It has been said that memory is a valuable asset.

It can make you feel happy, sad, painful, hopeless, and even make everyone the right version of themselves.

But in Zhang Cheng's eyes, memory is memory, sometimes it will become a motivation to move forward, and sometimes it will become a drug of self-deception and self-anesthesia.

It has nothing to do with being smart or stupid, it's just a profound effect that memory has on character building.

Normally, no one wants to let go of their past, because that would mean abandoning their present self and turning into a person with a completely opposite personality to their previous personality.

But Zhang Cheng, who has always been a mixture of madness and reason in his bones, doesn't mind changing his personality a little.

Because his heart has already become extremely firm after countless trials, no matter how it changes, he will never give up the ultimate goal that surpasses everything.

In fact, memories of his past as a mortal often had a slight impact on his plans and choices.

For example, when destroying a civilization, he often conjures up images of the final destruction of the earth, recalling the women with whom he had been with for a long time, or even had intimate relationships.

Although these irrational impulses are suppressed with absolute coldness, they are no longer mere memories, but a heavy burden that can lead to failure.

Byron was undoubtedly keenly aware of this, grinning and exclaiming, "Oh—no, no, no, you madman, you want to discard the memories of the past. How incredible! Are you serious?"

"Why not?" asked Zhang Cheng expressionlessly. "Do you care about your past? If you really cared, you wouldn't try to break the cycle of the material universe. Once the cycle is broken, all time ceases to exist. Especially the time before you become the master, all of them will disappear from your memory. ”

"Hehe, you're right. Once the loop is broken, the nodes that make up for the parallel network will disappear forever, including your and my past. Byron didn't try to deny it, but nodded happily.

But then he explained: "But don't forget that this time we are not just breaking the cycle, but connecting the destroyed spiritual world with the material universe." No one knows exactly what will happen when the two merge, and the only thing I know for sure is that at that point, Juggernaut will not be the end of the evolutionary path. ”

"yes! The ceiling is about to be broken by our own hands! But before that, I want you to do me a small favor. Zhang Cheng inserted a hand into his body and took out the organ that had been plucked from the overlord's corpse.

Unlike what it had been before, the surface of the organ was now densely covered with green vines, and a small tree barely two fingers tall had taken root.

You don't need to ask to know that it is the heart of the Tree of Chaos, constantly exuding a dark and chaotic aura to the surroundings.

"A little favor?!, do you want to ......" Byron undoubtedly guessed something, and the whole person suddenly became excited.

"That's right! I want you to help me merge with my other self, annexation to be exact. He has a soul fragment that belongs to me, and now I want this soul fragment to merge into the depths of his soul, I believe it should not be difficult for you. Zhang Cheng made a request without any nonsense.

In order to reduce the risk and complete the final transcendence, he needs strong strength to support him at the moment.

Devouring the initial is the lowest risk and the most effective method in a short period of time.

As for the hidden dangers, he can't care about so much now.

"I'm very honored! I've been looking forward to this for a long time. ”

With that, Byron's whole body suddenly disappeared from the spot, leaving only a large black mist.

Confirming that the other party had left, Zhang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered in a voice that only he could hear: "It's time for the game of dominance to come to an end." Dear starter, I won. ”

......

Meanwhile, far on the outskirts of a stagnant city, the Initiator has not yet realized that danger has come, and is taking his old friend and new ally Gru with him to carefully collect information and specimens, for fear that he will accidentally become this half-dead appearance.

You know, not long ago, they had experienced a similar disaster, but fortunately they were so close to the city gate that they rushed out before the diaphragm was completely surrounded, otherwise it would have been a living statue by now.

Feeling the horror and despair in the eyes of the living corpse, Gru finally couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure he did it, why would he do such a thing?"

"Experiment! Gather the necessary feedback!" the bespectacled man replied without thinking.

"But that's crazy! He's destroyed all traces of civilization in this world just to gather some feedback?" Gru's tone was full of distrust.

"Believe me, you don't know him, at least not the real him. The Initiator pursed the corners of his mouth and a sarcastic smile flowed.

Just when he was about to say something, his keen sixth sense suddenly sent out a danger signal, and the whole person immediately retreated more than ten meters to the left.

But before he could stand firmly, he found that a skinny hand had penetrated his heart, or rather, his soul.

In the palm of his hand, the fragment of his soul that originally belonged to Zhang Cheng exuded a beautiful and dazzling brilliance.

The owner of the hand obviously didn't give him any chance to react, and directly pinched and exploded the soul fragments, stuffing his brain into the soul.

Then, with the influx of spiritual power, the wounds of the body and soul quickly healed, and the soul fragment gradually merged with it.

"Damn! you...... Who the hell are you?"

Sensing the comer's intentions, the Initiator immediately broke free and retreated to a relatively safe distance to question loudly.

"I'm sorry, but you're still qualified to know who I am, just need to know that it won't be long before you will go to the point of life and become the nourishment for his growth. I've seen countless wonders in my life, but I've never seen two parallel universes of life dominate at the same time, and finally merge together, and it must be spectacular. Goodbye, loser, it won't be long before he comes to you. ”

With a meaningful whisper, Byron left behind a wicked smile shrouded in black robes, and immediately disappeared into thin air without a trace, as if it had never appeared.
