On the western edge of the three thousand universes, in an extremely inconspicuous origin lower realm.
On the surface, this origin lower realm appeared incredibly normal. Even the strongest beings entering it would not be able to discern any difference from other worlds.
However, if one were to activate causality techniques within this origin lower realm, they would discover that all beings within it were virtual data. The true origin lower realm was empty, with only a black hole suspended at its center, quietly influencing this world.
Ye Ling and Ye You instantly transported to this origin lower realm. All beings and matter within it vanished into thin air, and a massive black hole appeared before them.
Witnessing the complete disappearance of all life and matter in an origin lower realm, Ye You exclaimed in surprise, "This entire origin lower realm is constructed from virtual code? Then the methods used here are similar to the ones you used against the Primal Wisdom King before, aren't they?"
Ye Ling replied, "No, the methods here are far more advanced than those of the Primal Wisdom King. Although virtual and reality were intertwined with the Primal Wisdom King, they could still be distinguished. But this origin lower realm... without absolute divine movement to break through the illusion, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call the virtual things real."
"At least, before those virtual beings in this origin lower realm disappeared, I couldn't distinguish between virtual and real… It seems Xingyu has hidden quite a few tricks. While he may not be skilled in combat, his attainments in other areas are exceptionally high."
After speaking, Ye Ling shifted his gaze to the center of the origin lower realm and said, "Let's go. The entrance has opened. Let's see what my senior brother is up to."
As his voice fell, Ye Ling, with Ye You, flew towards the black hole and was sucked in by the surging black energy emanating from within.
The surrounding environment rapidly distorted, and Ye Ling and Ye You found themselves in a virtual space constructed from code.
Around this virtual space, countless large screens flickered with a vast amount of peculiar symbols.
Although Ye Ling did not recognize these special symbols, he could tell that the peculiar symbols flashing on the screens were the same special symbols found within Earth's Heavenly Dao.
However, the special symbols here were more numerous and complete, and the power surging through them was stronger.
"I should have brought Mu Bai along."
Ye Ling glanced around the environment and sighed.
This place was practically Mu Bai's happy place.
"Brother! Look over there!"
At this moment, Ye You's voice drew Ye Ling's attention. Ye Ling followed Ye You's gaze and saw Xingyu, dressed in a white lab coat, riding in an elevator-like contraption. He ascended to the top of the space and then disappeared.
Xingyu's expression was extremely solemn, suggesting he had encountered some trouble.
"He looks like he's encountered some trouble, perhaps related to the game server shutdown. Let's follow him and see!" Seeing Xingyu, Ye Ling immediately took Ye You and followed him to the elevator entrance.
After all, that game was related to Earth, and Xingyu was Ye Ling's senior brother. For all intents and purposes, Ye Ling couldn't ignore the situation once he discovered it.
However, as Ye Ling approached the elevator, he realized the elevator doors were tightly shut, with no buttons visible on the surface.
Ye You carefully examined the elevator beside him and then shook her head at Ye Ling, saying, "I haven't found any mechanisms. We can't get in."
Ye Ling scanned the elevator with his divine soul and found that it was a virtual item constructed entirely from those special symbols. To ride it, specific permission was required.
As uninvited guests, Ye Ling and Ye You naturally lacked permission and could not enter the elevator.
However, Ye Ling and Ye You being denied entry did not mean they couldn't get in.
"Xiao You, grab onto me."
"Okay!"
Ye You did not hesitate and immediately grabbed Ye Ling. Ye Ling then directly activated Absolute Divine Movement, taking Ye You into the elevator.
Perhaps Xingyu had not anticipated intruders in this place. After Ye Ling and Ye You entered the elevator, the buttons on the control panel lit up, revealing hundreds of them!
Ye You stared at the dense array of buttons in the elevator, her eyes blurring. She asked Ye Ling, "Brother, with so many buttons in this elevator, how will we know where Xingyu went?"
"That's simple."
Ye Ling summoned the law of time, enveloped the elevator with it, and reversed the elevator's time.
Soon, one of the buttons on the elevator's control panel lit up.
"It seems we know where Xingyu went."
Ye Ling smiled slightly, then withdrew the law of time and pressed the button that had lit up on the control panel. The elevator began to ascend.
As the elevator passed through the top of the space, the external environment warped. Ye Ling and Ye You performed a spatial jump within the elevator.
Possessing Absolute Divine Movement, Ye Ling could clearly perceive that they had already left the three thousand universes and were traversing towards the outside of the Primal Chaos!
"This elevator actually connects to the inside and outside of the Primal Chaos?" Ye Ling was utterly astonished by the spatial changes outside the elevator.
He had only intended to bring Ye You to find Xingyu and inquire about the situation, but he never expected them to be heading outside the Primal Chaos!
He was fine; with his current strength, he could protect himself even in the void outside the Primal Chaos. But Ye You was different…
Ye You had always remained within the three thousand universes and was not very strong. She wasn't even a supreme being at the moment…
With Ye You's current strength, she likely wouldn't even be able to survive in the void!
Realizing that things were getting slightly out of his control, Ye Ling immediately enveloped Ye You with a portion of his spiritual power and said, "Xiao You, we are now outside the Primal Chaos. From now on, you must stay by my side at all times and absolutely do not act alone, understand?"
Although Ye You didn't fully grasp what being outside the Primal Chaos meant, she saw Ye Ling's serious expression and realized this was no trivial matter. She nodded earnestly, "Okay! I will definitely stay behind you, Brother!"
The moment Ye You finished speaking, Ye Ling suddenly foresaw that the elevator was about to be struck by an extremely powerful force. A black tentacle would then extend from the distorted space outside, pierce the elevator, entwine Ye You, and pull her out!
"Xiao You!"
Ye Ling's expression changed drastically as he foresaw this future. He immediately grabbed Ye You and shielded her behind him!
Boom!!!
Just as Ye Ling shielded Ye You, the entire elevator was struck with immense force. A pitch-black tentacle lunged into the elevator, but missed its target!
"Warning! Warp drive severely damaged, functionality compromised!"
A cold warning voice echoed within the elevator. Ye Ling could no longer afford to hesitate. He directly condensed a long sword from runes and severed the tentacle that had intruded into the elevator!
The moment the tentacle was severed, those dark appendages transformed into numerous special symbols identical to those in Earth's Heavenly Dao, causing the entire elevator to melt instantly!
Ye Ling and Ye You fell outside the elevator!
