152: Chapter 152 The Eye of the Origin of the Great Dao!

But Su Changge seemed not to hear his shout.

Or rather, from the moment he raised his head, the sounds of the entire world had been stripped away from his perception.

He had made his choice.

In the instant he boldly met that gaze, Su Changge let out the most resolute and crazed roar since his Transmigration from deep within the ocean of his Divine Soul. This roar was silent, yet it shook his entire Divine Soul space with a buzzing sound, his will condensing into a sharp sword that pierced the heavens!

“System!”

“Exchange for the [Great Dao Origin Dharma Eye] special effect for me!”

“Max it out with all my emotion points!!”

【Ding! Command received! Will strength judgment passed... Permissions temporarily unlocked...】

【Exchanging for Concept-Class Special Effect—Great Dao Origin Dharma Eye...】

【emotion points -1,000,000... -3,000,000... -5,000,000... -9,000,000...】

Su Changge's Divine Soul "watched helplessly" as his reserve of nearly ten million emotion points—that spiritual ocean gathered from the shock, awe, fear, and despair of countless living beings—had a sluice gate opened to an unknown dimension, pouring out frantically.

In just a single breath, more than ninety percent was consumed!

His Divine Soul throbbed with pain.

That was his entire Foundation, accumulated step by step with careful planning since descending into this realm.

Now, he had played this trump card without hesitation, turning it into the sole fuel to ignite that unknown special effect.

At this moment, he couldn't afford to feel heartache. Because the instant the emotion points were cleared, a profound aura that could not be described with words, perceived with Divine Sense, or even defined by "existence" rose from the deepest part of Su Changge's body, from the Origin of his Divine Soul, and from the very Foundation of his concept!

This aura did not belong to spiritual power, nor to the Law, nor to any power System of this world.

It was ancient, vast, and lonely, coming from the "Nothingness" before the birth of all things and the "Void" after the end of the Universe.

Everyone present, including that supreme gaze spanning the sky and looking down upon eras, clearly "felt" the appearance of this aura. This feeling transcended the five senses and Divine Sense; it was the direct resonance of the Origin of life with another higher-order existence.

Xiao Fan, lying among the rubble, struggled to prop up half his body, his broken Dao body trembling uncontrollably. He looked up, his eyes filled with incomprehensible shock.

“This... what power is this?”

His voice was hoarse and dry, not because of fear, but because of a shudder originating from the depths of his Soul. That aura was too unique—so unique that it made this former favored son of heaven feel that the Cultivation Techniques he had practiced, the Dao principles he had comprehended, and the Great Dao of Longevity he had pursued were all like sandcastles built by children, laughable and fragile.

Then, under the horrified gazes of everyone, Su Changge's eyes changed.

The light within his originally deep black pupils quickly dimmed and dissipated. As the black faded, what was revealed was not the whites of the eyes, but a patch of the purest, most primitive Chaos.

Within that Chaos, there was no light, no darkness, no time, and no space—only a void carrying all possibilities and all endings.

Liu Ruyan sat paralyzed not far away. The sliver of strength she had just gathered was drained once more, and she was completely stunned. She looked at Su Changge's eyes, her red lips parting unconsciously, yet unable to make a sound.

“Impossible...”

She murmured to herself, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion and self-doubt. As a Core Disciple of a top-tier Sect, she prided herself on her vast knowledge, but the scene before her had completely shattered her understanding.

In the next moment, a sudden change occurred!

In Su Changge's left eye, that patch of Chaos suddenly collapsed inward into an infinitesimally small "point," and then, an immeasurable light erupted!

The Universe was created here!

That single singularity exploded, evolving into the most ancient Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind. Chaotic currents surged, and countless nebulae began to rotate and converge. In the lonely evolution of billions of years, the first scorching star was ignited, its light piercing the eternal darkness.

Cold stardust condensed into planets under the pull of gravity, and in their nascent orbits, they began their slow revolutions of millions of years. On the desolate and dead planets, amidst the intertwining of lightning and primitive oceans, the first tiny structure capable of self-replication appeared. Life was born therefrom.

All things began to grow.

From nothing to something, from death to life, from extinction to prosperity.

It was a majestic Dao Rhyme filled with infinite vitality, infinite creation, and infinite possibility! It was the establishment of "existence" itself!

Meanwhile, in his right eye, a completely opposite yet equally Soul-shaking scene was unfolding.

An incredibly prosperous and civilized galaxy reached its end. The giant star at its core exhausted its last fuel, and after a supernova explosion that swept through several star Systems, it collapsed into a black hole from which even light could not escape, devouring all Laws and matter.

Planets were ruthlessly torn apart by tidal forces, turning into cold cosmic dust. Wise civilizations that had lasted for millions of years were extinguished in a final wail; all history, all art, and all traces were completely erased by entropy and time.

All Daos withered, the Law collapsed, the chains of Karma snapped inch by inch, and everything returned to absolute, eternal silence.

From something to nothing, from life to death, from prosperity to void.

It was a lonely Dao Rhyme filled with ending, destruction, and return to the void! It was the final announcement of "non-existence"!

Life and death!

Creation and termination!

Origin and return to the void!

Past and future!

Countless kinds of diametrically opposite yet perfectly unified "Daos" at a higher level were constantly flowing, emerging, perishing, and reincarnating within Su Changge's pair of eyes! They were each other's Karma, each other's beginning and end, forming an absolutely closed, self-perfected cycle.

Li Changfeng was completely dumbfounded by this scene. He stared blankly at those eyes, feeling that his own sword heart and his own sword Dao had already reincarnated billions of times within them, from birth to destruction. He opened his mouth to say something, but found that his tongue no longer obeyed him; any language seemed pale and weak before this scene.

At this moment, Su Changge was no longer a "human."

He had become the manifestation of the "Dao"!

The Origin of the Universe and the end of all things!

When this pair of eyes, carrying the birth and death of the Universe, completely opened, piercing through layers of shattered space and crossing that pitch-black crack flowing with an ancient galaxy to meet that supreme will looking down upon eras—

“Buzz—”

That terrifying Dao pressure shrouded over the entire Secret Realm ruins—which made Deity Transformation Great Powers' Divine Souls crumble and the Laws of heaven and earth solidify—experienced its first pause.

It was like a precise celestial instrument operating at superluminal speeds whose core gear was suddenly jammed by a grain of sand from another Universe.

Although it was only for an instant, too short for a Mortal to even blink, the Cultivators present felt it clearly!

That supreme power that crushed their Souls and ground their Dao Hearts vanished for a moment!

Xiao Fan's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

“It... it stopped?”

His voice carried a hint of relief from surviving a disaster, but even more so, it was filled with unparalleled shock.

That was a supreme existence from the Upper Realm, or perhaps even above the Upper Realm! Its will descending was enough to make the Heavenly Dao of a Small World submit!

To think it was actually deterred by Senior's gaze?

Following that.

A soft sound of surprise, "Eh?", carrying obvious astonishment, crossed infinite dimensions of time and space. Without passing through any medium, it rang directly in the deepest part of all the survivors' Souls.

This time, the surprise was no longer the playful and condescending attitude from before when discovering an interesting ant.

Rather, it was the true astonishment of suddenly finding a chess piece on one's own board had become a player; it was the shock of seeing something of the same level, or even... something that even they could not fully understand!

The existence behind the crack was shocked!

Mo Wentian's body still could not move, but his mind had gone completely blank.

Senior... who exactly is he?

He had long guessed that the Qi Refining First Layer cultivation was a disguise. But even if he were the Reincarnation of a legendary Immortal, or even an Immortal Emperor's Rebirth, how could he make such an existence—one that even the world itself had to look up to—reveal such clear surprise?

Lin Gujian's hand holding his Natal Flying Sword trembled uncontrollably. He prided himself on having a clear sword heart and being widely experienced, but at this moment, he found that his understanding of the past hundred years had been completely overturned, crushed, and reshaped by the scene before him.

What did that existence see?

It saw an "ant" that didn't even count as dust in its eyes, yet within those mundane eye sockets, there actually resided... the Reincarnation of a Universe's birth and death?

No, more than that.

It saw... the Origin of the Great Dao?!
