238: Section 238

Only Thanos, with all six Infinity Stones gathered, could possibly shatter the Circle of Reason within the scope of a single universe.

But the problem is...

The Circle of Reason has long since ascended to the conceptual level.

It is two sides of the same coin as Su Ming's Qiankun Yi Qi!

Even if the Circle of Reason of one universe were destroyed, so what? Su Ming could reconstruct it with a flick of his hand, but how many times can Thanos snap his fingers?

Therefore...

In the current era of the Myriad Heavens...

Simply being able to fight is outdated. Only a 'cheater' who is proficient in all fields—capable of both fighting and creating—is qualified to speak loudly within the Myriad Heavens!

Unluckily...

Su Ming is a textbook example of someone whose Creation ability far exceeds his combat power.

Even more unluckily...

Su Ming's Star-Forging Lord class possesses the trait of converting the stars he forges into his own combat power!

The more powerful the forged celestial bodies are, the stronger Su Ming, as the Star-Forging Lord, becomes!

It is by relying on this cheat-like method of 'stepping on one's own right foot with the left to spiral upward' that Su Ming gained the ability to forcibly suppress a weakened True God despite not being a Legend himself!

Su Ming spoke of this nonchalantly, but Hexi asked in a startled, slightly bristling voice:

"Wait, are you saying that Evil God is still alive? You've magically modified a True God, who exists eternally with the Dao, into the form of a tidal lighthouse?"

Su Ming nodded as if it were only natural:

"Yes. Otherwise, the Central Limited Star-Sea Spacetime Matrix built with the tidal lighthouse as its core couldn't possibly possess such powerful coerciveness..."

"Furthermore, if it weren't a god, how could it unleash a destructive torrent like Divinity Fission: Tide?"

Ah, this...

It actually makes a lot of damn sense!

But the problem is, doing this is a bit too brutal.

Who would have thought that Su Ming's brutality was beyond the limits of Hexi's imagination!

"Don't look at me like that, I'm not some devil. I've calculated it; the current architecture is the most stable and efficient!"

"I use the Circle of Reason to forcibly suppress the Evil God's subjective will!"

"Then I inscribed a microscopic ritual array inside that Evil God's body, which, together with various transcendent materials, builds the Central Limited Star-Sea Spacetime Matrix!"

"With the internal and external combined like this, the main will of this Evil God will be doomed for eternity. Its divine energy can also achieve a linkage effect with the ebb and flow of the Nine Heavens Long River, supplying the orderly operation of the tidal lighthouse's various functions!"

Hiss!—

Even more brutal!

In the face of such heavenly principles, even demons seem quite pleasant!

But...

What if?

Su Ming gave a cold laugh; there was no soil for a 'what if' to exist!

Don't forget, the battlefield anchored by the Central Limited Star-Sea Spacetime Matrix is the Dream Multiverse, which is currently undergoing the process of dimensionalization!

Su Ming uses the Source of Holy Light and the Silver Net Hub—two supercomputing celestial bodies—to jointly monitor it. Once the Evil God's will shows the slightest movement...

Backup Plan: Alpha Protocol is activated immediately!

The backdoor program implanted within the Evil God's true body responds instantly.

At that time, the Dream descends, forcibly capturing the Evil God's will and scattering it into the endless dream dimensions! Using an endless cycle of dreams to forcibly brainwash the Evil God, any number of 'what ifs' will be reduced to zero because of this!

To this end...

Su Ming even drove the Circle of Reason to anchor an Anti-Life Equation Noose on the Evil God!

The goal is only one!

—To cut off all possibilities of the Evil God breaking free from the seal!

Chapter 273: Meeting the Ancient One! Forty-Eight Million Futures

The tidal lighthouse stands tall, and the frontline storage is in place.

The Astral Express sets sail once again!

Under Hexi's leadership, the young Angel ladies also began to carry out their journey of trailblazing!

To verify the final and most important function of the Astral Express, Hexi accompanied them.

The Silver Network extends, star rails are laid...

The navigation routes between reality and imaginary numbers are thus opened!

The Astral Express's whistle sounds, heading towards the Centauri system four light-years away.

Thanks to the successful execution of the first cross-worldview trailblazing, the Astral Express's reserve of Trailblaze Power is very abundant, and therefore...

In less than ten minutes.

The Astral Express thundered out of the imaginary number navigation route, arriving exactly at the Centauri star region.

As the star map in the cockpit lit up.

A platform appeared out of thin air.

In front of the Star Crystal console, Hexi personally pressed that sapphire blue button.

The next instant.

On the front of the Astral Express, the one main and four auxiliary Star Trailblaze Heavy Cannon Array opened up in unison!

At the same moment.

Inside Akivili's Secret Chamber.

Twelve flying star seeds sped out along pre-planned star rails, quickly sliding into the heavy cannon bays amidst bursts of roaring!

The flying star seeds, launched at the speed of light, fell into their positions one by one!

On a larger spatial scale, they forcibly unified the entire Centauri star region and linked together in the dust cloud belt on the periphery of the star system, guiding the Circle of Reason to descend upon this universe...

Five minutes later.

The Circle of Reason, spanning 2.13 light-years, stood tall. A beam of light like a Star Dragon's breath shone, its source being the tidal lighthouse that had emerged out of thin air!

Phew!—

Hexi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a gratified expression:

"See that, my little male god..."

"The Circle of Reason has successfully expanded!"

"The construction mode of the auxiliary Star Trailblaze Heavy Cannon Array has initially achieved the preset goals!"

"The cross-spacetime link between Akivili's Secret Chamber and the Circle of Reason meets expectations, and the cross-spacetime transmission protocol for the flying star seeds is functioning well."

"The tidal lighthouse has successfully reflected, and the Central Limited Star-Sea Spacetime Matrix has unfolded smoothly! —I have successfully captured that spacetime collapse effect similar to a gravitational potential well!"

A light screen unfolded out of thin air, and Su Ming gave a slight smile:

"As expected... hm, this is no different from my previous deductions! Hexi, I have nothing left to experiment with on my end; what about you?"

Hexi rested her chin on one hand, lazily crossing her legs as she sat in the conductor's seat.

"My side is much more troublesome. I need to verify different cosmic models under similar worldviews, analyze the rare mineral deposits naturally bred in this realm, and analyze the cosmic rules in this universe that are quite different from the Known Universe..."

"However..."

"The good news is that the third Astral Express is in the process of being derived..."

"The second Astral Express has also already set sail..."

"Once the snowball of development starts rolling properly, my side will... hmm..."

Hexi suddenly froze. For no other reason than she had just realized that the starry sky where Su Ming was standing had extremely subtle differences from any known star map!

But...

That starry sky image...

It was definitely Earth...

With her eye twitching slightly, Hexi said speechlessly:

"The Marvel dungeon universe? You really... can't stay idle for a moment."

Su Ming shrugged:

"There's no helping it. My path dictates that the multiverse is my stage, and different stars are the best food to help me grow quickly..."

"However..."

Su Ming turned slightly and nodded toward the nearby void in greeting, while teasing helplessly:

"However, before that, I have to reach an agreement with this realm's Sorcerer Supreme first."

Hexi's eyes flashed, a stream of data scrolling through them like a waterfall:

"Hmm, a very primitive Mirror Dimension architecture... well, are you confident?"

In the empty space five meters in front of Su Ming, the space cracked, and rainbow-like light reflected brilliantly off the shattered spatial mirrors.

Tap, tap!—

Soft but steady footsteps rang out.

A moment later.

A bald Ancient One stepped out from the Mirror Dimension.

Seeing this, Su Ming smiled and said:

"It's a bit of a hassle. As you can see, this is a Sorcerer Supreme who can move freely in a space environment!"

"However..."

"Don't worry. If it really doesn't work, the simulated clones of you and Kaisha can come and help out."

Just as Su Ming finished speaking, the Ancient One, who had stepped out, bowed in greeting and said:

"Greetings, Your Excellency. It is an honor to meet you for the first time... However, there is no need for the simulated clones of the Heavenly Base King and Holy Kaisha..."

Su Ming smiled.

Hexi, projected by starlight, was sizing up the Ancient One with great interest.

Elegant, indifferent!

Learned, humble!

Her whole body was overflowing with a pure aura like that of a worldly hermit. Hexi asked curiously:

"Interesting, you actually knew of our existence in advance through the time stone... So, this fight isn't going to happen?"

The Ancient One also bowed slightly in greeting and then stated frankly:

"The time stone can sense your presence because you have already intervened in this world..."

"As for fighting..."

"I'm sorry to disappoint Ms. Hexi..."

With a bitter smile, the Ancient One sighed with a complex expression:

"Using the Time Stone in conjunction with Kamar-Taj's time magic, I predicted forty-eight million futures. Without exception, all results led to a final outcome of failure..."

"So, I have come..."

"I have come to seek the only chance of survival!"

Su Ming was stunned and asked back with a strange expression:

"That's a bit much, isn't it? I'm not some devil... Is it worth a Sorcerer Supreme like you making such a big deal?"
