Chapter 736: Balance of All Things
Li Yang looked around and found that the situation of the observatory was much worse than when he left.
A large amount of data streams flashed in the air, showing a chaotic and disordered state.
"What happened?" Li Yang frowned and asked.
[Origin] took a deep breath and said slowly: "The situation is more serious than we thought."
"Just after you left, I found that the speed of change in the multiverse suddenly accelerated several times."
"Not only that, more universes began to show abnormalities."
Li Yang frowned: "Is it because of that mysterious existence?"
[Origin] was stunned: "You also encountered it?"
Li Yang nodded and briefly described his experience in the [Starfall] universe.
After listening to this, [Origin]'s face became more solemn: "It seems that our guess is right... those ancient beings are indeed involved."
"I also encountered a similar situation in the universe I investigated. An existence that calls itself [Balancer] is reshaping the laws of the entire universe."
Li Yang thought for a moment: "Balancer... sounds very similar to the guy I met."
"They seem to think they are maintaining a certain balance, but in fact they are destroying the order of the entire multiverse."
[Origin] nodded: "Yes, and what's worse is that their actions seem to have triggered a chain reaction."
"Now, more and more universes are beginning to collapse or reorganize."
"If this trend continues, I'm afraid that the entire multiverse system built by me may be in danger of destruction."
Li Yang was silent for a moment, then asked: "What should we do now? Stop them directly?"
[Origin] shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. The power of those beings is far beyond our imagination."
"Even if we join forces, it will be difficult to compete with them."
Li Yang sneered: "Then watch them destroy everything?"
[Origin] sighed: "Of course not. We need to find a way to stop them, but we can't confront them head-on."
"We need more information to understand their purpose and weaknesses."
Li Yang nodded: "Okay, that makes sense, so what should we do next?"
[Origin] thought for a while, then said: "I have an idea, but it may be a bit risky."
"We can try to enter a collapsing universe and observe the whole process."
"In this way, we may be able to find some key information."
Li Yang nodded slightly: "It sounds like It's good, at least it's much better than our single-handed efforts just now. "
[Origin] smiled slightly: "Indeed... But this operation is still very dangerous. "
"Once that universe collapses completely, we may be involved in it. "
Li Yang shrugged: "Anyway, I'm free, why not give it a try. "
"Besides, with my ability, you don't have to worry too much about these. "
[Origin] shook his head helplessly: "Your attitude always makes me worry and admire. "
"But in this case, let's start preparing. "
The two quickly began to prepare for the action.
[Origin] used the data from the observatory to select a universe that was about to collapse as a target.
At the same time, Li Yang was also adjusting his abilities to deal with various situations that might be encountered.
When everything was ready, [Origin] said seriously: "Remember, no matter what happens, we must keep in touch. "
"If the situation is critical, evacuate immediately. "
Li Yang nodded: "Don't worry, I will be careful. "
Then, the two stepped into the collapsing universe at the same time.
The scene in front of me was shocking.
The entire universe seemed like a canvas being torn apart, with cracks and distorted space everywhere.
Various strange energies were raging in the air, and from time to time entire galaxies were swallowed up or shattered.
"It's really spectacular..." Li Yang couldn't help but sigh.
[Origin] seemed particularly cautious: "Be careful, there may be dangers hidden everywhere here."
The two carefully explored this collapsing universe, collecting various data and information.
Suddenly, Li Yang noticed a strange energy fluctuation in the distance.
"There seems to be something over there..." Li Yang pointed in that direction and said.
[Origin] observed carefully for a while, and his face suddenly became extremely solemn: "No, that is..."
Before the voice fell, a huge energy fluctuation suddenly swept over.
Li Yang and [Origin] were instantly dispersed by this force, and each was involved in different space cracks.
When Li Yang regained consciousness again, he found himself in a strange space.
There are no stars, no matter, only endless nothingness and some floating energy fragments.
"Is this... the gap between universes?" Li Yang muttered to himself.
Just then, he heard a familiar voice: "Sure enough, you are here after all."
Li Yang turned around and saw that it was the mysterious existence he met in the [Starfall] universe.
"Is it you?" Li Yang said vigilantly, "Why are you here?"
The existence shook his head gently: "No, the question should be, why are you here."
"This is the intersection of many universes, and it is also the starting point for us to balance it."
Li Yang sneered: "Balance? You call that balance? You are clearly destroying everything!"
The being seemed a little confused: "Destruction? No, you still don't understand."
"Everything we do is to maintain balance in the universe."
"When certain universes become too powerful or too weak, it's up to us to regulate them."
Li Yang laughed angrily: "Then have you ever considered the lives in the universe? Should they be sacrificed for your so-called balance?"
The being was silent for a moment, and then said: "Individual life is insignificant in front of the cycle of the universe... Sacrifice is necessary for a greater goal."
"This is how the universe works."
Li Yang was about to retort when he suddenly felt a powerful aura approaching.
Then, he saw [Origin] coming out of another space crack.
"Li Yang, are you okay?" [Origin] asked with concern.
Li Yang shook his head: "I'm fine. But..."
He pointed at the mysterious being and said, "It seems we are in trouble."
[Origin] After seeing the situation in front of him clearly, his expression became extremely solemn.
"You are the so-called 'equalizer'." [Origin] said in a deep voice.
The being nodded slightly: "That's right. It seems that you already know about our existence."
[Origin] took a deep breath and said slowly: "Why do you do this? You should understand that doing so will lead to the collapse of the entire multiverse."
The being replied calmly: "Collapse is just the beginning. After destruction, a new order will be born."
"This is the cycle of the multiverse. We're just accelerating the process."
Li Yang couldn't help but interjected: "Then why do you decide this cycle? Who gave you the power?"
The being seemed confused: "Power? We don't need anyone's authorization."
"The meaning of our existence is to maintain the balance of this world... This is our mission and our instinct."
