Living in the deep palace

An idea that even Su Chen himself found unbelievable emerged uncontrollably from his newly formed consciousness, which was integrated with his memories of Earth.

“My ‘Primordial’ Dao was born in this universe, therefore, it is subject to the suppression of the ‘Creator’ of this universe.”

“My ‘Taiyi True Spirit’ has condensed and taken shape in this universe, so it will be refined by this ‘Hall of Return to Origin’.”

"but……"

"My soul, my true self, my... origin, does not come from this world!"

"It comes from... Earth!"

"Here, the 'creator' of this universe... has no control over me!"

boom--! ! ! !

This thought was like a bolt of lightning that pierced the eternal night!

In an instant, all the confusion and despair in Su Chen's heart were dispelled!
He's been found!
He found the only way to break the deadlock!

That wasn't a contest of strength!
Rather, it's a matter of "rules," a dimensional reduction attack!

"Hahaha...hahahahahahahaha!"

Su Chen's consciousness erupted in a hearty, exhilarating laugh!

He no longer resisted the refining power, and even voluntarily gave up protecting the "Taiyi True Spirit" and the "Primordial Dao"!

Let them be stripped away, bit by bit, devoured by that terrifying force!
He wants to... put himself in a do-or-die situation and then survive!
He immersed all his last vestiges of consciousness into that ocean of "Earth's memory"!

He no longer recalled the battles and killings of the immortal world, nor did he try to comprehend the profound and unpredictable laws of the Dao.

He began to recall those things he once thought had become useless after time travel... "knowledge"!
A completely new and complete worldview system, entirely different from this cultivation universe, was reconstructed in his consciousness!

If we say that the "Tao" of this cultivation universe is built upon "spiritual energy" and "laws", then...

Therefore, the "Tao" of Earth and the universe is based on "matter" and "laws"!

The two are completely different "underlying codes"!
"So...that's it..."

There is more than one way!

"The existence of all things is itself a kind of 'Tao'!"

At this moment, Su-Chen's consciousness entered an unprecedented state of "enlightenment"!
His thinking transcended the realm of "monk".

He began to use his "scientific" thinking from Earth to deconstruct himself and the world!
"My 'Taiyi True Spirit' is essentially nothing more than a highly condensed 'energy aggregate' containing a vast amount of information..."

"My 'Primordial Dao' is, in essence, nothing more than a collection of my 'subjective understanding' of the 'laws' of this universe..."

"And the refining process in this 'Hall of Origin' is essentially nothing more than a process of entropy increase, which decomposes complex 'energy structures' into simpler 'fundamental particles'!"

When Su Chen looked at everything in front of him from this completely new perspective...

He discovered that the "Creator" and the "Hall of Origin" that had once filled him with fear and despair seemed... not so terrible after all.

They remain powerful.

But it is no longer... "incomprehensible"!

And just as Su Chen's consciousness was undergoing this earth-shattering transformation.

Astonishing changes also began to appear within his "Taiyi True Spirit"!

In the core area of ​​his "Earth's Memory," a brand new, unprecedented... "light" was quietly born.

That ray of light did not belong to any kind of energy in this universe.

It has no fluctuations of "spiritual energy" nor the Daoist essence of "laws".

It's more like a... pure "concept".

It is the light of logic! It is the light of wisdom! It is the light of civilization!
This ray of light, though faint, seems to transcend everything in this universe in its essence!
The moment it was born, the refining power that had been raging within Su Chen's true spirit seemed to encounter ice and snow, its natural enemy, and instinctively retreated!
They cannot decipher this ray of light!

They didn't even dare to approach this ray of light!
"What...what is this?!"

Outside, the will of the "Creator" let out a horrified scream!

He clearly "saw" the birth of that ray of light!
Before that ray of light, even He, the mighty "Creator," felt a profound sense of insignificance and fear emanating from the very core of His soul!
It's as if a god who created the "two-dimensional world" suddenly saw a finger from the "three-dimensional world"!
That kind of absolute, incomprehensible... crushing power comes from a higher dimension!
"no!"

"We absolutely cannot let it...grow!"

An unprecedented sense of crisis enveloped the heart of the "Creator"!

He didn't even bother to devour Su Chen's "Primordial" origin that had already been stripped away; instead, he frantically mobilized all the power of the "Hall of Returning to the Origin"!

He would spare no effort to completely... nip that glimmer of civilization that terrified Him in the bud!
boom--!!!!!!!!

The entire bronze space was trembling violently!

On the wall, the billions of runes seemed to ignite, transforming into a pure, chaotic flame that represented "end" and "return to nothingness"!
This is the strongest killing move of the "Hall of Origin"!
It is powerful enough to completely refine even beings at the fifth realm into their source... "Return to the Void Divine Flame"!
Endless chaotic flames, covering the sky and the earth, swept fiercely towards Su Chen's already tattered "Taiyi True Spirit" from all directions!

However, faced with this devastating blow...

Su Chen's consciousness, which had already merged with the "Light of Civilization," was unprecedentedly... calm.

You are wrong.

A calm, serene thought, devoid of any worldly concerns, slowly emanated from that faint ray of light.

"Battle is not simply a clash of strength."

"It's more like... a game of information."

The moment the words fell.

That faint ray of "civilizational light" suddenly began a rapid... evolution!
It is no longer a "point", but an instant, splitting, copying, combining, and evolving into an extremely complex "information flow"!
This information stream, in a way that the "Creator" could not comprehend at all, actively met the sweeping "Return to the Void Divine Flame"!
There were no earth-shattering explosions.

A roar without any counteracting forces.

The moment that endless "Return to the Void Divine Flame" came into contact with that "information stream".

A bizarre scene unfolded!
That terrifying flame, powerful enough to refine even those at the fifth realm, seemed to have encountered a "virus" within a "firewall." In an instant, its core "law of destruction" was altered and rewritten!
The concept of “combustion” has been replaced by “cooling”!
The concept of “destruction” has been replaced by “creation”!
The concept of "entropy increase" has been replaced by "entropy decrease"!
Ever since.

The chaotic sea of ​​fire that should have completely incinerated Su Chen into nothingness actually extinguished silently the moment it approached his true spirit.

No, it's not just extinguished!
They are still visibly rolling back, transforming back into the purest, most primordial... cosmic energy!
Furthermore, this pure energy was actively and frantically surging into Su Chen's damaged "Taiyi True Spirit," repairing his previous injuries!

"No...no...no!!!!"

The will of the "Creator" has completely collapsed!

He let out an incredulous roar, filled with fear and despair!
His strongest attack not only failed to harm the enemy in the slightest, but instead... became a "tonic" that healed them?!

This is no longer a matter of strength or weakness!

This is... a dimensional reduction-like... crushing defeat in the dimension of "cognition"!
His proud "Hall of Origin" and the "Origin of the Universe" that He controls are like a flawed toy in the face of the opponent's unheard-of "information" power!
"It's my turn."

Su Chen's calm thoughts resonated once more.

The next instant, his "Taiyi True Spirit," which had begun to recover, suddenly opened his eyes!
What kind of eyes were those!

In one eye, there is the all-encompassing, self-contained "Primordial Chaos"!
In the other eye, however, there is a torrent of data flashing with countless "0"s and "1"s, representing absolute "rationality" and "logic"!
Immortal cultivation, and technology!

Two completely different "paths," at this moment, merged perfectly into him in an incomparably harmonious yet incomparably eerie way! "In my name, I define..."

Su Chen slowly raised a finger and pointed it at the wall of this bronze space.

"This world is 'illusory'."

boom--!!!!!!!!!!

The moment the "definition" of "false" is given!

The entire seemingly indestructible "Hall of Origin," which was said to be eternal and immortal, actually... trembled violently!
"No! Stop! You monster! What... what did you do to my 'Hall of Origin'?!"

The will of the "Creator" is screaming madly!
He discovered that his connection with the "Hall of Origin" was being forcibly... severed!
This supreme treasure, which He had poured countless efforts into merging with His own essence, is now... betraying Him!

"It's very simple."

Su Chen's voice was devoid of any emotion.

"I simply told it that there was a 'bug' in its 'underlying code'."

"And I am... helping it get fixed."

talking.

Su Chen's finger touched it lightly!
Buzz—!!!! ...

The entire "Hall of Return to Origin" suddenly trembled!
Immediately, the remnant will of the "Creator" that had parasitized within it for countless epochs was like a real "virus," fiercely repelled by an irresistible force emanating from the "Hall of Origin" itself!

"Ah ah ah ah ah--!!!"

The will of the "Creator" let out an extremely shrill scream, and transformed into a phantom stream of light, which was forcibly ejected from the bronze space!
……

In the long river of time.

The once lifeless "Hall of Origin" suddenly burst into a dazzling light!

Immediately, a disheveled and illusory figure was thrown out violently!
It is the remnant will of that “Creator”!

At this moment, He was weaker and more...dim than ever before!
Being expelled by his own strongest magic weapon, like a "virus," dealt him a devastating blow!

"how so……"

He floated blankly in the river of time, still unable to accept the absurd reality before him.

And just then.

The massive bronze gate of the "Hall of Return to the Origin" slowly... opened.

A figure in white stepped out from within.

It was Su Chen!

At this moment, although Su Chen's aura was still somewhat weak, his eyes were brighter than ever before!
He succeeded.

Not only did he escape his predicament, but he also turned misfortune into blessing, embarking on a completely new path that was unprecedented and may never be repeated!

"Now, it seems that our positions are... reversed."

Su Chen looked at the weak and illusory figure and said calmly.

The will of that "creator," upon seeing Su Chen, reacted like a mouse seeing a cat, unleashing a fear originating from the depths of its soul!

"Monster! You monster!"

He screamed and turned to run away!
However, would Su Chen give him that chance?
In Su Chen's eyes, countless streams of data flashed by wildly.

He slowly raised his hand and clenched it in mid-air towards the fleeing figure!
hum!
The spacetime surrounding the will of the "Creator" suddenly contracted inward!
Time, space, cause and effect, destiny...

At this moment, all the "concepts" related to Him were forcibly... deleted by Su Chen using a more advanced "information" method!

That illusory figure that once looked down upon the era and called itself the "Creator" died before it could even utter a scream...

It vanished without a sound or a trace.

It was as if He had never appeared in this long river of time.

Complete... annihilation!

After doing all this, Su Chen gently exhaled a breath of stale air.

He turned around and looked at the magnificent bronze gate that floated silently behind him—the "Hall of Origin".

Now that it has cleared the "virus," it appears incredibly docile.

She was even conveying a sense of "closeness" to Su Chen.

A complex emotion flashed in Su Chen's eyes.

He knew that the essence of this great hall was the "original core" of this universe.

In theory, if he wanted, he could right now take his place and become the new... "Creator".

but.

Su Chen shook his head.

"Your 'path' is not suitable for me."

he said softly.

Then, he reached out and gently pushed against the massive bronze door.

This supreme treasure, which carried the origin of the universe and suppressed countless ages, transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the deeper reaches of the river of time.

He gave up this incredible opportunity.

Because his path lies ahead!

Su Chen raised his head, his gaze piercing through the endless mists of time, looking towards that even more ancient, even more chaotic... spacetime.

That was his destination!

The Age of Mythology, before the First Age!
Having defeated this unexpected and formidable foe, it's time for him to get down to business.

He wanted to use the perfect laws of the Great Dao of that era to perfect his own path to becoming a "Taiyi Golden Immortal"!
Furthermore, one must integrate this newly comprehended "information" path with the path of immortality at a deeper level!
He had a premonition.

When he truly pushed these two paths to their limits and they merged into one.

He might be able to possess the ability to truly rival the beings of the Fifth Realm outside the "Gate"!

even……

Surpass them!

Filled with boundless anticipation and high morale, Su Chen's face revealed a long-lost smile.

Without further hesitation, he strode forward, heading towards that ancient era filled with endless unknowns and opportunities...

He strode away! (End of Chapter)
