Chapter 898 - 840: The Changing Forms of the Cosmos
Chapter 898 - 840: The Changing Forms of the Cosmos
The four High-tier Dao, as of now, already have two officially opened.
Life.
Space.
Saints of these two types have become commonplace.
Judging by difficulty, the next type of Saint will be the mysterious and unfathomable Time Authority!
After all, the Time Authority is easy to learn, hard to master.
To take that final step, perfect one’s Authority, and stride toward the limitless possible futures, you need more than talent for comprehension—you also need a certain amount of time-related fortuitous encounters!
Besides, most people in their younger years don’t really care for the Time Authority, very few choose to cultivate it.
Because of its special nature, its combat power is very weak.
Can’t really fight, can only do all sorts of time-traveling, known as the freest of Saints...
Cultivating this Path basically kills any chance of straightforwardly fighting over territory!
Those hot-blooded young men, how could they be willing to play this kind of "ghostly phantom Saint"?
All of the above.
At present, the only Time Ancient God is still Atabia.
But that’s just a delay; sooner or later, this type of Saint will still appear.
Going by difficulty, after Time Authority appears in numbers, it will finally be Li Qing’s incomplete Ancient Material God!
"At this rate, I’m afraid that after a while, Atabia’s Long River of Time won’t have just him as the one big fish anymore."
"The waters will be full of lively fish; every leap is a Parallel Universe bubble, and every jump of a school of fish births dozens of Cosmoses."
"In the future, it really will be like His Majesty said: every minute and every second, a future Parallel Universe is born, and a future Cosmos falls into silence."
At this moment, Sylvie at his side couldn’t help saying, "Atabia won’t stay unique either; sooner or later he’ll be淘汰, if he doesn’t break through to the next Realm."
Even though most people don’t want to walk the Time Path.
Within the Saints, the Time Path is the easiest to replace!
Because once a Saint of Time proves the Dao, they fundamentally don’t need to occupy Matter, don’t need grand wealth; just dwelling in the Long River of Time is enough to exercise most of the duties of creating Cosmoses and traversing the Long River.
The other three Saints are heavily reliant on vast Matter and home-field advantage; after you break through, if you don’t have a Cosmos foundation, it’s easy to turn into a combat-power-of-five scumbag.
However, in Li Qing’s view, none of this had anything to do with him; the ones who should be anxious are those three Saints.
The Great Tribulation of Saints was approaching, and the Ancient Material God would be the last among the Saints to face it.
In the next few years, he continued to slack off, watching the glorious war-scenes of one Parallel Universe after another.
One has to say, these guys can really fight!
Each of them traveled through Cosmos after Cosmos, killing eighty-one versions of themselves to unify into one.
And as more Outer Domain Celestial Demon possessions occurred, a strange spectacle gradually emerged across the entire Cosmos—everyone was playing Werewolf.
You never knew whether your newly born baby might be the reincarnation of some enemy Outer Heaven powerhouse.
The Multi-dimensional Universe became a murky mess; everywhere was slaughter and bloody battle, each side pushing forward its own Cosmic era and launching attacks on enemy Cosmoses.
But eras flew by.
In year 213 of the Multi-dimensional Universe calendar.
A Life Ancient God named Evergreen emerged, straddling the world.
"In this current Multi-dimensional Universe era of calamity and hardship, almost no one can live out their natural lifespan. The order of Reincarnation has already become useless."
"Since the Life Divine Artifact of [Reincarnation] is useless, I shall construct a Life Divine Artifact suited to this era, to resist the arrival and possession of Outer Domain Celestial Demons, and defend our Cosmos."
The Evergreen Saint constructed the [Demon-Revealing Mirror], to reflect the Multi-dimensional Universe.
Although no massive amount of Matter was injected into it, and this illusory Divine Artifact only manifested a portion of its power, that was already enough.
Every newly born infant had to be照ed once; those Outer Domain Celestial Demons would reveal their true form on the spot and be executed on the spot.
The Cosmos ruled by the Evergreen Saint gradually became the most peaceful one in the Multi-dimensional Universe, and with the rear stabilized, they were completely freed in mind to dispatch more existences to assault other people’s Cosmoses.
"So there is such a trick."
"Exactly what I had in mind."
The other Life Saints of other Cosmoses, upon hearing of this, all constructed their own Life Divine Artifacts in turn.
[Three Lives Stone], which reflects past and present life, to see whether one’s previous-life identity is abnormal.
[Fetal Listening Device], which can check the fluctuations of the soul even while the infant is still in the womb.
The Life Saints of various Multi-dimensional Universes each displayed their Divine Techniques, a hundred flowers blooming together, forcibly pushing the Divine Artifacts of the Life Path toward all kinds of refinement.
And the Space Ancient Gods of the new Cosmoses were not willing to fall behind either.
Once Space Divine Artifacts appeared, they would completely revise the shape, dimensions, size, and layers of their Cosmos—the very form of the Cosmos would be reshaped.
The Emperor created the [Heaven and Earth Net], a series of logistics-company-like routes; naturally, they weren’t going to be caught plagiarizing someone else’s methods.
In their youth, they had to seem unique and unorthodox, forging their own exclusive Space Divine Artifacts so as not to appear weaker than others.
[Multi-Dimensional Pagoda]: sections of Crystal Wall Worlds whose shapes were reshaped and stacked into the form of a high pagoda. Because he mastered spatial forms, he forcibly jabbed the spherical Cosmic bubble into the shape of a Pagoda Cosmos.
[Cosmic Painting]: this one was even more outrageous; he turned his Cosmos into a book, with one-dimensional as the first page, two-dimensional as the second page...
This type of Cosmos was already metaphysical, touching completely on mysterious dimensions!
This Saint who created the Cosmic Painting was so dazzling that even Li Qing personally went to visit, sat and discussed the Dao with him for a full three years, and only then returned fully rewarded.
Even though it was fancy rather than practical, it looked good!
The fun factor was maxed out.
And this Saint who created the painting, when engaging in discourse with an Ancient Material Saint, remained calm and unservile; in an instant he became a celebrated tale among countless Parallel Universes, and he himself was enormously proud of it, drawing in a large number of young talents to come and take refuge.
After leaving that scroll-Cosmos, Li Qing silently吐槽ed:
"The Emperor’s tech is just about making a crisscrossing logistics delivery network; compared to that guy, he’s basically an elementary schooler meeting a grad student."
So trash!
However, it’s not that the Emperor is inferior to the other party.
Just like the Life Ancient Gods that appeared previously, some are Combat Type, some are research-oriented; the Domains of Saints vary from person to person.
What research talent does the Emperor have?
Even his earlier Martial Arts were stolen.
He’s the shame of the Creator God, lacking any creative or research genius.
He’s a Combat Type Space Ancient God; the Dimensional Flower and countless techniques are wielded to a sublime level in his hands!
These Space Ancient Gods before them were the research-type talents.
Not good at fighting, farmland-style cultivators; but once they harvest a good plot, they can play the Cosmos into flowers.
This left Li Qing dazzled, clapping and laughing. "Indeed, only when there are many Saints in the Era of Saints can the Cosmos have so many different forms."
Their previous Four Cosmic Saints, though not weak.
But the four pillars—[Celestial Path Reincarnation], [Heaven and Earth Net], [Long River of Time], [Material Celestial River]—anchored the Ancestral Universe’s template, which was a bit too monotone.
Now, with all sorts of sets of Four Cosmic Saints frequently appearing, the various Cosmic poses of the Era of the Four Saints have been greatly enriched.
"Multi-dimensional Universe, oh future of limitless possibility!"
Walking among the All Heavens, Li Qing couldn’t help but laugh and say:
"In the end, many hands make a great fire; no matter how strong our Four Saints back then were, we only opened up one possible type of Cosmos. Only now, with the Saint Realm, has the path truly branched into infinite directions."
But for now, the Cosmoses have only modified the Divine Artifacts of Life and Space.
The Long River of Time is universal to all Saints of Time, and cannot be changed! No matter how many Saints of Time prove the Dao, they merely turn into another fish in the River.
Saints of Time are still very special!
And as for the Material Divine Artifact?
There’s still no Material Saint at present, so naturally it’s still this Crystal Wall Universe structure.
If a new Material Saint truly appears, and they reshape the material form of the Cosmos, odds are this Crystal Wall house structure will be torn down by those unique, rebellious youths!
The structure of the Crystal Wall Universe will be redone into Cosmoses of entirely different shapes.
