Chapter 860 Chaos Creation
Above the Heavenly Gate, the boundary between the real world and chaos is blurred.
After hearing what Yuan Xu said, Yu Cang couldn't help but fall into shock.
The entry recorder...is it his own talent...
Moreover, he is not the only one. Yuanxu in front of him also possesses an "entry recorder"!
No, maybe his is not called an entry recorder, but has another name.
Yu Cangyou had heard from Xingchen that billions of years ago, the sixteenth ruler of the Nameless Empire was named "Huanzhou Eyutiannola".
It was this heroic lord who created the technology to produce and manipulate spirit particles.
Before him, the main ability of the Nameless Empire was to directly manipulate the insects to fight. It was after Huanzhou that the technology of the Nameless Empire began to advance rapidly.
Therefore, Huanzhou is the most important monarch of the Nameless Empire, and his name directly becomes the middle name of the royal family of the Nameless Empire.
Just like now, Stardust’s full name is “Stardust·Universe·Eyutiannola”.
But Xingchen also once said... In fact, according to unofficial historical records, when the spiritual technology was first improved on a large scale, the person who contributed the most was not Huanzhou himself, but his younger brother - Yuanxu in front of him!
At that time, Yuanxu's reputation was unparalleled, and his achievements in all aspects far surpassed his brother's. But for some reason, in the end, he did not choose to become the monarch of the Nameless Empire, but gave this position to Huanzhou.
Then, he threw himself directly into Chaos and no longer cared about the affairs of the Nameless Empire.
Hundreds of millions of years later, Huanzhou committed suicide out of boredom and became a celestial body. The Nameless Empire had a new king, and Yuanxu... stayed outside the chaos.
Before the outbreak of Huang, the Nameless Empire had also conducted some transactions with Yuanxu and Chaos Cloud based on this relationship, but due to the special nature of Chaos Cloud, it did not.
After all, such a long time has passed, and the relationship between Yuanxu and the Nameless Empire can no longer be considered close.
These were all interesting stories about the Nameless Empire that Xingchen shared with him. At the time, he just listened to them as stories. After all, they were unofficial history.
Xingchen said that Yuanxu's life experience seemed to be related to some secrets of the Nameless Empire, so there were no overly detailed records, only some hearsay information.
And now it seems...
Isn’t everything Yuanxu did very similar to himself?
Use your own strength to promote the progress of the entire civilization!
In the era of Yuanxu, the civilization of the Nameless Empire was still very immature, and the ruling generation had only been there for sixteen generations. It had not been that long at all... Even at that time, it was still unclear whether it had been chosen by the Imperial Star to become the "dominant civilization."
And at that time, even the entire star realm had just entered a new era not long ago.
At this time, the birth of super-model technology such as the spirit particle is quite unreasonable... Even if the basis of the spirit particle is the core "spying insect" of the civilization of the previous era, it is still the same!
Normally, this kind of technology would have to go through countless generations of iterations before it could be born, but Yuanxu relied almost entirely on itself.
Isn't this just like myself?
He used the entry recorder to promote the development of the entire soul card system, and Yuanxu was doing exactly the same thing.
Looking at the current situation and Yuanxu's confident expression, what he relies on is probably the imaginary palace behind him.
...Oh no.
Yu Cang was silent for a moment.
Then he raised his head and looked towards Yuanxu.
"You mean, that chaotic creation called the Imaginary Palace is your gift?"
"Can't you understand?"
Yuanxu didn't seem surprised.
He answered:
"Yu Cang, in your eyes, what is a Chaos Creation?"
Yu Cang: "...Is it an indigenous soul born in chaos?"
This is how he has always understood it.
And the chaotic creations he saw all fit this definition.
Most of the chaotic creatures don't have very good brains and are in a daze for a long time.
Even the strongest among them, the original creator of the astral realm, was not very smart.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been obsessed with an illusory mother for so long, and in the end, he wouldn't have had his real name deceived by Dixing.
Facing Cang's answer, Yuanxu seemed to smile.
"Really? Then, how do you define chaos?"
"Chaos is outside the starry sky..." Having said this, Yu Cang suddenly stopped.
Beyond the astral realm is naturally chaos.
He has always believed so.
This definition is also very appropriate.
However, this is defined from the perspective of a person in the astral realm.
What if we expand our perspective and look at it from a broader scale?
That almost infinite starry sky is just a corner of chaos.
It's just... the body of a chaotic creature born in the chaos...
In the past, in Yu Cang's cognition, those chaotic clouds were "expelled" into the chaos and shattered after the small world in the star realm was destroyed.
Because of this, Chaos Clouds are an extremely abundant resource. If you master Chaos Clouds, you can create something out of nothing... However, this perception is confusing cause and effect.
This is because all things in the star realm were originally created by chaotic clouds and mist, and only after their destruction can they turn back into chaotic clouds and mist.
From this perspective, perhaps the chaotic mist has never changed. From cloud to cloud, the form of all things in the astral realm in between is just a state of the chaotic mist.
Just as water sublimates into fog and fog falls back into water, fog is just a state of water and there is no essential difference.
From this perspective, the astral plane he lives in is itself... a part of chaos...
What do you mean by "chaos creations are natives born in chaos"? Isn't the astral plane chaos?
Previously, the reason why chaotic creations could not enter the astral plane was simply because of the malice of the world - that is, the will left over from the original.
At its core, this kind of will is just like the human "immune system", instinctively resisting all outsiders.
So, what Yuanxu meant was...
Yu Cang narrowed his eyes.
Are I, and Yuanxu, the chaotic creations born in the astral realm...
This made him look behind him at the huge chaotic creature guarding Xi Li's name.
According to this logic, it seems that this can also explain how that big guy came about.
Maybe Xili is a similar existence?
As if knowing what Yu Cang was thinking, Yuan Xu said:
"Don't look at him, he's different—he's just a guy named Dixing doing a poor imitation of me."
Yu Cang: "...Were you looking at Lan Xing at that time?"
"That's not the case. I've only been paying attention to Blue Star for about half a year. It's just that for me, many things are clear at a glance. Yu Cang, the same will be true for you."
Yu Cang calmed himself down.
Then he said, "So what you mean is... actually, we are all creatures of chaos?"
"Yes, and no." Yuanxu opened his hands and said, "Yu Cang, 'Chaos Creation' is the ability to move forward, and it is also the light that can be given to others. We have light, and we can use it to protect our kind. You have already met Ran Zhi. What do you think is the principle behind my secret method of immortality?"
Yu Cang: “…I don’t know.”
"Just as the Primordial created the primordial celestial bodies, so too did I create them—but, Yu Cang, I failed."
Having said this, Yuanxu paused.
His expression seemed to fluctuate. After a long silence, he said:
"When I was still in the Astral Realm, I had already discovered the existence of Huang and realized the essence of the primordial. So, after everything was ready, I took that step - I went to Chaos, there to complete my 'creation' as a creature of Chaos.
"I wanted to use this new world as a paradise to protect my kind, and lead them out of the cycle of eras, but... I took it too lightly.
"The demands of creation are too many and too comprehensive. Even if I try my best, I still can't make up for it. I thought I had prepared enough, but my talents limit my thinking."
Yuanxu let out a long sigh.
"So, I can only grant them this deformed immortality in the chaos, but I cannot give them the true reincarnation of life."
After hearing this, Yu Cang understood everything.
Yuanxu is a failed creator.
Just as he said, the imaginary palace behind him was grand, immortal, and vast. It could accommodate countless souls in the chaos and provide them with an anchor and sustenance for their lives - that is, the secret of immortality.
But, after all, it is not a truly complete world, it is just a defective product.
After shaping oneself with this immortal secret method, the emotions, desires, and everything else at that moment will be frozen forever. From then on, no matter how chaos dissipates, it will not diminish in the slightest.
But, it won’t increase by even a little bit.
The soul turned into a lifeless fragment... It seemed a bit like Tai Hina who was trapped in a loop.
In chaos, desire and obsession are necessary for survival, but if these are all there is, it is no different from death.
So...how did the soul come from?
In the beginning, a being so majestic that it was beyond words opened its eyes in the chaos and created a world at the same time.
Then, He divided His wisdom to form the original celestial bodies and living beings.
Wisdom and memory cannot exist in chaos. Only by wrapping oneself in the cloak of obsession can one enter chaos, but they will also be gradually eroded.
According to Yuanxu's theory, the original celestial bodies and living creatures created by the original are also a kind of "chaotic creation", but they do not have the "upward ability" and cannot protect their own kind.
While Yu Cang was thinking, Yuan Xu said:
"Yu Cang, I noticed you when you first opened a passage from the world of consciousness to the Primal Chaos. At that time, I thought you were just like me, but now it seems that your talent is even greater than mine. What I haven't accomplished, perhaps you can accomplish."
The starry sky vision is the original "memory".
Generally speaking, it will not border on chaos.
Because chaos will wear away memory. No matter how much the original misunderstands itself, it will definitely bury its memory deep in the deepest place away from chaos.
Anyone who can open a channel to chaos from the starry sky must be an exception among exceptions. Not only must they have sufficient understanding of chaos and the astral realm, they must also have received the original favor and permission.
The only person who can do this must be someone like Yuanxu.
However, at that time, he could only sense it and could not accurately locate Yu Cang, nor could he judge Yu Cang's level.
They could only send out other souls to search for Yu Cang in the chaos using a carpet-style method.
When Ran Zhi first met Yu Cang, Yuan Xu had already noticed Yu Cang's existence - after all, the relationship between Ran Zhi and Yuan Xu was the relationship between the original celestial body and the original, and they had a very deep binding relationship. Even if Ran Zhi wanted to hide it, there was no way to succeed.
When Ran Zhi saw Yu Cang, it was equivalent to Yuan Xu also seeing Yu Cang.
But at that time, Yuanxu did not act rashly.
He first hid in the dark and observed Cang with the help of Ran Zhi.
After all, he also knew that as a supreme being, if he appeared rashly, he would definitely scare Yu Cang. With Yu Cang's strength, it was too early for him to come into contact with a being like himself.
This sight really made him secretly shocked.
Yu Cang’s talent is terrifyingly good.
His Imaginary Palace looked as immature as a child in front of Yu Cang's entry recorder. At that moment, he knew that Yu Cang's upper limit was definitely far higher than his own, and perhaps, he could accomplish what he had not done.
It was only until now that he finally chose to come forward and meet Yu Cang.
Yu Cang: "...I have a question."
"you say."
"You...are also the 'Original Young Brother'?"
Hearing this, Yuan Xu was stunned.
Then, he laughed, "I kind of understand this title. However, I'm not—when I realized the existence of the Primordial One, I sought it out, but He didn't respond. Perhaps... my talent isn't enough for Him to acknowledge."
Yu Cang: "Is that so..."
He hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Then—why did you want to meet me today?"
Yuan Xu nodded gently, with no intention of hiding anything: "Of course I need a favor from you."
"...Do you want me to complete a creation?"
"Of course." Yuanxu paused, then continued, "Back then, there were many people who followed me out of the Star Realm, but now they can no longer withstand the erosion of time. Now, there is only one person left by my side, but even if it is just one person, I will be responsible for him.
"Creating the world wasn't without cost. I can no longer return to the Astral Realm, nor can I start over as a normal person. Therefore, I can only rely on those who come after me—you—to create a real world to accommodate us."
Yu Cang's eyes flashed: "Since you said that creating the world requires a price, how can you be sure that I will do it?"
In response, Yuanxu just smiled:
"Of course you will, because we are of the same kind—Yu Cang, will you disappoint the expectations of your kind and your people?"
Yu Cang: "..."
really.
He won't.
