Chapter 584
The Eternal Optimal
"Yuge, you've got what you wanted."
"Aichcator has completely disappeared from the existing timeline." In a space filled with countless bookshelves, a birdman followed behind a six-armed demon.
The demon's six different arms were all flipping through books that it had already thoroughly read and understood.
The six-handed demon did not turn around to look at Huang Minzhi.
He responded calmly with his thoughts: "These are inevitable. Their own demands will inevitably lead them to their destined end."
“Aichcator is arrogant and has a natural obsession with the integrity of the timeline itself. She is destined to have no place in Nehercator’s existence.”
"And Lu Cang once saved Neherkato, which must have left an indelible mark on Neherkato's heart..."
"All living beings in the world have a heart."
"They cannot escape worldly desires and are ultimately bound by them. All the current problems are caused by these people's own obsessions."
Huang Minzhi: "So you mean that only those who are without desires and wants will not be taken advantage of by you?"
Despite being a disciple of Yug, Huang Minzhi showed no respect for Yug in his words.
But Yug didn't seem to care, only letting out a faint laugh: "Hehehe, without desires or wants?"
"If such a person truly exists, what is the meaning of his existence in this world? What is the difference between him and a demon?"
Huang Minzhi: "You should already know the answers to these questions, right?"
"I know, of course I know the answer, the difference... but thinking is a pleasure, isn't it?"
"Once you have acquired all the knowledge, you will miss the process of exploring that knowledge."
Huang Minzhi: "You mean, you regret it now?"
Yug continued to chuckle, and slowly replied, "No, I haven't gained all the knowledge either; I'm still in the process of exploring."
"But once I have acquired all the knowledge, I will forget everything and start all over again."
……
[Second Timeline]
The once sunny and pleasant weather has completely disappeared. This is the timeline of the month that Lu Cang spent with Nehercato.
But Lu Cang was no longer there.
Lu Cang went back.
Nehercatto stayed here.
Those moons and gods that didn't exist in this timeline have all appeared out of thin air...
Even in Nehercato's mind, many memories that did not originally exist appeared.
As she said.
This timeline has always existed; Nehercateau was not born out of thin air, nor did this world appear out of thin air.
After contact with Ekhcator was severed.
The original form of this timeline has finally emerged...
It's as if the existence of Ehkator caused a world to be split into two lines from its very beginning.
One line is unique, while the other line is not unique.
From the very beginning of time, the two lines have already diverged, but time and space continue to move forward, and everything continues to happen as usual.
After Ehkator disappeared.
Nehercatto then returned to this spacetime of [uniqueness of existence].
He also became the only person in the world to have traveled through a time and space where uniqueness does not exist.
at the same time……
The connection between Nehercato and Lu Cang's timeline has been severed forever.
"Ha, he didn't even try to stop you."
In Neherkato's mind, Eichator's voice appeared.
"He must be a codebreaker."
"Actually, even if you hadn't told him, he should have already figured out all those rules about time that you taught him."
"He knew this was the last time he would see you."
"But he didn't stay with you."
Neherkato couldn't help but say, "How tragic."
Eichator's personality subtly overlaps with that of Neherkato.
"I am immortal."
"The only way you can kill me is to make me become you, but in reality... what's the difference between you and me?"
call!
Neherkato's gaze swept across the sky.
In this world, the powers of the moon are interfering with each other, and the laws of the entire world are running rampant, distorted by the penetration of the moon's power.
At this moment, Neherkato didn't want to care about anything.
A person hugs their knees; the great statue of time is a lonely and helpless little girl, sitting alone on a hill.
"No...you are not me."
“I will always be Neherkato. He has his own home, and this is not his home.”
"He shouldn't have stayed here in the first place."
"I only feel regret, but not pity."
……
[Present World]
Lu Cang had kept a wish hidden in his heart and had never told anyone.
Returning to this familiar land now feels incredibly strange.
Lu Cang walked on the sea, a murky and dark ocean. Walking on the sea was like walking on a sticky swamp, and he felt like he was about to be sucked in at any moment.
In just one short month, the world has undergone such a tremendous change.
This vast ocean...
Lu Cang's mind stirred—
Swish!
The Absolute Magic Sea instantly unfolded, spreading over a distance of several light-years in an instant, and expanding to a scale of millions of light-years after a brief ten seconds.
"This is the Abyss Sea of Naraku..."
"Beneath the sea lies the abyss."
Lu Cang's perception was as sharp as a drill, probing directly into the darkness, as if exploring the deepest abyss. On the other side, the sea of magic power spread all the way to the burning ocean!
call!
The magic sea ignited upon contact with the ocean, causing Lu Cang to feel a scorching heat!
It is [War and Fire of the Ba Ni].
wow-
On the other hand, upon sensing an ocean of light, the Absolute Magic Sea simply transformed into light upon touching that light, no longer under its control.
It is also the power of the moon.
It is [Zhuya of Light and Day]
At the same time, Lu Cang's senses re-examined the source, and the element in his hand reappeared. The details of the element were crystal clear in Lu Cang's eyes.
The way the word "root cause" is expressed is truly different from before.
A ball of flame formed in Lu Cang's hand, and this flame was no longer a flickering shape, but a perfectly round flame like a bright jewel.
"Is it not finished yet...?"
call!
Lu Cang traversed the phase space and arrived at the Tree at the center of the world.
The tree roots were hanging upside down, reaching into the sky, while the huge trunk and crown were submerged in the sea.
There is no darkness or light here; the army of flames is fighting against the unseen.
To the east of here, there is a sky full of dazzling, colorful light, and countless visible spiritual beings are flying in the sky. Above the dazzling, colorful light is a deep, dark black hole.
Even without looking, one can feel the intense deathly aura emanating from it.
That was the underworld, and the Tree of Wisdom was connected to it.
As Kumiloni said, she opened a gateway to the underworld and replanted the Tree of Wisdom...
Unexpectedly, it had only been a month since we last met.
This world has become so chaotic that I can't even understand it anymore.
One more thought.
Lu Cang's perception was triggered again, and through the "Hidden Origin," he sensed all the people he had ever come into contact with who were connected to him.
Yuna is still alive.
But her location... is in Yog's divine realm.
How come Mo Cheng is also in Yog's divine kingdom?
Soon, one of Lu Cang's senses touched upon Huang Minzhi's existence. Although Lu Cang and Huang Minzhi's relationship was not very deep, Huang Minzhi was someone Lu Cang had come into contact with.
And this touch.
At the same time, another message was sent back, seemingly triggered passively.
"If you come back."
"Don't forget that there is a balance effect in this world, and this is the phase coordinate of the last pillar of balance."
The coordinates of a phase were generated in Lu Cang's mind.
……
The Kingdom of Knowledge and Wisdom
Huang Minzhi remained by Yuge's side.
"Yuge, aren't you afraid they'll actually kill you if you use these people like this?"
"These moons are all beings of the same level as you, right?"
"But your combat strength is probably inferior to theirs, isn't it?"
As Yuge strolled through the corridor, he helped Huang Minzhi resolve his doubts.
It replied, "Yes, if we only consider strength, I might not be able to defeat any of the other moons."
"But why are they my enemies?"
"True wisdom lies in finding your own advantage when everything is in its optimal state."
“As long as they gain nothing from killing me, no one will want to kill me… and I happen to know best how to achieve such a balance.”
Yug's six hands point at each other.
The subtle rhythm seems to hint at a rhythm of balance.
At the same time, his gaze is fixed on the world.
He saw a mass of darkness, which Yug didn't know what it was, but he named it "Lu Cang".
A long list was filled with records and hints about the dark figure of [Lu Cang].
Yug discovered it.
Some of the records of this pitch-black darkness cannot be recorded in reality in any way.
Some traces of its records will also be erased by special laws.
However, the moon is associated with knowledge and wisdom.
It reveled in this phenomenon, repeatedly searching for and summarizing patterns, eventually finding the complete rules of its laws, and also finding a way to "skirt" the edge of the record being erased.
This pitch-black, unobservable mass.
Shortly after obtaining the phase coordinates, it appeared at the position of the phase coordinates.
And here, gods surround you on all sides.
"That's right... this is his optimal solution."
"Minzhi, you say I'm scheming, but that's not the case at all."
"I simply told a confused person the optimal solution for him right now, and that's the most important thing he should do after receiving my knowledge."
"Every step is optimal, the best."
"What I offer are gifts, help, and friendship... So what reason is there to be my enemy?"
……
[Twin Nest]
clatter--
Lu Cang walked on the damp moss-covered ground, surrounded by heavy divine power that subtly pressed down on his body.
Deciphering the philosophical questions surrounding the scholar's profession, the answer provided aligns with Yug's suggestions.
We cannot wait until the balance is restored and changes before breaking it.
But at the same time, Lu Cang was also holding back a fire in his heart.
I feel like my schedule has been planned out ever since I met Huang Minzhi... It's the same when I met Ehkator, and it's the same when I dealt with Ehkator. Yug's shadow is always there from beginning to end.
However, no matter how much he thought about it, the hint given by Yug was the optimal solution he should choose.
It's as if there's no other way.
It's a feeling of... complete displeasure and anger.
Ding!
Suddenly, everything around him turned into chaos!
A divine law is influencing him, but before it takes shape... it is materialized by "invulnerability to all laws".
Lu Cang grabbed the materialized law.
Looking up at a creature whose body resembled a tree trunk split in two, the creature felt a chilling fear in its eyes as it looked at Lu Cang.
What is this fear?
He was clearly a god, second only to Yuechen in existence.
After cooperating with the lair, he even reshaped his twin body, making his strength comparable to his peak within the lair! But why does this person instill such fear in him?
"Phew...that's fine too."
"I also want to test just how powerful you ordinary gods are, aside from Ehkator." (End of Chapter)
