Chapter 4636 - The Origin!
Tianming closed his eyes to better sense the birdsong, flowers, trees, sunlight, and gentle breeze.
Moments ago, he had stood in a cold, endless void.
Now he stood in the Realm of Worldgazing, a warm, living world. Beside him lay the Primordial God-Emperor's tomb, no longer an incomprehensible cosmic expanse.
He frowned. "Has the world changed... or have I?"
"You have changed, and you haven't," the Gravekeeper replied. "You may leave the Realm of Worldgazing at any time, or look inward and see your divine body."
"How?"
"See with your heart."
Tianming lowered his head, his vision transforming as he did so.
Though he appeared less than two meters tall, when he looked within, he clearly saw his seventy-thousand-meter body. Every middlekin astron, every order, and every physical detail remained exactly as before.
When he looked outward again, the valley returned. Mountains, grass, rocks, sunlight, and breeze met his gaze.
His inner and outer perceptions no longer matched. His body hadn't shrunk. His senses had simply changed.
That meant the Gravekeeper was the same. Beneath his frail appearance still lay a body a hundred million light-years tall, containing countless nova sources burning with endless light and heat.
"What a wondrous world."
“Perhaps the Real World Dock is reality itself, and the Realm of Worldgazing exists so all beings, regardless of size, could meet, communicate, and resolve conflict.” That was what the Gravekeeper had said to him earlier.
Yet the Gravekeeper had also said, Everything was born from Worldgazing.
So how could it merely be a creation?
The woman clad in white... the countless hands... what were they?
Tianming took his first steps on the solid earth of the valley and looked up at the blue sky.
“If the Realm of Worldgazing is the origin of everything, then the Real World Dock is merely an extension of it and another state or form of the world. Then how does the whole Realm of Worldgazing look? The starry sky can be seen from everywhere in the Real World Dock. Then what lies beyond the heavens here?”
The Gravekeeper only smiled, offering no answer.
Tianming checked his body. "Ying Huo? Meow Meow?"
"We're here," Ying Huo replied. "Your body hasn't changed. We're still fused with you."
That eased his mind.
“Entering the Realm of Worldgazing is both liberation and a return to the origin for all life. What did that truly mean?”
Even his primordial chaos beasts were baffled and debating back and forth.
However, Xian Xian and Ji Ji were certain of one thing: This was where they were meant to be.
Tianming also felt his eyes sting with pain. Ninth was nearing its hatching.
So this truly was the Realm of Worldgazing, even if it differed greatly from what he had imagined.
He had expected endless stars. Instead, he found a simple, vibrant world.
“The Aeternal Beings and their projections...” Tianming recalled those Number Monsters.
He couldn't help wondering whether two realities had always existed.
The Realm of Worldgazing served as the origin, while the Real World Dock was an endlessly big space with nothing inside. And thus, it was filled up by the Realm of Worldgazing projecting into it!
Bai Feng made its guess. “Maybe it’s like a beam illuminating the Realm of Worldgazing and projecting many things in it onto an endless canvas.”
Yin Chen scoffed. "Then we're... just shadows?"
"It's an analogy, a literary device, idiot," Bai Feng rasped.
Tianming stopped dwelling on their bickering which was giving him a headache.
Instead, he continued to examine himself.
The Grand-Orient Sword, the decapath era godswords, Huang Qi, Mo Si, and the runes left behind by Dao San, Shen Wu, Huang Liu, and Jie Ba were all unchanged.
Every cosmic art he had mastered still functioned.
Yet he knew that before the kindly old Gravekeeper, all of it amounted to almost nothing.
Looking toward the Primordial God-Emperor's tomb, he sighed. From the perspective of the Realm of Worldgazing, it was merely a single tomb. Yet, everything he had experienced until now had taken place within it.
