Da Qin: Conquer all heavens and all realms

Chapter 340: The Truth of the Universe, Chess Player Awakens

The afterlife universe has now turned into a chaotic battlefield.

The pressure of the Rebirth Taoist Ancestor, who was the incarnation of the origin of the universe, and the authority of the Creation Emperor, who created something out of nothing, collided with each other, turning the space and time of the entire universe into a mess.

However, in the center of this storm of destruction and creation, Ying Zheng felt unprecedentedly insignificant.

The "Dharma Realm" that he was proud of, which was powerful enough to suppress the afterlife universe, was like a child's toy under the gentle gaze of the Emperor of Creation, so fragile that it could not withstand a single blow.

He could clearly sense that the other party's existence itself was a kind of "rule" of a higher dimension.

The Creator is not an exercise of power; He is a manifestation of power.

This reminded him of the feeling of powerlessness he had felt when facing the God, but the gap at this moment was more than ten thousand times!

"Am I...still so weak?"

Ying Zheng gripped the "Huang" sword tightly, his knuckles turning white from the strain. After a thousand years of battle, unifying the world, legislating for the afterlife, he had believed himself to be at the pinnacle of the universe. But now he realized he might have only just glimpsed the cosmic truth.

At this moment, the voice of the Creator Emperor, like a huge bell, resounded directly in the depths of Ying Zheng's consciousness, and also penetrated the noise of the confrontation with the Taoist Ancestor of Rebirth.

"Weak? No, you just don't know how big the stage you're standing on is."

The gaze of the Emperor of Creation seemed to penetrate billions of years and look into the indescribable depths.

"Do you want to know the truth behind all this? Do you want to know why you awakened the will of the Primordial Emperor? Do you want to know what role this afterlife universe you're in plays in the entire universe?"

Ying Zheng remained silent, his actions providing the answer. He sheathed all his edge and pride, standing quietly there like a pure sponge, ready to absorb the impending torrent that would overturn all cognition.

Daozu Wangsheng also stopped his attack. He was also attracted by the words of the Creation Emperor, and his eyes were full of confusion and shock.

He claimed to be the will of the incarnation universe and the "Tao" of this world, but at this moment, he felt that everything he knew was just a ridiculous lie.

The Emperor of Creation spoke slowly. His voice was plain, but it contained the great power of the creation of the world. He slowly unfolded a vast and boundless picture of the universe in front of Ying Zheng and the Taoist Ancestor of Rebirth.

"The beginning of everything comes from 'nothingness'."

"It is the source of everything, immeasurable, indescribable, immeasurable, and inconceivable. We call it the 'Originator of Nothingness'."

"Within 'nothingness', there is still 'nothingness'. It does exist, but it cannot be seen, heard, felt, or known. We call it - 'the beginning of nothingness'. It is an eternal existence, the starting point of all things."

"From the 'beginning of nothingness,' countless and inconceivable 'points' were born. Each 'point' is the embryo of a universe. The universe we live in, as well as countless universes beyond our imagination, all originated from this. The collection of these universes, we call it the 'primordial universe.'"

"The 'Primordial Universe' slowly evolved within the vast void, undergoing countless eons before finally taking shape. It is immeasurable, boundless, yet within that endless 'Beginning of Nothingness', it is but a tiny, insignificant part."

"After countless billions of years, the 'Primordial Universe' finally developed intelligence and became the first cosmic being to possess self-awareness. He is the 'Universal Primordial Dao Ancestor'."

"However, the 'Original Dao Ancestor of the Universe' is but one of the spiritual intelligences born from that immeasurable 'point.' They are separated by the vast void, invisible, inaudible, and unknowable to each other."

Ying Zheng's heart shattered upon hearing this. The will of the entire universe was only "one"? Just how vast were the myriad worlds?

The Creator Emperor continued, "The Primordial Universe evolved for countless eons. From this chaos, immeasurable Primordial Gods emerged. Upon their birth, they were gifted from the very origin of the universe—the Primordial Divine Artifact. They were the original Primordial Emperors."

"These emperors were born powerful. They attacked each other, and the wars continued. Countless branches of the pantheon evolved, and they established their own divine vein system. This is the 'Original Pantheon'."

"In this protracted battle for supremacy among the divine systems, a figure suddenly emerged. He proved his truth with force, and shattered all laws with his martial arts. He severely damaged all other divine systems. Even the 'Universe Yuanshi Daozu', who created the 'Original Universe', was helpless against him!"

"After the war, he proclaimed himself the 'Great Emperor Yuanshi'!"

"Emperor Yuanshi..."

Ying Zheng murmured to himself, this name seemed to carry a throbbing from the depths of his soul.

"Yes, Primordial Emperor." The eyes of the Creator Emperor revealed boundless remembrance and reverence. "He is the master of the fifteen emperors, the sole and supreme emperor of the entire Primordial God system!"

"However, after reaching the pinnacle, Emperor Yuanshi felt an unprecedented loneliness and confusion. To explore the ultimate secret of the 'Origin of Nothingness', he embarked on a solo expedition against 'Nothingness'. From then on, he disappeared, or perhaps... he perished completely."

"And the true 'Huang', the companion Primordial Divine Artifact of the Great Emperor Yuanshi, also disappeared. No one in the Primordial God System knew of its whereabouts, not even the 'Universe Primordial Dao Ancestor'."

"After the disappearance of Yuanshi Great Emperor, we fifteen Yuanshi Emperors have been restraining and balancing each other, guarding the order of the Yuanshi Universe. We are: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth; Time, Space, Reincarnation, Life, Destruction, Rules, Order, Creation, Cause and Effect, and Destiny."

Having said that, the Creator's gaze fell on the "Huang" sword in Ying Zheng's hand.

"The 'Huang' in your hand isn't a true Primordial Divine Artifact, but rather a ray of guidance and a trace of his will, left behind in you by the Great Emperor Yuanshi. You are his chosen successor, his most important chess piece in the myriad realms!"

Ying Zheng's breathing stopped instantly.

It turns out that everything about him, his rise, his hegemony, were not accidental!

He, from the very beginning, stood on the shoulders of giants!

"Then...what about the Taichu Universe and the Milky Way Universe?" Ying Zheng forced himself to calm down and asked the most crucial question.

"This brings us to the 'Universe Primordial Dao Ancestor,'" the Creation Emperor's tone was a bit complex. "He couldn't stand the fighting among us Primordial Gods, so he mobilized the power of the universe's origin and separated two new universes. These two universes are immeasurably and unfathomably distant from the 'Primordial Universe.' We call them the 'Primordial Universe' and the 'Galaxy Universe.'"

"We, the fifteen Great Primordial Emperors, have grasped the intentions of the Primordial Dao Ancestor. To maintain balance and monitor these two newly born universes, we have condensed two avatars and traveled there separately. They are the 'Primordial Emperor' and the 'Galaxy Emperor'."

"At that time, the Taichu Universe and the Milky Way Universe had not yet developed their own spiritual intelligence."

"After countless billions of years, these two universes finally gave birth to spiritual intelligence and became the 'Taichu Daozu' and the 'Yinhe Daozu'. And the clones we left behind also naturally became their protectors."

"Later, the Taichu Universe and the Yinhe Universe, like the Yuanshi Universe, evolved their own pantheons—the 'Taichu Pantheon' and the 'Yinghe Pantheon'. In the struggle for supremacy within their respective pantheons, a distinguished 'Taichu Emperor' and 'Yinghe Emperor' were born, respectively. At their peak, they too felt a calling and left their respective universes, their whereabouts unknown."

The story of the creation of the Emperor ends here.

The framework of the entire universe was clearly presented in front of Ying Zheng.

The beginning of nothingness → Yuanshi Universe (Yuanshi Daozu, Yuanshi Great Emperor, Fifteen Yuanshi Emperors) → Taichu Universe (Taichu Daozu, Taichu Emperor) Yinhe Universe (Yinhe Daozu, Yinhe Emperor).

Among the three supreme pantheons, the Primordial Pantheon is the most respected, followed by the Primordial Pantheon and the Milky Way Pantheon.

This is a cosmic structure that is nested layer by layer, like a Russian nesting doll!

And he himself, Ying Zheng, a mortal from the "Blue Sky World", actually had a connection with the "Emperor Yuanshi" at the top of the universe!

"Then..." Ying Zheng's gaze finally fell on the ashen-faced Daoist Ancestor, "What about him?"

The Emperor of Creation sighed and looked at the Ancestor of Rebirth with a hint of pity in his eyes.

"He was created by the 'Taichu Daozu'."

"What?!" Ying Zheng and Wangsheng Daozu lost their voices at the same time.

"In order to study the ultimate mysteries of 'life' and 'soul', the Dao Ancestor Taichu used a strand of his own essence, combined with the laws of the 'Original Universe', to create a special 'testing ground'. This testing ground is specifically designed to accommodate those souls that have perished in various universes but refused to remain silent, allowing them to 'pass away' here and start anew."

"This testing ground is the 'Rebirth Universe'!"

"And you, Dao Ancestor Wangsheng, are the 'Administrator' created by Dao Ancestor Taichu to manage this testing ground. You think you are the will of the universe, but you don't know that from the moment you were born, you were just a 'tool'."

boom!

These words, like the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, exploded directly in the sea of ​​consciousness of the Taoist Ancestor of Rebirth!

All his pride, all his dignity, and all the meaning of his existence were completely shattered at this moment!

He is not the Taoist Patriarch, he is just an... administrator?

A program created by higher beings to manage the "Soul Recycling Bin"?

"No...impossible...I am the master of the Rebirth Universe! I am the Tao! I am the law!" The Rebirth Taoist Ancestor roared madly, his body began to collapse, because his Tao heart had been completely shattered.

The Creation Emperor did not look at him again, but turned his gaze back to Ying Zheng, his eyes becoming extremely serious.

"Now, do you understand?"

"The Yuanshi Great Emperor disappeared, and the Taichu Emperor and Yinhe Emperor also disappeared one after another. This is by no means accidental. There seems to be an invisible hand behind this, driving everything."

"You, as the successor of the Yuanshi Great Emperor, your appearance has disrupted the balance between the three major divine systems. Your rise, your 'Great Qin Heavenly Law', is integrating the power of various universes in an unprecedented way."

"This is not only the plan of the Yuanshi Great Emperor, but also a declaration of war against all beings who covet the secret of 'nothingness'!"

"You are no longer a simple conqueror."

"You are the most crucial player in this ultimate chess game that spans the heavens and the universe!"

"Your enemy is no longer a God or a Daoist ancestor."

"Your enemy could be another Primordial Emperor, the Dao Ancestor of Taichu, the Dao Ancestor of Yinhe, or even... the 'Origin of Nothingness' itself, the one hiding behind the scenes that even the Primordial Emperor is trying to find!"

Ying Zheng was silent.

The "Huang" sword in his hand seemed to sense the waves in his heart and made a clear sword sound.

He looked up at the deep starry sky that seemed to contain all the mysteries.

After thousands of years of fighting, he thought he was conquering the world.

Now he realized that he was just stepping onto the real battlefield.

From today on, his journey is no longer to the stars and the sea.

But... nothingness!
