Chapter 331 A Thousand Years in a Snap of the Fingers
He had already prepared himself mentally, but after returning to the Immortal Spirit Valley, he found that Chen Xingcai had suddenly taken an interest in educating disciples. She had not even returned to see him for several days in a row.
Remembering how a bright voice would rush in shouting "Daddy" every two days, a rare trace of sourness arose in Chen Chang'an's heart. He never expected that in this world, he could actually experience the feeling of an empty-nester.
On another note, as the last batch of mortals migrated into the Spirit World, Chen Chang'an finally found something to keep himself occupied.
Ever since the Heaven Stele Grand Gathering, Ji Wuque's threat had been like a sharp sword hanging over his head. Although it had not yet fallen, it constantly caused palpitations.
Therefore, the affairs of the Spirit World needed to be dealt with as soon as possible. Only when the Spirit World truly evolved into a complete Lesser Thousand Worlds would the Immortal Spirit Holy Land have a true foundation for establishing the sect.
When the time came, no matter what great calamity of heaven and earth occurred, he could lead the entire sect into the Lesser Thousand Worlds to hide. Once the dust settled, they could emerge again to reopen the mountain.
Of course, if one happened to be the protagonist of such a calamity, it would naturally be unavoidable, and not even a Lesser Thousand Worlds would be of use.
"Evolve a Lesser Thousand Worlds, huh..."
Chen Chang'an murmured to himself, his fingertips gently swiping through the void. A stream of spiritual light flowed, manifesting the phantom of a world — it was precisely the Spirit World.
The Spirit World had now become the new home for over three million eight hundred thousand mortals.
However, Chen Chang'an's gaze did not linger on those villages that were just taking shape. His sight penetrated the myriad phenomena of the mortal realm, reaching straight to the depths of the world's origin.
In those eyes, countless intertwined laws of heaven and earth were reflected, shimmering as brilliantly and profoundly as a galaxy.
As he lifted his fingertips slightly, an invisible ripple spread from the void.
In an instant, the laws of heaven and earth in the Spirit World were rewritten, and the trajectories of the sun and moon were re-outlined in a single thought of his.
In the snap of a finger, a whole day had already passed in the Spirit World.
Feeling the consumption of Immortal Essence within his body, Chen Chang'an felt slightly reassured.
The next moment, he took a deep breath and suddenly formed a hand seal —
"Dong —"
A sound like a bell tolling from ancient times echoed within the wooden house. That sound penetrated time and space, as if it had existed since the prehistoric era.
The Immortal Essence within Chen Chang'an's body was completely drained at this moment.
And in this snap of a finger —
The mountains and rivers of the Spirit World began a silent transformation.
Vast seas turned into mulberry fields, and plains rose up to become mountains.
Mortal villages evolved into prosperous city-states amidst generations of inheritance, only to turn into the dust of history under the scouring of time.
The sparks of civilization flickered within the river of time, ultimately gathering into a brilliant galaxy.
Inside the Spirit World.
One thousand years had passed —
Wiping the sweat from his face, Chen Chang'an fixed the flow of time again.
One thousand years was obviously not enough, but this was already his current limit.
To accelerate the flow of time in the Spirit World again, he would have to wait at least seven days for a full recovery.
Upon reaching the Immortal Venerable Realm, general recovery methods were of little use. Even the finest pills in the Lower Realm could not compare to a single natural breath of his.
However, all of this was worth it!
"In this way, the evolution speed of the Spirit World will far exceed normal logic."
Chen Chang'an's gaze was deep.
"A hundred years from now (in the Lower Realm), the Spirit World may have evolved complete rules and become a true world."
Currently, the Spirit World is just like an egg.
The space inside the egg is the size of the entire Spirit World.
To prevent mortals from realizing the limits of heaven and earth, Chen Chang'an used supreme magic power to evolve the surroundings of the Spirit World into a vast ocean wrapped in mist.
The sun, moon, and stars in the sky are not real celestial bodies, but rules established by magic power.
And only when the Spirit World evolves into a complete Lesser Thousand Worlds will it be the time for this egg to break its shell. By then, the entire Spirit World will become a true world, and its size will naturally be infinite.
However, due to the suppression of the Greater Thousand Worlds' rules, the highest cultivation attainable by mortals within the Spirit World is only the Celestial Being Realm.
Sipping a mouthful of tea, looking at the Spirit World which was now completely different from a thousand years ago, Chen Chang'an couldn't help but feel a spark of interest.
Subsequently, without hesitation, he extended his Divine Consciousness into it —
