I Truly Am The Villian Chapter 2330 - 2329: The Green-Robed Man's Secret and the World Source

The galaxy sparkles, the universe is boundless.

In the depths of the cosmos lie secrets inaccessible to humans.

But at this moment, with a wave of the azure-robed man's hand, the stars in the universe keep changing.

"Guess what this is?" the azure-robed man asked.

"The universe," Xu Zimei replied.

"That's right, this area can be understood as a corner of the universe, and these specks of light—"

"Each speck represents a world."

The azure-robed man said calmly.

Xu Zimei was somewhat surprised.

A single speck is a world, then there must be millions of specks twinkling here!

Does this mean...

"That's right, just as you think, the universe is vast, so vast that it would be hard to explore fully in a lifetime."

The azure-robed man said.

"Even what I'm showing you is merely a corner of the universe."

"It really is quite astonishing," Xu Zimei said.

"It's normal for you to be astonished because you come from a closed world, so it's natural that you don't understand the vastness of the universe."

The azure-robed man said.

"In our world, every world is connected, and we have accepted the vast concept of time since childhood."

"A closed world?" Xu Zimei said.

"Why is our world closed?"

The azure-robed man smiled and pointed with his right hand.

Among the many twinkling stars, a star suddenly brightened, overshadowing all the others.

"This is your world."

"The Nine Domains World."

"The founder of this world is called the Nine Domains Immortal Venerable, an extraordinary power."

"In the era of great turmoil, he earned a formidable reputation, but regrettably still perished in the final holy war."

"After his death, the entire world fell into a state of self-preservation; in fact, this happens quite often."

"The Heavenly Dao of the Nine Domains World blocks all unstable factors, outsiders cannot enter, and insiders cannot leave."

"And it's impossible for us to force an attack from the outside; the risk is too great."

"What is your purpose?" Xu Zimei asked.

"Actually, there is no particular purpose, just a simple desire to communicate with the Nine Domains World," the azure-robed man smiled.

"Simple communication?" Xu Zimei said blandly.

"Do you always chat with such little sincerity?"

"Alright, then I'll be straightforward," the azure-robed man replied.

"Every world has its own resources, which we also call world sources."

"Because of the existence of world sources, worlds can thrive and develop."

World source, this is the first time Xu Zimei has heard of such a thing.

He asked, "If world sources didn't exist, what would happen to this world?"

"The entire world would run out of oxygen, and all life would be unable to survive."

Natural disasters would occur continuously, and the entire world would collapse, like a great destruction."

The azure-robed man said.

For a world, it might experience several centuries.

Each century is a new and different visage.

Just like Blue Star, it's said that long ago, dinosaurs lived here, and for some unknown reason, all dinosaurs became extinct.

Humans then entered a new century.

The world source the azure-robed man mentioned is akin to a great world destruction.

When a generation loses its world source,

If the outcome is somewhat good, possibly the whole world would face a great destruction, followed by the death of countless creatures.

The entire world would need to gestate anew for tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of years, before a new world source might appear.

By then, new life forms would emerge.

Like the transition from the world of dinosaurs to humans.

This is still a relatively good outcome. If worse, the disappearance of the world source would lead to total world annihilation.

"Are you plundering world sources?" Xu Zimei said.

"To call it plundering is not entirely accurate. Cultivation is, at its core, about competition."

"Competing with the heavens, competing with the earth, competing with the infinite joys of the Great Dao."

"On a smaller scale, cultivators might fight fiercely over a single spiritual medicine or spiritual sword, ending up with bruises and wounds."

"On a larger scale, it is only natural to vie for world sources."

"Minor cultivators contesting over grass and trees, for those like us with Heaven Shaking abilities, naturally, we contest over entire worlds and realms."

"What is the use of world sources?" Xu Zimei asked.

He didn't refute the other's words.

After all, it sounds reasonable; the principle of might makes right between people applies here.

The concept of survival of the fittest also holds among worlds.

"World sources can enhance other worlds, but as for the specifics, you will know in due time."

"You currently cannot access this level," the azure-robed man smiled.

"So, why are you seeking people in this manner?" Xu Zimei asked.

"Was it the same method you used to approach the Great Emperor Tianqi long ago?"

Upon hearing Xu Zimei's words, the azure-robed man smiled.

He said, "I know you must have many doubts in your heart; it's quite normal for someone who has just encountered the outside world to be puzzled."

"This space is absolutely safe, so we can take our time."

"Where should we start from?"

"Why not talk about this crystal," Xu Zimei asked.

"This is the Sand of Time, a unique cosmic object, extremely rare in production, and you've seen its effects."

The azure-robed man said.

"Even in a closed world, we can transmit it inside."

"Do you want to leave the Nine Domains World?"

"To see a broader world outside, by then your power wouldn't just be what it is now."

"Or are you willing to grow old and die here?"

"Did the Great Emperor Tianqi leave the Nine Domains World?" Xu Zimei couldn't help but ask.

This was the most puzzling thing for him.

He had guessed the existence of worlds beyond realms and had guessed the departure of the Great Emperor Tianqi.

But he could never figure out, what method could allow a living person to truly gain the power to leave the Nine Domains.

It must be known that the Great Dao is locked; the world's barrier is impossible to breach.

The reason for visiting Yuan Central Continent is that Yuan Central Continent is a small world connected to the Nine Domains World.

But the world's outside are different.

"I mentioned that he was a lucky one; this Time-Space Sand has been cast into this world for many years."

But truly, only he left," the azure-robed man nodded, confirming Xu Zimei's conjecture.

"How did he leave?" Xu Zimei asked again.

"Before I answer this question, you need to sign a cosmic contract with us," the azure-robed man said.

"Otherwise, this is an extremely crucial secret; we cannot reveal it easily."

With a point of his right hand, the azure-robed man altered the infinite Power of the Great Dao in the firmament, a transformation that even Xu Zimei couldn't fathom.
