A journey of survival starting from Zhetian

Chapter 634 Research on the Strange and Ominous

As this deity sighed, a splendid and profound divine power of faith, guided by the supreme light flowing through divine talismans, crossed the chaotic "ocean" and descended.

The subordinate deity stared blankly at the person dressed in the robes of an emperor, "Great God of the Heavenly Boat, how come it's you, the emperor, who has come?"

He sent a message back to the Central Divine Realm, mentioning that the strange and ominous information wasn't actually a high priority. If even he, a subordinate god, was confident he could resolve something after revealing his trump cards, how serious could it possibly be?
After the "ordination method" of the Yellow Emperor, based on the belief in the divine system, spread widely in the central divine realm, most of the long-standing divine kings who had lost faith and opened their own paths basically completed their transformation and cultivation. They burned their vast faith power, comprehended the "Tao" and "Dharma" of the central Yellow Emperor, and ascended the path to attain the Dao fruit of an ordinary emperor, becoming an ordinary subordinate god of the central Yellow Emperor.

To this day, the number of supreme deities in the Central Divine Realm who ascended through faith is less than ten thousand, perhaps seven or eight thousand, and he was naturally one of them, an insignificant one at that. As for great gods like the Heavenly Boat Emperor, who opened their own path and could easily defeat them, there are only about fifty of them to date.

In terms of both combat strength and the potential to become the next "Central Yellow Emperor," the two sides are vastly different in status.

After the information was sent back to the Central Divine Realm, he thought that a certain subordinate god who had also ascended the path would arrive to lend a hand.

Who knew that the one who came was a great god whose combat power was second only to the "Central Yellow Emperor"?

The subordinate deity shook his head slightly, not giving it much thought.

He pointed to the remaining murky, twisted spiritual consciousness, which was "frozen" by the supreme power, and said with a solemn expression, "Great God Tianzhou, things have changed. This strange and ominous thing is even more troublesome than the description in the information I sent back. It is constantly emitting some kind of evil pollution. Cultivation systems outside of the 'Ordination Method' may find it difficult to withstand it."

Wearing the divine robes of an emperor, Tianzhou, whose aura was extremely powerful, slowly nodded.

He gazed at the distorted spiritual consciousness in a "frozen" state and said softly, "Anything that can get His Majesty the Yellow Emperor to personally intervene must be extraordinary and must contain a great secret."

The deity paused, realizing that the Yellow Emperor had personally intervened.
He couldn't feel anything, only that his memories had been disturbed.

Tianzhou looked at the changing expression on the subordinate god's face and said calmly, "If you can sense that His Majesty the Yellow Emperor has made a move, then he has already established his own system and become a newly promoted Supreme Dao Ancestor."

Looking at the stars around him, which were gradually crumbling in the chaos, he continued, "I beg His Majesty the Yellow Emperor to bestow divine power. The natural spread of divine power with the order of 'earth' will cause the chaos to recede, but to open up such a vast star system in the ocean of chaos, divine power alone is not enough without knowing how to use it."

The subordinate deity suddenly realized why this great god had come in person. It turned out that the Yellow Emperor had made his move at some unknown time, thus alerting the great god.

But before he could continue to ponder, Tianzhou continued, "Of course, besides His Majesty the Yellow Emperor's intervention, there are also these strange and ominous reasons."

With a gentle wave of his hand, Emperor Tianzhou imprinted a mark resembling a navigation compass onto the "frozen" and distorted spiritual consciousness, causing it to fall into a state of "lost navigation," completely losing its ability to think and judge, and entering an eternal slumber.

He sighed softly, “Since we can freely roam this chaotic ocean, you must be well aware that my Central Divine Realm is not the only place in this unknown ‘ocean’ that possesses a cultivation system for attaining the supreme realm.”

The deity said with a hint of pride, "Of course, in this chaotic ocean, my realm is indeed not the only one with a cultivation system for advancing to the supreme realm. But my realm is the only one guarded by an eternal being, a realm that will not suddenly collapse and dissipate with the passage of time."

Tianzhou's expression was slightly heavy. "Now, the Central Divine Realm from which we originated is no longer the only world that will not suddenly collapse and dissipate with the passage of time."

The deity's expression changed drastically. "A new supreme being has been born?! But I have never sensed any eternity above the chaos, which is full of random changes, apart from the 'Central Earth Element'!"

Tianzhou remained silent, only pointing to the distorted spiritual consciousness that had been "frozen" by the Yellow Emperor's divine power.

The meaning is quite obvious.

The god's expression was instantly filled with shock. He had never imagined that such a strange and ominous thing was also a kind of eternity, a diffusion of an unknown power at a supreme level.

No, he should have thought of that much earlier.

Influenced by the supreme divine soul that had unknowingly been conceived within his body, he saw that drop of turbid and filthy blood for the first time. Yet, he had a peculiar realization that swallowing it would allow him to create his own cultivation system, independent of the "ordination method."

If we work backwards in this way, then perhaps this strange and ominous situation is actually a hidden mystery of a higher level, which is normal and seems to conform to the common sense of cultivation!

Could it be that many of these strange and ominous eternal phenomena have appeared? So many that even the great gods who opened the way must take them seriously?

Otherwise, it wouldn't be worth such attention from a great god who could easily defeat an ordinary supreme Dao Ancestor.

Tianzhou looked at the subordinate god who already had a vague idea and gave an affirmative answer, "Your location may be the first one to be discovered as strange and ominous. After you sent a message back to the Central Divine Realm, nearly a thousand supreme gods sent back messages describing strange and ominous things to the Central Divine Realm."

The divine being fell silent, yet he also understood the true extent of the problems caused by these strange and ominous things.

Nearly a thousand supreme deities have successively discovered this strange and ominous phenomenon, which represents one-tenth of the high-level combat power of the Central Divine Realm.

Such a large-scale anomaly, such a dangerous and extremely troublesome and ominous situation, must mean that hundreds of supreme deities in the chaotic ocean have successively requested the power of the "Central Yellow Emperor" to unleash their vast divine power.

More importantly, there were those anomalies that went unnoticed in the chaotic ocean, and those eerie ominous signs that went unnoticed by the many supreme deities.

At this moment, Tianzhou said with a slightly uneasy expression, "We, the deities who have received the 'Ordination Method,' all possess spiritual power and have more or less comprehended the techniques of attacking consciousness and even attacking true spirits. We have a strong resistance to this strange and ominous bewitching."

After a pause, Tianzhou sighed, "But... the other bubble worlds that have produced Supreme Dao Ancestors don't focus on cultivating their minds. In fact, most of them don't care about cultivating their minds at all, nor do they have the time to care. Without the protection of eternal power and rules, merely 'existing' in this world means constantly facing the risk of dissipating at any moment." "Since none of these bubble worlds have produced a being like His Majesty the Yellow Emperor, who could protect all the beings in the Central Divine Realm, no being can remain at a certain realm to make up for the lack of spiritual cultivation. Unable to resist temptation, they actively devour strange and ominous things, causing indescribable mutations, leading to the distortion of the laws of heaven and earth, thus becoming 'eternal'."

"It can be said that it is a matter of course."

The meaning behind this made this subordinate god feel uneasy.

After a moment of silence, the subordinate deity, unsettled, looked at Tianzhou and asked, "Great God Tianzhou, may I ask His Majesty the Yellow Emperor's attitude towards these strange and ominous signs?"

Tianzhou smiled and shook his head. "In the end, these are just the spread of supreme power. They are not enough to make His Majesty the Yellow Emperor leave the sacred mountain, nor are they enough to make Him make a statement."

The next moment, Tianzhou spoke in a chilling voice, “But in general, these strange and ominous things are hidden dangers in our realm. We need to study them carefully and eliminate those Supreme Dao Ancestors who have lost their minds.”

Tianzhou picked up the distorted spiritual consciousness that had completely "lost its way" and looked at this subordinate god, saying, "Your journey in the Chaotic Ocean must end sooner rather than later. You need to return to the Central Divine Realm as soon as possible."

"Representatives from all the major pantheons have been sent to study this thing. If necessary, we will need to launch a massive interdimensional war."

With a gentle flick of his sleeve, the celestial vessel transformed the stars in the cosmos that had not yet completely collapsed into a luminous vessel radiating stardust, carrying him and this subordinate god through this chaotic ocean, rapidly returning to the central divine realm.
-
The Central Divine Realm, with its subordinate Lesser Realms.

Hundreds of supreme deities have gathered here, their solemn gazes fixed on an indescribable being bound by three thousand supreme divine chains.

Emperor Zhonghao pulled out gears from the void and gently pressed them into the completely distorted body, injecting powerful mechanical order in an attempt to restore a trace of consciousness to this being who was originally the supreme Dao Ancestor.

However, no matter how many orderly gears fall and merge into this indescribable body, the thoroughly distorted flesh and blood only rapidly pollute these orders, turning the supreme laws contained within into nutrients for its own growth, roaring out extremely violent but meaningless words, and overflowing with wisps of terrifying filth.

"Bang bang."

One after another, the supreme divine chains vibrated, and the supreme divine laws linked together to form a net of annihilation, guiding out terrifying supreme divine power to "freeze" this indescribable thing again, solidify its gradually deepening consciousness, and seal all "Dao" and "Dharma".

Emperor Zhonghao took a few steps back and sighed slowly, "Everyone, I have failed. Even the most ordered power in the machinery cannot correct the distorted consciousness and Dao fruit."

One after another, the supreme deities were in an uproar.

"Emperor Zhong Hao also failed. He was an ancient god who had cultivated the 'Ordination Method' to the Emperor level, but still maintained his own past cultivation system and possessed two Dao Fruits!"

"Among the forty-eight supreme Dao Ancestors of our realm, the law created by Emperor Zhong Hao possesses the strongest order, far surpassing even the Heavenly Boat Emperor, who is the strongest in combat power. How could this strange and ominous thing be so powerful?!"

"That's true. Otherwise, why would such a sudden and ominous appearance have drawn the attention of His Majesty the Yellow Emperor, and also alarmed Emperor Tianzhou, causing him to stop his meditation and leave the Central Divine Realm?"

"Even if we switch to the 'Ordination Method' and undergo a qualitative change in our cultivation of our will, self, and true spirit, and are able to instinctively destroy anything that is not 'me,' it seems that such strange and ominous things cannot be used for the time being, at least not refined, to enhance our own cultivation."

"."

Amidst the uproar of discussions, numerous supreme deities inscribed their research on this eerie and ominous phenomenon into the Heavenly Law Network, entrusting it to the various supreme deities outside this realm for integration, deduction, and prophecy.

At this moment, a girl draped in a white feather robe took out a drop of potion that emitted dazzling starlight, walked up to the sealed, indescribable being, and poured it into the chaotic spirit body that even made many supreme Dao Ancestors frown.

In an instant, dazzling rays of light burst forth from within the chaotic and distorted spirit, tearing apart fragments of spirituality and then attempting to reassemble them according to some kind of pattern.

In the end, wisps of light, tainted with filth, were expelled from the spiritual essence of life into the flesh and blood, leaving only a single wisp of spiritual light, still displaying its remaining colors, which floated out from the indescribable flesh and blood body and coalesced into a hazy Dao figure.

The girl, draped in a white haori, exclaimed with delight, "My potion seems to have successfully and temporarily separated a portion of normal spirituality!"

She quickly looked at the Supreme Dao Ancestor who was holding an oil paintbrush not far away and looked like a painter, "Quickly, seal this part of my spirituality into your oil painting!"

Upon seeing this, the painter with the oil brush immediately took out a piece of drawing paper, sealed the hazy Dao figure a second time, and copied the appearance of this corrupted Dao Ancestor from the non-central divine realm, combining its spirit and form.

However, after completing all these operations, the Supreme Dao Ancestor, who resembled a painter, looked at the oil painting in his hand, which was gradually exuding an ominous aura, and his expression suddenly changed slightly.

The supreme Dao Ancestor hurriedly tossed the oil painting in his hand toward the old man standing far away, dressed like a carpenter. "Senior, please, please frame this painting and seal it three times to sever those connections that I cannot access!"

Before the painting had moved far, dozens of pieces of wood appeared out of thin air, encasing it and transforming it into an ordinary, lifeless object.

The girl draped in a white haori waved her hand, imprisoning the seemingly mortal object on the other side. Together with the hundreds of supreme deities who were prepared, she laid down forty-nine different seals to sever the unknown connection.

The priestess holding the astrological crystal ball slowly emerged from the void. She looked at the contents manifested by various divination, calculation, and prophecy methods, and nodded slightly. "That's enough. Those strange and ominous unknown connections that we can hardly see have been sealed to a limit. Everyone can try to obtain more information now."
