## Chapter 259: Episode Six – Organizing the Knowledge System
Luo Feng sat cross-legged within the Star Tower, the “Eye of Creation and Destruction” on his forehead opening, observing the Origin Continent and even the endless Primal Chaos streams beyond it.
“With a single glance, I can observe the entire Source World, even seeing beyond its borders… Is this the observational ability of a high-level Primal Chaos lifeform?” Luo Feng mused.
He held a clear understanding of his own limitations.
Although the “Eye of Creation and Destruction” was refined from the corpse of a complete World-level Primal Chaos lifeform, the “Creation-Destruction Eye Beast,” he was still the one using it. His actual observational abilities were likely far from reaching the World-level Primal Chaos lifeform’s capabilities.
From the myriad of information within the Infinite Space Treasure Vault, Luo Feng could discern that Primal Chaos Ancestors, World-level Primal Chaos lifeforms, high-level Primal Chaos lifeforms, and low-level Primal Chaos lifeforms were ranked in descending order of status.
The differences between each level were vast.
In Luo Feng’s estimation, with the observational abilities of a World-level Primal Chaos lifeform, the two Ancestors and the Eastern Region Ancestor would be seen “clearly, without any secrets.”
“For a lifeform within a cage like myself to possess the observational abilities of a high-level Primal Chaos lifeform, this ‘Eye of Creation and Destruction’ is already an invaluable treasure.” Luo Feng ceased his observation of the outside world and turned his gaze inward.
*Whoosh.*
The Eye of Creation and Destruction on Luo Feng’s forehead first observed the deep-layered secret patterns of the Star Tower.
*Boom!*
An ordinary person on Earth observing something with the naked eye, through a microscope, or with X-rays would perceive different things.
The same principle applied.
Luo Feng, as a God King of the second realm, possessing the mental will of a God Emperor, originally observed the Star Tower’s deep-layered secret patterns one way, but the patterns he saw now through the “Eye of Creation and Destruction” were vastly different.
“This, this…” Luo Feng was somewhat astonished by what he saw with the Eye of Creation and Destruction.
The deep-layered secret patterns of the Star Tower existed simultaneously in multiple spacetime dimensions, resembling a magnificent spacetime structure. The innermost layer of this structure existed in a state of frozen time! The blood-red scales were eternally fixed at a certain point in time!
Time Locked! Eternally Unchanging!
No matter how long the outside world passed, the blood-red scales remained as they were from the very beginning.
“Too beautiful.”
Luo Feng watched intently.
The blood-red scales, with edges radiating a twelve-colored light, were eternally undying, with time and space collapsing into a fixed point.
From this core point outwards, space gradually unfolded.
As space unfolded and took shape, time began to flow slowly.
The workings of these secret patterns existed simultaneously on every constantly flowing timeline.
Viewing different spaces generally required the Space Origin Dao to reach an extremely high level.
Viewing different timelines also required a high level of comprehension of the Time Dao.
Yet Luo Feng, with his “Eye of Creation and Destruction,” could effortlessly see all of this, even the most hidden information could not escape his gaze.
“In my previous years, I comprehended nine types of ‘Eight-Branch Fusion Techniques’,” Luo Feng gently shook his head. “Looking at it now, my vision was too shallow. My techniques have too many weaknesses.”
Luo Feng flipped his hand and consumed a Primal Chaos Crystal as if it were a piece of candy, then focused on the study of the Star Tower’s deep-layered secret patterns.
“I need to reorganize the accumulated knowledge system I have of the paths of Life, Destruction, and Creation-Destruction,” Luo Feng began his research.
The Eye of Creation and Destruction merely assisted Luo Feng, allowing him to see information that high-level Primal Chaos lifeforms could easily perceive.
But how to analyze this information?
How to thoroughly study it and then integrate it into his own path, making it a part of his own “Great Dao?”
This required comprehension.
This was why Senior Yuan and the others had selected the most outstanding geniuses from countless worlds. If their talent wasn’t sufficient, even if resources were placed in their hands, they would only waste them. The previous twelve redeemers of the “Eye of Creation and Destruction” were considered highly talented, but their achievements were only ordinary.
For Yuan and the others, becoming a World-level Primal Chaos lifeform was something to rejoice over. As for having one more high-level Primal Chaos lifeform? It was insignificant.
Luo Feng had only been in the Origin Continent for eight hundred epochs, yet he had already reached his current level of accumulation. His talent was undoubtedly far beyond that of the previous generations of experts in the Origin Continent.
…
Within the Thunder Ancient Kingdom’s sacred ground, “Thunder Mountain,” in the ancient space where the Ancestor resided.
“The remains of special lifeforms from the depths of the Dream Domain, the remains of special lifeforms from deep within the Sky Pillar Realm, I have accumulated six pieces in total. I sold them off one by one over a long period, and now I only have one left.” The Thunder Ancestor looked at a golden finger bone before him.
“Throughout the eras of the Origin Continent, I have cultivated Monarchs to help me collect treasures.”
“All kinds of rare and exotic treasures, various secret treasures.”
“They have also helped me reach the peak of the God Emperor Realm.” The Thunder Ancestor’s eyes were cold. “I have observed ‘high-level Primal Chaos lifeform’ prisoners many times! I have even personally dissected their corpses. I have exchanged information with experts from many worlds.”
“But…”
“How do I achieve Ultimate Awakening? I still have no clue!”
The Thunder Ancestor looked at the golden finger bone before him, the last piece of special lifeform remains, and the most important to him.
He gazed at the golden finger bone, his mental will penetrating it, allowing him to see the lightning secret patterns contained within, vaguely seeing a towering behemoth.
“Senior Yuan once told me personally that my breakthrough opportunity lies in this finger bone! As long as I comprehend a bit of the surface, I can achieve Ultimate Awakening.” The Thunder Ancestor was quite frustrated.
“A bit of the surface?” The Thunder Ancestor was in great pain. “It’s right in front of me, but I’ve studied it for several eras and am still completely clueless.”
In truth, the Thunder Ancestor had long since realized that his comprehension was weak. It took him dozens of times longer than the Flamewind Ancestor to reach the Ultimate Realm. He had even been unable to comprehend the ‘Dao of the God Emperor Realm!’ So he abandoned the path of the Dao Comprehender and switched to cultivating Primal Chaos bloodlines.
The Primal Chaos bloodline was indeed much easier. As long as one could unearth the potential of the bloodline, one could reach this point today with enough time and resources, plus some opportunities.
“Even though we are both at the God Emperor’s peak, those most terrifying beings could destroy me with a single palm.” The Thunder Ancestor was very aware of the difference.
The God Emperor’s peak was only the half-Primal Chaos level! The differences between them could still be great.
God Emperor peaks of the Dao Comprehender lineage were naturally much stronger.
Among the experts of billions of worlds, there were even more astonishing individuals! They could elevate more than one Dao to the ‘half-Primal Chaos level!’ There were even those who could begin to fuse different ‘half-Primal Chaos Daos,’ and even those who could unearth the power of World-level Primal Chaos bloodlines…
Those beings were truly astonishing and brilliant!
Among those beings, some had jumped out of the cage to become high-level Primal Chaos lifeforms! And it was even rumored that some had jumped out of the cage to become World-level Primal Chaos lifeforms!
Compared to those beings, the Thunder Ancestor was just an insignificant member standing in the corner.
“I have no clue at all.” The Thunder Ancestor looked at the finger bone before him, calmed his mind, and continued to study and ponder it carefully.
…
On Thunder Mountain.
Two Monarchs gathered.
“Whitemane, you have quite the nerve.” A man with blue and white scales all over his body and three scaled tails, possessing a holy appearance, looked displeased at the pale-skinned old man beside him. “Aside from some marginal small countries, you have even sent subordinates to capture tribe after tribe in some wilderness areas within our Thunder Ancient Kingdom.”
“Monarch Blueblossom, you managed to discover this?” Monarch Whitemane smiled slightly. “The subordinates I sent were very careful, scattered throughout the various Chaos Provinces of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom, with very little commotion. None of the other Monarchs discovered it, but you did.”
Monarch Blueblossom frowned. “It’s one thing to act against some marginal countries, but why are you acting against our own Ancient Kingdom?”
“The entire Origin Continent will be destroyed in the future, and the living beings of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom will almost all die.” Monarch Whitemane didn’t care. “Since that’s the case, what does it matter if I capture some living beings in some wilderness areas of our Thunder Ancient Kingdom?”
“Blueblossom, you also know that the Galactic Divine Kingdom has occupied a large swath of territory. The territory suitable for us to plunder is getting smaller and smaller, and you are also sending subordinates to plunder… After thinking about it, I can only take action within our own Ancient Kingdom.” Whitemane chuckled. “Our Ancient Kingdom is vast enough! As long as we don’t cause a big commotion, no one will care.”
Monarch Blueblossom looked at this companion.
He was envious.
“You can take action together too,” Whitemane said with a smile.
“Keep the commotion small,” Monarch Blueblossom said, “Don’t attack any large cities. As for the wilderness areas… let’s divide them between us, each taking half of the Chaos Provinces. The cumulative number of living beings we plunder cannot exceed one-tenth of those in the wilderness areas.”
“You’re still ruthless enough, I’m plundering far less than one-tenth,” Monarch Whitemane laughed heartily.
…
These two Monarchs of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom, “Monarch Blueblossom” and “Monarch Whitemane,” were very careful when sending their subordinates to plunder! Moreover, the Origin Continent was already full of strife and warfare, and even those within the Thunder Ancient Kingdom didn’t notice the problem in the short term.
However, as time slowly passed.
Especially since the plundering throughout the Thunder Ancient Kingdom eventually caused a series of chain reactions. After all, those tribes in the wilderness areas also had members who hunted outside, and members who went to settle in large cities.
So, when tribe after tribe was plundered, it still attracted the investigation of many survivors, and the commotion of the investigation became larger and larger, with even the royal family’s God Kings becoming involved.
…
In the Galactic Divine Kingdom, in the capital city.
“What audacity!” Emperor Guixu looked at the intelligence in his hand, enraged. He looked at Divine King Wuxin on the side. “Wuxin, are you sure there are no problems with the intelligence you collected?”
“You know my skills in stealth.” Divine King Wuxin scoffed. “The Thunder Ancient Kingdom has already started to stir, and originally, the Thunder Ancient Kingdom’s royal family’s God Kings were already enraged and pursuing this matter, but then there was no follow-up, and I knew something was wrong.”
“I was also very curious about who was so audacious. Such plundering is not only offending the Thunder Ancient Kingdom, but also offending the Master of the Galactic Kingdom.”
“Out of curiosity, I investigated carefully, and haha, it turned out that they were internal thieves of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom.” Divine King Wuxin shook his head. “Those Eternal Gods responsible for the plundering, I traced them to Monarch Whitemane and Monarch Blueblossom. These subordinates of these two Monarchs are not only plundering in the Thunder Ancient Kingdom, but also in some marginal small countries. The plundering has been going on for about seventy epochs.”
“It’s been going on for seventy epochs?” Emperor Guixu was furious. “Such long-term, large-scale plundering is completely disregarding my Kingdom Master. I will report this to the Kingdom Master immediately!”
Emperor Guixu immediately got up and left.
Divine King Wuxin watched this scene. He was also filled with anger during the investigation process, but he couldn’t afford to offend the Monarchs of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom.
“I wonder how the Master of the Galactic Kingdom will handle this matter,” Divine King Wuxin thought.
Emperor Guixu had a high status in the Galactic Divine Kingdom, and immediately met with Moluosa and reported the matter.
Inside the palace.
“What?” Upon receiving the news, Moluosa was also shocked and furious. “What audacious Monarch Whitemane and Monarch Blueblossom, doing this is completely disregarding my Master!”
“Master, Master!” Moluosa immediately transmitted a message to Luo Feng through mental communication.
