Chapter 1203: Earth-Shattering! (Part 2)

“…calculating…”

“‘Change’ is the path from ‘reasonable’ to ‘unreasonable,’ a fluctuation pending correction.”

The Adjudicator provided its answer.

“Wrong!”

Divine Light surged in Xu Ran’s eyes, and his Reincarnation Domain erupted with unprecedented brilliance at this moment!

“‘Change’ is not a path but the essence of the Cosmos!”

“‘Alteration’ is the eternal truth!”

“Your ‘reason’ is just a still wave in the river of ‘alteration’!”

“Move for me!”

Xu Ran clasped his hands abruptly before his chest, then pulled them apart forcefully!

The three-dimensional Reincarnation Dao Seal before his chest, resembling a Möbius strip, started to rotate frantically!

In an instant, all silver logical lines within the “Absolute Field” seemed to be plucked by an invisible hand, beginning uncontrollable flow and change!

The originally straight lines began to curve.

The originally perfect cubes started to warp into irregular shapes.

The Adjudicator’s “absolute order,” akin to ironclad law, experienced unprecedented chaos under Xu Ran’s core Dao of “everything changes”!

“Alert! Alert! Variable pollution level exceeds threshold!”

“Foundations of Dao Principles are being eroded!”

For the first time, the cold notion of the Adjudicator showed a trace of emotion similar to “astonishment.”

It did not understand!

In its calculations, Xu Ran’s Dao was full of flaws; why could it instead shake its foundation?

It did not comprehend that its “reason” was built atop a grand structure, exquisite and majestic, yet required a stable foundation.

But Xu Ran’s “Dao” was a flood! It was magma! It was a wild wind! Chaotic and unordered, yet capable of destroying all fixed forms!

“Using variables to combat constants! Using chaos to overturn order!”

Xu Ran seized this fleeting opportunity, sensing the other side’s Dao, though strong, lacked something.

Something… “spirit”! A capability for self-evolution in the face of the unknown!

“The furnace of myriad Dao, its legacy belongs to me!”

Xu Ran roared, the booming resonance of plentiful Dao Principles from the Divine Court Fleet within him erupted violently!

It was not merely power, but the unyielding will of countless Divine Court soldiers before dying in battle, their obsession to guard civilization!

“Divine Court persists, order is eternal!”

“Fight! Fight! Fight!”

Countless golden phantoms appeared behind Xu Ran, holding Divine Soldiers, steering Divine Ships, and issued a roar across epochs at the silver sky!

This is the power of “emotion”! Something the cold “reason” cannot calculate!

The golden torrent merged into Xu Ran’s Reincarnation Domain, bringing the world that was only gray and chaotic a touch of brilliant, human glory-filled color!

The Reincarnation Dao, at this moment, evolved again!

No longer a mere cycle of life and death, but added the continuation of “civilization” and the inheritance of “spirit”!

Crack!

The crisp sound of shattering echoed across the starry sky.

The silver “Absolute Field” finally could not hold, shattered like a mirror!

The stars reemerged, the Metal Tomb remained.

Zhen Shan and others panted heavily as if pulled back from the brink of drowning, looking in horror at the sky above.

On that giant silver cross, on its smooth, mirror-like surface, a fine crack had appeared!

Xu Ran, with his newly formed Dao, using the cultivation at the pinnacle of Daoist Master, forcibly shook a terrifying existence “Above Daoist Monarch”!

Although his face turned paler, and his Reincarnation Domain’s brilliance dimmed, evidently consuming greatly, he won the first round of the clash!

“Variable… exceeds estimation.”

“Initiate second plan: ‘Celestial Law Scripture’, administer cause and effect judgment.”

The Adjudicator γ-7 evidently was without emotion, nor feeling defeated. The failure of one attack only prompted it to start a stronger contingency plan.

The giant silver cross began to disassemble and recompose.

Countless silver light sheets unfolded like pages, eventually forming in the starry sky an unimaginably enormous and incomparably heavy silver scripture!

On the scripture, there are no words, only endless runes representing the cosmos’s supreme “reason” flowing.

It opened.

Whoosh—

The sound of pages turning, as if the cosmos’s fate was being plucked.

It finally stopped at a blank page.

A light pen formed purely of “reason” appeared on the page, slowly rising.

“Judgment object: Xu Ran.”

“Judgment charge: Stealing ‘Gui Xu’ authority, constructing a Dao of ‘paradox’, endangering the existence of ‘truth’.”

The light pen began to move, about to inscribe Xu Ran’s fate.

“Judgment result:…”

At this moment, Xu Ran felt unprecedented great terror!

It was not suppression by power, but erasure on the “cause and effect” level!

He felt his connection to this world being forcibly cut by this pen. His past was blurring; his future was leading to “nothingness.”

Once the pen wrote “soul scattered,” he would be thoroughly, cleanly erased from this timeline as if never existing!

This is among the most domineering methods of the Celestial Order Sequence, cause and effect judgment!

Ignoring process, directly defining outcome!

“Don’t think so!”

Xu Ran’s eyes were about to crack, with the Reincarnation Dao Seal spinning frantically, trying to resist this separation on the cause and effect level. But his Dao, after all, was just nascent; how could it contend with this supreme scripture wielding cause and effect?

His sense of existence was fading rapidly!

On the Pioneer, Zhen Shan and others were horrified to find that the memories in their minds about “Our Lord” were beginning to show omissions and confusion!

“No! No! Our Lord!” Zhen Shan clutched his head, crying out in pain.

At this critical juncture.

A fragment of bizarre black bone finger’s delivering, shattered thought lit up in Xu Ran’s mind.

“…fraud…everything is a fraud!”

“…’Celestial’ isn’t a Guardian, it’s a thief!”

“…it stole ‘fruits’…it pilfered all worlds’ ‘Doomsday fruits’!”

Thief!

Yes! Thief!

A flash of inspiration, like a world-opening Divine Thunder, exploded in the depths of Xu Ran’s Sea of Consciousness!

He had always fallen into a misunderstanding!

He’d always used his own “Dao” to confront the other’s “law.”

Like a commoner using their reasoning to oppose an empire’s law, no matter how reasonable you are, you’re destined to fail.

But… what if the empire that makes the law itself is illegal? What if the judge high atop the bench is herself a criminal?

“Haha… hahahaha!”

Xu Ran suddenly burst into laughter, filled with endless ridicule and disdain.

“To act in judgment under a thief’s name, the height of absurdity!”

His Divine Soul’s sound was no longer a mere defense but transformed into the sharpest blade, stabbing directly at the core of the “Celestial Law Scripture”!

“I ask you!”

Xu Ran’s voice resonated across this Star Domain like a great bell, every word imbued with the core true meaning of his Reincarnation Dao, full of the power of “change” and “questioning”!

“You claim to be celestial order; do you know there’s a sky beyond the sky?”

“You hold the scripture; do you know there’s law above the law?”

“You judge all things; do you know who will judge you?”

“You define truth and falsehood; do you know whether you yourself are true or false?!”

The last question was earth-shattering!

Xu Ran transformed the earth-shaking secrets delivered by the black bone finger into the most lethal Dao inquiry!

“The thief who stole the ‘Doomsday fruits’ and blocked the ‘Return Home Path,’ what qualification do you have to judge me here?!”

Boom!!!!!!!!!!

The entire Cosmos seemed to pause for a moment because of this sentence.

The vast “Celestial Law Scripture,” the light pen poised to write the judgment result, suddenly halted!

On the scripture, those endless silver runes representing “absolute truth” fiercely flickered, presenting a trace of unprecedented… chaos!
