Chapter 2216: Wonderpoint World

A gratified smile appeared on Mi Li’s face. “It’s because you've now come into contact with a power of a higher level. The cultivators of the world train their individual bodies and at most use a world’s spiritual essence to do so, which naturally has an upper limit. Now, you’ve come into contact with the source of an entire world and can sense the power contained within it. It’s a fundamentally different concept. It's natural to feel that those cultivators you’ve met in the past are insignificant in comparison.”

“So that was what was happening.” A look of understanding appeared in Zu An’s eyes.

“In the future, once you’ve seen even more worlds and encountered even more powerful beings, you will also feel as if your current self is really weak again.” Mi Li gazed into the sky, lost in her thoughts, as if she was reminiscing about something.

Zu An nodded. He felt a greater and greater yearning toward the other worlds in the universe.

He bound the World Law Beacon to the Poisonous Prick in the way Mi Li had taught him. In that instant, he gained a kind of enlightenment. He seemed to be able to direct the will of this world to a certain extent now. The first thing that he had to do right now was 'that'…

He held the Poisonous Prick in his hands and began to connect to the world’s will.

Outside this world, countless monsters had gathered. They continuously attacked certain areas of weakness in the world’s barrier to try to open up another hole for them to enter through.

Just then, however, the entire world suddenly shone with a streak of light. The monster that was hitting that area of the barrier was hit by the light. It screamed bitterly and turned into scattered ashes. The other monsters were alarmed and quickly dispersed. They didn’t dare to continue their attacks.

Soon after, the light surrounded the entire outer layer of the world. The holes were completely repaired and there were no longer any gaps to exploit.

“It seems that the Lord of Myriad Transformations' group failed.”

“A bunch of trash!”

“The World Law Beacon actually fell into the hands of the natives!”

“But it really is strange for someone in a world as weak as this to be able to control a World Law Beacon.”

“It’s useless to think about those kinds of things now, since this is reality. Now that the Sealed Land and Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons plans have failed, we only have one last opportunity.”

“That’s right. Otherwise, unless we invited those rare beings across the realms, breaking through the world’s barrier would be almost impossible.”

“Based on the intelligence we've received, the third plan seems to have gone more smoothly. It seems we’ll be able to enter this world soon.”

“Hah, that’s what you said the last two times too, but now, those natives have even repaired the world barrier!”

“What else do you want me to say then? This is already our last hope.”

…

In the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons, Zu An opened his eyes. In that instant, his thoughts had joined up with the will of the world and he had given the alien monsters a look.

Thank goodness we have the world barrier, or else if all of those powerful monsters invaded, this world’s cultivators likely wouldn't be able to win against them.

But he wasn’t all that worried now. The world’s barrier had been reconstructed, so those guys couldn't enter anymore. The only thing that he had to worry about now was the third plan they were talking about. He'd heard from Gao Ying that the capital was a mess, and reckoned that there were monsters behind that event.

He asked Mi Li, “Weren’t you confused at first, wondering why the World Law Beacon of this weak world was so radiant and colorful? I finally know why now.”

“Oh? Why is that?” Sure enough, Mi Li was now interested.

“That’s because this is a special world that can connect to any other worlds. It's able to cross through time and space,” Zu An said in a serious tone. When he connected to the will of the world just now, he had finally come to understand many secrets.

After all, the universe was vast and boundless. Even the speed of light described by the language of science and technology was akin to moving like an ant across the universe. The world was so big that even light would have to run over nine billion years. Just how long a time was that?!

Nine billion years was enough for the heavenly emperors of the novels Zu An had read to be erased countless times, let alone the fact that this universe wasn't necessarily the same as the one of his previous world and could be even bigger. According to what Mi Li said before, outside this universe there could even be other universes. When facing such a distance, no matter how powerful one was, it would still end up exhausting their entire lives.

And yet, these worlds really did still interact with each other. Even though this world was at the very edge of the cosmos, there were still monsters who had reached it. The reason for that was because the universe had special locations.

For example, on a sheet of paper, drawing a line on it would create the shortest path, but if one folded the paper in half, the two points would be right on top of each other. They could reach each other’s locations and wouldn’t need to travel that straight line that seemed like the shortest distance.

And there just happened to be a few such locations in the universe. The smaller ones could be described as wormholes, but the larger ones were actually entire worlds. The world that Zu An was currently in was precisely that kind of special place.

No wonder this world had so many secret dungeons, and no wonder every single secret dungeon had seemed like an entire world!

In that instant, Zu An suddenly understood a lot of things. Many of the things he had previously been confused about now made sense.

“So that was what happened!” Mi Li’s eyes lit up. “I didn’t expect it to be a Wonderpoint World!”

“Wonderpoint World?” Zu An had never heard such a term before.

“That’s right. There are some special worlds in the cosmos that can join up with other worlds and reach them in the shortest amount of time possible. Furthermore, outsiders can't enter these special worlds without the owner’s permission, bringing them an absolute sense of safety. It's because of the special spatial attributes of these worlds, which is why they're called Wonderpoint Worlds.” Mi Li sighed with amazement and said, “It's precisely because these Wonderpoint Worlds are precious that the owners of these worlds are all the strongest beings. Only these individuals can obtain the authority over such worlds through endless slaughter. Who would’ve thought that this border world you live in would actually be such a precious Wonderpoint World?”

Zu An couldn't help but chuckle. “My luck has always seemed to be quite good.”

Mi Li couldn't help but smile too. “But of course. If it were anyone else who continuously fought on the brink of life and death like that, they would probably have already died a long time ago.”

“But I never slacked off, and I always faced them with a hundred and twenty percent vigilance.” Zu An sighed deeply as well. After barely surviving time and time again through dangerous situations, he didn’t know if his luck would still continue to be so good in the future.

“By the way, since this world is actually a Wonderpoint World, its source shouldn’t be so weak. It probably shattered into countless pieces because of something in the past. This world is probably just one fragment of that original world, and the most special fragment. You can link up the underworld with this world to strengthen the source. Once you collect more fragments in the future, you can probably restore this Wonderpoint World to its peak again. You might even be able to bring it past its former glory,” Mi Li said while pacing back and forth.

Zu An was a bit worried. “The underworld is a land of the dead. If we merged it and this world together, wouldn’t we be bringing a disaster to the people?”

“You don’t need to worry about that,” Mi Li explained. “The underworld is just one form of the six paths of reincarnation, and the Wonderpoint World can be considered entirely the world of the living. They're all part of the six paths and come from a similar source, so there won't be a problem in merging them.

“On the contrary, once the world’s source grows stronger, the human world’s cultivators, Fiend races, and Ocean races will all have their upper cultivation bounds raised. The underworld will also become stronger as tit's supplemented by the departed spirits of this world. This is a win-win situation.”

Zu An sighed in relief. “Then how do I join up these two worlds?”

Mi Li seemed to have skipped over those things before.

“It isn’t too hard for you. You only need to merge the two World Law Beacons. You're now the owner of this Wonderpoint World, and you have the authority of the underworld, so that should be easy enough.” Mi Li paused for a moment before saying, “But I advise you to merge it a bit later. If you merge the worlds, the world barrier will be combined, which will give the monsters outside a chance to invade. On top of that, once the worlds are merged, this Wonderpoint World’s source will be strengthened, and the cultivation speed and upper bounds of cultivation will swiftly increase. Judging from what those monsters said, there's probably a third path they're using to enter this world. If the restriction is suddenly lifted, they'll quickly recover their previous power, but this world’s natives still need time to grow. That would create an unfavorable situation for you.”

Zu An couldn't help but sigh in amazement. “My beautiful master considers things much more deeply, as expected!”

“Hmph, I only did all this because I was worried that you might have become full of yourself after winning all the time, and got a bit too confident as your strength grew,” Mi Li said.

She had already criticized him countless times for him to address her properly, but he just refused to change, so she could only let him have his way in the end. Either way, she loved hearing him call her 'master', and the word ‘beautiful’ didn’t seem to sound that bad either…

“Being too weak isn’t necessarily a bad thing for this world. At the very least, the people of this world have to be extremely careful in everything that they do. After all, being too arrogant can bring them danger. Who knows how many powerful individuals across the cosmos have perished because of their arrogance?”
