Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family

Chapter 652: Chapter 488: Heavenly Dao Incarnation?_2

In terms of Celestial Profound Realm, this is damn well the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao!

"A mess?" Chen Zhixing looked at Him.

"Of course." The human-like entity smiled and nodded, "Unlike your Human Race-dominated Celestial Profound Realm, our Cosmic Realm was never invaded by outsiders, so those who initially grew to prominence were just some local beastly beings. As they grew stronger, the powers of the world began to lean towards them, eventually resulting in the world’s first Ancient Gods, who are the rulers of those Divine Domains you see in the sky.

But beasts, even when becoming gods, still don’t have much sense.

The original state of the Cosmic Realm was that of a World Tree that floated adrift in the Star Sea. The world’s main body was the trunk of this World Tree, its top covered by a vast canopy, with countless root tendrils below, absorbing the energy drifting in the Star Sea to transform it for the beings of the Cosmic Realm, sustaining the growth of all things.

However, when these beastly Ancient Gods grew, they occupied the sky’s canopy, and according to their ideas, refined the Cosmic Realm’s canopy—which was used to absorb external energy—into their Divine Kingdoms. Upon realizing the material was insufficient, they cut down the roots below the Cosmic Realm to use as filler. Still not enough, they used the trunk of the World Tree as filler.

Their greed went unchallenged, so they succeeded, and the result was the dominions of these Ancient Gods.

The remnant is the current Cosmic Realm: a tattered world, almost devoid of vitality, with even the path to Longevity severed, barely maintaining existence through the world’s residual attachment and plundering from outside, a broken world."

As He spoke, He still maintained a smile, as if recounting mere history that had been repeated too many times to stir His emotions.

Bai Yu: "..."

And then you appeared, acting kin, and wiped out those Ancient Gods?

Bai Yu secretly retorted.

The pressure brought by this entity before her was immense; come on, no one told her she might encounter the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao in this Cosmic Realm before she came!

Perhaps Bai Yu’s emotional fluctuation was too apparent, drawing the attention of the human-like entity, who slowly turned His gaze from Chen Zhixing, smiled and shook His head at Bai Yu:

"Not at all, miss, those Ancient Gods died naturally."

"Naturally died?" Bai Yu was stunned. Was this world consciousness before her insane, tolerating those Ancient Gods wreaking such havoc on its main body?

"Yes, naturally died, a long stretch of 36,000 years, a period so dark that it once plunged this world’s beings into despair, but in the end, the world still outlasted those brainless beasts."

"Thirty-six thousand years... Can gods live that long?" Chen Zhixing frowned upon hearing these words, associating them with the long-lived Celestial Saints within the Celestial Profound Realm.

"No, they cannot. In fact, the lifespan limits in the Cosmic Realm are similar to your Celestial Profound Realm, where mortals’ maximum achievable lifespan is about 12,000 years." The entity still smiled, but what He said next left the two of them with a chill in their hearts.

"For fear of death, they set their sights on the World Tree’s trunk, severing it twice consecutively to extract and share the Tree Heart, using it to prolong their lifespan. That’s why they lived for 36,000 years."

Perhaps sensing the astonishment from the two, the entity pointed at the ground below, continuing to smile, "Yes, the world you see has been severed, divided into three parts, and we recent arrivals used resources collected from the Star Realm to re-stitch it together, forming the three-ringed nine-layered Cosmic Realm you see today."

Chen Zhixing: "???"

Bai Yu: "!!!"

"It’s a massive project, nine-layered cosmos, with only three forest layers being the World Tree’s main body; the remaining seas and silt were gathered from outside. This process has been ongoing for nearly 20,000 years. Of course, we finally succeeded, thanks to the sacrifices of generations of Watchers."

Do you fucking know what you’re saying!

"Of course, I know what I’m saying, outsider. Please do not use your insights to judge the Watchers’ determination for atonement, as this is the reality we have already accomplished." The human-like being still wore a smile, though he seemed somewhat displeased with Chen Zhixing’s emotional exposure, so he spread his arms with a slightly annoyed tone and continued, "In the upcoming 10,000 years, I will continue to lead the Watchers in atonement. Our next objective is to reconnect those Ancient God’s dominions with the World Tree’s main body, restoring them as the World Tree’s canopy, to continue their duties..."

Bai Yu: ’This world consciousness is insane!’

Chen Zhixing: ’Did you need to say that!’

Bai Yu: ’What should we do, should we run? I don’t think just the two of us can handle this mad monster!’

Chen Zhixing: ’...’

Bai Yu: ’What are you still thinking about? Even if you have other plans, we can first return to gather more people, otherwise just the two of us really can’t deal with this guy!’

Bai Yu thought Chen Zhixing had other ideas and was a bit anxious for a while.

However, Chen Zhixing felt helpless about this.

Why run away?

Although the world consciousness before them is insane, this crazy entity hasn’t shown any malice towards the two of them; it’s merely expressing its ideals in its own way, so why must they kill this being?

"Yes, sir, I don’t have any ill intentions towards you, so there’s no need for you to worry about leaving hurriedly, including the matter of wanting to plunder the Divine Kingdoms in the sky, neither I nor all the Watchers mind... Of course, this requires you to handle those divine life forms also eyeing the vestiges of those beasts."

The entity maintained its smile, completely unconcerned with Bai Yu’s earlier comment about wanting to kill Him.

Bai Yu leaned closer to Chen Zhixing’s back upon seeing this.

Even someone in the Longevity Realm like her having her inner thoughts read, isn’t that too damn frightening!

"I apologize, miss, I haven’t read your minds, although I indeed can do so."

"No way!" Bai Yu peeked his head from behind Chen Zhixing and retorted.

"Indeed not, miss, as a higher life form, you should understand that everything you’ve ever done leaves traces in the world, including conversations and interactions between you. I can simply perceive some of the traces you’ve left in this world."

Just perceive, huh?

Can a normal life form truly achieve such a capability?

Even a true Immortal cannot possibly do this, right!

Oh, mom! This guy must indeed be the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao!

This Cosmic Realm is terrifying, I want to go home!!!

"Not exactly the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao. Actually, the Cosmic Realm’s world consciousness has been asleep for many years, and I was born a little over 20,000 years ago."

"Liar! You are!"

"Hehe," the strange entity laughed without further explanation, seemingly wanting to clarify what He truly is to Bai Yu.

However, at that moment, Chen Zhixing suddenly spoke, "He is indeed not the consciousness of this world."

Bai Yu: "???"

"He’s the amalgamation formed from those Ancient Gods after they died!"

Bai Yu: "!!!"

"Don’t be frightened by His words; He is an Earth-Bound Spirit, only looking daunting. If you disregard Him, He can do nothing; He is merely a Spirit Body and cannot interfere with reality."

After saying this, Chen Zhixing took a deep breath, ready to endure any backlash after exposing the other’s identity.

Unexpectedly for Chen Zhixing.

Upon having His identity revealed, this strange entity still nodded with a smile.

"Indeed, I am the spiritual fusion formed after those brainless beasts died. Perhaps because I inherited the essence of those beast gods, this world still shows such favor towards me... However, there’s one point you’re mistaken. Though I am a Spirit Body, I can indeed interfere with reality, just like this."

Saying this, the strange entity began to reach out and touch the ground beneath.

In the next moment.

Following His action, a gigantic tree rose from the ground.....
