Chapter 1200 - 548: Divine Soul Trembling!

Chapter 548

A series of roars transcending eras exploded in everyone’s divine soul. Zhen Shan and others felt their blood boiling, as if they had personally returned to that glorious era of armored horses and divine ships competing.

But in the next moment, an even more terrifying scene appeared.

Opposite those divine court phantasms, in the endless dark void, strands of extremely cold white Law threads were also being pulled out by the grand array.

Those are the traces of "erasure" left from the "Celestial Order" that acted years ago!

The two utterly opposing paths began to collide and annihilate violently under the grand array’s forceful pull, like water and fire!

Rumble! Rumble!

The entire grand array was shaking intensely, as if it might collapse at any moment.

"Not good! The clash between the traces of the two paths is too severe, even Chaos Immortal Gold can hardly suppress it!" Cang Shi exclaimed in horror.

"If it can’t be suppressed, don’t suppress it!"

Xu Ran’s voice, like a needle that calms the sea, steadied everyone’s Heart Spirit.

He stood up tall, stepping out, directly arriving at the turbulent Chaos Immortal Gold, and sat cross-legged atop it.

"Ten thousand paths as fuel, enter my furnace!"

"Reincarnation as fire, refining the eternal!"

Boom!

From Xu Ran’s eyes, a gold and a gray Divine Light suddenly shot out, transforming into a Yin and Yang fish interwoven with gray and gold, instantly enveloping the Chaos Immortal Gold!

His body, at this moment, completely merged with the entire "Universal Furnace"!

He became the "Furnace Spirit" of this furnace!

"Come!"

Xu Ran opened his mouth and inhaled; the extremely violent divine court and celestial Law traces suddenly found a vent, transforming into two torrents, one golden, one white, crazily pouring into his body!

"Ah——!"

Zhen Shan and the others only saw Xu Ran’s body, half dyed in brilliant gold, divine and majestic, like the descent of the Heavenly Emperor; the other half dyed in icy white, rational and emotionless, like the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao.

Two extreme forces unfolded the most terrifying confrontation within him!

His physical form was frantically birthing and dying between constant "construction" and "erasure"!

On his skin, sacred golden runes would just appear, then disintegrated by cold white logic into nothingness. Immediately afterward, new flesh would regrow under the "definition" of golden runes.

This pain was enough to instantly crush even a Divine Monarch, obliterating their divine soul!

Yet Xu Ran’s face showed no trace of pain, but rather an almost greedy longing!

He was experiencing!

He was analyzing!

He was using his own body as a battlefield to feel the essence of both paths!

"The way of the Divine Court, its core is ’self,’ using the will of ’self’ to define the existence of all things. Tyrannical, yet emotional."

"The way of the Celestial Order, its core is ’reason,’ using the logic of ’reason’ to determine the truth and falsehood of all things. Absolute, yet heartless."

"One is only ’self,’ the other only ’reason’..."

Xu Ran’s divine soul, amidst intense tearing, instead entered an unprecedented state of clarity.

His Gui Xu pupil was frantically operating, analyzing the internal logic of both paths, searching for their commonalities and flaws.

At this moment, time seemed to lose its meaning.

In Xu Ran’s mind, countless images flashed by.

He saw the rise of the Divine Court, a supreme being holding the Divine Court Code, declaring "As I exist, so does order," and thus the chaos of the cosmos was dispelled, the starry rivers returned to order.

He also saw the descent of the Celestial Order, an indescribable will overlooking the prosperous Divine Court, uttering a cold syllable: "Fallacy." Hence, the "Order Code" supporting the entire Divine Court cosmos began to crumble from its conceptual roots.

It turns out, the defeat of the Divine Court was not due to power, but due to "Law"!

Just like a dynasty, however perfected its laws are, they cannot resist the transition of "Destiny."

The Celestial Order is the supreme "Destiny"!

"No... no!"

Just as Xu Ran was about to sink into this powerless insight, alarm bells rang fiercely in his heart!

"If the Celestial Order is indeed destiny, why leave this graveyard? Why set the Cleaner Fish? True destiny is silent and noiseless, nurturing everything quietly. This deliberate ’cleaning’ itself indicates that it is not omniscient and omnipotent! Its ’reason’ is not the universe’s only truth!"

"It, too, feels fear!"

"It fears the ’variable,’ fears existence that its ’logic’ cannot define!"

Boom!

A lightning bolt pierced through Xu Ran’s Sea of Consciousness!

He finally grasped that most crucial point!

His path of Reincarnation, its very existence, is the greatest provocation to the Celestial Order!

Because Reincarnation is neither "existence" nor "nonexistence"; neither "true" nor "false."

Reincarnation is a process from "true" to "false," then from "false" to "true"! It is inherently a paradox! It is a "variable" that cannot be defined by celestial binary logic!

"I understand... I finally understand!"

Xu Ran let out a long howl to the sky, the howl reverberated through the entire Star Domain!

"The way of the Celestial Order, respects ’reason,’ all things are its footnotes!"

"The way of the Divine Court, respects ’self,’ my heart is the heavenly heart!"

"And my path of Reincarnation... respects ’change’!!"

"All things are in change, all beings are in reincarnation! Existence is the beginning of nonexistence, nonexistence is the gestation of existence! The only constant is ’change’ itself! This is the ultimate of the cosmos!"

"Celestial Order, your ’reason,’ must also ’change’!"
