Chapter 944: 万物归一者

Everyone understood what this concept meant.

The Singularity: the universe's ultimate beginning and end!

What did this imply?

It was the most core and magnificent phenomenon in the universe, the dream of all cultivators seeking the Dao, the supreme sanctuary.

If all spells, like wind, fire, thunder, and lightning, merely simulated isolated natural phenomena, then what would be the highest spell to simulate natural laws?

One could imagine.

It was the entire universe, or perhaps the unified "universe" itself.

When the universe formed a "point," it was the initial convergence of everything.

And the demon god before them was insane, wanting to simulate the highest-level spell in the universe. No wonder she claimed she had never truly performed this technique herself; it was simply too terrifying.

"That's impossible."

Beside them, Emperor Qi mused for a moment before speaking, "Simulating the 'Singularity,' the 'Dao,' and the 'One' of the entire universe is indeed the strongest theoretical spell! This is the true ultimate 'Dao' technique, summoning and converging the unseen existences, the ultimate law phenomenon... No one can resist the universe's convergence."

At this point, Emperor Qi couldn't help but add, "However, you would need to fully understand and master all the laws of the entire universe to condense and weave them, collapsing them into a single point, to simulate that primordial Dao."

To simulate the universe's origin, one must necessarily master all its rules.

In other words, stages one through eight are the path to understanding the universe; you must be incredibly proficient and have an exceptionally solid foundation to achieve this.

After all, the ninth stage involves distorting laws.

"I also know you must be incredibly proficient, but knowing is not enough; you also need to master this power. Knowing and mastering are two distinct concepts."

Emperor Qi continued, "No one can master so many laws. Each person can cultivate at most five genes, mastering at most five types of laws..." He suddenly paused, looking at Medusa before him, and an incredible thought crossed his mind. "Could it be, you lunatic!?"

"That's right."

Medusa fully revealed various parts of her being, smiling softly. "As an evil god, I've been preparing for a long time. I've cultivated fire, wind, thunder, earth, space, and all sorts of other miscellaneous laws."

Only then did everyone realize.

Emperor Qi and Caroline, with only two elemental genes, were already considered quite inferior... Yet, the evil god before them possessed every kind of "trashy," low-level gene, like a grand hodgepodge.

Flames, wind and thunder, earth, torrential rain, various laws...

At the same time, she had also devised corresponding cultivation techniques for these "trashy" genes.

It was known that ordinary powerful individuals, with the talent and knowledge of Emperor Qi and Caroline, could naturally devise the path from stage one to eight for a single genetic lineage.

But they were unwilling to do so.

Because techniques they devised themselves would inevitably be partial and flawed... So, for their own genes, they chose to use the power of all sentient beings to help them devise. Over eras, the collective power of beings would select the most perfected path.

Yet, this evil god devised her own.

She cared little if a gene's cultivation technique was mature enough; as long as she could devise it and cultivate it herself, that was sufficient...

"Otherwise, how could she be called the Great Demon God of the Multiverse?"

The Martial Alliance Leader chuckled, "Your Majesty the Demon God is a monster whose diligence even I must admire. She has devised at least thousands of gene cultivation techniques... For all those miscellaneous genes she cultivates, she has likely truly mastered most of the universe's laws... She is probably the only being in the entire universe capable of simulating the entire universe and unleashing this ultimate Dao technique!"

She had reached the pinnacle of the 'Dao' technique lineage!

With tens of thousands of law-paths, she had deliberately cultivated and encompassed most of the universe's laws.

The players, upon hearing this, also found the Evil God race to be exceedingly brutal.

"It seems the Ancient Super-God was truly ruthless when he obliterated her father!"

"Yes, the Evil God race is a ruthless one, but the Ancient Super-God is probably even more so!"

"Brothers, to put it simply, this Evil God is straightforward. Her first move is a parallel universe. Her second move will probably use this universe for a grand collapse, converging it into the primordial, legendary 'Dao,' 'Chaos,' 'All,' and 'One.' Her third move will likely be a Big Bang."

Everyone was astonished.

This demon god's personality was so unique; her three moves followed the sequence of cosmic evolution: first creating a parallel universe, then a grand cosmic collapse, and finally a Big Bang.

"More simply, is this move summoning the Creator God?"

"Too ruthless!"

"She intends to sacrifice this parallel universe to simulate cosmic law phenomena... This parallel universe, it turns out, is merely a collection of sacrificial offerings!"

"If their souls are split, aren't they permanently incomplete? Without any chance of retrieval, wouldn't they be completely unable to break through to the ninth stage?"

"That's truly tragic."

"You're overthinking it. All day long, you wonder if they can break through to the ninth stage. Even with complete souls, could they break through? Look at this civilization; it's tens of thousands of years old, has anyone truly broken through?"

Medusa smiled, holding a parallel universe in one hand. "The rest of you who endured the opening move, stand back, lest you be beaten to death... And you, Revered Emperor, are you ready?"

Xu Zhi was utterly stunned.

He never expected that after thousands of years without acting, Medusa's combat power would be even more formidable than imagined!

She had secretly been cultivating this technique all this time, actually intending to simulate the primordial "One" and summon the Creator God? How obsessed was she with the Creator God?

How could the cultivation philosophies of these individuals be crazier and more ruthless than the last?

"Naturally, I am ready."

The Revered Emperor smiled, stating calmly to Medusa, "Recently, my understanding of the greater universe has been stagnant, and my cultivation has made no progress. Perhaps this will allow me to see something new."

Medusa didn't understand the implication but merely smiled. She looked up at the parallel universe, her eyes filled with emotion. "The second move, cosmic collapse... return to the Singularity."

Boom!

Countless laws flowed around Medusa. Every fiber of every cell in her arms was unleashing myriad Dao techniques, seamlessly and naturally.

The entire parallel universe seemed to undergo an unprecedented, massive compression!

All life and matter within it—the Tier Empire, the citizens of the Pillar God, the beings across that entire universe, hundreds of billions of living creatures—were rapidly squeezed, like a piece of paper crumpled into a ball by an unseen, colossal hand.

"What's happening?" Emperor Tier of that universe exclaimed, staring at the sky in horror. "Is our civilization coming to an end?"

"My heavens!"

"What is this!"

Scientists in that parallel universe watched their data in horror.

"The universe is collapsing! It's as if the universe has reached its end, as if it's rebooting?"

"This is impossible! The universe is only just over ten billion years old. According to Big Bang observations, planets are still continuously expanding outwards, and the universe is still accelerating its expansion. It's in its prime, just like our planet in its prime. Conservatively, it should be another twenty billion years before..."

Countless people cried out in despair.

No sound could be heard, because all the air had been squeezed out. Molecules, atoms, and ions were compressed into a mass, and the lives of the powerful were pulled by unimaginable suction, forming twisted, streaky shadows, like an abstract, colorful Van Gogh painting, distorted and stretched.

Everything coalesced into an unimaginably shocking spectacle, forming the universe's most terrifying cosmic phenomenon: the Big Crunch, the destruction of the universe.

"My goodness, is she trying to summon the Creator God? The legendary primordial law-existence of the universe?" Witnessing this scene, the players were utterly speechless with shock. They never imagined this civilization not only knew about the Creator God but had also researched it to such an extent!

Their previous pride seemed to shatter in an instant.

"Actually, we're the country bumpkins, aren't we?"

They exchanged glances, an unbelievable thought dawning on them.

Medusa held the entire parallel universe high, and it began to rapidly collapse and restart. Countless laws swirled, condensed, brewed, omnipresent.

"Any Dao technique merely simulates a single natural phenomenon of the universe, like thunder spells, water spells, fire spells... But the ultimate Dao technique simulates the final destination of all laws."

"I am the one who unifies all things."

Medusa gazed with yearning at the rapidly collapsing universe in her hand. It crumpled like a ball of paper, as if struck by a "singularity strike" more terrifying than a "two-dimensional strike," and was rapidly collapsing into a single point.

This point grew brighter and brighter, dazzling like a hundred thousand suns.

Mortals, gods, rocks, water — all seemed to rapidly meld into a single mass, undergoing some special chemical effect.

"The universe's origin."

"The universe's beginning and end."

"The legendary symbol of all universal laws... the Dao!"

Medusa, as if she had awaited this moment for countless years, finally let out a low roar, "I am the unifier of all things, the Great Cosmic Collapse! The unseen Dao-One, the primordial essence... Descend!"
