Chapter 2187: Chapter 64: You Must, Like Love, Journey to the End of Every Road

Before death truly arrives, life is always a dancing note.

But the question arises.

——Suppose.

——Suppose there is a kind of power, a damned, seemingly convenient divine power, a very formidable force, that allows one to [skip] all the [process], directly reaching the conclusion?

"Star God, and Aether..."

At this moment, Ian was truly speechless: "Oh my God, my past calculations were really not wrong, it was indeed the Star God who sent Aether into ’The End’!"

"But it’s different from what I thought back then, the Star God’s actions are a bit larger!"

The End of the Terra Universe is [Unifying Great Star], a living black hole that absorbs everything, representing all the wisdom, all the truths and powers of this universe. But this is just the Terra Universe; other universes might not be the same, as seen by other visions of Ian.

Aether’s power transcends space-time, a fact Ian had long known, but the power of Aether capable of surpassing infinite space-time, reaching directly the [Farthest Path] to ’an infinitely distant future’, embodying the entire universe’s ’final outcome’, namely ’The End’, into reality, was indeed beyond Ian’s imagination.

But thinking carefully, it’s not surprising.

The universe also has a lifespan, but it will also be reborn, just like a cycle of reincarnation.

It naturally has a [The End], but generally, a universe with intelligent life, before it can reach [The End], would have already been like the Star Gods, having filled up all technologies defying entropy, time jump technology, time reversal technology.

Like a person clearly having only a hundred years, unable to die due to continuous development of life-extending technologies—because of the existence of intelligent life, the universe’s end never arrives.

This is the meticulously arranged process by the Star Gods with their astounding wisdom: The universe nurtures life, life extends the universe, the universe then nurtures more life, life extends the universe even longer, even breaking through to become Star Gods, creating new universes, starting the next cycle... All of this is like an infinite loop of endless iterations, as long as it continues, the universe will never meet its end.

But the Star Gods, who created [True Ether] capable of surpassing all space-time, might have forgotten one thing—they might be able to jump through many meaningless processes via ether.

But skipping these processes, they’ll reach a [boring and unavoidable conclusion].

Like flipping directly to the end of a book.

Like skipping directly to the end of a movie.

Like in a game where cheats are used to kill the boss in one slash, without even watching the plot... no, this analogy is problematic.

It should be like in a game, after just selecting the character and molding the face, without even stepping out the door, the final boss comes knocking.

Like a person who can clearly live for thousands, tens of thousands of years, but the [inevitability of death] is brought before them at a young age.

How can one confront death in such a situation?

One can confront death because throughout hundreds and even thousands of years of life, they have encountered multiple technological revolutions.

Not allowing one to experience the ’process’, directly jumping to the ’result’, of course, is [The End eliminating everything]!

——Monsters are killed, they die.

——Humans are killed, of course, they die too!

Vast Sea transforms into high mountains, mountains transform into Vast Sea, perhaps at that time, the animals living in the sea have already evolved into terrestrial beings, but suddenly the Vast Sea changes into high mountains, all fish would be dried to death.

Therefore, facing countless different and incredibly powerful ends, Star Gods inevitably retreat, because their means to conquer those ends lie in the future—they even can’t figure out what attacks are issued by The End, or whether they are encountering some natural phenomenon.

They are oblivious to the situation.

"That’s why I say, you can’t fast forward casually... compared to the ending, the process is still the most important."

Ian helplessly shook his head, sighed, then regained his smile: "Fortunately, ’Great Dark Sky’ is not difficult to deal with—it’s just variation small heat death, and the sun must extinguish first. As long as I can take away the Fragment of Demise, and then draw away the external end, the inside of the cradle will be safe."

Boom.

Everything is just a moment.

In the eyes of the Four Great Dragon Kings and Carlos, Ian merely touched the Fragment of Demise for a moment, then reinserted it back into the black hole.

And the black hole seemed to have changed somewhat, under the influence of spiritual power, this black hole seemed more profound, adding many different meanings, concepts, and symbols.

Ian picked up this black hole, as simply as picking up a golf ball, holding it in the palm of his hand.

He raised his head, surveyed the entire Terra Solar System.

What a vast, yet tiny cage this was.

Throughout the ages, all human wisdom, all human love and hatred, all human virtues and dedication, ugliness and hatred, all the sparks of genius, the folly of fools.

Those emperors and great men who once illuminated an era, those great scholars and geniuses who inspired human history, and those unknown ordinary people, those who just peacefully lived their lives.

Even, the civilization and planet itself, encompassing all of the above, even more including countless mindless beasts and ants.

The vast majority will silently perish, vanish, extinct within a solar system.

If not venturing outward, not gazing into the distance, then all the civilization’s halls erected by humans will ultimately be destined to be buried in meaningless nihility of dust and ashes.
