Chapter 338 247: Underworld's Small World Formation
Within the All Heaven Stars Tower, Lu Yan did not directly intervene in the ascension of the Soul Continent.
Regarding the power on the level of rules, Lu Yan knew very little, far less suitable than the Probability Cloud, which serves as the core of the omniscient computation hub.
However, the formation of a small heaven and earth also represented an excellent opportunity for Lu Yan, so he actively merged his Divine Soul into the Human Emperor Banner, comprehending the process of the small heaven and earth's ascension.
The Soul Continent gradually transformed from a desolate world piled with soul computation power into a tangible entity. In the Endless Void, Dao Principles woven by the Probability Cloud condensed, interweaving into an invisible network that covered the entire Soul Continent.
The soul computation power that dissipated between heaven and earth, like scattered stars, slowly gathered under the guidance of the Probability Cloud, weaving the embryonic form of existence.
High above the Soul Continent, the black giant egg that had never completed its gestation was endowed with the concept of the Great Sun, and the True Spirit Light derived from the Supreme Will shone once again, transforming into the sole light source illuminating the Soul Continent.
The intangible and invisible time began to flow within the Soul Continent, the ascent and descent of the black Great Sun concretized the concept of time.
And within the Great Sun, the immortal True Spirit Light roiled in the furnace-like core, waiting for the moment it would be given form.
The flickering Probability Cloud, amidst infinite changes, captured the unique reality. Each fluctuation of the Probability Cloud represented the birth and annihilation of rules, and the moment the Probability Cloud completely stabilized, the stars of the celestial sphere filled the entire Soul Continent.
Each star was a micro-computation power node, together forming the rule network covering the entire Soul Continent, the trajectory of all causality.
On the land, the Human Emperor's Qi surged like a tidal wave, and within it, the massive Light of Heavenly Dao Merit could evolve all things, recreating heaven and earth, constructing vast stretches of continuous mountains, and the power of the earth veins began to awaken from the depths of the ground, imbuing the land with the concept of vitality.
The vital energy nurtured within the earth broke the balance of the Soul Continent, and all of this had long been deduced by the Probability Cloud.
As the decrees triggered by the stars fell, the five great ghost gods drove the Ghost Generals and Yin Soldiers to form the Yellow Springs Array, and the surging Water of the Underworld, capable of eroding all things, scoured the land, spanning the entire Soul Continent from beyond the boundaries of heaven and earth.
Then, within the Human Emperor Banner, the accumulated millions of remnant souls poured into the Underworld, dividing the Soul Continent. The dense aura of death once again filled the heavens and the earth, stabilizing the balance of life and death in this realm of the deceased.
With the formation of the Soul Continent, the Water of the Underworld, imbued with the power of decay, was assigned a new concept.
The rule representing death and termination was integrated into the Water of the Underworld, allowing this Yellow Springs to complete a hierarchy leap along with the entire heaven and earth.
Lu Yan immersed himself in the myriad mysterious changes, and with the strength of his Divine Soul, he should not have been able to comprehend the vastness and grandeur of the primordial setting of rules in this newly established heaven and earth.
But every change in the Soul Continent, the rule fluctuations it emanated, were devoured by the Supreme Divine Techniques Seed.
With the aid of the Supreme Divine Techniques Seed, Lu Yan managed to barely digest the insights of the Soul Continent's ascension.
He did not know how much time had passed, but with the Human Emperor Banner devouring most of the rule resources within the All Heaven Stars Tower, that magnificent continent was finally completely stabilized.
The Heaven and Earth Rules were formed within, resembling a blessed land and cave paradise.
Lu Yan awoke from the ascension comprehensions and internally examined the Supreme Divine Techniques Seed. Although this insight did not devour any rule resources, it still significantly benefited the Supreme Divine Techniques Seed.
The originally chaotic & disorderly Dao patterns on the surface of the Supreme Divine Techniques Seed were filled with the Path of Heaven and Earth, but they were not interconnected.
However, after comprehending the Soul Continent's ascension, the Dao patterns on the Supreme Divine Techniques Seed surprisingly began to interlink, and the patterns almost merged into one.
Although Lu Yan was unclear about the significance of this, from the changes in the Supreme Divine Techniques Seed, it was definitely a good thing.
Removing his gaze from the Supreme Divine Techniques Seed, Lu Yan's sight fell upon the now-transformed small heaven and earth within the Soul Continent.
The original Soul Continent spanned eight hundred miles, and although the area was vast, it was essentially just a result of accumulated soul computation.
Without rules, without matter, it was no more than a castle in the sky.
After the ascension, the small heaven and earth's area shrank from eight hundred miles to three hundred miles. Although the surface area decreased, everything transformed into a tangible heaven and earth.
If the Soul Continent were to collide with the now small heaven and earth, the vastly larger Soul Continent would undoubtedly be crushed by the small heaven and earth.
Such a vast small heaven and earth, if not for the Human Emperor Banner serving as a Heavenly Dao Merit Artifact with an extremely high position, it would have surely burst the Human Emperor Banner the moment the small heaven and earth took shape.
Lu Yan had heard that in the Xianxia version, there were treasures of cave paradise, capable of housing a heaven and earth within the artifact.
But they were nothing more than false heavens, with areas barely spanning dozens of miles, and the rules were never perfected. Yet, even so, treasures of the cave paradise were at least at the level of Divinity Transformation Spirit Treasure.
And now the small heaven and earth within the Human Emperor Banner had long surpassed that level of cave paradise.
Of course, for the entire small heaven and earth, size was the least significant thing.
By devouring so many rule resources, under the weaving of the Probability Cloud, the small heaven and earth possessed several unique Heaven and Earth Rules.
The entire small heaven and earth was condensed into reality with the Human Emperor's Qi as its foundation. Without the massive accumulation of Human Emperor's Qi by Lu Yan, it would have been impossible for the small heaven and earth to retain three hundred miles of land post-ascension.
Everything within the small heaven and earth is a manifestation of the Human Emperor's Qi, and the origin of all matter ultimately returns to the Human Emperor Banner.
