Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

[Oh, I knew this would happen, so my previous reminder was totally unnecessary.]

The voice seemed a little helpless.

"Are you the system?"

Jiang Ming couldn't help but frown, but the voice quickly gave an answer.

[No, it can be said that it is not at all]

[But there is no point in saying so much. I won’t be here for long, so I’ll keep it short.]

[You are here for the rules of the swordsmanship universe, right? ]

[I didn't expect that you are now able to bear it. The speed is faster than I thought. Of course, I can't rule out that guy secretly helping you, but it's still beyond my expectation.]

"Are you letting the system observe me?"

Jiang Ming swallowed unconsciously. Of course, doing so seemed to be of no use in this consciousness space.

But the voice seemed to understand something, and it seemed to nod and then spoke.

[Hmm, if you use a more understandable name, it would be called a system...? ]

[Oh, you don't have to rush to look for me. After all, this is your consciousness space, and I am everywhere here, so just listen carefully and don't look around.]

Seeing that Jiang Ming was looking around like an idiot, the voice couldn't help but appear to remind him.

[Ahem, that person... the system should have explained it to you.]

The voice cleared its throat twice in a very human way and then used the system's name. However, judging from the way he pronounced it, these two words were indeed unfamiliar to him.

[The rules of the universe were once a power created by a top-level strongman alone. Unless you inherit or get help from this person, only that person can use it.]

"Oh? So, you called me here on purpose. Could it be that you are the top expert who wants to pass on this inheritance to me?"

Jiang Ming made this guess after hearing these remarks.

【Hehe, who knows? 】

[Maybe I just don’t want the things I created to disappear from this world. You should understand that this is a pity.]

"Yeah, I can understand."

Jiang Ming narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded imperceptibly to show that he understood, but he then changed the subject.

"But I understand that there is no reward without merit. You passed on this extremely domineering move to me. Is it really just because you don't want it to disappear?"

"The system told me that the top expert, that is, you, has fallen. Why did you fall? You obviously possessed such a powerful strength..."

Faced with Jiang Ming's in-depth questioning, the voice didn't seem to want to explain further.

[You can just ask that guy about that kind of thing. He will help you in many ways. Don't worry about him harming you.]

[Okay, let’s continue]

The owner of the voice simply ignored Jiang Ming's question and continued talking to himself.

[First of all, the rules of the universe are not considered as moves. Compared with powerful attacks, they tend to increase the power in this aspect.]

[However, since there is swordsmanship, there are naturally other aspects of the universe rules.]

【For example.......】

[Power Universe Rules]

[Rules of the Space Universe]

【Destroy the Universe Rules】

【Rules of the Reincarnation Universe】

【Cause and Effect Universe Rules】

【Wait, wait...】

[Of course, they were all created by the same person, and they are all manifestations of his ultimate understanding of these things]

[However, there are sword-fighting universe rules only because he plays with swords. If he stopped playing with swords and played with knives instead, maybe there would be sword-fighting universe rules? ]

[Haha, just kidding]

[Okay, now that we have explained the deeper explanation, let’s get to the point.]

[As I just said, only with his inheritance or help can you understand it on your own]

[Now, please accept this inheritance. It may be a little painful, of course, mentally.]

Snapped!

The owner of the voice seemed to snap his fingers, and then Jiang Ming's originally dark consciousness space suddenly became bright.

At the same time, countless golden swords were waving in front of Jiang Ming, and an indescribable sword aura was spreading around Jiang Ming.

But just as he was about to observe carefully, the golden swords around him suddenly shrank, condensed into golden light balls and drilled into Jiang Ming's body.

"Varied......?!"

In an instant, Jiang Ming's originally calm mind was instantly flooded with a large amount of understanding of the [Rules of the Sword Universe], but this was so huge that Jiang Ming felt that his head was about to explode.

[It’s normal for it to hurt...it would be strange if it didn’t hurt]

The voice appeared again, but he did not talk to anyone, he just talked to himself.

[At least I don’t have to walk alone on this road for so long]

[My life is over, it's your life next, don't be like me]

【I am tired】

[Just live a little more freely in this world, don’t be like a slave]

[Unless... you still choose this path]

[It is precisely because of this special reason that I must let that... system suppress your terrible understanding]

【See you again if we are destined】

【Jiang Ming】

Chapter 145 [Extreme] Star God

I don’t know how long it took, but when Jiang Luo woke up again, he had returned to the real world.

When I opened my eyes, I saw the familiar simulation training room. The pain in my brain caused by the influx of memories had long since dissipated.

If that memory hadn't been retained in his brain, Jiang Ming would have really thought that he had just had a dream.

"......"

"What a weird guy..."

[Welcome back, host, congratulations on reaching the entry level of swordsmanship universe rules]

"Well, I'm back."

When the system saw Jiang Ming coming back, it immediately expressed congratulations, and Jiang Ming asked after responding.

"I saw a strange man in my consciousness space. That guy seemed to know you. Do you know who he is?"

【...】

"You'll answer me, won't you?"

【...】

[Host, do you know Star God? ]

The system did not answer Jiang Ming's question immediately, but asked him a question in return.

Jiang Ming knew that the system wanted to use this being called Star God to better explain it to him, but unfortunately he knew nothing about Star God.

"No, I don't know, but you seemed to have said before that if you practice the swordsmanship universe rules to a certain level, you can even kill it."

[Hmm... In that case, let me first tell you about the Star God.]

[This will also help you better understand what I will say later]

[First of all, host, you should also know]

[There are countless leaves on the tree of imaginary numbers, and each leaf represents a world]

[This also means there are other worlds]

[The Star Gods are the supreme mysterious beings in one of the worlds. In the myths passed down by word of mouth in that world, they are the embodiment of a highly condensed philosophical concept and the ones who practice a certain belief to the highest degree.]

[And this belief is also called (destiny)]

[It is the path to godhood that the Star Gods take. The birth of each Star God means the beginning of a (fate)]

[To put it simply, if destiny is compared to a road, then whoever walks the farthest on this road is the star god of this destiny]

"Wouldn't that make me invincible?"

Hearing Jiang Ming's question, the system sighed very humanely.

[No, Star Gods will also fall]

[Although they can use the imaginary energy of their destiny at will, Star Gods cannot go against their own destiny. Once it is opened, it cannot be closed, and giving up their destiny means falling.]

[Of course, it cannot be changed]

[There are many types of Star Gods, such as Destroyer Star God, Breeder Star God, etc.]

[The person you just met]

[Probably the Star God who pursues [extreme]]

"Extreme?"

Jiang Ming, who had been listening till now, finally expressed his doubts. He really couldn't understand the meaning of "Ultimate".

"If you say so, then the Star God of Destruction means endless destruction, and the Star God of Reproduction means endless reproduction..."

"What about [Extreme]?"

[I think he should have explained to you that he created more than one cosmic rule, and each cosmic rule means that he has gone very far in this regard]

[Thus, he took not just one road, but many roads at once]

[He calls his own destiny...the ultimate]

[Endlessly pursuing the limits of each field]

[This... is the Ultimate Star God]

[And he... has already fallen. What just appeared in your consciousness space is just a remnant soul that may disappear at any time.]

"..."

Just as Jiang Ming was thinking carefully about the system's explanation, he suddenly discovered a blind spot.

"Wait, you just said that the fate of star gods cannot be changed. What if the fate of two star gods is the same? "

[If the destinies with overlapping concepts collide, the weaker one will be assimilated by the stronger one, and the Order Star God will be assimilated by the Harmony Star God.]

After hearing the system's explanation, Jiang Ming continued to ask impatiently.

"If that's what you said, the [Ultimate] Star God just told me that there is more than one law of the universe, and destroying the law of the universe is one of them."

"But if that's the case, then wouldn't the fate of the Star God of Destruction overlap with the concept of destroying the rules of the universe?"

"No, if you really want to say that..."

Jiang Ming suddenly realized something, his heartbeat began to speed up, and he was completely unable to suppress his inner excitement, and spoke to himself.

"You just said that star gods will also fall."

"① is to give up one's own destiny."

“②If concepts overlap, the weaker one will be assimilated by the stronger one.”

"③ He was probably killed directly, right?"

"And you just said that the [Ultimate] Star God has fallen."
