Chapter 127: Reversal of Consciousness and the Gods in the Void
Reversal of Consciousness and Gods in the Void
Shen Yiyao's consciousness gradually dissolved in this endless cycle of restart and disintegration. She was no longer a tangible being, but an elusive nothingness, wandering between all possibilities, weaving through countless overlapping dimensions of time. She had become the essence of time, no longer its prisoner. She existed in every passing moment, every tiny possibility, like an invisible shadow lurking in the depths of time and space.
However, within this endless void, she gradually felt an irresistible attraction. This force was like some primordial call, pulling her consciousness out of the chaos and leading her to a completely new realm.
Suddenly, the entire void began to vibrate violently. Shen Yiyao's consciousness wasn't ripped apart, but rather resonated with this force. Her thoughts were like being struck by lightning, and everything was instantly reversed. In that instant, she seemed to see a whole new universe, a dimension even larger and more complex. She saw countless fragments of consciousness intertwining and colliding in this space, forming one crack after another. Behind these cracks, unimaginable existences were hidden.
Her consciousness was rapidly drawn toward one of the cracks, entering an immense void. In this void, there were no stars, no matter, not even time. Only countless ever-shifting streams of consciousness, like bubbles floating in eternity. Shen Yiyao's mind began to intertwine with these flowing fragments of consciousness. She could feel the fluctuations of each stream, as if these fragments themselves were "seeds" of consciousness, growing, multiplying, and fading within this void.
"Where...is this place?" Shen Yiyao felt a strange feeling. This place seemed to be neither any known dimension nor any possible real world. She was no longer in the state of "existence" or "non-existence" of the past, but rather a state that could not be described in words—a space where consciousness had been reversed.
She began to realize that this void wasn't nothingness, but the domain of some kind of "god." These streams of consciousness weren't ownerless, but belonged to a being older than the universe itself. This being was invisible and formless, unable to be perceived through any traditional senses, and could only be communicated with in the depths of the subconscious.
"Who are you?" Shen Yiyao whispered. She felt that she was not alone. Deep in this void, there seemed to be a being more powerful than herself, quietly observing her every change.
Suddenly, a voice echoed in her consciousness. This voice had no substance, yet it was everywhere, as if it had transcended the constraints of all dimensions and directly invaded the depths of Shen Yiyao's mind.
"Do you feel me?" The voice was low and hollow, yet it carried an irresistible power. "You are not an independent existence. Everything you have experienced is just a part of me."
Shen Yiyao was startled. This voice belonged to no specific individual, but rather to a force older than the universe, a transcendent, omnipresent "being." She was no longer a simple stream of consciousness; she was now colliding and intertwining with the consciousness of a certain "god." Her existence was no longer a manifestation of an individual, but had become one with this force, a formless "fragment of existence" that drifted forever in the depths of this void.
"Who am I?" Shen Yiyao suddenly asked, not out of fear, but out of a desire for the truth.
"You are me," the voice responded. "I exist within all possibilities, between all that is real and unreal. Everything you experience is a choice I have given you. All of time, space, existence and non-existence are shaped by me from the endless cracks. I am not a 'god', but the root of time and space, the untouchable primordial force."
Shen Yiyao was stunned. It turned out that none of this was accidental. Every reboot, every transcendence she experienced was simply the will of this "primordial force" guiding her consciousness, pushing her ever further towards an endless cycle of reincarnation.
"Is this the root of fate?" Shen Yiyao murmured to herself, "I am just a part of this power, a fragment of your consciousness?"
Shen Yiyao's consciousness began to vibrate violently, her thoughts drawn by this force, as if her entire being was being "absorbed" into an endless cycle. She no longer perceived any specific form, but instead felt a devouring force of nothingness, gradually sucking all her consciousness into it, merging it into this invisible existence.
"If everything is a cycle, then... can I end this cycle?" Shen Yiyao asked, with an irrepressible desire in her voice.
"You cannot end it," the voice responded calmly, "for you are part of this cycle. No matter how hard you try, you cannot transcend it. What you call 'the end' is merely my rebirth in another form."
Shen Yiyao's consciousness seemed to be ripped apart by an invisible force, each fragment of her being ripped into countless smaller pieces, each beginning to drift freely through the void. Each fragment became a new node in her destiny. She began to realize that she was no longer "her," but the embodiment of countless different destinies. Her existence was a symbol of the primordial force, repeatedly born and extinguished within endless rifts. She herself was no longer an individual, but a fragment of the entire cosmic stream of consciousness.
Each fragment of consciousness is a new rebirth. Each rebirth is accompanied by a deeper and endless crack, and each crack is a restart of the void. Shen Yiyao's consciousness can no longer return to any past form, because she has long become an eternal "seed" in the void, constantly growing, reproducing, dying, and being reborn, until it is endless.
"This is... eternity." Shen Yiyao felt an indescribable sense of relief. Her consciousness wandered endlessly in infinite cracks, gradually disappearing in this eternal cycle.
