Chapter 241

~9 min read 1,602 words

"Gathering all that is inconceivable, forging all that is fantastical and transcendent—this is Myth."

"All great power can be attributed to Myth; all grandeur can be praised as Myth. Any system, any wondrous technique, any might—if it exists, it can become Myth."

"Are these words familiar to you?"

Li Mo spoke with a faint smile on his face.

Is Myth grand?

Grand!

Is Myth terrifying?

Terrifying!

But, the unknown and the mysterious are what inspire the greatest dread.

This life is not the past; Li Mo is no longer the man he once was. He now possesses a deeper understanding of Myth and a basic cognition of it.

For instance, in the past, was the Primordial World not also a Myth?

So-called strength is merely relative to a certain degree; other paths to the Supreme are not significantly different from Myth. This need not be elaborated upon.

"Myth... Myth... I created the Primordial World, and before my resurrection, it was praised in the mouths of all beings."

"To the beings of the Primordial World, my power was inconceivable, a legend of Myth. All things were buried within the Chaos Era."

"If another hundred million eons pass, to the people of the future, is not everything of the current Primordial World also Myth? This is the essence of Myth..."

Under the illumination of the torch, Pangu felt many realizations rise within him. His eyes seemed dazed as countless pieces of information gathered and evolved within his sea of consciousness. His lips moved slightly, and Pangu spoke as if murmuring to himself.

"Correct. This is Myth."

"You are the strongest in the Chaos Era and the creator of the Primordial World plane. Had the path to the Supreme not appeared, you would be the strongest in the entire Primordial World plane."

"Therefore, you inherently embody the characteristics of Myth. Looking across the Primordial World, only you are most suitable to tread the path of the Supreme Myth."

Li Mo spoke calmly.

What is Myth!

This is Myth!

This is the essence!

And Pangu is the one most suitable among the 727 Primordial Worlds to tread the path of the Supreme Myth. Apart from him, it can even be said that there is no other suitable candidate in the entire Primordial World.

"I can roughly understand Your Venerable's meaning, but I still have some things I do not understand and wish to ask Your Venerable."

Pangu spoke while thinking.

"Ask."

Li Mo gestured.

"Myth means standing above all, transcending all, looking down upon all. If I am to become stronger, it should be related to the will-power of all beings. Yet, even if I gather the will-power of all beings, how should I cultivate? How should I become stronger?"

Pangu spoke in a deep voice.

"What you say is both right and wrong."

Li Mo shook his head and said.

After all, he had only provided a concept. Though the torch was strong, it was not enough to turn a concept into substance; otherwise, it would not be defying heaven, but simply absurd. Li Mo had expected this.

"Both right and wrong?"

Pangu's face showed shock, looking somewhat dazed and confused.

"Noble and immortal, supreme and above all—that is Myth. As for will-power, who said one needs will-power to become stronger? Living beings are merely an aid, not the means to strengthen oneself with will-power."

"Gather all concepts, assemble all mysteries. If one is pushed onto the divine altar by all beings, this is Myth."

"And what you must do is... creation. If you create, then whatever is powerful becomes proof of the Supreme."

Li Mo spoke slowly.

"Creation?"

Both Pangu and the Twelve Ancestral Witches were shocked and confused.

How can creation achieve the Supreme Myth!?

"Myth is the Supreme. If one day, a single drop of your blood can evolve the heavens and myriad realms, a single breath of air can evolve the Great Dao of the heavens and myriad realms, and a single thought can evolve the river of time and space—this is the Supreme Myth."

"And the beginning of all things is creation."

"First, create a world within your dantian. Use this as the core, use this as the foundation, and then extend it to every part of your body."

"One cell is a world; one piece of flesh and blood is a vast expanse. What you must do is... support the heavens and myriad realms within your body!"

Li Mo spoke word by word.

"One cell is a world... the body is the heavens and myriad realms..."

Hearing Li Mo's words, everyone's eyes turned to shock. None remained unmoved; all stood with mouths agape.

What concept is this?

The body is the heavens, containing billions of universes, accommodating thousands of worlds!

Unimaginable!

Unbelievable!

It completely exceeds their understanding, touching upon the blind spots of their knowledge!

Even though they all knew the grandeur and terror of the path to the Supreme Reincarnation from Hou Tu, and even though the path to the Supreme Myth and the path to the Supreme Reincarnation share the same status.

Yet, compared to the path to the Supreme Reincarnation, nurturing the heavens and evolving myriad worlds within the body is clearly even more grand and majestic.

"Does Your Venerable mean for me to open up Mount Sumeru and the particle of a mustard seed within my body, thereby creating world after world in the void space? No, that's not right. Your meaning is to let me create worlds and the heavens and myriad realms directly within my body?"

He was about to speak, but seemed to suddenly understand. Pangu's spirit shook, and his voice immediately shifted.

"Correct. Not Mount Sumeru or a mustard seed, nor an interlayer, but creation within the body!"

"Use flesh and blood as the guide, use the primordial source as the mold. Open up worlds, evolve the heavens and myriad realms!"

"Creating worlds is not difficult for you; the ancient Honghuang was created by you, and upon its birth, it was already a Great Thousand World. Your experience in creating worlds is beyond question."

"What you need to do next is change your mindset; although the process differs, the result is still the creation of a world."

"The human body's Dao Treasury is infinite; what you need to do is develop this Dao Treasury and bring forth its divine wonders to the fullest extent."

"The flesh and blood of the strong all contain laws and principles; from this, evolving a world is effortless, requiring only proficiency."

"The dantian is where your Dao Fruit resides; what you need to do is transform the Dao Fruit into a world, with the dantian as the amniotic membrane, containing the Main World, which is also the location of your Foundation World."

"From this, refine every inch of flesh and blood, extend every cell, thereby opening up a world and creating the universe."

"When your physical body has contained billions of trillions of planes, when you have achieved the Heavens within your body, at that time, you will be the one standing in the highest realm of these Heavens."

"When that time comes, you can begin the second step, officially opening the path of the Supreme Mythology."

Li Mo's voice was calm, gentle, and slow; though it held no supernatural wonder, it seemed more like the Great Dao in its utmost simplicity.

Every character evolved numerous mysteries; every word gave birth to myriad creations; every character, word, sentence, and phrase seemed to present the most fundamental mysteries, revealing principles beyond imagination.

The strong are unlike mortals.

Though the physical body appears the same, in reality, it holds a different world within; it is completely a difference between heaven and earth.

Even a single cell: for a mortal, it is merely a single cell, but for the strong, it contains boundless creations.

In the realm of Pangu, a single cell of his is enough to effortlessly contain a Small Thousand or even a Medium Thousand World; creating a world is naturally a trivial matter.

The Heavens are the beginning; creating the Heavens is the true start of the path of the Supreme Mythology!

This sentence caused everyone's body to tremble; the assembled Ancestral Witches and Pangu, in a trance, seemed to feel that terrifying and magnificent realm; even revealing just a corner made them feel breathless and overwhelmingly powerful.

"Venerable One, creating worlds and evolving boundless worlds requires vast amounts of energy..."

Pangu pondered and spoke, but before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Li Mo.

"Is your Dao Fruit not power itself?"

"Break to build anew; transform your Dao Fruit into your foundation, evolving boundless worlds. Since you have stepped onto the Supreme Path, what use is your original cultivation base?"

"When the Dao Fruit is exhausted, the outline of your Heavens will appear; the rest, if life is born within the Senluo World and the thoughts of all beings gather, can naturally continue to extend."

Li Mo said calmly.

"I am taught; I understand now. Thank you, Venerable One, for guiding me out of confusion."

Pangu realized, a trace of excitement appearing on his face as he bowed deeply to Li Mo.

Break to build anew!

Since he has stepped onto the Supreme Path, what use is his original Dao Fruit?

Refine it all, transform it into the source of worlds; including his past insights, all of which can be fully utilized, brought to the absolute extreme!

"No need for thanks."

Li Mo said indifferently.

"Venerable One, this is a small token of my gratitude; I earnestly hope you will accept it."
