Man in the heavens, wins by lying down to prove the truth

Chapter 363 The Death of the Main God and Zhou Cheng (End of this volume)
“I have established that Zhou Cheng is the true name of the God and the true nature of the God, from the unspeakable, inconceivable, and incomprehensible ‘beginning and first’.”

“I have set it up! From the unreachable, unending, and unrecordable ‘end and end,’ Zhou Cheng is still the original self of the God, the source of the God.”

"I have determined that I am the root of all the strange and chaotic things in the myriad worlds, and the original being who holds the authority of the supreme god."

"I have established that my origin is the origin of the God."

"I have set it up! Zhou Cheng is the main god, but the main god is not Zhou Cheng."

"Its operational logic manifests as the following nineteen infinite series of absolute conditions..."

"..."

Zhou Cheng's very existence began to undergo a fundamental transformation. It was not a physical shift, but a fundamental leap and reconstruction of his essence at the level of "existence."

In an instant, the chain of cause and effect no longer followed its previous course, and the ironclad laws of logic were given the power to reverse.

At this moment, the order of existence was completely overturned.

It was not by the will of the main god that Zhou Cheng was chosen as the first "reincarnator".

Instead, Zhou Cheng's existence itself is revealed to be another "self" that actively separated and condensed from the vast, boundless, and supreme primordial consciousness of the main god.

Yes, Zhou Cheng cannot modify the main god; he is absolutely immune to it, and no power can touch the main god.

But the main god... was only thinking about how to defend, while Zhou Cheng never cared about defense from beginning to end.

Therefore, Zhou Cheng transformed himself, altered his past, obliterated his true self, and made himself a part of the main god.

In any case, in the end, everything will return to absolute nothingness.

Compared to the God of Fear turning into nothingness, Zhou Cheng naturally held absolute initiative.

Even if they possess the same level of wisdom and the same level of understanding, as long as this one difference exists, the final outcome is already predetermined.

"At this point, our two hearts are united, and we trace back to our origin!"

Zhou Cheng's will transformed into the purest power of existence, undergoing an ultimate transformation of himself.

Zhou Cheng's manifested body completely disappeared, collapsing inward and dissipating outward, eventually coalescing into a pure, infinite, absolutely perfect circle.

An infinitely vast and supreme form that is identical to the manifestation of the Lord God's origin.

At this moment, the two large orbs of light, symbolizing 'infinite terror' itself, began to merge on an absolute level that transcends time, space, causality, and logic.

"Paradox! Zhou Cheng, you are not me, I set..."

The supreme power was surging, and the supreme god was about to strip Zhou Cheng from his body.

This great force is not a surge of energy, but a direct alteration and expulsion of the very definition of existence. It attempts to break down this newly formed unity and completely reject the "new self" consciousness represented by Zhou Cheng.

However, just like when Zhou Cheng faced the main god in the past, he was helpless against the 'absolute immunity'.

At this moment, the divine power itself, which was designed to strip away Zhou Cheng's consciousness, was blocked by an invisible absolute barrier originating from the very setting itself—Zhou Cheng's absolute immunity to copying.

"I've decided that I don't have a second consciousness!"

The main god also discovered this problem and made direct adjustments, but it was still blocked by Zhou Cheng's absolute immunity.

To achieve absolute immunity this time, the Supreme God deduced countless years and incorporated his own boundless wisdom.

He plugged up every logical loophole that Zhou Cheng could think of, and at the same time, he plugged up every logical loophole that he could think of.

“It won’t work. Zhou Cheng is the main god, but the main god is not Zhou Cheng. I can modify my own body, but you cannot modify your own body.”

Zhou Cheng's voice came from inside the large sphere of light.

"When you modify yourself, it will trigger Zhou Cheng's absolute immunity, but when Zhou Cheng modifies himself, it will not trigger your absolute immunity."

"There's no need to think about revoking the absolute rules that have already been created, because you and I are one, and the rules that you and I have created cannot be revoked."

This is a paradox that shouldn't exist, yet it truly does.

Zhou Cheng can enjoy the benefits of being the main god, but he does not suffer the negative effects of being the main god.

All of this was patched up when Zhou Cheng established himself as the main god, thus filling the logical loopholes.

With the characteristic of absolute immunity, at this moment, the main god could not affect Zhou Cheng, and after Zhou Cheng became the main god, the main god could not affect him either.

The great sphere of light trembled, and the voice of the supreme god resounded: "So what? You and I cannot influence each other now, so we cannot influence ourselves either. We can only stay here for endless eternity, permanently imprisoned."

"Yes, neither of us can do anything about the other, nor can we do anything about ourselves."

Zhou Cheng's voice also came out, and the absolutely perfect sphere rippled with endless brilliance, but it actually dissipated.

"Impossible. Even if we are one, you cannot ignore my absolute immunity."

The voice of the supreme deity contained an emotion that could not be understood.

“You have been influenced by me too deeply. I learned about the Absolute Primordial Beginning from Master Boyang, and you think that the Absolute Primordial Beginning is the Absolute Supreme.”

"But the absolute beginning is merely the absolute highest rule."

"Above that, is there anything else?"

"I have no way to do anything to you. I simply choose to turn into nothingness. This is not a rule, nor is it the power of the absolute beginning. It is simply giving up and disappearing."

“And I am you, I am the supreme god, so when I step into the realm of nothingness, you will also disappear completely from this world with me.”

Zhou Cheng didn't hide anything.

After all, there's no need to hide it anymore.

Within these seemingly simple words, a torrent of information flows, sharing the deeper logic and principles with the divine.

The Supreme God understood all of Zhou Cheng's logic.

"You won, but if you return, I will return too."

The voice of the supreme god emanated from the dissipating core of eternity.

However, Zhou Cheng's voice immediately followed from the core of eternity: "You're overthinking it."

“Your understanding of ‘nothingness’ should be more profound than mine.”

"In the 'nothingness,' there is no setting, no rules, no consciousness, no concept, no 'I,' and of course, no... the returning 'you.'"

Then, all fell silent.

The supreme deity naturally knew the meaning behind it, but remained silent.

At this level of existence that transcends all concepts, there is no difference between 'eternity' and 'moment'.

The process of extinction, on a scale that transcends units of time, is both the endless erosion of time and the lightning-fast annihilation of concepts.

All traces of existence, all imprints of settings, and all the absolute rules that once disturbed the 'existent' beings represented by the Supreme God and Zhou Cheng, all silently returned to the final nothingness.

Everything returned to the silence before its birth.

Everything dissolves into the nothingness beyond that definition.

The cycle of existence closes here, leaving no gaps.

……

There is a field.

High above the Great Luo Heaven, atop the sea of ​​clouds.

A Taoist priest was brewing tea when he suddenly sensed something and raised his right hand.

The palm was empty, without a single word.

Previously, the Taoist priest had asked a young friend to leave a word on his palm.

This character has now disappeared.

"Young friend, only by keeping your heart alive can you transcend this." The Taoist sighed softly, then cast his gaze down upon the Great Luo Heaven and looked out over the myriad worlds of the Three Realms.

The temples that once enshrined the Great Emperor of Primordial Chaos and the Celestial Venerable of Initial Salvation have all disappeared.

Those who had contact with the temple have now forgotten their memories.

The human heart tends to associate forgotten things with similar ones.

They might remember that they had visited the temple of a great emperor, though they might remember it as the Jade Emperor, the Ziwei Emperor, or something else entirely.

In short, no one will remember someone who has completely disappeared without a trace.

The scriptures used by the Taiyi Patriarch to guide people in the past have all disappeared from historical records.

It was as if they had never appeared.

No, it should be said that it could never happen.

If you don't believe it, look at the past and future. There are only two Yuanjun who have helped people become immortals. Where is the third person?

……

At this moment, in the Taiyi Heaven.

Yu Yun, dressed in linen, frowned slightly, her double pupils shining brightly, illuminating all that had passed.

"I've forgotten something: why did I come into this world?"

Yu Yun remembered very clearly that he was not from this world.

She has been through a lot, once fighting a demon king against the saints, and once nearly dying for the sake of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

“I was revived from that barren prison, and then… I saw the ancestral spirit.”

"My memories are incomplete, so why would I see the ancestral spirit?"

"And Taiwei Hua, the part of my memory of knowing her is also missing. Why did I know her? Why did I go to her world?"

"And why did you come into this world?"

Yu Yun has forgotten many things.

But as a cultivator, she wouldn't be like an ordinary person, misremembering things and giving herself a reasonable consolation.

Introspect on yourself and you will see the sacred embryo.

Looking back from the endless past to the present, and connecting all the memories, you will find gaps. If there is a gap, it makes sense if it is related to a certain person.

That person is most likely one's fellow Daoist or Daoist partner.

However, due to some event, Yu Yun forgot about this person's existence.

"Why is there no trace of this person in the past or future?"

Yu Yun stood up, intending to find Taiwei Hua to verify her identity.

Just as this thought arose in her mind, a stream of light came from the Thirty-Three Heavens and returned to Taiyi Heaven.

“Yu Yun, if my memory is not completely wrong, we should know each other.”

Taiwei Hua, dressed in a long gown, looked at Yu Yun in front of her and spoke softly.

"You should have realized that there's something wrong with your memory, right?" Yu Yun asked directly.

Taiwei Hua nodded, then looked somewhat bewildered: "I have forgotten too much. Even when I asked my master to help me see the past and the future, I could not find any trace related to my memory loss."

"But... this part of me that I've forgotten seems to be related to someone, and also to you."

Yu Yun let out a long breath and said, "My situation is the same as yours."

As she spoke, Yu Yun directly shared her memories with Taiwei Hua.

Similarly, Taiwei Hua also shared his memories with Yu Yun.

Both of them experienced absolute amnesia.

It's not just that I've forgotten a person, but I've also forgotten who that person was, what they did, what they said to me, and what we went through together.

I can't recall any related memories at all.

“I’ve been to Mount Ling once. Let’s go ask the Buddha.”

Yu Yun stood up and looked at Taiwei Hua.

Taiwei Hua shook his head: "There's no need to go. Something has happened at Mount Ling, or rather, the entire Three Realms and all worlds are in chaos."

“My master went to seek refuge long ago, otherwise he would also be in trouble now.”

"She has also forgotten why she sought refuge. It seems that I reminded her, but I have forgotten when I reminded her."

Yu Yun remained silent, gazing at the Taiyi Heaven.

Many places are eerie; there must be some buildings there.

But now those buildings have disappeared, leaving only empty spaces.

"Then let's travel throughout the three realms and all the worlds, and we're sure we'll find some clues."

Yu Yun looked at Taiwei Hua beside her.

Taiwei Hua frowned slightly: "Now that the calamity has begun, going out of the mountain is entering the calamity. Even the Supreme Perfect Enlightenment is facing the calamity. It would be better for us to wait until the calamity is over before we go out into the world."

“I am certain that these lost memories are very important to me. I cannot tolerate any flaws in my Dao heart. If you are unwilling to go, I will go alone.”

After Yu Yun finished speaking, she was about to leave when she saw Taiwei Hua nod as well: "Okay, then I'll go with you."

Immediately, the two descended from Taiyi Heaven atop auspicious light.

However, after leaving Taiyi Heaven, the two did not reach the Three Realms, but instead suddenly appeared above the vast sea of ​​clouds.

You can't see anything here except an endless, vast sea of ​​clouds.

Above the sea of ​​clouds, there is a mountain peak.

"My two young friends, please take a seat."

At the mountaintop, a Taoist priest extended an invitation to the two.

Yu Yun and Taiwei Hua exchanged a glance and quickly approached the Taoist priest.

"Greetings, senior. May I ask who you are?" Taiwei Hua and Yu Yun greeted each other.

The Taoist shook his head: "It seems you've forgotten everything Fellow Daoist Zhou told you."

“Especially you, you’ve even forgotten your own Primordial Dao Fruit.”

As he spoke, the Taoist waved his whisk, and a flood of familiar insights welled up in his mind.

The sacred embryo, which had been covered in dust, suddenly emitted boundless radiance, remembering all the principles and insights.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior!"

Yu Yun was taken aback, then bowed to the Taoist priest, guessing his identity.

"I did not enlighten you, but merely reminded you of the principles you had already understood but had forgotten."

With a wave of his hand, the Taoist priest conjured two gates of light.

"On the other side of this gate of light lies your homeland, your native land."

"As long as you step through the gate of light, you will return to the point in time before your memories became distorted. You can pretend that nothing ever happened, and that fate has simply bestowed upon you a higher level of power and understanding."

"Of course, if you want to pursue the truth, then I can only tell you that the person you have forgotten is completely dead and no longer exists. There is no way to find him."
