186: Chapter 186 When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.

The messenger spoke: "The reason I have brought you all here is for you to comprehend the Legacy left behind by Lord Liantian."

As soon as these words were spoken, they caused a huge uproar.

"Us, comprehending the methods of a God King? Is that even possible?"

The messenger continued: "His Lordship once said that he left behind seeds to protect all living beings from above, and those of later generations may come to comprehend them at any time."

"However, being able to comprehend is one thing, but whether you can fully grasp it and completely obtain the Legacy is another matter entirely. Whether you can take the precious cauldron away depends on your own fortune."

"The Legacy... it's actually made public directly, without choosing a personal successor?" Chen Xing was surprised.

"Our King is selfless. Ever since he attained the Dao, he has traveled everywhere, and now he even sits above us, watching over everything here," the messenger said, the fervor and worship in his eyes impossible to hide.

"He is above us?!" Everyone was shocked and looked up, but they could see nothing.

"The world is vast; there are some things that one cannot see without a certain level of cultivation in the Dao," the messenger shook his head.

"For example, a Mortal with no cultivation finds it hard to see Spiritual Qi, but an Ability User can not only see it but also absorb and Cultivate it. That is the gap."

Hearing this, everyone felt a wave of disappointment. Could they really not see the True King himself?

But this also made many realize that they were currently being watched by a supreme powerhouse.

Thinking of this, they immediately straightened their posture and paid attention to all their words and actions.

However, those veteran exchange students appeared much more natural, as it was, after all, not their first time here.

"Alright, before you comprehend the Legacy, there is one more thing you must do," the messenger spoke again.

"Having reached this point, I believe you all know how much help a good cultivation environment can bring."

"The reason I didn't rush to take you to other Universes is precisely because of this; you need to utilize the Laws of the Universe Sea to strengthen yourselves."

Chen Xing's heart stirred. This reminded him of when he first completed his Ascension from the Lower Realm; because the environment was stronger, he could also become stronger.

A good environment can raise a person's ceiling.

Although resources in other Universes are more concentrated, no matter what, they cannot compare to the Laws of this Universe Sea.

Everyone understood the importance of this, so they immediately found an unoccupied spot to sit down and make up for the weaknesses in their Laws.

"Shall we set up a Formation?" Su He asked.

"I'm fine with whatever," Chu Zhen nodded.

"Since we're already here, let's set up a Formation together," Chen Xing said, waving at Tang Daoling and the others in the distance.

"Water Ghost, are you coming?"

"We've already formed a team. You three go ahead; I won't join you," Tang Daoling shook his head.

Having been called that so many times, he had gotten used to the nickname. Water Ghost it is.

He turned his head and went to another open space with Xu Mingqing, Gu Qingyun, and a few friends he knew.

Chen Xing scratched his head. Wouldn't it be more effective if more people set up the Formation together? Why did it have to be three people?

"This place is nice. Where do you think is good?" Su He looked around and found areas with vegetation, gardens, and more.

It wasn't just mechanical, dreamlike technology; there was a sense of life, which made it not seem so monotonous.

"Eh? There's a peach tree over there. It looks nice to me," Chen Xing pointed in one direction.

"By the way, you girls should like this kind of soft pink color, right?"

"You've even started studying this?"

"..."

Although there were many nice areas, conflicts were inevitable, and situations of fighting over territory would arise.

Approaching the peach tree grove, Chen Xing and the others found a tall peach tree that looked quite good.

Some people brought their brothers along to compete for it, but upon discovering who it was, they immediately stopped, turned around, and left, not daring to say a single word.

This was the importance of strength, and also the goal Chen Xing had once pursued.

He didn't even need to say anything; others could understand with just one look and would then retreat on their own.

"Hum!"

Under the peach tree, they set up a Spirit Gathering Formation, leaning against the edge of the platform, gazing at the beautiful Universe Sea.

Those Universe bubbles looked close to them, but in reality, even a Main God could not reach them in hundreds or tens of thousands of years.

As they watched, many people became lost in thought, forgetting their main business for a moment.

"Ahem!"

At this moment, the messenger coughed, waking everyone up as if by magic.

He was above, stepping on the Void Realm, looking down, and spoke.

"Pay attention, everyone. The power of the Laws of the Universe Sea is too strong; it will inadvertently cause people to fall into its trap and lose themselves in the beautiful scenery."

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a thunderbolt striking everyone's heart.

Just by taking a look, such a thing could happen?

"It's not just looking; even thinking about it won't do. Thinking about it in your mind will also cause problems. Unless you return to your own Universe, you will still be affected by the Laws of the Universe Sea."

Everyone gasped. Not only looking, but even thinking about these images in their minds was not allowed? That was too terrifying!

According to the messenger, the higher the cultivation, the stronger the resistance, but to completely resist this power, one needs to be at least a Main God or above.

Those who could serve as messengers for the True King here were undoubtedly Main Gods, but he had no airs, which was surprising.

"Still daring to look?" Su He saw Chen Xing couldn't help but turn his head again, so she stood up and stepped on his thigh.

"Just curious," Chen Xing turned his head back.

"How does that saying go? Not thinking, and thinking is also a sin. It seems we are about to be punished by the Origin of the Universe Sea," Chu Zhen closed her eyes and smiled faintly.

"That metaphor isn't quite right. Let me think, how does that saying go?" Chen Xing was lost in thought.

"Nietzsche once said, 'When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you'!" He looked solemn, grateful that in his past life, he had read a few extra books to get into a good university.

"When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you?" Hearing this, the two women were lost in thought, feeling it was very fitting.

If your strength is insufficient, yet you delusionally try to stare at the Laws of the Universe Sea, that is a provocation.

If your strength is sufficient, then it's not called a provocation; it's called communication or appreciation. The logic is just that simple.

"The words are good, but... who is Nietzsche?"

"Uh... a friend from my hometown, but he passed away a long time ago."

"Oh..."

Hearing this, the two women did not pursue the matter further.

Immediately, the three of them began to repair their Dao using the Spirit Gathering Formation.

This improvement would surely allow their strength to advance further.

"Brother System!"

With the call in his heart, that reassuring screen appeared again, and Chen Xing arrived in that vast, white space.

"Can..."

"Analyzing... Analysis complete. New combat scenario unlocked: Universe Sea."

Chen Xing was embarrassed. He hadn't finished speaking yet; as expected, the System's efficiency was too fast.

"Alright, let's begin." He sat cross-legged and Cultivated quietly.

...

Like this, three days later.

A spaceship from another place landed not far away, and one of the messengers immediately went forward to carry out the handover.

After some communication, they walked over.

"There is a new activity here. I wonder if you are interested?" the messenger said.
