on the computational power of the matrix, we are certain that after half of the visible universe was destroyed, a strange reaction occurred because the other half of the universe was not destroyed."

The next moment, the mechanical envoy slowly opened its hands, and the components in its palms emitted light, subsequently constructing countless stardust-like objects.

Everyone looked on with their eyes.

The countless grains of sand rapidly converged and then gathered into a single point. Upon witnessing this scene, two words came to mind for all the Venerables present.

"Singularity!"

As expected, the countless stardust grains in the mechanical messenger's hand suddenly shattered, then continuously condensed and contracted in the air, transforming into clusters of small nebulae.

"That pseudo-universe is not completely independent like our universe, but is attached to the known universe."

"Furthermore, through various tests, we have detected the value of that pseudo-universe in the vicinity!"

The mechanical messenger's voice became unusually deep at this moment, as if he had deliberately switched it to tell a secret.

"That pseudo-universe, though long destroyed, was somehow reborn and re-established, preserving the original laws of the prehistoric universe, which differ from the laws of our world."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Jiuxiao's breathing became much heavier.

This might not be a big deal for ordinary practitioners.

But for venerable beings like them, if they could witness the unaltered universe and understand its laws, they might be able to gain a deeper understanding and advance further!
All methods of cultivation originate from the universe and all things, a fact universally acknowledged by many great clans.

"So, the black stone that our human race obtained is the key to unlocking that pseudo-universe?"

Jiang Shu immediately spoke up.

"I cannot give Venerable Jiang Shu a definite answer, but I can confirm that there is nearly a 93% probability that the black stone is the key to that pseudo-universe, however..."

The mechanical messenger, just like any other human, shook his head slightly, as if expressing doubt.

"As you and I both know, the pseudo-universe can be regarded as a preserved sample of the prehistoric universe. But why would the saint in the saint's tomb seal it away, take the key with him, and finally give it to us, the beings who disturbed his eternal rest?"

The crowd was slightly puzzled.

After one question is answered, more questions arise.

What exactly happened after that cataclysmic disaster?

Why was that pseudo-universe sealed off again after it was discovered?

And why would that key appear in the saint's tomb?

A host of doubts suddenly filled everyone's minds.

In the midst of this deathly silence, the Zerg envoy suddenly sneered:
"This machine race has said almost everything I was prepared to say."

"The secret of everything may lie in that universe. We have said everything we can. Humans, now it is up to you whether you are willing to come together."

"Give me your choice!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Zerg envoy stared intently at Zhan Jiuxiao and Jiang Shu, as if waiting for a result.

Jiang Shu, Zhan Jiuxiao, and the many Venerables present exchanged glances, their divine senses colliding in the void, and they immediately made a decision.

"If everything the Machine Race and the Zerg have said is true, our Terran War Alliance is willing to get involved in this matter."

Zhan Jiuxiao spoke solemnly.

At this point, he also realized that the Zerg and Mechs were getting restless after he suggested sharing this information with other dominant races.

This is a great opportunity!

Whoever can benefit from this, whoever can learn from the secrets of that time, may be able to greatly increase their strength and reach the status of the only supreme race.

After all, that was a matter of cosmic destruction back then.

Between venerable ones, the speed of communication is perhaps even faster than that of an ordinary supercomputer; almost instantly, both sides have already devised a countermeasure.

Zhan Jiuxiao continued speaking:
"In this regard, you two, this secret is indeed somewhat beyond our expectations. Our alliance needs to make some modifications to the previous terms."

The mechanical messenger agreed, saying, "Please say it; this is something we had already anticipated."

"Don't be too greedy, human."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Jiuxiao nodded slightly:
"The conclusion of our meeting just now is that we are willing to explore together with the Machine Race and the Zerg, but apart from that, neither the Black Stone nor that rune will be handed over to you immediately."

"The premise of this cooperation is that we have seen that pseudo-universe with our own eyes and are completely certain that those patterns are the key to entering."

"In addition, once we have confirmed everything, we will release those two late-stage Venerable Daoists directly, without having to hand over any resources at that time."

He spoke with unwavering resolve; this was a demand the War Alliance could not back down from.

The interests of humanity must be protected.

"Agreed. I hope our cooperation will continue to be as pleasant as ever."

The mechanical god-messenger expressed his agreement and extended a hand.

Zhan Jiuxiao nodded slightly, raised his hand, and performed the human race's handshake greeting.

"Yes, we Zerg have no objection. However, since that pseudo-universe is not within the detectable universe, there is no clear pattern to its activation."

"No problem, we can wait. Do you know when the next opening will be?"

A flash of light appeared in the mechanical race's consciousness, revealing a large flow of information.

"Based on our predictions, the next activation will be thirteen days, twenty-three hours, forty-two minutes and five seconds from now."

"Based on the calculation results, the distance estimation error is estimated to be no more than one ten-thousandth."

"Fortunately."

Zhan Jiuxiao nodded slightly, then said, "Send the envoys away to return to their respective forces. When we cooperate for the first time, we will naturally send the other two back."

"Hopefully, this will be a wonderful collaboration that meets expectations."

The mechanical race envoy nodded and left with the insectoid envoy.

Soon, the main hall fell into what was expected.

"The pseudo-universe is truly too shocking. Perhaps we can really gain tremendous benefits from it."

"Oh, that black stone is actually a key."

"However, now that we know about this, can we use the key to locate the pseudo-universe in reverse?"

The many venerable ones discussed it animatedly, but their focus was on the black stone that Jiang Shu had already integrated into his body.

As pairs of eyes turned to him, Jiang Shu gave a bitter smile and slowly shook his head.

"I had no choice. This method was beyond my expectations. This is the power of a saint."

"If I were at the level of a saint, perhaps I could perform reverse positioning, but that would only be a guess..."

After hearing these words, everyone had no choice but to give up their hopes.

This is just wishful thinking.

The Zerg and the Machine Races are willing to share what just happened with them, but if they were to turn around and try to monopolize this huge pie, there's no doubt that the other side would absolutely refuse. It's even possible that the very methods they used to threaten the two races would be used against them in return.

After all, simply passing the message on to other dominant races is not a difficult task. The Zerg and the Machine Race, to say the least, have at least dozens of ways to prove the authenticity of the event.

At that time, the human alliance that possesses the key and coordinates will likely become the target of everyone's attacks, and will instead be put on the brink of disaster.

"Jiang Shu, don't make any moves these days. Just stay in the War Alliance. As for the Nine Universe Chamber of Commerce, we will naturally send people to keep an eye on it, so there's no need to worry."

Zhan Jiuxiao looked at Jiang Shu and spoke.

The news brought by the Machine Race and the Zerg Race was so shocking that Jiang Shu's status rose sharply in the eyes of many Venerables.

In a sense, the War Alliance can do without Zhan Jiuxiao as its vice leader, but it absolutely cannot do without Jiang Shu, a key figure.

"Thank you, senior."

Jiang Shu nodded slightly, naturally aware of the advantages and disadvantages involved.

"So good."

The many venerable ones nodded slightly.

After discussing the matter further, Jiang Shu turned and returned to his residence, ostensibly to go into seclusion, but in reality to begin contemplating his own affairs.

"Previously, it seems that the benefits of traveling between the two worlds were underestimated."

Jiang Shu tapped his fingers on the table, lost in thought.

In his view, the previous travel between the two worlds was about being able to use the two worlds to obtain resources from each other, stepping on each other's feet.

However, after the incident of the Immortal Embryo in the Cave of Ten Thousand Gods, and now the incident of the Pseudo-Universe, Jiang Shu has become increasingly aware of the wonders of different Great Daos.

"Although the vast Cangmang Domain uses spiritual energy and the demon domain is rich in demonic energy, they undoubtedly belong to the same world and their laws are interconnected."

Actually, verifying this is quite simple.

When the True Martial Sect had a powerful Dao Master, no strong individual in the Demon Realm had reached that level.

Conversely, after the Bashe Demon Saint and the Eastern Wilderness Dragon Lord ascended to this position, no human race dared to step onto this throne.

As for the universe we are in now, it is completely different from those two realms.

"It seems I truly am sitting on a mountain of treasures without realizing it."

Jiang Shu gave a bitter smile.

The difference between a pseudo-universe and a starry universe may not be as great as the difference between a vast, desolate domain and a realm of star ruins.

The former was enough to bring the three races together and almost led to war.

In fact, if anything goes wrong with any of the three parties, the remaining two parties will immediately counterattack by introducing a fourth or fifth party into the game.

"After this, I will continue to comprehend the laws of the two worlds and experience their differences in order to improve my own cultivation of the Great Dao."

Jiang Shu slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, already having anticipated this.

"But now, you have to start experiencing it."

Jiang Shu's eyes flickered slightly as he entered the spatial wormhole and returned to the Eternal Tower once more.

This place is absolutely safe; there will be no problems.

He went directly to the ninth level of the Eternal Tower and began to comprehend the different Great Daos he had comprehended in the vast domain and the cosmic starry sky by utilizing the 512 time flow rates within it.

With a time flow rate more than 500 times faster, for an ordinary person, even just staying in such a place for a few days might not exhaust their lifespan, but their body would definitely not be able to withstand such a drain.

As Jiang Shu continued to comprehend these insights, he suddenly realized that deep within his body and even his soul, there existed a faint trace of the Daoist principles that he had not previously noticed.

"This is……"

Jiang Shu suddenly had some insights.

He quietly held that wisp of Daoist essence in his palm, and vaguely sensed an extremely familiar aura within it.

"This...this is the Daoist aura related to the forbidden laws?!"

The forbidden decree originated from the demon race's Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor.

According to the remnant soul of the Bashe, the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor once forcibly killed a demon from beyond the heavens and then stripped away all the Dao essence from his physical body.

Most of it was transformed into the main material for the Immortal Embryo, which was used by the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor as capital for a second life, while the rest became various treasures.

Some of these were transformed into forbidden laws.

Upon realizing this, Jiang Shu was both surprised and delighted.

He was naturally more aware of the terrifying effects of the prohibition decree; to some extent, it could ignore formations, restrictions, and other means, allowing for unimpeded passage.

Jiang Shu guessed that the reason the prohibition law was so effective was probably because this treasure was for one-time use only.

"But if I could comprehend this method, perhaps..."

Jiang Shu's heart began to pound wildly.

He immediately used his own power to nurture this wisp of Daoist essence and began to comprehend and cultivate it.

The flow of time on the ninth floor of the Eternal Tower is 512 times faster. Jiang Shu cultivated, and the forbidden Daoist charm began to gradually imprint itself on his body.

Of course, it was only a wisp.

If Jiang Shu wanted to expand it, he would have to spend a lot of time and effort to do so.

The two weeks that had passed for outsiders quickly slipped away.

Jiang Shu walked out of the Eternal Tower and immediately returned to the War Alliance headquarters. Sure enough, he heard news of Zhan Jiuxiao as soon as he arrived.

"You've finally emerged from the Eternal Tower. Now, it's time to make your move. Come with me then!"

"Alliance Leader, you personally went?"

Jiang Shu was slightly surprised, but nodded.

This is not just a matter for the War Alliance, but also a major event for the human race.

Jiang Shu hurried along with Zhan Jiuxiao and soon encountered many Venerables among the human race.

At this moment, Elder Lei was also in the queue.

However, Elder Lei's gaze toward Jiang Shu at this moment still seemed somewhat incredulous.

After all, the last time they acted together, Jiang Shu was just an ordinary junior, at most exceptionally talented, but that was all.

Now, Jiang Shu has turned his talent into strength, and in some ways, he is even able to stand on equal footing with him.

"Greetings, Elder Lei."

Jiang Shu raised his hand in a gesture of respect.

"No need for formalities, you are in charge today."

Elder Lei laughed three times: "Come on, today we'll inevitably have to negotiate with the Machine Race and the Zerg." (End of Chapter)
