The Chaos Void had neither sky nor earth, nor any sense of direction.
Occasionally, a spacetime storm that shredded everything came into view, or rocks, dried corpses, and assorted debris floating through the void. Beyond those lay only eternal darkness, desolation, and deathly silence.
Tens of thousands of light pillars pierced the Chaos Void, like countless passages cutting through the barriers between worlds.
Moments later, countless streaks swept past like a meteor shower, following those light pillars into distant, unknown worlds. Occasionally, someone strayed from a pillar, either becoming debris in the void or being ground to dust, their soul utterly scattered.
So the sacrifice of the Heaven-Piercing Divine Guards also served to clear the way and guide us? Otherwise, those who ascended blindly could only become lost or dissolve in the eternal void...
Not one in ten thousand succeeds in breaking through space and ascending. How could it possibly be easy?
Breaking through the barrier of a world is one enormous obstacle, finding the right direction is another, and crossing the Chaos Void is yet another! Crossing the Chaos Void alone is a road of no return where nine out of ten perish...
After leaving the Pangu World, Xiao Ying had no control over himself as the Heaven-Piercing Light Pillar drew him toward the unknown Upper Realm.
Perhaps it was the protection of the Heaven-Earth Bell and heaven-opening merit, or perhaps the danger that could descend at any moment. Compared to the other ascenders, Xiao Ying remained far more lucid and gained a deeper understanding of the ascension path!
In that light, the so-called Immortal Gate Guidance, divine summons, and the like were indeed not entirely without merit. With someone receiving them, their chances of survival were countless times greater than if they blindly broke through space and ascended.
