Chapter 378 Illusory Power! The Primordial Ancestor's Hope for Escape?
"The power of illusion?"
Yuan Zu was puzzled. He remembered that the secret technique he taught Chen Yuan did not contain this kind of power.
A thought suddenly struck him: his grand-disciple's talent was to enhance secret techniques or treasures. It was for this reason that he had chosen to pass on the virtual universe to him.
What surprised him was that Chen Yuan could even enhance the virtual universe. You must know that he had already developed this secret technique to a level that surpassed the strongest in the universe!
But how this power arose is no longer important.
The important thing now is that the progenitor has a vague premonition that this illusory power is the path he has been searching for.
Therefore, the Primordial Ancestor did not hold back and directly asked, "Chen Yuan, I discovered a power in the origin of your virtual universe that seems to be related to illusion."
Do you know where this power comes from?
"You mean the power of illusion?" Chen Yuan felt a slight sense of satisfaction, thinking to himself that this power was precisely the path that the Primordial Ancestor would later research.
However, he quickly realized that the Primordial Ancestor was still being suppressed by the Primal Universe, and his own realm was only that of a True God. It should be noted that in the original trajectory, the Primordial Ancestor arrived at the Origin Continent and, through the extensive inheritance of the 'Heart Shadow Gate' given to him by Luo Feng, created the Eternal True God-level Virtual Universe Secret Technique, which is how he mastered the ability of illusory clones.
Therefore, even if the Primordial Ancestor had developed the secrets of the virtual universe to the level of a Void True God, he was still far from comprehending the Dao of Illusion.
But Chen Yuan was different.
Using the information seen through the "Primordial Eye" from the "Soul Binding," the system's database has collected a large amount of information about the "Illusory" branch, and this information was also added when optimizing the Virtual Universe Secret Technique.
In this way, the virtual universe he optimized possessed a trace of the power of the illusory branch, and he also mastered the ability of illusory clones, which should have been only available to those at the Eternal level.
The reason why the Primordial Ancestor cared so much about the power of illusion was naturally because this ability was the path he would research in the future.
Of course, Chen Yuan has already researched this path in advance, so the original ancestor only needs to learn from it and does not need to create the relevant path on his own.
Regarding information about the power of the Great Dao, Chen Yuan was restricted by the supreme rules and could not speak directly, so he could only vaguely say, "It should be related to my talent."
"When it was optimizing the secrets of the virtual universe, it seemed to have vaguely sensed a higher-level power, which is why the original virtual universe gained some different abilities."
"A higher level of power—" The Primordial Ancestor pondered this information and suddenly asked, "Chen Yuan, do you think there really are higher and stronger realms in this world?"
"Definitely," Chen Yuan said decisively. "Those ruins drifting in the cosmic sea, aren't they precisely representations of a higher level of civilization?"
"I understand what you're saying." The Primordial shook his head. "But what I don't understand is, how could such a powerful ancient civilization have been destroyed?"
"Currently, there are only two powerful beings in the entire universe who surpass the strongest beings in the universe, but these two are forever confined to their own small universes and are completely unable to come out."
At this point, the Primal Ancestor sighed: "So that's why I previously suspected—could all of this be a conspiracy by the Primal Universe?"
"A conspiracy in the primordial universe?" Chen Yuan smiled. "Of course not!"
"You're so sure?" The Primordial Ancestor looked at Chen Yuan with some surprise, then said, "I only learned part of the truth after I came into contact with some information after being suppressed by the Primordial Universe."
"Of course, I only understand that all of this is not due to the original cosmic will, but rather comes from the constraints of rules at a higher level."
"But we still only have a vague understanding of ancient civilizations and the truth about reincarnation."
The Primordial Ancestor stared at Chen Yuan: "Judging from your expression, you must know some secrets about ancient civilizations, right?"
Chen Yuan thought to himself, "I know all this," but at this moment he could only shake his head: "I'm sorry, Grandmaster, I do know some secrets, but due to the restrictions of the rules, I cannot reveal them."
"Bound by the rules," the Primordial Ancestor gave him a deep look: "Supreme rules?"
Chen Yuan nodded.
"I see." The Primordial Ancestor shook his head slightly. "So, the destruction of the ancient civilization and the inability of the two holy lands' progenitors to leave are both related to this rule?"
"Yes."
"Then—" the Primordial Ancestor suddenly took a deep breath and asked solemnly, "Was the so-called ancient civilization truly destroyed?"
As long as he didn't directly reveal information about the Origin Continent, he wouldn't violate the supreme rules, so Chen Yuan decisively shook his head: "No."
The primordial ancestor's eyes lit up, and then he asked, "Are the true forms of the two great holy land ancestral ancestors not in their own universes?"
"1." Chen Yuan didn't expect that the ancestor would guess the truth so quickly, so he nodded: "Yes."
"In other words—the so-called 'ancient civilization' does exist, but it's not in the cosmic ocean."
The Primordial Ancestor suddenly let out a long sigh of relief: "And both the Eastern Emperor and the Purple Moon Ancestors have already gone to the place where the ancient civilization is located, is that right?"
"Yes." Chen Yuan nodded. He had thought that the original ancestor's words would violate the supreme rules, but they did not.
It now appears that the Supreme Rules do not care about the truth of the origin continent that the life forms in the Cosmic Sea guessed for themselves.
"So this is the truth." Yuanzu sighed. "I really regret what I did back then."

?
Chen Yuan naturally knew what the Primordial Ancestor regretted, but he did not mention this topic. Instead, he said, "Grandmaster, although you were suppressed by the Primordial Universe and could not continue to cultivate, it did not prevent you from comprehending the Dao."
"I hope you will carefully comprehend this elusive power."
Chen Yuan looked at the Primordial Ancestor with a solemn expression: "According to my guess, this wisp of illusory power should be the future direction of the virtual universe."
"I've also realized that this illusory power is very important to me."
The Primordial nodded, his gaze thoughtful: "Illusory, virtual—they do sound somewhat related. So, the ultimate goal of the Virtual Universe Secret Technique is to create a completely illusory world?"
"Unlike a virtual universe, it is a virtual world directly embedded in the real world."
"It exists eternally, and there's no need for a so-called 'login device' to access it. Simply by understanding the power of illusion, one can directly transform into the illusion and walk within this illusory world."
"This—" Chen Yuan blinked, thinking that the Primordial Ancestor was indeed the Primordial Ancestor. With just this sliver of information, he was able to deduce the form of the Void Realm Great Dao.
Yes, the "ultimate form of the virtual universe" described by the original ancestor is actually the Great Dao of the Virtual Realm, a virtual world that corresponds to the real world.
In the source world where "Snow Eagle Lord" is located, there is indeed a Great Dao of the Void Realm. Therefore, cultivators in that world only need to master the "True Meaning of the Void Realm" to easily escape into the illusion and have invincible life-saving ability.
When one has mastered the Great Dao of the Void Realm to an extremely deep level, one can even achieve complete etherealization, becoming immune to any attack that does not exceed the upper limit of the source world. This is also the direction Chen Yuan is researching for the illusory branch.
Unfortunately, the Origin World, where the Origin Continent is located, does not have the Great Dao of the Void Realm, and naturally, there is no Void World, unless someone comprehends it to the extreme, creates a Void World on their own, and embeds it into the entire Origin World.
Chen Yuan can do this, and so can Yuan Zu.
However, Chen Yuan felt that compared to himself, the original ancestor might be more suitable, because his knowledge was too diverse, and the branches he had come into contact with contained several major paths. It was hard to say which path he would take in the future.
Unlike the original ancestor, he could wholeheartedly follow the illusory path. In the original trajectory, because there was no relevant Great Dao reference on the Origin Continent, he had no choice but to switch to the World Great Dao.
Now, Chen Yuan can obtain complete illusory power from the soul binding ability, and this power is hidden within the origin of his virtual universe.
In the future, if the original ancestor wants to learn, he can directly transmit these materials to the other party, so that the original ancestor will also have references.
"I wonder if, when the Primordial Ancestor focuses on comprehending the Dao of Illusion, he will become the first being in the Endless Chaotic Origin Space to master the ultimate Dao of the Soul?"
Chen Yuan thought to himself, "You must know that before Dongbo Xueying, no one in the Endless Chaos Origin Space had mastered the ultimate Dao of the Soul. Now, the Primordial Ancestor, who had a reference, has a chance to master it."
"Hmm, it could also be the second one."
Because besides the original ancestor, Chen Yuan himself can also study the ultimate path of the soul, and his speed is likely to be faster than that of the original ancestor.
"I think my master's idea is very likely."
Chen Yuan looked at Yuan Zu and said, "I suggest that you, Grandmaster, try to continue your research in this direction. I will also provide you with support."
"Once the origin of the virtual universe is separated, I will have Irele transmit all the information about the power of illusion to you."
"As for now, the period of fusion of origins is an excellent opportunity for enlightenment. I suggest that you, Grandmaster, concentrate on comprehending it."
The speed of enlightenment through research is naturally far slower than that of directly confronting the origin. The difference between the two is like the difference between comprehending the laws through secret methods and comprehending them by observing the Chaos Stele.
In the state of primordial fusion, one day of primordial comprehension is equivalent to at least one year in the normal state, not to mention that it can also draw on the computing power of the virtual universe to accelerate the process.
"That makes sense." The Primordial Ancestor nodded, his tone filled with anticipation. "Actually, I have a feeling that if I can master the application of these illusory powers, I might be able to break through the suppression of the primordial universe."
"Well—"
Chen Yuan thought to himself that the Primordial Ancestor really didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. The Primordial Universe was equivalent to an Ultimate God King, and a mere True God thought he could escape the suppression.
However, upon further reflection, he realized that there might still be hope, since there was no illusory Great Dao in this world, so there was naturally no countermeasure.
Of course, given the sheer size of the primordial universe, even those who are not adept at dealing with it cannot escape simply by comprehending a trace of illusory power.
According to his estimation, one would need to fully master at least one branch to achieve this, which is the Dao of the first level of the God King realm. It is indeed too difficult for a true god to comprehend the Dao at the God King level.
It can only be said that the original ancestor has a chance to escape, but the chance is very slim.
However, since his master was currently in a state of high spirits, Chen Yuan did not want to spoil the mood. Instead, he chimed in, "It does sound like there is a good chance. After all, the power of illusion is not under the control of the original universe, so there is naturally a lack of countermeasures."
"That's right, that's what I think too." The primordial ancestor's expression was slightly excited. After all, he had been suppressed for half of the cycle of reincarnation. How could he not be happy when he suddenly discovered hope of breaking free?
"Then Master, please continue your study. I'll go check on Irele's progress."
After Chen Yuan finished speaking, he communicated with Irelia, who was connecting to the virtual universe, through his primal power: "How is the progress?"
"Very smoothly, Master."
Ireil quickly responded: "However, there are too many things to handle in the original virtual universe. I am taking over one by one, and it cannot be finished in a short time. It is estimated that the takeover task will be completed in thirty years."
"By then, the original virtual universe can take a back seat."
"Thirty years isn't a long time." Chen Yuan nodded. "By the way, are the functions of the cultivation space still working properly?"
"Sure," Irele replied. "Currently, we've only created two cultivation spaces, which don't consume much of my computing power and won't significantly affect the expansion of the virtual universe."
"Okay, thank you for your help."
After Chen Yuan finished speaking, he turned to the Primordial Ancestor and said, "There are still thirty years until the fusion of the origins. During this time, Master, please try your best to comprehend it."
"OK."
After the ancestor finished speaking, his entire figure disappeared in front of the statue, clearly having devoted himself to enlightenment.
"I hope my master can gain something from this."
Chen Yuan whispered something, and then left.
