High-Level Martial Era - Chapter 1385 - 628: A Great Harvest
Chapter 1385: Chapter 628: A Great Harvest
Li Yuan silently reflected in his heart, though he had once visited the Spirit Tree Universe, his vision remained confined to his home Cosmic Realm; he had known the vastness of the cosmos before, but today was the first time he had a concrete understanding.
The Eighth Dark Domain alone contains over three hundred Cosmic Realms; how many Cosmic Realms are there in the entire cosmos?
And this is merely the known cosmic territory, not the limit of the cosmos.
It’s simply unimaginable.
“Today, I truly know the vastness of the cosmos,” Li Yuan thought to himself, and ambition and longing rose in his heart.
Though the heavens and earth are vast, the cosmos immense… in this lifetime, even if I do not achieve eternity, I should still, like Beihai Supreme, traverse the universe, see all its spectacles, so that I have no regrets.
“Li Yuan.”
“The time has come to make a decision.” The chubby little figure in the gray robe smiled at Li Yuan and said, “If you are willing to become my life-and-death partner, then I will strive to help you, assist you in achieving Supreme, standing at the cosmos’s peak… but of course, you’ll need to help me seek the truth, and this will bring many dangers, Brother Beihe has faced life-threatening perils multiple times.”
“If you’re unwilling, then I’ll send away this avatar of yours; you’ve already sworn the Eternal Oath and won’t reveal the secrets here… and I’ll wait for the next person instead.”
“Choose,” Little Tomb said calmly.
Li Yuan’s mind flashed through many thoughts; choose? The path to eternity is extremely difficult, and the vast universe has yet to hear of a living eternity.
Even achieving Supreme is extremely hard.
Having already become a ’Cosmic Divine Body’, each subsequent step in cultivation will likely be unfamiliar to the three Divine Emperors of the Chaos Divine Court; they might not be able to guide me well… but Little Tomb has followed a Supreme, he himself is even more mysterious.
With his help, my path will be much smoother.
Even so.
Do I really have another choice? Little Tomb said he would send me away, but previously, he deceived me, who’s to say he won’t this time?
Some of Little Tomb’s methods, like Inquiry, seem insufficiently strong! But just the display of the Bronze Coffin alone is enough to cause Li Yuan significant trouble.
You must know, it’s easy to expel Divine Body pollution, at worst, one gives up the Origin Body.
But no soul consciousness pollution is easy to dispel.
“I am willing,” Li Yuan said directly.
“Hmm, actually, I don’t know if making you my life-and-death partner is right or wrong for you,” Little Tomb’s smile diminished, “but I promise, I will certainly do my utmost to help you.”
Li Yuan listened, and indeed Little Tomb’s words seemed much more sincere.
Li Yuan also understood the risks he mentioned… even Beihai Supreme nearly perished in the quest for truth, let alone himself?
My current strength is comparable to that of the Space God King, a super being within the Heart Dream Universe, but looking at the vast cosmos, it’s likely insignificant.
“Do we need to sign any contract?” Li Yuan asked.
“No need,” Little Tomb shook his head, “I am neither life nor any kind of spirit… don’t think of making me your master.”
“In this cosmos, nothing can bind me, and nothing can harm me,” Little Tomb paused, “even a Supreme can only seal me, not obliterate my consciousness.”
Li Yuan was shocked, is he that strong?
Soon, Li Yuan realized… indeed, that mysterious Bronze Coffin, having such might is only natural.
“So, we don’t need to sign any contract; mutual trust will suffice,” Little Tomb said solemnly, “also, don’t expect me to directly help you fight some powerful enemies… what I have is self-preservation power; what I am best at is guiding you through my perspective.”
“Firstly, what remains in my fragmented memory, much concerning the Eternal Relics…”
“Secondly, I once roamed across the cosmos with Brother Beihe,” Little Tomb said.
“Hmm, understood,” Li Yuan nodded, in the vast cosmos, compared to strength, perspective and insight are sometimes even more important!
With Little Tomb present, it’s as though I have a Supreme advising me by my side, which cannot be understated.
“Let me introduce to you the things you are about to receive,” Little Tomb pointed to the little chubby green dog nearby, “First, is it, it will follow you and heed your commands.”
“Second Master,” the little dog’s form, Wu Liang, saluted respectfully.
Second Master? Li Yuan felt it sounded odd.
“Little Tomb, as I understand it, once a Divine Emperor creates a Life Puppet, if the Divine Emperor perishes, the Life Puppet should also be destroyed, correct?” Li Yuan couldn’t help asking.
“You’re right.”
“What’s called a Life Puppet actually originates from the Divine Emperor’s ’Inner Universe Origin’; it’s refined using Origin Power, similar to a ’Cosmic Holy Spirit’,” Little Tomb explained, “once the Divine Emperor passes away, the Inner Universe collapses, and these life puppets naturally crumble and perish.”
“In the future, when your Inner Universe further evolves, it can also birth Cosmic Realm Creatures; if they wish to venture outside, they can possess formidable strength… even if they were to die outside, they could be resurrected within the Cosmic Origin.”
“This is the secret of the Life Puppet.”
“The only flaw is that a Life Puppet’s strength cannot progress,” Little Tomb noted.
Li Yuan listened, so this is how it is.
This was the first time he understood the secret of the ’Life Puppet’.
“Additionally, I notice that your cultivation years are short; perhaps you still have some close relatives and friends living?” Little Tomb smiled.
“Hmm.” Li Yuan nodded.
Like his uncle and aunt who became Pseudo-Gods, they have a five-thousand-year lifespan, and now they’re still far from their life’s end.
“In time, if you can evolve your Inner Universe to a very high level before your friends and relatives run out of lifespan, then you can indeed bring their ’True Spirit’ into the Cosmic Origin,” Little Tomb said, “thus, they can completely become ’Life Puppets’ and live eternally in your cosmic realm.”
“What?” A glint flashed in Li Yuan’s eyes, his heart overwhelmingly thrilled.
