Chapter 979: The Almighty of the Origin Star Will Guide Me
Looking at the Origin Star from the outside and being within the Origin Star felt completely different.
The majestic pressure of willpower existed in every corner of the Origin Star, but in reality, the pressure did not feel particularly oppressive.
It had nothing to do with Wang Ye's strong willpower.
The willpower pressure wasn't like the Ancestral Star or the Nine Calamity Star, which were refined Primal Chaos Stars with powerful and aggressive willpowers.
It was also unlike the ownerless huge chaos realms where the primal high-dimensional willpower was disorderly and chaotic, and the pressure would appear occasionally with no pattern.
It was more similar to the Primordial Star, a natural pressure.
There was no primal chaos or disorder, nor was there any offensive power after being refined. Instead, it felt that the willpower was ownerless but was still protected.
"Is it an illusion?" Wang Ye thought.
Based on what he knew, the Origin Star should be ownerless and could not be refined.
However, what he sensed so far did not seem to be the case.
"Could it be that the Origin Star was refined by an Almighty of the Origin Race?" Wang Ye knew that the Origin Star's Almighty did exist.
Although Sage Emperor did not reveal much, there was no doubt about it.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have made such a long journey to the mysterious Origin Star just for a single possibility.
However, Sage Emperor said something very interesting.
"If it were you, you might have a chance to meet him."
In other words, not everyone could meet the Origin Star's Almighty.
He had requirements.
He reckoned that Sage Emperor had not seen the Origin Star's Almighty either.
"Third Senior Sister, tell me about what you know about the Origin Star," Wang Ye said.
"Hmm? What do you want to know?" Starwish Master blinked.
"Everything." Wang Ye wasn't sure what details he had overlooked.
"Alright." Starwish Master nodded gently. "The Origin Star is divided into the surface layer, shallow layer, outer layer, middle layer, inner layer, deep layer, and the legendary core layer. There are seven layers in total. The deeper you go, the stronger the energy and pressure, and the more opportunities there are. Of course, the danger level will also increase, especially in the last three layers.
Let alone Sovereign Venerates, even Supremes might die."
Wang Ye nodded.
It was said that Eldest Senior Sister had died in the deep layer.
The dangers here only referred to the heaven dangers and restrictions of the Origin Star. It did not include the battles among the various races, like the humans and devils who were hostile to each other, or fights over treasures.
"Why do you say the core layer is legendary?" Wang Ye was very curious.
"Because it's very difficult to enter. It's said that only the lucky ones chosen by the Origin Star can enter the core layer," replied Starwish Master.
"Let me guess. The so-called lucky ones should not only be humans. It should also include devils, demons, and other powerful races," Wang Ye said.
"I think so. I'm not sure about the details," Starwish Master said. "Even across tens of thousands of eras, it's rare for humans to enter the core layer. Moreover, everyone keeps it a secret."
Wang Ye nodded.
The Origin Star was known as a great land of opportunity.
To be able to enter the core layer meant that one had obtained an opportunity. No one would be stupid enough to spread it everywhere and bring trouble upon themselves for no reason.
"Is it true that no high-dimensional race has ever entered the core layer?" Wang Ye said.
Starwish Master pondered, "Now that you mention it, it seems so. However, the Sky race and Dark race aren't interested in the Origin Star, to begin with. After all, they control the only passage and can go to the Primeval Cosmic Sea to search for opportunities."
It wasn't that they weren't interested but that the Origin Star's Almighty was a transcendent existence of the Origin race, the mortal enemies of the high-dimensional races.
"How do I enter the core layer?" Wang Ye asked.
"If you ask me, who should I ask? If I knew, I would have gone in long ago," said Starwish Master with a smile.
Wang Ye nodded. "Then follow me. I'll take you in, Third Senior Sister."
"You have a way?" Starwish Master's phoenix eyes lit up.
"No." Wang Ye was very honest. "But I think that with my talent and aptitude, I'm a super genius of the human race. There's no reason for the Origin Star's Almighty to not want to see me."
Unless the other party really has a great power and could see through him as a cheater.
"Bragging! How can it be that easy to meet the Origin Star's Almighty? You don't even know where the core layer is." Starwish Master chuckled.
"The Origin Star's Almighty will guide me," Wang Ye said seriously.
"Do you think I believe you?" Starwish Master's charming phoenix eyes swept over.
Wang Ye laughed. "I don't believe it myself."
The atmosphere between the two was harmonious. They gave off a completely different feeling from the other cultivators in the Origin Star. They didn't seem to be here to cultivate and look for opportunities. Instead, it seemed like they were here to experience life.
...
With Starwish Master leading the way, it saved a lot of time.
The two quickly passed through the first three layers and entered the middle layer.
This was already a standard training ground in the Origin Star. There were many High Dimension Lords and powerful Eternals.
The combination of Wang Ye and Starwish Master wasn't particularly outstanding here.
After all, one was a High Dimension Lord and the other was an Eternal.
Of course, their strength was another matter.
"The pressure has become much stronger." Wang Ye carefully observed every layer of the Origin Star.
It was like climbing a tall tower. The higher one went, the greater the pressure.
However, he didn't feel an invisible eye staring at him like in the Ancestral Star.
Here, the innate energy was more abundant and the Great Path was clearer.
Training here was very similar to training in the huge chaos realms, the only difference being that there were more Great Paths here.
The advantage was that one could cultivate more Great Paths, including the fusion of various Great Paths. The disadvantage was that the Great Paths were chaotic, which would interfere with and affect cultivation.
Moreover, without sufficient strength, it was dangerous to cultivate here.
Therefore, the ones who trained in the middle layer were mostly from ordinary races and the weak races that did not have huge chaos realms as territory.
As for the powerful races that were vassals to the great races, their members could enter the huge chaos realms to train.
Those who had stopped being vassals now had the Self-Improving Alliance Realm.
With a territory, there was naturally no need to take risks.
They didn't stay for long. The two quickly entered the inner layer, the third last layer of the Origin Star.
Eternal Lifeforms were no longer visible here. It was mainly High Dimension Lords, and occasionally, they would even see Sovereign Venerates.
Apart from those from powerful races and ordinary races, the number of members from great races gradually increased as well. They either came here to cultivate or to seek opportunities.
"The first time I entered the inner layer, it was Eldest Senior Sister who brought me here." Starwish Master recalled the past, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Wang Ye nodded.
He comforted Third Senior Sister.
The relationship between the senior sisters was very good. This was related to the beliefs of their Teacher.
"Did Eldest Senior Sister come to Origin Star often?" Wang Ye asked.
Starwish Master nodded. "Eldest Senior Sister is the same as you. She cultivates the four paths as one. The great path of the Primordial Star is the fusion of material and energy. That's why Eldest Senior Sister likes to cultivate in the Origin Star, where her comprehension is deeper."
"Cultivating in the Origin Star is indeed very dangerous," Wang Ye said.
When he entered the inner layer from the middle layer, he had seen a High Dimension Lord sneak attacking a cultivating Eternal. It was very immoral.
Then, he helped the High Dimension Lord kill the Eternal, because it was a devil Eternal.
The High Dimension Lord was not a good person either, so he killed him while he was at it. The former was a demon.
Starwish Master shook her head. "Teacher gave Eldest Senior Sister many life-saving treasures. Even if she were to encounter a Supreme, she would have been able to keep her life. Eldest Senior Sister's attainments in spacetime were also extremely high. Even if she was no match for the other party, she would have been able to escape easily.
Even now, I still can't believe that Eldest Senior Sister was killed by other cultivators in the deep layer."
"She might have died in heaven dangers or restrictions," Wang Ye said.
"Impossible." Starwish Master shook her head. "Senior Sister knew the deep layer like the back of her hand. She had been there dozens of times. She knows exactly where it's dangerous and where it's safe. How could she make such a mistake?"

This was what it meant for a swimmer to drown.
Wang Ye sighed in his heart.
No matter what, it was a fact that Eldest Senior Sister's life fire was extinguished.
Wait a minute.
"Are you sure Eldest Senior Sister died in the deep layer?" Wang Ye asked.
"Eldest Senior Sister had the Soul Ensnaring Dreams too. The last place we sensed her was in the deep layer," said Starwish Master.
"No." Wang Ye rejected it. "Some places can block the Soul Ensnaring Dreams. For example, areas with strong willpower or realms with energy far beyond the Soul Ensnaring Dreams. The last place you sensed her doesn't mean that it was the place where she died."
"You mean..." Starwish Master was slightly startled.
"If Eldest Senior Sister really knew the deep layer like the back of her hand, she wouldn't easily enter dangerous places. However, there's a place that she definitely won't refuse," Wang Ye said.
"The core layer," Starwish Master muttered softly.
"I'm just guessing, but we can't rule out this possibility," Wang Ye said.
Starwish Master nodded.
The atmosphere was slightly heavy.
The two didn't speak along the way.
Starwish Master felt a little sad as the surroundings reminded her of her Eldest Senior Sister.
Wang Ye's mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts.
The core layer might not be as wonderful as he imagined.
The Origin Star's Almighty was not necessarily like Sage Emperor, an amiable old man who loved to smooth things over.
He was very likely to be quite a dangerous figure.
If Eldest Senior Sister really died in the core layer, could Venerate Hope have ended up the same?
The core layer might be much more dangerous than he had imagined. It was hard to predict.
Moreover, the core layer was only a legend until now. Could it contain some unknown information?
"This trip is not simple." Wang Ye's expression was serious.
In the distance, the path leading to the deep layer could be seen.
There were many heaven dangers and restrictions there, making it extremely dangerous.
It also contained the hidden path to the core layer.
Step into the second last layer of the Origin Star, the deep layer!
Whoosh!
A bright light appeared.
Wang Ye held Third Senior Sister's hand to prevent them from getting separated.
Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat.
A formless and powerful pressure fell on him. It quickly gathered around him like a halo before disappearing into his body.
Then, he felt a faint fluctuation from afar, like an invisible thread connecting him to something.
In the distance, something seemed to be calling out to him.
Wang Ye was slightly dazed.
He looked at his Third Senior Sister who was next to him.
"Why are you looking at me?" Starwish Master was surprised. She looked at Wang Ye's hand and felt a little shy. "Can you let go of me now?"
"Third Senior Sister, do you feel an invisible call?" Wang Ye said seriously.
"How could there be?" Starwish Master had just answered when her beautiful eyes suddenly widened. She even forgot to break her hand free. "What do you mean by that? Don't tell me..."
"I sensed it." Wang Ye smiled bitterly. "The Origin Star's Almighty seems to be guiding me."
