Chapter 951: Mind and Confrontation (Extra for 7c Haijiao's Leader)

Once again, the Big Bang thoroughly expanded and then fell silent.

Everything reverted to emptiness; the expanded matter returned to its normal state, as if nothing had changed.

The Creator God's phantom image also gradually blurred in the void.

Behind it, the ancient, holy river of time seemed to recede, as this ultimate ancient existence of the universe appeared to depart from this space-time.

A long silence ensued.

Only after everything had calmed down did they regain their composure, gazing at the silent ruins and the vast emptiness of the cosmic void.

Xu Zhi had also left.

He had not spouted any nonsense; after all, it would all be exposed in the future anyway.

What he had told them was indeed everything he had just witnessed at the chaotic origin of the cosmic singularity.

“It seems I said a lot, but in reality, I said nothing at all… I merely told them the facts as I saw them,” Xu Zhi said calmly as he slowly walked away into the void. “As for what kind of civilization will develop, or what the future path will be like, I don't know yet.”

The era was still unfolding.

They were all pioneers of their time.

What would the future cultivation system be like?

The ninth stage was imminent, but what about the tenth? It was unclear. And was there anything beyond the tenth stage?

That, too, was unknown.

Everything was unknown and mysterious.

Xu Zhi had merely explained the cosmic phenomena he witnessed to them, leaving it up to them to deduce the path forward.

He had indeed seen that the current cosmic rules were not truly reliable, because he had discovered that new cosmic rules might be completely different, meaning the current ones would not apply at all.

“Still, the God of Destruction is quite interesting…” Xu Zhi chuckled softly, feeling that this new addition he had made was rather compelling. After all, without its appearance, there would have been no way to account for the massive deaths that had just occurred.

In the void.

“All of this feels like a dream,” Di Qi murmured.

The sheer volume of information was truly overwhelming, even horrifying.

With this spell of the Evil God, even she herself didn't know what had happened.

It was like ordinary people studying a neutron bomb, where a slight misstep could destroy a planet. What they had just done was activate a forbidden cosmic Pandora's Box, and as expected, they had seen the Creator God, and also the God of Destruction…

The Creator God created worlds; the God of Destruction destroyed them.

These two were opposites.

“Indeed, the universe maintains a hidden balance.”

Caroline's expression was complex, tinged with a hint of regret.

“What forbidden act did we commit? We observed the end of a cosmic epoch of destruction… The God of Destruction! This hidden concept, whose observation brings existence, whose perception brings manifestation. This entity will now follow the river of time into this cosmic era… descending upon a universe still in its prime, which will likely accelerate its destruction.”

The entire universe was only 14 billion years old, still in its prime. Such a forbidden entity should not have appeared in this realm, but they had actually…

It was conceivable that the future would be either a terrifying prosperous age, or a cataclysm of unprecedented scale, a super disaster, unseen in countless ancient cosmic epochs.

The Creator God and the God of Destruction actually coexisted within the same cosmic space-time!

In the future, they would likely witness the conflict, battles, and massacres between these two entities…

The mere thought of such a scene was bone-chilling.

And all these disasters were caused by them.

This was simply too outrageous.

They were the sinners of the universe, of all the myriad heavens!

If this information got out, all cosmic civilizations and the great myriad heavens would want to tear them apart!

At this moment, little Shiji in the distance was also dumbfounded, terrified, standing rooted to the spot. Her entire worldview had been completely overturned.

What in the world… what in the world was this?!!

This truly was the center of the universe!

But this was more than just the center of the universe!

It had changed the fate of the entire universe!

The cultivation methods passed down in her memories, the power the Iron Base Race prided itself on, all seemed like the shallow knowledge of a country bumpkin. Her inherited memories had never contained such concepts.

“The universe isn't going to end, is it…”

Shiji was now terrified, never having imagined such a thing could happen. If she thought about it, wasn't her sister, who had created this forbidden spell, the sinner of the entire universe?

After all, this spell was indeed unique. It was likely that only her sister in the entire universe could cast and cultivate it, because it involved thousands, even tens of thousands, of cosmic laws, requiring an unparalleled understanding of the actual universe's principles.

Sanzhushen, calm and composed, looked around and smiled. “Don't tell anyone… then no one will attack us. Right now, besides a few of us nearby, no one knows any of this. The distant planetary civilizations and their survivors have long been shielded from the true cosmic sound and the immense flow of law-based information.”

Medusa also fell into deep thought.

Although there had been equivalent exchanges before, this was the first time for such an enormous one…

Sanzhushen, very rational and peaceful, continued: “The knowledge we gained is also enough for us to potentially transcend the universe, to comprehend the truth of having a master… to become the 'One that Escaped,' to become the ultimate existence of the universe!”

“What’s done is done; there’s no turning back… After all, we have also gained many terrifying benefits,” Caroline said, her gaze turning towards the ancient innate beings born from the primordial chaos, at the very beginning of heaven and earth.

“Born from chaos, they must have absorbed ancient primordial energy, possessing properties of the chaotic origin, and having touched the true nature of the universe…” Caroline took a deep breath and addressed those around her: “There are ten in total. Let's each take some.”

Everyone’s eyes instantly burned with fervor, knowing these were immensely valuable treasures.

These were true primeval ancient gods of chaos, born with the universe itself, at the very dawn of creation, when heaven and earth first split apart! Their inherent laws and life characteristics were unimaginable.

However, everyone’s expression turned solemn as they eyed each other warily.

These newborn chaotic beings were simply too precious. It was likely they would break into a fierce fight, continuing the battle they had just concluded.

As for the Evil God, she was exhausted from using that terrifying spell. Her accumulated reserves from countless millennia were depleted, and her current strength was less than one percent. However, they too had expended much of their strength resisting the true sound of the Great Dao, with their power reduced to less than ten percent…

Both sides were utterly exhausted. Yet, the Evil God remained a formidable opponent, and on their side, only Emperor Zun could possibly contend with her.

But speaking of Emperor Zun…

Where had he gone? He hadn't been seen from beginning to end. Could he have died?

Just as both sides were in a stalemate, a flash suddenly appeared in the distance.

The Transcendent Ancient God unexpectedly materialized out of thin air and slowly walked towards them. Meanwhile, from the cosmic garden, an enormous, towering primordial giant also revealed his face.
