All-Heavens Game, the Strongest Player

Chapter 386 The Torch Relay Mission Completed, The True Nature of Infinite Beings!

Zulong quickly understood what Chu Xiu meant: the karmic force, so dense it was almost tangible, surged towards the dragons like a tidal wave, instantly engulfing everyone, including Zulong.

The next moment, heavenly tribulation rolled in, and purple divine lightning descended.

It then bombarded the group of dragons.

Zulong subconsciously wanted to use his supernatural powers to block it, but he felt that his magic power suddenly became extremely sluggish and he could not mobilize it no matter what he did.

Even their minds became dull.

His realm also showed signs of decline.

"Who exactly are you? What have you done?" Zu Long asked in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu shook his head without explaining, and simply said, "Now I'm giving your dragon race one last chance: go to the East Sea Eye, block the Ruins of Return, and cleanse your bloodshed!"

At this point, there's no need to say more.

Zu Long's consciousness was somewhat blurred, but his last shred of reason told him that he had to do as he was told immediately.

Otherwise, the dragon race will be doomed.

Therefore, he hurriedly issued an order: "All dragons above the Golden Immortal level shall follow me to the East Sea Eye. The rest shall remain in the Heavenly Court to await orders and shall not disobey!"

Meanwhile, Chu Xiu received a notification to complete the Torch Relay mission and completely replace Haotian.

Actually, it can't be said to replace it.

This Haotian never existed in the first place; it was merely a template left in the system by the "planner" back then. It may not have been fake, but it failed to become real.

Now, having been completely transformed into a subordinate spirit, it has become real.

It exists in relation to Chu Xiu's position.

"There really was something left inside, a fragment of memory. I wonder what it is?" Chu Xiu asked curiously as he opened the memory.

The next moment, he returned to Earth from a first-person perspective.

But not the Earth he left.

Rather, it will happen more than 10,000 years later on Earth.

In 2100, Chu Xiu, already a centenarian, caught the first train of humanity's cracking of the secret to immortality, and was rejuvenated, returning to his youth once again.

It was like a fleeting glance.

Ten thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Over these ten thousand years, human technology has developed rapidly, experiencing explosive growth. In less than ten thousand years, our footprints have spread across the universe, spanning hundreds of billions of light-years.

They have cracked the code for faster-than-light travel.

We have deciphered the genetic code and come to understand the miracle of life.

They reached their limit and also hit a bottleneck, discovering that the universe is not infinite; it is an anomaly in the endless void.

Just as only one intelligent being, humankind, was born in the universe.

These are all isolated cases.

The absence of extraterrestrial civilizations was a stroke of luck for humanity in its early stages, but also a misfortune for it in its later stages, as these extraterrestrials would be forced to live in solitude.

The universe is finite; there are no parallel universes or multiple dimensions.

It stands alone.

The Big Bang has no precedent, but expansion has an end.

Matter has a total quantity.

The world is like a giant cage, utterly boring.

That same year, Chu Xiu, one of the oldest humans, led a team to develop and produce the first "100% simulated" virtual reality game in human history, "Honghuang".

There, the virtual world is so real that you can even have children.

Having just touched the entire universe and discovered how lonely they were, humanity was at a moment of extreme spiritual emptiness, and Chu Xiu's game was born in response.

It was released in just one day, without any advertising, promotion, or support from anyone.

It has attracted billions of players.

After that, it became unstoppable, evolving into a "second world" for humanity, with its peak concurrent online users reaching as high as 99% of all humanity!

Chu Xiu's fortunes also rose accordingly.

He became the richest and most powerful person among mankind, and even the leaders of mankind at that time grew up in his game.

They considered him as half a teacher.

But no one knows that the game, spanning tens of thousands of years, originated from a mere thought of Chu Xiu, simply the cradle from which he created the "perfect paper doll." Its promotion and operation were merely a means to leverage human willpower to make the world feel real.

"So, the mental strength of three thousand mental imprints is exactly the same as the value in the real-world version of the Primordial Era game, but in a world with only mortals, it would require countless people and billions of years?"

The scene then flashes by, and endless years have passed.

Chu Xiu didn't know exactly how long it would take.

All he knew was that the universe, which had expanded to trillions of light-years, was now overcrowded, and the technology of "food recycling" using human excrement to synthesize food had become a hot topic in human society.

Resources are extremely scarce.

At that time, the spiritual power was finally gathered and was about to evolve into the true primordial world.

It was at that moment that Chu Xiu said to the primordial world, "If I don't let go, you won't exist in this world; but if I let go, you will no longer belong to me!"
However, he did not take any action.

The project was halted.

The "realm element" he used to store spiritual energy and to serve as the server for the Primordial World was requisitioned by his own disciple, who also halted the Primordial World Project.

The other party did not use forceful methods.

Because in that era, cutting-edge technology could be transformed into power, and Chu Xiu was one of only two people in all of humanity who had surpassed the level of a "scientific saint".

No one can force him to do anything.

However, another being who surpassed the "scientific saint," his disciple, the human leader, knelt before him and said, "If you do not give up the boundary element, humanity will erupt into an unprecedented turmoil, and even you and I may not be able to suppress it!"

It's not coercion, it's a request.

This is not moral blackmail, but a statement of fact.

In the end, after much contemplation, Chu Xiu chose to use the World Yuan to work with his disciples to modify and fill in the missing multidimensional spacetime in reality.

It has brought endless resources to people.

However, his "Primordial Era," to which he had poured millions of years of effort, was shut down as a result, and the "creator gods and demons" that should have become real were reduced to just a set of data.

And it will never happen again.

Because of the unlimited resources, humanity experienced extreme spiritual emptiness due to extreme material satisfaction, and went extinct at a speed that Chu Xiu and his apprentice could not have imagined!

Intelligent beings no longer exist.

It was at that time that two people who believed themselves to be omnipotent, capable of creating infinite dimensions and generating infinite resources for the universe, discovered that they were unable to create intelligent life!
They can create races, but the races they create do not possess the ability to imagine.

They created a near-perfect "technological prodigy".

However, Chu Xiu discovered that this race was unable to provide him with spiritual power or create a second realm for him.

His "fate" will never allow him to become a real person!
"We are not the creators; we merely transformed spirit into matter. We once touched perfection, but we gave up on it ourselves!"

A voice, both strange and familiar, rang in my ears.

“We cannot give up. We must create a second ‘World Element.’ This time, you will be in charge, and we will proceed according to your ideas!”

In a daze, Chu Xiu seemed to recall the conversation between the master and disciple in the past.

"The abundance of material things has not brought spiritual fulfillment, but rather a greater emptiness! I believe that the true function of the boundary should not be to create infinite worlds and resources, but to bring about an endless spiritual pursuit to fill the spiritual emptiness that humanity is currently facing!"

"This is much harder than having unlimited resources!"

"You're a leader, your concern is survival. But I'm just a game developer who's obsessed with entertainment; I don't need to think about that!"

They were once on the right path, but they missed it.

Then, the screen disappeared.

Chu Xiu heard his own voice: "The past is not important, what matters is the future. Cherish every truly living intelligent being. As long as they are there, even if they are weak, the world lives. But if they are not there, even if you are still alive, the world is already dead!"

Immediately, he withdrew completely.

His gaze fell upon the players who had already coexisted with the wise masters, the players waiting outside the world, and the many players in the river of time who were waiting for the outcome of the match.

They are not tools, but the revival of humanity!
"So I really am not you, because all the heavens and myriad realms are the hope created at the cost of your complete annihilation!"

As for Zhou Wushang, she was neither a god nor a demon.

Rather, it is a miracle born of hope.

"As for the transcendence mark, it is actually myself. The three transcendences bring the primordial world to life, which can activate the power of the mark and truly unlock the talent of 'Infinite Man'!"

The final instance is the mess left behind by "Former Chu Xiu".

"You bore all the costs, letting me enjoy all the good things, but you also left me with all the mess. Isn't that like digging your own grave?"
