It was merely an imprint, unable to manifest without expending its stored power.
Like the Yanluo Bead in Zheng Dong's hand, which had exhausted its strength, its divine soul imprint could not communicate with Zheng Dong and had fallen into a dormant state.
Furthermore, each divine soul imprint was an independent existence.
The imprint left by the Wujian Yanluo King before Zheng Dong was unknown to Zheng Dong, nor how he obtained the Yanluo Bead in his hand.
It looked at Zheng Dong with a blank expression.
"You were able to obtain the Yanluo Bead, which means you have received my recognition. Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"I want to return to Blue Star. I wonder if senior has a way?" Zheng Dong asked.
"Blue Star?"
This divine soul imprint was left by the Wujian Yanluo King in the late mythological era. It had no idea what place the name "Blue Star" referred to.
Zheng Dong spent a considerable amount of effort to explain.
"What you call Blue Star is actually the place of origin, the core of the world. When various worlds return, they will use the location of Blue Star as a base point.
Unfortunately, I am merely a divine soul imprint and have been dormant for too long. I also do not know the location of the place of origin," said the Wujian Yanluo King.
"Does senior have any other methods?" Zheng Dong frowned.
"It all depends on your luck. I can try to send you out of this world to a nearby异世界 (yì shìjiè -异世界). If you are lucky, you might find the place of origin," said the Wujian Yanluo King.
Zheng Dong had no choice but to try first.
If it didn't work, he would have to use the time-space corridor to return to the present time-space and then find a way to see if he could return to this time-space again.
With the help of the Wujian Yanluo King, Zheng Dong passed through the world barrier of this world and arrived at the nearest 异世界 (yì shìjiè - 异世界) to this world.
However, this 异世界 (yì shìjiè - 异世界) was not Blue Star.
This disappointed Zheng Dong somewhat.
But Zheng Dong also learned the method of breaking through world barriers.
It was just more difficult without the help of the Wujian Yanluo King.
Fortunately, he could still summon his pet beasts like Xiao Zi and Youyou to help.
Under Zheng Dong's command, Xiao Zi, Youyou, and other pet beasts unleashed their strongest power.
All the power converged, causing space to constantly vibrate and collapse, forming spatial storms.
At the end of the shattered space, a transparent, diamond-like spatial barrier could be seen.
At this moment, Zheng Dong raised the Blade of the Past and forcefully split the barrier, quickly leaving this world.
Beyond the barrier was an endless void, without direction, making it easy to get lost.
Zheng Dong could only head towards the nearest world.
In this way, it was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
After trying a few times, Zheng Dong decided to give up and return to the present time-space.
After all, breaking through the barrier each time consumed a lot of energy.
Before condensing a divine personality, Zheng Dong could not do this.
So, he decided to try two more times. If he still couldn't find Blue Star, he would return to the present time-space.
Fortunately, his luck was not bad. After breaking through the barrier again, Zheng Dong discovered Blue Star, then entered Blue Star and returned to Yanhuang.
The current Yanhuang was still unaware that a devastating disaster would soon descend, and the entire Yanhuang would be destroyed.
Everywhere was still a scene of revelry and indulgence.
Zheng Dong of this time-space was still in school and had not awakened his beast-taming talent.
Zheng Dong did not intend to meet himself. Instead, he used mimicry and disguise to change his appearance, experiencing the long-lost peaceful life, enjoying the people and things around him, while searching for the future self of the Wujian Yanluo King.
He went to a snack stall outside the school and ordered a Roujiamo.
He hadn't eaten this in a long time.
Moreover, he hadn't spoken to anyone in a long time. It was a good opportunity to chat with the owner while buying something.
It was a bit awkward when it came to paying. His phone couldn't be used in this time-space, so he could only use cash.
But he hadn't used cash in a long time.
The owner noticed Zheng Dong's awkwardness.
"You didn't bring money, did you? You can pay me next time. I'm here every day anyway."
"Wait for me for a moment. I'll bring you the money right away."
Saying that, Zheng Dong used spatial teleportation and disappeared from his original spot.
The owner who was selling Roujiamo was instantly startled.
"Beastmaster? Or am I seeing things?"
Zheng Dong quickly arrived at a pet beast resource market, where various resources needed by pet beasts could be freely traded.
Zheng Dong had a lot of level five and six resources. These resources were not very useful to him, but they could be traded for money.
In the blink of an eye, Zheng Dong had hundreds of thousands. Not only did he pay for the Roujiamo, but he also bought a mobile phone from this time-space.
After that, he went to places he used to frequent, such as internet cafes, billiard halls, and the football field near his residential complex.
Standing on the football field, Zheng Dong looked at his own residential complex.
For a moment, he didn't dare to go back rashly.
What would he say if he saw his parents?
Zheng Dong hesitated for a while, then finally walked into his residential complex.
However, using mimicry and disguise, he transformed into someone else. Even Grandma Wang from next door didn't recognize him.
Just as he was about to get on the elevator, he encountered Grandma Wang.
Grandma Wang glanced at Zheng Dong and said nothing. A small cat was following her.
This was the mother of the time-space cat demon, who had not yet grown up.
It wasn't until Grandma Wang noticed that the floor Zheng Dong was going to was their floor.
"Young man, are you new here, or are you a delivery person?"
"My friend lives here. I'm here to see my friend."
Zheng Dong didn't say much.
If Grandma Wang noticed anything unusual, security guards would probably come over soon.
Even so, he had underestimated Grandma Wang's vigilance.
After getting off the elevator, she kept staring at him.
This left Zheng Dong with no choice but to brace himself and knock on his own door.
A familiar voice came from inside.
"Who is it?"
Zheng Dong's eyes welled up with tears. He hadn't heard his mother's voice in a long time.
"I'm looking for Zheng Dong. Is Zheng Dong here?"
Zheng Dong originally wanted to say he was an air conditioner repairman or a delivery person.
But with Grandma Wang watching from the side, he had no choice but to pretend to be his friend.
Immediately, he heard the sound of the door opening.
"You're looking for my son? He's at school. Is there something you need him for? Did this kid cause trouble outside again?"
Seeing the familiar figure appear before him, Zheng Dong almost couldn't help but reveal his true identity.
"No, it's just that he keeps asking my sister out. I wanted to talk to him."
Instantly, Zheng Dong's mother's expression changed drastically.
This kid dared to start dating early?
This was inherited from his father's bad habit. He didn't even bring her back to show me.
So, Zheng Dong's mother quickly said:
"I don't know anything about that. Come in first and tell me properly. I'll teach him a lesson later. How can you not bring more money when inviting a girl?"
This was also heard by Grandma Wang next to her, and her eyes immediately lit up with curiosity.
It was estimated that the entire residential complex would know about it before long.
Entering the house, Zheng Dong was disappointed not to see his father.
He saw his mother making tea and washing fruit, very enthusiastically.
Zheng Dong was about to lose control and reveal his identity.
It was just that he didn't know how much change this would bring to the present time-space.
If the impact was too great, the terrifying backlash force of time and space might cost him his life.
"By the way, who is your sister? Bei Wen, or Yu Qian?"
"It's Yu Qian," Zheng Dong said.
Instantly, Zheng Dong's mother's expression changed drastically, and she looked at Zheng Dong with icy eyes.
"I know the background of the classmates who are good friends with my son. Yu Qian doesn't have a brother at all, and neither does Bei Wen.
If you were to mention someone else, I might have believed you."
Zheng Dong hadn't expected to be exposed.
He also hadn't expected his mother to secretly know about his classmates.
But it made sense. His mother was a beastmaster, and she had joined the Fire God Cult and participated in the God-making plan, so she wouldn't easily believe his nonsense.
As for letting him in, it was because his mother was confident she could handle him.
"What exactly do you want when you come to my house? If you can't explain it clearly, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Zheng Dong was silent for a while, and finally decided to tell her everything. He no longer cared whether it would cause a backlash.
"Mom, it's me!"
Zheng Dong said, removing his mimicry and disguise.
Looking at Zheng Dong, who was familiar yet strange, Zheng Dong's mother Mu Xue was shocked.
Her intuition told her that the person before her was her son. The blood connection would not be wrong.
But her son had clearly gone to school in the morning, and he wasn't this old.
"Mom, don't overthink it. I used the time-space corridor to travel through time and space and returned here."
Then, Zheng Dong briefly explained the reason why he could come.
"You're saying that your dad and I will disappear soon, and only you will be left? You awakened your beast-taming talent, and it was thanks to that treasure-hunting rat?" Mu Xue said.
Zheng Dong nodded.
Mu Xue immediately believed Zheng Dong's words even more.
Zheng Dong's father had indeed brought back a treasure-hunting rat for Zheng Dong, but it was still in the laboratory and had not been brought back. Zheng Dong did not know this yet.
Moreover, they had a new experimental plan that required them to leave for a long time.
Then, Mu Xue curiously chatted with Zheng Dong.
She didn't care how she disappeared or how she died.
Instead, she kept asking Zheng Dong what he had experienced after they left.
She wanted to know everything about Zheng Dong.
Zheng Dong was also very happy.
It was also the first time he had talked so much with his mother.
Before, the most he asked when he got home was what was for dinner.
"Zheng Dong, being able to give birth to you is a miracle for your father and me. We didn't think of having another child, nor did we expect to break the limitations of mixed-blood and live for a long time. We just wanted you to live well.
Being able to see you, even if this experiment fails, your father and I will be very happy."
Zheng Dong's brow furrowed.
"Mom, can't you not go?"
"How can we not go? Arbitrarily changing things will cause great changes to the future, and the resulting backlash force of time and space is probably something you cannot bear," Mu Xue shook her head.
"Fortunately, we still have two or three months before we leave. During this time, we can spend more time with you."
"What do you want to eat? I'll cook for you?" Mu Xue continued to say.
At this moment, Zheng Dong decided to change all of this. He wanted to protect his parents and prevent them from participating in the experiment.
Even if he suffered fatal backlash, he didn't care.
After that, Zheng Dong rented a house nearby and settled down.
Stopping his parents was easy, but the difficulty lay in how to withstand the backlash force.
He probably needed to become a main god at least to withstand this backlash force of time and space.
To become a main god, one needed to construct a divine kingdom.
He needed to upgrade the domain of destiny he had constructed and turn it into the divine kingdom of destiny.
Following the normal cultivation process, it was impossible to complete it in less than one or two years.
Zheng Dong did not have this time. He needed to become a main god.
So, he condensed a clone to accompany his parents.
He himself asked the Undying Dragon God for help.
"Senior, do you have any way to help me build my divine kingdom faster?"
The Undying Dragon God lazily emerged from Xiao Qing's Sea of Endlessness and appeared before Zheng Dong.
"Why are you in such a hurry, kid? If your divine kingdom is not built well, it will affect your future cultivation, and you might even never become a Supreme Being because of it!"
"Senior, it's not that I'm in a hurry. According to the current situation, the world will be destroyed in a short time. Both the past and the future will cease to exist." Zheng Dong said.
The cycle of eras meant that the past time-space and future time-space would both be destroyed. It was impossible to hide in the past time-space to avoid the great tribulation.
The Undying Dragon God nodded.
"You are right. Even if I were to return to the early mythological era now, I couldn't. That place has already disappeared.
In a short time, the entire time-space where the mythological era was located will disappear."
In other words, that time-space would completely cease to exist, and the world would head towards destruction.
Until the end, the present time-space would also suffer a calamity and be completely destroyed, and a new era would begin.
At that time, new worlds would be born.
What the next era would be like was unknown.
Perhaps the power of laws would disappear, and a new power would be born.
The Undying Dragon God thought for a moment and said, "If you want to improve your strength quickly, you can go to the Sea of Birth."
Sea of Birth?
Zheng Dong was full of questions. He had never heard of the Sea of Birth.
"This place is called the place of origin. It was the first heaven and earth to appear in this era. It then expanded continuously, forming the world of the mythological era.
But by the end of the mythological era, the world collapsed, shattering into countless 异世界 (yì shìjiè - 异世界). Only the place of origin remained in its original position, never changing."
"As for the Sea of Birth, it is a place of nothingness. It is said that the place of origin was born from the Sea of Birth," the Undying Dragon God continued.
From nothing to something, and from something to nothing, this was in line with the rules of the cycle of eras.
It was just unknown whether the Sea of Birth had ever disappeared.
Under the guidance of the Undying Dragon God, Zheng Dong prepared to go to the Sea of Birth.
The Sea of Birth was not very large. It was located at the end of the sea, inside the Ruins of Gui Xu.
Before going to the Sea of Birth, Zheng Dong met his mother Mu Xue again.
Mu Xue was very happy. She didn't realize that the previous ones were all Zheng Dong's clones.
According to her plan, she would take Zheng Dong to an amusement park today.
She had never had time before, and she had taken Zheng Dong to an amusement park less than three times.
So, she drove with Zheng Dong to the largest amusement park in Rongcheng, Donghuang Animation Amusement Park.
There were many people here. Tourists from various districts of Rongcheng and even surrounding cities came here to play.
As soon as he arrived here, Zheng Dong felt the Yanluo Bead react, sensing the reincarnation body of the Wujian Yanluo King.
Zheng Dong was startled and quickly condensed a clone, asking it to take the Yanluo Bead to find the reincarnation body.
