Chapter 5

Yè Mò stood in the boundless void, sighing deeply. It had been a hundred years since the Netherworld was sealed. He was about to enter the Netherworld again, and as long as he took the World Mountain and repaired the boundary of the Holy Dao World, he could leave the Holy Dao World and travel through the entire universe with his wife. With his cultivation, he believed there were no longer any opponents in the entire universe.

Just as Yè Mò was about to tear through the boundary of the Netherworld, a black hole suddenly appeared. Before Yè Mò could react, a faint voice sounded in his ear, "Since you've come, come in. Don't treat my Netherworld like a rag, to be torn at will. Take your World Mountain and leave. You won't be welcome here next time."

Hearing this voice, Yè Mò immediately understood that it was the voice of the Heavenly Dao he had sensed in the Netherworld before.

At this moment, Yè Mò was no longer the sharp and aggressive person he was when he first entered the Primordial Universe. He had a vague understanding that there were higher levels of cultivation beyond the Primordial Universe.

Yè Mò stepped into the Netherworld, stood in the air, and clasped his hands, saying, "I, Yè Mò, was rash and disrespectful, disturbing the Heavenly Dao of the Netherworld. I have come to apologize and ask for your forgiveness."

The faint voice became more solid and gentle, "If I hadn't known you had the potential to become one of us, I wouldn't have let you take the soul. This World Mountain was left here by a human friend before he left this void. I didn't expect it to be useful now. Take it and repair the Holy Dao World."

After hearing these words, Yè Mò was shocked, even forgetting about the World Mountain. He had always had a premonition that the Primordial Universe was not the ultimate and that this void was not the only one. Now, from the faint voice of the Netherworld, he was even more certain that his premonition was correct.

"May I ask, what do you mean by leaving this void?" Yè Mò immediately asked.

The faint voice sighed slightly, "You won't understand now. When your lifespan is about to end, you will comprehend the truth."

Lifespan nearing its end? Yè Mò was startled, and his tone became more agitated, "Senior, I have already reached the Primordial Universe. Don't I have the same lifespan as heaven and earth? Isn't the lifespan of a Primordial Holy Emperor infinite?"

"Infinite?" The faint voice laughed coldly, "The distance between a Primordial Holy Emperor and infinity is still very far. Unless one day you..."

The voice stopped abruptly.

Yè Mò calmed down this time, not pressing further, but bowed and asked, "Yè Mò humbly asks for the senior's name and seeks your guidance."

After a long pause, the faint voice sighed, "I have ruled the Netherworld for countless years and have even forgotten my own name. You can call me Yōu Tiān. As the master of the Chaotic World and the World Tree, you have the right to ask."

"Senior Yōu Tiān, please teach me," Yè Mò said respectfully, clasping his hands again.

The voice of Yōu Tiān knew what Yè Mò wanted to ask. After nearly an hour of silence, it slowly said, "The vast void, the boundless universe, no one knows where the end is, and no one can understand what this vast and magnificent universe contains. The void we are in is just one plane in the infinite universe. Beyond this plane, there are countless other void planes, which you are unaware of."

After confirming that his vague premonition was correct, Yè Mò became even calmer, "May I ask, Senior Yōu Tiān, if I want to leave this void plane and enter other void planes, what should I do?"

"You are not yet qualified," the voice of Yōu Tiān said.

Yè Mò remained silent, not thinking that Yōu Tiān was exaggerating. If Yōu Tiān said he was not qualified, then he truly was not. He could sense many planes and even tear through the boundaries of planes to cross from one to another, but he had never sensed the void plane Yōu Tiān mentioned. If he couldn't even sense a plane, let alone tear through it.

Seeing that Yè Mò did not continue to press, Yōu Tiān's voice remained faint, "When you sense a gate in your Great Dao and can push it open, you will be qualified to leave this void plane."

"Gate? Does reaching the ultimate of the Primordial Universe mean the gate will appear?" Yè Mò asked impulsively.

"No," Yōu Tiān said slowly, "Some people, no matter how high their cultivation or how far they advance in the Primordial Universe, will never sense the gate of the Great Dao, let alone push it open. With your opportunities and talents, you might sense it tomorrow, or it might take billions of years, and even when your lifespan is near its end, you might never sense it."

"The person who left here before must have sensed the gate of the Great Dao, so he could push it open and leave?" Yè Mò thought of the senior who left the World Mountain, clearly a supreme being.

Yōu Tiān sighed, "He sensed the gate of the Great Dao but did not open it."

Yè Mò asked in confusion, "If he couldn't open his gate of the Great Dao, how did he leave? Is there another way to leave this void?"

"Indeed, there is another way to leave," Yōu Tiān answered, "Every time a world is created, it is a process of the primordial chaos dividing. This is no exception for our world. Along with various treasures, there are nine innate creation talismans. These nine talismans are innate treasures. Anyone who obtains one can break through this void plane and leave. He used one of these talismans to leave."

"Why leave?"

"Only by leaving can one pursue the secrets of immortality and reach the pinnacle of the vast universe."

This time, Yè Mò did not continue to ask. After advancing to the Primordial Universe, he could no longer sense the end of his lifespan. Even though he felt the Primordial Universe was not the ultimate, he thought he had already achieved immortality. Today, he learned that he could not achieve immortality.

"Senior Yōu Tiān, may I ask you a few more questions?" After a long silence, Yè Mò asked again.

"Ask, perhaps one day I will need your help," Yōu Tiān's faint voice had a hint of emotion.

Yè Mò did not think too much about what he could do to help Yōu Tiān. He asked directly, "I have three questions. First, why is my thunder tribulation more fierce and deadly than others, almost killing me countless times? Second, how many people have used the innate creation talismans to leave this void universe and enter another plane? If one senses another plane and tries to enter it forcefully, what will happen? Third, when one senses and pushes open the gate of the Great Dao, does it mean they have reached the ultimate?"

Yōu Tiān answered immediately, "You have many questions, but I can answer them. Your thunder tribulation is controlled by the Heavenly Dao. I can control the thunder tribulation and the rules of the Netherworld. After merging with the Netherworld, I became the Heavenly Dao. I cannot appear, but I can act through the rules of the Heavenly Dao. As for whether the Heavenly Dao is harming you, I do not know. I have only merged with the Netherworld, and there are other Heavenly Emperors outside."

"Originally, I understood. When I comprehended the cycle of reincarnation, I should thank Senior Yōu Tiān for your help." Yè Mò suddenly understood. The reason he could comprehend the cycle of reincarnation so quickly was because of the help of the Heavenly Dao of the Netherworld.

Yōu Tiān answered, "Even if I didn't help, you would eventually cross the Bridge of Reincarnation and comprehend the cycle of reincarnation. As for trying to enter another plane without a creation talisman, it is impossible.

There was once a Primordial Holy Emperor named Duān Mù Jiù Hé. He wanted to establish a cycle of reincarnation between the Netherworld and the Holy Dao World, and because of his great virtue, he comprehended and sensed his gate of the Great Dao. When he found he could not push it open, he tried to break through with the Slaughter Dao Spear. In the end, he was exhausted and was killed by the backlash of the Slaughter Dao Spear in the void.

However, a few have used creation talismans to forcefully open a path to another plane. Besides the friend who left the World Mountain, there was a Dao Yuan woman named Líng Bō who came to the Netherworld with her disciple a few hundred years ago. She used a creation talisman to break through this plane and left the void universe."

Hearing this, Yè Mò finally understood. Duān Mù Jiù Hé had fallen because he tried to break through the gate of the Great Dao. As for the name Líng Bō, it just sounded familiar to Yè Mò.

"As for your third question, I can clearly tell you that there is another realm beyond the Primordial Universe. Pushing open the gate of the Great Dao only means you are qualified to compete for this realm, not that you have reached it. You can push open your gate of the Great Dao, but it doesn't mean you can seize and open the gate of creation."

"Creation?" Yè Mò even forgot to ask why the realm was described as something to compete for rather than to advance to.

"Yes, creation," Yōu Tiān's voice became faint again and then disappeared without a trace. (The Strongest Abandoned Son ends here!)

(Additional chapter for Great Bear Alliance Leader. At the same time, The Strongest Abandoned Son is now completely finished, and there will be no more separate chapters. I hope all readers will continue to follow our new book, The Gate of Creation. There is a more wonderful world there, and a name that will be equally powerful in the future—Níng Chéng!)
