Chapter 1227 - 856: The 33 Heavens Embedded in the World Barrier

Upon hearing the Queen Mother’s words, Zhang Chen showed a thoughtful look in his eyes, then watched as the Queen Mother strided boldly into the chaos, continuously devouring the power of chaos.

At this moment, chaos within the world surged with huge waves, with the power of earth, water, wind, and fire constantly exploding, yet calming amidst the collision of waves.

"What a terrifying force, the entire chaos is boiling up. Does it seem like that power is coming from the world barrier?" Zhang Chen looked at the fluctuating power within the chaos, with some speculation in his heart.

The Queen Mother walked with bold strides, devouring all the energies in chaos as she went, seemingly becoming a bottomless pit. Whenever waves approached her, they were absorbed completely by her.

Who knows how long the Queen Mother traversed in chaos before finally arriving at the world barrier again, reaching the place embedded with the altar. Her eyes looked at the place where the altar was embedded, and her expression changed involuntarily.

Zhang Chen also stood amazed, his eyes staring blankly at the world barrier. Outside chaos, there was a strange object embedded outside the world barrier, seemingly echoing the altar from afar.

Zhang Chen recognized it at a glance, that was the Thirty-Three Heavens, as he was very familiar with them.

Within the Thirty-Three Heavens, figures flickeringly appeared. They were performing divine techniques to lock the altar, using it as a coordinate, intending to enter the Great Thousand Worlds.

"This is bad! They actually want to use the altar as an anchor point, using the Thirty-Three Heavens as a vessel, intending to break through the world barrier and barge in!" The Queen Mother’s voice showed a trace of panic, which was the first time Zhang Chen saw panic in the Queen Mother’s eyes.

The Queen Mother leaped and flew onto the altar, gazing at the chaos remotely, watching as numerous people outside chaos pushed the Thirty-Three Heavens, trying to use it to pierce the world barrier and enter the world.

"Don’t come in! Don’t ever come in!" The Queen Mother stood on the altar and roared towards outside chaos, but saw a figure emerge on the world barrier. That figure absorbed all the Queen Mother’s voice.

"Heavenly Dao Will!!!" The Queen Mother looked at the figure blocking the sound waves, a serious look in her eyes.

That figure did not speak, just stood there dazedly.

"Mother, what happened?" Zhang Chen tentatively opened his mouth to ask.

"This world wants to devour people! It lured chaos demon gods inside, wanting them to disperse their dao in the world, thereby fulfilling the world’s evolution." The Queen Mother’s voice was filled with horror.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen’s heart trembled: "Is that the world consciousness? Could the world consciousness have intellect?"

"It is the world consciousness, but it has no wisdom, only an instinct for evolution." The Queen Mother’s voice was full of bitterness: "And once primordial-level demon gods intrude, they will certainly become the best nourishment for this world."

Zhang Chen looked at the Queen Mother, then at the Thirty-Three Heavens embedded on the world barrier, pondering something.

"The Queen Mother comes from chaos yet is trapped within the Great Thousand Worlds?" This was the thought that emerged in Zhang Chen’s mind at this moment: "The Great Thousand Worlds want the Queen Mother to abandon her physical body and disperse her dao within this world, enriching its foundation, but the Queen Mother refuses, wanting to escape from this world."

This raises the question, why do those chaos demon gods go to great lengths to enter the world then?

Zhang Chen’s mind flashed with too many doubts, wanting to ask the Queen Mother, but seeing her anxious look, he feared bothering her.

But the opportunity to understand the cause of events was right in front, if he did not inquire now, he would miss the chance, so he tentatively opened his mouth to ask: "Is Madam not from this world, but from chaos?"

The Queen Mother glanced at Zhang Chen and did not hide: "This is not the case, I am not from chaos, but from another world."

"Are there other worlds within Chaos?" Zhang Chen asked in astonishment.

The Queen Mother of the West nodded, "The Chaos is vast and boundless, so of course there are other worlds. It’s just that the world I was in has reached the End of the Dharma, falling into collapse. The supreme beings of my world calculated a new path of vitality, a way for all beings to survive tribulation. Thus, the many primordial powerhouses calculated the location of this world and intended to refine the world at the End of the Dharma into the Thirty-Three Heavens and migrate the entire world into this one."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen was dumbfounded. The migration and transfer of an entire world, what a colossal project!

"Unfortunately, we miscalculated! This world’s foundation wasn’t the origin-level world we thought it could accommodate primordial powerhouses. This world is merely a Great Thousand World! I was the first to arrive and saw that this world was in the process of opening the heavens. Its Qi mechanism was vast, and I mistakenly thought it was an origin-level world, so I hurried in to harmonize and seize the opportunity. But who knew it was just a Great Thousand World, a very unique one at that. The time I entered was unfortunate, causing the Creation Primordial Spirit of this world to retain a bit of self-awareness to harmonize with the Heavenly Dao. During the construction of the World Law, a reactive transformation occurred, turning towards a prison direction, drawing the world’s power and origin to strengthen the world’s barrier, trapping me here alive, trying to entrap and kill me, allowing my origin to integrate into this world, to become this world’s nourishment."

The Queen Mother of the West poured her grievances onto Zhang Chen. These words had been pent up in her heart for a long time. What could she do? She was helpless too!

This world continuously mobilizes its origin to strengthen its barrier, constantly extracting Primordial Qi and Law Origin Qi from Heaven and Earth to reinforce the world barrier, leading to the decreasing limit of strong beings the world can accommodate.

Hearing this, Zhang Chen was stunned. He never imagined such a thing, truly going beyond his expectations.

"Did you see those Thirty-Three Heavens? The powerhouses of my world follow my trail and found this world. They were misled by me, thinking this Great Thousand World was the large world we calculated. Now they even want to use the Thirty-Three Heavens to break through this world’s Heaven and Earth barrier. Once they enter, they, like me, will be trapped in this Great Thousand World, their origin merging into this world to become its foundation, which is why I say this world will consume people!" The Queen Mother’s voice was full of solemnity.

Hearing this, Zhang Chen fell silent, looking at the Queen Mother without knowing what to say. Suddenly, he felt something amiss. By the Queen Mother’s nature, she would never explain so much to him, so why was she telling him so much now?

"This isn’t great!" Zhang Chen muttered to himself.

Sure enough, just as this thought arose in Zhang Chen’s mind, the next moment he heard the Queen Mother say, "Now I need your help. As long as you assist me with one thing, I will grant you supreme fortune and even make you a Chaos Demon God is not impossible."

Zhang Chen’s heart trembled, quickly bowing and saluting, "I don’t know what the Empress needs from me, but I am willing to go through fire and water without hesitation."

"This world barrier, I cannot pass through it because my cultivation is too high and has been locked by the Heavenly Dao, but you are different. Your cultivation is too low to even be noticed by the Heavenly Dao. As long as I secretly use the Secret Technique to help you conceal the Celestial Secret, you will surely have the opportunity to penetrate the world barrier." The Queen Mother said.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen’s heart jolted. He then subtly refused, "I wish to assist the Empress, but how do I have the skills to survive in Chaos? If I die, it’s nothing. But if I ruin the Empress’ grand plan, it would be disastrous."

The Queen Mother waved her hand, "No matter, I do not expect you to pass through this world barrier into Chaos. I just want you to try drilling into the world barrier as much as possible."

While speaking, the Queen Mother grabbed at the Qi of Chaos, condensing it into a Jade Plate, engraved with four bird script characters: "Do Not Enter!"

Then the Queen Mother extended her hand to take out the Five Directions Banner. After infusing it with vast Divine Power, she handed it to Zhang Chen, "The Five Directions Banner is sealed with a strike of my power. Later, when I strike against the world barrier, a channel can form. Quickly drill into it. At the end of the channel, use this Five Directions Banner to strike. You may be able to forge a path wide enough for you to pass through. Even if you cannot pass through it, throw this Jade Token out into Chaos. This Jade Token contains a strike of my power and should suffice to break the final world barrier, delivering the message to the outside."

Zhang Chen accepted the Five Directions Banner and Jade Token, his eyes flickering, his heart pounding. The Five Directions Banner corresponds to the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth, with the Power of the Five Elements flowing within. If mastered, it could bestow an incredible enhancement to one’s power in the Five Elements River.

But, alas, the Five Directions Banner bears the imprint of the Queen Mother. Zhang Chen dared not keep it for himself, fearing that, if detected by the Queen Mother, it would disrupt his grand plan.

At this moment, the Queen Mother continued instructing Zhang Chen, while her fiery gaze remained fixed on the Chaos world, eyes glinting with light.

"How dare I not obey the Empress’ command. It’s just... it’s just... I fear ruining the Empress’ grand scheme..." Zhang Chen hesitated, still unwilling to go in, not wanting to jump into the pit.

Upon hearing Zhang Chen’s words, the Queen Mother patted his shoulder, "I have dealt with this world’s Heavenly Dao for many years, and I will not miscalculate. You will definitely achieve my goal."

When one takes action, the Heavenly Dao brings down Celestial Punishment based on the cultivator’s strength. If the punishment the Queen Mother would face is ten, the punishment Zhang Chen would bear is only one. The difference is like night and day. For Zhang Chen, using the Queen Mother’s methods to break through the world barrier is naturally simple, encountering less resistance, and simpler to execute.
