The heavens began from a small hell

Countless years passed, the world decayed and perished, and the era came to an end.

Compared to the swiftness of the final catastrophe, the end of the first era took a very long time. Apart from creatures that could live in harsh environments, almost all races born in the past disappeared into the past due to environmental changes.

The powerful beings regarded as gods and demons by all living beings were not greatly affected by the changes in heaven and earth. They were still able to be active in the world, but they had to be careful of the occasionally collapsing and shattering void.

The World Annihilation Disc was born under such circumstances. Because it coincided with the time and trend of the end of the era, the newly formed World Annihilation Disc was far stronger than the two Other Shore Divine Weapons that Lin Yang had previously refined.

Having made preparations long ago, Lin Yang used a secret method to catalyze the spirituality of the World Annihilation Disc the moment it took shape. He voluntarily handed over his spiritual treasure avatar, allowing the World Annihilation Disc to occupy it.

Lacking the sedimentation of time, the spiritual intelligence of the Lingbao incarnation may not be normal, but it is sufficient as a standard for 'allowing the incarnation to gain independent intelligence'.

At this moment, the Primordial Incarnation, the Axe of Creation, the Moral Incarnation, and the Wheel of Glory merged together. Lin Yang could feel that his causal relationship with all the heavens and myriad worlds was becoming weaker and weaker. All the traces and imprints of his past were being borne by the three incarnations that were gradually gaining independent consciousness.

When the vessel and the body merge, the three bodies born from the other shore are also equivalent to having innate companions. The Creation Axe, the Glory Wheel, and the Annihilation Disc will accompany the three nameless innate other shores until their complete destruction.

"The matter of the Dao Fruit is indeed difficult to rank and take turns."

Lin Yang from the Outer Heavens gazed at the three incarnations of the Other Shore that originally belonged to him. The three bodies now had independent consciousness, but their 'self-awareness' had not yet been fully formed.

Once everything is perfected, Lin Yang will naturally disappear from the world, residing in the 'emptiness' that is isolated from all the heavens and myriad realms.

“My method of subtracting to empty the mind created three half-step Dao Fruit beings who have reached the other shore, while the common method of subtracting to empty the mind creates one Dao Fruit rudimentary being who has reached the other shore.”

"Leaving aside the fall of the other shore, unless there are special circumstances, no matter what, there will only be more and more other shores in the world, and there will also be more and more divine weapons of the other shore."

"In theory, after an infinite number of years, even with the smallest probability, there will be countless people on the other side of the river."

"The Emperor's grand vision of enabling all beings to reach the other shore can be considered a unique realization."

As Lin Yang pondered, he glanced again at the myriad realms, which were now countless times more deserted than during their heyday.

The primordial spirits from the beginning of time have all perished, and now there are no fewer than a hundred powerful beings comparable to that ruler of that time.

These people keenly realized that the myriad realms were about to come to an inevitable end, and this decline was completely different from previous cyclical changes.

They tried everything, but none of it could stop the outcome; it only slightly delayed the day of the end.

With their strength comparable to the Creation Realm, it's already quite remarkable that they were able to achieve this. If many powerful individuals hadn't reached a consensus to stop fighting, the end would have come ten thousand years ago.

In the futures that Lin Yang occupied, none of the beings from the first era, except for the three innate beings from beyond the heavens, were able to live to the new era.

However, he could not confirm this, since those who have attained the other shore possess a portion of almost all of the future, not those who possess all of the future. The former still have a glimmer of hope.

However, Lin Yang couldn't figure out how someone with level 170 strength could survive in the 'Eternal Nothingness' after the destruction of the era.

Just as mortals cannot survive in space without external aids. A thousand years later, the harsh environment of the myriad realms caused the sudden collapse of the universe, where all the stars had gone out. This collapse seemed to trigger a chain reaction, affecting the vast, cold, and arid continent, which was reduced to nothingness.

Some of the creatures that survived were affected by this and died in an instant.

As the symbol of the 'end' from existence to non-existence gained a sliver of self-awareness, its aura spread out from beyond the heavens, intensifying the sense of the end of all realms.

This sudden change caught many powerful beings off guard, who then roared in anger. They didn't know who did it, or why they were encouraging the end and destruction. Did they intend to drag all things and spirits of the world down with them?
One powerful figure after another used every means at their disposal to try to delay the arrival of the end. A few people cultivated their own inner worlds, cutting off portions of heaven and earth and incorporating them into their bodies, hoping to protect some living beings and also to leave themselves a way out.

Some people, seeing no hope, twist their own form to transform into the form of destruction, abandoning reason and self to merge into the image of destruction. In this way, they can be said to coexist with destruction, and perhaps one day they can regain their intelligence.

Some people collect dying wishes, hoping to create a dream world independent of heaven and earth based on their own and all living beings' aspirations.

Heaven and earth may crumble, time may pass, but dreams will endure forever!
It is evident that many powerful individuals were well-prepared, and their actions at this moment were not hasty.

In this atmosphere, the first era came to an end. The ever-flowing river of time seemed to have dried up, and there were no more futures left, only emptiness.

Lin Yang disappeared from the outer heavens at some unknown time, leaving no trace of him in the myriad realms. If someone were to travel back in time, they would surely discover that the person who stood on the vast earth talking to himself, seemingly communicating with someone, was none other than an axe-wielding figure exuding the intent of creation.

In the years that followed, that person cleaved the heavens with a single axe, creating a heaven beyond heavens, and another figure, who had long lived apart from the world, sat before a mysterious treasure wheel, turning it into a bustling world.

As prosperity turns to decline, the wheel symbolizing existence and splendor seems to reflect the millstone representing the end, with a figure that has never appeared in the world quietly waiting for everything to come to its destined end.

Lin Yang felt very strange at this moment, because he had no more cause and effect or connection with the myriad worlds and was in a state of formlessness.

He could observe everything in the myriad realms, but he could no longer interfere with everything as easily as before. The experience of his predecessors and his own intuition told him that as long as he interfered with the myriad realms in any way, even if it affected the trajectory of a single particle, he would be out of his current state.

Not only has his physical form changed, but his consciousness and self-awareness also seem to have been affected by this state, with some inexplicable changes.

I want to describe it, but it's contradictory. It's like a carefree prodigal son taking on the heavy burden of family, like an elder who has worked hard for everything finally letting go of all his worries and constraints, and like a victim who has been compromising for years finally making a crucial choice...

In this wondrous moment, the first era came to a complete end, and eternal nothingness replaced all the heavens and myriad realms, covering everything that was originally nothingness.

In that instant, a spiritual inspiration, which arose from nothing and then returned to nothing, with all sorts of contradictions and illogicalities, also emerged. Lin Yang's Dao Fruit, which no longer existed but possessed the true rudimentary form of the Dao, seemed to reappear at this moment, and under the influence of the cyclical spiritual inspiration, it produced the final and most crucial transformation that could not be achieved by human power.

This is the true 'Tao Fruit'.

At this moment, Lin Yang felt his consciousness ascending, leaping, falling, twisting, alienating, and becoming perfect.

In a daze, He seemed to have transformed into a 'monster' that He could not describe or infer in words. The inaccurate description of the 'Dao Fruit Master' by the Golden Emperor resurfaced in His mind.

Neither existent nor nonexistent, neither real nor empty.
