As Qin Chen's words fell, everyone turned to look at him.
Indeed, this seemed to be a paradox.
The information that everyone had been receiving all along was that as long as a cosmic realm produced a transcendent expert, it could break free from the cycle of reincarnation and become an immortal power.
For instance, the Dark Clan and others were originally born in a universe, and it was only after a top-tier expert emerged that the entire clan was freed from reincarnation, no longer affected by the apocalypse of the universe.
If the heavenly realm was truly the manifestation of the origin of a fallen transcendent expert, wouldn't this universe already be able to break free from reincarnation and stand tall in the cosmic sea?
Everyone was puzzled. Carefree Supreme smiled and said, "What you've heard is indeed not false. A transcendent-level expert can allow a clan to survive during the apocalypse of cosmic reincarnation, but to let an entire universe remain unrestricted by reincarnation is not something an ordinary transcendent can achieve."
"What does this mean?" Qin Chen asked, confused.
Carefree Supreme extended his hand, and the Desolate Sky Tower floated in his palm. "You just witnessed the world within the Desolate Sky Tower, which forms its own realm, vast and boundless, possessing transcendent origin. After countless years of refining, even if it's not classified as a transcendent treasure, it is not far from it."
Carefree Supreme looked up and continued, "If I can achieve transcendence and roam the cosmic sea, then within this treasure, I can naturally preserve some living beings. When the apocalypse of cosmic reincarnation arrives and the universe is destroyed, can I consider those beings inside the Desolate Sky Tower as having transcended reincarnation along with me?"
Qin Chen was taken aback. "What you mean is…"
"That's right!" Carefree Supreme smiled. "What is called transcending reincarnation is merely allowing a portion of living beings to survive alongside me, just like the small world within you. Although I do not know what that small world looks like, since it can accommodate the primordial ancestral dragon and others, it can certainly hold other living beings as well."
"If one day you transcend reincarnation and enter the cosmic sea, then this portion of living beings can naturally follow you and survive."
"However, they will forever live in your small world. Unless they reach a certain level of cultivation, they will be unable to leave your small world or enter the cosmic sea."
"This is what is known as transcending reincarnation." Carefree Supreme's gaze deepened as he looked at Qin Chen. "And your small world, while it can accommodate the primordial ancestral dragon and even more people, hundreds of thousands, millions, or even hundreds of millions, can it hold all the living beings of the entire universe?"
"For instance, if the heavenly realm is a manifestation of the origin of a fallen transcendent expert, it can accommodate countless living beings within it. However, that is only a fraction of the living beings in the heavenly realm. The heavenly realm appears vast but is actually just an extremely small part of this universe. Beyond the heavenly realm are the territories of ten thousand clans, and even that transcendent expert can likely only protect billions of living beings within the heavenly realm, while the cosmic ten thousand clans beyond the heavenly realm remain beyond their reach."
"Moreover, the heavenly realm is a manifestation of that transcendent expert's origin, and countless living beings within the heavenly realm live, cultivate, and improve relying on that person's power. Yet, how many can truly ascend or improve under such a powerful transcendent expert?" Carefree Supreme looked at Qin Chen. "For example, in your inner world, countless friends and family can reside, but upon reaching the cosmic sea, their cultivation is too weak for them to leave your inner world. Their cultivation and survival must rely on your origin power. How many can your origin elevate? To achieve the supreme realm or even transcendence?"
