Given his current strength, even a Dao Ancestor could not hide beside him; evidently this...

This thought does not originate from a living being.

But rather... the will of the universe!

Translation: but…… the Cosmic Will!

The will of the universe descended beside Xiao Feng, which surprised him greatly.

"What do you want to tell me? To expel me? Or to suppress me?" Xiao Feng gazed at the empty starry sky and voiced his question.

Translation: "What do you want to tell me? Expel me? Or suppress me?" Xiao Feng gazed at the void of the starry sky and voiced his question.

Xiao Feng sat quietly, sensing what the universe's will wanted to convey.

The universe's will was expressing goodwill toward him, seemingly trying to win his favor!

Translation: The Cosmic Will was expressing kindness toward him, seemingly trying to win his favor!

"How could this be?"

Xiao Feng was bewildered, even more astonished.

Translation: Xiao Feng did not understand, and became even more astonished.

Why would the universe's will be so friendly toward him?

He is an outsider, and not a native being of this world!

He calmly sought to understand.

Translation: He calmed his mind to comprehend.

Soon, a clear realization arose in his mind.

The meaning the universe's will wanted to convey was... to let him break through in this world and become a Dao Ancestor.

Translation: Moreover, because he had comprehended many laws, focusing on the Material Law within the Supreme Law, his strength would reach the peak, surpassing other Dao Ancestors, and he could become the spokesman of the Cosmic Will.

Xiao Feng carried too much energy; it was terrifying!

If he left, it would be a great loss for the new universe.

Translation: Once he left, for the new universe it would be a great loss

Loss!

Translation: loss!

Xiao Feng said: "But these energies are not entirely yours; the Yinglong and Golden Toad, they are originally natives of my homeland universe."

Translation: Xiao Feng said: "But these energies are not entirely yours; the Dark Dragon, Golden Toad, and the others are originally living beings of my homeland universe."

Even setting aside the energy, what about the worlds of the four great beast clans? And the Imperial Souls?

The universe's will naturally was dissatisfied and wanted to stop him.

Translation: The Cosmic Will naturally was dissatisfied and wanted to stop him.

Xiao Feng laughed and said: "There's no way around it; I have to go. Whether you try to retain me or stop me, it won't change anything. What I have gained is through my own effort, not a gift from you. So I'm sorry, but I cannot agree to your request."

Translation: Xiao Feng smiled and said: "There's no way; I must go anyway. Whether you try to retain me or block me, it won't change anything. What I have obtained is also through my own effort, not a gift from you. So I'm sorry, but I cannot agree to your request."

Rumble~

Translation: Boom—rumble~

The ocean of laws trembled; the universe's will issued its final warning, forbidding him to leave.

Translation: The Law Ocean trembled; the Cosmic Will issued its final warning, forbidding him to leave.

Xiao Feng stood up, gave a carefree smile, and said: "You can issue a command of the universe's will, ordering all beings within the realm, including the three Dao Ancestors, to block me. If you can keep me here, I will break through here. If not, then there's nothing more to say."

Translation: Xiao Feng stood up, gave a carefree smile: "You can issue a command of the Cosmic Will, ordering all beings within the realm, including the three Dao Ancestors, to come block me. If you can keep me here, I will break through in this place; if not, there's nothing more to say."

Buzz buzz buzz~

Translation: Buzz—buzz—buzz~

The universe's will emitted another fluctuation.

Translation: The Cosmic Will sent out another wave.

However, this time the magnitude was smaller.

Translation: Only this time the magnitude was smaller.

Although it is not a living being and lacks subjective consciousness, it still possesses some reasoning ability.

Despite really wanting to keep Xiao Feng, it clearly understands that none of the new universe's beings, including the three Dao Ancestors, can retain him.

Translation: Although it very much wanted to keep Xiao Feng, it clearly understood that no being in the new universe's populace, including the three Dao Ancestors, could detain him.

If one were to make a move and fight him, not only would one be unable to detain him, but on the contrary one could

Being killed by him lets one loot more energy.

Therefore, the Cosmic Will could only give up, expressing regret and pity toward him, then gradually receded.

"Not blocking is fine; I'll thank you for the gift. If I advance further in the future, I may return and merge with you, becoming a higher form of life." Xiao Feng said to the void.

The Cosmic Will showed no indication.

Xiao Feng said no more, stepped out, the void flowed, and in an instant covered hundreds of millions of light-years.

Before leaving, he had already asked; the Chiyou Emperor, Xuannu Niangniang, and other strong ones had already left.

After the Dao Ancestor appeared in the New Universe, the strong of all races worried about safety; over a few hundred years most left, leaving only a few weaker ones who did not attract the Dao Ancestor's attention, still training in the peripheral regions.

Xiao Feng advanced step by step, each step spanning hundreds of millions of light-years, far faster than even the strongest Eternal Level.

After grasping the essence of matter and perceiving the source of space, the New Universe held few secrets for him.

One lost in a labyrinth finds the exit hard to come by, but now he has raised his dimension, overlooking the labyrinth, making escape naturally easy.

In just a few steps, Xiao Feng reached the edge of the universe.

Looking ahead, Xing Kong remained as before, seeming unchanging.

But what he saw with his eyes was not dark Xing Kong, but a cosmic wall membrane of indeterminate color.

Beyond that membrane, a chain penetrates and entwines, exactly the passage linking the Main Universe and the New Universe.

Xiao Feng used another aspect of the Main Universe to call the Master of the Universe, informing him of his return.

Actually, even if he didn't speak, given the current laws, he could himself travel along the chain through the cosmic wall barrier to return home.

】

But if that happened, should the Master of the Universe fail to recognize him and instinctively retaliate, he would be done for.

Between a half-step Dao Ancestor and the Master of the Universe lies not a Dao Ancestor realm but a dimensional gap.

Hum~

With Xiao Feng's Divine Sense calling down, the chain outside the cosmic wall membrane began to tremble.

A huge spatial channel appeared in the void, guiding Xiao Feng home.
