Towards Eternity
Ch 700's. The New Absolute Void
This was the place where Lin Mei was with some fellow Weng Lou in her first life accidentally entering the place of the Unknown God.
Lin Mei along with her comrades were ruthlessly killed by the Unknown God just for entering his territory unintentionally. Lin Mei managed to hold out the longest and informed Weng Lou of her whereabouts.
Unfortunately by the time Weng Lou arrived, Lin Mei was already in a severely injured state and died a few seconds after Weng Lou hugged her.
After successfully sealing the Unknown God with the help of Zhi Juan, he decided to bury Lin Mei right in that place. For his comrades who died first, there was nothing left of them to bury. Unknown God absorbed all of them to the point of not even sparing their bones.
"Please wait for me in a moment, I'll find all the parts of your soul and restore you as you are ready."
Weng Lou raised his head back and stroked the new soft gravestone. After that he sat cross-legged beside the tomb, waiting for Kong Lou to speak to him.
A few hours later.
In the same place, Weng Lou was still sitting faithfully beside Lin Mei's grave while staring at the ceiling, where the day already looked dark. The sunlight stopped coming from the ceiling.
When night finally came, Kong Lou's voice sounded inside Weng Lou's head.
"Did I keep you waiting a long time?" ask Kong Lou.
Weng Lou immediately shook his head, responding to Kong Lou's question.
"Not really, I enjoy the time that passes" said Weng Lou.
"Hahaha. I'm sorry. I need to confirm some things through your memories that I saw. Looks like you have a relationship with The Ending, I didn't think he reincarnated before me, even though I died first. My reincarnation cycle must have been having some problems. Or maybe it was because the plot of the Early Origin World land delayed my reincarnation cycle until I found a body suitable for myself to reincarnate? Ah, I don't know anymore."
Kong Lou's voice sounded a little riled up. After examining the memories of Weng Lou's life, he was able to instantly deduce The Ending who had died after him, had reincarnated first and met his reincarnated self a little longer than him, the Weng Lou.
Weng Lou himself may not have realized who the reincarnation identity of The Ending is. He also saw some people he knew since the Origin World still existed had been reincarnated in all of Weng Lou's life.
He had to say, compared to the void itself, the reincarnation wheel that continued to run was much more mysterious compared to the void that he was able to comprehend, even if it was only a small part of it.
"Then, are you going to teach me now?" asked Lou calmly.
After the heart demon from the realm of the Origin Realm's will vanished within him, his mind became much clearer, even much clearer than when he used the Soul Cleansing Technique.
"certain. Now let's start the process. You're just following every instruction from me."
After that, Kong Lou began to tell Weng Lou to meditate and focus on the plots of land within his Dantian, right in the middle of his Soul Lake.
"Since that field of land you have united with your Soul Lake and become the Soul Core, you do not have to bother in the process of uniting with yourself. Just focus on your Soul Lake, then try to absorb those plots of land using the Soul Power in your Soul Lake," Kong Lou explained.
Weng Lou immediately did as Kong Lou said. He concentrated his thoughts on his Soul Lake.
Since he was an Absolute, his Soul Lake was hundreds, even thousands of times wider than when he first entered the Soul Mastery realm and became a Soul King.
The entire Soul Power within his Soul Lake responded to his thoughts and immediately formed a gigantic vortex, with that field of land becoming the center of the gigantic vortex.
The giant vortex at first only spun at a fairly slow pace and could still be followed by an ordinary human eye. Gradually, the vortex rotated increasingly faster until only those in the Soul Mastery realm were able to see its round movements.
After some time later, the vortex had spun so fast, so fast that even a God could not see the pace of the round.
Only those in the Absolute realm like Weng Lou could see that the Soul Power within the Soul Lake was forming a vortex. Even some of the lower Absolute would have trouble seeing it.
The field ground of the Early Origin World that had turned into the Soul Core of Weng Lou seemed not to act in the slightest on the vortex at first. But over time, bit by bit the ground on the periphery began to be eroded by the vortex of Soul Power which then fused within the Soul Power.
The part of the ground that was fused in the Soul Power then began to be absorbed in Weng Lou's body through the circulation of Soul Power throughout the body carried by Weng Lou at the same time.
"I didn't explain how to absorb it, but he immediately found a way, indeed a reincarnation. I wonder if the soul grains I left behind are also reincarnated and possess intelligence like that." Kong Lou praised Weng Lou's cleverness.
"But with the way you use the Vortex of Soul Power, you will need quite a long time until you can absorb all the plots of land. While you're currently being chased for time because Zhi Juan can't handle the Unknown God alone. My old friend is not weak. If he was in his peak condition Zhi Juan wouldn't have lasted for a month, but considering that you've sealed him for thousands of years, his strength would at most be only half of what's left.
With the strength of Zhi Juan, he would be able to hold it for a few months alone. But the Unknown God would be able to recover himself during the fight. The longer the fight, the more his strength would recover to its peak state. If he became an Immortal, then the fate of everyone in this Dimension was already decided."
***
One week later.
Weng Lou in his meditation had currently absorbed ten percent of the entire land plane of the Early Origin World.
Under normal circumstances, his speed should have been extremely fast. Unfortunately, his situation is not normal now. He is being pursued by time and must complete the absorption as fast as he can.
During this absorption process his strength had developed quite well. At least he could feel the power of voidness present in his body.
That power made him able to sense also the void that existed outside the Dimension. It's just that feeling is very vague. He might be able to use the void power coming from outside the Dimension but within a ten meter radius alone, nothing more.
Still, this made him feel happy. He knew if he completed the absorption process he would be able to use a much greater void power.
But on the other hand, he also has worries. If he during this one week had only managed to complete the absorption of as much as ten percent, then the time he needed to absorb all the plots of the Early Origin World's soil was two and a half months.
It might be a short time for everyone, but not for him, especially Zhi Juan who is still fighting the Unknown God out there.
"I have to improve the absorption process. Let's finish this in a week!"
With his mind, the Vortex of Soul Power instantly revolved increasingly faster. The vortex was so fast, that the Soul Power began to overflow from within the Lake of Souls . As Weng Lou suspected, absorption became faster, but not fast enough to make Weng Lou able to complete absorption in one month only.
Two weeks later.
The absorption process of Weng Lou had reached sixty percent overall. The field of land in the middle of the Soul Lake had shrunk by more than half.
While he was absorbing the plots of land, he divided his mind and looked for a solution from this.
After thinking for half a day, he found a way. To call it a way may be wrong, it would be more appropriate to say it as an idea.
The idea is to harness the power of voidness that he has absorbed before to accelerate the absorption that occurs. This idea flashed through Weng Lou's head as he thought about how the void could absorb anything and be boundless.
If he were to use it in the Vortex of Soul Power, then it should be that the field of land could be absorbed by him much faster.
"All right, let's try to do it."
That way Weng Lou started to share his thoughts once again. His entire body which had been fused with the earth plane earlier started to emit black smoke which then entered his dantian.
That black smoke then fused with the Vortex of Soul Power in the Soul Lake. Using the direction from him, the black smoke within the vortex began to react and give off such a powerful pulling force.
As a result, the soil field began to erode much faster. Many times faster than before.
Weng Lou was satisfied because of this. The power of voidness is very useful and can be used in various things.
"Hahahaha. I seem to underestimate you too much. The fact that you are my reincarnation means that your way of thinking is at least half of my way of thinking. Attack let's see how you solve it" said Kong Lou who was amazed by Weng Lou.
Back in the Dantian Weng Lou. The ground continued to erode bit by bit. Thanks to the pull from the power of the void, the soil field erodes much faster.
This makes the absorption process also take place faster. As a result, exactly one month since Weng Lou started the absorption of the land, he had finished eroding the land.
What was left was only a statue in the field of the land. The statue was not affected by the Vortex of Soul Power nor the pull from the void power of Weng Lou and remained hovering above the Soul Lake.
Weng Lou did not try to absorb the statue. He knew the details of Kong Lou's soul were on the statue, so he stopped the vortex on the Soul Power within the Soul Lake and also stopped using black smoke.
Now he focused on absorbing the parts of the ground that were currently all over his body that were continuously being absorbed using the help of his Soul Power.
That absorption process lasted for several days, and as soon as Weng Lou finished absorbing it, he felt a change occur in his body.
There was a strength that continued to overflow in his body, even though the absorption process had been completed.
"Kgh........."
Weng Lou felt that power could be unleashed at any time, but he believed it could affect the surrounding environment.
In a hurry, Weng Lou stood up from his place. He swung his hand and a Dimensional hole was created right before him.
Without waiting any longer, he immediately jumped into it and appeared in the void.
The moment he was already in the void, the dimensional hole instantly closed.
The feeling within him grew bigger. He couldn't hold it in any longer, but he couldn't let it go in its current place either, he was too close to the Origin Dimension.
No one knew what would happen if he released her nearby.
Using the power he could use, Weng Lou flew away as far away as possible.
Within half a minute, he had been millions of kilometers away from the Dimension of Origin. The overflowing sensation continued to grow stronger. Her eyes are red. He wanted to take it off, but he realized he was still not far enough away.
Weng Lou roared. A pair of black wings appeared on his back. He flapped it and his flight rate increased.
When he was a billion kilometers away from the Dimension of Origin, he finally reached his limit.
"KGUUOAHHH!!!!"
He quickly released that overflowing feeling.
As a result, a huge explosion occurred, with him at the center.
It was a black-colored aura explosion. That aura had the same feeling as emptiness, where Weng Lou was at the moment.
The power of voidness could be felt from the aura.
The aura continued to spread until it reached a radius of one billion kilometers and finally stopped.
After the aura expanded, Weng Lou was at the center that now the power of his void had expanded. Now he could control the void completely within a radius of a billion kilometers from him.
At the same time, a strange carving symbol appeared on his back. It was a 'Void' symbol but it was still a bit faded.
Such a symbol only appeared on a true Absolute, which meant that Weng Lou had now half a step into becoming a true Absolute.
His aura that came out then seemed to fade in the void. However, the fading the aura the clearer the Void symbol on Weng Lou's back. When his entire aura completely fused with the void, the Void symbol finally became completely clear.
Both of Weng Lou's eyes immediately turned completely black.
He could see that his aura had indeed completely disappeared, but the void within a radius of a million kilometers had already become a part of it.
"Congratulations, you've finally managed to do it" Kong Lou said.
Weng Lou did not reply to his words, he actually closed both of his eyes, feeling even further his strength.
After a while, he opened it again. Both of his eyes had returned to how they were.
"I am now Absolute Void."
