Chapter 1353: Fleeing Part One, Originally Without Limits

Indeed, they had gambled correctly. Back in the Martial God Palace, Emperor Messiah never fought unprepared battles. So how could the God of Wisdom be so reckless? He had, after all, once outwitted the very existence of Bai Xiaosheng!

The former Martial God Palace might once again be facing an unprecedented era where both opportunity and crisis coexist.

Messiah, however, remained calm, as if he had expected this. "As someone omniscient and omnipotent as yourself, you should have long understood what has transpired these past years. Another entity has descended, and furthermore, it has gained consciousness and selfish desires...."

The Creator God said, "I naturally know what you wish to say. Nothing can be changed; let everything take its natural course."

This voice mingled with the wind, like rain, insect chirps, and bird calls—all of the universe's natural phenomena converging into a single emphatic tone. "The one that escaped was never bound; it can transform into myriad variables."

All the sounds of the wind ultimately converged into this single sentence.

Messiah suddenly fell silent, and after a long while, sighed and said, "Indeed, as the will of natural phenomena in the unseen, it is selfless, dispassionate, just, and cold.... It naturally would not care, nor would it offer any response, because any response would imply selfish intent.... That, ironically, is the most terrifying thing."

Absolute impartiality is the very essence of the universe's vast will. When the universe's will develops selfish desires and self-awareness, that is truly terrifying. Yet, at this moment, it truly would not choose to resist.

The surroundings grew quiet; suddenly, there was no sound.

Meanwhile, in the shadows.

The Mother River civilization, moving at its fastest, was already piloting vast, umbrella-shaped transparent jellyfish, slowly approaching and observing the immense, ineffable phantom.

"Another one... indeed! The aura is similar, yet different. There are actually two universe leaders?" Rong Cheng was startled, feeling a sense of bewilderment.

There were indeed two universe leaders. It seems the prehistoric cosmic meteor shower is even more mysterious than imagined.

Within this vast myriad of heavens, the Mother River players who had infiltrated were also astonished, secretly saying, "This is possible? Messiah actually has this contingency plan! Summoning the Creator God now, he's probably aiming for the 'one that escaped,' the dimensional yard!"

"Yes, that must be it."

Yuan Qinghua was also anxious and angry, saying, "Where have they talked to? They might have already completed the transfer of authority. After all, what he's doing now surely means he's confident in taking over the Creator God's yard." From the players' perspective, although they now possessed the Destroyer God's dimensional yard, the Creator God's dimensional yard was also a crucial part of their foundation, not to be lost. Furthermore, the Creator God's dimensional yard was their 'home,' their origin point, and they held deep emotional ties to the game 'Spore Evolution' from it. They all originated from there. Even though they rarely used it now, preferring the Destroyer God's dimensional yard, they still didn't want it taken from them.

"Your Majesty Messiah, do you know what you are doing?" Yuan Qinghua shouted. "This is betrayal! Turn back now! Let's work together to write the final anthem for the apocalypse!"

"You've arrived, how fast." Messiah looked up at the sky and chuckled softly: "You little ones from back then, you grew anew on that planet. After your predecessor fell, he saw that you had developed into a primitive technological society. To help you adapt, he used that 'one' to create a game called 'Spore Evolution,' allowing you to re-enter the transcendental system and revive your civilization. It seems to have been extremely effective..."

The players were deeply shaken; this was indeed their origin story. Hera and Mu Yuling, standing nearby, grew anxious.

Whoosh.

Some extremely fast universes quickly followed, their distant figures also becoming visible.

"What is that?" The arriving Saints grew even more astonished.

That colossal figure gave them a sense of natural vastness, as if they were not facing an individual being, but the entire infinitely immense universe, instilling a feeling of insurmountable power. They couldn't even muster a hint of fighting spirit. It was an esoteric and profound aura. It was like mortals on a planet encountering a torrential downpour or a hurricane—a difference not of combat power, but of dimension and level, making it impossible to approach or engage.

"This..."

"What on earth is this..."

"It feels like the universe itself."

"Could it be some special will of the heavens?"

Countless Saints and Heavenly Dao Wills watched from afar, lost in silent contemplation, their expressions solemn. However, they dared not approach, possessing no courage to draw near; that aura was too terrifying. They didn't know the true nature of the wanted criminal Messiah. Perhaps that unknown, mysterious figure could even strike them down?

At this moment, the Creator God was shrouded in a golden phantom, exuding an ineffable, sacred nobility. Towering into the clouds, the Creator God looked down upon the three figures below, who seemed like ants. Though they had seen the Creator God in past eras, they had never been so close. They felt an even vaster and profound sense of depth than before. It was as if it truly represented everything in all universes. They believed their previous perception must have been too limited; now, the higher their realm, the more profound this feeling became. They felt this vastness too, as if facing the entirety of natural universe. That pair of profound eyes, seemingly containing all the mysteries of the universe, looked down from above, like an unchanging, cold Heavenly Dao, filling Hera and Mu Yuling with an ineffable sense of awe. They looked up, the strong wind whistling past their faces, too stunned to speak.

Messiah seemed to ignore the small gathering of people nearby. Finally, he sighed, bowed respectfully to the Creator God before him, and said, "Your non-interference is also inevitable.... Of course, there's no need for interference.... The unseen grand current of destiny is inherently unchangeable. Even if they appear to have altered too many fates, or even caused another ancient entity not belonging to this universe's time and space to descend, I do not believe it can be reversed."

The Creator God calmly said, "It was you who awakened me... The authority you entrusted to me years ago has always been used by others."

Messiah did not dispute this, shaking his head and earnestly replying, "It is true that others have used it these past years. They believed I had fallen, but I am still alive. Though I am no longer entirely myself, I am still me.... What belongs to me, I must now reclaim."

The Creator God replied, "There is no problem with this. It was an equivalent exchange you performed back then; you paid and received equivalent returns. What you now seek is inherently yours.... A complete universe, however, should also have one deficiency... and this missing part should have been given to all beings."

"The children of that entity are growing in number...." The Creator God did not reply further, but his form gradually became indistinct. In the distance, he swiftly vanished into the void. "The authority you sought has already been handed over to you..."

It was likely Hermes' item, the Creator God's dimensional yard... the one that escaped. They hadn't realized this contingency existed, representing an opportunity for a comeback. "Messiah's own possession!"

"They have embarked on the wrong path. Following the grand current and integrating with it is the true way," Messiah softly said.

By this time, more Saints had arrived. However, as they watched the mysterious, natural figure gradually disappear, they dared not make any move. The oppressive feeling was too intense. Even Changsheng Saint and others, including Rong Cheng, dared not approach. This universe leader gave him an extremely cold sensation, as if it had no thoughts or self, making communication almost impossible. Moreover, this universe leader's aura was too terrifying, tens of millions of times more immense than the previous one.... It was as if the previous universe leader was merely a fragment.

Silence enveloped the surroundings. No thoughtless villainous Saints emerged to loudly question, to curse, to put on airs, or to act arrogantly. Everything remained quiet. All Saints and Heavenly Dao Wills fell into contemplation; no one wanted to be the first to act. Being the first to stand out in such a situation would be too foolish. Even though Saints in the era of myriad heavens are immortal, their lives remain incredibly precious. If the most powerful main Saint body among the heavens were to fall, it would be equivalent to being completely crippled, and countless enemies would seize the opportunity to finish them off and rise to power.

"You..." Someone tentatively questioned Messiah.

"That great being..." A bolder Saint, clenching their teeth, suddenly called out tentatively to the vast, departing figure.

Messiah, however, closed his eyes, silently watching the Creator God's departure, murmuring softly like a wise elder, "Everything they have created was destined to fail, leading instead to the beginning of more suffering. Oh, humanity, the more you struggle, the more you cling to the glory of the past, the deeper your despair becomes."

The surrounding Saints looked bewildered. The meaning implied by that sentence was too profound; it seemed to speak of the current era, yet remained elusive... They wanted to ask many things, but dared not. They looked frustrated and anxious.

Messiah sighed softly, looking up at the high firmament. "Oh, humanity, stumbling through life like sharp pebbles rolling on sand, always having to sever some things to gain others... This is equivalent exchange."

Whoosh. A great wind blew. The unseen figure of the Creator God completely vanished.

When the entire universe becomes a Zerg swarm... then the Creator God, purely based on his oppressive aura, might truly be an insurmountable Creator God. Although this Creator God did not truly possess the power to create everything.

Actually, this was also because the Creator God had grown stronger, with the Grand Universe Cultivation Method truly taking shape, encompassing everything, effectively becoming a Heavenly Dao of the universe's will in a certain sense. Even the Saints in Fengdu, the Heavenly Dao Will of the universe... Therefore, the Creator God's appearance also had an effect on them.
