253: Chapter 253 The Birth of the Infinite World!

This time, the ten-draw yielded a total of two gray, one blue, three purple, one orange, one gold, and two red traits.

Among them, the orange trait "Borrowing Power to Strike" and the gold trait "Karma Entanglement" had effects that were as their names suggested, and both were quite good.

"Borrowing Power to Strike" could convert a portion of an opponent's attack power for one's own use, using the opponent's own way to return the favor; it was quite practical in combat.

"Karma Entanglement" was more mysterious; as long as someone formed Karma with Gu Yan, no matter how far apart they were, he could clearly perceive their location and status, allowing him to calmly handle pursuits or avoid danger.

But compared to the last two red traits, these two were merely the icing on the cake and unimportant.

Even with his cultivation at the seventh level of the Immortal King Realm, Gu Yan could not help but feel excited.

Indestructible Body of Ten Thousand Calamities.

Lord of the Infinite Great Thousand Worlds.

Either one of these traits would be enough to make him happy for a long time, and now he had drawn two at once in a single ten-draw.

Gu Yan took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

He carefully read the effects of the "Indestructible Body of Ten Thousand Calamities" again.

Immortal and indestructible, rebirth at any space-time node, rebirth at the Peak, no cooldown.

When receiving an attack, the Physical Body and Divine Soul simultaneously develop eternal resistance, and the resistance accumulates infinitely with the number of attacks until it is completely immune and feeds back into oneself.

To put it simply, this trait meant two things: you cannot kill me, and the more you hit me, the stronger I become.

Gu Yan felt that the problems he had been worrying about, such as not being able to suppress enemies across major Realm levels, seemed to suddenly become less important.

So what if you can't beat them?

If you can't beat them, just wear them down.

You hit me with a punch, and my resistance increases by one point.

You slash me with a blade, and my Physical Body becomes stronger by an inch.

As the fight goes on, you get tired, and I get stronger.

What is this called? This is called sustainable development.

Gu Yan suppressed the emotional fluctuations brought about by the "Indestructible Body of Ten Thousand Calamities" and turned his gaze to the last red trait.

"Infinite Great Thousand Worlds · Red".

Upgrade any world into an Infinite Great Thousand Worlds.

Infinitely derive Void Realm and Heaven and Earth outward, layered and nested, endless.

As the Lord of the World, one thought evolves all things, one thought opens up a world, one thought erases Heaven and Earth.

Gu Yan pondered this effect.

Simply put, it meant turning the territory under his feet into a Great Thousand Worlds that could grow infinitely.

Moreover, he was the sole master of this Great Thousand Worlds, possessing absolute control.

To be honest, the value of this trait was even greater than that of the "Indestructible Body of Ten Thousand Calamities".

The "Indestructible Body of Ten Thousand Calamities" protected him personally, a form of individual immortality.

But the "Lord of the Infinite Great Thousand Worlds" protected his Foundation, his base camp, and the habitat for all the living beings under his command.

With this, the Supreme Creation Small Luo Grotto-Heaven was no longer just a simple Grotto-Heaven world, but a complete world system that could expand infinitely and be self-sufficient.

Gu Yan could even imagine that one day in the future, the scale of this Infinite Great Thousand Worlds would far exceed the Immortal Realm and the Saint Realm, becoming the true center of the All Heavens and Myriad Worlds.

Of course, that was a long time in the future.

The priority now was to use the trait first.

Gu Yan's mood completely calmed down, and looking at the "Infinite Great Thousand Worlds · Red" trait, he no longer hesitated.

With a thought, the trait was activated.

Although the Supreme Creation Small Luo Grotto-Heaven was named Xiaoluo, since it had absorbed over a thousand Middle Thousand Worlds below the Immortal Realm, its vastness was no less than that of the Immortal Realm, a Great Thousand Worlds.

And now, this vast Grotto-Heaven world began to expand crazily outward.

And it was expanding at a geometric rate.

At the original edge of the Grotto-Heaven, new Heaven and Earth were born out of thin air in the Void Realm.

Clouds churned, mountains and rivers took shape, rivers surged, and vegetation grew.

Everything was completed in an instant.

A layer of Void Realm was generated, and within it, a Great Thousand Worlds was born.

Beneath the Great Thousand Worlds, three thousand Middle Thousand Worlds took shape.

Beneath each Middle Thousand Worlds, there were three thousand Minor Thousand Worlds layered and nested.

This was not the end.

After the first layer of Void Realm stabilized, the second layer of Void Realm began to derive.

The same Great Thousand, Middle Thousand, and Minor Thousand, the same layered nesting, the same endlessness.

The third layer, the fourth layer, the fifth layer...

Each layer of the Void Realm was independent, yet they all belonged to the overall framework of the Supreme Creation Small Luo Grotto-Heaven.

The layers did not interfere with each other, yet they were closely connected through Gu Yan's will.

Gu Yan arrived outside the Hall of Longevity, overlooking all of this.

He could clearly perceive that the connection between himself and the world was undergoing a qualitative change.

Before, he was the master of the Grotto-Heaven, able to control everything within the Grotto-Heaven's Laws.

Now he was the Lord of the Infinite Great Thousand Worlds, controlling not just a single space, but a world system that was theoretically expanding infinitely.

With a single thought, he could open up a new world in a layer of the Void Realm.

With a single thought, he could also completely erase a world, along with its three thousand Middle Thousand Worlds and nine million Minor Thousand Worlds, returning them to nothingness.

This sense of control was more than a hundred times stronger than before.

At the same time, the living beings within the Supreme Creation Small Luo Grotto-Heaven world were all plunged into a peculiar state of Epiphany at this moment.

The Disciples of the Taiyi Dao Sect were Cultivating when they suddenly felt a mysterious aura surging between Heaven and Earth; with a flash of inspiration, many Bottlenecks that had troubled them for a long time broke in response.

The members of the Great Alliance of the Heavens and Universe, regardless of their cultivation level, felt a gift from the Origin of the world.

Their Cultivation Techniques accelerated, their minds became clear, as if someone was clearing away all the obstacles on their path of cultivation for them.

The races of the ten thousand demons and spirits, those birds, beasts, plants, and Essence Spirits, were also bathed in this aura.

Those with intelligence broke through their Realm, and those without intelligence gained intelligence, stumbling onto the path of cultivation in their confusion.

This was a bit of aura escaping from the sublimation of the world; although it was just scraps from the world's upgrade process, it was enough for everyone to benefit greatly.

Gu Yan did not deliberately give alms, nor did he actively bestow it.

This was purely a natural gift brought about by the world's upgrade, just like flowers naturally bloom when spring arrives, and the earth naturally becomes wet when rain falls.

He just didn't stop this aura from escaping.

Everyone had their own fate; how much Epiphany one could gain from this depended entirely on their own fortune.

However, this was not the end.

The more than one thousand Middle Thousand Worlds that Gu Yan had previously absorbed into the Supreme Creation Small Luo Grotto-Heaven, such as the Spirit Realm and the Xuanhuang Realm, had also undergone tremendous changes at this moment.

These worlds were originally only Middle Thousand Worlds with limited Laws.

But under the blessing of the Infinite Great Thousand Worlds system, they each sublimated from Middle Thousand Worlds into Great Thousand Worlds.

The territory of the worlds surged, the concentration of Spiritual Qi skyrocketed, and the three thousand Dao Laws tended to be complete.

The mountains and rivers of the Spirit Realm extended outward for an unknown number of thousands of miles.

The other Middle Thousand Worlds were the same, without exception.

Countless living beings already lived in these worlds, and at this moment, they were also enveloped by the aura of the world's sublimation, falling into an Epiphany.

Some broke through, some gained intelligence, some awakened their Bloodline, and some realized new Cultivation Techniques.

The entire Supreme Creation Small Luo Grotto-Heaven had transformed from a vast expanse of Heaven and Earth into a Great Thousand Worlds cluster in the true sense.

And as the world system stabilized, deeper changes continued to occur.

The characteristics of the Infinite Great Thousand Worlds determined that it would not stop there.

Every layer of the Void Realm was continuously deriving new Heaven and Earth, and each new Heaven and Earth was continuously gestating new possibilities.

The number of Great Thousand Worlds continued to increase, and Middle Thousand Worlds and Minor Thousand Worlds emerged like stars.

Most of these newborn worlds were desolate at first, with no living beings, no civilization, and only the most basic Laws of Heaven and Earth and natural landscapes.

But as time passed, the ten thousand spirit races began to be born in these worlds.

Essence Spirits were gestated in the mountains and rivers, Spirit Beasts condensed in the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and various strange living beings were born at the intersection of the Five Elements.

Naturally, there was no lack of the Human Race among them.

However, these Human Races did not jump out of cracks in stones, nor did they migrate from other places.

They were the initial Human Race, in their most primitive form.

No civilization, no Legacy, not knowing what cultivation was, not knowing how big Heaven and Earth were.

Hungry when eating, sleepy when sleeping, muddled, no different from wild beasts.

However, with the world newly opened, how was the Human Race born?

This was simple to say.

Gu Yan used his own will as a guide, based on the myth of Nüwa creating humans, and with a single thought, mud transformed into form, essence and Qi were injected, and the first batch of the Human Race stood up from the earth.

To say it was molding humans from mud was not entirely accurate.

Gu Yan just had such a thought, feeling that the Human Race should look like this.

Then the power of creation between Heaven and Earth operated on its own, shaping according to his will.

After all, he was the Lord of the Infinite Great Thousand Worlds; one thought evolving all things was not an exaggeration, but a literal meaning.

He wanted the Human Race to appear, and the Human Race would appear.

He wanted the Human Race to look like something, and they would look like that.

He didn't need to knead the mud himself, nor did he need to blow air into them one by one.

The world's own power of creation would complete all of this for him, and it would complete it even more delicately than if he had done it himself.

These newborn Human Races were scattered in various newborn worlds, not many in number, scattered, separated by mountains and rivers, and even by different world layers.

They knew nothing.

They didn't know why they were born, where they came from, who opened up this Heaven and Earth, or even that there was such a thing as cultivation in this world.

They were just living, relying on instinct to survive in this vast Heaven and Earth.

Gu Yan looked at these muddled Human Races and didn't feel anything was wrong.

Everything is difficult at the beginning; whether it was civilization or cultivation, it had to be done step by step.

Therefore, the matter of education could be handed over to those who wanted to accumulate virtue in the future.

...

Saint Realm.

Deep in a certain sea of clouds, there was a towering palace named Yuanshi Palace.

Sitting in the palace was a person with the Dao name "Opening Heaven Hunyuan Wuji Supreme Saint · Yu Tianzun", who was the leader of the Yuan Sect, a Hunyuan Daluo Saint.

At this moment, he slowly opened his eyes, his brows slightly furrowed.

Far to the east, there was an immortal island hanging over an endless ocean, named Qingjing Island.

An old man sat cross-legged on the island, with the Dao name "Taishang Wuji Supreme Saint · Xuanyuan Tianzun", who was the leader of the Tong Sect, also a Hunyuan Daluo Saint.

The whisk in his hand paused slightly, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Western Paradise, Great Leiyin Temple.

Two Buddhas opened their eyes at the same time, and they looked at each other, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.

Deep in a certain valley in the south, there was an ancient palace named Creation Palace.

A woman sat in the palace with a compassionate face, her Dao name was "Creation Supreme Saint · Linghua Yuanjun", who was also a Hunyuan Daluo Saint.

She was deducing the Dao of Creation when her heart suddenly moved, and she vaguely perceived a strange fluctuation.

The fluctuation faintly echoed with the Dao she was cultivating, but it was completely different, seemingly similar yet not, indescribable and unclear.

In the vast mountains in the north, there was another inconspicuous Immortal Cave, the owner of which had the Dao name "Hunyuan Supreme Saint · Taichu Old Ancestor", who was the most mysterious of the six Hunyuan Daluo Saints.

He also opened his eyes.

The six Hunyuan Daluo Saints, who lived in six different places in the Saint Realm, perceived the same thing at the same time.

A mysterious and inexplicable fluctuation came from nowhere and disappeared in a flash.

The level of that fluctuation was extremely high, so high that even they could not ignore it.

It was as if at this moment, an extraordinary existence had been born.

But they didn't know where it came from or why it started.

Yu Tianzun pinched his fingers to deduce, but it was all Chaos.

Xuanyuan Tianzun closed his eyes to sense, but the heavenly secrets were hard to find.

The two Buddhas used the Buddhist Supernatural Ability of Fate to trace it, but the Karma was broken.

Linghua Yuanjun used the Dao of Creation to guide it, but there was no response.

Taichu Old Ancestor did deduce something, but the result was so vague that it was no different from deducing nothing.

The six Saints pondered for a moment, then each withdrew their minds.

The fluctuation came quickly and went quickly, and all traces were wiped clean along with it.
