Chapter 3185: Crossing Through a Myriad Worlds
“Of course, but before that, there’s something else that I need to do.” Jian Chen stood in the air. He gazed towards the Tian Yuan Continent and lifted his hand slowly, bringing it across space softly.
Immediately, the laws of the world pulsed violently. A terrifying power well beyond what it could resist had disturbed it. As a result, none of the laws of the world could operate normally.
By now, Jian Chen had already merged his soul with the world, resonating with the ways of the world. At this moment, his will seemed to surpass everything in the world, such that the fates of everything in the world was at his whim.
Under this state, none of the living organisms born in this world possessed any secrets in his eyes. Not only could he see everything that each creature had experienced, he could even deduce their pasts and futures.
The Tian Yuan Continent was a low-level world after all. With Jian Chen’s cultivation as a Chaotic Prime, he was obviously omnipotent here.
However, Jian Chen did not direct his attention to any of the creatures in this world. A completely different sight of the Tian Yuan Continent was presented before him right now. The countless lives and occurrences happening throughout the entire world rapidly receded in his eyes.
A thousand years…
Ten thousand years…
Several tens of thousand years…
Several hundred thousand years…
At this moment, it was as if he had pressed down on a rewind button. Everything in the world rapidly receded at an unbelievable rate.
Very soon, Jian Chen saw the Tian Yuan Continent from a million years ago. As a matter of fact, he could even peer into times before that.
Finally, at three million years ago when Shui Yunlan arrived in this world, Jian Chen became incapable of looking back any further.
Shui Yunlan had the Ice Goddess’s support, so the ancient history of this world had been erased a long time ago. With Jian Chen’s current strength, he obviously could not look past here.
However, his primary objective was not to study the ancient history of this world, but to find ten souls that had arrived here a million years ago and did not belong to this world.
“I’ve finally found you.” Very soon, ten figures appeared in the ancient landscape of the Tian Yuan Continent.
Among the ten figures, three of them were Yang Lie, Guihai Yidao, and Feng Xiaotian!
After a series of calculations, a large amount of information regarding the ten of them immediately surged into his head. He could even see the lives and worlds they had been through with each cycle of reincarnation.
Without any exaggeration, including Yang Lie, everything they had been through in this world was completely presented before his eyes, without any secrets remaining.
However, Jian Chen did not pay too much attention to what they had been through during their lives. He locked onto the other seven firmly. With a thought, the laws of the world immediately changed slightly. It seemed like he had forcefully written some of the laws.
Jian Chen opened his eyes slowly and smiled faintly.
“Certain laws of this world have changed again. Jian Chen, what did you do this time?” Shangguan Mu’er could clearly sense the difference, so she asked Jian Chen curiously.
“Nothing much. I just made the seven people that my great grandfather is waiting for return a little sooner. If nothing goes wrong, they’ll proceed to the Saints’ World within a few centuries to a thousand years at most.” At this moment, Jian Chen was filled with a sense of peace. When he thought about how he had created a cove in the Saints’ World that could shelter everyone from the wind and rain, providing an optimal cultivation environment for his acquaintances, he was filled with a sense of satisfaction.
At the very least, when the people of his homeland went to the Saints’ World, they would not have to risk their lives and struggle to the death over some pitiful amount of resources like he had when he had first arrived.
There was even less need for them to worry about ending up in some random place and causing trouble that could get them killed over some petty matters.
Currently, no one dared to provoke the Tian Yuan clan on the Cloud Plane. Even the peak clans that stood at the apex were their closest allies.
“There are many places that I can’t peer into on the Tian Yuan Continent, but there’s nothing strange about that. After all, the Ice Goddess and the Anatta Tower have both been connected to this place before.”
“Mu’er, c’mon, let’s go and find Aojian!”
Jian Chen and Shangguam Mu’er left this world. They travelled through the overlapping lower worlds, passing through boundaries after boundaries. They witnessed an array of unique worlds and saw countless races and a myriad different lifeforms.
But without any exception, Shangguan Aojian had left his tracks in all the worlds that Jian Chen passed through. These tracks were perhaps places where he had passed through, or places where he had stopped temporarily.
Under his personal calculations as a Chaotic Prime, coupled with their connection as father and son, every single path Shangguan Aojian had taken and every world he had passed through was as clear as day to Jian Chen.
Before long, Jian Chen stopped in a devastated world. The world had clearly experienced a destructive battle that had almost reached the critical point, almost collapsing the world by force.
In that world, Jian Chen could sense many familiar presences. Not only was there Shangguan Aojian’s, but there were also traces of many acquaintances like the great elder of Mercenary City, Tian Jian.
“Xiao Bao actually encountered an opponent his equal here. With his strength at Godhood, he’s already invincible in the lower worlds, so how did he encounter someone that could match him?” Shangguan Mu’er furrowed her brows as she became deeply worried and concerned.
But very soon, she seemed to sense something, and she immediately began to panic. “No, I sense a presence from Xiao Bao’s blood. He’s actually been injured? How can he be injured with his strength? D-don’t tell me it’s someone from a higher world?”
As a mother, Shangguan Mu’er obviously doted on her child. Overcome by irrationality, she immediately thought of the most terrifying consequence and became panic-stricken. She began peering into the past as well.
“Don’t worry, Aojian was fine. He just sustained some scratches,” Jian Chen said indifferently. He had already peered into the past of the world. He extended a finger, and an image immediately appeared in Shangguan Mu’er’s head.
“A unique race was born in this world. Not only were they powerful, but they also rounded up humans as livestock and fed off them. Aojian led the Origin realm experts of our world into a great battle against that race here.”
“Originally, that race stood no chance at all, but in their final moments, their leader devoured his entire race, several billion in total, allowing his strength to surpass the limit temporarily and reach Godhood. That was why he could put up a fight against Aojian,” Jian Chen said slowly.
Shangguan Mu’er also saw the image that Jian Chen had sent her, so she immediately calmed down.
The battle in the image was Shangguan Aojian unleashing unparalleled strength as he beat his opponent to the point where he basically could not fight back at all. In the end, he forced the leader who had devoured his entire race to obtain the battle prowess of a Godhood cultivator into detonating himself.
The power of the detonation only caused Shangguan Aojian some light injuries.
Jian Chen and Shangguan Mu’er continued along Shangguan Aojian’s tracks and passed through many more lower worlds. In the end, they arrived on a plate of land that drifted through the sea of stars.
The plate was clearly a damaged fragment. It was littered with ruins and ditches. It was as ruined as it could be.
“This fragment of a continent doesn’t belong to the lower worlds.” Shangguan Mu’er stared at the fragment fixedly and became stern.
