535: Create the universe for you

"It's not a big deal... Well, never mind. Since I've already said so much, let me tell you a bit more about what once happened in the Main Universe!"

Tang Xian said, "All space in the Universe is inherently in a state of absolute equilibrium, but... this equilibrium requires the existence of two great beings within the Universe to maintain!"

"Great beings... existence?"

Tang Ku thought for a moment, then immediately understood what he meant. He said in a deep voice, "I see. In other words, as long as these two positions exist, the space in the Universe can tend towards equilibrium. It's equivalent to an indispensable position in a company; whether the person is there or not, the work gets done and it develops, but you can't be without the role itself!"

"Hmm, the fact that you can understand it this way shows that your brain is still quite useful!"

Tang Xian said, "The two positions within this space in the Universe are the Lord of Chaos and the Order Lord! The Lord of Chaos governs the source of all Chaos and has the ability to quell all Chaos within the Universe into nothingness, causing all things to return to Chaos. The Order Lord is the exact opposite; he governs the order between the Universe, capable of smoothing out all chaotic events and things that disrupt order into a state of order..."

"These two positions are indispensable. No matter which side is missing, it will cause an imbalance in the Universe. Even if these two positions are vacant for too long, it is very likely to directly lead to the collapse of the entire Universe... Well, of course, if both positions are vacant, the Universe will maintain its equilibrium and operate on its own for a short time. But once a long time passes... after ten million years, or even within a million years, the Universe will still collapse, disintegrate, and disappear without a trace while in a masterless state..."

"That's right, you heard correctly. It is all Universes that will completely disappear without a trace due to the lack of these two positions!"

Tang Xian tried his best to explain things in a way that Tang Ku could understand, yet even so, it took Tang Ku a long time to digest what he had said.

Because what he said was simply too terrifying!

What he said already touched upon the highest secrets of this Universe, and he was just a nobody who hadn't even reached the level of a Pseudo-Saint. How could he possibly be qualified to hear this information?

Shock and fear alternated in his emotions, leaving Tang Ku unable to calm his heart for a long time.

"My old man is very strong... Well, it's no exaggeration to say he is currently the number one person in the Universe. During the last War of the Saints, he gained the upper hand, not only sealing the Will of the Universe again... oh, that is, Hongjun, but also driving those escaped Pseudo-Saint Legion back into the cracks of the Universe!"

Tang Xian said proudly, "After the victory in the War of the Saints, he led people to rebuild the Heavenly Court and then found the successor for the next Lord of Chaos, temporarily maintaining the equilibrium of the Universe. However... the candidate for the Order Lord has been slow to be determined, because... the Order Lord has always been at a disadvantage in competition and fighting. The previous Order Lord was not good at fighting and was ultimately taken advantage of by the Lord of Chaos and eliminated!"

"Wait, hold on, I'm a bit confused..."

Tang supported his forehead with his hand, and it took a long time to sort it out. He said, "You just said... War of the Saints? Are there many people fighting for the position of Saint? There are quite a few Saints in the Universe, why would anyone still fight for the Saint position? Also, what the hell is rebuilding the Heavenly Court? In the original Universe, does the Heavenly Court no longer exist? Besides... why would the Lord of Chaos deal with the Order Lord? Shouldn't the two of them be... hmm, should be... colleagues? Or friends?"

"Heh, you really have quite a few questions!"

Tang Xian held up a finger and said, "First, to answer your first question... The War of the Saints has a long history. During the battle to fight for Pangu's foothold... oh, that is, the Earth of the original Universe... after that battle, all the Saints fell. There are actually many people in the Universe who want to compete for the limited Saint positions, and many are powerful. Among them, my old man was the strongest... Well, of course, he suffered quite a few setbacks at first, but he still successfully took the Saint position, and then used it as a stepping stone to finally be qualified to confront Hongjun!"

"That's not right... that's not right!" Tang Ku thought of something else and couldn't help but say in a deep voice, "In this Tang Universe... well, can I call this Universe that?... In this world, if it weren't for the mysterious power, there are still several Saints... Nuwa Niangniang, Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Lord, Primal Celestial Lord, etc., they all exist!"

"Heh, have you ever actually seen these Saints?"

Tang Xian threw out a question that seemed very ordinary, but to Tang Ku, it was terrifying to think about.

He had only heard of all these Saints, and his closest contact had merely been obtaining the information they left behind; he had never actually seen a real Saint.

In other words, could it be that these Saints he knew of... didn't actually exist?

Seemingly having seen through Tang Ku's thoughts, Tang Xian shook his head and said, "It's not accurate to say they don't exist. We can only say that the Saints once existed, but in this Universe, they have never truly appeared!"

"Why?"

Tang Ku said in a deep voice, "Is this world fake?"

"To say it's real, it actually is; to say it's fake, it's actually about the same!"

Tang Xian said decisively in a deep voice, "Because this world relies on the real world, casting in the thousands upon thousands of souls that died in the first War of the Saints, and then using computer programs, relying on the Creation Law within the Main Universe's Laws, to create a parallel space!"

Tang Ku immediately grasped the point: "Then... who created this world? Could it be..."

"Hmm, just as you thought, my old man was the one who proposed this idea, and then together with a mad scientist and a computer geek, the three of them researched and created this world!"

Tang Xian laughed and said, "And to ensure the authenticity of this world, they completely simulated the development trajectory of Earth and added elements of cultivators into it. In other words, this place should actually be..."

"It should be a sandbox game controlled by great beings, right?"

Tang Ku curled his lips and said, "And we... are just pieces on a chessboard?"

"You can't put it that way, because you simply don't understand the significance of creating this Universe!"

Seeing Tang Ku complaining, Tang Xian couldn't help but say, "Do you think a great being like my old man is really so bored that he would create a Universe just for fun?"

"Otherwise? What is the point of creating such a Universe?"

Tang Ku said in a deep voice, "The memories of Golden Cicada, the memories of Tang Seng, all of this is fake. Only my memories from the original Universe are real. Doing this, what meaning does it have for me?"

"You just don't take yourself seriously at all!"

Tang Xian sneered, "Haven't you ever thought that this Universe is actually completely built for you?"
