Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 577, Section 592: Arrogance!

Chapter 591

“You’ve already lost at the root.”

"Insanity!"

That terrifying roar carried a hint of exasperation.

It couldn't understand why its invincible power of ending would fail at this moment!

The next moment, it seemed to understand something.

"So that's how it is... You... You were stealing my power!"

The crimson black hole suddenly accelerated its rotation, and what spewed out from it was no longer the power of devouring, but streaks of... gray shadows!

Those shadows, each with a different shape, all exuded an aura of extreme terror, carrying a sense of decay, death, and yet containing an overwhelming resentment of unwillingness!

One of the shadows, towering and upright, seemed to be composed of countless "one" characters, exuding an absolute, pure, and unchanging "original" way.

“It’s that guy who calls himself ‘Yuan’…” Xu Ran’s gaze sharpened slightly.

Another shadowy figure was covered with countless eyes, each reflecting a scene of a universe heading towards its end—a maddening force that peered into the ultimate destiny.

"And that monster who stole power..."

Immediately following, the afterimage of an ancient being, whose body became a seed, and which transformed into countless universes appeared...

The wailing of a colossal chaotic beast, larger than a galaxy, attempting to shatter the void with its absolute power...

One by one, the remnants of the souls, traces of the Dao, and the unwilling will of the great being who was once brilliant and reached the pinnacle of an era, but ultimately still lost to the "End," were all summoned anew from the historical dust of the graveyard of eras by this incarnation of the "End"!

They are the spoils of "the end," and also its most powerful weapon!
"See that? Ants!"

This is the fate of all those who resist!

"This is the ultimate fate of all 'existence'!"

"They were all like you, believing themselves to be unique variables, believing their 'path' could transcend the end! But what was the result? They all became part of my power! Became mere decorations in nothingness!"

"Now, let them show you what...true despair is!"

Roar!
The afterimage that called itself "Source" was the first to move!
He extended a finger, a finger that seemed to have drained the "beginning" of all things and condensed the single "one," pointing fiercely at Xu Ran's world!

"One" represents both the beginning and the end.

In the Tao of the "Source", all things return to oneness, which is the end!
This finger strike is not intended to destroy Xu Ran's world, but to forcibly "unify" all the laws, all the living beings, and all the concepts in this world into a lifeless, absolutely still "one"!
Faced with this supreme blow that once made an entire era tremble.

Xu Ran simply held up two fingers.

One stick represents the sky.

One root represents the earth.

Heaven is Yang, and Earth is Yin.

"Your 'one' is too lonely."

Xu Ran said softly.

"One begets two, two begets three, three begets all things. This is the true meaning of 'existence'."

He gently closed his two fingers together.

boom!
A completely different Daoist aura rose from his world!

That is not the way of "unity", but the way of "yin and yang" where "opposition" and "unity" coexist!
The supreme finger of "Source" was actually forcibly... torn apart the moment it came into contact with this Daoist aura!
The character “一” was divided into “yin” and “yang”!
That force of absolute stillness was instantly transformed; the yang energy became the sky, merging into the sky of the new world, making the sun, moon, and stars even more dazzling; the yin energy became the earth, merging into the land of the new world, making the mountains and rivers even more profound!
The afterimage of "Source" let out a unwilling roar, shattered, and transformed into the purest primal power, which was completely absorbed by Xu Ran's world!
"what?!"

For the first time, that will to end felt truly shaken!
That's the "Source"! He was the closest to a successful rebel in the previous era! His "One Great Dao" had almost touched the very origin of the Chaos Sea!

But now, his Dao has been so easily...deciphered, and then...absorbed by this man in white?!
This is no longer a battle, this is... preaching!
It is using a higher level of "Tao" to enlighten, encompass, and perfect a lower level of "Tao"!
"Impossible... How could your Dao possibly surpass the 'Source'?!"

"Nothing is impossible."

Xu Ran's gaze fell on the afterimage of the monster covered in eyes.

"Because your ways only see one side of things."

He saw the 'beginning' but not the 'birth'.

Xu Ran pointed to the "source" that had already dissipated.

Then he pointed to the monster.

“But you see the ‘end’ but not the ‘beginning’.”

The monster's afterimage seemed to be enraged, and billions of eyes opened at the same time, shooting out billions of gray "lights of the end"!
Each ray of light contains the entire process of a civilization from its birth to its destruction. It is a terrifying spiritual pollution that can plunge any living being into eternal fatalism and cause their Dao heart to collapse!
"Everything has an end, the cycle is meaningless, so perish and vanish!"

A grand, destiny-telling voice resounded outside Xu Ran's world.

Within the world, newly blossoming flowers are beginning to show signs of withering.

The rushing river, as if foreseeing its inevitable fate of drying up, began to slow its flow.

Even the sun in the sky dimmed slightly, as if it could foresee its fate billions of years later, turning into a cold white dwarf.

This is the terrifying power of "End"—it directly attacks the "future," rendering all efforts in the "present" meaningless!

"That's right, everything has an end."

Xu Ran nodded, seemingly agreeing with its statement.

But then he abruptly changed the subject.

"But you forget that after the end, there is also a new beginning."

He slowly raised his hand, and in his palm, a small flower that was withering completely faded and turned to dust.

But right where the dust settled, a new seed broke through the soil, took root, sprouted, and blossomed into a flower... even more beautiful than before!
"The falling of autumn leaves is to accumulate nutrients for the new buds of spring."

"The death of a star is to transform into a nebula and give birth to the next generation of sun."

"Death is not the end."

Xu Ran's voice carried a wisdom that seemed to have seen through countless cycles of reincarnation.

"Death is part of the cycle of life."

"Your 'end' can only be called... 'reincarnation' in my world!"

boom!
A colossal roulette wheel, woven from the concepts of "life" and "death," slowly emerged behind Xu Ran's world!
Chapter 592

The billions of rays of "endlight" were drawn and transformed by an even greater force the moment they shone upon the "reincarnation" wheel!

The destructive power contained within the light was cast into the "death" side of the roulette wheel.

But after being transformed by the roulette wheel, what flows out from the "life" aspect is... an endless, incomparably pure life energy! This life energy nourishes the entire new world, making all things within it even more vibrant!
The monstrous afterimage let out a terrified scream. It discovered that its most prized "End" power had become a catalyst for the growth of the other world!

It tried to escape, but it was too late.

A giant wheel of reincarnation slowly rotated, enveloping it.

Under the endless cycle of "life" and "death", this "Lord of the End", who once made countless gods and demons despair, along with its Dao and its unwillingness, was crushed, decomposed, and transformed into a part of the law of "reincarnation".

“No…no…no!!!”

Seeing that the powerful trump cards he summoned not only failed to destroy the opponent, but instead became "nourishment" for the opponent's world, the Will to End finally fell into unprecedented madness and fear!

It finally understood.

The man in front of it wasn't there to fight it at all!
He was... "preaching"!
He is using his own "Tao" to devour, perfect, and encompass the "Tao" of all losers!
What he created was not a simple world, but an unprecedented "reincarnation" system that could accommodate all paths and turn all "ends" into "new life"!
This system, from its very root, is its nemesis!

"Who...who are you?! Where do you come from?! This kind of 'Dao' should not exist in this chaotic sea at all!"

The Will to End uttered a terrified question.

It has devoured countless eras and witnessed the rise and fall of all paths, but it has never seen such a "perfect" path!
It's as if it was born to restrain itself!

Xu Ran didn't answer.

He simply raised his head, his gaze piercing through the barriers of the world, calmly watching the two crimson black holes that were already trembling violently with fear.

His world became more complete and more real after absorbing the "One Path" of the "Source" and the "Path of Destiny" of the "Lord of the End".

In this world, there is not only the rotation of yin and yang and the changing of the four seasons, but also... birth, aging, sickness and death, and the cycle of cause and effect.

It is no longer a phantom prototype, but has taken a solid step towards a truly mature, self-sustaining, and self-evolving universe!
And all of this stems from... its "gift".

"Now, do you still want to continue?"

Xu Ran asked.

"Every time you summon the echo of a loser, you are adding bricks to my world."

“Every time you attack me, you are helping my ‘reincarnation’ to become more perfect.”

"you……"

"Shut up!!!"

The Will to End let out a hysterical roar, interrupting Xu Ran's words.

Its enormous will began to contract violently, and the two crimson black holes that devoured everything began to collapse inwards madly!

It knew that conventional methods were no longer effective against this man.

All its attacks are transformed by that bizarre "reincarnation".

That being the case...

Then... let's perish together!
Do not!
It's not about mutual destruction!

Instead, he used his most fundamental, core, and unchangeable power to detonate the foundation of his world!

Do you really think your 'reincarnation' can encompass everything?

A cold and venomous thought echoed in the void.

"I am 'nothingness'!"

"I am the 'End'!"

"This is my very essence! It is an absolute truth that cannot be transformed, understood, or contained!"

"Your 'reincarnation' is ultimately built on the foundation of 'existence'! Let me, then, completely... reduce the very foundation of your reincarnation to nothingness!"

Om-! ! !
All the darkness, all the deathly silence, all the broken laws, along with the two blood moons filled with endless epochs of resentment, all collapsed madly toward a single point at this moment!

That point had no light, no darkness, and no form whatsoever.

It is... "nothingness".

It is absolute "emptiness".

It is the "ultimate annihilation" where even the concept of extinction no longer exists!
This is the purest and most terrifying strike that the Will of the End has condensed by burning away the accumulation of countless eras and abandoning all the remnant souls and laws it has summoned!
It did not lock Xu Ran's world, nor did it lock Xu Ran himself.

It was targeting the seed in Xu Ran's chest, the seed that had already merged with his soul!
It figured it out!
That world, that man, that bizarre path of "reincarnation"—everything, at its root, comes from that tiny seed!
That is the starting point of "life"!

Once this "starting point" is destroyed, everything built upon it will instantly collapse and vanish into nothingness!
"Die!!!"

There was no earth-shattering momentum, no world-destroying fluctuations.

That point of "absolute nothingness," just like that, silently, crossed the distance of time and space, ignored the barriers of the world, and appeared directly on Xu Ran's chest, imprinting itself on his heart!

At this moment, the entire world that Xu Ran had created stood still.

The wind no longer blows, the river no longer flows, and the sun, moon, and stars are all frozen in the sky.

On the faces of all living things, a blankness, as if about to be completely erased, appeared.

The wheel of reincarnation has stopped spinning.

The laws governing life and death have broken down.

A crack finally appeared on Xu Ran's face, a face that had remained calm for ages.

He lowered his head, looking at the "nothingness" on his chest that kept growing larger, threatening to devour everything he had. He felt his connection with Yao and with this world being severed by an irresistible force.

He could feel that the warm, protective power left by Yao was rapidly dissolving in the face of this "absolute nothingness".

He could even hear the groans of this newly born world, which carried all his hopes, groaning under its unbearable burden.

"So... this is your true self?"

Xu Ran muttered to himself.

Not a violent destruction, but... a cold nothingness.

This is the true face of "the end".

It doesn't reason with you, it doesn't discuss philosophy with you, it simply... erases you.

Eradicate it completely from its very source.

"It's over...the variable..."

The will to end, weakened to its extreme yet carrying a hint of pleasure, slowly resounded.

"Before my 'absolute nothingness,' any 'existence' is...original sin..."
