Chapter 370: The Future is Collapsing and Returning to One

Inside Yuan's secluded chamber within his cave dwelling, located in the Initial Land, a towering figure sat cross-legged. His body was an unshakable pillar seemingly propping up the infinite Chaotic Origin Space. Around him, various 'Great Dao' principles materialized.

Some transformed into winding divine dragons circling his arms, while firebirds hovered among his hair. Brilliant mists flowed from his mouth and nose, and billions of universes materialized on his skin.

“Lord, the Bosun World Cluster, Wind Seven Line, has fallen...”“Lord, the Changqu Origin World has been breached, its essence devoured...”“Lord, the Ice Peak Faction has entered our Chunwei World Cluster. I attempted to repel them, but a terrifying entity from the Ice Peak Faction intervened, destroying my primary combat avatar. The Ice Peak Faction has now occupied 12 of our world clusters! They are clearly not satisfied yet!”

Information continuously poured in.

As the Cultivator Faction's first Lord, Yuan possessed immense cultivation and deep experience. His chosen path was also exceptionally well-suited for managing their vast domain. While the Cultivator Faction nominally had seven Lords, each overseeing a specific territory, Yuan typically made decisions for most critical faction-wide matters. Only matters of exceptional importance warranted joint deliberation among all seven Lords.

A constant flow of information arrived. Yuan calmly issued commands.

He slowly opened his eyes, which revealed the birth and destruction of spacetime, alongside surging thunder and fire.

“While our Cultivator Faction is completely suppressed by the Innate Chaotic Origin Life Faction, other forces are seizing the opportunity to take a bite.” Yuan was quite vexed, though his vexation changed nothing. After all, while the seven Cultivator Lords were formidable adversaries in the infinite Chaotic Origin Space, other factions were equally difficult to deal with. No force with a seat in the Eternal Land was easily handled. Entities that were unattached, immortal, and undying were particularly troublesome. Their current opportunistic annexation of the Cultivator Faction's resources was a major headache for Yuan.

Under normal circumstances, the seven Lords alone would be enough to send some immortal and undying entities fleeing in disarray. However, under the aggressive pressure from the Innate Chaotic Origin Faction, the Lords could no longer divert their strength.

“There are still too few Lords,” Yuan mused. “The Innate Chaotic Origin Life Faction is the foremost power precisely because they possess over a hundred Ancestors!”

“Cultivator Luo Feng has comprehended the 97th type of world-level Chaotic Origin bloodline.” This piece of information, inconspicuous amidst the torrent of data, nevertheless surprised Yuan.

“He has already comprehended 97 types.” Yuan began to pay close attention. To comprehend 97 types of world-level Chaotic Origin bloodlines was already exceptionally rare. Among the current seven Lords, five first refined Origin Worlds to become 'Origin World Masters.' They then leveraged their enhanced thought processing speed, comprehension, and other abilities at that level to ultimately comprehend the Chaotic Origin-level Dao. The remaining two, 'Starflare Lord' and 'Naigu Lord,' were cultivators of the Fusion Dao, both of whom had long studied world-level Chaotic Origin bloodlines.

Before transcending the cage, Naigu Lord had comprehended 397 types of world-level Chaotic Origin bloodlines. Starflare Lord, before transcending the cage, had comprehended 512 types of world-level Chaotic Origin bloodlines. Naturally, both shared a commonality: at that time, the Cultivator Faction had far fewer world-level Chaotic Origin bloodlines recorded – less than half of the current number.

“Historically, among Fusion Dao cultivators who transcended the cage, only Starflare and Naigu had comprehended over a hundred types of world-level Chaotic Origin bloodlines,” Yuan thought with some anticipation.

Luo Feng's current secluded cultivation spot maintained a million-fold time acceleration, enabling him to comprehend world-level Chaotic Origin bloodlines at an incredibly fast pace.

“Cultivator Luo Feng has comprehended the 100th type of world-level Chaotic Origin bloodline.”“Cultivator Luo Feng has comprehended the 159th type of world-level Chaotic Origin bloodline.”“Cultivator Luo Feng has comprehended the 231st type of world-level Chaotic Origin bloodline.”

Initially, Yuan had only paid slight attention to Luo Feng's progress amidst his many duties. Later, his primary focus shifted entirely to Luo Feng's information; the importance of all other communications within the Cultivator Faction was now secondary.

“How can it be this fast? In just one epoch, he increased from the original 43 types to 231 types?” Yuan was astonished. Even with the time acceleration of the cave dwelling, that still meant comprehending 200 types within a million epochs.

Yuan did not immediately notify the other six Lords. At that very moment, their seven primary combat avatars were locked in battle against 71 Ancestor-level entities! On one side, the experienced and numerous Ancestors, coordinating perfectly, held an overwhelming advantage. Their goal was to eliminate one Lord's primary combat avatar, thereby forcing the other six into a full retreat. On the other side were the seven Lords, who had grasped the essence of the Dao. While primarily focused on defense, they were also attempting to identify and eliminate a weaker Ancestor through their coordinated efforts. For a confrontation at their level, fighting for thousands of epochs was entirely normal.

“300 types of world-level Chaotic Origin bloodlines.”“400 types.”“He has reached 513 types; he has already comprehended more world-level Chaotic Origin bloodlines than any other Cultivator before transcending the cage.” Yuan was thrilled; it had been a long time since he had felt such excitement.

The sheer number of world-level Chaotic Origin bloodlines Luo Feng had comprehended, surpassing even Naigu Lord and Starflare Lord, was not Yuan's primary source of excitement, especially considering the significantly fewer bloodlines available for study back then. His fundamental excitement stemmed from one fact: it was happening too fast! Luo Feng's rate of comprehension was utterly overwhelming, sweeping through everything in his path. Not a single world-level Chaotic Origin bloodline seemed to take him a significant amount of time.

“600 types.”“800 types.”“1,000 types!” Yuan's eyes gleamed brightly. “In less than ten epochs—a mere ten million epochs in real time—he has continuously comprehended so many world-level Chaotic Origin bloodlines. He must have grasped their very essence!”

“What kind of essence could possibly connect over a thousand types of world-level Chaotic Origin bloodlines? Luo Feng must have already touched upon some form of ultimate power!”

Yuan immediately transmitted a message to the other six Lords.

“Everyone, prioritize dealing with these Ancestors; try to delay them as much as possible,” Yuan messaged. “I have good news for you all: our Cultivator Faction is likely on the verge of producing a new Lord!”

In the Initial Land, all seven Lords had avatars present, gathered together.

“A new Lord?”

Jin, Wulan, Minghuang, Naigu, Starflare, Moman, and Yuan—all seven Lords were now deeply excited. They couldn't help it; the Innate Chaotic Origin Life Faction had severely battered them recently. Furthermore, other opportunistic forces had taken advantage of their plight, leaving them feeling quite aggrieved. They had even anticipated that, given the enemy's current relentless determination, the entire territory of the Cultivator Faction might fall. Losing all territory would eliminate the continuous stream of cultivators, making it incredibly difficult to nurture new Lords. Furthermore, the extinction of countless sentient cultivator beings was something none of the seven Lords wished to witness.

“Luo Feng has already comprehended over a thousand types of world-level Chaotic Origin bloodlines!”

The six Lords who had just received the news were somewhat shocked.

“How long has he even been cultivating?” Lord Moman couldn't help but exclaim. “Only about 1,500 epochs, or just over 1.5 billion epochs in real secluded cultivation time! That's far too short a period.”

“It is indeed very short,” Starflare Lord said softly. “When I broke through using sheer power, it took me approximately 120 quadrillion epochs in real time.”

It was through an immensely long period of arduous struggle that Starflare Lord finally mastered the Chaotic Origin-level Dao of Spacetime.

“Starflare, don't you have many avatars in the future?” Jin asked excitedly, urging, “Quickly, peer into Luo Feng's future.”
