Ascension

The whirlpool in both the clockwise and counterclockwise directions is like a meat grinding pool.

If a mortal animal falls down, the only result will be that it will be crushed into a pile of blood foam.

"Wow!"

Xu Xuan used his body as a vessel to carry everyone down into the sea.

At first, everyone couldn't figure out what was going on. They just felt that there were many obstacles below and the progress was slow.

After going a distance further down, the mysterious laws of space suddenly became invalid.

The group's moving speed suddenly dropped to almost the same as a snail's pace, giving people the feeling that they were trying to cross thousands of mountains on foot.

The bottomless feeling of powerlessness made the team atmosphere even more solemn.

"no……"

"Perhaps only true gods are qualified to dive into the bottom of this Four Seas God Pool. This old turtle can't do it... Ugh!"

The turtle suddenly shouted to stop, then fell sideways to the ground, foaming at the mouth.

After a while, it actually fainted.

Gua Gua tried to rescue it but found it was useless and could not reverse the negative condition of the giant turtle.

"I can't hold on any longer."

"Han Jun, we are not qualified to explore this place..."

Ye Yin covered his head, feeling dizzy and suddenly fell down on the carpet.

Yingyue, Kunjie, Zheyu, Yeliuying... and even Xuxuan who were standing by were all drowsy and their spirits were completely gone.

"I am completely unharmed..."

"The big tadpole isn't a crown, and it doesn't seem to be affected either... What's going on?"

Guagua jumped up and down, and walked around every living creature. He confirmed that most of them were just in coma, exhaustion, or weakness, and were not in danger of life, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Ye Hanjun didn't understand the principle behind it, so he could only guess:
"My 'coach', inherited from the Gate of First Awakening, was once a part of this place to some extent."

"So, I'm fine."

"And Goose Immortal, Huazhu, Juexian...are they not hindered because they are bound by a contract with me?"

"I don't know."

Guagua scratched his head and said in distress:

"Are we going to part ways here?"

"Being separated from us, we will lack the fighting power of the True God level. What if the polluted immortal god runs back..."

"Things have their priorities, just go ahead and don't worry."

Xu Xuan forced himself to hold on and interrupted:

"As we return upward, this inexplicable discomfort may subside."

"Besides, Zhe Yu and I are both demigods. If we can't defeat the evil god, escaping is always possible. Don't worry about us."

"Go...I'll wait for you to come back!"

Ye Liuying gasped and spoke incoherently:
"The ancestor was able to break into this place and bring out the inheritance. There must be secrets hidden here that all the races in the heavens don't know."

"If you can crack it, if you can get a chance from it, then the path to the double crown may be easy..."

"……Take care of yourself!"

Ye Hanjun jumped off the blanket and glanced at his companions with a determined look in his eyes.

"Rumble--"

The cross thunder sword was in sync with his mind, suspended under his feet, and he dived downwards with the sword.

Guagua is still standing on my shoulders.

In order to ensure the immediate response, He maintained His original body, and His astonishing weight slightly pressed on Ye Hanjun's internal organs.

Then... the world beside my ears was exceptionally quiet.

After a long time, Guagua broke the silence and whispered:
"There are no marine species, no aquatic plants, nothing is useful, it's empty..."

He was a little nervous.

The further I went, the more my chest started pounding and my body functions became disordered, even though there was no life-threatening crisis.

You know, He is the God of Purity, flawless and invulnerable to all kinds of attacks.

The laws here are so strange and terrifying that they can affect him.

"Gua Gua, do you have any special feelings?" Ye Hanjun suddenly asked.

"No, big tadpole, what's wrong?"

Guagua cast a curious and worried look and asked carefully.

"Down below, the calls are getting louder and louder..."

Ye Hanjun murmured, his tongue suddenly pressing against the roof of his mouth, and he remained silent.

Jian Lei Zi seemed to have sensed something as well and stopped moving. The purple-gold electric light expanded into a net, providing a 360-degree defense.

"This is?!"

Gua Gua’s eyes suddenly widened.

At the bottom of the vortex - light appeared!
That light was like the rising sun, the first ray of fire that dispelled the long night, the darkness retreated, and the light came.

It became brighter and brighter, and when it reached its peak, Ye Hanjun and Gua Gua both saw it—there were two doors, standing upright in the rocks, huge and enormous!

One of the doors is forged from gray stone and is surrounded by green grass and accompanied by misty fairy fog. It is a wonderful place on earth.

The other door has colorful front and ink-black back, surrounded by magma pillars.

When the stone pillar started to move, the boiling black and red magma was like the fire of purgatory from gods and demons. If one was contaminated by even a little bit of it, there would be no trace of corpse left and life would be lost.

"One is full of life, the other is gloomy and dull."

"Could this be the legendary Gate of Awakening and Gate of Death? Are there connecting passages at the bottom of the Four Seas God Pond at the entrances of the two gates?"

In the cold night, you can't help yourself.

As if by some strange coincidence, he activated the Dharmakaya world of the "Pioneer Leader".

Instantly, an ancient stone gate stood behind him. The vast, majestic, desolate and ancient aura made his human body look as small as dust.

"Boom——"

Above the deep and boundless sky, in the center where thousands of stars were circling, a gray sun appeared, wrapping around the stone gate, blending seamlessly with it.

At that time, meteors were speeding, stars were flashing, coolness seeped into the skin, but there was fire burning in the blood.

Ye Hanjun endured the strange feeling and took a closer look.

Three full moons and seven waning moons rotate around the body.

Further out, the twinkling stars seemed to correspond one by one to the believers in all the heavens and worlds.

"Hey!"

Without any warning, two dusty stone doors at the bottom of the Four Seas Divine Pool suddenly came alive.

The former breeds green buds, just like all things flourishing, and life hatches and grows in a flash.

The latter withers and dies, just like all living things. The death and dimness of life are common.

Then, an irresistible suction force came from that life gate.

Ye Hanjun was like a compressed ball of light, shooting out of it at the speed of a cannonball.

"Pfft!!"

The landing point is a soft ball, as light as cotton wool and full of elasticity.

Ye Hanjun, who had been in a coma for an unknown period of time, slowly woke up and his old memories gradually returned.

"Big tadpole..." Gua Gua rubbed his sleepy eyes and stood up, looking confused.

"Qiang!!"

The sword Lei Zi that fell to the ground suddenly flashed with lightning, leaped up, and was about to launch an attack.

However, He was suspended in mid-air, looking around. Because He could not sense any hostile life forms, the electric light converged into the sword body, and finally He silently flew back to Ye Hanjun's side, not daring to move away.

"It seems to have triggered some amazing changes..."

"Is this the interior of the Gate of First Awakening? Why is it so white and I can't see anything?"

Ye Hanjun's thoughts were jumping. Before he could communicate with Gua Gua, he suddenly saw the white fog dissipate, revealing a wide and bright ancient passage that went straight forward, and no one knew where it led to.

"Big tadpole, come and look, there are murals here, containing countless kinds of creatures!"

Relying on the fact that he was a pure god, Gua Gua took the initiative to lead the big tadpole.

But He broke into the passage, and within a second, He immediately pointed at the wall and exclaimed:

"Wow, this wall is so high, it stretches endlessly, there is no actual height at all..."

"There are so many strange spirits... Hey, why is this melon also carved on it? Who did this secretly? This is too creepy..."

Guagua was so excited that he shrank his neck and was stunned.

Ye Hanjun concentrated his attention. In his eyes, the wall was only three or five meters high and was not noticeable at all.

But if you observe carefully, as Gua Gua said, the wall is infinitely magnified.

Even in a palm-sized place, there are tens of thousands of creatures, running or flying in various postures.

"Wishing birds, beasts, fish, half-eyed pigs, phantom-tooth ants, embroidered turtles..."

"These seem to be species born in the new universe. Most of them are relatively weak, and only a few have shown their potential and stood out from the many competitors..."

Ye Hanjun raised his eyebrows and continued to look up.

He discovered a pattern: the closer the creatures were to the wall, the weaker they were in his opinion.

On the contrary, the closer to the top of the wall, the more ferocious the appearance of the spirit becomes, and the more terrifying its aura becomes.

"cracking--"

A huge bird, like a god from heaven, with fairy air wrapped around its feathers, purple light of primordial chaos floating on its chest, an extremely green body, a scarlet tail, and a sickle-like beak... Who else could it be but the bird that destroyed Meng?

"Jiejiejie——"

There is a one-arm rooted in a pool of blood, full of evil and ferocity. That familiar feeling, isn’t it the Butcher’s Arm?

"That's weird. Ordinary species are fine, but sacred beasts and divine beasts can also be branded..."

Ye Hanjun's gaze shifted slightly.

Sure enough, whether it was the Blue Sky Frog Ancestor corresponding to Guagua, the Sword-controlling Thunder God corresponding to Jian Leizi, or the Heavenly Dragon Ba corresponding to Muyi, they were all covered on the wall.

Even the True Lord of the Other Shore, who corresponds to Patriarch Chengfeng, is on the wall, and is at the highest position, with no one standing shoulder to shoulder with him.

"These creatures all have one thing in common: they all achieved enlightenment and became gods in the new universe."

“Even if some of them fall, will this wall still record them?”

Ye Hanjun pondered, his eyes focused on another human figure, his expression subtle.

In the portrait, a burly man holds a huge sickle in his hand, and on either side of him stands a walking corpse-like witch god... Is this the Father God, Ye Shitian? Will the crown of the human race also be remembered by the wall?

Secretly note this clue.

Ye Hanjun continued to pace forward, and when he passed a pillar, the style of the painting on the wall changed quietly.

The Bad Earth Emperor, the Bio-Mecha, the Spicy Goddess, the Filthy Demon God, the Filthy Demon Minister, the Eighteen-Winged Divine Angel, the Clown Emperor, the Hundred-Refined Phoenix Queen, the Hercules, the Yue Zun, the Green Radish Fairy, the Blood Witch God, the Black Basalt...

The crowns and deities that are still active at the moment, as well as the gods that have fallen for a long time, are like dragons fighting tigers, and it is very lively.

What they have in common is that they all attained enlightenment in recent times.

Most of the legends about them are now circulated among the people, and there are all kinds of them.

"Divide the locations according to different eras?"

"And the strongest people of each era are often near the top of the wall, showing their talents?"

Ye Hanjun seemed to be thinking about something and continued to move forward.

This section of the journey is obviously longer than the Cenozoic Era.

This is obviously because the Cenozoic Eon has not even ended two-tenths of its existence, while the Late Eon lasted a full 100,000 years and gave birth to countless species.

"Clap!"

After crossing the second stone pillar, Ye Hanjun arrived at the "Portrait of All Living Beings" that was suspected to be from the ancient times.

He looked up to see Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, Vermillion Bird, Titan God of War, Great Slaughter God, Shura Bow, Night Shura, Goddess Ba, Great Eclipse Troll King, Sun Charm Girl, Corpse Dragon Lady, Doomsday Cube, Merciful Ancestor, Earth Immortal...

In the glorious ancient universe, there were far more gods and crowns than in the recent ancient universe.

At least one-third of them are short-lived.

There are some that Ye Hanjun has never heard of at all. Perhaps after reaching the top of the world, they were killed by stronger people not long after, so that they have no presence in history books.

But it is undeniable that that era was wonderful.

Ye Hanjun stared at the goddess Ba at the highest point, and understood something in his heart.

If there were no harm from the Heavenly Dao, there would be only one creature recognized as the strongest by all the races in the heavens. He would be active from the ancient universe to the new universe, creating a glorious and prosperous era that belongs only to him and would be immortal for thousands of years.

"Unfortunately, fate is unfortunate..."

"Although the goddess Ba now stands tall in the heavens, she also shoulders the mission of saving the world and is no longer as high-spirited as before..."

Ye Hanjun shook his head, hiding his expectant eyes, took a step forward and continued forward.

There is still a wall ahead!

Crossing the iconic stone pillar, the portraits of all living beings in ancient times were all there, without a single one missing!

Ye Hanjun stopped and looked intoxicated.

Heaven Punishment Yuan Zun, Heaven Punishment Divine Spear, Heaven Wrath Orc, Heavenly Blame Fairy, Heavenly Destiny Star Pillar, Heavenly Order Insect King, Heavenly Hong Divine Wings, Heavenly Soul Witch King, Heavenly Fighting Demon Zun, Drum of Time, Fallen Eye, Catastrophe Crow Lord...

Even if we exclude the nine great celestial masters and the three evil gods.

The true gods born in the Archaic Universe - ancient, recent, and new - even if the three universes are doubled together, there is still a huge gap in number!

What Ye Hanjun could recognize was only a small part including the pattern of the golden wine cup.

For the rest, he could only admire them, and based on their strange body structure and surging momentum, guess their racial classification and individual strengths during their lifetime.

It’s too shocking!

If only he could be born in that era, in a universe without constraints, and compete with so many powerful people.

Can he continue to reach the height he is today?
If the human race could produce the strongest double-crown person in the ancient times, who could rule over and check the way of heaven, would all the heavens and worlds still be on the verge of destruction like they are now?
Ye Hanjun tapped his forehead and suppressed his chaotic thoughts.

The passage is not yet complete.

Since Taigu's portrait has been displayed in front of him.

In the underworld, which is more mysterious and terrifying than the ancient times, how splendid and colorful are those rulers who would rather transcend than stay in the lower world?

Ye Hanjun pursed his lips and walked slowly.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but the wall in front seems different from the previous one.

When he stepped over the stone pillar, Ye Hanjun was stunned.

The walls of Hades are... so blurry.

Whether it is the common species near the wall or the rulers near the ceiling, the shapes are distorted and the colors are chaotic.

It was as if the pattern had just been drawn and then was wiped away forcefully, so that it had no charm at all and no true heroic appearance was retained.

"Although I can't see it clearly, the ecology of the Hades... why does it feel like it's completely different from the Archaic Era? It's even worse than the development of the Cenozoic Era over 10,000 years ago?"

"There are also too few powerful people who have reached the divine realm. There are only about thirty in a hundred thousand years. This is too strange..." (End of this chapter)
