Chapter 1131: Truth, The Birth of the Universe?

Shall we head to the Dimensional Courtyard to compete for a glimmer of opportunity?

They were puzzled by this, though it seemed to be related to the bloodlines. To them, it felt like exploring an ancient civilization's ruins for opportunities, much like their previous investigation of the Elemental Ancient Civilization's ruins.

"This place of great opportunity is connected to the God of Destruction who will arrive in the future. We cannot shirk this responsibility," the Three Pillar Gods stated first. The Primordial God nodded, pleased, and said, "We don't need to pay attention to the Abyssal Blue Divine Domain or the Fallen Civilization. Even the so-called Nine-Headed Ancient Mother is insignificant... What truly concerns beings like us is the God of Destruction from the future. This epoch's great catastrophe is even more astonishing than we imagined. The God of Destruction is an ancient concept from a future timeline, observed by beings of this era, which is why he appeared in this timeline. From my observations, he seems intent on creating a new mini-universe!"

A mini-universe? Not... a mini-world? Everyone was awestruck, their minds momentarily blank. Their cultivation was terrifyingly profound, their knowledge immensely vast; they were perfectly aware of the difference between a "mini-universe" and a "mini-world." Previously, although Caroline's mini-universe world claimed to be such, it was merely a mini-world. Even the Seven Realms Heavenly Court, the Lava Domain, the Mother River Civilization, and the Cosmic Garden were all mini-worlds, just one "realm" among the myriad realms of this universe. So, what exactly did it mean to create a new mini-universe? They were all enlightened beings who had transcended the laws of the universe—specifically, the laws of *this* universe! They cultivated the rules of this universe; even when forming their own "Dao" and creating new cosmic rules, they were merely adding to the existing framework of this universe's rules, like adding a single green leaf. They lived within this universe, cultivating its laws. The idea of creating a new universe, even a small one, sent shivers down their spines! They recalled Caroline's Heavenly Dao Piano and the chilling sense of repulsion it evoked, which utilized some unknown law from another universe.

"If a mini-universe were created, wouldn't all our cultivation, based on these laws, become invalid in that universe?" "If we were to enter such a different universe, would we be reduced to mortals?" "This, this..." They fell completely silent. They were beings living within this universe. If they traveled to the next cosmic epoch, or a prehistoric one, they would be utterly reduced to mortals, their cultivation completely inapplicable to the rules of that universe.

They suddenly recalled the Creator God's answers to their questions during the time of the Cosmic Garden. "You seek the answer to truth? To become transcendent beings of the universe?" "My answer is..." "The truth of the universe has no answer. Everything is wrong; everything is illusory. All the truths you perceive are false truths... All the true cosmic sounds you hear are the universe's lip-syncing."

This sentence echoed in their ears once more, accompanying the Primordial God's words, like a thunderclap in the heavens, resonating again in their minds. Everything is wrong! Everything is illusory! All truths are false truths! All true cosmic sounds are the universe's lip-syncing!

Yes, in this sense, what they had cultivated were all false truths, false paths! We... cannot perceive the true! Their bodies trembled slightly, whether from fear or excitement, due to the immense impact of this realization. They also knew what terrifying implications this held. And the Primordial God, it turned out, had been investigating traces of the God of Destruction since the time of the Cosmic Garden. Were they now re-connecting to the aftermath of the Cosmic Garden era? To the God of Destruction's arrival?

"A new mini-universe...?" Emperor Qi muttered hoarsely. The Primordial God shook his head, "I'm not entirely clear. I've merely seen a possibility from various clues, which is why I've asked you to prepare in advance. The disaster hidden behind this is incomparable to a situation like the Nine-Headed Ancient Mother." No wonder they were so excited and prepared for this battle, only to be dismissed by the arrival of Emperor Zun. "Our perspective is far too limited," Caroline scoffed inwardly, feeling she had somewhat failed the nurturing and expectations placed upon her. "We originally thought the Abyssal Blue Divine Domain and the Fallen Civilization, with their descending Dimensional Tenth-order Ultimates, represented a great existential crisis for us, but it turns out they were merely..." A bitter smile flickered across her face.

The Primordial God looked at them. "This event won't just involve you; others will enter as well... because the information has already spread a certain distance. It's not just about you..." "And the creation of a new mini-universe, I hope, is merely a guess... But you should enter early and prepare thoroughly, because if it comes true..." In the group's solemn gaze, the Primordial God paused, then said, "Perhaps, in the God of Destruction's Dimensional Courtyard, you will witness an unforgettable sight: the birth... of a universe."

The birth of a universe. They were utterly overwhelmed by a dreamlike sense of incredulity. How grand and vast was a universe? And they, as incredibly tiny specks in this era, mere dust motes in time, actually had the hope of witnessing the greatest miracle in the cosmos?

"So be it," the Primordial God said, sweeping his sleeve and departing, his figure gradually vanishing into the void. "May all living beings see through the illusory false path, and may I attain the true principles of the world."

All the beings present wore unprecedentedly solemn expressions. They bowed respectfully, seeing the Primordial God off.

After breaking through to the Tenth-order Ultimate and witnessing the vastness of the entire universe, where all life seemed pitifully small, he began to fully contemplate what kind of extraordinary world sandbox he wanted to create. Any so-called sandbox extraordinary world had already started to bore him. Thus, an incredibly bold idea kept emerging in his mind: "Why not create a true universe... sandbox?"

He was incredibly audacious and felt that if he didn't attempt something monumental, continuing with small sandbox extraordinary worlds would be pointless! "Though I don't know if it's achievable, one must have dreams, right?" Xu Zhi murmured. "After all, it was impossible before, but with the grand universe's quantum martial arts techniques, I've gained the understanding of the entire universe from all the Zerg, including Medusa's... This means I might be able to replicate her previous move, leading to a Genesis and a Great Collapse."

The more he thought about it, the more he felt there was an opportunity. There would be no harm in trying; if it failed, so be it, but if it succeeded, it would be truly fascinating.

"I still need to prepare," Xu Zhi said, sitting at his desk in the orchard's living room and beginning to plan. "This plan is too vast and immense; even a slight mistake could lead to complete failure."
