You carefully swept through the starry expanse spanning countless billions of light-years, spreading out your spiritual power and digging inch by inch. You made several rounds through secret realms rumored to hold Old Days legends of time, as well as all manner of dangerous cosmic regions.
The result was that all your efforts had been in vain.
Not only did you fail to find a ready-made Old Days system, you could not even see any Old Days Dao Principles. You could not even manually forge a system by using those Dao Principles as a reference!
Since nothing could be found in the outer starry sky, you had no choice but to enter the inner layer.
But you did not enter the continents of the inner layer directly. With the size of your human body, if you did not descend, you would need at least one ten-thousandth of a unit of Dao power just to survive within the inner layer.
Yet after entering this universe, the Dao seals of all those systems with differing parameters had been stripped from your body. Right now, you were completely an ordinary mortal.
