Zhou Bao had no idea if Heaven Realm World merging into the huge melting pot, the Void Universe, was a disaster or a blessing. The Highest Heaven Celestial Device had finally stopped after 10 days of flying. In these 10 days, Zhou Bao heard a lot from the practitioners at the Palace about Heaven Realm World. Overall, from the information he received, the situation in Heaven Realm World was still good, leaning more towards the ‘very good’ side. After the Holy Alliance failed, no other influence was willing to be embarrassed again.
Zhou Bao left his incarnation in Heaven Realm World. However, it was kept in a closed-door training situation, which limited its knowledge. Besides, even if the incarnation knew anything, it would only be about some minor incidents happening inside Heaven Realm World. It had no information about the reaction of those in the hollow towards Heaven Realm World showing up again.
“Seems like Heaven Realm World really lives to its name! After so many years, the Void Universe hasn’t forgotten about it at all! Once it appeared, there was huge chaos everywhere!”
“Obviously! Heaven Realm World has a passageway to the Void Immortal Realm. With this connection to the Void Immortal Realm, Immortals can walk on a super wide path on their journey to become Earthly Immortals. Who will be willing to give up such good benefits?” The little doll listened to Zhou Bao’s speech and laughed coldly, “In the antiquity times, being an Earthly Immortal was almost like being an emperor. Although it was not included as part of the 99 Emperors, it was enough to rule a Star Area. At the very least, it could allow one to be a Realm Lord. In dire conditions, one could at least cultivate a macro world. As long as enough pneuma had been gathered, one could live forever. There was nothing to fear!”
“How about Immortals? Didn’t Immortals have to go through tribulations?”
“No, Immortals themselves do not go through tribulations. They will only have an Earthly Immortal Tribulation when they break through to the Earthly Immortal. Therefore they are the most relaxed ones among the lot. However, this so-called carefree and no tribulations conditions only meant that they themselves have no tribulations. Once the Tribulation of Heaven and Earth starts, these Immortals will be reduced to ashes. Their small worlds cannot withstand the true attack of the mighty powers. Only those Earthly Immortals who have refined a macro world have a chance of escaping from the Tribulation of Heaven and Earth!”
“Tribulation of Heaven and Earth? What’s that? Is it like the Necromancer’s Tribulation from before?”
“Necromancer’s Tribulation, hahaha, that was considered as a minor tribulation only. Now, in this Void Universe, only an attack from the Primordial Demon of the Devil Realm is qualified to be called a tribulation. But that is still not the Tribulation of Heaven and Earth. The real one can destroy all things. Even if you have a cultivation of the Celestial Immortal phase, you cannot withstand it totally. Earthly Immortals will suffer greater losses while Immortals cannot withstand it at all! Hence, without an Earthly Immortal cultivation and without refining a macro world, there’s a 99% chance that you will be reduced to ashes when the Tribulation of Heaven and Earth comes. That’s what happens when you have a carefree way of life!”
“Sounds like you have undergone the Tribulation of Heaven and Earth before!”
“That’s right, I have undergone the Tribulation of Heaven and Earth before. That is why I ended up like this. If not, why do you think I am such a mess now?” While talking about the Tribulation of Heaven and Earth, the little doll’s face held traces of lingering fear, as if recalling something scary. “I was born during the Primordial Origin. I was carrying the first congenital killing intent back then. I did nothing to receive Karma and wasn’t supposed to be in the tribulation. Hehe, after experiencing the Tribulation of Heaven and Earth twice, I was still fine! After the second tribulation, my spiritual intelligence was suddenly awakened! Once it opened up, I started to think about many things and ended up receiving my karma. I was seriously injured in the third Tribulation of Heaven and Earth. After that, I focused on recovering. But who knew that I would trigger something that I shouldn’t have. I was almost destroyed. Till today, I have only recovered a little bit of my Original Spirit!” Speaking of which, he lifted his head and glanced at Zhou Bao, “The third Tribulation of Heaven and Earth was the downfall of many spirits. It was also the tribulation that ended the era of the ancient deities. I was injured then!”
“The downfall of many spirits, Tribulation of Heaven and Earth? If that’s the case, then the Necromancer’s Tribulation in the antiquity times cannot be counted as a Tribulation of Heaven and Earth. However, for the past 800,000 odd years, so many things have changed, they are not the same as they used to be. Times are different now!”
“You’re wrong, the time change only happened in Heaven Realm World; the Void Universe did not change!” The little doll continued, “The whole Void Universe is still functioning like how it used to in Heaven Realm World during the antiquity times; it’s just that Heaven Realm World has disappeared. To you people from Heaven Realm World, the antiquity times may have ended, but for the whole Void Universe, it merely underwent a minor tribulation. 810,000 years, hehe, you need to understand, during the era of the ancient deities, the spirits could sleep way longer than that! It is not too long a time that it should be deemed unacceptable by anyone. Furthermore, the inheritance from antiquity times was not cut off. If I am not wrong, many of the Realm Lords of the macro world, as well as the First Elders who are controlling the macro world from behind the scenes, are still the same bunch of old guys who have undergone the Necromancer’s Tribulation! 810,000 years to them is a joke, just enough to take a snooze!”
“Hehe!” After hearing the little doll’s words, Zhou Bao laughed drily. 810,000 years was the span of a countless number of lifetimes for ordinary people. However, in the eyes of the little doll, it was just enough time for a quick nap. This was not a small difference!
The Highest Heaven Celestial Device of Star Palace was located in a fancy and bustling macro world.
In reality, this Highest Heaven Celestial Device had entered the internal layer of the Star Area on the fifth day. It was then that Zhou Bao noticed the increasing numbers of Highest Heaven Celestial Devices flying into the Star Area. They were of all shapes and sizes and some even had all kinds of symbols on them. They resembled those spaceships that Zhou Bao had seen in the Sci-Fi movies in his past life. The only difference now was that there were no ports for these Highest Heaven Celestial Devices to park in the Star Area. That was because the Highest Heaven Celestial Devices could shrink and expand easily. Once they reach their destination, they could stow in the body. Hence, there was no need for these ports.
There were no ports, but there were many planets of all sizes that had been created. After entering the inner layer of the Star Area, Zhou Bao was amazed to find that almost all the floating planets in the hollow had buildings on them. Furthermore, they were all densely located. Some were new while some were very old. This was an eye-opener for Zhou Bao.
When he visited the Infinite Star Sea previously, he had been amazed by how the two Star Areas that occupied the Infinite Star Sea had managed to develop it. However, that was truly a wilderness when compared to this Star Area in front of him now.
At the same time, he also realized that there were a large number of practitioners in this Star Area. In this Star Area, there were planets just like earth; it had a big atmosphere surrounding it for ordinary people to live in. However, there were also other planets that were either floating in the hollow or simply did not have such a huge atmosphere. Those living in them were all practitioners. It was due to this that Zhou Bao realized another strange phenomenon. The planets in the hollow were mostly refined. Zhou Bao saw, with his own eyes, a small planet that had an extremely tiny surface area but was enveloped by an atmosphere. Not only were there many ordinary people living on it, but there was also even a sect that was in total control of these people.
“There is nothing strange about this, this is what the Void Universe is truly like. These refined planets in the hollow are all made up of small sects and gangs. Their existence is like ashes, and their strongest fighters are merely Human Immortals. They don’t even have Human Immortals of Three Flower phase. They have very limited numbers of Human Immortals too. For example, Star Palace may sound nice, but in this Easternmost Land, they are not a big school. At most, they can only be ranked as a middle-lower school. Their sect will not be in the macro world but on a naturally-formed vast planet. There may be a micro world that’s full of pneuma inside the sect, that is their source, and maybe Star Palace is the name of that micro world!”
“This is really an eye-opener!”
After entering the internal layer of the Star Area, Zhou Bao focused on his surroundings. He had mixed feelings of shock, envy and curiosity. His reaction led the little doll to look down on him. “This is just Easternmost Land; it is considered a rural part of the Void Universe. Not even one Star Area has been developed completely. Once you reach other parts of the Void Universe, not including the Central Pole Region, you’ll notice that even the West Wilds, South China, the Eastern Land, and the North Sea are more prosperous than this place!”
“West Wilds, South China, the Eastern Land, North Sea, and the Central Pole Region…these seem to be the five directions of the hollow! Were they also known as this too during the antiquity times?”
“Yes, this is according to the five main spirit fields during the ancient deities era. After their downfall, their names became what it is today. Furthermore, it seems like the present names had not been changed. Hence, after the downfall of the era of the ancient deities, this Void Universe did not have a new Tribulation of Heaven and Earth. If it was a real one, then everything would be changed, whatever that’s left will just be legendary tales!”
“I don’t care anymore, this place is quite new, let me look around!”
Just like what the little doll said, Star Palace was really not much of a big school in this part of the Star Area. Hence, their place of origin did not exist in the macro world, but on a vast planet. It was just that this vast planet had such a different amount of pneuma when compared to Heaven Realm World. Its surface area was extremely large as well. However, most of the occupants on this vast planet were ordinary people and practitioners were the minority group. Even so, the ability of this Star Palace was not comparable to those sects in the Seven-deity Regions. The strongest Highest Elder in the sect of Seven-deity Regions in Heaven Realm World, was merely at the Human Immortal rank. In fact, he was a beginner Human Immortal. However, Star Palace had tens of Human Immortals. It also had two Human Immortals who had reached the Gathering of Essence, Qi and Spirit in Acupoint realm. There were also a few fairy weapons in the palace that was capable of suppressing their fate. This capability was several times higher than the sect in the Seven-deity Regions.
However, even this ability was considered as that of a lower-middle rank in this part of the Star Area. It could not be compared with the real big sects. Those sects occupied one macro world and had access to an ocean of resources and also possessed a terrifying ability.
