Chapter 592: Final Battle V
When the originally stable web of consciousness fused with the Book of Knowledge, it nearly faced the brink of collapse and shattering. Every tiny mental node was wailing, and every interwoven mental thread was trembling, tottering, and on the verge of disintegration.
In an instant, the entire web of consciousness nearly collapsed and shattered. It fundamentally could not bear such a vast source of power.
Lin Xun had raised Chaos Dominion, the Dominion that ruled all Dominions, to supreme+ grade, which was equivalent to raising all the Dominions he possessed, including the web of consciousness, to supreme+ grade as well.
But even Firefly Dominion, which had already reached +18, seemed insignificant and extremely tiny before the divine power carried by Omniscient True Knowledge.
The divine power originating from Omniscient True Knowledge was far too vast and immense, enough to overturn any known structure of existence. The web of consciousness at this moment was like a fragile container. It fundamentally could not bear this powerful pressure and was about to collapse completely at once.
It was also at this moment that the Book of Knowledge burst forth with endless divine power, actively producing a strange fusion with the web of consciousness and actively nourishing the web of consciousness.
Omniscient True Knowledge’s divine power was like spring rain nourishing the soil, actively seeping into every fine mental vein and nourishing that consciousness network woven from threads.
In an instant, countless mental threads bathed in this vast baptism. From weak and unbearable, they instantly became tough as steel. Every consciousness node also grew increasingly firm and solid under the watering of this divine power, like crystal stones that had undergone countless rounds of tempering, flashing with resplendent light.
Only after the web of consciousness was nourished and baptized, and successfully fused with the Book of Knowledge, did Lin Xun personally and tangibly sense just how vast and magnificent Omniscient True Knowledge’s divine power was.
That nearly endless divine power washed through the entire web of consciousness. The depth and breadth of the divine power far surpassed any imagination he had before, like a boundless ocean embracing all things, and also like an endless starry sky, deep and unfathomable.
This divine power was not merely a simple output and supply of power. It also contained endless knowledge, characters, and the true Omniscient Dominion.
All phenomena of the world, the mysteries of life, and the rules of the universe were all contained within this torrent of information…
“Perhaps only after devouring the Divinities of thousands upon thousands of main gods could one possess such vast great power.”
At this moment, Lin Xun gained a realization in his heart.
The fundamental law of the universe that Disorder was irreversible was precisely used to restrain terrifying existences like Omniscient True Knowledge and The Book of Salvation, and it was also a necessary condition for the void universe to continue until now.
When power that was powerful to the extreme, and could devour others to improve itself, had no shackles or restrictions, whether all things would exist and whether the void universe would immediately return to silence would all rest in the single thought of the most powerful one.
The fundamental laws of the universe would not allow such an existence to be produced. If they allowed it, then the current void universe might have long since ceased to exist.
The existence of Disorder was the fundamental law that caused the void universe to operate in an orderly way until now. If the entire void universe had an energy called Order, then defined in its essential meaning, Disorder… was Order!
Lin Xun used Omniscient Dominion and Chaos Dominion to see through all information and attempt to foresee every future…
There was no need to say much about the strength of The Book of Salvation and the Book of Disorder. Even though he used the mutual cooperation of two highest-level Dominions, the futures he foresaw regarding the two were all blurry and hazy.
Those images seemed to be covered by a layer of water mist, and could never be seen clearly.
To defeat the final enemy, an enemy stronger than him and Omniscience, such a future could not be foreseen, could not be previewed, and could not be established.
Lin Xun opened his eyes, and dense characters flashed through them. He said to the Servant of Knowledge, “I already understand all of the administrator’s plans. It is just that the ending of this battle, and the final future, are both unknown variables…”
The Servant of Knowledge looked solemn. He glanced at this world one last time and said, “Let us go. We need to personally experience all this before we can determine the future path.”
Then He transformed into a pure white light and fused into the web of consciousness, entering the Book of Knowledge.
Lin Xun looked at the Moon Goddess beside him, who was pretending to be invisible, and said, “Do you want to live?”
The Moon Goddess’s heart trembled. With a humble and respectful expression, She said, “I do. Whatever instructions You have, I am willing to fully cooperate with You… No, from now on, I am Your humblest and most loyal slave. I will do my utmost to complete every command of Master.”
“Very good. I want your body, your soul… and your death.”
Under the Moon Goddess’s terrified gaze, Lin Xun took out the phone and handed it to Her.
The Moon Goddess trembled all over, but She did not dare resist. She could only tightly grip the strange creation in Her hand to overcome the fear in Her heart.
Lin Xun nodded in satisfaction. “Remember, only death can bring new life.”
Then, on the web of consciousness, he erased the Moon Goddess’s consciousness with endless divine power.
The light in the beautiful woman’s eyes dimmed, and finally She collapsed limply to the ground.
The Moon Goddess’s death precipitated Divinity, and also precipitated the key to the Divine Kingdom of Disorder, a complex and strange mark.
Lin Xun put both away, raised his hand to tear open plane space, and his tall figure entered it and vanished…
In the depths of the vast and boundless universe, in a strange star field of endless cold silence, hundreds of millions of resplendent stars quietly flickered within the eternal river of time.
In this strange star field, a vast gray torrent on the scale of a galaxy surged without cease. Every roll made the void tremble, and countless stars tottered.
Within that gray torrent spread a dense aura of death. It was the materialized manifestation of endless Disorder.
There was no need to directly touch the gray tide. As long as one saw it, sensed it, or even merely recognized the existence of the gray tide, even an extremely powerful god would suffer the corrosion of Disorder.
Within the region wrapped by this gray torrent, there existed a unique star system.
The star system contained thousands upon thousands of Divine Halls and Divine Palaces of different forms. Some were as beautiful as sea-island immortal realms, some were solemn like ancient megalithic temples, and some were mysterious like Egyptian pyramids…
Within these Divine Halls and Divine Palaces existed many Apostles of Disorder and old gods. They originated from different mythological systems and belonged to various legendary eras.
At the core of this star system, a colossal thing shone dazzlingly like a star. Thousands upon thousands of Divine Halls and Divine Palaces revolved around it.
It was an incomparably huge gray book. Endless waves burst and scattered from this book as it operated. It was the terrifying existence birthed by The Book of Salvation, the Book of Disorder!
The true administrator, the location of The Book of Salvation’s consciousness, was inside the Book of Disorder.
At this moment, Lin Xun crossed through the void rift and appeared at the edge of this star system.
The terrifying gray waves surged without cease. The Disorder spreading outward was like gray mist filling the air. Before he had truly stepped into the range of the star system, his soul had already begun to be quietly corroded by the power of Disorder.
If the process of Disorder corroding the soul was like using a pen to doodle and blacken white paper, then the mechanism of Chaos Dominion cleaning up Disorder was an eraser that could continuously erase the marks.
When Lin Xun’s power had still been weak, even though he possessed Chaos Dominion, it would have been difficult for him to resist such a large-scale and violent corrosion of Disorder.
Because the eraser could not restore the image in time before the white paper was blackened, and it could not keep up with the speed at which the white paper was being drawn on at all. Once Disorder tolerance was completely exhausted, one would become a slave of Disorder.
However, the current Lin Xun, under the enhancement of Omniscient True Knowledge’s divine power, had incomparably powerful Chaos Dominion.
Relying on the nearly endless supply of divine power, Chaos Dominion gave Lin Xun the ability to resist large-scale Disorder corrosion.
No matter how violently the gray tide raged, or how fiercely the aura of Disorder wreaked havoc, it could not block his footsteps.
The Disorder gray mist that attempted to corrode his soul dissolved silently into chaos the moment it made contact, like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Xun broke through the blockade of the Disorder tide and directly entered the core region of the star system.
It was also at this moment that a strange feeling arose in the depths of his heart, as if he had jumped into dense and viscous river water, and every movement was affected by something invisible.
It was also like looking at fish swimming in water through a fish tank, giving him a hazy and dazed sensation.
And the future scenes he was sensing and foreseeing all vanished and were cut off!
Lin Xun narrowed his eyes and understood incomparably clearly what this meant.
With his invasion, the powerful existences sleeping in the thousands of Divine Palaces awakened instantly, sensing the intruder’s entry.
From those mysterious and unfathomable Divine Halls, dazzling streams of light broke through the air one after another, condensing into godly images of different forms and majestic presence.
Among them were no small number of existences even more powerful and more terrifying than the thirteen main gods Lin Xun had seen before. They were creator gods within various mythological systems, possessing the supreme great power to create heaven and earth and open worlds. Their might was enough to shake the stars of the heavens.
However, at this moment, Lin Xun’s inner feelings were the complete opposite.
He only felt that these gods were truly pitifully weak.
Lin Xun slightly closed his eyes. Endless divine power surged and rushed within the web of consciousness, and the true Omniscient Dominion was released!
In an instant, a magnificent wondrous scene appeared behind him!
The image of a giant eye like a vast star-body appeared vividly. It stretched across the sky, occupying every corner that vision could reach, and even seeped into the entire boundless star system. Wherever its gaze reached, nothing could hide.
Under the cover of this majestic divine power, whether gods, god kings, or creator gods, all would be unable to escape the fate of being seen through.
Lin Xun analyzed the Dominion structures of countless gods in an instant. Those Dominions that had originally been hidden deep within each god’s soul and had built Their powerful divinity became transparent and clear under his insight.
Vast Dominion powers emerged and poured out one after another, sweeping toward those gods like raging waves and defeating each of Their Dominion powers one by one.
In an instant, the stars dimmed, and the void trembled.
Under Omniscient Dominion’s judgment, the images of the gods shattered one after another, falling in succession and transforming into specks of starlight that dissipated into the void universe…
At the same time, under the definition of Chaos Dominion, streams of Divinity power precipitated out, becoming countless colorful streams of light that gathered toward Lin Xun, fusing into his body like all rivers entering the sea, blending seamlessly with his soul.
The fusion of these Divinity powers made his soul burn like a furnace. Every divine power fluctuation seemed to strike the strings of the void universe, causing the stars to resonate.
His consciousness at this moment was unprecedentedly clear. Countless Dominions and divine powers settled in the depths of his soul, attempting to forge the realm of transcendence…
“Still not enough. It is still far from enough!”
Lin Xun suddenly opened his eyes. That distant and enormous gray book had already appeared before him.
A strange yet familiar figure emerged from within it.
Although Lin Xun had never seen the administrator’s true appearance, who else could this black-robed old man wearing a monocle be if not the administrator?
The colossal Book of Disorder rapidly shrank under the administrator’s control, transforming into an ordinary book in his hand.
The administrator’s gaze swept over the battlefield where the gods had fallen, and not the slightest ripple appeared in his eyes, as if the deaths of the gods under his command were not any major loss to him.
“I once used Fate Authority to preview countless times, but in those countless previews, not once did you stand before me in this way…” The administrator stroked the book in his hand and sighed. “Cooperating with Omniscient True Knowledge, this move of yours truly exceeds expectation.”
“However, even so, you still have no chance of winning… So now, obediently admit defeat and submit.”
The administrator shook his head slightly and looked at Lin Xun with a smile in his eyes. That gaze was like an elder watching a naughty child play and make trouble.
Lin Xun coldly looked at the administrator and did not speak.
The administrator had noticed him a very long time ago.
After all, an Apostle capable of clearing hell difficulty chapters in The Book of Salvation, and even clearing them with high ratings, would find it difficult not to attract attention.
Every time he cleared a chapter, it was with such a high rating. Even those powerful Apostles who had already advanced into the Book of Disorder could not easily do such a thing in their pasts.
The administrator understood that Adaptation Authority alone could not accomplish all this. There was definitely something wrong with his soul Authority.
Therefore, the administrator used Fate Authority to conduct countless previews of him, but still could never see his soul Authority clearly.
Being unable to see it clearly was already enough to prove how powerful this Authority was.
His soul Authority was absolutely not Adaptation Authority, but an existence whose essential level was perhaps even higher than Fate Authority, a strange Authority that might touch transcendence!
However, Lin Xun had appeared too late. Even if he had a Authority that could clean up Disorder, the administrator’s fate had already connected with the Book of Disorder.
When Lin Xun transcended and cleaned up the Disorder of all things, that would be the apocalypse of all Gods of Disorder!
Therefore, after Lin Xun entered his line of sight, a conspiracy began to be formulated and prepared.
Omniscient True Knowledge could not truly obtain Chaos Dominion, but that did not mean the administrator also could not seize this Authority.
The difference between him and Omniscient True Knowledge was Fate Dominion!
More accurately, it lay in the most abnormal ability within Fate Dominion, Fate Connection!
If the administrator wanted to obtain Lin Xun’s Authority and obtain the opportunity that might touch transcendence, he needed to use Fate Connection.
The might of Fate Connection was extremely powerful. Between the two sides, not only could they mutually grant Disorder tolerance, they could even grant Dominions.
But such a powerful ability inevitably had restrictions. Fate Connection had one restriction, which was that the conditions for connecting the fates of both sides and sharing each other’s fate were extremely harsh and difficult.
Fate Connection required both sides to have an extremely close causal connection, just like the administrator using Fate Dominion to connect The Book of Salvation and the Book of Disorder.
The Book of Disorder was birthed by The Book of Salvation. Only because the two originated from the same source could their fates be connected.
As for Lin Xun, he could not directly use Fate Dominion to connect two completely different fates.
The administrator had used The Book of Salvation to cultivate Lin Xun all the way, helping Lin Xun continuously obtain powerful strength. From a newly advanced Apostle who had just entered chapters to legendary, demigod, immortal, eternal, and even supreme, all of it had the administrator’s participation.
Even Lin Xun killing the gods just now and absorbing the Divinities of many gods were within the administrator’s plan.
But even after reaching this degree, the causal connection between the two still lacked the final step, and also the most critical step.
He had participated in Lin Xun’s growth, but he had not yet participated in Lin Xun’s destruction.
Therefore, he would use the Book of Disorder to thoroughly corrode Lin Xun, personally destroying the Apostle he had personally cultivated.
When both life and death were closely related to him, the causal connection between them would become incomparably tight, and he would be able to connect their fates and seize Chaos Dominion, which had already become powerful enough.
The administrator smiled fully and raised the Book of Disorder. That kindly and gentle smile now appeared sinister and terrifying.
“You have no chance of winning. When you entered this star field, you were already inside Fate Dominion’s preview.”
“I, who am far stronger than you, have infinite chances to trial and error, while you only need one failure… and you will be doomed beyond redemption!”
The facts were indeed so. When he entered the gray mist tide, Lin Xun had sensed that he had entered a preview again.
The administrator controlled The Book of Salvation and the Book of Disorder. Although Lin Xun had Omniscient True Knowledge’s help and had absorbed the vast Divinities of the gods, the probability of defeating the enemy was still extremely slim.
But even though the administrator already had victory firmly in his grasp, he still used Fate Dominion’s preview.
During the final decisive battle, only when an ending that satisfied the administrator appeared would he end the preview.
As for Omniscient True Knowledge, His divine power was inferior to the administrator’s, and the Fate Authority He copied was also a weakened version. Before the administrator, Lin Xun could not use Fate Dominion to cancel the preview or end the preview.
The switch button for final victory was in the administrator’s hand.
In this way, the administrator did not have the slightest possibility of losing!
