“What has master understood?” Morosa, who was serving nearby, heard his master’s soft whisper.

Morosa was somewhat puzzled. He could tell his master was immersed in a state of enlightenment and dared not disturb him. He carefully guarded the area, strictly prohibiting any other beings from approaching, so as not to interfere with his master.

At this moment, Luo Feng’s ‘Eye of Creation and Destruction’ on his brow observed the Origin Core of the Source World. The secret pattern diagrams of the materials from 31 Ancestor corpses appeared in his mind for comparison. No wonder a Source World controlled by a World-level Primal Chaos Life could fearlessly face four Primal Chaos Ancestors using its own power. This was because the Source World and Primal Chaos Ancestors were inherently existences of the same level! Luo Feng understood.

A common Source World was like a massive physical body without a soul. With a master, it gained a soul! Even a single Primal Chaos Ancestor couldn’t overcome it in a one-on-one fight!

“I finally understand why all naturally born Primal Chaos Lifeforms possess a ‘Life Core,’ even those at the Ancestor level!” Luo Feng mused. For naturally born Primal Chaos Lifeforms, everything else could be discarded; only the Life Core was paramount. Once it shattered, it meant complete annihilation!

“I used to believe the Life Core was a huge weakness for naturally born Primal Chaos Lifeforms, an imperfection from their natural gestation!” Luo Feng had thought this for a very long time. Cultivators, through their own enlightenment, had no Life Cores, thus lacking this immense weakness. The Life Core was a vital point for naturally born Primal Chaos Lifeforms. Ancestors had fallen before, and it was always due to this vulnerable Life Core.

“The Life Core is actually the reason for their boundless potential!” Luo Feng realized at this moment. The Life Core was also another form of origin. Each of these naturally born Primal Chaos Lifeforms possessed an origin from birth. Luo Feng also understood why cultivators on the bloodline path required special resources.

For cultivators to achieve High-level Primal Chaos Life, they needed to refine High-level Primal Chaos bloodlines. To become World-level Primal Chaos Life, they needed to refine World-level Primal Chaos bloodlines. But what about naturally born Primal Chaos Lifeforms? It was very difficult for them to obtain a higher-level bloodline. Even getting a single drop of blood bestowed by a high-level entity was rare. Even if they didn’t obtain high-level blood, they could naturally evolve just by eating and drinking. Some could even become Ancestors simply by consuming the Origin Core of a Primal Chaos World! Cultivators on the bloodline path valued Primal Chaos bloodlines the most and had developed many methods to extract them, but they were unable to extract complete Ancestor-level bloodlines.

“However, for naturally born Primal Chaos Lifeforms, their core is not their bloodline, but their Life Core! The growth of the Life Core brings about the evolution of life itself. Every step of the Life Core’s growth triggers the evolution of their bloodline!”

“This is why the power of a God-Emperor in the early stage differs from that in the middle stage, and their Primal Chaos bloodlines also manifest differently!” Luo Feng fully understood. The Life Core was the fundamental root; the bloodline was merely the external manifestation of their life level! Cultivators could not truly utilize the Life Core; they could only extract the externally manifested Primal Chaos bloodlines.

Luo Feng sighed with emotion. Naturally born Primal Chaos Lifeforms were truly the darlings of the infinite Primal Chaos space, born with a “Life Core.” This Life Core would continuously grow through various opportunities, eventually reaching a level comparable to the Origin Core of a Source World. Reaching this stage meant becoming an Ancestor-level existence!

“This is the secret of the highest level of life!”

Ancestor-level lifeforms and Source Worlds both possessed an origin. Lords should also possess an origin! The origins of the former two manifested in a materialized form! For Lords, their origin was the Primal Chaos-level ‘Dao.’ As long as their Dao was not extinguished, they themselves would not perish. Therefore, any Lord-level lifeform was immortal.

Luo Feng understood the difference between them. Ancestors’ origins were their Life Cores, which were clearly vulnerable points. Lords’ origins were their Dao, invisible, intangible, immortal, and indestructible!

Even Lords had weaknesses. Luo Feng had gathered some information and knew the difference between Primal Chaos Ancestors and cultivator Lords. Primal Chaos Ancestors generally had very large bodies, while Lords typically had smaller physiques. Of course, this was an average observation. Ancestor-level physical bodies were generally much larger than Lord-level physical bodies. The Life Core was a physical, material existence! It could continuously accumulate power and sustain a sufficiently massive physical body! Lords had no materialized origin and limited accumulated power within themselves, thus generally having smaller physiques!

If given a choice, Luo Feng believed those Ancestors would rather have smaller bodies and no vulnerable Life Cores, thus achieving true immortality!

“My Path of Creation and Destruction focuses on life as primary and destruction as secondary. I have now glimpsed the highest mysteries of life. If I thoroughly comprehend its essence, even if I were to show it to the other seven Lords, they would find it difficult to discern how dozens of different Dao mysteries combine to form an origin!”

“Each path has its specialization. The current seven Lords cultivate paths like Destruction, Thunder, or Fluctuation, but none of them specialize in life. The origin is the highest mystery of life; without sufficient accumulation and terrifying comprehension in this area, it’s simply impossible to perceive this path!”

Luo Feng’s understanding of the semi-Primal Chaos Path of Creation and Destruction, combined with his comprehension of over 50 million low-level Primal Chaos bloodlines, over 30 million high-level Primal Chaos bloodlines, research into over 2,000 types of World-level Primal Chaos bloodlines, and materials from 31 Ancestor corpses, provided him with sufficiently deep accumulation and extraordinary comprehension to glimpse this path. Thus, Luo Feng gained the possibility of becoming a Lord.

No wonder any Ancestor possesses at least 10% life mysteries within their body, because the mysteries formed by the Life Core are primarily based on life mysteries! Luo Feng also felt fortunate about this. Only by focusing on the path of life could he hope to glimpse the mysteries of the origin. If he had focused on destruction, the difficulty of using brute force to break through would likely have increased significantly, and such a method also required luck. Luo Feng pondered this. For him, comprehending the semi-Primal Chaos Path of Creation and Destruction, though encountering some minor bottlenecks, didn’t feel like a great hardship; he succeeded in less than ten thousand eras. However, merely glimpsing the path of using brute force gave Luo Feng a sense that it would require luck.

“In the future, I can completely construct billions of origin lifeforms within my body. The Ancestors’ Life Cores are natural, but if I understand the underlying Dao, I can comprehend that the physique can artificially create origins. It would be like opening countless ‘heavenly grotto’ spaces within my body, and by the same principle, creating billions of origins!”

“On one hand, I need to eliminate the fatal weaknesses of the origin; even losing thousands of origins would have minimal impact on me. On the other hand, I want to leverage the advantages of the origin: billions of origins can accumulate incredibly vast energy, granting me an immensely powerful physical body!”

“To achieve this, one must not only cultivate the Dao but also fully comprehend the essence of life’s Dao.”

If a Lord could comprehend the Primal Chaos Life Dao, their body would also become the most massive, vibrant, and difficult-to-destroy existence in the entire infinite Primal Chaos space. Luo Feng’s Primal Chaos Path of Creation and Destruction, after all, primarily focused on life. His path more strongly reflected the characteristics of the life direction, while the destruction direction was relatively weaker.

He was in the quiet chamber of a mountain-top dwelling on Primal Chaos Island, in the ‘Land of Origins’. The endlessly vast secret pattern diagrams of the 31 Ancestor-level materials floated before Luo Feng’s brow. His Eye of Creation and Destruction opened, observing intently.

“I’ve seen the path, but I must walk it myself. Only by reaching its end can I truly grasp its Dao!” Luo Feng clearly understood how difficult it would be to both remove the vital weaknesses of the origin and leverage its ability to accumulate endless energy. Yet, this was the direction he truly sought.

What seemed like scattered secret patterns were, in fact, unified within the Primal Chaos Path of Creation and Destruction. Besides the existing Mind/Consciousness, Life, Destruction, Primal Chaos Energy, and Physical Body systems, a sixth system emerged: the Origin System! The Origin System was even more central. Luo Feng diligently studied the secret patterns of the materials from the 31 Ancestor corpses, researching how the origin combined and formed. After all, his future self would combine the mysteries of life and destruction. These Ancestors, however, combined numerous Dao mysteries, which he could not simply imitate; he had to comprehend their essence.

Observing the same thing from different angles yielded different insights. Luo Feng now observed the secret patterns of the 31 Ancestor-level materials from the perspective of the Origin System, gaining a completely new understanding! His Origin System, like a seed, began to absorb nourishment from these 31 Ancestors and grew robustly.

This time, Luo Feng spent even more meticulous time, comprehending it again and again. He meticulously examined different materials from the 31 Ancestors, forgetting the passage of time. He only felt his various accumulations increasing, and his Origin System gradually began to take shape!

“That’s enough!” Suddenly, one day, Luo Feng stopped. He had studied most of the various materials from the 31 Ancestors and was now extremely familiar with them.

“My six major systems of the Primal Chaos Path of Creation and Destruction have all accumulated profound understanding!” Although Luo Feng had not yet begun to create the Primal Chaos Path of Creation and Destruction, the six major systems were naturally integrating within his mind, and he even had a vague sense of the complete path. “I have already comprehended all these low-level and high-level Primal Chaos bloodlines!”

“However, out of 2729 types of World-level Primal Chaos bloodlines, I have only comprehended 43. I have studied Ancestor-level materials for over a billion eras. Now, let’s see how many of the remaining 2299 World-level Primal Chaos bloodlines I can comprehend!”

Luo Feng pulled up an uncomprehended World-level Primal Chaos bloodline and its auxiliary materials. He studied it for less than a day!

“Interesting!” With his current perspective, Luo Feng re-examined the World-level Primal Chaos bloodlines and discovered a new mystery, a smile appearing on his face! Even at the World-level Primal Chaos stage, the secret mysteries within their bodies had already begun to form an origin!

However, the origins formed by the secret patterns within them were incomplete. The origins composed of Ancestor-level secret patterns were complete, comparable to a Source World’s Origin Core. World-level secret patterns were indeed forming origins, but these incomplete origins were very difficult to detect! Luo Feng only noticed this after his accumulation in the Origin System became sufficiently deep!
