How big is the universe?
The four directions above and below are called the universe, and the past and present are called the universe.
According to current knowledge, the radius of the visible universe is approximately 46.6 billion light-years.
The galaxies and nebulae inside are as vast as smoke and dust.
There are already countless planets the same size as the Earth.
That's a number chasing infinity.
At this moment, at the top of the dark and cold galaxy of the universe, an unknown place beyond the entire dimension of time and space.
Surrounded by countless layers of cosmic light fragments, an indescribable place faintly emerged.
Within it, there is a looming river that keeps moving forward with no end in sight.
The river was huge, with layers of waves and water droplets stirring up between its rapids. Those water droplets and waves actually contained countless worlds.
It accommodates countless universes, encompasses countless stars, and is the source of the origin of all living beings.
Its wide coverage and spread are unimaginable.
To him, the entire universe is as insignificant as a grain of sand in the endless galaxy.
This is a prison.
In the innermost layer of the prison, there is countless boiling power of void spreading.
With every breath, countless dimensions are created.
Fire dimension, thunder dimension, sword dimension...
As soon as these dimensions were born, they directly merged and exploded, and their power was continuously squeezed into the outer space, forming wisps of power that destroyed the world.
Those powers accompany the light of the universe and spread to countless universes below it.
Distances of trillions of light-years, trillions of light-years, passed by in an instant.
Endless, birth and death.
This is the most original power of this prison.
But at this moment, a young man in white was walking slowly on this thin film where countless universes and galaxies were born and destroyed.
He was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a hint of thoughtfulness on his face, as if he was wondering about something.
The next moment, his eyes looked straight at the roaring river of time beneath him.
"Boom boom boom!"
As soon as his eyes fell, he didn't see how the surrounding void was changing, but he saw that the thin film that was constantly creating and destroying dimensions stopped surging.
It seems as if there is a supreme will suppressing its birth and death.
And the river of time under his feet, which represented the entire prison, boiled instantly.
"...Duan Zhen?"
The boy in white clothes spoke doubtfully, his eyes looking straight into the upper reaches of the long river, going upstream.
"Boom boom boom!"
The power of time instantly began to repel his gaze, but it couldn't stop it even a bit.
Every drop of the roaring and rushing water in the long river represents all the traces of each world from its birth to its destruction.
These traces began to burn continuously, and there was a sense of destruction of the infinite.
It was as if at this moment, the past, present, future, the endless world, and all sentient and merciless beings were working together to block his casual glance.
The void exploded into layers of chaotic airflow that destroyed the universe, and those dimensions that had just left the membrane immediately melted without even taking a breath.
The avenue of time itself begins to emerge!
The long river twisted and formed an uncertain circle, which began to slowly close.
Even if time itself is gone, it will still prevent the young man from returning to his roots.
"Origin, did you touch my past?"
When the young man in white saw this scene, his eyes suddenly sharpened.
Extremely tiny cracks immediately appeared in the void, and the membrane at the deepest level actually trembled slightly, as if it couldn't bear the young man's questions.
His voice was not loud, but it spread very far in that instant, faster and wider than the birth and death of dimensions that spanned trillions of light years in an instant.
Buzz!
As he asked, a consciousness suddenly came from the deepest and core inner space.
That consciousness is extremely obscure, but it seems to be the source of everything and the beginning of everything.
He roared slightly three times, and the young man in white began to frown.
"Who else can do it but you?"
He looked at the long river that completely formed a closed loop under him again, and moved his palms.
"Boom boom boom!"
As he released his power, a thought as vast as the sky suddenly descended and struck directly at the long river ring beneath him that was wrapped with traces of the endless world.
The galaxy is shattered, dimensions change, and the universe dies.
It was as if countless universes exploded at this moment, surging layer by layer with extremely destructive power.
The circle formed by the long river of time finally could not stop this original power from the deepest and most extreme place, and it was instantly held in the hand of the young man in white.
Hold up the entire river of time with one hand!
"let me see…"
The young man in white's eyes condensed, and he looked along the depths of the closed loop of time.
A series of past events, a series of old friends, spanning hundreds of millions of years, meet again.
But the boy in white only remembered him a little in his heart, and no longer had any emotion.
The original consciousness in the prison has begun to merge with him, and he is about to become an origin that hangs on the top of all living things, all things and spirits.
He is ruthless in the extreme, and he will never come back to his former self.
"These things…"
The young man in white quickly saw the traces of his earliest days, when he was not yet successful.
"Duan Zhen? This person..."
An uncertain light flashed in his eyes, and after he observed those traces, they began to spread into his deepest memory.
He actually had two memories at this moment, and the new memory was more unforgettable, as if it happened not long ago.
Everything seemed to have just begun, and all the details were vividly visible.
It was as if he was truly following this memory, walking the same path again, meeting his old friends, and making up for his regrets.
Even his humanity, which had been affected by the origin of the prison and was about to lose its original intention, was brought back by this fresh outpouring of memories.
The entire space calmed down instantly, and the membrane in the depths began to continuously create and destroy the dimensions of creation again.
After an unknown amount of time, which seemed to be tens of millions of reincarnation eras, and seemed to be an instant, the boy in white finally slowly opened his eyes.
He recalled the "old things" that had just happened, and finally a smile appeared on his face.
This is his original appearance.
"Thank you, Duan Zhen."
The young man in white spoke softly, threw the Time River ring in his hand, and projected it to the place where it initially surged.
Then, he looked at the origin of the prison far away in the deepest depths, and his mind suddenly lifted.
Vast and inclusive.
"I, Wang Chao, will definitely break you in this life!"
This booming sound actually echoed along the long river of time.
Even the huge world called Infinity, which is comparable to a small part of the original prison in the current world, has echoes.
"Wang Chao..."
A young man in the infinite world suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze swept across the infinite distance, and he saw the young man in white looking up to the sky and roaring, and his heart sank slightly.
…
"Ding! I've finished reading the story in this volume, and started to synchronize the world line, timeline, causal line, fate line, and story line..."
"Ding! Synchronization completed! Return immediately! Start synchronized reading experience..."
The hazy and unreal sound suddenly exploded in Duan Zhen's mind, and he was so excited that he opened his eyes instantly.
"I...I'm back?"
Duan Zhen took a deep breath. The feeling of dying was making him a little uncomfortable.
The next moment he felt something around him, and his eyebrows jumped immediately.
He stroked it gently and felt that his body had returned to what it was before entering the world of dragons and snakes.
At that time, I was only thirteen years old, a young man who was tortured by alien energy and unable to practice.
"The Book of the Heavens."
Duan Zhen calmed down, and his heart did not fluctuate much.
Dragon and Snake have been together for seven years, and his intentions are not in vain.
Even though the Book of the Heavens told him to start from scratch, he had no fear.
"Ding! The reading experience ends simultaneously!"
As soon as he finished asking, the hazy and illusory voice of the Book of Heavens sounded in his mind.
Almost the next moment, he saw an extremely illusory shadow stepping out of the haze and pouring into his body instantly.
"Um?"
Duan Zhen felt that as the shadow merged, his body felt an indescribable pain.
The physical pain was secondary, that kind of pain... as if something was permanently lost.
However, Duan Zhen remained silent. His character had been tempered to a very high level in the world of dragons and snakes, and he was no longer the ignorant and weak boy he was at the beginning.
He felt that he was still thirteen years old.
But deep in the dantian, there is a faint energy ball in the shape of an embryo, breathing in and out.
At this moment, he was almost blessed with a touch of thought.
"Dong-dong-dong-dong!"
An extremely powerful and strong heartbeat sounded instantly, and his body began to grow taller and taller, becoming like a twenty-three-year-old.
"I see."
Duan Zhen shook his hands, and a complex and mysterious seal suddenly appeared.
It turns out that he has indeed entered in his true form, but he has just jumped from the age of thirteen to sixteen, and then begins his journey to the world of dragons and snakes.
Did you lose three years of life out of thin air?
"Is there any deeper meaning?"
Duan Zhen asked about the Book of All Heavens in his mind, but the answer was that he did not have enough authority.
"Permissions..."
Duan Zhen shook his head. If the price of going to another world is only the loss of three years of life.
How many people will flock to it and become crazy about it?
He glanced in front of him, and saw that the pure white aura was still floating.
The long table was placed in front of me. On the table was a dark book about two inches thick.
"The sky sends murderous intentions, and the stars change their places. The earth sends murderous intentions, and dragons and snakes rise from the ground. Human beings send murderous intentions, and the world is turned upside down."
Duan Zhen turned to the first page and saw the end of the volume from the first word.
It records everything about him in the world of dragons and snakes in detail.
All experiences, all perspectives, are all centered on Him.
It's as if this story is written with him as the protagonist.
The picture flashed by like a movie, and the words continued to enter my mind.
The scene freezes in the last scene, where the young man crosses his legs and closes his eyes while the clear snow melts.
"Fetal breath..."
Duan Zhen felt a little lucky in his heart.
At that time, he fought a thousand moves with Wang Chao, the GOD leader, and exhausted all his strength, but in the end he could not enter the realm of seeing God and being immortal.
If your physical fitness has not kept up, it will naturally be difficult to continue.
But he just relied on his mental strength and fighting style to win one move from each of them.
Cross-realm retrograde attack on the gods, although the move is successful, the physical body is close to destruction.
He could only slightly expand the Fetal Breathing Technique and combine it with the movement of breath to maintain vitality.
That vitality could not last long, but he insisted on holding on.
And relying on the induction in his mind, he sensed where Tang Zichen was.
The last time the two met, Duan Zhen handed back the seal and Dharma and passed it on, thus ending the favor of the other party in transmitting the Dharma.
After the teaching, my mind was damaged again, and I finally couldn't control my energy and blood.
He immediately closed his eyes and crossed his legs, completely entering a state of deep fetal breath, condensing his life force to a point, and took a deep breath.
At that moment, the countdown to the return of the Book of Heavens began.
"Experience life and death again."
Duan Zhen didn't have too many thoughts. When he broke into the dark energy before, he walked between life and death. He didn't have much fear of death.
He sensed his physical body, and not long after he released his power, the signs of imminent death appeared again, and he could only hold on for another stick of incense.
With a thought, his strength immediately shrank and turned into a holy fetus.
The entire physical body returned to what it was like when it was thirteen years old.
"Absolutely wonderful."
Duan Zhen nodded. This scene meant that he had two bodies, both of which were real bodies.
"gone back!"
His heart sank, his eyes suddenly flickered, and he returned to the hut.
Empty, no one there.
The water in the tank shook slightly, and the frog he had trampled to death was still lying on the ground.
The water-dropping hourglass placed on the stove was still dripping water. The setting sun outside the window was shining, and it was not even dark yet.
"It hasn't been long..."
Duan Zhen glanced around the entire room, and the hourglass time showed that he had been away for six or seven years but had only spent less than a moment here.
"When you pass away, all bones and mortal bodies are as heavy as the weight of a human body, but after attaining the Tao, your body will be light and your body will be light as well."
Duan Zhen lifted the frog's body and put it in his palm, wondering what he was thinking.
