Chapter 445: The First Principle of Magic at the Beginning of the Canghui Galaxy

In the Primordial Era there was the Dao; the Dao coexisted with Chaos, Chaos was originally Void, yet the Dao operated within it.

A Primordial Qi arose from the Hongmeng, gathered and took form; its head wore the round Heaven, its feet trod the square Earth, it was crowned with the Nine Qi Crown, and these coalesced into its raiment.

It opened its Dharma Eye; Chaos was split open, day and night were separated, and the Two Principles of Yin and Yang manifested.

The Yang Principle ascended to become the Nine Heavens Jade Capital; the Yin Principle sank to become the Ten Directions Dust World; the Great Thousand Worlds thus formed, their number like the sands of the Ganges, incalculable.

At this point, Heaven and Earth had their constants, and the Ten Thousand Things obtained their order.

With day and with night — this is one Kalpa.

With birth and with extinction — this constitutes an Era.

……………………

— Excerpted from the "Pivot of the Dao True Scripture: Primordial Fragment," unearthed in the Canghui Galaxy Era.

— However, just like all unearthed records of prehistoric ancient civilizations of the Universe, not too many people believe this.

Likewise, there is not any evidence either.

……………………

At the same time.

In the depths of the vast boundless Star Sea, a figure strolled leisurely.

As if transcending the fetters of the mortal world, traversing the Long River of Time, witnessing the birth and death of countless Stars.

Galaxy —

This magnificent river spanning the Horizon, quietly rotated within the spiral of billions of years of time.

The Galaxy's spiral arms slowly extended; its magnificence and Mystery, outlined a breathtaking scenery in the vast Universe.

A slender figure shuttled among the brilliant Stars, its Gaze penetrating the endless Darkness, staring straight at that distant and ancient Starlight.

As if insighting the Universe's secrets, feeling those Stars' emotions.

— Yes.

— Celestial Bodies also have Consciousness.

These Stars floating in the boundless Void, they are not merely cold and Mechanical moving bodies; in a certain Meaning they are also alive.

Earth's Pan-Will, the Counter Force vortex named "Gaia," has already proven this point.

Also Zhu Yue's existence, also ORT's existence, these other Celestial Body UOs, Primordial Ones, Planet's Executors...

Their existences, without a single Exception, all prove this point.

Perhaps in different World Line "ifs," they would not all appear; after all, not every ending is as pessimistic as the Steel Land.

But this does not mean that in other parallel worlds, they simply do not exist.

On the contrary, regardless of how Spacetime changes, regardless of how World Lines change, the Consciousness and Power belonging to Stars, always quietly stand guard.

Just like in the South American Lostbelt's Original Fate, ORT Awakened, wanting to trample the entire World, nearly piercing the Planet with one Strike, splitting it apart...

While in other World Lines, Earth did not universally suffer such a catastrophic disaster.

Then, is this because in other worlds, ORT does not exist?

— This naturally is not.

Merely because in the Pan-Human History World, in the Dead Apostle Strengthening World, the idle Spider Mister simply did not Awaken.

Just like in the deep forest, the ants' clamor may be fierce, yet it is hard to disturb that sleeping Tyrant Dragon.

In the depths of this History's Forest, ORT is like that sleeping Giant Beast; as long as it has not Awakened, it will comfortably Winter Hibernate underground in South America.

This slumber became a protective umbrella, letting Earth's Ecosphere maintain that Fragile Balance, free from that Destructive Power's intrusion.

— Only This.

Probably only Zhu Yue is comparatively special —

Because in the World Line where Mooncell exists, even the Moon does not exist.

The so-called Moon, or the Celestial Body bearing this name, its interior was hollowed out long ago, replaced by a photon crystal three thousand Kilometers in Diameter.

Since even the Celestial Body itself no longer exists, naturally there is no speaking of any UO or the like.

However, setting aside these special examples.

At least many many cases are sufficient to prove, Celestial Bodies have their own Consciousness... and this is a universal Fact.

Within one Solar System, from Earth to all other Planets, all gave birth to Primordial Ones. Even the Sun's predecessor, the Pre-Solar Era Star...

Also early on created its own UO.

In one Galaxy, not a single Exception — is this still not enough to explain the problem?

Therefore, the result is obvious.

Although currently the vast majority of Planets are barren, also without any life traces, if there is need, they can all give birth to their own Executors.

This is absolutely not coincidence, but the inevitable result under the Universe Law,

Although Celestial Bodies and Life are vastly different, each bearing completely different Consciousness Forms, that Consciousness exists in an alternative form, difficult to assert it possesses Intellect and Higher Wisdom, capable of realizing rigorous Logical thinking.

It is more like a kind of grand Aggregated Instinct.

It is the Planet's Pan-Will born for self-protection.

However, even though Atmosphere, Oceans, Polar Ice Caps, even the Lithosphere, form intricate and Complex mutual interactions, ultimately they are hard to compare to an Organism Brain's Function.

Therefore —

This Will appears exceptionally Blurry, unclear.

As if placed in a vast ethereal, ancient vicissitudes Realm, every single thought seems to require experiencing hundreds of years of Time's flow before it can Complete.

Like Immortals, a Figure walking above the Galaxy, sometimes pausing to Stare, sometimes Walking among them.

He seems to be conducting a silent Dialogue with this vast Star Sea, experiencing that Silence and Harmony transcending words, one by one reading through the Planets' Memories.

— Those narratives about Birth and Destruction, Prosperity and Decline...

——Recounting to Him the vicissitudes of billions of years……

——Like a solitary and solemn journey……

In this sea of stars, time seems to have lost its Meaning, and both Eternity and change cease to Exist.

Because everything has already walked to the End, everything has already been judged as a state of Completion and conclusion.

Eternity does Not Exist, because there is no future.

Change does Not Exist, because there is no future.

"……"

"……"

Xia Zhi just quietly observed like this, without speaking a word.

And right at this moment, he seemed to have a Sensation, silently lifting his eyes to cast a glance in a certain Direction.

His Gaze penetrated different Dimensions, traversed different Dimension Spacetime, and saw another Heaven and Earth.

In that instant of mutual gaze——

A name naturally Appeared in the hearts of the Qi Refining practitioners.

— "Ji Xuelei".

A girl who came into Contact with her own Qi Cultivation method, and began to inhale and exhale Qi Ji……

And she has great affinity in terms of Spiritual Energy, which is to say, the talented kind……

It seems not long ago she still, due to overexploiting herself, caused the three treasures of the human body to fuse as one, and her essence, Qi, and spirit broke through a certain threshold……

Such a seed player, undoubtedly able to trigger Resonance with the Spiritual Energy Source, and would also draw Xia Zhi's Concern.

——This is the pre-arranged "Setting".

——A Mechanism specifically used to filter Suitable talents.

Although it was only a thousandth of an instant, Xia Zhi withdrew his Gaze, but he had already remembered this seed player.

Such a Cultivation seed, absolutely possesses the potential to glorify the Qi Cultivation System.

And because of Resonance with Spiritual Energy, affinity is extremely high, able to better bear her own Mors Strength……

So at the Critical Moment, Xia Zhi can directly Divine Descent, because this is his own Shinrei.

Of Course, in the Qi Cultivation System, this should be called borrowing an aperture to descend upon the altar.

But it makes no difference, anyway the Essence is all the same, all are remote login, directly taking over the account.

Actually, Xia Zhi did not anticipate this ability would be Frequent used, this is more a manifestation of his consistently Cautious personality, always keeping an extra option when there are choices.

After all, still that saying, being prepared without need is always better than having need without preparation.

He can appear in any Place at any time, appear at any time point, as long as it is a Timeline he has Existed in, a space he has Arrived at.

Spiritual Energy spreading naturally also counts as Condition Satisfaction.

But then, who would dislike having too many cards in hand?

Especially when his plan begins to Push forward, to become the Spiritual Energy Source of who knows how many Worlds, achieve the Qi Body Source Flow, all true laws under his control……

However you look at it, it feels like becoming a grand mastermind, a final BOSS.

So even with confidence, Xia Zhi would still make a few more Preparations.

As for the rest……

Like Miss Nangong's double-agent Behavior, he doesn't really Care, and just lets it be.

This was originally within expectations, in those few mu of land initially selected…… cough cough, in the initially selected three thousand six hundred Worlds——

Such things are commonplace.

Many people he selected, are not very rule-abiding, won't obediently go Kindling.

But this harms nothing fundamental, won't Influence anything at all.

Because things Easily Obtained are often not Cherished, with this kind of situation, as long as there is no Method to thoroughly Refuse, thoroughly Prohibit, the rebound afterwards is often fierce.

Better to learn than to steal, better to steal than to fail to steal.

As long as someone displays that kind of Mors Strength, displays new choices and possibilities, afterwards it simply cannot be cut off.

Even if the Progress is Delayed a bit in the early stage, afterwards it will still Expand rapidly at ten times, a hundred times the speed.

And according to future Time Plane observation, indeed all are so.

Without a single Exception.

One World after another accepted the Qi Cultivation System, Spiritual Energy is infecting Pangea, like Tide Mors Surge, surging and raising tides.

Perhaps still unable to assimilate the Sea of Dikla, transform into the Absolute source of the vacuum zero-point energy he uses, but it flows between Xing Xi, full and Diffusing.

And precisely because of this, Nascent Soul Cultivators are like each having externally connected a Qi Sea……

Scale is Xing Xi-level……

Quantity is three thousand six hundred……

But energy Upper Limit is not what Xia Zhi Cares about, currently most Valuable are still these Qi Seas, the laws contained within them.

——From different Universes, different Dimensions, different Spacetime……

——Various physical laws, regular Constants.

Like slices of the True Universe, imprinted one by one into these vast and surging Qi Seas.

Through these sample materials, he meticulously refines his thirty-six layers of ancient Heaven and Earth, both Moon's Creator and ruler, able to At Will rewrite and utilize those laws and regularities.

That is the Absolute Domain he truly controls at every moment.

And also an externally connected Operation Library after another.

Under such repeated refining, Xia Zhi's mighty power also rises along with it to an even more Incredible realm.

And……

He believed he had initially obtained the cornerstone usable for creation.

Not referring to past practices……

Not limited to a mere single planet……

——but a broader, more boundless domain.

Now he was strolling atop the Galaxy, walking amidst the brilliant star sea, measuring Heaven and Earth with his steps, precisely depicting the Star Domain he prepared to open up.

"If you want to change the World with magic."

The Nascent Soul Cultivator whispered to himself——

"You must first delineate the scope of the World you wish to change……"

When casting magic, there is a very important matter, which is determining the size of the domain.

This guideline……

Was the first principle he had firmly committed to memory ever since he dipped into the Knowledge of those Mo Shu Shu and set foot on the Road of the God of Magic……

It was already the first principle he had firmly committed to memory.
