Chapter 863 - Chaos (1/2)
The voice did not answer him, it was still saying, ".... Hmmm, then there is still the Fuxi Clan's baby maker. Why are you searching for us, is it for the Drawings of Heavenly Daos left behind by Sui Sovereign?"
The Zhong Shan Clan Zhong Yue, Long Yue the Monster King, Bo Xun the Demon King, and innate god Yi Feng; these were identities he had adopted throughout the course of his life. The title of Tai Sovereign was the veneration given to him by the humans during the ceremony in the Mountain Tai.
As for the Yi Clan and Fuxi Clan's Di Yue, those were things that Zhong Yue didn't know about.
Furthermore, the titles before were still reasonable, but what was the meaning of Fuxi Clan's baby maker? Was it referring to himself?
What gibberish was this trying to mock him!
"Senior, are you the Chaos Divine Turtle?" Zhong Yue asked.
In front of him was a pair of eyes that burned like fire, as the voice answered, "Chaos we are, but the Divine Turtles. We only adopted the form of Divine Turtles solely because of your universe's perception of us."
Zhong Yue was stunned, he couldn't grasp what the Chaos Divine Turtle was trying to convey.
The voice sounded like it was from the future, the past, and the present. It said, "We are different from the likes of you. We are creatures born within Chaos, we take no fixed nor physical form, the form we take is whatever your understanding of it is. You people and us are fundamentally creatures of different dimensions. Time and space exist in your dimension, but not ours."
Zhong Yue pondered, he asked, "Are you gods born within the Chaos? Like the innate gods, are you also as long-lived as the universe?"
"No, different." The eyes hovered closer, allowing Zhong Yue to see the giant Chaos Divine Turtle that was previously covered by the shadows. Chaos Qi surrounded the Chaos Divine Turtle, like clouds that streamed beside it.
It had a pair of eyes burning in the Fire of Chaos, with huge eyes, ears, and mouth, but no nostrils.
"The so-called innate gods in your universe live are not above time and space, a concept that doesn't exist in our Chaos at all. In the Chaos, time is nonexistent, and space is nonexistent. There is no sky and earth, no seasons, no temperature, no senses, no pain, no emotions, no reproduction, no life, and no death," the ancient Chaos Divine Turtle said casually.
"We see time like a pond of still water. There is hardly ever any living creatures that can cause disruptions in this pond of time."
"We see space like clouds and mist. The clouds gather and so does the mists, and when the clouds separate, the mists will also disperse. All is real and all is fake."
"We see you people like bugs and insects living in the clouds and waters. The cries of battles that deafen of your ears are just low and short noises we hear happening in just a split second. Every achievement in your whole life is just a tiny spark of light in our eyes. Living and dying, it all happened in just a split second like blinking rays."
"We see you in the past, the present, and the future. Your concept of time and space are nothing to us in the Chaos, they are just a cycle that connects together, revolving one round after around. You travel down the cycle but we can move around as we like, to the past, at the present, and to the future."
Zhong Yue was startled, What ?
The concept proposed by the Chaos Divine Turtle was beyond his imagination, he couldn't even understand a thing at all. In accordance with the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture], the past was immutable and the future was imperceptible. Time was the greatest enigma of the universe, the single principle by which everything, living or dead, must abide. However, this rule apparently didn't apply to the creatures of Chaos as they were able to see and know both past and future.
The creatures of Chaos were even more mythical than the innate gods, they lived eternally beyond the universe and understood the past and knew the future. They never died and were unbounded by time and space.
"The strongest of your kind may only be a brighter spark in our eyes, but in the end, no one was able to escape time and space. However, for us to enter your world, the rules that govern you will be applied to us as well. Life and death, illness and health, greed and hope, and much more. But, as long as we return back to the Chaos, we will be revert back to just exactly how the others of us were."
It was as if the Chaos Divine Turtle was smiling, he said, "No sense, no emotions, no consciousness. This is the Chaos, this is the only way to be unaffected by time and space. Do you want to be one of us? You can join us, become one of us, embrace eternal life free of worries and thoughts; you will be everlasting like us."
Zhong Yue exclaimed in shock, "I too can become one of you?"
"Life, it has always been marvelous, hasn't it?" The Chaos Divine Turtle turned into a ball of flame, similar to Xin Huo and circumnavigated around Zhong Yue while saying casually, "How amazing. Join us, become one of us, become a pure Hundun 1 . Your ideologies, dreams, thoughts, love and hatred, emotions; all of these are insignificant in the endless flow of time. Become one of us as Hunduns and you will be granted nothing, and thereby you will have everything. All there is left is Chaos, the prime element of existence, the greatest Dao itself — perpetuity."
Zhong Yue shook, he replied, "No, I do not want to be one of you."
The little flame shuddered and change into an old man, it has every facial feature but the nose, he asked, "Why? An undying and everlasting life, isn't that all you and the others are searching for? I see you creating the Zi Wei Galaxy, creating the Void World, creating the Dao World, all you seek, is to be one of us, isn't it?" He was puzzled, "Why then, when you are offered that chance to become one of us, you decline?"
"Sui Sovereign!" in Zhong Yue's psyche ocean, Xin Huo exclaimed in shock, "He is taking the form of Sui Sovereign!"
Zhong Yue bowed, "See nothing, hear nothing, feel nothing; no senses and no emotions, no thoughts and no sentience; what difference does this make with death itself? With senses comes emotions, and with emotions, comes the embarrassment for our lackings. With the embarrassment and such, grows our hunger for knowledge and power. We will always strive for greater heights to meet our ever-growing desires."
