Spellcasting Gods

No one knows what this oval-shaped ball of light is; all that is known is that it may contain a great secret and treasure.

It might be profound and incomprehensible knowledge, or it might be a destructive weapon left behind by a creator. In any case, no civilization would allow any other civilization besides itself to obtain it.

These civilizations, enduring immense sacrifices and casualties, were completely unaware that at this very moment, their every move was exposed to the sight of the two creators, including even their thoughts and inner thoughts.

……

"Interesting! You actually chose the chaotic rules full of uncertainty to create life and civilization. Tell me, what made you make such a foolish decision?" Byron looked down at the war that spanned different dimensions.

Without a doubt, the so-called "treasure" actually contained nothing at all; it was merely a trigger, a tool used to instigate war.

His real goal, however, was to settle the score with his only rival.

As the creator, Byron could no longer unleash his power as recklessly as before, otherwise the order and rules he had painstakingly established would collapse in a very short time, and everything would return to nothingness and chaos.

So after much deliberation, the two decided to use another method to verify whose idea was more correct and whose power was greater.

Unfortunately, these civilizations that were conceived in the new universe naturally became pawns to be manipulated and fooled.

"Chaos means uncertainty! It means infinite possibilities! It can be good or bad, vibrant or desolate. In short, without enough chaotic rules, the life and even the universe you create will be incomplete, unable to reach the ceiling. I admit that, judging from the current progress of the war, your civilization clearly has an absolute advantage, but don't forget, uncertainty also means miracles can happen, just like how I, a being from the old three-dimensional universe, can now stand here and compete with you." Zhang Cheng replied casually.

Through that last string that pierced through the ravages of the old universe, he could clearly see that the civilization he had nurtured was in retreat, and was even about to lose its last line of defense.

Interestingly, a young commander who originally held little power suddenly launched a coup, seized command of the Combined Fleet, and then launched a counterattack with lightning speed.

Under his bold, even insane, strategic and tactical guidance, the massive fleet, which had previously given up hope and was planning to retreat, once again unleashed unprecedented combat power, and soon drove the enemy out of its original territory.

For a moment, the intense war seemed to have returned to square one.

Seeing this, Byron raised his eyebrows in surprise and said in a half-joking tone, "This is the miracle you were talking about? Unbelievable!"

Zhang Cheng smiled and nodded: "That's right! This is the power of miracles. You must understand that there is a constantly changing curve between order and chaos. When it falls to a low point, it will certainly produce indescribable disasters and despair, but once it reaches its peak, almost nothing can stop it. So this war will last a very long time, and may even produce countless geniuses and heroes. Perhaps you and I will never be able to determine a winner."

"An interesting point of view! You might be right; we'll never be able to determine a winner this way. But that doesn't seem so bad, at least we can both see each other's ultimate understanding of the universe through the war. Through competition, you and I will gradually understand our full potential and then feel the opportunity for the next evolution and self-transcendence."

When he said these words, Byron made no attempt to hide his insatiable and restless spirit.

He was not satisfied with having transcended the limitations of being a ruler, nor did he stop there.

On the contrary, he had already set his sights on the distant future.

"Ah! It seems you've noticed it too, haven't you?" Zhang Cheng smiled meaningfully.

Since the new universe stabilized, he could vaguely sense that there seemed to be some unknown region outside the shattered spiritual world.

However, with his current strength and level of life, he is far from meeting the prerequisites for entry.

This is similar to how many less advanced civilizations, upon first gaining a correct understanding of the universe, begin to fantasize about what lies at the end of it.

A wall?

A mirror?

An endless expanse of darkness?

Or is it the void that distorts everything?

When cognition reaches a certain limit, one can often perceive things that others overlook.

In Zhang Cheng's eyes, evolution is a never-ending process. You either get eliminated in the process or you forge ahead. No matter what you encounter ahead, you must keep going.

"Hahaha! Of course! How could I not feel it! Perhaps you and I aren't alone; maybe our evolutionary journey has only just begun. How about it, are you interested in maintaining this relationship that is both competitive and cooperative?"

"Of course! It would be my pleasure!"
