Chapter 717 Defects
"Brother Yuan, you're not lying to me?" Chen Yuan asked repeatedly, "Does the Primordial World really possess the characteristic of immortality?"
It's still in its early stages of development.
"I can only say the probability is very high."
Yuan explained, "As I just said, immortality has nothing to do with the amount of energy, but is linked to mysterious places."
"Mysterious lands vary in size. Some smaller mysterious lands, such as Time Star, contain less primordial energy, yet still possess the characteristic of immortality."
"Therefore, any world that possesses two major characteristics—the highest level of power and special abilities—can be considered a mysterious place."
"Brother Chen, since your source world meets the two requirements, even if it has not yet reached its peak, it has most likely already mastered the ability of immortality."
Upon hearing Yuan say this, Chen Yuan immediately showed an excited expression. The invincible life-saving ability he had been dreaming of had appeared right before his eyes.
To be honest, even now he still feels a little unreal, as if he acquired this ability too easily.
But then I thought about it again. Gathering the three thousand original Daos was an extremely heaven-defying act, with extremely high difficulty. In the entire endless primordial space, apart from myself, I probably couldn't find another person who could do it.
From this perspective, it seems less unacceptable that his primordial world evolved into a mysterious place and that he possessed immortality.
However, at this moment, Yuan suddenly changed the subject: "Of course, this is the first time I've seen a man-made mysterious place, so I can't guarantee that it will be exactly the same as a naturally formed mysterious place."
"As for whether your source world is truly immortal, we'll probably have to test it out."
These words extinguished Chen Yuan's burning passion and brought him back to his senses.
Yes, Yuan Fang's conjectures all came from the naturally mysterious land, but his Primordial World was created by himself, and it was upgraded from the Source World.
Which other mysterious place in the entire Hunyuan Space has ever experienced such an event? If it's not naturally occurring, can a man-made mysterious place truly possess the characteristic of immortality?
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He had been looking forward to this ability for a long time, but reason told him that no one could verify the truth before the results came out.
Since it concerned his own life and safety, Chen Yuan naturally couldn't believe everything Yuan said. Just as the other party said, his past experience might not be accurate.
Chen Yuan let out a soft breath to calm himself down, then looked at Yuan and asked, "How do I conduct the test?"
"Could they be planning to attack the Primordial World?"
"Of course not," Yuan said with a smile. "Leaving aside the dangers of this method, just considering the vast amount of life your world nurtures, I simply couldn't bring myself to do it."
"Don't worry, there's no need to experiment on the entire world. Just take a wisp of the world's essence, and I'll have my own way of verifying its immortality."
Chen Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, saying, "That's easy."
As he spoke, he had already drawn a wisp of power from the origin of the world and handed it over: "Thank you for your trouble, Elder Brother."
"Hehe, no trouble at all."
Yuan accepted the wisp of origin with a smile, then delved into it with his consciousness to examine it carefully.
After a while.
"Congratulations, Brother Chen." Yuan dispersed the source energy from his fingertips and said with a smile, "This wisp of source energy does indeed contain extremely strong immortality."
"Theoretically speaking, no progenitor-level life form can completely destroy your source world—or rather, this mysterious place."
"And you, who have merged with the origin of the world, can be reborn with the help of the power of the mysterious land even if your body and soul are completely destroyed."
Chen Yuan was overjoyed: "That's wonderful!!"
He never imagined that he would actually master this long-desired ability.
Yuan also watched with a smile, and after Chen Yuan calmed down a bit, he continued, "However, Brother Chen, there is something I still need to remind you of."
Chen Yuan said solemnly, "Brother Yuan, please speak."
"You should know that your mystical land is still in the early stages of development, and its accumulated source energy is insufficient, at most comparable to ordinary source worlds."
"If I'm not mistaken, your world's origin is at most equivalent to a world-level perfection."
"Yes." Chen Yuan nodded.
World-class perfection—this is the fundamental strength of most source worlds. Generally, the upper limit for beings that fuse with the fundamental essence of such a world can only reach this level.
As for why Chen Yuan is only at the early stage of the world level—Yuan Gang just mentioned the reason: it is because the Primordial World itself is still in the growth stage, and most of its own origin needs to be used to supply itself, so it really cannot free up too much origin for this Lord of the Origin World to break through.
However, after merging with the origin of the world, Chen Yuan's life essence was indeed elevated to a world-class perfection. All he lacked was energy.
As long as he has enough energy, he can reach the perfect state without any bottlenecks.
That's why Chen Yuan was confident that he could cultivate to the world-class perfection level in just four thousand days; it was simply a matter of replenishing his energy.
Only after reaching the World-Class Perfection stage will his growth rate plummet, or even stagnate completely, until the size of the Primordial World increases once again.
Yuan said, "As you know, the gap between world-class and ancestral-class is enormous. Even a world-class perfection is nothing more than a casual strike from the ancestors."
Chen Yuan nodded again; of course he knew that.
"Therefore, even something as vast as the Origin World is utterly vulnerable before the Primordial Ancestor."
Yuan Shen said solemnly, "Although your world is immortal, a Primordial-level life form can still easily annihilate 99.99% of its origin."
"That's its flaw—it's too weak!"
"Once the world's origin is exhausted, even if one relies on immortality to reunite, it will still take a great deal of time. If you want to be reborn with the help of the world's origin, it will take an extremely long time."
"Not to mention, if the progenitor targets you specifically, he can easily suppress the reunification of the world's origin, which is equivalent to putting you into a permanent slumber with no chance of waking up."
Chen Yuan seemed to be deep in thought: "What Brother Yuan means is—"
"Just as you thought," Yuan said. "Even if you are immortal, do not provoke any progenitor-level life forms before your world reaches its peak."
"Otherwise, if the progenitor deliberately targets you, even if you don't die, you will fall into eternal slumber, which is essentially no different from death."
Chen Yuan took a deep breath: "Thank you for reminding me, I understand."
Indeed, just as Yuan said, even if he could be immortal thanks to the Primordial World, he should still not provoke any Primordial Ancestors unless the Primordial World was already capable of withstanding Ancestor-level attacks.
