Chapter 783 The History Of The Chaos Universe



Eastern Quadrant:

Wang Wei overviewed the Heaven Path Tribulation method, pondering the intricacies of this technique. The method is a unique way to use the Innate Bloodline to resonate with Heavenly Dao. Then, it will send the cultivator to a unique location to pass a tribulation.

As for what the tribulation is? The technique did not mention it. However, after passing, a cultivator will become a 1 to 6-Star Primarch, corresponding to Immortal Venerable to Eternal Emperor.

'My theory might have been correct,' pondered Wang Wei. He believed that regular, Innate Law, Primordial Law, and Grand Dao Source are connected or should have been.

His theory is if the Heaven Will did not exist in the Chaos Universe, cultivators would have to follow a linear path. First, they would have to comprehend and wield regular laws, which are different from worlds in the lower dimension.

Then, after reaching a particular cultivation stage, they would access Innate Laws, the core laws that have existed since the birth of Heaven and Earth. Innate Laws should be the same for all worlds in the lower dimension. However, they are different from each Chaos World.

Innate law should take people as far as the peak of the Grand Emperor World. So, to become an Empyrean, a cultivator will have to cultivate Primordial Law that governs the Chaos of the entire universe.

As the name implies, Primordial Laws have existed since the beginning of time, since before the births of Normal and Source Chaos Worlds. By wielding it, cultivators will no longer be limited by their Chaos Worlds and can roam Primordial Chaos, contacting and iterating with primordial species like Fiendgods.

Finally, to become Paragons, cultivators will have to understand the Grand Dao Source–the origin or source of all laws in the Chaos Universe.

By then, they would become beings standing at the peak of Primordial Chaos, beings capable of treating the River of Time as nothing but an ordinary river, traversing up and down its stream.

'However, with the Heaven Will, cultivators can go from regular laws–even no law–to Grand Dao Source. Furthermore, since even Great Emperors can wield the source of the Dao, the other laws have to be boosted to balance things out.'

Wang Wei pondered deeply, further fleshing out his theory. He believed maybe this was how Grand Dao first planned out the Chaos Universe. However, something occurred that made it change things and created the concept of the Heaven Will.

'Assuming my theory is correct, why did Grand Dao choose the path of Heaven Will instead?' continued Wang Wei.

'The development of the Chaos Universe,' he answered. 'The previous method made it too difficult to become Paragon. After all, they must comprehend regular laws, Innate Laws, Primordials, and Grand Dao Source. The time needed for a person, even with talent, to become a Paragon is simply too much.'

The time needed for the most gifted individual to become Paragon is in the hundred thousand Yuan Epochs. But in the old system, Paragons would be people who comprehended 1% Grand Dao Source.

So, the hundred thousand Yuan Epoch would be on top of all the time required to cultivate regular, Innate, and Primordial Law.

'Then, there is the difference between regular Paragons and peak Paragons.'

In the current system, Paragons have control over 90% Grand Dao Source and peak Paragons have 100% Grand Dao Source.

However, in the old system, Paragons would only have 1% Grand Dao Source. The difference between peak Paragons is too great. Although they would have all the other laws to help them, it made little to no difference.

'However, I have to admit, the old system would be more powerful than the current one.' After comprehending so many different laws, their understanding of the law and the Dao is not something people of the current system can match.

'The old system took too long to cultivate, reducing the number of peak powerhouses like Paragons. So, Grand Dao introduced the Heaven Will to decrease the difficulty of becoming peak powerhouses, thus allowing for the further development of the entire Chaos Universe.'

Wang Wei's eyes lit up as he sensed he was coming closer to the truth.

'Grand Dao sacrificed the battle strength of the old system for this new one that took shorter. No, maybe, it did not sacrifice it but used another way to make up for it.

'It created Fiendgods, boosting their Primordial Law and Innate Demon God's Innate Laws. Then, secretly manipulate the confrontation between the three Paths.

'Through constant battles, Fiendgods, Paragons, and Heavenly Primarchs can increase their battle strength while also retraining each other.'

Wang Wei placed himself in the choice of Grand Dao; he believed the desire or program of the latter is to find ways to make the Chaos Universe develop and become more powerful; that's the only thing it cares about since this might be the only way for it to increase its strength.

Under such a mindset, he discovered many things and further developed his theory.

'Something wrong may have gone with the side of Heavenly Primarchs. From the knowledge I learned from Hong'er, the universe is a battle of supremacy between Paragons and Fiendgods.

'Meanwhile, Heavenly Primarchs have become irrelevant.'

Wang Wei thought for a moment before secretly shaking his head. The Innate Demons and Primordial Gods rely too much on their bloodline and are incapable of evolving.

Honestly, Wang Wei feels the Fiendgods are also heading in the same direction. From his analysis, they are also becoming irrelevant as Paragons now rule Primordial Chaos.

Especially with the appearance of Half-Step Transcendents. If their race did not take the opportunity during the Ultimate Taboo, then their fate will be the same as the Heavenly Primarchs.'

Wang Wei took a breath to concentrate. He decided to fuse this theory with his others, creating a history timeline for the entire Chaos Universe.

'Let's divide the Chaos Universe into Eras–just like the Myriad Emperor World.

'The universe was born or created–most likely from Hongmeng. This era should be the Primordial Chaos Era, with little to no living things. Wu Hong told me about the 3800 special Source Chaos Worlds, and they should be the first worlds created in that era.

'After that, there are too many possibilities.'

Wang Wei thought about how old the universe was and how long since the Primordial Chaos Era, and he could not fathom such a thing. After all, even the Myriad Emperor World–one of the many Heaven Will Worlds in the lower dimension of the Eternal Ascension World–is probably a few million Yuan Epoch.

So, he focused on something else for his timeline.

'After that era, many races should have been born, and the cultivation era should have begun. I believe the first system discovered by Acquired Lives was the True Power Dao Realm, or body refining itself.

'So, let's call the next era the Body Refining Era. Trillions upon trillions of lives from across infinite worlds tempered their bodies, opening their Inner Gate.'

Wang Wei's eyes became brilliant as he wanted to live in that era full of body refiners competing with their fists and bodies. He could imagine the resources available back then; it made him drool.

'Something must have happened to end that era. Hong'er and I believed there should have been three gates in the True Power Dao Realm. So, I think something happened in that era that removed the first gate.

'Then, Body Refining became more difficult, leading to the rise of Qi Refiners.'

Many thoughts flashed in his mind. Wang Wei believed Grand Dao might have removed the first Gate to impede the development of Body Refiners.

eαglesnovel`c,om 'And the reason is simple: body refining took too many resources. If it became the mainstream of the universe, the protagonist of all three systems (Essence, Qi, Spirit), the resources of the entire universe would become a problem after a while.

'Of course, there is also the possibility that something else was the result of this change.'

There were too many possibilities, so Wang Wei was not too sure.

'The Qi Refining Era should be the period in the universe where the old system was prevalent. Ancient Qi Refiners had to understand regular, Innate, Primordial, and Grand Dao Sources.

'This Era was probably a fierce competition between Body Refiners and Qi Refiners. And I guess even after missing one gate, body refiners were dominant because of how long it took Qi Refiners to become Paragons.

'So, Grand Dao introduced the Heaven Will System, granting Qi Refiners supremacy over the universe.'

Wang Wei felt he was very close to the truth of the universe, thus sublimating his state of mind to an even higher level.

'Now, I wonder whether Soul Cultivators also had their Eras. According to Hong'er, many Source Chaos Worlds have a Soul Path similar to Immortal Venerable and Dao Ancestors, but others also do not have it, like the Eternal Ascension World.

'So, did they also have their glory during history? Did something happen to them, like Body Refiners?'

Body Refiners can become Inextinguishable Paragons, while Qi Refining leads to Boundless Paragons. So, logically speaking, the Soul Path (Spirit) should also have a way to become Paragon.

However, from his knowledge, the Soul Path is a lesser Dao on par with Dao Ancestors and Immortal Venerables. For people of the Soul Path to be on par with regular Paragons, they must become Insurgents.

After pondering for a moment, Wang Wei shook his head–he had too little information.

'Primordial Chaos Era, Body Refining Era, Ancient Qi Refining Era, and Current Qi Refining Era,' he thought. He knew the actual truth was even more complicated; his theory only caught a glimpse of the history of this Chaos Universe.

Regardless, the glimpse was something even Paragons might not be capable of finding or deducing.
