Living in the Doomsday and Becoming an Immortal Alone-Chapter 1422 - 648: Despair Abyss

Nonexistent?

If someone else had said that, Wang Jixuan would definitely retort, 'This is sophistry.'

However, these twelve before him, renowned Daluo Golden Immortals from the Human Race and Hundred Races since ancient times, if they say such a thing, there must be a reason behind it.

"Oh?"

Wang Jixuan put aside distracting thoughts, focused on discussing the Tao, and solemnly asked:

"What does this mean?"

Amid a few sighs, these twelve figures slowly said:

"Void, everything is void."

"We once glimpsed true eternity in a high-dimensional world, with time like a canvas, devoid of any trace of flow."

"We also once comprehended the truth of everything in endless nothingness."

"Do you know what it is then? The Daoist Principle is merely the casual meddling of a basic being within the Eternal Sacred Realm, written as lines of words across starry skies like deserts."

"So the Death Path does not exist, because the whole world is void."

Wang Jixuan froze there.

It's not that he had an epiphany.

It's just... not knowing how to respond.

He instinctively wanted to take out his previous theories he'd tell others, about the meaning of life, about the brilliance of life akin to a summer flower, but as the words reached his lips, he hesitated.

Those truths were too obvious.

The ones before him had all once stood at the pinnacle of the world.

Wang Jixuan bowed his head in contemplation.

The twelve figures were not in a hurry, they quietly watched Wang Jixuan, seemingly wanting to hear a new answer from him, one that could provide them with a new direction.

They called this place the Despair Abyss—though such naming bears no significance, much like this Ship of the End, merely a code, an implication.

And here, the true despair is those who have witnessed the high-dimensional world.

Wang Jixuan slowly nodded: "What you said is indeed void."

Just after he finished speaking, he sensed the disappointment present here.

They were very disappointed.

But Master Wang was not in a rush, pondering while speaking, each word slow, with some contradiction, yet the expressions of these twelve grew all the more grave.

Wang Jixuan smiled and said:

"The question you gave isn't too difficult to solve."

"On the surface, I just need to say that the meaning of life lies in experiencing and observing, and I'd probably pass.

"But in truth, for you and me here, it holds no meaning. We are all Residual Spirits after death, each with only a bit of thinking ability, carrying the energy and information here, about to crash into the Immortal Realm.

"The Death Path indeed does not exist, because death and life are, in fact, transformations in form; a tree is a tree when living, is it not a tree when it's dead?

"So, death only changes its traits, it doesn't completely erase it.

"On that beautiful planet, I once encountered some theories on information, proposed by mortals at a primitive civilization stage in their observation of the universe.

"Will information completely disappear?

"No, it won't. Information only loses its medium, it won't completely vanish.

"From this angle, the Death Path does not exist because there is no absolute death."

This 'imagined' temple was silent.

Wang Jixuan faced these twelve figures, looking each other in the eyes.

Suddenly, one figure slowly nodded.

"Makes sense."

"Information is indestructible, only the medium disappears, is this the principle you realized in the Mortal World?"

"Just what I gleaned," Wang Jixuan chuckled awkwardly, "they observe the universe, to understand the universe, thereby receiving the universe's echo. If we cultivators are to seek this principle, it might require a very high realm."

Another figure laughed: "This is the threshold of Da Luo."

"Oh?"

"You passed."

The two figures at the center slowly removed their cloaks.

The one on the left was evidently of human origin, though his body had become peculiar, his face remained normal.

The one on the right was a lion, its body fused with armor, the face was of a wild lion.

These two were clearly leading figures, as they removed their cloaks, the surrounding ten figures also removed theirs, half were of the Hundred Races and half were of the Human Race.

"My name is Lion Heart," the Lion Da Luo said in a low voice, "he is Ren Xin, these are the names we gave ourselves to avoid complete downfall."

Ren Xin asked, "You wish to stop this calamity from happening, correct?"

"Yes," Wang Jixuan nodded decisively, "I have other ways to kill Po Luo, using the lives of all beings in the Immortal Realm as the price, it's actually somewhat too cruel."

These two main figures gently shook their heads.

"We have a different view."

"Yes, we have a different idea."

"Please, speak," Wang Jixuan gestured with his hand, inviting them to continue.

"Destroying the Immortal Realm, in a broad sense, is beneficial for the evolution of this universe. The Immortal Realm, Heavenly Dao, and Po Luo are actually a trinity, because the Immortal Realm itself is unwilling to be destroyed and forgotten. Hence, the Immortal Spirit Road and Ascension Platform appeared, those who should have left the Immortal Realm to join the cosmic evolution, such as the Xu Realm and True Realm, are firmly bound by the Immortal Realm."

"What you see is merely the gains and losses of the beings in the Immortal Realm, but can you see how much clamor and beings the universe misses for this?"

Wang Jixuan: …

These two figures continued:

"The reason we are willing to meet you and say these things is because you are planning a revolution, you attempt to stop this disaster from happening."

"But you cannot stop it, nor can Po Luo, it merely wishes to survive within our wrath, just as it dares not face the wrath of the beings from the high-dimensional world."
