Chapter 1651 Three Thousand Worlds

The Human Emperor said, “In the ancient era, the human race merely ousted the Primordial Nine Races and restricted them to a corner without exterminating them completely. On the one hand, it was because the human race had a tragic victory and needed to recuperate.” “The foundation of the Primordial Nine Races is unimaginable and it wouldn’t have been beneficial for the human race even if we continued fighting.”

Su Zimo nodded.

Both parties suffered immense losses in the ancient war.

If they were to truly fight to the death, there was a high chance that the human race would not be the master of Tianhuang Mainland at that time and it was hard to predict what sort of situation Tianhuang Mainland would be in.

“On the other hand, I was also worried about the experts of the upper world descending,”

The Human Emperor continued, “If the primordial races are truly forced into a corner, it’s not impossible for them to summon experts of the upper world either.”

Su Zimo said in a low voice, “Although that’s the case, experts of the upper world would have to pay an extremely high price for descending. Not everyone can come down.”

“Not everyone can descend into the lower worlds to save the masses without reservations like you, senior!”

Countless years had passed since the Human Emperor ascended to the upper world.

To be fair, the Human Emperor no longer had anything to do with the human race of Tianhuang Mainland.

In the eyes of the Emperors, all living beings in the world were merely ants, let alone the experts of the upper world.

However, the Human Emperor chose to descend even if he had to pay a huge price!

“Under normal circumstances, there will indeed be a situation like mine when experts of the upper world descend. They will be ostracized by the Heaven and Earth laws and their bodies will be destroyed. Their cultivation realms will fall and they will experience many serious injuries,”

The Human Emperor said, “However, after a long time, when there are imperfections in Heaven and Earth and the laws are in chaos, these situations might either intensify or…”

Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat.

Although the Human Emperor did not continue, Su Zimo had already guessed the terrifying outcome!

There was another possibility—the chaotic Heaven and Earth laws of Tianhuang Mainland would not reject experts of the upper world!

This meant that if experts of the upper world were to descend, they might be able to do so without suffering any injuries or drop in cultivation. For Tianhuang Mainland, that would be catastrophic!

The living beings of the lower worlds were only protected because of the existence of the Heaven and Earth laws.

If there were imperfections in Heaven and Earth and the laws were in chaos, once experts of the upper world were to descend, all living beings—the primordial races and Emperors included-would be nothing but fish on a chopping block!

At the mention of that, the Human Emperor sighed gently as well.

He had no choice.

He could only choose to descend upon Tianhuang Mainland so that he could fight for time for the human race! Su Zimo said, “Senior, you’ve said it yourself, that’s only the worst case scenario. After all, even you aren’t certain of the impact if there are imperfections in Heaven and Earth and the laws are in chaos.”

“Yes,”

The Human Emperor nodded and smiled bitterly. “My strength is still insufficient. If I was a truly top-tier expert of the upper world, I would be able to ignore the Heaven and Earth laws and travel between the upper and lower worlds freely.”

Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat as a blood-colored figure flashed through his mind!

That was a woman that he would never be able to forget for the rest of his life.

Die Yue!

At the thought of Die Yue, Su Zimo could not help but feel his heart pounding faster-even his blood was boiling.

Die Yue had been to Tianhuang Mainland as well!

However, be it Die Yue’s descent or departure, they did not cause much of a stir nor did they affect Tianhuang Mainland, much less destroy the Heaven and Earth laws.

In that case, wouldn’t it mean that Die Yue was even more capable than the Human Emperor?

“What’s wrong?”

Sensing Su Zimo’s abnormality, the Human Emperor asked with a smile.

Coughing gently, Su Zimo probed, “Senior, you were invincible in Tianhuang Mainland and suppressed the ten thousand races. Given your talent, wouldn’t you still be a part of the top-tier experts of the upper world after your ascension?”

He did not ask directly about Die Yue.

His emotions were extremely complicated.

He was filled with anticipation but also fear.

He was afraid that his reckless question would lead to nothing and his hopes would be dashed.

When he heard that, the Human Emperor chuckled.

“Everyone who can ascend to the upper world are all monster incarnates who once dominated over a world!”

The Human Emperor shook his head gently. “Furthermore, the upper world is extremely vast with a thousand vast worlds, countless paragons and monster incarnates! Compared to the upper world, Tianhuang Mainland is as insignificant as a speck of dust and isn’t worth mentioning.”

“The difference between me and the top experts of the upper world is still extremely great,”

“A thousand vast worlds?”

Su Zimo had a lost expression and replied instinctively.

The Human Emperor smiled gently and explained, “This is something that can only be encountered after ascending to the upper world. However, there’s no harm in telling you now.”

“Legend has it that there is a trichiliocosm in this universe with distinct levels. At the bottom, there are a billion minor chiliocosms. Like a river of sand, they can’t be calculated and Tianhuang Mainland is merely one of them.”

“Ah!”

Su Zimo’s eyes widened and he was shocked!

The Human Emperor’s words had a huge impact on Su Zimo!

Initially, when he heard about God’s Mainland in Tianhuang Mainland, he guessed that there would be many other worlds like Tianhuang Mainland and God’s Mainland.

However, he had not expected that there would be a billion of such worlds!

Tianhuang Mainland was only one of the minor chiliocosms!

Even when compared to the lower worlds, Tianhuang Mainland was nothing. It was even more insignificant when compared to the entire universe.

At that moment, Su Zimo felt that he was incomparably miniscule!

Tianhuang Mainland was like a well.

He was in the well and could only see the sky that was the size of a palm.

However, he did not know that there was a boundless firmament and vast world outside the well!

The Human Emperor waited for Su Zimo’s mind to calm down before saying, “Your comprehension of Buddhism is very deep. You should have heard of a Buddhist saying, ‘A world in a sand’.”

“Actually, that sentence is describing the billion minor chiliocosms that are like the river of sand.”

Su Zimo was enlightened.

To think that there would be such a meaning behind ‘A world in a sand’.

The Buddhist sutras had long described those secrets for future generations to comprehend.

However, if the Human Emperor had not described it, Su Zimo would not have been able to imagine that he was in such a vast world!

If there were a billion minor chiliocosms like Tianhuang Mainland, it would be as the Human Emperor had said—there would truly be many paragons and monster incarnates in the upper world!

“If there are a billion minor chiliocosms in the lower worlds, what about the upper

world?”

Su Zimo asked again.

“The so-called upper world is actually made up of a thousand medium chiliocosms. Every single medium chiliocosm is countless times larger than Tianhuang Mainland.”

The Human Emperor said, “For example, the God and Witch Realms are both part of the upper world.”

Pausing for a moment, the Human Emperor hesitated slightly. “Legend has it that there’s a boundless world above the upper world called the major chiliocosm!”

“Of course, I’m not sure about that either. It’s just a legend.”

“However, no matter what, there are a billion minor chiliocosms, a thousand medium chiliocosms and a major chiliocosm. Together, they form the trichiliocosm.”

Su Zimo had read about the trichiliocosm in the Buddhist sutras before.

Initially, he thought that the trichiliocosm meant that when worlds like Tianhuang Mainland and God’s Mainland were added together, there were three thousand of them.

However, he had not expected that the true meaning of the trichiliocosm referred to the minor, medium and major chiliocosms!
