“…… Why not?"

Chen Ziling was asked by the Star Soul, in fact, he really hadn't thought about this question - yes, what is the reason for the existence of that "battlefield"? The Metaverse is already the ultimate of all worlds, and theoretically there is no longer a "world" that can accommodate it, but in fact, the Metaverse is in an endless "dark world", which makes him incomprehensible.

It's like when someone is on Earth and someone guesses about what is outside the universe - in the eyes of mortals, there are many possibilities, but in their eyes, there is only one possibility, and there is no reason for this possibility.

"I don't know, I didn't think about it," Chen Ziling replied honestly, without giving his own explanation.

"Actually, it's very simple," Star Soul smiled, "Think about it, how did the original, just born intelligent life understand the universe?"

Chen Ziling thought about it, he had also understood this question before, and the answer he got surprised him - no matter what civilization it was, even if it had now developed technology enough to spy on the Metaverse, when they began to understand the universe, the whole process was surprisingly similar.

The first is to "plan" the entire universe with the planet where the civilization itself is located, and then to understand the broader scale of stars, galaxies, and so on, and evolve the correct concept of the universe, and with the development of civilization, a broader scale than the universe has also been discovered and even explored.

But the problem lies in this long process of understanding - it is not easy for those who have initially begun to think about what is beyond the "world" in which they live.

In the initial speculation of many civilizations, the "outside the world" is chaos, nothingness, there is no existence, the whole "world" is the ultimate, there is nothing more expansive than the "world", and nothing can contain the "world".

The question that the Star Soul asked just now was an "ultimate" question like this. Since the Metaverse is already the ultimate of all worlds, how can it exist in a much wider world?

Chen Ziling's idea was that there was a bigger world outside the Metaverse, but the Star Soul denied it and said:

"Almost all civilizations, in the process of understanding the whole 'world', will think about where the 'world' they live in exists - this is the habitual thinking of life in the lower world, so now that you have reached this height, why don't you think differently?"

"How to change?" Chen Ziling thought, he had no clue about it.

"Why, can't the Metaverse include that absolute 'dark realm'?" the Star Soul asked rhetorically, making Chen Ziling stunned for a moment.

"Metaverse...... Including the 'Dark Realm'?" Chen Ziling was surprised, not knowing why the Star Soul had this idea.

"I just said, maybe there is something more advanced that makes the will of the Metaverse extremely yearning, and you also said that if it is life, there must be desires, but the form of expression is different - according to my observation back then, the existence of the Metaverse is not eternal. ”

Star Soul paused and explained: "Since the twentieth reincarnation, I have relied on Chen Xiaoyu and others to observe the Metaverse, which has lasted for eight reincarnations, and for such a long time, I have found that the edge of the Metaverse is disappearing very slowly - since they can't pass through that boundary, I can only guess - the boundary is not the boundary of the edge of the Metaverse, but the boundary of power formed by its resistance to the 'disappearance', and the dark realm is just the 'void' left after the disappearance of the Metaverse." ”

"You...... You say the Metaverse is disappearing?" Chen Ziling was shocked, as if what the Star Soul said made his worldview collapse—and in fact, it was.

"It's just a guess, a conjecture based on the deduction of the phenomenon," the Star Soul said: "The Metaverse Will wants to restore its previous power, he doesn't want to disappear, he doesn't want to ...... Death – that's the highest peak he aspires to, and what you call his 'desire'. ”

Chen Ziling was silent after hearing this, he thought about every detail he had said before, and finally accepted what the Star Soul said - although the Star Soul said that it was just a conjecture, but it was so realistic.

"The door of reincarnation you want, give me the clue, and I will bring it back to you. Chen Ziling poured a bowl of wine and drank it all, got up and prepared to leave.

"Okay, here's the clue I recently collected about the Gate of Reincarnation. Star Soul said, raising his hand, and a mountain of books stretched next to Chen Ziling.

“…… What do you mean by that?" Chen Ziling broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't help asking.

"Folklore collected during this time. Star Soul smiled: "I don't know why there are so few clues about the gate of reincarnation in the cultivator world, I accidentally found that there are a lot of them in the mortal world, so I got the Tianyuan Star here, oh yes, there are some other star fields, I let the Xuanshen them go." ”

“…… Are you serious?" Chen Ziling was surprised, and didn't feel that the Star Soul was playing tricks on him.

"Of course, I was still researching before you came," Star Soul said, pulling out an ancient book from the mortal world from the mountain of books, and said, "There are multiple versions of the legend, you need to verify them one by one, I believe that with the power of your divine sense, even if these books are a hundred times more easily, it will be easy to solve." ”

"Okay, then I'll take it, as for the rest, I'll leave it to you, and then tell me the results, and I'll verify it. Chen Ziling remained silent, put the mountain of books into the world ring, and turned around to leave.

"Wait," Star Soul stopped at the right time, saying, "There are still some things I need to tell you—in fact, I should have told you when I went to see you not long ago." ”

"Hmm, what's the matter?" Chen Ziling was suspicious, thinking that it was not a good thing.

"Say it. ”

"About Luo Shen and the Evil Emperor, in fact...... They are people of the same era, and they are close," the Star Soul opened his mouth with a bombshell news.

"Well, and then what?"

"Back then, the Evil Emperor was not called the Evil Emperor, but 'Di Yao' - like him, he was a native of the Metaverse Realm. When Di Yao returned, he was furious and directly destroyed more than half of the hyperspace in the sea, and then died of life...... It wasn't until the end of this reincarnation that he was resurrected under your influence - but that was no longer Di Yao, he was the Evil Emperor, a new soul born in Di Yao's body. ”

"......" Chen Ziling didn't speak, not because he didn't want to speak, but because he didn't know what to say anymore, his heart was already a big wave.

"In the most ancient times, we can't imagine it, but in a moment, there will always be something that will be handed down, and in this life, you still have a long way to go. ”

Star Soul's tone of speech suddenly changed, and he said.
