Chapter 948 The More Correct Correct (5400, Second Update)

The first to arrive was a cluster of colors so complex it defied description.

Within these colors, countless worlds and stars rose and fell.

These worlds were of varying sizes, some dead and silent, others vibrant and alive, some highly spiritual, others devoid of spirit, some orderly, others chaotic… His own existence was itself an entire cluster of worlds, a vast, infinite multiverse starscape. Those billions upon billions of worlds were, in fact, all 'Him' alone. Entering any world was entering Himself.

Therefore, the size of a world was meaningless, the height of its quality was meaningless, its breadth and insignificance were meaningless, the quantity of things was meaningless. Everything within Him, all meaning, was bestowed by Him, existed by virtue of Him.

His Dao was One, and it was All.

It was the universe, the sentient beings, the myriad things; it was also self, life, and meaning.

Its name was [Torrent of Unification · Taiyi Hunyuan].

The second to arrive was a structure so intricate and immense as to be inconceivable.

This structure transcended space and time, existing in the void as pure concept and information.

Within this vast structure, infinite worlds were rotating, growing, interacting with other worlds, and the beings within them were emerging, communicating, living, dying, and then being reborn in reincarnation… And this structure was responsible for regulating everything. The cycle of the Five Elements was reincarnation, the Four Great Elements were also reincarnation, birth, continuation, and destruction were reincarnation, yin and yang, life and death were reincarnation, everything was reincarnation, even the development, prosperity, transcendence, or decline of civilizations was part of reincarnation, an object guided, maintained, and observed by this structure.

Even the entire structure itself was constantly undergoing a process of partial death and termination, replacing itself with other newborn parts… The entire gigantic structure was like a 'cycle of existence and nothingness' that was self-annihilating and self-reproducing!

His Dao was maintenance, continuation, and reincarnation, it was propagation and death, it was the human world and the underworld.

It was observation and guidance, it was transcendence and silence.

Its name was [Torrent of Reincarnation · Infinite Perpetual Return].

The third to arrive was a page of paper, impossible to say whether it was large or small, densely packed with an immense quantity of written words.

It was said to be large, yet it was extremely insignificant, because its words were the most humble of things. Even microbes and viruses had their own choices, information recorded in DNA. Even light quantum life had its decision-making logic gates completely inscribed on this page.

It was said to be small, yet it was extremely vast, because the future, the direction of billions upon billions of worlds, and even the more macro 'settings' and 'destiny' had already been set on this page. Whether it was destruction or rebirth, transcendence or extinction, everything had already been written to its conclusion, unchangeable.

He wrote everything, but generously entrusted the right to write the subsequent parts of this page to all beings. He inscribed the direction of fate, but the writer put down his pen, leaving it blank.

His Dao was destiny, it was fate, it was the future and rules, it was order and foundation, it was also heavenly law and domination.

But still, He left the final blank, waiting for a successor to write it.

Its name was [Torrent of Destiny · The Writer/The Blank Leaver].

The fourth to arrive was a hazy, dreamlike universe, like a flower in the mist, a reflection in the water.

Although this universe was only one entity, it was infinite, because its existence itself was a corridor of mirrors reflected by two mirrors, and in one reflected universe phantom after another, many incredible things were floating, emerging, sprouting from non-existent possibilities, like fairytale candy houses and grand sci-fi spectacles.

This mirror was replication, it was creation, and it was also a dreamy blur. It was real and it was false, it was copying and it was completely new.

Creation itself was meaning. Its creations were reassembled in accordance with the rules of heaven and earth, just as ships and airplanes followed the laws of physics, but were completely new creations compared to birds and fish. If elevated to the perspective of the world, the perspective of the Great Dao, how should the existence that could create a completely new Great Dao and create any strange prop at will develop and reorganize its new creations?

The answer was imagination, it was fantasy, it was arrogance and extravagance, it was the possibility of 'what if', it was 'willful' imagination!

This was the master of fairy tales and fantasy, a collection of countless reflections in the mirror, both true and dream.

Its name was [Torrent of Creation · The Whimsical Creator].

The fifth to arrive was a complete great universe surrounded by fragments of countless worlds and stars.

This universe was already the prototype of a multiverse. Infinite power was spreading within it, creating one new world plane after another, and the many time-spaces surrounding it were reflections of the infinite time-spaces within it, false projections, but also existing in the world.

The beings in the false fragments constituted one plane after another, repeating the same cycle of time and space, but they produced genuine props and resources, and these beings in the false world fragments, if they had enough opportunities, could also shed their identities and become members of the real world. And the individuals designed in the real world could also gain real power and experience by experiencing these false design fragments again and again.

The imagination of the real world created infinite world fragments, and then used its own power to turn these false dream fragments into reality, and then turn them into a part of its own power—this encompassed all the Great Daos, both reality and falsehood, both dream and imagination, both reincarnation and transcendence, and both destiny and blank space…

It was existence.

This was [Torrent of Existence · True World].

The vast, irresistible, and invincible Great Dao fluctuations converged towards Su Zhou's location, covering all space-time energy levels, and even the angle of time flow.

The torrent from the Sanmichen District, upholding the 'Dao of Unification', 'Taiyi Hunyuan'.

The torrent from the Suming Thick Earth, upholding the 'Dao of Reincarnation', 'Infinite Perpetual Return'.

The torrent that created the Great Prophecy Book cycle, upholding the 'Dao of Destiny', 'The Writer/Blank Leaver'.

The torrent from the Illusory Realm, upholding the 'Dao of Creation', 'The Whimsical Creator'.

The torrent from the Misty Sea of Taixu, upholding the 'Dao of Existence', 'True World'.

And finally… the torrent from the Hountian Realm, upholding the 'Dao of Sacrifice', 'Five Supreme Saints'.

Su Zhou looked around at the six torrents that had already surrounded him.

Six correctnesses.

Yes, sacrifice… was a shortcut, a wrong path, a fork in the road.

But it was also correct.

If there really was no choice.

If one was really not strong enough.

If there was really no other way.

If, really, truly, life had nothing but life, and there was no room for resistance.

Then, the sacrifice of life was also a helpless correctness.

Especially when others offered their heartfelt dedication, to sacrifice for a better tomorrow, to sacrifice for the clear sky behind the dark haze, to sacrifice for the hope and happiness behind suffering, who could stop them?

It could no longer be done…

Unless, one could be more correct than sacrifice.

Just like now.

The Five Supreme Saints, and the five torrents that supported them, surrounded Su Zhou.

Obviously, the five torrents all supported the Five Supreme Saints in continuing the seal.

This was 'normal'.

How terrifying was the Multiverse True Spirit? Its existence itself possessed the 'Three Elements', possessing 'Absolute', 'Eternal', and 'Infinite' at the same time, and the power of all beings was its power. All causes and effects were related to it, being both the cause of all fruits and the fruit of all causes.

What's more, the sealed multiverse was born because of the Great Seal, unique and powerful from the beginning, but imprisoned… The entire multiverse itself was subordinate to the seal, moss on this super-multivariate structure, and also a sealed and imprisoned object.

It should be known that, in the final analysis, the Great Seal was also a prison.

Although it existed in the pan-infinite multivariate derivative axis, it could hardly communicate with other multiverses… Otherwise, what would be the effect of the seal?

Su Zhou felt that its madness was completely understandable—if he was imprisoned in a cage as soon as he was born, then his True Spirit, even if it was not crazy, would inevitably want to 'break free' from all seals.

However, the foundation of the entire sealed multiverse was built on the Great Seal. Forcibly breaking free was equivalent to shattering all one's bones and internal organs, turning into a pile of mud, so that one could break free from the cage.

This was also why the sealed multiverse needed a Transcender to support it, otherwise it would disintegrate itself.

Now thinking about it, Su Zhou, who knew the truth about the sealed multiverse and the essence of the Great Existence, understood somewhat why the Multiverse True Spirit would become a taboo.

"It's nothing more than the pursuit of 'freedom'."

Su Zhou sighed and was not surprised.

Absolute freedom was not a good thing, because it meant no restraint, no rules, no concept that could be connected.

In other words, it was a void, complete nothingness.

The Multiverse True Spirit showed 'complete freedom' from the moment it was born, that is, the characteristic of being absolutely uncontrollable, coupled with an absolutely infinite volume, it was the torrent of 'absolute and infinite'.

When it was fully awakened, sublimating the essence of its multiverse, and promoting its existence to the eternity of self-existence.

That would be a Transcender who transcended the multiverse and spread infinitely.

That was also why it would clear Hountian as soon as it was born, because Hountian's summons and rituals, no matter what experiments they were, would interfere with the Multiverse True Spirit's freedom… If it was an ordinary Multiverse True Spirit, it would naturally not care, it would not mind being a nanny to take care of all beings, but this one was the True Spirit of the sealed multiverse!

The so-called freedom of this True Spirit was precisely the 'ultimate nothingness' that completely destroyed everything, even its own existence!

The moment it became a Transcender… was the moment it became a 'monster of freedom'!

In fact, it was mainly because of the original world of Yala, the group of Old Hountian people seeking death… They had been controlling the Hountian Realm to flow along the center of the multiverse, that is, the place where the Multiverse True Spirit was conceived and born, which accelerated the formation of the True Spirit.

Although this acceleration was not a good thing, it caused the True Spirit to have a weak self-will even after it took shape, giving the later generations the conditions to seal it… but if it wasn't accelerated, this would not have happened at all!

Su Zhou knew that the Five Supreme Saints definitely could not guess so many twists and turns, but the Qian Yuan Dao Zun must have also understood that the existence of 'taboos' would cause the demise of all things in the multiverse, so he stayed in Hountian, set up a seal, and attempted to block the possibility of the multiverse continuing to perfect the True Spirit, which was also the First Era of today.

Qian Yuan Dao Zun sealed the 'concept' and 'time-space', so that the Multiverse True Spirit had no place to stand, but even in the blur, the Multiverse True Spirit was still the True Spirit of the 'Multiverse'. He urged the birth of the innate demon gods, eroding the beginning and end of the timeline, and born himself from all concepts of the past and future.

Therefore, the Second Supreme Saint, the Polar Star Holy Emperor, managed spiritual energy, sealed the timeline, and blocked the Multiverse True Spirit's contamination of all spiritual energy in the past and future.

Being sealed with concepts, time-space, spiritual energy, and the past and future, the Multiverse True Spirit penetrated into infinite parallel worlds, intending to turn the virtual into reality and reverse the 'relative existence', re-creating 'real history', and the Third Supreme Saint, the Exhaustive Source Sage, appeared from the impossible, setting up an anchor for real time-space, and withstood this backlash from infinite parallel time-space.

Next, the Multiverse True Spirit planned to rely on the possibility that 'all things in the multiverse are also the multiverse', and attempt to force the Supreme Saints to choose to 'kill all beings' or 'take all beings representing the Multiverse True Spirit and escape from the dead universe' by cutting off all physical phenomena, and was once again strengthened by the Fourth Supreme Saint, the Holy Evolution Immortal, with the power of his own and many Hedao 'dedications'. In this way, all life in Hountian, and even conceptual existence, was part of the seal.

And in the current Fifth Era, the Multiverse True Spirit plans to rely on the concept that 'every change inside the multiverse is the activity of the multiverse itself' to make the seal itself become a part of itself… After all, in the final analysis, the Multiverse True Spirit represents the entire multiverse, and the Five Supreme Saints are also a part of the multiverse, not to mention other seals and ordinary people.

But this time, the Fifth Supreme Saint, the Unknowing Awakener, used sacrifice as the final seal.

The Unknowing Awakener, this life originating from karma, used 'voluntary extinction' and 'resentful transcendence' as two locks of 'self-destruction' and 'transcendence' to lock the current Multiverse True Spirit.

These five layers of seals, together with Hountian, received the support of all the torrents who came upon hearing the news.

Each layer of seal has a corresponding torrent anchored in the infinite time-space of the multiverse.

And Hountian is the core.

Su Zhou looked around at the other five torrents.

He could see that whether it was Taiyi Hunyuan or Infinite Perpetual Return; whether it was the Writer/Blank Leaver, or the Whimsical Creator, or the True World, they were the 'Five Supreme Saints' in a larger time-space, located in the void.

When the Five Supreme Saints are destroyed due to an accident, these five torrents will instantly activate their full power, spread their own Great Dao fluctuations, and suppress the entire multiverse. With infinite brute force, they will forcibly imprison the multiverse itself.

The Multiverse True Spirit is naturally no exception.

But at that time… the number of people sacrificed will change from the magnitude of the Hountian Realm to the magnitude of the multiverse.

After all, what the Five Supreme Saints have done can be said to be forcibly preventing a person in a coma from waking up.

And the future responsibility of the five torrents is to forcibly hold a madman in bed.

These five layers of seals rely on the power of all things in the multiverse to restrain the multiverse itself, and are theoretically perfect.

The Fifth Era is the final era of Hountian, and there will be no subsequent timeline. This is the 'eternal sacrifice', so it can be 'eternal seal'.

It was also because the Multiverse True Spirit's will was blurred and not awake, that Qian Yuan Dao Zun and the other Supreme Saints found the opportunity to perfect the seal and suppress it back again and again. Otherwise, the other five torrents would not have had time to prepare for the even greater seal in the future.

Six torrents surrounded one torrent.

There was no language between them, because their wills already knew each other's every purpose.

[Primal Torch Dragon, are you still persisting?]

The somewhat sad voice of the Five Supreme Saints could be heard: [Why must you persist? If you are added, if there is one more torrent to support, our seal will be more complete, so that there will be fewer sacrifices in the future.]

[Do you really think that you can shoulder the responsibility for the survival of the entire multiverse?]

"Do I have the courage and determination to take on the responsibility?"

As for the sorrow and persuasion of the Five Supreme Saints, Su Zhou just shook his head slightly.

At this moment, he said to himself with some emotion: "To be honest, if you want me to say that I believe that I can shoulder the survival of the multiverse and this responsibility, I myself don't believe it very much."

"However, I am very clear that if you want to solve the problem, now is the fastest and simplest time—wait until the second generation, the third generation, and even later taboos appear, and then someone sacrifices to seal them. By that time, it will become more difficult to seek the truth!"

"Even, it is possible that the second generation of taboos will absorb all the lessons learned from the first generation the moment it appears, and will not give you time to seal them at all—this is also possible, isn't it?"

Just like the second generation of cosmic will in the World of Genesis, the moment it appeared, it brainwashed the entire Imperial Balance Dao that wanted to seal it. All the gods became minions and subordinates of the cosmic will.

Learning from the past, Su Zhou did not think that he was absolutely correct, and naturally did not think that the Five Supreme Saints' plan was really perfect.

Even with the addition of the Five Torrents, it was the same.

As for why… isn't the answer very simple?

"Even the Great Seal that imprisoned the thirteen Great Existences has been broken free, I really don't look favorably on anything called a seal."

Saying this, Su Zhou relaxed instead, and said with a smile: "...Unless you think you can be stronger than the Great Existence, and more complete than the Great Seal."

"More correct than them."

So, he walked forward, without the slightest hesitation.

"I believe in all my choices and am willing to bear them, even if my body dies and my Dao perishes."

"Believe me—I have the Annihilation Seal of the Final Cycle in my hand, and in my Torch Dragon Heaven, there are the Celestial God Caliber and the Galaxy Star. My Torch Dragon Heaven is a small Great Seal! It is definitely not inferior to the fivefold seal you have built!"

The body of the god-man was glowing—from the inside out.

His voice became lofty and solemn, like the chorus of billions upon billions of gods: "If I fail, then I will sacrifice myself, and I will suppress the Multiverse True Spirit! Whether it is you, or all the beings in Hountian, you will all usher in freedom!"

"—And you, go and become a torrent, go and try to become a Transcender, go and find a new correctness, and completely solve this problem!"

The light bloomed in the void, illuminating the endless dark night in the surrounding void, as if ushering in the daytime.

That was the Scale of Bearing the World, the Blood of Immortality, the Soul of Imperishability… All the great inheritances that Su Zhou had mastered were, at this moment, driven to the extreme by the youth.

Similarly, the other many torrents, as well as the Five Supreme Saints, also began to drive all the power they possessed to the extreme.

The light spread, endlessly, boundlessly, without beginning and without end.

"Come on!"

Su Zhou said.

This time, he would give it his all.

This time, they would all give it their all.

——In order to decide the future.

——In order to decide survival.

——In order to decide freedom or not.

——In order to decide to no longer sacrifice.

——In order to, in order to decide.

——Who.

——Is the more correct correctness——
