Chapter 1960 Beginning to Understand Everything

"No…"

Meng Chao's soul was being squeezed twice, and his will became even firmer.

He was not willing to "live" as chess pieces, puppets, and components in a perfect and unchanging world that was a result of precise calculations.

Neither was he willing to break all order and obey the primeval law of 'survival of the fittest' without any rules, as shown by the Phantom. He would never fall into the chaotic hell of Asura with a group of his own kind that had evolved crazily and become grotesque.

There had to be a third path between the Phantom and Zero, absolute freedom and absolute order. Definitely!

Just as Meng Chao's soul was squeezed into a distorted state, he let out a hysterical scream. Something seemed to have heard Meng Chao's shout and resonated with him in the depths of the massive information torrent that formed the Phantom and Zero. It emitted a weak but dazzling light.

"What's that?"

Meng Chao hesitated. He was not sure if the thing hidden deep in the Phantom and Zero's core database was a way to escape or a fatal trap.

But he had no other choice.

Instinctively, he swam toward the road sign formed by the bright light.

The Phantom and Zero both noticed his unusual movements.

The Phantom and Zero, who had originally been unapproachable and had focused all their attention on each other, suddenly shone with a light that could change the weather.

The two were completely opposite in terms of form and nature. One was solemn and bright, while the other was eerie and dark. The information tide that was constantly changing suddenly stopped the most intense conflict. It attacked Meng Chao's soul at the same time. There was a hint of vigilance and even panic hidden in the mighty power of the extraordinary beings.

This strengthened Meng Chao's resolve.

He had almost abandoned everything that could be abandoned in the depths of his soul.

Like a rocket, he kept accelerating until his speed reached its limit. He plunged deep into the dazzling light that suddenly appeared without hesitation.

...

"This-This is…"

Meng Chao realized that he was once again seeing a certain segment of the ancient war that had happened in the Other World billions of years ago.

However, the protagonist of this scene was no longer the mastermind of the vicious beasts that was the Phantom, or the synchronous orbit space station controlled by Zero.

Instead, it was a palace belonging to the Ancients in the ancient city.

Looking out through the crystal-clear walls, one could clearly see the towering pillars dancing wildly in the sky on the horizon.

The dark, bloody pillars that were splitting, expanding, intertwining, growing, and bulging into the clouds and stirring the galaxy were the towers of flesh and blood that were formed by the strength of several billion monsters.

At least a hundred towers of flesh and blood had broken through the limits of the atmosphere. From bottom to top, the bodies or corpses of countless monsters were expanding and transparent as if information or acid from the depths of the earth were about to be injected into the space station in the synchronous orbit through them.

Zero was also controlling the space station in the synchronous orbit to project countless bright silver, golden, milky, translucent, and fully transparent light beams to the ground. The process raised balls of light with a diameter ranging from five kilometers to five hundred kilometers, which symbolized death, destruction, and purification.

The pillars of flesh and light, the acid and fireballs, the torn sky and the shaking earth all formed the main melody of the apocalypse.

Perhaps, in a few minutes, this planet would be destroyed.

Only after a hundred million years or even longer would new life be born.

Even though the Ancients were once the unique supreme beings that ruled the universe, before the gods and demons that they had personally nurtured, they had become ant-like existences.

In the ancient city, countless ancient people ran around like headless flies as they faced calamity.

There were also Ancients who embraced each other. In each other's translucent bodies, colorful lights slowly flowed like intense colored ink and penetrated into each other's bodies. In this way, the densest and most accurate information was used to describe their feelings before death.

Of course, most of the Ancients were staring at the burning sky in shock, like apes whose hair had not yet fallen off. They could not believe for a long time that the supreme and mysterious gods had abandoned them forever in the face of the natural disaster that had destroyed the entire race!

In the entire ancient city, there was only one exception—Meng Chao saw the main character. She was an ancient woman who sat cross-legged in the middle of the hall. She had a calm expression on her face and a focused expression as she faced a floating crystal.

Meng Chao did not know the specific structure of the ancient society or the social class division.

However, he instinctively realized that this was the Ancient with the highest "cultivation" he had ever seen.

It was not only because she was particularly tall, more than twice the size of the Ancients who were panicking and running for their lives in the corridor outside. She was simply a female version of the Giant Miracle God.

It was not just that her flesh, bones, and internal organs were more transparent than those of the ordinary ancients, too. She seemed to be able to melt into the void or jump out of it at any time.

It was also because her crystal clear body was constantly emitting colorful information currents. The information flow that was like a volcanic eruption even gathered into dense clouds and ripples around her. It gave Meng Chao a literal understanding of "sage-like manner."

It was only then that Meng Chao realized that for the Ancients with high cultivation bases, they had long surpassed the initial stage of using their mouths, noses, eyes, and ears to communicate information.

It had evolved to the mysterious era where high-frequency information exchange could be achieved by using the vibration of their vitality magnetic fields.

What they contained in their bodies was not only information about themselves, but also information about their lives.

It was also the information of his ancestors, his race, and the entire world that gave birth to him. Under certain circumstances, such as this moment, when the Ancient realized that she and her entire civilization were doomed, she gave up hope of survival and only had an intense desire to leave something behind.

She would be able to spew out data that was similar to genetic material but billions of times more massive and detailed through the burning of her life from the inside out.

Originally, Meng Chao could not have received and deciphered all the information from billions of years ago that described the ancient civilization in detail.

However, when he saw the information ripples that were as bright as light, as bright as fire, as bright as lightning, and as bright as dew that were flooding around the Ancient, he somehow felt that he had a telepathic connection and was suddenly enlightened.

The genetic factors that originated from the ancient civilization and were hidden in the depths of his bloodline gradually awakened.

He began to understand everything.
