Chapter 451 Let the Virtual Universe Cover the 3 Cosmic Seas!
Chapter 451 Let the Virtual Universe Cover Three Thousand Cosmic Seas!
As if in the blink of an eye, Chen Yuan's figure traversed dimensions and arrived in a completely new universe.
He had just left the wormhole and hadn't even had a chance to come into contact with the outside environment when he was immediately connected to the virtual universe network.
As the master of arcane arts, Chen Yuan was born with supreme control over all virtual universes, even if the virtual universe in this dimension was developed by Ireil alone.
At this moment, in Chen Yuan's perception, the virtual universe network was divided into two parts, just like two computers placed in two rooms, but the servers were shared.
Because there is only one origin for the virtual universe.
That's why Irene can expand her virtual universe so quickly—the origin and structure of the universe are already there, so there's no need to rebuild it from scratch.
That's why, as soon as Chen Yuan's consciousness connected, he immediately took control of the network here.
Through observation in the virtual universe, Chen Yuan quickly grasped the general situation here.
"Hmm, the two cosmic seas look almost identical, and the types of life here are no more than those in my hometown."
The so-called types of life are actually flesh-and-blood life, energy life, and plant life.
In Chen Yuan's observation, although life in this dimension is slightly different from life in his hometown in appearance, it has not yet exceeded these categories and has not emerged as a new life form.
This is normal. After all, even if the dimensions of the universe are different, they are still within the scope of this source world. Even though life forms in different universes have their own characteristics, the underlying logic of everyone is the same.
This also means that his attempt to study the life map using the life materials here may not be very effective.
However, Chen Yuan had anticipated this. Even if the efficiency was low, it was still faster than creating the unknown. Not to mention that there were many life forms in this dimension, and he could win by sheer quantity.
His initial vision of achieving an infinite divine body within an era already considered the issue of overlapping life forms.
"Master." At that moment, Irene appeared. "What are your plans next?"
Chen Yuan's goal was to collect life materials from the various races here to facilitate his research, but the method of collection remained a problem.
Directly seizing the property would be the fastest way, but that would inevitably lead to conflict with the entire universe, potentially unleashing endless carnage. Given Chen Yuan's personality, he would certainly not choose that path.
However, if a peaceful route is taken, the efficiency of collecting materials will be much slower.
Therefore, Chen Yuan's decision was "the old rule: open the Tower of Primordial Beginning."
As he spoke, he took out a brand-new Primordial Tower, which he had reforged during his free time while waiting for news these past few days. Its grade had reached the peak of the Void level.
With the Tomb Ship's speed boost of tens of millions of times, crafting treasures wouldn't take him much longer.
"The Tower of Primordial Beginning?" Ireil nodded slightly, not surprised at all.
Back in his home universe, Chen Yuan relied on his overwhelming strength to subdue many powerful individuals and promoted his power through the virtual universe, which is how he achieved the goal of conquering the entire universe.
However, in unfamiliar dimensional universes, this tactic might not be so effective, because their master and servants have no foundation here and naturally cannot gain the trust of these powerful beings.
To this question, Chen Yuan simply smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, I naturally have ways to gain the trust of the beings here."
Irene blinked, her expression slightly puzzled.
Chen Yuan didn't say much, but instructed Ireil to control the Primordial Tower and fly towards the direction of the primordial universe.
Time passed, and more than a month had passed since Chen Yuan's servant left the wormhole region aboard the Primordial Tower.
Just then, Ireil noticed a group of beings approaching him from not far away. Especially after discovering the Tower of Primordial Beginning, these beings all showed expressions of surprise and delight.
"Owner."
Ireil reported: "Native life forms have been discovered ahead, numbering over a hundred. Their physical characteristics match those of the primordial cosmic races, the Thunder Source Clan and the Sea Demon Clan."
"Understood," Chen Yuan's voice came through: "Prepare to slow down and open the Primordial Tower."
"These are all our guests."
Irene paused, then nodded and replied, "Yes!"
But I was still a little curious. Guests? Judging from the actions of these native creatures, it did seem like a premeditated encounter, rather than a chance meeting.
As expected, as the Primordial Tower slowly came to a stop, the group of beings approached with excitement. The leader, a purple humanoid creature, stepped forward and asked, "May I ask if this is the vehicle of the 'Primordial Tower Master, the Cosmic Merchant'?"
"Yes."
Chen Yuan's voice echoed from inside the Tower of Primordial Beginnings: "So you know my name?"
"To be honest, we only recently learned about the Tower of Primordial Chaos."
The leading Thunder Origin Clan True God respectfully said, "A month ago, the primordial will of the universe sent word that a world-destroying calamity called the 'World Beast' is brewing deep within the Universe Sea, and we are required to work together to find a way to combat it."
"Fortunately, the Origin Will also says that a powerful being from a distant dimension, known as the Primordial Tower Master, has descended upon the Cosmic Sea, carrying various precious treasures and the legacy of an ancient civilization, and intends to trade with various parties."
"Guided by the primordial will, we joined forces with the powerful members of the Sea Demon Clan, another peak race, and came ahead to wait. Unexpectedly, we indeed found the Primordial Tower."
"I see."
A faint voice came from inside the tower: "I understand. The calamity of the World Beasts is indeed far-reaching. Once the World Beasts reach their peak, not only will the entire Cosmic Sea become their hunting ground, but even the Primordial Universe will be devoured by them."
"The will of your universe actually revealed my whereabouts to you ahead of time. It seems it's really in a hurry."
Upon hearing these words, the local powerful beings couldn't help but exchange glances and gasp in shock.
The primordial will did not reveal much information about the World Beast Calamity, only saying that it was a world-ending disaster. Only now did they learn the details from this Primordial Tower Master.
Are the Beasts of the Realm really that terrifying? They're even devouring the primordial universe! No wonder the Origin Will acted out of character and issued a series of divine decrees.
The original cosmic will in this dimension does not have an "Ancestral God Cult" acting as its representative. Instead, it is a conference composed of three supreme races. Any divine pronouncements from the original will are usually conveyed to this conference.
However, the primordial will rarely express its opinions; since the trillions of years since the conference was established, the primordial will has conveyed no more than ten messages.
Unexpectedly, this inexplicable world beast caused the primordial will to issue several decrees in succession. Combined with the information told to them by the "Primordial Tower Master", the ending of the destruction of the universe sea appeared in everyone's mind.
"Primordial Tower Master," the leading Thunder Origin Clan True God couldn't help but ask, "The calamity of the World Beasts is so terrifying, do you have any way to deal with it?"
"While peak-stage World Beasts are terrifying, the growth-stage World Beasts in the Cosmic Sea are not that strong. Generally, Eternal-level beasts—that is, those that surpass the level of Holy Land Lords—can handle them."
Chen Yuan continued to intimidate: "Although I am not afraid of the Beasts of the Realm, I am not a native life form of your dimension, and the supreme rules restrict my actions."
"Therefore, the only way to resolve the calamity of the Beast Realm is for you to rely on yourselves."
"Forget about the Eternal level, but if we can gather a few dozen 10th-tier True Gods, we still have a sliver of hope of success against those World Beasts that are still in their gestation period."
A beast in its growth stage? A beast in its gestation stage?
The former requires an Eternal level beyond the Lord of the Holy Land to contend with, while the latter requires gathering dozens of Tenth-Order True Gods.
The group looked at each other in bewilderment. They couldn't even gather enough people to surpass the Lord of the Holy Land, let alone a True God.
No matter which cosmic sea it is, True Gods belong to the absolute top level. Not to mention dozens of them, the three major races combined don't even have ten True Gods.
"Of course, you don't need to worry. The world beasts that can be discovered by the primordial universe are basically only in the gestation period. It will take at least several hundred billion epochs before these world beasts grow up."
Chen Yuan continued, "Given such a long period of time, you still have a chance to produce sufficiently strong individuals."
"A few hundred billion epochs—is that a long time?" The Thunder Origin Clan True God smiled bitterly: "Tower Master, you may not know this, but our clans have existed for trillions of epochs, yet we still have less than ten True God powerhouses. A mere few hundred billion epochs is probably far from enough to meet your requirements."
Just then, a deep blue-skinned sea demon true god asked, "Tower Master, you just said that the gestation stage of the Realm Beasts still requires a lot of time to grow. Is it possible for us to find the Realm Beast's lair in advance and eliminate it while it is still weak?"
"Deal with the gestation-stage World Beasts?" Chen Yuan paused before saying in a strange tone, "There are a billion gestation-stage World Beasts, each equivalent to a True God. Can you handle them ahead of schedule?"
"A billion true gods?!"
These words shocked everyone once again. The Sea Demon True God who had just asked the question blurted out, "This is impossible! If the Realm Beasts are so powerful, doesn't that mean we have no hope?"
"If the Beast of the Realm didn't have this strength, it wouldn't be considered a disaster."
"However, it's not like you have no hope."
This statement caught their attention. Then Chen Yuan said calmly, "The reason why you have difficulty producing true god-level experts is that you lack guidance and inheritance, especially after becoming the Lord of the Universe, you are just groping around blindly."
"I have inheritances here ranging from the Immortal stage to the limit of True God, and even inheritances that surpass True God. I can sell all of these to you."
"With the guidance of these inheritances, you will continuously produce true god powerhouses, and true gods will also have the hope of reaching the ultimate."
"Only you are qualified to fight against the calamity of the world beasts."
After a pause, Chen Yuan added, "Of course, besides these inheritances, I also have True God-level treasures for sale, which can greatly enhance the combat power of True Gods."
"A true god-level treasure? Is it a treasure of the strongest?" The true god of the Thunder Origin Clan was shocked and immediately took out a supreme treasure for Chen Yuan to see.
"That's right," Chen Yuan said. "I have many treasures of this level here. As long as you can afford the price, you can buy as many as you want."
Upon hearing this, the native life forms present all showed excited expressions. A true god-level inheritance? And a supreme treasure for sale without limit?
"May I ask, Tower Master, how exactly shall the transaction proceed?" The Thunder Origin Clan True God took a deep breath and inquired, "Although we are very tempted by the Tower Master's treasures, we are also very poor and are afraid we cannot offer any treasures that would tempt the Tower Master."
"Ha, I'm not short of treasures."
Chen Yuan smiled faintly: "Don't worry, since I'm willing to make the deal, you can definitely afford the price."
"You'll see the specific trading rules once you enter the tower. If you're still worried, you can just send in an avatar."
Therefore, the leaders of the Thunder Source Clan and the Sea Demon Clan voluntarily entered the Primordial Tower, of course, they all entered as incarnations of divine power.
After guiding them in, Chen Yuan conjured a phantom clone to personally receive the two guests.
The Tower of Primordial Beginnings, the twentieth level of space.
After a brief explanation, the Thunder Origin Clan True God understood the trading rules. Although the normal purchase price of treasures was very low, the Primordial Tower did not restrict the types of items it would purchase, and even accepted remnants!
Upon seeing this, the Thunder Origin Clan's True God quickly thought of selling the remnants accumulated by his clan over countless epochs, calculated the value of these remnants, and immediately showed excitement.
"Excellent! These worthless wreckage can actually be exchanged for a supreme treasure!"
"Not to mention those tempting legacies, the path after becoming a true god—"
Thinking of this, the Thunder Origin Clan True God couldn't help but take a deep breath.
To be honest, he wanted both the inheritance and the treasure, but unfortunately his family wasn't wealthy enough, so he couldn't have his cake and eat it too.
Regarding the difficulties faced by the Thunder Origin Clan's True God, Chen Yuan pointed out a clear path for him: "If you want to exchange for the Source of the Great Dao, besides the remnants accumulated by your clan, there are two other ways to obtain it, and they are not difficult."
Upon hearing this, the Thunder Origin Clan True God remained calm and cautious, asking, "What method does the Tower Master propose?"
"The first method, naturally, is to find the ancient civilization relics that are scattered throughout the cosmic sea."
Chen Yuan smiled and said, "The Tower of Primordial Beginnings doesn't consider the rarity of items when purchasing them; it only considers the quality of the materials. We'll even buy remnants!"
"That's why the materials from those relics in the Cosmic Sea are also valuable to me. As long as the quantity is large enough, I can exchange them for a lot of the Source of the Great Dao."
"Oh?" The Thunder Source Clan's True God's eyes lit up. That's right, those looted relics were no longer of much value, but the materials that made up the relics could be dismantled and sold.
"Thank you for your guidance, Tower Master." The wariness in the eyes of the Thunder Origin Clan True God lessened considerably. "What is your other method, Tower Master?"
"The second method—" Chen Yuan paused, glanced at the other party, and continued, "I have a descendant of a universe master who wants to advance to a true god with an infinite divine body. He needs various special life forms' body materials to study life structure diagrams."
Seeing the Thunder Origin Clan True God's expression change, Chen Yuan quickly added, "Of course, it will be through a transaction, and only some of the body materials are needed; there's no need to sacrifice your life."
"For this, I will give up the source of the Great Dao far beyond ordinary materials."
Hearing this, the Thunder Origin Clan True God breathed a slight sigh of relief, then asked in confusion, "What is the Infinite Divine Body?"
'
"There are two paths for the Lord of the Universe to ascend to True God, one of which is the path of divine power —"
Chen Yuan explained the division of divine power paths to him, and then said, "Among the inheritances I sell, there are inheritances of divine power paths, but they can only reach the second level of divine body. If you are interested, you can buy a copy and take a look."
"As for the Infinite Divine Body, it is too advanced. Even I am not qualified to sell it to others, let alone in the Cosmic Sea it is basically impossible to achieve."
The Thunder Origin Clan True God nodded, opened the introduction to the divine power route inheritance, and then exited after a moment, shaking his head inwardly.
Unfortunately, his foundation was already set, so even if he exchanged for this inheritance, it would be of no use. He might as well buy a True God Limit Inheritance, which would at least guide him on how to continue cultivating.
Of course, he had no coins on him at the moment, so he could only stare at the various treasures with envy, wishing he could go back immediately to collect the remains of his clan.
"That's enough, Tower Master." The Thunder Origin Clan True God shook his head. "Unfortunately, I don't have any treasures on me to sell to the Tower Master. I need to go back and collect the remains before I can sell them."
"As for the life materials mentioned by the Tower Master—this is a matter of great importance. I need to discuss it with my clan and will inform the Tower Master once I have the results."
"No problem." Chen Yuan nodded. "The Primordial Tower will always be docked at the edge of the primordial universe, and you are always welcome to come and trade."
"However, since you are a guest of the Tower of Primordial Beginnings, we can't let you come for nothing."
Chen Yuan tossed over a world ring: "These contain a hundred consciousness sensors for the virtual universe. They can connect to the virtual universe network. You can have someone try them out when you get back."
"If you are interested in the virtual universe, we have as many of these sensors as you need, and we offer discounts for bulk orders."
Virtual universe? The Thunder Origin Clan True God took the ring with a puzzled look, and probed it with his consciousness. Inside were a hundred items that resembled wristbands.
Out of caution, he did not try it immediately, but simply nodded and said, "Thank you for the gift, Tower Master. I will try it when I get back."
"Okay." Chen Yuan nodded, and seeing that the transaction was over, he teleported the other party away.
Not long after, the Sea Demon True God on the other side also left the Tower of Primordial Beginning.
After the two groups discussed the matter for a while, they turned around and left, returning to the primordial universe.
"Let's move on, Irelia," Chen Yuan instructed. "Moor the Primordial Tower at the exit of the Primordial Universe. These guests will be back soon."
"clear."
The Primordial Tower continued its relentless advance. Ireil asked, "So, Master, your method was to control a portion of the origin of this primordial universe and then release false information to these people?"
Having listened for so long, she naturally understood her master's methods.
"Yes," Chen Yuan said with a smile, "The Path of the Mind is indeed miraculous. After entering this dimension, my mind and consciousness connected with the primordial universe here, and then I successfully gained control over a part of the universe's origin, just like the universe in my hometown."
"Using this access, I issued a divine decree to this group of high-ranking cosmic officials, falsely claiming that the calamity of the World Beasts was coming and that a cosmic merchant had arrived."
"Although the calamity of the world beasts is fake, my identity as a merchant is real. With my cooperation, it is enough to prove the authenticity of the divine oracle."
"With the endorsement of the original will, these native life forms see me as a lifeline, and I can easily gain their initial trust."
"As expected of our master, I never imagined there was such a method." Irele exclaimed with admiration, "Now that the most difficult step has been taken, all that's needed is to go through several more transactions, and these native creatures will trust our master more and more."
"I'm afraid it won't be long before they willingly offer you all sorts of life-giving materials."
"The way you're talking makes it sound like I'm some kind of villain," Chen Yuan shook his head and laughed. "Alright, this matter is settled, and I'm preparing to go back into seclusion. I'll just leave a phantom clone here."
"Irelia, the future transactions and acquisitions of the Tower of Primordial Chaos are all in your hands."
"clear."
Irene replied, "Don't worry, I'll take care of things here."
"Hmm." Chen Yuan nodded slightly. "Besides that, there's one more thing you need to worry about, and that's the virtual universe."
"Once the virtual universe matures, I need you to thoroughly investigate the Cosmic Sea, and make sure to find something similar to the wormhole in the Misty Sea."
"Yes, sir!" Irene nodded, then asked, "Master, what do you intend to do—"
"It's just as you think." Chen Yuan smiled. "Since different dimensional cosmic seas can be connected, there's a high probability that there's more than one such passage."
"And if I can find a passage to other dimensional universes—then I can make my virtual universe directly cover three thousand universes!"
