During Xiao Feng's advance, he feels his energy still growing, although the speed is slow, but it indeed exists.

But it indeed exists.

Yet it is still vastly larger than Xiao Feng's body.

As Xiao Feng traveled farther, he soon encountered several pseudo-source realm spirits.

Although Chen Li said that the stronger one becomes, the harder it is to approach the Myriad Worlds Tree, he was referring to universes, not individual beings.

Translation: Although Chen Li said that the greater one's strength, the harder it is to approach the myriad worlds tree, he was referring to the universe, not an individual lifeform.

Xiao Feng wishes to break through the source realm; the source realm of the myriad ways is a singularity requiring more energy to drive, and his current strength is still far insufficient.

Translation: Xiao Feng wanted to break through the source realm; the source realm of the myriad ways is a singularity realm, requiring more energy to drive, and his current strength is far from sufficient.

When encountering pseudo-source realm beings, he captures them if he can; if not, he doesn't insist, since there are plenty more along the way.

Translation: For the pseudo-source realm beings he encountered, if he could seize them he would; if not, he didn't insist, since there were still many more along the way.

These powerful pseudo-source realm beings are not necessarily devoid of thought or concepts.

They instinctively want to devour more energy, but what this is for.

They instinctively wanted to devour more energy, but what this is for.

What it is, how becoming stronger through devouring will turn out—even Chen Li and the Primordial True King are unclear.

After a period of time, he seized another pseudo-source realm spirit.

This time he did not immediately devour it; instead, he controlled it, invaded its mind with his spiritual sense, and examined the lingering thoughts within its consciousness.

Translation: This time he did not immediately devour it, but instead controlled it, invading with his Divine Sense to inspect the lingering thoughts in its sea of consciousness.

"I am the Ten Absolutes Dao Venerable… the strongest being in the universe… comprehending the avenue of time, transcending the boundaries of life and death…"

Translation: "\"I am the Ten Absolutes Dao Lord... the strongest in the universe... comprehending the Dao of time, transcending the boundary of life and death... \""

Translation: "\"Become stronger, I want to become even stronger! \""

"Devour energy! Devour my kind! Devour the universe! I cannot stop here!"

Translation: "\"Devour energy! Devour kin! Devour the universe! Absolutely cannot stop here! \""

"As long as I devour a hundred thousand of my kind, I can once again transcend and reach the true source at the end of myriad paths…"

Translation: "\"As long as I devour a hundred thousand of my kind, I can once again transcend and reach the true source at the end of the myriad Dao... \""

One after another, these messages were captured by Xiao Feng's spiritual sense.

He furrowed his brows.

Translation: "He furrowed his brows."

Devouring a hundred thousand of my kind… that is somewhat terrifying.

Moreover, the source of myriad paths that can be reached by devouring a hundred thousand of my kind—could it be the root of the Myriad Worlds Tree?

Translation: "Moreover, the source of the myriad Dao that can be reached by devouring a hundred thousand of my kind—could it be the root of the myriad worlds tree?"

"If I were to devour a hundred thousand pseudo-source realm spirits, what would happen then?" Xiao Feng couldn't help but wonder.

Translation: "\"If I devour a hundred thousand pseudo-source realm spirits, what then would happen? \" Xiao Feng couldn't help but ponder."

He is neither a pseudo-source realm nor a true source realm, but rather a special "Creation Realm"; it remains uncertain whether he can walk the same path as pseudo-source realm spirits.

Translation: "He is not considered a pseudo-source realm, nor a true source realm, but rather a special \"Creation Realm\"; whether he can walk the same path as pseudo-source realm spirits remains hard to say."

Xiao Feng devoured the energy of the Ten Absolutes Dao Venerable, and his strength continued to grow.

The Ten Absolutes Dao Venerable, unwilling to perish, launched a counterattack, but it had no effect.

"I am unwilling… unwilling… Master, Mother, I miss you…"

A lingering trace of divine consciousness lingered in Xiao Feng's mental sea; shortly after, this once immensely powerful spirit within his own universe was utterly annihilated, leaving not a trace behind.

When a person dies, the first thoughts are of their parents; it appears deities are no exception.

Xiao Feng felt a sigh rise within him, and the images and voices of his parents surfaced in his mind.

Translation: "Xiao Feng felt a tinge of sorrow, and the appearance and voices of his parents surfaced in his mind."

His family members nowadays should be living quite well.

Translation: "His current family members should be living quite well these days."

But he has been away for a long time, and he does not know whether anyone still misses him.

Translation: "But he has been away for a long time, not knowing whether anyone misses him."

It's been a hundred million years, huh… time really flies…

Counting from the day I left, my hometown universe must have long been gone for ages.

After such a long time, do his parents still remember him?

Do his two daughters and two sons he has never met ever think of him as their father?

Will the affection of his wives fade? Over a hundred million years, have they already sunk into a long slumber, or taken a liking to someone else?

Time is ruthless; beings who have never transcended the river of time are always trapped within it, drifting and sinking, unable to free themselves.

Those who grow strong may escape such worries, yet only by transcending alone; seeing their former companions still adrift in the river of time, their hearts feel no ease.

This may also be one of the prices of becoming strong.

"Ah..."

Xiao Feng sighed, having digested the power of a False Source Realm, and continued onward.

He does not know what awaits him ahead; perhaps turning back now, returning to the material world to be with his family, would be the better choice.

But he does not want to stop.

Since he has set foot on this path, he must seek the ultimate end.

The road—then let's get to the bottom of it.

High-dimensional worlds seem to have few beings such as True Source Realm, Lord of the Universe, and Creator God Spirit; most are False Source Realm.

So he has nothing to worry about; basically the way is smooth and unobstructed.

His only concern is the uncertainty about the answer.

Perhaps the Myriad Worlds Tree... is not something good.
