The End of the Original Universe

Time flowed like water, and in the tranquil years, over six trillion epochs passed silently. Inside Luo Feng's miniature universe, blue skies and white clouds, birds and beasts everywhere, mountains stretching endlessly, and springs flowing down from the peaks. On one such peak sat a white-robed man, Luo Feng himself, with a tall, honest-looking guard standing beside him. “Hmm?” The honest-looking guard looked into the distance. Through several light-years, a young man was teleporting his way over. Whoosh! A silver-haired youth appeared at the foot of the mountain, then stepped into the air, coming directly to the peak. The silver-haired youth spoke with extreme reverence and fervor: “Father God!” “Ximo, what’s been happening lately?” Luo Feng looked at the silver-haired youth, a hint of doting affection in his eyes. Ximo was exceptionally talented. Luo Feng’s concern for him was almost on par with that for his own son. This was because Ximo was one of the lives Luo Feng had created in the early days when he was forming various races. One could say Ximo was Luo Feng’s child! The many races Luo Feng created formed the Youhai lineage. Over ten billion epochs after the Beast God Calamity, the Youhai lineage produced its first True God, and that was Ximo! It should be noted! Currently, the human race had nine major powers, each with numerous True Gods. Among them, three were the strongest: Virtual Universe Company, Giant Axe Martial Arena, and Galaxy Kingdom. The Galaxy Kingdom, with the Earth lineage and Youhai lineage at its core, along with many other joining powerhouses, recognized Luo Feng as its supreme leader! This was on the surface; in reality, the Galaxy Kingdom was primarily led by Ximo. Because… At Luo Feng’s level, the entire human race was influenced by him, making it unnecessary to create a separate faction. It was Ximo who had said back then: “Father God, our Youhai lineage and Earth lineage don’t have enough say in the human high-level meetings.” With Luo Feng’s tacit approval, the Galaxy Kingdom was established. In fact, Luo Feng also realized that the Earth lineage, created by Zuoshanke, indeed produced many geniuses and was destined to be an extremely powerful lineage. The Youhai lineage was a race he had created through repeated attempts in his pursuit of perfect life structures, each with its own advantages and astonishing potential. With two such powerful lineages lacking sufficient influence, many powerhouses were naturally dissatisfied. However, at that time, Luo Feng’s side only had True Gods Luo Feng, Hong, and Huo Qiong. Among them, Luo Feng’s status was too high and transcendent, Hong was too indifferent, and Huo Qiong was neither from Earth nor Youhai, lacking sufficient influence. When Ximo became a True God, many Universe Masters from both lineages naturally gathered under him, and with him leading, everything fell into place. Operating under Luo Feng’s banner, the ‘Galaxy Kingdom’ faction was formed, naturally allowing them to better control their influence and elevate their respective statuses within the human race. There was no other way; they had to contend for it. The main reason was that humans were now too powerful. After over six trillion epochs, the human race currently boasted 98 True Gods and an astonishing 1222 Universe Masters! Having reached such a level, humans primarily contended internally for various resources and influence. “Father God,” Ximo said with utmost respect, “Recently, another individual in our Galaxy Kingdom broke through to become a Universe Master.” Luo Feng nodded. At this point, Luo Feng no longer paid much attention to breakthroughs to Universe Master. “Junior Brother Nake is progressing very quickly. If given enough time, he should be able to become a Universe Master,” Ximo said. “Nake?” Luo Feng smiled. Nake was the young man he had once guided in the Xueluo World when he was still weak. Despite his high status in the human race, he secretly followed the developments within the Xueluo World and Nake’s growth, even secretly helping him three times, though Nake himself never realized it. In Luo Feng’s view, if Nake couldn’t become a Sector Lord Undying by himself, there was no need for him to personally guide him. Only if he could become a Sector Lord Undying would he be worth guiding and cultivating. Although Luo Feng had secretly helped him three times, the key was still Nake himself. He endured countless hardships and struggled for hundreds of millions of years before finally becoming a Sector Lord Undying. When Nake achieved this, Luo Feng personally descended to the Xueluo World and accepted Nake as his disciple! Luo Feng would personally instruct him every so often, but usually, he was left to Ximo’s guidance. “Although Junior Brother Nake is at the limit of a Universe Venerable,” Ximo shook his head, “I’m afraid there won’t be enough time for him to become a Universe Master in this reincarnation era.” “Hmm?” Luo Feng frowned. “Has it arrived?” “Following Father God’s command, I have been constantly observing the Original Universe,” Ximo respectfully said. “Now, various signs within the Original Universe indicate… that the Original Universe has entered its final era, and it will likely be destroyed before long.” “Signs?” Luo Feng looked at Ximo. Ximo nodded: “Currently, in countless starfields within the Original Universe, there’s been widespread destruction of stars! While the natural end of a star’s lifespan is common, destruction on this scale has never happened before. Moreover, the probability of geniuses appearing is clearly declining sharply…” Ximo listed various indicators. “It’s finally going to be destroyed.” Luo Feng suddenly stood up. He had waited too long. Back during the war with the Beast God, his realm had already reached the peak of Void True God! At that time, he could create top-tier secret techniques of the twelfth order. Over six trillion epochs had passed… He frequently communicated with Moluosa, who demonstrated his understanding of the origin of destruction for Luo Feng to comprehend, leading to significant progress for him as well. Of course, he couldn’t compare to Moluosa. His current self had reached the limit of a Void True God in terms of realm! However, Moluosa’s rate of progress made Luo Feng both envious and helpless. From the very beginning of its growth period, it was equivalent to a Void True God, and after over six trillion epochs, Moluosa had naturally evolved to a stage equivalent to an Eternal True God. “Master,” the honest-looking guard beside him also became excited. Luo Feng glanced at the guard; this honest-looking guard was Moluosa. “I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time,” Luo Feng chuckled. “Father God?” Ximo was taken aback. How could he know that Luo Feng and the Origin Will had made a promise back then: to comprehend the Original Universe when it was destroyed, which was an opportunity of supreme importance. “However, before that, I need to go somewhere,” Luo Feng said, his gaze distant as he looked into the void. “You don’t need to follow.” Whoosh! With a single step, Luo Feng vanished, leaving Ximo and the honest-looking guard to exchange glances. It was still that silent, desolate starfield where no life could be born, and Luo Feng appeared there. “How long has it been?” Luo Feng murmured. From being a naive little fellow from Earth who stepped out into the cosmos… to now, it had been too long. He owed his current achievements greatly to Teacher Zuoshanke. “What exactly did Teacher Zuoshanke want him to do?” After the Beast God Calamity, he had expected his teacher to seek him out. But he never did. Luo Feng wasn’t anxious and waited patiently, yet he never received his teacher’s summons. Luo Feng’s hand gently brushed through the void. He could feel faint ripples within the void, and the moment he entered the Original Universe, he understood… The Original Universe had indeed entered its final phase, and before long, the ultimate destruction would commence. After comprehending the destruction, he would no longer suppress his strength but would immediately ascend to a Void True God. Then, he would embark on the Cycle of Reincarnation! Yet, Zuoshanke had never told him what he ultimately wanted him to do. No matter what it was, even a life-or-death adventure, Luo Feng would not flinch. Whoosh. Luo Feng stepped through the void, arriving before a palace. In front of the palace was a massive pond with fish swimming in it. Beside the pond stood an old man, leisurely observing everything. “You’ve arrived,” Zuoshanke said casually, looking at the pond. “I’ve arrived,” Luo Feng walked over. Zuoshanke smiled and glanced at him: “I was wondering whose patience was better, yours or mine. Now it seems, mine is superior.” Luo Feng gave a helpless smile. Was this a matter of comparing patience? Teacher Zuoshanke had expended endless effort, brought out treasures like the Star Tower, and even disregarded his own miniature universe during the Beast God Calamity to protect Luo Feng’s. All of this showed how much Zuoshanke valued him… yet now he was acting like a child, talking about comparing patience? “Teacher,” Luo Feng couldn’t help but say, “This reincarnation era of the Original Universe is about to end. Once I comprehend the entire process of the Original Universe’s destruction, I will soon stop suppressing my strength and break through, then I will embark on the Cycle of Reincarnation. Teacher, please tell me quickly what you want me to do.” “Hahaha…” Zuoshanke laughed heartily, “No rush, no rush.” “Still no rush?” Luo Feng was astonished. Zuoshanke flipped his hand, and a golden crystal appeared in his palm. He examined the golden crystal carefully for a long time before handing it to Luo Feng. “Teacher, what is this?” Luo Feng glanced at the golden crystal; it didn’t seem to be a treasure. “Take this with you,” Zuoshanke said. “It contains a phantom consciousness.” “Phantom consciousness?” Luo Feng was puzzled. Although the previous Duan Dong River had died, he still left behind a phantom consciousness to select a successor. The Jinzhi God King also left behind a phantom consciousness when he departed. This phantom consciousness contained all the memories left by the true body but had no combat power, merely acting as an intelligent robot with vast memories. “That is my phantom consciousness,” Zuoshanke said. “I’ve told you, there are some things I simply cannot say… because under these supreme rules, it’s impossible to speak of them.” Luo Feng was startled. “Wait until you embark on the Cycle of Reincarnation,” Zuoshanke chuckled. “When you embark on the Cycle of Reincarnation, you will no longer be restricted by these supreme rules, and my phantom consciousness will be able to reveal everything. When you embark on the Cycle of Reincarnation, take out this golden crystal. My phantom consciousness will appear… and you will know everything.” Luo Feng nodded thoughtfully. No wonder Zuoshanke was never in a hurry; it was because the phantom consciousness could only reveal everything when Luo Feng embarked on the Cycle of Reincarnation. “Go,” Zuoshanke said. “Prepare with peace of mind. The Original Universe is the most perfect and vast universe, and its destruction contains the most boundless and profound mysteries. The benefits to you will be beyond imagination. Comprehend it carefully then! And don’t be afraid to embark on the Cycle of Reincarnation. It is not a trap, nor a disaster. It is a good thing.” Zuoshanke then turned back to watch his fish, clearly not wishing to say more. Luo Feng was startled, then bowed slightly in thanks, and quietly departed.
