Sweeping both worlds: Starting from idealistic martial arts

Chapter 536 A Star Becomes a Spirit! Memory Shines Brightly! (Two chapters combined, 6000 words)
Beast Battle Continent, the Realm of Light!
A blazing star, eternally radiating endless light and heat, hangs high in the boundless sky.

In the Beginning

This is the honorific name that a star gives to itself.

It is born noble and should be superior to all other races.

As a spirit born from the stars, its power is magnificent and boundless, shaking heaven and earth.

quality!

That is what he is so proud of!
As we all know, the greater the mass, the greater the power!
An ant, no matter how hard it tries, can't beat a whale's casual flick of its tail.

The tiny bacteria, limited by its minuscule size, cannot even surpass the casual punch of an ordinary person with its full power.

In contrast, there are the various creatures and artifacts that are born on planets.

In the beginning, a vast chasm separated it from other life forms.

At the moment consciousness was born, it was only at the first stage of cultivation.

By relying on the energy and gravitational field contained within the vast celestial body itself, one can already rival a human powerhouse at the seventh level.

With a body that has undergone only one transformation, he has traversed six realms of chasm and is now on par with those who have undergone seven transformations.

This is the pride of the Primordial Era, for it is the strongest race on this Beast Fighting Continent.

In theory, only those conceptual, much larger physical races exist.

Only when something like a black hole, a galaxy, or even the universe itself is transformed into something extraordinary can it surpass it.

Unfortunately, apart from humans, the probability of other non-human creatures becoming sentient is too low.

Therefore, he has never seen a race of the scale of galaxies and universes over the years.

As for the so-called black hole becoming sentient?

But nothing but withered bones in a tomb!
In this Beast Fighting Continent, black holes are limited by their own shape, and their cultivation level cannot even reach the eighth level.

Because its power was almost invincible, it even faintly touched the limit that the continent could contain.

Tai Chu had long since given up on active cultivation and even deliberately weakened himself to avoid attracting unpredictable calamities.

It slumbers deep within the realm of light, like an ancient, enduring lighthouse.

However, this silence has been completely shattered today!

Rumbling--

The void trembles!

Countless enormous star cats, their size beyond measure, gallop freely across this seemingly boundless and ever-expanding Beast Fighting Continent!

Their power had barely reached the threshold of the eighth level.

Each leap, each sprint, can easily traverse the terrifying distance of "immeasurable" (10^60) trillion light-years.

Even at such incredible speed, the area they swept across was but a drop in the ocean compared to the desperately expanding rate of the Beast Fighting Continent itself.

"Is there a star here, meow?"

A giant cat, its entire body shimmering with a ghostly blue starlight, suddenly whipped its tail, abruptly stopping in mid-air and creating invisible ripples in space.

Its cat-like eyes, like those of a galaxy, curiously locked onto a blazing star about ten light-years in diameter in front of it, tirelessly spewing out light and heat.

The Beast Battle Continent can regulate day and night on its own, so it has no need for starlight.

The existence of a star here clearly indicates only one possibility: it must be a powerful entity.

The giant cat named Miao Xiaoji tilted its head, its fluffy nebula tail swaying gently.

During its rapid journey, it encountered quantum mechanics, quarks, atoms, and information life.

But unexpectedly, the stars recorded in textbooks could actually give rise to life.

"Hey, you're still alive, meow?"

Miao Xiaoji said curiously, stretching out her giant paw covered in stardust.

Like gently poking at a marble, I lightly poked at the tiny star, ten light-years in size, in front of me.

Gululu~
With this seemingly casual movement, the burning star tumbled through the void, rolling a distance of millions of light-years!
The scorching corona matter churned and whipped out long tails of light.

'Funny cat! So funny!'

Miao Xiaoji's cat eyes lit up instantly, and the starlight on its paws intensified, as it eagerly prepared for another round.

But its ruthless actions directly awakened the primordial will that had been dormant for so long.

Om-!
Without eyes in the biological sense, primordial perception spread like mercury across the earth, covering the universe with the power of the mind.

The moment of awakening, the boundless and unparalleled power of telepathy burst forth from the core of the star like billions of invisible tentacles, spreading out in all directions in an instant with a speed exceeding that of light!
"An eighth-tier...cat?"

The primordial mind analyzed the changes in light, gravity, and magnetic fields around it and came to this conclusion.

But this conclusion was soon completely overturned, because as his mind expanded outwards without end, he saw a vast number of cats scattered across the world.

These giant star cats were either chasing and playing with fragments of stars, or curiously "studying" other weaker races, or lazily rolling around, using the star field as a blanket...

"So many cats at the eighth rank, what happened during the years I was in slumber?"

Taichu observed the cats playing among different species with astonishment.

A cursory glance revealed approximately 10^55 atoms, which is 10^20 times more than the number of atoms in a star.

The most terrifying thing is that these are all level 8, which means that they have the means to mass-produce level 8 items.

Looking at the bewildered eight-turn cat in front of him, after a brief moment of stunned silence, the vast expanse of Tai Chu's mind transformed into an arm and grabbed the cat.

'Where did this outsider come from, so obsessed with the Eightfold Path of the Mind and so unruly, disrupting the order of the Beast Fighting Continent...' Tai Chu felt intense dissatisfaction rising in his heart.

Having lived for countless billions of years, he has witnessed countless events.

In the past, there have been quite a few martial arts practitioners of the eighth level who were incorporated into this world.

Therefore, Taichu was very clear that this kind of behavior of sparing no resources and frantically producing troops was dangerous.

Only those who are extravagant and generous with resources, whose power is limitless as long as their hearts remain steadfast, can accomplish such a feat.

After all, other systems need spiritual energy, magic power, mana, true essence, and the absorption of all kinds of rare and precious materials before they can reach infinity, so they can't be this extravagant.

Let alone infinity, even after infinity, many systems are unable to mass produce troops due to distorted development, and may even be ambushed and killed by ordinary people.

'No, we can't let that Idealistic Eightfold Path continue to run rampant.' Tai Chu thought to himself, 'This is bad.'

If this chaos continues, disrupting the balance of all races, it may very well lead to the intervention of the Creator God, who will then cleanse the world.

They were determined to resolve the matter before the Creator God could cast his gaze upon them.

As Miao Xiaoji was scratching away with great enthusiasm, it suddenly felt a terrifying pressure descend upon it, making its soul tremble!
It watched in horror as the glass sphere, ten light-years in size, began to expand wildly!

No longer concealing its power, Tai Chu's power began to surge, and its dazzling light illuminated the void within a radius of several light-years.

What a dazzling light!

In countless dream civilizations, stars are inherently equivalent to light itself.

The absolute light directly caused all races within a certain range of Ge Liheng to lose their ability to see, leaving them with only a bright daylight in their eyes.

Tai Chu wanted to attract the attention of that idealistic person by being a conspicuous bag, and lead him to his side.

At this moment, the extreme light had an incredibly wide influence, far beyond what these cats, who had been chanting the "Kimi Genesis Sutra" for three days, could possibly cause.

The blinding light dazzled the entire cat world, causing countless cats to scream in terror and chant the name of the god Hagichan.

"Meow—! My eyes! I can't see!"

"Great God Hagichan! Save your people, meow!"

"Which bastard is using their high beams recklessly, meow?! They have no sportsmanship, meow!"

……

So how did Hagichan react to such dazzling light?

The answer is—no reaction whatsoever!
Because as early as the very beginning of the Myriad Races Tournament, the moment the Boundary Heaven opened, Fang Can vanished from the Cat Realm.

With just a casual step, he traversed a distance exceeding the distance of Graham's number x Graham's number x Graham's number... Graham's number of light-years.

Therefore, the area illuminated by the primordial star was far too far from Fang Can.

So distant that even if the Primordial Era exhausted all its stellar lifespan, burning itself out in pursuit, it would be utterly impossible to traverse even a fraction of the distance Fang Can reached in that single step.
As for the energy bursts at the level of Graham?
On this vast and boundless continent of beast fighting, where powerful beings are as numerous as the sands of the Ganges.

At the same time, similar or even stronger energy fluctuations occur one after another, just like the cosmic microwave background radiation.

In that instant, countless creatures of this level were fighting each other.

At this very moment, in a faraway place, Fang Can was staring with great curiosity at a [Konjac Jelly] of the Ge Liheng level.

"Interesting. It can develop self-awareness even though it has no physical life signs of flesh and blood."

Fang Can stroked his chin, his eyes sparkling with pure curiosity.

As expected of a martial art based on idealism, it simply doesn't follow any logic.

Previously, because he lived in the cat world, Fang Can didn't have the habit of eating cats, so he didn't do much research on it.

But now that the restrictions are lifted, he can directly identify all kinds of wild animals across the ever-expanding Beast Fighting Continent.

No scientific theory can support the idea that a well-marinated konjac snack could develop consciousness and cultivate to the eighth level, but it happened nonetheless.

and……

Fang Can's attention was drawn to the enticing color, aroma, and taste.

He stretched out his long, slender fingers and gently traced a line across the enormous konjac nebula.

scoff!

A small piece of scrap material, shimmering with an oily sheen and with bouncy edges, was precisely torn off and floated in his palm.

With the idea of ​​experimentation in mind, and under the horrified and distorted gaze of the konjac dessert itself, Fang Can put the konjac dessert fragment containing eight-turn energy into his mouth.

"Well--!!!"

Fang Can's eyes suddenly lit up with surprise!
"tasty!!!"

The texture of the Eight-Turned Konjac Jelly is simply beyond imagination!
The material, which is so tough that it is absolutely impossible for ordinary creatures to chew, is perfectly tender and smooth in Fang Can's mouth!
And...this material...

Fang Can looked at the konjac dessert.

As we all know, the main ingredients of konjac noodles are konjac flour and starch, but these ordinary ingredients, after being upgraded to the eighth stage, acquire extraordinary characteristics. While maintaining their original softness, elasticity, and color, the eighth-stage konjac noodles have greatly improved in terms of texture and taste.

In the distance he took, Fang Can witnessed countless races, but he also discovered something very strange.

On this continent of beast fighting, there is no living being whose power can reach more than 10 times the limit of Grievance's number.

In other words, the maximum power of all these races is limited to ten times Ge Liheng's eighth-level.

Fang Can didn't know why, having traveled so far, he still hadn't discovered any races with relatively strong capabilities.

He had also tested it; under the infusion of his power, he directly and forcibly elevated a first-stage ant to a trillion-level Starry Sky Giant Ant, and there were still no problems.

This suggests that the potential of these creatures is not limited to this. So what could be the reason that an invisible boundary appears above the heads of all living beings?

Clearly, on the Beast Fighting Continent, there is an unseen hand macroscopically controlling the populations of countless races.

……

While Fang Can was carefully studying the various races on the Beast Fighting Continent, Tai Chu was in a bad mood.

That was the enormous energy-consuming, dazzling light burst from Ge Liheng, enough to blind the heavens.

After shining brilliantly for a few seconds, it slowly subsided, and the luminous realm returned to the normal state of a star.

However, during the time when Ge Liheng's extraordinary brilliance erupted, Tai Chu did not discover any trace of the eighth-rank cultivator.

Even after the initial vision of the cat was roughly scanned across the entire cat world.

Apart from the Star Cat Clan, there were no other abnormal beings present, clearly indicating that the idealistic Eighth Rank cultivator was not here.

"Is it because my power is too great that I chose to hide after witnessing Ge Liheng's multi-level Radiant Domain?"

Tai Chu had to consider this option, after all, Ge Liheng's display of power was something that most Eighth-level Idealists would find difficult to achieve before their unexpected demise.

'But, run...where can you run to?'

Although the Eightfold Path of the Mind was not found, the colossal sun of the Primordial Beginning revealed a hint of mockery.

The next moment, an overwhelming and terrifying will, like an invisible giant hand, seized the trembling cat Xiao Ji, who was almost shrinking into a nebula!
The primordial, magnificent will, like a bursting dam of the Milky Way, ruthlessly invaded Miao Xiaoji's sea of ​​consciousness!

If only we can capture an image of that eight-turn creature from the cat's memory.

Even with just a trace of breath, he can lock onto a target across time and space through causal connections!
'I only need to use other people's memories of you to track you down. Where do you think you can run to?'

Tai Chu sneered. Deep within Miao Xiaoji's chaotic sea of ​​consciousness, Tai Chu's will condensed into an incomparably dazzling golden sphere, radiating the majesty of a star.

By invading the sea of ​​consciousness, he directly spread out Miao Xiaoji's memories evenly, and all the memories were opened up like a scroll, allowing the golden sphere to easily browse through the other's life.

Kimi's Genesis Sutra... Sun Xiaochuan... Sister Yu from Northeast China... Haji the Immortal...

Miao Xiaoji's memories were compiled and reviewed by Tai Chu as if peeling back layers of an onion, with no secrets being revealed to him.

After reading for a while, he finally found his memories of Hagichan.

'The Great God of Hakimi's Domain... arrived on this Beast Fighting Continent by accident three days ago... and at the same time...'

'found it! ’

The golden sphere shone brightly, locking onto the images of "Hagichan" etched in the scroll of memories.

It couldn't wait to imprint the details of these images as anchors for causal tracking.

But in an instant, his movements abruptly stopped, the golden sphere suddenly rose up, staring at the countless scrolls of memories in Miao Xiaoji's sea of ​​consciousness.

'Is it...is it an illusion...I saw it wrong?' the golden sphere wondered hesitantly.

The reason it stopped moving was because it had discovered an incredibly horrifying scene.

In Miao Xiaoji's vast collection of memories, any scene involving Fang Can's image is a must.

Whether it's the neutered cat in the pale mental space, the words of Fang Can's speech on TV, or even just the image of Fang Can in Miao Xiaoji's mind.

As long as it's Fang Can in Miao Xiaoji's memory, his scarlet vertical pupils follow the movement of the golden sphere.

Wherever the golden sphere looked, Fang Can's gaze in Miao Xiaoji's memory followed.

'No!!! It's not an illusion!!!'

The dazzling light from the golden sphere within his sea of ​​consciousness flickered erratically for a moment.

Because it was horrified to discover that it wasn't just about sight!

As it gazes at those images, there are countless different scenes and angles of Hagichan.

At the same moment, the corners of their mouths turned up in the exact same playful smile!
Immediately afterwards, the mouths of countless "Fang Can" figures in countless memory scrolls opened and closed in unison, as if controlled by invisible threads:
"you--"

"It is—"

"Investigate me, huh?"

In Miao Xiaoji's memory, countless Hagichan fans said in unison.

Countless Hagichans spoke simultaneously, their voices lingering and creating ripples in the sea of ​​consciousness.

'Damn it! We've fallen for it! It's a trap! Get out of here!'

The moment Tai Chu realized something was wrong, his heart sank. The golden sphere formed from his consciousness instinctively prepared to retreat from Mao Xiaoji's sea of ​​consciousness.

Unfortunately, it was too late!
"Since you want to see me so much..."

Before she even logged off, Fang Can and the others from Miao Xiaoji's memory smiled faintly and said, "...Then, let's have a proper meeting."

Having said that, the golden sphere's retreating form instantly froze.

Immediately following was a look of horror from the core of the primordial will.

This golden sphere, representing a portion of its consciousness, was seized as if by an invisible giant hand and irrevocably dragged into the memory scroll of Miao Xiaoji's sea of ​​consciousness!

Light and shadow shift, time and space are displaced!
When the golden sphere recovered from its intense dizziness, it realized with horror its predicament:

She had already entered the scroll of Miao Xiaoji's memories.

The fist-sized sphere was now on the pink paw pad of Hagichan's right paw, as imagined by Miao Xiaoji in the painting.

'How...how did they do that?!'

At this moment, faced with this incomprehensible method, Tai Chu was also sweating profusely, and the sweat that overflowed was directly evaporated by the continuous heat on his body.

Knowing it had kicked a hornet's nest, it no longer dared to face Fang Can directly.

His first instinct was to sever his connection with the golden sphere—a painful but necessary act.

Unfortunately, Hajichan in Miaoxiaoji's memory didn't give him that chance.

In just a moment, a monstrous wave surged within Miao Xiaoji's sea of ​​consciousness, unleashing an astonishing suction force.

Subsequently, in reality, the primordial body, which had expanded to trillions of light-years, felt a crazy suction force emanating from the unconscious Miao Xiaoji.

It is the sea of ​​consciousness!
The terrifying suction force emanated from Miao Xiaoji's sea of ​​consciousness, forcefully pulling back the primordial chaos that had been expelled countless light-years away.

The irresistible, immense pulling force completely extinguished all of Tai Chu's resistance, and under that enormous suction, Tai Chu's physical body was directly pulled back towards Miao Xiao Ji.

'Is this going to pull me into my sea of ​​consciousness?'

'How could pure matter possibly contain the spirit of a cat?!'

'How could that cat's fragile mind possibly contain me!'

'What exactly does this guy want to do?'

In a state of extreme terror, Taichu's mind went haywire as he frantically pondered what he would face and how to break free from the predicament.

But in the next moment, it found its body being compressed by an extreme force.

The originally enormous star began to be shattered into countless atoms before it even came into contact with the unconscious Miao Xiaoji.

Then, these atoms were all compressed into binary information fragments.

As a piece of pure information, a piece of data that can be remembered and copied, it can naturally be contained within the sea of ​​consciousness composed of the mind.

Therefore, after the Primordial Beginning was digitized, he was forcibly pulled into Miao Xiaoji's sea of ​​consciousness.

This time, it's in Miao Xiaoji's memory scroll.

On the pink paw pad of Hajichan's right hand, what he held was not just a golden sphere representing a part of the primordial consciousness, but a quantum golden sphere that compressed the entire primordial consciousness into two dimensions.

Looking down at the information-state star, the Sun, in front of him, Hagichan yawned softly.

Then, another memory appeared in Hagichan's mind within Miao Xiaoji's memory.

That was the location of Fang Can's true form, light-years away from the cat realm, at a distance of "Gregorian number x Gregorian number x Gregorian number ... Gregorian number".

As this memory was formed, within Miao Xiaoji's sea of ​​consciousness, the memories within this memory were once again unfolded into a picture.

In the painting, Fang Can is studying how to make Eight-Turned Konjac Dessert taste best.

Looking at himself in another painting, Fang Can grabbed the Primordial Information Orb and handed it over, saying, "Here you go."

Soon, in Miao Xiaoji's memory, the Fang Can in her memory successfully delivered the Primordial Light Orb to the real Fang Can in Miao Xiaoji's memory.

With the successful handover between the two Fang Cans, a new memory immediately appeared in the mind of the Fang Can in reality.

That was a scene from Miao Xiaoji's memory, from countless light-years away, where she was handing over the ball of light to herself.

Then, Fang Can, the Memory Reality ...

In the moment Fang Can succeeded in his memory, in the present Fang Can, an information-based ball of light already appeared in his hand.

After all, information can be copied, pasted, and cut.

Therefore, the moment Fang Can possessed this memory in his mind, he could successfully retrieve an identical piece of information from reality.

Then came...

In Fang Can's hands, this pure information state began to decompress, and in the next instant, an entity, the Primordial One with a mass of Graham's number, was successfully obtained.

When Fang Can in reality weighed the weight of the Primordial Beginning.

At this moment, all of Miao Xiaoji's memories of Fang Can have returned to normal.

After all, a memory is just a memory.

What can a memory do?

The only difference is that when Miao Xiaoji wakes up, she will find that:

It's just that a memory of Fang Can eating konjac dessert will inexplicably appear in my mind.
