The Primordial Heavenly Lord, thinking it impossible to kill physically, chose the method of burying the Outer God along with the world itself where it was.
Even if this world disappears, the original world remains safe. Then they can start again there. After all, immortals and Taoists are all people who lived in that world.
The Primordial Heavenly Lord, who had expected this from the beginning, used the immortal realm’s final device that operates in conjunction with this extreme gravity field.
Not concentrated in some areas, but to pull the entire Kunlun.
The enormous gravity compressed the celestial realm named Kunlun.
But, while all particles were falling into a single point, he witnessed an extremely ominous smile.
Still, there’s nothing more he can do.
He’s already done his best.
There was nothing more he could do in this world that was becoming a single dough.
Originally a device prepared in case several beings like the Great Kraken invaded, but thinking he didn’t know he’d use it on just one opponent, the Primordial Heavenly Lord waited for his own death.
Suddenly an eerie sensation covered the Primordial Heavenly Lord.
An ominousness like coldness rising from the spine.
He quickly examined the protective suit being destroyed by the tidal forces of gravity pulling into a single point.
Vital signs are still fine.
There are several windows showing errors, but most are windows saying the body is in danger due to the world collapsing and should be avoided.
But among them, one.
There’s a window that shouldn’t appear yet.
Soul.
Various numbers turned red displaying impossible figures. Before understanding what that meant.
His soul screamed, and his body twisted.
* * *
I didn’t expect he would try to bury me along with the world called Kunlun.
Thanks to that, I touched him and licked his light.
I obtained it quickly because the light was small. I thought it would take a long time like the Great Kraken because there were many memories, but the memories came in immediately.
I thought it took a long time to cover the Great Kraken because of the amount of memories, but it was just that the Great Kraken’s light was too big so digestion was slow.
As soon as I stole the Primordial Heavenly Lord’s warmth, the light turned black and shrank, and the body forgot its shape and grew haphazardly.
This is the appearance that always occurs when I steal the warmth of an opponent who attacked me.
There’s nothing particularly different about immortals.
I examined the most valuable thing I obtained in the second world.
There are many techniques that could be called Taoist punk if given a name. Techniques that don’t require special qualifications for the user.
Such general-purpose techniques will be helpful to me in the future. Especially among them, I like the technique for moving to other worlds.
However…
After all, memories are just memories.
To use this technique, I need smart harvesters. The fortunate thing is that unlike the Great Kraken’s techniques which require someone special, this can be passed down through generations.
There’s plenty of time.
And since they become smart when made into harvesters, I can use it as much as I want. Many worlds are now open before me.
I can cross countless worlds without having to go down.
Hehe.
I’m satisfied with achieving the most important goal.
But there’s also something unsatisfying.
I thought I could use all the byproducts with the Primordial Heavenly Lord’s memories, but the point that it will take time to get used to even though the manual is in my hands.
If you’re going to do it, make it a little simpler.
Now, in this situation, it seems like all of Kunlun itself will disappear before I can use that thing.
No.
If time is needed, I can extend time.
To stop this world from disappearing, I forcibly pressed down on it while drawing intact reality.
Crash!
But instead of stopping, a large part of the glass bottle broke, revealing pitch-black darkness. A vast empty void.
But that’s not all there is. Between the darkness outside revealed as the broken area grew larger, light is sparkling.
As the amount of light around decreases, a scene like a starry night sky appears.
There wasn’t an ocean outside.
No, when riding on a victim’s body like this, I’m not below. Yes.
I vaguely know that if I go out there with a bare body, I’ll just fall down there.
The Primordial Heavenly Lord’s light, which had turned black and shriveled, scattered as dust beyond there.
Like a space station falling to the ground in some movie, everywhere is breaking a little, and the world is gathering into a single point while sinking down at the same time.
Hmm.
Come to think of it, on the day the first world perished.
When I watched from below the water surface, living creatures fell from above to below.
I thought the ground cracked and fell underground because rocks were mixed in, but.
Looking at the memories just before going crazy from the heat, it seems they weren’t rocks but similarly-shaped creatures.
Camouflage is a common technique.
In other words, only those alive, only those with light fell to where I was.
Does that mean living beings can go down?
We’re going down to the bottom.
Soon we’re returning to that place below. Where we can do nothing but look up at the night sky. But at the same time, there’s a black dot in front of my eyes, and beside me is the Primordial Heavenly Lord who has become a lump of meat.
I stretched out my arm and grabbed the lump of meat.
The speed of shrinking has decreased a lot, so I wonder if trying to stop the black dot earlier wasn’t completely ineffective.
But space itself is still being sucked in, so it seems like it will become a single point someday.
Excavating the Primordial Heavenly Lord’s memories, this black dot is not a simple black hole but a trap made to kill immortals like the Great Kraken.
Gathering and compressing the immortal realm itself into a single point to make it disappear from this world.
The Taiji Diagram treasure was an object that came out while making this technique.
The Taiji Diagram simply focused on physical force, and what I’m suffering now was made so that it can’t be escaped even using immortal power.
So it seems I can’t easily twist it.
When I grab the twisted meat, the squishy lump of meat burrows into Choseol’s body like cancer cells. Come to think of it, is there no way to resist when attacked by a lump of meat that has lost its soul?
“Zzzzt… Lord! Zzzzzzt… venly… zzzzt… you the-zzzzzt…”
While pondering what to do, a voice calling for the Primordial Heavenly Lord comes from somewhere along with crackling noise.
Looking towards where the sound is coming from, I see clothes between swollen lumps of flesh.
It looked like simple clothes, but searching the Primordial Heavenly Lord’s memories, they were clothes with cutting-edge technology built in.
I reached for those clothes.
The clothes have a window displaying the wearer’s status. Comparing one by one with the Primordial Heavenly Lord’s memories, very strange figures are coming out, but it shows there is a life response.
Life response.
Aha. If the Primordial Heavenly Lord is alive, will he come over from there to here?
Since he’s good, he’ll come to save.
If, before this broken world falls to where I am, I can cross over there?
Without needing to wait for someone to pull me up from somewhere, I can move right away.
Although it’s annoying that it keeps sticking to my body and burrowing in, I tore the parts I could tear with force, and shoved the part with sensors into my chest.
It properly recognizes the heartbeat.
“Hea, zzzz… Lord! Ali, zzzzt, ve!”
And where was it? There was that attached to the clothes. A pager to send rescue signals.
I calmly searched through the messed up clothes and reached out to pull the device to send a rescue signal. The wire touched my fingertips. The device works by pulling a wire on one side of the clothes.
No, I tried to pull.
My fingers won’t move.
It’s an object that automatically sends a signal when grabbed and pulled, so I just need to be able to hook it with my fingers, but it seems this lump of meat’s flesh has burrowed in too much.
There’s no sensation in my hand.
Then I can bite and pull it with my mouth.
If I go to that world with this body as it is, I can return. I can pretend to be a corpse for a while, then wake up and go somewhere else.
Moreover, I already have a place to go.
The imperial palace.
Even if I’ve become half an enemy, if I go there, they’ll tell me to make harvesters by sealing or torturing.
That’s enough. I’m satisfied as long as harvesters increase.
Hehe.
Thinking that, I put my face forward, but a head with barely a trace of a face left stretched out long and blocked the way in front.
In one of the two eye sockets, something like a heart is beating instead of an eyeball, while the cloudy white eyeball on the opposite side isn’t focusing properly.
Thinking it might be a coincidence, I lowered my head, but that head follows exactly the same. Finding it strange, I examine and see a red eyeball grown from where the nose originally was staring straight at me.
A lump of meat becoming a monster after light has fallen off.
It should have had nothing but warmth left in its head, going crazy from the cold.
But there’s clearly consciousness.
It’s too messed up to read emotions, but I’m not so stupid that I can’t read the will in its gaze.
“Cold, isn’t it?”
There’s no answer.
Tuk
No. There was an answer.
A long arm that wasn’t originally on the body, and teeth instead of fingers at its end cut the string so the rescue signal couldn’t be sent.
Zzzt.
And as if it had destroyed where the power device was, not only the sound but also the windows floating around the clothes completely disappeared.
Indeed.
You’re saying you resist even in a situation where you’ve lost light and had warmth stolen.
At this rate, this small world will become a single point and disappear, or arrive at the place where I should be.
I looked at the place where there was a door leading to the outside of Kunlun.
Now there’s only rock vapor left there instead of a door.
Tuk.
At that moment, cells that had burrowed into my body completely tore off my arm.
But it doesn’t particularly hurt. I just know that the Primordial Heavenly Lord is resisting hard. Yes. Resistance. You don’t give up even in that state, is that it?
“Primordial Heavenly Lord. It’s your victory.”
Of course, Sa Mabaek is still grinding his teeth and preparing for revenge, but.
It seems unlikely that I’ll return to the second world again.
I watch the world being driven to the bottom.
A world that seems like it will disappear before reaching the bottom.
I don’t want to see the Primordial Heavenly Lord just happily dying with an expression of having accomplished everything like this. That annoying sneer is enough once.
I stretched my remaining arm towards the point sucking everything in. And I carefully pushed myself in and grasped reality.
And I twist it.
Crack.
The single point stopped like a frozen apple, then shattered into pieces and disappeared. At the same time, the place where we are now solidified.
Of course, it’s impossible to escape like this.
Even in that state, I want to show the Primordial Heavenly Lord who says through actions that I’m wrong the world I feel.
“Hold tight. From now on, we’ll sail on this ship to the bottom where I was stagnant.”
In other words, it’s called sinking.
We’ll soon arrive at the place where I am. Of course, even if we go down, we’re not physically going down in the world where people are. It’s just that place suddenly changing to the bottom.
But in the world where there’s light and darkness and the sea that is me, there’s up and down.
I’m below.
You’re above.
“Now we’re arriving at the place where I was stagnant. Be careful not to have any past to reminisce about when you arrive.”
“Three.”
“Two.”
“One.”
We broke through the water surface.
At the same time, I escaped from the vessel called Choseol and returned below the water surface.
This time too, something alive is in this place. But if you ask if that’s the Primordial Heavenly Lord who fell with me, it doesn’t seem so.
It’s just not anywhere in this world.
Whether he escaped, or just disappeared because there’s no light.
I look at something biting me, then crush and erase it and look up.
Far away.
In a very high place.
The second world, which looks like a single light even though countless lights are gathered, sparkles in the distance.
