The Way of the Prehistoric World

I don’t know if this is the hundreds of breakthroughs.

Although I have been unable to break through hundreds of attempts before, it is not completely without gain.

After each failure, the liquid soul will become more viscous than before, which means that the soul is a small step closer to solidification.

If Mei Zihan hadn't been in a special space now, and what he was practicing was the "Tao Te Ching", he might have gone crazy.

Today's Yuanshen is so viscous that it is semi-solid and semi-liquid, and its size has grown to nearly three inches. It can be said that if "God" gives a little luck, the next breakthrough will be successful.

As he spoke, the soul began to solidify slowly from the ends of the limbs, and then moved towards the center of the body, gradually spreading to the entire toes. In the process, countless chaotic souls were absorbed by the soul.

The whole process is like molten metal starting to solidify again from the edges.

The curing process is extremely slow, but firm and continuous.

After the entire toe was completely cured, the curing process suddenly stopped as if it encountered a huge obstacle.

At the same time, a trace of pain appeared on Yuanshen's fuzzy little face, which should not have been there in the first place. It can be imagined that he must have suffered extraordinary pain.

As time went on, the pain continued to intensify. The expression on the Yuan Shen's little face was many times more intense than before. Even the entire Yuan Shen's body was trembling unexpectedly, as if he had experienced a great terror, a great disaster. pain.

When experiencing pain, the solidified planes of the Yuan Shen's limbs are also violently impacting forward, and each impact is accompanied by a continuous trembling of the Yuan Shen.

After another impact, the entire body of the soul shook violently, and the tight little face gradually relaxed, but the solidified plane finally broke through the barrier and continued to move towards the torso.

Although the subsequent solidification speed is even more subtle, it is also more determined. The scope of the solidification of the limbs is also quietly increasing, gradually crossing the wrists and ankles, and slowly crossing the elbows and knees.

After a long time, the four solidified planes stopped again when they reached the shoulders and hips respectively.

As the solidification plane stopped, Yuan Shen's face showed a far more painful expression than last time. The vague eyebrows on the face were frowned, the unobvious cheeks were also tense, and the still liquid teeth were also clenched. stand up.

At this time, the trembling intensity of the soul's body was far greater than before. Such violent trembling made people worry whether the entire soul would collapse as a result.

As time passed slowly, the trembling of the soul's body became more and more violent, but the unusually tight little face clearly showed that Mei Zihan still had not given up.

Under Mei Zihan's insistence, the solidified plane violently rushed towards the pass again and again. After each powerful impact, the entire body of the soul produced undue ripples, which took a long time to slowly subside.

After returning without success again and again, the pass at the end of the limbs at this moment is like an unreachable mountain, which makes people feel desperate.

Finally, after the last, all-out attack failed, Mei Zihan had to give up. After his soul calmed down, he slowly opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, his little face full of joy. It's helpless.

Countless failures brought him not only helplessness, but also deep unwillingness. Of course, he also understood that even unwillingness would not help.

As he reluctantly gave up, the entire solidified plane quickly retreated as if it was deflated. The limbs that had been solidified before quickly liquefied again, and the speed was tens of millions of times faster than the previous solidification.

Another impact failed, but the only gain was that the entire body of the soul inadvertently and invisibly became a little more viscous, which was better than nothing.

"It still doesn't work. What's wrong? It seems that it's impossible to break through before we figure it out. Alas! Let's think about our situation first." Mei Zihan, who didn't know why, said to himself for a while.

Feeling that the surroundings were still foggy, he was quite speechless.

Since he woke up, he has tried more than once to see clearly his surroundings and figure out where he is, but he has always failed.

However, after his enlightenment, the situation changed fundamentally. The achievement of Yuan Shen allowed him to have divine thoughts. With divine thoughts, he had the possibility to explore the surrounding situation.

Of course, the soul itself also has eyes and vision, but the eyes are far less capable than the mind and can only see as finely as possible.

When he first became a soul, he couldn't wait to start observing his surroundings, but the result was extremely disappointing. At that time, within the observation range of his spiritual mind, it was completely gray, like haze and gray smoke, and there was nothing substantial. Neither exists.

Even though the Yuan Shen was just in its infancy at that time, under full exploration with the Divine Mind, the area was at least ten miles in radius (don’t ask how we knew this), but within ten miles there was nothing but gray and gray.

While this result made him feel incredible, he also began to realize that he might not just become a vegetable.

Fortunately, he was immersed in the joy of cultivation at that time and didn't think about it too much.

Every time he wakes up from practice, he will search the surrounding space, hoping to find something. This time is no exception. Because of the progress of his soul, the range of his spiritual thoughts has reached an exaggerated five thousand miles.

As before, the results of the spiritual exploration once again disappointed him. Within a radius of five thousand miles, there was still a gray area and nothing. Such a result could not help but make him even more frustrated after the failure of his breakthrough.

"Although I don't know what that gray thing is, it seems that I should be safe for the time being. The surrounding area is gray and empty. Combining the knowledge of past lives, there seem to be two possibilities for such a scenario." Mei Zi said Han began to speculate about his situation.

"The first is to die by yourself. This is the underworld, but there are no bull heads and horse faces, not even ghosts. It doesn't seem like it."

Simply comparing the hell scene in the legend, Mei Zihan felt that it was not consistent with her own situation.

Then he continued to guess: "The second possibility is that he has traveled through time. This is chaos."

But it doesn't seem right. It's not that chaos is extremely dangerous, and even saints have to be careful.

Even if he does not yet know his specific state, he can be sure, certain and certain that he is definitely not sanctified.

Not only is there no sanctification, it is absolutely far away from sanctification. Therefore, if this is chaos, it will be difficult to explain the fact that he is still alive.

"If you don't understand, don't think about it. It's better to take the time to look around. Maybe you will find something."

In the case where neither possibility was very reliable, Mei Zihan, who was already a bit rough-minded, decided to postpone his thinking and explore the surrounding situation first. As for the situation, he could only ignore it for the time being. The ancients once said: " They come, the security."

After paying attention, he randomly chose a direction to set off. He couldn't figure out the direction anyway, so it would be understandable to be casual.

A hundred years have passed since the departure, and Mei Zihan, who has been flying slowly, still hasn't encountered anything real, and the surroundings have not changed at all, except for being gray.

His own patience had obviously been exhausted in the past hundred years. Since he had never encountered danger, he decided to fly at full speed in order to find clues about his situation as soon as possible.

Another thousand years passed like this. After running out of mana, he had to stop to restore his mana. This was an unknown number of times.

Although every time the mana was exhausted and restored, there would be a slight improvement, but he still felt that he really couldn't stand it anymore.

If he hadn't unexpectedly discovered during his last break that the density of haze around him was slightly lower than when he set out, he would have definitely given up at this moment.

This surprising discovery made him feel refreshed, as if he had taken a swig of a cold drink on a hot day.

More importantly, this discovery made him realize that he was not doing useless work. Although the final result of his trip was unpredictable, it was better than being bored alone in an unknown ghost place for tens of thousands of years.

"Even if it's a disaster rather than a blessing, just let me know where you are. Even if you die because of it, it's the right place to die." Mei Zihan made up his mind more than once.

After his mana was restored, he continued to fly towards the target with all his strength, his expression unusually determined.

Another ten thousand years passed by inadvertently, and finally, a spot of light appeared in his sight. Although it was only the size of a pinhead, it made him as ecstatic as the morning light.

For a moment, he felt that he was full of strength and hope, and flew towards the light spot with all his strength.

After nearly a year of flying at full strength, Mei Zihan, who had very little mana left, appeared in front of a thin screen of light.

It is this thin light curtain that isolates the haze from the outside world, but inside the light curtain, it seems to be wrapped in a living world.

Without any hesitation, Yuanshen rushed in instantly. To his surprise, the light screen showed no intention of blocking him.

Entering the light curtain, what you see is an extremely desolate world. The entire sky is less than ten thousand miles in size. There is no sun, moon or any stars in the sky. A weak light emits from the light curtain at the edge of the world, making the whole world feel like a bath. In the moonlight.

A few small clouds hung lazily in the sky, as if they might dissipate at any time, with no intention of raining at all.

Occasionally there will be a few breezes in the sky, which weakly blow through Mei Zihan's soul, bringing a bit of coolness, but of course the effect is only that.

The center of the sky and the earth is an earth-yellow continent with a radius of four thousand miles. It is covered with dust. Because there is very little wind, there are no sandstorms.

The surface of the continent is barren, with ravines and ravines, and not a trace of green in sight. There are also some mountain peaks on the mainland, but due to the lack of decoration by strong winds and running water, each of them is extremely weird and looks like a work of uncanny craftsmanship.

The bare mountains, no more than a few hundred feet high, looked like gray spots on the earth.

A few large and small rivers flowed meanderingly, looking unusually quiet. There were no ripples on the river surface, and no living creatures were seen in the river.

The continent is surrounded by a vast ocean. Because the wind is light, the waves on the sea are very weak. After Yuan Shen's preliminary inspection, there is no sign of any living things in the sea water.

"This world is really desolate. I haven't seen any living creatures. If other people came here, they would definitely starve to death. Fortunately, I am the body of a soul now and do not rely on food to survive."

Mei Zihan couldn't help feeling a little emotional about the desolation of the world in front of her.

"Could it be that the goal I have spent tens of thousands of years looking for is this desolate space in front of me, this world without even the most basic living things, what use can it be? God, you are playing tricks on me!"

Mei Zihan couldn't accept everything in front of her.

Thinking of how hard I had been flying for tens of thousands of years, I found this place where no birds pooped, not even a single bird! Not to mention birds, there are no insects.

"The air is okay. Preliminary observations suggest that it should be suitable for human habitation. However, I am the only soul creature in the world now. Who can use such good air?" Mei Zihan began to vent.

Not believing in evil, he decided to explore this small space over and over again, from the sky to the ocean, from the surface to the ground, and he would not stop until he turned it upside down.

In the end, he still couldn't find any trace of the existence of living things. After his spiritual exploration, there was not even a single microorganism.

In desperation, I had to give up and start to rethink my next plan.

After being depressed for who knows how long, he suddenly thought of a philosophy from his previous life: "Existence is reasonable."

Although this space seems unusually small, far smaller than the earth, it is obvious that it is a world, a complete world, and the light curtain outside should be the edge of the world.

Since the world in front of us (let’s consider it a world) does exist, it means that it has the rationality of existence, and it must also have birth, development and death.

"If you understand the birth process of this world, will it help you understand this place?" Mei Zihan asked herself.

The answer is obvious.

After thinking about this, Mei Zihan was once again motivated and began to re-explore the world. This time he planned to start with the light curtain, then air, water, soil, rocks, etc., and analyze the specific composition of each one.

Under the divine will, all the samples were broken down into the tiniest particles, but the results shocked him.

Under the smallest structure that the current Yuanshen could observe, he found no signs of the existence of atoms or molecules, or even any elements from previous lives.

On the contrary, when various substances are divided to the minimum, their components, in addition to a few types of particles, are numerous types of "qi".

Yes, it was "Qi", or a material existence similar to "Qi". He didn't know what it was. It was completely different from the material composition he knew before. This discovery completely overturned his previous knowledge. of all knowledge.

He began to become uneasy. This result told him the fact that he was not just leaving the earth.

The greater possibility is that he has escaped from the universe of his previous life and can never go back. Looking back on all the things in his previous life, he can't help but sigh: "I can't help but cry with sadness, my dear parents and my former lover. …”

This time his emotion did not last long. As someone with some optimist genes, he quickly regained his mood and continued to plan for the future.

Obviously, the main work now still has to start from this desolate world.

"Since the past life is no longer trustworthy and I can be considered successful in cultivation now, the only way to understand the situation in this world is to start from the legendary core of the world's origin."

Mei Zihan began to think in her heart.

But then he became a little worried: "The world in front of us is too small, and it can also be said to be extremely small. It is hard to say whether the original core exists. It seems that we can only take a gamble. Anyway, it is a dead horse being treated as a live horse. If not, Just think of other ways, and if it does exist, I believe that as long as we find the source core, all problems will be solved. "

After making a new decision, Mei Zihan no longer hesitated at all, and directly escaped into the depths of the earth, heading towards the core of the possible origin of the world.
