Awakener's panel = cosmic shackles?!

Outside Azure Planet.

Deep in the starry sky.

Fengdi Platform...

It took Xia Qingyan more than ten seconds to recover.

She frowned, clearly in a very complex mood at the moment.

"Above the Great Emperor Realm... there truly are other Realms..."

"The eleventh Realm... it really is the Chaos Realm!!!"

The eleventh Realm... Chaos Realm!!!

After saying "Chaos Realm," a sharp glint suddenly shot from her eyes.

Even... her Qi became unstable!

It fluctuated up and down, constantly shifting.

Su Bai, seeing this, felt somewhat speechless and a little confused.

This is unbelievable!

It's just the Chaos Realm, isn't it?

Why such a big reaction?

Logically speaking... she should have known when he gave Xia Qingyan the Immortal Peach and projected the System lottery wheel into Xia Qingyan's Sea of Consciousness—

Items above SSS-Rank Dao tools are Chaos Level!

So—

Correspondingly, above the Great Emperor Realm, it should be the Chaos Realm!

What's so strange about that?

Su Bai frowned and couldn't help but ask,

"Yan Yan, your reaction... isn't it a bit much?"

Hearing this, Xia Qingyan immediately glared at him:

"What do you know?! Do you know that..."

As she spoke, she suddenly fell into a reverie.

In her memory, she was in a desolate ruin.

At that time, she had just attained the Great Emperor Realm not long ago.

And the moment she became a Great Emperor, she had a feeling—

The Great Emperor Realm is not the pinnacle of an Awakened One's Cultivation!

Above the Great Emperor Realm, there must be an even higher Realm!

However, she and the other Great Emperors had no proof.

They... were all trapped in the Great Emperor Realm.

Hundreds, even thousands of years passed without any progress.

Their Rank... remained stuck at Rank 1000.

They were always unable to Breakthrough the shackles and reach Rank 1001.

Therefore, although the Human Race Great Emperors seemed to vary in strength, in reality, their Ranks were all the same!

All of them were only Rank 1000.

The strength of their power... actually depended on two factors—

1. The strength of the Law they themselves comprehended.

2. The completeness of their comprehension of the Law.

She remembered, on that planet, she encountered a strange race.

Strange race... a very, very strange race.

Their race called themselves—[Sky Leak Race]!

Sky Leak... a very strange race name.

But the meaning expressed was very simple and clear—

...previous life.

In her memory.

Tianhua Galaxy.

Unknown Planet.

Sky Leak Race.

That year, Xia Qingyan, who had just attained the Dao and become the [Ice Phoenix Empress], felt lost about her path after becoming an Empress, so she came alone to a small planet in the Tianhua Galaxy with almost no living beings.

This planet... was very desolate compared to Azure Planet.

There were almost no living beings.

All around was a deathly silence, with only sand and wind howling in her ears.

It perfectly matched her state of mind at the time.

In her previous life, she stood alone on a solitary mountain, her gaze coldly sweeping over that unfamiliar land, yet a faint premonition stirred within her—she felt that perhaps, here, lay the opportunity for her to Breakthrough the Great Emperor Realm.

There, she had once met a lean man.

The man was very strange; he was clearly a humanoid creature, yet... his skin had a very peculiar grayish-white color.

It was bloodless, yet like a woman's, it seemed delicate and flawless.

It made her... even a little envious.

Because—

That man actually had no capillaries!

His entire body... was a closed System.

It was like... a two-dimensional, poreless anime character... a naturally "leak-free body"!

What surprised Xia Qingyan the most was that she—

Couldn't see through the other party's Realm at all!!!

After some conversation—

The man told her that he was a member of the Sky Leak Race!

His name was—[Wukarena Daolun Fengshaotian]!

He was usually abbreviated by people as—"Wutian"!

According to "Wutian"—

Their Sky Leak Race naturally does not have an awakener panel!

It's as if... they were specifically overlooked by this Universe.

In their eyes, the awakener panel is a kind of shackles!

It is the shackles of this Universe... upon all living beings within it!

And only living beings who have broken through these shackles are qualified to—truly [Awaken] and step into the Chaos Realm above the God Realm!

Only then is it possible to—truly [Awaken]!

In the eyes of their Sky Leak Race, those living beings with awakener panels, because they can kill special creatures to gain "experience," find Cultivation very convenient, and their leveling speed is faster.

However, they are also bound by the rules of the panel.

Rank, skills, and even attributes are all defined by the panel.

This almost... extinguished their hope of entering the Chaos Realm.

As for their Sky Leak Race... because they naturally do not have an awakener panel, their Cultivation method is very different from other races in the Universe; they... can directly comprehend the Law of Heaven and Earth from the day they are born!

They can directly comprehend—the Power of Law!!!

Understood from another perspective, that is—

Natural Demigods!

Xia Qingyan remembered—

At that time, "Wutian" had taken out a ball of light.

That ball of light was called by them—[Source of Chaos]!

It's just a pity... even if the Sky Leak Race is very special... without the shackles of the awakener panel... they still need to Break through their own limits.

Therefore, no one in their clan has successfully Broken through the God Realm.

So, no strong individuals in the Chaos Realm have appeared either.

The Chaos Realm... is truly too difficult!

It seems... this Universe... instinctively does not want strong individuals of this Rank to appear... End of memory.

Xia Qingyan's gaze refocused on Su Bai.

At this moment, the shock she had earlier was gone from her eyes.

Replaced by an incredibly profound calmness.

She gently parted her red lips and whispered,

"Su Bai, do you know?"

"The awakener panel... is actually a kind of shackles!"

Su Bai was stunned, clearly not understanding her meaning:

"Uh? Shackles? Yan Yan... what do you mean by that?"

Xia Qingyan smiled slightly, looking up into the depths of the starry sky.

She seemed to look through layers of space, towards the Tianhua Galaxy.

"Shackles... are naturally shackles!"

"It is said... with this awakener panel..."

"We... will never reach the Chaos Realm!"

"Don't you think... it... is very powerful?"
