Chapter 4633 - Worldgazing!

Tianming instinctively tightened his grip on Zi Zhen's and Moran's hands. The next instant, all three of them were whisked away.

His speed seemed to increase by more than a hundred million times. It was only a sensation of course, as there were no landmarks around for him to judge his true speed.

Some time later, he emerged into another void.

This void was no longer empty. A colossal gray light source formed the silhouette of a person, one so immense it seemed to stretch across heaven and earth, even filling the entire universe.

Although the figure was immeasurably far away from Tianming, it dominated Tianming’s vision.

Gray met his eyes everywhere. The figure seemed to have stood there since time immemorial. Even motionless, it radiated an indescribable pressure.

This person couldn’t be an entire universe, right?

Tianming was stunned. He could not see the figure's head or feet. He identified it as humanoid only from the faint outline he could make out.

Its sheer scale and grandeur reminded him of the Primordial God-Emperor himself.

Tianming and the two women tensed, not knowing whether this being was friend or foe.

An aged yet gentle voice echoed from every direction. "Tianming. Your parents asked me to wait here for you."

Tianming’s body relaxed immediately.

Even so, he remained wary... But well, before such an existence, he doubted vigilance would make any difference if it truly wished him harm.

"Who are you?" he asked.

The old voice chuckled softly.

"I am the Gravekeeper."

Gravekeeper? Is that the guardian of the Primordial God-Emperor's tomb? That was Tianming's first thought.

He had never expected his parents to know such a terrifying existence. Have Father and Mother already reached this level?

He recalled that when they had appeared in the Realm of Chaos, they had been less than two meters tall. They must have worldgazing physiques.

He was only more confused. What exactly was the difference between a worldgazing physique and a cosmic-god physique?

So he asked directly.

The Gravekeeper smiled.

"You'll know soon enough. I am here to guide you out of the Primordial Mausoleum and grant you worldgazing physiques."

"I see." Tianming asked another question. "Where are my parents?"

"That cannot be revealed." The Gravekeeper's tone turned solemn. "My duty is only to guide your transformation. Nothing more."

Tianming nodded. "Very well. Thank you, Senior."

As he gazed at the boundless gray radiance that filled the entire void, anticipation welled within him.

What exactly was Worldgazing?

Huang Qi had once said there were two forms of worldgazing: one visible, one invisible.

Tianming had a feeling this transformation would completely overturn his understanding of reality. He had been waiting for this day for a very long time.

Zi Zhen, Moran, and even his lifebound beasts listened intently. Bai Feng, especially, had long yearned to uncover these truths.

The Gravekeeper spoke slowly.

"Before your transformation, you must first understand what Worldgazing is."

"Worldgazing is the origin of the world, the beginning of all things, and the embodiment of boundless compassion and wisdom. It observes the suffering of all beings with infinite compassion and perceives their true nature with perfect wisdom, guiding them beyond pain, confusion, and toward liberation."

"Remember only one sentence: All things are born from Worldgazing."

"Thus, Worldgazing is both the totality of the world and the self within every living being's perception. It exists everywhere. Hence the world is called the Realm of Worldgazing, and the body, the worldgazing physique."

"The journey from the Real World Dock into the Realm of Worldgazing is both liberation and a return to one's origin."

Tianming was left speechless.

What the fuck? He had expected enlightenment. Instead, he felt even dumber.

Everyone else was equally bewildered.

Still, one phrase caught his attention.

"You mentioned the Real World Dock. What is that?" He immediately thought of the Minor Chaos Dock.

Were the two connected?

The Gravekeeper replied,

"Everything you now see, including the endless expanse inside the Primordial God-Emperor's corpse, is the Real World Dock. The true Realm of Worldgazing exists on another layer entirely. Tianming, I shall now guide you into that layer."

"Is it difficult?" Tianming asked.

The Gravekeeper laughed softly. "Not at all. In fact, it is quite simple. So long as one has a guide, anyone may freely enter or leave the Realm of Worldgazing."

Tianming was surprised. "You can return whenever you wish?"

"Of course."

"When battles reach the point of life and death, many choose to return to the Real World Dock. The purpose of the Realm of Worldgazing is to resolve conflict, strengthen understanding, enrich the Real World Dock, and bring enlightenment to all living beings."

Those final words remained beyond Tianming's comprehension.

After all, he had yet to truly enter the Realm of Worldgazing.

Yet he already sensed one thing.

The Realm of Worldgazing... was nothing like he had imagined.

He still had countless questions.

Before he could ask another, however, the Gravekeeper smiled and made his move.

In Tianming's eyes, an enormous gray light that resembled the boundless giant extending a single finger toward him approached.

The scale was cosmic.

To the Gravekeeper, it may have been nothing more than the movement of a finger. But to Tianming, it was as though entire galaxies and nebulae were shifting across the universe.

A vast gray wall of light, that stretched endlessly in every direction, appeared in front of him.
