Chapter 65 The Ultimate Challenge of a Level 15 Civilization! The Final Battle of the Eternal Evolution Journey!
The fleet of the Eternal Divine Kingdom sailed through the starry sky after leaving the Life Civilization.
This time, Lin Feng did not ponder the revelations of the trials, nor did he think about the enemy's weaknesses. He was simply feeling—the entire Multiverse was fracturing.
At first, he thought it was just an illusion following the trial. But soon, he discovered it was a genuine fracture in the cycle of causality.
What happened yesterday was happening again today. What happened today would happen again tomorrow. All causality was in an infinite loop, and the entire Multiverse had fallen into eternal repetition.
"Lin Feng," Li Xue's voice carried an unprecedented despair, "Our time is in an infinite loop."
"An infinite loop?" Lin Feng looked at Li Xue and saw a strange expression on her face—a weariness from having experienced countless repetitions.
"Yes," Li Xue said weakly, "We have already experienced this moment countless times. I have said these words, you have asked this question; we are in an infinite loop, without end."
"Without end..." Lin Feng repeated, a flash of fear in his eyes, "Will we never walk out of this cycle?"
"It is not just us," Li Xue shook her head. "It is the entire Multiverse. All causality is looping, all history is repeating, and the entire Multiverse has fallen into eternal repetition."
Just then, Tian Jian rushed in.
"Lin Feng!" Tian Jian's voice was full of despair, "Our causality has been severed!"
"Causality severed?" Lin Feng looked at Tian Jian and found that Tian Jian's weapon had disappeared.
"Yes!" Tian Jian gripped the void, but there was nothing in his hand. "My weapon, my power, my very existence—their causality has been severed. I cannot act, because I have no 'cause' for action."
"No cause for action..." Lin Feng repeated, "Then you have no 'effect' of action."
"Yes!" Tian Jian said despairingly, "If causality is severed, the entire Multiverse will fall into absolute stillness. Without cause, there is no effect. Without a beginning, there is no end."
Just then, Li Xue also walked in, her face pale.
"Lin Feng..." Li Xue's voice trembled, "I have discovered a... despair-inducing civilization signal."
"A civilization signal?" Lin Feng repeated, his voice already filled with despair.
"Yes," Li Xue operated the detector, but the display was a complete blank. "The detector can't detect anything, because the act of detection itself has no cause. Without cause, there is no effect."
"Without cause, there is no effect..." Tian Jian repeated, "This means... the Multiverse is about to end."
"The Multiverse is about to end..." Lin Feng said despairingly, "We must go."
But in Lin Feng's voice, there was no longer a shred of hope.
Causality Terminator · Terminator of the Multiverse
When the fleet of the Eternal Divine Kingdom reached the center of the universe, everyone was completely shocked by the sight before them.
It wasn't a patch of darkness, nor was it distorted space, but rather—the absolute fracture of causality.
All stars were looping, but not a single star could move forward. All planets were repeating, but not a single planet could evolve. All life forms were repeating, but not a single life form could grow.
This was more than just a causal loop; this was the absolute threat of termination.
"This is the Causality Terminator..." Li Xue looked at the detector, which showed a blank screen. "Causality is fracturing frantically. At first, it was a single causal loop; now, countless causes are being severed every second."
"Not only that." Lin Feng looked toward the center of the universe, no light left in his eyes. "The Termination Vortex there is expanding frantically, at a speed countless times the speed of light."
"Countless times the speed of light..." Tian Jian said despairingly, "This has already broken through the absolute limits of the causal structure."
"Yes," Lin Feng said despairingly, "It is no longer bound by any laws of causality and can arbitrarily sever all causality in the universe."
"Arbitrarily severing causality..." Li Xue repeated.
"At this rate, all causality in the entire Multiverse will be severed within a day," Lin Feng continued. "Including us. Including our existence, our history, our future—all causality."
"All causality..." Tian Jian repeated, "Then, are we still alive?"
"Alive?" Lin Feng said despairingly, "Alive, but it no longer has meaning."
Just then, the fleet of the Eternal Divine Kingdom received a communication.
It was not a sound, nor was it a ripple of consciousness, but rather—a Termination Ripple of absolute nothingness.
[Causality... is the error of the universe... Termination... is the eternal truth...]
The Termination Ripple was filled with absolute nothingness, as if the entire universe had already terminated all causality.
[I am the Causality Terminator... the Ultimate Tyrant of the Level 15 Civilization... the severer of the Multiverse's causality...]
"Level 15 Civilization?" Lin Feng asked despairingly.
[Yes... I have broken through the absolute limits of Level 14 Civilizations... and ascended to a Level 15 Civilization... possessing the absolute power to sever causality...]
"The power of a Level 15 Civilization..." Tian Jian looked at Lin Feng and saw that Lin Feng had lost hope.
"A Level 15 Civilization can sever causality at will," Lin Feng said despairingly. "They can arbitrarily cut all causality in the universe, including existence, history, and the future. This power far exceeds a Level 14 Civilization."
"Far exceeds a Level 14 Civilization..." Li Xue's voice had faded, because her own causality was on the verge of being severed.
[Causality is the error of the universe, an eternal obstacle. Only absolute termination can allow the universe to reach a state of perfection. Therefore, I must sever all causality within the Multiverse to create a perfect universe of absolute termination.]
"Causality is the error of the universe..." Lin Feng repeated, but there was no hint of doubt in his voice, for he had already lost hope.
[Yes... causality leads to cosmic cycles and affects the eternity of the universe. Only absolute termination can bring the universe to a complete standstill, allowing it to reach the highest level.]
Just then, the Causality Terminator suddenly launched an attack.
This was not an ordinary energy attack, but rather—a Causality-Severing Attack.
In an instant, Lin Feng felt his own causality fracturing. One second he existed, the next his existence had disconnected from its cause, and the second after that, he completely ceased to exist.
"This is... a Causality-Severing Attack..." Lin Feng said despairingly, his voice already vanishing, "It is severing all my causality..."
The Causality Terminator continued its attack, but this time it was not aimed at Lin Feng, but at the causality of the entire Eternal Divine Kingdom.
Instantly, Li Xue's causality fractured, Tian Jian's causality fractured, and the causality of all crew members fractured.
"No..." Inside Lin Feng, the eleven civilization evolution cores vibrated simultaneously, "You cannot lose your causality..."
Golden energy erupted from Lin Feng's body, rushing toward all the crew members to restore their causality.
"Eleven civilization evolution cores..." Lin Feng panted despairingly, "Can only barely resist..."
The Causality Terminator sneered: [Eternal Evolver... you have only eleven civilization evolution cores... how can you resist the power of a Level 15 Civilization...]
Lin Feng clenched his teeth, but his teeth had already fractured because his causality was about to break.
Power of Eternal Evolution · The Truth of the Causal Loop
"Eleven civilization evolution cores are enough." Lin Feng stood up again, but all light had vanished from his eyes.
[Eleven... how can you resist Level 15...]
"Because the Power of Eternal Evolution is not a simple stacking of strength, but rather—the understanding of laws," Lin Feng said despairingly. "I have gone through eleven trial stations and understood eleven different types of the third balance. These understandings allow my Power of Eternal Evolution to transcend the limits of levels."
"Transcending the limits of levels..." Tian Jian said despairingly.
"Yes." Lin Feng looked at the Causality Terminator, "Causality is not the error of the universe; causality is the eternal cycle of the universe. The beginning requires the return of the end, and the end requires the birth of the beginning; the two fulfill each other, and neither can be omitted."
[The beginning requires the return of the end, the end requires the birth of the beginning, the two fulfill each other...]
The Causality Terminator's voice began to fluctuate, as if it were contemplating this statement.
"Yes," Lin Feng continued despairingly, "An end without a beginning is void, a hollow, and meaningless. A beginning without an end is a loop, a repetition, and cannot move forward. Only when the two combine can true eternity be created."
[An end without a beginning is void... a beginning without an end is a loop... only when the two combine...]
The Causality Terminator's voice became even more confused, and the Termination Vortex began to vibrate violently.
"Your faith is not in severing causality," Lin Feng said despairingly yet firmly. "Your faith lies in understanding the essence of the causal loop. The essence of the causal loop is not a cosmic error, but the eternal cycle of the universe. The beginning and the end should fulfill each other, not oppose each other."
[Misunderstanding of the essence of the causal loop... the Causality Terminator misunderstood the causal loop...]
The Causality Terminator's voice grew weaker and weaker, as if it were undergoing some kind of internal collapse.
Just then, the eleven civilization evolution cores within Lin Feng began to resonate.
"Power of Eternal Evolution—Causality Terminator Faith Correction! The Essence of the Causal Loop, manifest!"
Following Lin Feng's despairing yet firm voice, a massive surge of golden energy poured out of his body, rushing toward the Causality Terminator.
This golden energy was like a pair of gentle palms, enveloping the entire Termination Vortex. Under the guidance of the Power of Eternal Evolution, the Causality Terminator's tyranny of termination began to dissipate, and its erroneous faith was corrected bit by bit.
The Essence of the Causal Loop · The Perfect Combination of Beginning and End
With the correction of the Causality Terminator's faith, the Causality Terminator underwent a massive transformation.
It was no longer an existence of absolute termination, but a beautiful entity of the causal loop—like a transparent life-form of causal cycles, being neither matter nor energy, but a pure state of causal looping.
[I... understand...]
The Causality Terminator's voice was no longer one of absolute termination, but a gentle and profound causal loop.
[The essence of the causal loop... is not the error of the universe... but the eternal cycle of the universe... the beginning requires the return of the end, the end requires the birth of the beginning, and the two fulfill each other...]
"Yes." Lin Feng smiled despairingly, "Causality is not the error of the universe, but the eternal cycle of the universe. Without causality, the universe is just a void. With causality, the universe can have cycles, evolution, and eternity."
[I understand... the faith of the Causality Terminator... made me mistakenly believe that causality was an error of the universe... but this is not the essence of the causal loop... this was the Causality Terminator's misunderstanding...]
"The faith has been corrected." Lin Feng smiled despairingly, "The essence of the causal loop has been revealed."
[The Causality Terminator's misunderstanding... has been corrected... the essence of the causal loop... has been revealed...]
The Causality Terminator looked at the surrounding causal loop space, its eyes filled with new light.
[What I see is no longer the nothingness of termination... but the eternity of the causal loop... causality is not the enemy... but the eternal cycle of the universe's existence...]
"Not only that." Lin Feng continued despairingly, "Now, I will help you find the third balance—the perfect combination of beginning and end."
[The perfect combination of beginning and end...]
An epiphany flashed in the Causality Terminator's eyes.
[The end requires the birth of the beginning, just as death requires the hope of new life. The beginning requires the return of the end, just as new life requires the nourishment of death. The two fulfill each other, neither can be omitted, together creating the eternal causal loop.]
"This is the third balance." Lin Feng marveled despairingly, "The perfect combination of beginning and end, the mutual fulfillment of return, birth, and nourishment."
Multiverse · From Fracture to Eternal Loop
With the revelation of the essence of the causal loop, the entire Multiverse began a true transformation.
The fracturing of causality stopped, and the Termination Vortex ceased its expansion, instead beginning to stabilize. Termination was no longer a threat to the universe, but rather the cycler of the universe's existence.
The causality of the Multiverse was no longer a threat of fracture, but a special state of the perfect combination of beginning and end—possessing both the birth of the beginning and the return of the end.
[We... are no longer tyrants of termination... we are the guardians of the essence of the causal loop...]
The Causality Terminator said excitedly, but this time his excitement contained a true causal loop.
"Not only that." Li Xue looked at the detector, her causality having been restored, "The third balance of beginning and end has given the Multiverse unprecedented power. Termination is no longer an absolute threat, but the eternal cycle of the causal loop."
"An eternal cycle..." Tian Jian marveled despairingly, his causality also restored, "This is too shocking."
"This is the true power of the third balance." Lin Feng smiled despairingly, "Beginning and end are not opposites, but mutual fulfillments. The beginning requires the return of the end, and the end requires the birth of the beginning."
[Thank you... thank you...]
"It is our honor." Lin Feng said despairingly yet gently, "Helping all civilizations find the third balance is our mission."
Just then, all civilizations throughout the Multiverse began a true evolution.
Beginnings began to be born, and ends began to return; the two promoted each other, progressing together. The Multiverse shifted from a threat of fracture into a causal loop universe where beginning and end were perfectly combined.
More importantly, Lin Feng felt a new power—the Causal Loop Civilization Core, the twelfth civilization evolution core.
Journey of Eternal Evolution · Ultimate Trial Complete
When the fleet of the Eternal Divine Kingdom left the center of the universe, members of all civilizations came to see them off.
They were no longer threats of fracture, but a beautiful, eternal, and wise civilization combining beginning and end.
[Thank you,] the Causality Terminator said, [You will forever be friends of our Causal Loop Civilization.]
"We are your friends as well." Lin Feng smiled despairingly, "The Eternal Divine Kingdom will continue to help all civilizations in need."
"Then where is your next stop?" the Causality Terminator asked despairingly yet curiously.
"There is no next stop." Lin Feng looked toward the starry sky despairingly, but his eyes once again held a love for the universe, "Our Journey of Eternal Evolution is complete."
**[Complete...]** all civilizations said simultaneously.
"Yes." Lin Feng smiled despairingly, "I have helped all civilizations find the third balance. The Journey of Eternal Evolution is complete."
[Then what about you?] the Causality Terminator asked, [What is your destiny?]
"My destiny..." Lin Feng said despairingly yet firmly, "is to become the Eternal Evolver."
Just then, the twelve civilization evolution cores within Lin Feng resonated simultaneously.
An unprecedented surge of golden energy erupted from Lin Feng's body, rushing toward the entire Multiverse.
This golden energy was like a pair of gentle palms, enveloping the entire Multiverse. Under the guidance of the Power of Eternal Evolution, Lin Feng began a true evolution.
It was not a Level 12 civilization, nor Level 13, nor Level 14, nor even Level 15.
It was—the Eternal Civilization.
