Nationwide Development: Spend Billions in Advance to Bind the Empress

Chapter 540 Ascending to the Boundless Void! A Confrontation with the Origin of Nothingness

This seclusion lasted quite a long time, a full three months for Shen Yun.

When he opened his eyes, he felt that what he saw was not just the seventh floor of the Linglang Pavilion, but a panoramic view of all the heavens and myriad worlds!

If he wanted, every corner of the myriad worlds could become clear in his eyes.

This is just a visual sensation.

Even more astonishingly, as he breathed, a void aura swirled around him, and within this mist, cosmic clusters condensed, being born and annihilated with each of his breaths.

'This can even evolve into countless worlds…' Shen Yun marveled.

'I wonder if there are higher-dimensional worlds beyond the void...'

He had been thinking about this problem for a while, and since he still had a lot of game currency in his account that he hadn't spent, he kept thinking about it.

Now that he has reached the pinnacle of this realm, he can finally explore it.

With this in mind, Shen Yun released his divine sense to cover the heavens and investigate carefully.

However, no trace of a more advanced world was found; instead, the void origin deep within the universe was detected.

Perhaps because they were both nothingness, Shen Yun had an instinctive affinity for this source. When he probed it with his divine sense, the source of nothingness also emanated goodwill.

Besides showing goodwill, Nothingness also shared a massive amount of information with Shen Yun.

For example, how was nothingness born, and how did it give rise to chaos and evolve into all the heavens and myriad worlds?

Shen Yun also realized that nothingness was the ultimate state of the world, and there was nothing above it.

Nothingness is the starting point.

It's also the end!

This massive amount of information also includes some content from the mobile game "Seeking Immortals".

It turns out that the emergence of the mobile game "Seeking Immortals" was not due to any trend or natural law, but rather because the Heavenly Dao had its own selfish motives!

The battle between the three Demon Lords that year shattered the continent of myriad races and caused immense damage to the Heavenly Dao.

Because both the Myriad Races Continent and the Heavenly Dao were born from nothingness, they complement each other.

The Heavenly Dao, believing itself to be the master of rules, allowed the three Demon Lords to become its symbiotic entities.

But it was obvious that He did not subdue the three; instead, He aroused their rebellious spirit.

Because of the constraints of the rules, the Heavenly Dao could not take the initiative to act, and could only urge the seven Chaos Powerhouses to attack the three, which led to the explosion of the continent and damage to itself.

This is a classic case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead.

The only way to heal the wounds is to restore the myriad races continent and give back to the Heavenly Dao.

Under these conditions, the game "Seeking Immortals," created by the Heavenly Dao, was released throughout the heavens.

This game is primarily designed to help cultivators rise to power quickly!

Because the Myriad Races Continent requires the blood of at least a Dao Ancestor Realm expert to repair the continent's cracks.

This is also why, when the Myriad Races Continent was first opened, the blood of those Dao Ancestors was absorbed by the law chains that linked the fragments of the continent after their deaths.

'No wonder…' Shen Yun finally understood after receiving the information.

I remember that after the game detected that there were no problems with him, a large number of players said they would not play the game and would quit the server, which led the game's creator, Tiandao, to personally step in and provide compensation to win back the players.

The concern is that if these "leeks" (a metaphor for inexperienced investors) really quit, there won't be anyone left to exploit.

Only when a large number of cultivators reach the Dao Ancestor realm to provide 'new blood' to the Myriad Races Continent can the Heavenly Dao heal its wounds.

Besides this information, there are also VIP settings, and... his rebirth factors!

As expected, the VIP system was indeed one of the methods used to restrict the Heavenly Dao.

As for rebirth, when Shen Yun was destroyed as the Demon Lord in his previous life, a hero of the Witch Clan activated the Great Reincarnation Technique, which allowed him to successfully reincarnate.

However, in his first life, he was unaware of the VIP system and was killed by Zhou Qiaoqiao and others.

The VIP system, based on the false origin, would not be allowed to become a mere formality, thus giving Shen Yun a 'second' chance to be reborn.

That is, before the game was launched, this time he was reborn!

As he grew stronger, the Heavenly Dao also discovered that he was an anomaly and began to increase the rewards in the game, such as the previous Fortune Fruit Secret Realm, Chaos Dao Fruit rewards, and abnormal rewards, etc.

The goal is to help all players catch up with Shen Yun's progress as quickly as possible!

If we could kill him during this time, that would be best.

Unfortunately, Heaven was unaware of VIP's existence or abilities, so its defeat was inevitable.

After learning all this, Shen Yun still had a question in his mind:

'Void Origin, you really believe I will rise to power?'

Not bad!

Judging from this information, his chance to be reborn as 'Shen Yun' was the work of the Void Origin!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have known about VIPs, nor would he have achieved what he has today.

The void origin rippled slightly, offering a direct answer:

'If you had failed, someone else would have come to restrict the will of Heaven. You can only say that you seized this opportunity.'

Shen Yun sighed inwardly, 'Luckily, I had a fortune of over 10 billion before I was reborn…'

For an ordinary person, it would be impossible to raise tens of billions in the first few hours after the server opens; a few million would be the maximum.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and he successfully reached the summit of the Void.

Although his rebirth was arranged by the Void Origin, he would have been reincarnated long ago if he hadn't had this opportunity. He wouldn't be in this state now, so there's nothing to be conflicted about.

After discussing all of this, Shen Yun noticed that the Origin of Nothingness was gradually disappearing, and a feeling of reluctance arose within him. He couldn't help but ask in confusion:

What's going on here?

"To put it simply, you and I are of the same race," the Origin of Nothingness explained.

It's normal that my disappearance affects your mood.

'The question is, why did you disappear?' Shen Yun frowned:

'Is there only one endless void in the world?'

"That's not the case," the Origin of Nothingness continued.

'When cultivators at the Void Realm appear throughout the myriad realms, it heralds the beginning of a new era for the Void Realm. But one final spark is needed.'

"And I, as the origin of nothingness, am this fire! I need to nourish the heavens, strengthen the fortunes of cultivators, and bestow opportunities, so that beings from all realms may hope to reach the realm of nothingness. I do this to further elevate the fortunes of cultivators in this world, hoping to create a world beyond nothingness."

Just as you know there's a Celestial Realm above the Xuan Tian Realm, these worlds were actually born under this model. The [Origin of the Universe] plays the role of advancing a world's level. It's just that this process is very slow, and all living beings are unaware of this.

This is the mission of me and the Sources.

'But I am not a living being, nor do I possess the feelings of you living beings. Therefore, you need not worry about the reluctance that arises in your heart.'

The implication is that the source of nothingness doesn't care about its own sacrifice.

Shen Yun's reluctance is merely a way for living beings to express their emotions, and there's no need to take it too seriously.

'So that's how it is...' Shen Yun nodded slightly.

Nothingness is not the end point of cultivation.

And he is the key to unlocking the door to this 'new world'!

But if you want to open the door and see what's behind it, you need the Void Origin to push the door open.

As for how long it will take to open up and what the future holds, no one knows.

"Hearing you say that does feel comforting," Shen Yun smiled.

"Although you said it didn't matter, I still want to thank you for giving me a chance to be reborn."

To put it realistically, the reason for his rebirth was a game of chess played by the Origin of Nothingness!

He was merely a pawn in the game of Heaven's will.

Fortunately, he made it to this point and jumped out of the chessboard.

But regardless, the origin of nothingness is about to disappear.

As the beneficiary, Shen Yun felt that he should express his gratitude.

'No need to thank me. You should be grateful that you have principles. Otherwise, not everyone gets a second chance.'

After leaving behind this profound statement, the Origin of Nothingness dissolved and dissipated like smoke, disappearing into the universe.
