CHAPTER 716: CHAPTER 582: THE PATH OF THE TRUE GOD OF CHAOS!

"Chaos was doomed from the start—it chose a worthless messenger who got wiped out before the Epoch could even begin, and it has since lost all its power completely."

Anthony winked at Wu Xiaode and whispered,

"True chaos is really thrilling."

"But aren’t you on the side of Order?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Ah, I am indeed on the side of Order, but I’ve always longed for chaos... I’m just not qualified—we fairies aren’t very good at killing." Anthony sighed with regret.

"Time is almost up, let’s head to the competition venue," Chris said.

"Don’t use chaos lightly, it’s actually not reliable and almost destroyed everything." Anthony waved his hand as a warning.

"Good luck in achieving good results," Wu Xiaode waved back.

In a flash, the two fairies disappeared.

Now.

Only Wu Xiaode was left here.

—What to do now?

Boom!!!

The building suddenly erupted with a deafening noise.

A figure flew out from the building, landing gently in the bushes outside.

It was a burly strong man, holding a metal box that emitted flickering electricity, looking extremely pleased with himself.

A few more figures flew out, landing around the strong man.

"Hand over the eternal engine."

A man demanded.

"You think you can take it?" the burly strong man sneered.

Wu Xiaode stretched his limbs, about to jump down from the high-rise building, but suddenly noticed something odd about his surroundings.

Strings of bubbles emerged before his eyes.

All at once, the world filled with water that spread everywhere, rising up like an ocean.

Within moments, the water completely submerged Wu Xiaode.

He could only sink into the depths.

In the endless water, everything else vanished.

Only a colossal figure faintly appeared in the depths of the sea.

"Never expected... to be awoken by the power of miracles again."

Enveloped by the boundless sea, Wu Xiaode couldn’t help but use his Divine Thought to ask,

"Who are you?"

"I am from the Chaotic Sequence, temporarily assuming human form to make this final contact with you," the other party said.

"Final contact?" Wu Xiaode repeated.

"If you aren’t compatible with chaos, then you won’t be able to wield its power, and chaos will come to an end."

The colossal figure made a continuous humming sound, continuing the conversation:

"Naive World Master, destroy all technological creations within that barrier, and you will receive the full support of chaos."

Destroy technological creations?

—That doesn’t really affect me.

But I can’t quite understand what this so-called "Order" and "Chaos" are all about.

Wu Xiaode thought for a moment and asked about what concerned him:

"Why destroy all technological creations? Is it simply to create chaos?"

"It is to repel the enemy and end the ritual," the huge figure explained.

The word "ritual" caught Wu Xiaode’s attention.

"Wait, are you talking about that insect’s ritual?"

As he finished his question, he suddenly noticed the surrounding water turn pitch black.

"What I am about to say is an ultimate secret, so I must take some security measures."

After the colossal figure finished speaking, the black sea surged forth, enveloping Wu Xiaode and itself, forming a sphere, turning everything around into a closed state.

"Humans... they are merely a prelude," the figure said.

With that statement, a row of ice crystal characters suddenly popped up in the Void:

"You begin to hear the true secrets of the world, Exploration Level increased by 10%."

—Just as the other party uttered those words, my Exploration Level immediately went up by 10%!

Wu Xiaode quickly shut his mouth.

The following secrets must be even more valuable!

No need to interrupt now.

All I have to do is to quietly wait for chaos to reveal everything!

I heard chaos continue to speak:

"Human civilization is a ritual, its value lies in awakening various mysterious species."

"The eternal engine is a critical point in the ritual."

"Of course, this is only one of the critical points for a technological civilization; if it were a magic civilization, then the creation of human civilization such as ’alchemic life,’ ’Eternal Life Stone,’ ’Resurrection Spell,’ and so on, would be critical points of a ritual, corresponding to other mysterious species that can be awakened."

"—Every human civilization is a ritual."

"When the ritual is completed, humans and all other species of their era can exit the stage of history, whereas the ritual they completed will allow more powerful mysterious species to begin dominating and creating everything anew."

Wu Xiaode’s mind instantly filled with images of that insect.

So, they had sensed the ongoing ritual...

Just a single insect had destroyed the whole world!

Humans...

Was it all indeed just a prelude?

As if to confirm his thoughts, in the dark depths of the sea, numerous waters took shape, forming the image of that insect.

"The eternal engine corresponds to the masters behind those insects."

"For humans and all other beings of the human era, it is invincible, the harbinger of an era’s end."

"The future should belong to them!"

Finally, Wu Xiaode couldn’t help but speak out:

"So you want me to destroy the eternal engine."

Chaos spoke:

"Yes, are you willing to do this?"

"Of course I am," Wu Xiaode said.

"Very good, very good, in doing so, we have achieved our first compatibility."

"Why do you oppose that insect?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"The civilized worlds of beings are the source of my power, I don’t want to see you destroyed," chaos said.

Several lines of ice crystal characters rapidly emerged in front of Wu Xiaode:

"You are compatible with chaos."

"Chaos has extended an invitation to you, hoping you will adopt the true Chaotic Sequence."

"You can accept or refuse."

"This is the last time chaos will condense into a sequence, once you decline, chaos will fall into eternal silence."

"This sequence is too dangerous and unreliable, please decide carefully,"

Wu Xiaode smiled.

"Chaos, do you have the ability to help me fight that bug?"

He asked the dark shadow in the deep sea.

"Believe one thing, besides Doomsday, only I can help you fight them," Chaos said.

"Then I’ll use you, and I hope we can work together pleasantly," Wu Xiaode said.

In an instant.

The vast shadow gently flew up, turning into rows of gray shadowy characters, appearing before Wu Xiaode’s eyes:

"You have loaded the sequence·True God of Chaotic."

"The only passive power of the current sequence:"

"Historical Aura."

"Second, one of two passive mysterious skills."

"Everything you experience can be eternally fixed as events that are bound to happen, unalterable by any other existence."

"Additionally, the initial task has been generated:"

"Destroy the perpetual motion machine."

"By completing this task, Chaos will draw the power of awakening from the failed ritual, and you will be recognized as its only True God, opening the path of the True God."

"What is a True God?" Wu Xiaode asked.

Several lines of gray shadowy characters emerged:

"You will know later—now we need to hurry, I have something to tell you immediately:"

"The bug has sensed the awakening of Chaos, and it will soon travel to this moment to look for me—and it will inevitably find me on you."

"You need to survive with this sequence."

Wu Xiaode was really tired of being chased and couldn’t help but sigh:

"Has anyone ever survived such a chase?"

"There was one," Chaos said.

Just as Wu Xiaode was about to speak, The Book of the Dead opened, revealing two lines of ice crystal characters:

"Exploration Level reaches 99%."

"You can draw this card at any time to return to the Babylon Pillar to avoid the bug’s pursuit."

99%!

If I leave now, I’ll always regret it.

Wu Xiaode began to think quickly.

"I have only one question," he suddenly said.

"What?" Chaos asked.

"If the ritual fails, will the bug disappear?" Wu Xiaode asked seriously.

"Once the ritual cannot be held, the bug cannot descend into this civilization," Chaos said.

"Understood."

Wu Xiaode pulled out the Flag of No Beginning from behind him.

"This is the last crossing."

He waved the flag forcefully.

...

The primitive epoch.

A group of primitive humans were making fire by drilling wood with sticks.

Wu Xiaode came out of the woods.

Bare-chested, with a short skirt woven from leaves around his waist, he squatted directly in front of the group of primitive humans.

Amidst their wary and threatening howls—

He gently raised his hand and recited the spell:

"Fiery Radiance."

Whoosh—

A small flame appeared in his palm.

The primitive humans were stunned.

Suddenly, a sharp whistle sounded in the sky.

A bug-like figure had just emerged from the Void, searching frantically for something.

Wu Xiaode, with an unchanging expression, shouted to the primitive humans:

"Fiery Radiance."

"The gesture is like this—"

He changed the movements in his hand a few times, showing the primitives.

The next moment.

The bug let out an angry scream and dived towards him.

Wu Xiaode repeated the movements once more.

"Fiery Radiance,"

he recited.

Another flame appeared in the palm of his hand.

The primitives looked at each other.

Several more astute ones secretly mimicked his movements, chanting aloud:

"Cher-lee fei gong."

"Red-split we gon."

"Fiery Radiance."

Pop.

A small flame suddenly appeared in the hands of a primitive human.

Just as the bug reached Wu Xiaode’s head and was about to attack, it was enveloped by an invisible force and instantly disappeared into the Void, vanishing completely.

Wu Xiaode looked at the primitive human and clapped with a smile:

"Buddy, nicely done."

Rows of gray shadowy characters rapidly emerged:

"You did not destroy the perpetual motion machine."

"However, you have changed the direction of the world’s civilization."

"From this moment on, the civilization of the current world has shifted from technology to magic."

"The perpetual motion machine will disappear from completely altered history."

"Congratulations!"

"You have been acknowledged for completing Chaos’s initial task!"

The Book of the Dead opened in turn, also revealing rows of ice crystal characters:

"You have saved the current world."

"—Exploration Level reaches 100%!"

"Congratulations!"

"You have earned Deck of Powers Number Five: Civilization’s Lament."
