Chapter 510: Chapter 300 Why Do You Like Cutting Trees So Much? (First Update)_1
Upon activating the guide given by the Food God Sect, a mysterious path unfurled before his eyes, manifesting as an ancient bronze gate that opened to another world.
The operations within the Mirror Universe were unpredictable; the other side of the passage could lead to innumerable dangers or even unimaginable realms of death.
Furthermore, while the other side might be where the Immortal Assembly was located, so much time had passed and circumstances were continuously changing beyond anyone’s ability to foresee.
But Fang Cheng was always indifferent to such uncertainties.
Stepping through, Fang Cheng immediately felt a tremendous pressure sweeping over him.
A multitude of laws here coalesced into an impenetrable celestial net, repelling all external entities. The power permeating within the net was incredibly formidable, even comparable to the real Heavenly Tao.
...
“Heavenly net?”
This Divine Skill could be considered one of the most powerful defensive techniques, with countless laws forming a dense network of protection, excluding all external matter and beings, a common defensive spell used by large Immortal Mansions.
Smaller Immortal Mansions would not employ it, as the resources within them may not even match the value of this formation.
Even Fang Cheng could not break through in the blink of an eye, but blinking twice would suffice.
After assimilating the celestial net into his grasp, Fang Cheng sensed its condition and discovered that the Immortal Laws utilized here followed the traditional protocols, yet they featured new variations—evidence that the heritage of the Immortal Way had not vanquished over the millennia but had instead continued in another form.
After a brief inspection, Fang Cheng, satisfied, restored the celestial net to its place and proceeded to follow the trail left by the Food God Sect, examining the circumstances within.
What the celestial net protected was a series of grids.
Each grid was its own small world, a display of might only a Heavenly Lord could exert, indicating that such beings had once resided here.
From the outer to the inner grids, which were studded like stars, fine threads of gold rose from the outer worlds, funneling into the inner circles as the supporting force.
Of the inner circle’s golden threads, some remained, while the rest merged into the celestial net above, becoming its energy source.
Grasping a golden thread, Fang Cheng felt it was powered by emotional energy.
Transforming emotions into energy is a technique often employed by the Demon Lords, but some of the righteous paths also make use of it, such as the Hehuan Sect and Shaolin Temple.
The path itself is not inherently good or evil; it is ultimately the person who leads.
Under these conditions, every creature within the grid served as a battery for the celestial net, sustaining this massive entity through their emotions.
Resources in the Mirror Universe were relatively scarce, making the living creatures here the most crucial resource. Their emotions became the foundation that maintained order here, likely a compromise once made by a Heavenly Lord adapting to these conditions.
Looking at the exquisitely engineered model before him, Fang Cheng marveled at the human will to survive, which could always ignite countless sparks, even in the face of the bleakest circumstances.
In the outermost grids, numbering like the sands of the Ganges, countless grids perished every second, the variegated emotions within them bursting forth violently like supernovae, then converging into the central area.
Everything in them would be annihilated, with both matter and energy returning to nothingness at that moment, while new grids would emerge from the ruins, continuing to provide emotions.
The unique composition piqued Fang Cheng’s curiosity, and as a new grid emerged, he entered, ready to see what lay inside.
Inside the grid appeared a primitive forest, yet it was not a planet, but a continent quietly floating within the grid.
There were vast forests and boundless oceans, and the spiritual energy content in the air was absurdly high, driving an astonishingly rapid pace of evolution. In one moment, polypeptide life forms filled the oceans; in the next, they could evolve into different creatures.
These beings seemed inherently hostile, engaging in slaughter immediately upon appearance, possessing both plant and animal characteristics. They required no courtship, born with the sole purpose of tearing everything in sight to shreds.
The rules of this place instilled brutality and combat into every being’s essence, their instincts driving them to fight incessantly and provide emotional energy until they reached the small world’s carrying limit and shattered into energy.
Due to the excessively high spiritual energy content, the creatures here were generally massive and fought with unparalleled ferocity.
Upon entering, Fang Cheng heard roars reverberating.

A hundred-meter-tall prehistoric tyrannosaur charged at Fang Cheng, its sharp teeth followed by an abyssal cavernous throat. Instinctively sensing Fang Cheng as a more formidable entity, it still rushed toward him and disintegrated into nothingness.
The dead dinosaur’s soul did not dissipate but fell into the ocean. Moments later, it incorporated the experiences from its failure, transforming into an even larger beast and continuing its indiscriminate assault.
This efficient utilization of souls bore a semblance to the methodologies of the Demon Sect.
Of course, here, the ultimate goal was survival. Managing to secure one’s own territory and start a self-sustaining cycle was already a remarkable feat. Fang Cheng did not judge too harshly.
