Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens.

Chapter 592 The True "One Who Unifies All Things"

Sera's gaze, a mixture of resentment and astonishment, was interrupted by death.

Fairies are immortal beings; they are reborn quickly. But clearly, whether they live or die, they can no longer affect the outcome in the slightest.

The era of this former "Lord of the Garden of Shadows" has passed. No matter how self-righteous and arrogant He is, believing that He has arranged everything and can write a drama of deceiving others to regain power and stage revenge, it will be of no use.

"Why are you here?!"

Although the person before him had changed in appearance and physique, He still easily recognized the youth who, apart from his outward appearance, was completely the same inside and out.

With a final, unwilling cry, He vanished into the void.

"Tsk tsk, whether I show up here or not, you have no chance of succeeding."

Luke calmly watched the magical fairy's despair and resentment until the fairy's resentment of "being just one step away" dissipated. Only then did he slowly take the "stage device" Gran Gunel into his body and digest its authority and status.

"Aren't you going to kill Sera?"

A teasing voice came from behind him, a mix of chuckle and mockery, tinged with curiosity and a desire to explore. Lu Ke slowly turned around and saw that it was Wang Lang who had spoken.

I don't know whether I should continue to call him Wang Lang.

"His previous name was Liev, a companion of Prell/Green, and before that, the goddess Mary Sue, the master of this miniature world. His nature is deception, betrayal, and the highest degree of evil... He will bring suffering as long as he lives. You really don't want to kill him?"

A crimson glow emanated from Lu Ke, corroding the Winter Kingdom that had lost its ruler. He looked at Wang Lang and spoke in a relaxed tone, a slight smile playing on his lips.

“You are worse than Him than He is, and it is torture to let this green worm live and watch its little garden be taken away, and to become the lowest and weakest fairy again.”

The "Wang Lang" in front of him was exactly what he meant by what he just said. Even if he wasn't here, Sera would never have succeeded. There was more than one "mantis," and even more than one "oriole."

"Hmm...that makes sense, but weren't you just cursing me with a bright smile on your face?" Wang Lang frowned, looking over as if he was very displeased.

Lu Ke smiled slightly and met his gaze. "Should I call you 'Wang Lang' or '0-7-1'?"

"Ah, you know..."

Wang Lang tilted his head and leaned forward a short distance, stretching his neck and exuding an inhuman aura, with an eerie and sinister presence.

Luke suddenly held a horn in his hand, a huge, golden horn, the "0-7" Doomsday Horn!
"I knew it when I got the 'Doomsday Horn'. All the causal connections couldn't be hidden from me, including yours."

Each time the "Doomsday Horn" is sounded, a "Three Pillar God" will be summoned. Because of the "World Barrier", the "Three Pillar God" cannot descend directly, but at least they will infiltrate it and have the conditions to appear.

“0-7-3”是“万物归一者”，“0-7-2”是“孕育亿万子孙的森之黑山羊”，“0-7-1”就是眼前的“王朗”。

Or rather, another name for Him.

Nyarlathotep, one of the Three Pillars, is known as "Chaos in Disguise," "God of a Thousand Faces," "Messenger of the Outer Gods," and "Father of a Million Favored Ones." He is the most active of the Three Pillars, the one who enjoys playing with, fooling, and observing humans, and who influences the course of the times.

To use a human analogy, He is the kind of guy who would be so bored as to divide an anthill into thousands of parts, adjust various variables, and observe the ants' movement patterns.

Just as the "Mother of Abundance" is composed of the "Son of Abundance," the "Black Goat's Cub," and "Atlas," the "Man-Faced God" also has its own three components.

Wang Lang, who remains untainted by his status, symbolizes Nyarlathotep's "ultimate inscription" of his obsession with games, and the "story editor" that travels to countless planes, manipulating and playing with fate.

The last part wasn't originally so gentle. It was the organization of the sealed artifacts, which wasn't yet the "Story Editing Department," that created one interesting story after another, luring that part into an inkjet typewriter and using all sorts of interesting stories to lull it to sleep. That's how the "0-2" story editing machine came about, and it was at that time that the name of the sealed artifact organization was fixed as the "Story Editing Department."

It is precisely because of the need to constantly appease this "god with a thousand faces" that the "story editing department" needs to compile all sorts of interesting stories. And it is precisely because of the contamination by the "creeping chaos" that the workers there have become amusement-seekers, their faces turning into distorted chaos that they need to cover up with masks.

That's why "Wang Lang" was chosen as the "protagonist" by the "story editing machine".

They are one, and they are naturally attracted to each other.

"It's a real pity. If you hadn't come, 'Wang Lang' could have unleashed his power because of his father's death, achieved an impossible miracle, defeated Sera, seized the power of Gulan Gunel, and become the 'protagonist' who reversed the ending and saved the world."

Naya let out a deep sigh, seemingly genuinely regretful.

"Such stories are too cliché and have no market anymore."

Lu Ke smiled and shook his head, a slight upturn at the corner of his mouth. "I think that for the sake of making the 'story' more exciting, having the villain win or the protagonist die, or changing the perspective, is also a good option."

"Well……"

Nyarlathotep looked thoughtful, and then actually nodded. “That does sound quite interesting. This line of thinking is also good. No wonder he is the ultimate abyss that transcends dimensions and knows the past, present, and future, the great ‘One Who Knows All Things,’ Yog Sothoth.”

Lu Ke's smile deepened slightly, his voice neither warm nor cold.

“I am indeed the ‘One Who Resolves All Things,’ but… when did I become Yog Sothoth?”

"what?"

Nyarlathotep was clearly taken aback. "If you're not Yog-Sothoth, then who are you?"

“I am Luke, and I have always been Luke.”

Luke placed his hand on his heart, smiled, and said his name, then pointed to his side.

“He is the ‘Yog-Sothoth’.”

Naya followed the gaze and saw that a figure had appeared there, standing stiffly and quietly watching the two of them.

He let out a low, ambiguous laugh and took the initiative to greet him.

"This is really... I mistook you for someone else? It was you all along..."

He called out the name of the figure in a mocking, chanting tone.

"Brother Xue."

Xue Pengkai did not respond. His gaze was mainly focused on Luke, with only a tiny bit of attention spared for Nyarlathotep.

Yog-Sothoth, "Key to the Gate," "One Who Remains in All Things," "One Who Holds the Door," "One Who Dwells in the Doorway," "The One Who Transcends," "Ramashaghuva." He is a being composed of infinite existence and self, existing outside the entire spacetime continuum, and is the ultimate source that gives life to all things, that is, "One Who Remains in All Things and Gives Birth to All Things." Even among the three pillar gods, his status still subtly surpasses that of the other two.

“It’s normal for you to make a mistake. Luke and I do share the same symbols and authority. The ‘0-7-3’ was originally the ritual that was supposed to summon me, but because of the same symbols and authority, Luke took my place.”

Yog-Sothoth answered calmly, his eyes filled with a divine sublimity and profundity.

"Fortunately, thanks to my 'identity' that is the same as his, I managed to sneak in. This is also why Xue Pengkai was in charge of '0-7-3' last time, and why he brought Lu Ke to 'Future Technology' this time. Our origins are similar, and we will attract each other in the dark."

Yog-Sothoth's voice has a magical quality that makes it hard to put down, as if it can dissect everything that happens so clearly that it is easy to understand.

“The base material is ‘Xue Pengkai’, the ‘Miracle Cream’ symbolizes ‘omnipotence’, and the ‘Tree of Wisdom’ symbolizes ‘omniscience’. When Sera brought me to the ‘Tree of Wisdom’, I had already begun my descent.”

"Xue Pengkai collapsed not because the informational pressure of the 'Tree of Wisdom' impacted his brain, but because the 'Tree of Wisdom' was entering his body. Sera thought Xue Pengkai was overwhelmed by the informational fluctuations of the 'Tree of Wisdom,' but she was wrong from the beginning. What followed was my performance."

Naya chuckled, "That Sera is truly pathetic. The two people who tried to manipulate her are now secretly manipulating her instead. Speaking of which, as an 'omniscient and omnipotent' being, isn't your foundation a bit too weak? You're being crushed by me in every way and used in every way..."

“The process is irrelevant; the outcome is what matters. You are the ‘mantis,’ and I am the ‘oriole.’ Without Luke, the backstabbing would have been continuous.”

Yog-Sothoth calmly listed the facts, and seeing that Nyarlathotep was still smiling, he slightly touched his lips.

“Wang Ming is one of my incarnations. To enter the deepest part of the Winter Kingdom, one cannot simply perform a blood sacrifice. Only an incarnation of ‘Yog-Sothoth’ is qualified to perform a blood sacrifice…”

Naya's smile vanished as the other person blatantly uttered four words to him.

"I am your father!"
Lu Ke watched with great interest as the two pillars, beings of the same caliber as the "Mother of Abundance" and worthy of being called pillars of the multiverse, bickered, raising an eyebrow.

"You two are more human than I imagined."

Yog-Sothoth stared at Luke and slowly shook his head.

"Outer Gods are not devoid of emotions as humans describe them. On the contrary, human emotions are, in our eyes, barren. We react to even the slightest fluctuations in an event with different emotions and in different ways, which is why humans cannot understand them."

"Oh? This is your inexplicable and incomprehensible logic of behavior?"

"……one."

Yog-Sothoth added, "The factors influencing the actions of the Outer Gods are numerous enough to fill a universe, but when communicating with equal beings, we can adjust ourselves to be compatible with your culture, customs, appearance, and all other conditions..."

He paused, "Although you are clearly an equal to me and Nyarlathotep, you still act like an uncivilized primitive, just like a living human being, but respect is still necessary."

"Respect? Are you sure you don't want to eat me up?"

Luke narrowed his eyes. The surrounding "crimson" erosion encountered some kind of barrier, and time began to reverse. The parts of the Winter Kingdom that had been swallowed were gradually spat out.

“I don’t want to fight. My duty is to observe. I don’t have Nyarlathotep’s wicked sense of humor. I don’t mind being a Tavel who’s waiting in front of the ‘Silver Spoon’, but… we’re too close.”

As Yog-Sothoth spoke, his body transformed into billions of amorphous orbs of light, which clustered and compressed together, illuminating the Land of Winter and causing the surrounding spacetime to become disordered.

“I know everything and can accomplish everything, but you are the exception. You are both the ‘One Who Unifies All Things’ and not the ‘One Who Unifies All Things’. You are an abyss deeper than the Three Pillar Gods… Before you become the ‘Lord of the Garden’, I must annihilate you.”

Lu Ke stroked his chin, and dozens of layers of halos appeared behind him. Under his control, all the halos overlapped, causing his aura to rise continuously.

Luke pointed his hand at "The One Who Returns to Oneness" and chuckled.

“I must say, this was not the right choice.”

"...I cannot deconstruct your essence, but I can judge your power. You have not yet become a true transcendent being. When the 'divine bird' cries, you will not escape the dream of Azathoth. Therefore, you can only deal with one pillar god at a time."

Yog-Sothoth's voice had become faint and uncertain.

The two similar rules have long been entangled, colliding and destroying each other, which is reflected in reality as countless orbs and halos of light merging and colliding.

This is a war of mutual invasion, and the victor will become the sole "One Who Unifies All Things"!
As the rules of the two collided, Nyarlathotep, who was watching from the sidelines, let out a creepy smile and transformed into a hideous, roaring giant. Tentacles replaced what was originally his face, and he joined the battle.

“Nyarlathotep will help me. As ‘Wang Lang,’ he will choose to kill you. As Nyarlathotep, he will also choose to kill the extraterrestrial being that even the ‘One Who Unifies All Things’ cannot comprehend…”

Yog-Sothoth stated the facts as before, and the Night Howler was indeed helping Him. He roared and caused Chaos to suppress the layered halos, allowing billions of orbs of light to gradually erode Luke.

"Before Sera died, she asked me a question: Why am I here? Do you have the answer to that question?"

Luke remained calm, then suddenly let out a soft chuckle and asked a question.

"..."

Yog-Sothoth did not answer, nor did He know how Luke had escaped from the "Maze of Chaos".

Lu Ke is the "One Who Unifies All Things," but he is not the pure "One Who Unifies All Things." He still possesses powers that he is not familiar with, such as the "Unknown."

Billions of amorphous light spheres shone brightly, and thousands of prism-like light cores flickered in the void. Each light prism was a cross-section of a timeline. Dimensional barriers shattered like glass, revealing the writhing, invisible chaos behind them.

Just then, a hand landed on the shoulder of "Night Howler," and before the ugly giant could turn around, the fist of Annihilation Universe slammed into His face, directly elevating this "God of a Thousand Faces"!
The owner of the fist was a tall, languid young man. He flicked his hand, his tone flippant.

"You think you can just leave after offending Lu Ke?"

The erratic aggregate of light spheres suddenly accelerated, seemingly descending into chaos. In the eyes of the Outer Gods, the physical form was useless data; they judged the inner essence. But the newly appeared youth, aside from his physical appearance…

His inner self is exactly the same as Lu Ke's!
Luke... has two?

It's not a clone, not an incarnation, and not a half-body. In a battle at this level, those methods are useless. So... are there really two completely identical people in front of me?

Luke, who was entangled and devouring Yog-Sothoth, sent out a message filled with pleasure.

"Of course Luke was exiled from the 'Chaos Labyrinth,' but why can't Luke appear in the Winter Kingdom on the thirteenth floor? And why can't Luke help the previous Luke deliver a punch to the enemy!"

"How dare you assume Luke's numbers?"
