The Three Bound Planets
As Shen Hui passed through the spatial passage, he immediately felt a chilling coldness wash over him.
This was the feeling even in the Creator Form and under the protection of the world. Without these precautions, Shen Hui believed without hesitation that he would have been completely reduced to dust and vanished in this coldness.
And these terrifying fluctuations of energy originate from...
Shen Hui, Shen Hui emerged from the spatial passage, was also on a desolate planet, but the scene there made him involuntarily widen his eyes.
Shen Hui looked up and gazed at the sky. There was no starry sky composed of dazzling and dense planets; there was only a deathly, cold darkness. He could only see the light of planets flickering in the distance, some unknown.
This is the depths of the Sea of Stars, but this is just a name given to it by humans. The true depths may not be here, but what is certain is that the starry environment here is extremely harsh.
"This is...".
As Shen Hui gazed into the dark depths of the sky, he suddenly noticed something, and soon, exclamations of surprise echoed around him.
"Holy crap, what is this? It's... it's magnificent!"
"This is incredible; these planets are actually bound."
"An ancient and weathered planet, its age unknown, all I can sense is the aura emanating from bygone ages."
"It's a pity, these planets seem to be devoid of any life, possessing only the remaining World Origin Power."
"But I can't even imagine how they managed to pull off such a massive undertaking!"
As Shen Hui moved through his field of vision, he was obscured by a massive planet, giving him the same shock as a fist suddenly appearing only 1 millimeter away from his eyes.
This inevitably reminded Shen Hui of the first time he saw the Star-Devouring Behemoth.
This planet has strange patterns and markings on its surface, resembling craters formed by some kind of impact. It's remarkable that such marks could be left on such a planet.
Shen Hui guessed that it was most likely related to the impending destruction of this world.
What is most striking and astonishing is that this planet is bound by enormous chains.
One end of the chain was vertically connected to the planet they were standing on.
It looked just like when we Nascent World, only the chains were far more massive, and...
There is more than one planet bound here. In a slightly farther direction, there are two other similar planets that are also bound to the planet beneath their feet by chains.
"This is indeed a grand undertaking!" Shen Hui exclaimed, as it looked like a "giant beast" that had been imprisoned in the Sea of Stars since time immemorial.
Zhuge Hongjing was nearby, noticed something amiss and said, "These chains are drawing power from these three planetary worlds, which is different from the situation in the Nascent World."
Ye Long asked curiously, "Then what is this chain? It shouldn't be... a physical object, right?"
As Ye Long spoke, he himself became somewhat uncertain, even though they were all creators, capable of creating all kinds of life in their own worlds.
But chains that can bind a planet are clearly not among these categories.
Ye Long wasn't the only one curious about this; everyone nearby, including Shen Hui, looked towards Zhuge Hongjing.
Although he may not necessarily know, he seems to be the only person here who does.
"I only know a little. These chains are not physical objects; they are constructed from laws. However, the conditions for their construction are extremely complex, making them almost impossible to apply to our Creation World, which possesses a creator."
As Zhuge Hongjing finished speaking, dense symbols appeared on the three incredibly thick chains, which then emitted a blue light.
The chains then trembled, colliding with each other with a dull clang, a powerful sound that drifted far into the silent starry sky, yet also sounded ethereal.
It was as if a primordial beast, slumbering in the starry sky, had awakened and was emitting a sleepy cry.
A more violent chill transformed into a gale that swept in all directions. Shen Hui saw the meteorite fragments near the three planets shatter, with smaller fragments turning into dust and dissipating.
Some people noticed and quickly activated their own Creation World to protect themselves. A cold gust of wind blew by, and some people swayed, but they managed to withstand it.
Immediately afterwards, a beam of colorful light surged from each of the three bound planets, overshadowing the blue runic light emanating from the chains.
A vibrant aura of World Power emanated from it, and for a moment, everyone saw the flickering phantoms of some enormous creatures.
As if they were fragments of images of creatures that once existed in these three worlds, the colorful light surged along the chains toward the planet beneath their feet.
Finally, they gathered together and disappeared completely.
Now everyone could see that the chains' effect of binding the planet was only one aspect; their primary function was to absorb the World Power contained within these three decaying, wood-covered planets.
And what is the purpose of absorbing this World Power...? President Fan Hao immediately showed them.
President Fan Hao floated in mid-air, one hand outstretched, above which floated a slowly rotating off-white planetary world.
There was also mist similar to that in Shen Hui's Creation World, but this was a lively and ethereal mist, unlike Shen Hui's lifeless gray-black mist.
"Everyone, prepare yourselves. The spatial passage to the Chaos Forbidden Domain is right here, though it's hidden deep within the space. When I activate and reveal it, that will be the opening of the Chaos Forbidden Domain spatial passage."
"The opening period is limited, so be sure to enter quickly. What happens after you enter is up to you."
After President Fan Hao finished speaking, he suddenly gripped his own Creation World in his hand.
Suddenly, a substance that was somewhere between mist and powder burst open from his hand, spreading out almost instantly and turning into wisps of white smoke that enveloped the surroundings.
In the distance, the towering peaks of Zhongling Stone Pavilion stood all around, Perfect blending with the planet they originally stood on.
An ancient and magnificent sect vaguely appeared, with thousands of disciples gathered together, surrounded by chains that had been inserted from beyond the sky.
The disciples worked together to form hand seals, channeling their spiritual energy to shake the chains, which began to rattle and pull downwards.
Before anyone who witnessed this magical scene could even marvel, they were immediately drawn to the sound emanating from the Sea of Stars.
As the chains were pulled, the Sea of Stars roared violently, and the planet beneath their feet began to tremble violently.
A magnificent, enormous sphere of light was pulled out from the chains connecting the planets they were standing on.
