Originally, the purpose of fusing soul memories was simply to find the obsession of the owner of the broken will, but unexpectedly, it allowed Zhang Junbao to see a piece of history that had been sealed away.
The Zerg, in alliance with the Demon Race, set a trap in the Zerg Secret Region, spreading the message that Advanced Heavy Treasure had appeared there, luring the Human Race genius Kedi to come and then killing him.
Kedi, a top human genius and the personal disciple of the Chaos City Lord, was lured and killed by the Zerg. Even the Chaos City Lord, the Universe Master, could not revive him, which was one of the greatest regrets in the Chaos City Lord's life.
Although Kedi has perished countless eons ago, he remains the pinnacle of genius among the Human Race in the universe. His achievement of conquering three Primal Heavenly Mountain — the Universe Level, Domain Lord Level, and World Lord Level —is enough to make countless future geniuses look up to him.
To cross the Universe Level Heavenly Bridge, one needs at least the Twelfth level of the Heavenly Bridge's Law Comprehension, while the mark of Immortal God is merely passing the Tenth Layer of the Heavenly Bridge.
At the Universe Level, one possesses Law Comprehension comparable to Immortal Army Lord, something countless Universe Level geniuses can only dream of.
Even a genius like Bolan Luofeng had only passed the sixth level when he left Chaos City, which was already the best result in tens of thousands of epochs.
If Zhang Junbao had given his all when he left Chaos City, he might have been able to compete with the Universe Level Kedi. However, outsiders did not know this; in their eyes, Kedi was the epitome of the most outstanding genius of the Human Race in the universe.
In the memory of the Phantom Marquis, Kedi was already at the Peak World Lord at this time. Upon meeting him, he severely injured the two Marquis Immortal, Rending Claw Marquis and Phantom Marquis. If it weren't for the ambush by the surrounding Universe Venerable, Kedi might have killed the two Marquis Immortal.
"After being sucked into the Eye of the Abyss, Phantom Marquis was unlucky and ended up near this shattered will. Her soul was fused with it, and she became one of the Void Faces. But she didn't see whether Kedi was dead."
Zhang Junbao was filled with doubt. His Soul Slave, the Zerg Mother Emperor Isabella, said that she was training in a secret realm of the Zerg and was accidentally sucked into the Chaotic God Demon Domain by the Eye of the Abyss.
Kedi was also sucked into a vortex similar to the Eye of the Abyss. Since the soul memories of the Phantom Marquis have been integrated into the Shattered Will, Kedi should have also fallen into the Chaotic God Demon Domain.
"I'm afraid the Kedi Zerg Secret Region Koti was tricked and killed is the Mother Emperor Mystic Realm that Isabella mentioned. After all, the Eye of the Abyss can connect to the Chaotic God Demon Domain, but neither humans nor Zerg seem to know much about it."
Furthermore, the chance of the Eye of the Abyss appearing is extremely low, so it's unlikely to be in another location.
In other words, within the Zerg Mother Emperor Mystic Realm, there also exists an Eye of the Abyss that can absorb life into the Chaotic God Demon Domain.
"If we can leave the Chaotic God Demon Domain, perhaps this will be a special passage connecting the Human Territory and the Zerg Territory."
As two of the most powerful races in the universe, the Human Race and the Zerg are sworn enemies of an era. There is no room for compromise between the two sides. Once the humans discover any trace of the Zerg, they will do everything in their power to annihilate Zerg.
The Zerg treat humans in the same way.
The border between the two major races is an extremely vast Outer Domain Battlefield. Powerful individuals who have reached the World Lord Level can apply to enter the Outer Domain Battlefield and fight against the races within it.
It's not just the Zerg; even the Demon Race, the Prison Race, the Machine Race, Demon Race Crystal Race, and other top races, along with their affiliated races, will enter the Outer Domain Battlefield to hunt down the strong members of opposing races.
As Core Member of the Virtual Universe Company, Zhang Junbao will also be required to enter the Outer Domain Battlefield to hunt down Alien Race and accumulate military merits after he becomes the World Lord.
On the borders of each race's territory, countless powerful beings guard the area to prevent invasions by Alien Race. If a special passage connecting the Human Race and the Zerg were to be discovered, its strategic significance would be immeasurable.
If the Human Race could use this passage to quietly enter the Zerg Territory, it would be a deadly threat to the Zerg.
"However, while some people can still find a way to leave the Purgatory Abyss, probably no one has ever found a way to leave the Chaotic God Demon Domain. Otherwise, even the Virtual Universe Company wouldn't have no records of this place."
The Universe Laws here are quite different from those of the Original Universe. Those who perish in the Chaotic God Demon Domain are likely beyond the revival even of the Chaos City Lord.
The Chaos City Lord once told Zhang Junbao that the Purgatory Abyss Secret Realm was extremely special. If one perished in the Purgatory Abyss, even Reverse Time and Space would not bring them back to life. This was one of the reasons why the Chaos City Lord opposed Zhang Junbao's entry into the abyss for training.
There must not be many such special secret realms in the universe. Since the Zerg Secret Region where Kedi fell was able to prevent the Chaos City Lord from resurrecting him, there must be some kind of connection between the two secret realms.
"However, while this memory of the Phantom Marquis might be important to her, it shouldn't be anything special to the owner of the shattered will. How could it be preserved so clearly?"
"Unless, this memory is somehow connected to the owner of the shattered will!"
Zhang Junbao felt as if he had accidentally touched upon some information about the owner of the shattered will.
"My memories end here, damn it!"
Just as Zhang Junbao had begun to make a guess, the Phantom Marquis's memory vanished, leaving him with a sense of bewilderment, like searching high and low only to find nothing. He was extremely unwilling to accept this!
"There must be other information. Once I find their commonalities, I can deduce information about the master of the shattered will!"
Zhang Junbao was quite unwilling. The memories of the Phantom Marquis made him realize that Kedi's fall might be related to the owner of the shattered will. Perhaps if he found this connection, he could try to awaken the owner of the shattered will. After all, he couldn't have retained such a memory for no reason.
"Since the Phantom Marquis has no relevant memories, we can only search for them in the memories of other souls!"
Although Zhang Junbao's soul was weak, his will remained unwavering. He reached out again, actively touching a memory from his soul.
The vast memories once again merged into Zhang Junbao's soul. At the same time, the voice that had inquired about the fundamental mysteries of the Space-Time Law kept echoing in his mind, as if it would soon completely take over Zhang Junbao's soul.
We must find him as soon as possible!
Seven-colored light flowed in Zhang Junbao's eyes, and the power of the Soul Origin Golden Fruit was constantly nourishing Zhang Junbao's soul, which was rapidly growing stronger.
He merged with the memories of one soul after another, and the vast memories of countless powerful figures constantly impacted Zhang Junbao's mind. Once his mind could no longer be protected, he might assimilate into these memories and completely forget who he was.
Waves of soul-piercing pain caused Zhang Junbao's body to tremble continuously, yet he remained pure of heart. The influx of countless powerful memories also elevated Zhang Junbao's understanding of the Space-Time Law to a whole new level.
Some of the assimilated powerhouses are genuinely studying the mysteries of the Space-Time Law, attempting to answer the questions of their shattered masters and comprehend spacetime through their own power.
Perhaps after being overwhelmed by endless memories, they have forgotten their original thoughts, and deep down they only have one thought: to comprehend the Space-Time Law.
The oppressive force of the broken will and soul from the outside world, along with the infusion of countless soul memories, constantly tempered Zhang Junbao's soul.
As he merges with more and more soul memories, Zhang Junbao's Soul Amplitude has now reached more than a thousand times.
Although his body trembled incessantly, a smile appeared on Zhang Junbao's soul. His speed in merging memories was increasing, and even though his mental state had reached the Third Layer level, he could still continue to improve.
An Immortal Expert, even in youth, has reached thousands of epochs. Such a vast amount of memories is like a series of unfathomable and terrifying illusions. The slightest mistake will cause one's will to be overwhelmed and shattered by the massive memories, and then one will be trapped in them forever.
"Before Taiji, there was Wuji. The primordial chaos was Meng Yi unified whole, without distinction. Therefore, Wuji is the mother of Taiji and the innate mechanism of all things."
The two energies separated, heaven and earth were divided, yin and yang emerged, this is the Taiji...
Deep within Zhang Junbao's soul, he constantly deduced the True Meaning of Taiji. This was the fundamental means for him to prevent his inner self from being overwhelmed by the vast memories. As long as the True Meaning of Taiji remained, he would forever be Zhang Junbao.
Gradually, Zhang Junbao's voice began to grow louder, even drowning out the voice within his soul that was questioning the mysteries of the Space-Time Origin.
What is spacetime?
"The mother of Wuji and Taiji, the root of all things."
Zhang Junbao's voice seemed to be casually answering the question posed by the owner of the shattered will.
Those frantically roaring and distorted faces began to calm down, seemingly pondering whether the essence of Zhang Junbao's True Meaning of Taiji was in harmony with the Universe's Origin of Laws.
"All things are contained within the Bagua. The Bagua return to the Four Symbols, merging Yin and Yang, which is the Taiji Chaos."
"Time and space are inherently unified Law; it's just that people think they're separated and divided into time and space."
"With the limited understanding of humankind, the forced decomposition of the Space-Time Law has long led to the emergence of so-called Time Venerable and Space Venerable."
The Universe Venerable should never have existed in the first place; there is no absolute time or absolute space in the universe!
Zhang Junbao's voice resounded in his soul, and echoed by another voice, the very voice that had originally asked what time and space were.
The voices grew louder and louder, as if the two were answering each other's questions.
What is spacetime, and how can spacetime be integrated?
"Without time, space has no meaning; without space, time is meaningless. Time and space are inherently one, following the natural order. The Original Universe is constantly revealing the mysteries of the Origin of Laws to us. Experience the true nature of the universe; time and space are originally integrated!"
Countless illusory faces gradually overlapped, as if returning to their original form.
A gradually solidifying figure appeared within Zhang Junbao's soul, standing facing him.
The two spoke back and forth, revealing the profound mysteries of the Universe Origin.
Wild and unrestrained, yet refined and self-satisfied, the two possessed two completely different temperaments, like two opposing sides of the universe, yin and yang complementing each other, and strength and gentleness in harmony.
Suddenly, the figure stopped, stood quietly in front of Zhang Junbao, stared at his face, tears welling in the corners of her eyes, and spoke.
"Teacher, is that you?"
Zhang Junbao was startled awake and looked at the burly figure in front of him. The figure had an extremely imposing and domineering appearance, with a resolute face as if carved by a knife, and eyebrows like two sharp swords that could cut through the void.
Yet this resolute and dignified strongman was now in tears before Zhang Junbao, as if he were a child who had been lost for many years and had just returned home.
"Teacher?"
Zhang Junbao was astonished. This powerful figure before him had mistaken him for his teacher? How could that be?
"You're not the teacher! Why do you look so much like the teacher? Who are you really?"
As soon as Zhang Junbao opened his mouth, the powerful figure in front of him sensed something was wrong. His aura exploded instantly, his tears dried, and Zhang Junbao felt an overwhelming and domineering aura wash over him.
If he cannot provide a perfect explanation, he will likely face a furious and overwhelming attack.
"This is what the original form of the master of the shattered will looked like—it's so similar to Human Race!"
"But why would he consider me his teacher?"
Countless thoughts flashed through Zhang Junbao's mind. Unknowingly, he had indeed drawn out the master of the shattered will, but this master did not seem to be very friendly.
"My name is Zhang Junbao, I pay my respects to you, senior!"
" Zhang Junbao?"
"You're definitely not a teacher, but why is your demeanor so similar to a teacher's? I even sense a trace of a teacher's lingering aura in you!"
The master of the shattered will looked at Zhang Junbao in front of him. He was dressed in a moon-white Daoist robe, his figure was ethereal, and his long hair flowed over his shoulders. He was as gentle and refined as jade. Anyone who saw him would feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"I am Primal Secret Region Member of the Virtual Universe Company, and a disciple of the Chaos City Lord."
Since the owner of the shattered will is quite similar to the Human Race, Zhang Junbao decided to take a gamble, betting that he must have some connection with the Human Race.
As one of the guardians of the Human Race in the universe, the Chaos City Lord has been the head of the Virtual Universe Company since the Original Ancestor. If the master of the Shattered Will has any connection with the Human Race, then he must know the Chaos City Lord.
" The Chaos City Lord?"
" Chaos City?"
" Chaos!"
"You are a disciple of Chaos!"
Damn it!
The owner of the shattered will muttered to himself, seemingly unable to recall who the Chaos City Lord was at first. However, as his memories gradually surfaced, the face of the Chaos City Lord appeared in his mind, instantly igniting his anger. He glared at Zhang Junbao with wide eyes.
He actually threw a punch at Zhang Junbao.
With the power of the master of the shattered will, if this punch landed, Zhang Junbao's soul would probably be completely annihilated, leaving not even ashes.
Even though he is currently just a shattered Soul Will, his level of soul power far surpasses Zhang Junbao's!
Zhang Junbao stared wide-eyed as a fist carrying terrifying power hurtled toward him.
The Zhou Heavenly Star Great Array Formation Plate, with the Ancestral God Lingxi Rhinoceros as its base, instantly appeared before him. The eight Law Core, which Zhang Junbao had already recognized as his masters, were now flashing with various colors of light, resonating with the Ancestral God Lingxi Rhinoceros, distorting space and time, and firmly blocking the punch from the master whose will was shattered.
A white light suddenly rose from Zhang Junbao's soul, protecting it.
"Boom!!!"
Zhang Junbao's soul within his Life Core was like glass struck by a bullet, with countless fine spiderweb-like cracks crawling all over it. The rising white light merely protected the origin of his soul; even if the surrounding souls shattered, Zhang Junbao would not die immediately.
Meanwhile, the eight Law Core of the Supreme Treasure- level Zhou Heavenly Star Great Array Formation Plate continuously roared, their resonance with the Ancestral God Lingxi Rhinoceros was almost directly shattered. Although not completely broken, the eight Law Core also continued to roar, like children who had suffered endless grievances.
The owner of the shattered will immediately stopped what he was doing when the white light appeared, staring intently at Zhang Junbao.
Teacher, it really is you!
"Why did this happen? Damn Chaos, it's all his fault!"
The owner of the shattered will seemed to be greatly stimulated, clutching his head with both hands and roaring incessantly.
Zhang Junbao's soul was shattered by his punch, and it was only because he held back at the last moment that Bai Guang was able to preserve the last bit of Zhang Junbao's soul essence.
