I have to say, Zhantai Ling’er’s words are really ambiguous!
What does she mean by “you should have some fun too”?
What kind of talk is that?
Seeing Ye Xuan suddenly perk up in a certain area, Zhantai Ling’er frowned, “Is that a physiological reaction?”
Ye Xuan said seriously, “It’s an instinctive reaction, nothing to do with my personal will!”
Clear the air quick!
Lust is a problem of the lower body, what’s it got to do with me, Ye Xuan?
Zhantai Ling’er glanced at him, “Are you going to stay like that?”
Ye Xuan was quiet for a moment, then said, “Can we change the topic? This one’s dangerous!”
Zhantai Ling’er said, “Fine! I want to train in your little tower for a while!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly, and with a thought, the little tower floated to Zhantai Ling’er, “Use it!”
Zhantai Ling’er looked at Ye Xuan, then entered the tower.
Inside, she glanced around and nodded approvingly, “Defies the heavens!”
She gave a thumbs-up, “Badass!”
The little tower: “…”
In the cleansing pool, Ye Xuan lay quietly, his whole body warm and extremely comfortable.
Half a month later, Ye Xuan, still in the pool, slowly opened his eyes. His soul and body had now fused!
He walked out slowly, stretched, and a slight smile curved his lips. His body, soul, and will had undergone earth-shattering changes.
He couldn’t quite pinpoint what had changed, but it felt like he’d been reborn!
Ye Xuan returned to the little tower, where Zhantai Ling’er was still cultivating.
After dressing, he approached her. She was refining some pure energy in her body.
Ye Xuan waited, and soon Zhantai Ling’er opened her eyes, looking at him, “Done?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Yes!”
Zhantai Ling’er studied his body for a moment, then smiled slightly, “Not bad! Now you can cultivate the Divine Knowledge Heart Method!”
Ye Xuan looked at her, “What’s the condition?”
Zhantai Ling’er laughed, “Human, you’re so direct, I like that!”
Ye Xuan was speechless.
Talking to you, can I afford not to be direct?
Zhantai Ling’er said, “My request isn’t hard. I just want to meet your sister, that’s all!”
Ye Xuan was silent for a moment, then said, “Fine, but not now. I can promise, when the time’s right, I’ll let you meet her!”
Zhantai Ling’er nodded, “Good!”
She opened her palm, and a thick ancient book floated to Ye Xuan.
He eagerly opened it, but froze.
He couldn’t understand it!
Ye Xuan looked at Zhantai Ling’er, who laughed, “Forgot! I need to translate it for you first!”
Ye Xuan said, “Can I learn your language?”
Zhantai Ling’er nodded, “Yes!”
She stepped forward, touched his forehead, and soon countless mysterious energies surged toward him.
Moments later, his mind was filled with countless pieces of information!
All the scripts of the Divine Knowledge Civilization!
Zhantai Ling’er withdrew her hand, smiling, “Done!”
Ye Xuan said solemnly, “Miss Zhantai, I’m curious about something, may I ask?”
Zhantai Ling’er nodded, “Go ahead!”
Ye Xuan said, “Why do you want to restart the universe?”
Zhantai Ling’er smiled, “Simple. Restarting the universe sacrifices countless beings not from our Divine Knowledge Civilization. The cosmic spiritual energy they consumed returns to the universe, giving it a rebirth! A reborn universe is very useful to us!”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “Destroy low-level civilizations’ universes to strengthen yourselves?”
Zhantai Ling’er looked at him, “In your human civilization, is this behaviour cruel?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
Zhantai Ling’er shook her head, “Your thinking hasn’t transcended the cosmic level, that’s not good! In this vast universe, there’s a survival rule: the strong eat the weak, higher civilizations consume lower ones. It’s very, very normal! Like in your human world, don’t you enslave livestock, eat their flesh? Do you feel cruel when eating them?”
Ye Xuan was silent.
Zhantai Ling’er smiled, “If one day our Divine Knowledge Civilization meets a higher one, we might be wiped out too! So, before that, we must do everything to strengthen ourselves, break our limits!”
Ye Xuan sighed inwardly.
The strong rule!
In higher civilization universes, it’s even more blatant!
Their kindness and goodwill are surely reserved for their own kind!
Ye Xuan turned to the sky wall, realizing he’d inadvertently saved the entire human universe again!
He pulled back his thoughts, then said, “I heard the sky wall was built by the Master of the Great Dao Pen. Do you know him too?”
Zhantai Ling’er smiled, “Yes! He’s the recognized Lord of the Universe, the entire universe, not just some part of it!”
The entire universe!
Ye Xuan was surprised, “That powerful?”
Zhantai Ling’er nodded, “Very powerful. He set the cosmic laws, and everyone follows them!”
Ye Xuan was puzzled, “What are the cosmic laws?”
Zhantai Ling’er explained, “The cosmic laws are three. The first is: the strong rule. In the vast universe, the strong dominate, that’s the first law!”
The strong rule!
Ye Xuan said gravely, “The second law?”
Zhantai Ling’er said, “The law of reincarnation. No cosmic civilization’s beings can live forever, lifespans are finite, and when that limit is reached, they enter reincarnation! Not just individuals, but civilizations too. Once they reach a certain point, they’re destroyed in reincarnation, and new, stronger civilizations arise!”
Ye Xuan said, “No civilizations resist?”
Zhantai Ling’er shook her head, “Some do, but none can beat him!”
She glanced around quietly, then said, “I heard the only way to defeat the Master of the Great Dao Pen is to enter the Void True World!”
The Void True World!
Ye Xuan froze!
When his dad came to him before, he mentioned going to a place, the Void True World!
Was his dad off to challenge the Master of the Great Dao Pen?
If his dad got killed, he might inherit some good stuff!
Thinking this, Ye Xuan shivered!
No way to think like that!
He’s a filial son!
That’s his real dad, his real dad…
Zhantai Ling’er added, “Is your sword and little tower made by the Master of the Great Dao Pen?”
Ye Xuan shook his head, “No!”
Zhantai Ling’er looked at him, then said, “Alright! Let me tell you about the third law, the law of fate, the most mysterious of the three!”
Ye Xuan said, “Can you explain?”
Zhantai Ling’er said, “The law of fate: cosmic beings are born with their own destinies. Fate is fixed, like all beings will die someday, that’s fixed. In cultivators’ eyes, it’s a tribulation! But luck is variable, the opportunities and fortunes gained in cultivation are luck, variables that affect one’s fate!”
She paused, then continued, “Fate is the most complex and mysterious law in the universe. So far, no civilization has truly mastered its own fate! There’s a saying in the universe: any civilization or being claiming to have mastered fate is ignorant, like a frog in a well.”
Ye Xuan was silent.
He was shocked, but more so helpless!
He finally understood why Qing’er often said to him, “You’ll understand later!”
Qing’er knew so much, she understood his current level!
If she said more, would he get it?
Definitely not!
Sigh!
Ye Xuan sighed inwardly.
Zhantai Ling’er said, “These are the known three cosmic laws. To survive in this universe, you basically follow them, willingly or not, because that’s the universe’s survival rule.”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “I know the sky wall was built by the Master of the Great Dao Pen to protect that universe, right?”
Zhantai Ling’er nodded, “Yes!”
Ye Xuan was puzzled, “Then why dare you go restart it?”
Zhantai Ling’er smiled, “Because the law’s power on the wall has vanished!”
Ye Xuan frowned, “Vanished?”
Zhantai Ling’er nodded, “Yes! With the law’s power gone, we can cross!”
Ye Xuan was silent.
This must be the Master of the Great Dao Pen’s doing!
Zhantai Ling’er smiled, “Don’t worry, until we confirm your sister’s from a higher civilization, we won’t destroy your universe!”
Ye Xuan looked at her, “I should thank you!”
Zhantai Ling’er laughed, “You’re welcome!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Zhantai Ling’er added, “But some in my clan don’t like you!”
Ye Xuan was puzzled, “Why?”
Zhantai Ling’er said, “Because I vouched for you, it annoyed a lot of them. They think you’re a low-level civilization being, not deserving of such treatment!”
She sighed softly, “Every civilization has idiots, ours too! Think about it, if your sister is really from a higher civilization, killing you would bring big trouble!”
Ye Xuan said, “You’re right to think that way!”
Zhantai Ling’er nodded slightly, “Yes! I think, with low-level civilization beings, no need to reason, just wipe them out! But if they might be from a higher civilization, we should reason!”
Ye Xuan said, “If you can beat them, use fists! If not, use reason, right?”
Zhantai Ling’er nodded eagerly, “Yes, yes! That’s exactly it… wait, you think like this too? We’re really on the same wavelength!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
