Chapter 870: See Through at a Glance

Li Yang stared at the man in black robes, feeling an uncontrollable uneasiness in his heart.

"What does it mean [someone must fall into Chaos]?" 1 he asked,

"Who are you anyway?"

The man in black robe slowly raised his hand and pointed at the burning red light in the sky:

"Did you see that? That's a sign that the world's [boundary membrane] is collapsing."

"Actually... this isn't the first time."

"In countless reincarnations, the world will face the same ending."

"Chaos will continue to erode reality until everything returns to nothingness."

"And this process..." His voice suddenly became sad,

"It never really stops."

Chang Sheng thoughtfully said: "You mean..."

"The disaster that was prevented back then was actually only temporary?"

"That's right." The man in black robe nodded.

"That's just delaying the inevitable."

"It's like using a dam to block floods. The day will eventually break."

"unless..."

At this point, he suddenly paused.

But the deacon took over: "Unless someone takes the initiative to accept the power of chaos."

"Through [resonance], a balance is established between reality and chaos."

"That's why we 'fallen' are needed."

Li Yang frowned: "Is this what you are doing?"

"Turning innocent people into monsters?"

The man in black robe shook his head: "It's not about turning into a monster..."

"But evolution."

"Only by embracing chaos can humans transcend their limitations."

"The possibility of survival in the new world."

"Fart!" Li Yan couldn't help shouting angrily,

"Does this crazy fallacy deserve to be called evolution?"

The man in black robe seemed not to hear his roar and continued:

"You should have felt it..."

"My own power is gradually changing."

This sentence stunned everyone.

Indeed...they have all noticed something unusual recently.

Whether it's Li Yang's power of the mountain spirit or the immortality's purification technique.

It seems that some kind of changes are happening subtly.

Becoming more...deep.

More...elusive.

"This is the beginning of resonance." The man in black robe said,

"Your power is resonating with chaos."

"This process cannot be reversed and cannot be stopped."

"Because it is the will of the world."

"It's [survival] instinct."

Changsheng suddenly thought of something: "Wait..."

"You mean...those seals back then..."

"Isn't it actually used to block Chaos?"

The man in black robe nodded slightly:

"The real function of the seal is to control the process of resonance."

"Maintain a delicate balance between reality and chaos."

"But now..." He pointed to the sky,

"The balance has been upset."

Before he finished speaking, there was another violent vibration.

The mountains in the distance began to collapse, and huge gaps opened in the earth.

Countless black energy surged out from the ground and rushed into the sky.

"Time is running out..." the man in black robe said,

"You have to make a choice."

"It's about continuing to stick to those unnecessary boundaries..."

"Or accept true power?"

Li Yang held the mountain spirit staff tightly: "You are wrong."

"True power is never obtained by falling."

The man in black robe sighed: "You still don't understand..."

"This world has already..."

Before he finished speaking, a sudden change occurred!

Suddenly, the red light in the sky skyrocketed, like a blood moon hanging overhead.

The entire world was shrouded in a strange crimson light.

The man in black robe's words stopped abruptly. He looked up to the sky, with a hint of surprise in his voice:

"It came sooner than expected..."

At this moment, Li Yang felt a severe dizziness.

The power within his body surged as if out of control, and the mountain spirit staff began to emit a strange resonance.

Not only him, but everyone else also showed pain.

Only the deacon who turned into a monster seemed extremely excited.

"Do you feel it?" the deacon said with a wild smile.

"This is the pulse of the world! The whisper of Chaos!"

Changsheng struggled to maintain his balance and said:

"It feels... like the whole reality is being distorted..."

The man in black robe nodded:

"The membrane has begun to collapse, and soon, chaos will completely penetrate this world."

"And your choice..." his voice became serious, "will determine everything."

Li Yang endured the discomfort, grinned, and stared at the man in black robe:

"Do you think this little clever trick will be useful to us?"

Yan Yue next to her coughed slightly, straightened up, and shouted sternly:

"Even if the whole world falls into chaos, we will never give up!"

The man in black robe was silent for a moment, then suddenly chuckled:

"What a nostalgic stubbornness..."

He slowly raised his right hand and spread his fingers. In an instant, the space seemed to be distorted by invisible force, forming a mirror-like barrier.

"Then..." his tone became deeper, "let me tell you the final truth."

Pictures began to appear in the mirror:

An ancient civilization once reached its ultimate glory.

They mastered the power to transform reality and created amazing miracles.

But one day, they touched the edge of the world.

There is an existence beyond understanding, the source of chaos...

"Civilization was eventually destroyed by its own arrogance..." said the man in black robe, slowly taking off his hood.

"And I..."

Everyone gasped.

The man under the hood looked like Li Yang!

But compared to everyone's impression of Li Yang, he looked older, and his eyes were full of unimaginable vicissitudes and fatigue.

"Look... I am you who have experienced countless reincarnations." He said.

"You don't understand what I've been through..."

"After every attempt came to nothing, I would go back to the past and try to find new possibilities."

"But in the end I found..." His voice was full of helplessness,

"Perhaps depravity is the only way out."

Li Yang frowned and murmured:

"Are you... kidding?"

The man in black robe shook his head slowly, his face serious:

"You know very well that this is the truth."

"Those familiar feelings, those inexplicable premonitions..."

"It's all because you have experienced similar scenes countless times."

"It's just that every time... "His eyes became sad,

"You all chose the same path."

"Then watch the world being destroyed again and again."

The deacon laughed strangely: "How ironic..."

"The hero who protects the world will eventually push the world to destruction with his own hands."

Li Yang slowly raised his head, looked at the face that was very similar to his own, and said:

"I can be sure that you can say such words. "

"You can be anyone, but you can never be me."

"Because you don't know what kind of existence I am."

These words made Yan Yue and others beside him stunned.

After all, no one among the people present knew.

Li Yang was not a person of this era at all.
