Chapter 588: 337
Compared to a reality filled with various industrial pollution, and man-made environmental damage.
The sky here is azure, mirrored like the sea surface.
Clouds stretch on continuously, like thick ink and heavy color on a scroll painting.
It’s more like a beautiful dreamland where humans have never existed.
This scenery,
Has remained unchanged through tens of thousands of years.
However,
At the moment when King hurls his world consciousness to the ground.
A storm,
Instantly disorients the scroll.
A gigantic visible wave of air spreads in the clouds above.
Following closely, is the piercing and sharp howl.
A black thread breaks through the clouds, streaking across the sky like a meteor.
Eventually,
It crashes into the continent on the ground with a bang.
That continent is a reflection of a real world continent, but it shows no signs of human habitation.
At first, there is no sound.
It seems like the scroll painting is frozen again.
But after a short pause.
Disaster,
Begins.
Centring where the world consciousness fell.
Boom!!!
Magma erupts from the ground like a pillar of fire.
Spiderweb-like fractures start to spread wildly.
From the bottomless crevices, you can clearly see the faintly visible red magma.
The visible shockwave, like an eraser,
Erases everything on the surface wherever it goes.
A scene like doomsday intensifies in just a few seconds.
Until the end,
King, standing high in the skyline, can clearly see the fragmenting of the continent.
“Hahaha!”
Wild laughter echoed in the skyline.
King’s face was filled with excitement.
As if venting the resentment that had been suppressed in his heart for tens of thousands of years.
King stomps vigorously on the air.
Then another shockwave erupts.
His figure plunges towards the ground at a speed faster than the world consciousness, rushing towards the soon-to-be-destroyed land.
The solid rock layer offers no resistance to his body.
The scorching magma brushes over his skin’s surface, like a gentle breeze and a light rain, causing no harm at all.
Until the end,
King arrives later, again standing before the world consciousness.
He faces the cold gaze within the fog.
He faces the suffocating silence that’s the same as always.
He gives the world consciousness no chance to breathe.
His hand, radiating with a scarlet glow, shoots out again, and grabs it in a tight grip.
King grins.
His smile, is full of savagery.
“Look at you now.”
His voice, is full of lethal intent.
“So weak and pitiful.”
King’s arm turns ephemeral in an instant.
His muscle-swollen fist, like a cannonball, splits the air, and smashes into the ethereal fog.
Boom!!!
The initially slow progression of the doomsday scene is suddenly fast-forwarded at this moment.
The foggy shadow further dissolves in an instant and struggles to maintain its form.
King is relentless.
His two arms turn into countless fists in the sky, hitting the world consciousness like a torrential downpour.
“Why did you think that giving your power to a Homo sapiens would allow them to defeat us on your behalf?”
“You couldn’t do it.”
“Your so-called ‘Savior’ can’t do it either!”
The earth is crumbling.
Countless pillars of magma rise to the sky, turning the originally azure sky into a fiery red.
“The King seems very pleased.”
The First Generation Heavenly People who appear emotionally detached stand on the ruins of the Grand Hall, looking at the continent in the distance that is gradually headed towards doom.
“He has been stifled for too long.”
Ji’s eyes reveal a sense of pity.
“When time ceases to be a rarity, life loses its meaning.”
“We all experienced this.”
“And King, he has been blaming himself from the beginning.”
“Blaming himself for not being powerful enough, and having to watch helplessly as we were imprisoned by World Consciousness.”
“Over tens of thousands of years, he has been in perpetual agony.”
Ji’s voice contained relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
It also echoed with a sudden realization, like seeing light after passing through a thick cloud.
When King previously faced several Third-Generation Heavenly People, he didn’t reveal all the secrets.
The Supreme Demon is not benevolent.
This,
The Heavenly People knew from the beginning.
But back then, they didn’t have a choice.
Receiving the blessings of the other party, transforming their lives, obtaining supreme power.
All of these benefits come with corresponding prices.
And this price is the Origin Power.
Only planets with sentient life can birth this power.
Sentient life has never been a common phenomenon.
According to Ji’s understanding,
In the many parallel universes.
The first batch of sentient creatures is the center of all life forms in this universe.
Because the initial sentient life represented the change from inorganic to organic.
It’s an order born from chaos.
They were the accumulative results of countless miracles.
Their existence is precious.
Their thoughts, their souls, their existence itself, all contain enormously powerful potential.
As civilization advances, spirits will gradually congregate, and potentials will be transformed.
In the end,
An existence known as World Consciousness is born.
He is the aggregation of human consciousness, the guardian of civilization.
He is formed by the minds of sentient life, possessing the Origin Power that can be called the foundation of civilization.
As for what the Origin Power is good for?
Ji felt it was difficult to express in words.
Calling it omnipotent would apparently be a bit exaggerated.
But a singular effect doesn’t suffice to explain it well.
To explain with concrete examples,
Those epoch-shifting moments in human history, that were propelled by a mere chance.
Those times when there is a surplus of talent, and technological progress leaps forward exponentially.
Those people born in troubled times capable of reversing the course of major events.
Within these,
The Origin Power plays a role.
