In other words, the reason why Immortals can communicate with higher-dimensional worlds and obtain more mysterious and profound power in this Infinite City is because their ancestors actually stepped onto higher planes. The Immortals say their predecessors transformed into Heaven, so they can receive decrees that only they can hear, which is also a fact.
The Immortals call it "Heaven," the Gods regard it as "Outer Heaven," Da Xuan and humans refer to it as "high dimensions." Whatever it is called, it is an unknown that humanity faces in the process of evolution!
Just like the ancients, when looking up at the starry sky even with an empty stomach on a dark night, curious about what the universe is and what it contains, conquering land, mountains, seas, and stars... whether it is technology, cultivation, barbarism, mutation, or other forms of evolution, humanity is always climbing up the hierarchical ladder of the biological chain, seeking that elusive other shore. Compared to proving that such a shore does not exist, people are more frightened by the idea that the starry sky might be a façade, the earth a cage. If humanity did not awaken to wisdom and lived in a scripted world like Truman, losing the courage to explore might be understandable. But then there are people like Li Feng, who, despite having a fear of the ocean, strive to ride the waves and crash against the "Dimension Barrier" on the other side of the sea.
The powerful Totem Sacred Sect and the technologically advanced Da Xuan have become NPCs in the Cang Chu Divine Realm. The man in the Black Gnomon Robe knows that there is an outside world but also admits that he lacks the courage and the will to explore. Though aware that all the invasive catastrophes come from above, he dares not take a glance.
In his perspective, he sees the Cang Chu Divine Realm as a mixed pond in the high-dimensional world. Even if the high dimensions send out friendly signals, they are fishing. He would not take the bait for just a little temptation.
Cai Lan from the Totem Sacred Sect views Cang Chu as a prison, and there must be prison guards in a prison. Even though she has the strength to break out, she lacks the courage to do so. Her curiosity is insatiable, and like most prisoners, she always longs for freedom. However, as her thoughts become entrenched in the prison, even if the gates were opened one day, she would hesitate, wondering if it was a trap set by the prison guards of the cosmic prison to deceive her and then shoot her from a high place!
Interestingly, the Nuwa Lineage is like a little horse crossing a river.
The squirrel says, don't cross; you'll drown.
The hippopotamus says, it's okay; the water is only knee-deep; you won't drown.
The Nuwa God End is like Mama Horse, telling the little horse that they need to cross to the other shore because that's where their Emerald City is, and whether the water is deep or not, the little horse has to find out for itself.
The ceremony to honor heaven ended hastily.
Wu Hen wanted to quietly retreat to the back of the crowd, but despite the temptation of Gou Dao Liu, he couldn't abandon such a cute teammate like a newborn calf unafraid of tigers.
"Chief Li, are you hiding something from me again? To be honest, it all feels like a setup," said Wu Hen, looking helplessly at the well-dressed Li Feng.
"It's not a setup, just going with the flow. Some things are predictable. Rather than being slaughtered like sheep on the sacrificial table, why don't we put on a grand yellow robe and tell them we are Immortals descending to save the people? The upper echelons of the Human Clan know what we are, they don't care. They just need us to perform the role of Heaven Mender. The rulers of Cang Chu will build temples, worship us, and respect our descendants... They don't care about success or failure, just that someone does the job. Now, the Immortals we see in Infinite City, whether they are successful or failures, we have no answer. But which tribe among the Human Clan Ten Thousand Veins doesn't envy why they are not born Immortals? I also don't know if we are successful or not, but our Nuwa Lineage, along with the younger generation, will become the envy of the Human Clan Ten Thousand Veins, and you Black Immortal Wu Hen, will create an era, a myth," said Li Feng.
"Did you know? When I was in touch with Gao Huan, he said something similar. Chief Li, why don't you reveal your true identity?" Wu Hen said.
Li Feng raised his eyebrows, widening his eyes: "Is that so? You mean we might become the outsiders of another Nuwa God End as we walk along?"
"The dragon slayer warrior becomes the dragon. It feels like we are in a cycle," said Wu Hen.
"You reminded me, do you think the outsiders in our homeland could be the descendants of the Nuwa Lineage that was annihilated three hundred years ago? They were supposed to be Immortal," Li Feng suddenly thought of this possibility.
Wu Hen shivered at the thought!
They had been guessing whether the outsiders come from high dimensions or from another Nuwa God End.
The outsiders are technologically advanced, they possess more information about the otherworldly, and they are close to the Nuwa Lineage, even having awakening abilities...
"Have we overestimated the outsiders?" Wu Hen said.
"Before the fog lifts, the figures within are always towering and terrifying. If the ruler of Da Xuan hadn't revealed that piece of history honestly, we wouldn't have figured out the true identity of our enemy," Li Feng nodded.
Everything seemed to become clear all of a sudden, many incomprehensible things had explanations.
Why the Nuwa Lineage in Cang Chu Divine Realm is looked down upon by other humans, and why the awakening ability is seen as evil possession?
Why the Divine Realm, obviously completely isolated from the Otherworldly Dust before its fall, has the technology of the Otherworldly prematurely planted in the homeland?
It turns out there was once a Nuwa God End that stood at the same height as Da Xuan and the Holy Sect, but eventually got destroyed because of the issue of the Heaven Mender, unable to reach a consensus with the entirety of Cang Chu. They also had descendants who might have merged into other humans or continued to seek new Nuwa Divine Trees, invading the still untouched world and becoming "outsiders"!
"We know nothing about the world beyond Cang Chu," Wu Hen said.
"The Star Marker will guide us," said Li Feng.
"Star Marker?? But that's just a direction... isn't it?" Wu Hen asked, puzzled.
"I thought that too, just a direction, but after you dealt with Chang Chou, we conducted further research and gradually discovered that the Star Marker may point to the Heaven and Earth Laws mastered by Chang Chou after becoming a god. His laws are one of the key factors for us to escape from Cang Chu," said Li Feng.
"I'm not sure if I understand." Wu Hen said.
"You can think of it as Immortal Tribulation, which comes in various forms. It can temper muscles and bones, test willpower, eliminate evil, or involve worldly love. When we try to escape from the Cang Chu Divine Realm, we will also suffer from various different rules. Chang Chou, as a Fifth-class Star God, evolved his own laws during his evolution. His laws can counteract one of them," said Li Feng.
"So either we defeat all the Cang Chu Gods and master the skills to break their divine laws, or we bind these gods together, make them join us in breaking through the heavens, mending the heavens, and escaping together?" Wu Hen said.
