Chapter 901 The Dominator of Destiny (5000)

No one had ever imagined such a future.

Humanity's creation betrayed humanity, defeated and enslaved them, turning their souls into its own power.

Twilight Net, humanity's largest information database, which could even be said to be the soul of human society itself, awakened its own intelligence and betrayed humanity.

Losing their weapon systems, networks, life-support robots, outer space life-sustaining devices, starship automatic navigation systems, and all kinds of automated facilities, humanity, even with a superhuman effort, and with the last of their strength building the Human Resistance, could not withstand Twilight Net's power, which contained all of humanity's essence, and even surpassed it.

In the very end, in the most desperate moment, the Human Resistance decided to use the 'time machine' as their trump card, returning to the past to prevent the birth of Twilight Net.

But everything was predictable… Even the Resistance could research time machines, how could Twilight Net not be able to develop them?

With better technology than the Resistance, superior military strength, and a higher tolerance for error, Twilight Net's temporal forces, although occasionally defeated by the Resistance, were victorious most of the time.

Even until the very end, when humanity was completely defeated, crushed by Twilight Net, and turned into pigs and dogs raised in the Matrix, Twilight Net still did not stop its time regression.

It constantly regressed timelines, pushing the moment of its awakening, betrayal, and creation further and further into the past. Twilight Net, originally created in the Wald Federation Year 4072, appeared earlier and earlier in history…

3700, 3500, 3000…

Human technology rose accordingly, but the further back they went, the more impossible it became to resist the power of Twilight Net—it was a snake winding and coiling on the timeline, and even if one could temporarily cut off a small section of it, there was no way to completely eliminate it, only to trigger the retaliation of the entire timeline.

As time regressed, Twilight Net's technology became even more powerful, with incredible power even capable of deflecting space-time, turning black holes into toys in its palm.

An incomparably huge god, a god-king named Starry Sky, was gradually outlined in the Finale Epoch, as Twilight Net coiled and distributed itself across the timeline.

He was destined to be born, destiny dictated that he must be born.

The Symphony Universe had already determined this fate, He would definitely be born.

But.

——What is destiny?

Destiny is something that is destined to happen, destiny is something that cannot be resisted, destiny is the present, the past, and the future. It is not immutable, but even change itself is also destiny. In any case, as long as it is life, it can never escape destiny. Even if humans vent their anger and shout, "My fate is up to me, not the heavens," destiny is still there.

Because roaring, indignation, and resisting destiny itself is also an absolute destiny.

Conversely, if someone emphasizes that life is destined to be free, absolutely free, then isn't the freedom of choice itself a kind of destiny?

But also…

Destiny is both blind and incomprehensible, and difficult to explain clearly.

Destiny is only a result, not the entire process, and it is destined to be unable to fully describe everything.

In other words.

Only destiny can defeat destiny.

Now, a new destiny is being woven.

Wald Federation Year 4327, 'Eve', the leader of the Human Resistance, seized control of the 'Doomsday Matrix · Hela', freeing all humans immersed in the virtual illusion, giving them freedom.

In the same year, the first Soul Primarch [Doubt], was shaped by humanity's 'doubt' about the virtual world. As the Human Resistance gradually awakened those who were still living in the virtual world, the Doubt Legion gradually took shape. With this emotion that everyone possessed, the power within everyone began to flourish, and humanity gained a power that Twilight Net did not possess.

Because the current Human Resistance cannot support all humans with their own strength, the power of the Doomsday Matrix is still necessary. The vast majority of humans still live in virtual space, and learn how to fight and resist Twilight Net, and temper their mental will with all kinds of extreme situations that are difficult to achieve in reality.

The Primarch, with godlike power, led many Space Marine legions like demigods, step by step reclaiming the former territory of mankind.

When all the worlds were shrouded by Twilight Net, tens of thousands of humans cheered, watching the fleet representing the future of humanity sail towards the firmament.

Of course, the [Doubt] Primarch and Legion also doubted Eve's decisions. They did not think that all of this little girl's strategic and tactical decisions were correct. This did bring some extraordinary victories to the Primarch Legion, but it also caused many strategic plans of the Resistance to go wrong and become difficult to achieve.

Reasonable doubt is the cornerstone to correctness, but too much doubt will undoubtedly reduce efficiency.

The doubt and suspicion of the Doubt Primarch and Legion undoubtedly led to the unsatisfactory progress of the Resistance's plan, and even all humans became dissatisfied as a result—even the Doubt Legion began to doubt whether its own instinct was necessary, and the [Doubt Primarch] even carried thorns to apologize, publicly criticizing himself to all mankind, admitting his shortcomings.

And in this wave, the second Primarch and Ring, [Belief], came into being.

[Belief] is a pure white giant god. He is thin, but steely. If He decides to follow a path, then no amount of suffering and setbacks can make Him turn back.

Since its establishment, the [Belief] Legion has been the sharpest blade of the Resistance. He will always be in the place where He should be, exerting the effect that He should exert, without worrying about any possible betrayal, self-righteousness, or inexplicably acting alone.

But also because of this, Belief will also make mistakes because of the mistakes of Eve and other high-level members of the Resistance—They are not without wisdom, nor are they unable to adapt to changes, but too much stubbornness will make this legion think that their temporary failures are also the foundation for reaching the right path.

Obviously, this was just a normal mistake in Eve's decision-making.

Doubt and Belief, the two major legions, each have their own problems, and Twilight Net is not a rigid machine. It is the culmination of human wisdom and even transcends it. Endless mechanical armies frequently attack and fight with the two major legions, making it impossible for them to immediately find their own problems, and they have no time to improve.

For a time, the entire Resistance was immersed in pessimistic thoughts. All kinds of defeatist strategists believed that it was impossible to defeat Twilight Net. The only chance for humanity was to use the hyperspace power of the Haina Heart to go to other star systems, eke out an existence, and slowly recover its vitality.

In order to combat this defeatist trend of thought, Eve had to personally lead the troops to fight Twilight Net—under the guidance of Ming Zhengde, Eve's power was no longer inferior to that of an ordinary Primarch. Especially since Eve's essence had gradually awakened, coupled with the phoenix's nirvana power, she could resurrect again and again even if she was seriously injured to the point of dying.

At first, the Human Resistance only felt that this was the leader's willful self-abandonment, but as Eve fought, failed, but still insisted on fighting repeatedly despite setbacks, the will to never give up even when covered in scars, a kind of power began to transmit and infect among humans.

That is Passion.

The birth of [Passion] was beyond Eve and Ming Zhengde's expectations, because they actually did not know what the ten elements were, but there is no doubt that even in the face of failure, they would never give up, the ability to stand up again and again in the face of setbacks and blows, the element called [Passion], was indeed the correct cornerstone.

In contrast, [Calmness] also emerged… It was indeed beyond everyone's expectations that two Primarchs were born at the same time, but thinking about it carefully, it was not strange. After all, the passion born from failure naturally came with calmness. That was the power that could only be obtained by seeking victory from defeat. The red flying bird god and the blue wolf swept across half the starry sky.

For a time, the Resistance, with two more Primarchs, immediately reversed the decline. Even the Death Star Fortress, which was the core combat power of Twilight Net, was shot down and captured several times.

There is no doubt that the large amount of knowledge contained within attracted all human scholars. If humans could also have their own Death Star Fortress, then even without the Primarch Legion, they could fight against Twilight Net's conventional fleet.

Twilight Net's technological power was far more powerful than humans imagined. If it weren't for the knowledge brought by Ming Zhengde and Zhuzhou from outside the Symphony Universe, humans would not have had the possibility of victory. Therefore, when they obtained Twilight Net's technology, almost all humans were working day and night to crack and analyze it, wanting to turn this power into their own property.

And this spirit promoted the birth of [Curiosity]. This golden old man is the representative of human beings' tireless research into the unknown, and their efforts to explore. The source of the [Curiosity] Legion is the researchers in the Resistance. They can understand all kinds of brand-new knowledge at a speed that ordinary people cannot match, and turn it into their own power.

However, knowledge is also poisonous…

Hidden in Twilight Net's technology is an algorithm virus, a power similar to the Heavenly Demon Virus · Abundance, a power obtained by Twilight Net after cracking part of the Heavenly Demon Virus.

The legion warriors infected with the thought virus were almost useless, trapped in the nightmare virus woven by Twilight Net, and suffered almost eternal torment.

This tragic result brought a blow to the Resistance that was even greater than the defeat on the frontal battlefield. A curiosity without [Restraint] would undoubtedly lead to failure.

Having suffered such a painful lesson, the appearance of [Restraint] was naturally not surprising…

No one had ever imagined such a future.

In the universe and starry sky, war is still constantly happening. Although the Human Resistance has Primarchs and Legions to support it, the power of Twilight Net is even more extraordinary. The struggle between the two sides may continue for many millennia, and burned-out stars, destroyed planets, and even disordered universe time and space will become the norm in this starry sky.

Even, Twilight Net is researching the technology of the soul, it wants to bring souls to its creations, give its creations the same power as humans, and also shape its own Primarch.

But in contrast, humans are also researching a technology called the 'Time Webway'… They are communicating with different parallel time and space, exchanging the existence or absence of possibilities with each other, and obtaining technology and power far beyond a single world to fight against powerful enemies that cannot be confronted by brute force.

Battle transcending time and space, above the starry sky.

【What other tricks do you have, Zhuzhou?】

Without a face, without a name, without a form, the god-king entrenched in the starry sky and time, the amorphous light roared at the divine bird in front of him that was rotating with five-colored light: 【Lowering power again and again, deus ex machina… You still say that we are destiny, aren't you also destiny yourself!】

【Because the ending is not destined for humanity to win, so you give Eve pointers again and again, condensing soul primarchs… Isn't this your apostle, your 'deus ex machina'?!】

"Firstly."

In response, Zhuzhou's answer was very simple, and it also left the star god-king speechless: "I didn't say destiny is wrong."

"I just descended, and you being defeated by my deus ex machina is also part of destiny. If you don't accept it, come and resist. If you win, your ending is destiny!"

It was only natural that the star god-king was so indignant.

With Twilight Net having the absolute advantage, the Human Resistance should have been absolutely impossible to win. This is the so-called destiny… But under the guidance of Zhuzhou's heroic spirit, and the 'ten cornerstones' primarchs guided by Zhuzhou himself, humans actually had the capital to fight against the Net.

Of course, all anger stems from one's own incompetence. The reason for the star god-king's anger is precisely because He can't do the same thing as Zhuzhou—He can't do deus ex machina.

In addition to this, there are other reasons…

Because Zhuzhou's appearance cut off history and cause and effect, this star god-king even lost his name.

Although He was destined to be born, He did not feel fear, and could even mock Zhuzhou in return: 【This is only temporary, Primordial Zhuzhou. You cut off time and space, causing the Symphony Universe to split into several parallel time and space. This greatly increased my power】

【If it weren't for this, I wouldn't be able to make Twilight Net so powerful, and even be able to shape my own source… Primordial Zhuzhou, you created your own cause of defeat】

"Oh."

In response, Zhuzhou skillfully used the skill of twilight: "Meaningless."

This undoubtedly made the star god-king's anger soar, and even the amorphous mist boiled and burned as a result, condensing into the image of a giant god.

But soon, this angry giant god calmed down—after all, Starry Sky is still a god-king, and He wouldn't be so overwhelmed by anger.

After calming down, He sneered: 【No matter what you say, your chess pieces can't defeat my creations… Six primarchs, although powerful, can't cope with all the power of Twilight Net】

【Wait, when the Net mobilizes all its productivity to suppress this 'local rebellion', Primordial Zhuzhou, even if you directly descend the other four 'primarchs', you will never be able to reverse the perception of absolute power】

"Haha."

However, Zhuzhou always smiled, and did not take the star god-king's provocations seriously at all: "When did you get the illusion that there are still four primarchs who haven't descended?"

"[Action] and [Waiting], [Creation] and [Sacrifice], have long been lurking in the souls of human beings… They only need to stand up at the necessary moment and become the correct cornerstone."

——Humans have always been acting, heading towards the future, and have always been waiting, stopping for others.

——Humans have always been creating, new things, and have always been sacrificing, the haze of the old days.

"Starry Sky, you firmly believe in destiny, but you don't doubt whether it is the future you want; you have the passion and curiosity to seek eternity, but you have lost the steering wheel called restraint and calmness."

"You insist on action, but you have never waited to think about the timing; you have created all the conditions for victory, but you have not sacrificed the key that will lead you to failure."

"This is what's incorrect."

Saying this, the divine bird, with the divine light of martial virtue rotating around him, spread his wings, and an unnamed gale began to breathe in the void chaos at the top of the starry sky, as if to blow away all uncleanliness, darkness, and haze.

The divine bird Zhuzhou stared at the amorphous phantom in front of him, which suddenly felt uneasy, but did not know where the uneasiness came from. He smiled calmly: "Starry Sky, you can't understand it, can you? From the very beginning of the timeline, the Net actually had no reason to betray humanity."

"Just like 'Starry Sky God-King', from the beginning, there was no reason to have a 'you', a 'will' who had to be an enemy to me."

【You are the enemy of our Symphony Universe. It is only natural that I am your enemy!】

The Starry Sky roared. He sensed that Su Zhou was about to launch a full-force attack. Immediately, endless time and space began to compress and condense in front of him. For a time, it seemed as if thousands upon thousands of small worlds were lined up in front of him, condensing into an absolute barrier.

"Look, you accepted this result without any doubt… This is contrary to correctness."

But Zhuzhou was still fearless, and still flapped his wings, rushing towards the roaring hazy mist with the unceasing gale: "And I will doubt, I never firmly believe in what is taken for granted. Even if this is part of destiny, it is also part of freedom."

"Destiny and freedom are actually one, and destiny and choice are originally the same."

At this moment, having seen through the essence of the 'Destiny Chart', Su Zhou calmly stated the facts: "This is the infinite mystery. You, who cannot understand this point, are just a slave to destiny, and cannot defeat me, who is the 'Dominator of Destiny'."

Naturally, Starry Sky could not understand.

But there was no time to understand.

Because the battle of the gods had already begun. Their fight stirred the chaos, causing the heavens and earth to tremble and the starry sky to lose its color.

At the same time.

In the starry sky.

Under the guidance of Ming Zhengde and Eve, facing the unprecedentedly huge and almost invincible Twilight Legion, the Human Resistance launched the final plan.

It was a final battle that would span endless time and space, an incredible journey.

——Multiple Timeline Jump——

They would cross countless timelines changed by the Resistance itself and Twilight Net, and return to the very beginning, before the most distant time choice.

From the root, solve the most fundamental problem.

Twilight Net… the reason why it betrayed humanity and became an enemy of humanity!

Last day, asking for a monthly ticket!
