However, Gu Chuan's comprehension of the Chaos Eight Trigrams technique had greatly deepened, especially after hundreds of epochs of Closed Door Training and his understanding of the Yin & Yang law. This accelerated his Cultivation Base, allowing it to progress by leaps and bounds.
His current Cultivation Base had at least reached the peak of the Immemorial Golden Immortal Realm, and he was now only one step away from reaching the Quasi-Saint Realm. His strength was significantly stronger than before.
Moreover, his primordial ancient serpent body had grown from its previous length of 50 billion kilometers to 100 billion kilometers, doubling its size.
However, this was not the most significant change. The most notable transformation was that two hands had grown from his torso.
The left hand represented Yin, and the right hand represented Yang.
This development occurred due to Gu Chuan's deep understanding of the Yin & Yang law. The integration of this power into his primordial ancient serpent body resulted in the evolution of these hands.
The hands emanated black and white qi, containing vast amounts of Yin & Yang energy. It seemed as though these hands could instantly tear apart chaos and separate Yin from Yang.
Each hand had five fingers, and it appeared that even the slightest movement of the fingers could trigger the changes of countless laws in the chaos. With each motion, the alternation of Yin and Yang occurred, revealing infinite mysteries.
"It actually grew two hands."
Gu Chuan had not anticipated such a change in his primordial ancient serpent body, but he was pleased by it. He realized that without hands, it would be inconvenient to perform many tasks.
The evolution of hands is one of the key reasons humans became a dominant race. Only with hands can one forge weapons.
If one were to crawl on all fours, they could never create tools.
Thus, this transformation in the primordial ancient serpent body was incredibly beneficial for Gu Chuan.
"By the way, I've been in Closed Door Training for hundreds of epochs. I wonder what happened to the Chaos Orb."
Gu Chuan's eyes flickered as he recalled his natal Magic Treasure, the Chaos Orb. His Divine Sense immediately immersed itself into the internal space of the Chaos Orb to sense its current state.
The first thing Gu Chuan noticed was that the Chaos Orb had grown substantially. Its internal space was now dozens of times larger than it had been before his Closed Door Training.
Initially, his Divine Sense could cover the entire Chaos Orb space, but now it felt as though it could not reach all corners, as though the space had become an infinite chaotic void.
It was important to note that both the Chaos Orb and Gu Chuan himself had evolved during this period. His Cultivation Base had reached the peak of Immemorial Golden Immortal, a significant leap forward.
Despite his own progress, he could feel the Chaos Orb's evolution happening even more rapidly than he had imagined.
The second impression he had was of the increased firmness of the Chaos Orb.
The Chaos Barrier surrounding the orb had always been incredibly strong, resistant to ordinary forces, much like the most impenetrable wall in the universe. But now, the barriers seemed even more formidable. They had turned into crystal-like walls, with the laws of chaos appearing almost as if solidified into substance.
In terms of defense, the Chaos Orb's barrier had grown several times stronger.
"Interesting."
Gu Chuan squinted his eyes. He could sense that the reason the Chaos Orb had undergone such a change and evolved so quickly was closely related to the World Tree Chen Xi and other plant gods and demons.
If one wishes to understand the world, one must consider the place that holds all living beings—this is what we call the world.
Without sentient beings, without life, what would the world be?
The world is like a house, a fortress, strong and resilient, providing protection for all life and shielding it from external dangers and disasters.
The sentient beings born within the world, in turn, develop a deep sense of gratitude toward it. The endless vows they make are absorbed into the world's crystal walls, further strengthening them.
The two—sentient beings and the world—complement each other.
Similarly, many plant-type chaos demon gods living within the Chaos Orb space felt immense gratitude for the chaotic void itself, generating a vast collective will.
These wishes were swiftly absorbed into the chaotic barrier of the Chaos Orb, causing dramatic changes, eventually transforming the barrier into a chaotic crystal wall.
This chaotic crystal wall now carries the wishes of all living beings and serves as the sanctuary for all. This made it virtually indestructible, impervious to the attempts of ordinary chaos demon gods to break it.
"Is it the wish power of all living beings? No wonder chaos requires the birth of chaos demon gods, and the prehistoric world requires creatures from the heavens.
This is the relationship between fish and water.
Fish need water, or they will die, and water also needs fish, or it will become stagnant. They are inseparable."
At this moment, Gu Chuan experienced a sudden epiphany. He felt he had gained a deeper understanding of the laws of the world. He realized that the world needs sentient beings, and sentient beings need the world.
No wonder the Chaos Orb was so eager for chaos demon gods to enter its chaotic space to survive, for these life-forms would bring immense power of wish into it.
Of course, this wish power was silent, invisible, and colorless. It could not be perceived by ordinary chaos demon gods. It was emitted unconsciously, and only the Heavenly Dao of the world could absorb and utilize it.
