Translator: 549690339

At that moment, everyone in the second level was in a state of shock.

In the minds of all living beings, the upper realm... was the place where the gods slept.

And now, the door leading to the upper realm was slowly being pushed open. As it was pushed open, a gust of wind with a rotten aura blew out from the crack of the door and fell into the second level.

The wind was strong. It was as if the two worlds had been isolated previously, so everything in the first level had been sealed. Now that it had been opened, due to the difference between the two worlds.., it caused a rapid flow between the two worlds!

The wind from the first level blew over and lifted Wang Baole’s hair. At the same time, the laws from the second level... silently followed the crack in the door and entered the first level.

This only pushed open a crack.

Soon, with Wang Baole’s full strength, the crack grew bigger and bigger. The moment the door was completely pushed open, the second level rumbled. The ground trembled, the mountains shook, and there were even gazes.., they looked through the third level.

What was even more shocking was the rapid breathing. It was the breathing of all the living beings in the second level.

Following that, figures shot up into the sky one after another. The seven emotions belonged to each of them. There was also the desire to listen, the desire to eat, the desire to smell, and the desire to touch. Eleven figures shot up into the sky.

There were three other figures that rushed out of ancient times city. They exuded the aura of time, but the ripples of their cultivation were not much different from that of the desire lord. They also shot up into the sky.

Before they arrived, Wang Baole, who had pushed open the door, was the first person to step through the door. He stepped into the first level of the world. What greeted him was an endless stretch of ruins and dust..

The Sky was gray, and the ground was black.

Countless buildings had collapsed, and bones were scattered all over the ground. The entire world was silent, but it was also filled with the smell of death and desolation.

Only in the distance stood a gigantic statue. It stood at the center of the first level of the world, as if it represented the glory of the past.

The statue was enormous, as if it supported the heavens and earth. It wore armor and faced the distance. However... the face of the statue was blank.

Wang Baole was silent as he watched all of this. Soon, the sound of something breaking through the air came from behind him. The Lord of seven emotions and four desires, as well as the three cultivators from ancient times city, had arrived one after another, after entering the first level of the world, which had complicated thoughts in their minds, and seeing the ruins around them, all of them fell silent.

“So... This place has long since disappeared.”

“The first level of the world... the sacred ground from back then...”

Everyone had different expressions. Even the lord of listening desires had landed in the ruins below. He stared at his surroundings in a daze, his body trembling slightly.

However, as they were immersed in their own emotions, they did not notice that as the opening of the door continued for a longer period of time, and as they arrived, more laws of seven emotions and six desires surged in silently through the door, they spread out in all directions.

Wang Baole was the only one who noticed the scene. After taking a deep look, Wang Baole ignored the crowd and flew in the direction of the statue.

He could sense that there was no life left in this world. The only thing left... was the interior of the statue.

There, he could feel the vibrations of the resonance. He was very familiar with the vibrations, as if he was another version of himself.

The others saw Wang Baole’s departure, but most of them were immersed in their own thoughts. Some of them spread out as well, as if they were searching for traces in their memories.

Only... the joyous owner looked deeply in the direction Wang Baole had gone. The profundity in her eyes hid her own thoughts, making it impossible for others to guess what she was thinking even if they noticed it.

However... the laws of seven emotions and six desires seemed to flow more with her.

In the distance, Wang Baole suddenly turned his head and looked behind him. Then, he turned his head expressionlessly. He didn’t slow down and headed straight for the statue.

Soon, he arrived in front of the statue that seemed to support the heavens and earth. The statue had existed here for an unknown number of years. The vicissitudes of time were obvious. There was even a faint suppressive force spreading out, as if it could suppress everything.

However, to Wang Baole, due to certain reasons, the suppressive force wasn’t very effective.

He stood there silently and sensed it carefully. Finally, he walked to the center of the statue’s forehead. He could sense that this was... the entrance.

And this statue was... the place where the imperial emperor was in seclusion.

We’re finally going to meet, Wang Baole murmured. He walked towards the center of the statue’s forehead.

He didn’t encounter any obstacles. His figure merged into the center of the statue’s forehead and disappeared. As his vision turned from pitch-black to bright, Wang Baole felt as if he had penetrated a layer of barrier.

The penetration wasn’t without danger. He felt a wave of energy, as if it was trying to verify his identity. When it swept past him, the wave seemed to have confirmed something before it slowly dissipated.

“Are You Waiting for me too?”Wang baole murmured softly. He looked around, and what he saw was a world.

This World... was exactly the same as the first level outside!

Wang Baole narrowed his eyes and scanned the surroundings. He saw the ruins, the remains, the dust, and... the familiar statue standing in the distance.

However, there seemed to be a slight outline on the statue’s face. The ruins on the ground looked the same as the first level of the world, but in reality... If one looked closely.., one could still see the slight difference.

It was as if the time node was closer to the front.

Layer after layer huh... Wang Baole retracted his gaze and walked towards the statue in this world. However, the moment he took his first step, he suddenly heard a voice.

The voice was very blurry and could not be heard clearly. However, the moment it was heard, it triggered Wang Baole’s law of listening, causing the law to become abnormally active.

This caused Wang Baole’s eyes to flash as he took his second step.

As he took his first step, the voice became even louder. It was as if countless people were whispering, causing those who heard it to instinctively feel uneasy. However, to Wang Baole, who had mastered the law of listening and had become the source, he could ignore all of this.

Therefore, he took the third step, the fourth step, and the fifth step..

When he reached the sixth step, Wang Baole’s expression changed slightly. That was because the sounds he heard were no longer just the whispers of all living beings. Instead, there were more natural sounds, as well as the sounds of birds, beasts, and insects, it seemed to encompass all the sounds of all living beings. When they fused together, the power formed was so great that it was enough to destroy a person’s body and soul.

Even Wang Baole had to get used to it before he used the power of the law of listening to suppress the sounds. After a long while, he took the seventh step.

As he took the seventh step, his figure was already in front of the statue’s forehead. However, Wang Baole’s expression changed even more.

That was because... the sounds this time were different.

Unable to be suppressed, all the voices seemed to have fused together. It was as if they had returned to their original state, turning into a person’s murmurs. The person seemed to be speaking non-stop, but Wang Baole couldn’t hear it clearly, however... the power of the law of listening allowed him to sense that the person speaking... was a woman!

It was as if the woman’s voice could contain all living things. Now that the voices of all living things had fused, it was revealed once again.

At the same time, the voice seemed to contain an endless amount of power. As it continued to be emitted, it caused Wang Baole’s body to tremble. It was as if his flesh and blood were unable to withstand it and were about to collapse.

The suppression from the law of listening was about to lose its effect as well..

At this critical juncture, Wang Baole’s eyes flashed. The Qi and blood in his body exploded, finally suppressing the woman’s voice for an instant.

Using this instant, he moved forward and stepped directly between the eyebrows of the statue. Without any hindrance, he fused into it.

As he fused into it, all the sounds disappeared in an instant. It became quiet again. What appeared before Wang Baole was a series of moving pictures..

It was as if everything that had happened before was just a test. If he could pass it, he would receive a reward.

These images were the rewards. The moment Wang Baole saw these images, his mind was filled with waves!

That was because he had seen some of these images before!

The first image was of an unfamiliar starry sky.

It was as if a funeral was being held in the starry sky. Earth-shattering figures could be seen everywhere in the starry sky. Each and every one of them was terrifyingly powerful. At that moment, they were all bowing their heads towards the place of the funeral.

This scene caused Wang Baole’s heart to tremble violently. He was certain... that the starry sky was definitely not this universe.

It’s another universe outside the universe... Wang Baole muttered as he looked at the second scene.

In the scene, in the center of the starry sky, a corpse was buried... in a black wooden coffin.

The moment he saw the corpse, Wang Baole’s body trembled and resonated. The moment he saw the black coffin, his soul trembled violently.

That was because the former was exactly the same as him.

That was because the latter was his black wooden coffin.

After a long while, Wang Baole took a deep breath and looked at the third image.

In the image, the black coffin that was buried in the corpse was sent into the starry skies. This seemed to be a custom in the universe. Countless almighty figures watched as the coffin drifted into the depths of the universe... time passed at that moment, the black coffin shuttled through the starry skies, passing through one universe after another. Finally, one day..

It approached the universe that Wang Baole was familiar with.

As it collided, the coffin knocked a hole in the barrier of the universe, allowing it to float into the universe smoothly..

The universe in the image was clearly from countless years ago. At that time, the universe... didn’t seem to have any life. Even the stars didn’t form. It was as if it was just a bubble.

In the bubble-like great universe, the corpse in the coffin slowly rotted away, perhaps due to the passage of time or some special reason, the flesh and blood merged with the coffin.

The coffin seemed to have lost its ability to float. It stopped in the bubble-like great universe. Several years later, the coffin seemed to have become a part of the great universe. It completely merged with the coffin and disappeared.

At the same time that it disappeared, the bubble-like universe gave birth to its first origin.

It was... The wood dao origin.
