Eternal Time and Space

Chapter 7 The Human Treasure of the Crimson Dust Prison, the Netherworld Appears Beneath the Sea of

The moment the human-flower bloomed, Zi Chen felt as if his consciousness had formed a subtle connection with all living beings in the entire primordial world. He could feel the joy of the giant Kun in the East Sea as it swung its tail, the ferocity of the hungry tiger pouncing on its prey on the Western Mountain, the struggle of insects breaking through the soil in the dense forests of the Southern Frontier, and the fear of foxes and rabbits fleeing on the snowy plains of the Northern Plains.

The hearts of all beings reside within the heart.

This is the significance of the Human Flower. The Heavenly Flower allows Zi Chen to touch the Heavenly Dao, while the Human Flower allows Zi Chen to touch all living beings. The Heavenly Dao gives him the height of power, and the Human Flower gives him the breadth of power. The combination of the two is the true foundation of the Great Luo.

While cultivating the human flower, Zi Chen did not forget another purpose of his trip.

Zi Chen activated the Space-Time Net, extracting thirty percent of the Blood Sea's power to refine a supreme treasure.

The power of the Blood Sea continuously condensed and compressed within the web of time and space, eventually transforming into a colossal city entirely dark red.

The city walls are thousands of feet high, and countless blood-red patterns are engraved on the bricks. Each pattern corresponds to the life essence of a living being, making the city magnificent, vast, and full of vitality.

The Prison of Mortal World.

This colossal city is a top-tier acquired treasure, crafted with 30% of the power of the Blood Sea. It contains the most intense vitality and blood energy between heaven and earth, making it a treasure of humanity.

Zi Chen put the Red Dust Prison into his sleeve and continued to dive deeper into the Blood Sea.

The deeper the sea of ​​blood, the heavier the filth. In the deepest part, the blood becomes as thick as silt, and the malevolent energy and resentment contained within are enough to instantly cause any living being below the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal to lose their mind.

Time flowed around Zi Chen, isolating everything from the outside world, and he continued to descend.

In the deepest part of the Blood Sea, Zi Chen saw a twelve-grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus.

This innate spiritual root is rooted in the deepest part of the Blood Sea, nourished by the karma within it, and blooms with twelve blood-red petals. On these petals burn an inextinguishable red lotus karmic fire. This fire does not burn the physical body, but only the karma. Anyone who is touched by even a trace of it will be devoured by their own karma and fall into an abyss of no return.

Zi Chen did not take away the Karmic Fire Red Lotus. This spiritual root was one of the foundations of the Blood Sea. If it were taken away, the Blood Sea would become unbalanced within a million years. He only took three blood lotus seeds from the lotus pod, put them in his sleeve, and then continued to descend.

As soon as they passed the location of the Crimson Lotus of Karmic Fire, the blood suddenly disappeared.

Zi Chen fell into a vast, dark space.

This space is boundless, filled with chaotic and disordered spacetime forces. Time here sometimes accelerates, sometimes reverses, sometimes branches, and sometimes closes; space here sometimes expands, sometimes collapses, sometimes folds, and sometimes tears apart.

There is no up or down, no left or right, no past or future, only a chaotic void.

Zi Chen stood in this void, calculating with his fingers.

The secrets of heaven are extremely chaotic here, like a chessboard that has been scrambled by a single hand, with all the threads of cause and effect intertwined and difficult to discern.

However, Zi Chen possesses the Great Dao of Time and Space, and has just opened up the Heavenly Flower and the Human Flower, so his perception of heavenly secrets is far beyond that of ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortals.

In the end, Zi Chen managed to glean some information from the chaotic heavenly secrets and understand where he was.

The netherworld.

This is the underworld, which is still evolving.

After the creation of heaven and earth, the pure rose to become the sky, and the turbid sank to become the earth. However, there was a part of the most turbid and darkest matter that had nowhere to go, so it gathered in the deepest part of the earth and is evolving into an independent world.

This world is the Netherworld, which will become the final resting place for all the dead and wandering spirits.

However, at this time, the Netherworld was far from being formed. Time and space were still chaotic and disordered, and heaven and earth were still in a state of chaos and undifferentiated. Everything was still in its most primitive state.

A glint flashed in Zi Chen's eyes.

This is the place where the Netherworld evolved, and also the place where the power of time and space is most abundant. For him, this place is both an opportunity and a challenge.

Zi Chen released the Eternal Bell and the Central Heavenly Gate.

A silver-white bell hung overhead, and a silver-white portal stood beside him. Both vibrated simultaneously, beginning to devour the spacetime power in this void.

The Eternal Bell devours the power of time, and the Central Heavenly Gate devours the power of space. The two are like two bottomless pits, continuously absorbing the chaotic and disordered spacetime power in this void.

However, just as Zi Chen began to devour, an immense and unparalleled will descended upon this void.

The Heavenly Dao has no form, no sound, but its descent caused the entire void to pause. The chaotic spacetime solidified at this moment, the surging chaos stopped, and even the power of time within Zi Chen's body experienced a momentary stagnation.

The Heavenly Dao is stopping Zi Chen.

Zi Chen understood that the Netherworld was a world that evolved on its own by the Heavenly Dao, and it was crucial to the order of the entire prehistoric world. If Zi Chen were to devour the power of time and space here, it would inevitably affect the evolution of the Netherworld, and might even prevent the Netherworld from taking shape. The Heavenly Dao would not allow such a thing to happen.

Anyone else would probably have given up immediately in the face of the Heavenly Dao's obstruction, but Zi Chen did not. As a Chaos God and Demon, the Heavenly Dao may have inherited most of Pangu's power, but it is not Pangu. Zi Chen is not afraid of this newcomer.

Zi Chen raised his head, looked at the invisible will in the void, and spoke a sentence.

Let's make a deal.

As soon as he finished speaking, the operation of the Eternal Bell and the Central Heavenly Gate suddenly changed. They no longer simply devoured the power of spacetime, but began to actively sort out the chaotic spacetime in this void.

The sound of the Eternal Bell reverberated, and wherever it passed, the chaotic flow of time was straightened, the reversed flow of time returned to the forward direction, and the diverging time was united into one.

An invisible tension surged from the gate of Zhongtianmen, expanding the collapsing space, stitching together the torn space, and flattening the folded space.

The power of space and time establishes the foundation.

Zi Chen relied on the Eternal Bell and the Central Heavenly Gate, and guided by his own Great Dao of Time and Space, to help the Heavenly Dao evolve the Netherworld.

Under Zi Chen's guidance, the chaotic spacetime gradually became orderly, and the chaotic void gradually developed a distinction between up and down and the four directions. The evolution of the Netherworld was greatly accelerated, and the process that originally took hundreds of millions of years was compressed into tens of thousands of years.

The Heavenly Dao no longer hindered Zi Chen, and even began to actively cooperate.

Streams of vast and boundless Heavenly Dao power descended from the void, merging into Zi Chen's body to replenish the energy he had consumed in sorting out space and time. This was Heavenly Dao's feedback to Zi Chen.

While sorting through time and space, Zi Chen continued his devouring, but this time he was measured in his devouring, only taking what the Netherworld could bear, and never damaging its foundation.

Nourished by the continuous power of time and space, the Eternal Bell and the Central Heavenly Gate are becoming increasingly powerful. The light patterns on the bell are becoming more and more dazzling, and the cloud-shaped jade characters on the gate frame are becoming more and more profound.
