With the emergence of The Underworld, the number of evil spirits in countless worlds has been greatly reduced. These souls have their own destinations, all of which are swallowed by dragon veins.
The fear caused by these evil spirits has also diminished significantly, and the number of grotesques has decreased as well.
The ghosts and demons of the Heavens and Worlds are no longer as rampant, which has alleviated the immense pressure on countless lives.
This shift has caught the attention of Grotesque Doomsday.
"Damn that Chaos City Lord. He's really good at containing all these evil spirits," Grotesque Doomsday muttered, grinding its teeth in frustration.
To be honest, when these evil spirits ran rampant across the world, countless lives were lost and the fear they instilled was overwhelming. They were the perfect material for grotesques.
Sooner or later, these evil spirits would have evolved into grotesques over time.
But now, the Chaos City Lord had used this method to directly open up the underworld. Such a move was earth-shattering, swallowing the evil spirits of countless worlds all at once.
Grotesque Doomsday had underestimated Chaos City Lord, but now it realized it had severely underestimated the other party.
Without these evil spirits, the fear that had once plagued sentient beings would now weaken countless times.
"Hmph, but this is just a small trick," it scoffed. "It can't stop the general trend at all."
"The fear of all living beings won't vanish just because of this. The number of grotesques will continue to rise. Wait and see, soon, there will be countless evil gods born across the Heavens and Worlds."
Grotesque Doomsday spoke with murderous intent.
Though the plan to destroy the world was temporarily thwarted, it was of no concern. After all, grotesques could not be eradicated, and with time, their power would only grow stronger.
It was only a matter of time before the Heavens and Worlds would be filled with grotesques.
At this moment, outside the world of chaos.
While Gu Chuan's real body was in closed-door training within Chaos City, comprehending the law of the Dao, his avatar had been heading toward the Origin Continent. After a long journey, it finally arrived.
"Is this the Continent of Origin?"
The eyes of Gu Chuan's avatar gleamed with awe.
He saw a vast continent in the distance, beyond anything he had ever imagined. It was so immense that he couldn't perceive its boundaries, even with his Divine Sense.
It was simply boundless—far larger than any universe. It dwarfed even the chaos universe.
This continent seemed to be the source of everything, containing the endless mysteries of the laws of the Great Dao, filled with rich chaos energy and the origin energy emperor.
It was clear that this continent must be brimming with treasures, beyond comparison to ordinary universes, and even the chaos universe couldn't match the Continent of Origin.
Whoosh, whoosh!!!
Gu Chuan sensed figures flying toward him from a distance. They came in various shapes and appeared to belong to races from different universes. Each of them exuded powerful auras—at least they were all World-Creation Saints who had mastered the 108 Daos.
Just looking with the naked eye, at least hundreds of thousands of them appeared.
In the chaos universe, it is difficult to find a World-Creation Saints, but upon reaching the periphery of the Origin Continent, Gu Chuan unexpectedly saw thousands of powerful beings above the level of World-Creation Saint.
However, upon deeper thought, this was to be expected.
After all, the number of universes in the world is beyond measure. Even if one universe contains such a Saint, the accumulation across all universes is staggering.
"My God, is this the legendary Continent of Origin? We have arrived. After countless epochs of time, we have finally reached it."
An World-Creation Saint exclaimed with excitement. Even after reaching such a high realm, they couldn't help but be thrilled upon seeing the Continent of Origin for the first time.
This excitement was understandable.
After all, not everyone possesses a Feng Shui Compass like Gu Chuan, which can specifically guide the location of the Continent of Origin.
Without such a compass, other Saints would struggle to find the Continent of Origin in the chaotic void, with no clear signs or markers.
These Saints didn't know how many years they had searched or how many detours they had taken, but eventually, they were fortunate enough to meet a powerful being from the Origin Continent, who then gave them the Origin Feng Shui Compass.
Only then were they able to find their way to the Continent of Origin.
Without that, they might still be lost in the chaos void, unaware of their direction.
"Fellow Daoist, may I ask if you are also new to the Origin Continent?"
At this point, the group of Saints noticed Gu Chuan and approached him enthusiastically.
"Yes, it's also my first time here," Gu Chuan replied, sensing that they had no ill intentions. He nodded, confirming that he, too, was a newcomer to the Continent of Origin.
"Fellow Daoist seems very lucky to leave your own universe for the first time and, unexpectedly, find the Continent of Origin," a Saint remarked. "We searched for an unknown amount of time in this chaos before finally finding our way. If it hadn't been for a powerful individual from the Origin Continent who kindly gave us the Origin Feng Shui Compass, we would still be lost."
"Indeed, without the compass, it would have been nearly impossible to find the Continent of Origin," Gu Chuan agreed.
"Since this is everyone's first time on the Origin Continent, why don't we travel together? We can support each other. What do you think?"
The Saint extended an invitation.
It was clear that these thousands of Saints, hailing from various universes, had come together for mutual support. Their numbers had swelled over time, now exceeding thousands.
"It's my honor."
Of course, Gu Chuan wouldn't refuse. After all, the Continent of Origin was still an unknown realm, and having companions by his side would make it much safer.
And with so many companions, he would be less conspicuous.
Whoosh, whoosh!!!
Immediately, the thousands of Saints set off towards the Continent of Origin, and within a short time, they arrived.
Rumble~~
As soon as Gu Chuan and the others entered the Origin Continent, they encountered an overwhelming force that was almost impossible to resist, and they were instantly swallowed by the continent.
It felt like a super-teleportation array, sending them to a specific location in the blink of an eye.
In an instant, they found themselves standing in an open space on the Continent of Origin.
"Such rich source energy!" a Saint exclaimed. "I can feel that the speed of cultivation here is at least tens of thousands of times faster than in my original universe!"
