Chapter 1159: 1159
Within the vast expanse of the god country, rolling waves surged on the endless Remote Ocean .
“Remote Ocean?” Luo Feng stood by the edge of the palace square, overlooking the endless Remote Ocean as his consciousness established a connection with the virtual universe to investigate for more information .
Remote Ocean… This truly boundless existence was a domain filled with endless chaotic airflow and a land impregnated with various risks and dangers . The three most dangerous lands of all were: Tilted Peak Sector, Flowing Countless Mountains, and Universe Boat .
Other than these dangerous grounds, the other most common sights within the Universe Ocean would be the countless universes!
These universes were divided into two categories . The first category was the primal universe that had been born naturally within the Universe Ocean . The primal universe was the greatest existence within the entire Universe Ocean; it was one of a kind . The birth of a primal universe led to the breeding and evolution of trillions of races, which reached the peak of reproduction, then went through deterioration or decline, and then ruination . Reincarnation followed! After the final stage of ruination, everything would return to square one, when a new cycle would begin… This was how the primal universe had given birth of billions of races—and the birth of countless great beings .
The other category was the universe created by universe supreme beings .
The cultivation levels that great beings could attain were many . Undying great beings could own their god countries . And as a great being got stronger, his god country would gradually reach completion; after he became a universe master, the space within his god country and its time laws would be complete . When he cleared the final stage and became a universe supreme being, his entire god country would undergo the final change—it would transform into a miniature universe at its most primal form . Thereafter, it would start evolving gradually .
“Miniature universes are creations of universe supreme beings; no wonder Space Ancestor has one . ”
Luo Feng sighed . Since he was about to make his way to Universe Ocean, he prepared by immersing himself in the abundant and complex information he had found .
“Right,” said Luo Feng . “The primal universe of humanity must be Teacher Origin’s creation . As he was being suppressed, the evolution of his primal universe stopped . That was why we were always in the primal stage . “
The primal universe was the point of origin of everything . It had given birth to billions of races, various types of life forms, and countless great beings .
The universe supreme beings that were born in a primal universe would henceforth create many miniature universes . Upon comparison, the miniature universes would never be comparable to the primal universe . Both were on completely different energy levels .
“One round of reincarnation… One round of reincarnation of the primal universe would give birth to countless races and a large number of great beings . ” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up . “The so-called great beings before the final stage of ruination would be life forms from the previous universe era . ”
Even the virtual universe network did not contain any background information about great beings before the final stage of ruination of each universe . Or, at least, Luo Feng did not find such information . But obviously, judging by his previous conversation with Primal Chaos City Leader, many great beings were still living even after the final stage of ruination!
“Every one of these great beings before ruination is more ancient than any of the great beings in our primal universe . ” Luo Feng mused . “Those old fellows, with their countless periods of cultivation, have survived many various ordeals in Universe Ocean . I am sure they are not a group to be trifled with . Teacher is right . By comparison, our primal universe is merely a baby’s cradle! No wonder Teacher was not prepared to let me enter Universe Ocean too early . I have to show that I had a different kind of ability to gain recognition . “

*******
Three days later .
A message arrived from Primal Chaos City Leader . The content was simple .
Luo Feng, after joint verification by Huge Axe Creator and the virtual universe system, you have contributed greatly this time, but the fragments of the Pulling Traces Diagram are individual fragments that showed no coherence . We are giving you 1,200 true treasure points for the fragments, and we are giving Ice Mountain Master 600 true treasure points to reward him for his efforts . You should prepare yourself; my deity body is rushing over from Universe Ocean . This time, I shall personally bring you into Universe Ocean in my deity form .
“Teacher’s deity form?” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up with great anticipation . “Teacher has three godly bodies . One assumes leadership duties in Primal Chaos City, another assumes leadership duties in the primal universe, and the third wanders about Universe Ocean . It is said that Teacher’s deity form that wanders in Universe Ocean has extremely high combat powers . This is something I have never seen before… Hmm . 1,200 true treasure points is twice the amount given to Teacher Uncle . Seems like the events of me providing my race with important information and helping Teacher Uncle in battle have been recognized as greater contributions . “
Luo Feng started pondering how he should make use of the 1,200 true treasure points . 1,200 true treasure points could roughly buy him an ordinary pinnacle true treasure weapon . Of course, top-tier domain type true treasures like his Flame Sand Cup would be more expensive—roughly 3,000 true treasure points . Even a slightly less superior top-tier domain type true treasure would require at least 2,000 true treasure points .
Top-tier flying palace type true treasures and top-tier soul type true treasures were all very valuable .
He already owned a soul type true treasure of the flying palace type: Blood Cloud Palace . But he dared not take it out into the open, as that would have been equivalent to revealing that he was Blood Cloud Palace Master .
“With 1,200 true treasure points, if I want to buy a top-tier flying palace type true treasure, then I do not have enough . ” Luo Feng shook his head, “As for a senior flying palace type true treasure, the price is not worth paying . Forget it . I shall just keep it for future use when I need Teacher Sitting Mountain Guest to help me with making a precious true treasure . I will make use of these 1,200 true treasure points then . “
Luo Feng had already made plans for this trip to Universe Ocean . His original earthling body would take Golden Horned Beast body and Mosha body . The combined power of these three different bodies would justify why it was not worth spending 1,200 true treasure points on a senior flying palace type true treasure .
I shall not concern myself with this anymore, thought Luo Feng . Let me familiarize myself with my Flame Sand Cup first . By using Miniature Universe, Flame Sand Cup, and Shi Wu Wings concurrently, I will have the power to run rampant in Universe Ocean .
Luo Feng stood in the sky of the vast Remote Ocean .
Hong! Long!
In an instant, the boundless, blazing flames spread out in all directions . At the core of god country, a gigantic golden fireball appeared . Luo Feng stood directly in the middle of that golden fireball .
******
In the twinkling of an eye, almost a month had passed .
Within the human territory of the primal universe—in the primal secret region where Primal Chaos City Leader resided—Thousand Treasures River was as vast and mighty as ever, loosely stretching over a width of a few light years .

“Teacher,” Luo Feng said, bowing respectfully .
“Are you ready?” asked Primal Chaos City Leader . He had donned a golden robe and had green scales all over his head . His face was cool, just like an earthling . Both eyes were peaceful like the stars in the vast sky . Just standing there, he exuded an overwhelming power, as though the surrounding time and space might explode and shatter . It was an intensely aggressive aura .
“Yes, Teacher,” Luo Feng said with a nod while observing Teacher’s deity form .
Teacher’s deity form had the exact same look as the image that often appeared within the virtual universe . The body in charge of matters within Primal Chaos City was ferocious-looking, while the body in the primal universe had to be a special life-form .
“Follow me . ” Primal Chaos City Leader nodded and led the way—first through teleportation, then followed by god country transportation .
Shua!
******
In a deserted land in the primal universe, there was a gigantic black hole . This black hole had long caused the vast surrounding starfield to fall into darkness, but two figures appeared in a flash . They were none other than Primal Chaos City Leader and Luo Feng .
“There are two ways to get to Universe Ocean,” Primal Chaos City Leader explained . “One way is to enter the interlayer of space, then teleport all the way to the other end of the interlayer where the membrane walls of the endless universe will be . Then, one can go through the walls of the universe membrane . They are strongly obstructive, but any universe master can break through them . “
Luo Feng nodded as he listened intently .
“The second way is to go through this Toya Black Hole and leave the primal universe,” Primal Chaos City Leader said . “The Toya Black Hole is said to be the strongest black hole in the whole primal universe . It has such a strong gravitational power that it keeps destroying the membrane walls, which is why, after entering the black hole, you are still able to exit right away . “
Luo Feng was shocked . “It’s really that powerful?”
“Black holes can be strong or weak,” Primal Chaos City Leader explained . “Of course, if it were so easy to walk out of here just like that, we would not allow all great beings to make their exit through here . The most important reason is that the region one reaches upon exiting the Toya Black Hole is surrounded by a total of natural 39 wormholes . “
“Natural wormholes?” Luo Feng’s eyes brightened .
“Universe Ocean is vast and boundless . ” Primal Chaos City Leader said, “Once you enter Universe Ocean, you are no longer in an area under the influence of the primal universe . You won’t be able to depend on god country transportation or the dark universe to fly . If you want to roam Universe Ocean, you can only depend on teleportation or the natural wormholes . Universe Ocean is shockingly big . Even the primal universe is only a fraction of the vast Universe Ocean . Solely depending on teleportation, how long would that take?” Primal Chaos City Leader laughed . “That’s why the natural wormholes are so important . ”
“Universe Ocean is full of illusions that are mysterious and… odious,” continued Primal Chaos City leader . “Luckily, we have many natural wormholes . Following the path along these natural wormholes from one end to the other may take a couple of billion light years . To move about quickly within Universe Ocean, the most common way is to depend on these natural wormholes . Thus, the majority of the journey will be spent moving along these wormholes . There are also some other journeys that will require teleportation . Of course, after an endlessly long period, a large quantity of natural wormholes would have been connected at two points, and these would be recorded . Thus, it is easy to find the fastest route to reach your destination . ”
Luo Feng nodded .
“Remember! Universe Ocean is different from the primal universe,” Primal Chaos City Leader said . “The unique structure of the primal universe allows you to confirm coordinates wherever you are . However, there are no ways to confirm coordinates within the Universe Ocean . So, while within Universe Ocean, carrying a map is of the utmost importance . The reference objects on the map are also very important . Based on the map and the reference objects, you will not get lost . Getting lost in the Universe Ocean is terrifying . Once you lost your way… If you think to teleport to get back on the right track, you will more likely find yourself moving further away with each teleportation . Thereafter, you will be forever lost within Universe Ocean . If you are lucky enough, you may be able to find your way back… after countless eras . “
The very idea made Luo Feng’s heart tremble .
“That is why it is necessary for every universe master to leave an avatar in the primal universe,” continued Primal Chaos City Leader . “This will prevent him from getting completely lost within Universe Ocean if he meets with unforeseen circumstances . With an avatar around, at least you are still able to obtain a map . However, even if you do obtain a map, if you get lost somewhere too far away—where you cannot find a reference object on the map—it’s also game over for you . That’s why, when you are in Universe Ocean, you had better not run about as you please . If you want to explore Universe Ocean, you must depend on flight because whatever you fly by, you can record the details of it on the map . “
Luo Feng nodded his head repeatedly . He understood .
“The places on the map with clear markings are where you can teleport,” said Primal Chaos City Leader . Then he took on a serious tone, warning, “The places the map does not cover are unknown domains where teleportation is strictly forbidden . I am going to give you the map of Universe Ocean now . This is the most detailed map known to humanity . Of course, … it is merely a tiny little region within the midst of the Universe Ocean, but at least, the three dangerous lands are included in it . “
Soon, Luo Feng received an extremely complicated and gigantic map . It was so complex that it made Luo Feng’s heart tremble .
“Let’s go!” said Primal Chaos City Leader . “We shall go to Universe Ocean . ”
Hong!
The two flew straight toward the depths of Toya Black Hole and quickly vanished from sight .

Sword System Academia
2/17 NOTICE: I'm putting this on hiatus, possibly permanently. I didn't want to spam with an "update chapter", so hopefully here and in the story blurb will get enough eyeballs. There are a couple reasons for ending SSA for now. 1) I wrote the next chapter but wasn't happy with it. I've been less and less satisfied with SSA's quality the more I thought about it. Part of the reason is... 2) I am seriously thinking about trying to publish some novels to help pay the bills, since I don't have my other source of income anymore. I have never asked for anything from SSA readers, no money, not even a review or rating. SSA is written for fun to amuse myself, primarily, and I would kind of feel bad actually charging someone money for something as unserious as that. I don't think it is good enough to ask anything in return. To use an analogy from music, SSA is more like a jam session with a bunch of friends. You're just chiling and having fun playing some music. I mean, if you are Mozart or even Eminem, your jam session is good enough to sell, but for an amateur beginner like myself, haha, no. If I want to publish something, I feel like I need to go the proper route of practice and rehearsals, which might be more similar to a classical concert performance. With SSA, I work from worldbuilding notes and a loose outline, but what you are essentially getting is the first draft with lots of so-called pantsing. Pushing out a web novel like this also means it is very difficult to go back and improve things without breaking everything else downstream. I wanted to try this "jamming" approach, as it was a good way to teach me about another aspect of writing, but to move forward, I think I need to hone my "classical" techniques, which emphasize rewriting, or at least, revising outlines. 3) While I intend to try to make $$$, my actual current goal is to "get gud". I've spent a lot of time recently trying to understand the self-publishing industry, and I'm pretty sure I can make some money by using short-term strategies with my current amateur skill level. But I've seen too many authors come and go/burnout, and really, the only way that I think I can enjoy writing and still make money on a long-term basis is to become a better writer. And the next step for me, which I haven't done much before, is to spend more time on rewriting and outlines. That is pretty much antithetical to the way SSA is developing. I've always been kind of 20/80 plotting/pantsing, but I want to spend a lot more time outlining before I even start writing. SSA jam sessions don't really fit my goal anymore. If you're curious about what's next, read on... Among other regrets, I regret not finishing SSA. It's the first story I've dropped, but then again, it's the first web novel I've attempted, so I suppose that's not a surprise. I don't think traditional web novel formats suit me that well. The whole SSA story I had loosely planned (beyond a first book or major arc) is way too large as well. Big story = good for neverending webnovel with Patreons, bad for penniless and fickle writer like me. I am currently outlining a complete trilogy to another story in great detail. I want the story to end concisely, and I also want the chance to really spend a lot of time on the full outline to spot pacing problems, character issues, lost themes, and so on. I'll still share this story on RR. What I intend to do is finish book 1, flash-publish the whole thing here for a few weeks, then publish on the big Zon. Repeat for books 2 and 3. The upcoming story will be about crafting heroes. The backdrop is an isekai-like setting, where elves will summon humans to their world as heroes, but the whole hero crafting business is still in its infancy. The elven mage researchers are figuring out how to imbue heroes with power, while the heroes are trying to figure out how to use the powers that they gain. Humans are the best hero templates because they are blank and have no intrinsic magic. Or at least that what the elves thought. The human MC has his own secrets... There will be some similarities with litrpgs, but I would call it more a progression fantasy or gamelit story. For example, the stats are very low, at least initially. Say we have a stat called Str. Going from Str = 1 to Str = 2 is a huge deal. Also, going from Dex = 0 to Dex = 1 is an even bigger deal. I guess you could call it a "low-stat litrpg", haha. Also, the heroes won't be gaining stats simply by killing things or leveling up. You can't increase stats arbitrarily, either. There will be rules to how stats can increase, and how they work with each other. The elven mages will be figuring out these rules in order to craft stronger and stronger heroes. Some inspiration will be from cultivation magic systems, but there won't be overt cultivation, at least for now. A theme I really want to explore is the idea of interactions. That includes things like hero crafter vs hero, tactics vs strategy, skill synergies, racial interactions (dwarves, elves, etc), and son. Yeah, so hero crafting. I'm super excited about this project and venturing into publishing. If you want to check out the upcoming story, you can follow my RR author profile to see when it drops here. Finally... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry that SSA is stopping, but I hope at least some of you will find the next story at least as enjoyable, if not more. Thanks to all the readers who gave SSA a shot. Big hug or solid fistbump to all of you, whichever you prefer! I hope this message is not a downer but an upper, because I am psyched!! -purlcray -------------- BLURB: Talen, youngest Master of the Koroi, makes his way to the Empire's capital to salvage his clan's fate. But the bustling city has few opportunities for the traditionalist. For the old sword clans are fading. With the rise of alchemy, gold can purchase strength that ordinarily took years of training to cultivate. Sword artists, once rare and accomplished, are quickly growing in number, especially among the wealthy noble class. Even with such alchemy, though, no one has advanced to the rank of Grandmaster in countless years. Talen's true dream is to walk the path of a sword artist to the very end while fulfilling his clan duties. And then the Swordgeists return, fabled founders of all sword arts, gods who had touched the world long ago and vanished. These myths turned into reality warn of a coming threat. Alongside this warning, they issue an invitation to the Sword System Academy, a path to power beyond the mortal realm. But first, they will hold an entrance exam... Story notes:Sword System Academia blends elements of western and asian fantasy such as xianxia and litrpg. I took parts from different genres I enjoyed and twisted them into my own creation. There will be an explicit system, both of the litrpg kind and the hard(ish) magic kind, but it is embedded within an academic structure that will develop over the course of the story. This is my attempt to design a unique type of system, the System Academia.
