Chapter 2383: Chapter 2351: Innate Chaotic Body

"Innate Chaotic Body?"

Li Chen asked with some confusion, "Is this so-called Innate Chaotic Body related to the Innate Gods and Demons?"

The Seven Realms Tome pondered for a moment and said in a rather strange tone, "One could say they are related, but also unrelated. Yet to say they are completely unrelated is also not accurate."

"I suggest you stop using this kind of double negative speech when communicating with me," Li Chen said, his face darkened.

"Ahem!"

The Seven Realms Tome emitted a dry cough before slowly beginning to explain.

"You know the first batch of beings born in the universe are generally called Innate Gods and Demons, but do you know how they were conceived?" the Seven Realms Tome asked indifferently.

"How were they born?" Li Chen scratched his head. "Weren’t they just innately conceived by the universe? Is there another reason?"

"Indeed, there is." The Seven Realms Tome said, "No matter how magnificent a universe is, it cannot independently conceive beings. Just like your universe, although life has started to appear, if it weren’t for the power you absorbed from the outside, do you think you could conceive these small beings on your own?"

"This... indeed."

Li Chen nodded. While his True Universe had been continuously evolving on its own, he undeniably needed to absorb external power to supplement the universe to fully complete this process of conception.

Moreover, many of the beings in Li Chen’s universe were actually small animals he randomly captured and threw in when he had nothing better to do.

The reason for capturing these small animals was that Li Chen wanted to study a universe’s deeper existential significance.

Speaking of which, eighty million years had passed, and Li Chen still couldn’t open his universe, nor did he know what had become of the small beings inside.

Perhaps they had already evolved into a "civilization"?

All these remain unknown.

"So, to conceive life is not that easy," the Seven Realms Tome explained. "Even if it’s a universe that is conceiving beings, the universe still needs to absorb power. So, where does the universe absorb power from?"

Li Chen furrowed his brow.

What could exist outside the universe?

Only the Vast Nihility, nothing else.

"Do you mean..."

"Precisely." The Seven Realms Tome said calmly, "To conceive Innate Gods and Demons, one must first absorb the Power of Nihility Chaos from the Vast Nihility."

"Theoretically speaking, the Vast Nihility is absolute ’nothingness,’ a ’non-existence,’ also absolute negation. Beyond the universe, no energy form can exist in such a place. But in reality, based on my research, power does exist in the Vast Nihility, which I call the ’Chaotic Power.’"

"This Chaotic Power is different from the chaos at the universe’s inception; it is the purest and most difficult form of energy to absorb. Apart from the Great Universe in the truest sense, no one or anything can absorb this Chaotic Power," the Seven Realms Tome said solemnly. "Not even the Founding Realm powerhouses or their Minor Universes can do it."

For a Great Universe to conceive life, or even sustain the operation of a universe over countless long years, it requires this Chaotic Power supplied by the Vast Nihility.

"But this sounds paradoxical. Isn’t the universe a ’being’ opposite to the Vast Nihility? How can two entirely different stances produce such a similar dependency?" Li Chen pondered.

"Are you trying to understand your bodily condition, or do you want to argue with me over academic issues that even countless Era powerhouses haven’t resolved?" The Seven Realms Tome glanced at Li Chen.

Li Chen closed his mouth awkwardly, silently cursing in his heart, wasn’t it you who brought up the topic?

"The Innate Chaotic Body, even I have never seen it. It was only when the Era was born, and I emerged, that I received the information conveyed by the universe’s intention," the Seven Realms Tome said. "If there’s a single term to describe this physique, it would be... the strongest."

"Unparalleled," the Seven Realms Tome marveled.

"The strongest?" Li Chen blinked. Waking up to have the strongest physique? How come it sounds like some plug-in forcibly renewed?

"Perhaps others can catch up in terms of power or speed through cultivation. But your physique has a terrifying ability that no one can simply envy," the Seven Realms Tome said.

"The Innate Chaotic Body... can operate within the Vast Nihility without the universe’s protection!"

"Because the chaos power of the Innate Chaotic Body originated from the Vast Nihility, meaning the Vast Nihility won’t regard the Innate Chaotic Body as an ’existent’ being. Rather, it considers it equally ’non-existent.’ In this way, even without the universe’s protection, the Vast Nihility won’t ’negate’ your existence."

"So that’s how it is." Li Chen realized. "I thought it was the Black Qi that made me immune to the powers of the Vast Nihility, preventing me from being erased."

"Indeed, it’s the power of the Black Qi," the Seven Realms Tome unreservedly splashed cold water on Li Chen.

"Do you think without the Black Qi, you could really survive in the Vast Nihility without the universe’s protection?" the Seven Realms Tome asked. "This is also the part that confuses me the most. What exactly is the Black Qi, which contains chaotic power and even allowed your body to assimilate with that chaos, transforming into a true Innate Chaotic Body?"

"Even the Innate Gods and Demons at the universe’s inception had some chaotic power, but this insignificant chaotic power would lead to their near-certain death if they dared to step out of their own universe without its protection!"

"You mean, with my current physique, even without a universe, I could enter the Vast Nihility without being erased?" Li Chen said excitedly.

"Yes," the Seven Realms Tome said. "But you would still die."

Li Chen: ???

Weren’t you the one who said the Innate Chaotic Body isn’t afraid of being erased? Why deny it now?

While Li Chen was puzzled, he heard the Seven Realms Tome saying disdainfully, "Given your pathetic cultivation, stepping outside the universe, you’d be swept away by the various dangers of the Vast Nihility in less than a day."

Li Chen opened his mouth but realized that, on this point, he indeed had nothing to say.

"Forget it, let’s not think about it. The path must be walked step by step." Li Chen shook his head, took out the Imperial Soul, lit it gently, and sat cross-legged in the cave.

"Since my cultivation is lacking, I’ll just recover to the Palm Realm in the shortest time possible!"
