"However, the most numerous things in the endless expanse were ordinary celestial bodies, and they were hidden within all sorts of spacetime dimensions. More importantly, those endless spacetime dimensions changed irregularly at every moment. It was simply impossible to draw any sort of map." Zhou Tong shook his head.
"Reverse time!"
With a thought from Zhou Tong, time before his eyes began to flow backward, and scenes from the past reappeared.
Very soon, scene after scene from the past unfolded before Zhou Tong's eyes, including the origin of the Chaos Universe.
In the unimaginably distant past, this place had originally been a vast, boundless continent—the Origin Continent. The Origin Continent gave birth to a consciousness, which transformed into a Black Robe Emperor who ruled the entire world and enslaved all cultivators.
Yet he was ultimately a lifeform condensed from the Origin Continent's consciousness, not a cultivator. Thus, he understood at most the Eternal Ultimate Dao, but not the Supreme Ultimate Dao.
Therefore, with the birth of the Ultimate Supreme Beings, his rule became increasingly precarious.

After roughly looking through it all, Zhou Tong quickly learned the language and writing of the previous epoch. Then he reversed time once more, mainly wanting to observe the three Ultimate Supreme Beings
