Chapter 2503

The lower-layer time was shifting; the farther back one went in this high-dimensional space, the more ancient it became.

As for Xiao Feng himself, there was no change—whether his strength or the universe within him, it remained as it was.

He had already devoured more than ten False Origin Realm divine spirits; his Li Ti was now massive, his energy reserves growing ever richer, already on par with a newborn universe.

The volume of the universe inside him hadn't changed much, but it had developed further, matured; the number of living beings within kept increasing, and many powerful lives of sovereign level had been born.

"A hundred thousand—how long will that take, damn it..."

Xiao Feng silently complained to himself.

Devouring just a dozen or so high-dimensional lives had already taken a long time; the universe inside him had developed for nearly a hundred million years.

If this continues, by the time he truly devours a hundred thousand, even an ordinary universe would have already aged and died.

Nevertheless, he genuinely felt his own growth.

Within his universe, chaotic energy grew ever richer; the five great laws were being perfected, especially the total amount of primordial source qi, which had accumulated to a very abundant level.

Given this trend, perhaps not long from now he would find the direction for his next growth.

At the same time, Xiao Feng's sense of his homeland gradually severed.

Before, he could still use Divine Sense to connect with the Dao Ancestor incarnation he had sent back to his homeland, and personally see the faces of his son and daughter-in-law.

Although the time spans of the two places were vastly different, it still counted as fulfilling a wish.

But now the connection is broken; he can no longer see his homeland at all.

Thinking back to the scenes before Divine Sense was severed, he felt quite sentimental inside.

He had four children, yet none resembled him—either they simply didn't seek partners, or they were faithful and devoted, each having only one partner, filtering out his

"philanderer" trait completely.

His two sons, Xiao Fan and Xiao Li, had both started families, living carefree and happy lives with their respective wives in their own worlds.

However, he missed the growth process of his children, unable to accompany them.

Xiao Li was somewhat better off, with Chen Jie keeping an eye on him; from childhood he had been carefree, acting like a little bully, throwing his weight around everywhere.

Xiao Fan, however, was rather pitiful; Xun Shuang claimed to dote on her son, but in practice she implemented a laissez-faire policy, hoping Xiao Fan would retrace the peak path of his previous life.

To that end she even designed a background world, pretending to be busy, letting her son live and die in a virtual universe, growing up through hardship.

Fortunately, he had the Ten Ferocious accompanying him, and he also met a very nice girl who accompanied him all the way from the mortal realm to Shen Jie, ultimately succeeding in breaking through the illusion, entering the main plane of the virtual universe, and finding his parents' traces.

However, by then Xiao Feng was no longer the true Xiao Feng, merely an incarnation.

Xiao Feng had never accompanied any of his children's growth; he was an irresponsible father.

He also felt helpless; each time he just happened to miss them.

Now he no longer worries about it.

Instead, he feels nostalgic.

The time concept in the high-dimensional world is too faint; his memories seem to be silently fading, and some things are gradually being forgotten.

Those he hasn't forgotten he cherishes all the more, constantly recalling them, fearing complete oblivion and becoming a mere clump of energy devoid of thought.

The journey continues.

A special universe appeared ahead, with a volume more than half that of Chen Li's universe, but its shell had ruptured, and at this moment more than a dozen False Origin Realm divine spirits were devouring the energy and matter inside.

Xiao Feng's arrival

It scared off a few, but several still remained.

These divine spirits' souls and will expressed rejection and fear toward Xiao Feng, yet they lacked the ability to oppose him.

Such a bountiful meal, Xiao Feng was unwilling to let go; his massive body extended a huge hand, which, when converted to material-world volume, made a single finger tens of millions of light-years across. He seized several False Origin Realm lives, crushed them into energy form, and swallowed them in one gulp.

"Eighteen, nineteen… thirty."

This batch counted as a hearty feast; he became even stronger.

Looking again at the damaged universe, its inner Xing Kong had collapsed, living beings were nearly extinct, leaving only a corner region with three or four star systems still intact.

Xiao Feng extended his hand, enveloping those star systems with primordial source qi, drawing them in and incorporating them into his internal universe.

"Leave your billions of subjects; this wrecked body, too, shall be mine." Xiao Feng's Divine Sense murmured.

The Cosmic Will gave no response, showing neither compliance nor opposition.

Xiao Feng dispersed his Divine Sense and also devoured the remnants of this great universe.

This time, it took a full hundred million years to finish devouring.

The universe inside him had propagated for 110 million years; those star systems had stabilized, and most beings had forgotten the past disasters, believing they naturally belonged to this universe.

And Xiao Feng, nourished by twelve False Origin Realm lives and a shattered great universe, saw his strength skyrocket, becoming extraordinarily powerful.

The energy of the material laws had concentrated to an extreme, chaotic currents clumped together, turning into a paste-like state.

As for him now, in terms of the energy he controls, he is hardly inferior to Chen Li.

Of course, that was two hundred million years ago, Chen

Li, and the two have not seen each other for a long time.

Xiao Feng occasionally looked back and could still see the shadow of his homeland's universe, but it was too distant, and he could no longer reach it.

After that came another long journey.

The universe sensed the aura of the Myriad Worlds Tree's source growing denser, and the universes encountered around it seemed to be getting younger and younger.

Moreover, False Origin Realm divine spirits were also growing stronger; they were no longer the 'newbies' who had just broken through and hadn't yet devoured much material energy.

Powerful False Origin Realm divine spirits might have devoured several dying universes, being huge in size, with tenacious wills, making them very tough opponents.

But Xiao Feng is no pushover; in one-on-one fights he has never lost, and sometimes even when facing multiple opponents at once he can still win.

False Origin Realm lifeforms, like him, are tracing back to the source of the Myriad Worlds Tree, while the universe is regressing backward, just as Chen Li speculated.

But Xiao Feng still does not know what the reason is.

One great battle after another, one devouring after another.

Xiao Feng grew stronger and stronger, the chaotic qi flow inside his body became denser and denser, and it was already about to condense into a solid state.

His internal universe never expanded, while Li Ti kept growing.

Initially the whole universe could fill his belly, but now only a tiny lump of muscle inside him remained that size.

After devouring a decaying universe and several false-origin realm deities, Xiao Feng stopped.

Looking inward, the enormity of his body and the density of his energy had already reached their limit.

"One hundred twenty billion years..."

The universe inside him had already flourished to its peak, with billions of beings vying for glory, and several Dao Ancestor-level entities had appeared.

But these were about to become history.

Xiao Feng looked inward at the universe, seeing the splendid scene of all beings.

appearance, he apologized.

Then……

Boom~

The universe collapsed, all beings turned to dust.

Xiao Feng's Li Ti collapsed, everything on it contracted toward a single direction.

From the boundless large, it transformed into the infinite small.

Energy and matter were compressed, and even the soul's will underwent a strange change.

This is the origin state of the law of matter—the singularity.
