I have a volume of human scriptures

Only after defeating their natural enemy.

Only through repeated cycles of what Dark Yu Chen calls "deduction" will it become true reality.

Because only by defeating their natural enemy can the Chaotic Sea of ​​Time and Space have a true future—no matter where that future leads, no matter whether the World Alliance or the Hunters ultimately win, no matter how many grudges, entanglements, loves, and hates there are…

Everything needs to change, everything needs to continue, just like the endless river of time, flowing forward without end, bursting forth with endless possibilities.

This is the true reality, not a predetermined ending where everything starts anew.

This cannot be considered real at all.

It's just an endless cycle, over and over again.

After figuring all this out, Yu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, his fighting spirit and hope were rekindled.

In fact, it could be said that I felt much more at ease.

He raised his head and looked at Hei An Yu Chen: "I will do my best, but if I fail in the end, please continue on your path—you must defeat your nemesis."

That being said, he had actually made up his mind that he would completely eliminate his natural enemy in this lifetime, no matter what the cost!
However, despite these seemingly polite words, Yu Chen slowly shook his head.

For a moment, Yu Chen was stunned.

What does shaking your head mean?
“Originally, I shouldn’t have come to see you, nor should I have let you become aware of my existence, at least until the real battle is over—everything I showed you before will have an impact on you.”

Yu Chen spoke from the darkness.

Yu Chen frowned: "So, when I saw you outside the Golden River earlier, it was because you deliberately showed yourself?"

He recalled the eighteenth terrifying shadow he had discovered besides the ancient beings when he was comprehending the primordial way of time. So he went to investigate and finally discovered the secret of reincarnation.

“Indeed, no life form can detect my presence unless I choose to—neither those who call themselves the Ancients, nor you.”

Dark Yu Chen continued, "But you must believe one thing: I am not deliberately hiding this from you. It is because we are of the same origin, and every contact could cause unimaginable 'mistakes' and paradoxes."

That's why, even though I paved the way for you all the way, I never actually showed myself to you once.

But now, there's no other way; I have to let you know everything.

"Why?" Yu Chen had a vague sense of foreboding.

“Because… this reincarnation may be the last one.” Dark Yu Chen’s voice remained calm as he spoke.

Yu Chen was stunned.

—How come this is the last life?

Could it be that the Great Array of Changing Seas and Changing Lands has malfunctioned?

"The Great Array of Changing Seas and Changing Fields may not last much longer." Dark Yu Chen said in a way that never fails to shock people, "In fact, you should have already sensed it in those cycles of reincarnation."

While the Great Array of Changing Seas and Mulberry Fields can evolve and reset everything, it has no way to affect the power of 'Source Matter'. This is because the Great Array of Changing Seas and Mulberry Fields is essentially just a means of utilizing chaotic power, and it cannot reset 'Source Matter', which is of the same level as it.

In that instant, Yu Chen felt a chill run down his spine.

"It seems you've already grasped the crux of the problem."

Dark Yu Chen continued, "—In each cycle, although everything is forcibly returned to the very beginning, only the source essence of the natural enemy remains unaffected."

Instead, as time goes by, his essence is gradually accumulating and recovering—because he loses his memories with each reincarnation, so even he himself may not have realized it.

But as an observer, I could clearly sense that the source of the natural enemy became more concentrated and stronger with each cycle.

In countless cycles of reincarnation, this originally very thin source energy, which was completely suppressed by the Canghai Sangtian Grand Array, has become so terrifying that it is comparable to the chaotic power that originally constituted the Canghai Sangtian Grand Array.

If the cycle of reincarnation continues, the source power of the natural enemy will continue to recover and grow—until one day it completely surpasses the Canghai Sangtian Formation. At that time, even at the very last moment, when the Canghai Sangtian Formation descends, the natural enemy will be able to recover source power that surpasses the Canghai Sangtian Formation and completely destroy and shatter it with brute force.

And when that time comes, there will never be another cycle of reincarnation.

In that instant, Yu Chen understood everything completely.

If the Great Array of Changing Seas and Changing Fields is an incredibly massive machine, with everything in the chaotic sea of ​​time and space under its control, then there are only two things it cannot control.

One is the Dark Yu Chen, who does not belong to the cycle of reincarnation; the other is the source power of his natural enemy.

His current nemesis is already severely injured and weakened, and the source energy he possesses is far from comparable to his former prime.

If the source power he possessed during the first cycle of reincarnation was likened to a spring, then the chaotic power that constituted the Great Array of Changing Seas and Lands was an infinitely vast ocean.

This is precisely why the natural enemy's memories were stolen by the Great Array of Changing Seas and Lands, and reincarnated—even if the power is of the same level, as long as there is a difference in "quantity", one side will still be crushed.

Just like light and darkness, which are both forms of energy, if the two forces are roughly equal, then a fragile balance will exist between light and darkness.

However, if the light within either of them becomes stronger and more concentrated, it will completely overwhelm the other.

In the beginning, the chaotic power of the Great Array of Changing Seas and Changing Fields left by Chaos at its peak far surpassed that of the severely injured and dormant natural enemy.

But Chaos is dead, and the chaotic power of the Great Array of Changing Seas and Changing Fields that he left behind will remain unchanged in total amount no matter how many years and reincarnations pass.

But their natural enemies are not like that.

He is still alive.

Therefore, even unconsciously, the source power he possesses will gradually recover—returning to its former glory.

Once he recovers to that level, the Great Array of Changing Seas and Changing Lands will have no chance against him anymore.

Or rather, it doesn't need to be restored to its peak; as long as the source power he possesses is equal to the chaotic power that constitutes the Canghai Sangtian Grand Array, the Canghai Sangtian Grand Array will no longer be able to force the natural enemy into reincarnation.

At that time, he will retain a clear memory, just like Dark Yu Chen.

If the source power he possesses completely surpasses the chaotic power that constitutes the Canghai Sangtian Grand Array, he might even be able to destroy the Canghai Sangtian Grand Array!
By then, it could be considered reality. But it was a reality that left people feeling hopeless and powerless.

Everything will be destroyed.

Whether it's the chaotic sea of ​​time and space, the world within it, or the life within that world.

All of these will come to an indiscriminate and complete end.

The essence that the natural enemy inherited from that one and only being is "fear of change" and "pursuit of the unchanging."

One can imagine that if it really reached that level, no life would be born in this infinite void except for natural enemies—completely satisfying his so-called "unchanging" essence.

"Is it...this life?"

Yu Chen murmured, then asked, "After this cycle of reincarnation, will the source energy power of the natural enemy recover to surpass that of the Canghai Sangtian Grand Array?"

Dark Yu Chen nodded, "Or rather, at this moment, the source power he possesses is completely on par with the Canghai Sangtian Grand Array."

But don't forget, this cycle of reincarnation is far from over. So by then, the power of the primal essence of the natural enemy will probably have surpassed the chaotic power that constitutes the Great Array of Changing Seas and Changing Fields.

In other words, this is the last reincarnation.

If we cannot seize this opportunity to completely defeat our natural enemy, then when he destroys the entire chaotic sea of ​​time and space, the Great Array of Changing Seas and Changing Lands will also be destroyed.

When that time comes, this will also become a reality—only this time, it will be a reality that neither you nor I want to see.

Upon hearing this, Yu Chen's heart instantly became extremely heavy.

Is this the last chance?

Even though he had made up his mind to defeat his natural enemy in this life, he still felt unprecedented pressure at this moment.

But then he suddenly realized something.

Right?
“Wait, even if this is the last life, you still haven’t explained why you suddenly appeared here…” Yu Chen looked at his other self and said.

"This is my selfish intention."

Dark Yu Chen spoke: "Actually, if it's just the final battle of this life, even if you don't know about the countless reincarnations before, you should be able to walk the rest of the way on your own, following the path I've laid out for you, until the final battle arrives."

But... so I am just a projection and obsession formed by anger and resentment, but I also don't want everything I have done and the countless cycles of destruction in the past to be unknown to anyone.

Regardless of victory or defeat, whether you win or your nemesis wins, all the cycles of reincarnation will be submerged in nothingness, unknown to anyone.

I didn't want it to be like this, which is why I risked everything to show myself and tell you everything.

In that instant, Yu Chen keenly sensed something... not good from the words of his other self.

According to him, even if he were to jump out during the final battle and tell Yu Chen the whole truth, those stories of reincarnation should never have been lost.

But he chose to appear suddenly now and tell us everything.

This feeling... is more like, a last will and testament?

"I already told you, didn't I? The source energy of our natural enemy is constantly expanding and growing—it has even begun to have an unstable effect on the Great Array of Changing Seas and Lands itself."

Even though the natural enemy is completely unaware of this, this is the reality—although the source matter and the power of chaos are both the power of that one unique being, and are essentially from the same source, because the natural enemy and chaos inherited two completely contradictory parts of Him, these two powers will clash and collide with each other without even needing to be controlled by either of them.

—In the endless past, the chaotic power that constituted the Great Array of Changing Seas and Changing Fields suppressed the power of the source essence. It was precisely because of this that the recovery of the source essence power of the natural enemy was so slow.

Otherwise, it would probably take less than half a cycle for the natural enemy to fully recover to its peak condition.

Getting back to the main point, when the true future is still uncertain, the Great Array of Changing Seas and Changing Fields can be said to be the foundation of everything. Everything evolved from it, and everything was deduced from it.

At this moment, the power of the natural enemy's source matter has reached parity with the Canghai Sangtian Grand Formation, and is unconsciously and continuously impacting the Canghai Sangtian Grand Formation hidden beneath the chaotic sea of ​​time and space.

Some of the array patterns have already begun to crumble. If this continues, even without any intervention from natural enemies, the Great Array of Changing Seas and Mulberry Fields will collapse in an instant—and at that time, those reincarnations whose future is not truly certain will be instantly annihilated due to the collapse of the Great Array of Changing Seas and Mulberry Fields.

Yu Chen gasped and remained silent for a long time.

"Has the situation... deteriorated to this point?"

He spoke slowly, as if talking to himself.

Yu Chen nodded.

"And now, only I can stabilize the situation of the 'Changing Seas and Changing Fields' formation."

Since I have mastered almost all the array patterns of the Vast Ocean Formation, from now on, I need to merge myself into the Vast Ocean Formation, monitor the entire formation, and re-evolve the array patterns in any parts that are impacted and collapse.

Once I fully integrate into the Vast Ocean Formation, I will no longer be able to interfere with anything in the outside world—because the Vast Ocean Formation will only appear from the bottom of the chaotic sea of ​​time and space when it is truly activated.

This was a rule set by the original Chaos—to conceal the existence of the Great Array of Changing Seas and Lands from the natural enemies in the forbidden zone, preventing them from discovering its existence prematurely.

In other words, this is our first meeting, but it could also be our last.

Unless... the moment you completely defeat your natural enemy, we might have a chance to meet again.

Upon hearing this, Yu Chen fell silent.

But Yu Chen seemed to have been prepared for this, and said, "So, besides my own selfish reasons, I also want to tell you that the path I paved for you has come to an end here. From now on, you will have to walk all the roads yourself."

The third type will completely disappear into the chaotic sea of ​​time and space after this moment. You will need to unite the entire chaotic sea of ​​time and space single-handedly to fight against your natural enemy!

Looking at the silent Yu Chen, he continued,
"Move forward, and hopefully one day, on the day you achieve your goal, we can see each other one last time."

As the words fell, the already distorted human figure slowly vanished. (End of Chapter)
