All Cause and Effect
Chapter 245 All Cause and Effect
Since entering the realm of cosmic life, Su Yuan has undoubtedly made rapid progress.
Compared to stellar life, the life essence of cosmic life is immeasurably superior, and comprehending its supreme rules is far easier.
This ease is not due to a lack of understanding or speed of thought.
Rather, it is the very essence of life itself.
In terms of comprehension and the speed of thought, Su Yuan was already equivalent to a cosmic life level after his Nine-Aperture Exquisite Holy Spirit Destruction Avatar entered its mature form.
Why did the Chaos Supreme Beings quickly comprehend the eight supreme rules, excluding the supreme rule of time, after successfully completing their ultimate leap?
It is also closely related to the essence of one's own life.
It's like a pond that's ten meters deep. If a human being who is only two meters tall wants to survive in this pond, they must learn how to swim.
Swimming skills vary in difficulty; some humans can learn them, while others cannot.
But for those who are supreme beings of chaos, their bodies are twenty meters tall and ten meters deep, and a pond only reaches their waists; they have no need to learn any swimming skills.
The swimming skills here are equivalent to the difficulty of comprehending the highest rules.
Of course, using a pond as a metaphor for the supreme rules is not appropriate, but there is some resemblance.
When the essence of life reaches a certain level, the so-called supreme rules do not need to be specifically understood.
Su Yuan's life essence is far from reaching the level of the Supreme Being, but elevating the life essence is also very beneficial for comprehending the Supreme Rules.
While the life essence of the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Holy Spirit's Destruction Avatar is indeed profound, the Destruction Holy Spirit can only comprehend the supreme rule of destruction; it cannot perceive the other supreme rules at all.
Therefore, after Su Yuan's human body officially entered the realm of cosmic life, the speed at which he comprehended the supreme rules not only did not decrease, but instead increased dramatically.
"The three supreme rules are ultimate yang, ultimate yin, and destruction. The first two are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining, and the goal is to integrate destruction into them."
Su Yuan raised his hands, his right hand intertwined with the aura of extreme yang and yin, while his left hand was filled with black destructive power. He slowly clasped his hands together, and the extreme yin and yang and destruction began to slowly merge.
"Three years later, the three supreme rules will be able to initially merge, and I will be able to reach the Great Sage realm."
Su Yuan thought to himself.
To ascend from saint to great saint, one needs to initially integrate the three supreme rules. However, the supreme rules are inherently independent, and forcibly integrating them to forge one's own path is extremely difficult.
Of the more than 100,000 cosmic saints in the human race, only a few hundred will be able to initially integrate the three supreme rules before their lifespan of hundreds of millions of years ends.
No human saint can guarantee that they can successfully integrate the three supreme rules and become a Great Saint within a certain number of years.
Who knows if they will encounter bottlenecks and be trapped for tens of millions of years until their lifespan ends?
However, Su Yuan could. From the gray mirror's answer, Su Yuan knew very well that, based on his current cultivation and comprehension speed, he could successfully and initially integrate the three supreme rules in three years.
"The initial integration with the supreme rules is just the beginning."
Su Yuan's gaze was deep and unfathomable, and with the clarity of the gray mirror, he had an extremely clear understanding of his future cultivation path.
The path to integrate the supreme rules is not limited to the initial integration, nor to the initial integration of the three supreme rules. This is the path that the supreme being of chaos must take.
The Supreme Beings of Chaos have comprehended the eight Supreme Rules in addition to the Supreme Rule of Time as if it were second nature. But what they want to do next is to integrate these eight Supreme Rules, to fully integrate them and even completely integrate them. This is what the Supreme Beings are doing.
"Of the nine supreme rules, the supreme rule of time is the most unique. Even the supreme beings cannot fully comprehend it; at most, they can only grasp a superficial understanding and master some techniques such as 'time stop'."
Su Yuan's brow twitched slightly, but he didn't continue thinking about it.
After reviewing the progress of the integration of the three supreme rules, Su Yuan turned his attention to comprehending the supreme rule of cause and effect.
With the help of the Book of Cause and Effect, a supreme treasure, Su Yuan's understanding of the supreme rules of cause and effect has reached 86%. In the entire universe, below the supreme beings, there are only eight Great Saints stronger than him in the way of cause and effect.
If Su Yuan were to use the Book of Cause and Effect, his methods in the Dao of Cause and Effect would be considered the strongest below the Supreme Being.
Splash!
Su Yuan's mind stirred slightly, and he opened the Book of Cause and Effect.
My mind was drawn into the boundless world within the book, a world woven with a vast web of cause and effect.
During this study of the Book of Cause and Effect, Su Yuan did not observe the beings who owed him cause and effect, but instead looked at the cause and effect he himself owed.
The first thing we see is the lack of a cause for the universe to give birth to us. Without the universe, Su Yuan would not exist at all. Every life in the universe is a cause for the universe to give birth to us.
However, the vast majority of lives do not need to be repaid, because their end is death.
They either die of old age or are killed; in short, they die.
Life is conceived as a cause, and death is the effect. From another perspective, death is also a way to repay the cause of conceived life.
Only when one reaches the level of a Great Sage, attempts the ultimate leap, transcends the universe, and exists eternally, does one need to confront the cause of the universe's creation.
For the Great Sages of the normal universe, the way to repay the cause of the universe's creation is to kill as many cultivators and evolvers as possible from the forbidden secret realm lineage, or to do things that are beneficial to the operation of the universe under the guidance of the universe's consciousness.
This method of repaying the cause of the universe's creation is the most common approach. It can only achieve the ultimate leap, during which the universe itself will not drag you down. As for whether you can successfully become a chaotic life form, that depends on yourself.
If the cause of the universe's creation is repaid by severely damaging or destroying a forbidden secret realm, then at the moment of the final leap, the universe will not only not drag it down, but will instead nourish it, making it easier to become a chaotic life form.
Su Yuan's gaze swept over the cause and effect between himself and the universe, and looked in other directions.
Since embarking on the path of cultivation, under the guidance of the gray mirror, Su Yuan has attached great importance to cause and effect. As a result, many lives or forces owe Su Yuan cause and effect along the way.
However, the life or power that Su Yuan owes in karma is extremely rare.
"Human race."
Su Yuan looked at the cause and effect between himself and the human race.
Although Su Yuan tries his best to avoid gaining benefits from the human race and thus bearing the consequences, his ability to cultivate peacefully to this day is still due to the protection of the human race.
Without the human race, Su Yuan would still have reached this level today, but it would certainly have been much more troublesome.
And in this process lies cause and effect.
"Given the karmic debt I owe to the human race, a hundred years of fighting on the battlefield for them will be enough to repay it."
Su Yuan thought to himself.
His karmic debt to the human race is not heavy, so he only needs to fight for a hundred years. Some great sages of the universe were raised by the human race from childhood, and their karmic debt is heavy. They need to fight for the human race for hundreds of thousands or millions of years before they can hope to repay it.
century?
The lifespan limit of life in the universe is one hundred million years; a hundred years is not even enough time to take a nap.
"A hundred years is too long."
Su Yuan shook his head slightly. He had only embarked on the path of cultivation for a few hundred years. A hundred years was like an instant in the eyes of other saints and great saints, but Su Yuan was too lazy to repay the karmic debt with the human race in this way. Repaying the karmic debt with the human race did not necessarily have to be done through conquest; it could be done through other means, as long as it benefited the human race.
"Then let's train the most powerful saint for the human race in the future."
Su Yuan thought to himself.
The so-called most powerful saint refers to the most powerful saint of the human race, who is generally a cosmic saint who has condensed a top-level saintly body.
Cultivating the most powerful saint for the human race is undoubtedly an act that benefits the human race and can repay the human race for the protection it has provided.
This method is both very difficult and very easy.
Even the three supreme beings of the human race could not guarantee that they could cultivate a cosmic saint who could condense a top-level holy body. The path of cultivation is full of unpredictable events. It can only be said that under the guidance of the supreme beings, the hope will be much greater.
But for Su Yuan, it was simple; he only needed to ask the gray mirror—
Within the current territories of the thirty-seven major human empires of the universe, it would be enough if any human who has not yet shown their talent could become the most powerful saint under his tutelage.
Su Yuan pondered in his heart, repeatedly asking questions through the gray mirror to confirm that this method would not waste his time at all. The so-called cultivation of the strongest saint was just a convenient action.
This is much simpler than fighting for humanity for a hundred years.
Of course, for the human race, having a Great Sage of the Universe who has condensed a top-level sacred body to govern the race would be an extremely good thing.
In the billions of years to come, the human race will be much more at ease in the face of numerous wars waged by other dominant races.
"Fan Yuxing, a citizen of the Qingyuan Universe Human Empire, was born on Hegu Star. He loved adventure from a young age. After becoming a celestial being at the age of one hundred, he used all his wealth to buy a superior spaceship, which he used to travel between the Qingyuan Universe Human Empire and the border star regions of alien races."
The best candidate suggested by the gray mirror flashed through Su Yuan's mind.
Fan Yuxing's parents and family all died in the war between the human race and the alien race. He has almost no relatives. His talent is terrifying, but it has not yet been awakened.
Fan Yuxing's talent does not come from his physical body or bloodline, but from his understanding of the supreme rules. With proper guidance, Fan Yuxing will comprehend the supreme rules of space in a short time and become a cosmic saint.
Unfortunately, according to the normal course of events, Fan Yuxing would not live to see the day his talent was awakened. In just half a day, he would die in the pursuit of the alien saints.
In fact, countless geniuses among the human race have died before their talents could be revealed. Through the gray mirror, Su Yuan even knew that in the vast history of humankind, there were sixteen human beings who, if nurtured, could become chaotic beings.
However, of these sixteen human beings, nine died in the planetary life stage and seven died in the interstellar life stage.
"The Nine-Aperture Exquisite Holy Spirit's Destruction Avatar has already arrived."
Su Yuan's gaze drifted in a distant direction, towards the direction of the Human Empire in the Qingyuan Universe.
The Qingyuan Universe Human Empire is a primary universe human empire among the thirty-seven major universe human empires of the human race.
There are thirteen alien forces bordering the Qingyuan Universe Human Empire, among which the Blood Clan has been at war with the Qingyuan Universe Human Empire for many years.
The intensity of the war between the two sides has remained high along their front lines.
Under a dark starry sky, a gray spaceship pierced through space in an instant and sped away into the distance.
Inside the spaceship, Fan Yuxing's face was pale, and he kept looking back.
"It's all over, it's really all over now."
Fan Yuxing's heart trembled.
He loved adventure since childhood, and after becoming a cosmic being, he spent all his savings to buy a fully equipped spaceship.
This spaceship possesses cutting-edge technology from the human empire of the Floating Pagoda Universe, capable of easily tearing through space. In terms of escape speed, even the most advanced stellar life forms might not be able to catch up.
This spaceship is the source of Fanyu Star's confidence in exploring various unknown star regions. With this spaceship, even if Fanyu Star is chased by a group of stellar life-level cosmic behemoths, it can retreat safely.
This is the power of human technology. Even though Fanyu Star is at the pinnacle of interstellar life, it was able to escape unscathed from being hunted by a group of stellar life forms thanks to its technological means.
Not long ago, when Fan Yuxing was exploring an unknown star field that had never been discovered before, he awakened a sleeping cosmic behemoth.
“Cosmic life, that giant star beast must be cosmic life.”
Fan Yuxing was thinking frantically. Even though he sensed something was wrong beforehand and managed to escape before the giant star beast awoke, he still felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, as if a faint killing intent was staring at him.
This overwhelming sense of oppression is something that celestial beings cannot provide.
Splash!
Just then, Fan Yuxing suddenly looked at the screen in front of him.
The scene on the screen was behind the spaceship. A colossal cosmic beast, tens of millions of miles in size and resembling a giant fish, appeared behind the spaceship in an instant, its massive tail swaying and swaying amidst the turbulent spatial fluctuations.
"Disturbing my sleep, you shall die."
The colossal star beast, spanning millions of miles, slowly opened its massive maw, descending upon the spaceship like an abyss.
Even though they were still a long distance apart, Fan Yuxing could still feel that his spaceship was being dragged backward uncontrollably.
"We cannot continue tearing through space."
Fan Yuxing tried to activate the spaceship's space-tearing function, but received a message that space was already sealed and could not be torn.
"I'm really going to die this time."
Fan Yuxing was utterly despondent.
Just then.
Fan Yuxing suddenly noticed a figure appearing in front of the spaceship at some unknown time.
The figure stood there quietly, emitting no aura, as if it had merged with the starry sky.
"Is it a passing celestial being? Or a stellar being?"
Fan Yuxing didn't know the other party's identity, but he felt that whether it was a cosmic life form or a stellar life form, facing the terrifying cosmic behemoth behind it, death was the only outcome.
"Hurry up, there are behemoths of cosmic life level behind us."
Fan Yuxing knew he was doomed, so he controlled the spaceship to send out a warning message, trying to tell the figure in front of him to run away quickly.
"Let's go?"
Su Yuan glanced at Fan Yuxing and could see the despair on his face even though they were separated by a spaceship.
hum~
From the perspective of the Brahma Star, all that could be seen was that the figure in front of them waved his hand lightly, and then the world seemed to turn upside down. When they recovered, the suction force behind them had disappeared, and the terrifying star beast that was tens of millions of miles long on the spaceship screen had also disappeared.
"This"
Fan Yuxing subconsciously looked towards the front of the spaceship.
The figure was still standing there, but unlike before, a small fish was now swimming rapidly at the tip of the figure's finger.
