Chapter 686: Absolute Rule Object – "World Distorted Singularity"

Whether it is Dao Classics, caves, or Dao artifacts, they can only be considered at the level of rules and have methods to counter them. However, absolute rules are different.

The essence of absolute rules is a certain kind of absolute perfection that does not perish in the void; it is effective in any world or environment, and there is no hierarchical division, only the scope of authority. No matter how hard both sides try, they cannot erase each other.

From this phenomenon, World Gods are the embodiment of absolute perfection, while True Immortals are not, lacking an important component.

Of course, World Gods lack rationality, which is a fatal flaw in the eyes of humans, greater than the inability to be absolutely immortal. Thus, no one has ever wished to become a World God; they all choose to abandon this possibility in favor of wishing to preserve their rationality and become a True Immortal.

As a being of the same level as a True Immortal, this singularity undoubtedly exists beyond the three realms, outside of the five elements. What method could be used to control it?

“The absolute rule object, ‘World Distorted Singularity,’ has only one major difference from True Immortals and World Gods: it lacks initiative.”

“True Immortals possess will, World Gods have instincts, while the World Distorted Singularity is pure chaos with no purpose. Its very existence is to come and destroy everything; even destruction is merely a result, with no concept of its own.”

“It’s like when a storm brews, and the fisherman must face the roaring waves. The ocean storm simply exists without any self-will, passively harvesting lives; the singularity is the same. It just exists, continuously distorting the world’s laws…”

“Until the final collapse.”

If you ask Yun Ye whether he has any method to directly control the singularity, his answer would naturally be no.

True Immortals can communicate and interfere to a certain extent. Dao Classics can recognize their master and have their own inclinations; if conditions are met, their power can be wielded, whether by demons or humans.

But the singularity is wholly chaotic, incapable of dialogue or control. It can only be released for destruction without any precise manipulation. At least in this current stage, before becoming an immortal, that is how it is.

“I… have I not already died?”

“What happened? Did the distortion restore?”

“What a vivid dream! I dreamt of world destruction, everything shrouded in distortion, and humanity facing its end…”

“No, this is likely not a dream!”

Countless people revived in astonishment, feeling very confused.

Once they realized what was happening, the whole world erupted!

After the nine worlds merged into one, heaven and earth reopened, and the universe continued to accelerate. Stars reappeared, including the Distorted Planets.

Although the details varied, the Distorted Planets reached the World Line where Noah and others existed, the timeline was exactly the same as before the world destruction.

“Perhaps it succeeded.”

Yun Ye turned back, focusing his gaze on the singularity. His Spirit Sense surged forth, transforming into celestial locks, attempting to seal the singularity.

…

The distorted universe lacks a reincarnation mechanism. Originally, Opening Heaven and Earth should have led them to a completely new era, not something identical. However, Yun Ye guided this future, bringing them back.

This was done quite effortlessly and added to his experience with Opening Heaven and Earth. However, Yun Ye had no way of knowing if they were truly their past selves or similar existences with the same memories.

“What on earth happened? I remember the last second. I seemed to be caught up in something, and then I lost consciousness in a brief moment!”

Lana murmured, pressing her head, feeling some pain.

“It was Lin Kai! Lin Kai was controlled by someone; that person suddenly revealed himself at the end—an Asian man…”

The Young God recalled and then began to doubt her memory. “If I’m not mistaken, this man appeared to be surrounded by countless Divine Swords, each being more than just an empty shell of light, but finely crafted physical swords. He is from the novel, a Sword Immortal?”

“I remember too! He seemed to want to attack Noah, but in the next moment, I lost consciousness and don’t know what happened. Who is he to disregard Noah’s interference, as if he were some sort of higher being?” Lord Destroyer said.

“I believe he is indeed a being of high status, that man came from another world and wields power we absolutely cannot compete with.”

A voice suddenly interjected into the conversation, startling everyone, causing them to step back several paces as their magic power entered a state of readiness.

That voice belonged to Lin Kai; he was not dead, even though his physical body had turned to dust!

Lin Kai stood some distance away, raising his hands in a placating gesture. “Everyone, don’t worry. Although I don’t know what happened, I am no longer under control.”

“It’s really Lin Kai… the atmosphere has changed!”

Though the group was filled with many questions about how Lin Kai had come back to life, they still trusted him through some special sense.

The former Lin Kai had emitted a strong sense of disgust, completely without reason.

They could not understand the cause before, but seeing this Lin Kai now made everything clear.

It seemed like a special warning from the world!

Through this unreasonable disgust, the world was telling them who the true Lin Kai was.

Especially after their enemy revealed his true form, their feelings of aversion peaked, and they felt like they wanted to kill him immediately out of anger; this was clearly not normal!

“You all only felt this sensation for a brief moment, so your understanding isn’t deep enough. However, when I was under control, this feeling surged at all times. The reason is simple: the man who controlled me came from another world, and our world strongly repels him.”

“It’s likely not just us; any creature that sees his true form cannot help but want to kill him. Noah must also feel the same way.”

Lin Kai explained.

The group trembled. Yes, this man had seemed intent on attacking Noah, but now Noah was standing right here. Did he fail?

“Noah, what really happened in the end? Is that man alive or dead?” Lana asked.

They felt miserable, as they hadn’t seen the final battle. Perhaps in other stories, they might marvel at the battle process, but the battle of the practitioners of the Red Heaven was beyond mortal comprehension; it was simply too fast.

For them, it was accelerated a hundred thousand or even a million times. Whether the Divine Sword was unsheathed or the final explosion occurred, they could not perceive anything.

“… ”

Noah stood at the Equatorial Abyss, extending his hand as if observing something. Hearing Lana’s question brought him back to reality, and he said, somewhat dazed, “The distortion object seems to have disappeared.”

“What!?” The faces of several Witches nearby changed as they all looked at Young God.

The silver-haired young girl nodded somewhat calmly. “It has indeed disappeared. If I’m not mistaken, all distortion objects in the world should have vanished. The magic I controlled can no longer detect anything related to distortion; the world no longer needs my guidance.”

“The world needs your guidance? What does that mean?” The expressions of the others varied. In the past, they would have dismissed such remarks as superstitions, but after everything they had experienced, they realized that the world seemed to possess consciousness. There truly exists a ‘heavenly will.’

“The duty of the Young God is to guide humanity and lead new gods to ascend. This has been our mission since ancient times, and it is why we can stabilize the inheritance during the Starry Ice Age—the world assists us in suppressing the Starry Ice Age. But it’s still good; with the distortion object gone, S-class Mages remain S-class Mages, but the world no longer has threats.” Young God smiled.

The group wanted to say something, but the next moment, they all looked up at the sky. Countless rainbow lights appeared, seemingly enveloping the entire world.

Noah sensed something and smiled back at the rainbow light.

“Safe travels!”
