Chapter 673: Chapter 372: Practicing Above the Universe_2

“Hehe, no rush,”

“This is something I’ve summarized from traveling countless universes.”

“If it were so easily understood, wouldn’t that be a hit to my face?”

With those words, the discussion ceased.

Instead of continuing, he quietly waited for Chen Sheng to digest the prior content, before he spoke again.

“Have you ever wondered why flame always represents burning, high temperature, spread?”

“And why water always represents inclusiveness, softness, life?”

It seemed like he was posing a question.

But without waiting for Chen Sheng to answer, he continued on his own.

“Some laws above the universe represent a path that the ancients have walked.”

“The phenomena these laws represent, the meanings they embody, are all forged step by step by the initial practitioners.”

“Take flame, for example.”

“Countless years ago, the bearer of the first wisp of flame was born.”

“He turned the flame into his own strength and used that strength to change his tribe, to change the world he lived in.”

“Later, he took steps toward the broader expanse of outer space in exploration.”

“The original practitioner grew stronger and stronger, until he reached the end, making the footprint of flame spread across all the heavens and worlds.”

“Thus, flame was born.”

“And the first flame bearer became… Supreme.”

“Supreme…”

Listening to the narration,

Chen Sheng lowered his head in thought.

Although this was the first time he had heard this name,

For some reason,

A name suddenly surfaced in his mind.

“You are thinking in the right direction,”

Huanle’s voice was filled with approval

“The Supreme Demon is indeed the Supreme.”

“To become Supreme, to create one’s own laws, is the ultimate goal for all cultivators nowadays.”

“Only by becoming Supreme and creating their own laws do they qualify to become gods, to become invincible beings.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng asked,

“Doesn’t that mean, besides the Supreme Demon, there are other similar existences above the universe?”

Even without leaving this world,

Chen Sheng could guess that there must be countless laws above the universe.

Doesn’t that mean,

There are also countless Supremes?

But as soon as he finished speaking,

Perhaps anticipating his words,

Huanle replied very directly,

“What a joke”

“There is also a hierarchy among the laws themselves.”

“Most low-level and even mid-level laws are nothing but a culmination of the wisdom of myriad worlds and the nurtured life within them.”

“Only high-level laws are forged step by step by practitioners.”

“That is a road beyond the wisdom of creatures, pioneering moves not made by the ancients, relying on one’s own strength to overshadow all heavens and myriad beings—the highest road of all!”

The more he spoke, the more excited he became.

If he had a body,

Chen Sheng had reason to believe that the other party would surely be gesticulating wildly.

But soon,

The voice weakened.

The excitement quickly faded.

Huanle let out a long sigh,

“What a pity,”

“Through the long years, all the Supremes have already perished.”

“Most were slain by the Supreme Demon to augment his own strength.”

“And now, his subordinates control all the power of laws that exist in the current universe.”

“This means, trying to become Supreme again through the existing power of laws is an impossibility.”

“Only by walking a new path like you and me, gathering the power of laws not yet emerged in the universe, is there a possibility of becoming Supreme.”

“However, the problem is we are too weak now.”

“The road of practitioners ends in death midway for most, and the Supreme Demon and his subordinates consider us as nothing more than insects, hardly a concern.”

“But if we become strong enough…”

At this point,

Huanle’s voice gradually disappeared.

At the same time, Chen Sheng felt the other party’s meaningful gaze upon him.

In that instant,

An epiphany flashed through his heart.

If what Huanle had said was indeed necessary, by now he had a general understanding of why the other wanted to help him.

“I believe you must be curious how such strong beings as the Supremes were killed by the Supreme Demon, right?”

“Let’s start from—”

“That’s enough.”

Seeing Huanle seemed ready to start recounting the cosmic chronicles, Chen Sheng directly interrupted him.

Ignoring the puzzled look in Huanle’s eyes,

He lowered his head, pondering, sorting through the information in his mind.

While this series of narratives had given Chen Sheng a considerable understanding of the cultivation road above the universe and the Supreme Demon,

The implied information was too vast, bringing many new questions.

Why was the Supreme Demon so strong, able to slay all others who were also Supreme?

And according to Huanle, both he and Chen Sheng were practitioners.

That meant they were both currently on the road to creating laws.

Although he did not know what law Huanle had created,

Based on the other’s performance, Chen Sheng had a rough guess.

The only uncertainty was regarding himself—

He had no clue whatsoever.

What road was he on?

Overbearing?

Annihilation?

Or Invincible Flesh?

None of these concepts seemed capable of congealing the power of law.

Chen Sheng also couldn’t imagine what such laws might look like.

If there were ample time,

He naturally wouldn’t mind, and was even very interested in hearing Huanle continue.

But he felt that,

If they went on like this, they might not finish even in a whole day.

What Chen Sheng lacked most now was time.

Although he was not clear on when the next wave of subordinates might arrive,

With the subordinates learning of his true strength, they will likely not wait another ten days or half a month before coming again.
