Devouring World Dragon

Chapter 100 Traveling on Water
"1.1: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."

"1.2: The earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters."

"..."

—Genesis, Old Testament

……

In the infinite darkness there is no light, only endless water. But in this world without light, the water is also completely dark, as black as an abyss, without any ripples. So much so that it is more like a deep abyss that devours everything than water.

Above the water, there was only one indescribable entity suspended motionless.

It is difficult to describe; it is like light but not light, and no form or substance can be seen. It is even impossible to say whether it exists or not, because in this void where time and space have not yet been fully created, any understanding of space and time and the vocabulary derived from them will be inapplicable.

He may be in the past, or he may be in the future; he may exist in the present, or he may not exist in the present. He is vague and immeasurable. As long as he remains in this chaotic and uncertain state, everything remains uncertain and cannot be given a definite meaning.

Mathematics cannot describe it, logic cannot distinguish it; nothingness is existence, it is one, it is ten thousand, it is all, it is infinite. It is the original Alpha, and also the final Omega.

Or, to put it another way, the concept of "certainty" is formed based on the life consciousness of objective entities. For this existence that transcends the tangible and intangible, the material and the immaterial, and even the metaphysical and the physical, what humans are accustomed to is simply unnecessary for it.

In this state, time ceases to flow, and all subjective and objective considerations lose their meaning, because you have no way of knowing whether spacetime is still continuing or flowing backward. Anything is possible.

As the ethereal spirit gazes silently at the water below, it contemplates what kind of world it should create.

For Him, He is omniscient and omnipotent, knowing nothing and being capable of everything. The past, future, and present are all one, the only God, the supreme God, and the creator God. Creating the world is an easy thing for Him, but what kind of world He would create is something worth considering.

What kind of spacetime structure? What kind of causality? What should be used and what shouldn't be used?
Should it be a turtle carrying a turtle carrying a turtle carrying a turtle carrying a turtle... carrying the world? Or should it float in the void like a continent? Or perhaps it explodes into an endless ocean of stars during a violent expansion? Or maybe it stirs up the water beneath its body and gives birth to a world?
There are simply too many possibilities, and for an omniscient and omnipotent absolute god, He does not like to rush things.

After lingering on the water's surface for a long time, or perhaps only for a moment, this omniscient and omnipotent absolute deity finally made its choice.

He looked down at the water beneath him and began to slowly utter His commands.

"There must be..."

A vast and magnificent voice resounded in this chaotic world. With His voice, the water trembled. The entire dark world and the entire chaotic void listened to the command from the absolute god.

But just then...

"boom!!!!!!!"

Suddenly, the water began to boil, as if something incredibly vast was lurking beneath the abyss of darkness. Then, abruptly, an unimaginable, indescribable black mountain rose from the surface, and the mountain continued to rise, then ten, a hundred, a thousand...

Beneath countless dark mountain peaks, a vast continent gradually emerged, followed by something even larger and more magnificent beneath the continent... a gigantic head so enormous it defies description.

The mountains were merely its scales, the continents its head; its head was already immeasurably large, but compared to its enormous body, which was still far from surfacing and only vaguely discernible in the water, the size of its head was insignificant. Even when faced with this sudden appearance, the spirit floating on the water showed no surprise, only a slight confusion, followed by a sense of understanding.

"Hmm? It seems like I've stumbled into some really strange place."

The enormous monster exhaled heavy breaths, its deep voice echoing through this void of darkness.

Without up, down, left, right, front, back, past, future, or present, this extremely bizarre place made even the enormous monster feel very uncomfortable. Being in such a place was like forcibly stuffing a three-dimensional living person into a flat piece of paper, or even more eerie.

If this enormous monster hadn't already devoured a dying world, and thus was itself a world, capable of supporting its own concept of spacetime, it probably wouldn't have been able to stay here.

“Outsider, you are not my creation.”

Before it, the illusory spirit quietly uttered a sentence.

Upon hearing this, the enormous monster looked down at the spirit beneath it.

Before it, this absolute god appears as insignificant as a speck of dust. Of course, in this void without the concept of time and space, there is no concept of size. It is only because of the spacetime concept naturally formed by this enormous monster that the void world is affected to a certain extent. In essence, it is just a chaotic illusion, and in reality, there is no concept of size.

"what are you?"

In a deep voice, the ethereal spirit then answered calmly.

"Me? I am God, an omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipotent absolute God."

"Of course, if we're talking about your memories from when you were human... I should be called God, Yahweh, GOD... However, I'm not as insignificant as you've heard in myths and legends, because I am omnipotent."

Hearing the words spoken by the mysterious being beneath him, the snake's vertical pupils slowly contracted, revealing a dangerous aura.

The name God, so famous, was naturally familiar to this monster. Although it didn't care about God's existence, it was particularly concerned about the words God spoke.

"You have spied on my memories."

"Your sudden arrival made me want to know who you are, and then I learned everything about you."

The illusory spirit spoke quietly, and the great serpent could even vaguely see it smiling.

"A heartless beast... is quite interesting. However, the only thing that displeases me is that it knows everything that is going to happen before it has even created the world. It's really quite boring."

"It seems that we really need to reconsider how this world should be created."
