Zheng Xiu, who was soaked in high-density filth, had a feeling of "death" at the moment when he crushed the "correction" power.

His consciousness seemed to be taken away and inhaled somewhere for an instant. He had no time to think, and his thoughts were blank.

When he opened his eyes again, Zheng Xiu found himself in a strange space.

The colorful space fragments sometimes squeeze each other, sometimes break like glass, and sometimes spread out like ink.

The dazzling special effects like a kaleidoscope did not make Zheng Xiu feel "dazzled".

He watched everything in front of him quietly.

This feeling is like when the human soul leaves the body, everything is silent and the five senses are empty.

Soon, Zheng Xiu first felt a strong "sense of strangeness". The surrounding space fragments sometimes squeezed towards him and sometimes moved away from him. Zheng Xiu felt a sense of being "ostracized" and "alienated".

But soon, this feeling strangely turned into a "sense of familiarity."

Zheng Xiu can be sure that he has never seen such scenery and has never been here, but this "familiarity" transcends "memory" and goes beyond "impression". It is like a kind of "memory" A deeper, more distant "intuition" than reincarnation, it's like... he originally came from here.

In a trance, Zheng Xiu's consciousness floated in a certain direction quickly and slowly.

Obviously this space has no reference, no sense of time and space, but Zheng Xiu vaguely sensed that when he was looking at the scenery "here", he was approaching "something", no, To be precise, it was "something" that took the initiative to approach him who entered this place.

finally.

I do not know how long it has been.

Zheng Xiu came to a place that could not be described in words. It was like a small dot, a white hole, a celestial body, and in a blink of an eye, it was like a blurry human face.

The distorted existence is constantly changing the image of "him" in front of Zheng Xiu. Wow! During the "distortion", a continuous stream of small red flowers suddenly appeared, as bright as blood; in a very short moment, the continuous growing red flowers staged a short life of sprouting, budding, blooming and withering in front of Zheng Xiu.

During the life and death of the flowers, the magnificent bubbles were flashing, and inside were flashing scenes like a revolving lantern.

That's a world.

Worlds in ruins, corpses that no one cares about, gods with decaying bodies, babies who died in despair before they were born, people who prayed to the gods in grief but received no response and finally withered. Believers who died sitting there, hills that have lost their luster, lakes that have been dried up, temples that have collapsed...

Zheng Xiu soon understood that the pictures flashing in the bubble were people and gods from different worlds, or that they died in this "catastrophe" in different corners of the four quadrants... Everything.

Zheng Xiu's heart was full of mixed feelings, not just taste. Although he had already known that in the vast sea of ​​​​origins, in every universe, in every world, apart from them, there were no other living "creatures", not even a small one. ants.

Zhigui knew that at that moment, "all things" seemed to have accelerated hundreds of millions of times and "died" again in front of Zheng Xiu. He witnessed all this, this catastrophe, and despair was once again enveloped. Zheng Xiu.

The feeling of receiving such huge "information," "destruction," and "despair" in such a short period of time is unimaginable to anyone. He could even clearly tell of a certain couple among "all things" who froze to death holding hands. They cuddled up to each other before dying and said "If there is an afterlife..." in their respective ears;

He could even count the tens of thousands of believers in the picture, who knelt down and prayed to the gods in front of landslides and tsunamis. How many wrinkles were there on their faces, how many tears were there, how many people were crying, and how many people were crying. Embracing each other in the doomsday, how many people cursed the gods they once believed in at the last moment.

When such dense and clear information entered Zheng Xiu's brain, Zheng Xiu could not accept it. But for some reason, Zheng Xiu didn't feel any discomfort. He easily carried this "despair" and "the death of all things".

Zheng Xiu felt incredible, but it was indeed true.

The flowers experienced a life and death, new buds emerged again, and flowers bloomed again. This time, Zheng Xiu saw a familiar picture in the bubbles.

The bubbles are like going back in time, reversing time and playing what Zheng Xiu has experienced;

The death of his brothers; they encountered a rat tide in Fengbei Divine Kingdom; the moment he became a god; he repaired the loopholes in the thousand-year reincarnation; every bit of his life in Zheng's house; he sat quietly under the eaves in Fengbei and admired the moon ; He and Feng Bei spent an illusory ten years in cannibalism; the moments when he got along with Feng Bei as a bad boy or Zheng Shan...

There were various scenes, some were sad, some were cheerful, some were deep, and some were helpless. At the end of the movie, Zheng Xiu smiled. This was the first time that he saw his life and past going backwards, like watching a movie.

At the very end, the scene in the bubble flashed and was completely frozen:

A heavy rainstorm of lead, man-eating white carp, flowers on the other side, ink light and shadow, the girl stretched out her hand to the sky in the filthy mire, Zheng Xiu, who looked like a demon, descended from the sky and held the cursed thin hand.

The picture is frozen, either for a moment or for eternity.

bass.

The squeezing, ink, twisting, collapsing, and constantly "moving" space around them is frozen and condensed into an instant.

The magnificent and strange broken space turned into a pure white space in the blink of an eye.

Countless transparent streams of light composed of small characters "1" and "0" wash slowly from top to bottom.

Zheng Xiu's naked body was spotless, as pure as a newborn baby. He sat in the corner of this pure white space, calmly stretched out his palms, and let the light wash through his palms.

Zheng Xiu soon realized that he was not physically present here at this moment. The physical body he "saw" was actually outlined by countless streams of light, as if integrated with the washed streams of light, and would soon become indistinguishable from each other.

He sat motionless.

"You don't seem surprised by this."

A disembodied voice sounded.

"I'm surprised. But here, the emotion of 'surprise' is very redundant, so I'm not surprised anymore."

Zheng Xiu shook his head slowly, looking up at the white void. He actually didn't know where the source of this ethereal sound was, but he felt that the source of this sound was everywhere. No matter where he looked, even if he looked at his own palm, there would be a "look" at it. a feeling of.

"Is there a problem?"

Zheng Xiu thought for a while and nodded: "Yes."

"You ask, 'we' answer."

Zheng Xiu was silent.

After a while, he smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't know what to ask for a moment. It was like, after I thought about it for a moment, the answers to many questions already appeared."

"Okay, then, let 'us' ask the question."

"..."

"'We', what is it?"

Zheng Xiu sighed softly: "The 'End' was once chased by countless gods and masters, but could not be obtained after asking for it. At a certain period, it actively approached all things but was hidden...'The End'."

"correct answer."

"In different eras, in different quadrants, in different time and space, in different worlds, in different universes, we have different names."

"one,"

"Complete,"

"truth,"

"The end,"

"unlimited,"

"road,"

"All things,"

"only,"

"Supreme,"

"Law,"

"We are 'all', and at the same time we are 'us', 'I' and 'you'."

Zheng Xiu was silent. What surprised him was that Zheng Xiu digested such obscure words easily.

It was as if Zheng Xiu had already understood it once the "end" said these words.

What a convenient place.

If you want to describe it, Zheng Xiu sitting here is like sitting in front of a super database. In front of him is a record of the origin of all things, the past, the present, and the future. No matter what question he asks, he can find it in the "database" The corresponding answer was found in .

Zheng Xiu calmly asked: "Can you lie?"

"'Lying' means nothing to 'us'. It means nothing to you either."

"Meaning... haha. Then let me ask you, what is 'I'?"

"The 'omniscient and omnipotent' that is about to be born is also the 'truth', the 'only', the 'whole', the 'Dharma', and the 'Tao'. You are about to become 'us'."

"What about Fengbei?"

"...'Nothingness'. The 'existence' that should not exist but actually exists. Her principle links 'omniscient', 'entropy', and 'variables'. Now, it was created and was once named 'Cher' , after undergoing the incomplete 'reincarnation' correction, the individual named 'Fengbei' was interfered with and became an 'extinction factor', the initiator of the 'mass extinction', she will destroy everything in one day."

"During that 'time artifact', you came into contact with the 'Extinction Factor' for a moment, and you were linked to her. From then on, your every move was interfered with by the Extinction Factor."

"Now you should be able to understand that your encounter with the 'Extinction Factor' and your story with the 'Extinction Factor' are just 'mistakes' that you made step by step under the guidance of 'fate'."

"You who are trapped by 'fate' should be able to understand the pain of being trapped by 'fate' better than anyone else."

"'Fate' guided you here, and you are qualified to be 'transcendent'."

Zheng Xiu lowered his head and stared at the stream of light passing through his palm. He wanted to think that "The End" was lying, but the funny thing was that Zheng Xiu understood that his love and encounter with Feng Bei all originated from that encounter. , that "link", the story between him and her originated from that moment of contact.

Zheng Xiu was silent for a long time and then asked:

"So, where's Shirley?"

"Emergency plans."

"Um?"

"As an 'emergency plan', she will become 'omniscient and omnipotent' at the moment when the 'mass extinction' starts. And you arrived here before the 'emergency plan'. And you who arrived here should have the 'answer' '."

Zheng Xiu nodded, with a look of realization on his face: "I am the 'answer'."

suddenly,

A pure white door appeared in front of Zheng Xiu out of thin air.

The door is ajar, with a slight crack and a little glow.

"time to go."

"The new 'unknown' is waiting for you."

Zheng Xiu read the "database". He almost understood "everything", understood "destiny", and saw the "origin". The moment he read the database, Zheng Xiu could say that this sea of ​​​​origin was already in disarray with the four major The Quadrant has almost no secrets for him.

then,

"unknown",

This seemingly ordinary word seemed to have infinite attraction for Zheng Xiu at this moment. He walked little by little towards the depths of the distortion, holding the doorknob in his hand.

"..."

When he was about to open the door, Zheng Xiu paused.

"you……"

Zheng Xiu paused and smiled suddenly:

"No, 'you', what are you nervous about?"

Zheng Xiu removed his hand from the door handle.

"Actually, I was thinking about a question just now."

"Supposedly there would be an answer to every question here, but I can't think of one."

"Then there are only two possibilities, either 'you' deliberately deleted it, or...'omniscient' is actually not as 'omniscient' as I thought."

"Can you answer me?"

Zheng Xiu squinted his eyes and stared into the void.

"..."

"The first question is, have there been other beings before me who have been here?"

"..."

The voice didn't answer, but it didn't answer. For Zheng Xiu, it was already an answer.

He lowered his head and thought.

"Here", at the "end", in front of the "database", Zheng Xiu "thought" so seriously for the first time. This was something that was not needed here, so Zheng Xiu picked it up again.

"So, someone has been here before."

"You may have said the same words, and the same door appeared in front of him. Behind the door, it was also the same, leading to the 'unknown' that he or I, for a moment, longed for so much. , it’s a whole new world.”

Zheng Xiu smiled: "Then, the second question, why is there an 'emergency plan'?"

"..."

"ah……"

Before the voice could react, Zheng Xiu had already figured it out: "Then, before I arrived here, the 'former' who arrived here rejected 'you' and refused to become 'omniscience and omnipotence'."

"you are wrong."

That ethereal voice finally spoke again:

"He has become 'all-knowing and all-powerful'."

"That's why there's a 'mass extinction'."

"So he didn't go through the door, right?"

Zheng Xiu murmured to himself:

"Yeah, I see, that makes sense."

"Omniscient and omnipotent, it is not as you wish to leave here and step out of this door."

"That's why the 'emergency plan' emerged."

Zheng Xiu closed his eyes: "But precisely because there is an 'emergency plan', it means that 'you' are not as 'all-powerful' as 'you' just said. Otherwise, there would be no need for an 'emergency plan'." "

"From the beginning, in the 'destiny' you set, I was not the best candidate for 'omniscient and omnipotent'."

"An accident happened."

Zheng Xiu smiled slightly: "I finally understand now."

"Authority reveals the original heart and leads to destiny. My 'correction'... it has always been like this, vague and erratic."

"I was born... a 'variable' after the established 'fate' derailed."

"Fengbei, as the 'extinction factor', is connected to 'omniscience and omnipotence', 'entropy', and 'I'."

Bundles of black light are particularly dazzling in this pure white world, tearing apart everything here like chaos.

The black stream of light surged into Zheng Xiu's consciousness and reorganized Zheng Xiu's body.

Zheng Xiu's long black hair was fluttering like a demon. When he opened his eyes, black light washed down.

"I am not omniscient and omnipotent, and I cannot be omniscient and omnipotent. 'I' am me, 'he' is him, and I am destined to be 'me'."

"A 'variable'."

"A... variable that can lead to the second ending."

Zheng Xiu reached out and grasped the handle on the door.

"You will regret this."

"Shhh."

Zheng Xiu smiled slightly, put his index finger on his lips, and whispered:

"I'm asking you,"

"Do you have a second emergency plan?"

"you--"

"You should have."

Zheng Xiu twisted his wrist and the door twisted and deformed.

He completely welded the door shut.

Zheng Xiu moved outward quickly, one step at a time, and each step collapsed. Everything behind him was turning into nothingness in pieces at a terrifying speed.

"From now on, there is no more 'fate'."
