Chapter Four: The Tremor Across the Multiverse!

Accompanied by the voiceover, a cerulean planet emerged upon the luminous screen. The camera gradually zoomed in. Here, cities with towering skyscrapers stretched endlessly, and people jostled each other, with strangers interacting everywhere. This was a stark contrast to the primordial wilderness and the guarded demeanor among cultivators in the Savage Era.

 

Within a hospital. On the thirteenth floor, a young man around thirty, seated in a wheelchair, gazed intently through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows at the ground below. After an indeterminate period, the young man exhaled softly. His hands, veins bulging, gripped the wheelchair's arms with all his might. Despite his efforts, he fell from the chair and plummeted toward the floor… The scene abruptly cut off, shifting instantly from the cerulean planet to Li Changshou in the Savage Era.

 

"…What does this mean? Is there a connection between these two scenes?" Many cultivators across the myriad realms were yet to grasp the true significance of these images. However, some seasoned experts, linking the previous voiceover, already understood. With a nod and a flicker of realization, they pondered, "Who is this Li Changshou? To be able to reincarnate and retain his memories…" In the myriad realms, reincarnation and the cycle of rebirth were governed by the supreme laws of the unfeeling, impersonal Heavenly Dao. Ordinary cultivators who could encounter reincarnation were already exceptional among countless others. Moreover, how did he know the developmental trajectory of the Savage Era world if his previous life's world bore no relation to this one? As these questions arose, Li Changshou's aura of mystery among the great powers of the realms intensified.

 

…In the Dou Qi Continent. Amidst the howling sandstorms of an endless desert, a young man clad in a black robe, carrying a massive ruler, gazed up at the enormous luminous screen. "Another fortunate soul from Blue Star, perhaps? Yet, from his surroundings, it seems he's faring even worse than I did. Fortunately, his teacher appears to be quite decent." Xiao Yan mused, his expression somewhat peculiar. The young man named Li Changshou bore striking similarities to his own experiences—both had crossed over from Blue Star to a foreign world and both had devoted teachers. In his own years, without the careful guidance of Elder Yao, he doubted he would have amassed the strength and confidence he now possessed. However, revealing one's hidden cards before everyone was hardly advantageous…

 

…In the遮天 World. Countless planets were collapsing, with boundless darkness gradually engulfing each star domain. On the lands of these star domains, corpses numbered in the millions, with rivers of blood flowing. The extent of the casualties was incalculable. Beyond the Big Dipper Star Domain, six pairs of eyes coldly observed the collapsing planets. The devastation left only the elderly and children on the planets, preserving them as seeds for future harvests. In the West Desert, silence reigned, with fragmented chanting sounds from Mount Sumeru. The South Ridge crumbled, with monstrous beasts and feral birds littering the land. In the Central Continent, endless wails and cries echoed, countless mortals were displaced, and innumerable cultivators shouted curses to the heavens!

 

Outside the star domains, the six supreme beings wore cruel expressions, savoring the "varieties of life." Suddenly, a monumental sound echoed, seemingly resonating through heaven and earth, causing the entire universe to tremble. A light screen, spanning the heavens and the earth, slowly unfolded in the void. The six supreme beings exchanged glances, momentarily halting their consumption of life essence, and exhibited signs of wariness. Moments later, one of the supremes spoke with a cold tone, "The myriad realms? It seems there are other planes in the universe. Given the vast number of mundane beings on Blue Star, their life essence must be exceptionally delectable!" Another supreme coldly added, "We seek survival from death. It is only right to replenish our vitality with the essence of Blue Star."

 

At this moment, in the Big Dipper Star Domain, Ye Fan stood frozen, staring at the familiar Blue Star on the screen. "What is happening?! Why is Blue Star appearing on the screen?! If the six supremes discover it, the consequences would be dire!" Ye Fan was consumed with urgent anxiety and fury, yet he lacked the power to quell the turmoil.

 

…Before the Hundred Talents Hall of the Du Xian Sect's Xiao Qiong Peak. Surrounded by gazes, Li Changshou felt exposed as if he were unclothed. This was a serious issue! In the presence of that entity, he had no secrets left! Li Changshou stared at the screen, his mind a tempest of turmoil. He had never anticipated that this sudden exposure would unveil even his greatest secret. Who could be behind this detrimental exposure? Li Changshou took a deep breath, knowing that whatever entity was behind this exposure was beyond his current ability to confront. Now, with his greatest secret revealed, future days were likely to be fraught with turmoil and unrest. In the Savage Era, why did the mighty ones establish sects and vie for treasures? It was to "transcend" and ensure their survival through the immeasurable tribulations. If it became known that he hailed from another universe, a refuge from these tribulations… his situation was dire!

 

…In the Celestial Court. At this moment, the door to the Doushuai Palace stood wide open, with spiritual energy swirling within. Flanking the door were two youths, one in gold and the other in silver. Outside the palace, the Jade Emperor of the Celestial Court, garbed in imperial robes, stood. "Is the Supreme Being present in the palace?" "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Supreme Being has been traveling for years and has not yet returned," the Golden Boy answered with a bow. "However, just moments ago, the Supreme Being manifested and said that if Your Majesty came for Master Chang Geng, there is no need to worry. Master Chang Geng's fate is broad and his fortune great, so he will not suffer any significant harm." The Jade Emperor visibly relaxed and smiled, "As long as Master Chang Geng is well. Apart from this, did the Supreme Being have any other instructions? What is the nature of this cosmic screen?" Upon hearing this, the Golden Boy lowered his head to report, "If Your Majesty is here regarding the matter of the exposure across the myriad realms, please remain calm. The Supreme Being mentioned that this matter is quite peculiar. It appeared mysteriously, like floating duckweed without roots or water without source, leaving no trace. Even he could not fathom it…" As the words ended, the Golden Boy and the Silver Boy exchanged a look of extreme shock. Apart from the Grand Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the Three Pure Ones were the highest beings, having attained the Mixed Yuan Dao Fruit, enduring countless tribulations, untouched by karma, and existing alongside the heavens and Dao. To have such all-knowing entities openly admit their inability to comprehend this exposure meant that the force behind it was immensely formidable. Could it be that the entity behind this was on the level of Grand Dao Ancestor Hongjun?!
