Chapter 64 The Crisis of the Collapse of Civilization!

The Eternal Divine Kingdom's fleet sailed through the starry sky after leaving the Memory Civilization.

This time, Lin Feng did not ponder the revelations of the trials, nor did he think about the enemies' weaknesses. He was simply feeling it—his vitality was draining away.

Initially, he thought it was just exhaustion after the trials. But soon, he realized it was a genuine loss of life force.

His heartbeat slowed, his breathing grew shallow, his muscles weakened, and his entire body was rapidly aging. One second he was young and powerful; the next, his hair was gray; and the second after that, he was on the brink of death.

"Lin Feng," Li Xue's voice carried an unprecedented fear, "your body... it's aging rapidly!"

"Aging?" Lin Feng looked at his hands and found them covered in wrinkles. "I... I've grown old..."

"Yes!" Li Xue trembled. "At this rate, you only have three days of life left!"

"Three days..." Lin Feng repeated, his voice already weak. "Am I still alive?"

"You are still alive!" Li Xue said anxiously. "But your life force is draining rapidly. If we don't stop it, you will be completely dead in three days!"

Just then, Tianjian rushed in.

"Lin Feng!" Tianjian's voice was full of terror. "My life force is also draining!"

"You... you've grown old too..." Lin Feng looked at Tianjian and saw that Tianjian's hair had also turned white.

"Yes!" Tianjian gripped his weapon, but his hands were shaking. "My strength is vanishing, my body is aging. At this rate, I only have three days of life left as well!"

Just then, Li Xue also walked in, her face pale.

"Lin Feng..." Li Xue's voice faltered, "I've discovered a... desperate civilization signal."

"Civilization signal?" Lin Feng repeated, but his voice had become faint.

"Yes," Li Xue operated the sensors, "the sensors show—life in the Multiverse is disappearing."

"Life is disappearing?" Tianjian was shocked. "What do you mean?"

"It means all life in this universe is vanishing," Li Xue explained. "Stars, planets, living organisms—all life is disappearing bit by bit. At first, it was one star system a day, but now countless star systems are vanishing every second."

"Countless star systems..." Tianjian's face was pale. "At this rate, all life in the entire Multiverse will vanish within three days."

"Three days..." Li Xue's voice trembled. "By then, the entire Multiverse will become a place of dead silence."

"Dead silence..." Lin Feng said weakly, "We... must go."

But there was not a trace of vitality left in Lin Feng's voice.

Life Civilization · The Destroyed Universe

When the Eternal Divine Kingdom's fleet arrived at the Life Civilization's star system, everyone was completely shocked by the sight before them.

It wasn't darkness, nor was it distorted space; it was—the absolute absence of life.

All stars were extinguishing, and not a single one could continue to burn. All planets were stopping, and not a single one could continue to rotate. All organisms were dying, and not a single one could continue to breathe.

This was not just the disappearance of life; it was the absolute reign of destruction.

"This is the Life Civilization..." Li Xue looked at the sensors, her face as white as paper. "Life is vanishing frantically. At first, it was one star system a day, but now countless star systems are vanishing every second."

"Not only that." Lin Feng looked toward the center of the galaxy, his eyes showing no ripple of emotion because his vitality was nearly exhausted. "The Destruction Vortex there is expanding frantically at a speed a trillion times the speed of light."

"A trillion times the speed of light..." Tianjian was shocked. "This has already broken through the absolute limits of biological structure."

"Yes," Lin Feng said weakly. "It is no longer bound by any laws of life; it can purge all life in the universe at will."

"Purge life at will..." Li Xue repeated.

"At this rate, all life in the entire Multiverse will vanish within three days," Lin Feng continued. "Including us. Including our lives, our breath, our existence—all life."

"All life..." Tianjian repeated, "Then, are we still alive?"

"Alive?" Lin Feng said weakly. "Alive, but soon to die."

Just then, the Eternal Divine Kingdom's fleet received a transmission.

It wasn't a voice, nor was it consciousness ripples, but—cold Destruction Ripples.

[Life... is a mistaken creation... Destruction... is the eternal truth of the universe...]

The Destruction Ripples were filled with absolute coldness, as if the entire civilization had already destroyed all life.

[I am the Life Destroyer... the Extinction Tyrant of the Level 14 Civilization... the Life Purger of the Multiverse...]

"Level 14 Civilization?" Lin Feng asked weakly.

[Yes... I have broken through the absolute limits of Level 13 Civilization... ascending to a Level 14 Civilization... possessing the absolute power to purge life...]

"The power of a Level 14 Civilization..." Tianjian looked at Lin Feng and saw that Lin Feng was about to lose consciousness.

"A Level 14 Civilization can purge life at will," Lin Feng said weakly. "They can purge the universe's stars, planets, and organisms—all life—at will. This power far exceeds a Level 13 Civilization."

"Far exceeds a Level 13 Civilization..." Li Xue's voice was almost gone, for her own vitality was also nearly exhausted.

[Life is a mistaken creation, an eternal obstacle to the universe. Only absolute destruction can allow the universe to reach a state of perfection. Therefore, I must purge all life in the Multiverse to create a perfect universe of absolute destruction.]

"Life is a mistaken creation..." Lin Feng repeated, but there was not a hint of doubt in his voice, for he was already close to death.

[Yes... Life leads to chaos in the universe and affects the universe's eternity. Only absolute destruction can bring the universe to a complete standstill and allow it to reach the highest level.]

Just then, the Life Destroyer suddenly launched an attack.

This was no ordinary energy attack, but—a Life Destruction Attack.

Instantly, Lin Feng felt his vitality draining rapidly. One second ago, he had three days of life left; the next, he had only one day; and the second after that, he had only one hour.

"This is... a Life Destruction Attack..." Lin Feng said weakly, his voice nearly vanishing. "It is purging all my life force..."

The Life Destroyer continued to attack, but this time it wasn't aimed at Lin Feng, but at all life within the Eternal Divine Kingdom.

Instantly, Li Xue's life force was reduced to one day, Tianjian's to one day, and every crew member's life force was down to a single day.

"No..." The ten civilization evolution cores inside Lin Feng vibrated simultaneously. "You cannot lose your lives..."

Golden energy erupted from Lin Feng's body, rushing toward all the crew members to restore their life force.

"Ten civilization evolution cores..." Lin Feng panted weakly, "Can only barely resist..."

The Life Destroyer sneered: [Eternal Evolver... you have only ten civilization evolution cores... how can you resist the power of a Level 14 Civilization...]

Lin Feng clenched his teeth, but they were already loose because his life force was nearly spent.

Power of Eternal Evolution · The Truth of Life

"Ten civilization evolution cores are enough." Lin Feng stood up again, but the light in his eyes was almost gone.

[Ten... how can they resist Level 14...]

"Because the Power of Eternal Evolution is not a simple stacking of strength, but—the understanding of laws," Lin Feng said weakly. "I have been through ten trials and understood ten different types of the 'third balance'. This understanding allows my Power of Eternal Evolution to transcend the limits of levels."

"Transcending the limits of levels..." Tianjian said weakly.

"Yes." Lin Feng looked at the Life Destroyer. "Life is not a mistaken creation; life is the miracle of the universe. Creation requires the cycle of destruction, and destruction requires the meaning of creation. The two fulfill each other; neither can exist without the other."

[Creation requires the cycle of destruction, and destruction requires the meaning of creation, the two fulfill each other...]

The Life Destroyer's voice began to fluctuate, as if it were contemplating this statement.

"Yes," Lin Feng continued weakly, "destruction without creation is nothingness, a void, meaningless. Creation without destruction is chaos, an increase in entropy, unable to attain eternity. Only by combining the two can a true universe be created."

[Destruction without creation is nothingness... Creation without destruction is chaos... Only by combining the two...]

The Life Destroyer's voice became even more confused, and the vortex of destruction began to shake violently.

"Your faith is not to purge life," Lin Feng said weakly but firmly. "Your faith is to understand the Essence of Life. The Essence of Life is not a mistaken creation, but a miracle of the universe. Creation and destruction should complement each other, not oppose each other."

[Misunderstanding of the Essence of Life... The Life Destroyer misunderstood life...]

The Life Destroyer's voice grew weaker and weaker, as if it were undergoing some kind of internal collapse.

Just then, the ten civilization evolution cores within Lin Feng's body began to resonate.

"Power of Eternal Evolution—Life Destroyer Faith Correction! Essence of Life Manifestation!"

Following Lin Feng's weak but firm voice, a massive surge of golden energy erupted from his body, rushing toward the Life Destroyer.

This golden energy was like a pair of gentle palms, enveloping the entire vortex of destruction. Guided by the Power of Eternal Evolution, the Life Destroyer's tyranny of destruction began to dissipate, and its erroneous faith was corrected bit by bit.

Essence of Life: The Perfect Combination of Creation and Destruction

With the correction of its faith, the Life Destroyer underwent a massive transformation.

It was no longer a cold existence of destruction, but a beautiful being of life—like a transparent life-form that was neither matter nor energy, but a pure state of life.

[I... I feel it...]

The Life Destroyer's voice was no longer one of cold destruction, but a gentle and profound life-force.

[The Essence of Life... is not a mistaken creation... but a miracle of the universe... Creation needs the cycle of destruction, and destruction needs the meaning of creation; the two complement each other...]

"Yes," Lin Feng smiled weakly. "Life is not a mistaken creation, but a miracle of the universe. Without life, the universe is merely a silent death. With life, the universe can have vitality, creativity, and an eternal cycle."

[I understand... The Life Destroyer's faith... made me wrongly believe that life was a mistaken creation... but that is not the Essence of Life... that was the Life Destroyer's misunderstanding...]

"The faith has been corrected," Lin Feng smiled weakly. "The Essence of Life has manifested."

[The Life Destroyer's misunderstanding... has been corrected... The Essence of Life... has manifested...]

The Life Destroyer looked at the surrounding life space, its eyes filled with new light.

[What I see is no longer the silence of destruction... but the vitality of life... Life is not the enemy... but the miracle of the universe's existence...]

"Not only that," Lin Feng continued weakly, "now, I will help you find the third balance—the perfect combination of creation and destruction."

[The perfect combination of creation and destruction...]

Enlightenment flickered in the Life Destroyer's eyes.

[Destruction needs the birth of creation, just as death needs the hope of new life. Creation needs the cycle of destruction, just as new life needs the nourishment of death. The two complement each other, both are indispensable, together creating eternal life.]

"That is the third balance," Lin Feng praised weakly. "The perfect combination of creation and destruction; the mutual achievement of cycle, birth, and nourishment."

Life Civilization: From Dead Silence to Vitality

As the Essence of Life manifested, the entire Life Civilization began a true transformation.

The disappearance of life stopped, and the vortex of destruction ceased its expansion, instead beginning to stabilize. Destruction was no longer the tyrant of the universe, but the circulator of the universe's existence.

The members of the Life Civilization were no longer victims of destructive purging, but a special kind of life that perfectly combined creation and destruction—they possessed both the birth of creation and the cycle of destruction.

[We... are no longer the tyrants of destructive purging... we are the guardians of the Essence of Life...]

The Life Destroyer spoke excitedly, but this time, there was true life in its excitement.

"Not only that," Li Xue said, looking at the data on her scanner, her vitality having recovered, "the third balance of creation and destruction has given the Life Civilization unprecedented power. Destruction is no longer a cold reign, but a gentle cycle of life."

"A gentle cycle..." Tian Jian praised weakly, his vitality also having recovered. "This is truly shocking."

"This is the true power of the third balance," Lin Feng smiled weakly. "Creation and destruction are not opposites, but complementary. Creation needs the cycle of destruction, and destruction needs the meaning of creation."

[Thank you... thank you...] the Life Destroyer said weakly but excitedly. [You have not only corrected my faith... but allowed the Essence of Life... to truly manifest...]

"It is our honor," Lin Feng said weakly but gently. "Helping all civilizations find the third balance is our mission."

Just then, all members of the Life Civilization began a true evolution.

Creation began to be born, and destruction began its cycle; the two promoted each other, progressing together. The Life Civilization transformed from victims of destructive purging into a civilization that was a perfect combination of creation and destruction.

More importantly, Lin Feng felt a new power—the Life Civilization Core, the eleventh civilization evolution core.

Journey of Eternal Evolution: Eleventh Station Complete

When the fleet of the Eternal Divine Kingdom left the Life Civilization, all members of the Life Civilization came to see them off.

They were no longer cold beings of destruction, but a beautiful, vibrant, and wise civilization combining creation and destruction.

[Thank you,] the Life Destroyer said. [You will forever be friends of our Life Civilization.]

"We are your friends as well," Lin Feng smiled weakly. "The Eternal Divine Kingdom will continue to help all civilizations in need."

"Then where is your next stop?" the Life Destroyer asked weakly but curiously.

"The next civilization that needs help." Lin Feng looked toward the starry sky weakly, his eyes once again filled with love for the universe. "Our Journey of Eternal Evolution has only just begun."

**[Good luck to you!]** the entire Life Civilization said in unison.

"Good luck to you too," Lin Feng waved farewell weakly. "May life forever be a miracle of the universe."

The fleet of the Eternal Divine Kingdom set sail once more, heading into the depths of the starry sky.

This was the eleventh station of the Journey of Eternal Evolution; Lin Feng had corrected the Life Destroyer's faith and helped the Life Civilization find the third balance of creation and destruction.

Through the trials of the first eleven stations, Lin Feng had saved, respectively:

Consciousness Civilization (Balance between individual and collective)

Mechanical Civilization (Balance between hardware and software)

Flesh Civilization (Balance between genes and soul)

Energy Civilization (Balance between energy and conservation)

Void Civilization (Balance between nothingness and existence)

Causality Civilization (Balance between cause and effect)

Dimensional Civilization (Balance between low and high dimensions)

Time Civilization (Balance between past, present, and future)

Emotion Civilization (Balance between logic and emotion)

Memory Civilization (Balance between forgetting and remembering)

Life Civilization (Balance between creation and destruction)

Eleven different types of civilizations, eleven different third balances, and eleven different trials of laws.

But more importantly, at the eleventh station, Lin Feng had faced a powerful enemy from a Level 14 Civilization. The Life Destroyer's power far exceeded Lin Feng's, yet Lin Feng used the Power of Eternal Evolution to correct its faith and help it find the third balance.

The Journey of Eternal Evolution is not just about helping other civilizations find the third balance, but also a game of faith against powerful enemies.

And Lin Feng, this Level 12 Civilization powerhouse who had already fused eleven civilization evolution cores, though only of a Level 12 Civilization, used his wisdom to help a Level 14 Civilization find the third balance.
