Simple, rustic chairs, furniture, and a study, all exuding an antique charm. Everything seemed like a typical family home, with nothing out of the ordinary.
Nesera stepped through the doorway and paused, stunned by the scene. She had imagined something dazzling and unimaginable, never expecting it to be so common.
Xu Zhi sat calmly on the sofa, drinking tea. If it were the actual orchard house, he naturally wouldn't have invited Nesera inside. However, she had already carved out this dimensional courtyard from the backyard, placing it near the sun in this part of the universe, intending it as a viewing platform for the Genesis. The room furnishings here were also temporary, so inviting Nesera in was of no consequence.
"Don't be surprised, come in," the God of Destruction said, a hint of leisure in his eyes.
Nesera was utterly shocked. If she wasn't mistaken, the God of Destruction's eyes, which had previously been cold and indifferent, now, as the embodiment of the Dao of Heaven, showed a flicker of biological sentience?
The God of Destruction was, in fact, the Creator God! He was the ancient, decaying Creator God from the future timeline. He was the manifestation of this decaying universe's will. As the Creator God, he was the convergence of all matter, laws, life, and energy in the universe—a nebulous, chaotic concept, devoid of self-awareness, the most impartial Dao of Heaven! The universe was an illusion; only the "Dao One" was real, only the Creator God was real! This was because the Creator God was the "singularity" of the Big Bang; only from that single point's explosion did the universe's prosperity come into being.
But now...
Could it be that the Creator Gods from the two timelines had converged, and the Creator God from the future, no longer holding the universe's authority, had begun to develop a self?
"It's not impossible!" Nesera frantically screamed in her mind. "The God of Destruction was previously asleep! It was precisely because he couldn't grasp the authority of this universe, possessing only a portion... And having lost that authority, he also lost the convergence of all beings' consciousness, making it possible for him to develop a self..."
She sensed something terrifying! If the potential truth about the God of Destruction came to pass...
"I know what you're thinking."
The God of Destruction, tall and upright, sat on the sofa in the room, which felt so full of human life, and said: "As the great will of the entire universe, I should have been emotionless... But within a single cosmic timeline, there can only be one Dao One, governing all cosmic order... The God of Destruction from the future timeline thus lost the great will and, consequently, began to possess a self."
So it was! It was truly so! Nesera's mind raced. No wonder he thought of finding an agent; this didn't resemble an act of an ethereal, cold will at all. It was likely that the moment he descended, he began to develop self-awareness due to the loss of his authority...
Now, this will was fully awakening. The universe's great will was truly beginning to develop self-awareness, with its own emotions, feelings, and thoughts—this was truly alarming!
The God of Destruction looked at Nesera, his expression unmoving, eyes downcast, and took a sip of tea. "I know what you're thinking. Don't worry too much... Once I defeat this era's Creator God, the will of all beings, laws, and regulations of the entire grand universe will be re-infused into me, and I will once again become the Creator God, as cold and distant as the eternal Dao of Heaven, orchestrating the laws of all universes."
Defeat? Nesera's heart remained unsettled. The information revealed in that single sentence was still immense! Although the current God of Destruction was far less powerful than the true Creator God, the Creator God was an ethereal, governing will, a selfless and emotionless embodiment of concepts. He was akin to cosmic natural phenomena like wind, tsunamis, earthquakes, or micro-explosions. The Creator God could be described as a cosmic phenomenon, a manifestation of natural laws, but one of the highest order.
"While the Creator God is indeed powerful, the God of Destruction possesses emotion, self, and thought. Fighting the emotionless with emotion... there's a possibility of victory!" As Nesera thought this, goosebumps erupted on her skin. As expected, the God of Destruction indeed brought a massive dark catastrophe upon the entire universe, potentially leading to its premature destruction! It was precisely as she had feared.
Nesera couldn't help but ask in a hushed, astonished tone, "Then how will you replace the Creator God?"
"Genesis."
As expected of the former Creator God, the God of Destruction calmly twirled his teacup and ate some fruit as he replied, "I will transform into a cosmic singularity, undergo a Big Bang, and create a new universe. This new universe will take root within the grand universe, gradually consuming it until it completely replaces it and destroys its entire epoch."
Even with just this description, Nesera envisioned an utterly terrifying future: the Catastrophe of the Dark Age! Indeed, the Super Ancient Gods' deductions after the Cosmic Garden had been correct. This universe, currently in its prime, might have its lifespan prematurely shortened by the arrival of the God of Destruction, entering an era of cosmic decay and heading towards a grand collapse.
Nesera had previously wondered how the God of Destruction would destroy the universe, but she had never imagined such a terrifying and unique method: to become a cosmic singularity and create a universe. It was truly incredible, something only the former God of Destruction could achieve.
A chill ran through Nesera's heart. "To consume the entire universe means becoming an enemy of the universe, an enemy of the Creator God... But I have no retreat. I can only continue forward with the God of Destruction. Although he currently possesses emotion, as he gradually gains mastery over the universe's authority and laws, he will slowly revert to his former state as the Creator God, once again becoming the personification of rules..."
"However, if the Creator God is reinstated, I will also be a pioneer in that new universe, capable of seizing immense opportunities."
She kept trying to process it. This was a difficult choice, but she had no alternative; she could only align herself with the God of Destruction. In the words of the players, this was likely the activation of the entire universe's main storyline.
Moreover, a supreme being, symbolizing the laws of the universe, had actually become emotional, thoughtful, and embraced mortal life... "It's like the universe's great supreme will descended, transformed into a living being, and experienced the joys and sorrows of the human world!" Nesera's mind stirred as she looked at the being before her, wondering what he was thinking.
The God of Destruction remained calm. After a while, he slowly stood up and looked out the window. "It's time to begin—to directly initiate Genesis and create a new cosmic epoch."
Nesera's heart pounded. Now?
As Nesera's mind went blank, the God of Destruction took a light step, pushed open the door, and entered the dimensional courtyard. "What is the God of Destruction going to do..."
Under the astonished gaze of Emperor Qi, Caroline, and everyone else, he ascended step by step into the sky above the dimensional courtyard, as if walking on a staircase, before descending into the dazzling, profound sea of cosmic stars.
