At the same time, but the crazy

Chapter 599 The Birth of a Fool
That all-encompassing power of regeneration once again healed all the wounds of the multiverse.

But it only healed the wounds.

Resetting to zero does not mean completely wiping out the data.

With each reboot, some things are stubbornly preserved.

That monster called "Snake".

The deepest essence of the multiverse.

And then there's the Kunpeng, which carries the regrets and obsessions of the earliest human civilization.

They are exceptions to the reboot, bypassing its effects in different ways.

But besides that, there is one major exception... that tower!

That Tower of Infinity, and the fragments it fell into during each reboot, are the things that can truly transcend eras and be accumulated!
Some of those fragments were cunningly intercepted by the monster called "Snake" and turned into resources for its growth.

The other part was scattered into the rebooted multiverse.

These fragments were then captured and collected little by little by the sages who had transformed into a second existence through the power of the Kunpeng.

Because those fragments are of extremely high quality, they can even influence the development of the entire multiverse.

Upon realizing the power of these fragments, the sages decided to devise a plan within the cycle of reincarnation, seeking a turning point.

For example... the establishment of the Three Pure Ones' positions, and the birth of the direct descendant world of the multiverse...

This was not something that came naturally; rather, it was a possibility that the ancients created by forcibly using fragments of the tower!
The goal, of course, is to thwart the snake's plot...

Then... the scene shifts.

Zhang Qi witnessed an unimaginably vast project.

That was a grand attempt to evolve the entire technological system, starting from the most basic logic, into runes.

He saw a crack that stretched through infinite space and time, a crack that was enough to anchor the essence of the entire multiverse—the "Infinite Space-Time Crack"!
He saw countless sparks of wisdom, deliberately nurtured within the human race, blossoming with a brilliance that transcended time.

He saw a mechanism that combined technology and the extraordinary being constructed, a "central hub" that could traverse the entire multiverse and infinite spacetime.

He even "saw" deep within the human bloodline those tenacious, courageous, and dream-chasing qualities, which were actually steel imprints deeply buried by the fragments of the tower through repeated reincarnations!

This is not all.

The most outrageous thing the ancient sages did was try to change the timing of the tower's appearance.

It is no longer a desperate judgment after the great tribulation of ascension.

Rather... it descended upon the world before the great calamity arrived!

In each restart, these sages, who used the power of Kunpeng to cut themselves apart and transform into non-human and non-object beings, did nothing.

Do not!
They've done too much!
There are far more than we can imagine!

They just lack an opportunity.

A turning point that would allow them to stake all the wealth they've accumulated over countless eras on the table at once!

But...where there is light, there is darkness.

The tower is too tall.

It is so high that it is indescribable and incomprehensible.

To transform its fragments into the foundation of humanity, it is necessary to endure disasters and negative impacts of the same level.

This is an unavoidable exchange of costs.

So Zhang Qi saw it too.

He saw the various branches of the "Go Die Go Die Gang" appearing quietly in every hopeful era, like maggots clinging to bones, spreading despair and curses.

He saw the terrifying shadow lurking beneath the light of hope, silently chuckling in the corner every time human civilization smiled.

He saw a vast ocean called "Dream" born from illusion, an ocean that would drag all those who were not resolute into it, condemning them to eternal damnation.

He saw a terrifying concept called "freedom," which caused chaos and disorder wherever it went, rules collapsed, and everything turned into a chaotic carnival.

He saw a headless giant, holding a giant axe, standing silently at the end of time and space, radiating a cold aura that could end everything.

He saw writhing, indescribable flesh and blood, gradually filling every corner of the multiverse.

I saw endless darkness surging in like a tide, threatening to drag the entire multiverse into eternal silence…

Eternal Night!
But this is the only way out. If nothing is done, the snake will eventually absorb everything in the multiverse and become transcendent.

Even so, they still lacked a catalyst, a turning point that would make them take a desperate gamble.

Then, these resources, along with the terrifying calamities they accompanied, will be thrown into the multiverse as humanity's final and strongest counterattack after a certain reboot!
And this turning point...

It finally appeared.

It was a miracle born from the impossible, with a probability close to zero.

Its name is...

Renhuang!

He is the "Seed of Transcendence"!
Transcendence requires accumulation.

It's like climbing stairs; you have to climb step by step to reach the top.

Accumulation means enduring decay and decline, an ironclad rule that all things must follow.

Even the most powerful cannot survive to the next era.

Even the ultimate universe still cannot escape its dependence on the external universe.

If we compare the entire multiverse to the ocean, then the ultimate fish is just a larger fish, and as long as it is a fish, it cannot live without water.

Therefore, in order to achieve transcendence, one must possess a concept called "restoration"!

Like the creatures in that special battlefield, they don't completely disappear even in death. And Renhuang…

He was born with the talent of [Willpower Restoration]!

The time when Renhuang was born was still a great era of myriad races.

Humanity continued to struggle in that era, but ultimately, just before the great cataclysm of ascension, it seized final victory and became the dominant species in the multiverse.

But what good is victory?

The tribulation of ascension will still come.

In particular, the "Eternal Night" also appeared in that era.

When the Tower of Infinity descends, it signifies the end of everything.

The human civilization that Renhuang belongs to has made the same choice as countless predecessors in the past.

Faced with an impending doom, they chose... to enter the tower!
But the tower is infinite.

When finite life confronts the infinite, the very concept of "infinity" is enough to utterly destroy the very foundation of all existence.

Except for Renhuang.

He stepped into the tower, facing the endless infinity.

His talent... [Willpower Restoration], has finally been fully unleashed!
As long as his will remains steadfast, his essence will not dissipate!

He actually withstood the backlash from staring at infinity and began an endless climb within the tower!
It was at this moment that Renhuang had a choice.

This tower is infinite; although it has lost fragments during its constant restarts, those fragments are but a drop in the ocean.

Its essence is eternal and indestructible.

As long as Renhuang chooses to remain in the tower, he can accumulate power eternally by relying on his [Will Restoration].

Until... we transcend the finite and reach the infinite!

This means that he can become...

Transcendence!

however.

Renhuang did not make that choice.

He was foolish enough to abandon the ultimate pursuit of all living beings.

He was foolish enough to give up his only chance to become transcendent.

He was so stupid...

He is... [The Fool]!
That was the message that Renhuang deliberately left for the sages at the last moment.

He gave up everything, he sacrificed everything he had.

At the cost of its own essence, and with the help of some "external force," it forcibly extracted a small piece of essence from the tower's owner... that original transcendent being!

Then, carrying that essence along with his talent [Will Restoration], he fell into the soon-to-be-rebooted multiverse.

Renhuang... is gone.

After that reboot.

The sages of the Primordial State believed in Renhuang's choice and risked everything, investing all their resources into this era!
That is, the current era!
then.

In this multiverse, a legitimate child has been born!

then.

This time, the [Snake] strikes immediately! There is no more passivity or probing!

Not only did he begin to intervene in the evolution of the multiverse at the end of the chaos, but he also destroyed his own son, causing him to achieve a partial Dao cessation!
Furthermore, immediately after the Primordial Era, it divided and changed the state of the multiverse!

Infinite diversity transformed from parallel worlds... into the state of time!
I see……

Upon seeing this, Zhang Qi's heart pounded; everything had connected!
The so-called temporal state is the infinite subdivision of the multiverse.

From pseudostate to unique state.

The end of those pseudo-worlds is actually part of the multiverse, having undergone the tribulation of sublimation ahead of time!

The serpent's goal is to completely drain the entire multiverse of its value within this one era!
The snake slaughters humans and absorbs their fortune.

The multiverse, in turn, gains the resources for death, allowing those destroyed parts to regrow.

What is lost is only the most fundamental essence of the multiverse!
But the snake can grow wildly in this process!

She even went so far as to corrupt the Kunpeng, which she had always ignored, in this era, using all her resources to turn it into her trump card!

In this era, the Serpent also puts everything it has on the gambling table.

She revealed all her trump cards and hidden strengths!

Failure would mean utter ruin!

If you don't participate, you can simply watch from the sidelines, quietly reap the rewards, and escape the wrath of heaven and earth.

But once you get involved yourself, you'll have to bear the consequences of it all!

There is only one reason why the snake would make such a risky decision.

That means it must have sensed Renhuang's actions, and sensed that a small piece of its transcendent essence had fallen into the multiverse.

Transcendence is the existence that transcends everything; it is the true infinite being, and even a small part of the infinite is infinite.

If one can grasp this essence, then the [snake] will surely transcend...
