âYour Origin Source⌠itâs leaking!â Gagarin exclaimed in shock. âYour Origin Source must have gone astray. If it continues to leak like this, youâll eventually become an empty shell!â
Jian Wushuang furrowed his brows and said in surprise, âWhy didnât I notice my Origin Source was leaking?â
He hurriedly focused his senses inward to examine his Origin Source.
It was a space.
Gray and obscure, impossible to see clearly.
Yet, the power of his Origin Source was immensely strong.
At present, he possessed the Origin Source of Chaos, with his realm reaching the limit of a Dao Lord.
However, he was still far from achieving the perfection he sought.
In terms of divine body, he had a tenfold increase in power.
It wasnât particularly outstanding.
The key was the Origin Source of Chaos, which allowed him to transform and manipulate various forms of power.
The current strength of his Origin Source was enough to unleash the Ancient Shift Technique, and with tenfold divine power, he could erupt with a power equivalent to twentyfold.
It was possible to challenge a Universe Master with the strength of a Dao Lord.
And this was just his raw power, without utilizing any external items.
With such immense strength, it was surprising that Gagarin claimed it was leaking away.
Yet Jian Wushuang hadnât sensed it at all.
âJian Wushuang, although I donât know why youâve become like this, you and I are both from the Origin of Chaos, so I know very well that your Origin is now in a state of decay!â
âWe, the Beasts of the Realm, are an innate race, a great civilization born from chaos!â
âOur Origin is also eternal and infinite!â
âBut this eternity can be broken. Do you know why so many Beasts of the Realm willingly created the Starry Sky back then?â
âIt was because eternity had been broken. They were infected by a strange substance, and eternity began to fade!â
âThey hoped to use the creation of the Starry Sky as a way to live inside a shell!â
âAs a result, they were betrayed by the God King. In the end, only twelve Star Spirits and some worthless things like the High Priest were condensed. Those Beasts of the Realm that lost eternity were doomed!â
Jian Wushuang had heard some of this before.
It was Jormungandr who had mentioned it.
However, at the time, he hadnât paid much attention to it.
He hadnât expected eternity to be broken.
Was it due to some kind of substance?
He quickly took out the metal plate.
âCould it be that the substance is on here?â
Jian Wushuangâs mind was filled with countless thoughts, but he didnât fully trust Gagarin.
However, hearing that he might face doom made him cautious.
âIt doesnât matter. My current power will inevitably extinguish sooner or later!â He pretended to remain calm and then asked, âYou mentioned this state of decay. I havenât felt it. This cycle should be quite long, right?â
Gagarin shook his head and replied, âIâm not sure, but one thing I do know is that if you donât act, it might be fine. But once you start, the decay will accelerate!â
âIf, as you say, this will eventually extinguish my Origin and allow me to ascend to a higher level, then let me ascend quickly. Thereâs no way to resolve this state of decay. Once itâs all gone, your path of cultivation will end!â
Jian Wushuang took a deep breath and stored the metal plate, asking no further questions.
Though he was anxious, he dared not show it.
What if the other party was trying to trick him?
âIâll keep that in mind!â Jian Wushuang maintained his composure and said, âGo and bring everyone to the fifth layer to cultivate. Iâll head to the sixth layer!â
âTell them weâll be leaving soon. Be prepared!â
With that, his figure flickered and disappeared from the fifth layer.
Upon entering the fifth and sixth layers, he immediately activated the Eternal Transformation technique.
His power surged.
There was no sign of weakening.
But as he swung his sword, the power leaked, unable to be replenished.
A sense of loss surged into his heart, making his eyes widen.
âItâs true!â
At that moment, panic took hold of him.
If his Origin were extinguished, his comprehension would slow down even more.
He was already stuck at the fifth layer.
If his Origin was extinguished and what he cultivated afterward continued to decay, what would he do?
âUgh!â
âIâll go to the sixth layer and talk to Cao Wusheng!â
As for how to fix this, he would think about it after getting the metal plate from the sixth layer!
In the sixth layerâs space.
Starlight flickered!
Gazing at the countless stars, Jian Wushuang was stunned.
It really was the Starry Sky.
Although it seemed to be full of twinkling stars, in truth, each flickering light was a grand universe.
The stars connected by lines formed a river of time and space.
Incredible!
He wasnât the only one shocked.
Cao Wusheng, who had just entered, felt the same.
He thought he had returned to the Starry Sky.
Excited, he searched everywhere for cultivators.
But after entering the universes of those starry skies, he found no life.
Only the energy unique to the Starry Sky was floating around.
He had wandered here for tens of thousands of years, not seeing a single soul.
At first, he wasnât anxious, but as time passed, he began to grow restless.
Someone of his strength originally had little concern for time.
But it was different here.
Here, it felt like home.
Yet he couldnât find anyone.
That sense of loneliness reminded him of the years atop the Eighth Mountain.
Swish!
The sudden appearance of a figure was like a lifeline to him. His silhouette rushed over in an instant.
âHmm?â
Jian Wushuang hadnât expected the other party to be so emotional, so he used his thought power to instantly suppress Cao Wusheng.
Then, right in front of him, Jian Wushuang took out the metal plate from the sixth layer.
Ignoring Cao Wusheng, he blatantly began examining the sixth metal plate.
There was also a letter attached to the metal plate!
As expected!
He had guessed it. The sixth layer was a watershed, and his senior brother had certainly left some clues.
Opening the letter, it read:
âJunior Brother, by now, Iâm sure your strength has returned to its peak. Your power brings me great joy!â
