A World Worth Protecting

To the countless civilizations in the countless galaxies in the universe, Wang Baole had come to a place that they would never be able to reach in their entire lives.

It could be said that almost ninety-nine percent of the living beings in the universe would never know that in the universe they lived in, there was a region called the Origin Universe Dao Kong.

This was because it was too ancient. The time contained within it could be traced back to the beginning of this universe, and it was mysterious and unfathomable.

Only a small number of civilizations that were similarly ancient and ran through the history of the origin of the entire universe had hidden bits and pieces of obscure records in their collections.

If one had the ability to put together the records of these ancient civilizations, then they would be able to draw out a barely complete trace of the origin universe dao-space master from these clues.

The first life form born at the beginning of the universe.

It roamed the starry skies, suppressing one after another of the Paragon Masters that were born after it, becoming an existence attached to it.

It was powerful and invincible.

It was domineering and crazy.

The Origin Universe Dao space where it was located was like a prison. The Paragon Masters that were suppressed by it were unable to leave it for their entire lives. They could only obey its orders and weave their own universes within it, forming 108 starry skies.

These 108 starry skies weaved together as a whole, becoming a part of the prime universe dao-kong master.

No one knew why the prime universe dao-kong master sealed the 108 supreme-being experts that appeared after he was born into his own universe.

Although there were guesses, most people believed that this might have something to do with his cultivation technique.

As for what the truth was, few people truly knew.

These were all descriptions of this imperial emperor and his cosmic origins dao-space in the ancient records of different civilizations.

And these records were all stopped at the same time node. That node... was precisely this imperial emperor’s madness. He wanted to fuse with the laws of this universe’s pillar, and thus, the five elements wood tribulation descended.

At that point, the rumors about him were gradually buried in the passage of time. The starry domain of the prime universe dao-kong slowly disappeared from the memories of all living beings.

From then on, only those who had reached the fifth step in cultivation base would be able to know about this region and its history.

Only they would be able to sense the prime universe dao-kong, which existed in the central region of the cosmos, in the realm where all the 10,000 daos of the cosmos were used.

That was because... there were no natural laws, no natural laws, and no dao marks. It was as if it was completely empty.

Similarly, even if they could sense the area and find traces of it... from ancient times until now, no one had ever walked out alive after the imperial emperor was struck by the five elements wood tribulation.

No one.

The red mist isolated everything, and all who stepped into it disappeared.

Those who had the ability to step into it and walk out of it were few and far between. To them, the Origin Universe Dao space belonged to this ancient powerhouse. There was no reason for them to enter it, they didn’t want to cause unnecessary conflict, so they didn’t go there easily.

That was because once there was a conflict... the universe would no longer exist.

Today, Wang Baole had used a unique dream dao technique to descend from the immortal dipper continent into this mysterious and ancient... Origin Universe Dao space.

He had come from the Dream Dao, which was very different from the traditional way of stepping into it. It seemed illusory and real. As the Dream Dao technique was unleashed, Wang Baole’s consciousness traveled through the starry skies, as he floated into the Origin Universe Dao space shrouded in red fog, the world he saw was different.

It was no longer the gigantic figure he had seen when he had stepped onto the Heavenly Bridge and looked at the universe formed by the one hundred and eight mighty figures. Instead, it was a star chart formed by countless stars.

The boundless stars reflected in Wang Baole’s perception. It was just like looking up at the sky at night on Earth. However... most of the stars here were dim, as if they would be extinguished at any moment, only a few of them had faint lights that seemed to continue to glow. If one looked closely, they would see that there were only five of these lights, and the brightness was considered normal.

This caused Wang Baole to hesitate. He focused his senses for a long time. After cultivating the Dream Dao, he had a basic understanding of the stars that he was currently sensing.

The Dream Dao has entered this place, so at this moment, I am not my real body. I am just a wisp of consciousness. Therefore, I have no sense of touch, hearing, or even sight of the outside world... and these so-called stars are not real stars. They... are dreams

“Each star is a living creature’s dream. The brighter the light, the more stable the dream

“In order to truly enter this origin universe dao space, I need to fuse into a dream. I need to find the dreamer in the dream, lock onto his location, and then wake him up... the moment he wakes up, the moment the dream is shattered, the moment the illusion and reality intersect, I will be able to completely... descend here.”

Deep in thought, Wang Baole looked towards the countless starlight senses. Those that were dim were immediately abandoned by him. Such a dream was at risk of being destroyed at any moment. There was even a high chance that he would be destroyed the moment he entered.., the dream realm would be unable to withstand it. That way, he wouldn’t have enough time to find the Dream Lord, and he wouldn’t be able to lock onto the other party.

Therefore, such destruction was ineffective. Once it failed, the wisp of consciousness would also dissipate.

The five most stable ones were Wang Baole’s first choice. However, just as his senses were spreading and he was about to choose one of them to fuse with, Wang Baole’s mind suddenly jolted. His senses were locked onto one of the stars that wasn’t dim, it didn’t seem like it would last for long.

The light from the star gave Wang Baole a sense of familiarity.

“Little Five’s aura?”

The moment Wang Baole scanned the light from the star, he sensed Little Five’s aura. This meant that the dream lord had something to do with little five. More accurately speaking, he had little five in his dream.

Wang baole fell into deep thought. After some thought, he gave up on the five dreams that seemed to be the most stable. Instead, he focused his senses on the starlight that had Little Five’s aura. In an instant, he extended his senses and merged them all into it.

An unknown amount of time passed. It felt like a breath, like a lifetime.

His lost sense of touch slowly returned. Wang Baole felt the cool breeze blowing on his skin.

Following that was the return of his sense of smell. He smelled the refreshing fragrance of heaven and Earth after the rain. Following that was the sound of hearing, footsteps, Raindrops, and bustling sounds. All sorts of mixed sounds gradually filled his ears, from far to near, from low to high.

Finally, Wang Baole opened his eyes.

He saw the setting sun in the sky being obscured by dark clouds. He saw the rain falling from the sky, drenching the small puddles on the ground one after another, creating countless ripples. He saw many pedestrians, holding umbrellas, they rushed past in front of him.

As the world in front of him became clearer and clearer, finally... a huge city entered Wang Baole’s mind. There were many people in the city, and even though the rain was falling, it was still bustling and lively.

At that moment, he was standing on a street in the city, holding an oil-paper umbrella in his hand.

After a long while, Wang Baole took a deep breath and extended his left hand out of the Umbrella’s range. He felt the icy coldness when the raindrops touched his skin. He raised his head and saw the imperial palace in the distance. On It... was a huge totem.

This totem was a lifelike parrot.

“The Mystic Dust Empire,”Wang Baole murmured softly.
