60: Chapter 60 World Will

“Bang!”

A surge of power emanated from Chen Yuan's body outside the simulator, shaking Daoist Lan Hai so much that he spat out another mouthful of old blood.

“This is... the scrutiny of the Heavenly Dao!”

This wasn't intentional on Chen Yuan's part; it was because when he saw the World Will say those words to him just now, a massive pressure bore down from the heavens.

Although there was no physical damage, it gave Chen Yuan a full body of goosebumps.

“How did she know that this was inside the simulator?”

Chen Yuan rubbed his brow, feeling that his simulator was becoming more and more unusual.

However, the Spirit Ruins Realm was once the center of the entire universe, so it wasn't too surprising that its World Will could recognize it.

“I hope it's not a bad thing!”

Chen Yuan felt a bit of regret; if his actions in the simulation brought him trouble in advance, it would be difficult to handle.

It seemed he still needed to control himself a bit in the future. Clearly, this time he had become overconfident because he was invincible in the Spirit Ruins Realm.

[You are shocked by her words, but you perceive that she has no ill intent, so you do not deny it.]

[“I see. The variable was born precisely because of you.”]

[You don't understand what she means by this, but you are stunned by the scene before your eyes.]

[In the white space before you, a light screen condenses. Within the screen is a world full of vitality, with spiritual energy so abundant it seems ready to overflow from the screen.]

[The scene shifts to a man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, leading a group of people in battle within this world.]

[The next scene shows this man arriving at this very place, holding something unknown in his hand.]

[In an instant, the world changes color, and even this place begins to show faint signs of collapse.]

[You finally realize that this man must be the Xiao Huohuo that Gu Yue mentioned, the one who caused the disaster of the entire Spirit Ruins Realm!]

[The World Will speaks again, telling you that since ancient times, there have been many different Great Worlds within the Chaos Universe.]

[The Spirit Ruins Realm you are currently in, as well as the Upper Realm and other small worlds, all belong to the Universal Spirit Realm, and there are many other Great Worlds like it.]

[The World Will before you is actually the world source of the Universal Spirit Realm. It's just that because it later split into many small worlds, the Heavenly Dao of the Universal Spirit Realm became dispersed.]

[At the birth of every Great World, it carries a Chaos Supreme Treasure, just like the space-time mirror on your person!]

[Of course, the space-time mirror is not the Chaos Supreme Treasure of the Universal Spirit Realm; the Chaos Supreme Treasure of the Universal Spirit Realm is called the universal drum.]

[Through the description of the world source, you learn that the universal drum was scattered when the various small worlds were born, and it is now lost in various parts of the Universal Spirit Realm.]

[It was precisely because Xiao Huohuo obtained half of the fragments of the universal drum that his rise was so rapid.]

[This person used the universal drum to quickly unify the Lancang Realm, shamelessly stole the world source of the Spirit Ruins Realm, and then left the Universal Spirit Realm with half of the universal drum.]

[However, to everyone's surprise, Xiao Huohuo allowed the Lancang Realm to instigate a war between the two realms with the goal of destroying the Universal Spirit Realm!]

[Once the Lancang Realm devours all the remaining world source of the Spirit Ruins Realm, the entire Universal Spirit Realm will collapse.]

[Except for powerhouses who have stepped into the Emperor Realm and can break through the space of the Great World to travel to others, everyone else will die due to their foolish actions.]

[Once the Lancang Realm devours all the remaining world source of the Spirit Ruins Realm, the entire Universal Spirit Realm will collapse.]

[Except for powerhouses who have stepped into the Emperor Realm and can break through the space of the Great World to travel to others, everyone else will die due to their foolish actions.]

[You are shocked beyond words. If it truly is as she describes, you would be unable to escape death even in the Upper Realm.]

[But then you remember that in the last simulation, decades had passed since the war in the Upper Realm, and you were still alive and well.]

[However, you don't dare to gamble. After all, the devouring of world sources certainly cannot be completed in just a few decades or a century.]

[You estimate that with your current cultivation speed, without any fortuitous encounters, it would take at least three thousand years to touch the threshold of the Emperor Realm.]

[While the devouring of the world source is slow, it might only take a thousand years to complete.]

[Moreover, there is no need for the world source to lie to a mere Body Integration Stage cultivator like you. If you don't break through to the Emperor Realm before the world source is completely devoured, you will be unable to escape death even with the simulator!]

“Damn! So that's how it is!”

Chen Yuan, outside the simulator, was dumbfounded. He had originally thought that as long as he fled to the Upper Realm and laid low, everything would be fine.

He would wait until he had the strength to slowly seek revenge.

He didn't expect the script to be written this way; the entire Universal Spirit Realm would probably collapse before he even began his revenge.

“Then what should I do? Is it possible I have to drag that Xiao Huohuo back and give him a beating?”

Chen Yuan felt his vision go dark. Right now, preventing the invasion from the Upper Realm seemed like the simplest option.

[You ask her where the remaining half of the universal drum fragments are, but she shakes her head, saying she doesn't know either.]

[Because she has lost seventy to eighty percent of her source, her strength is less than a third of its original. Now, she can only rely on an ancient divine beast to guard this place.]

[You are filled with sighs after learning this, and at the same time, you feel some confusion about your future.]

[But then you think that you have a Chaos Supreme Treasure on you, after all. Could you really not beat a half-baked person like Xiao Huohuo?]

[You believe that with the help of the simulator, you will definitely be able to resolve this situation.]

[However, the World Will's purpose in seeking you out this time is not just to tell you these things, but to hope that you can help her save the Universal Spirit Realm.]

[You can't help but feel a headache. With your Body Integration Stage level, you'd be drowned by the spit of the people in the Upper Realm. What kind of help could you possibly provide?]

[The World Will does not speak, but you feel a surge of gentle energy rushing in from all directions.]

[This feeling is even more comfortable than when you advance in realm. Then, the World Will speaks.]

[She tells you that although she doesn't know why a Chaos Supreme Treasure exists on you, since the Chaos Supreme Treasure chose you, it means you must carry the Mandate of Heaven and are the variable of the entire Universal Spirit Realm.]

[She has helped you complete your source aura in the Universal Spirit Realm. You feel that your cultivation aptitude has been repaired, but your cultivation bottleneck has only slightly loosened. You are still some distance from a breakthrough and need to go into seclusion to digest this energy.]

[At the same time, a perfectly round bead appears before you.]

[She tells you that in the various small worlds today, many figures from the ancient era are slumbering.]

[These people have slept until now for various reasons. Although their intentions vary, in the face of the collapse of the entire Universal Spirit Realm, they will certainly help you to some degree.]

[With that, you feel her voice growing weaker. The scene before your eyes flashes, and you instantly reappear in front of the rift.]

[The Qilin beside you is lying on the ground, staring at you grumpily.]

[You guess that the World Will must have fallen into a slumber after helping you complete your aura. You sigh helplessly, unsure if this matter is good or bad.]

[Before leaving, you exhaust your materials to set up an Eighth-Rank Protective Array here to prevent others from discovering it.]

[The Qilin notices your actions, and the dissatisfaction in its eyes softens quite a bit.]

[A drop of essence blood flies before you, and you feel your own bloodline begin to burn.]

[“No matter who you are, since you have been chosen, consider this my contribution to this realm!”]
