When I woke up, I wanted to go home.

Chapter 327 The Boundary of the Universe

"Ninth Brother, I've been waiting for you for so long."

A hearty laugh entered Zhu Chongjiu's mind.

"Void, no...!"

You should be called delusional.

I just finished up things over there and came straight here to join you….”

Just after greeting Xu Wang, Zhu Chongjiu noticed that Xiao Hei's condition was a bit off.

As for the reason, Zhu Chongjiu could roughly guess a little.

The thing in front of me that looks like a black wall is none other than the cosmic cloud, the "Cosmic Cloud".

In other words, the entire boundary of the Proterozoic Eon was covered and surrounded by cosmic clouds.

Xiao Hei's true form is Zhouju, a kind of demonic beast born from Zhouyun.

When Zhu Chongjiu rescued Xuwang, Xuwang mentioned that their race had lived in the cosmic clouds at the edge of the universe for many years.

This is similar to the cosmic horse.

Right now, Xiao Hei is staring blankly at Zhou Yun in front of him.

His eyes revealed a range of emotions, including panic, confusion, sadness, and joy.

"Illusion, shouldn't you say something?"

Xu Wang was also looking at Xiao Hei. After hearing Zhu Chongjiu's question, he remained silent for a moment and said, "We do know something about the Zhouju race."

But the clan has an order that not a single word must be spoken about anything that exists.”

Seeing Zhu Chongjiu's brows furrow slightly, Xu Wang quickly added, "However, given our relationship, I can still reveal a little bit."

Then, Xu Wang turned around, looked at the black sky in front of him, and said softly as if recalling something ancient:

"Don't be fooled by the fact that we Void Beasts live within these cosmic clouds year after year."

In fact, the Cosmic Horse race is the original inhabitant and ruler of the Cosmic Clouds at the edge of the universe.

"We came to take over the work of the Cosmic Steed race after the Creator led the entire Cosmic Steed race away from this universe countless years ago."

Seeing that Zhu Chongjiu was about to ask more questions, Xu Wang interrupted him and continued, "You don't need to ask."

I will tell you everything that needs to be said and that I can say, without missing a single word.

If there's something I can't say, even if you wanted my life, I have nothing to say.

Our job is to take over from the Cosmic Steed and devour the Cosmic Clouds at the boundary, thereby expanding the entire Proterozoic Eon.

Prior to this, all this work had been done by their own Zeus.

Hearing this, and seeing that Xu Wang had no intention of continuing, Zhu Chongjiu, despite his earlier reminder, still casually asked:

"What's inside this cosmic cloud? Aside from you, are there no other creatures?"

Do you know how large the area covered by this cosmic cloud is?

"I can answer these questions."

Seeing that Zhu Chongjiu immediately asked a question after he stopped speaking, Xu Wang was initially worried that he might ask some taboo questions.

However, after listening, my delusional mind immediately calmed down.

"As for how large the area covered by the cosmic cloud is, I don't know either."

Don't even mention me; even if you woke up my ancestor who's been dead for millions of years, he still wouldn't be able to give you an answer.

Are there any other creatures inside this cosmic cloud?

I don't know yet.

Anyway, as far back as I can remember, I have never seen or heard of any creature other than us Void Beasts in the Cosmic Cloud.

Finally, what lies within the cosmic cloud?

To put it simply, inside the cosmic cloud, there is nothing beneath him except the cosmic cloud itself.

I remember, there was nothing there.

At this point, Xu Wang paused, smiled, and then turned to Zhu Chongjiu to continue speaking:

Since we've come this far, let me tell you something else.

We Void Beasts originally cultivated by observing the laws of the Void.

Devouring the cosmic cloud is of no use to us, but it also has no side effects.

However, after the cosmic cloud was swallowed up, the newly exposed space in the Proterozoic Universe will slowly be enveloped by the existing laws within the Proterozoic Universe.

The first thing I was tainted by was the law of emptiness.

The new laws that arise in this new space where there is nothing are of great importance to us Void Beasts.

It will be much faster than we grew up within those outdated rules.

This is why, even though those beings have all disappeared over the years, our Void Beast race has been diligently creating new worlds for the Proterozoic Era.

Alright, enough chit-chat, let me take you to the place I promised to find for you!

"You can't be saying...!"

After saying that, Zhu Chongjiu couldn't help but point to the inside of the black barrier in front of him.

"You told me back then that nothing else was needed, just safety, safety, absolute safety!"

Then I thought about it carefully, and realized that there was nowhere else that could be secure inside the cloud.

Even if all the Immortal Venerables of the entire Immortal Clan came out to search, even if they searched until they died, they still wouldn't find it.

Don't forget, the cosmic clouds isolate everything.

Even we Void Beasts dare not venture too deep, for fear that if we go too far, we will completely lose our way and be unable to get out. We can only slowly cultivate the land from the edge.

But you're different, Ninth Brother, you have him.

As he spoke, Xu Wang glanced at Xiao Hei beside Zhu Chongjiu.

"I'll take you there the first time."

Little Black, remember the way. We'll have to rely on you to get in and out in the future.

Don't expect me to be your slave.

As soon as the false words fell, the handsome young man suddenly transformed into his true form.

A colossal creature, spanning hundreds of thousands of kilometers, appeared before the two of them.

"Isn't this a humpback whale that's many times larger? Its mouth is almost a third the size of its body."

Thinking of this, Zhu Chongjiu continued to ask himself, "If the Void Beast looks like this, then what is the Ancient Kun?"

Zhu Chongjiu's whisper was heard by Desire, who had already transformed into his true form, and he replied: "Ancient Kun?"

They are merely distant descendants of us, not of pure blood; they are, in a sense, our eyes and ears as we travel through the universe.

Because we have lived on the edge of the universe for many years, we are isolated from information.

As for why I was imprisoned in the Azure God Realm in the first place?

It's because once a Void Beast reaches adulthood, it has to devour the Celestial Clouds to work, and I don't want to become a beast of burden so early, so I followed an Ancient Kun and sneaked out.

Unexpectedly...!

Forget it, it's all old news, let's not talk about it anymore.

"Come on up, I'll take you away."

Having said that, Zhu Chongjiu and Xiao Hei, who had recovered from their previous state, stood on the huge head in the void and rushed into the universe.

Half an hour later, the illusory body slowly came to a stop. Zhu Chongjiu also sensed that although the surroundings were still an endless expanse of black, it was clear that they had already broken free from the universe.

"We've arrived. The rest is up to you, Ninth Brother."

But I won't have it.

I'll continue cultivating this land for you for another hundred or two hundred years.

By then, the space here will be at least two or three times larger than when you told me about it.

In this way, I can be considered to have exceeded my task expectations.

"If you need anything, just call me, Xiao Hei. You've just arrived; if I leave you, you won't be able to find me."

After saying this, Zhu Chongjiu felt his illusory body disappear.

As for the place in front of us, how should I put it?

There was nothing there; it was completely clean.

You might say it's dark, and you can see yourself, but that's only within yourself; you can't even see the little black creature next to you.

Fortunately, it seemed that Xiao Hei knew where this place was. As soon as Xu Wang led Zhu Chongjiu into this place, Xiao Hei immediately approached Zhu Chongjiu.

At this moment, Zhu Chongjiu could only sense Xiao Hei beside him through touch.

You say it's white, but you can't even feel the light from it.

You can't feel the passage of time, the compression of space, or anything else.

Even Zhu Chongjiu's supposedly most powerful Void Law was nowhere to be found here.

Zhu Chongjiu truly didn't know what words to use to describe this place.

"Little Black, can you see me?"

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Chongjiu, still puzzled, finally asked Xiao Hei in despair.

“Ninth Brother, I can’t see you either, but I can see the cosmic clouds at the boundary of this space.”

"oh…?

This means you can get out of here, which is good.

"Then take me to the boundary between the cosmic clouds and this space."

As soon as Zhu Chongjiu finished speaking, he felt Xiao Hei gently nudge him, and one of his eyes suddenly saw the shape of Zhou Yun.

This is equivalent to his body being half inside the cosmic cloud and half inside the space that the illusion had newly developed for him.

"Ninth Brother, I can see half of you now."

Moreover, I can see directly through this cosmic cloud to the edge of the universe where we were just now.

Just as Zhu Chongjiu was experiencing the wonders of these two spaces, Xiao Hei's voice rang in his mind.

Actually, Zhu Chongjiu had always wanted to ask Xiao Hei if he remembered anything when he saw the edge of the universe.

But in the end, he held back.

He believed that if Xiao Hei wanted to tell him, he would naturally do so.

If Xiao Hei also had some unspeakable secret like Xu Wang, he didn't want to put Xiao Hei in a difficult position.

Now that Xiao Hei says he can see through the clouds, Zhu Chongjiu can't help but recall what Xu Wang had just said.

Xiao Hei is the original inhabitant here.

"it is good!

Xiao Hei, then you will help Ninth Brother protect the Dharma.

Ninth Brother wants to build a new world here.

Hearing Xiao Hei's reply, Zhu Chongjiu put aside all his thoughts.

His body sat cross-legged at the junction, entering a meditative state.
