Chapter 2412

Xiao Feng seemed to have gained some insight.

No wonder Yi Ancestor is so strong; in the early days when humanity struggled to survive, his breakthrough let him quickly gain a foothold, and together with Fuxi the Old Ancestor he protected the whole human race's cosmic territory, thus bringing about later prosperity.

Such an invincible, immensely powerful Dao Ancestor is surely someone nobody wants to face.

Fighting him, one will surely lose 100%, and the Dao Ancestor also doesn't want to suffer such injustice.

"For another example, Fuxi's main cultivated law is the Void. The Way of Void can be understood as the opposite of material law, meaning the absence of matter and energy. He cultivated the Void, yet retained his immortal soul and spirit; at his peak, he once had the Dao Ancestor's Dao fruit in every time dimension of the universe. Throughout endless ages, his shadow appears in every fork of time, yet he does not exist in each present age—truly special, immensely powerful, and mysteriously unfathomable." Chen Jie said again.

Such a description left Xiao Feng somewhat puzzled.

What does it mean to exist in every time yet not exist in every present age?

Does it mean that Fuxi the Old Ancestor's shadow exists in the past and future, but not now?

This moment is the present, but one second later, this "now" becomes the past.

When located at this "now," Fuxi the Old Ancestor does not exist, but as long as it is past or future, he does exist!

Is this the Void Law?

"I don't really understand this state." Xiao Feng said.

Chen Jie shook his head slightly: "I didn't really understand either, until the cosmic calamity arrived, when Fuxi appeared, summoning all incarnations from past, present, and future; countless Dao Ancestors gave their all, battling the false-origin beings of the high-dimensional universe. Only then did I

understood, weakness is not always absolute; even with a difference of one dimension, he still successfully delayed the universe's destruction, buying my father enough fundamental time distance, which allowed our universe to be reborn."

Xiao Feng heard this and was astonished.

This story, he had actually seen it in that book written by Qingfeng Mountain Master Chen Xiao Ba.

But the book's description was rather vague; only after Dao Ancestor Sister explained it did he realize how great what Fuxi the Old Ancestor did back then was.

Using the life force of low-dimensional beings to block the invasion of high-dimensional life…

It's like a person drawn on a sheet of paper, trying to stop you from tearing the paper, and even managing to delay it for a while!

How incredibly unbelievable is that!

The person on the paper essentially doesn't exist in human eyes; it's merely a drawing without substantive meaning.

This gap is even greater than that between ants and humans!

Because ants are three-dimensional beings, just like humans, being born and dying in the same space. They merely fail to comprehend humanity's strength, cannot see humanity's full appearance, rather than having a dimensional difference with humans in material or life aspects.

Using low-dimensional life to resist high-dimensional life—this feat has been accomplished only by Fuxi in the universe!

"Is Fuxi the Old Ancestor the strongest among the Dao Ancestors?" Xiao Feng couldn't help but ask.

Chen Jie shook his head: "Combat strength isn't judged that way; laws generate and overcome each other. Although Fuxi is strong, his essence is the Void, so his combat ability isn't outstanding. Moreover, his myriad true forms have all perished; now only one true form remains. If they really fought, he might not even be as strong as me."

"

"This……"

Xiao Feng laughed and cried at once.

Thus, Fuxi the Old Ancestor excels not in combat, but in strategic wisdom. He schemes the real world from within the Void, counters high-dimensional life with low-dimensional means; as a strategist, he supports the reproduction and development of the human race.

Speaking of combat, aside from the law‑invincible Da Yi, the strongest are likely the Tyrant of Power Law, the Primordial True King of Material Law, my father who once reached Dao Ancestor, and the Heavenly Gods' Lord of Destruction. Besides… I and the Lord of Evil of Slaughter should also be top‑tier. Chen Jie said, giving Xiao Feng a general impression.

Power, matter, matter, destruction, slaughter, time…

Is this the combat power ceiling of the universe?

Chen Jie's father has already surpassed the Dao Ancestor, so he needn't be counted; the Primordial True King is a higher‑dimensional life that has descended, his combat power is unquestionable. Both are Dao Ancestors who attained the Dao via Material Law—matter and energy cannot injure them; only time, space, Qi Luck, and soul can affect them to any degree.

Naturally, even the Tyrant of Power Law would find it hard to win.

Chen Jie, who also commands Time Law, can banish the attacks she suffers to other times past or future, shifting her own spacetime to evade—this too is an ability that renders her virtually unbeatable.

By comparison, Slaughter Law, Destruction Law, and Power Law are about equal; they depend on real ability to clash head‑on, with no rule‑level maneuvering—who's stronger is revealed by a direct clash.

"If that's so, then attaining the Dao should make me formidable too." Xiao Feng couldn't help feeling a yearning.

"If you can pull it off, we'll talk later; you're nowhere near my father's level." Chen

Jie's mouth twitched slightly, showing disdain.

Xiao Feng burst out laughing.

Compared to others, losing makes him unhappy.

But compared to the Lord of the Universe, just being in the match is an honor; losing doesn't matter.

"Dao Ancestor Sister, I have a question for you." Xiao Feng said.

"What is it?"

Chen Jie looked at him.

Xiao Feng closed the distance and whispered in her ear: "Your… father complex… is it serious?"

Chen Jie's expression stiffened, her fist hardened, and with a bang she punched straight through Xiao Feng's belly.

This punch was a pure power crushing; Xiao Feng felt his stomach ache, his pain nerves firing, his viscera shattered by her blow.

Yet he remained in place, not even flung away.

"No way, that fierce?" he grimaced, gripping her seemingly delicate wrist and pulling himself free from her arm.

Chen Jie's expression remained indifferent as she said: "Don't ask what you shouldn't; otherwise the next punch won't be aimed at your stomach."

Xiao Feng circulated the Material Law to heal his wound, giving a wry smile: "I just wanted to ask whether you previously treated me as his substitute……"

Chen Jie clenched her fist and said lightly: "Ask again."

"I……"

Seeing her threatening gaze, Xiao Feng thought it over, then held his tongue and didn't ask further.

Otherwise, he'd have to endure the pain of losing a brother.

Although for him now losing some flesh isn't terribly frightening, the presence of pain nerves still lets him clearly feel the agony of being smashed.

"Fine, fine, I won't ask." Xiao Feng resignedly gave up.

After a moment, Chen Jie seemed to have pondered many things and told Xiao Feng: "Ordinary person"

Many daughters also admire their fathers and look for a man like him to marry, right?

This...

Xiao Feng opened his mouth, momentarily stunned.

"Sister, you mean... you've decided?" he couldn't help but ask.

Chen Jie smiled: "What, you don't dare?"

I...

Xiao Feng gave a bitter smile.

Being someone's substitute is actually quite painful, especially when you know she still has an unresolved knot in her heart.

"If you're unwilling, then forget it; I'm not an ordinary family's daughter."

Seeing him hesitate, Chen Jie immediately withdrew the feelings she had conveyed, returning once more to her icy demeanor.

"Sister, I didn't mean it that way..."

Xiao Feng apologetically said.

Chen Jie indicated it didn't matter: "No need to explain, I understand. You've rested enough; continue your contemplation."

Having said that, she sat quietly with eyes closed, continuing to refine her temporal origin.
