Chapter 438 The Iceberg of Inheritance, Research on Divine Power
Chen Yuan didn't care about the impact of the annihilation of the Purple Moon Holy Land and the Divine Eye Clan's allied forces, because once the elite forces of these two sides were wiped out, they no longer posed any threat to him.
Yes, the fall of the six True Lords of the Divine Eye Clan represents not only the combat power of six True Gods, but also the clansmen protected by these six small universes.
When the miniature universe is destroyed, all life under its protection will perish along with it.
In other words, after the small universes of the six great gods were destroyed, at least 60-70% of the life of the God-Eye race disappeared, leaving only the First God as the sole survivor.
The once powerful clans have suffered a great loss of strength and have been reduced to ordinary people.
As a result of all this, Chen Yuan's reputation will spread far and wide with the decline of the Divine Eye Clan, making him a target that no race in the Cosmic Sea dares to provoke.
However, unlike the Divine Eye Clan, the Purple Moon Holy Land suffered greater losses in this battle, but it was not crippled.
After all, the Holy Land Universe has stood for countless cycles of reincarnation, and there are countless "quasi-universe masters" who have gained enough enlightenment, but they are unable to advance due to the limited number of slots.
This time, Chen Yuan eliminated nearly two hundred Universe Lords, which is equivalent to opening up a promotion channel for these people. Before long, the Universe Lord slots of the Purple Moon Holy Land will be full again.
Of course, even if the number of universe masters can be replenished, their quality will certainly not be comparable to before.
These newly promoted universe masters may not reach the first tier due to their abundant resources, but they can basically only linger at the second or third tier. It is unknown how many reincarnation eras it will take to restore their peak glory.
"And the only fallen True God of Awakening," now that all the elites have been lost, the Purple Moon Holy Land can hardly find another ninth-order True God, let alone advance to the next level.
Because of this battle, almost all the powerful universe lords of the Purple Moon Holy Land perished, and there was simply no suitable candidate to be found.
According to Chen Yuan's estimation, even if the Purple Moon Holy Land is not as severely weakened as the Divine Eye Clan this time, it will probably be difficult for it to pose any threat to him for a long time.
Therefore, after annihilating the combined forces of the two races, Chen Yuan paid no attention to their subsequent actions. Instead, with a thought, he teleported back to the original universe.
Virtual Universe Company, the Initial Universe.
Chen Yuan appeared silently in Chaos City and went directly to the Chaos Ruins where the City Lord of Chaos City was in seclusion.
When he revealed himself, the Chaos City Lord, who was cultivating, was startled. As one of the controllers of the primordial universe, he hadn't even noticed someone approaching him.
Fortunately, he breathed a sigh of relief after realizing it was Chen Yuan, and then laughed, "I was wondering who could hide from my senses. You gave me quite a fright. It was you."
"Chen Yuan, why aren't you cultivating properly on the Tomb Ship? What are you doing here?"
Ninety years ago, after Chen Yuan unified the primordial universe, he explained to the high-ranking members of the human race that his true form was still on the Tomb Ship, preparing to go into seclusion to cultivate the Broken East River inheritance.
It hasn't even been a hundred years yet, and the human race's powerful figures haven't made much progress in researching those basic inheritances, let alone the core inheritance that Chen Yuan is cultivating. Naturally, the Chaos City Lord doesn't think that the other party can complete the cultivation in such a short time.
But he forgot that Chen Yuan's cultivation speed was beyond reason and could not be generalized.
"I've finished my cultivation, so there's no need for me to linger there any longer."
Chen Yuan shook his head.
"What?" The Chaos City Lord was taken aback. "It hasn't even been a hundred years, has it? You finished your seclusion so quickly?"
That's too fast. Even an Immortal's seclusion would take far longer than this.
But then the Lord of Chaos thought again that Chen Yuan had only been cultivating for a few thousand years, which showed how strong his talent was. It seemed reasonable that he could finish his comprehension after 90 years of seclusion.
Well, he was still speechless, after all, this kind of cultivation speed was really shocking to his worldview.
"Wait a minute." He suddenly realized, "Wasn't the Tomb Ship jointly sealed off by the two holy lands and the Divine Eye Clan? How did you break through the blockade and return?"
"This one?"
Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Let me correct something first. It's not two great holy lands. Only the Purple Moon Holy Land and the Divine Eye Clan are still here. The people from the Eastern Emperor Holy Land left on their own initiative."
"Finally, here's how I got back—it's actually very simple: I killed everyone, and then no one could stop me."
"————" The Lord of Chaos City remained silent.
After a long pause, he finally managed to utter, "Kill everyone? Including the true god?"
Chen Yuan nodded.
"hiss."
The Chaos City Lord gasped. Even if the people from the Eastern Emperor Holy Land were not there, there were still seven True Gods. Moreover, the leading True God of Awakening was no less powerful than the Giant Axe, and the remaining nearly two hundred Universe Lords were all formidable.
Unexpectedly, so many powerful individuals were so easily defeated in front of Chen Yuan.
"Alright." The Lord of Chaos City shook his head helplessly.
He had figured it out. The methods of this newly crowned ruler of the universe were far beyond his comprehension. Therefore, he only needed to know the general outline of Chen Yuan's future actions and it was best not to delve into their rationality.
Otherwise, his worldview will continue to be challenged.
"Let's get back to the main topic," the Chaos City Lord asked. "Now that you've finished your seclusion, there shouldn't be any need for you to come to Chaos City, right? It seems you have other matters to discuss?"
"That's right."
Chen Yuan nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Regarding the basic inheritance I brought back last time, the progress of human cultivation in recent years must not have been good, right?"
"Uh, not good?" The Chaos City Lord blinked. Less than a hundred years have passed, so it should be normal that there has been no progress.
But seeing Chen Yuan's expression, he still nodded: "Indeed, most people have only grasped a little bit of the basics, and haven't even gotten to the beginning."
"That's why I came back."
Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "Actually, there are three hundred icebergs inside the Tomb Ship, corresponding to three hundred cultivation routes, which can guide those who have cultivated the basic inheritance."
"The effect is similar to that of the Chaos Monument on the comprehension of laws."
"Oh!" The Chaos City Lord's eyes lit up. "You mean, those fundamental inheritances also have corresponding Chaos Steles?"
Chen Yuan nodded and then said, "After thinking it over, the safest place for the human race is either the initial universe or the small universe of the giant axe. However, there are too many people there. In comparison, Chaos City is much quieter and more suitable for containing these icebergs."
"Peace and quiet—" Chaos City Master opened his mouth, wanting to say that if it weren't for the prevalence of the Primordial Secret Records, Chaos City wouldn't have become an existence that everyone avoids like the plague.
But in the end, he kept quiet, because the Primordial Secret Records hadn't lied. Chaos City was indeed not a good place for those humans who aspired to break through to the Venerable Realm or even become the Lord of the Universe.
Leaving aside the old problems like the slow flow of time and the errors in the laws, even the only useful Chaos Stele has become irrelevant due to the emergence of the "virtual universe cultivation space".
Gradually, human powerhouses stopped entering Chaos City, and the place naturally became quiet.
but----
"You want to place all these inherited icebergs within Chaos City?" the Chaos City Lord asked.
"Yes."
Chen Yuan nodded and said, "Perfect timing. Chaos City has been relatively quiet lately, so we can clear out an area to store these icebergs."
"Those immortals and cosmic lords are not suited to stay here for long, but the cosmic lords don't care, since they didn't come here to comprehend the laws anyway."
The Lord of Chaos City nodded. Indeed, for the Lords of the Universe, their laws were already perfected, and the initial universe could not affect them.
In that case, wouldn't it be perfect to study and inherit the Iceberg in one of the only two safe places for humans?
"Oh, right, and the flow of time."
Chen Yuan asked, "Since the Primordial Ancestor's avatar is already traveling outside, shouldn't the Initial Universe be able to continue evolving?"
"Yes," said the Lord of Chaos City. "Our teacher has indeed begun to promote the evolution of the primordial universe, but he is only an avatar after all, and his connection with the primordial universe is not that close."
"So although the initial universe has changed somewhat over the years, it is still far from being a complete small universe. The teacher said that it would take tens of thousands of epochs to complete its evolution."
After a pause, the Lord of Chaos City continued, "However, regarding the flow of time, the teacher has readjusted it. Now, the flow of time here is completely consistent with the original universe, but it cannot be accelerated like a small universe."
"Alright, that's enough for now. It's just a temporary measure anyway."
Chen Yuan shook his head. "Let's leave these icebergs here for now."
"A stopgap measure?" the Chaos City Lord asked疑惑地, "Do you have other plans?"
"Initially, I wanted to replicate these icebergs in a virtual universe."
Chen Yuan spoke frankly: "However, the essence of these icebergs is quite advanced. Currently, the computing power of the virtual universe is insufficient, and it will require the terminal core to evolve."
Yes, these traditions, though fundamental, contain intricate details ranging from immortality to the ultimate limit of true godhood.
Even though Ireil has exceptional computing power, she is only at the level of a universe master, so replicating these inheritances would be quite difficult for her.
One or two is manageable, but to reproduce three hundred at once is truly beyond her capabilities.
Therefore, after understanding the situation, Chen Yuan temporarily abandoned this plan and prepared to place these icebergs in Chaos City so that human experts could study them first.
"I see." After listening to Chen Yuan's explanation, the Chaos City Lord nodded and said, "Then let's leave these icebergs in Chaos City. I will inform the higher-ups of the human race about this."
"This is troublesome." Chen Yuan took out three hundred towering icebergs and placed them on the Chaos Ruins.
The Chaos City Lord stared at the icebergs with shining eyes. He knew that he had been studying the basic inheritance of the Broken East River over the years, and these icebergs contained a route that was suitable for him!
Thinking that being in a good position, the Lord of Chaos put away the icebergs and planned to clear out an area in the Lord's Mansion to house them.
As for now, he has already created an avatar and arrived at the iceberg that is perfectly compatible with his lineage of inheritance, to begin his comprehension.
"Don't worry, I'll handle it."
The Lord of Chaos City solemnly stated that after his avatar began to comprehend the mystery, he had come to a profound understanding of the importance of these icebergs.
"Hmm." Chen Yuan nodded, looking quite relaxed. He was fairly confident in the Chaos City Lord's strength.
"Now that this matter is settled, I'm preparing to return and begin the next stage of my cultivation."
Chen Yuan said, "If you need to find me, just say so in the virtual universe, and I can get back quickly."
"Okay." The Lord of Chaos City nodded. As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yuan disappeared from his sight, just as elusive as when he came.
Shaking his head, the Chaos City Lord stopped dwelling on the strangeness surrounding Chen Yuan and instead sent a message: "Teacher, Giant Axe, Chen Yuan just came by regarding the matter of the Broken East River inheritance—"
Just as the Lord of Chaos City was reporting to the Primordial Ancestor and the others, Chen Yuan's figure had already silently appeared inside the Primordial Tower.
"I never imagined that the inheritance of the Broken East River would be delayed for so long."
Inside the thirty-third space, Chen Yuan gazed at the mountain of world rings and couldn't help but sigh.
He had delayed for too long, so long that the research materials related to the "divine power routes" collected for him by various races in the primordial universe had filled the three dimensions, forcing him to switch to using the World Ring to store them.
"The primordial universe, and even most of the life-giving materials of the cosmic ocean, are all here."
Chen Yuan silently thought to himself, "The essence of the divine power path is to study the genes of life," gradually breaking through the limits of one's own genes by understanding the essence of various life forms.
"And in gene research, I have three major advantages!"
He was fully aware of this.
"First, I have a research path that is perfectly suited to me after system optimization, which allows me to smoothly improve to the level of a divine body of 90,000 times, which is the level of an infinite divine body."
He had already optimized this part, but he had been lacking materials. Now, 90 years later, the various races of the primordial universe had collected materials of various life forms for him, so everything was ready.
"Secondly, I possess the Primordial Eye, which can analyze the essence of all things! The Primordial Hand, which creates all things!"
"The Primordial Eye, combined with the computing power of the virtual universe, allows me to understand the basic forms of various substances more quickly. The Primordial Hand can also create any substance that does not possess life characteristics, which can greatly save me the time of collecting materials."
To study divine power, one must not only study the essence of all kinds of life, but also include all kinds of inanimate objects.
However, with the Primordial Hand, he could create any inanimate object out of thin air, which is why he only collected various life materials.
"The third one is the creative talent possessed by my Nether Sea clone."
This creation is different from the creation of matter by the Primordial Hand; the Nether Sea Avatar's talent is to create life!
After he has finished studying all the materials, if he wants to continue his research, he can only rely on the innate secret techniques of the Nine Nether Sea to create life in various forms. This is also a kind of research on the genes of life!
In the original story, Luo Feng relied on the creative talent of the Nine Nether Sea to break the limit of divine power and create a divine body ten thousand times stronger, which was a perfect divine body comparable to a fully-formed world beast!
It was thanks to this divine body that Luo Feng's cultivation went smoothly after entering the Origin Continent, and he even had the advantage of having an extra material path compared to others in battle.
Although it's possible to reach the end without a perfect divine body, it's certainly not as smooth as it would be with a perfect divine body, so Chen Yuan definitely won't give up on this path.
"I possess three major advantages, which far exceed the various opportunities that Luo Feng had in the original story."
Chen Yuan thought to himself, "I refuse to believe that a mere Perfect Divine Body can stump me."
"Anyway, the era of reincarnation is still far from over, so I'm not in a hurry at all. I can take my time to study it."
Of course, things must be done step by step. Although Chen Yuan has set long-term goals, he still needs to focus on the present.
"Well, let's take it slow. Let's set a small goal for ourselves first."
Chen Yuan thought for a moment: "Let's go with the 90,000-fold Divine Body! After achieving the Infinite Divine Body, we can then study how to break through the limits and achieve perfection."
With a systematic approach, achieving the Infinite Divine Body is no challenge for him. As long as he puts in the effort, he can grind his genes to 90,000 times their normal level.
As for what happens after 90,000 times, he will need to research it himself, because the "Perfect Divine Body" has essentially reached the limit of the source world, and the system's current computing power is not yet able to optimize a suitable route.
"The Dark Sea Avatar will remain stationary for now. The main body will use the Primordial Eye to analyze all the materials and complete the Infinite Divine Body first."
.
"Once the infinite body is achieved and all the materials are used up, we will need the creative talent of the Nether Sea Avatar to research new directions for life."
Chen Yuan quickly made a decision, realizing that this was the only viable path.
The materials contributed by the primordial universe alone cannot surpass the limits; the upper limit has been locked.
Only by creating things that do not belong to the original universe can there be a glimmer of hope to break the limits, and no one knows how many things need to be created to reach the standard.
Based on information from the original work, Chen Yuan speculated that Luo Feng's ability to develop the perfect divine body was partly due to luck, and that having creative talent did not guarantee success.
The reason is that before Luo Feng became a perfect divine body, his genetic level was still stuck at 89999 times, and he had never even reached the stage of an infinite divine body.
"It can only be said that he is indeed the chosen one and the protagonist of the era. He can complete the life structure diagram with a single stroke, and it is a perfect structure."
Even if I could replicate Luo Feng's path, I couldn't guarantee that I would achieve the same result.
Ultimately, it still depends on your own efforts.
Chen Yuan was also helpless about this. It was impossible to rely on luck. Fortunately, with the help of the system, he could at least make his journey a little smoother.
As for this task that even the system couldn't complete, I'll just consider it a challenge on my path of cultivation.
