Chapter 497 The Unlucky Great Sage Wan Yu
This is a third of the power of a branch of the Great Dao!
Even the Great Sage of Chaos's mastery of the Great Dao is no more than this.
If Chen Yuan hadn't possessed the Myriad Things lineage, which wasn't particularly adept at offense, the Great Sage of Ten Thousand Feathers might have even been defeated in this clash!
Even now, the two sides are only evenly matched.
But how could a mighty Chaos Great Sage fight to a draw with a ruler of the universe? Even if the secret technique he used wasn't the strongest, the outcome was still ridiculous enough.
Faced with Wan Yu Dasheng's question, Chen Yuan simply smiled and replied with two words: "Talent."
'
After a moment of silence, Wan Yu Da Sheng finally nodded, acknowledging this statement.
There's no other way; if the other party isn't a reincarnated powerhouse, then only talent can explain it.
If it's not talent, then is it some kind of secret treasure? No way, this is the Cosmic Sea region, incredibly barren!
There are treasures that can help people improve their Dao, but they are extremely rare even in the Origin Continent. They would never appear in a place like the Cosmic Sea!
After a long silence, the Great Sage Wanyu sheathed his sword and nodded, saying, "That's enough. I acknowledge your strength."
"I have released your intelligent servant, and—I owe you a request."
At the same time, Chen Yuan received a telepathic message from Irene: "Master, my clone has been released."
"understood."
Chen Yuan nodded almost imperceptibly, looked at the Great Sage Wan Yu, and smiled, "Thank you, Great Sage Wan Yu."
"Call me by my name." Wan Yu Dasheng smiled faintly: "My real name is Di Yuluo. You can call me Yuluo. This is my former name."
"Since I became the sole ruler of the Feather Clan, I added the title of Emperor to distinguish myself from other Feather Clan members."
Di Yulu shook her head: "However, with the talent you've shown, as long as you don't perish, it's only a matter of time before you reach my level."
"Moreover, your strength has earned my respect, and I am willing to associate with you as an equal."
"I see." Chen Yuan smiled. "Okay, Yu Luo."
Di Yulu nodded slightly, then said, "When are you going to fulfill the request I owe you?"
He paused for a moment, then added, "However, your current level is too low. I suggest you slow down for now and think carefully about your needs."
"If you want to maximize your benefits, you can wait until you pass through reincarnation and then seek out my true form to fulfill your promise. I can swear on my soul that I will never harm you."
"Of course, as I just said, if your request is too difficult, then you will also have to fulfill one of my requests."
"I do have something I want right now, and it shouldn't be difficult for you to obtain," Chen Yuan said. "However, I won't take it for nothing. You can just tell me what you need, and we can make it mutually beneficial."
After a moment's thought, Di Yulu nodded. "Alright, in that case, I won't stand on ceremony."
"My request is—I need you to help me eliminate an enemy."
As he spoke, he immediately added, "Don't worry, this enemy is only within the cosmic sea, and with your strength, it won't be difficult to deal with."
"An enemy?" Chen Yuan was slightly surprised. "With your strength, you're invincible in the entire universe, right? There's an enemy you can't handle?"
"Although I am strong, I cannot make a move." Di Yulu smiled bitterly. "I wonder if you have heard of the Calamity of the Beast Realm?"
""
"A Beast of the Realm?!" Chen Yuan's heart skipped a beat, but not out of fear; rather, he felt a slight surge of joy. "You actually have a Beast of the Realm here?"
"It seems you already know about this, so I don't need to explain any further."
Di Yuluo said, "There is indeed a World Beast Nest being nurtured within this cosmic sea, and it has already entered its final stage."
"According to my understanding, there are currently 17 sixth-tier world beasts, 168 fifth-tier world beasts, and several thousand fourth-tier world beasts in the world beast nest. As for those below the fourth tier, they have all died."
"Within ten epochs at most, this group of world beasts will determine the final king. Then, the world beast king, who has entered the growth stage, will break out of its nest, slaughter all life in the cosmic sea, and devour the origin of the primordial universe."
At this point, he said with some helplessness, "I have no choice but to do my best to improve the strength of my clan in order to prepare for the future Beast King."
"Wait a minute," Chen Yuan interrupted, raising his hand. "Aren't you the Great Sage of Chaos? With your strength, you can't even handle the World Beast?"
"With my strength, even if I only use my avatar, it wouldn't be difficult to deal with all the world beasts."
Di Yulu shook her head: "Unfortunately, due to the restrictions of the supreme rules, I am unable to make a move."
"Supreme rules restrict it?" Chen Yuan blinked. "I remember the supreme rules wouldn't restrict dealing with realm beasts, unless—ah!"
He suddenly remembered that the Great Sage before him had another identity: the Lord of the Primordial Universe!
"Is it because of the primordial universe?" he asked immediately.
"That's right." Di Yulu nodded, his tone full of helplessness: "Shortly after breaking through to the Chaos level, I couldn't wait to possess someone else's body."
"The possession went very smoothly. The original will was no match for me at all, and I easily took control of the original universe."
"Unfortunately—after I successfully possessed the body, I realized that becoming the controller of the primordial universe was not as wonderful as I had imagined."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan's heart stirred. He suddenly realized that although the three thousand universes had gone through a long period of time, very few primordial universe masters had been born.
He initially thought it was just that the original author was too lazy to mention this aspect, but now it seems there's more to it than meets the eye?
So he asked, "I've heard that after mastering the Primordial Universe, one can fully comprehend the Great Dao of Life held by the Primordial Universe, which almost paves the way to becoming a God-King."
"Could it be that there's some hidden danger here?"
"Of course, there are no such good things in the world, and the same goes for possessing the original universe."
Di Yulu shook his head and explained, "After gaining control of the primordial universe, although one can fully comprehend the great Dao contained within it, there are also many downsides."
"First, after successfully possessing another body, it will be considered as abandoning the original mini-universe. Under the influence of the rules, my original mini-universe will be directly destroyed."
"I had never heard of this information before, so when I successfully took control of the primordial universe, the life forms that were originally contained in the smaller universes instantly perished, and because the time was too long, most of them could not be resurrected."
"This time alone, I lost more than 90% of my clansmen. Only a few clansmen who relied on the Void True God Yu Shen are still alive."
"So that's how it is—" Chen Yuan only just realized this. In the original story, Luo Feng never considered seizing the original universe, but now it seems that he has actually saved the human race from disaster.
"Yes, that's a painful lesson," Di Yulu sighed.
"The second hidden danger is that after becoming the controller of the original universe, my behavior will be restricted by the supreme rules. As long as the behavior is not allowed by the rules, I cannot defy them no matter how strong I am."
"And that's why I can't attack the World Beast."
He shook his head slightly: "Because the Beast Race, too, is born from supreme rules, its life essence comparable to the primordial universe, and the two are inherently opposing races!"
"The calamity of the Beast Realms is a catastrophe for the primordial universe!"
"Therefore, the supreme rules restrict the primordial universe from taking action against the Beasts of the Realm. It can only rely on external forces, namely the life forms that survive in the Cosmic Sea, to fight against them."
Chen Yuan was aware of this limitation, as it was the same in his hometown. In the original story, the primordial universe placed its hopes on the life it nurtured because it could not directly deal with the World Beasts.
"So that's how it is." Chen Yuan looked at Di Yulu with a hint of pity in his eyes. This was just too unlucky.
After finally cultivating to the level of a Chaos Great Sage, he joyfully possessed the body of the Primordial Universe and opened the path to becoming a God-King, but then this happened!
If Di Yuluo had not possessed the original universe, then the calamity of the world beasts would not have been a problem for him, but rather a great opportunity.
Even if the opponent uses an avatar, they can easily annihilate the world beasts and even enslave them.
Unfortunately, his identity as the controller of the primordial universe became a limitation for him. Faced with the impending birth of the World Beast King, the mighty Chaos Great Sage was helpless and could only place his hopes on external forces.
"No wonder the local natives are so obsessed with the treasure, they'd sell everything they own to get it."
Chen Yuan seemed to realize something, but then another question came to mind, and he couldn't help but ask, "From what you're saying, the calamity of the World Beasts has been brewing for a long time, hasn't it? Why didn't you deal with it beforehand?"
"Because I didn't discover it." Di Yulu sighed. "The flow of time over there is much slower than in the cosmic sea. Since I passed through the cycle of reincarnation, I have spent most of my time in seclusion."
"Furthermore, before I entered the cycle of reincarnation, the world beasts had not yet been born, so I never expected that in this era of reincarnation, the supreme rules would actually give birth to world beast lairs."
"You're too impatient." Chen Yuan pointed out the other party's main problem: "If you had thoroughly cleaned up the cosmic sea before attempting to possess someone, you shouldn't have had trouble discovering this issue."
"Yes." Di Yulu sighed softly, "But faced with such a great opportunity, I was afraid that other unexpected events would occur, causing me to miss this chance, which is why I couldn't wait to complete the possession."
"Until I had completely taken control of the primordial universe, before I even had a chance to appreciate the origin of the Great Dao, I discovered this world beast's nest, which was about to finish its gestation, through the senses of the primordial universe."
After listening to Di Yulu's story, Chen Yuan was speechless.
