Chapter 1 Yu Fangtuo's Choice

Yu Fangtuo stood on the deck, looking at the vast high-dimensional space, his eyes growing colder. "The Core World lineage is growing well. It won't be long before he becomes an Eternal Realm high-dimensional life."

"So, I have to kill him while he's weak," Yu Fangtuo muttered, then turned and entered the warship.

Inside the towering warship was an independent space. It was dark and cold, with 72 black pillars. Bound to some of the pillars were high-dimensional beings, their eyes open, most of them staring at Yu Fangtuo with cold hatred.

"Yu Fangtuo, I am willing to serve Er Bi. It's just a nascent high-dimensional life. In the future, I can capture three or five nascent high-dimensional lives for you. You will definitely profit from keeping me," a thin, bound high-dimensional life cried out urgently.

"Yu Fangtuo, I am good friends with Tie Fu. When I was captured, I already sent a message. He will definitely stand up for me," another high-dimensional life with deep blue skin said anxiously.

Yu Fangtuo glanced at him, "I've captured you for so long, but Tie Fu hasn't sent me any messages."

"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer," the deep blue-skinned high-dimensional life said anxiously.

"I can't wait any longer." Yu Fangtuo's gaze swept over the bound and imprisoned high-dimensional lives. "I was originally planning to gather 72 high-dimensional lives before performing another sacrifice, but a little thief from the Core World lineage has bullied me. Hmph, so I can only send you all to the abyss first."

"Yu Fangtuo, you can't..."

"Finally waited until this moment."

"Yu Fangtuo, the more abyss sacrifices you make, the deeper the erosion you will suffer. You will definitely go completely insane. Even provoking the Core World lineage, it's clear you're already severely mad. We are dead, but you won't live much longer either."

"We will be waiting for you."

These bound and imprisoned high-dimensional lives had mostly lost their will to live, and they all looked at Yu Fangtuo with hatred.

"Hahaha, the more abyss sacrifices, the deeper the erosion?" Yu Fangtuo laughed, "You pathetic fellows, I was born in the abyss, I am the child of the abyss. Performing sacrifices is to repay the abyss. The abyss's gift is not erosion, but love. The more the abyss loves, the more it bestows."

"Those who cannot bear this love will go mad, will go insane." A fierce look flashed in Yu Fangtuo's eyes, "I am different, I will definitely be able to bear the abyss's gift, and in the future, I will become an abyss lord, or even an abyss monarch."

These high-dimensional lives looked at Yu Fangtuo with pleading, disgust, or hatred.

"Two Eternal Realm, 15 nascent Realm." Yu Fangtuo looked at these high-dimensional lives. "Such a small amount of sacrifice will have a negligible impact on my strength. It should be enough to deal with that Core World lineage kid."

Performing abyss sacrifices is very common among high-dimensional lives.

Among the Yuan Chu Star's four special existences—the abyss, the Mother River, and the Core World—only sacrificing to the abyss will elicit a response and a reward.

The more one sacrifices, the more one is loved by the abyss. The abyss will bestow more and more power, and if one can bear such power, one can naturally become stronger and stronger.

Relying on external gifts, one can hope to become an abyss lord, or even an abyss monarch.

An abyss lord only needs to reach the peak of the Eternal Realm in terms of cultivation. With the power of the abyss, one is enough to rival a half-step third realm expert.

…

An abyss monarch must first reach the half-step third realm, then perform a special sacrifice to gain the infinite love and infinite gifts of the abyss, only then can one hope to become an abyss monarch. An abyss monarch is virtually invincible below the third realm.

Of course, abyss monarchs are very rare.

At least, in the intelligence Xu Jingming had gathered, there was not a single abyss monarch within nearly two thousand territories. Abyss lords, on the other hand, were common.

"Let's begin." Yu Fangtuo stood in the center, pouring his power into the sacrificial array that had long been drawn. The huge array patterns covered every part of this independent space, and after being activated by power, dense layers of patterns began to appear.

"It's coming." The bound high-dimensional lives felt a terrifying aura being drawn in and descending. Above the sacrificial array, a dark vortex appeared.

The bound high-dimensional lives had their power drawn away, their core spirit consciousness extracted, including the scales, armor, and hair on the surface, all of which were absorbed, and the power constantly poured into the dark vortex.

"Yu Fangtuo, the abyss's erosion, you will eventually perish."

"You won't live much longer either," these high-dimensional lives cursed, their bodies gradually twisting and deforming, gradually turning into ashes.

In less than five minutes, everything about those high-dimensional lives had been absorbed, leaving only seven piles of ashes behind.

Yu Fangtuo connected his consciousness to the abyss, "Great abyss, I need to use causality to kill a nascent high-dimensional life from the Core World lineage." Yu Fangtuo made his wish, and a page of yellowed paper fluttered down from the dark vortex above.

Yu Fangtuo stretched out his large, hairy hand and took the page. Looking at the dense patterns drawn on it, Yu Fangtuo revealed a satisfied smile, "Praise the abyss, the abyss is always great and fair."

"Destroying one of my consciousness avatars, seizing my treasures, bullying me?" Yu Fangtuo's eyes were cold, "I will let you know the price of bullying me."

Yu Fangtuo stood there, holding the page, and integrated his power into it, starting to activate the layers of patterns on the paper.

"The causality between me and him is so weak?" Yu Fangtuo was not skilled in the path of causality. Relying on this page of paper, he could only barely sense a vague connection between himself and the little thief from the Core World lineage.

"Even with weak causality, I can still launch a sneak attack." Yu Fangtuo stretched out a finger, and a large amount of blood flowed out from his fingertip, gurgling as it merged into the paper. The paper continuously drank the blood, and by the time it was finally full, Yu Fangtuo's eyes showed a hint of fatigue.

There was no other way. He didn't understand causality sneak attacks, so he could only rely on external objects.

"Go, kill him." Yu Fangtuo instantly activated the power of the entire page. With a hum, the paper immediately turned into flying ash, and even more mysterious power followed the vague causality, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

Core World lineage, vast and complex, if you encounter an Eternal Realm from the Core World lineage who is also proficient in causality, it is possible to destroy all my avatars.” Xu Jingming, carrying the Time Imprisonment Cage, was also rushing on the road. He wanted to conduct survival observation experiments in multiple star regions, so he was very cautious.

Maintaining friendly relations with other high-dimensional life forms, and yielding when pressured was a must.

What caused Xu Jingming to strike was limited, and it was necessary to ensure that the other party was not proficient in the Core World lineage and also not proficient in causality.

"Not proficient in either? How did they reach the Eternal Realm?" Xu Jingming still had confidence.

However, at this moment, Yu Fangtuo activated the power of the paper, and a mysterious power followed a vague causal connection!

The causality was really too vague!

The "Red Lotus Fire" lineage was good at isolating causality. Even the Nine Leaf Realm Lord's Red Lotus Fire greatly weakened causality.

The mysterious power was greatly attenuated during its transmission, losing over ninety percent of its power. Nearly a hundred true bodies scattered in different star regions were simultaneously attacked by the mysterious power.

"Ah, what is this…?! Not good!" The true bodies that were scattered everywhere could hardly resist the invasion of this mysterious power, and they were eventually annihilated.

The true body carrying the Time Imprisonment Cage was annihilated on the way, leaving only the Time Imprisonment Cage floating in place.

"What?" Xu Jingming, who was accompanying his wife Li Miao Miao in a virtual world game, also changed his expression and was invaded.

"A causal attack." On Ten Thousand Star Island, Xu Jingming, who was consulting the Island Lord of Time and Space about "Cosmic Time and Space" knowledge, frowned slightly.

The formless attack encountered heavy obstruction and weakening as it descended on Ten Thousand Star Island. When it landed on Xu Jingming, his body shook slightly, but it was still able to maintain its integrity.

"You have suffered a causal attack," said the Island Lord of Time and Space.

"Yes." Xu Jingming nodded solemnly. "My true bodies on Ten Thousand Star Island and in the Core World territory are fine. All the other true bodies were destroyed."

The power of the Core World territory was fully enhanced on the true body, making the true body extremely powerful, and its resistance was also extremely strong. This mysterious power crossed a very long distance, and passed through the weak causality. It could not possibly kill the true body in the Core World territory.

Even the true body under the protection of the Ten Thousand Star Island formation could not be killed.

"You have encountered an enemy?" asked the Island Lord of Time and Space.

"I am very friendly with other high-dimensional life forms, yielding when possible," Xu Jingming said. "Only fought with one high-dimensional life, Yu Fangtuo. He didn't say a word and directly destroyed the experimental planet, killing tens of thousands of humans used for experiments. He is only a nascent high-dimensional life, and not proficient in causality, so I am naturally not afraid of him."

"He is not proficient in causality, he may be using an external object," said the Island Lord of Time and Space.

"Yes," Xu Jingming nodded.

If Yu Fangtuo was proficient in causality, he could determine the degree of weakness between himself and Xu Jingming, and determine how much he had to pay to cause a causal strike!

Yu Fangtuo didn't understand at all, only cared about sacrificing enough external objects, even the price of sacrificing several high-dimensional life forms, Yu Fangtuo did not dare to bear!

"Temporarily avoid that Yu Fangtuo," the Island Lord of Time and Space reminded. "There is no need to fight with him."

"Yes," Xu Jingming nodded. "I have to seize the time now, and have more true bodies rush to various star regions. With more true bodies rushing at the same time, in less than half a month, I can return to that remote star region."

Within the Core World territory.

The powerful Xu Jingming looked at the beast nest in front of him: "Protected by the Core World territory, my true body easily withstood the causal attack. And… the true body within the beast nest space was not attacked at all."

Of all his true bodies, only the true body in the beast nest space was not attacked.

"That causal attack… simply didn't detect this true body." Xu Jingming whispered, "Parents, they have prepared enough for their children."
