This endless world

"…What do you mean when you say the entire multiverse is about to be destroyed?"

Just like when Yi Qi told the news, Yang Yun's reaction was confusion at first, then turned into disbelief... and when Fuxi heard Nong tell the news, his reaction was almost exactly the same.

But compared to Yang Yun's distrust of Yi Qi, Fuxi's trust in Nong was much higher. After a brief moment of doubt, a solemn expression appeared on his face: "Did you see something the moment you became the emperor? Or was it that the moment your Shennong's Ruler of Heaven was sublimated into a treasure of acquired merit and virtue and connected with the entire multiverse, made you understand something that I didn't see--"

"No, actually, I had guessed about this a long time ago. Even the reason why I went to the four forbidden areas and stayed outside the prehistoric continent for such a long time was more or less related to it... As for what happened after I became the emperor, it just allowed me to truly verify my guess."

In the secret laboratory under the Human Emperor Palace, Nong Zheng was holding two scalpels made of pure green energy, treating the sleeping Nuwa. Even though he was doing a highly precise genetic surgery and talking to Fuxi about this earth-shattering secret, his fingers did not waver at all, as steady as a mountain.

Compared to her state 18,000 years ago, Nuwa has basically recovered her human appearance. Not only has the snake tail disappeared completely, but even the tiny scales under her skin have almost completely disappeared, leaving only a layer of light gray, which is invisible if you don't look closely... Even her true spirit, which was originally a small snake, has roughly recovered to a human state.

During these 18,000 years, Nong did not always travel outside the Great Desolation Continent. He would come back from time to time, not only to see his sister Tu, but also to treat Nuwa.

It was precisely because of Nong's efforts over the years that Nuwa's condition had improved greatly, and even the killing intent that would occasionally burst out in Fuxi's heart due to the ancient way was not so active. This allowed the brother who was the emperor of men and had no choice to come and see his sister from time to time... Even though he couldn't spend a long time with Nuwa, and couldn't rub his sister's head like he did a long time ago, it was much better than before.

However, just when everything was going in a good direction, Nong, who had achieved the Emperor level, suddenly announced this earth-shattering bad news...

"In the years since I left the Primordial Continent, I have experienced and seen a lot."

The turquoise light went out, ending the operation on Nuwa. Shennong, who sent her back into the incubator, folded his arms and said.

The fewer people knew about what he was going to say, the better. Compared to the grand but unpopular Human Emperor Palace, it would be more reassuring for Fuxi to see his sister's face here, so Nong did not shy away and said directly: "Since a long, long time ago... probably after the battle of creation, our multiverse has been slowly 'dying'."

"…Is it because Bright Gaia was refined into the Conferred God List?"

Fuxi naturally understood what Nong said. Since the creation of chaos and the birth of the multiverse, the entire universe has been like a huge Tai Chi, one positive and one negative, one prosperous and one declining, but they are two sides of the same coin.

To put it simply, the current multiverse is only the positive half, and as time goes by, the positive multiverse will gradually decline. At the same time, the negative universe will gradually rise and devour the positive multiverse; and when the negative multiverse reaches its peak, it will also decline from prosperity, and the entire multiverse will continue to cycle between growth and contraction, life and death. This is the so-called "principle of heaven", and it is also the underlying rule of the multiverse...

However, there is always a lack of warriors who believe that "my destiny is in my own hands, not in the hands of God". At the beginning of this cycle, when the positive multiverse was far from reaching its peak, an accident occurred, and that was the appearance of Gu and Jun, two inner universes. One of them wielded the Axe of Creation to smash Gaia, abruptly interrupting the cycle; the other did something even more extreme, and simply refined Gaia's corpse into the List of Gods at the cost of three-tenths of the Dao Solution, completely eliminating the underlying logic of this cycle...

As Gu's inner universe, Fuxi naturally knew the secrets that ordinary people could not know, which was why he asked this question. After all, no one knew where the future of this multiverse would go as a result of Gu Yujun's actions... Now from what Nong said, could it be that because of the complete death of Light Gaia, this multiverse was on the road to self-destruction?

“…No, that’s not what I meant.”

But what surprised Fuxi even more was that Nong actually sighed, shook his head and said: "The termination of the positive and negative cycles will not lead to the direct destruction of the multiverse, at least not so quickly, otherwise Gu Yujun would not have done that."

"What I want to say is that the multiverse we are in right now is sliding towards eternal 'annihilation'."

As he spoke, Nong tapped his fingers and sketched the end of one world after another in the void. These were the scenes he had personally seen during his travels in the multiverse over the years: "Some planes have lost their brilliance and fallen into eternal darkness. The four elements have all been annihilated. In order to continue the universe, the living beings there have to use themselves as firewood to keep the remaining sparks burning."

"In some planes, life and death are mixed up. All things are immortal, but they will still age, decay, and suffer. Even if the living beings there are decomposed into the four most basic elements, they still retain their consciousness and endure the eternal life of despair."

"In some planes, the ratio of the four elements has changed. 'Energy' has completely overwhelmed matter, causing all life forms in that plane to be distorted into extreme energy bodies. Each energy body has enough energy to destroy a planet, and the slightest contact will trigger a chain reaction. In some planes, time and space are completely confused, and the dreams of all living beings have become a breeding ground for indescribable things to grow. The extreme madness and sin have condensed into an evil god comparable to the witch clan..."

Thinking of the indescribable scenes he had seen, Nong sighed again and looked at Fuxi, whose expression was getting uglier and uglier. "The further away from the prehistoric continent you are, the more commonplace such scenes become. Fuxi, I think you should understand what is going on..."

"……I see."

Fuxi responded in an extremely solemn tone: "This is the rule of the multiverse..."

"It's starting to collapse gradually." (End of this chapter)
