Starry Sky Railway: No one understands the Amber King better than me.

I say, this place has returned to chaos, its fate uncertain.

This is a law, a force beyond the realm of intellect that Kakamu usually deals with.

As the decree fell, Kakamu's figure suddenly swayed, and the cognitive filter on her face flickered continuously. In this omniscient domain, probability began to become disordered.

In the blink of an eye, everything known is changing towards the unknown. Cause and effect, spacetime, constants—everything is changing, becoming unknowable and unpredictable.

As the Omniscient Domain transformed, a grayish-white mist representing the unknowable instantly appeared within the domain.

The mist surged towards Kakamu, threatening to engulf this genius.

The Silent Lord vanished, only to reappear on a distant star.

But the fog ignored the distance and continued to pursue the cause and effect.

Seeing this, Polka raised her arm slightly, and a chilling glint flashed between her slender fingers, revealing a scalpel in her hand.

This scalpel has ended the lives of countless geniuses, and even the great feat of Emperor Rupert, who burned the universe.

Now, she is about to thrust it out again, delivering the most terrifying and predetermined blow to her enemy.

In an instant, the cold light vanished, and something snapped in two.

Kakamu's figure vanished without a trace, and no one knew where she went.

This genius, a being standing at the pinnacle of intellect, chose to flee after severing the causal chain that Lin Yuan had established with him, having exhausted all his efforts.

.......

"The Silent Lord is nothing special."

Sensing the movement, Lin Yuan smiled slightly and turned his attention back to his original plan, which had once again proven his correctness.

But just as he regained most of his attention, a dazzling light suddenly shone!

Lin Yuan's Calamity Sun—the foundation of his power, the manifestation of the system's power, his greatest reliance, and the most dazzling pearl on the crown of the crowned one—exploded in an instant!

An overwhelming shockwave, accompanied by the transmission of light, caused everything to tremble violently.

"What have you done? You're courting death!"

The divine voice shook heaven and earth, yet it could not stop this moment from happening.

Compared to the previous minor skirmishes, the power of this Sunfall was so great that it even caused the entire body of the crowned one to tremble, the boundless mist to surge endlessly, and the coronation process to be abruptly interrupted.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Yuan endured the pain of the shattered Sun and the mental exhaustion, and began to compete for the power of the crowned one.

Two-tenths, three-tenths, four-tenths.

When the count was nearly halfway complete, the divinity reacted. Its immense power instantly suppressed and stabilized the crowned one's body, and in a mere instant, it reclaimed a significant portion of Lin Yuan's authority.

"Supernatural powers—life is not easily gained!"

With a cold shout tinged with pain, Lin Yuan instantly activated his supernatural power.

Even if the Sun Destruction shatters, as the foundation of existence, the opponent cannot stop him at all!

Lin Yuan forcibly projected his condition as if it were at its peak, and the same was true of his authority as the crowned one.

Now, at the cost of that high-hanging sun, he has forcibly created a situation where the odds are close to 40/60.

Was it all worth it?

The divine voice turned cold.

"You know you can't maintain this state for long. After the sun explodes, you won't be able to make up for the lost power, and you will perish here."

Lin Yuan did not answer him, but coldly asked in return:

"Now I finally know where your coronation power comes from. You have connected with the mysterious path of destiny, and the mysteries have opened up infinite energy of destiny for you. Am I right?"

"So what?"

"To be crowned by His power is not your own power at all; you are merely becoming His puppet!"

"Ha, you can speak to me clearly now, isn't it because Cripper is watching you? What right do you have to criticize me? You should know that only gods can fight against gods, and this is the necessary price!"

The divine being uttered words indifferently. His power still prevailed, and the coronation process continued once more.

The other side had run out of bargaining chips.

"Why continue? Your past has no memory to reflect upon, like a dream bubble that will burst in an instant."

Your future is uncertain, like a rootless duckweed. With no past and no future, what do you have left?

If you fail, you will vanish completely from this universe, leaving nothing behind; no one will remember you. Only by being crowned can you truly exist!

The divine voice was calm, as if narrating a predetermined ending.

"That's enough. I have one last chip..."

Lin Yuan chuckled softly, interrupting the other party.

"Even without a past or a future, I still have the present. I will put my life into the chamber of a gun and see who can stand to the end."

Life is precious and time is running out; Lin Yuan's life is also on its last countdown.

But his face showed no fear, no hesitation, no compromise, no bewilderment. Only a calm composure, and beneath that composure lay a deep-seated madness.

I'd rather die than fail.

Seeing this, a rare hint of emotion appeared on his divine face, and he gave Lin Yuan a deep look:

"If you want to prove you're right, then try to defeat me. Man or God, only the one who survives is right."

..........

Chapter 339 A Battle of Gods: Who is the Pawn, and Who is the Player?

A 40/60 split—this seemingly similar ratio—actually acted as an insurmountable chasm, separating Lin Yuan from his destined downfall.

He'd played all his cards and was out of chips. But this was the best outcome Lin Yuan could hope for after putting himself at the table.

"Human courage is comparable to divinity, which is truly awe-inspiring."

The divine calm spoke.

"But survival is the first problem. Excessive courage is arrogance. In the face of absolute power, weakness is not the enemy of survival, but arrogance is."

His mind turned to Lin Yuan, who was deep in thought with his eyes closed.

"If one cannot survive, nothing else matters. Only by possessing the power to fight against God can one accomplish the great task of protecting the world."

And you... blindly staked your life on a game you were destined to lose, which is irresponsible not only to yourself but also to the world you wanted to protect.

Why have you become so talkative?

Lin Yuan slightly opened his eyes.

"No matter how much you talk, it's better to see the results with your hands. Whoever wins is right. That's the simplest way."

"I'm just a little disappointed." The divine being said no more.

"But...as you wish."

The boundless fog fell silent.

When words failed to sway their respective beliefs, the place transformed into the most terrifying and horrific battlefield.

Two consciousnesses were locked in a fierce battle at the level of consciousness, vying for control of the crowned one, as if trying to tear this body apart completely, and as if trying to shatter the fate of all living beings and the entire universe.

"On the chessboard, there is no turning back."

A voice floated out, then was swallowed up by the relentless conquest.

..........

Outside the Asdna system, apart from the powerful forces and the big shots standing at the top of the galaxy, all other beings are still living as usual. No one knows that their fates have been placed on the two sides of the scale of victory and defeat.

In the vast expanse of space, a spaceship hovers quietly.

The woman in purple stood before the viewing window, gazing into the distance, a rare look of worry on her face.

A black cat strolled over to her boots and stopped beside her; a quiet, subtle conversation was taking place there.

"Neither Firefly nor Silver Wolf have sent any news. Elio, what does this scene represent in your script?"

After a brief silence, another voice rang out.

"I see a hazy scene, with no future and no direction. I see a chessboard, and you and I are all pieces on it, but there are few who play the pieces and few who watch."

The black cat raised its head: "I see them all mocking me; I am a slave to fate."

Kafka took a deep breath and murmured, "Will they win? And what can we do?"

"The only thing to do is wait." A human-like quality appeared on the black cat's face, its eyes flickering with an indescribable emotion.

"In my eyes, time flows along the direction of decreasing entropy. All paths, whether they are cause and effect or cause and effect, have a complete trajectory. But now, two paths have appeared out of nowhere."

"What is it?" Kaffa lowered her eyes.

"The first path I saw was a completely new ending, leading to the end of the universe. It was not far away, but very close at hand."

The black cat arched its back, its fur standing on end, as if it had been greatly frightened by the observation. After a slight hiss, the black cat slowly uttered:

"There is another path, perhaps worse, perhaps better, but no one knows. Perhaps even the gods want to know the answer."

The sound faded, leaving only silence. The figures of a cat and a person stood silently, like silhouettes in a black painting.

..........

God loves the world, but each person loves in their own way.

The crowned one's hands are raised high, and the laurel wreath belonging to the new legislator of this universe is about to fall.

Meanwhile, in the battle of consciousness, the situation remained fiercely contested. In essence, there was no difference between the two sides.

The same extraordinary will, the same unwavering persistence, the same relentless fighting spirit.

The scales of victory were constantly being tipped back and forth, but the one that fell to the side was still divinity.

"Are you stalling for time, waiting for variables to change? Unfortunately, the star gods who were going to place their bets have already done so. The rest of the game can only be played by us. They won't start a divine war here. Your time is running out."

The divine voice rang out once more.

"Without the influence of external forces, the weights on both sides of the scale are already predetermined. I possess the will of all beings and the inexhaustible power from the mysterious destiny."
