Swallowed Star Chapter 1483 - World of Jin Disappeared

Teacher Origin appeared conflicted. “Do you want to know why I was suppressed?”

Luo Feng and Primal Chaos City Leader listened intently.

“Back when I first rose to prominence,” Teacher Origin explained slowly, “nobody from the first or second universe eras could match me. I wandered freely through Universe Ocean with no rivals. Still, I stayed cautious of the two holy lands. Invincible as I was, I couldn’t claim to surpass the ancestors of those two holy lands. I’ve long wondered why the ancestors never emerged. Even if they transcended incarnations and stand unrivaled, they wouldn’t stay trapped in the holy lands forever. Unless… they couldn’t escape! I suspected that transcending incarnations was a plot!”

“A plot?” Luo Feng and Primal Chaos City Leader were stunned.

“I once thought it was the original universe’s scheme,” Teacher Origin continued. “But after my suppression, I encountered the supreme laws, and that’s when I realized my mistake. Utterly wrong. The supreme laws govern every aspect of Universe Ocean! The original mind only oversees the original universe. It lacks the power to compel anyone to transcend incarnations…”

Primal Chaos City Leader furrowed his brow. “Yet, Teacher, upon reaching void space level, one must transcend incarnations almost immediately.”

“Indeed,” Teacher Origin affirmed. “That stems from the supreme laws’ restrictions. Only they can command true gods and higher. Suppressed for so long, I’ve finally grasped it. The original mind can’t force anyone’s movements. If it could, it would’ve compelled Yuan Ao Master, Zhen Jia Emperor, and others to certain spots in the Lands of Extremis instead of enduring all that trouble.”

Luo Feng nodded. He’d discussed this with Teacher Sitting Mountain Guest earlier, knowing the original mind posed no threat to true gods—as long as supreme laws weren’t violated.

“My suppression happened because I defied the supreme laws,” Teacher Origin stated, “prompting the original mind to act against me. Without that defiance, it couldn’t have touched me.”

“How did you defy them?” Luo Feng and Primal Chaos City Leader asked eagerly.

Teacher Origin grinned. “I grew wary of the original mind early on, suspecting it orchestrated everything… I probed relentlessly, only to discover the original mind lacks true wisdom; it possesses merely rudimentary intelligence. It’s a feeble consciousness born from the original universe’s origin.”

“Feeble?” Luo Feng and Primal Chaos City Leader were astounded.

“Yes.” Teacher Origin nodded. “The original mind is inherently weak, drawing endless power solely from the original universe’s origin. I refused to transcend incarnations, fearing eternal bondage. So, I devised a scheme… to destroy the original mind and replace it with my own as the original universe’s mind.”

“What?”

Luo Feng and Primal Chaos City Leader were flabbergasted.

Soul seizure? Was that his intent?

Luo Feng had inferred from prior events that the original mind held no inherent power—relying on others to eliminate Yuan Ao Master and using the Ancestral God School for its tasks. He’d even contemplated claiming the original universe’s authority himself, though no practical way came to mind.

“That’s why I built the virtual universe,” Teacher Origin revealed with a smile. “My virtual universe mirrors the real one perfectly, like two halves of a whole. As a native life form of the original universe, it accepts me without resistance. By spreading my mind across the original universe via the virtual universe, it began clashing with the original mind.”

Luo Feng and Primal Chaos City Leader stood dumbfounded.

The virtual universe was crafted to usurp the original universe’s soul!

“But I erred gravely.” Teacher Origin sighed. “Far too naive. My assumptions proved disastrously incorrect… Attempting to seize the original universe violated the supreme laws! Thus, they punished me. I failed and was suppressed. That punishment exposed me to deeper supreme laws, deepening my understanding.”

Luo Feng and Primal Chaos City Leader fell silent.

Teacher Origin had truly challenged the original mind, deeming it the mastermind. He’d pierced its vulnerabilities, then forged the virtual universe to conquer the original universe. Success had nearly been his.

“No wonder the original mind refused to free Teacher Origin!” Primal Chaos City Leader burst out. “It waited until Luo Feng resolved the Sector Beasts crisis before releasing him.”

Luo Feng pondered deeply. Sector Beasts embodied destruction, the original universe life—polar opposites. Supreme laws judged them impartially, rewarding whichever prevailed.

The supreme laws showed no favoritism. Sector Beasts victorious meant total annihilation. Original universe triumphant meant rewards for Luo Feng, the key victor.

Yet it feels unjust, Luo Feng mused. The Sector Beasts’ king resides at void space level without incarnation compulsion. But we must transcend upon reaching true god void space.

Exactly. The Sector Beasts’ king opposes the original universe at the pinnacle. We, born within the original universe, rank lower and face stricter limits.

Universe Ocean’s apex powers: the original universe and Sector Beasts’ king.

Even Luo Feng—with 100,000 times life gene level, saluted by all life forms—lagged behind them. This thrilled him, having subjugated the Sector Beasts’ king.

Post-Sector Beasts crisis, Universe Ocean regained tranquility.

Miniature universes from first and second eras lay in ruins. Skeleton Master had sided with Sector Beasts, yet his miniature universe endured while Morosa lived. To conceal the king’s existence, Morosa slew Skeleton Master instantly upon ascension, shattering his miniature universe too.

Time flew, spanning tens of thousands of eras.

“The World of Jin’s membrane whitens each era.”

Demon race’s new universe master “Ren Yu Master” piloted a palace toward World of Jin. Great beings rarely visited swiftly.

“Huh?” Ren Yu Master gazed shocked at the surrounding space. “Did I stray?”

Ren Yu Master doubted his position but confirmed via Universe Ocean map and coordinates…

“This was once the World of Jin’s location,” Ren Yu Master murmured. “That colossal entity vanished? The entire World of Jin gone?” He stood stupefied.

Hong!

News blazed through the original universe. Great beings swiftly learned of World of Jin’s disappearance.

Within half a day, Luo Feng reached the former site.

“Where did it go?” Silver wings extended, Luo Feng hovered amid chaos air, peering afar. Ages past, Godly King of Jin’s massive form had loomed there.

Shua! Shua! Shua!

Luo Feng teleported frantically in search. Other races’ great beings scoured too, yet World of Jin eluded them. Over tens of thousands of eras, it had departed unnoticed—no visitors until Ren Yu Master’s training trip.

My godly power avatar lingers inside World of Jin, Luo Feng thought, frowning in the void.

******

Far in Universe Ocean’s depths, a colossal object hurtled swiftly.

Within, in World of Jin, on Python River Army island of East Army, Luo Feng’s godly power avatar resided. An era prior, upon original body’s news of disappearance, the avatar realized relocation to an alien Universe Ocean region.

“Where has World of Jin taken me?”

After one era, the universe membrane gleamed white.

Luo Feng’s godly power avatar piloted a spaceship, bursting through the membrane. Eager to explore this profound Universe Ocean depth, he sought escape from World of Jin and the giant to pinpoint his location.

Hong!

He exited World of Jin’s miniature universe.

“This is…” Luo Feng’s godly power avatar scanned from the spaceship exterior.

Boundless flames engulfed him. The true god spaceship vaporized instantly, as did Luo Feng’s godly power avatar.

In original universe’s Milky Way Holy Land, Luo Feng scolded son Luo Hai.

“I’ve warned you I won’t intervene,” he said. “Without self-comprehension, no one can aid you! Talent lags, yet Universe Ocean holds no absolutes. Opportunity awaits all… Huh?”

“Father?” Luo Hai inquired.

Luo Feng frowned, gazing into space as if piercing vast distances. He murmured, “Instant annihilation? Good thing I traded most military credits for treasures during Sector Beasts battles.”

Though ignorant of World of Jin’s position, it remained intact. Inhabitants thrived safely within.

World of Jin aided against Sector Beasts crisis, Luo Feng reflected. Alongside origin, it preserved original universe. Crisis ended, so World of Jin slipped away quietly.

Luo Feng comprehended. Ancient civilization dwelled there—its descendants. Lingering would let later eras’ life forms seize legacies. Now, that path closed.

When might World of Jin return? Luo Feng pondered.
