Chapter 253: Titans Gather! The End of Time and Space! The Supreme Appears!
If one stood here, even a powerhouse of the Great Dao would seem as insignificant as a speck of dust before it; at a single glance, beneath the lapping of the river water evolved from the crystallized time-space, one could seemingly see countless nodes and scenes.
It was truly profound and unfathomable, as if it contained the essence and mystery of all things.
Fuxi, Nuwa, Houtu, Supreme Hongjun, and other titans of the Primordial stood within the river of time and space; though they remained on its banks rather than entering it, they could still sense this surging and majestic power of time and space.
A mere stir seemed capable of overturning everything, as if it could cause an entire plane to collapse and a powerhouse to return to the void.
The powers of taboo and backlash flickered in and out of sight; though not clearly visible, they still allowed one to vaguely comprehend that touching the river of time and space would incur a tremendous backlash.
"Truly worthy of a special plane—even the backlash of a mere Small-Thousand-Grade river of time and space is this powerful. I'm afraid even those at the Jin Xian Realm of the Chaos Great Dao would find it difficult to trace time and space within this plane."
Especially Di Jun exclaimed.
But it didn't matter; they were not at the Jin Xian Realm of the Chaos Great Dao, and moreover, they still had a large number of powerhouses joining forces to assist.
"Let Resurrect Pangu and the others cross planes to come help. Gathering the strength of all of us can also ensure safety. This realm is ultimately a special plane, so we must be cautious."
Supreme Hongjun said in a deep voice.
Brother Fuxi nodded slightly. With a single thought, he created a plane passage; one saw streams of spatial power converging, and soon, a plane passage appeared beside the river of time and space. Profound spatial power radiated outward, and one figure after another walked out from within.
Resurrect Pangu and other Primordial titans descended!
All the Primordial titans had gathered!
Without idle words or wasted time, Shangqing quickly briefed everyone on the situation.
"Reverse time and space to trace back to the origin of this realm? Then let's begin."
After listening, Resurrect Pangu said thoughtfully.
Then, begin!
Boom!!!
The titans struck simultaneously. In an instant, bursts of aura imbued with the supreme charm and converging with terrifying might erupted, as if reaching the ultimate sublimation, causing the entire river of time and space to tremble.
Immortal blossoms danced wildly across the sky, Dao principles transformed into Order Divine Prohibitions, boundless Lei Ting became like a cage, time and space twisted, erupting with overwhelming force.
Visible to the naked eye, the river of time and space surged with terrifying waves beneath the mighty power of the titans, as if the river were unstable, as if time and space themselves were in turmoil.
"Reverse!"
With a great shout, the titans tore open the river of time and space and surged upstream.
In an instant, immense pressure descended, the backlash from time and space constantly assailing them, as if trying to stop the Primordial titans from surging upstream through time and space.
However, though the pressure of time and space was great, it was nothing before the combined might of the titans. Soon, they had traversed vast stretches of time, crossed boundless time and space, and already saw large numbers of scenes and nodes flashing before their eyes.
Modern era, Republic era, feudal dynasties, tribal era, Stone Age civilization...
The entire history of Earth was fully displayed before the eyes of all the titans. As if a second, yet seeming eternal, one vaguely heard a formless rumble and a 'pop' sound. Immediately after, the scenes around the titans flew past at great speed, replaced by a vast expanse of white—evidently... the beginning of the plane, the Chaos Era!
Chaos is also for nurturing, like an egg: the shell is the plane barrier, covering the crystal wall of a plane; the egg white is chaos; the yolk is the world. Any plane is like this.
Before evolution, all is chaos.
The only difference is that in some planes, after evolution is completely finished, chaos still envelops the main world outside, while in other planes, chaos has already been compressed and evolved into vast worlds, or lower realms, upper realms, and so on—no need to say more.
"That is...."
Having just returned to the very beginning of the Earth plane, as if sensing something, everyone looked toward one direction, and immediately their pupils contracted, their expressions shifting.
"I understand...."
"So that's how it is, so that's how it is...."
"It can evolve like this?"
"If it's like this...."
The hearts of all the titans trembled greatly. They only felt a sense of enlightenment surge into their minds; their own comprehensions had increased immensely, and their auras surged upward in an instant.
Billions of light-years ahead of all the titans, one saw the rules of the Great Dao being nurtured. With the nurturing of each rule, one could vaguely see the outline of a world beginning to evolve, beginning to expand, as if covering the entire chaos.
Of course, this is not the key point. The key point is... the core of the rules!
At the core of the three thousand rules of the Great Dao, there distinctly existed a certain aura, and this aura was... a living being!
Nurture rules with living beings, nurture living beings with rules!
This is the truth of the Earth plane!
Evolving the rules of the Great Dao stained with the aura of living beings into a plane—in this way, whenever living beings are born, the rules of the Great Dao will naturally resonate with them.
If fortune favors it, one can allow living beings to activate the rule aura originating from the root; in this way, they can innately wield the rules of the Great Dao, innately wield the origin of the Great Dao.
Because the two are already inseparable, already possessing countless intertwined connections!
"Living beings nurture rules, rules evolve living beings—our realm seems to be able to do this too."
"No, that's not right. The rules of the Primordial are already stable; it's difficult to integrate the imprint stained with the aura of living beings into the rules of the Great Dao."
"Unless we reverse time and space to change all this at a past node of the Primordial. If we do so, the karma produced would be too great for us to bear."
"But even so, for us this is already an enormous gain!"
"So the rules of the Great Dao can be used like this. Who says the rules of the Great Dao can only be cultivated step by step? Clearly, they can be used in other ways to unleash even greater power."
Supreme Hongjun said excitedly to himself, his heart surging.
It wasn't just Supreme Hongjun who thought this way; the other titans clearly did as well, all feeling as if they had parted the clouds to see the clear sky.
Even if this trip had no other gains, merely this attainment regarding the rules of the Great Dao could already be considered a tremendous opportunity!
After all, this gave them a deeper level of cognition, understanding, and application of the rules of the Great Dao.
For example, if they used a single Great Dao to condense a spiritual imprint, could this possibly allow this Great Dao to nurture and evolve, thereby becoming a true living being?
Including the combinations of Great Dao rules and so on—the inspiration gained was immense, as one could well imagine!
Wait!
Suddenly, as if thinking of something, or as if having realized it, all the titans slightly narrowed their eyes, and their gazes toward the Great Dao rules evolving the Earth plane had become profound.
They could understand everything else, but where did this living-being imprint come from, and where did it integrate into the three thousand Great Dao rules that were evolving?
"This is not the earliest time node of this realm. Fellow Daoist Fuxi, continue tracing back."
Seeing Minghe spoke with a sharp, forceful clang.
If the plane were still evolving, how could living beings have been born? There must be a problem here; an unknown change definitely exists. At the very least, it can be confirmed that this is not the origin of all things; otherwise, how could they have failed to see where the mark of living beings came from?
Therefore, continue to reverse space and time, heading to the very source of time and space!!!
Boom!!!
