A journey of survival starting from Zhetian

Chapter 632 An Ominous Sign Appears Quietly

The Probability Era.

A deity manifesting supreme talismans walks in the boundless "ocean," each step accompanied by a peculiar melody, carrying inexplicable meaning, stepping out the meaning of existence, and taking a step further "distance" from its own homeland.

After an unknown amount of time, a peculiar "tide" swept in. The deity could feel the boundless power contained within it, carrying a power even more terrifying than the Supreme One, washing over his divine body and sliding off the supreme light of the Supreme Talisman, flowing away behind him.

Under the protection of the Supreme Dao Light, he vaguely saw worlds shimmering with special radiance forming in this place, only to vanish in a fleeting moment, like a dream he could not remember after waking up, or a daydream that could not leave a trace in his mind.

It is so dazzling, and so unpredictable.

This supreme deity sighed softly, "Chaotic Tides. The only force that can circulate in an orderly manner in this chaotic ocean, and also the only reliable 'phenomenon' that can be stably used to calculate the passage of time."

His eyes held a glimmer of brilliance, "No matter how many times I've witnessed the Chaotic Tide, I can't remember the 'reality' that briefly manifests, yet I can't forget the brilliance that briefly lingers in my memory."

This special insight, under the influence of spirituality, was engraved into the manifested talisman, adding an unusual brilliance to the ever-turning illusory starry sky within, and making the supreme Dao light that suppressed its existence, drawn from a distant land, even more profound.

Sensing a slight improvement in his own cultivation, the supreme deity's eyes brightened a little, but he made no move. He simply waited quietly, silently sensing the chaotic tide that erupted from the unknown land, and experiencing the endless brilliance flowing past him under the influence of the strands of supreme Dao light around him.

After an unknown amount of time, the chaotic tide completely passed, and the ever-changing world around them gradually disappeared from their sight. This chaotic "ocean" returned to "calm" once more, leaving only the overlapping void and the clash of cosmic light that were commonplace at other times, keeping the concept of existence within this "ocean" constantly in a state of uncertainty.

Suddenly, this supreme deity discovered several bubble worlds still existing in the chaotic "ocean," and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.

"We're lucky. After this chaotic tide, several bubble worlds were left behind. Normally, nothing would have been left behind, which would have meant that something had actually happened."

He quickly formed hand seals, activating the supreme talismans that had manifested, and drawing in several beams of supreme Dao light, each carrying a piece of information from the "ordination method," which were then projected toward several bubble-like worlds "not far away."

As he watched these systemic information merge into these bubbly worlds, giving them an extra touch of bright yellow eternity, the supreme deity's smile deepened.

"Hopefully, in the future, a few star lords will emerge in these realms, so that there is some hope that these realms will slowly move across this chaotic ocean, following the guiding principles on the divine talismans, and head towards the central divine realm."

Just as this supreme deity slowly withdrew his gaze from these worlds and prepared to step into the "deeper depths" of this chaotic "ocean," a peculiar change suddenly occurred in one of the bubble worlds, which he vaguely sensed, and a sense of curiosity arose in his heart.

Before he could even use his divine magic to observe, nor before he could go to the side of this bubble world, the changes that were closely related to the first special case began to occur one after another. Moreover, these special changes even extended to the other bubble worlds, causing the immortal bright yellow light that shone in the world to dim a few points.

The supreme deity's face held a hint of indifference, which vanished in an instant, replaced by a touch of astonishment.

"The Yellow Emperor's earth element power is eternal, how could it be affected by something that is not even at the level of an emperor?"

However, this change was still happening. These several bubble worlds seemed to possess some kind of special consciousness, and began to approach each other, slowly merging into one strange world that was more powerful and made the shimmering immortal bright yellow light even dimmer.

Perhaps it was the supreme deity's illusion, but he even vaguely sensed a special kind of "weak malice" echoing in this strange world, a mixture of the consciousness of countless beings, slowly glancing at him with a strange "desire".

After a moment's thought, the supreme deity, with a hint of wariness, cast several protective spells before slowly approaching this strange world.

Since ascending to the third rank of Emperor through the "Ordination Method" and becoming a supreme being, and having roamed the chaotic ocean for millions of years with the help of the Yellow Emperor, he had never encountered such a special and strange world that could affect even a wisp of the Yellow Emperor's power. This made him extremely curious.

Moreover, as a subordinate deity of the Yellow Emperor, he also had the duty to investigate this change that could affect the Yellow Emperor's power.

With a few steps, the concepts of existence and distance extended, and this supreme deity stood before this strange world in a short instant. However, the ominous aura that rose from within the world immediately made him feel a sense of disgust, and a slight chill rose from the depths of his heart.

He couldn't help but frown and mutter to himself, "This feeling of disgust comes from the 'Ordination Method' cultivation system, while the slight chill deep in my heart comes from the rules and logic established by the Yellow Emperor, which are gathered on my body by the faith of all the spirits of heaven and earth. They are disgusted by this special aura, and all the spirits of heaven and earth are even more terrified of the source of this special aura."

"What is this thing? Why does it elicit a combined response from two forces?"

This supreme deity, having exhausted some of the faith stored within, unleashed a special divine technique of detection, bypassing the "slight malice" of this strange world, and thoroughly surveyed everything, everything, and every living being in this bubble world.

In an instant, his expression changed again.

"How could I possibly fail to detect this ominous aura at the source of this bubble world?!"

"Even if I am merely a god who ascended by following the path, I am still a supreme being, on the same level of life as those great gods who opened their own paths!"

"This mere bubble world doesn't even contain a single supreme being. How could it interfere with my divine magic, or prevent me from conducting a thorough investigation?!"

The supreme deity's gaze shifted slightly, and his expression became solemn.

"Unless, the source of this strange aura in this bizarre world is at the same supreme level as me, or even higher."

Realizing the problem, he immediately activated his divine talismans, using the faith of all spirits he had gathered as a medium to transmit his discovery back to the Central Divine Realm. Then, he began to create a wisp of consciousness and, using divine magic, began to transform it, bypassing the numerous fluctuations emanating from this strange world towards the chaotic ocean, and projecting it into this world, where it was "reincarnated" as a primordial being.
-
Within a strange world.

A celestial jade stone buried deep underground suddenly burst forth with strands of creation, rapidly shaping nine orifices. Countless impurities dissipated from its body to its exterior, transforming into a stone figure that seemed to be a fusion of the mysteries of heaven and earth.

"boom"

Accompanied by muffled ripples that only spread a few hundred meters, the stone figure emerged from the depths of the earth and appeared on a desolate hill. With a look of surprise and doubt, it gazed at the sky, staring at the shattered, glass-like firmament.

"I already knew there was something wrong with this world, and it was a big problem. But I never imagined that the problem would be so big that even I felt a little terrified."

"Observing from outside the world yields completely different results than observing from within it. And for me, a supreme being, to observe such an abnormality in a bubble world that seems so easily destroyed is simply too incredible."

As the gaze shifts slightly downwards, what comes into view of the stone figure are rows of grotesque giant trees covered in dark red flesh.

The once verdant branches have turned into something resembling skeletons, with a viscous, dark red liquid, like bone marrow, even oozing from their surface. The leaves, which should have swayed in the wind, have become strands of flesh and blood, with sharp, barbed teeth, writhing as if they possessed their own consciousness.

The roots, deeply embedded in the earth, transformed into tentacles with moist eyes, occasionally dripping with a murky white liquid carrying the scent of decay. Where the liquid spilled, wisps of icy white smoke rose, evoking a violent and ferocious mental suggestion.

A sweet, slightly fishy smell wafted from the fruits, which resembled deformed infants. If one listened closely, one could hear unspeakable blasphemous words that instilled fear in all living beings, while simultaneously fueling their yearning for these fruits.

A sweeping view from the highest point of the hill revealed these eerie trees growing everywhere, densely covering the horizon. As they moved slowly, their hoarse, terrifying, unknown language penetrated deeper into consciousness, polluting the world, distorting all paths, and corrupting all living beings.

Even the stone figure, formed from a wisp of consciousness of a supreme being, paled slightly at the sight.

Even though he had traveled through the chaotic ocean for millions of years and seen no fewer than ten thousand newly formed bubble worlds and all sorts of ecosystems, he had never seen such a distorted, malevolent, and ferocious environment, one that was out of control from the very depths of the laws of nature.

Such a conflict with normal perception, even from the information received through his six senses alone, gave him a terrifying illusion of physical pain, numbness in his soul, chilling coldness in his heart, and a feeling that his own consciousness was being polluted.

"What exactly is the source of that ominous aura? How could it cause the entire Bubble World to be distorted to such a terrifying degree?"

The stone man suppressed the chilling aura that ran down his spine, took all the precautions he could, and slowly spread his consciousness into the world, beginning to gradually explore the laws of this world.

In a mere instant, a painful groan emanated from the stone man's body, his aura plummeted, and pieces of flesh and blood, shimmering with an ominous dark light, slowly moved from his body to the surface, finally falling to the ground and rolling down the hillside, where they were devoured by tentacles with open, moist eyes.

"Even the laws are tainted with unusable filth, and even contain a trace of pollution that can erode even the consciousness of the highest level. Only the Central Earth Element remains relatively pure, allowing for comprehension. Where does such a strong sense of ominousness and eeriness come from?"

After a few breaths, with the support of wisps of power from beyond the heavens, the stone man's continuously declining aura gradually stabilized and began to rise again, eventually forming a fifth-grade divine talisman with a subtle aura of stars. This talisman formed an illusory cosmic cycle, almost self-contained, isolating itself from the terrible filth inherent in the "Dao" and "Dharma" of the outside world.

With a slight concentration, the stone man waved his hand, sending a wisp of starlight towards the many hideous, fleshy trees that were unaware of his presence.

"Boom!"

The earth suddenly sank, and boundless pressure erupted from the central earth element, directly tearing apart the land within sight. All the ominous signs that could be sensed and all the strange things that could be seen were crushed into dust. Even all the great Daos and laws were forced to fade away under the grand earth element concept, and a pure "pure land" was born out of thin air, which was entirely derived from the "central earth element".

However, certain ominous substances slowly coalesced into a ball, transforming into a drop of dark blood-red liquid, which materialized within the stone man's perception.

In an instant, a peculiar impulse surged from the stone man into the depths of the mind of the supreme deity beyond the heavens.

The supreme deity's expression completely lost control. He stared intently at the drop of dark blood-red liquid suspended above the "pure land," and murmured, "I can feel that as long as I swallow it, my cultivation, which has been able to improve almost solely through the arrival of chaotic tides for many years, will undergo a fundamental transformation."

"I can feel that as long as I swallow it, I will be able to tear apart the 'Ordination Method' cultivation system in my body, become an unparalleled Dao Ancestor who opens up a new path, and become a newly promoted great god in the pantheon."

"I can sense that if I swallow enough, I could even become the first supreme being in the pantheon, besides the Yellow Emperor in the center, to achieve eternal existence."

"This seems to be an unparalleled opportunity born from the chaotic tides."

The supreme deity standing beyond the heavens silently slid towards the unknown, but just as it was about to become irreversibly distorted, the spiritual light he had accumulated in the past, contained within the divine talisman, erupted and transformed into a sword beam pointing directly at the true spirit. It pierced through the divine body, illuminated the divine soul, and penetrated the consciousness, striving to slash at everything that was not "me".

A painful roar rose beside the soul of this supreme deity, manifesting a strange soul filled with ominousness, similar to others but possessing a different consciousness.

This subordinate deity of the Central Yellow Emperor was stunned.

He hadn't noticed a thing when such a strange and ominous divine soul, which belonged to the supreme realm, appeared!
Without hesitation, he quickly wielded the sword light formed from the light of his mind, striking down at the strange soul, annihilating its lost concept and meaning, turning this eerie omen into a dreamlike illusion.
