Chapter 965: Truth Piano

An Insectoid Hero?

Xu Zhi's heart stirred slightly, and his eyes lit up with a brilliant gleam. "Such a good thing exists?"

The designation 'Insectoid Hero' means there's a high probability of reaching the Tenth Order.

Previously, only Di Qi could earn this evaluation.

However, it doesn't mean that Caroline, the Three Pillar Gods, and others are fated to never reach the Ninth Order. It simply implies they might have the opportunity to break through.

"Di Qi's talent allowed him to be identified as a potential Insectoid Hero even with only two genes... But it's clear Pan Yuxian's designation as a Tenth Order candidate isn't due to any special abilities comparable to Di Qi's. Instead, it signifies that her species has reached an incredibly powerful level."

Xu Zhi mused silently.

Pan Yuxian has been honing her craft for a decade, which is an incredibly long time!

Much longer than the prime matter of the Alchemist Emperor!

"Retrieve this creature's gene sequence," Xu Zhi said softly.

"Retrieving now, based on the species' existing planning information... and characteristics... biological evolution blueprints..."

A mechanical voice responded.

Xu Zhi felt a little perplexed.

It was the first time he had seen a single-gene creature like this.

For other single-gene creatures, the other four gene slots were marked 'Empty.' This one says 'Sealed.' Does that mean it can never integrate other genes?

Forever limited to a single gene?

Xu Zhi had no idea what it meant.

Just then, Caroline had already rushed forward, nearing Pan Yuxian, her voice somewhat agitated. "What exactly are you? That aura just now..."

"I am Truth."

Pan Yuxian seemed to have anticipated Caroline's approach, merely smiling faintly. "Have you met the Alchemist Emperor? The prime-matter insect from the Seven Realms Heavenly Court, living in a glass bottle?"

Caroline had certainly met him, having traveled with him to the Cosmic Garden.

Pan Yuxian smiled. "If the Alchemist Emperor is the Alchemy Gate itself, the prime matter of life, the root of life... then I am the Gate of Truth itself, the prime matter of the cosmos, the root of truth..."

Upon hearing this, Caroline was utterly astonished.

To call this statement audacious would be an understatement!

Seeing Caroline's shocked expression, Pan Yuxian knew that all her painstaking efforts had been worthwhile.

Long ago, after evolving the system gene for her sister, she had pondered...

What species should she evolve to gain an advantage from the start?

At that time, she saw Ninth Order Dao Achievers who could distort the laws of the universe. She immediately thought, if they can distort the laws of the universe, why can't they create them?

Creating new laws that don't belong to the universe is simply insane!

But after countless years of research, she has finally succeeded.

"You..."

Caroline hesitated, then exclaimed, "You're different from the other 'players' who are cosmic projections; you are truly unique."

"The entire race is what's special," Pan Yuxian smiled. "One is all, and all is one. It's precisely because of your species' characteristics that I was able to succeed."

The reason she didn't evolve within 'Spore Evolution,' but specifically came here and took a roundabout approach, was also because of this—because it required the entire race.

"The whole?"

Caroline mused thoughtfully, "You were there, too, witnessed that universe's Big Bang and Big Crunch, the primordial chaos giving way... and heard that cosmic overture, right? Chaos began to split into two opposing forces, Yin and Yang—the two great substances of light and darkness—then further divided into the four fundamental forces, and countless laws branched out..."

"And while laws were splitting, you're merging them in reverse?" Caroline finally voiced her query. "You're playing that primordial cosmic overture backward, able to trace and fuse them according to the order of their division..."

Pan Yuxian took a deep breath. These formidable beings truly are powerful!

The species she researched is attribute-less and capable of fusing laws, much like a special color palette, or perhaps a unique piano key.

When the universe was created, the singularity of chaotic truth branched into myriad things, much like a tree constantly branching out.

And the order of that division is the overture itself!

As long as one knows the overture, they can reverse-merge the terminal laws, trace back to higher-level laws, and even fuse them into the original primordial energy of the cosmos.

"No need to say more."

Pan Yuxian, a very straightforward person, said, "Do you see the tens of thousands of coarse cells on my white piano? They're like a color palette. As long as you input the corresponding laws into the appropriate cell keys, they can be blended... Of course, this must be done in a specific sequence, meaning you need to know the cosmic musical score."

By collecting all terminal laws—like wind, rain, and fire—and then 'playing' them according to the score, you can play the cosmic overture backward... ultimately returning to the universe's primordial essence.

Caroline's expression was utterly astounded.

Xu Zhi, too, was thoroughly shaken. How could these individuals be more ambitious than the last?

"So, how much of the cosmic score have you memorized?" Pan Yuxian asked.

Caroline frowned slightly. "Roughly 3%, a sequence of a few measures... Others probably haven't memorized much either; it's incredibly complex, the master key to the entire universe. Perhaps the Demon Gods remember around 20%."

As Caroline spoke, her eyes gleamed brightly.

This piano before them truly was the Gate of Truth!

As long as they knew all the apparent truths and the sequence of their division, using this 'keyboard,' they could reach the universe's sole true truth...

"Reaching the ultimate truth is too distant... Even knowing all the notes of that cosmic overture wouldn't lead to the truth of our universe... because that overture belonged to a new universe... it wasn't the true primordial overture of our universe, although perhaps 70% might be similar."

Pan Yuxian smiled. "My greatest function, however, is to create laws."

"Create laws?"

Caroline was slightly stunned.

"Yes, creating laws. Strictly speaking, it's creating new laws that don't belong to this universe. Do you remember how, in that primordial universe, laws not belonging to our world appeared through different division variations? Although they were quickly assimilated by the greater cosmic environment back then."

"I remember."

"Then, do you understand?"

Pan Yuxian smiled, explaining, "Tracing back to the sole supreme truth is unrealistic! My current ability is to create new laws that don't belong to this world by reverse-merging... As long as I have part of the score, new cosmic laws can emerge through the fusion and subsequent re-division of different laws."

"Yes, I can access the truth and all the cosmic law branches of every epoch," Pan Yuxian smiled. "So, do you understand now?"

Caroline immediately nodded.

"Understood. So what are we waiting for?" Pan Yuxian looked towards the end of the evolution tunnel, at the four-legged white porcelain piano, and said seriously, "I can't outrun them."
