《Consuming Earths, Devouring Skies 》Chapter 244: Mysteries Unveiled
Advertisement
Yan Zaizen looked at his surroundings and felt relieved that the spatial void tunnel still existed. He wasn't sure how long he's been in this tunnel and hoped he wouldn't be lost somehow.
He calculated his location with his laws and discovered the exit. With a step, he soared through the spatial void. He wasn't traveling as fast as he could, but slowly was pondering on the events earlier.
"From the development of my False Grand Dao, I figured out a few things." With flickering eyes, he recalled the appearance of his Law of Mimicry, the Swirling Black Hole, and Kingly Crown.
"One's bloodline is connected to the ancestral birth of their soul, body, and essence. This determines race and species, but my bloodline was only the Law of Mimicry. However, later...it became the black holes." As he deduced, he felt that the misty world was slowly growing clearer.
"The black hole is not connected to my soul, body, or essence, but my existence. No, more specifically, my True Origin! It wouldn't be suitable to say it is my True Origin, it would be more accurate to describe it as being conjoined with it. After being triggered a few times, it slowly developed into my bloodline...which makes sense, the black hole is quite invasive and already has a protective seal on my soul."
"However! The Kingly existence that shattered the heavenly gate is the same! But...different...it seems to be protecting me from myself." As he thought of this, he felt a deep sadness in his heart for some reason. He recalled the scene when he underwent Existential Slumber. A light called him and he followed, but the kingly existence severed the connection. Later...it spoke to the black hole from above.
It was obviously protecting him at that moment, but Yan Zaizen didn't know from what. However, he felt that the soul bleeding events weren't soul bleeding! It was more like existential bleeding. This was why he felt like those memories were truly his own memories.
If he had to factor a guess, multiple existences, including the Kingly existence and black hole, was residing in his True Origin. It may just be those two, but he wasn't exactly sure.

After a little more pondering, he felt confused. "I'm a non-entity, born without a soul and without mortal taint, but...if I was an artificial soul, why are there different existences within me? How come I've never known?" His first exposure of…
As he thought about it, he felt like there was a connection he missed. When his black hole protective seal activated in the Serene Moon Cove, he experienced a memory soon afterward. Every time his black hole seal activated, he would experience a slight rush of memories, except for the first time.
Then, his soul transformed. Firstly, when he experienced chaotic space, the black hole integrated into his soul after the Deep Mines. Could it be that his laws of life and death and Herculean Physique didn't keep him alive alone in chaotic space? Did the black hole devour chaotic space as well?
He couldn't remember. However, when the sub-realm collapsed and it helped him, it also integrated into his soul even further, becoming a full soul bloodline!
Taking a deep breath, he felt a few incidents now made sense.
"Even if I know this, I have no idea how, why, or who created me and left me in the Xiantu Realm." He sighed. He had just unveiled a few mysteries, but the core pieces still eluded him. The only thing he could be sure of was that he wasn't a reincarnation. If he was, his soul would've been a true soul and he'd have been tainted by the mortal dust of Samsara.
"I feel like I'm missing something important!" Rubbing his temples, he felt tired. Despite learning all this, it wouldn't do him any good. He even felt vexed that he misused the Origin Source True Egg. If he could find his True Origin, wouldn't all these questions be easily answered?
He continued traveling towards the end of the spatial tunnel in the midst of thinking. It didn't take long before he saw a vortex at the other end. He sped up, penetrating through the vortex and exiting the spatial void. The exit closed behind him.
As he arrived, he analyzed his surroundings.

"This!!" His eyes widened in intense shock. "This isn't the Sirius Titan Realm!"
The world before him was completely different. There was a yellow sun at its center, and nine planets orbiting it. The planets had varying number of moons and had unique environments on each one. He looked at the last planet furthest from the sun and felt odd. It was a frozen habitat that was incredibly small in comparison to other planets.
The stars above seemed to flow seamlessly above like a sea and looked unimaginably beautiful.
"Was this even considered a planet?" As he was lost in his thoughts, a soul transmission entered his mind. This soul transmission contained a grandness that Yan Zaizen found slightly startling. It was deep and seemed to originate from above.
"Young man, may I ask why you are within my domain?" The voice asked, but the person didn't reveal himself.
Yan Zaizen's gaze flickered as he looked about. This soul transmission was profound and powerful, it likely originated from someone who was beyond the Astral Soul Realm. This caused him to be cautious. He sent out his soul transmission.
"I entered a spatial tunnel and lost my way. Sir, do you know where I am?" He didn't contain disrespect, but his respect wasn't high either.
"I see, young man." The voice replied slowly. It seemed to be contemplating the truth of Yan Zaizen's words or other matters. However, after a while, it continued, "You have stumbled into the Milky Way Realm."
Yan Zaizen furrowed his brows. Milky Way Realm? He had done some research into realms before, and there may be many, but he recalled all the strong ones. If this man's soul cultivation was higher than his own, then this realm would've been known.
Witnessing Yan Zaizen's confusion, the voice inquired, "May I ask if you originate from the 27th Heaven?"
Yan Zaizen felt his heart tremble as a faint possibility emerged in his thoughts. "Is this not be the 27th Heaven?" He asked, waiting on the answer with bated breath.
"This is the 7th Heaven, young man." These words caused Yan Zaizen's heart to drop from the sky with a splat at the end. How did this happen?!
Just as he was wondering the possibilities, a white glow suffused with a soul-soothing aura shimmered in front of Yan Zaizen. This figure was dressed in white, with a white robe without a single stain, a grand white beard, and skin like flowing water.
His eyes seemed to contain all things divine and watched the myriad lives in the world. He felt a stifling pressure and his soul radiated an urge to kneel in worship. This sensation was quite similar to what he felt from Wang Li during the trial. However, a flash of amber-gold fluctuated within his soul form and the sensation dissipated like dust in the wind.
The man had a benevolent smile suffused with no ill-intentions. "It's been a while since someone used the inter-heaven spatial formation."
Inter-heaven spatial formation? What the hell?! Did the Heavenly Monarch send him here on purpose? Such bullshit! He felt furious but kept his composure. Calmly, he asked, "How do I get back?" This was the only thing that mattered.
"You can't. At least, not for another thirty-three thousand years."
"..." Yan Zaizen was about to flip his lid, "Why?!"
The man in white didn't seem to be bothered by Yan Zaizen's frustration, slowly explaining, "the inter-heaven formation is a natural formation created along with the heavens. It interconnects heavens together, and requires thirty-three thousand years to recharge between uses."
"...Any other formation currently active?" He asked with hopeful eyes.
"There's only one that goes from the 7th Heaven to the 27th Heaven, this one." The man ruthlessly crushed his hopes with a decisive blow.
"...So I have to just wait...here?"
"If you wish."
"Goddamnit!" He thunderously roared with deep frustration in his eyes. Why did shit like this happen to him?!
