Facing the Apocalypse with My Other Selves-Chapter 450 - 261: The Truth of the Primordial Apocalypse (Part 2)
Counting the timeline, it seems there should indeed be a new cycle of catastrophe appearing.
However——
The scale is too massive!
"All past catastrophes seemed intense, but in reality, they were all under control," Shen Yu asked, "Why is this time so cruel?"
Indeed, if it’s just a catastrophe, even with most of the Immortals and Buddhas falling, it wouldn’t be the end of the Multi-universe.
This is what Shen Yu finds most confusing.
And Living Buddha Jigong finally provided an answer at this moment.
"This catastrophe is different." Living Buddha Jigong looked at Shen Yu, his eyes shining, "Do you believe, outside this heaven and earth, there is more heaven and earth?"
"Naturally." Shen Yu squinted his eyes and nodded slightly, "I come from the future; I can naturally imagine and recognize such things. Even starting from the primordial ancients, it’s the same. When Pangu created the world, he merely split a ’shell’, but who can know if there are more shells beyond this one?"
Although Shen Yu’s answer seemed to carry the answer itself, what he spoke indeed reflected his innermost thoughts.
The world is infinitely vast.
Even if it’s the All Heavens, is it necessarily the largest?
Who can guarantee that there isn’t something more magnificent beyond the All Heavens overlooking it all?
However, to explore this question, the first step is not in-depth research.
The first step is achieving the strongest position in the known world!
And at this moment, Shen Yu has vaguely guessed something.
As expected, Living Buddha Jigong slowly said: "After the Journey to the West, the grand world gradually took shape. The Saints sit outside, watching the birth of one universe after another, while silently comprehending the limits of heaven and earth, even surpassing Hongjun Dao Ancestor."
Shen Yu remained silent, yet he could imagine such a scene.
After all, with his current understanding of the All Heavens World, Hongjun Dao Ancestor takes the route of embodying the Great Dao.
This is completely different from control and integration.
In a sense, he has erased human emotions.
Or rather, he has integrated part of his morality and emotions into the Heavenly Dao.
In the view of the whole world, this is certainly a remarkable achievement.
The Heavenly Dao is unfeeling; it’s merely rules, which isn’t a positive thing for the vast majority of worlds.
But a Heavenly Dao with feelings is also not a good thing.
Under these two circumstances, the probability of civilization’s extinction is infinitely high.
However, Hongjun Ancestor managed to balance the Heavenly Dao between emotionless and emotional.
Being emotionless, it remains as rules, under the Great Dao, treating all equally; rules never change.
With emotions, within its rules, it integrates the order of living beings, thus there is the descent of merit and ways of mitigating catastrophes.
Only in this way can civilization continually progress, instead of being stuck at some level or directly falling into chaos and destruction due to certain rules.
In a sense, primordial mythology is indeed progressing forward.
Many Saints, able to gradually touch the limits of Heavenly Dao, is not surprising to Shen Yu.
If even such a positively developing primordial mythology couldn’t break the boundaries of the All Heavens World, then there wouldn’t be such powers in the All Heavens. Forces like Gray Mist Space capable of connecting the All Heavens would be incredibly rare.
But——
Breaking the world is not necessarily good for the world itself.
Shen Yu took a deep breath.
"Heavenly Dao is strict, coupled with the catastrophe, no wonder, no wonder." He had understood.
The catastrophe isn’t the problem; the issue is the innate resistance of the Heavenly Dao rules.
Shen Yu asked again: "So, where exactly did the meteorite come from?"
While the combined strength of catastrophe and Heavenly Dao is formidable, it is not directly capable of destroying the world.
After all, the Heavenly Dao is unfeeling, and catastrophes are also merely a rule.
Even in an Immortal Cultivation World, isn’t there always Demon Cultivators behind the scenes?
Thus, Shen Yu was inquiring about the specific manifestation of the catastrophe.
And Living Buddha Jigong actually knew.
"This person also comes from the future, self-proclaimed Extinction," Living Buddha Jigong said, "Now a war of extinction has been initiated, whether one can break free from the shackles of the Heavenly Dao and soar freely depends on this very catastrophe."
"Future, the future?" Shen Yu furrowed his brow tightly.
This is hard to imagine, yet seems reasonable.
Individuals destined to face calamities are mostly born during major catastrophes.
Since primordial mythology has developed and even evolved into the Modern World, it’s completely normal for catastrophe-bound individuals to be born in the future.
The problem is.
How far into the future is this future?
Thus, Shen Yu actually thought of a question.
He has explored the Multi-Parallel Universe in multiple dimensions, but the furthest timeline discovered is only the 21st century.
More distant worlds have never been seen.
The 22nd century or even farther.
Originally thought to be non-existent worlds, but after hearing Living Buddha Jigong mention "future", it couldn’t help but provoke deep thought.
Is it non-existent, or simply hidden?
Shen Yu posed his inquiry.
But Living Buddha Jigong merely shook his head.
Being able to know these things from Dragon Conqueror Venerable’s memory is already quite good.
More than this, he actually doesn’t know either.
Hence Shen Yu sent him back.
After pondering for a moment, he dispatched personnel.
Using similar methods to take over the entire world.
Living Buddha Jigong had no objections to this.
He himself wished to take a different path from Dragon Conqueror Venerable, Shen Yu’s appearance actually offered him a choice.
At this moment though, Shen Yu didn’t hurry to search for a new world but returned to the Association to disclose all the intelligence gathered at this time.
"Accumulated catastrophes coupled with the innate resistance of Heavenly Dao?" The other Shen Yu listened, visibly shocked one by one.
After all, the level of primordial mythology is incredibly powerful to them.
Powerful to an unimaginable degree.
What’s even stronger is that the primordial world is preparing to breach the All Heavens level and truly enter the All Heavens.
Obviously, everyone understands, once the primordial world achieves this, the resulting force would be far from ordinary.
Initially, their All Heavens End-of-the-World Civilization Mutual Aid Association was extremely weak.
A mere few years have passed; it has become this strong!
Even if there is Gray Mist Space contributing, they have reason to believe; even without the Gray Mist, it would merely take more time.
After all, endless All Heavens Worlds imply that everything is possible!
No longer restricted by the world itself.
If even the weak could grow to such an extent, there’s no need to mention the typically strong primordial world.
"However, judging by the characteristics of Gray Mist Space, the primordial world seems inevitably destined to fail," Wizard Shen Yu suddenly remarked, "At least, every one of our worlds without the Association and our presence is destined for destruction."
The other Shen Yu also nodded slightly.
Glancing at each other, they felt a bit excited.
It’s not because of excitement for the destruction of the primordial world, but if this speculation is correct, it suggests that Gray Mist Space might have foreseen the destiny of the primordial world.
This implies a higher level.
And of such significance is the confidence among many Shen Yu.
Clearly, they intend to save the primordial world. This thought brings immense pressure. They can only put all their trust and confidence in Gray Mist Space.
"I think." Intersellar world Shen Yu spoke at this moment, "The primordial world is too powerful, possibly the strongest among all discovered worlds. In this case, we shouldn’t aim too high, too distant. Our power is insufficient; the priority is to improve our power as much as possible."
These words, no matter the circumstances, are undoubtedly correct.
The problem is.
Martial Artist Shen Yu couldn’t help but ask: "Are you saying, the original entity should first pause more in-depth world exploration?"
