Chapter 1291 : Riji Creates the Heavens
Eldrin resolved to use his own body as bait, aiming to deal a crippling blow to the demonic forces in 1 decisive move.
He gazed at the assembled immortals, his expression grave as he spoke, "We should have sufficient manpower. These trustworthy individuals can be contacted first."
"Remember, it must be someone absolutely trustworthy."
"We would rather invite fewer people than risk bringing in those we cannot trust. If word were to leak, it could very well lead to catastrophe."
Hearing this, Riji spoke up, "Set your mind at ease. As you said, every person I have chosen shares our fate entirely—their glory is our glory, their loss is our loss. They would never betray us."
Upon hearing this, all the immortals couldn't help but reveal expressions of extreme solemnity.
They knew full well that if this battle succeeded, they could likely slay at least 1 or 2 Earth Immortals from the demon race, or even several Half-Step Earth Immortals in terms of combat strength.
If this move succeeds, it might slightly shift the tides of the battle at Flowing River 100 Seas.
It must be known that across the entire Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, only nearly a 1000 Earth Immortals had entered the tribulation this time.
Scattered across the 30-3 heavenly seas, each sea now held barely 30-some individuals.
Liuchuan Baihai could be considered 1 of the pivotal figures in this great tribulation. Yet the number of Earth Immortals who could undergo their heavenly trials here—from both sides combined—was likely no more than a 100 or so.
The Flowing Fire Star Palace contributed 17, the Heaven Slaughter Clan over 40, while the remaining various Earth Immortals amounted to merely 50 or 60 in total. Among them, the demon race numbered fewer than 30, with the rest comprising humans and deities.
In such circumstances, if 1 could slay 1 or 2 Earth Immortals from the demon race along with several Quasi Earth Immortals, it might truly tip the scales of the battlefield ever so slightly.
After all, the Azure Stream Ancient Sect was hailed as the third greatest power across the Flowing Rivers and 100 Seas, yet even at its zenith, it only possessed 4 Half-Step Earth Immortals. Meanwhile, the 1000 Dragon Lake, guarded by a late-stage Earth Immortal, boasted a mere 5 True Dragons of Earth Immortal rank.
"This battle must end in victory; failure is absolutely not an option."
Everyone murmured in their hearts, fully aware of the significance of this battle.
Seeing this, Eldrin smiled faintly and said, "There is still ample time. We may first continue to digest our accumulated foundations. It would be wiser to act after Fellow Cultivator Riji breaks through to the Earth Immortal realm and consolidates her cultivation."
"The time shall be set for 1 1000 years from now."
Riji nodded upon hearing this and said, "There's no time like the present. Today, I shall open the heavens. You may observe my act of world creation—it may prove beneficial to your future cultivation."
A terrestrial immortal embarking on the path of world creation—such a spectacle was truly a once-in-a-million-years event across the entire expanse of the seas. Naturally, the assembled immortals did not let this opportunity slip by, each eager to witness the act of cleaving heaven and earth to forge a new realm.
Behold, Riji gathered her supreme primordial power, as her Great Sun Divine Body and the Laws of the Great Sun—2 foundational pillars of creation—resonated in radiant harmony, unleashing a world-shaking force never before witnessed.
In that fleeting instant, the Heavens of Vast Azure stirred, and a profound, inscrutable will of the celestial order cast its gaze downward.
The Heavenly Will sensed the Dao Fruit of Creation within Ri Ji, and immediately tore open a dimensional void, sending her into a realm of chaotic emptiness.
"This is..."
The assembled immortals could not help but show astonishment at this sight.
Eldrin (Person Name) possessed some insight into this matter and immediately spoke up: "The genesis of heaven and earth certainly did not occur within the Cang Sky Realm."
"The location exists within dimensional space, separate from the dimension we inhabit." As Eldrin spoke, the assembled immortals began to comprehend the nature of this world-forging realm.
The Endless Chaos is, in truth, composed of innumerable dimensions, within which evolve countless starry cosmos. Each dimension contains hundreds of millions of major worlds.
Boundless starry skies, infinite cosmos, myriad worlds, and vast expanses of time and space—all exist within the endless dimensions.
The celestial realm exists within the primordial chaos, representing the highest dimension among all the myriad worlds and serving as the origin point of all dimensions.
The Violet Realm where Eldrin once cultivated, and even the boundless starry cosmos, were in fact all contained within these endless dimensions. Strictly speaking, they belonged to the lower dimensional voids.
From the perspective of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, the vast cosmic universe—with its hundreds of millions of celestial bodies—is fundamentally composed of countless dimensions, each containing trillions upon trillions of starry macrocosms.
Like the Solar Star and Lunar Star in the cosmos, along with the 9 Heavens Stars.
Its primordial form resides within the Primal Immortal Realm, while its essence exists at the origin point of infinite dimensions. What manifests across the boundless dimensional spaces are but its manifested lower-dimensional avatars.
Or perhaps, beings in the lower-dimensional universe could never comprehend the sun at the dimensional origin point.
Just as ants crawling upon a sheet of paper believe the world has no peaks or valleys, mortals treading upon the stars delude themselves into thinking the earth is flat.
Little did they know, from a higher dimension's perspective, the world was far more than this.
Throughout their entire lives, what they witnessed was merely a drop in the vast ocean of this star, and what they touched was but a single fragment of its boundless expanse.
Within the endless dimensions, the sun that all living beings behold is but a faint, insignificant ray of light emanating from the Solar Star at the source of all dimensions.
The worlds created by Earth Immortal Patriarchs are no different—they cannot withstand the chaotic torrents of higher-dimensional origin points, rendering them incapable of carving out realms within the endless chaos.
Thus, the worlds they forged were born within the endless chaotic dimensional expanse, not from the primordial chaos where the source of infinite dimensions resides.
Strictly speaking, once a cultivator reaches the Nascent Soul realm, they already possess the ability to temporarily slip into the interstices of space.
In the lower realm, a Primordial Spirit Dao Lord could tear through the void, traversing the seams of emptiness to instantly arrive beyond the endless void.
Immortals could recline upon the fabric of spatial dimensions, existing as beings entirely transcending 3-dimensional space.
Alas, the vast majority of great worlds lack sufficient rank to withstand the power of immortals, compelling all cultivators to ascend to the Celestial Realm.
After ascending to the Chaotic Immortal Realm, immortals found themselves constrained by the spatial laws of the realm, no longer able to tear through the void with ease. Only Celestial Immortals of great power could roam freely through the endless dimensions.
And the great world opened up by an Earth Immortal is precisely a 3-dimensional great world artificially created within the infinite dimensional spaces.
Within the boundless chaotic dimensions, the myriad realm seas are countless. Most are naturally born from the tides of time and space, yet many are carved out by powerful beings such as this.
"Boundless Chaos, the Sea of Realms in Flux."
"The Earth Immortal realm may 1 day transform into a Celestial Immortal cosmos, or even evolve into a Primordial Chaos Immortal Domain—perhaps it is merely a process of dimensional ascension."
Eldrin murmured softly, withdrawing his thoughts.
He gazed into the dimensional void where Sun Ji had departed, then spoke softly: "When Earth Immortals forge new realms, they touch upon the profound mysteries of chaotic space."
"This is a rare opportunity for both you and me."
As the words faded, Eldrin took a single step forward, crossing into that expanse of dimensional void.
The immortals followed closely behind, yet the moment they stepped inside, they could not help but reveal looks of astonishment.
This was a rift within the void, where all directions blurred into haze. Neither space nor time existed here—only the boundless breath of chaos permeated everything.
Crowded, stifling, dark—everything was primordial chaos, where not even space had yet come into being.
It exists within the boundless dimensions, where there is neither height nor depth, neither breadth nor narrowness—not even the concept of length remains.
It was a 0-dimensional space, or rather, a void origin point known as "Nothingness".
Here, there was no space, no time, nothing existed anymore—only the aura of chaos permeating and threading through the endless dimensions.
Time and space held no meaning for it.
Until this very day, a dazzling golden light arrived at this void origin point. P.S. It's been so long since I last repaid my debts—today, 4 chapters to settle up!
