Two Realms High Martial Arts: Gathering the Heavens to Become a Great Luo Immortal

Chapter 335 The Man Behind the Scenes in the Great Sheng World

Li Xijun was immersed in the immense joy of obtaining "World Origin Qi" and a clear plan for the future.

This chaotic energy seemed to have opened a shortcut for him on the path to becoming an unparalleled powerhouse.

However, the increasingly faint yet still steady voice of the god-king Orog once again pulled him back from his thoughts.

"Traveler in a foreign land—this first gift is to help you solidify your foundation and quickly enhance your and your companions' strength to cope with future crises. And this second one—"

The tone of the remnant soul of the God-King became more solemn, even carrying an almost sacred reverence.

From the depths of the crack between his broken brows, a tiny, yet seemingly crystalline fragment, containing the very essence of all light and order in the world, slowly peeled away and floated in the air.

The fragment was no bigger than a fingernail, and its entire body had an almost transparent texture. Inside, however, it seemed that countless fine, extremely complex law runes were being created, flowing, and combining.

It no longer shines, but instead becomes extremely restrained. Yet, simply existing there seems to illustrate the vastness of the sky, the weight of the earth, and the ferocity of thunder.

"This is—the only remaining fragment of my divinity after my fall."

Orogg's voice carried endless vicissitudes and an indescribable sorrow, "The complete divine essence that embodies my life's cultivation and authority—has been mostly plundered by that demon fairy, and the remaining part has also lost most of its power with the death of the world—now, only these remain—fragments that carry some of my core insights—"

He seemed to be recalling that glorious yet painful past, his voice broken yet clear: "According to the ancient tradition of our world—when a god-king returns to eternity, his divine status should disintegrate and dissipate like rivers flowing into the sea, giving back the true essence of the laws contained within him to the heavens and earth that nurtured us, maintaining the balance and operation of the world—however, as you see, our world—is already dead, transformed into this eternal tomb and ruins—this giving back is meaningless."

His gaze seemed to pierce through the stone hall's barrier, reaching the desolate starry sky outside.

"I am Orogg, the last king of the gods in this world—who once wielded the vastness of the sky, the weight of the earth, and the judgment of thunder—these three powers all stemmed from a profound understanding and fusion with the fundamental laws of the universe. These fragments—are the imprints of my understanding and memories of these three powers, and even the deeper laws of heaven and earth behind them."

The God-King's voice carried a gentle guidance and expectation for his successor: "I can sense that your path is unique and your potential is limitless. But no matter what path you take, once you reach a certain height, you will eventually need to touch, understand, and even control—the fundamental law that constitutes all things in this universe."

"Comprehension of the laws is the greatest obstacle on the path of cultivation."

Orogg's tone carried the感慨 of someone who had been there before, "It is ethereal and elusive, requiring exceptional comprehension, immense opportunity, and—a time long enough to dim the stars—to explore and verify it. Even I, when I integrated the three powers and finally touched the threshold of the law, had to go through countless hardships and the sedimentation of tens of thousands of years."

He looked at Li Xijun, a hint of admiration in his remaining eyes: "Your soul origin is powerful, your comprehension is outstanding, and you possess a unique status and the wondrous laws of the universe within you—but if you were to capture and analyze the threads of law that exist in the darkness and connect the past and the future, the effort and time required would still be immeasurable."

"And this fragment of my divine essence—" Orogg's voice carried a hint of pride, the last dignity of a god-king, "though its power is reduced to a hundred percent, and it cannot directly grant you authority, it is like a star map that depicts part of the laws, a lighthouse guiding the way in the fog."

J

"When you reach that realm where you need to comprehend the laws, with it, you can save a lot of time from blindly exploring and directly see some of the true nature and operating rules of the laws of the sky, the earth, and thunder—compared to relying entirely on yourself to face the vast and boundless, clueless cosmic path, the road ahead will be much clearer."

boom!

These words, like the resounding toll of a great bell, violently reverberated in Li Xijun's mind, bringing an impact even stronger than when he had just obtained the "World Origin Qi".

Fragments of Godhood!

A "shortcut" and "guide" to directly understand the laws!

He instantly understood the true value of the gift.

This is no longer a simple resource or inheritance, but a "summary of experience" and "core notes" of the most essential part of a lifetime of cultivation by someone who has reached the pinnacle.

The image of Feng Sheng immediately flashed into his mind.

That human martial saint, relying on his extraordinary comprehension, naturally grasped the essence of the Law of Wind amidst the changing times and the breath of heaven and earth over several years, breaking through in one fell swoop and achieving the position of martial saint.

Such talent is truly extraordinary, something that can only be encountered by chance and is extremely rare.

Although Li Xijun was confident, he had many extraordinary experiences such as traveling between two worlds, binding others and self, inner universe, and the wishes of all beings. His soul origin and comprehension had long been strengthened to a level far exceeding his peers, and he also had the assistance of the innate Bagua.

But he knew that if he were to start from scratch to understand and touch the "laws" that form the foundation of the world, the process would be full of unknowns, and it would not be surprising if it took him several years, like Feng Sheng.

Now, the God-King Orog, a powerful figure who once wielded three great powers and touched the gates of law, has presented him with his remaining fragments of divine essence, along with his most fundamental insights into the laws, as a precious "reference answer" and "research notes."

This not only saves time, but also greatly reduces the threshold and risk of comprehending the laws.

This allows him to understand the "inclusivity" and "boundlessness" of the sky, the "bearing capacity" and "vitality" of the earth, and the "destruction" and "creation" of thunder from a higher starting point.

This will be of immeasurable help to him in the future to condense his own laws and break through to the legendary Martial Saint or even higher realms!

This gift is too heavy!

Its long-term value, on some levels, even surpasses that of "World Origin Qi," which is enough to create dozens of Golden Cores!

Excitement and gratitude welled up in Li Xijun's heart, but at the same time, with the emergence of this fragment of divinity, the questions in Li Xijun's mind about the core secrets of another world were stirred up like a stone thrown into a lake, creating strong ripples once again.

Since in this world, after a God-King is achieved, the power of laws condenses into a divine spark, then the Great Sheng World's […]

What exactly is the "World Origin Matter"?

The man before him, Orogg, who had witnessed true immortals, had himself reached the level of a god-king, and had a profound understanding of the nature of power, was undoubtedly the best candidate to answer this question!

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in his heart caused by the fragments of divinity, and his expression became extremely solemn as he bowed deeply to the broken coffin and the will that was about to dissipate within it.

"I am deeply grateful for the great favor bestowed upon me by His Majesty the Divine King, and I will never forget it."

He first expressed his sincere gratitude, then changed the subject, his tone becoming inquisitive and solemn, "Your Majesty possesses vast knowledge and understands the laws of heaven and earth. I, a junior, once had the opportunity to explore an extremely special..."

"In this mythical world with vastly different rules, I learned of an existence called 'World Origin Matter' from the remnant will of one of the gods. Its description and characteristics are completely different from all the cultivation systems I know, and it has always puzzled me. I wonder if Your Majesty could enlighten me?"

Next, Li Xijun recounted her experiences in the Dasheng world in as much detail as possible.

He described that world's unique "potion" system: mortals would take specific sequences of potions, play corresponding roles, and digest and absorb the "extraordinary properties" contained in the potions, thereby gaining power and advancing in rank.

He emphasized that what the gods of that world needed to ascend to a higher level was not a deepening of their own authority or an understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, but rather to find the extremely mysterious [World Origin Essence] scattered in the deepest part of the Eastern Continent, which was known as the key to the ascension of gods to a higher level.

He described in detail the will of the God of Steam and Machinery, pointing out that the gods of that world seemed to be restricted by some kind of invisible rule. Their path to advancement was more like completing some kind of fixed "ritual" rather than relying on their own cultivation to break through bottlenecks, condense stronger authority, and move from gods to higher-level main gods.

The god-king Orog listened quietly, his remaining will seemingly completely captivated by this unheard-of, bizarre, and strange system, falling into a long silence.

Only Li Xijun's words echoed in the stone hall, along with the faint fluctuations of laws emanating from the fragment of the divine spark.

After a long while, so long that Li Xijun almost thought the remnant soul of the God King had completely dissipated, a long, heavy sigh, as if bearing the weight of countless galaxies, slowly rang out.

"The vastness of the universe and the mystery of dimensions are truly beyond our imagination."

Orogg's voice was filled with indescribable emotion, a shock that came from having the boundaries of his understanding forcibly shattered, "Such a world exists, with such an inconceivable Dao!"

His tone gradually became serious, as if he were unraveling an extremely dangerous mystery: "According to what you described, the so-called 'potion' system of that world, the way its power is acquired and advanced, in essence—doesn't resemble true 'cultivation' and the sublimation of life levels at all."

The voice of the remnant soul of the God-King suddenly rose, carrying a gradually clearing, chilling tremor: "This is more like—a meticulously designed, grand, and secretive—[Assembly] ritual!"

"Rather than saying that mortals, demigods, or even so-called gods are actively absorbing" the potion,

"Accommodation" is unique; power is mastered through cultivation.

"Or rather, it is those extraordinary characteristics and uniquenesses that already exist throughout the world, containing specific rules and powers, that, guided by some unseen, supreme will, are slowly and continuously undergoing a seemingly natural but actually inevitable process of re-aggregation through the bodies, consciousness, and even the social activities and destinies of those beings!"

"This process was packaged as 'playing,' 'digesting,' and 'promoting'—it was so long, so natural, almost perfectly integrated with the natural laws and social evolution of that world, that all individuals trapped within it were like chess pieces on a chessboard, with almost no one able to step out and perceive the terrifying truth hidden behind it!"

Orogg's voice carried an unwavering certainty born from his own experience of integrating authority and comprehending the laws: "Based on my experience of unifying the three distinct yet fundamental authorities of the world—the sky, the earth, and the thunder—and ultimately comprehending the laws of guidance to ascend to the realm of God-King, as well as my later planning for resurrection and attempting to reorganize my own existence..."

"Only forces that originally belonged to the same complete origin and the same supreme will, after being forcibly scattered, stripped, and broken into countless fragments by some unimaginable power or calamity, would need to undergo this final—re-convergence and fusion—through a process that relies on living beings, proceeds gradually, and appears autonomous but is actually predetermined!"

He paused, then gave a chilling, earth-shattering conclusion that sent a chill down Li Xijun's spine: "Moreover, even if a true God-King, who has attained godhood through his own great wisdom and perseverance, unfortunately perishes, the core he leaves behind should be a divine spark that embodies his lifelong cultivation insights and is closely connected with the laws of heaven and earth."

"Divinity is alive; it is the vessel of the Tao, the crystallization of wisdom!"

"Instead of what you described, which is more like a collection of pure energy and fundamental rules, almost an inanimate object."

[Source Material]!

"Therefore, I believe—"

The voice of God-King Orog was as deep as an echo from the abyss, filled with solemnity and warning, "The Great Sheng World you speak of, the so-called World Source Matter," its essence is most likely—

An unimaginable ancient being, surpassing even the realm of ordinary god-kings, after its fall or decomposition, its most core, fundamental power, representing the very essence of its existence, disintegrated into fragments.

"That ancient and terrifying being is using the unique, meticulously modified underlying rules of that world to conduct a vast and secretive 'resurrection ritual' that spans countless ages and encompasses the entire world!"

"When all the source matter," according to a specific sequence, through the so-called potion system, is found, contained, and reassembled to a certain degree in a specific container—when the scattered authority and the source are reunited—the will of that ancient being will likely awaken completely from its eternal slumber and return once more!"

"At that time, He will no longer be the God-King of the past, but will ascend to a completely new realm, perhaps even comparable to the Blood Sea True Immortal, the Creator God of our world—an unparalleled realm!"

boom-!

This meticulous and insightful reasoning, which went straight to the heart of the matter, was like a thunderbolt, exploding wildly in Li Xijun's mind!

All the previous doubts, all the seemingly illogical clues, and all the observations about the strangeness of the Dasheng world were completely pierced through by this clear and terrifying chain of logic at this moment.

I see!

Everything makes sense now!

No wonder the world's will in the Great Sheng world favors the West so much, spares no effort in promoting the spread of the potion system, and is so clearly biased towards the Seven Gods.

This is because it is the instinctive manifestation of the residual will of that greater being, which is driving the recycling and "reorganization" of its own "parts"!

No wonder that even after becoming gods, the seven gods, despite possessing immense power, still needed to rely on faith and constantly fight against so-called "loss of control" and "madness".

Because they do not truly and perfectly control the power; they are merely "playing" the role of the holder of the power, serving as a container and catalyst to temporarily safeguard and nurture the "original fragments" of that ancient being during its revival!

If it weren't for my own "variable" from outside the world, possessing the ability to travel between two worlds, disrupting many predetermined trajectories with absolute power, and forcibly reversing the situation in the Eastern Continent, the ancient being's revival plan would probably have proceeded smoothly and unnoticed in a "natural" process until it was finally—successful!

An unprecedented chill shot up Li Xijun's spine and head, followed by an even stronger and more resolute will.

We must not let Him succeed!

Regardless of who that ancient being is, whether it was good or evil in the past, this act of treating all living beings in the world as pawns in its resurrection process inherently implies irreconcilable hostility.

Judging from its previous malice towards the Eastern Continent, if it were to successfully revive, the entire Great Sheng Dynasty would likely face dire consequences.

A fierce glint flashed in Li Xijun's eyes, and he had already made up his mind.

Now that we understand that the essence of the [World Origin Matter] is a core fragment of that ancient being, its ownership must be changed!

"Thank you, Your Majesty the God-King, for clearing away the clouds and unraveling this mystery for me."

Li Xijun bowed again with utmost solemnity.

At the same time, a thought arose in his mind:

Once the source matter is found and seized, it must never be allowed to remain in the Great Sheng World.

We must take it away immediately and use our ability to travel between worlds to completely seal it away and hide it in an absolutely safe corner of the main world or the martial arts world.

He wanted to see if the will of that ancient being truly possessed the power to transcend heaven and earth, to traverse all realms, break down the barriers of the universe, and re-complete this crucial [aggregation].
