After his trip to Cloud Mist Mountain, Meng Chuan stayed in the Battle Through the Heavens World for a while longer. The pressure the entire Great Thousand World exerted on him instead became a source of strength.
The world's pressure was, in essence, the pressure of the Great Dao Laws.
During that time, the heavens within Meng Chuan gradually absorbed the Great Dao Laws of the entire Great Thousand World, filling his own body with them.
Meng Chuan benefited immensely. Some of his Other Selves also took shape.
Time flowed at different rates in some worlds. With Meng Chuan actively distorting time on top of that, the differences grew even greater.
In Lifetime, a Legend residing in the Real World could manipulate its laws, influence countless universes, remake heaven and earth, and do anything they wished.
Meng Chuan could now do the same in the Great Thousand World.
Along the way, he taught Yao Chen some knowledge of alchemy. Master one art, and ten thousand arts opened up to you—not to mention that Meng Chuan had deliberately studied alchemy before.
Eventually, Meng Chuan left the Battle Through the Heavens World. He had come to understand it almost completely.
Of course, some strands of Divine Sense remained there to continue their work. Under Meng Chuan's watchful eye, they bore every burden without complaint, worked diligently, and never uttered a grievance.
As for what happened after Meng Chuan left and stopped watching them...
Who knew?
Shrouding the Heavens.
Eight thousand five hundred years had passed since Meng Chuan left.
Even after returning, Meng Chuan could not help marveling at how easily time slipped away.
As his cultivation climbed higher and higher, perhaps one day he would close his eyes, open them again, and find that an entire epoch had passed.
