The Void Outside the Worlds

The Void ship moved extremely quickly and before they knew it they were traveling above the clouds, Wang Wei looked down towards the Shengman continent getting smaller and smaller as they were flying higher.

After a few seconds of them flying higher and higher, they left the realm and he finally had the opportunity to see the entire world, it was extremely strange to see that the world they were previously on didn't look like a planet, it was, in fact, a gigantic plane encased in a dome with the sun and moon imprinted on it.

All higher realms carried their own uniqueness and looked completely distinct from one another, unlike the lower realms that only took the shape of planets.

For example, the Celestial Wang realm looked like a flat plane encased in a dome but another higher realm might just look like a giant planet.

And after a few more seconds of flying the gigantic plane strangely disappeared and what replaced it was a giant mass of black, even the light of other suns that were behind it disappeared.

What Wang Wei was currently looking at was in fact a phenomenon of the Great Dao that scientists from his previous life might call a black hole, but it is in fact a higher realm.

Because according to the Great Dao rules every time a lower realm was promoted a very violent phenomenon occurs where the sun of the lower realm collapses in on itself, and in the process, it swallows the entire solar system also know as the lower realm with it.

Finally, in the center of the collapsed star, a new higher realm will get conceived and Qi will be introduced into the new world as well as a new Heavenly Will being born.

Then the Heavenly Will creates a protective shield that gives it the black color with only Deification realm experts being able to penetrate it to enter or exit the realm.

But if a lower realm fails to promote to a higher realm, the collapsed star will explode creating the phenomenon Earth scientists called a supernova.

And the way the higher realm is maintained is by attracting and finally devouring the lower realms and asteroids around it.

Then the higher realm transforms that devoured matter into its own energy that is used to maintain its functions and generate its Qi, and that is the reason for the formations of galaxies.

All of this was described in the book left behind by the Dao-Ancestor of the Wang family and Wang Wei was truly shocked when he found out about it because the book finally explained to him why the lower realms were unaware of the existence of higher realms.

And what just happened was that they finally exited the protective barrier of the higher realm and truly entered the endless void.

They flew through the endless void for a couple of more minutes but in that time they passed by countless lower realms and that lead Wang Wei to finally realize just how small he truly was and his desire to reach Enlightenment was like a roaring fire within his heart before he controlled himself and suppressed his emotions.

But just as he was reminiscing about his role in the universe, his head suddenly felt as if it was about to explode and the very fabric of the void rippled, but before any permanent damage could be done to the Void ship his father disappeared from the throne.

Before reappearing outside in the endless void and gently stretching out his hand, as soon as the hand fully extended the void rippled. And in front of his father appeared a grotesque creature the size of an entire lower realm with its whole body being made out of tentacles, merely looking at the creature caused his eyes to burn and a splitting pain assaulted his head.

The finger on Wang Qian's hand just pointed ahead and in front of it appeared an enormous giant the size of two lower realms, it looked like the ancient god Pangu its eyes were made out of the water, its hair was made out of trees, and its body was made out of the earth itself.

The giant was holding in his hand a spear made out of the fire that looked like it was taken from a star and before any of them could react it thrust out its spear towards the creature.

The void itself cracked as space was torn asunder and the only thing the creature could do was twitch in pain as it died.

Wang Wei's father just waved his hand and the corpse was stored away in his spatial ring before he reappeared once again inside the Void ship.

The reason Wang Qian took the corpse was that each such corpse of a Void beast was extremely valuable and could even be used to craft a Heaven ranked artifact.

This was Wang Wei's first time seeing a battle between such powerful cultivators, before he could barely imagine people flying without the help of technology and now he saw cultivators capable of destroying an entire planet.

He was extremely shocked and terrified that such monsters could exist out there in the universe and his will was deeply shaken, but he was a Buddhist monk in his past life so instead of continuing to stare out into the universe with nothing to do.

He spent the remaining travel time stabilizing his will, making it even firmer than before, and meditating on the teachings of the Buddha.

To be exact he spent 20 hours in meditation before he was alerted by his father that they were arriving in front of the Inheritance Realm.

When Wang Wei looked around and with the advanced eyesight that he got by being a physical cultivator he was able to see that they were at the very edge of the galaxy that was formed around their higher realm.

He looked around and finally saw a gigantic gate the size of 10 lower realms stacked on top of each other floating in the endless void seemingly leading to nothing.
