After the last battle in the Great East Sea, the Supreme Diagram was severely damaged, and even Guan Wuxiang Tongzi completely disappeared. This left Ming Qi devastated for a long time. Unexpectedly, this journey to the star region unexpectedly revived Wuxiang Tongzi.
Wuxiang Tongzi holds many secrets, and he seems to know many things beyond the bounds of the Tianhuang Great World. This is irreplaceable and precious information for any powerful cultivator.
Through his consciousness, Ming Qi learned from Wuxiang Tongzi the true reason for his resurgence.
That day, in order to resist the combined siege of numerous masters, Wuxiang Tongzi was forced to pour all his strength into the Supreme Diagram, but ultimately failed to defend himself, and the Supreme Diagram was severely damaged, almost reduced to its original form.
The original Wuxiang Boy was considered completely dead, but his origins were unusual. As the divine guard had previously mentioned, his soul contained a higher spirit. He came from a world of higher beings, and only the most powerful could extinguish higher spirits. Therefore, a fragment of Wuxiang Boy's original soul remained, merging with the source of the Supreme Diagram.
The source of the Supreme Diagram and Wuxiang Boy's higher spirit came from the same world. During his long slumber, Wuxiang Boy's higher spirit unknowingly gained the upper hand, ultimately crushing the source of the Supreme Diagram and completely controlling it.
If it weren't for Ming Qi's long journey into the star field and his unexpected encounter with the divine guard, even if Wuxiang Boy had possessed the Supreme Diagram, it would have taken centuries for him to awaken.
However, due to the extremely severe trauma Wuxiang Boy had previously endured, many of his memories had been shattered, leaving even less than when he first awakened.
Even so, some of Wuxiang Tong's memories still remained, and from these, Ming Qi learned some crucial facts.
The first thing that shocked Ming Qi was that the gods were created by the Supreme Beings. They were scattered throughout the heavens to serve the gods of heaven and earth, but the Supreme Being's essence within them guided them, requiring them to unconditionally obey the will of the Supreme Beings when necessary.
In other words, while the gods currently patrolled the heavens on behalf of the gods of heaven and earth, they were not fundamentally controlled by them, but by the Supreme Beings.
Then there was some information about the star field and the Future Star Palace. Wuxiang Tong's memories of this were incomplete. He could only tell Ming Qi that the star field was a battlefield connecting the heavens, and that the Future Star Palace seemed to have some connection to the entire structure of order, a kind of nexus. However, Wuxiang Tong had no idea what these connections were.
"Do you know what's inside the Future Star Palace?"
Ming Qi asked. He was currently concerned about what was inside the Future Star Palace and whether these things could bring him any benefits. Of course, those divine-level materials were not to be tampered with.
"Palaces like this abound throughout the universe. They all contain, to varying degrees, certain secrets of the universe. Furthermore, within each star palace lies a projection of a corner of the universe, known as the Axis of the World. The Axis of the World embodies the supreme power of order. Anyone who can master it will reap immense rewards."
"The Axis of the World?"
"In the eyes of those above them, the universe can only be called a world. As for those smaller worlds, they see them as mere pockets within the universe. The Axis of the World, however, is the embodiment of the supreme power of order, encompassing virtually all worlds, large and small, that fall within the purview of that power."
After hearing Wuxiang Tongzi's explanation, Ming Qi suddenly realized that his vision was too narrow. Focusing solely on the vast world of Tianhuang, he was like a frog that only knew the world at the bottom of a well. The universe, enveloped by order, was truly a vast and boundless world.
"Can you sense the location of the Axis of the World?"
Since this Axis of the World is so mysterious, and sighting it could bring great rewards, this opportunity must not be missed.
"The Axis of the World is ethereal, at the pinnacle of the power of order, and impossible to trace. Perhaps it's right before your eyes, or perhaps you'll never see it in your lifetime. It all depends on chance."
Ming Qi pondered for a moment. It seemed that finding the Axis of the World was truly no easy task.
At this moment, a question suddenly occurred to him, and he asked, "Now that you possess the Supreme Map, does that mean the mark of the Supreme Being left within it no longer exists?"
This was a question he had always deeply worried about. If the mark persisted, it meant that the Supreme Being who left it could eliminate him at any moment's notice. With his life in the hands of others, he would never allow it to exist even for a second longer, if at all possible.
"Yes, the mark of the Supreme Being remains within the source of the Supreme Diagram. Now that the source of the Supreme Diagram has been completely shattered and reduced to nothingness, the mark of the Supreme Being naturally no longer exists."
Hearing Wuxiang Tongzi's affirmative answer, Ming Qi felt a sudden sense of relief. The heavy burden that had been weighing on his heart had finally been lifted. From now on, he no longer had to worry about the so-called mark of the Supreme Being.
"Great, great!"
Ming Qi didn't hide his emotions; he was genuinely delighted.
"There's one more thing you can consider," Wuxiang Tongzi said.
"What?"
"Remember when I told you that your fan could be re-refined?"
Ming Qi naturally remembered this. Speaking of which, he hadn't used the Small Five Elements Fan in a long time. As his strength grew, its power became less and less effective in battle.
"Remember."
"All the core materials can be found in this future Star Palace. Collect and prepare them, and you can begin refining them once you get out."
Ming Qi was stunned. "Can the materials in this Star Palace be taken?"
"Under normal circumstances, of course not. But with me here, it's no problem!"
Upon hearing this, Ming Qi was overjoyed. He hadn't expected the Wuxiang Boy to bring him such a surprise upon awakening. Any single piece of divine-level material from here would cause a sensation in the Tianhuang World, and from Wuxiang Boy's tone, it seemed like taking some wouldn't be a problem.
"But remember, don't take too much of any one kind."
"Okay!"
Ming Qi readily agreed. There were more than hundreds of different materials here. If he could take even a single piece of each, he'd probably instantly become one of the richest people in the Tianhuang World.
Then he had something to do. His plan was clear: while collecting materials, he'd see if he had the chance to encounter the World Axis.
