Chapter 456: The Heavenly Dao Fills the Void, Kieran

~15 min read 2,810 words

The Star Tower is Chu Yang's latest scientific research achievement in the Super God universe.

Now, in the known universe, every civilization that has joined the War Council can receive a Star Tower.

The Star Tower stands on the main planet of a civilization; it doesn't have any particularly special function, other than allowing the War Council to synchronize various data from each civilization at all times through it.

This is not considered surveillance, but rather real-time registration, to prevent any civilization from trying to play the pig to eat the tiger by reporting false situations and launching an unequal war.

There is also one most critical function: the Star Tower will perform a "judgment" in real-time. As long as a civilization suffers a devastating blow, the Star Tower's signal will go out.

To put it bluntly, the extinguishing of a Star Tower signal means the demise of a civilization.

Of course, the factors that can lead to the demise of a civilization are by no means just external wars; they could also be internal strife or erroneous development leading to self-destruction.

Just like the Earth of the past; if it hadn't stepped into the cosmic era, with the increasing consumption of non-renewable resources and the increasingly deteriorating ecological environment, it would sooner or later have headed toward a self-destructive end.

It's just that Ge Xiaolun's phrase, "As long as the tower stands, the people remain," truly gave Chu Yang a sense of imagery rushing toward him.

Just at this moment, a voice suddenly came from below.

"Hubby! Brother Monkey is back!"

The bodies of the four lecherous dogs instantly tensed up, just like elementary school students who had heard their head teacher's voice, each of them becoming meek and submissive.

Chu Yang got up and stretched, then said with a smile, "You guys continue, I'm leaving first!"

As the words fell, his figure flashed and disappeared from where he was.

The four of them remained tense for a long while before finally letting out a sigh of relief. Liu Chuang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with lingering fear, "Why do I feel a chill in my heart whenever I hear Qilin's voice now?"

Cheng Yaowen agreed deeply, "Me too!"

Ge Xiaolun and Zhao Xin looked at each other, both seeing a trace of fear in the other's eyes.

There was no help for it; the current Qilin was simply too strong, and furthermore, they had once been comrades who had shared hardships, knowing each other extremely well.

She knew exactly what kind of character they had, so the four lecherous dogs had been disciplined by Qilin quite a few times in this courtyard for various reasons.

The main thing was...

Whether it was Zhi Xin, Leina, or Yan, they all stood firmly on Qilin's side.

As long as Qilin spoke, they couldn't avoid being punished by their own women.

This had caused the four lecherous dogs to form a "henpecked" alliance; let alone seeing Qilin, even hearing her voice made them tuck their tails between their legs.

"I reckon only the Instructor can see Qilin's gentle side!" Liu Chuang said with emotion.

Ge Xiaolun said meaningfully, "We don't understand the Instructor's happiness!"

While speaking, he couldn't help but feel a bit envious.

He was still here facing multiple-choice questions, while the Instructor had long since been living a life of having a beauty in each arm.

…………

As soon as Chu Yang entered the door, he saw Su Xiaoli walking out of the kitchen wearing an apron and carrying dishes.

Qilin took a bathrobe, stepped forward to help him put it on, and even reached out to poke his abdominal muscles, her eyes flowing with emotion.

Chu Yang didn't mind, walked directly to the dining table, sat down, and said, "Where's Brother Monkey?"

Qilin said while serving him soup, "He has already entered the Milky Way galaxy and is expected to arrive on Earth within five minutes."

"He is becoming less and less like a god now..." Chu Yang shook his head and laughed.

Nowadays, Sun Wukong completely considers himself a cultivator, is extremely unimpressed by various technological products, and even disdains taking the Great Wormhole Bridge or using wormhole jumps.

No matter how far the distance, he relies on his own cultivation to travel.

In his own words, this is also a kind of cultivation.

After eating, the two women went out shopping together, while Chu Yang sat on the sofa, having a remote call with He Xi to discuss some academic issues.

It must be said that even if her hard technology is relatively lagging, He Xi always has some unique insights in academic understanding that can bring Chu Yang a lot of inspiration.

Of course, not just her; Liang Bing is the same.

It's just that every time she talks to Chu Yang, Liang Bing gets so angry she jumps, so unless there is a major research breakthrough, she rarely comes to ask for trouble.

Just at this moment, Chu Yang raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother Monkey is back, let's stop here!"

The other end of the communication was silent for a moment, and then He Xi asked, "Are you leaving?"

Chu Yang thought for a while and said, "I have to go take a look eventually!"

He Xi asked again, "When are you setting off?"

"Within three days." Chu Yang's answer was simple and clear.

"Did you forget something?" He Xi's tone was somewhat unfriendly.

Chu Yang laughed and said, "Don't worry, we'll talk about that matter when I return."

"If I have a major discovery in the unknown universe, perhaps I can let her undergo a leap in life level."

He Xi was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and said, "I wish you success, take care!"

Hanging up the communication, Chu Yang looked out the window, and finally, a golden light flashed, and Sun Wukong appeared in the living room.

Wearing a Daoist robe, his face was solemn, his body exuded a faint golden light, and his eyes were full of spiritual charm, appearing quite immortal and transcendent.

"How was the harvest?" Chu Yang went straight to the point.

Sun Wukong sat cross-legged opposite the coffee table, appearing somewhat out of place with everything around him, and said leisurely, "He has become stronger, unfathomable!"

Chu Yang was not surprised; Ao Ting had discovered signs of life in the unknown universe and caused some not-so-small disturbances.

By a stroke of luck, this led to the universe's Heavenly Dao filling in a part of its missing pieces.

That is why Chu Yang had Sun Wukong go to the edge of the universe to test the Heavenly Dao.

Sun Wukong's power had already transcended the level of the gods of the universe, and coupled with a cultivation that the Heavenly Dao did not tolerate, the Heavenly Dao of the universe would never let him cross the boundary.

If Chu Yang tested it himself, the two sides would inevitably have a falling out; after all, if the Heavenly Dao recovered its strength significantly, it would certainly not miss any opportunity to wipe him out.

But Sun Wukong was different; even if he couldn't defeat the Heavenly Dao, he could completely retreat unscathed, and the Heavenly Dao would never go to great lengths to intercept and kill him.

As for why the Heavenly Dao didn't take action against Chu Yang directly on Earth?

This brings us to the Void...

Because the recycling bin had been completely destroyed by Chu Yang, the Heavenly Dao had to be cautious in dealing with life and major civilizations in the known universe.

If a struggle between it and Chu Yang led to the demise of civilizations in the universe, it was undoubtedly something neither side wanted to see.

After all, without a recycling bin, the Heavenly Dao would have no way to delete save files and start over.

Once a universe is devoid of life, it can only enter a state of chronic decay.

"You look like you're in good shape..." Chu Yang looked Sun Wukong up and down while simultaneously running a comprehensive analysis with Pan Gu, but found no abnormal data.

This meant Sun Wukong hadn't sustained any serious injuries; if the Heavenly Dao hadn't intentionally gone easy on him, it meant that although the Heavenly Dao had replenished some of its missing parts, its power was still limited.

Sun Wukong nodded and said, "Although it has become stronger, it seems to have some reservations, pulling back most of its power at the final moment." This wasn't the first time Sun Wukong had clashed with the Heavenly Dao; the last time was when he had a major breakthrough in his realm, which had drawn the suppression of the Heavenly Dao.

It could be said that in the Super God world, apart from Chu Yang, Sun Wukong was the person who understood the Heavenly Dao the best.

Chu Yang reached out his hand and said with a smile, "Since the matter is over, it's time to return the item."

Sun Wukong's expression stiffened. He took out a long staff with some reluctance and handed it to Chu Yang, saying with a face full of attachment, "This is a supreme Buddhist artifact; its owner must be extraordinary!"

Chu Yang took the Heavenly Yang Staff, his expression somewhat strange.

Extraordinary?

If you knew that the current owner of this Heavenly Yang Staff is just a clone of yours, I wonder what you would think?

To ensure nothing went wrong and to avoid any accidents with Sun Wukong, Chu Yang had requested the Heavenly Yang Staff, which had fused with the Great Thousand Demon Buddha Relic, from his Douqi Continent self.

With this thing, even if the Heavenly Dao wanted to erase Sun Wukong at any cost, the latter would still be able to retreat unscathed.

While Chu Yang was putting the Heavenly Yang Staff away, Sun Wukong remained silent for a moment before suddenly asking, "What would the... unknown universe look like?"

"It is magnificent! And also dangerous!" Chu Yang's eyes flickered. "There are traces of prehistoric gods there, hiding immense secrets."

"Perhaps... one could verify the myths and legends of Earth there, and also find the ruins of the Ancient Heavenly Court."

Sun Wukong opened his mouth, but didn't know how to continue.

He himself was the genetic code hidden within myths. In myths and legends, he was an existence who once wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace and stood on equal footing with numerous immortals and gods.

If all of this were true, it seemed the so-called prehistoric gods were nothing more than this...

Chu Yang glanced at him, shook his head with a laugh, but didn't say anything more.

Things often shouldn't be judged by their surface; everything Sun Wukong experienced in myths might just be a conspiracy and calculation aimed at him.

After all, how could the dignified Heavenly Court, filled with immortals and gods, be forced into submission by Sun Wukong alone? Of course, before figuring out everything about the prehistoric era, Chu Yang wouldn't make any rash judgments.

After all, who knows, perhaps the immortals and gods of this Super God world were all just half-baked.

Not to mention anything else, Chu Yang could be certain that even if a Heavenly Court truly existed in the prehistoric era of the Super God world, and even if that Haotian truly existed within it, it absolutely could not be compared to the Haotian manifested by the Bankai of 【Heavenly Gate】.

Otherwise, how could it have been schemed against by the mere Super God Heavenly Dao?

Sun Wukong asked thoughtfully, "Could it be that the Earth of 100,000 years ago was the origin of the prehistoric gods?"

Chu Yang shook his head. "No, Earth at most has some connection to the prehistoric era."

He could now be almost certain that prehistoric civilization absolutely did not exist in the known universe.

And in the known universe, any traces related to the prehistoric era that could be found were almost impossible to trace back to their roots.

Linking this to the Void as a recycling bin, the isolation between the known universe and the unknown universe, and the signs of life Ao Ting discovered in the unknown universe...

Everything seemed to point to one possibility...

That is, the prehistoric era existed in the unknown universe, but the Heavenly Dao had spent a great deal of effort to destroy the prehistoric civilization.

Furthermore, the prehistoric civilization had transcended the control of the Heavenly Dao, and at the same time, it had underestimated the power of the prehistoric gods, ultimately failing to completely exterminate the prehistoric civilization.

It even suffered some deficiencies because of this, and could only give up on exterminating the prehistoric civilization, choosing a compromise.

Thus, the Heavenly Dao created the Void Zone, isolating the known universe from the unknown universe, and began a new cycle of life in the known universe.

It was just that the Heavenly Dao never expected that in this cycle, a major variable like Chu Yang would appear, causing everything to spiral out of control.

The two chatted for a long time before Sun Wukong took his leave.

Over the next two days, Chu Yang spent almost all his time with Su Xiaoli and Qilin, only occasionally meeting with many old friends.

Everyone knew he was about to leave, and no one tried to hold him back, because they knew very well that Chu Yang had his own persistence, which no one could sway.

Finally, amidst the reluctance of everyone, Chu Yang left Earth and arrived at the edge of the universe alone.

Looking at the Void Zone with no signs of life, Chu Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, faintly able to feel the gaze of the Heavenly Dao.

He had no doubt that as soon as he crossed the edge of the universe, the Heavenly Dao would descend immediately.

Just at this moment, the surrounding space suddenly twisted, as if time and space were in disarray.

Chu Yang raised an eyebrow and did not resist this force, soon entering the Corridor of Time and Space.

Ignoring the many images around him, Chu Yang went deep inside and met the lifeless Jilan.

"Are you here to see me off?" Chu Yang teased with a smile.

Jilan's figure was somewhat distorted, as if it were difficult to maintain his current state. He sighed and said, "The Heavenly Dao is putting pressure on me; I had to go to great lengths just to see you."

"Something up?" Chu Yang narrowed his eyes.

Jilan said, "I want to go and take a look at the unknown universe!"

Chu Yang's heart stirred; he took out the Klein Bottle and asked, "Through this?"

Jilan's tone suddenly became urgent. "The Klein Bottle can connect to high-dimensional worlds, but you have never tried it."

"I know you have no interest in high-dimensional worlds, but I hope that after you enter the unknown universe, you can use the Klein Bottle to enter the high-dimensional world and establish a connection with me."

"Is this... asking me to help you unlock a new map?" Chu Yang's expression was somewhat strange.

"I hold onto the last of my humanity precisely to pursue the truth!" Jilan's tone was extremely solemn.

Chu Yang said with a half-smile, "It's more than that, isn't it? You want to descend in dimension?"

Jilan was silent for a moment, and only answered when his figure had already begun to fade: "If it's possible, I want to try!"

Chu Yang nodded. "I promise you, but if you can successfully descend in dimension, you will work for me."

"It would be my honor!" A hint of emotion rarely seen in Jilan's voice appeared, as if it were...

Joy!

The next moment, his figure completely dissipated, and the Corridor of Time and Space collapsed along with it.

Everything around Chu Yang returned to normal, and he felt an even stronger aura of the Heavenly Dao.

Clearly, the Heavenly Dao did not want him to have too much interaction with Jilan.

This caused Chu Yang to suddenly develop a guess...

The unknown universe... the truth of history... the high-dimensional world...

Could there be some connection between these three?

A moment later, Chu Yang put away his thoughts and then flew toward the edge of the universe without hesitation.

Regardless, all mysteries could only be unraveled one by one after entering the unknown universe.

As for the Heavenly Dao? After confirming that Sun Wukong could retreat unscathed without being injured, Chu Yang knew very well that the Heavenly Dao posed no threat to him.

Having dealt with this vicious dog blocking the path and crossing the Void Zone, a door to a new world would be opened! (End of chapter)
