Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family

Chapter 720 522: Giant Spirit_2

It should be known that the Cosmic Realm has not been lacking in communication with the outside world, especially Sos, who has even opened interplanar trade shops!

"The Ancient Gods did have such an idea once."

"Then why didn't they implement it?"

"No, my friend, they took action."

"Ah?"

"Look up."

"....." Chen Zhixing followed Sos's words and looked up, and then he understood what Sos meant by 'Immortal Ship'.

It was the hundreds of Divine Kingdoms above them, still shrouded in the flames of war!

"Yes, the Ancient Gods extracted the essence of the World Tree's trunk to extend their own lives, and with the remaining trunk material, they fashioned their own Divine Kingdoms, hoping these Divine Kingdoms would one day grow and be perfected, allowing them to escape from the Cosmic Realm—a ship destined to perish. Although they are all dead now, their Divine Kingdoms remain. These Divine Kingdoms can be considered what you might call half-finished products of those Immortal Ships capable of traveling the Star Sea."

Sos stated matter-of-factly, showing no fear that Chen Zhixing might set his sights on these Divine Kingdoms.

The truth was indeed such.

After observing for a while, Chen Zhixing reluctantly chose to give up.

"These Divine Kingdoms are too large. What were those Ancient Gods thinking, planning to use such massive land masses for long-distance travel through the Star Sea?"

Without exaggeration, this kind of idea seemed insane to Chen Zhixing.

One must know, the energy recycling ability of a Divine Kingdom is extremely low. If placed in the Star Sea, where absorbing energy is limited, these Divine Kingdoms, let alone carrying people for long journeys, would soon be struck by meteors drawn by gravity, or even captured by the gravities of other worlds!

Therefore, an Immortal Ship intended for long-distance travel through the Star Sea is inevitably designed to be not too large.

This fact is true whether it's the Celestial Saint Palace or Bai Yu's Jade Wave Shuttle Immortal Ship.

And one point to note.

Being small in external appearance does not mean it can't carry many people. Take Bai Yu's Jade Wave Immortal Ship; if it doesn't care about some low-level cultivators' practices, it can transform into a medium-sized Secret Realm that can support ten thousand people, and such an exaggerated Secret Realm, when shrunk, can even be carried by Bai Yu himself. From this, one can imagine how much effort the Immortal Ascension Sect has put into the Jade Wave Immortal Ship.

In comparison, the Divine Kingdoms created by the Ancient Gods of the Cosmic Realm, though offering a larger living area than the Celestial Profound Realm, lack the essential driving force, making them merely ornamental shells suspended in the skies of the Cosmic World like illegal constructions.

As for long-distance travel, during such times of starry sky drifting, these Divine Kingdoms, built merely by amassing materials, didn't stand a chance!

Who would have thought, Sos presented another different concept.

"I know the Immortal Ships of the Celestial Profound Realm primarily pursue lightness and convenience, but the Ancient Gods of the Cosmic Realm took a different path."

"A different path?"

"Yes, they intended for their small worlds to become planets within the Star Sea, traveling fixed trajectories by the gravitational pull of stars, and to achieve this would require sufficient mass."

"Uh.... you mean, they plan to transform their Divine Kingdoms into small worlds and then... drift massively???"

"Exactly, because natural drifting has too many uncertainties, most Ancient Gods created complete ecological systems within their Divine Kingdoms, allowing the life inside to survive even after tens of thousands of years, which is what you observed in the Celestial Vault Divine Kingdom."

"And what about the initial propulsion, now they manage to let these massive Divine Kingdoms escape the Cosmic Realm's gravity to drift in the starry sky?" Even with Sos's explanation, Chen Zhixing found the approach unbelievable!

Then.....

"The Ancient Gods believed they could lift their Divine Kingdoms out of the Cosmic Realm."

"Pfft!"

Chen Zhixing was thrown off by Sos's remark, finding it ridiculous!

In disbelief, Chen Zhixing repeated, "Lifting their Divine Kingdoms to escape the world's pull???"

"Yes, the Ancient Gods thought they could do it," Sos shrugged. In truth, he also found it quite nonsensical.

Indeed.

The Ancient Gods were undeniably powerful, especially with the support of laws in the Cosmic Realm. These Ancient Gods could even hold their Divine Kingdoms aloft in the sky, preventing them from crashing down.

But to break out of the Cosmic Realm.....

That's a completely different matter!

The reason the Divine Kingdoms float in the sky of the Cosmic Realm is due to the law frameworks of the Cosmic Realm, meaning it's the laws of the Cosmic Realm perpetually maintaining these Divine Kingdoms in suspension.

But without the Power of Laws....

Put it this way, Chen Zhixing could destroy a world meaningfully, even alter the terrain of a world to some extent, but to suggest that without the Power of Laws, he could lift the land of a county out of this world—it's like dreaming!

In his lifetime, he had seen only through certain treasures containing small worlds within items like small green bottles or the Celestial Saint Palace could cultivators achieve such feats.

But without the Array, removing the Power of Laws, to make Chen Zhixing do the same, he would say don't even dream about it, just go to sleep.

Otherwise, try doing it if you think you can!!!

After an awkward pause, Chen Zhixing suddenly uttered, "In ancient times, there was a god named Giant Spirit, born with divine power, capable of carrying mountains and rivers."

He was giving Sos a way out, lest the Ancient Gods of the Cosmic Realm seem too foolish.

As for the Giant Spirit God described in that saying.... the most basic point is that it's an Immortal!

Furthermore, when lifting mountains, he relied on magic, the Power of Laws and himself, not just brute force!

"Alright, my friend, you don't need to comfort me. I know it sounds absurd, but personally, I think there's hope in this method. I even believe, had they not died too early and were given enough time, they might have succeeded at it," said Sos with a smile, seemingly unaffected by Chen Zhixing.

"You really believe it?" Chen Zhixing still found it hard to comprehend.

"Why not?" Sos curiously asked, then smiled and answered his own question; "My friend, do not forget where you are now—the Cosmic Realm itself. It is essentially a drifting World Tree in the Star Sea, and as Ancient Gods from the Cosmic Realm, they developed starry-sky vessels following the model of the World Tree. As a junior, I see nothing wrong with this approach."

Chen Zhixing: "..."

He suddenly felt Sos made a lot of sense!!!

You say such things can't happen, yet the counterargument immediately points out an actual example! And moreover, that example really exists!

After all, the Cosmic Realm is here, and the body of the Cosmic Realm—that World Tree—indeed could travel through the starry sky. Who knows how many years it drifted in the cosmic expanse before falling to the hands of numerous Ancient Gods who divided it among themselves.

With such an example, why shouldn't Sos believe, and why shouldn't Chen Zhixing?

It could be said that Sos's words opened up a new perspective for Chen Zhixing, leaving him dumbfounded for quite a while before suddenly saying:

"Go on with your business, I'm off now."

"What are you going to do?"

"I just realized that the Ancient Gods' approach is quite brilliant. I'll go and see if it can be practically implemented!"

Sos: "???"
