Infinity, starting from eternity

Chapter 558 The First Arrival of the Holy King, an Empty Tomb! The Path of the Ancestral God!

"The Great World of the Holy King!"

Enveloped in the light of the Supreme God, Li Ping'an plunged headlong into that magnificent, dazzling golden world, which seemed to be countless times larger than the Eternal World.

A tomb! A huge tomb!

The tomb was empty, devoid of ignorance, intention, birth, death, and purity!

The scene he caught glimpsed shocked Li Ping'an. What was buried in that unclaimed tomb?

Fate? Or a higher dimension?

At the source of the Great Tomb, before the realm of gods, before the ancient chaos, was there another civilization that touched the void?

No one could tell Li Ping'an.

The tomb seems to exist eternally, burying everything.

If the Void of Fate is the most supreme thing since the birth of the God Realm, then the Great Tomb is something that transcends the God Realm, something that no one can see through, no one knows its origin, and no one knows what it really is!
An unclaimed tomb, an empty tomb, a tomb of nothingness!

The great tomb revealed the true meaning of 'nothingness', allowing Li Ping'an to see the way forward, the end of the Way of Nothingness, and the essence of nothingness.

This is a path that is the complete opposite of 'immortality,' yet leads to the same goal.

They complement each other, like the two sides of the Great Way. Li Ping'an, who touched this realm, was deeply moved. He felt as if he were a prisoner of the world who had seen true light and freedom.

But the next moment, a feeling of petrification erupted from the depths of his mind.

"not good!"

Li Ping'an's expression changed drastically. As his enlightenment rose, a sense of stiffness came from the deepest part of his mind, spirit, and will. His supreme will and his body, which had reached the Great Perfection of Divine Image, began to petrify inch by inch, about to become a rigid tombstone.

Even the master of the great tomb cannot lightly explore its true nature.

The Overlord's madness is inextricably linked to the Great Tomb. The God Realm's scheming was merely a matter of taking advantage of the situation to lead him to contact the Great Tomb, and then causing him to go mad.

Without shedding blood, the strongest force in the ancient divine realm, Heaven, vanished into thin air.

The terror of the great tomb was unimaginable, and Li Ping'an was completely unable to resist it. His rigid thinking caused his connection with his original self to become intermittent.

"The final resting place of all living beings is the great tomb!"

"But the gate to eternal life is there, not within it! There is eternal life, and all is severed!"

Separated by countless different worlds and traversing countless void oceans, Li Ping'an's true form left a mark, the Lesser Destiny Technique evolved to its extreme, and the power of the Greater Destiny Technique descended upon the Supreme Avatar from afar.

"broken!"

He uttered a single word, and the petrified areas shattered, the image of the tomb being severed.

Li Ping'an finally felt at ease and looked around. Before him was an endless, chaotic scene, a primitive landscape.

"No, God, where did you teleport me to?!"

Seeing this scene, his expression stiffened.

I almost got killed by the Great Tomb at first sight. Is the main god really that unreliable? If it were anyone else, they would definitely have died without a burial place, becoming a stone statue or tombstone, sinking into the outer perimeter of the Great Tomb.

That's bad enough, but now they've just left him there, and we can't find him anywhere.

It was neither the human world, nor hell, nor the immortal realm, nor the ancient road to the gods, nor the divine realm, but rather the chaos itself—something Li Ping'an truly hadn't anticipated.

"God, I urge you to be a human being!"

Li Ping'an snorted coldly. Before coming here, he had thought about where he would end up, but he never imagined being thrown into a chaotic mess.

Perhaps it's because his strength has gradually broken free from the protection of the main god space. He's already a fifteen-star reincarnation overlord, just one step away from looking down on all the heavens and approaching the realm of a great power or a giant. The main god simply doesn't want to care about this group of people anymore.

Boom boom boom!
This chaos is not peaceful. Li Ping'an's expression is serious. Just by standing on the edge, he can see some indescribable ancient chaotic beasts. The beating of their hearts reminds him of the immortal king, an undisputed supreme being.

Each heartbeat felt like a great road being opened up, seemingly giving birth to something magnificent.

A dim world, dangers everywhere, and energy so violent it's almost impossible to absorb or refine.

Li Ping'an suddenly understood.

This is the ancient chaos, the soil before the creation of the divine realm!
In the beginning, there was no light in the heavens and the earth.

Before all things were born, only those ancient chaotic beasts, primordial beings, and the souls of ancestral gods existed.

Until a certain moment, a massive explosion occurred, shattering the ancient chaotic realm and giving birth to the realm of gods.

"Could it be that I have traveled to a time before the creation of the divine realm?"

Li Ping'an immediately dismissed the idea.

In the chaos, there is nothing, no laws, no acquired energy or primordial energy, only the violent ancient chaotic origin and the manifestation of its own will!
The power of the will of God seems to be able to be pushed to its limit here, separating chaos, creating life, and creating the world, almost an omnipotent force.

Avoiding the restless sounds and inexplicable dangers in the chaos, Li Ping'an gazed into the distance.

His will to reach the highest level allowed him to dispel the fog and glimpse a golden sun.

It wasn't that he possessed extraordinary supernatural powers or a strong will, allowing him to see through the depths of the ancient chaotic realm.

It was simply that the golden sun was too dazzling, its presence overwhelming, stinging the eyes. It could be seen from anywhere in the ancient chaotic world, a truly supreme world!

That world was so high above, like a tireless beast, recklessly devouring the ancient chaotic realm. Every moment, the chaos seemed to shrink by a fraction, and this process seemed endless.

Those ancient chaotic beasts that Li Ping'an feared dared not approach that world at all. If they got even a little closer, they would melt on the spot, turning into a ball of chaotic energy and being completely devoured, leaving not even a bone fragment.

The ancient chaotic beasts are a thing of the past, insignificant in the face of this world. Even the ancient chaotic realm is no different; it is very likely that one day in the future it will completely disappear and never be seen again.

"The realm of gods!" Li Ping'an took a deep breath and immediately realized what the golden sun represented.

He is so perfect and flawless, as if he has gathered all the beauty and wishes in the world; he is the ultimate world!
It can also be called the real world. Compared to the realm of gods, all the worlds and universes are nothing but a dream.

This applies not only to the Holy King Great World, but also to the worlds of immortality, the trilogy, and the Chaos Origin Space!
"There must be other worlds, the mortal realm!" Li Ping'an forced his gaze away. The divine realm was a gathering of all things beautiful, and even he found it hard to resist. A longing unconsciously rose in his heart.

This made him wary; the realm of gods was a huge pitfall.

It should be noted that the Supreme Ruler, the True Demon, the Immortal Slayer King, the Evil God, and so on all fell to the God Realm Origin. It can be said that the God Realm Origin is the most powerful and terrifying monster in the Holy King Realm.

Besides the realm of gods, there was another world floating in the chaos, the size of a goose egg. Compared to the realm of gods, it seemed so insignificant, like dust, yet it exuded an ancient aura.

Although insignificant, this tiny mortal realm is not afraid of the divine realm, possessing its own mortal will that is not controlled by the divine realm. "So that's how it is. The reason for being teleported to the Ancient Chaos Realm is because we couldn't enter."

Looking at these two worlds, Li Ping'an's brain kept calculating and digesting the Lord of Time and mastering the supreme high-tech civilization behind it. Now his wisdom and calculation ability have been greatly enhanced, and he understands everything almost instantly, including why he fell into chaos.

"I am both too powerful and too weak!"

"Compared to the mortal realm, a world where even late-stage terrifying levels don't exist, my power is terrifying. Entering it would instantly destroy the mortal universe!"

"But I am too weak compared to the realm of gods!"

Li Ping'an smiled helplessly. Even in the world of the Three Thousand Level Immortal Realm, where the Immortal Emperor was suppressed to the point of being like a mortal, it could not withstand his existence. Moreover, it was still unknown whether the Great Tomb had even been revealed yet.

A mid-stage terrifying will is an unimaginable existence in the mortal realm. It can instantly refine a three-thousand-level immortal realm, let alone a supreme-level will comparable to the will of a perfect god or a great perfect god in the divine realm.

Once he descends to the mortal realm, everything except the section of the ancient road to the divine realm suppressed by the great tomb will be destroyed due to fluctuations in his will.

The mortal realm before the emergence of the Three Thousand Immortal Realms was even more so, with the highest being only the Thirty-Three Immortal Realms. Even the Immortal Emperor was already a monument that was difficult for mortals to surpass, and was hailed as the closest being to a god.

This was undoubtedly far beyond the limits of what the mortal realm allowed, making it very difficult for him to enter.

Forcing his way in is impossible. Although the mortal realm is weak, the karma is too great. It could backfire and kill him, and he might even suffer the same fate as the Brahma God, being torn apart by five horses and left to be studied and manipulated by a group of mortals.

However, even though Li Ping'an possesses a supreme will, he has not yet condensed a godhood in the realm of gods. He is not even a god and is pitifully weak.

It is precisely because of this mediocre strength that he is now stuck in the ancient chaos, caught between the two realms, in an awkward position.

Outsiders are not allowed to enter the realm of gods. Those who ascend from the lower realms are only there out of necessity. In fact, from the perspective of the origin of the divine realm, they are parasites who steal the power of the divine realm, and the divine realm instinctively rejects them.

The severing of the ancient road connecting the lower realm to the divine realm was intentionally done by the origin of the divine realm. It just so happened that the location of the great tomb had been moved, and He used it to block the entrance.

And this is still considered to be the case that the two realms are of the same origin and both come from the ancient chaotic realm, which the God Realm reluctantly accepted.

Li Ping'an's identity is even more awkward. He is a complete outsider. Although the Supreme Incarnation is nominally cultivating a set of qigong, he lacks causal connections and seems out of place in this world.

Ordinary people's qigong originates from the ancient chaos, then transforms into the divine realm or the mortal realm, and is then absorbed by practitioners. Practitioners are born with a debt of karma to the world and are also protected by the world, which allows them to live freely.

He, however, did not receive such treatment. Getting close to him would be the least of his worries; he might even be targeted by the source itself and his body would be completely destroyed.

"I'm afraid even the gods don't know what to do. They threw me into chaos and told me to figure out how to complete the task myself."

Li Ping'an shook his head. The main god certainly had the ability to send him to the God Realm, but the problem was the main quest: choose one of the three—the Execution King's Decree, the Mark of the Gods, or the Great Tomb Inheritance—and refine the inheritance. All of these things were in the mortal realm.

Ascending from the mortal realm to the divine realm via the ancient path to godhood is extremely difficult, but there is still a sliver of hope.

Conversely, it is almost impossible for a god to descend to the mortal realm; even the supreme god cannot do it.

As for the Crown Prince, Yun Hailan, and Aotian, they were able to appear in the lower realm due to various anomalies, and cannot be judged by ordinary standards.

"It seems I need to think of a better way to enter the mortal realm."

Li Ping'an arrived before the world, which was the size of a goose egg. Countless crystal walls were layered upon each other, making it difficult to see the inside.

There exists a force in the mortal realm that blurs destiny, alters cause and effect, and obscures all perception.

Countless causes and effects converge; the mortal realm may be insignificant, but the meaning it carries is by no means simple.

Li Ping'an sat upright before the mortal, and the size of a goose egg was not an exaggeration, but rather an adjective used by the supreme will.

The Supreme Will is supreme and unparalleled. Its structure is nearly perfect, and every action it takes has an absolute concept. It governs time, space, destiny, and so on. All living beings must revolve around the Supreme Will.

This is the true intention of the Supreme Being. There are too many supreme wills in the God Realm, and even more terrifying infinite wills that interfere with each other. Instead, none of them are as free and powerful as he is now, existing alone in the chaos.

Li Ping'an, like a supreme being, looked down upon the mortal realm and the surrounding thin chaos known as scraps of ancient chaos.

Indeed, they were pitifully weak, Li Ping'an shook his head.

Although weak, this place is a pure land in the ancient chaos. The mortal realm and the divine realm are closely adjacent, and there is a great tomb inside to suppress it. Those ancient chaotic beasts would never dare to invade.

Li Ping'an could annihilate Heavenly Monarchs below ten eras with his supreme will alone, and even the high-ranking gods of the God Realm would be no match for him.

However, he also had to be wary of the ancient chaotic beasts. Different worlds give birth to different beings, and the ancient chaos was too dangerous. The ancient chaotic beasts that it gave birth to could be described as chaotic demon gods.

"The Mark of the Gods!"

"Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Power! Holy, Vast, Perfect, and All-Rounding Mantra!"

"The Three Thousand Great Daos! Minor Destiny Technique!"

"Gate of Infinity! Primal Power!"

"...The Gate to Immortality! The Malignant Aura!"

Sitting outside the mortal realm, Li Ping'an used various methods to shatter chaos and refine primordial energy.

His eyes gleamed with sharp light.

"Given the current situation, it's not realistic for me to enter the mortal realm in my true form, but this Ancient Chaos Realm is more than enough to satisfy my daily cultivation needs. I can make rapid progress here! It far surpasses the Heavenly Realm, and even the Upper Realm!"

He wanted to enter the mortal realm, but it wasn't so easy. Both the mortal realm and the divine realm rejected him, so Li Ping'an could only turn to cultivation to maintain his survival.

The ancient chaotic realm, as the soil of the divine realm and the source of the Holy King's Great World, provided him with more than enough resources for cultivation.

This method of refining chaos felt familiar to Li Ping'an. His spiritual treasure avatar digested the power of the endless primordial space in the same way, but he still needed the source world as a medium.

At this moment, the Supreme Incarnation has reached another level, using pure will to shatter chaos and extract primordial energy.

This is a unique skill he comprehended after watching the process of the God Realm devouring the ancient chaos in the Great Tomb. He regarded himself as a world, his own origin, becoming a third world outside the God Realm and the mortal world, devouring the power of the ancient chaos.

Perhaps compared to the God Realm, Li Ping'an's strength is insignificant, but at this moment they are on the same level!

This is a level that surpasses countless supreme gods and chief gods.

"I seem to have figured out another path: condensing a divine spark is not something that must be done."

Li Ping'an uttered a leisurely voice, "Even without a godhood, I can continue to grow stronger, devouring the ancient chaotic origin, and growing stronger without end!"

"This is the Way of the Ancestral God! The Way of the Primordial Ancestor! The Way of the Origin of All Gods!"

Legend has it that the earliest and most ancient primordial gods were like this.

At that time, the realm of gods had not yet been born. Their existence was later referred to as the soul of the ancestral gods, the beginning of the gods. They had no divine status, but with their own divine soul and will, they could shatter everything, create heaven and earth, and create all living beings.
