Myth: The Ruler of Spirituality

Chapter 531 - 155: The Contradictory Fate_3

...

Within the emptiness, two streaks of light swiftly darted by.

Compared to the world within, both Laine and Nyx had noticeably declined in their speed of progress and the imposing aura they gave off. This wasn’t due to excessive consumption of energy but because here, the ’existence’ of the world undoubtedly seemed very faint.

In the classical philosophy of The East that would emerge in later generations, there was a saying, "The Dao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, three begets all things." But if even the ’Dao’ ceases to exist, then many things built upon it would also lose their significance.

It was like characters in a game becoming detached from the game itself—they would just be a bunch of meaningless code. Thus, when the ’existence’ of the world was diminished, everything built on the world’s rules would naturally weaken as well. Compared to Nyx, however, Laine fared a bit better, since he himself possessed a part of the power that could anchor existence.

The streaks of light continued to travel, and after an indeterminate amount of time, the ’existence’ of the surrounding emptiness finally became clear again. Yet compared to the environment of Chaos World, this place bore a slight scent of a Foreign Realm.

However, this sensation precisely confirmed that they were heading in the right direction. Consequently, as their own power gradually returned, they increased their speed—until suddenly, the sound of collision and friction from those origins thunderously filled the air.

"A conflict between Destiny and Order?"

Halting in the emptiness, Nyx looked towards the distance.

There, it seemed as if something both infinitely large and infinitely small existed, yet she could see no tangible thing.

That was their target, but compared to the clearly visible, river-encircled Chaos, this world appeared to be shrouded in shadow.

At this time, deploying forces deep into the enemy’s core without any backup was uncertain in dealing damage, but it was certain that those who went likely wouldn’t return.

Gods are indeed immortal, but that’s assuming their opponents are not another world.

"And what about Io?"

"And since there’s a problem... would they just keep being at a stalemate like this?"

"Io is a mortal, and although she holds a certain position in Destiny, her existence or absence wouldn’t really affect the world."

"As for the gods..."

Hesitating for a moment, Laine spoke faintly.

"I don’t know, perhaps time will give the answer... But I have a better solution."

"After all, Nyx, look, since the Hemenu World still has some strength to spare—how am I to enter it?"

This indeed posed a problem, as Laine knew with certainty that he wouldn’t be able to breach that ’Boundless Darkness’ on his own. Thus, during the conversation, Laine’s gaze turned toward one of the closest orbs of light.

That was Athena, the beacon of Wisdom and Victory he had followed all the way here.
