"Eternal sleep." Boss Luo pondered briefly. "Is it a place where something sleeps?"

Young Pangu said, "Everything—or rather, nothing."

Boss Luo could not help frowning. At first glance, Young Pangu's answer had the style of the Principle of Non-Self. He was a legend who turned complexity into simplicity, discarding many things he considered unnecessary.

The purest... At least, he was the purest existence Boss Luo had ever seen, even slightly purer than that one he had met once in Heaven.

"You're confused?" Young Pangu asked casually.

Boss Luo shook his head. "I just... haven't understood it yet."

"The place of eternal sleep has nothing." Young Pangu smiled faintly. "That's merely my personal belief, but to many lifeforms capable of reaching that place, it may have another meaning."

"Such as?"

"The will of the void, the origin, or something more." Young Pangu thought for a moment. "There are three thousand heavenly worlds. Three thousand is not a number—it is infinity. Every world has its own Heavenly Dao. Above the three thousand heavens, there is an even greater Dao. I think of it as the general principle... Likewise, the void has its own will."

Boss Luo mused, "It is sleeping?"

Young Pangu suddenly looked toward the Origin Demon Tree that was nurturing the Void Asura. "Nature bestows life with blessings: light, wind, heat, and everything else. Nature's grace allows life to flourish. You said the Origin Demons in the void grow. What do they grow because of? Who granted them the ability to survive?"

Boss Luo seemed thoughtful. "The void and the three thousand heavens are nature... a greater nature."

"To quote someone I once met who liked taking naps." Young Pangu smiled faintly. "It is 'Dao follows nature.'"

"I do not cultivate the Dao." Boss Luo shook his head.
