Chapter 821: Cradle Results

Known places, Known Islands.

This is not a concept or noun of space; it does not truly mean they are scattered everywhere like islands in an ordinary ocean, but rather a conceptual definition, a standard of judgment.

Therefore, if one can stand at an infinitely high vantage point and survey the whole, one can also view the endless Known Islands as a single, vast Known Place connected together.

Even if the connection is not very tight, it can be regarded as a whole.

And this whole has another name.

Great Void.

There has only ever been the Great Void; everything is within the Great Void. This statement is not wrong. Because for living beings situated within the known, the unknown outside the known is meaningless.

Unknowns that have not been explored have always been equivalent to non-existent.

Perhaps someone might say, how can this be equivalent to non-existent? Does the unknown not have potential dangers? What if unknown things come to attack the known? When an unknown monster appears in the known, can it still be regarded as non-existent? That is merely deceiving oneself and others.

This statement makes a lot of sense.

But first, one must clarify one point, which is that the unknown is always the unknown; if an unknown thing interferes with the known, then in reality, it is already known.

Therefore, in essence, all struggles are struggles of the known.

Just as humans on Earth cannot see beyond the Observable Universe, what is beyond the Observable Universe can be regarded as a kind of unknown. But for intelligent beings who already live outside the Observable Universe, the place where they are is already known.

Starting from this perspective, one can glimpse a corner of the Great Void.

The Great Void is never a place.

But a standard of judgment!

As for the universe, Heaven and Earth, time and space?

These have always been the manifestations of the Great Void, merely summaries of the objective reality perceived by living beings who live in the Great Void, like blind men touching an elephant, unable to glimpse the full picture.

Therefore, all places that are known are the Great Void.

Continuously analyzing this Great Power, supplementing Source Power, and inscribing these thoughts and information into the mysterious void, they appeared in Li Heng's mind, telling him everything he should know.

Whether it is cultivation or learning.

This is actually a process of continuous cognition of the true objective reality, an endless quest on the Great Dao Road. And now, analyzing the Great Power and supplementing Source Power allowed him to generate essential cognition and reflection on the true objective reality.

So that is how it is?

Li Heng nodded, lost in thought.

Naturally, there were still many questions left unanswered.

Such as the essence and origin of Source Power and this Great Power.

Such as the origin of these Calamities and monsters.

But being able to know this information was still extremely precious.

Based on these thoughts and this information, he thought deeply and could also conceive of the essence of those Great Void wills; perhaps they were the union of endless Known Islands?

This could also well explain what he had noticed before: the differences between Great Void wills; they were all Great Void wills, but there was not only one Great Void will.

Were these wills even fighting each other, not in harmony?

"You thought of it, faster than we expected."

By Li Heng's ear, the voice of the Great Void will sounded.

"Fast? I feel it is very slow."

Li Heng said calmly.

"No, it is very fast, so fast that I do not even understand this process. In my expectation, when you arrived at the Mountain and Sea Great World, you should have exchanged information with the living beings of those endless Known Islands, and finally encountered a Supreme to obtain the final information from them."

"But now, you did not encounter any Supreme, yet inexplicably you generated this thought and learned the truth; do you not think this is very strange for us?"

The Great Void will said.

"I actually do not think it is strange."

Li Heng answered calmly.

Continuously analyzing the Great Power and supplementing Source Power, his understanding of the true objective reality grew deeper; without needing to exchange information, he could glimpse the essence from it and obtain the truth.

"For you, it is indeed not strange, but for us... the power that can surpass the Great Void, the power that can confront Calamity monsters head-on, is indeed too surprising to us."

The Great Void will sighed.

"Pity he kept it from us before, he deserved to be beaten!"

"He?" Li Heng keenly noticed this word.

"Yes, you should have guessed it; it is the Great Void will you first came into contact with, the youngest one, the guy born because of you. If you had not left the Cradle, we would not even know that a character like you existed within the Cradle."

"Then what did you do to him?"

"Nothing much, everyone is a Great Void will; seemingly individuals, but actually the same whole, what can we do? At most, we beat him until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen."

"After all, one cannot kill oneself."

The Great Void will replied.

"Can you call him out?"

Li Heng said.

Subsequently, another voice appeared by his ear.

"Li Heng, you must stand up for me; these big guys hit really hard! They really did not hold back at all!"

The voice complained; Li Heng used Source Power to confirm, it was indeed the Great Void will he had first contacted; it seemed the words just now were not false?

"How can I stand up for you?"

Li Heng said with a smile.

"Hmm, it seems there is really no way; I cannot have you beat them all, that would be beating myself! I would feel pain too." The voice replied, feeling very helpless.

"So what exactly is the Cradle?"

Since that was the case, Li Heng could not be bothered to care about standing up for anyone, and instead began to bring up the main business. He always felt that this wriggling thing not taking extra action now was very suspicious.

"You can apply every interpretation of the Cradle to it."

"Swaddling clothes for an infant, a greenhouse for the birth of hope..."

"All these interpretations are acceptable."

Three voices with different tones rang in Li Heng's ears; they seemed to be the other three Great Void wills.

"A greenhouse, swaddling clothes? But Disaster monsters run rampant there."

Li Heng frowned.

"Because the Cradle was breached, there was no other way."

"When the Cradle was first created, we intended to cultivate strong individuals capable of resolving the Disaster and the monsters, but the news leaked, and the Disaster and monsters appeared within the Cradle."

The Great Void wills answered with different tones.

"Does that mean it failed?"

Li Heng said.

"No, strictly speaking, it did not fail, but it cannot be considered a success either. Those nine Dao Lords are actually the results, it is just that they did not withstand the test."

"But isn't the Dao Lord Level the so-called supreme?"

Li Heng was surprised; this also counted as a result?

"You are wrong. The Dao Lord Level can be supreme, but the supreme will not be the Dao Lord Level, because the Dao Lord Level is a product of the Cradle and possesses particularity; once they leave the Cradle..."
