Chapter 174: Zhou Yang's Universe (II)

In the Primordial Secret Realm, the Thousand Treasure River undulated, within the palace at its highest point.

Six Universe Venerables sat cross‑legged, listening to the lecture of the Chaos City Lord above.

"The Law Ocean has already dispersed; in theory Zhou Yang should have completed the breakthrough, why hasn't he emerged yet?"

The Chaos City Lord turned his head, glanced at the distance, his gaze passing through the palace wall and directly seeing another palace far away.

Inside the palace, Zhou Yang's figure sat cross‑legged, the overwhelming Divine Power on his body continuously burning, a terrifying aura sweeping all directions!

"Divine Power burning? Is this a method of experiencing Immortality?"

The Chaos City Lord's eyes held a hint of doubt.

However, regarding Zhou Yang as a disciple, he was still very satisfied.

The other's circumstances were extraordinary, and he acted with strong personal judgment, so there was little need for him to worry.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, the Chaos City Lord's expression changed slightly!

"You all wait here!"

His figure vanished instantly, descending directly into the side hall where Zhou Yang was.

However, at that moment the palace was empty! The previously cross‑legged Zhou Yang, along with the fierce aura of Divine Power burning, had completely vanished, as if Zhou Yang had never existed! "What happened?"

The Chaos City Lord's face was solemn at this moment.

The Virtual Universe Company headquarters had always been shrouded under the Thousand Treasure River domain.

Any wind or movement occurring within should absolutely not escape his investigation.

Yet just now, under his watchful gaze, Zhou Yang's figure abruptly disappeared!

It was an abrupt disappearance, not Teleportation, not Divine Kingdom Teleportation, as if he had ceased to exist in this world entirely.

The Chaos City Lord had already directly controlled a sector of spacetime, even wielded a sliver of authority from the Virtual Universe to probe, yet still could not detect any anomaly.

A perfectly healthy living being vanished completely like that! "No need to investigate, just observe."

At that moment, an extremely vague wave descended from the void, instantly transmitting into his mind.

The Chaos City Lord's expression tightened, yet his consciousness responded swiftly.

"Yes, teacher!"

He couldn't help but feel surprised.

Even the teacher was alarmed; it seems something extraordinary truly happened to his disciple!

Only, where has he gone now? This is a remote, unknown yet eternally existing place.

The boundless, viscous, grayish currents filled the entire space; every drifting strand was saturated with nearly infinite terrifying energy.

Here, time and space lost meaning, only an ancient, desolate, Annihilation aura that also nurtured infinite vitality ran through eternally!

Yet at this moment, amid the endless viscous gray currents, a single extremely faint starlight slowly brightened. "Incredible, it really succeeded!"

Zhou Yang curiously surveyed all directions.

At this moment, he was within a hazy Jin Shu world.

The world was small, its diameter only about a hundred kilometers, the entire world empty, its edge visible at a glance.

Through a layer of 'World Membrane' at the world's edge, one could faintly see endless gray currents flowing continuously. "Is that Chaos Energy outside? Then where am I connected to… the Universe Sea?"

Zhou Yang arrived at the World Membrane, curiously looked outward, but only saw grayness, unable to determine his position.

He attempted to connect to the Virtual Universe, but found that the Virtual Universe, which is almost ubiquitous in the Original Universe, was also blocked at this moment!

"Enveloped by Chaos Energy, and even the Virtual Universe is blocked; it seems I truly succeeded!"

A smile appeared at Zhou Yang's mouth corner.

Earlier he took a gamble, pouring the entire inner world, together with the Primordial Force derived from the Origin Pearl, into the effort, even burning all Immortal Divine Power.

In the end, still aided by that sliver of golden mist, he finally, by compressing endless energy to the extreme, produced the destructive power at the moment of collapse, completely tearing the Original Universe's spacetime barrier and opening a 'Black Hole' Route to this mysterious unknown realm!

Yet gathering all his World Force, Primordial Force, the majority of Immortal Divine Power and all other energies, he could only barely carve out a micro‑world of about a hundred kilometers in diameter within this realm.

Nevertheless, having reached this step, Zhou Yang's heart was already filled with boundless joy.

He could feel the seamless, almost indistinguishable connection between himself and this world! "This realm is too monotonous."

Zhou Yang gave a faint smile, and instantly the world began to change.

Rivers, high mountains, swamps, oceans, lakes, deserts, trees, plants, flowers— the originally monotonous world transformed at an astonishing speed.

As all this unfolded, Zhou Yang merely smiled.

When the realm was successfully forged, Zhou Yang knew what divine abilities he possessed in this world.

In his Qiankun World, he was almost omnipotent.

In this realm, he could already control spacetime, even to the extent of establishing rules!

Of course, now his means of controlling spacetime and establishing rules are still extremely limited.

Because this realm has only just formed, it has not reached a perfect stage.

Also, a world only a hundred kilometers in diameter, even if one can control spacetime, how powerful can the might become?

Nevertheless, that is not a problem! Zhou Yang's mind stirred, and wave after wave of 'World' Force surged wildly.

Countless dense Law Secret Patterns swiftly manifested, covering the entire World Membrane in the blink of an eye.

As the last two secret pattern threads intertwined and converged at the center of this world, all the secret pattern threads instantly became fully connected! At that instant, the endless gray currents that had been blocked by the World Membrane and drifting aimlessly were drawn in, rapidly flooding this world! "Buzz~"

Endless dazzling light illuminated all the secret pattern lines, and a massive colorful secret pattern diagram instantly formed, like a great net that completely enveloped this side of the world!

As the surging gray currents passed through this great net, they were instantly broken down! The endless Chaos‑generated spacetime decomposed, then transformed into the eight most primordial forces: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Yin, Yang, and Thunder.

"Hoo hoo hoo~~~"

The infinite Eight Source Powers poured down like a breached dam, wildly cascading from the entire World Membrane into this world.

With this endless Primordial Force supplement, the original micro‑world of only a hundred kilometers in diameter inflated like a balloon, rapidly expanding! 200 km, 1,000 km, 5,000 km, 100,000 km, 5,000,000 km… As this world kept expanding, the massive secret pattern beyond the World Membrane grew larger, and the speed of Swallow and conversion of Primordial Energy naturally accelerated!

10 billion kilometers. 500 billion kilometers. 1 trillion kilometers ten quadrillion kilometers. Only in a moment's time, the diameter of this world had already surpassed the maximum diameter he had ever achieved inside his inner world, and it continued to expand at a monstrous speed!

At this moment, Zhou Yang's consciousness merged with the entire world, instantly immersing in an unimaginable epiphany and enhancement.

In the depths of his consciousness, endless mysterious visions kept surging forth.

Universe Opening, stars are born, endless Star Domains, Secret Realms evolve. Zhou Yang silently comprehended the various insights that kept arising, and his consciousness also began to unconsciously guide. Countless primordial forces gathered, and a blue planet with endless oceans and vast lands quickly formed—this is 'Earth'. The blue planet continuously rotated along a specific orbit, at the center of the orbit a ball of fierce fire lit up, the 'Sun' was born; immediately after, Mercury, Venus, Moon. Planets and satellites coalesced one after another, a new Solar System formed!

The evolution continued, one galaxy after another, one star domain after another, countless meteorites, Secret Realms, Cosmic Gold Fragment Flow, Silent Extinction Heavenly Fire Flow and various cosmic energies, celestial bodies, marvels continually appeared, forming a true universe, Zhou Yang's own universe, was born.
