Chapter 401 - 299: Harmonizer Remains, Absurd Worlds, Martial Arts Grandmaster Jiu Yue
["Moral Immortal Sect..."]
[Xuanming etched it into his heart that calling upon a presence beyond the universe requires "sacrifice," and the greater the presence, the more challenging its descent, necessitating higher-level "offerings."]
[Secondary existences, like the True Demon from the Abyssal Dimension, only require the sacrifice of millions of flesh.]
[As for Demon Venerables and Demon Emperors, they require the sacrifice of life planets or fixed star systems, with their powers suppressed by the Cosmic Will.]
[It's likely that only by sacrificing treasures like the "Primordial Gemstone" can the Daoists of the Moral Immortal Sect respond, but... now the Cosmic Rules are already collapsing.]
[Xuanming and Bai Ze exchanged glances, preparing offerings in advance, and at that moment, they could only pray that the Moral Immortal Sect would grant the universe a path to survival.]
[However, they did not know that the Moral Immortal Sect's Daoists only take in worlds with similar rules as "talent foundations."]
[Other rule worlds hold no value for their "cultivation system," and naturally, they would exhaust and drain resources.]
[They would extract all value, drawing out rules to refine Magical Treasures, devour matter, and cut True Spirits... all to nurture disciples capable of attainment.]
[Peeling, drawing tendons, extracting marrow—this entire process... naturally leads the world to destruction!]
["Cosmic Wonders are bizarre; among them, the Power of Rules defies common sense, completely illogical. At least fifty percent of what Profound Truth Demon Emperor Ling Xian stated is credible."]
[Bai Ze took out half of a jade pendant, a Cosmic Wonder connecting her to Phoenix Bai Xiao.]
[Cosmic Wonders are called wonders because they have two unique traits—first, they are indecipherable; second, they are irreplicable.]
[Thus, the function of each wonder is unique, and scholars and scientists from all high-level civilizations in the universe believe they contain "ultimate secrets," but years of research yield no results.]
[Wonders lie in their wonder—like "ignoring distance," an ordinary-looking jade pendant allows instant communication across billions of light years.]
[Besides the number of uses, there is no energy consumption, an utterly incredible fact.]
[If derived from "Primordial Gemstone" breaking foundational rules, all this makes sense. There is also reference in the universe with the Cosmic Network·Supreme once stepping into the Void Realm, possessing the trait of "ubiquity."]
[Cosmic Oddities? It's about superseding foundational rules with one's own rules?]
[A drop of cold sweat seeped from Bai Ze's forehead; she contemplated and easily grasped this information, her heart sinking—what are they, the wielders of "Primordial Gemstone"?]
["Xuanming, the Ashen Envoy... left a final message," Bai Ze suddenly spoke.]
["Xiao Ying... willing to become the World-Ending Great Demon?" Xuanming murmured softly.]
["If the Ashen Envoy truly existed, were all his traces artificially erased? Have everyone's minds in the universe faced a collapse once? Such a power affecting the entire universe?"]
[Bai Ze's mind was chaotic, points previously unclear and misunderstood now seemed connected by an invisible thread. If the Primordial Gemstone is the "Harmonizer Remains," along with the anomalies post-foundation collapse that Profound Truth Demon Emperor Ling Xian mentioned... all of this seems to point toward an eerie truth.]
[Cognitive dissonance, chaos in understanding.]
[Of course normal people think drinking water can quench thirst, but what if water is actually fire? Drinking water would lead to death.]
[Transmigrator Alliance's elder No. 7 slowly spoke: "In my hometown, there's a children's work with a tool that can alter cognitive thinking—If Phone Booth."]
["The protagonist uses 'If Phone Booth' to create a world where everyone is female, and I'm the only male—a bizarre worldview."]
["And also—if the foundational rule of the world is only to speak the truth."]
["One day, on a date with a girl, I praised 'tonight's moon is beautiful,' yet this world's foundational rule mandates only truth, causing the dark moonless night sky to rise a moon due to my 'truth'..."]
["If everyone's intelligence decreased by ten thousand times, I could solve 3+5 equals 8 in an instant, unravel math problems unsolved for billions of years, shocking the world, thus becoming the greatest mathematician in the universe..."]
["What if..."]
[Faced with such absurd worlds, everyone fell into silence, a suffocating oppressive feeling permeating the air.]
["—Primordial Gemstone is Harmonizer Remains."]
["—Once these remains come back to life, they would be tougher than an un-attained Demon Dragon."]
[Bai Ze's mind echoed with Profound Truth Demon Emperor's words, leading to a chilling sensation creeping from her spine to her head.]
["Employing the Power of Rules within the gemstone could revive the Harmonizer Remains?"]
[Bai Ze knew she stood at the brink of a massive mystery, where behind it, might lay a truth capable of overturning everything.]
[Bai Ze did not embark on an immediate attack on the Blood Lotus King Star but instead inquired the Radiant Flame King and Locust Calamity·Insect Emperor on the cosmic primordial era at the frontline.]
[Especially concerning matters of the Ashen Envoy, Box of Silence, Dragon of the End, Ancient Ruins, and World-Ending Great Demon.]
[Radiant Flame King shook his head, having evolved as a Radiant Life Form three billion years after the primordial era, lacking information, and even the universe's high-level civilization of Flame Cauldron Star Cluster had no records.]
["Perhaps the Ashen Envoy did indeed exist, but I'm sorry, I cannot interpret the genetic information from the primordial era."]
