Chapter 678 - 678 Origin of Death, 480 Million False Selves

678 Origin of Death, 480 Million False Selves

What was death?

Cui Heng knew all kinds of theories about it. He had also thought about all kinds of things.

But he had never faced death like now.

Nirvana, emptiness, tranquility, and so on appeared in his perception.

Other than that, there was only eternal darkness.

Standing at the limit of the Origin of Life, Cui Heng saw darkness, the end of everything, and emptiness.

What was the Point of Origin for the Origin of Death?

It was actually death itself.

After comprehending the Origin of Death thoroughly, not only could one see death in all living beings, but they could also see death in all matter.

The stars he saw would eventually be exhausted. Star Seas would collapse, everything would be destroyed, and the universe would walk step by step towards eventual destruction.

It was not so much death as an end.

This reminded Cui Heng of the legend of creation he had seen in the “Legend of Haojun”, the two supreme existences born with the original world.

Beginning and End.

“If I’m not wrong, even if the endless universe in the Chaos Sea is already outside seperated from the Primordial World, it should still be under the influence of Beginning and End. Death should be the evolution of the concept of End.”

Cui Heng pondered in his heart, and the golden flames in his eyes were incomparably bright, illuminating the universe. He sighed softly and said, “I really don’t know what realm the Beginning and the End are. My cultivation is still far from enough. I have to completely comprehend the Origin of Death as soon as possible.”

At the same time that he saw “death”, Cui Heng also understood the method to comprehend the Origin of Death.

As the origin of the manifestation of death was death itself, one could only comprehend it when death appeared.

What he had to do next was to search for the death that was happening.

Cui Heng slowly closed his eyes. Immediately, countless signs of life appeared in his perception.

In the entire universe, he could clearly sense every corner of it.

This was a divine power that Cui Heng had grasped after completely comprehending the Origin of Life.

With this divine power, he could sense the situation of all the living beings in this universe.

Whether it was their location, cultivation realm, physical state, mental state, and so on, he could observe them in detail or control them.

This also meant that he could control any living being in this universe at will.

Whoever was allowed to live could live.

Whoever he wanted to die would die.

With a thought, mortals could become Ancient Kings.

With a thought, he could turn an Ancient King into a mortal.

Simply put, Cui Heng had already become the ruler of all life in this universe.

Moreover, he was the only ruler. No one shared this authority of life with him.

“Such power is really too exaggerated.”

Cui Heng slowly opened his eyes and temporarily dispersed his perception. He was amazed.

However, he also knew that this was just a special situation.

“This is because I’m the only Peak Soul Formation cultivator here, and no one else has the authority to control the Origin of Life. That’s why this situation happened.

If someone also completely comprehends the Origin of Life in this universe, they can have the same authority and power as me. When there are more people like this, the power brought about by this authority will be much weaker.

However, compared to before I stepped onto the path to the Return to Void Realm, my current strength is indeed much stronger. This is only after comprehending the Origin of Life completely. There are still two other Origin Great Dao that I haven’t comprehended.

If I comprehend the mysteries of the Origin of Death and the Origin of Stars thoroughly, how powerful will I be? If I can evolve 480 million Great Dao with this as the foundation, what kind of scene will it be?”

With his current cultivation realm, he actually felt a little excited when he thought of this. This was really touching the ultimate level of the universe.

And this was only the preparation stage before stepping into the Return to Void realm!

How powerful was a true Return to Void cultivator?

In the end, the Yellow-scarved Strongman was only a guardian puppet without self-awareness. Even if it had an Early-stage Return to Void cultivation, its strength was probably incomparable to a true Early-stage Return to Void cultivator.

The difference in intelligence was too great.

“I still have to comprehend the Origin of Death as soon as possible.”

Golden flames ignited in Cui Heng’s eyes again. With his Spiritual Golden Eyes and his perception of life, the “death” of the entire universe appeared in his eyes.

Countless fake selves began to appear in the various places of death.

Wherever famine, plague, flood, and other disasters appeared, there would be Cui Heng’s fake self. Moreover, they all had the same face and wore the same clothes.

When a fake self appeared in the same place many times, some folklore would be born.

For example, this “human” was actually a Calamity God who brought disaster. As long as this “human” appeared, endless disasters would descend.

Based on these legends, Cui Heng produced a new fake self that symbolizes disaster.

In addition, many of Cui Heng’s fake selves often appeared at people’s funerals. Gradually, they were treated as a Grim Reaper who took away souls.

Hence, a new fake self was born as the Grim Reaper.

Of course, in places that most people could not detect, Cui Heng’s many fake selves were still observing the destruction of stars, the collapse of Star Seas, the shattering of matter, and other scenes related to death.

Thanks to his cultivation of the Yin Yang Seal, he had comprehended a lot of the mysteries of life and death.

Moreover, because he had already completed his comprehension of the Origin of Life, the concept of death had become incomparably clear. His comprehension of the Origin of Death was extremely fast.

Observing death, comprehending death, and coming into contact with death. This was Cui Heng’s way of comprehending death.
