Chapter 541 A Shocking Event!

Chapter 549

"This...this is..." Cang Shi gripped the control panel, his lips pale. In his vast knowledge base, he could find nothing that could rival it. "A Dao Lord...no, an ordinary Dao Lord would never possess such power! This is the embodiment of 'Principle,' the manifestation of the core laws of the Heavenly Principle sequence!"

All eyes were drawn to the figure standing alone in the starry sky.

Tiny, yet like a pillar supporting the sky.

Xu Ran's robes fluttered in the windless void, a sign that his "Reincarnation Domain" was engaged in the most fundamental confrontation with the opponent's "Order God Domain".

His expression was as calm as an ancient well, but deep within his eyes, one gray and one chaotic, countless streams of information were flashing wildly.

[Target locked: Heavenly Principle Sequence - Executioner - Holy Arbiter γ-7]

"Analysis of the Laws: Absolute Order, Logical Judgment, Conceptual Revision, Coverage of Truth..."

"Threat level: Above Dao Lord, below Realm Lord."

"Comparative analysis: The target's Dao principle has a completeness of 99.9%, a closed logical loop, and is flawless. Our 'Reincarnation Dao' is in its initial stage, with a completeness of 17.3%, and contains a large number of logical gaps that can be attacked."

"Prediction... Win rate: 0.01%"

A string of cold data surfaced in his mind. This was an innate talent he had possessed since embarking on the path of cultivation, an instinct capable of quantifying and analyzing all information, which he called the "Dao Lord System." It was not an external object, but a part of his soul essence, his greatest reliance for rising from humble beginnings and repeatedly creating miracles.

However, at this moment, the system presented an almost absolute "dead end".

"0.01 percent..." Far from despairing, Xu Ran's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile. "Variables are the fertile ground for miracles. If everything can be calculated, then what is the meaning of the 'Tao'?"

He knew that his greatest advantage was never his strength, but his "Dao," which was judged by the system as "incomplete," yet was therefore full of infinite possibilities—"reincarnation"!
Just then, the rotation of the silver cross suddenly stopped.

An invisible and intangible, yet omnipresent, thought descended.

"Abnormal variable detected: Xu Ran".

"The Root of Variables: The Way of Paradox - Reincarnation".

"Judgment: There is a potential threat to subvert 'truth'."

"Revised solution: Activate the 'absolute field' to perform concept overriding."

The moment those words were spoken, the whole world changed.

In Zhenshan and the others' view, the starry sky vanished, the metal cemetery vanished, and all tangible matter disappeared. In its place was an infinitely extending, perfectly geometric space composed of countless silver lines.

They felt their existence being "analyzed," their bodies, souls, memories, and even the laws they cultivated were being broken down into lines of cold code, undergoing a "right or wrong" judgment in this silver space.

“My path… is being denied!” a king general roared in terror. The battle intent he was burning with was rapidly dimming, as if it were being proven to be a “wrong” answer.

This is the "absolute field"!
A supreme divine realm that covers the real universe with its own "reason"! Within this realm, the Arbiter γ-7 is the sole creator!
As the center of the storm, Xu Ran was under terrifying pressure.

Countless shackles made of silver logical chains appeared around him, trying to completely lock up and define his "path of reincarnation".

"Definition: 'Life' is ordered, 'death' is disordered."

"Judgment: 'Reincarnation,' that is, an illegal cycle of order and disorder, is a fallacy."

“Execution: Deconstruct the concept of ‘reincarnation’, strip away ‘life’, and erase ‘death’.”

The silver flames of law began to scorch Xu Ran's Dao! They wanted to forcibly dismantle his Great Dao of Reincarnation into two unrelated parts, and then completely obliterate its core meaning of "flow" and "change"!

"You want to define my Dao?"

Xu Ran looked up at the sky and let out a long roar, a roar filled with defiance and resistance!
"How dare you define my path!"

boom!
His newly formed "Reincarnation Domain" suddenly expanded, no longer passively defending, but actively attacking!

That was not a clash of forces, but a thrilling debate!
Within the silver divine realm of the Holy Arbiter, countless profound axioms and codes of law emerge, each character representing an unquestionable truth.

Axiom 1: Existence is rational.

Within Xu Ran's Cycle of Reincarnation, a corresponding scene immediately unfolded: chaos was created, all things were born, and the rationality of their "existence" was acknowledged.

Axiom Two: What is irrational is nothingness.

Xu Ran's Dao Domain changed accordingly: the universe was in a state of heat desolation, all things returned to nothingness, and all "irrationality" was reduced to an end and nothingness.

The "reason" of the Holy Arbiter is static, binary, and black and white.

But Xu Ran's "Dao" is fluid!
"Then, what is the process from 'reasonable' to 'unreasonable'?"

Xu Ran asked a question using the Dao, and the voice of his soul shook the entire Absolute Field!

Within his Dao Realm, a flower went through the entire process from budding to full bloom, and then to withering and dying.

"Blooming is 'reasonable.' Withering is 'unreasonable.' So, how do you define this change between 'glory' and 'withering'?"

Boom!

The entire silver "absolute field" was slightly shaken by this simple question!

The Arbiter's logic is perfect, but also rigid. It can define any "state," but it cannot perfectly define a "process"! Because the "process" itself is full of variables!

"...Calculating..."

"'Change' is the path from 'rational' to 'irrational,' and it belongs to abnormal fluctuations that need to be corrected."

The Arbiter provided the answer.

"wrong!"

Xu Ran's eyes flashed with divine light, and his Samsara Dao Domain erupted with unprecedented brilliance at this moment!

"Change is not a path, but the essence of the universe!"

"The 'change' is the eternal truth!"

"Your 'reason' is nothing more than a still ripple in the long river of 'change'!"

"Get moving!"

Xu Ran clasped his hands together in front of his chest and then forcefully pulled them apart!

The three-dimensional, Möbius strip-like reincarnation seal on his chest began to spin wildly!
In an instant, all the silver logic lines within the entire "absolute field" seemed to be moved by an invisible hand, and began to flow and change uncontrollably!
The originally straight lines began to curve.

The once perfect cube began to twist into irregular shapes.

The Saint Arbiter's "absolute order," which was like an iron law, was thrown into unprecedented chaos by the impact of Xu Ran's core Dao of "all things change"!
"Alert! Alert! Variable contamination level exceeds the threshold!"

"The very foundation of the Dao is being eroded!"

For the first time, a hint of astonishment flickered in the Arbiter's icy mind. It couldn't comprehend it!
In its calculations, Xu Ran's Dao was clearly full of flaws, so why was it able to shake its foundation instead?
It doesn't understand that its "reason" is built on a magnificent edifice, exquisite and grand, yet it requires a solid foundation.

Xu Ran's "Dao" is a flood! It is magma! It is a raging wind! Chaotic and disorderly, yet capable of destroying all existing forms!
"Use variables to fight against constants! Use chaos to overturn order!"

Xu Ran seized this fleeting opportunity. He sensed that although the opponent's Dao was powerful, it lacked something.

A kind of... "spirituality"! A capacity to evolve in the face of the unknown!
"The legacy of countless furnaces belongs to me!"

Xu Ran roared, and the powerful Dao principles remnants from the Divine Court fleet within his body, which had not yet been fully digested, suddenly erupted!
That was not just power, but also the indomitable will and the unwavering determination to protect civilization of countless Divine Court warriors before they died in battle!

"The Divine Court endures forever, and order will never perish!"

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Countless golden phantoms appeared behind Xu Ran, wielding divine weapons and piloting divine ships, unleashing a roar that transcended eras towards the silver sky!

This is the power of "emotion"! Something that cold "reason" cannot quantify!
The golden torrent merged into Xu Ran's Reincarnation Dao Domain, adding a dazzling touch to the world that was originally only gray and chaotic, filled with the splendor of humanity!
The cycle of reincarnation evolves once again at this moment!

It is no longer a simple cycle of life and death, but has incorporated the continuation of "civilization" and the inheritance of "spirit"!

Click!

A crisp cracking sound echoed through the starry sky.

That silver "absolute field" finally couldn't hold on any longer and shattered like a mirror!
The starry sky reappears, and the metal cemetery remains unchanged.

Zhenshan and the others were panting heavily, as if they had just been pulled back from the brink of drowning, and they stared in horror at the sky.

On the smooth, mirror-like surface of that enormous silver cross, a tiny crack had appeared!

Xu Ran, with his newly formed Dao and the cultivation of a Dao Lord at its peak, forcefully shook a terrifying existence "above Dao Lord"!
Although his face was even paler and the light of his Samsara Domain was dim, indicating that he had expended a great deal of energy, he won the first round of the battle!
"The variable... exceeded expectations."

"Initiate the second plan: 'The Code of Heavenly Principles' to conduct causal judgment."

The Arbiter γ-7 clearly lacks emotion and is devoid of frustration. The failure of one attack will only trigger it to activate an even more powerful contingency plan.

The enormous silver cross began to disintegrate and recombine.

Countless silver light fragments unfolded like pages of a book, eventually forming an unimaginably huge and incredibly thick silver codex in the starry sky!
Above the code, there are no words, only endless runes representing the supreme "reason" of the universe flowing.

It's open.

wow-

The sound of pages turning is like the fate of the universe being turned.

Ultimately, it stopped at a blank page.

A light pen composed of pure "reason" slowly emerges on the page.

"The person subject to the ruling: Xu Ran."

"The charges: Stealing the authority of 'Return to the Void', constructing the 'Paradox' path, and endangering the survival of 'Truth'."

The light pen begins to move, intending to write Xu Ran's ending on it.

"Verdict:..."

At this moment, Xu Ran felt an unprecedented and immense terror!
That's not suppression by force, but obliteration at the level of "cause and effect"!

He felt that his connection with the world was being forcibly severed by this pen. His past was becoming blurred; his future was being led towards "nothingness."

Once that pen writes the words "soul scattered and spirit dispersed," he will be completely and cleanly erased from this timeline, as if he had never existed!
This is one of the most domineering methods of the Heavenly Principles sequence: the judgment of cause and effect!
Ignore the process and define the result directly!
"Don't think about it!"

Xu Ran's eyes were about to burst, and the Samsara Dao Seal was running wildly, trying to resist this separation of cause and effect. But his Dao was only in its initial stage. How could he contend with this supreme law that governs cause and effect?

His presence is fading rapidly!

Onboard the Pioneer, Zhenshan and the others were horrified to discover that their memories of "Our Lord" were beginning to falter and become chaotic!

"No! No! My lord!" Zhenshan clutched his head and roared in anguish.

At this critical moment.

In Xu Ran's mind, the shattered thoughts transmitted by that strange black bone finger flashed through his mind.

"...A scam...it's all a scam!"

"...'Heavenly Principles' are not guardians, they are thieves!"

"...It stole the 'Fruit'...It stole the 'Fruit of the End' from all the worlds!"

thief!

Yes! A thief!

A flash of inspiration, like a divine thunderbolt splitting the heavens and earth, exploded deep within Xu Ran's sea of ​​consciousness!
He's been stuck in a misconception!
He has been using his own "Tao" to counter the other party's "Law".

It's like an ordinary citizen trying to defy the laws of an empire with their own reasoning; no matter how right they are, they are destined to fail.

But... what if the empire that made the laws is itself illegitimate? What if the judge sitting high on the bench is himself a criminal?
"Haha...hahahaha!"

Xu Ran suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter filled with endless mockery and disdain.

"To conduct a trial in the name of a thief is utterly ridiculous!"

His divine voice was no longer simply resisting, but transformed into the sharpest dagger, piercing straight into the core of the "Heavenly Principles Code"!

"Let me ask you!"

Xu Ran's voice, like a resounding bell, echoed throughout this star field. Every word contained the core essence of his Cycle of Reincarnation, filled with the power of "change" and "questioning"!

"You claim to uphold the principles of heaven, but do you know that there are heavens beyond heavens?"

"You wield the law, do you not know that there is law above the law?"

"You judge all things, but who judges you?"

"If you define truth and falsehood, can you know whether you yourself are true or false?!"

The final question was earth-shattering!

Xu Ran transformed the earth-shattering secrets conveyed by the black bone finger into the most deadly question about the Dao!
"What right does the thief who stole the 'Fruit of the End' and blocked the 'Path Home' have to judge me here?!"

boom! ! ! ! ! !

The entire universe seemed to freeze for a moment because of those words.

The enormous "Civil Code of Heavenly Principles," and the light pen that was about to write down the verdict, suddenly froze!
Above the codex, the endless silver runes representing "absolute truth" suddenly began to flicker violently, revealing an unprecedented...chaos!
