The "Survival on the Train" game has bugs, it's really laggy!

The giant eye in deep space, spanning 300,000 kilometers, hovers right in the center of the observation instrument's screen.

It was not an eye in any biological sense, but a mass of extremely compressed black hole matter, in which even light, time, and causality collapsed in absolute nothingness. It had no pupil, no whites of the eye, yet it possessed a "gaze" that would make even higher-dimensional life tremble.

Inside the carriage of the Emperor's Path Devourer, it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Wang Hu's mechanical arm, which had barely regained some sensation from the gravitational collapse, was now emitting an extremely shrill "beep beep" alarm, and the synthetic oil in the hydraulic lines was boiling wildly due to the detection of an incomprehensible spatial curvature. The money-guarding spirit shoved its chubby body deep into the treasure chest, not daring to let a single hair peek out. Little Fire's once gleaming golden vertical pupils had shrunk to pinpoints; its deathly pale face was devoid of color, and its hands were gripping the edge of the center console so tightly that its nails were curled and bleeding.

Faced with such ultimate oppression, even breathing becomes a luxury.

Only Su Yuan.

He remained leaning back in the driver's seat, the dark golden light in his left eye alternating with the pure white halo in his right. He stared directly at the void that could crush stars, the dangerous smile on his lips not fading even slightly.

Just then, the "car" brand on Su Yuan's palm, which had already cooled down, felt a sharp, burning pain again.

A row of glaring, blood-red characters ignored the physical isolation of the "only territory" inside the carriage and were directly imprinted on Su Yuan's retina.

Third Stage Rules: [The End of Echoes]

"To survive under the gaze of the 'Echoes of the End'."

"It is forbidden to erase, devour, or damage the 'Echo' itself in any way."

"Violators will have their records reset to zero."

Su Yuan narrowed his eyes.

The chess player's wicked sense of humor remains as blunt as ever. If you can't win, you can run away, but the current rules are: no fighting, no capturing, and no erasing. This is a doomed problem with all exits welded shut.

The moment the rules were announced, the giant black hole eye officially began its "gaze".

There was no earth-shattering energy burst, nor any gravitational tide tearing through the void. Only an invisible, intangible ripple, moving at a frequency exceeding the speed of light, silently swept across the entire 3,000-kilometer-long star-destroying mothership.

That's the "decay law" at the conceptual level.

The outermost layer of heavy energy-resistant armor on the mothership, made of interstellar alloy strong enough to withstand a stellar storm, did not melt or shatter after this ripple swept over it. Instead, it began to silently "weather." The metallic luster on the armor surface instantly dimmed, and the concept of "solidity" that constituted the material was directly stripped away, turning into flakes of grayish-white powder that peeled off in the void like dandruff, rapidly degenerating into "meaningless dust."

Without any hesitation, Su Yuan's pure white right pupil suddenly shone brightly.

He pushed the concept of "nothingness" to its extreme, and pure white rule patterns spread along the corners of his eyes, attempting to erase the decay law that was eroding the mothership directly from the causal level.

However, a breathtaking scene unfolded.

The pure white light released by Su Yuan, upon contact with the "ultimate nothingness" represented by that giant eye, was like a drop of water falling into a parched desert, without even causing a ripple, and was instantly assimilated and absorbed.

invalid.

This was the first time Su Yuan had encountered a complete failure since acquiring the concept of "nothingness." The sharp blade he used to erase everything was swallowed up directly by a larger and deeper void.

"Ugh—!"

(Please remember the website ①⓪①ⓚⓚⓢ.ⓒⓞⓜ for the fastest chapter updates)

Wang Hu suddenly let out a blood-curdling scream. His thick, mechanical right arm, though unharmed, was spewing sparks and black smoke wildly. The metal parts were losing their "definition as an arm," the gears had turned into twisted blocks of iron, and the hydraulic rods had become meaningless metallic sludge. This agonizing loss of concept was a hundred times more terrifying than simply severing the arm.

"Master! The Devourer's armor... the armor is disappearing!"

Little Fire screamed shrilly. As the train spirit, he could clearly feel that the indestructible obsidian scales of the Emperor's Path Devourer were losing their luster and being peeled away layer by layer by the deathly gray law of decay.

They watched as Su Yuan, once invincible and capable of devouring even the rules of higher dimensions, became utterly helpless against this decay. A despair deeper than facing death gripped their hearts like a persistent, insidious disease. Being killed wasn't the worst part; the worst part was that the traces of their existence were being erased bit by bit.

Just when the atmosphere inside the carriage dropped to freezing point and everyone thought the end of the world was coming.

Su Yuan suddenly chuckled softly.

The laughter sounded particularly abrupt in the deathly silent carriage, carrying a mocking tone as if it had seen through some clumsy trick.

"Can't eat it, can't hit it, can't even erase it..." Su Yuan withdrew the pure white light from his right eye, dispelling all resistance. He reached out and placed his hand on the center console in front of him, his fingertips rhythmically tapping the dark gold panel. "So, you want me to feed it?"

Su Yuan raised his head, and in his dark golden left eye, there was a rationality that was both insane and extreme.

"Small fire."

"Yes...yes!" Little Fire replied, trembling.

"Connect the output valves of the mothership's central power matrix and bring out all the liquid star core energy we just drained, along with all the backup energy sources." Su Yuan's tone was as calm as if he were ordering takeout. "Turn it to maximum power. Spray it at that big eyeball outside."

"What?!" Wang Hu, ignoring the excruciating pain in his robotic arm, jerked his head up, his eyes wide like saucers. "Boss! That thing can even eat light! You're feeding it energy? Isn't that just speeding up its digestion of us? That's suicide!"

Xiao Huo was also pale, but his obedience to Su Yuan was absolute. He gritted his teeth and, with trembling hands, pulled down the blood-red master control lever on the center console.

"The valves... are fully open!"

boom--!

The 3,000-kilometer-long mothership trembled violently. The star-level energy that Su Yuan had just devoured transformed into a thick, pure blue energy torrent, powerful enough to pierce through a planet, and blasted towards the black hole eye 300,000 kilometers away without reservation, following the mothership's main gun firing matrix.

There was no collision and no explosion.

The energy torrent, powerful enough to destroy galaxies, was swallowed up completely the moment it touched the matter of the giant black hole, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.

Wang Hu closed his eyes in pain.

However, the anticipated scenario of accelerated annihilation did not materialize. Su Yuan's dark golden left eye was fixed intently on the image displayed on the observation device.

After absorbing that immense energy, the giant eye's purely lifeless black surface, for the first time ever, rippled with an extremely faint sheen. Although the decay process hadn't slowed down; instead, it had become even more violent due to the stimulation of this energy, and the mothership's bow had begun to collapse and disintegrate on a large scale, at the very center of the spreading ripples—

Su Yuan keenly caught a fleeting glimpse of a structure.

It was a hollow structure resembling a "lock cylinder," composed of countless complex geometric laws.

"I see." Su Yuan's smile widened, revealing his gleaming white teeth. "It looks scary, but it's just an empty shell that hasn't eaten enough. Just feeding it energy won't work; it's a picky eater."

The essence of decay law is to transform "existence" into "non-existence".

But the underlying logic of the One Who Unifies All Things tells Su Yuan that the limit of "nothingness" is "existence".

Su Yuan suddenly stood up and placed both hands on the control panel.

"Nepenthes engine, overload mode, start!"

"Use every last bit of computing power remaining from Zero AI, leave not a single drop!"

The dark gold vines at the bottom of the carriage writhed wildly, emitting a teeth-grinding grinding sound. Su Yuan did not choose to devour the giant eye outside, but instead poured all the massive amount of biomass stored in the mothership, the metal wreckage of 100,000 Judgment Mechs, the law fragments of Zero AI, and all the remaining high-dimensional energy into the pitcher plant engine.

But this time, he did not choose to "digest and absorb".

"Since you want to end everything..." Su Yuan pushed his supernatural abilities to the limit, his entire body even beginning to slightly blur, "Then I'll give you an impossible 'beginning'!"

On the system panel, the icon of "The One Who Unifies All Things" burst forth with dazzling golden light.

Su Yuan forcibly reversed the process of absorption. He was using an immense amount of computing power and resources to conduct a super-fast "reverse evolution." He forcefully crushed, compressed, and recombined all the resources representing different rules and material properties.

Ten seconds later.

In front of the Emperor's Path Devourer, a ball of light, only the size of a fist, slowly condensed in the void.

The sphere of light had no color, or rather, it contained all colors. It emitted no energy fluctuations, yet it caused the surrounding spatial laws to groan in unbearable agony.

That was a [Seed of Creation] that represented absolute "beginning" and "possibility".

Su Yuan raised his right hand.

The "car" brand on his palm burst forth with an unprecedentedly intense white light at this moment.

The causal privilege of the "vehicle": it travels in an absolutely straight line. Once the starting point and the destination are marked, no barrier can stop it.

"Target: the 'lock core' in the middle of that big eyeball."

Su Yuan pointed his finger forward.

Eat your fill.

Swah——

There was no earth-shattering roar, nor any trail of the universe being torn apart. Enveloped by the law of causality, the Seed of Creation ignored the extremely distorted gravitational field surrounding the black hole's giant eye, ignored the spatial curvature from which even light could not escape, and directly traversed a distance of 300,000 kilometers, precisely penetrating the "lock core" structure at the core of the giant eye.

one second.

two seconds.

Inside the carriage, the decay law's erosion abruptly ceased. The peeling wreckage of the mothership hovered eerily in the void.

Wang Hu and Xiao Huo collapsed to the ground, staring dumbfounded at the observation instrument.

The matter within the black hole, spanning 300,000 kilometers, suddenly began to collapse silently inward. But this collapse differed from the previous destruction. When the ultimate "Echo of the End" encountered the ultimate "Seed of Creation," the two triggered an absolute paradox and mutual annihilation at the logical level in this void.

The black hole's giant eye shrank by tens of thousands of times in just a few seconds.

Until it collapses into an infinitely small singularity.

then.

boom--!!!

It wasn't the roar of sound, but a shock that exploded directly into the depths of the soul.

A ray of primordial light, indescribable in any language, suddenly burst forth at the location where the giant eye of the black hole had been!

Where the light swept across, the dust remaining in the void was redefined. Hydrogen, helium, heavy elements... basic matter was rapidly synthesized in the light. A breathtakingly beautiful nebula was thus "blasted" out of nothingness right before everyone's eyes.

Stardust gathers, stars twinkle.

The faint yet tenacious breath of nascent life pulses deep within this newborn nebula.

Su Yuan not only broke the deadly trap, but he also used a bunch of high-dimensional scrap metal to personally "feed" a brand new galaxy in this desolate corner of the universe!

"bite."

The system panel on Su Yuan's retina refreshed rapidly, and the waterfall of data finally settled into a line of dazzling dark gold text:

[The One Who Unifies All Things (Core Talent) experiences a high-dimensional disturbance, giving rise to entirely new branch laws—]

[Gaining Authority: Creation and Evolution (Mythical Level)]

Meanwhile, countless light-years away from here.

Headquarters of the Interstellar Parliament's High-Dimensional Arbitration Tribunal.

Inside that magnificent council hall, suspended at the intersection of dimensions, there was such a deathly silence that even time seemed to have been frozen.

The eleven supreme elders, who had lived for over fifty million years and controlled the life and death of one-third of the civilizations in the universe, were all staring blankly at the holographic sand table in the center, which was fifty meters in diameter, as if they were clay or wooden sculptures.

On the sand table, the coordinates that originally belonged to the Seventh Fleet when it lost contact should have been a completely desolate ruin.

But now, real-time data from the Hyperspace Observatory is outlining a rapidly rotating, forming new nebula.

Without any intervention from the cosmological constant or the involvement of a creator-level force, a standard galaxy was born in less than a minute.

"This...is impossible..." An elder's voice was hoarse, as if it had been sanded, and his hand holding the Scepter of Law was trembling violently and uncontrollably.

"Creation...this is an act of creation..."

The entire room fell silent. This was no longer fear of an individual virus, but rather awe and trembling at a high-risk phenomenon that had completely overturned their understanding of the world.

……

Inside the carriage of the Emperor's Path Devourer.

The soft, pure light of the newborn nebula shone through the car window and fell on Su Yuan's face, illuminating one half of his face as sacred and inviolable, while the other half was hidden in dark golden shadows.

He slowly raised his right hand.

The geometric mark representing a "car" on the palm was slowly fading under the morning light. In its place, countless fine, blood-red lines intertwined again, outlining a more complex and mysterious pattern—

That's the "bishop" (or "bishop") in chess.

But strangely, in the center of this newly emerged mark, there is an extremely clear crack, as if it had been cleaved by a sharp blade.

The chess player's voice echoed once again in the deepest part of Su Yuan's mind.

This time, the voice no longer held any condescending amusement or mocking sarcasm. Instead, it carried an extremely rare and chilling solemnity.

"Congratulations, Su Yuan."

"You've passed the qualifying round."

"Now... welcome to the real game."

The chess player paused, a chilling laugh escaping his lips as if awaiting execution: "However, I must remind you. The coordinates you just created, that overly sweet scent of creation, have already extended the grandest invitation to 'them'."

Su Yuan's smile faded.

He turned to look at the observation instrument.

Deep within that newly born, breathtakingly beautiful nebula, a newly formed star, whose nuclear fusion had just been ignited, is visibly dimming its brilliance.

It's not extinguished.

Instead, a shadow so enormous that its entirety cannot be observed by existing instruments is emerging from a spatial rift in a higher dimension, slowly and completely obscuring the star.
