Chapter 1418: Truth Known by a Few

The so-called Big Bang theory posits that the universe originated from a singularity of infinite density, infinitesimal size, and boundless energy. This Big Bang then gave rise to countless colorful planets, soil, water, metals, and all matter and energy.

Even today, 14 billion years later, human observations from Earth still indicate that the edges of the universe are expanding outwards at an extremely rapid pace.

Although this cosmic sphere has already fractured into nine parts, its expansion continues to enlarge its surface area, much like a slowly inflating balloon.

But now, the process was reversing.

"The universe is rapidly collapsing, and matter is returning!!"

Xu Zhi stared intently at Tu Xin's movements, studying with utmost humility and astonishment. He secretly mused, "This person is formidable; his methods are astonishing. He's processing this massive amount of data using a specialized data processing method for the collapse and return... it's achieving twice the result with half the effort."

It was like a file compression program.

It certainly wouldn't be a simple process; it required a specific compression method to return and collapse in a spiral manner.

While the analogy of file compression might be imperfect, it nevertheless conveys the immense difficulty involved.

The amount of data in the universe amounts to far more than quadrillions upon quadrillions.

Compressing it all into a single point, one can only imagine the terror involved.

"Even compressing one's own body, treating it as a miniature universe containing all the elemental matter of the cosmos, would be an extremely difficult task—infinitely harder than compressing 1000 GB into 1 KB!"

Xu Zhi's pupils dilated slightly as he witnessed this scene, growing increasingly shocked. "This guy actually deduced a perfect and detailed method for breaking through to the Eleventh Order, even though the era for it hasn't arrived yet."

How could an Eleventh Order being escape the great cosmic collapse, survive into the next universe, and become an apex existence of the epoch?

At this moment, Tu Xin had not spoken, but his actions had already provided the answer!!

The cosmic regression means everything—trees, life, soil, metal, water—returns to a single point. As living beings, they are also part of the universe's matter, and thus cannot escape becoming part of the singularity.

Next to the massive cosmic singularity, they transform themselves into miniature singularities, collapsing their own existence to evade the regression. By doing so, they essentially 'steal' a small portion of the greater universe's returning matter, allowing themselves to survive into the next cosmic epoch.

Xu Zhi murmured softly:

"This person must have pushed himself to the point of an unimaginable receding hairline, with six brains overloaded and accelerated, just to deduce this! Judging by his current actions, the breakthrough for the Eleventh Order has two main difficulties."

Xu Zhi felt that even the secrets of the Eleventh Order in the universe were now completely laid bare.

"First, it's about creating and fully mastering this special compression method he's demonstrating. This is the pinnacle of skill, as controlling trillions upon trillions of particles throughout one's body is an incredibly terrifying display of micromanagement."

"Second, it requires knowing the 'Great Dao Blueprint Rule Sequencing Code' – how the universe's Dao was individually affirmed by the Sages. This involves reversing the rules and branches back to the main trunk according to the order of their affirmation. Only beings from the Immortal World who have lived from ancient times to the present day possess this complete code."

Xu Zhi clapped his hands and laughed, unable to help but praise Tu Xin, finding him truly terrifying!!

Who else could possibly deduce the grand trends of the world and the future cultivation path of the universe?

He could be called the greatest powerhouse in cosmic history.

He was equivalent to the ancient pioneering figures of this era, the great divine devils and sages who forged heaven and earth.

Perhaps there was no tangible sense of it now, but millions of years hence, the world would remember this epic scene, making it the most dazzling ancient myth.

What was the situation now?

The general trend was completely clear.

Even the specific method for breaking through to the Eleventh Order had appeared!

The moment the universe was fully restored, there would be no need for deduction or accumulation; simulations of cultivation were already underway, allowing for a direct breakthrough to the Eleventh Order at that time!

The final day would arrive directly.

"These are true monsters, each finding ways to break through ahead of time, displaying their unique divine abilities."

At this, Xu Zhi praised from afar, clapping his hands and laughing:

"Tu Xin, you haven't bragged or exaggerated; you are truly honest. Your talent and wisdom are unprecedented. You can be called a dividing point in history, with eras defined by you!"

In the distance, Tu Xin continued to compress himself, transforming into a miniature singularity to regress.

However, upon hearing Emperor's words, Tu Xin turned to look at him. Seeing Emperor still physically resisting the regression with his small universes, Tu Xin couldn't help but sneer, "You're still pretending not to know how?"

Emperor shook his head, stating sincerely, "I genuinely don't know how."

"Hehehe, this is completely uninteresting now!"

Tu Xin scoffed, "At first, you claimed ignorance, clearly trying to hide your method from me and deceive me. But now that I know your technique, what's there left to pretend? Are you still resisting by brute force? Why not use your method and evade the singularity's regression with me?"

"I really don't know how," Emperor honestly replied. At that very moment, he was still bearing the burden of nine bloodline universes, forcibly resisting the singularity's regression.

"Hmph!"

Tu Xin snorted coldly, watching him continue to resist. "Then let's see how long you can last. Carrying nine universes, you can at most resist a few more times. If you want to commit suicide, I won't stop you."

With that, Tu Xin fully concentrated on transforming into a singularity.

After all, despite his immense power and terrifying intellect, it was his first time exploring this path. His methods were crude and highly imperfect, stumbling along. Even now, he had only partially achieved the singularity form.

As the cosmic singularity fully formed, both sides continued their resistance. The collapse was but a moment, followed by the initiation of the next Big Bang.

Tu Xin took a deep breath, reviving himself. Though exhausted, he burst into hearty laughter. "I succeeded! Next time, I'll only be more refined, better able to evade the singularity's return. The Eleventh Order—I am destined to break through! My place in the future is assured!"

Although he achieved this by leveraging collective wisdom, it was still incredibly formidable.

"Next time?"

At this moment, Emperor gazed at him, his aura subtly revealing the outline of a singularity. "It seems your method is quite good. I can learn from it and won't have to resist by brute force anymore."

No sooner had Xu Zhi finished speaking than a strange transformation began in his body.

Terrifying alchemy began to transform every substance in his body, turning base elements into universal natural matter, gradually reverting to collapse.

Having learned the new system and deduced the future path, Xu Zhi was quite satisfied. The future of the Eleventh Order was truly brought closer before his eyes.

"You??"

Tu Xin immediately laughed. "You still claimed you didn't know! You're truly speaking nonsense with your eyes wide open. You had to wait until I completely deduced it before revealing that you possessed the same method as me!"

Emperor shook his head. "I really didn't know; I just learned it."

How terrifying was Xu Zhi's mind?

While he might not surpass others in pioneering new wisdom, the formidable Great Universe cultivation method had made his learning ability unimaginable.

"Ridiculous," Tu Xin said, his smile stiffening as he looked at Emperor. "Just learned it now? You're truly speaking nonsense with your eyes wide open."

He knew full well the methods of the person before him.

Every step he deduced, Emperor would immediately follow, then pretend he hadn't known it from the start and had only just learned it from him...?

Such ridiculous tactics were only good for fooling others.

Xu Zhi also stiffened slightly. He had been telling the truth the entire time, yet no one believed him. He couldn't help but sigh, then declared proudly, "Yes, you finally figured it out. I mastered this technique from the very beginning. I just didn't expect a mediocre person like you to possess some talent and deduce it to this extent."

"You're finally telling the truth," Tu Xin said, his expression turning completely grim. "An opponent like you is even more terrifying than the Immortal Sages. My path is not a lonely one."

Xu Zhi looked at Tu Xin, a silent feeling stirring within him.

Are you out of your mind?

He had just been speaking honestly, patiently explaining the truth, yet no one believed him. The moment he put on an act, feigning profound mockery towards Tu Xin, the latter immediately believed him implicitly, thinking he had finally dropped his disguise and revealed his true nature as a formidable schemer...

Nearby, the players also wore solemn expressions and began recounting Emperor's ancient history to those around them.

"'When I had not yet become a god, there were no gods in the world!' Akina Mountain Speed's voice was grave. 'In the past, he suppressed a whole region, Emperor once dominated for eons. To think he's calculating like this even now, yet Tu Xin has seen through him. Tu Xin is incredibly terrifying, but Emperor is no less so; he is now facing his strongest opponent in history!'"

Xu Zhi remained silent again.

"Truth is always held by a select few; the majority remain forever in the dark. It makes one feel that humanity is often quite pathetic," Emperor mused after a moment of silence, looking at Tu Xin before him.
