Chapter 109 The Crisis of the Panlong Universe
"Only a hundred years have passed; continue your cultivation."
There were still over 800 years until the millennium was reached, and Jeger was unwilling to waste any time. After briefly experiencing the feeling of breaking through, he calmed his excited mood and resumed his cultivation.
In a state of enlightenment, he replicated Gongyang Tenglong's understanding of the spatial laws, and Jiege's cultivation progressed very smoothly, with his understanding of the spatial laws continuously increasing.
The time spent cultivating was peaceful, and Jugg was undisturbed within the Ram Realm.
One hundred years, two hundred years...
In the blink of an eye, nearly a thousand years have passed since Jag entered the Ram Kingdom.
In the realm of rams, Jage has been in seclusion cultivating for nearly a million years.
For Jagger, these millions of years of progress are enormous.
He has already comprehended over 90% of the complete laws of space, and is not far from becoming a God-King.
Although it used up three enlightenment attempts, it was still worth it.
"I am now at the pinnacle of the upper gods." Jag felt the increase in his own strength.
Even now, he is confident that he can win against Gongyang Yu.
At this moment, the other clones of Jag in the Panlong Universe felt the increase in their strength even more clearly.
Panlong Universe.
hell.
Yuhan Mountain.
The Dark God's avatar, which was in seclusion, opened its eyes and spread its divine sense in all directions.
As his understanding of the laws of space deepened, coupled with the power of the will of the Panlong Universe, the range of his divine sense now far surpasses that of the main gods.
In the blink of an eye, Juggernaut's divine sense covered the entire hell.
The gods in Hell could not sense Jag's divine consciousness at all.
Deep within the Chaotic Sea, in a secluded palace, the Destroyer Uthered is studying the essence of the Four Divine Beasts.
He has had the essence of the Four Divine Beasts for over a million years.
In the original story, he created the "Space-Time Distortion" technique after obtaining the essence of the four divine beasts for more than 10,000 years, but Utred himself admitted that luck played a part.
This time, his luck was a little worse; it took him over 100,000 years to create the "time distortion".
In the original story, after Utrecht created the "time distortion," he challenged Of to a duel.
He felt that by using the technique of time-space distortion, he had a chance to defeat Of.
But this time, even after creating a spacetime distortion, Utrecht was still not satisfied and wanted to further enhance the power of this move.
Because his current target is not Ouf, but Jage.
After being easily defeated by Jag last time, he realized the huge gap between himself and Jag, a gap so large that even the trick of time distortion could not make up for it.
He will continue his research until he creates a move that could potentially surpass Jagger's.
Immersed in his research, Utrecht was completely unaware that Jagger's divine sense had already swept over him.
Jag didn't pay much attention to Utrecht; his divine sense continued to expand, covering the entire hell before stopping.
In the heavens, he discovered Ouf, who was perfecting "transcendence of reincarnation" in the Augu Garden.
In the underworld, he discovered the Lord of Death fishing beneath the Netherworld Mountain.
In the plane of the God of Light, he discovered Augusta enjoying herself.
Juggernaut's divine sense covered the four supreme planes and the seven divine planes.
Not only that, it continued to spread, passing through seemingly boundless spatial turbulence, before finally stopping in the area where the material plane was located.
Jage's current range of divine consciousness has reached an inconceivable level in the Panlong Universe. If other main gods knew this, they would be utterly astonished.
"This cosmic barrier is so fragile."
Jag sighed.
After becoming a god, he was able to sense the cosmic barrier of the Panlong Universe.
When he was a lower-level deity, the cosmic barrier appeared to him as solid as a wall in front of a mortal.
When he was a celestial being in the Central Region, he, as a mortal, became stronger, but the cosmic barrier was still an impenetrable wall.
Now, he felt that the cosmic barrier was like a newborn baby, and he was holding it carefully, not daring to use too much force, for fear of hurting the baby.
He is now not far from becoming a God-King. Once he breaks through to God-King, this cosmic barrier will probably be as fragile as paper, easily pierced.
The spatial laws of the upper gods, combined with the power of the will of the main god, have made Jeger invincible in the Panlong Universe.
Spirit world.
While feeling his strength improve, Jag also felt a little regretful.
"Unfortunately, there's less than a year left before we have to return to the Panlong Universe."
If he had a little more time, perhaps he could have achieved godhood in one fell swoop.
But it doesn't matter. After returning to the Panlong Universe, he can still comprehend cultivation, only without the time acceleration effect of the Gongyang Realm.
"It's time to go out."
Everything that happens in the Ram Realm will be sensed by the master of the Ram Realm, and Jage does not want to return to the Panlong Universe from here.
"Miss Yu."
Jag called out.
Before long, the space ahead began to fluctuate, and Gongyang Yu's figure appeared in front of Jiege.
"Guest Qiao, is there anything you need?" Gongyang Yu asked gently.
"I want to leave the Ram Realm. I'll have to trouble you, Miss Yu," Jage said with a smile.
"Oh? Guest Master Qiao hasn't been cultivating for very long, and he's already leaving?" Gongyang Yu asked in surprise.
Less than a thousand years have passed in the outside world. A thousand years is too short for a Celestial God. Of course, a million years have passed in the Gongyang Realm. However, it is very common for a Celestial God to go into seclusion for millions of years at a time. This little bit of time is nothing. Gongyang Yu originally thought that Jiege would cultivate for a longer time.
"Yes." Jag didn't explain further.
"Okay." Gongyang Yu didn't ask any more questions.
With a flash, Jugg disappeared from the Ram Realm and returned to the outside world, appearing in front of the Glazed Tower.
"Thank you for your help, Miss Yu." Jag bowed and expressed his gratitude.
"You're too kind, Mr. Qiao. If you'd like to come again, just let me know."
"Yes, thank you, Miss Yu."
After bidding farewell to Gongyang Yu, Jiege returned to his residence in the outer palace.
After closing the courtyard gate and entering the room, Jeger focused his mind on the wheel deep within his soul, preparing to communicate with the spatial passage to return to the Panlong Universe.
But as soon as he sensed the spatial passage on the roulette wheel, Jag's expression changed.
When Jeg returned to the God Realm a thousand years ago, he discovered signs that a spatial passage was faintly forming between the Panlong Universe and the God Realm of the Main Universe.
Because of his limited strength, he didn't investigate further at the time. Now, his strength is very close to that of a God-King, and his understanding of the laws of space has reached an extremely profound level. He can feel that the spatial passage on the roulette wheel has already taken shape.
In terms of strength, a God-King level expert can construct a stable spatial channel within the main universe, and a small number of Upper God level experts can also do so. With Jeg's current understanding of the laws of space, he can barely be considered to have reached the threshold for constructing a stable spatial channel.
However, this spatial passage is only constructed within the main universe and cannot involve the Panlong universe, a subsidiary universe.
But now, the spatial passage connecting the Panlong Universe and the main universe on the roulette wheel has taken shape.
Jag could sense that this spatial passage had three exits, one of which was in the roulette wheel deep within his soul, and only he could sense this exit.
The second one is in the White Bird Mine, which is where Jag appeared when he came to the God Realm.
A third exit is forming, and on the other side of that exit lies the Panlong Universe!
Panlong Universe.
Amidst the dazzling spatial turbulence, space suddenly began to fluctuate violently.
The spatial forces swirled, shredding the spatial turbulence and turning it into a deep black hole, the violent spatial forces spreading far and wide.
Jugg was the first to sense this spatial power.
Jage spread his divine sense, following the direction from which this spatial force came, covering the area where the black hole was located.
The countless planes of the Panlong Universe are mainly divided into two regions: the Supreme Plane, the God Plane, and the Material Plane.
This black hole appeared near the highest plane, the plane of gods.
Jag observed the black hole.
The black hole was formed entirely by spatial forces. After it appeared, the violent spatial forces gradually calmed down and eventually stabilized completely.
Within the spatial turbulence of the Panlong Universe, a deep black hole has appeared.
This black hole is a spatial passage, a spatial passage connecting the Panlong Universe and the main universe.
Although Jag had some suspicions when he arrived in the realm of gods for the second time, he was still shocked when he actually saw the spatial passage take shape.
At this moment, not only Juggernaut was shocked, but also the soldiers of the Death Legion under the command of the Lord of Skyfire City.
Spirit world.
Shiratori Mine.
A black hole with a diameter of more than ten meters appeared in the air about ten meters above the ground.
Surrounding him were a dozen or so soldiers from the Death Legion, all clad in black armor.
A thousand years ago, the Lord of Tianhuo City ordered the Death Legion to secretly search for the caves of powerful figures, centered on the White Bird Mine.
Although nothing has been gained in the past thousand years, the Lord of Tianhuo City has not given up and has arranged for a squad of suicide soldiers to stay at the White Bird Mine year-round.
The moment the spatial passage was formed, this squad of assassins discovered it.
"Quickly, notify the master!"
The soldiers of this suicide squad immediately reported to the Lord of Skyfire City via telepathy.
They are controlled by the soul of the City Lord of Heavenly Fire and can directly use soul transmission, which is more convenient than divine sense transmission.
Skyfire City.
"What? A spatial portal?"
The Lord of Skyfire City was somewhat taken aback when he heard the report from the soldiers of the Death Squad.
"Where did this spatial passage come from?"
"Formed suddenly?"
The Lord of Skyfire City's expression gradually turned serious. The Death Squad was controlled by his soul and was absolutely loyal to him, so he naturally wouldn't doubt that the Death Squad's report was false.
"Could it be a spatial passage built by that brat Gongyang Tenglong? No, it can't be. If he were to build a passage, he would place it in Gongyang City."
The Lord of Skyfire City pondered.
"This White Bird Mine is where Peng Chi first met Qiao Jie. Could the other side of the spatial passage be the cave dwelling of that powerful figure?"
The Lord of Tianhuo City couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
However, he did not lose his composure. He would not rush into a suddenly appearing spatial passage without first sending someone to scout ahead.
"Enter the spatial passage immediately and investigate."
The Lord of Skyfire City transmitted his voice to the captain of the assassin squad at White Bird Mine.
These people are absolutely loyal to him, so even if the other side of the spatial passage is indeed the cave of a powerful figure, he is not worried that these people will devour the treasures.
"Yes, Master."
This squad of assassins consisted of only a dozen or so people, and their leader was a bald man whose strength was that of a lower-level celestial being.
"You stay here and keep watch."
After giving his instructions, the bald man flew into the black hole.
Panlong Universe, spatial turbulence.
The bald man flew out of the black hole.
From entering the spatial passage to exiting, it's actually just a matter of a moment.
As soon as the bald man left the spatial passage, he immediately began to cautiously observe his surroundings.
Although he was controlled by a soul and would not disobey the Lord of Tianhuo City's orders, it did not mean that he did not cherish his own life.
He was naturally extremely cautious about entering a spatial passage that led to an unknown destination.
The bald man hovered in the spatial turbulence, which could easily shred most of the matter in the Panlong Universe, but it did not cause him any harm.
As the bald man unleashed his divine sense to survey his surroundings, he also reported to the Lord of Heavenly Fire City via soul transmission.
"Master, the spatial constraints here are very weak, far less than those in the God Realm. It should be a cosmic space in the lower realm."
"The lower realm?" The Lord of Skyfire City was stunned. The cave dwellings of powerful figures were in the lower realm?
"Are there any living beings? Have you discovered any treasures?" the Lord of Skyfire City asked.
The bald man spread his divine sense and quickly discovered the four supreme planes and seven divine planes not far away.
However, his spiritual sense range was not as large as Juggernaut's, so he could only get close to him.
He randomly chose a plane to enter, which was the plane of the God of Light.
After entering the plane of the God of Light, his divine sense covered the entire plane.
"Master, this place is strange. There are many living beings here, but they are weaker than those in the God Realm. However, they are much stronger than those in other universes in the lower realm. Many of these beings are at the level of preparing gods."
"Many at the level of preparing gods?" The Lord of Heavenly Fire City frowned slightly. Such a universe was indeed rare. Generally speaking, those at the level of preparing gods would undergo divine tribulation and ascend to the God Realm. There wouldn't be many such beings in the lower universe.
Just then, the Lord of Heavenly Fire City heard the bald man's exclamation in his mind.
"Hmm? Master, there are also Celestial God level experts here!"
The plane of the God of Light.
When the bald man's divine sense covered the entire divine plane, several main gods of the Light God Plane also discovered his divine sense.
"Who are you?" Augusta shouted telepathically.
The main gods of the Light lineage, led by Augusta, were all utterly shocked.
They sensed the bald man's divine sense and realized that his strength was no weaker than that of a main god, but they could not sense any aura of a main god on him.
"How is this possible?"
The same question arose in the minds of several of the main gods at the same time.
In Hell, Jag was using his divine sense to observe the bald man's actions.
As soon as the bald man arrived in the Panlong Universe, he spotted him and recognized him as a member of the Skyfire City Death Squad.
That's why he didn't rush to show himself.
"How did the Skyfire City's suicide squad manage to arrive in the Panlong Universe so quickly through the spatial portal?"
Jag was very puzzled.
He was unaware that the Lord of Tianhuo City had long ago dispatched a legion of assassins to search for the powerful cave he had fabricated.
According to Jag, the entrance to the spatial passage in the divine realm is at the White Bird Mine, which is closer to Gongyang City.
At this time, Gongyang City had not yet discovered this spatial passage, but Tianhuo City had, which was very abnormal.
While Jag was wondering, in the plane of the God of Light, Augusta was already fighting with the bald man.
Augusta, wielding a white longsword, unleashed streaks of sword light, easily suppressing the bald man.
Jag was not surprised by this.
"Although the lower-level gods do not possess the will and power of the Panlong Universe, they are almost as powerful as lower-level main gods due to their understanding of the laws of space."
Jag travels between the God Realm and the Panlong Universe, and has a basic understanding of the power balance between the two.
In general, because they cannot cultivate the laws of space and time, the powerful beings in the Panlong Universe are not as strong as those in the God Realm.
The powerful beings of the upper gods are roughly equivalent to the preparatory gods of the god realm, but the Seven Star Demons, the commanders, and even those at the Great Perfection level have more powerful special moves due to their understanding of the rules and laws, and their actual combat strength is much higher than that of the preparatory gods.
Although the main god cannot use the laws of space, because the main god's divine core contains endless will power, it can fight against the celestial gods in the Panlong Universe.
The lower-level chief gods are roughly equivalent to the lower-level celestial gods.
The central chief god is equivalent to the central celestial god.
The superior deity is equivalent to the upper-level celestial deity.
As the Lord of Light, Augusta's combat power in the Panlong Universe is comparable to that of a high-level celestial being. Dealing with the bald man, a low-level celestial being, would naturally be a piece of cake.
However, Augusta did not kill him.
While suppressing the bald man, he transmitted his thoughts to Auf.
"Ouf, this guy is very strange. He not only lacks the power of a main god, but also the power of his will, yet his strength is comparable to that of a lower-level main god!"
Ouf and Augusta were originally one person. Since Augusta was fighting the bald man, he naturally knew about the battle. He quickly recognized that the bald man's strength relied on the laws of space!
"How is this possible? There is actually a race in this world that can wield the laws of space to such an extent!"
Auf was both surprised and delighted.
"Augusta, please don't kill him! I need to study everything about him carefully. If I can master his abilities, I'm sure I can surpass Jaeger!"
"I know, come over here right away!"
"immediately!"
As they spoke, Auf had already arrived at the dimensional teleportation array of the Celestial Realm and was heading to the Dimension of the God of Light through the array.
At the same time, the main gods of other supreme planes and divine planes also received the news and rushed to the plane of the God of Light.
In the realm of the God of Light, the bald man was no match for Augusta and could only escape into the spatial turbulence, hoping to return to the divine realm through a spatial passage.
"You can't escape!"
Augusta cultivated the Law of Light and was most skilled in speed, easily catching up with the bald man.
The main gods of various systems also entered the spatial turbulence.
Upon discovering the presence of so many main gods, the bald man's expression changed slightly, and he immediately sent a telepathic message to the Lord of Heavenly Fire City.
"Master, this universe is very special. There are dozens of powerful celestial beings, and even some upper-level celestial beings. I am no match for them."
"Dozens of celestial gods? And even higher-level celestial gods?" The Lord of Heavenly Fire City was even more shocked.
"For a lower-level universe to have so many powerful celestial beings, it must be extraordinary. It might even hold some incredible treasures!"
The Lord of Tianhuo City could no longer restrain himself. A group of gods posed no threat to him; he could easily annihilate them with a flick of his hand.
The Lord of Heavenly Fire City covered the entire Heavenly Fire City with his divine sense, and teleported repeatedly, bringing all the upper-level Heavenly God powerhouses under his command with him. In just a few breaths, he arrived at the White Bird Mine.
"We need to finish this quickly, without letting that brat Gongyang Tenglong find out."
The Lord of Tianhuo City, along with seven Upper Celestial Gods, entered the black hole directly.
The existence of the spatial passage could not be concealed. Lord Tianhuo City knew that Gongyang Tenglong would discover the spatial passage sooner or later. What he had to do was to get the treasure before that happened!
Panlong Universe, spatial turbulence.
Dozens of main gods surrounded the bald man. They could all tell that the bald man was only a lower-level celestial being and posed no threat to them.
But they were all very curious about how the bald man possessed the power of a supreme god.
"Who are you? How can you wield such powerful spatial laws?"
Auf stared intently at the bald man.
"Why can you use the laws of space? What are you talking about? I can cultivate, so naturally I can use them too!" the bald man said calmly.
He knew that the Lord of Tianhuo City was about to arrive, so he was not flustered and was happy to stall for time through conversation.
"You can cultivate the laws of space?"
The gods were in an uproar. It was a consensus that the Panlong Universe could not cultivate the laws of space, and at most, one could touch upon them through innate divine powers and abilities. This had been the consensus for countless years, and there had never been any exceptions.
"No, perhaps there is an exception!" At this moment, Auf suddenly thought of Jage. When he fought with Jage, he discovered that Jage could also use the laws of space, but he did not know whether it was Jage's innate ability or Jage's own cultivation.
Moreover, Jag was also a main god, and the spatial law power he used at that time was not as strong as the bald man's at that time. Most of Jag's power came from the power of his will, so Auf was not as shocked as he is now.
Thinking of this, Auf was surprised to find that Jag hadn't come.
"Doesn't he know that a mysterious master has appeared?"
Auf found it strange, but he didn't think too much about it. At the moment, he was most interested in the bald man in front of him.
"Everyone, leave him to me. Among countless planes, there should be no one more skilled at research than me," said Ouf.
Utrecht sneered, "Ouf, it's precisely because we know you're good at research that we can't entrust it to you. If you were to develop his abilities, wouldn't you far surpass us?"
The Lord of Death and the Lord of Life nodded simultaneously.
Ouf frowned: "I'm going to have this guy, don't force me."
He, who was usually gentle and calm, became unusually tough at this moment. He couldn't help it; he craved the power of the spatial laws too much.
"If I could master the mysteries of space, perhaps I could truly break free from the shackles of this universe!" Of was filled with excitement. For the first time in countless years, he felt so close to his long-held dream.
"This person, relying on the power of the laws of space, is comparable to a lower-level main god. If I could master this power, and combine it with the power of my will, then..."
Ouf could no longer imagine how powerful he would become.
"Ouf, this person is not for you," Utrecht said coldly.
After creating the spacetime distortion, although he knew he was no match for Jag, Of was not Jag, and he had not yet reached the point where he could not muster the will to fight.
The ruler of life, "Vivia," spoke up: "Ouf, how about this? You swear an oath to the Supreme God that whatever you research on him, you will unconditionally share it with us. As long as you are willing to swear this oath, we will agree to hand him over to you for research."
Utrecht and the Lord of Death both raised an eyebrow, neither refuting Vivia's suggestion.
Ouf is indeed better than them in research. If Ouf is willing to share his findings, they would naturally be happy to hand over the bald man to Ouf for research.
Ouf hesitated, weighing the pros and cons.
Augusta, representing the other side of Of's personality, was very unwilling. He felt extremely unbalanced that he had to share his hard work with others and did not want to agree to the proposal.
However, this psychological imbalance was insignificant to Ouf. What he wanted most, from beginning to end, was to break free from the shackles of the universe; everything else could be put aside.
Utrecht and the others watched Auf patiently, without urging him on.
Suddenly, everyone's expression changed drastically, and they all turned to look in one direction. They sensed eight powerful auras flying rapidly towards them from that direction.
