Chapter 1989: Chapter 1251: The History of Chaos

What lies at the end of Chaos? It is Nothingness!

Crossing the darkness more ancient than Chaos, Jiang Chen arrived at the end of the River of Space-Time, which is also the end of Chaos, a world of void.

This is true Nothingness, where nothing exists, not even the concept of Nothingness.

The River of Space-Time churned, raising terrifying giant waves, engulfing Jiang Chen, attempting to send him into this void.

This is the means by which Time and Space seek to utterly kill Jiang Chen, sending him to the end of Chaos, that world of Nothingness, and then letting the original void devour him.

Nothingness is the beginning of Reincarnation, as well as its end, possessing the power to turn all things into void. As long as one has not reached the Eternal Realm, upon arriving here, they will return to Nothingness, and nothing will exist.

And if one is devoured by Nothingness, they are truly dead, unable to ever be resurrected.

Such a method is the strongest method, even if the Pangu Great God enters it, he will perish.

However, fortunately, although the giant waves of Space-Time are terrifying, their power is not truly strong. Sending Jiang Chen to the end of Space-Time is, in essence, going against the current, and the pressure endured is imaginable.

Though the giant wave is strong, it must first resist the pressure of moving against the current, and thus the remaining power is insufficient to send Jiang Chen into the original void.

Rumble!

The towering waves struggled for a long time, finding it impossible to send Jiang Chen into the original void, and thus abandoned Jiang Chen, turning to flow downstream.

This is another way to utterly kill Jiang Chen. If the original void cannot kill Jiang Chen, then send him to the terminal point of Chaos, utilizing the power of the Destruction of Chaos, where all things return to Nothingness, to slay Jiang Chen.

The Destruction of Chaos, the Demise of Ages, this is another ultimate, a calamity that obliterates all strong beings. Without achieving Eternity, no one can escape it.

Why do the Chaos Demigods pursue the Eternal Realm? It is to escape this calamity that can come at any moment.

The power of Space-Time is vast and unending, and Jiang Chen is utterly unable to escape, only able to drift along, heading towards the end of Chaos.

During this process, Jiang Chen saw the history of Chaos.

First, he saw the birth of existence!

How long the original void had lasted is unknown, but one day, it suddenly changed, birthing a wisp of purple Qi, which was the Purple Qi of Hongmeng, marking the beginning of existence.

The River of Space-Time continued to carry Jiang Chen forward, and the Purple Qi of Hongmeng before his eyes became more and more abundant until one day, the Purple Qi of Hongmeng suddenly trembled, and a ray of light was born from it.

That was the Light of the Great Dao, the Original Light.

At that moment, the Great Dao was born!

But the Great Dao is perfect, all-knowing, and all-powerful, and nothing had meaning to it. So, even though it was born, it had no desire to change.

The world did not change at all because of the birth of the Great Dao.

Time continued forward; the Hongmeng Qi grew more abundant, then, a life form of the same origin as the Great Dao was born. He was the embodiment of Hongmeng, equally perfect as the Great Dao, yet not as powerful.

He was not all-knowing and all-powerful, thus he had desires, the desire to become as all-knowing and all-powerful as the Great Dao.

He wished to grow stronger, but he didn’t undertake cultivation, instead wanting to refine the Great Dao, to become the master of the Great Dao.

Then, he paid the price for his greed. The Great Dao did nothing, allowing Hongmeng to refine itself. Then, unable to withstand the power of the Great Dao, Hongmeng exploded!

Hongmeng thus perished, but he was unwilling. Both were born of the Purple Qi of Hongmeng, why was the Great Dao stronger than he?

He resented the injustice of Nothingness, and his resentment, mixed with his corpse, transformed into strands of dark and violent Chaos Qi.

Thus, Chaos was born.

It was formed from Hongmeng’s corpse, containing his resentment and unwillingness. Thus, Chaos was extremely violent, possessing the might to devour everything.

Time moved forward, and the world was different. Chaos first grew by using the Purple Qi of Hongmeng as sustenance, continuously expanding. Ultimately, it began unending expansion, madly devouring the concept of Nothingness.

This was Hongmeng’s grievance against Nothingness; he wanted to devour Nothingness, allowing Chaos to replace it!

Fueled by Hongmeng’s resentment, Chaos expanded without end. During this process, the concept of Boundlessness gradually emerged. Hence, the first Chaos Demigod, Boundless, was born!

Boundless, as his name suggests, was limitless and omnipresent. He held no true entity; he was the will of Chaos perpetually expanding outward. His existence meant constantly expanding Chaos.

The birth of Boundless accelerated the expansion of Chaos. Meanwhile, the ever-expanding Chaos grew increasingly unstable internally.

The Chaos Qi was boundlessly surging, endlessly colliding and shattering, this process repeating endlessly without cessation.

Then, a miracle occurred.

The ultimate destruction became creation; the Space-Time Demon responded to the changes of Chaos, intending to bestow the concept of Space-Time onto Chaos.

At the same time, a being named Destiny was quietly birthed within Chaos.

Destiny, a Demon God entirely different from Space-Time, wasn’t born from the changes in Chaos but from sensing the changes within the Great Dao.

The Great Dao remained unchanged from its origin, maintaining a constant state, with nothing capable of attracting its attention, not even the fall of Hongmeng stirred any emotion.

But the birth of Boundless altered the Great Dao, showing an emotion of surprise for the first time. It was all-knowing, omnipotent, and nothing in the world was unknown to it or beyond its comprehension.

And yet, an occurrence that surprised it happened.

With the birth of Boundless, the Great Dao saw his future; because of the limitless expansion, Chaos eventually reached its limit and began collapsing, reverting to a state of Nothingness.

This was nothing new; having a beginning and an end was the destiny of Hongmeng.

Hongmeng died, Chaos was born. Chaos perished, and Hongmeng appeared. This was the Reincarnation of Hongmeng, destined to continually cycle, an utterly monotonous process.

Thus, the Great Dao was indifferent.

However, at the moment of the Destruction of Chaos, the Great Dao discovered a shining light that remained unshaken by the might of Nothingness.

This ray of light moved the Great Dao; it was a power equal to it, an unknowable force that rendered its omniscience and omnipotence ineffective.

This change piqued the Great Dao’s curiosity towards the future. Just what managed to leap out of Reincarnation, altering a destiny of inevitable destruction?

This very change bestowed the concept of Destiny upon Chaos, enabling the birth of the Destiny Demon.

The future captured the Great Dao’s attention, prompting it to break its silence and attempt certain endeavors. It wanted to see if the future would alter again with its attempts.

The Chaos Demigods were the experiments of the Great Dao.

All this was recorded within Space-Time, and the Great Dao did not mind others knowing. Thus, when the concept of Space-Time emerged, anyone could learn these things from Chaos.
