Abandonment I
Countless cognitive imprints from ordinary people at the bottom of society continuously transformed into fine threads, floated up, and flowed into Lin Hui's current imprint through some mysterious channel.
His engraving is slowly entering a completely new stage.
The Growth of All Things Solar Wind Lord.
Great Solar Wind Lord, please grant me a healthy child!
"Great Solar Wind Lord, I want ten children."
Great Wind Lord, thanks to you, I single-handedly rebuilt an entire race!
Lord of the Wind, you bring the call of new life; your voice is the voice of the wind, and your will is the hope of all living beings.
Countless voices flowed into Lin Hui's mind through mysterious channels.
He calmly accepted the feedback from all things, feeling himself slowly and steadily merging into the most fundamental cycle of everything.
The process of imprinting evolving into a person is this.
The integration of the foundation of all things is the key to advancement. When Chongli explained this to Lin Hui, he believed it wholeheartedly.
But... Lin Hui now has a different perspective.
Because he is not the Twisted Celestial, but the True Heavenly Venerable.
In true reality, living beings are neither indispensable nor essential. They are merely a more advanced manifestation of Void Life at a certain stage of development, a complex structure of existence.
He sat cross-legged in the void, sensing more and more things, and they became increasingly complex.
That was no longer a matter of billions; countless perspectives, countless chants, and prayers were all helping him to accelerate his integration into the foundation of all things at this very moment.
I don't know how much time has passed...
Click.
Suddenly, a faint sound rang out from the surrounding void.
The blue flames in Lin Hui's eyes dissipated rapidly, restoring his normal eyes.
That was the Illusion Destruction Eye. Now, he no longer needed the Illusion Destruction Eye's resurrection ability. On the contrary, the Illusion Destruction Eye, now influenced by the Celestial Venerable's true attainment, was gradually transforming into a new strength.
Lin Hui stared at the void ahead, his gaze seemingly piercing through everything, landing directly on every living being who chanted his name.
Time flies.
Year after year, century after century, millennium after millennium, ten thousand years...
The title of Solar Wind Lord was gradually forgotten, but the concept of the Growth of All Things will be passed down forever along with the theories of different civilizations.
Each time the Growth of All Things" is mentioned, it will enhance Lin Hui's status and immortality once more.
After sitting for an unknown amount of time, Lin Hui finally slowly stood up.
Swish.
The moment he stood up, countless colorful lights condensed behind him. These were countless colorful particles that gathered from the surrounding void. The layers of dimensional folds were highlighted here, causing the colorful lights to constantly twist and ripple, like water ripples.
laugh.
"You... finally succeeded..." Mu Cheng Jiang appeared, looking at Lin Hui with a complicated expression.
At this moment, as the colorful light spots behind Lin Hui appeared, his body also rapidly became more solid.
At this moment, Mu Cheng Jiang truly recovered and returned to his peak condition.
"It's just making up for a lesson I missed before, Senior Mu. Thank you so much for all these years." Lin Hui bowed slightly in thanks.
"It's all part of our karma." Mu Cheng Jiang shook his head. "You... can you tell me what's really like on the other side?"
His tone carried a hint of inexplicable curiosity, anticipation, and trepidation.
Even a high-level Celestial Venerable as powerful as him doesn't know what True Status is.
Lin Hui remained silent for a moment.
"Reality... is nothingness."
He slowly raised his head, and his whole body seemed to gradually blur. Even though he was right in front of Mu Cheng Jiang, he could not make out any outline of him.
"Nothingness gives rise to the original substance, and the original substance reflects everything; this is the source of all things. Like a spring, nothingness is the original source." He described it using the simplest metaphor possible.
"Why would nothingness give rise to primordial matter? Shouldn't primordial matter be eternal?" Mu Cheng Jiang frowned. This was different from his previous understanding, and he couldn't comprehend it.
"Nothingness can be divided into Void Life and Void Death. Nothingness is not complete absence, but rather represents the unknown. It is unknowable and unpredictable. It can be a thing or nothingness. Everything depends on the state in which it exists," Lin Hui answered calmly.
What he was merging with at this moment was the true complex form. After the complex form was completely integrated, the feeling that came through was just as described.
"Everything is merely a constant shifting of states of nothingness, evolving from one another. From Void Life arise all things; from Void Death ceases all things."
"But you still haven't explained what nothingness really is?" Mu Cheng Jiang said softly.
"It is everything we cannot understand, and it also includes everything that can be understood, because understanding itself requires explanation and description within your own knowledge system, but it cannot be described. It is the origin of everything. Therefore, it can also be called the origin level," Lin Hui replied.
"Origin-level..." Mu Cheng Jiang seemed to understand something.
Lin Hui stopped speaking, and instead, the colorful light around his body subsided, and his entire body shrank rapidly, instantly transforming him into an ordinary person without any unusual phenomena.
He vanished in a flash, disappearing from his spot in the blink of an eye.
The next instant, the familiar courtyard of Clear Jade Mountain appeared before his eyes.
The person sitting in his previous seat was Lin Yuexiu.
She knelt upright on the prayer mat, closed her eyes in meditation, and breathed deeply.
Suddenly sensing movement, she abruptly opened her eyes.
"Teacher!"
She stood up excitedly, hurriedly bowed, her pretty face full of surprise.
Many years have passed, Lin Hui has long since disappeared from the sight of everyone in Clear Jade Mountain. Even many of the lower and middle-level members have forgotten his real name, only remembering the title of Growth of All Things ".
Lin Hui has long since become a symbol, an imprint, deeply engraved in everyone's hearts.
"No need for formalities," Lin Hui smiled. "I just came back for a visit."
"Okay... okay." Lin Yuexiu's face flushed with excitement. "This disciple will go and inform Xia Si Yun Xiazi immediately!"
"No need..." The long years and ever-growing abilities had long since extinguished any feelings of nostalgia in Lin Hui's heart.
Because if he wanted, everything could be recreated.
His return this time was solely to test the changes brought about by the complete fusion of his True Status.
Before the fusion, he could easily suppress the Phantom Vine; now...
He sat down cross-legged and chatted quietly with Lin Yuexiu for a while, asking about the events of the past few years, the current war situation outside, and the difficulties and troubles in his cultivation.
At the same time, on the outskirts of Clear Jade Mountain, throughout the entire Wind Disaster zone, all Wind Energy was expanding, increasing, and multiplying wildly, as if it had taken stimulants.
The area affected by the Wind Disaster, which had previously maintained a delicate balance with Wind Energy, was suddenly expanded again, encroaching on a large area.
Countless Fusionist were caught off guard, overwhelmed and suppressed by the Wind Energy. Before they could react, it was eroded into their bodies. The lower-level parts were transformed into Wind Energy followers, while the higher-level and stronger parts were mostly transformed before being instantly self-destructed under the control of the Source Disaster.
The Fusionist suffered heavy casualties in a short time.
As Lin Hui chatted idly, he also loosened his control over the Wind Energy.
After merging with the True Status, he and the Wind Energy both underwent wondrous changes.
Without his control or the efforts of his generals, Wind Energy began to increase inexplicably on its own.
No energy is needed, no absorption is needed, no transformation is needed; one part becomes two parts, and two parts become four parts.
It was as if something had appeared out of nowhere, added out of thin air.
This increase in speed far exceeds the speed at which the Wind Disaster Energy.
While chatting with his disciples, Lin Hui could clearly sense that the power of complexity seemed to connect with a mysterious, ever-expanding force the moment it merged with him.
That power cannot be felt or touched; it can only be inferred from the other apparent features around it, through reverse calculation, to deduce its existence in the true nothingness.
After he truly merged with the Profound Space, that power seemed to have a master, rapidly transforming itself, with a portion becoming countless Wind Energy.
Lin Hui vaguely seemed to have guessed that the power was the so-called Void Life...
"Teacher, now that you have truly broken through, why do you still need to collect the Existence Force? Can't you cultivate and generate it on your own?" At this moment, Lin Yuexiu's voice pulled Lin Hui back from his perception.
"Look." He smiled, stretched out his hand, and a Myriad Stars Fruit appeared in his palm, radiating a rich Existence Force.
Then, he infused it with the power of prosperity.
Swish.
Suddenly, one more Myriad Stars Fruit appeared, an identical second one.
Its interior is also filled with golden Existence Force.
But... Lin Hui felt that the Existence Force this second one was almost illusory. Although it shone with golden light just like the first one, it was like an empty shell.
"I can increase everything, but I can't increase cause and effect. I can't increase connections, which means I'm still a little short of Growth of All Things," Lin Hui said.
What is the Existence Force?
He had pondered this countless times over the millions of years.
"From the perspective of external things, everything can be divided into nothingness and all things."
"But for our lives, everything can only be divided into three parts: past, present, and future. This division applies to any dimension, because tense is the foundation of our individual will."
He smiled and waved his hand in the air, instantly creating a flowing blue stream of wind Wind Energy.
It is only the length of a forearm, constantly flowing, floating, light and fluid.
"Our will is like a stream, inherently a process of change, a dynamic equilibrium. The past is merely a record, the future is a possibility, but the only thing we can truly grasp is the present—what we call existence. We exist here, right now."
"I understand." Lin Yuexiu nodded in realization. "We reminisce about the past for the sake of the present; we plan for the future for the sake of the present. In any case, what we truly seek is the present."
"So the essence of the Existence Force is actually a kind of advance reserve for the future. It is an intermediate product of the transformation of influence into the number of the group itself. It is an accumulation of a kind of illusory power. That is, what I call Void Life." Lin Hui nodded.
"Momentum..." Lin Yuexiu seemed to have realized something, and the level of her cultivation technique was slightly loosened.
She had been stuck in materialism for millions of years, and at this moment, it seemed that there was finally a new hope for a breakthrough.
Seeing that he was lost in inspiration, Lin Hui did not disturb him again, but quietly disappeared from the spot.
The Existence Force is a manifestation of Void Life, and naturally it cannot transform itself. It is only affected by another opposing force, which is Void Death, that is, the force of destruction.
Lin Hui didn't know how large the Void Black Domain was.
Although his current size far exceeds everyone's imagination, he still cannot reach the limits of the void, and he does not know how many more pieces of the Wind Disaster have been dispersed.
