Chapter 587: Chapter 404: Turns out I am a remnant of the former dynasty!_1
But it was….
The Origin!
The Immortal Cultivation Game Login Device, was actually a strand of the Origin of the Dark Realm’s universe.
To be clear, it was not the origin of some planet or a small world, but a strand of the Origin of the entire Dark Realm Universe Space.
However.
This Origin of the universe of the Dark Realm was not the Origin of the current universe, but the Origin left over from the previous universe.
What does that mean?
The universe also has an age, a lifespan, and it can be said that everything, every entity, has a lifespan.
It’s just that some lifespans are incredibly long, long enough to be negligible to creatures.
For example, the Dark Realm… that is, what humanity refers to as ‘the Universe’
Has a lifespan of fourteen billion years.
The Universe’s lifespan is a full fourteen billion years!
Such an extended lifespan is virtually indistinguishable from infinity for creatures.
One must know.
A Yuan Year is only a mere one hundred and twenty thousand years.
Fourteen billion years, how immense is that number?
Unfortunately… no matter how lengthy the eras, they will invariably wear away and eventually reach their end.
About one hundred and thirty-eight billion years ago.
The previous ‘Universe World’ greeted its fourteenth billion birthday, and on that very day, it exploded with joy.
The law of conservation of energy, even when applied to the lifespan of a universe, holds true.
As the lifespan of the Dark Realm Universe grew short and entropy increased, it could no longer withstand the pressure and exploded on the day of its ‘birthday’.
After the explosion!!
It formed the current universe.
And the origin of his ‘Immortal Cultivation Game Login Device’ came from a strand of the willful Origin left behind after the explosion of the previous Dark Realm Universe.
It is called the ‘Immortal Cultivation Game Login Device’ simply because it was obtained by Xuanqing, and he just happened to be a cultivator.
If a lecher had received this strand of Origin, the name of this device might have been ‘Multiple Children, Multiple Blessings System’ or the ‘Courting Beauties System’ instead.
In short.
Such residual Origins of the universe have no names in themselves and do not need to be measured by names.
…
It was as Xuanqing researched information about the ‘Origin of the universe’ that.
Suddenly.
The prompt sounded once again.
[Friendly Reminder: The Origin of the Dark Realm Universe will fully merge with the host, and your physical body will return to the Origin!]
[Beep… Login Device disintegration in progress, countdown… 10… 9…]
He was not surprised by this outcome; after all, the Login Device was only a manifestation of the Dark Realm Universe’s Origin, not merely an Immortal Cultivation rest Login Device.
But… but… what does it mean that the physical body will return to the Origin?
“Physical body returning to the Origin?”
Xuanqing murmured softly.
And at this moment.
He felt his Chaos Shell undergoing some unknown transformation, evolving towards a state that was formless and intangible.
Dispersing…
Body was dispersing…
…
After a few breaths’ worth of time.
Xuanqing’s physical form completely vanished within the starry sky, entirely gone.
However.
In his mind surged an incredibly strange sensation–he could still feel the starry sky.
As this thought crossed his mind…
Good fortune fell in line with his heart.
He realized.
“I am now this starry sky, this starry sky is me!”
“It turns out… the Xuanqing on Water Blue Star was just a projection born from ‘me’; I am, in fact, the willful Origin left from the previous universe.”
All sorts of thoughts flooded into Xuanqing’s mind like strokes of divine insight.
“No wonder… no wonder the Cultivation Techniques I created were inherently about ‘Devouring and Creating Worlds’; the principles weren’t self-made at all but were recovering the Origin of the previous universe!”
In an instant.
All past events linked together, allowing him to understand that many of the supposed coincidences were not just by chance but were destiny ordained by the universe.
…
Time passed, unmeasured.
“No, this Universe Origin is influencing me!”
Suddenly.
Xuanqing awoke with a start.
He was not the Universe Origin.
Perhaps the former him was the Universe Origin remaining from the destroyed Dark Realm.
But the current him was definitely not the Universe Origin, and he would not be in the future, either.
“I am Xuanqing, born an ordinary human in the Great Yan Kingdom, one who has cultivated step by step!”
“The Origin of the Dark Realm Universe has merged into my body, Xuan, not the other way around!!”
Boom~
Xuanqing’s eyes grew more resolute.
Gradually.
The feeling of ‘I am the Origin’ weakened in his mind, and without stirring up much commotion, it completely disappeared.
“Phew~”
Xuanqing breathed heavily, his eyes revealing a trace of lingering fear.
Just now.
He had almost become lost within the Origin.
It’s worth mentioning.
The incident just now wasn’t some contingency left behind by the ‘Immortal Cultivation Login Device,’ desiring to seize his body or any such trivial drama.
It was merely because his Real World physical body had transformed into a highly pure University Origin and endured a slight and insignificant side effect of Origin erosion.
If it had been the Cultivation Login Device, or the ‘former Universe Origin’ that had moved against him, despite being a half-step away from becoming a True Monarch, he would still have had no chance of resistance.
So… what just happened was an accident, not any plot or contingency!
