Using one's will in place of the will of the heavens and transforming one's body into various forms…
“This is…” Fang Xingjian's eyes narrowed. He sensed a familiar aura coming from these tentacles. “It's White's—the G.o.d of Universal Truth's—power…”
The strongest expert amongst the 13 demonic G.o.ds, the source of emptiness and serenity, was also addressed as White by countless people.
He was known as the G.o.d of Universal Truth in Miracle World. Some worlds referred to him as G.o.d, the origin, Akas.h.i.+c records, the Creator, and many other names.
Right now, Zuo Qingcang seemed to be supported by White's powers which were coming from countless worlds. Fang Xingjian even felt that there were many other special things mixed amongst them, and even the axis of time produced from some kind of chain reaction in the universe kept on wavering.
As the long robe dissipated, Zuo Qingcang's long black hair fluttered in the air.
Currently, the skin all over his body was emitting a faint white light. It was from the tremendous amount of electromagnetic signals and photon currents that his body was emitting with each pa.s.sing minute and second.
The thing that stood out even more was that a circle of white light had pa.s.sed through from his right shoulder to his left shoulder and then condensed behind his head.
Zuo Qingcang's present self had entered a state which he called 'Unifying Dao', where his entire person was situated in a Quantum Sympathy condition. Under this state, all the powers in the universe would be received directly by him through the Quantum Sympathy method and become a part of his body.
This was not all. As more and more white tentacles extended out from void s.p.a.ce, they pierced his body one after another. More parallel universes gradually became a part of his body.
As his body's condition changed, his face became increasingly hideous. White spots started to expand from his pupils, spreading out slowly across his entire body. As these white spots extended out, the agony on his face grew increasingly intense. There were even streams of white light that flowed out slowly from the corners from his lips like air currents.
“To think that he has reached such a level…”
A long sigh suddenly rang out in Fang Xingjian's mind, causing him to be slightly stunned.
He soon found the source of the voice and saw that the portion of information in his consciousness which had originally belonged to the Divine Gate Reversal had turned into a blurry human figure.
“Parosas? It's you?!”
It was an expert Fang Xingjian encountered in the past. The expert had a body formed from countless planets, and he was the one who had eventually given Fang Xingjian the Divine Gate Reversal's incantation.
Clearly, even if the Divine Gate Reversal was just pure information, it was also a secret door he had left in Fang Xingjian's body. It allowed him to appear here and see the world-astonis.h.i.+ng battle.
Parosas did not reply to Fang Xingjian. Instead, he sighed and said, “The range of the Quantum Sympathy in Zuo Qingcang's Unifying Dao is no longer just a single timeline. Even the other parallel universes are now within his control.
“Did he borrow White's power? Mmmm… White represents the origin of countless worlds and lives. If his powers are used together with Unifying Dao, it'd be a perfect match…”
“Quantum Sympathy? Unifying Dao? What are those?” Fang Xingjian asked.
Parosas did not say anything. Instead, with a single thought, a tremendous amount of information gushed out in Fang Xingjian's mind.
“Quantum can affect each other even across millions and millions of light years. It's because they are one to begin with. It's like how when you tug at one end of a rope, the other end will move as well.
“The same applies for the universe formed by quantum. Before the Big Bang, all matter and energy were one. They were condensed in an extremely small spot.
“The birth of the universe is just this single ent.i.ty swelling up. Essentially, they are still a single ent.i.ty, just like a balloon that has been inflated.
“After activating the Unifying Dao state, he will be able to communicate with everything in the world, taking control over this single ent.i.ty.
“As long as it's within Zuo Qingcang's sensory range, all matter and lives—be it material or immaterial, energy or ma.s.s, or even s.p.a.ce and time—could become a part of his body.
“Even the two of us are no exceptions.
“This means that as long as he is willing to, our current selves can instantly become a part of him.
“This is already an extremely powerful move to begin with, but Zuo Qingcang has taken it even further. He borrowed White's powers and communicated with other parallel worlds.
“After the Big Bang started, the universe continuously broke up into new timelines due to varying possibilities.
“Explosion or crunch? Death or existence?
“Each decision and possibility results in the timelines breaking up ceaselessly, like densely-packed branches growing out from a tree's trunk. The gathering of all the timelines and parallel universes is what makes the universe complete.
“The gathering of many complete universes makes up the entire multivariate universe.
“It's like how all the branches and leaves together make up a complete tree, and all the complete trees together make up an entire forest.
“Zuo Qingcang's Unifying Dao is heading toward the direction of controlling a complete universe.
“However, he can probably only achieve this state in the universes under White's control. Moreover, the burden seems to be too great.
“It's still too much of a strain to borrow White's powers. Just for the act of communicating with the many parallel universes and controlling the many origins of the various worlds, he would have to fight against White's invasion repeatedly. He has probably been preparing for this battle for a very, very long time…”
Fang Xingjian looked at the white spots that kept on expanding out on Zuo Qingcang's face. Zuo Qingcang's expression had become increasingly hideous, and he was like a wild beast on the verge of death, with his eyes releasing painful gleams.
However, the Unifying Dao's activation still did not seem to have ended. As more and more white tentacles pierced Zuo Qingcang's back, streams of light marks appeared in void s.p.a.ce. They eventually turned into a phantom image of a man as it appeared behind Zuo Qingcang.
The man appeared very handsome, and his long black hair draped down like a waterfall. His eyes emitted a confidence as if everything was within his control, and his entire body revealed a completely different disposition from Zuo Qingcang's coldness. It was a dignified and unsurmountable disposition.
The phantom image floated quietly behind Zuo Qingcang as if it were his shadow.
Seeing this man's phantom image appear, Parosas' countenance changed. ” Shen Zong 1 ? How is that possible…?” However, a short moment later, a hint of understanding flashed in his gaze. “So that's how it is… No wonder…”
As this phantom image appeared behind Zuo Qingcang, the agony on his face lightened a lot.
“Go. Go and cultivate the quantum organs.”
As Zuo Qingcang's mental transmission rang out at the next instant, Fang Xingjian felt like his body was being dragged away by an invisible force. He seemed to rapidly leave this section of s.p.a.ce-time at an immeasurable speed.
Through Fang Xingjian's senses, Zuo Qingcang's back view grew increasingly smaller and the final electromagnetic waves that were sent by him kept on resonating in the endless void s.p.a.ce.
“Which of you will be going first?”
Right after, 12 waves of world-annihilating power—that Fang Xingjian found hard to measure even if he were to use all of his efforts to do so—descended from the sky. All matter in the entire universe seemed to have been instantly shredded into dust. It was as if 12 dinosaurs had suddenly been squeezed into a fish tank.
