Chapter 328 - A Celestial! (2/2)
Wait…
No, that didn't feel right.
Yan Zaizen went into deep thought. Those spiritual creatures didn't exist in the Non Universe and he should know, he devoured a large portion of its laws, constructed his own sub-realm, and there was nothing surrounding creatures of that degree, but…
But…
Yan Zaizen grew more confused. So confused in fact that he couldn't even think properly.
The Non Universe could give birth to a truly pure physical existence absent of mortal taint and a soul...a Non-Entity. This aligned perfectly with the Non Universe's core laws. If the thirty-three heavens were within the Non Universe, then this was a logical conclusion. However, that was only one piece of the grand puzzle. It doesn't explain the Border Expanse or the Thirty-Three Heavens.
He only understood why it would be called a 'false' heavenly universe, but then...what's a 'true' heavenly universe? What about the Earths and Skies, both below and above?
Was there a universe above a universe? A universe below all other universes?
Then, what the hell is the Thirty-Three Heavens?!
The Non-Universe obviously hadn't collapsed, so what about the spiritual existences in the Border Expanse?!?!
In frustration, he ruffled his hair. ”My second question! What is the Border Expanse?!”
Yri had calmly looked at Yan Zaizen go through an array of thoughts, but she remained calm and even slightly amused. A Non who didn't know they were a Non! That was truly interesting. It was like a human being born on earth but not knowing they were born by other humans.
However, when Yan Zaizen asked his second question, her eyebrow rose in response. Border Expanse?
”I...don't know what that is.” Yri was someone from thirty-seven billion years, only existing in this isolated temporal void. She had no idea what Yan Zaizen was speaking of.
This caused Yan Zaizen to be shocked. How could she not know? Wasn't she born beneath the heavens?! How could a powerful being NOT know?
”You...what about the thirty-three heavens, what is the thirty-three heavens?!” Yan Zaizen asked.
”...Thirty...three...heavens?” Yri grew even more confused. From what she knew, there were only nine heavens, not thirty-three. ”I only know of nine heavens in my time.”
”!” Yan Zaizen was shocked by her words, visibly so. ”You know I'm a member of the Non Universe, then answer this: Where did you set up your trial?” He had some theories as to why Yri was ignorant.
”Heavenly Origin Grounds, Third Layer.” Yri frowned. She didn't count the other two questions she couldn't answer, so this was Yan Zaizen's second legitimate question.
”Heavenly Origin Grounds...Third Layer…” Thinking about this, he wanted to ask how many layers were in the Heavenly Origin Grounds, but he decided against it. That was...because he had a very frightening theory. He suspected the Heavenly Origin Grounds were a set of nine!
If he delved deeper, it didn't seem uncommon for other universes to enter these Heavenly Origin Grounds, considering she took him as a Child of the Non Universe so calmly. This was indicative of a greater realization! In her time, many different universes often interacted and they had humanoid appearances!
”You have one last question, then I'll strive towards my goal.” Yri impatiently spoke. The more she heard about the future, the more she became intrigued and wanted to set off the mechanism to alert her 'present' self.
”Fine. Then, my last question: what is your cultivation level?” With the discrepancy of thirty-seven billion years, there wasn't much he could ask for besides answers, but that was unlikely. He also decided not to waste questions on his earlier musings about the falsely real world and Yan Linzen. Regardless of the answer to them, he couldn't take action against someone who's likely long dead.
Yri was shocked at this question which was completely unrelated to the first two questions. ”Celestial Monarch, Ninth Phase.” After saying that, she didn't elaborate, but vanished into thin air.
The temporal void grew distorted as Yan Zaizen felt an attractive force and was rapidly carried upwards. The blackness distorted like swirling water before Yan Zaizen's vision swam momentarily. When it ended, he returned back to his cave.
Ignoring the sudden shift in environment, he slowly spoke, ”A Celestial!”
