Chapter 2206: Singularity World

Mi Li’s face showed a relieved smile. “Because you have touched a higher level of power. The cultivators in this world cultivate individually, at most utilizing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which ultimately has its limits. But you have directly touched the very essence of an entire world, and grasped the power contained within it. The difference in level is immense, so when you look back at those former cultivators, they naturally seem insignificant.”

“I see,” a flicker of understanding crossed Zu An’s eyes.

“When you see more worlds and experience more powerful beings in the future, you will also feel very weak compared to your current self,” Mi Li said, looking up into the void, seemingly lost in thought.

Zu An nodded, his yearning for other worlds in the cosmos growing stronger.

Following Mi Li’s instructions, he completely bound the World Law Beacon and the Poisoned Dagger together. In that instant, he gained a profound understanding: he seemed capable of commanding the will of this world to a certain extent.

Now, the first thing to do was that matter.

Holding the Poisoned Dagger, he began to connect with the will of the entire world.

Outside this world, countless demons were hovering in the cosmos, relentlessly bombarding certain past vulnerabilities in the world’s barrier, attempting to open another gap to allow them to enter smoothly.

Just then, a bright light suddenly flashed around the entire world’s exterior. The demon that was attacking the world barrier was struck by the light, immediately screamed in agony, and turned to ash.

The other demons’ expressions changed, and they scattered, not daring to continue their assault.

At that moment, the bright lights swiftly enveloped the entire outer layer of the planet. All previously existing vulnerabilities were completely sealed, leaving no gaps whatsoever.

Many demons wore grim expressions.

“It seems Lord of Myriad Transformations and its group have failed.”

“A bunch of failures!”

“The World Law Beacon actually fell into the hands of a native.”

“But how could a creature from such a weak world control a World Law Beacon? It’s truly strange.”

“There’s no use thinking so much; this is the reality. Now that the plans for both the Sealed Land and the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons have failed, only one last chance remains.”

“Indeed. Otherwise, breaking the world barrier head-on would be impossible, unless we could enlist those few beings from the various realms.”

“The intelligence from the third path indicates everything is going smoothly. It seems we will be able to fully enter this world soon.”

“Heh, you said that twice before, and now these natives have even repaired the world barrier!”

“What else can we say? This is our only hope.”

In the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons, Zu An opened his eyes. In that moment, his mind had connected with the world’s consciousness. He caught a fleeting glimpse of the demons outside and thought how fortunate it was that the world barrier existed; otherwise, the cultivators of this world probably couldn't defeat so many powerful demons.

But now, he didn’t need to worry so much; the world barrier had been reconstructed, and these creatures couldn’t get in.

The only thing he needed to worry about was what their “third path” plan truly was.

He recalled Gao Ying mentioning the great chaos in the capital, which surely had the shadow of those demons behind it.

He said to Mi Li, “You were wondering before why the world laws of this weak world were so colorful. I finally know the reason now.”

“Oh? Why?” Mi Li’s interest was piqued.

“Because this is a special world. It can connect to any other world, transcending distances of time and space,” Zu An said gravely. In that instant of connecting with the world’s consciousness, he had understood many secrets.

The cosmos, as we know, is vast beyond measure, truly boundless. According to the scientific theories of his previous life, even at the speed of light, traversing the entire universe would be like an ant crawling.

The universe in his past life was so vast that light would take 93 billion years to cross it—what an incredibly long time! 93 billion years would be enough for the Daos of some Great Emperors in novels of his past life to be worn away countless times.

Moreover, the universe here might not be the same as the one from his previous life; it could be even larger. And as Mi Li had mentioned before, there might be other universes beyond this one.

Such immense distances would surely exhaust even the strongest beings’ lifespans if they were to cross them. Yet, communication between worlds still occurred. Even though this world was located at the edge of the current universe, demons could still reach it.

This was possible because of certain special points in the universe. For instance, imagine a piece of paper. Theoretically, the shortest distance between two points on it is a straight line. But if you fold that paper, the two points can overlap, allowing direct access to each other without having to travel the seemingly shortest straight line.

And in the universe, there are precisely such points. Small ones can be understood as wormholes, while larger ones can be entire worlds. The world Zu An was currently in happened to be one such special existence.

No wonder this world had so many secret realms! No wonder each secret realm felt like another world!

In that moment, Zu An’s mind suddenly cleared, and many previous confusions were explained.

“So that’s it,” Mi Li’s eyes lit up. “I never thought this would be a Singularity World!”

“Singularity World?” Zu An had never heard that term before.

“Precisely. Among the myriad realms of the universe, there are some special worlds that can connect to other worlds, allowing travel to them in the shortest time. Furthermore, unless permitted by the world’s owner, outsiders cannot enter these special worlds, providing a sense of absolute safety. These worlds are called Singularity Worlds due to their unique spatiotemporal attributes,” Mi Li said with a sigh of emotion.

“Because Singularity Worlds are so precious, the owner of every Singularity World in the universe’s realms is an ultimate powerhouse. Only they can claim ultimate ownership of such a world through countless battles and massacres. I never imagined you would obtain such a precious Singularity World in this seemingly peripheral world.”

Zu An couldn’t help but chuckle. “My luck seems to be consistently good.”

Mi Li also couldn’t help but smile. “That’s true. Anyone else who frequently walked the line of life and death like you would have probably squandered their life away long ago.”

“I haven’t been reckless. Every time, I’ve faced things with my full attention,” Zu An also said with emotion, reflecting on his many near-death experiences and wondering if his luck would continue to hold.

“By the way, since this world is a Singularity World, its world origin shouldn’t be so weak. It’s most likely because of some past upheaval that it split into various fragments. This current world should only be one of those fragments, possibly the most unique one. You can combine the previous Underworld with this world to strengthen its origin. By collecting other fragments in the future, you can likely restore this Singularity World to its peak, or even surpass its former glory,” Mi Li said, pacing back and forth as she pondered.

Zu An felt a little worried. “The Underworld is the world of the dead. Integrating it, won’t it cause immense suffering to the living?”

“You don’t need to worry about that,” Mi Li explained. “The Underworld is just one of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and this Singularity World can be viewed entirely as the Mortal Realm. They originally belonged to the Six Paths and share the same root and origin, so integrating them will not cause problems.”

“On the contrary, cultivators, beast races, and sea races in the Mortal Realm will find their cultivation limits raised as the world’s origin strengthens. The Underworld will also grow stronger by receiving the deceased from this world. It’s a win-win situation.”

Zu An breathed a sigh of relief. “Then how do I merge the two worlds?”

Mi Li seemed to have briefly mentioned this before.

“It’s not difficult for you. You just need to merge the world law beacons of the two worlds. Since you are now both the master of this Singularity World and hold authority over the Underworld, doing this is as easy as turning your hand,” Mi Li paused.

“However, I suggest you postpone the merger for a while. Firstly, after the merger, the world barrier will reassemble, which would give the demons outside an opportunity to invade. Secondly, once the worlds merge, the origin of this Singularity World will greatly strengthen. At that time, everyone’s cultivation speed and upper limits in this entire world will rapidly increase. From what those demons said, there should also be a third path that has infiltrated this world. If the restrictions are suddenly lifted, they will immediately recover their original strength, while the natives of this world will still need time to grow stronger. Such a situation would be disadvantageous to you.”

Zu An couldn't help but admire her. “My beautiful Master truly considers everything thoroughly!”

“It’s only because I’m afraid you might get carried away after your successive victories and the increase in your strength,” Mi Li corrected him on the addressing issue countless times, but he never changed, so she eventually let him be. After all, she liked hearing him call her Master the most, and “beautiful” also sounded quite nice…

“Remember, in this world, weakness isn't necessarily a bad thing. At least it forces people to approach everything with their full attention. Conversely, arrogance leads to more danger. Countless powerhouses across the myriad realms of the universe have fallen due to arrogance.”
