Creating Heavenly Laws-Chapter 523
Chapter 523
Main Universe, Mysterious Emperor's Secret Realm.
Lin Yuan opened his eyes, his brows slightly furrowed.
"Great Destruction?"
Lin Yuan thought to himself about the battle between the two Chaos Great Saints, whose fierce conflict caused the collapse of all universes within a large range, leading to an early Great Destruction. Such instances, he had indeed seen from the Devil Jade Space and the records of the Mysterious Emperor Lineage.
The attacks of the Chaos Great Saints could shatter all defensive barriers of a universe.
Even if they couldn't completely erase the universe, they could force its destruction, reverting it to its initial state.
For the universe itself, there was little impact because it still existed, but for the beings within, it was a catastrophe.
"If the Great Destruction really happens early, what should I do?" Lin Yuan's thoughts surged.
The Great Destruction wouldn't affect Lin Yuan himself. With his strength, he could easily withstand the great calamity of destruction during the collapse and enter the Chaos Void.
Even if he didn't want to enter the Chaos Void, Lin Yuan could use the Mysterious Emperor's Secret Realm to hide inside, enduring until the next cosmic era, much like the Calamity Clan did with their wooden house.
The Mysterious Emperor's Secret Realm was semi-fused with the cosmic origin, so the Great Destruction wouldn't affect it. Hiding inside meant almost absolute safety.
Additionally, Lin Yuan could use the Gate of Myriad Realms to enter other dimensional worlds. After crossing the twelfth rank, the many restrictions of the Gate of Myriad Realms had been lifted for Lin Yuan, allowing him to fully appear in any world.
This method was more reliable than the Mysterious Emperor's Secret Realm. While the Secret Realm was fused with the cosmic origin and safe, what if a thirteenth-rank Time lifeform did take action?
Of course, the existence of thirteenth-rank Time lifeform was almost negligible in terms of affecting the universe, but the possibility still existed.
But the Gate of Myriad Realms? Even a thirteenth-rank Time lifeform would find it difficult to explore other dimensional worlds.
If the Mysterious Emperor's Secret Realm was almost safe, then the Gate of Myriad Realms was absolutely safe.
In short, Lin Yuan's solution to the Great Destruction was too simple. The collapse was a disaster for other life forms, even for those at the twelfth rank of Evolution.
But in Lin Yuan's heart, he didn't consider it a problem.
It's just that while Lin Yuan himself was fine, countless citizens of human clans would likely have to make sacrifices.
"I need to inform Xuanyuan, Xia Qin, and the others about this."
Lin Yuan immediately began contacting the other nine Strongest Ones of human civilization.
When it involved the survival of all human clans, the nine Strongest Ones had the right to know.
A moment later.
Virtual World.
One by one, figures appeared on the Ten Thrones.
"Milky Way, why did you call us here?"
"What are you saying? Do we have to have something going on to be summoned?"
"Indeed, we could also gather and chat regularly."
The nine Strongest Ones of human civilization were exceptionally relaxed. Now that the entire universe had become the territory of human clans, these Strongest Ones were naturally at ease.
Previously, with other eleven peak clans posing twelfth-rank ultimate threats, the nine human Strongest Ones felt like they were treading on thin ice and under a lot of pressure.
But now?
The Calamity Clan stayed neutral, the ultimates of the other ten peak clans were suppressed, and the clans themselves had been integrated into human clans.
Now, human clans was at its most prosperous ever, and these Strongest Ones felt very comfortable about it.
Lin Yuan looked at the nine Strongest Ones of humanity, pondered for a moment, and spoke: "I have already sent an avatar to explore the Chaos Void."
The nine Strongest Ones immediately listened attentively.
Ordinary twelfth-rank Path-Clearing stage experts couldn't have their avatars venture far from the universe.
But Lin Yuan?
Lin Yuan had created too many miracles.
So when the nine Strongest Ones learned that Lin Yuan had begun exploring the Chaos Void beyond the universe, they were not at all surprised.
However.
Next.
What Lin Yuan said made all the Strongest Ones' faces change dramatically.
"What?"
"So you're saying our universe is about to be engulfed by the battle between the two Chaos Great Saints, leading to an early Great Destruction?"
Xia Qin, one of the Strongest Ones, was shocked. He didn't even know what the Chaos Great Saints represented.
But the meaning of the Great Destruction was clear.
The other eight Strongest Ones felt the same. An early Great Destruction was a disaster for all twelfth-rank beings within the universe.
"Milky Way Star Lord, are you sure this is true?"
Gu Li, one of the Strongest Ones, asked solemnly. The Great Destruction was no trivial matter; it concerned the future direction of themselves and all of human clans.
"I am ninety percent certain."
Lin Yuan nodded. The Guming Chaos Continent had already set sail to avoid the battle zone of the two Chaos Great Saints. Considering the size of the Guming Chaos Continent, how many Chaos Stones would be required for such movement?
Guming must have received concrete information.
"Ninety percent certain?"
The Strongest Ones felt a chill in their hearts.
Ninety percent certainty was almost a guarantee that this event would occur.
"When will the battle between the two Chaos Great Saints affect us?" Xuanyuan, one of the Strongest Ones, asked.
"Between a hundred to a thousand years," Lin Yuan replied.
Based on the red area marked on the map provided by the silver-haired woman, the location of his home universe, and the direct path of the two Chaos Great Saints' battle, it was the first area to be affected.
The time in the Chaos Void would be within a few years, but time within the universe flowed much faster than in the Chaos Void, roughly between a hundred to a thousand years.
The atmosphere among the ten Strongest Ones of human civilization was very tense.
"Thanks to Milky Way Star Lord, otherwise we might not have known until the Great Destruction was upon us."
Xuanyuan took a deep breath and spoke seriously.
Facing a disaster like the Great Destruction, knowing in advance versus knowing at the last moment were completely different concepts.
A normal universe entering the Great Destruction would have many signs.
The twelfth-rank beings within the universe would make corresponding preparations.
For example, starting to transfer clans, gathering many resources within the universe, and so on.
But a collapse caused by external forces arriving early—if Lin Yuan hadn't spoken, human clans would suffer greatly.
The most crucial point was that transferring human clans required time. During the Great Destruction, the Strongest Ones could carry parts of humanity within their internal universes, moving the essence of life into the temporal river of their internal universes.
But this process required time.
Additionally, the universe was vast, with many resource-rich planets and secret realms.
These planets and secret realms could be gradually mined, like money trees, but if the Great Destruction was truly imminent, they would all be packed up and taken away, even if it meant some losses.
"Indeed."
Xia Qin and the other Strongest Ones also nodded simultaneously.
If the Great Destruction was unstoppable, what they could do now was to minimize further losses.
"If the Great Destruction really arrives, resources are easy to handle since they aren't living beings. There's no need to migrate life essences; they can be placed in the spaces opened up."
"But what about our human clans?"
Xuanyuan was somewhat worried. Migrating life wasn't as simple as imagined.
Each of the nine Strongest Ones of human civilization had internal universes spanning hundreds of thousands of light-years, totaling millions of light-years when combined.
Plus Lin Yuan's internal universe.
With such vast space, even if squeezed and the quality of living environments slightly reduced, it would be enough to migrate the majority of human clans.
However, during the Great Destruction, the more lives a Strongest One carried within their internal universe, the heavier the calamity of destruction they would endure.
If a Strongest One placed all lives within the universe, including those at the twelfth rank, into their internal universe, they would suffer the cosmic origin's overwhelming force.
The cosmic origin was equivalent to the origin of the Chaos Venerable, akin to facing a Chaos Venerable in full force—those at the peak of Dominance stage would instantly turn to ashes.
Therefore.
Even if a Strongest One's internal universe was large enough, the number of lives they could take was limited.
Given the current population of human clans, even carrying one-millionth of the population would be extremely strained. Any more would reduce the chances of surviving the Great Destruction.
"I can take away one percent of the current human population," Lin Yuan pondered for a moment before speaking.
"One percent?"
Xuanyuan's pupils contracted. As one of the former twelve peak clans of the universe, the population was enormous. Even one percent was an incredibly vast number—trillions upon trillions.
"Milky Way Star Lord, ensuring the human clans are migrated as completely as possible is important, but your safety is more important. As long as you are safe, the human clans remain safe."
Xia Qin spoke with slight concern.
Normally, Path-Clearing stage peaks could safely endure the Great Destruction, provided the number of lives carried didn't exceed the limit.
But the current one percent of human clans's population had already far exceeded the limit. At least Path-Clearing stage peaks daring to carry so many lives would face the final onslaught of the cosmic origin's destruction.
The other Strongest Ones also looked at Lin Yuan. While they wanted more humans to survive, they didn't want Lin Yuan to encounter any accidents during the upcoming Great Destruction.
"Don't worry, I have everything under control."
Lin Yuan nodded. His internal universe was continuously growing and would reach a circumference of eight million light-years in a few hundred years.
With such a profound internal universe and his various methods, he should have no problem blocking the corresponding level of the Great Destruction calamity.
In fact, if within the next few hundred years, Lin Yuan could ascend to the Dominance stage, his internal universe would transform again, allowing him to carry even more humans.
But advancing from the Path-Clearing stage to the Dominance stage required Lin Yuan to grow to his utmost in all aspects. Not just his internal universe, Lin Yuan didn't have assurance he could ascend to the Dominance stage within a thousand years.
Here, the thousand years referred to the universe's time. In the Chaos Void or the Source World, it would only be two to three years.
"That's good."
Xuanyuan nodded, then looked at the other eight Strongest Ones.
"Then let's leave first and arrange the next steps."
"Understood."
Lin Yuan replied.
Mysterious Emperor's Secret Realm.
Lin Yuan felt a sense of urgency.
Even if everything went smoothly, facing the impending Great Destruction meant that ninety-nine percent of humans would die.
Even if Lin Yuan luckily ascended to the Dominance stage before the collapse, bringing along ten times the number of humans would still mean ninety percent of humans would perish.
"My strength... is still too weak."
Lin Yuan sighed. If he was a Chaos Great Saint, the battle between the Shadowfiend Great Saint and the Nine Phoenix Great Saint wouldn't shake the area he wanted to protect.
The aftermath of the two Great Saints' battle could make Guming retreat early, but for Great Saints of the same level, it was nothing.
If Lin Yuan advanced further, becoming the master of the Devil Jade Tower or His Majesty the Mysterious Sovereign, when passing near Lin Yuan's territory, they wouldn't dare make even a slight noise, let alone engage in battle.
Whether inside the universe or the Chaos Void outside, strength was paramount.
"Dominance stage," Lin Yuan thought.
Ascending to the Dominance stage, in the eyes of almost all Path-Clearing stage beings, the most difficult aspects were understanding numerous rules and corresponding mental wills.
But Lin Yuan had met all these standards. For him, ascending to the Dominance stage was just a matter of time. Once his physical body, soul, and internal universe naturally reached their peak, he could ascend.
Source World, Qingfen Domain, Yu Family.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.
"My injuries have mostly healed."
Lin Yuan internally viewed his body. The injuries caused by the dark energy erosion unique to the Dongyang family had now healed ninety percent.
"The cultivation system of this Source World."
Many pieces of information floated in Lin Yuan's mind, the most important being that including the Yu family and the Dongyang family, even the Qingfen Marquis, their cultivation paths all originated from the Liyang Ancient Kingdom.
The Liyang Ancient Kingdom was a colossal entity that Yu Yan had heard about since childhood. It was said that the ancestor of the Liyang Ancient Kingdom was the eternal blazing sun above the sky.
"Eternal Blazing Sun?"
Lin Yuan looked up slightly. Even though he couldn't determine how many timespaces separated him, he could feel the terrifying presence of that blazing sun above the sky, far surpassing what the Guming Chaos Continent had given him.
"If this eternal blazing sun is truly transformed from the ancestor of the Liyang Ancient Kingdom, then what realm is he? A Chaos Great Saint? An Absolute Great Saint? Or a thirteenth-rank Time lifeform?"
Lin Yuan pondered in his heart.
Even the images left by His Majesty the Mysterious Sovereign and the master of the Devil Jade Tower were inferior compared to that eternal blazing sun.
Of course, what Lin Yuan sensed from the eternal blazing sun was only a negligible part of its full power, and the images left by His Majesty the Mysterious Sovereign and the master of the Devil Jade Tower were the same.
The two couldn't be directly compared.
"Forget it."
"Thinking about this now is too far ahead."
Lin Yuan gathered his thoughts and began looking around the surrounding Space-time. His expression showed a hint of excitement.
"This Source World Space-time is completely different from that of the Main Universe and the Chaos Void."
Lin Yuan carefully observed every detail of Space-time, simultaneously comparing it with the Space-time of the Main Universe and the Chaos Void.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!!
Countless flashes of insight surged in Lin Yuan's mind. He felt his understanding of Space-time advancements improving in a terrifying manner.
