1421 Only One Billion Years Left!

“A solution?”

Supremacy Vicissitude shook his head, but then, a smile appeared on his face. He said slowly, “Of course there’s no way to stop the Epochal Cataclysm. However, the operation of order in the world will always give people a glimpse of hope of living. It’s the same for the Epochal Cataclysm. The Epochal Cataclysm is both a crisis and an opportunity.

“When the Epochal Cataclysm arrives, the small chiliocosm origin will appear. Normally, the small chiliocosm origin would not appear. Even the great Chiliocosm Sovereigns cannot find the small chiliocosm origin. Only the moment the Epochal Cataclysm arrives will the small chiliocosm origin appear. Nine Epochal Cataclysms mean that the origin will appear nine times. In particular, the last Epochal Cataclysm contains almost all the remaining origin in the small chiliocosm. If one can obtain it, be it a Chiliocosm Sovereign or a Controller, they will obtain huge benefits.”

“Oh? Is it possible to become a Chiliocosm Sovereign?”

Lin Feng felt that once he became a Chiliocosm Sovereign, he would definitely be able to withstand the Epochal Cataclysm. Even if the small chiliocosm was destroyed, the Chiliocosm Sovereign would still be safe and sound. Otherwise, the Chiliocosm Sovereigns wouldn’t be so transcendent, regarded as the ultimate goal of cultivation by countless Controllers.

“Uh…”

Supremacy Vicissitude’s expression froze. Then, he shook his head and smiled weakly. “How is it possible to become a Chiliocosm Sovereign? Even 10,000 small chiliocosms might not give rise to a single Chiliocosm Sovereign. It’s truly one in a million. How can a mere small chiliocosm origin make one a Chiliocosm Sovereign in a single leap? I’m talking about obtaining the small chiliocosm origin in the Epochal Cataclysm. Even if it’s only a portion, it can be used to trade with the great Chiliocosm Sovereign, in exchange of opening the descension passage, and fetching the Controller to the medium chiliocosm. Once one enters the medium chiliocosm, there will no longer be the threat of the Epochal Cataclysms.”

“I see…”

Lin Feng nodded as well. That was more like it. If a portion of the small chiliocosm origin could create a Chiliocosm Sovereign, a Chiliocosm Sovereign would be too cheap.

On the other hand, trading with the Chiliocosm Sovereign for the opportunity to enter the medium chiliocosm was indeed a solution.

However, the success rate of this method was also very, very low. Firstly, one had to withstand the Epochal Cataclysm. Then, he had to pull the chestnuts out of the fire in the Epochal Cataclysm, and obtain the small chiliocosm origin.

Without the strength of a Three-star Supremacy, there was no need to even think about it. Hence, although this seemed like a “solution”, in reality, with Lin Feng’s current strength, he was not even qualified to withstand the Epochal Cataclysm.

How could he pull the chestnuts out of the fire and obtain the small chiliocosm origin?

“Other than this method, is there any other way to enter the medium chiliocosm?”

Lin Feng still felt that this method was too dangerous, and the hope was extremely slim.

“No. Only the great Chiliocosm Sovereign can open the barrier of the small chiliocosm. As for the others, even peak Three-star Supremacies can’t do anything. This is also the fundamental reason why the Chiliocosm Sovereign can transcend worldly affairs and be high and mighty. If you don’t become a Chiliocosm Sovereign, you will always be trapped in the small chiliocosm.”

Supremacy Vicissitude shook his head. He had ascended step by step from a small chiliocosm. Moreover, by chance, in the end, after experiencing countless obstacles, the Chiliocosm Sovereign of the Opulent Lodge appreciated his talent, and brought him directly to the medium chiliocosm.

This was the fortune of Supremacy Vicissitude. As for others, unless they were lucky enough to reincarnate and be born directly in the medium chiliocosm, even a Three-star Supremacy would be trapped to death in a small chiliocosm.

Of course, ordinary Three-star Supremacies were still very valuable. If they announced their loyalty to the Chiliocosm Sovereign, there was still a chance that the Chiliocosm Sovereign would appreciate their talent and bring them along to the medium chiliocosm.

However, in that case, they might have to fight in the small chiliocosms for the Chiliocosm Sovereign for the rest of their lives, and never be able to obtain freedom.

Actually, Supremacy Vicissitude had long had enough of such a life. Day after day, year after year, he was like a machine, constantly fighting for the Chiliocosm Sovereign, and had never experienced freedom.

Only now did Supremacy Vicissitude realize how precious freedom was. However, it was only because he had an agreement with the Chiliocosm Sovereign back then that he was brought to the medium chiliocosm. All these years, he had fought for the Chiliocosm Sovereign in many small chiliocosms, risking his life to do so. He felt that he had already repaid the Chiliocosm Sovereign’s favor. However, he still could not break away from the Chiliocosm Sovereign and obtain true freedom.

But now, Supremacy Vicissitude saw an opportunity, an opportunity for true freedom.

This Lin Feng in front of him was his opportunity!

This was why Supremacy Vicissitude was so “cooperative”, and even took the initiative to reveal some secrets of the medium chiliocosm.

“Dark Domain Supremacy, actually, you don’t have to worry. Anything is possible. Moreover, there’s still a long time before the Epochal Cataclysm. There’s still about a billion years left. His Majesty the Chiliocosm Sovereign of the Opulent Lodge is only making preparations in this small chiliocosm. When the true Epochal Cataclysm arrives, the ones who will descend from the Opulent Lodge won’t be mere Two-star Supremacies like us, but powerful Supremacies above the level of peak Two-star entities! Only such powerful Supremacies can possibly obtain enough small chiliocosm origin for His Majesty the Chiliocosm Sovereign in the Epochal Cataclysm.”

Supremacy Vicissitude actually “comforted” Lin Feng.

“A billion years? There’s indeed still a very long time.”

Lin Feng relaxed a little. How many years had he cultivated until now? Excluding the acceleration of time, it would be far less than 100 million years at most, let alone a billion years. That was truly an incomparably long time.

However, to the Chiliocosm Sovereign, a billion years was just too short a time. Hence, since a billion years ago, the Chiliocosm Sovereign had begun to make arrangements. That was why the Opulent Lodge was established, and why Supremacy Vicissitude and the others had descended.

“All right, now tell me, why did you take the initiative to tell me all this? It probably wasn’t just to stay alive.”

After Lin Feng learned everything, he raised his head and stared at Supremacy Vicissitude with bright eyes. He did not believe that Supremacy Vicissitude would be so cooperative, and even took the initiative to tell Lin Feng things he had not asked for the sake of survival.

This was no longer something that could be explained by “survival”.

Supremacy Vicissitude looked meaningfully at Lin Feng, then took a deep breath. There was a trace of anticipation in his eyes as he said slowly, “That’s right. I’m not just trying to survive, but to break free from the Chiliocosm Sovereign of the Opulent Lodge and obtain true freedom! Dark Domain Supremacy, even you might not realize how much potential you have. If I’m not wrong, you must have transformed into a universe to become a Controller, right? You didn’t rely on the Boundary Stone to establish your internal world.”

“Huh? You can tell?”

Lin Feng was a little surprised. His transformation into a universe was a secret. Apart from when he took the initiative to reveal it, almost no one else had discovered it. He did not expect Supremacy Vicissitude to see through it.

“As expected, you really transformed into a universe. Then, there’s really a chance. A chance!”

Hearing Lin Feng admit it himself, Supremacy Vicissitude’s eyes lit up even more, and he became even more excited deep down. This was an opportunity, a huge opportunity, an opportunity for him to obtain freedom.

“So what if I transformed into a universe?”

Lin Feng frowned. Didn’t transforming into a universe just mean having more potential? But from Supremacy Vicissitude’s reaction, it did not seem to be that simple.

“Hahaha, you transformed into a universe. Dark Domain Supremacy, you don’t understand how much potential you have. Transforming into the universe is the true path of cultivation. As for us, all the Controllers who used the Boundary Stone to open up their internal worlds are just experimental subjects, and took the wrong path. Chiliocosm Sovereigns, Chiliocosm Sovereigns. Do you know that there are also two types of Chiliocosm Sovereigns? Even if Controllers who established their world with the Boundary Stone become Chiliocosm Sovereigns, they’d be pseudo Chiliocosm Sovereigns. Only Controllers who transformed into a universe and become Chiliocosm Sovereigns are true Chiliocosm Sovereigns!”

Supremacy Vicissitude threw his head back and laughed aloud. There was both excitement and a trace of sorrow in his laughter.
