At the foot of the Green Mountain, within the Cave Mansion.
Chen Mu sat cross-legged, with the Void Dao exhibited by the Fan Gu Divine Monarch echoing incessantly in his mind.
His understanding of the Void Dao was nearly identical to that of the Fan Gu Divine Monarch, who also chose the four mystical concepts of aggregation, overlap, extension, and infinite as his direction for fusion. However, their understanding of the void differed significantly.
The Fan Gu Divine Monarch’s understanding was that this vast universe, the myriad realms, could in itself be regarded as a plete world.
Worlds are one and also many; no matter how they overlap, extend, or split, essentially, they form a grander world, with this world’s center being the Primordial Domain.
But with Chen Mu, it was entirely different. Chen Mu believed that in this vast universe, the myriad realms, there was no so-called ’center’; the Endless Void extends from one point and returns to one point, and has always been within this ’one point’.
In fact, Chen Mu was unsure if his idea was more accurate since he had never seen the Primordial Domain. Judging from the Void Dao demonstrated by the Fan Gu Divine Monarch, perhaps the Fan Gu Divine Monarch had been to the Primordial Domain and had seen it with his own eyes!
At the very least, from the Void Dao displayed by the Fan Gu Divine Monarch, Chen Mu roughly glimpsed the embryo of the Primordial Domain. Actually, reaching his current realm, Chen Mu had gathered much information about the Primordial Domain, yet he had not seen it personally.
The Primordial Domain.
Different from all other space domains.
In general, a space domain contains three thousand great realms, countless middle realms, and small realms, as numerous as the sands in the Ganges. However, in the Primordial Domain, there is only one realm, named the Origin Realm!
It can be said that the Origin Realm is the Primordial Domain itself, and the Primordial Domain is also the Origin Realm, a vast world beyond imagination, grand and magnificent, even surpassing remote domains like the Fan Gu Ancient Domain!
The methods of the Fan Gu Divine Monarch rely precisely on the Primordial Domain.
His ultimate move, with heaven as the boundary and earth as the domain, resembles a simulated projection of the Primordial Domain!
Chen Mu, however, was different.
The ultimate move he created, ’Universe,’ was based on one point, an infinitely extending Wu Liang Star River, constructed with the Void Dao he had prehended, forming the prototype of the ’universe’ in his mind.
Clearly, in terms of vastness, he wasn’t sure which was more expansive, the starry sky universe from his past life or the Endless Void in his current life, but the difference in nature between these two universes was profound.
As a result, Chen Mu was also uncertain which idea or path, his or Fan Gu’s, was right, but this didn’t prevent him from understanding the path Fan Gu walked and deriving his insights from it, thus gaining more experience in the Void Dao.
Regardless of his ideas or the path he walked, the system panel would ultimately reveal the most prehensive Void Dao to him, guiding him to the end of this great Dao, so regardless of the process or deviations, Chen Mu was never restrained.
Time is vast,
The universe changes.
In the blink of an eye, thirty-three epochs passed.
For a Divine Monarch’s existence, the span of time is often calculated in epochs, and for the Divine Monarch Dominators of the Eighth Layer Heaven, one period of seclusion could easily span tens or hundreds of epochs, which was quite ordinary.
Since Chen Mu displayed the methods of the Eighth Layer Heaven Limit and resolved a crisis in Molten Fire City, the rules of Molten Fire City no longer applied to him, and he no longer needed to patrol or guard the city to earn enough ’watch time’.
Strength determines status.
Possessing the strength of the Eighth Layer Heaven Limit in Molten Fire City equates to the position of Deputy City Lord, and in the Flame Sun Association, it equates to the position of Deputy Chairman. Being able to temporarily resist the power of a Ninth Layer Heaven Abyss Beast is akin to being the Sea Calming Divine Needle of the Flame Sun Association, the foundation of its existence.
Naturally, it was no longer necessary for him to carry out daily patrols and city guarding, just like the Flame Sun Divine Monarch, who only acted when Molten Fire City faced significant troubles that the patrolling and city-guarding Divine Monarchs couldn’t handle.
During these thirty-three epochs, Molten Fire City remained very stable, encountering no troubles or crises.
And Chen Mu’s Divine Power True Body stayed in seclusion within his own Cave Mansion throughout.
The only episode during this time was the Flame Sun Divine Monarch sending him a message once, informing him that there was no trace of Ming Fan and the Demon Ancestor at least among the various forces in the Molten Lava Cave area.
On hearing this, Chen Mu was slightly taken aback but not too surprised, as not everyone is foolish. Given that Ming Fan and the Demon Ancestor identified him as the reincarnation of a Ninth Layer Heaven Divine Monarch, they believed as long as nothing unexpected happened, he would likely return to the Ninth Layer Heaven in the future.
Even if this time span might be long, possibly requiring tens to hundreds of tribulations, once Chen Mu truly returned to the Ninth Layer Heaven, staying in the Molten Lava Cave, joining any faction, would not shield them.
Evidently,
Ming Fan and the Demon Ancestor understood this point very well, which explains why they never attempted to join forces within the Molten Lava Cave. Currently, they most likely have ventured to other areas of the Abyss of Eternity, possibly joining factions there, or they might’ve collaborated and lived cautiously without joining any faction, continuing to survive in the Abyss of Eternity.
If these two do not join any factions and only collaborate with caution, finding them would indeed be challenging. Even if he achieved the Ninth Layer Heaven, locating these two would not be easy, so after a brief consideration, Chen Mu set the matter aside.
