Witch: Accumulate Experience Through The Knight Breathing Technique

Chapter 2783: Chapter 569: The Nine Great Epochs, Origins of the Abyss!

Levi estimated that the previous initiation of a mirage by the Land of Darkness was a tribulation intended to send him back to his original universe, as his existence disrupted some kind of balance that the Creator of the Multidimensional Plane wished to maintain.

Unfortunately, he’s stubbornly staying!

So, it means that he has to be careful going forward to avoid getting trapped in the mirage again, as one might not necessarily be able to return from there.

Joking aside, being a transcendent for two thousand years, who would want to return to the mundane modern civilization and be a wage slave? Here, he’s the boss! Go over there, without supernatural abilities, he’d be mere fodder, living a short life without freedom.

Levi’s mental fluctuations were naturally captured by the man.

He looked calm, then smirked:

”It seems you’ve seen a mirage too.”

”Indeed.”

The man didn’t say much else, but continued:

”In any case, the foundations we are aware of now and the fundamental framework of the universe only took shape during the [Dark Era]. Before this, whether it was chaos or primordial, there were no life forms in the true sense.

Thus the greatest lie of the gods of the astral world crumbles by itself; even the strongest one among them lacks the qualification to create the world, let alone the other Gods? They are nothing more than a bunch of cosmic parasites, where are the Gods in this world?

If considering the Land of Darkness as the mightiest Primordial Spirit, during the subsequent Dark Era, there were some entities silently nurturing and undergoing metamorphosis within it. Among them, one is known as [Abyss Worm] or [Chaos Worm], [Devourer]. It relentlessly devours material within the Land of Darkness to grow itself, possessing self-awareness, yet extremely chaotic.

It is the Abyss, differing from Nora, the Abyss wasn’t created by the Land of Darkness; it itself is a non-conventional life form.

If you could observe the Abyss from afar, you’d find it remarkably resembles a fat worm. I wasn’t very certain of my hypothesis until I was trapped there for a thousand years; I increasingly believe I am right.

Within this worm’s body, countless [Abyss Worms] are nurtured, engaging endlessly in plunder and slaughter, gradually nurturing demons.”

Levi nodded, aligning with the contents from his early studies in abyss general education courses. Some demon-lands, long polluted by demonic aura, eventually give rise to Abyss Worms, gradually differentiating into different demons. For instance, the demons in the Dragon Ruins Mysterious Realm came to be in such a manner.

The man continued:

”Therefore, to some extent, demons are indeed the oldest entities in the Multidimensional Plane, older than the gods. Over the long ages, the Abyss continually devours worlds and life, nurturing so-called abyss layers and a complete ecosystem of demons, Sauron probably reached the 666th layer, only to be stopped by the Chaotic Servant. What is beyond the 666th layer, perhaps no one knows except the Abyss.”

Hearing this, Levi suddenly asked:

”What is the relationship between Abyss Will and the Abyss?”

”I am not too sure; my personal humble opinion is that these groups of [Primordial Spirits] appeared too early, while inherently unparalleled in strength, they lack traits of conventional life forms, existing between living beings and deceased ones, similar to the self-nurtured consciousness after the creation of various worlds in the Multidimensional Plane.

Abyss Will should be some form of personality or conscious aggregate evolved by the Abyss itself. In any case, these kinds of existences often cannot actively do things but can only influence the world through other indirect means.”

”Makes sense.”

”The long years of abyssal rise and expansion are known as the [Abyss Ancient Era], where devouring and slaughter are the absolute themes.

In the early Multidimensional Plane, death was everywhere; for the Land of Darkness, it was akin to a parasite inside its body relentlessly devouring its flesh and blood, yet it couldn’t cut open its flesh or shatter its bones to pull it out.

But it certainly wouldn’t sit still and wait for its demise. I once delved into the Underworld and discovered some clues, guessing reasonably that to solve this issue, the Land of Darkness devised to support another [Primordial Spirit] residing within itself, known as [River of Death], [River of Order], being the [Reincarnator].

It is the current [Underworld Source River]. Essentially, the Underworld is a river branching throughout the Multidimensional Plane.

It exists in dimensions unseen by ordinary people, nurturing life forms that govern life and death reincarnation. On one hand, counterbalancing the Abyss, while on the other, transforming death into new life, a repetitive, endless cycle.

Under this mechanism, besides those primordial spirits similar to the Land of Darkness, and their related entities, the normal life in the Multidimensional Plane, whether barbarian tribes or wizards, eternally hover and toil between these two points of life and death.

This is the Path of Balance, the Path of Order!

Post the [Ming Ancient Era], the world’s pattern moved closer to what we have now, but two yet have not debuted, [Nightmare] and [Astral world]; their trajectories with [Abyss] and [Underworld] are quite similar. Ultimately, it’s the open struggles and covert contests among those initial [Primordial Spirits] after the chaos unfolded.

Searching for something specific, I ventured to the Nightmare World, and after studying and investigating it, I termed its core [Red and Black Mother], [Mother of Horror], likely the [Truth Seer].

This Primordial Spirit thrives by absorbing fear and other negative emotions, exposing countless life forms to the world’s [Real Face] through dreams and such, that is, Darkness, bloodiness, slaughter, death, ruthlessness...thereupon expanding the negative emotions of life forms, rapidly growing during the Ancient Era.

Haven’t you noticed?

Those Flesh and Blood Mother Trees scattered across the Nightmare World, the likes of Flesh and Blood Mountains, resembling the structure of certain life forms. We are too insignificant, blinded by a single leaf; the Nightmare World differs from the Abyss, existing solely in the spiritual dimension. Thus, no one can gaze upon the world from a God’s perspective. If one could transcend all this and view it in entirety, perhaps then, my correctness would be realized.

For the Land of Darkness, the fear-spreading Nightmare World is also an unstable factor within its body, so it imitated the previous experience and supported another primordial spirit, which can be considered as the other extreme of the Nightmare World. This entity likewise rapidly rose during the Ancient Era, becoming the other extreme of the universe.”

Levi murmured, ”Astral world!”
