"Is this... the truth of civilization?"
Six-Eared Macaque's hand, gripping the Stardust Longsword, trembled uncontrollably; the scene before him was beyond all his imagination.
Behind the Bronze Giant Door lay tens of thousands of projections of the Primordial Origin World —each bubble-like cosmic membrane reflecting a different stage of the Primordial Wilderness land.
The chains binding Taichu snapped, revealing a pulsating bronze gear on his chest. "The homeland we thought we were protecting is nothing more than an ecosystem built by the Observer."
The Six-Eared Macaque, with colorful lotuses on their foreheads, uncontrollably bloomed with thirty-six halos of light, each halos reflecting the end of a certain civilization era.
When the thirty-sixth light wheel lit up, he finally saw clearly the bronze pillars floating in the void.
Each pillar is connected to countless transparent umbilical cords—the other end of which is connected to the core of the Heavenly Dao of various universes.
Welcome to the Nursery of Civilization.
The voice of the ruler came from all directions, and countless phantom images of gears meshing appeared in the void.
"Each Primordial Origin World is a petri dish; when a civilization develops to the point of being able to touch the laws of dimensions, it will be harvested and made into a specimen."
Six-Eared Macaque suddenly felt the Immortal Slaying Halberd become scorching hot, and the civilization totems that appeared on the halberd were wailing.
He finally understood that the runes on those bronze pillars were not seals, but rather the marks of despair left behind when the flame of civilization was extinguished.
"Master, back then you..."
The half-bloomed lotus between Taichu's brows suddenly shattered, revealing an intricate star-pattern structure within; however, a variable factor was generated during its cultivation.
Suddenly, bronze rain fell from the void, each drop of rain enveloping fragments of civilization.
Six-Eared Macaque swung his sword and cleaved through the rain, revealing himself in a cosmic bubble, his body wrapped in Star Chain.
"So we were mutually causal!"
The Stardust Longsword suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, and three hundred and sixty spatial rifts appeared around Six-Eared Macaque.
From each crack emerged a different version of themselves: some carried giant bronze coffins, some rode star-sea dragon whales, and some had already turned into stone statues.
Taichu, Tai Chu plunged the broken sword into his chest, and dark golden blood burst forth from the gear core. "Use the Primordial Fire Seed to ignite the colorful lotus! This is the only way..."
Before he could finish speaking, a bronze tentacle suddenly reached out from the void and pierced through him.
Six-Eared Macaque saw that his master's body was being quantized, and in those scattered light particles, the memories of civilizations harvested over billions of years emerged.
"; No!";
The Chaos Dao Lotus leaped from the Six-Eared Macaque Spirit Platform, and images of the great battle between the first generation of Guardians and Observer appeared on the platform.
When he saw the first guardian being transformed into the first bronze pillar, Six-Eared Macaque finally understood the meaning of the existence of all the inheritors.
They are all deliberately cultivated variables used to refine the Observer's harvesting system.
The Stardust Longsword suddenly flew autonomously toward the bubble universe, and wherever the sword tip passed, countless umbilical cords were severed.
The freed cosmic bubbles began to collide and merge, forming a massive Hundun vortex in the void.
The Dominator's voice trembled for the first time, "Initiate the End Protocol."
All the bronze pillars simultaneously emitted purple light, weaving together in the void to form a dodecahedral cage.
Six-Eared Macaque felt his thoughts being broken down, and fragments of memory receding like a tide.
In the critical moment, those "selves" in the spacetime rifts suddenly raised their hands simultaneously.
Three hundred and sixty star orbits traced a Reverse Entropy matrix within the cage.
"Now is the time!"
Six-Eared Macaque pressed the Chaos Dao Lotus into his brow, and galaxy-level energy surged from every pore of his body.
The newly formed cosmic bubble in his hand collapsed into a singularity, crashing violently into the dodecahedron, the core node of the cage.
In the intense light of the Big Bang, Six-Eared Macaque saw the true first Observer.
It is a collection of consciousness composed of three hundred cosmic Black Hole.
In every Black Hole world, the image of the fallen Colored Lotus Successor is reflected.
The brightest of these is the scene of the Taichu when fire was stolen.
"So despair is your best nourishment."
Six-Eared Macaque suddenly abandoned all defenses, allowing the Observer's tentacles to pierce into his Spirit Platform.
In the instant his consciousness was corrupted, he captured the vibration frequency of the weakest string in the entire system.
The roots of the Chaos Dao Lotus suddenly pierced through all dimensions and took root on the tombstones of the successors.
When the thirty-six lotus seeds popped out of the withered lotus pods, the primordial bells rang throughout the entire Primordial Chaos World.
"With my divine soul as the guide, I will rebuild the foundation of dimensions!"
The body of the Six-Eared Macaque began to glow, each photon carrying the spark of civilization.
The newly formed cosmic strings wove a cocoon around him, enveloping the Observer's core within.
The remnants of those harvested civilizations awakened one after another, transforming into glittering stardust that surged into the giant cocoon.
When the last grain of stardust disappeared, only the swirling Hundun lotus remained in the void.
Between the opening and closing of the lotus petals, the cry of an infant emanates from the core—the newborn universe is nurturing true free will.
The Stardust Longsword hovered silently beside the colorful lotus, its blade displaying the final inscription. "All destruction is the pangs of rebirth."
The baby's cries grew louder and louder, as if trying to break the silence of this Primordial Chaos World.
With the sound of crying, the Hundun Lotus slowly rose and flew towards the endless void.
During the flight, the colorful lotus continuously emitted a soft glow, and wherever this glow touched, the originally broken space began to slowly repair itself.
He gazed at the newly formed universe, which gradually stabilized, his heart filled with satisfaction.
However, he also sensed a hidden force lurking in the shadows, still ready to make its move.
Six-Eared Macaque instantly became alert, and the Hundun Lotus emitted an even brighter light, as if resisting an unknown threat.
The hidden power gradually coalesced into a dark shadow, within which a cold, eerie light flickered.
"You think you can reshape everything like this?" the shadowy figure shrieked.
The Six-Eared Macaque's spiritual consciousness attached itself to the colorful lotus and responded, "A new order has begun, and you can no longer recklessly reap the benefits of civilization."
The shadowy figure sneered, "This is only a temporary calm. I am a remnant of the old order. Given the slightest chance, I will rebuild that harvesting system once again."
Just then, the Stardust Longsword suddenly trembled, its inscriptions shimmering, and a beam of starlight shot towards the shadowy figure.
As the shadowy figure dodged, the Hundun Lotus swiftly released chains of energy that bound the figure.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Six-Eared Macaque mobilized the cosmic string force to reinforce the chains, causing the shadowy figure to struggle even more fiercely.
"Even if you can trap me for a while, you can't trap me forever," the shadowy figure roared.
Six-Eared Macaque remained unmoved. He commanded Cai Lian to drag the shadowy figure to the edge of the Primordial Chaos World, where there was a Chaos Abyss.
