I have a volume of human scriptures

When everything came to light...

Yu Chen let out a long breath.

In fact, when he had nothing to do, he had thought countless times about what kind of people those elusive "third type" were and what their purpose was.

He considered countless possibilities.

For example, it could be a vast force led by hidden ancient beings, aiming to overturn the current chaotic state of the spacetime; or perhaps the so-called "third type" ancient beings are actually hidden among the seventeen ancient beings in the World Alliance and the Hunter's factions, forming a secret alliance; or perhaps they are a third-party force independent of the chaotic spacetime, not beings that evolved from the chaotic spacetime...

Over the course of countless years, Yu Chen guessed every possible possibility.

But no matter what, he never imagined that the so-called true "third category" did not actually exist at all.

—Whether it's the leader of the third class, who is said to possess the power to rival the Ancients.

He was actually just a projection of Yu Chen's anger and resentment after his body was possessed by his natural enemy during the first reincarnation, which erased all life in the new world.

As for whether he can contend with the power of the Ancient Ones, that is a matter of opinion. In essence, Dark Yu Chen has no combat power whatsoever. Even the smallest insect is, in a sense, stronger than him.

However, because he has mastered the evolution method of countless array patterns in the Canghai Sangtian Grand Array, who can regard him as the combination of all combat power in the entire chaotic sea of ​​time and space except for the source essence of the natural enemy?

One is in the heavens, the other on the earth; it all depends on how you judge it.

Apart from him, all the members of the third category—whether they were from the Abyss World or the Holy Angels, or even more hidden in the World Alliance and the Hunters' camps—were actually just beings that existed in countless reincarnations, evolved by Dark Yu Chen using the array patterns of the Vast Ocean Array.

Not only that.

He can also freely control their strength and weakness, or more accurately, not control the intensity, but choose which stage of their evolution to take.

Let's take the simplest example, a single world.

If the world that evolves is the embryonic stage, then it is naturally pitifully weak.

However, if what evolves is a version of him that has evolved dozens of times, then naturally it will be incomparable.

Whether it's the Abyss World or the Holy Angels, they are essentially the same kind of existence.

The time it takes for these evolutions varies; some have existed for thousands of years, while others are only a fleeting moment, like a flash in the pan, disappearing after completing their mission!
Similarly, this is also the key to their ability to freely change their aura and form.

The so-called disguise technique is actually a method of using the Great Array of the Changing Seas and Changing Fields to change one's external appearance, thereby completely concealing one's aura.

The reason why those third types can use such methods is because they do not exist in this world. They are like incredibly soft dough that can be molded into any shape.

As for Yu Chen, the reason why he was also able to use such a disguise technique was because Dark Yu Chen had given him special treatment—whenever he tried to hide himself in a certain way, the array patterns of the Canghai Sangtian Grand Array would cooperate to disguise him as that way.

Therefore, Yu Chen's so-called disguise technique did not change anything about him at all.

It's just that the entire Canghai Sangtian Grand Formation was given the green light by Hei An Yu Chen.

That's the truth of everything.

And it was at this moment that Yu Chen finally understood that in this endless chaotic sea of ​​time and space, whether it was him or all the life he had ever encountered—whether it was life in the Three Realms, life born in the new world, or the countless worlds he encountered after leaving the chaotic sea of ​​time and space…

In a sense, they are no longer the people they once were.

Only in the first cycle of reincarnation is everything real.

All subsequent lives are merely a replay of the first cycle of reincarnation.

This made Yu Chen feel a little dazed.

For a moment, I felt a strong sense of unreality.

To give a somewhat inappropriate analogy, it's like after living for decades, someone suddenly tells you that you're just a program—although you are a program, you have your own thoughts and consciousness, actions and judgments, personality and likes and dislikes.

But in the endless cycle of reincarnation, there have already been countless versions of you, from birth to destruction, repeating the cycle again and again.

This was naturally a blow to Yu Chen.

In an instant, he felt as if the path he had walked and all his decisions had not been made by him personally!
His existence is merely a projection and imprint of the Great Array of Changing Seas and Changing Fields, and all his choices are based on repetitions of past cycles.

Even if they take different paths in life after entering the chaotic sea of ​​time and space, it is because of the various guidance and arrangements made by the dark Yu Chen in the dark.

Now, it all seems like it was all just a lie.

Yu Chen remained silent for a long, long time, unable to come to his senses.

And it was at this moment that all the illusions came to an abrupt end, shattering like reflections in a mirror or the moon in the water, disappearing without a trace.

Before Yu Chen's eyes, there was once again an endless void—in this vast void, a rolling golden river surged forward, its end nowhere in sight.

Beyond that golden river, seventeen towering and terrifying figures stood tall, casting down boundless and terrifying divine power!
In that instant, it even took Yu Chen a while to realize what he had been doing.

He must have been hiding in the battlefield between the remnants of his natural enemies and the hunters, and used that time to comprehend the Dao of Primal Time.

However, during this process, they witnessed terrifying projections of ancient beings beyond the endless golden river of time.

However, just when he thought that was all, he saw the ancient and mysterious dark world behind himself and Yu Youyu.

Driven by curiosity, he delved deeper into his thoughts and finally saw all the illusions he had seen before in the endless black mist—or rather, they were things that had actually happened in countless reincarnations.

From the very first cycle of reincarnation, Yu Chen rose from a lowly mortal in the Three Realms, overcoming countless obstacles and advancing triumphantly, eventually becoming a perfect ancient being who surpassed all other ancient beings.

Unfortunately, in the end, everything they did benefited their natural enemy.

The Yu Chen in the first cycle of reincarnation was the real Yu Chen. As for all the others, they were merely projections of the Great Array of Changing Seas and Changing Fields.

Thinking of this again, Yu Chen smiled bitterly. There had long ago, the secret of the third category was the biggest question and source of curiosity in his heart.

But after finally opening that door and seeing the bloody truth, all Yu Chen could do was sigh and wry smile.

Sometimes, ignorance truly brings ease and joy.

At least we can forever roam in the ocean of ignorance until the end comes.

In that instant, it was as if he understood what the other person was thinking.

From within the endless, pitch-black mist, a distorted humanoid figure suddenly spoke: "Originally, I didn't want to tell you all this..."

At that moment, Yu Chen looked up and saw the real, dark Yu Chen!
He sighed, "What's the point? Only now do I realize that everything is just a projection of reincarnation..."

"Do not."

But faced with his negative attitude, Dark Yu Chen slowly shook his head and said, "The so-called projection and imprint are actually just to make it easier for you to understand the form presented. The real truth is that every reincarnation is real."

Or rather, every cycle of reincarnation is an illusion—not just the cycle after the first one you've witnessed, but even the very first cycle itself is an illusion. Only the moment when everything truly settles down, the cycle of reincarnation at that moment, is truly real.

For a moment, Yu Chen was stunned.

Dark Yu Chen continued, "Let me call you by your own name, 'My Other Self.'"

Perhaps in your mind, the Great Array of Changing Seas and Changing Fields is just a machine that constantly records and re-enacts events, but that is not actually the case.

With each cycle of destruction, what it truly does is transform reality into illusion, and then start all over again.

This is true for every cycle of reincarnation, including the first one.

That's why I say that every cycle of reincarnation is nothing but an illusion—nothing will remain except for me, a mistake that appears in each and every reincarnation.

Then it continued, "I think the essence of the Great Array of Changing Seas and Changing Fields is more like 'deduction'. Each cycle is a kind of deduction, and once the final result of the deduction is destruction by the natural enemy, then this deduction is a cycle."

Regardless of the process, whatever happens in it, whether this cycle of reincarnation is long or short, it is nothing more than a failed deduction.

True reality requires breaking through the limitations of the vicissitudes of time and reaching the next cycle of reincarnation; only then can it truly exist.

At this point, Yu Chen seemed to remember something.

Suddenly, he spoke up: "—Defeat your natural enemy?!"

“That’s right. In the final projection of the Great Array of Changing Seas and Changing Fields, the Chaos himself admitted that it was because of his nature of “change” that he created the Great Array of Changing Seas and Changing Fields, causing everything to cycle again and again—even if it’s just like that, it is in line with his nature of “change”.”

But actually, I think he wasn't telling the truth—or rather, there were things he didn't say. For example, what he most hoped for wasn't this monotonous and predetermined cycle again and again, but rather that at some point—when something unexpected really happened—that the natural enemy could be completely suppressed and destroyed, allowing everything to return to normal, instead of the endless cycle of reincarnation. "That's what Dark Yu Chen said."

"Then do you think I have a chance?" Yu Chen asked after a long silence.

Yu Chen nodded.

"I'm not afraid you won't like what I'm about to say, but whether it's the chaos, you, or all the life and existence you care about—to me, none of it matters anymore."

Although I am the reincarnation of you from the first cycle, in reality, all that remains in my heart is anger and resentment—it is this obsession that sustains me, this anger and obsession towards my natural enemy.

So whether it's Chaos's purpose or your lives or deaths, I don't care, even though I know those are things I should care about—but actually, I only care about one thing, and that is…revenge!

At that moment, his voice was resolute and chilling!

"Taking revenge against our natural enemy!"

"To terrify him!"

"Make him suffer!"

"Scare him!"

"Make him powerless!"

"Make him despair!"

In that instant, the distorted human form became even more distorted, as if it had transformed into an indescribable and terrifying thing!
The endless terror and rage even made Yu Chen's scalp tingle!
I feel so uncomfortable!
"—Let all the pain and torment I have experienced be relived on him a thousand times over!"

But the next moment, it was like an illusion.

After saying these words, Dark Yu Chen's emotions returned to calm and indifference.

"Therefore, based on this purpose, the path I have chosen for you is one that completely disregards your free will, completely ignores any other factors, and has only one ultimate goal: to defeat your natural enemy!"
Therefore, there's only one thing you don't need to worry about—if, after combining the experiences and lessons learned from countless reincarnations, the stepping stones you've built still aren't enough to defeat your natural enemy, then there truly is no way to defeat him in this world!

At this point, Yu Chen spoke again.
"So rest assured, in countless reincarnations, in countless lives, the path you are on now is absolutely the one with the greatest possibility of defeating your natural enemy!"

After hearing this, Yu Chen took a deep breath.

Some fighting spirit was rekindled.

Just as Dark Yu Chen said.

Real? Fake?
In reality, under the power of the Vast Ocean Formation, it had long since lost all meaning.

The existence of the "Great Array of Changing Seas and Changing Fields" has completely transcended the concept of "true or false".

If we must distinguish between truth and falsehood, then only the cycle that has a future and will not be repeated or looped is truly real!

And if you want to pursue and own this future, there is only one prerequisite!
That is... defeating the natural enemy! (End of Chapter)
