Comprehension Ability: Creating and teaching the Dao in various worlds

"Are all human civilization citizens... now within my internal universe?"

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, feeling a heavy weight pressing on him.

In truth, there were still some citizens of human civilization within the internal universes of Xuanyuan and Xia Qin, those supreme beings.

But compared to Lin Yuan, their numbers could be completely overlooked.

Lin Yuan alone had taken on the task of transferring nearly all of humanity's civilization into his internal universe.

Of course, for Lin Yuan, this task posed no difficulty.

"At least there's been no chaos." Lin Yuan observed for a while and found that after the transfer, the countless human citizens still maintained order, methodically proceeding with subsequent tasks.

In fact, prior to the migration, all human civilization citizens had already simulated multiple transfer scenarios within the Virtual World to avoid disorder arising from environmental changes.

For this migration, the Virtual World had even lifted its restrictions, granting access to all citizens of human civilization.

"Next, when the great cosmic cataclysm occurs, I will transfer all citizens' life imprints,"

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

At present, what he had transferred was only their physical bodies and souls.

As for each citizen's fundamental life imprint, it was still drifting within the river of time of the Main Universe's starry skies.

Twelfth-layer Ultimates could move against the current, using the imprints in the river of time to resurrect Sixth-Layer and above fallen beings.

However, this didn't mean that beings below the Sixth Layer had no life imprints.

It was just that their imprints were too faint and minuscule for Twelfth-layer Ultimates to lock onto.

But Lin Yuan was different. With his current perception, he could easily pinpoint any imprint in the river of time.

If he didn't transfer the citizens' life imprints, when the great cosmic cataclysm arrived, causing the river of time to collapse, even if Lin Yuan harbored all citizens within his internal universe, they would still perish.

"By then, there will likely be some backlash from the universe."

Lin Yuan understood clearly that transferring vast amounts of life imprints from the Main Universe's river of time to the river of time within his internal universe would be akin to directly seizing them in front of the Universe's Origin Source Consciousness.

This was even graver than Twelfth-layer Ultimates resurrecting past fallen beings.

Resurrecting deceased beings violated basic cosmic rules, but at least the resurrected lives remained within the universe, still part of its domain.

But moving them into Lin Yuan's internal universe? That would mean they were entirely taken away by Lin Yuan.

This would undoubtedly test the limits of the Universe's Origin Source Consciousness.

In truth, with Lin Yuan's current strength, he could proceed with the transfer immediately; the so-called cosmic backlash posed little threat to him.

But there was no need. Currently, the Origin Source Consciousness of the universe was still at its peak. Waiting for the great cosmic cataclysm, when it weakened, and then transferring the imprints would greatly reduce the intensity of any backlash.

Facing weaker backlash, Lin Yuan naturally wouldn't choose to handle stronger backlash.

...

Chaos Void.

Boundless and infinite.

A Chaos Continent, the size of dozens of universes, began to slow down and eventually came to a halt.

This land was the Ancient Ming Chaos Continent. After countless calculations, the Ancient Ming Venerable had determined this area would not be affected by the two Chaos Great Saints.

"It stopped."

"We can finally step out."

"I wonder what this void will be like? Will it be more dangerous than before?"

On the Ancient Ming Chaos Continent, many powerful beings whispered among themselves. They had followed this land to leave, and naturally, they were curious about the uncharted and unfamiliar void.

"The Ancient Ming Venerable is merciful to bring us along."

"Indeed, if we weren't on this Chaos Continent, who knows how many dangers we would face trying to get here on our own."

These powerful beings felt fortunate, for in the Chaos Void, dangers were everywhere. The threats were not just perilous secret realms but also the potential hostility from other powerful entities.

No matter where one went, plunder remained the fastest way to obtain resources, and the Chaos Void was no exception.

The Ancient Ming Chaos Continent had sped through the void without encountering any obstruction, thanks to the intimidating presence of the Ancient Ming Venerable!

The power of the Ancient Ming Venerable was already immense, and furthermore, they had a Chaos Dragon Beast near-equal to a Venerable in strength. Even other Chaos Venerables would have to weigh their chances before daring to block their path.

The smooth journey for the Ancient Ming Chaos Continent didn't mean that lone powerful entities would enjoy the same ease.

"From here to my home universe..."

Lin Yuan studied the new environment while gauging the distance to his true form's location.

"With my current spacetime insights, it would take roughly ten years of traveling to arrive," Lin Yuan concluded.

Given that Lin Yuan's comprehension of spacetime was at the pinnacle of the Seventh Realm, it would still require ten years to traverse the distance. Reflecting on when he first explored the Chaos Void, it might have taken centuries, if not millennia.

"Ten years isn't that long."

Lin Yuan nodded. At least for now, he hadn't found any place safer than the Ancient Ming Chaos Continent.

"Hm?"

Lin Yuan's expression shifted slightly as he gazed toward the vast expanse of the Chaos Void.

He observed that with the halting of the Ancient Ming Chaos Continent, a massive surrounding area seemed to be affected.

The Ancient Ming Chaos Continent was colossal, its natural gravity field strong enough to pull in all nearby matter.

Creak, creak.

In the distance, enormous entities began to appear, drawn by the continent's gravitational pull and hurtling toward it.

These massive objects were primarily naturally-formed veins of chaotic ores, of relatively low value individually, but their sheer quantity made them threatening. Colliding and accumulating, they formed gigantic meteorites, racing toward the continent at alarming speed under the influence of gravity.

It was akin to the planets orbiting stars in the Cosmic Starry Skies, drawn by their gravitational pull.

But the Ancient Ming Chaos Continent's magnitude far surpassed that of any star. The number of meteors attracted was incalculable.

Lin Yuan remained unconcerned, knowing the Ancient Ming Chaos Continent had numerous massive arrays and defensive barriers set up. These meteors would simply be ground to dust on collision.

However.

Just then.

"Roar!!"

A pitch-black dragon beast surged out of the depths of the Ancient Ming Chaos Continent, swiftly moving beyond the landmass. With a single resounding roar, the incoming meteors shattered instantly, breaking into fragments that began to orbit the continent in a slow rotation.

"Is that the Chaos Dragon Beast?"

Lin Yuan's expression grew slightly serious. That Chaos Dragon Beast, born from the Chaos Void, was a miraculous entity—a being of unfathomable talent and foundation, so much so that it could stand on par with a Venerable at the pinnacle of the Dominator Realm.

"A Fragmented World?"

As the Chaos Dragon Beast shattered all the meteors, it began organizing the broken pieces into orbiting 'fragmented worlds' around the Ancient Ming Chaos Continent.

"With this, it has unexpectedly created many fragmented worlds."

Lin Yuan's thoughts turned. This not only resolved the issue of incoming massive objects but also gave the Ancient Ming Chaos Continent additional 'revenue.'

After all, the fragmented worlds orbiting the continent were highly suitable as cultivation abodes and fetched a steep price, starting at 100,000 Chaos Stones and in some cases reaching hundreds of thousands or even millions.

Lin Yuan had long sought an ideal fragmented world to house humanity's new home.

...

Within the hall managing the fragmented worlds of the Ancient Ming Chaos Continent.

Wanqu the Dominator was busy "calculating" the number and quality of the newly-formed fragmented worlds, classifying and assessing their worth.

"This time, we've gained over a thousand fragmented worlds. Among them, 600 are suitable for cultivation..."

Wanqu the Dominator was elated. Six hundred cultivation-suitable fragmented worlds, even at the lowest baseline of 100,000 Chaos Stones each, would amount to a staggering 60 million Chaos Stones.

"Hm?"

"Several of these fragmented worlds meet Galaxy's requirements."

Wanqu the Dominator's eyes lit up, a smile appearing on his face.

He had a strong impression of Lin Yuan—Galaxy—believing the man's true form to undoubtedly be a Dominator Realm powerhouse.

"Let me summon Galaxy over to take a look."

Wanqu Venerable immediately contacted Lin Yuan without delay.

Moments later, a young man clad in black robes emerged not far away.

Upon seeing the figure, Wanqu Venerable stood up immediately, respectfully greeting, "Master Uncle."

The figure, the Chaos Dragon Beast in its human guise, replied. As a miraculously born entity, shapeshifting was as natural to it as breathing. It usually didn't bother assuming a different form, maintaining its draconic visage instead.

The Chaos Dragon Beast, being close to the Ancient Ming Venerable, was regarded as 'Master Uncle' by the latter's disciples.

"How are the fragmented meteors?" the black-robed Chaos Dragon Beast lazily asked.

Breaking up the meteors to form fragmented worlds wasn't done for free; the effort secured certain benefits.

"Reporting to Master Uncle, the fragmented worlds created this time are of excellent quality," Wanqu the Dominator replied truthfully.

"Good." The Chaos Dragon Beast felt pleased, knowing it would reap 30% of the fragmented worlds' revenue based on their prior agreement.

...

"Wanqu wants me to come and choose a 'Fragmented World'?"

In an inn, Lin Yuan received Wanqu Dominator's message.

"This time, I'll likely be able to find a suitable fragmented world."

His heart steadied, and he immediately left for the trading area's hall.

Soon.

Lin Yuan arrived at the entrance of the hall.

...

Inside the hall.

Wanqu the Dominator was conversing with the black-robed Chaos Dragon Beast.

"Master Uncle, someone's here to select a fragmented world," Wanqu the Dominator said.

"Go ahead then,"

The Chaos Dragon Beast nodded.

It naturally wouldn't delay Wanqu's work, especially since it could directly claim a share of the income from the fragmented worlds.

"Understood."

Wanqu the Dominator nodded and immediately left the hall to meet Lin Yuan.

"Is that him, come to select a fragmented world?"

From the hall, the Chaos Dragon Beast cast its gaze toward Lin Yuan and Wanqu conversing outside.

"Just an avatar?"

With a single glance, it discerned that the Lin Yuan outside wasn't his true form.

"Huh?"

A trace of shock appeared in the Chaos Dragon Beast's expression as it seemed to sense something. The moment its eyes fell on Lin Yuan, the faint time-based bloodline within it began to tremble faintly.

"I..."

The Chaos Dragon Beast stared intently at Lin Yuan, its gaze gradually filling with fear.

A fear even more intense than when it had "foreseen" potential danger from the two Chaos Great Saints...

A fear it couldn't suppress at all.
