Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 309 Two Worlds

In Zhou Yang's new universe, which devours worlds, Zhou Yang, dressed in a loose black training suit, is casually sitting on a rocky cliff on an island in the East China Sea of ​​the 'New Earth'.

Beneath his feet, the azure sea surged and churned, and through the water's obstruction, one could vaguely see various strange creatures living beneath the surface.

There are colorful and lively fish and shellfish, various mollusks and arthropods, as well as all kinds of sea worms and beetles.

"Comprehension of these laws of life is simply too difficult. After millions of years of research, I can only barely create some low-level life forms without any intelligence."

Zhou Yang, standing on the cliff, sighed softly, his tone tinged with helplessness.

The Law of Life, or the Great Dao of the Origin of Life, is a Great Dao that only beings at the level of the primordial universe can grasp. At his current level, it is indeed quite difficult for him to comprehend it.

Despite his long period of research, even with the time acceleration of the new universe and the Life Chart as a reference, Zhou Yang could only say that he had scratched the surface of the fundamental Dao of life.

However, even with just these superficial insights, he has already benefited greatly.

The Great Way of Life's origin contains countless branches and paths; even the operation of the entire primordial universe is a manifestation of the Great Way of Life's origin.

Zhou Yang was certainly not confident enough to attempt to comprehend the entire Great Dao of Life's Origin; he merely selected a few branches within it—

Life restoration, life enhancement, and the most difficult aspect of life creation!

He had already grasped the concept of life restoration. In the early days, Meteor Tears' "Life Force," which restored physical fatigue and quickly healed injuries, was an application of life restoration.

Having had previous experience, Zhou Yang quickly grasped the basics of this area. Now he has a considerable understanding of "life restoration". Even without the Meteor Tear, he can still use techniques similar to "life force" based on his own understanding. This can not only repair injuries, but also quickly restore divine power and soul!

He was also familiar with the concept of enhanced life force.

He had previously enhanced his life genes to the "perfect gene level" by copying the network diagram of the Life Chart. Later, in the process of constantly comprehending the Life Chart, he further advanced his divine power level to nearly 70,000 times by using the mysterious power he had comprehended. All of this is due to his understanding and application of "life enhancement".

Even today, life enhancement remains a key focus of his research.

As for the final creation of life, that is absolutely the most core and the most difficult of all the countless branches of the laws of life!

To create and nurture a completely new life form out of thin air, especially one with intelligence that can evolve and reproduce on its own, is incredibly difficult. It's a capability that only life forms at the level of the primordial universe possess.

In the entire primordial universe, apart from a very few special beings with corresponding innate secret techniques, almost no one is able to create a completely new life form from nothing.

Even Zhou Yang, with the support of the new universe's timeline and the Life Record as a reference, has only grasped a tiny fraction of it after billions of years of research.

Now, he can only create low-level life forms that have no intelligence whatsoever, and he is even somewhat unable to create slightly higher life forms such as birds.

"Life restoration, life enhancement, and life creation. These are three closely related branches of the laws of life. I have a fairly deep understanding of life restoration, but I have reached a bottleneck in life enhancement and life creation."

"It seems I can only accumulate knowledge slowly over time. Fortunately, I have the Life Record as a reference. The end of this cycle of reincarnation is still a long way off, so I should have enough time to comprehend it."

Zhou Yang was prepared to spend a lot of time "grinding" through it.

However, at that moment, his consciousness jolted slightly as a hazy thought swiftly penetrated his mind.

"Um?"

Zhou Yang was slightly taken aback at first, and then a strange smile appeared on his face.

"So that's how it is."

In another distant world, at the moment when his 'avatar,' a product of his spiritual light, survived the ninety-nine tribulations and his soul surged, the consciousness of the two bodies finally broke through the barrier of endless space and reconnected.

In an instant, the memories of the two bodies began to merge and connect rapidly.

Soon, the two "Zhou Yangs" each gained insight into the other's recent experiences.

"A new world. Cultivators, demon cultivators. The mortal realm, the immortal realm, the divine realm... Why does this sound so familiar?"

After receiving the memories from his 'clone', Zhou Yang's main body couldn't help but drift into a daze.

Everything in that world was surprisingly similar to a world he remembered.

"Could it really be true?"

A thought flashed through his mind, and he had a vague suspicion.

However, whether this guess is true or not, he needs to verify it gradually.

"However, now that my memories are complete, I understand the situation of my clone, so I don't need to worry too much. I should focus on cultivation, and when my cultivation level reaches that point, everything will become clear."

Zhou Yang suppressed the jumbled thoughts in his mind.

He then tried to sense the other world through his connection with his clone, hoping to gain some inspiration from the contrast between the two worlds.

However, due to the limited strength of that clone, he can currently only sense the extremely small area where the clone is located.

Even so, he made some discoveries.

"Compared to the Devouring World, the laws of that world are more restrained. It is almost impossible to cultivate the laws directly in the mortal realm. One can only exert a little bit of the power of the 'Heavenly Dao' through a vague sense. I wonder if this situation will be different in the so-called 'Immortal Realm'."

"The hierarchical nature of space: the mortal realm, the immortal realm, the human realm. Is ascension some kind of application of the Great Dao of Space?"

"By the way, the flow of time is also different on both sides. Since that spark of inspiration was reincarnated, nearly three million years have passed in this world, while less than thirty years have passed in that world? A difference of ten thousand times?"

"And then there's that wondrous tribulation lightning, the mysterious energy contained within it that can actually drive the evolution of life levels. That, that's clearly the power of the Great Dao of Life! The tribulation lightning, which symbolizes destruction, is actually nurturing ultimate life energy."

Zhou Yang sensed the two completely different worlds little by little, comprehending their different world rules and verifying them with each other. Soon, a large number of new insights quickly emerged in his mind.

At the same time, in the boundless sea, Zhou Yang's 'clone', sitting cross-legged on the black reef, also quickly opened its eyes.

"I never expected to reconnect with the main body at this time!"

A look of joy involuntarily appeared on his face.

"I was initially worried that we would be outnumbered and unable to deal with those Golden Immortal-level celestial envoys, but now..."
