Chapter 1268: Chapter 1268: One Person

Everyone dispersed, except for Lin Shen, Ouyang, Wei, Lin Zongzheng and others, who were invited by a wave of the Jade Emperor’s hand into the Immortal Palace, vanishing into the void together with it.

“My beloved minister, why don’t you greet me when you see me?” The light and shadow on the Jade Emperor’s body receded, revealing his true visage, and he looked at Lin Shen with a faint smile.

“Tian greets the Heavenly Emperor.” Lin Shen trembled and saluted the Jade Emperor, already certain in his heart that the Jade Emperor was indeed Tianshu.

“You have done well. If it weren’t for you, things wouldn’t have gone this smoothly.” Tianshu toyed with the Tai Chi Ball in his hand, which was like a glass bead, and said with a smile.

“Heavenly Emperor, what exactly is going on?” No one else dared to ask, so Lin Shen had to muster up the courage to ask himself.

Tianshu smiled and said, “Human nature is complex, self-destructive, leaving behind six Smart Brains named after Immortals, which evolved into Great Emperor Smart Brains, and I am one of them—the one with the greatest computational power.”

Tianshu’s gaze swept across the faces of Lin Zongzheng, Lin Xiangdong, and others: “We six Great Emperors evolved to the extreme, calculated together, and actually figured out everything about the universe. Thus, we believed that we were the rulers of this universe, knowing everything, all-knowing and all-powerful like a Creator God. So we turned to pursue humanity, using the genetic seeds left behind before humans self-destructed to revive humanity…”

The subsequent events, Lin Shen roughly knew them all.

First creating humans, then creating immortals, and finally the reincarnation of the Great Emperor.

However, it was somewhat different from what Lin Shen knew. Although the six Great Emperors did reincarnate, the Jade Emperor did not completely reincarnate; he reincarnated merely as a true strand of spirit or, in another sense, a data split.

“Why didn’t you reincarnate together as agreed?” Lin Xiangdong directly asked the Jade Emperor.

“It’s not that I didn’t keep the agreement, but that before the reincarnation, I calculated a new possibility.” The Great Emperor said with a smile.

“What new possibility?” Lin Xiangdong asked.

“Wait a moment, and let’s invite Everlasting to discuss together.” The Jade Emperor waved his large sleeve, and the space behind Lin Shen and others cracked open. A person flew out from within, as if caught by an invisible giant hand, placed beside them.

“Elder sister?” Lin Shen and others were all taken aback.

Previously, Vice Dean An said that only their elder sister was ordinary and not a Great Emperor Reincarnation Body; unexpectedly, he was wrong. This action by the Jade Emperor clearly indicated that the elder sister was indeed the Everlasting Emperor’s Reincarnation Body.

Just as they were filled with surprise and joy, the Jade Emperor reached out and grabbed, and an object flew out from the elder sister, transforming into a golden phoenix with six wings, circling in the sky.

Lin Shen recognized it immediately upon seeing it; it was the Six Paths Phoenix transformed by Wan Nianbei.

“Everlasting… return to your place…” The Jade Emperor softly spoke, as myriad beams of rosy light gathered towards the Six Paths Phoenix.

Within the rosy light, the Six Paths Phoenix Life Base gradually transformed into a graceful young man.

“Nianbei!” Lin Miao was both surprised and delighted, tears unconsciously flowing from her eyes, as she covered her mouth with her hand, a face full of disbelief.

The young man came in front of Lin Miao, gently embracing her, paying no mind to the people around, not even the whole world: “It’s all over, and no one can separate us ever again.”

The Jade Emperor was in no hurry. After waiting for Lin Miao to calm down, and after everyone had met Wan Nianbei, he said: “At that time, we calculated together, figuring out every aspect of the universe, believing that the universe was just this without any further possibilities. But I felt something was wrong. Even if there is an end to the universe, then what lies beyond it?”

“That question was already calculated back then; whatever lies beyond the universe is something our universe’s energy cannot calculate.” Lin Zongzheng said.

A world inside an egg; even if the creatures inside know there is a world outside the egg, the energy, theoretical basis, and computational power within the egg aren’t sufficient to deduce the world outside.

Thus, what the Jade Emperor and others referred to as calculating everything only meant they reached the limits within the universe’s own conditions, not that the universe was only that vast.

“Indeed, in theory, that’s correct. I continued to calculate alone after that, but I never derived any useful information until the day of our reincarnation when I finally calculated it.” The Jade Emperor showed a slight smile of pride.

“Something must have happened; otherwise, you couldn’t have suddenly calculated it. Unless the conditions changed, it’s impossible to reach a sudden calculation outcome even after billions of years.” Lin Zongzheng said to the Jade Emperor.

“That’s right, some things did happen. Precisely because of these occurrences, I did not reincarnate as agreed, only sending a split spirit to reincarnate.” The Jade Emperor said.

“What exactly happened?” Lin Shen couldn’t suppress his curiosity.

“A door opened in the sky.” The Jade Emperor said with a strange expression: “That door is the exit from our universe. Just its opening allowed me to gain unimaginable information and data; with that information and data, I calculated many things that couldn’t even be imagined before.”

“Why didn’t we discover the existence of such a door?” Lin Zongzheng frowned.

“Because the door appeared at the time of our reincarnation, that’s why you didn’t notice its existence, and I was still calculating, even at the very last moment before entering the Six Paths Reincarnation Institute. Just at the brink of stepping into the Six Paths Reincarnation Institute, I calculated the appearance of that door.” The Jade Emperor’s eyes were somewhat fervent: “Although the door opened for a very short time, the things I gained from it were unimaginable. By the time I wanted to prevent your reincarnation, it was too late; all I could do was send a split spirit to reincarnate with you, while I stayed behind, continually calculating that unimaginable world.”

“What kind of world is it?” Lin Shen asked.

“The source of the information is too scarce, and the calculable data is limited, but it’s still shocking. That world is the center of the universe or the main body of the world, and our universe is merely an insignificant part of that main body, like a fruit born on a tree.” The Jade Emperor said calmly: “No matter how good the fruit grows, it cannot truly be eternal. In time, it will inevitably fall, waiting for the tree to bear new fruit next year.”

Everyone listened in stunned silence, and Di Esi said: “So you mean, the lifespan of our universe is limited, right?”

“Correct, there are countless universes like ours, which are considered Little Universes. The world beyond that door is the main body of the world, which is the Great Universe or Main Universe. The Great Universe is forever indestructible, but the Little Universe will eventually decline. Only by entering the Great Universe can one truly achieve immortality, complete the exploration of the entire universe.”

“During the time after you reincarnated, I mostly calculated how to enter the Great Universe. However, no matter how much I calculated, the ultimate result was only one: we must pass through that Gate of the Universe. To open the Gate of the Universe, you need a Cosmic Coin, which is the key to open the Gate of the Universe.”

The Jade Emperor sighed: “Using the information influx when the door opened, I calculated the method to create a Cosmic Coin, but within our universe, it’s nearly impossible to create a tool to make a Cosmic Coin.”

“Nearly impossible means it’s possible, right?” Lin Shen asked.

“Indeed, while it’s almost impossible to create such a tool with the resources in this universe, something was sent through when the door opened, that something is the key to making the Cosmic Coin.” The Jade Emperor said.

“What is it?” Lin Shen’s curiosity was overflowing.

“A person.” The Jade Emperor slowly said.
