But it was absolutely not the "primordial chaos" commonly found throughout the All Heavens and Myriad Worlds—a chaos that nurtured Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind and might give birth to worlds.
Rather, it was a chaos that was even more ancient, more primordial, and more... deathly silent!
There was no light.
Or rather, light had lost all meaning here.
There was only boundless, seemingly eternal... gloom.
This gloom was neither black nor gray. It was an indescribable... color of nothingness, as though it could absorb every color and ray of light.
There was no sound.
Absolute silence.
Even the sound of his own heartbeat and breathing seemed to have been swallowed by this space.
There was no concept of direction—no up, down, left, or right.
Lu Chen tried to stand, only to discover that he could not distinguish up from down at all.
It was as though he were floating in the void, yet also as though he had been nailed to some plane.
There was no flow of time from past to future.
Here, time seemed frozen, yet also seemed not to exist at all.
Everything was still, deathly silent.
What made Lu Chen's heart tremble most was—
He tried to rouse his divine sense and investigate his surroundings.
Yet his divine sense traveled no more than a few dozen yards from his body before vanishing into the sea, utterly swallowed and dissolved by the boundless gloom and silence, returning not the slightest bit of information!
He tried to sense the laws of Heaven and Earth, hoping to cast a divine ability and find a way out.
But he discovered that he could not sense the existence of any laws at all!
Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth? They did not exist.
Time and space? They did not exist.
