"Reality had never been fixed."
The light on the staff began to change—not merely alternating between bright and dim, but undergoing a deeper fluctuation. Reality itself was changing, evolving, breaking through its own definition.
[Kong Guan]'s observation suddenly failed.
Because Lin Ye's existence changed every instant, the information observed one second was already outdated the next. This was not a simple change in form, but an uncertainty of essence.
"Quantum-state reality?" [Kong Guan] frowned.
"No." Lin Ye shook his head. "It is ever-evolving reality. Reality is not a fixed concept—it is always growing, always surpassing itself."
[Xu Chi]'s manipulation of possibilities also ran into trouble.
She found that she could not lock onto any possibility, because Lin Ye was actively creating new ones. Whenever she tried to choose a future advantageous to herself, Lin Ye opened an entirely new timeline.
"Are you tampering with causality?"
"I am creating causality," Lin Ye answered. "In a real world, the future is not predetermined. It is created."
[Wu Wu]'s conceptual reconstruction was equally ineffective.
He changed the rules, and Lin Ye adapted to the new rules. He reconstructed concepts, and Lin Ye created new concepts. It became an endless chase, with Lin Ye always one step ahead.
The three sages stopped at the same time.
"Interesting." [Kong Guan] closed his eyes again. "Your understanding of reality is already close to Source Origin."
"Source Origin?"
"The starting point of all things, the state before existence and nothingness divided," [Xu Chi] explained. "At that level, there are no opposites, only infinite possibilities."
[Wu Wu]'s form stabilized, becoming that of an ordinary person. "Lin Ye, I take back what I said. You do not need to join the Void Council, because you have already set foot on your own path."
"But—"
His tone suddenly became solemn.
