"Reality was never fixed."
The light on the staff began to change. It was not a simple alternation between brightness and darkness, but a deeper fluctuation. Reality itself was changing, evolving, breaking free of its own definition.
[Kong Guan]'s observation suddenly failed.
Lin Ye's existence changed from moment to moment, rendering the information just observed obsolete a second later. This was not a simple change in form, but uncertainty in his very essence.
"Quantum-state reality?" [Kong Guan] frowned.
"No." Lin Ye shook his head. "It's 'constantly evolving reality.' Reality isn't a fixed concept. It grows forever, forever surpassing itself."
[Xu Chi]'s Possibility Manipulation ran into trouble as well.
She found that she could not lock onto any single possibility, because Lin Ye was actively creating new ones. Whenever she was about to choose a future favorable to her, Lin Ye opened up an entirely new timeline.
"You're toying with causality?"
"I'm creating causality," Lin Ye replied. "In a real world, the future isn't determined. It's created."
[Wu Wu]'s Conceptual Reconstruction was equally ineffective.
When he changed the rules, Lin Ye adapted to the new rules. When he reconstructed concepts, Lin Ye created new ones. 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 has already approached the 'Origin.'"

[Wu Wu]'s form stabilized, taking on the appearance of an ordinary person. "Lin Ye, I take back what I said earlier. You don't need to join the Void Council, because you've already embarked on your own path."
"But-"
His tone suddenly grew
