Facing the Apocalypse with My Other Selves
Chapter 627 - 350: The Civilization of Destruction
What Shen Yu mentioned, although speculative, is actually a possibility recognized by many.
Early on, after initially coming into contact with the real Primordial World, rather than the mythological tales that couldn't be probed deeper, Shen Yu had this question.
Why did the Hongjun Daoist Ancestor need to unite with the Dao.
Moreover, why did he do so at such a huge cost.
Erasing humanity, losing emotions.
Especially after gaining a deeper understanding of the Heavenly Dao, or rather the Extraordinary Rules, this question became increasingly intense.
Because it's a matter of the east wind overpowering the west wind, or vice versa.
If the power of the one uniting with the Dao was strong enough, reaching a level equally matched or even surpassing the Heavenly Dao, then the so-called integration with the Dao would actually be a process of controlling the Heavenly Dao.
There would be no need to suppress one's emotions, losing oneself to become some sort of rule-bound existence.
Given the situation of the Hongjun Daoist Ancestor at that time, if he wasn't driven by some special reason, he could have completely waited for a period.
Wait until becoming even stronger, then make such a choice.
The cost would be much smaller than currently.
One can only say, Shen Yu figures he's probably found the reason.
Since that's the case, the next tasks become much simpler.
Through the empowered Celestial Dao Tree, Shen Yu quickly mastered that portion of the solidified Dao that no longer changed over a short period.
This included the portion overseen by the remaining three Saints.
Originally, with the help of the Entanglement Law, the enemy's Artificial Saints had a certain advantage, but this advantage was utterly insignificant in front of today's Celestial Dao Tree.
Shen Yu could even clearly sense from the movements on the law level that the other side was starting to panic a little.
The portion of the Entanglement Law controlled by the enemy suddenly exhibited changes after this.
Instead of attempting to resist, or even trying to hinder Shen Yu, the entire law abruptly retreated within a certain period.
Evidently, it intended to take a portion of the unique Entanglement Law and escape this Primordial World!
"Having reached this stage, they still think of leaving with something, that's too bold." Shen Yu slightly smiled.
But it's also understandable.
All along, the ability of the human civilization within this future timeline to conceal itself, apart from the hard technology, fundamentally relies on this portion of the Entanglement Law it analyzed.
If they directly abandon it, Shen Yu would still be able to find traces the instant they cut off the connection.
The best method, instead, is to use this portion of the Entanglement Law for concealment.
However, this still is a dead end.
Shen Yu, possessing the Gray Mist Space, never randomly does anything without assurance.
Basically, Shen Yu only takes action when he has complete confidence.
It was at this moment that a dozen Saints suddenly appeared in this world!
At the instant they made a move, each Saint did only one thing.
Using their Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal level life foundation, and their will, along with the law powers they controlled, to influence and interfere with the world's laws!
"Your way of mastering the Heavenly Dao Laws is ultimately not the right path. Instead of relying on a powerful life level for mastery, it's through calculation, application, leveraging tiny variables to manipulate huge forces." Shen Yu's voice at this moment seemed to penetrate space barriers, directly reaching into the opposite world, "That's akin to dancing above a cliff carrying a mountain, with only a thin rope for support, any unforeseen variables can entirely strip away your control."
This is precisely what these Saints are doing at this moment.
It's also the "certain success" result Shen Yu obtained after consulting the Gray Mist.
Ultimately, the root of Extraordinary Power belongs to life, to the Extraordinary, not to so-called technology.
Previously, it was merely technological power keeping up a level.
But when Extraordinary Power reaches the same level, relying on technology to control it becomes fragile.
After the upgrade of the Celestial Dao Tree, the outcome was already destined.
In the next instant, Shen Yu's form vanished.
He swiftly arrived in another world, a dim, narrow space.
Indeed, it was the human civilization of the 73rd century that brought destruction to the Primordial World.
For a long time in the past, Shen Yu was curious about how such a civilization created such miracles.
They were even just originated from a mortal civilization.
Even with the effects of the Heavenly Dao's calamity, it was still a miracle beyond imagination.
What exactly happened to them.
What shape did their society turn into?
How could they support such a terrifying plan to destroy countless civilizations, countless multi-dimensional universes, countless lives.
Are they still humans as he knows them?
However, when Shen Yu truly arrived at this place, he found that this civilization, which once brought him some fear, and even pain, was far beyond his expectations in its true form.
Firstly, it was immense.
An immensity fitting the impression of a powerful technological civilization.
