"The mysterious Black Hole Devour absorbed an immense amount of energy from the Elemental Ocean, and it all condensed here."
In the boundless Paste Space, the mysterious Black Hole had just devoured so much elemental energy, yet in the end it occupied a territory only two or three meters across.
Luo Ya's consciousness continued to spread forward, entering this tiny "territory."
"An isolation?"
Luo Ya could clearly feel that the small territory occupied by the Black Hole's energy was separated from the endless Paste Space around it. Some kind of existence, much like a "rule," made it impossible for Luo Ya to enter the Paste Space from his own two- or three-meter territory.
With a thought,
Luo Ya's consciousness once again left the Black Hole and returned to the outside world.
Inside the cave dwelling on the island, Luo Ya opened his bright eyes, still yearning for more.
"That Paste Space must be the Hongmeng Space!" Luo Ya was so excited he could hardly contain himself. He hadn't expected to come into contact with the Hongmeng Space while still a Lowgod.
But a new problem immediately presented itself.
"Though I don't know what caused this mysterious Black Hole of mine to connect to the Hongmeng Space, what am I supposed to do next?"
Having encountered such a tremendous opportunity, he naturally wanted to transcend this world, just like Linley in the original story!
"My situation is somewhat similar to that of another being, but I'll still have to figure out the path ahead on my own..." Though an even greater ambition had taken root in his heart, Luo Ya wasn't in a hurry. After all, he was only a Lowgod.
As the saying went, a great tower rose from the ground. There was no need for him to rush; if he kept cultivating steadily, he would sooner or later find his own opportunity to transcend.
The energy absorbed by the mysterious Black Hole had all come from the Elemental Ocean Planes, and the eleven Elemental Ocean Planes lay at the very heart of the endless spaces of Heaven and Earth. So although a world-shaking phenomenon had occurred during that time, no matter how great the disturbance, it had been confined to the Elemental Ocean Planes.
But the instant the mysterious Black Hole inside Luo Ya connected to the Paste Space, the entire Coiling Dragon World—all the countless planes and spaces—underwent an astonishing transformation!
The countless Material Planes were affected the least.
By contrast, all the inhabitants of the Seven Divine Planes—such as the Radiant Divine Plane, Dark Divine Plane, Earth Divine Plane, and Wind Divine Plane—as well as the four Supreme Planes of the Celestial Realm, Hell, the Netherworld, and the Life Divine Plane, all felt a powerful tremor coming from the planes themselves. This was true of everyone, from the weakest members of the Saint Realm to the mighty Sovereigns!
Even the members of the Saint Realm and the Lowgods in the Divine Planes could feel this terrifying upheaval, let alone the experts among the Highgods.
Of course, the ones most shocked were the more than seventy Chief Sovereigns across the eleven planes.
As one of the "administrators" of this world, a Chief Sovereign possessed tremendous authority and power. They felt the astonishing upheaval in Heaven and Earth far more clearly than the gods and members of the Saint Realm. Yet even with their abilities, they couldn't determine what had caused it.
"Could the Overgods be making some new move?" That was all they could guess.
Of course, a few powerful beings had different thoughts.
The moment the planes began to change, every Chief Sovereign across the eleven planes was startled by the disturbance, no matter what they had been doing.
Hell.
Deep within the Starry Fog Sea, at the bottom of a nine-story tower, a blurred figure sat upon a throne, gazing at the sky in shock. "What on earth is going on?"
In the Zijing Mountain Range, a gigantic face appeared among the mountains. Feeling the violent tremor that had just shaken the planes, it was shaken to the core. "Is something major about to happen again?"
Deep in the Chaotic Sea, within a majestic underwater palace,
a figure shrouded in black light looked up in astonishment. "Could the Overgods be about to issue a new directive?"
Far away in the Netherworld, at that same moment, the red-clad girl seated atop Nether Mountain sprang to her feet. She flew out of the palace and extended her divine sense, trying to find the source of this upheaval in Heaven and Earth.
In the Celestial Realm, in the August Garden,
the kind-faced old man with white hair and white robes suddenly flew out of his palace and gazed up at the sky, his eyes blazing with light. "This definitely wasn't the Overgods. Could it be you, the being beyond Heaven and Earth?"
The Overgods did indeed possess such power, but they were merely manifestations of rules, without their own consciousness or emotions.
Without a self, and not even qualifying as living beings, how could they suddenly "go berserk"?
Fortunately, this truly earth-shattering upheaval lasted only a brief instant before subsiding on its own. The spaces of the eleven planes soon returned to normal as well.
Just as everything had settled down, and countless experts in the Divine Planes were wondering what had caused the "heavenly upheaval"—
suddenly—
"Boom!"
As if Heaven and Earth were collapsing, the planes trembled with that same astonishing force once more! At the same time, a laugh, vast and distant, seemingly coming from the highest heavens, rumbled throughout the world—
"Young friend, hurry up and cultivate. I'm waiting for you here. Hahaha..."
The clear laughter rang out across Heaven and Earth all at once. Somehow, the voice echoed through every inch of space in the eleven Divine Planes, the countless Material Planes, and even the vast region of Spatial Turbulence.
The laughter sounded in the ears of every living being. It rang in every mind and deep in every heart!
Whether they were infants, mortals, members of the Saint Realm, mighty experts in the Divine Planes, or even Chief Sovereigns,
none could stop the voice from ringing in their ears, minds, and hearts.
Everyone was stunned once more.
A moment later, the voice gradually faded away, and countless planes returned to their usual peace.
Heaven and Earth had grown peaceful once more. In the countless Material Planes and the eleven Divine Planes—the Supreme Planes—people had returned to their everyday lives. But everyone now knew one thing—
there was a mysterious "young friend" in this world. The "master" of that voice had told them so.
"A young friend?"
In the Celestial Realm's August Garden, the kind-faced old man in white robes and with white hair grew excited in an instant. An elated smile spread across his face!
"Hahaha! I knew it, I knew it! Beyond Heaven and Earth, there's an even greater world!" That mysterious "Voice from Beyond the Heavens" had confirmed that his guess was right!
"A young friend?" Hearing Hongmeng's voice, Luo Ya looked both astonished and excited. It seemed that he really did have a chance to transcend into the Hongmeng Space!
Could I, Luo Ya, really have what it takes to become a Controller of Hongmeng?
"Enough of that for now. I need to go to Wind Forbidden Island and see Milia." He had promised to go as soon as he became a god, but his sudden whim had delayed him for quite a while.
"Still, with Willpower in my possession, I'm definitely much faster than an ordinary Lowgod." Burying his grand ambition of "transcendence" deep in his heart, Luo Ya quickly flew out of the cave dwelling.
He soon realized just how astonishing his flying speed had become.
Back when he was in the Saint Realm, his normal flying speed was only a few thousand li an hour.
But now?
Without using Willpower, the increase wasn't too dramatic—only several times his previous speed.
But with Willpower, he could fly hundreds, even thousands of times faster than before!
"At my current speed, fighting an opponent of the same level would be completely unfair. As for traveling, getting from this Nameless Sea Island to Wind Forbidden Island should take no longer than a sip of wine." Luo Ya had only just made his estimate when he was already above Wind Forbidden Island, having flown there from the Nameless Sea Island.
