Chapter 685: The Reverse Power of Annihilation

The existence that arrived from the future did not use the power beyond limits; it simply accelerated time, allowing results to emerge faster.

Amid the shifting winds and clouds, the world intertwined with distortion, resembling a double helix that stimulated each other.

As the sun rises and sets, the plane accelerates.

In just a second, several years passed in this entire plane, and time continued to speed up, gradually surpassing expectations, causing the entire galaxy to begin moving.

This was a truly magnificent sight, astonishing to behold, as the vast universe accelerated, resembling the growth of a human child.

The universe evolved, planets changed, and Yun Ye witnessed the demise of human society—resources depleted, technological stagnation, and terrifying magic dominating the world, leaving the lower classes with no means of resistance, leading to humanity’s extinction.

However, even without humanity, the universe continued to move on, racing towards heat death. There were still distorted singularities in the world, which Yun Ye could not control, continually eroding reality.

With the interference of these distorted singularities, the universe’s path to heat death became convoluted, facing various circumstances hindering its natural growth.

This interference gradually impacted other planes, leading to greater effects.

These planes often neighbor multiple worlds.

Distorted planets are a type found in the stellar universe.

The original source of distortion objects came from an ancient transcendent plane.

However, this plane suffered devastation earlier, and now it teeters on the brink of collapse.

There are nine neighboring worlds in the distorted plane; due to the long passage of time, distortion objects often coincidentally pierce through the plane’s wall, expanding the interference range.

This process is inevitable, and as all distortion objects converge into singularities, the distortion objects from other planes are also forcibly contained.

After accelerating for a period, the distorted singularity finally absorbed all the distortion objects from the nine planes.

If each world, despite having different rules, possesses its own logic, it can be simulated through the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth.

The distorted singularity, however, embodies pure chaos. Even the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth cannot approach this chaos, nor can it simulate or comprehend it.

Though the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth is profound, it is fundamentally ordered, something human practitioners can understand; all practitioners of the Red Heaven believe that the workings of the world can be explained through this power. Yet the existence of distorted singularities overturned this notion, revealing that incomprehensible rules of the universe exist!

Yun Ye watched all the changes, deeply involved, altering the details and direction.

He initially intended to forcibly complete the distorted singularity using the Nine Lives Spirit Law, reaching the height of "absolute rules," but his own power was insufficient. Even with the aid of three Spirit Senses of True Immortal magic, two Dao Classics, and one True Immortal body technique, he continually failed to reach the correct future.

Thus, he borrowed from the illumination of the future, hoping to strengthen his own methods through his future self. Unexpectedly, he gained an unexpected harvest.

Indeed,

His future self could not avoid encountering Tong Ming Qiong.

Compared to summoning his future self through his own power, directly leveraging existing true immortal force was evidently more reliable—at the very least, it wasn’t just a fleeting few seconds.

“Every world possesses absolute rules equivalent to true immortals, even surpassing them. It is just that the accumulation is insufficient to awaken them.”

“The possibilities contained in the distorted worlds represent the real possibility of absolute rules. While it cannot lead one to godhood or immortality, it can indeed nurture transcendent power.”

“Even if this transcendent power is not controllable, it can still overturn the Celestial Empire, for this power is not constrained by the limits of true immortal rules.”

“Do not underestimate those hidden existences, and do not underestimate the true immortals. The possibilities you can discover, they can too…”

The future Path Lord rang his bell staff, his figure gradually becoming ethereal as he moved away, with many more tasks ahead of him.

Yun Ye managed a nod, overwhelmed by the terrifying amount of information in front of him.

After the future Path Lord rang his staff, the nine planes seemed to immediately traverse trillions of years in an instant, accomplishing the four steps of collision, fusion, great explosion, and reopening of heaven and earth within a second. The nine planes converged into a vast single universe.

Simultaneously, a kind of terrifying existence was born; after undergoing collision, fusion, great explosion, and reopening of heaven and earth, the hidden absolute rules deep within the universe finally awakened. A pitch-black point fell in front of Yun Ye, radiating countless black lines that filled the universe.

“Wooooo!!!!!”

The universe cried out, resonating continuously. If true immortals represent the song of the Dao, celebrating the world’s prosperity, then the pitch-black point before him is the song of sorrow, signifying the universe’s descent into decay, its end, embodying the complete opposite of the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth—an annihilation force!

“This is truly… an annihilation force! The Great Annihilation is merely the normal transition of the universe; after the Great Annihilation, the universe will usher in rebirth! But the annihilation force is not—pure chaos and destruction, not targeting humans or anything else, but solely aimed at the world itself!”

“Undoubtedly, this thing has reached the level of absolute rules. Nothing can extinguish it; it is even more absolute than a true immortal!”

A grave look flashed in Yun Ye’s eyes.

The foundation stone of the immortal body of the indestructible true immortal is the "Heavenly Crown Artifact," completely relying on the innate heritage of the Red Heaven realm to accomplish absolute rules. Although its combat power is extraordinary and undaunted by regular World Gods, its inherent fatal flaw does not disappear; the true immortal body can be torn apart by World Gods!

If a world comparable to the Red Heaven realm exists—no, even if it is significantly weaker than the Red Heaven realm—if that world develops normally and nurtures a World God, its strength would be immense. Even if a true immortal held myriad techniques, it would be meaningless; they themselves represent the endpoint of laws.

They are the "world"!

These existences can defeat true immortals and devour them, while true immortals can do nothing against them; at most, they can only seal them permanently.

In the multiverse era, continual exploration of the external world yields countless possibilities.

Thousands of years are a mere blink of an eye for humanity; even if a potentially possible world is found, due to time constraints, it may not be attainable.

But true immortals fear not the passage of time, as they traverse it without the need for resources or such, their efficiency far exceeding that of the Celestial Empire. If they trade quantity for results, they might gain something.

Just one absolute rule object would be enough to overpower the Heavenly Dry Universe. No matter how much power the Heavenly Dry Universe accumulates, as long as it does not awaken absolute rules, it can never contend with absolute rule objects; this supreme perfection cannot be compared to quantity. At this moment, true immortals should have enough reason to explore the multiverse.

“It was already known that the future of Tong Ming Qiong has been doing such things… Did he destroy or delay possibilities?”

“Honestly, it’s a relief he isn’t an enemy; otherwise, it might take centuries to reach this point. With a level of foresight like this, even I can only remain still, waiting until my power is fully sufficient to act, even if the future is seen through.”

The future can only glimpse one World Line; any nonexistent outcomes cannot be seen, and there is a limit to the observation time. Before becoming an immortal, it is roughly five thousand or even ten thousand years…

Within that distance, as long as he has any intention, it will definitely be seen, then preemptively cut off.

Thus, he must not have any intentions to cause trouble within ten thousand years, hiding until he can deceive the future Path Lord.

For cultivators today, it’s very difficult to live for ten thousand years. Apart from Yun Ye, others need to lay out plans through generation after generation, which is nearly impractical.

The power of true immortals is on an entirely different level from that of ordinary beings, and the future Path Lord, who holds the rules of the future, is even more so.

“…”

Putting all these concerns aside, Yun Ye focused on the dark singularity, contemplating one question: how can he control such an ultimate treasure of absolute rules?
