Chapter 1406: Reentering Chaos

“Go into that vortex?”

The others slightly turned their heads, their expressions turning blank. Given their knowledge, they understood more than anyone how terrifying that Dao art was.

It was the power of matter's return.

The great cosmic collapse was a massive doomsday millstone.

Even the greatest beings, Saints, everything, would be pulverized into the universe's primordial particles, vanishing into thin air.

Even the resilient wall of the cosmic earth had been crushed into a huge hole, its matter absorbed into the singularity. This alone indicated its terrifying power.

“Are you out of your mind? That Dao art is meant to hunt Tu Xin, and you want to go in and experience it yourself first?” Zhi Ji couldn't help but exclaim, clearly worried.

Once Tu Xin was caught in it, he might not be able to withstand it and would only be slowly ground to death!

Had her husband suddenly gone crazy? His usually calm demeanor, marked by tea drinking and leisurely strolls, had inexplicably led him to such a bizarre action.

“Some things must be done,” Xu Zhi said softly. “The martial art I cultivate might require enlightenment or completion within it. Don't worry, I have experience and confidence; I won't do anything overly risky.”

Zhi Ji's expression darkened, becoming utterly serious. A light flashed in her eyes, which had momentarily turned pale. She asked earnestly, “Tell me honestly, do you truly have the confidence to do this?”

Evidently, she had used her power to discern truth from falsehood.

This power consumed a considerable amount of energy.

Furthermore, she generally preferred not to use it on her husband in daily life, as it eroded trust and fostered suspicion, which was undesirable. But this situation was life-threatening.

Emperor Zhun glanced at Zhi Ji, understanding her genuine concern for him. He explained, “Don't worry, this isn't the first time I've entered the Genesis. I’ve had several such experiences, so there’s no need to be concerned.”

As he spoke, he walked directly over to exchange information with the vast Medusa.

After all, he couldn't wait; some things needed to be done immediately to avoid exposure.

Soon, he stood beside Medusa, watching her effortlessly hold the massive, beautiful vortex with one hand. He said, “The Genesis vortex needs to reach a sufficient size, and there’s still some time before the complete arrival of the Creator God and the Destroyer God…”

“What are you doing here?”

Medusa asked coldly, “Don't tell me you want to experience it again?”

“Yes, to comprehend my miracle martial art, I indeed wish to enter,” Emperor Zhun replied softly.

Medusa froze, then scrutinized Emperor Zhun from head to toe. “You’re risking your life. I won’t be responsible for you.”

Emperor Zhun, however, remained silent for a moment before saying, “There’s one more thing to clarify.”

Medusa looked at Emperor Zhun, puzzled.

Emperor Zhun explained, “How could such a magnificent existence be witnessed by these new creatures? If our enemies see it, their cognition will collapse, and they’ll grasp the concepts of the Creator God and the Destroyer God, which would be extremely disadvantageous for us…”

“That’s true,” Medusa conceded, her brows relaxing. “What do you suggest?”

“We should pursue Tu Xin now and draw him into the vortex. That way, even when the vortex fully expands and the Creator God and Destroyer God descend, he won’t be able to see outside.” Medusa considered this carefully and agreed.

Starting the pursuit early wasn't a major issue now.

She nodded, then strode forward, chasing Tu Xin directly into the Sea of Chaos. She said coldly, “This vortex might not truly kill him yet, but if we pursue him now and trap him inside, perhaps that will be enough.”

Emperor Zhun said nothing more and simply walked straight into the Genesis vortex.

A whooshing sound echoed.

All around him was murkiness, chaos, and void.

“I’m in here again; it’s been a long time since I’ve witnessed this scene,” Xu Zhi mused, looking around. “It’s fundamentally not on the same level as the last time… Last time, amidst the universe’s creation and destruction, I finally cultivated the Great Universe Technique. I hope this time, it will allow me to refine it…”

He breathed deeply.

In reality, his purpose wasn’t just to enter early, but also to prompt Medusa to go out to sea and pursue Tu Xin.

Because if the “Creator God” and “Destroyer God” were to appear here, the true forms of the Immortal Saints and Tu Xin, who was not of the old creatures—beings not controlled by the Zerg—would undoubtedly recognize the Creator God’s true nature at a glance…

Therefore, going out to sea was the best option.

By trapping Tu Xin inside first, he wouldn't be able to see outside. Even if he were powerful, he would at most only hear sounds… And in the Sea of Chaos, the true forms of the Immortal Saints couldn't follow… “In the sea, there are only the Myriad Worlds. Immortal Saints can only observe the battle using their universes… In that case, the Creator God would truly be the Creator God,” Xu Zhi stated calmly.

It must be said that his plan was quite ingenious.

Meanwhile, everyone stared blankly at Emperor Zhun, who skillfully entered the Genesis, seemingly unafraid of death.

“Were his words just now true? Does he really have confidence and a trump card?” Wen Meng asked blankly.

Zhi Ji nodded. “No lies.”

These words moved the others deeply. Not a lie…

This wasn't the first time?!

That single sentence stunned those around him for a few seconds.

The implications were astounding.

If it wasn't the first time, then when was the last time?

Could it have been during the true cosmic genesis, at the very beginning of creation, during the Big Bang and Big Collapse?

Could it be that her husband was from a prehistoric cosmic era?

Older than them?

Zhi Ji felt dizzy. After all, her husband’s origins had always been mysterious, his methods endless, and he knew many hidden secrets, constantly surprising her…

It wasn't just Zhi Ji; even these Immortal Saints thought the same, their expressions shifting. It was bizarre, yet Zhi Ji’s ability couldn't be faked.

—Not his first time entering the Genesis.

Meanwhile, the players were silently astonished.

“Zhi Ji’s ability is incredible. No spies have infiltrated our Underworld forces precisely because she can discern truth from falsehood when recruiting. Zhi Ji is like a Di Ting!”

“We knew Emperor Zhun wasn’t entering for the first time… he was drawn into it last time. But he said ‘several times’… meaning it’s happened many times before. Could he really be from prehistoric times?”

“Guys, have you forgotten? Emperor Zhun’s background has always been mysterious. We only know he was taken in and trained by the Ancient Gods, but his true origins haven’t been revealed yet!”

Countless players began discussing, feeling a sense of dread.

Xu Zhi, of course, was unaware of these discussions. Even if he knew, he would only find them amusingly absurd, as his previous cosmic evolutions were far from his first time.

Yet, even if he had known their thoughts, Xu Zhi wouldn’t have cared, for he was already engulfed by a massive collapse and explosion.

“The previous instance was practically a sham… this time, it’s beginning to resemble a true cosmic phenomenon. It’s terrifying.”

Xu Zhi closed his eyes and sat cross-legged in the chaos. “All matter is being ground into the most basic particles… Even with the Great Universe Technique to absorb power from the outside, I might not be able to withstand this time.”

He felt he had fallen into danger.

Meanwhile, outside.

A rushing sound.

Saint Liu Qi had already chased Tu Xin to the edge of the sea, where he could go no further.

Thud, thud, thud.

Medusa, however, holding the immense cosmic vortex of collapse and explosion, stepped by step pursued him into the Sea of Chaos. “Tu Xin, I am ready. Come, fight me.”

Tu Xin looked at the millstone, his expression grim. It was like a tiny human dragging a massive, ten-thousand-foot flying saucer.

He immediately turned and walked away. “I admit your Dao art is invincible. That mysterious phantom is still coalescing, its outline growing clearer; the figure within the singularity might be about to descend… I don’t know what mystery lies within it. I concede defeat in this battle, but it’s impossible for you to kill me.”

A great man knows when to yield and when to stand firm.

The Sea of Chaos remained his reliance. He wasn’t foolish; his era hadn't arrived, and he was still in his opponent’s powerful era. Why should he fight recklessly?

“With such a terrifying Dao art, your speed can't possibly keep up with me. It remains a disadvantage.”

Tu Xin walked away quickly.

The aura was too terrifying; it recreated a fraction of the universe’s primordial moment. The immense power of nature was something no individual life could resist. Once caught within it, one would only be crushed alive. Even the Immortal Saints dared not approach.
