A journey of survival starting from Zhetian

Chapter 337 Awakening from Madness
In a gray and boundless space, tens of millions of stars emitting different starlight form one hundred thousand galaxies, which slowly move along the same center with different inclinations and orbits, forming the prototype of a spiral arm of the Milky Way.

Near the center of this quiet spiral arm of the Milky Way, there are three galaxies that are particularly bright. Their light seems to control the 100,000 main sequence stars located in different galaxies within the Milky Way, vaguely outlining three star maps with very different meanings.

Some of them are vast and boundless, as if formed by thousands of different forces; some are heavy and solid, but evolve into prosperous scenes on their own; some are mysterious and profound, like living things, constantly chanting some strange scriptures in a low voice.

At the core are two chaotic and incomprehensible portals. They seem to encompass all the celestial bodies born in this space. Each star can find its source from their indescribable charm.

Xiong Mo mobilized the essence accumulated in the past and said in a concentrated voice, "Preparation for the fourth time of crossing, anchoring the concepts of 'mystery', 'source quality', and 'sequence'."

【Prepare to travel.
Current world: Zhetian world

Crossing the world: Anchoring the concepts of "mystery", "source quality" and "sequence". Anchoring successfully. The unknown world has been anchored. 】

【The third portal is forming.】

Following the prompts on the panel, the gray fog outside the spiral arm of the river surged and merged in front of Xiong Mo like rivers flowing into the ocean.

In just a moment, a new [Boundary Gate] appeared, standing next to the other two [Boundary Gates].

[The way of time travel has been locked - consciousness time travel]

[The time and space of the world of Zhutian has been anchored. It has been detected that there is a projection of him and me in the unknown world. The rewriting of fate/cause and effect has ended.]

[Standard Crossing Procedure Suspended]

Xiong Mo:?
The sudden panel prompt made him stunned.

How is it possible that the unknown world that he had just anchored in actually had an incarnation of himself?

Before he obtained the [Gray Fog Space], Xiong Mo knew exactly what kind of person he was. To put it nicely, he was a white-collar worker working on a construction site, and to put it bluntly, he was just a social animal who calculated prices in front of a computer.

It cannot be said to be mediocre, but it can only be said to be the type that you will never find if you put it in a crowd of people at first glance.

It was incredible that such an ordinary person like him could exist in a world with the three concepts of "mystery", "source" and "sequence". It was even more incredible that he could survive until he was found by the [Gray Fog Space].

Xiong Mo suddenly started to wonder, "I want to go to the 'mysterious world' and use the magic potion system there to perfect my own path. Could it be that the 'world' connected by this [gate] has gone off to some other place?"

"This space is good in every way, but before it is repaired, using the time travel function will be random, and it is difficult to accurately locate the 'world' you want to go to."

With a thought, Xiong Mo reopened the panel of the time travel method and began to select a new time travel method.

[Method of crossing:
Real body time travel (rejected, insufficient in essence)

He enlightened me (through)

Consciousness travel (pass)]

[Redetermine the method of crossing: He and I enlighten you]

[Executing.]

The essence within the space surged again, causing Xiong Mo's consciousness stationed here to instinctively separate a little bit, and transformed this separated consciousness into an extremely pure concept of "self", shining with a trace of immortal spiritual brilliance.

[Travel through time and space and restart, rewriting the concept of "self" through fate/cause and effect]

[The narrative rewrite has been completed, the concept of "self" has been locked, and the preparations for the enlightenment of others and myself are all completed]

[Portal to the unknown world opens]

The brilliant concept of "self" fell into silence as the essence of space was consumed, then floated into the [Boundary Gate] and slowly entered it.

Xiong Mo looked at the gray mist outside the spiral arm of the galaxy, which was about to dissipate but slowly recovered under the generation of essence, and whispered, "After using so much essence, it can still maintain basic stability. Finally, it doesn't feel like ceramics that will break if hit."

. . .

At exactly nine o'clock in the evening somewhere on Earth, a full moon rises quietly, and it seems that just like usual, it shines on the brightly lit city on the earth, blessing every worker who is still working hard at the job during the weekend.

However, in the undetectable field of mysticism, a shocking change is rapidly taking place. It begins to spread at a speed that no living being can predict. In just a moment, it penetrates into the spiritual world that is in contrast to reality, extends out of the solar system, and spreads to the entire universe.

"Tear!"

Several horrifying tearing sounds were heard one after another in various parts of the universe, and roars of pain were heard in various parts of the universe. These were the roars of ancient gods.

They just let them desperately activate their own broken symbols and authority, and the torn parts of the source flew unstoppably towards the solar system, and finally gathered together with a chaotic ocean and a strange gray fog in a hidden corner somewhere, causing some terrible consciousness to revive.

Above this hidden corner, the bright full moon was tinged with a hint of red at some point, like blood-red moonlight shining on the bustling city, as if foreshadowing what was about to happen.

"Dong dong!"

The earth began to tremble rhythmically at some point, as if a heart had formed underground and began to beat. There was an eerie and terrifying feeling with a hint of inexplicable sacredness, which made the living beings who heard and felt the vibrations feel a trace of warmth that seemed to come from their "parents".

However, the shaking of the earth became more and more violent and frequent, causing cracks to tear the earth of the entire planet, the ocean was swept wildly, lightning roared, volcanoes erupted, and extreme natural disasters were generated instantly.

The end of the world came in this vibration that made all living beings feel warm.

In an instant, the human civilization that had developed for more than 6,000 years was destroyed. The entire surface of the planet seemed to be washed away, and almost all the signs that proved the existence of human civilization turned into ruins. The destruction of human civilization seemed to be just the beginning of the official awakening of this indescribable god. When he "rose up", the continental plates shifted terribly, the underground materials rolled out, and a large amount of ore and oil evaporated under the terrifying force. The spiritual world corresponding to reality was destroyed in an instant, and even the starry sky was slightly shaken.

After this divine spirit began to awaken, these simple substances seemed to produce a polymerization reaction, and all things in the universe naturally moved closer to Him and became one with Him.

He is the Creator, the original Creator, the Creator of the universe.

After all the beings in the starry sky cast their gazes towards this god, this concept reverberated in their consciousness. A trace of fear also emerged in their consciousness without knowing when, which was a reverence that came from instinct.

However, when the initial consciousness awakened to a certain degree, the nine source substances that had been integrated into His body split again, and the indescribable body also shattered, turning into a series of properties mixed with extraordinary power, flying to all parts of the world.

At this moment, two of the source substances became activated, or in other words, the original spiritual consciousness contained within them was completely awakened, and they relied on the source substances to become independent individuals.

They are "Tianzun" and "God", the original split personalities.

After the original Creator created the universe, it fell into a deep sleep, and the personalities named "Tianzun" and "God" were created at that time.

Before the initial gathering of the nine source substances to awaken, they were also in a deep sleep. However, in this state, they had already used the authority and extraordinary characteristics they controlled to indirectly and secretly interfere with reality, making a lot of preparations for the real split at this time.

It seemed that due to the appearance of "Tianzun" and "God", the disaster on the planet beneath their feet quickly subsided, and all things were glowing with a strange vitality under the extraordinary power.

The originally destroyed spiritual world was re-opened and dominated by "Tianzun", and the starry sky with the image of converging towards the solar system belonged to "God" and was dominated by him, occupying two of the three pillars of the universe. The remaining pillar was the "Mother Goddess" in the starry sky, whose source was torn apart when she first awakened.

As time passed, the remaining seven split essences were also mastered by "Tianzun" and "God" one by one, increasing their power to a terrifying peak. However, because they mastered multiple essences, it became increasingly difficult for them to control their instinct to regroup into their original form.

The battle began. Both "Tianzun" and "God" wanted each other's essence and extraordinary characteristics. The terrifying battle unfolded in a hidden place. The concepts, authority, and symbols emanating from it made all the gods in the starry sky fear it and they all stayed away from the solar system.

After an unknown amount of time, the battle between "Tianzun" and "God" subsided, and they both seemed to have fallen on Earth. A source of essence was controlled in the starry sky, and the gods known as the Old Ones discovered this and began to approach the solar system.

Some of them wanted to take back their torn essence, and some wanted to control another essence similar to their own. But no matter what their purpose was, they were blocked by a barrier protecting the earth and could not come down. They could only use their own authority to continuously beat the barrier, trying to reduce its power.

This barrier was left by "God" to block these Outer Gods. It contained some of the original power and could block most of the power of the Outer Gods. The source essences that were valued by the Old Ones were sealed up one by one by "Tianzun".

If left for a long time, these will become active and can even be revived into the old source materials, becoming immobile and making it difficult for the Outer Gods outside the barrier to use their means to affect the corresponding source materials.

The source substance of "Tianzun" [Source Castle] rose to the spirit world, while the source substance of "God" [Chaos Sea] sank into the ground.

After experiencing the destruction of the initial awakening and the aftermath of the war between "Tianzun" and "God", the earth now seems to have returned to peace. But the brilliant civilization that existed on the earth in the past is difficult to find again.

. . .

When the "Tianzun" and "God" seemed to have fallen, and their extraordinary characteristics were scattered all over the world, a creature covered with scales, with twisted flesh and bones, just walked out of the cave where it was hiding, trying to find food to sustain its survival.

But by coincidence, a piece of Beyonder characteristic fell from the sky and pierced directly into his chest. There was no blood, no wounds, but this creature still curled up in pain, mouth wide open, screaming silently.

Because countless mumblings filled his mind, madly attacking his memory in an illusory manner, destroying his already limited consciousness.

Although this creature gained new knowledge and strength from the mumbling, which might help him survive in the future, he could hardly continue to endure the mumbling that filled his brain.

The little clarity left in his eyes was about to disappear, and what was replaced by instinctive madness was rising.

"Tear!"

The horrible transformation began, his body became more twisted, and the originally rough scales were stained with dots of light. Even more terrifying was that his sense of self became blurred, and his original memories of life and work in the city were gradually forgotten. Even his name was covered with a layer of mist.

Before he almost lost consciousness, a word suddenly popped up in his mind - "out of control".

"Clap."

He closed his eyes and fell to the ground at the entrance of the cave. His self-consciousness turned into instinctive madness. Without a clear mind to suppress it, the power in his body started to riot, causing his spirit and self-spirituality to distort, constantly pushing him towards a beast with only instinct left.

In such a desperate situation, a miracle seemed to happen.

Under this horrible spiritual distortion, he suddenly had a ray of spirituality that unexpectedly distorted into a strange way. A kind of brilliance with immortal charm, extremely stable, and inherently able to resist horrible external pollution was born.

No, this should probably not be called a distortion; it might be more appropriate to call it evolution.

Extremely pure spiritual power continuously emerged from this ray of light, slowly clearing away all the distortions in his mind and spirit, and then flowed into his body, forcibly gathering the power in his body and suppressing all physical changes caused by the distortion.

Finally, a young man in ragged clothes appeared at the entrance of the cave.

He regained his memories of studying and working in the city, he regained the memories of his forgotten relatives, and most importantly, he remembered his own name.

The young man slowly supported his body by holding on to the rock wall at the entrance of the cave, staggered into the depths of the cave, picked up a deformed stainless steel cup, filled it with a little water from a broken bucket, drank a few sips, washed his face, revealing a pair of deep eyes that seemed to have witnessed the changes of the universe.

After he put down the cup, he slowly sat down along the cave wall and whispered, "Is this the underlying rule of our universe? It's so chaotic and crazy."

As the eyes close and meditation proceeds, a clean spiritual light begins to rise.

His consciousness, which had a hint of immortality, reconnected to the [Gray Fog Space].
