Chapter 3216: Breakthrough With Dust World

"Yellowy, it's not that I don't want to bring you along. Rather, given your strength, you should have already become a Progenitor and been responsible for a territory for a long time now."

Roar!

"Just think about it. One day, astral beasts will also develop a civilization similar to humanity, and they will have their own history, culture, and pride. You will be their pride."

Roar!

"Don't glare at me! I hope that you can enlighten the astral beasts. One day, they will be able to live peacefully with humanity, and at that time, our Origin Universe will be beautiful."

Roar!

"You aren't cursing me, are you? I'm sure that you can protect them. As time goes on, there will be more and more humans, and some of them won't be able to control their greed. There might even be outsiders who resent our Origin Universe, and the grudges between humans and astral beasts is a perfect point to instigate a war, so you have to keep an eye on things."

Roar!

"You’re mistaken."

...

The three specks of Primaldust entered Lu Yin's brow, which caused him to hear many conversations and see numerous scenes. Everything was from the Second, Third, and Fourth Mainlands. They were memories of the Primaldust.

In front of him, the big tree slipped away, and Bai Xian'er immediately attacked Lu Yin. "Give me the Primaldust!"

Lu Yin dodged while trying to initiate a breakthrough.

For him to breakthrough to the Progenitor realm with Dust World, a strong foundation was not nearly enough. Though, these three pieces of Primaldust were a rare opportunity.

Dust World did not merely transform thought into reality. Far more importantly, it embodied the desires of all creatures.

Without embodying the desires of all creatures, how could a landma.s.s take form? The Origin Progenitor's heart had been able to encompa.s.s an entire universe, which was why he had created five Mainlands, using his own Primaldust as the core for each one. If Lu Yin wanted to transform his Dust World, then what he needed was not more power, but rather for Dust World to have the ability to contain and hear the desires of all creatures.

The Wordless Heavenly Book had once allowed Lu Yin to hear countless voices, and with that, he had taken a step forward with Dust World. The appearance of Primaldust here was a shortcut that greatly reduced the work Lu Yin had to do.

Lu Yin continued to listen to the voices from the three Mainlands. These voices came from the ancient era, but they still held the desires of various creatures.

He heard the Mavis family being praised by the Second Mainland, the astonishment of countless beings on the Third Mainland when the colossal giants were created, and the roars of the Fourth Mainland’s astral beasts. As time pa.s.sed, Lu Yin heard more and more voices.

Even so, this was not enough. It was still lacking.

All the voices he was hearing were insufficient.

Lu Yin took out his Wordless Heavenly Book, which radiated a golden light that shot up through the cracks in the ground and reached out towards the Second Scourge’s sky. They looked like golden swords, and the light pierced countless eyes.

He heard voices from both the Origin Universe and the many parallel universes connected to the Origin Universe.

Dust World grew heavier and heavier. It had long since merged with the landma.s.s in Lu Yin’s inner universe. It yearned to transform and move closer to the four grains of Primaldust in his brow.

But all this still was not enough. He needed to hear more voices and hear more prayers from all creatures, no matter if they were from the past, the present, or the future. It did not matter where the creatures were, or even if they still existed.

In the Perennial World, the Python Ancestor’s eyes abruptly snapped open, and its ma.s.sive body shot into the ground beneath the Lower Realm.

Atop the Mother Tree’s crown, the Divine Eagle spread its wings and tore through the void, making its way to the Sixth Mainland.

Their memories had been triggered, and they felt as though they had returned to the past and the times when they had followed the Origin Progenitor around. At that time, the Divine Eagle had perched on the man’s shoulder, and the Python Ancestor had coiled around his waist. They both felt the Origin’s Progenitor's desperate need for his weapons. They could hear him begging for their help.

The Python Ancestor moved through the Lower Realm’s underground tunnels, searching for the Primaldust that served as the core of the Fifth Mainland that lay beneath the Perennial World. The snake bit down on the Primaldust, shot back into the sky, and tore through the void. It could sense the locations of the other pieces of Primaldust.

In the Sixth Mainland, the Divine Eagle tore the ground open and seized the Primaldust core of the Sixth Mainland. It then also ripped through the void as it let out a cry that echoed throughout the entire Origin Universe as it flew to the Second Scourge.

Lu Yin was still dodging Bai Xian'er's attacks, but her sequence particles were putting too much pressure on him, and his injuries multiplied. He never stopped bleeding.

He needed to hear more voices. Four pieces of Primaldust were not enough; he needed all six of them.

As he was considering this, the Python Ancestor and the Divine Eagle both appeared in the sky of the Second Scourge. They stared down at the ground before cras.h.i.+ng into it.

Atop the black Mother Tree, True G.o.d’s eyes suddenly flared in alarm. "Stop them!"

However, there was no one on the entire battlefield who could spare any effort to block either the Divine Eagle or the Python Ancestor. Even the Three Pillars and Six Skies would struggle to stop the two beasts.

The Divine Eagle and Python Ancestor shattered the ground of the Second Scourge as they continued their downward charge.

Lu Yin and Bai Xian'er looked up and saw the ground above them break apart.

Lu Yin's forehead was getting hotter and hotter, which surprised him. Were there more pieces of Primaldust close by? Could it be...?

There was a cry as the Divine Eagle flapped its wings and shot towards Bai Xian'er, startling her. "Divine Eagle?"

She pulled back, as she knew that the Divine Eagle was far from weak; it was even comparable to the Three Pillars and Six Skies.

Next came the Python Ancestor, and its eyes locked onto Lu Yin. However, the snake did not see Lu Yin, but the Origin Progenitor. That mythical figure was the Python Ancestor’s master, and he needed his weapons. He needed his Primaldust.

Master, we’ve come!

Two pieces of Primaldust flew out from the mouths of the Divine Eagle and Python Ancestor and shot towards Lu Yin.

Bai Xian'er went bug-eyed in alarm. She wanted to stop the Primaldusts from reaching Lu Yin, but both the Divine Eagle and Python Ancestor charged at her at that moment. It was difficult for anyone who had not yet become an Ortuser to deal with the two beasts, as they had fought alongside the Origin Progenitor himself.

With them s.h.i.+elding him, Lu Yin managed to safely receive the two pieces of Primaldust. He had no time to consider why the Divine Eagle and Python Ancestor would deliver these to him. All that he knew was that there were finally enough voices.

Primaldust was the Origin Progenitor's weapon, and they embodied the desires of all creatures while also forming the core of the six Mainlands. This was the Origin Progenitor’s path.

Lu Yin's Dust World was following the Origin Progenitor’s path.

Once he heard enough voices and could feel the determination of all creatures’ desires, it was possible to start transforming his Dust World.

Boom!

Thunder rumbled across the sky as the universe shook even more violently than when the Ancient Lightning Locust and the Lord of Lightning had fought.

The battles stopped in the Second Scourge as people turned to look up at the sky.

The thunderclap allowed everyone to realize something.

Right after the deafening thunder, black cracks appeared from nowhere, and they tore through both the Scourge and the void, as though someone was attacking indiscriminately.

In the Second Scourge, and even in the five other Scourges, all creatures felt terrified. They all moved to avoid the black cracks that had suddenly appeared.

The sky above was shaking, and so too was the land below.

"What’s happening?"

"Who’s causing such a commotion?"

"It feels like someone’s triggered a breakthrough, but not even a Progenitor’s breakthrough should affect the universe like this."

"Could someone be trying to break into the Origin realm?"

When Ancient G.o.d and Lu Yuan had broken into the Origin realm, their breakthroughs had been a huge commotion, and the resulting chaotic sequence particles had forced all the fighting to pause for a time.

This was a similar situation, though there was an important difference in that there were no chaotic sequence particles. Instead, it seemed as though the entire universe itself had been thrown into chaos.

The sky above, the land below, and even far beyond, everything was affected. The impact even stretched into the Endless Frontier.

One after another, cosmic doors fell from the sky. Everyone could sense that something was off with the universe itself, though they could not identify what exactly.

Only Lu Yuan, Ancient G.o.d, and a few others looked down below the Second Scourge. They were able to sense that these sudden changes originated from down below.

Lu Yuan’s eyes blazed intensely. Could this be?

For a moment, the battlefield fell silent.

Di Qiong panted. He stared down at the ground with a growing sense of unease.

Progenitor Xi frowned. Could it be? Could he be breaking through to become a Progenitor right now? This isn’t the Origin Universe, which means that the boy must want to forge his own path.

For many, forging their own path was essential if they wanted to become an exceptional powerhouse. Since Lu Yin was the strongest in his realm, it was only expected for him to do the same.

However, the moment he started to truly begin walking his path, he did not produce a small amount of shock. While this was to be expected, its impact was not reduced in the slightest.

Deep underground, Lu Yin looked up. Breaking through to the Progenitor realm was similar to breaking through to the Semi-Progenitor realm, as his own power was the catalyst.

During his Semi-Progenitor breakthrough, he had developed all four inner worlds at the same time, and that had inadvertently led him to believe that his Progenitor breakthrough needed to be the same.

The truth was, separately breaking through with each inner world would work just as well.

For the time being, Lu Yin intended to first break through to the Progenitor realm with his Dust World.

Bai Xian'er did not attack again. During a Progenitor breakthrough, any outsiders who got involved would be asking to die, especially if the person challenging the breakthrough was forging their own path. While stellular tribulations were specific to the Origin Universe, this phenomena was true for Progenitor breakthroughs throughout the entire megaverse.

In the Sixverse a.s.sociation, some people could become peak powerhouses without facing any sort of tribulation, but such incidences were all too rare.

Mu Shen, Lord Xu, and all the others who had forged their own paths had had to face their own tribulations. Not everyone’s first tribulation would be when trying to enter the Origin realm.

Becoming a peak powerhouse meant reaching a fundamentally different level and creating a new path. Creatures capable of doing this disrupted the megaverse itself, and the universe would not allow such a thing to happen.

There was no Heaven's Suppression, as Lu Yin’s breakthrough did not involve any stellular energy.

Instead, something even more terrifying than Heaven's Suppression appeared, which startled everyone present.

The sky above the Second Scourge twisted, and scenes flickered in and out like mirages. However, these scenes were actually all parallel universes.

Each parallel universe connected to the Second Scourge, and they twisted together to surge towards Lu Yin like a tidal wave.

Entering a parallel universe was completely different from seeing them overlap with each other; Lu Yin was like an ordinary human up against the vast, surging ocean.

The sight startled everyone.

True G.o.d glanced around. This child was attempting to walk down a path that was so extreme that not even parallel universes could bear it. Thus, the megaverse sought to destroy Lu Yin.

Could it be that the boy truly wanted to create a parallel universe?

Each Progenitor’s world was essentially a universe, but none could compare to the megaverse’s true parallel universes. The two were on entirely different levels.

If a person could truly create their own parallel universe, then it meant that they could create an entirely separate and distinct universe from whatever universe they were in. However, this would compress the other parallel s.p.a.ces in the megaverse. The consequences of such a thing would be beyond terrifying.

Even when Lu Yin unleashed his inner universe, it had been rejected by whatever universe he was in, creating a sh.e.l.l of the Hollow around him. However, his inner universe could not compare to a true universe.

Lu Yin rose up from the depths of the Scourge and stepped onto the surface. He could see the entire battlefield, all the partic.i.p.ating powerhouses, and even the various corpses. He then looked up to see the rapidly flickering scenes of various parallel universes.

The scene created by Dust World’s breakthrough to the Progenitor level seemed to be even more exaggerated than what Lu Yin had antic.i.p.ated.

He had a.s.sumed that he would face something similar to his Semi-Progenitor breakthrough, like a summoned peak powerhouse or some sort of astral phenomenon. Instead, he was not facing something nearly that simple. Instead, it seemed that the megaverse itself was rejecting him. It was as though reality sought to erase Lu Yin.

Does the universe really hate me this much?
