So why did the Source Sea become like this?
Saint Peak Lord continued, "A long time ago, the Source Sea was
completely normal. But one day, a stone statue appeared in the Source
Sea, and this stone statue was incomplete, with a crack on its body.
This stone statue was incredibly huge, even larger than a Space-Time
Territory. The moment it appeared, the living beings in billions of
territories were annihilated, and even ordinary Eternal Realm Lords
approaching it would be blasted to death by a certain power. Its
appearance caused tremors in the Source Sea's Origin. That was the
first time we witnessed the Source Sea's Origin suppressing an object
with all its might. You can probably guess what happened next: the
rules of the Source Sea changed, and some fragments of the Source
Sea's Origin burst out into the Void Region outside the Source Sea,
forming numerous Space-Time Territories. After that, the Source Sea's
Origin seemed to be wary of that stone statue, causing its power to
continuously dissipate into the Space-Time Territories, thereby leading
to the birth of vast resources in the Space-Time Territories, while very
few resources were born within the Source Sea. At that time, Ice Han
Lord and I were both at the Nine-Step Immortal Realm Lord stage,
still striving to break through to Legendary Realm Lord. We risked
approaching that statue and found that cultivation became easier, and
we also found some good things, which allowed us to break through
the restriction and advance to Legendary Realm Lord. Later, this stone
statue hid itself, and we couldn't find it anymore. Latercomers are
unaware of this matter, and we haven't informed the subsequent
Legendary Lords. But not long ago, when we went to investigate that
place in the Source Sea, we once again felt the fluctuations of that
stone statue, and now the fluctuations are growing stronger and
stronger."
