Facing the relentless demands of the Ball of Light, Zhao Li had a bold idea: borrowing a hen to lay eggs, or rather, to hatch an egg!
When he was undergoing Core Transformation, he had already thought about it. Since he could form a Golden Core, couldn't his Qi Sea transform into a Sea of Chaos? Couldn't the embryonic form of the 'Plane Embryo' in the eyes of the Origin of Heaven and Earth evolve further into a world?
With his current Realm, he hadn't reached the stage of evolving a world. But even if he couldn't, the World Origin could!
So, he personally sent that half Golden Core into the embrace of the World Origin!
Zhao Li was bold because of his high level of skill. Of course, the main reason was that the shattered Golden Core was no longer important to him. In the past, he wouldn't have dared to mess around with his foundation!
If he successfully evolved an Inner Universe, even if it was just a fragmented Pocket World, he would consider it a success!
And once successful, his future potential would be immeasurable. Because as long as he was given Time, he could continue to grow as the world evolved. A fragmented Pocket World could become a complete Pocket World, and a complete Pocket World could then evolve into a Great World!
Of course, if he failed, for him, it would just be the loss of a Golden Core that was already going to shatter, losing a few layers of energy, which he could recover within a few years.
Under the temptation of such no-risk, super-high-reward, Zhao Li didn't mind taking a gamble!
Thus, after entering the Ball of Light, the shattered Golden Core was like an egg that found a suitable place to hatch. It actually began to slowly repair itself, and some illusory scenes could faintly be seen evolving within it.
This was not surprising. Before it shattered, it was able to attract the covetousness of the World Will, which was enough to show that it had already surpassed a certain limit. Although it was now shattered, its essence had not changed. It was still the embryonic form of the 'Plane Embryo'.
Seeing this, Zhao Li watched the slow changes within it without blinking. He hadn't come to complete this realm of Heaven and Earth. Everything he was doing now was just to see how it hatched!
Just like a hen hatches eggs, the World Will instinctively knew how to evolve a world. What Zhao Li needed to do was to learn this process and then evolve it himself.
This process could be said to be complex, involving the most fundamental power of the world, the fusion and cooperation of various Rules, and even some things were born out of conflict!
But it could also be said to be simple, because during the process of being refined by the World Will, Zhao Li had also almost 'refined' that Ball of Origin. The difference between him and it was definitely not in quality, but in quantity!
Time passed. While it was hatching the egg, it seemed to have also absorbed Zhao Li's Dao from it, making its radiance even stronger. However, its influence on the Golden Core had entered a new process, no longer as obvious as it was initially. From this moment on, it was just a matter of slow grinding. Perhaps after hundreds or even Ten Thousand Years, it could truly transform!
Zhao Li had been pondering up until now and had gained something. Naturally, he wouldn't continue to waste Time. If he really waited for hundreds or Ten Thousand Years, he might not even care about these things anymore. He didn't care if it could understand him and said with a smile:
"If I can truly successfully open up an Inner Universe, I will definitely not forget your contribution. Now, let's end this here!"
Saying that, he suddenly reached out his palm and grabbed towards the Ball of Light.
Although the energy of the Ball of Light seemed endless, it had a fatal flaw: it only had instinct, and its instinct was only to move towards betterment!
So, facing Zhao Li's seemingly ordinary grasp, which was actually capable of plucking stars and moons, it merely wrapped layer after layer of its vast and endless energy around the shattered Golden Core.
This response was completely without any skill, but with the support of its endless energy, it had a sense of great skilllessness.
Although Zhao Li passed through layer after layer of obstruction, he ultimately failed to touch the egg he had personally put in.
Seeing this, Zhao Li's eyes narrowed slightly. He realized that he had underestimated the growth speed of the World Origin. According to common sense, the evolution of a world almost always took Ten Thousand Years as a unit, and even after Ten Thousand Years, one might not necessarily feel the change. But now, it was actually much stronger than before!
"Is it the bonus from that Golden Core, or... has it itself reached a critical point?"
Zhao Li was curious, but he had no intention of giving up at all. He entangled with it again and again, wanting to retrieve the egg he had sent under the hen.
That Golden Core contained the accumulation of his entire life and had been baptized by the World Origin. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was the best Cosmic Seed. Although losing it would not affect Zhao Li's Combat Power and Realm, if he didn't take such a treasure, he might not be able to sleep well in the future. Moreover, it was originally his.
But before Zhao Li could continue to make a move, the Ball of Origin seemed to have gotten what it wanted and already had the intention to leave, completely unwilling to entangle with Zhao Li.
"This..."
Zhao Li watched it gradually disappear, but the layer after layer of energy still seemed endless, preventing him. He was dumbfounded.
After the previous Exchange Blows, he had a deep understanding of this energy. Although it was not condensed, it was vast and endless. He had no ability to break through the layers of blockade before the Ball of Light disappeared.
Seeing that all his efforts were about to be in vain, like Zhao Shiwang who lost both his wife and his army, Zhao Li gritted his teeth and rapidly changed his Hand Seals. As he moved, a figure with a face identical to his appeared behind him.
He was nearly a hundred feet tall, with a celebratory cloud and jade crown on his head, and wore a bright yellow Emperor's Robe. However, there were no emotional fluctuations in his eyes, as if he were a high and mighty Emperor!
In fact, he was originally an Emperor. As the first Deity manifested by Zhao Li, if the Inner Universe evolved successfully, he would be the future Lord of the Inner Universe. Zhao Li called him the Jade Emperor!
Thanks to the Cultivation of this world, Zhao Li had truly reached that ethereal Realm that countless predecessors in other worlds had compiled and summarized. Moreover, in over a hundred years of Cultivation, he had repeatedly summarized, taking the essence and discarding the dross. He had long since surpassed the Realm of 'Seeing Gods'.
Since cutting off the Cognitive Barrier between his Essence, Qi, and Spirit, Zhao Li had vaguely felt that 'Seeing Gods' was not the end. After Seeing Gods, one could condense Deities, and even condensing Deities was not the end. One could also connect the Deities...
And this Jade Emperor was the first among the Deities he had seen that he had condensed!
Zhao Li had a wild ambition. He wanted to condense the Aperture Gods in his entire body one by one and have them preside over the Inner Universe, establishing a Heavenly Court within it!
At that time, combining the power of one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred Deities with the might of a world, Zhao Li couldn't think of anyone who would be his opponent.
Therefore, he could not allow that almost perfect Cosmic Seed to be taken away like this, even if it was the Origin of a world taking it away!
With this thought, Zhao Li and the Deity behind him moved at the same time. As the two changed their Hand Seals, a strange power spread outwards.
Its aura seemed similar to that of the Ball of Origin, but with subtle differences. And compared to the vast and endless Ball of Origin, it was simply too small, with no comparability at all.
But Zhao Li didn't expect it to fight. It was just a new bait!
The Dao was there, but a thousand people had a thousand different faces. What everyone saw was different. Although Zhao Li's Cultivation originated from it, it was also different from it!
And its growth was the continuous refinement of the Origin within it. This result, which was at the same level as it but seemed right and yet wasn't, was its greatest nourishment!
