this infinite world

Chapter 1002 From Zero to One
The multiverse is destroyed.

All the light, all the life, the colors of the world, existence, everything disappeared. Everything in the universe seemed to have lost its luster, and it was dead silent, falling into an endless end.

The era ends, the great way collapses, and all things no longer have form.

Yang Yun did not show any surprise at the arrival of the end of the multiverse. In fact, he had already foreseen this scene of destruction.

——He was surprised that he could still maintain his own consciousness and even witness the moment when the multiverse was completely destroyed.

At the last moment of the universe, Yang Yun seemed to be a bystander, witnessing the collapse of the universe. Beyond time and space, beyond matter and energy, as if standing in an absolutely safe spectator seat, witnessing the end of everything from the perspective of a third-party spectator.

There was no doubt about Yang Yun's death, because from the very beginning when he decided to use himself as bait and take Chi You's "Doomsday" knife, he had already foreseen his own death.

No matter how small the size of this era is, even if there is only one plane left in this old multiverse, it still contains the meaning of the destruction of the entire multiverse, which is simply beyond human power to resist. Not to mention Yang Yun, who has never held a saintly position, even if an old junior saint like the Central Vision Buddha is placed in his position, he will only die.

——Therefore, Yang Yun did not choose to defend, nor did he choose to attack, because his enemy was not Chi You. Even if he really defeated the opponent in the final blow, it would not change the birth and death of the era. This is the law of the cycle of nature... What Yang Yun chose was to place his bet on the "present", or the "future".

Because the restart of the multiverse is actually a cyclical process.

This old multiverse should have come to an end ten years ago, but it was preserved for some special reasons. According to normal development, it should start again as the starting point of the next era, and everything in it, whether it is people or things, matter or energy, will become nutrients for another multiverse after the restart.

Of course, the end is a link that nothing can escape. All things, eras, and even the multiverse itself must end one day, whether it is due to the decline of oneself, the destruction of other powerful beings, or due to some irresistible "accident" from a higher dimensional level.

But the end, in addition to being the end of all things, is also the soil for the next future. After destruction, there is creation; and after the end, there will eventually be a new life.

——Looking into the future, it is chaos; looking back, there is nothingness behind me.

Suddenly, time and space were annihilated and turned into non-existent nothingness; matter and energy were shattered and melted into a hazy chaos. The two devoured each other and merged, eventually turning into a tiny dot with infinite mass and infinitely small volume, which seemed to exist but not exist.

The origin, the center point, the origin of all convergence of the universe, and the final and initial origin.

Then, there was an explosion - chaos exploded, separating earth, wind, water, and fire. The clear air rose to become the sky, and the turbid air sank to become the earth.

Billions of years, billions of years, countless years have passed, and all things that were destroyed in the multiverse in the past have finally been reborn in the passage of time. They once again grow, develop, and become stronger in this new multiverse...

Then, time seemed to be accelerated. In just a moment, the scene at the beginning of the creation of the multiverse turned into a cloud of phantom mist, and when it reappeared, it was already unknown how many years later.

Before he had time to question what was happening in front of him, the next moment, as if a mysterious existence had attracted Yang Yun's attention.

——That was him.

Yang Yun, who was in the "audience seats", watched another self being born, growing up healthily, experiencing setbacks, and being betrayed...Finally, on that destined day, he touched the button to enter the main god space.

"You could have been the only protagonist in this multiverse." Suddenly, a blue light man appeared silently beside Yang Yun, as if he had been there from the beginning and had never left: "This is a brand new story after a restart. Nothing has happened yet, and the protagonist's position is vacant."

"And you, who have successfully reincarnated and safely transitioned the destruction of the previous era to the next era, connecting two stories that should have been unrelated, can easily take the position of the protagonist in your hands."

"But you gave up, and gave up so easily."

There was no joy, no sadness, and even no curiosity in the words of the blue light man. There was only pure confusion: "Can you tell me why you chose this?"

"First of all, in order for the story to proceed smoothly, my death is necessary."

Looking at his other self pressing his finger on the "YES" button, Yang Yun just answered calmly. In fact, he himself didn't know why he could be so calm.

Yang Yun's death is inevitable, because the "present" Yang Yun and the "past" Yang Yun are actually the same person. If Yang Yun of the previous era does not die, then Yang Yun of the next era will not be born, which will lead to a bug in the restarted multiverse that should not exist.

"Secondly, I don't think I am qualified to be the so-called 'protagonist' right now. In my opinion, the position of the protagonist is obtained step by step by relying on one's own strength, rather than being appointed by someone else... What's more, even if I really intend to fight for it, there will definitely be someone who will interfere."

As he spoke, Yang Yun moved his gaze upwards, and just outside the multiverse, three faint rays of light emerged.

The one on the left is colorful and all-encompassing; the one on the right is divided into six emperors, full of compassion; and the one in the middle is a yellowish-brown aura flowing, connecting with the power of the human race in the multiverse, just like the way of heaven, suppressing all those who disobey...

Emperor.

The Three Sovereigns of the Human Race: Nuwa, Hou Tu, and Fuxi.

He is just as Chi You said, high and mighty, and even if the era changes, he can maintain his throne and maintain his power.

"Do you think this is enough?" The blue light man still had a puzzled tone in his words: "The errors in the multiverse have been fixed, and everything will be back on track. If that's all, you haven't changed anything."

"No, I think I have changed something... Just like Chu Xuan said, I let my thoughts run wild and trust my inner feelings. In this way, there will be no ideas that cannot be conveyed; I firmly believe that the efforts of me and all my partners will never be just a dream."

As he spoke, Yang Yun smiled at the being beside him: "Thank you, Dr. Manhattan... Thank you for preserving this era that should have been destroyed for ten years, allowing me to take this last and initial step."

The next moment, Yang Yun jumped from the "audience seats" and threw himself into the multiverse in front of him, and at the same time threw his body and soul into the darkness called "death".

Then, starting with death, the journey begins again.

——From zero to one.
