Chapter 293 Going Downstream?
"Is the chaotic being who made the move the Dragon Ancestor of this Great Cataclysm era?"
The island lord of Time and Space immediately recognized the Dragon Ancestor's identity.
As the supreme being who once anchored the 'anchor' into the vast universe, the master of Time-Space Island still recognizes the chaotic beings born in this era of great destruction.
The First God King goes without saying, and the second-tier supreme beings like the Dragon Ancestor and Phoenix Ancestor are also quite prominent.
What does it mean to be able to elevate one's strength to the second level around the time of the creation of the world? It means that the direction of the path system pioneered by this supreme being is correct.
Before the end of this Great Cataclysm era, it is hoped that one can reach the third level of supreme beings. After experiencing one Great Cataclysm era after another, it is even more possible to become a fifth level supreme being, just like the island master of Time and Space Island.
"Why...why would the Dragon Ancestor attack the Evergreen Tree Ancestor?"
The owner of Time-Space Island was puzzled.
Although the supreme beings within the vast universe rely on their unlimited energy supply, they are not particularly afraid of the supreme beings in the boundless void.
However, unless absolutely necessary, no supreme being in the universe would make a move against the supreme being in the boundless void.
Countless ages ago, the 'beginning' of the human race joined forces with the Lord of the Abyss and the Lord of the Heavenly Cave to injure the First God-King outside the Great Universe.
The fact that the First God-King did not settle scores with the Lord of the Abyss and the Lord of the Heavenly Cave afterward, and did not even erase the 'anchors' these two supreme beings had anchored into the universe, reveals something about the matter.
"And this Dragon Ancestor has already entered the third level? In terms of attack, he is no weaker than that First God King, no, he is slightly stronger than the First God King."
The island master of Time-Space Island observed carefully and was secretly amazed.
The fact that the Dragon Ancestor reached the third level of the Supreme Being so quickly was beyond his expectations.
Not only was the island lord of Time and Space observing the Dragon Ancestor and the Evergreen Tree Ancestor, but also the gazes of many supreme beings in the vast and boundless void were directed in that direction.
"The Dragon Ancestor of this Great Cataclysm era is actually this powerful?"
"But why did she attack the Evergreen Tree Ancestor? The Evergreen Tree Ancestor is said to possess unfathomable strength, having lived since the time of the Origin Heaven and Earth, countless eras before the Great Cataclysm, and continuing to live to this day."
"Indeed, at the end of the world, the supreme rules of time shattered, and the time beings who were aligned with the Dao of Destiny suffered a backlash and perished. However, many powerful beings below the time beings were fortunate enough to survive, and the Evergreen Tree Ancestor is said to be one of them."
"What caused the Supreme Rule of Time to shatter? It is said to have originated in the era of heaven and earth, and the Supreme Rule of Time completely surpasses the other eight supreme rules. It is also known as the Supreme Rule of Destiny. What kind of power could cause the Supreme Rule of Time to shatter?"
The supreme beings in the boundless void kept talking, all of them yearning for the origin of heaven and earth, which was a great longing for the chaotic life.
In the origin of the universe, time was the highest and the rules were complete. The primordial power was inexhaustible. There were no great destructions. The chaotic beings would not have gone into active slumber to reduce energy loss as they do now.
Even in the primordial era, the cultivation of chaotic beings was not like it is now, where they were groping in the dark.
The chaotic life forms that originated from heaven and earth only need to continuously comprehend the supreme rules of time, and after thoroughly understanding them, integrate them into their own path system to become the Chaos Supreme.
The Chaos Supreme is also known as the Time Life.
Time Life possesses numerous incredible abilities, allowing it to observe future timelines, travel upstream to the endless past, and downstream to the infinite future.
The terrifying fluctuations of the boundless void also alarmed the supreme beings within the vast universe.
"Dragon Ancestor"
The First God-King gazed into the distance at a certain point in the boundless void.
She had a good relationship with the Dragon Ancestor, who had once told the First God King that he was going to the boundless void to find the ancient Evergreen Tree Ancestor and verify the doubts in his heart.
The First God King had no idea that the Dragon Ancestor had already stepped into the third level of supreme beings.
"What exactly are you trying to verify? Is it related to the primordial being? And Su Yuan? That he obtained the primordial being's inheritance?"
The First God-King pondered in her heart. As a chaotic being, her mind worked incredibly fast. From the Dragon Ancestor's few words, she deduced many possibilities.
Countless ages ago, the Dragon Ancestor followed the natural course of events and fled into the boundless void. The fact that the Dragon Ancestor was able to do this was most likely related to the first being that appeared briefly during the creation of the world.
The First God-King tested the Dragon Ancestor on this point, and the Dragon Ancestor did not deny it.
As for the fact that after returning, the Dragon Ancestor refused to participate in the war against the human race, according to the conclusion drawn by the First God King after repeated observations, it should be related to the human race Su Yuan.
Therefore, the First God-King naturally deduced that Su Yuan of the human race had obtained the inheritance of the earliest living beings.
"Dragon Ancestor".
Phoenix Ancestor frowned. Since the beginning of time, he had been fighting against Dragon Ancestor, and their strengths were roughly equal.
However, at this moment, the Dragon Ancestor took the lead and became the supreme being of the third level, which made the Phoenix Ancestor's thoughts complicated.
"Since you've already reached the third level, why did you admit defeat after returning?" Feng Zu was quite annoyed.
With the strength of a third-level supreme being, how could Phoenix Ancestor possibly win if Dragon Ancestor were to reveal his true power?
But the Dragon Ancestor refused to say anything and even conceded defeat.
This made Fengzu feel that Longzu was looking down on him.
"The ancestor of evergreen trees".
Su Yuan, who was cultivating, also glanced at a certain place in the boundless void.
"Su Yuan, that Dragon Ancestor actually possesses the strength of a third-level Supreme Being." The figure of the Demon Mountain Supreme Being appeared, his tone revealing apprehension.
Fortunately, the Dragon Ancestor did not participate in that battle ten thousand years ago.
If the Dragon Ancestor had been involved, even with Su Yuan's sudden emergence, the two third-level supreme beings would have joined forces to deal with him alone.
Even if Su Yuan is able to resist, that war will inevitably be extremely difficult.
"Why did the Dragon Ancestor attack the Evergreen Tree Ancestor? I've never heard of any grudge between them."
The supreme being of the Buddha also emerged, looking puzzled.
"It's because of the first living beings."
Su Yuan said casually.
He possessed the gray mirror, so he naturally knew the Dragon Ancestor's purpose and thoughts.
"The first living beings?"
The supreme being of the Buddha statue was slightly taken aback.
When he was born, countless years had passed since the beginning of time, and he had only heard about the first living beings from other supreme beings.
Of the twenty supreme beings in the universe, only the First God-King, the Dragon Ancestor, and the Phoenix Ancestor have personally witnessed the first living beings.
As for the three supreme beings of the later creation era, when they were born, the first living beings had already disappeared for billions of years.
"Chu once told me about the first being," the High One of the Demon Mountain suddenly said. "Chu said that the first being was very likely the legendary time-based being."
"Time-based lifeforms? Chaos Supreme Beings?" The Supreme Being of the Floating Pagoda blinked, puzzled. "Wasn't it said that after the Origin of Heaven and Earth, the Supreme Rule of Time shattered, making it impossible for time-based lifeforms to comprehend the Supreme Rule of Time to be born again?"
"I don't know either," the Supreme Being of the Demon Mountain said, equally perplexed. "But from the beginning of the Creation Era, that primordial being appeared. Under the gaze of this primordial being, the Creation Era gradually flourished, and countless incredible life forms were born."
"really."
The highest being of the Buddha nodded.
The closer one gets to the place where the universe was born, the more abundant the primordial power becomes, which can give birth to incredibly terrifying life forms.
"However, no matter how prosperous the early days of creation were, or how terrifying and exaggerated the life forms created by creation were, as long as that first being still sat alone at the highest point, no chaotic life was ever born."
The Supreme Being of Demon Mountain said in a deep voice, "Until the first being disappeared and the Creation Era entered its middle stage, within a short span of hundreds of millions of years, three chaotic beings—the First God-King, the Dragon Ancestor, and the Phoenix Ancestor—were born in succession."
"This"
The highest being of the Buddha was startled.
At this moment, he also realized that something was wrong. The creation era lasted for more than trillions of years, and the early to middle stages of the creation era were also calculated in trillions of years.
Despite such a long period of time, coupled with the favorable cosmic environment, the pervasive presence of primal power, and the freedom to enter and exit the primal realm, not a single chaotic life form has been born.
If the birth of chaotic life is indeed difficult, then why were three chaotic beings born in just a few hundred million years after the first being disappeared? Furthermore, three more chaotic beings were born during the middle to late stages of the Creation Era.
Judging from the performance from the middle to the late stages of the Creation Era, shouldn't there have been more chaotic life forms born in the early stages of the Creation Era? At least not fewer than in the middle to late stages, and certainly not none at all.
"You mean, in the early days of creation, the absence of chaotic life was due to the very first living beings?"
"The supreme being of the Buddha said solemnly."
"That was my initial guess," the High One of the Demon Mountain nodded. "Only the terrifying nature of time-based life and its own path could prevent the birth of chaotic life in the current universe."
For example, a fish tank could originally house many small fish.
But if a 'big fish' bigger than the fish tank appears, then the other small fish will naturally not be able to survive.
Originating in the era of heaven and earth, time had supreme and complete rules, which is why it was able to contain the 'big fish,' which are the life forms of time.
However, in the Great Cataclysm, the supreme rules of time shattered, naturally drastically reducing the upper limit of the powerful beings it could accommodate. At most, it could only accommodate one time-based being; it could no longer accommodate a chaotic being, even if that chaotic being was just a small fish. "So that's how it is."
The Supreme Being of the Floating Pagoda seemed to be deep in thought. Chu's analysis and speculation were indeed very reasonable, at least explaining why no chaotic life was born in the early stages of the long era of creation.
"Su Yuan, do you think Chu's speculation is correct?"
The supreme being of the Buddha looked at Su Yuan and couldn't help but ask.
"more or less."
Su Yuan looked at him strangely and nodded.
The initial speculation was indeed very close to the truth.
Somewhere in the boundless void.
The towering divine tree swayed, and under the relentless attacks of the Dragon Ancestor, a vast consciousness began to slowly awaken.
"I have met the ancestor of the evergreen tree."
The Dragon Ancestor immediately stopped and bowed to the divine tree.
She attacked the Evergreen Ancestor in order to awaken it.
The Evergreen Tree Ancestor has been asleep for many great eras of destruction, and has entered a deep slumber, so ordinary disturbances from the outside world cannot disturb him.
"you are?"
With a downward gaze, the Evergreen Tree Ancestor instantly discerned that the Dragon Ancestor was a chaotic being from this era of great destruction.
"It's so good to be young."
The Evergreen Tree Ancestor was quite moved. In his eyes, the Dragon Ancestor was not only young, but had not even lived through a Great Cataclysm, and could not even be considered a child.
It is precisely because of this, with the support of the great universe, that the Dragon Ancestor spared no expense in attacking him with all his might in order to achieve the goal of awakening him.
"Speak, what do you want from me?"
After a moment of reflection, the Evergreen Tree Ancestor looked down at the Dragon Ancestor and said...
"It is said that the Tree Ancestor knows everything." The Dragon Ancestor's tone was slightly respectful. "I have come here today to ask the Tree Ancestor to verify something."
"I would not say I know everything."
The Evergreen Tree Ancestor shook his head, "Even in the primordial era, those time beings and chaotic supreme beings could not be omniscient."
To know everything means to be omnipotent.
If the beings of time and the supreme beings of chaos were truly omnipotent, the supreme rules of time would not have been broken, and the era of origin of heaven and earth would not have ended.
"Even the Time-Life and Chaos Supremes are not omniscient."
The Dragon Ancestor pondered for a moment, then continued, "I want to verify that in the early days of the Creation Era, during this Great Cataclysm, the first being appeared. I want to know all his memories."
The Dragon Ancestor voiced his doubts.
"The first beings of this Great Cataclysm?"
The Evergreen Tree Ancestor fell silent, then looked at the Dragon Ancestor strangely and asked, "Do you really want to know?"
These words were spoken.
The Dragon Ancestor was startled.
It is clear that the Evergreen Ancestor knew the secrets related to the first living beings.
"I want to know."
The Dragon Ancestor immediately replied.
"Actually, you're not the first person to ask me about this."
"The Evergreen Tree Ancestor suddenly said."
“Not the first.” The Dragon Ancestor’s thoughts raced.
Could it be that Phoenix Ancestor or the First God King also asked Evergreen Tree Ancestor?
wrong?!
If the First God King had asked, he wouldn't have refused to tell him; the same goes for Phoenix Ancestor.
Both of these supreme beings have a great connection with the Dragon Ancestor.
"Don't overthink it. Who was the last Supreme Being who asked me this question? It was the Lord of the Abyss. That was many times before the Great Cataclysm."
"The Evergreen Tree Ancestor said casually."
Lord of the Abyss
The Dragon Ancestor fell silent.
The Lord of the Abyss also inquired about the first beings.
just
The Lord of the Abyss was born hundreds of years before the Great Cataclysm. What is the relationship between the first being he inquired about and the first being of this Great Cataclysm?
If it's unrelated, why mention the Evergreen Tree Ancestor?
Is it
The Dragon Ancestor's expression changed drastically.
"You probably guessed it already."
The Evergreen Tree Ancestor smiled and said, "I dare not guarantee every Great Cataclysm era after the Origin of Heaven and Earth, but at least in the Great Cataclysm eras I know, the beginning of each Great Cataclysm era will have traces of the earliest living beings."
At this point, the Evergreen Tree Ancestor glanced at the Dragon Ancestor, whose face was filled with shock, and continued, "And these primordial beings are very likely to be the same life."
Upon hearing this, the Dragon Ancestor was filled with turbulent emotions.
Were the first beings in every Great Cataclysm of time the same life?
How is this possible?
Didn't they say that when the Great Cataclysm ended, the universe would expel every chaotic life form?
Although some supreme beings in the universe speculate that the earliest life forms may have come from the Great Cataclysm of the past.
But it's ultimately just speculation.
There is no actual evidence.
Why is that?
"It was difficult for the Dragon Ancestor to say," he said.
There is no reason why.
The evergreen tree ancestor remained calm.
"In my view, this primordial being must have been a great temporal being from the time of origin of heaven and earth."
"Before the supreme rules of time shattered, he stepped into the river of time, flowing downstream, appearing at the very beginning of each new universe, that is, the era of creation, in search of something?"
"Or perhaps it's about strategic moves, or maybe it's about sensing a broken timeline where the supreme rule of time is being disrupted, and then traveling to the future to find a solution."
The Evergreen Tree Ancestor looked at the Dragon Ancestor, "He is a time-based being from the Origin Era. He does not belong to the present timeline, so every chaotic being who came into contact with this primordial being will quickly forget him."
Spacetime has an instinctive ability to repair itself. Even chaotic life forms, if they have not comprehended the supreme rule of time, will quickly forget any life forms or objects that do not belong to their own spacetime under the influence of spacetime.
The same applies to the Dragon Ancestor.
Unlike other chaotic beings, the Dragon Ancestor had once come into close contact with the primordial being, and the two even had a conversation. Therefore, the primordial being left a deep imprint on the Dragon Ancestor's soul.
This would slow down the Dragon Ancestor's forgetting process considerably.
In addition, he later left the Great Universe at the same time as Feng Zu.
Leaving the Great Universe further slowed down the Dragon Ancestor's forgetting process, because the Great Universe is the core of the boundless void and also the source of spacetime. As the Dragon Ancestor moved away from the Great Universe, the repair of spacetime would continuously weaken.
It was precisely because the Dragon Ancestor realized this that he did not immediately return to the Great Universe, but instead ventured into the boundless void, trying to recall more things related to the original beings.
"Now, do you still intend to remember that first being?"
The Evergreen Tree Ancestor looked at the Dragon Ancestor, his tone carrying a hint of something inexplicable, "I do have methods to help you recall to some extent the memories that were forgotten due to the repair of time and space, but remembering a time being is not a good thing."
"Perhaps in the very instant you remember, you become the 'anchor' for that being of time to descend into your present time and space, your own existence is erased, and you become the vessel for that being of time."
The Evergreen Tree Ancestor looked at the Dragon Ancestor with a profound expression.
"Now, do you still want to remember?"
