Chapter 748: Worse than Death

Li Yang was filled with doubts when he heard [Original]'s words.

He couldn't understand this sudden change for a while, but his intuition told him that things were not simple.

"What is a real enemy?" Li Yang asked with a frown, while controlling the spread of [Destruction Mushroom] to slow down a bit.

"You've never mentioned this before."

[Origin]’s voice seemed a little urgent:

"The situation is more complicated than we imagined. We always thought that [the Void] was the biggest threat, but in fact it is just one part of a larger system."

Li Yang laughed: "So? Is this the reason why you disappeared suddenly? Were you instigated by [Void] to rebel?"

"It's not about instigating rebellion." [Origin] explained, "It's about gaining a new understanding... Li Yang, you must believe me. If the internal fighting continues, all of us will face disaster."

Li Yang was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "Okay, I'll believe you for now."

"But if you can't give me a reasonable explanation, you should know what the consequences will be."

With that said, Li Yang controlled the [Destruction Mushroom] to stop its spread, but did not completely withdraw it.

The surrounding void seemed to have stopped attacking, and there was a strange calm between the two sides.

"Tell me," Li Yang stared at the vague distortion in the void, "What is going on?"

[Origin] took a deep breath and began to explain:

"In our confrontation with the Void, we have overlooked a greater threat."

"There is an existence that is far older and more powerful than [the void]..."

"For the time being, we call this existence [Primary Chaos]."

"It is the origin of everything and the end of everything...[The void] and the universe as we know it are only part of it."

"Remember the four-dimensional existence that almost destroyed everything before? That was a projection of [Original Chaos]."

Li Yang frowned: "So, what does that thing want to do?"

"I... don't know." [Origin] replied slowly, "That is not an existence that we can touch at all."

"It's so powerful that it can erase everything existing with just a glance."

"Just its spying is something ordinary creatures cannot bear..."

"Once infected by it, everything will fall into eternal madness."

Li Yang thought thoughtfully: "Mysterious and mysterious, it is simply inexplicable..."

"So according to you, [The Void] is actually preventing this process?"

"Yes..." [Origin] affirmed, "Although [Void] seems to be devouring everything, in fact it is just trying its best to make whatever remedies it can... It devoured those universes that were on the verge of collapse, Prevent them from being infected by [Original Chaos] and becoming worse than death."

Li Yang snorted coldly: "Editor, keep editing."

"If there really is something so outrageous, why have you never mentioned it to me?"

"Let me count that old four-dimensional figure as your unspeakable secret."

"You actually didn't say a word to me about this existence that's almost like a myth and legend?"

[Origin] sighed:

"I'm sorry... I just understood it just now."

"Just like the humans in your universe are aware of the existence of gods, but don't know of my existence..."

"It is so huge that we are like plankton living in the ocean and cannot detect the existence of the entire ocean."

"We only realize this when we truly come into contact with the nature of the void."

Li Yang was silent for a moment, and then asked: "What about the equalizer from before? Didn't that guy want to dissuade you and then be dealt with by you?"

"No...how could I do such a thing?" [Origin] replied, "In fact, it was him who first discovered the truth."

At this moment, the voice of the Equalizer also sounded in the void:

"Li Yang, I know this sounds ridiculous, but please trust us."

"We need to reassess our stance and strategy."

Li Yang took a deep breath and looked around.

The void is still there, but it no longer seems hostile.

He could feel a strange sense of balance, as if the entire space was waiting for his decision.

"Suppose...suppose I believe you." Li Yang said slowly, "Then what should we do next?"

There was a hint of relief in [Origin]’s voice:

"We need to stop fighting the Void... and use its power to try to find other solutions."

Li Yang nodded, but still remained vigilant: "What about the [Lord of the Void]? Isn't that thing quite rude to us?"

"[Lord of the Void] is just a manifestation of [Void]." [Origin] explained, "It may not fully understand its own nature and purpose... We need to help it realize this."

Li Yang thought for a moment and then said: "Oh, OK."

"I can believe you for the time being, but if you want me to provide further help, I need you to provide more evidence."

"If this is all just a well-designed scam...then I will make you pay the corresponding price."

[Origin] and the Equalizer seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

The tense atmosphere in the void began to ease, and Li Yang felt a strange energy flowing.

"Anyway, thank you for your trust, Li Yang." [Original] said.

The Equalizer added: "We will show you everything we find... Trust me, once you see the truth, you will understand why we made the decisions we did."

Li Yang nodded and slowly took back the [Destruction Mushroom].

The void seemed to respond to his actions, slowly receding, revealing a strange space.

This space is neither pure void nor a regular universe.

Time seems to have lost all meaning in this place.

"So," Li Yang looked around, "where to start?"

The voice of [Origin] slowly sounded:

"We will show you how terrifying the so-called [primordial chaos] can transform the dying universe into..."

The Equalizer added: "After seeing that, you should understand where we are coming from."

"Li Yang, you will know that in this vast universe, there are many fates that are more terrifying and deformed than death."

"Compared with the infection of [Primal Chaos], death can be regarded as a kind of most benevolent relief."

Hearing this, Li Yang looked around thoughtfully and nodded slightly.

"Okay." Li Yang took a deep breath, "then hurry up and don't waste time."

"Whether it's [The Void] or [Primordial Chaos], we will find a way to deal with it."

As Li Yang finished speaking, the surrounding space began to change.

A familiar sense of leap came over him, and there was no doubt that he was sent somewhere again.
