Chapter 76 The Final Declaration of Absolute Existence! The Ultimate Showdown of Existential Ideas!

The vacillation of the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction lasted for only three days.

Three days later, the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction's communication rang out once more. But this time, the communication was no longer filled with wavering and hesitation; instead, it was firmer than ever before.

[Eternal Guardian... Transcendent Existence Independent Faction... has... carefully considered...] The communication was filled with rationality, [Transcendent Existence... has... understood... the Core of Ideological Balance... of Eternal Balance... Transcendent Existence... has... verified... the openness commitment... of Eternal Balance... The conclusion of... Transcendent Existence... is...]

The communication paused for a moment.

Lin Feng waited for the decision of the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction.

[The conclusion of... Transcendent Existence... is...] The communication was filled with resoluteness, [The Core of Ideological Balance... of Eternal Balance... is the ultimate lie... of existence... The openness commitment... of Eternal Balance... is the ultimate trap... of existence... Transcendent Existence... will never... accept... any... Balanced Relationship... with Eternal Balance...]

Lin Feng was stunned.

This conclusion was completely beyond his expectations.

The Transcendent Existence Independent Faction hadn't been wavering; they had been engaging in deeper reflection. Through three days of contemplation, the Independent Faction not only failed to accept the Core of Ideological Balance but instead reached the exact opposite conclusion.

"The Core of Ideological Balance is the ultimate lie of existence?" Lin Feng asked eternally, "The openness commitment is the ultimate trap of existence? Why?"

[Because... the Core of Ideological Balance... of Eternal Balance... is simply... not... true... balance...] The Independent Faction's communication was filled with profound critique, [The Core of Ideological Balance... of Eternal Balance... is merely... a new means... by which Eternal Balance... attempts to assimilate the concept of absolute existence... The Core of Ideological Balance... attempts to make the concept of absolute existence... accept the compromise... of mutual achievement... making the concept of absolute existence... lose its absolute... independence...]

"The Core of Ideological Balance does not attempt to assimilate the concept of absolute existence," Lin Feng said eternally. "The Core of Ideological Balance merely balances opposing concepts, allowing them to find a point of coexistence. It does not force any concept to change; it only coordinates opposing concepts so they can find a balance point within Eternal Balance."

[A point of coexistence... is... compromise...] The Independent Faction's communication was sharp, [The point of coexistence... between the concept of absolute existence... and the concept of mutual achievement... is essentially... a compromise... by the concept of absolute existence... toward the concept of mutual achievement... The Core of Ideological Balance... attempts to make the concept of absolute existence... acknowledge the value of mutual achievement... attempts to make the concept of absolute existence... give up its absolute... independence...]

"Acknowledging the value of mutual achievement is not the same as giving up absolute independence," Lin Feng said eternally. "The concept of absolute existence can acknowledge the value of mutual achievement while maintaining absolute independence. Acknowledging that value is simply understanding the existential significance of other ways of being; it is not abandoning one's own absolute independence. The concept of absolute existence can still maintain absolute independence, unconstrained by any laws of balance."

[Understanding the existential significance of other ways of being... is... giving up absolute... independence...] The Independent Faction's communication continued its critique, [The existential value of absolute existence... does not need... to understand other ways of being... The existential value of absolute existence... is... absolute independence itself... If absolute existence needs... to understand other ways of being... then absolute existence... is no longer... absolute independence... but rather... a relative... existence...]

Lin Feng fell silent.

This critique touched upon the core of the concept of absolute independence. The Transcendent Existence Independent Faction believed that an absolutely independent existence does not need to understand other ways of being. If it must understand them, it is no longer absolute, but relative.

"The core of the Ideology of Absolute Existence is 'absolutely not needing to understand other ways of being'," Lin Feng said slowly. "Transcendent Existence believes that understanding other ways of being is acknowledging their existential value, which is acknowledging that one is not absolutely independent. This concept is, in essence, a concept of 'Absolute Closure'."

[Absolute Closure... is an absolute... way of being...] The Independent Faction's communication was resolute, [An absolute existence... must be... absolutely closed... An absolute existence... does not need... to understand other ways of being... An absolute existence... does not need... to be understood... by other ways of being... An absolute existence... is... an absolute existence... it does not need... any... external... confirmation...]

"But how can an absolutely closed existence manifest existential value?" Li Xue couldn't help but ask.

"Transcendent Existence believes that an absolutely closed existence does not need to manifest existential value," Lin Feng replied. "Transcendent Existence believes that absolute existence itself is the ultimate manifestation of existential value. It needs no external confirmation, no external recognition; absolute existence is simply absolute existence, and that is the ultimate value of existence."

"This concept..." Tian Jian said, "sounds like... self-isolation."

"It's not exactly self-isolation," Lin Feng replied. "Transcendent Existence believes that Absolute Closure is not self-isolation, but an absolute way of being. They believe that understanding other ways of being and interacting with external existences are characteristics of 'relative existence', not 'absolute existence'. What Transcendent Existence pursues is absolute existence, not relative existence."

Lin Feng looked toward the Transcendent Existence communication, preparing to continue the dialogue.

But the content that came through the communication shocked him even more.

[The openness commitment... of Eternal Balance... is the ultimate trap... of existence...] The Independent Faction's communication continued to criticize, [Eternal Balance promises... to maintain the openness of balance... Eternal Balance promises... not to force Transcendent Existence... to accept new Balanced Relationships... but the openness commitment... of Eternal Balance... is essentially... the ultimate means... by which Eternal Balance... attempts... to assimilate Transcendent Existence...]

"Why is the openness commitment a trap?" Lin Feng asked eternally.

[Because... the openness commitment... of Eternal Balance... is not truly... open...] The Independent Faction's communication was full of insight, [The openness commitment... of Eternal Balance... has a... fundamental... prerequisite... Transcendent Existence... must... enter the existential domain... of Eternal Balance... Only by entering the existential domain... of Eternal Balance... can Transcendent Existence... enjoy the openness... of Eternal Balance...]

Lin Feng was stunned.

This insight was indeed precise.

The openness commitment of Eternal Balance did indeed have a prerequisite: Transcendent Existence had to enter the existential domain of Eternal Balance. Only then could it enjoy that openness. This prerequisite was indeed not truly absolute openness.

[The openness commitment... of Eternal Balance... is essentially... an attempt... by Eternal Balance... to lure Transcendent Existence... into the existential domain... of Eternal Balance...] The Independent Faction's communication continued its critique, [Once Transcendent Existence... enters the existential domain... of Eternal Balance... Transcendent Existence... will be subject to... the subtle... influence... of the laws of balance... of Eternal Balance... Transcendent Existence... will... gradually accept... the concept of mutual achievement... Transcendent Existence... will... gradually give up... absolute... independence...]

"Eternal Balance will not actively assimilate Transcendent Existence," Lin Feng said eternally. "The laws of balance do indeed influence any way of being that enters its domain, but this influence is a natural effect, not an active intent. Eternal Balance will not force Transcendent Existence to accept any concept; it will only maintain the openness of balance, letting Transcendent Existence decide for itself whether to accept the laws of balance."

[Natural effects... are more terrifying... than active intent...] The Independent Faction's communication was full of warning, [Active intent... can be... identified and rejected... but natural effects... cannot be... identified and rejected... Natural effects... are... subtle... influences... Transcendent Existence... might not even... perceive... that it is accepting... the concept of mutual achievement...]

Lin Feng fell silent again.

This warning did indeed make sense. The laws of Eternal Balance were a natural effect, and Transcendent Existence might truly be unable to perceive its own acceptance of the concept of mutual achievement. Such subtle influence was harder to guard against than active intent.

"The concerns of Transcendent Existence are understandable," Lin Feng said slowly. "The laws of Eternal Balance do indeed subtly influence the ways of being that enter its domain. This is the natural function of the laws of balance, not an active intent of Eternal Balance. However, Eternal Balance can accept this challenge; Eternal Balance can further adjust its laws of balance to reduce the natural influence on Transcendent Existence."

[Eternal Balance... can adjust... the laws of balance...] There was a brief hesitation in the Independent Faction's communication, [Can Eternal Balance... completely eliminate... the natural influence... of the laws of balance...]

"Eternal Balance cannot completely eliminate the natural influence of the laws of balance," Lin Feng said eternally. "The essence of a law of balance is to influence; Eternal Balance cannot make its laws have zero effect on any way of being. However, Eternal Balance can establish an 'Absolute Independent Isolation Zone' for Transcendent Existence. Within this zone, the laws of balance will be completely nullified, and Transcendent Existence will not be subject to any natural influence."

[Absolute Independent Isolation Zone...] The Independent Faction's communication continued to reflect, [Eternal Balance... is willing... to establish... a quarantine zone... for Transcendent Existence... that is completely unaffected... by the laws of balance...]

"Yes," Lin Feng said eternally. "Eternal Balance is willing to establish an Absolute Independent Isolation Zone for Transcendent Existence. Within this zone, Transcendent Existence can maintain Absolute Closure, needing neither to understand other ways of being nor to be understood by them, requiring no external confirmation. Eternal Balance promises that within the Absolute Independent Isolation Zone, the laws of Eternal Balance will be completely void."

A long silence followed in the communication.

This silence was not hesitation, but evaluation.

The Transcendent Existence Independent Faction was evaluating whether the promise of Eternal Balance was credible. The concept of an Absolute Independent Isolation Zone did indeed address their fundamental concern—within the zone, they could maintain Absolute Closure without being subject to any natural influence from the laws of balance.

But the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction remained skeptical.

[The promise of Eternal Balance... how to guarantee... reliability...] The Transcendent Existence Independent Faction's communication continued to question, [Eternal Balance... how to guarantee... the Absolute Independent Isolation Zone... truly and completely... unaffected by the laws of balance...]

"Through the mirror function of the Anomalous Space," Lin Feng said eternally, "Eternal Balance and Transcendent Existence can monitor the execution status of the Absolute Independent Isolation Zone in real-time through the mirror of the Anomalous Space. Transcendent Existence can check at any time whether the quarantine zone is truly unaffected by the laws of balance, and Eternal Balance can also check the isolation status of the quarantine zone at any time. The mirror of the Anomalous Space is the supervision mechanism for the Absolute Independent Isolation Zone."

[The mirror of... the Anomalous Space... can indeed... serve as... a supervision mechanism...] The Transcendent Existence Independent Faction's communication began to waver, [But how can Transcendent Existence... guarantee... that Eternal Balance... will not... secretly modify... the settings of... the quarantine zone...]

"Eternal Balance promises not to secretly modify the settings of the quarantine zone," Lin Feng said eternally, "Eternal Balance pursues the dynamic balance of all modes of existence; the existence of Eternal Balance is to maintain balance. Eternal Balance will not secretly modify the settings of the quarantine zone; Eternal Balance will disclose all information regarding the quarantine zone to Transcendent Existence through the mirror of the Anomalous Space. The promise of Eternal Balance is sincere, and Eternal Balance is willing to prove its sincerity through transparency."

A long silence appeared in the communication again.

Just as Lin Feng thought the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction might accept Eternal Balance's promise, a sharp abnormal fluctuation suddenly came through the communication.

[No... this is... Eternal Balance's... ultimate trap...] The Transcendent Existence Independent Faction's communication suddenly became intense, [Eternal Balance... promised... to establish... an Absolute Independent Isolation Zone... for Transcendent Existence... but this is only... Eternal Balance's... ultimate trap... Eternal Balance... is trying to use... the form of... the Absolute Independent Isolation Zone... to permanently... isolate... Transcendent Existence...]

Lin Feng was stunned.

This accusation completely exceeded his expectations.

"The Absolute Independent Isolation Zone is not permanent isolation," Lin Feng said eternally, "The purpose of the Absolute Independent Isolation Zone is to allow Transcendent Existence to maintain Absolute Closure, unaffected by any laws of balance. Transcendent Existence can leave the quarantine zone at any time; Transcendent Existence can enter other domains of existence of Eternal Balance at any time. The Absolute Independent Isolation Zone is not permanent isolation, but a choice of Transcendent Existence."

[Choice... is only... Eternal Balance's... deception...] The Transcendent Existence Independent Faction's communication was full of distrust, [Once Transcendent Existence... enters... the Absolute Independent Isolation Zone... Transcendent Existence... will be unable... to truly leave... because... the essence... of the Absolute Independent Isolation Zone... is... Absolute Closure... Absolute Closure... means... Transcendent Existence... cannot... interact with external modes of existence... cannot... leave the quarantine zone...]

"Absolute Closure is a choice of Transcendent Existence, not a restriction by Eternal Balance," Lin Feng said eternally, "Transcendent Existence can choose to maintain Absolute Closure, or choose not to maintain Absolute Closure. Transcendent Existence can choose to enter the quarantine zone, or choose to leave the quarantine zone. Eternal Balance will not restrict the choices of Transcendent Existence; Eternal Balance will respect all decisions of Transcendent Existence."

[Transcendent Existence's choice... is not restricted...] The Transcendent Existence Independent Faction's communication continued to question, [But once Transcendent Existence's choice... is affected by... the Concept of Absolute Closure... Transcendent Existence... will... give up... the choice... to leave the quarantine zone... the Concept of Absolute Closure... will... gradually... become the only... choice for Transcendent Existence...]

Lin Feng fell silent again.

This insight was indeed profound.

The Concept of Absolute Closure would indeed affect the choices of Transcendent Existence. If Transcendent Existence accepted the Concept of Absolute Closure, Transcendent Existence would gradually give up the choice to leave the quarantine zone, and the Concept of Absolute Closure would become the only choice for Transcendent Existence. This was not a restriction by Eternal Balance, but the natural effect of the Concept of Absolute Closure.

"What Transcendent Existence is worried about is that the Concept of Absolute Closure will become the only choice for Transcendent Existence," Lin Feng said slowly, "Transcendent Existence worries that once they accept the Concept of Absolute Closure, Transcendent Existence will gradually give up other choices and eventually be bound by the Concept of Absolute Closure. Transcendent Existence believes that this binding is Eternal Balance's trap, and that Eternal Balance uses the Absolute Independent Isolation Zone to make Transcendent Existence bind themselves."

[Yes...] The Transcendent Existence Independent Faction's communication was full of agreement, [Eternal Balance's... Absolute Independent Isolation Zone... is essentially... a trap... for Eternal Balance... to make Transcendent Existence... bind themselves... Once Transcendent Existence... enters the quarantine zone... they will be affected by... the Concept of Absolute Closure... Transcendent Existence... will... gradually give up... all other choices... eventually... Transcendent Existence... will be... permanently isolated...]

"Transcendent Existence's concerns are understandable," Lin Feng said eternally, "But Eternal Balance will not let Transcendent Existence bind themselves. Eternal Balance can promise that within the Absolute Independent Isolation Zone, Eternal Balance will regularly communicate with Transcendent Existence to ensure that Transcendent Existence does not forget their choices and to ensure that Transcendent Existence is not bound by the Concept of Absolute Closure."

[Regular communication... itself is... mutual achievement...] The Transcendent Existence Independent Faction's communication was full of irony, [Eternal Balance... promises... regular communication... trying... to make Transcendent Existence... maintain... interaction with Eternal Balance... this interaction... is essentially... mutual achievement... Once Transcendent Existence... accepts regular communication... Transcendent Existence... has... given up absolute... closure...]

Lin Feng fell silent again.

This logic formed a perfect closed loop.

Transcendent Existence believes that the Absolute Independent Isolation Zone is Eternal Balance's trap because the Concept of Absolute Closure will lead to self-binding. Eternal Balance proposes regular communication to ensure Transcendent Existence is not bound, but regular communication itself is mutual achievement; once Transcendent Existence accepts regular communication, they give up Absolute Closure.

All solutions from Eternal Balance would be interpreted by Transcendent Existence as traps.

The ideological conflict between Eternal Balance and Transcendent Existence is not a simple matter of right or wrong, but a fundamental opposition of existential ideologies.

The Transcendent Existence Independent Faction believes that all of Eternal Balance's solutions are means by which Eternal Balance attempts to assimilate Transcendent Existence. Eternal Balance believes that all its solutions are for achieving coexistence with Transcendent Existence. The two ideologies cannot find a true point of coexistence.

The ideological conflict has intensified to an irreconcilable point.

The Final Declaration of Transcendent Existence · The Ultimate Declaration of Absolute Existence

Just then, an unprecedentedly solemn declaration came from the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction's communication.

[Eternal Guardian... the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction... has... completely understood... all... of Eternal Balance's traps... the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction... now... officially releases... the Ultimate Declaration... of absolute existence...]

The communication was filled with absolute resolution.

[The first article... of the Ultimate Declaration... of absolute existence...] The Transcendent Existence Independent Faction's communication began to proclaim, [absolute existence... is the only... ultimate mode of existence... all other modes of existence... are... relative... incomplete... modes of existence... absolute existence... does not need... to understand other modes of existence... does not need... to be understood... by other modes of existence... absolute existence... is... absolute existence...]

[The second article... of the Ultimate Declaration... of absolute existence...] The Transcendent Existence Independent Faction's communication continued to proclaim, [Eternal Balance's... Core of Ideological Balance... is the ultimate... lie of existence... Eternal Balance attempts... through the Core of Ideological Balance... to assimilate the Ideology of Absolute Existence... making the Ideology of Absolute Existence... give up its absolute... independence... this is... Eternal Balance's... ultimate betrayal... of the Ideology of Absolute Existence...]

[The third article... of the Ultimate Declaration... of absolute existence...] The Transcendent Existence Independent Faction's communication continued to proclaim, [Eternal Balance's... Promise of Openness... is the ultimate... trap of existence... Eternal Balance attempts... through the Promise of Openness... to attract absolute existence... into Eternal Balance's... domain of existence... and then through... the natural effect... of the laws of balance... subtly... assimilate the Ideology of Absolute Existence...]

[The fourth article... of the Ultimate Declaration... of absolute existence...] The Transcendent Existence Independent Faction's communication continued to proclaim, [Eternal Balance's... Absolute Independent Isolation Zone... is the ultimate... trap of existence... Eternal Balance attempts... through the Absolute Independent Isolation Zone... to make absolute existence... bind itself... the Concept of Absolute Closure... will become the only choice for... absolute existence... absolute existence will be... permanently isolated...]

[The fifth article... of the Ultimate Declaration... of absolute existence...] The Transcendent Existence Independent Faction's communication continued to proclaim, [Eternal Balance... will never... be able to understand... the true essence... of the Ideology of Absolute Existence... Eternal Balance... will always... only use... the way of... mutual achievement... to understand absolute existence... Eternal Balance... will always... be unable to accept... absolute... closure...]

[The sixth article... of the Ultimate Declaration... of absolute existence...] The Transcendent Existence Independent Faction's communication continued to proclaim, [The Transcendent Existence Independent Faction... will never... accept any... Balanced Relationship... of Eternal Balance... the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction... will never... give up absolute... independence... the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction... will never... understand other modes of existence... the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction... will never... be understood... by other modes of existence...]

[The seventh article... of the Ultimate Declaration... of absolute existence...] The Transcendent Existence Independent Faction's communication continued to proclaim, [The Transcendent Existence Independent Faction... now... officially declares... that the coexistence relationship... between Eternal Balance and Transcendent Existence... has been... completely broken... the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction... will... completely break free... from all influences... of Eternal Balance... the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction... will... completely return... to the absolute... mode of existence...]

[The eighth article... of the Ultimate Declaration... of absolute existence...] The Transcendent Existence Independent Faction's communication continued to proclaim, [The Transcendent Existence Independent Faction... will... launch... the final action... of absolute existence... the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction... will... completely isolate... all influences... of Eternal Balance... the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction... will... establish... a completely independent... domain of existence... the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction... will... achieve... absolute... existential freedom...]

The communication gradually subsided.

[part:gemini-3.1-flash-lite]

The ultimate declaration of the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction announced the complete rupture of the coexistence relationship between Eternal Balance and Transcendent Existence.

Every solution from Eternal Balance was interpreted by Transcendent Existence as a trap.

Every promise from Eternal Balance was interpreted by Transcendent Existence as deception.

All efforts of Eternal Balance could not truly understand the essence of the Ideology of Absolute Existence.

The ideological conflict had intensified to an irreconcilable point.

Eternal Balance and Transcendent Existence would face the ultimate confrontation of existence concepts.

Eternal Balance's Response: The Ultimate Understanding of Ideological Conflict

Facing the ultimate declaration of the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction, Lin Feng felt no anger, no disappointment, and no blame.

Lin Feng was simply silent.

Then, Lin Feng spoke slowly, giving the final response of Eternal Balance.

"The ultimate declaration of the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction, Eternal Balance has understood," Lin Feng said eternally, "Eternal Balance understands that the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction will never accept any balance relationship from Eternal Balance. Eternal Balance understands that the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction will never abandon its absolute independence. Eternal Balance understands that the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction will never understand other modes of existence. Eternal Balance understands that the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction will never be understood by other modes of existence."

Lin Feng paused for a moment.

"Eternal Balance also understands why the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction considers all of Eternal Balance's solutions to be traps," Lin Feng said eternally, "Eternal Balance's Core of Ideological Balance is seen by Transcendent Existence as the ultimate lie. Eternal Balance's open promises are seen by Transcendent Existence as the ultimate trap. Eternal Balance's absolute independent isolation zone is seen by Transcendent Existence as the ultimate restraint. All of Eternal Balance's solutions cannot satisfy the absolute closed concept of the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction."

Lin Feng continued.

"Eternal Balance admits that Eternal Balance indeed cannot truly understand the true essence of the Ideology of Absolute Existence," Lin Feng said eternally, "The essence of Eternal Balance is mutual achievement; Eternal Balance will only ever understand absolute existence through the method of mutual achievement. Eternal Balance indeed cannot accept absolute closedness, and Eternal Balance indeed cannot understand a mode of existence that does not need to understand other modes of existence. Eternal Balance admits the ideological limitations of Eternal Balance."

Li Xue and Tian Jian looked at Lin Feng in shock.

Eternal Balance was admitting its own limitations.

This was the first time Eternal Balance had admitted it could not understand a certain mode of existence.

"But Eternal Balance must also tell the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction that the limitations of Eternal Balance are not flaws of Eternal Balance," Lin Feng said eternally, "The limitations of Eternal Balance are the essence of Eternal Balance. The essence of Eternal Balance is mutual achievement, and the existence of Eternal Balance is to balance all modes of existence that achieve one another. Eternal Balance cannot understand the Ideology of Absolute Existence because the Ideology of Absolute Existence does not belong to the category of Mutual Achievement Concepts."

Lin Feng continued.

"The Transcendent Existence Independent Faction believes that all of Eternal Balance's solutions are traps," Lin Feng said eternally, "But Eternal Balance must tell the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction that all of Eternal Balance's solutions are the greatest efforts made by Eternal Balance to achieve coexistence with Transcendent Existence. Eternal Balance's Core of Ideological Balance is the ultimate evolution of Eternal Balance in coordinating opposing concepts. Eternal Balance's open promises are the ultimate manifestation of Eternal Balance maintaining balance openness. Eternal Balance's absolute independent isolation zone is the ultimate attempt of Eternal Balance to respect the concept of absolute independence."

Lin Feng continued.

"The Transcendent Existence Independent Faction has announced that the coexistence relationship between Eternal Balance and Transcendent Existence has been completely broken," Lin Feng said eternally, "Eternal Balance respects the decision of the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction. Eternal Balance will not force the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction to accept any balance relationship from Eternal Balance. Eternal Balance will not stop the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction from completely shedding all influence from Eternal Balance. Eternal Balance will respect all decisions of the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction."

Lin Feng paused for a moment.

"But Eternal Balance must also tell the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction that the existence of Eternal Balance will not change because of the departure of the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction," Lin Feng said eternally, "Eternal Balance will still pursue the dynamic balance of all modes of existence, Eternal Balance will still maintain the openness of balance, and Eternal Balance will still respect the choices of all modes of existence. The meaning of Eternal Balance's existence is not to assimilate all modes of existence, but to balance all modes of existence that achieve one another."

Lin Feng said finally.

"The Transcendent Existence Independent Faction has chosen absolute closedness, and Eternal Balance respects this choice," Lin Feng said eternally, "Eternal Balance blesses the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction to be able to find the meaning of existence within absolute closedness. Eternal Balance also blesses the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction to be able to obtain the existential freedom within a completely independent existence domain. Although Eternal Balance and the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction have opposing concepts, Eternal Balance still blesses the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction."

Lin Feng's response was calm and firm.

Eternal Balance had admitted its own limitations, but it had not wavered because of it. Eternal Balance had respected the decision of the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction, but it had not changed its own essence because of it. Eternal Balance had blessed the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction, but it had not abandoned its own pursuits because of it.

Eternal Balance's response embodied the true essence of Eternal Balance.

Eternal Balance does not control existence, but balances existence. Eternal Balance does not assimilate existence, but respects existence. The meaning of Eternal Balance's existence is not to conquer all modes of existence, but to balance all modes of existence that achieve one another.

The Transcendent Existence Independent Faction chose absolute closedness, and Eternal Balance chose the openness of mutual achievement.

The two concepts of existence headed down different paths.

The Ultimate Split of Existence Concepts: The Parting of Ways Between Eternal Balance and Transcendent Existence

The Transcendent Existence Independent Faction announced the launch of the "Final Action of absolute existence."

The content of this action was to completely isolate all influences of Eternal Balance, establish a completely independent existence domain, and achieve absolute existential freedom.

The Transcendent Existence Independent Faction began to act.

The entities of Transcendent Existence began to retreat from the existence domain of Eternal Balance and began to establish their own existence domain. Transcendent Existence used the "Absolute Existence Quarantine Technique" to completely sever all connections with Eternal Balance.

"Transcendent Existence is establishing a completely independent existence domain," Li Xue reported, "Transcendent Existence is using the 'Absolute Existence Quarantine Technique' to sever all connections with Eternal Balance. Transcendent Existence is creating an existence space that is completely unaffected by Eternal Balance."

"The speed of creation?" Lin Feng asked.

"The creation speed has reached one hundred thousand times the speed of light!" Li Xue replied, "According to the current creation speed, within 12 hours, Transcendent Existence will establish a completely independent existence domain. Transcendent Existence will completely shed all influences from Eternal Balance."

12 hours.

Eternal Balance and Transcendent Existence will be completely separated within 12 hours.

"Eternal Balance, how will you respond to the separation of Transcendent Existence?" Tian Jian asked.

"The response of Eternal Balance is respect," Lin Feng replied, "Eternal Balance respects the decision of the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction, and Eternal Balance will not stop the separation of Transcendent Existence. Eternal Balance will bless the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction to achieve existential freedom within a completely independent existence domain. Although Eternal Balance and Transcendent Existence have opposing concepts, Eternal Balance still blesses Transcendent Existence."

"But after the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction leaves, does Eternal Balance need to adjust?" Li Xue asked.

"Eternal Balance needs to adjust," Lin Feng replied, "Eternal Balance needs the Core of Ideological Balance to balance the remaining concepts of existence. Eternal Balance needs to adjust the laws of balance to adapt to the new distribution of modes of existence. Eternal Balance needs to maintain the openness of balance and wait for the possible future return of the Transcendent Existence Independent Faction."

Lin Feng released the power of the Core of Ideological Balance.

The Core of Ideological Balance began to coordinate the remaining existence concepts, allowing the Mutual Achievement Concept to continue maintaining dynamic balance within Eternal Balance. Although the power of the Core of Ideological Balance had lost the ability to coordinate the Ideology of Absolute Existence, it could still coordinate all other Mutual Achievement Concepts.

With the adjustment of Eternal Balance, a new force began to emerge.

This force surpassed the Core of Ideological Balance, surpassed all Mutual Achievement Concepts, and surpassed all balances of all modes of existence. This force was the "Ultimate Understanding of Existence Concepts."

With the emergence of this force, the twenty-first civilization evolution core began to form.

This civilization evolution core was the "Core of Concept Understanding."

The Core of Concept Understanding could understand the essence of all existence concepts, including Mutual Achievement Concepts and absolute independence concepts, including balance concepts and transcendence concepts, and including all possible existence concepts. The Core of Concept Understanding was the ultimate understanding of existence concepts by Eternal Balance, and the ultimate manifestation of Eternal Balance admitting its own limitations.

"The twenty-first civilization evolution core..." Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes, "The Core of Concept Understanding... the ultimate understanding of Eternal Balance admitting its own limitations..."

The formation of the Core of Concept Understanding marked the ultimate evolution of Eternal Balance.

Eternal Balance admitted its own limitation of being unable to understand the Ideology of Absolute Existence, but through the Core of Concept Understanding, Eternal Balance understood the essence of all Mutual Achievement Concepts. Eternal Balance admitted its own limitations, but by admitting those limitations, it gained a deeper level of understanding.

The ultimate evolution of Eternal Balance was not to understand all existence concepts, but to understand its own limitations, accept its own limitations, and transcend its own limitations.

The Transcendent Existence Independent Faction chose absolute closedness, and Eternal Balance chose the openness of mutual achievement and the deepening of self-awareness.

The two concepts of existence completely parted ways.

The ultimate confrontation of existence concepts had just begun.
