Gu Changqing's action of raising the [Scepter of Samsara] was like lighting a tiny candle in the absolute nothingness.
However, it was this candlelight that allowed those "Transcendents" who represented "the end", "nothingness" and "paradox" to stop their pure "conceptual erasure" for the first time.
A more grand, yet equally cold will surged like a tide.
This is not an attack.
It’s a kind of “notification”.
"An anomaly."
The dark figure representing "the end" made a conceptual sound for the first time, which sounded directly in the depths of Gu Changqing's true soul.
"Do you know what [Eternal Reincarnation] is?"
The voice was emotionless, as if stating an established, irrefutable axiom.
Without waiting for Gu Changqing to respond, the figure representing "nothingness" took over the right to speak.
"The so-called universe, the so-called heavens and myriad worlds, is nothing but a grand experiment."
"The purpose is to evolve a new life form that can resist ultimate 'decay'."
“Every reincarnation is a screening and reshaping.”
"We are the executors and guardians of this experiment."
Their wills intertwined together, presenting Gu Changqing with an extremely magnificent picture.
In the painting, outside the universe, there exists an indescribable terrifying concept called "decay", which is slowly and steadily eroding all "existence".
And [Eternal Reincarnation] is a great plan created to fight against this "corruption".
Every catastrophe is a harvest of the old, flawed universe, extracting its essence and investing it into the next "creation".
It repeats itself over and over again.
Just to give birth to that perfect ultimate existence that can resist "decay" forever.
"You, Gu Changqing."
The figure composed of countless contradictions and paradoxes had the most bizarre will, like countless sharp knives trying to dissect Gu Changqing's thoughts.
"You were one of the most promising 'seeds' of this era. Your growth has exceeded all our expectations."
"But your 'system', that alien entity that doesn't belong to this cosmic cycle, has disrupted the balance."
"It is not a product of evolution, but a 'variable', a 'mistake' that is enough to make the entire experiment completely out of control."
"It makes you too powerful, so powerful that you are no longer a test subject, but... a new kind of 'decay'."
"So, you must be corrected."
"Your existence, along with the source of your error, will be completely disintegrated, becoming the purest building blocks of the new universe."
"This is your destiny, and also your...highest honor."
These words contain a terrifying "conceptual induction".
They are giving Gu Changqing a "great" meaning in his death, trying to shake his faith in Taoism from the root and make him accept his fate of being "reshaped".
After all, sacrificing for the existence of the entire universe sounds so grand and so...right.
If it were any other living being, even those immortals before, upon learning this "truth", their Dao hearts would probably collapse instantly.
Either fall into despair, or self-destruct in that grand sense of "mission".
However.
After hearing all this, Gu Changqing's face did not show the slightest emotion.
He just listened quietly.
There wasn't even a trace of emotion in those deep eyes.
Until the will of the Transcendents was expressed, this realm of concepts fell into silence again.
Gu Changqing finally responded.
He smiled.
The corners of his mouth slowly curled up into an arc full of mockery and playfulness.
"Oh."
A light laugh, in this void where even the concept of "sound" was almost erased, seemed exceptionally clear and also exceptionally harsh.
"Are you done?"
He raised his eyes and calmly swept his gaze over the terrifying figures, as if he was watching a few clowns performing hard.
"Invent a grand excuse to cover up your incompetence and fear."
"Is this what is called the Transcendent?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the originally calm ocean of concepts around them instantly became turbulent!
The conceptualized bodies of those supreme [Transcendants] all showed a hint of unstable distortion!
They can't understand.
Why did this "oddity" not collapse after learning the ultimate truth, but instead... laughed at them?
"lie?"
The will representing "the end" took on a hint of coldness for the first time.
"You ignorant person, you don't understand the horror of 'decay' at all!"
"This is not a lie, but..."
"That's enough."
Gu Changqing interrupted it directly. His voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable and absolute arrogance.
"Put aside your high-sounding rhetoric. It only makes me feel sick."
He took a step forward, and the [Eternal Altar] beneath his feet shone brightly, completely dispelling the conceptual pressure of the [Transcendents].
"Reshape the universe? Create a higher level of life?"
Gu Changqing's eyes were full of contempt.
"In the final analysis, you are merely treating all living things as livestock in your testing grounds, and the cosmic epochs that pass through time and again as wheat fields to be harvested."
"The so-called fight against 'corruption' is nothing more than a self-deceiving excuse you have concocted to comfort yourselves and make your 'harvesting' behavior appear more noble."
