“I don’t know who Hongjun Dao Ren is, but I do know that your Realm Planet is real. Everything here has been formed under the influence of your powerful spiritual energy. This area was originally chaotic, filled with various disordered substances, all of which were absorbed and gathered together by your spiritual force, forming this planet. My sensing ability can still detect more material beyond this area, but unfortunately, your spiritual power isn’t strong enough to absorb excessive amounts of matter. Otherwise, your Realm Planet would continue to grow larger and larger!”
“Oh, by the way, Shui Miao, my inherited memory also tells me that if I continue to grow, I can become a real and enormous sun. With my help, you could condense more planets, becoming the eternal ruler of an entire universe. The supernatural forces of this universe would then be at your command, making you stronger and stronger, forever undefeated. As long as this universe exists, you will exist eternally.”
Ziluan’s voice came like music from the heavens, and every person on this planet heard it.
Everyone was instantly inspired!
Shui Miao could condense planets and become the ruler of an entire universe—such power was simply terrifying.
Unbelievable, unimaginable, like a dream!
Shui Miao’s relatives, friends, and even the scattered immortals were all stunned.
However, Shui Miao did not feel excited.
He didn’t fully trust Ziluan’s words. The true truth could only be known after meeting Hongjun Dao Ren.
Of course, that would only be if Hongjun Dao Ren actually told the truth.
Moreover, Shui Miao still suspected that someone was manipulating everything, and that he was merely a pawn in someone else’s game.
As Shui Miao pondered, he faintly sensed a mysterious force enhancing him.
Quickly clearing his mind, Shui Miao carefully focused his spiritual awareness and gradually discovered in amazement that this was a special power radiating from all living things after Ziluan transformed into a blazing sun illuminating everything.
“Haha, Shui Miao, now you understand why I initially called you an idiot?”
This time, Ziluan’s voice echoed directly in Shui Miao’s mind. “True primordial spiritual energy comes from the essence of all living beings, not merely from piling up Yuan stones. Piling up Yuan stones can only produce some secondary spiritual energy, which cannot be compared to the primordial kind. Now, every moment, all living beings on this planet are providing you with primordial spiritual energy. If you can find more Yuan stones, if you can cultivate more powerful life forms, you will gain even more primordial spiritual energy, and thus grow increasingly powerful!”
“…”
Hearing these words, Shui Miao was stunned!
If that were the case, wouldn’t Nuwa be extremely formidable?
She created billions of humans and countless other life forms. Her primordial spiritual energy must be immense—perhaps even enough to cultivate a primordial spiritual body! No wonder she could possess primordial spiritual treasures. It all made sense now. In that case, the Buddha Tathagata’s secondary spiritual body would be no match for Nuwa’s. Nuwa was merciful and did not wish for conflict or chaos in the Three Realms, which was why she worked hard to maintain order.
Shui Miao even recalled the legend of Nuwa mending the heavens.
Just imagine, could an ordinary immortal or deity accomplish such an unthinkable feat? If she weren’t the creator of this world, how could she have done it?
Yet, thinking about Earth, or even the entire solar system being Nuwa’s Realm World, Shui Miao felt something was off, because there were many other powerful beings beyond Nuwa.
Confusion and doubt once again troubled Shui Miao.
To learn the truth, he would have to consult Nuwa herself.
Shui Miao stopped his wandering thoughts and focused his mind to sense the mysterious primordial spiritual energy enhancing him.
Soon, he discovered that this mysterious force was incredibly profound and magical.
He felt every pore in his body, every drop of blood, even every cell, undergoing transformation… transforming into something like black hole material, with vast internal space capable of holding massive amounts of spiritual power! As the mysterious primordial spiritual energy enhanced him, all the spaces within him continued to expand, and his spiritual power multiplied and filled those enlarged spaces.
In this way, Shui Miao’s strength was continuously increasing exponentially!
If this transformation continued, what would happen!?
Thinking ahead to three years from now, even Shui Miao himself was stunned…
To understand the principle and truth, Shui Miao suppressed his excitement and focused on observing the transformation of one pore.
The pore slowly changed, its internal space growing larger and faster. Gradually, the pore even transformed into the form of a black hole…
Empty!
Another universe!
Ah!
Could it be that the entire universe is a giant, and the black holes we see are just the pores of that giant?
And the universe we live in might actually be the cellular structure of that giant!?
That’s too… too… too unbelievable…
Shui Miao’s mind was shaken. He quickly focused on another pore’s transformation, channeling more primordial spiritual energy to accelerate the change. Gradually, he noticed that many substances inside the pore also transformed. They were actually yin-yang and five-element substances, materials that could be forged into specific objects.
After a while, when the space became large enough, a tiny green glowing spot suddenly appeared inside…
Shui Miao immediately focused his consciousness on the glowing spot and discovered that it was actually the realm space of a tree spirit from his Realm Planet!
“So that’s how it is…”
“The formation of the universe is actually like this!”
Suddenly, everything became clear to Shui Miao, confirming his earlier hypothesis.
He did not disturb the tree spirit but quietly withdrew his spiritual awareness. He noticed that the pore he had focused so much primordial spiritual energy on had become slightly swollen and reddened.
To further verify his hypothesis, Shui Miao calmed himself and began slowly accepting the enhancement of the mysterious force.
※※※
A long time passed inside the Time Tower, though only a short while had elapsed outside.
Following Shui Miao’s instructions, everyone restored the alien capital to its original state.
Not long after, the three alien Emperors arrived in a great hurry.
One of them was You Kua, whom Shui Miao had met before. He had been furious when Shui Miao’s self-destruction of the Hongyu Chessboard destroyed the Qingtian Peak and injured them. He chased Shui Miao all the way to the entrance of the Fifth Heaven, where he was seriously wounded by the self-destruction of the Tianji Zunzhe puppet before fleeing back here.
Upon seeing the humans, You Kua immediately flew into a rage and was about to attack.
“Third Brother, don’t act recklessly. Don’t you see that our people are all safe?”
The eldest Emperor, You Cu, stopped You Kua and gazed at the capital and the enormous ancient King floating above it.
“Let me check…”
The second Emperor, You Dun, activated his spiritual power, and his eyes turned milky white.
After observing for a while, You Dun wore a puzzled expression and said, “The capital indeed experienced a major battle, and many buildings were destroyed, but they’ve been newly repaired, with a lot of human spiritual energy lingering on them. However, all our people inside the capital are real, but strangely, they also carry traces of human spiritual energy. Could it be that the humans fought with our people, reconciled, and then healed them?”
The second Emperor failed to see through the fact that the people were actually puppets, which was inseparable from the joint efforts of Xuankong’er and Zixian.
“Hmm, the situation isn’t that simple. To be able to fight the Grand Sage to a draw, these human cultivators indeed have some strength,” said the eldest Emperor You Cu, nodding to the second Emperor You Dun, then glancing sternly at the third Emperor You Kua. “Third Brother, the humans are backed by Hongjun Dao Ren. You shouldn’t have slaughtered those human cultivators recklessly. That explosion at Qiantian Peak was definitely a warning from Hongjun Dao Ren. Don’t cause any more trouble this time.”
The eldest Emperor’s words were quite heavy.
The second Emperor You Dun was smooth-talking and quickly added, “It’s not impossible to deal with the human cultivators. Hongjun Dao Ren is currently suffering from the Five Decays of the Immortal, his life hanging in the balance. Once he dies, Third Brother, you can massacre them at will.”
“That old man will definitely cultivate a successor before he dies. We should strike while he’s weak, kill him before he can find a replacement,” the third Emperor You Kua, still furious, muttered angrily.
“Third Brother, you…”
The eldest Emperor You Cu was about to scold his younger brother when he suddenly sensed a spatial fluctuation.
“Hu hu hu…”
The Grand Sage (puppet), Xuankong’er, Zixian, and Wenchang Dijun appeared.
“Youtu pays respects to the Emperors…” the Grand Sage quickly bowed to the three Emperors.
Xuankong’er, Zixian, and Wenchang Dijun also saluted with clasped fists.
The eldest Emperor You Cu and the second Emperor You Dun, without suspicion, smiled and returned the salute with clasped fists.
But the third Emperor You Kua kept his eyes fixed on the Grand Sage. As he looked, he suddenly noticed a peculiar aura on the Grand Sage—one he had sensed before on the Tianji Zunzhe puppet in the Immortal Demon Realm. To verify the Grand Sage’s identity, You Kua suddenly asked, “Youtu, among the thirteen disciples of our Xingyue Clan’s first Grand Emperor, which one inherited the position of the second Grand Emperor?”
The third Emperor You Kua was testing whether the Grand Sage Youtu was truly one of them.
Youtu, as the Grand Sage of the alien empire, should be well-versed in this history and answer fluently.
“Your Majesty, it was the Holy Emperor You Lie,” the Grand Sage immediately replied.
Upon hearing this, the three Emperors’ faces instantly changed!
“Haha, you’re exposed! The first Grand Emperor of our Xingyue Clan only had eleven disciples. Where did thirteen come from? You, as the Grand Sage of our Xingyue Clan, don’t even know this—you’re clearly an impostor!”
The third Emperor You Kua shouted, immediately activating his powerful spiritual shield to prevent the Grand Sage from self-destructing.
