Chapter 481 The Peak Realm, Welcomed by the Lords of the Universe
Chapter 481 The Peak Realm, Welcomed by the Lords of the Universe
Zhou Ze was slightly taken aback, but a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He then turned to look behind him, and the Lord of Ice Peak did the same.
At first glance, one can see the enormous membrane spreading outwards, like a giant curtain that seems to have no end, as if it directly covers the entire cosmic ocean.
"Holy Master, this is the primordial universe! The cradle that gave birth to billions of races. What were your feelings when you first saw it?" the Lord of the Ice Peaks laughed.
"What else could I feel?" Zhou Ze asked, looking at the primordial universe. "I can't even see the whole picture!"
"That's true..." The Lord of Ice Peak nodded. "When Senior Brother Chaos took me into the Cosmic Sea for the first time, I only felt that the primordial universe was unattainable, just like an ordinary person looking up at the sun, without feeling any pressure..."
"To be honest, I still find it hard to believe that a teacher would dare to stand up to such a behemoth!"
Zhou Ze smiled slightly and said, "The higher you stand, the farther you can see. Like when I was just an ordinary person on a life-bearing planet, my speed couldn't even reach ten meters per second, my strength was less than a hundred kilograms, and I would be out of breath after running just one kilometer..."
"Back then, no one dared to imagine that humans could fly, or even exceed the speed of light. A single strike could destroy a galaxy, and in the blink of an eye, one could traverse tens of thousands of light-years..."
While seemingly addressed to the Lord of Ice Peak, it was actually Zhou Ze's reflection on himself.
The Lord of Ice Peak glanced at Zhou Ze: "Indeed..."
"Before the Holy Master appeared, probably no one in the entire primordial universe, or even this entire cosmic sea, could have imagined that such a heaven-defying existence as the Holy Master existed, haha!"
Zhou Ze smiled, turned around and said, "Let's go."
"Alright, Holy Master, don't resist. I'll teleport you there."
After the Lord of Ice Peak finished speaking, he led Zhou Ze to a void.
"These are the 39 natural impulses that emerged from the Toya Black Hole!" the Lord of the Ice Peaks pointed out.
Zhou Ze nodded.
The cosmic sea is vast and boundless. Once you enter the cosmic sea, you are no longer within the original universe. You can no longer travel in the universe by teleportation through the divine kingdom. You mainly rely on teleportation and natural wormholes.
Teleportation is generally only for short-distance travel, or for rushing to destinations. In the universe, most journeys are made using natural wormholes.
"By the way, Holy Master, you should have seen the relevant information, but I still have to remind you of something..." the Lord of Ice Peak said solemnly.
"The structure of the cosmic sea is different from that of the primordial universe. The unique structure of the primordial universe allows you to determine your coordinates anywhere, but you cannot determine coordinates in the cosmic sea. Therefore, maps are extremely important in the cosmic sea, and reference points on the maps are also extremely important. Only by referring to maps and reference points can you avoid getting lost in the cosmic sea!"
"Getting lost in the cosmic sea is terrifying. Once lost... if you try to find your way back by teleporting repeatedly, you'll easily drift further and further away. If you're lucky, you might find your way back after countless epochs; if you're unlucky, you might be permanently lost in the cosmic sea!"
The Lord of Ice Peaks chuckled sheepishly, "Don't laugh at me, but I was careless once... cough cough... and it took me ten thousand epochs to get back. Those days were truly... sigh..."
Zhou Ze blinked and looked at the Lord of Ice Peak.
The Lord of Ice Peaks sighed, "I'm lucky. Some other races didn't believe in fate. They went missing back in my teacher's time, and trillions of years have passed. They still haven't returned. It's practically the same as being dead..."
"If you have an avatar, why can't you come back?" Zhou Ze asked.
The Lord of Ice Peaks shrugged: "It still depends on luck. If you get too far away, even with an avatar and a map, you might not be able to come back."
"Okay, I'll be careful." Zhou Ze nodded. Getting lost was not a concept to him at all.
In the blink of an eye, one can enter the Land of Origin and then reappear beside any of their clones.
"Teleportation is only allowed in areas clearly marked on the map. Teleportation is strictly prohibited in unknown areas not covered by the map!" the Ice Peak Lord exclaimed.
"The cosmic ocean is too vast. The most detailed map that our human race currently knows is only a tiny fraction of the cosmic ocean."
"Let's go, our route this time will follow this No. 15 natural wormhole!" The Lord of Ice Peaks pointed to the No. 15 natural wormhole in the distance.
The natural wormholes numbered 1 through 39 are described very accurately on the map, and there are multiple ways to describe them, lest one be mistaken.
……
The endless cosmic sea is filled with chaotic currents that are impossible to see with the naked eye. However, at the level of the Lord of the Universe, they do not rely solely on their eyesight to see. The divine power that spreads out allows them to see the surrounding situation more accurately.
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Ze followed the Lord of Ice Peak, teleporting continuously! Teleporting! Teleporting!
Each teleportation can reach 10,000 light-years, and the super strong willpower can maintain an extremely high frequency of teleportation.
Zhou Ze and the Lord of Ice Peak emerged from a spatial vortex once again and immediately saw a colossal celestial body in the void not far ahead, its massive cosmic membrane stretching out as far as the eye could see.
However, the cosmic membrane was so badly damaged that Zhou Ze could see hundreds of broken, irregular holes and cracks at a glance, allowing the chaotic airflow to completely pass through the cosmic sea and the cosmic membrane.
"This is the reference miniature universe!" the Ice Peak Lord said, then asked, "Holy Master, would you like to take a look?"
"No need, let's keep going. There's nothing to see anyway," Zhou Ze said, shaking his head.
The two continued their journey by teleporting, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the eighth day in the Cosmic Sea.
"Soon we will see the 'Peak Realm,' one of the three forbidden zones. Our human race's gathering place in the Cosmic Sea is on a celestial rock on the outer edge of the Peak Realm."
The Lord of Ice Peaks teleported with Zhou Ze for a while longer before finally stopping. They stood side by side in the void, gazing into the distance.
"How magnificent!" Zhou Ze exclaimed.
Looking into the distance, one can see a majestic mountain with its peak falling halfway down its slope, as if some being with boundless power had cleaved the mountain in two with a single stroke, causing the peak to fall to the mountainside.
Whoosh!
On the smooth main mountain, endless, enormous waterfalls cascade down, crashing onto the mountainside below. The water spreads all around, submerging a small portion of the mountaintop where the waterfall has fallen.
At the same time, countless pebbles were flying around the mountain peak.
"That is the Realm of Inclined Peaks," said the Lord of Ice Peaks. "Our clan's settlement is on one of those rubble stones. Don't underestimate those rubble stones; we are currently over a billion light-years away from them!"
"The main mountain of Qingfengjie is about 9802 light-years high, and the largest diameter of its truncated peak is 1226 million light-years. Those fragments of rock may look small, but they are actually measured in light-years!"
"The area outside the mountain is the outer realm, with a lower level of danger. Of course, some dangerous spots can still cause even some universe lords with weaker survival abilities to perish!"
"The interior of the mountain is an inner region, extremely dangerous; even the most powerful universe masters could perish there."
"As for the core of the mountain, even the strongest beings in the universe could perish there!"
"Of course, generally speaking, aside from the three most dangerous places, the greatest danger in the Cosmic Sea is getting lost, and also facing other powerful figures from the Reincarnation Era, especially those from the First Reincarnation Era!"
Zhou Ze nodded; he knew what the Lord of Ice Peaks meant.
Most of the powerful beings in the first era of reincarnation were insane. The primordial universe reincarnated generation after generation, and even if they escaped the great destruction of the primordial universe, they could only live for a maximum of three reincarnation eras if they could not break through to the Void True God level. Once the time was up, all life in the first era of reincarnation, including the strongest beings in the universe, would perish!
"Let's go, Holy Master, it will take us quite a while to teleport away from it," the Lord of Ice Peaks laughed.
……
A moment later, Zhou Ze and the Lord of Ice Peak arrived at the outer domain of the Peak-Tilting Realm.
Whoosh~~
Giant, seemingly endless mountains were flying at high speed. What appeared to be just small rocks from hundreds of millions of light-years away now seemed enormous up close, almost like facing the primordial universe.
Moreover, these enormous rocks are traveling at several times the speed of light. If one of them were to collide with it, even the ruler of the universe would be in serious trouble.
"Battles don't usually occur in the outer realms, unless you encounter a madman from the first era of reincarnation..."
The Lord of Ice Peaks chatted with Zhou Ze for a few moments, then teleported away again.
After passing several celestial rocks traveling at several times the speed of light, they finally landed on a celestial rock with a maximum diameter of about 8.2 million light-years.
"The strongest members of our human race in the Cosmic Sea are mainly located in the Qingfeng Realm. This celestial rock is the temporary gathering place for our human race here. Of course, the universe lords of other races in the Hong Alliance are also gathered here. Follow me."
The Lord of Ice Peaks continued to teleport Zhou Ze a short distance.
Swish!
Arriving at another location three years away from the Celestial Mountain Stone, a random groove on the surface of the Celestial Mountain Stone is millions of kilometers deep. In this canyon, there is a temple, and outside the temple, eleven cosmic lords are waiting.
Six of them were human, and the other five were non-human races within the Hong Alliance. One of them was even the Lord of the Golden Emperor. Clearly, they were all waiting for Zhou Ze to arrive.
"Holy Master!"
"Holy Master!"
"..."
All eleven universe lords greeted Zhou Ze one after another, showing him the utmost respect.
"Everyone, you're all too kind. You've been waiting for me outside. I feel really bad about it," Zhou Ze said with a slight smile.
"It's nothing, it's your first time here, we should be happy to welcome you!" Master Peng said with a smile, stroking his beard.
"Knowing you were coming, we all rushed from all over the Qingfeng Realm to welcome you." Lord Youhou smiled, carefully looking at Zhou Ze:
"Hmm, Holy Master, this is the first time I've seen your true appearance..."
Zhou Ze chuckled softly, "There's no other way. I wasn't strong enough before. The entire primordial universe was waiting for me, so I naturally had to keep a low profile..."
Although he had a clone and mental strength, and didn't possess any special treasures, he wasn't afraid of falling. However, the problem was that losing a clone would deplete his source power. Back then, the source power recovered too slowly, and he couldn't bear to do that.
"This is the reference miniature universe!" the Ice Peak Lord said, then asked, "Holy Master, would you like to take a look?"
"No need, let's keep going. There's nothing to see anyway," Zhou Ze said, shaking his head.
