In the grand backdrop of war, encountering true powerhouses in the Void Sea was a highly probable event.
The battlefield of both sides was not something Fang Ming could currently involve himself in.
...
The waters of the Void Sea remained unchanged for billions of years, as they always were.
Yet, Fang Ming had already drifted upwards, entering the shallow sea region, and then swimming rapidly upwards, heading towards the upper layers of the Void Sea.
If Fang Ming's previous dissipated avatar had been constantly diving downwards, into the depths of the Void Sea.
Then the current Fang Ming avatar was constantly swimming upwards, towards the upper layers of the Void Sea.
The surrounding fictional worlds grew progressively weaker.
From multiversal-level to universal-level worlds.
Then from universal-level worlds, to galactic-level worlds, and then to stellar-level worlds.
After an extended period of time.
Fang Ming had entered the shallowest sea region.
Around Fang Ming were a large number of historical, wuxia, or low-magic worlds.
These worlds, at their strongest, were stellar-level, and at their weakest, were worlds akin to ancient dynasties.
Fang Ming saw transmigrators who had traveled to the Tang Dynasty, and to the Qin Dynasty.
These Tang and Qin Dynasties, and the Three Kingdoms, were not worlds with supernatural powers, but true ancient dynasties on Earth where supernatural powers did not exist.
Productivity was extremely low; even in the so-called prosperous Tang Dynasty, a large number of people starved to death.
Transmigrators, without any technological weapons or system cheat codes, carrying only modern memories, traveled to ancient dynasties and created legendary stories...
Fang Ming quietly watched all of this in the Void Sea.
He watched everything that happened in the various historical worlds.
The white-clothed youth stood in the Void Sea, standing in the shallowest sea region.
He murmured, "This sea region is even higher than the Tian Long world I reached before."
"Fumeng."
"You said that the deeper one goes in the Void Sea, the more terrifying the worlds become."
"The Void Sea, like Earth's oceans, the deeper you dive, the more terrifying and dreadful the worlds become."
"The worlds within the eight-layered box could already achieve a state where every ordinary person in the world is a cultivator above the Sacrifice Dao, a Dao Fruit realm powerhouse."
"For them, possessing such a level of supernatural power is as simple as eating and drinking."
"This is merely a sci-fi world with the strength of an eight-layered box."
"If there were a hundred, a thousand, tens of billions, or even infinite layers of boxes, how terrifying would it be?"
"If the Primordial World, and all the ancient saints from the Land of Nothingness, descended, the strongest ancient saints, infinite-layered box ancient saints, descended, what would the Primordial World become?"
"What kind of worldview would that be?"
"Can the entire Void Sea be understood like this?"
"The numerous worlds in the shallow sea region are insignificant, not worth mentioning, merely barren lands."
"In the deep sea region, the deeper one goes, the more prosperous it becomes, the more powerful individuals there are, and the more it becomes the center of all the heavens and myriad worlds."
"During the era of the Supreme Primordial rule, the center of all the heavens and myriad worlds was the Supreme Primordial, thus, the deepest sea region of the Void Sea was the most prosperous place in all the heavens and myriad worlds."
"During the era of the Myriad Worlds Tower's rule, the center of all the heavens and myriad worlds was the Myriad Worlds Tower, thus, the headquarters of the Myriad Worlds Tower, that deepest sea region, the lowest sea region, was the most prosperous place in all the heavens and myriad worlds."
"The deeper one goes, the stronger it becomes."
"The higher one goes, the weaker it becomes."
"The center of the myriad worlds is at the lowest level, isn't it?"
The youth's leisurely words were naturally heard by Fumeng.
She replied, "Yes."
"Regardless of the era, the lowest sea region, the deepest part of the ocean, is the center of the Void Sea's myriad worlds."
"In the past, the Supreme Primordial viewed the many worlds in the upper layers of the Void Sea as insignificant, as barren lands."
"Barren lands are naturally not valued or cared for."
"The current Myriad Worlds Tower is also like this."
"Neither has ever invested any power in the shallow sea regions or the upper layers of the Void Sea."
The upper layers of the Void Sea are the shallow sea regions.
The lower layers of the Void Sea are the deep sea regions.
By continuously diving deeper, swimming downwards, one could reach the deepest sea region and approach the origin of the Great Dao.
The lowest sea region is the Supreme Primordial, the world where the Myriad Worlds Tower headquarters is located, and also the location of the origin of the Great Dao.
The white-clothed youth, Fang Ming, was silent for a long time after hearing this, then he said, "Why is the lowest layer of the Void Sea, instead, the center of the myriad worlds?"
"And the upper layers of the Void Sea are insignificant, with no powerful beings paying attention?"
Fumeng replied, "Because it is far from the origin of the Great Dao."
Fang Ming asked, "The Void Sea has a lowest layer, but does it have a highest layer?"
Fumeng remained silent.
Fang Ming continued, "You once said that the Void Sea can be likened to Earth's oceans."
"The deeper the ocean, the more powerful beings there are."
"The shallower the ocean, the shallow sea region, the fewer powerful beings there are."
"Then, what is above Earth's shallow sea?"
"Shallow sea is the area near the continent."
"The ocean goes down to the deep sea, and up to the shallow sea, and then further up, one reaches the continent."
"This is how Earth's oceans are."
"Could the Void Sea also be like this?"
"Is the highest layer of the Void Sea truly just shallow sea? Not a continent?"
The youth's gaze turned towards the upper part of the Void Sea.
"If I swim upwards from here, where will I reach?"
"Will I be able to approach the continent?"
"Will I be able to approach the real Earth?"
Through the countless avatars he had experienced and explored in the Void Sea over the years.
Fang Ming had initially divided his understanding into a structure.
First, there was the division between the real Earth and fictional Earths.
The Earth in the Tian Long world, the Earth in the Three-Body world, the Earth in the Ze Tian world, and even that fictional world in the heavens and myriad worlds stream with forces like the Time and Space Administration, this fictional world also contained multiple fictional Earths.
And is the real Earth located in the deepest sea region?
Fang Ming did not think so.
The lowest sea region is accessible and is recognized by the powerhouses of the Void Sea as the center of the Void Sea's myriad worlds.
But the upper sea regions do not seem to be valued by the powerhouses of the Void Sea.
If one goes further up from the upper sea regions, would they reach the continent, the location of the real Earth?
Would they reach his hometown?
"Where there is a sea, there is a continent."
"My hometown is not in the sea, but on the continent."
"I came from the continent."
"The reason Earth transmigrators hold a high position in the Void Sea, and can contend with local powerhouses with their small numbers, is because Earth transmigrators come from the continent."
"Earth transmigrators are not native beings of all the fictional worlds in the Void Sea."
"All the fictional worlds in the Void Sea can be called fantasy worlds."
"Fantasy worlds have strong and weak ones."
"The deepest sea region is the strongest fantasy world."
"But above the Void Sea, reaching the continent means reaching the real world."
"Real power is different from the power of the Void Sea."
"I remember you saying, Fumeng, that the six Great Dao True Saints of the Supreme Primordial are all 'Primordial Fanatics'."
"And one of the supreme dreams of the Primordial Fanatics is to include the real world, the real Earth, under the Supreme Primordial."
"Does this mean that the six Great Dao True Saints once had intentions towards the real world, towards the real Earth, wanting to replace the real world and turn it into a lower-level interface of the Supreme Primordial?"
