Chapter 683
One Leaf, One World
Qingshan Daojun sped along, carrying Lin Yang through a vast grassland.
The grassland is covered in greenery, with a towering tree standing tall in the middle, the only tall building on the grassland.
"We've arrived." Daoist Qingshan stopped.
Lin Yang asked with some confusion, "Lord Qingshan, where is this place?"
Daoist Qingshan did not answer directly, but pointed to the only large tree, walked up to it, and said:
"Lin Yang, how much do you know about this world?"
"Understanding of the world?" Lin Yang was somewhat puzzled.
He also glanced at the large tree that Daoist Qingshan was staring at, but did not find anything special about the tree.
"Yes, what do you think our world should be like?" Qingshan Daojun asked again.
"This... Lord Qingshan, I don't quite understand what you mean." Lin Yang frowned.
"Haha, then let me tell you."
Daoist Qingshan smiled, pointed to a nearly symmetrical leaf on a book, and uttered a sentence that deeply shocked Lin Yang:
"Our world, whether it's a higher spacetime or an endless spacetime, actually exists within a single leaf."
"Just like this leaf!"
Qingshan Daojun plucked the leaf and handed it to Lin Yang.
Lin Yang was stunned for a moment.
What did Daoist Qingshan say? That they lived inside a leaf?
What does it mean? ?
He couldn't help but stare at the leaf.
It is a symmetrical leaf.
It looks no different from a normal leaf, with clearly defined veins.
He was really a bit confused.
Seeing Lin Yang's expression, Daoist Qingshan didn't give Lin Yang much time to think, and slowly pointed to the leaves again, saying:
"Do you see the veins on this leaf? The area between each vein is a complete universe."
"But each complete region of the universe is separated by the main vein in the middle of the leaf, thus forming a symmetrical region of the universe."
"And the two symmetrical parts at the top of the leaf represent endless space and time."
"Each leaf contains two endless spaces and times."
"As for the very top of the leaf, at the apex where two endless spaces and times intersect, that small area without the veins of the leaf is the high space and time we are currently in."
"Do you understand now?"
Lin Yang: "..."
silence.
There was a long silence.
Shocked.
A profound and moving experience.
Lin Yang was stunned.
They were even a little confused.
What Daoist Qingshan said was astonishing!
The entire world, whether it be the universe, endless spacetime, or even higher spacetime, is actually all contained within a single leaf?!
This……
For a moment, Lin Yang couldn't find any words to express his feelings.
Daoist Qingshan seemed to understand Lin Yang's feelings at this moment. After pausing for a long while, he continued slowly:
"When I first heard this news, I was just as shocked as you, even in disbelief. But it is true, we all live in a world formed from a single leaf!"
"Moreover, it's just one leaf from a large tree." Daoist Qingshan pointed to the entire tree and said slowly:
“Besides our world, other worlds, such as the more than 30,000 high-level spacetimes in the Wind Shadow Spacetime Domain that I mentioned before, are worlds within other leaves that are adjacent to our leaf.”
"You can think of it as a spacetime domain, which is the world of neighboring leaves on the same branch of a big tree."
"In other words, on the branches from which this leaf we are growing, there are more than 30,000 other leaf worlds of the same kind!"
Lin Yang was once again shocked.
The world they live in is inside a leaf!
Moreover, it's not just a single leaf containing a world and living beings.
Rather, the world and its creatures reside within the countless leaves of an entire tree!
"Your Excellency Qingshan, this...this..." Lin Yang's throat tightened and went dry.
There are many questions I want to ask, but when the words reach my lips, I don't know how to begin.
Daoist Qingshan smiled slightly and said:
"I know you're shocked right now, anyone would be. You probably want to ask how many of these leaf worlds there are, and how they formed, right?"
Lin Yang nodded with difficulty.
Qingshan Daojun laughed and said, "To be honest, I don't know the specific answers to these questions either. I can only tell you that the world of leaves is countless."
"Just like this tree in front of us, a tree has hundreds of thousands to millions of leaves, with various branches spreading out."
"And there's more than one of these cosmic spacetime trees!"
Lin Yang's heart skipped a beat: "More than one?"
“Yes!” Daoist Qingshan nodded. “There is at least as many as a forest. As for how many of these Cosmic Spacetime Trees there are in the forest, we have no idea.”
Qingshan Daojun withdrew his gaze, then suddenly waved his hand, and the scene before him changed.
The big trees "disappeared," and in their place was a forest that stretched as far as the eye could see.
To be precise, the big tree didn't disappear; it simply blended into the forest.
Only then did Daoist Qingshan speak again leisurely:
"The world we live in is like this forest, inside a leaf on a branch of a tree in this endless forest."
Buzz.
Lin Yang felt his head buzzing and he was dizzy!
What Daoist Qingshan said was completely beyond his imagination and comprehension.
The entire world was actually a leaf on a branch of a tree in an endless forest!
Lin Yang's breathing became somewhat rapid.
In this situation, he found it extremely difficult to calm his emotions.
"Lin Yang, this news must be kept secret. Not everyone can accept these things."
Qingshan Daojun's voice was deep:
"As the guide, my greatest responsibility is to inform those with exceptional talent within this space-time of the true existence of this world."
"The reason I'm telling you this is because, although our world is contained within a leaf, we are living, breathing human beings!"
"That's beyond question!"
"Remember, no matter where we live, we are all human beings!"
You can doubt the reality of this world, but never doubt your own existence!
At this moment, the voice of Daoist Qingshan was filled with a unique power that flowed into Lin Yang's mind.
In an instant, Lin Yang's body trembled slightly as he snapped out of his indescribable state of shock and disillusionment!
"Never... question your own existence!" Lin Yang repeated.
Immediately, his eyes cleared.
Yes.
Although living in a world of leaves sounds incredible.
But my existence is real!
Then, Lin Yang looked up at Daoist Qingshan. He had many questions, but in the end, he only asked one:
"Lord Qingshan, what kind of strength is required to transcend the world of leaves?" (End of Chapter)
