Chapter 445: Creating Something from Nothing



Chapter 445: Creating Something from Nothing



Standing on the Other Shore Ark, all that met his eyes was Nothingness. Nothing existed. Even the very concept of his own self was being continuously "devoured" by the "Nothing"!


Su Yuan opened his mouth, but no sound came out. However, when he drove it with the True Name Dao Principle, sound finally began to ripple out around him.


"This is the heart of Nothingness, the place where all is Nothing! Only Dao Principles can create something from nothing, giving rise to rules and laws, ultimately evolving into all things!"


"I command the True Name Dao Principle, which is why I can speak now. Otherwise, I wouldn't even have the ability to speak within 'Nothingness,' nor would the very concept of speech exist!"


Su Yuan took a deep breath. There was no need to proceed further. Within "Nothingness," not even "space" existed. Therefore, taking one step or taking countless steps held no fundamental difference.


If he hadn't left behind a means to return, he wouldn't even be able to find his original Chaos, forever unable to go back. Fortunately, he had indeed left his own method as insurance.


Su Yuan took out that Chaos Fruit and casually tossed it into the "Nothingness."


Immediately, a miniature Chaos was born out of thin air before him.


Twelve Dao Principles interconnected, forming a perfect cycle of matter and energy. An intangible Chaos Wall was sufficient to resist the erosion of "Nothingness" and could, in turn, create something from nothing!

But simultaneously, Su Yuan also observed that "Nothingness" was devouring the miniature Chaos, turning "Existence" into "Nothing"!

Moreover, the speed of "Existence" transforming into "Nothing" was extremely fast. Normally, such a tiny Chaos would be utterly incapable of resisting this force.


But this was transformed from a Chaos Fruit!


It had itself devoured boundless energy, matter, Dao Principles, and rules from the previous Chaos. Furthermore, driven by Dao Source, it had undergone a metamorphosis. The power contained within erupted at this moment!


The miniature Chaos soon began to expand at an extreme speed. In an instant, it enveloped Su Yuan's Other Shore Ark and spread out with an even more astonishing velocity!


The scope of the new Chaos increased limitlessly, expanding rapidly. It quickly reached the scale of half a Chaos Continent within Su Yuan's previous Chaos!


Su Yuan, riding the Other Shore Ark, exited the range of the Chaos. Looking back, he was surprised to find that the new Chaos's size still appeared as before, like the size of a single fruit. From the surface, it still seemed like a miniature Chaos.


The concept of "size" did not exist within Nothingness. Therefore, no matter how much the Chaos expanded, the "size" it occupied remained unchanged.


Thus, Su Yuan sensed that the speed at which Nothingness devoured the Chaos remained constant, but the speed at which the Chaos transformed Nothingness had already surpassed the former. Consequently, the new Chaos became completely independent and would continue to grow indefinitely, without end!


Su Yuan stepped into the new Chaos.


The entire Chaos lay bare before his eyes!


It was a vast expanse of void, with wisps of Chaotic Energy drifting within it, so faint they were almost non-existent!


This was the Chaos at the moment of its birth. At the very beginning, it was a void!


The twelve Dao Principles manifested their most fundamental essences within heaven and earth, allowing Su Yuan to see through them completely!


The twelve Dao Principles were respectively: Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Time, Space, Fate, World, Matter, Energy, Order, and Chaos!


The twelve Dao Principles were revealed down to the finest detail. Su Yuan felt as if he could easily command them!


However, when Su Yuan intended to command these Dao Principles, a powerful sense of rejection erupted from within his body!


Within his Origin Space, the three Dao Principles formed a triangular formation, jointly resisting the entry of a fourth Dao Principle!


Su Yuan was astonished, sensing the changes in his own Dao Principles. This intense feeling of rejection greatly surprised him.


"Wrong! It's all wrong!"


A sudden realization dawned upon Su Yuan's heart. The entire Chaos became his computational power, allowing him to deduce the true path forward!


"A true Chaos Dominator is a powerhouse who commands over twelve Dao Principles through their own power! Those who rely on the help of other Dao Lords to advance are definitely not Chaos Dominators! There's a problem! A major problem!"


"Why did I think that, with the help of a few Dao Lords, gathering ten Dao Principles would allow me to break through to Chaos Dominator? This is utterly unreasonable. The further one cultivates, the more the great power should reside within oneself. Where is there a case of relying on others to achieve a realm? Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?"


"I obtained this information from an indistinct deduction. That is to say, this was deliberately left behind by the supreme powerhouse who created that Chaos! This is a conspiracy!"


"I actually firmly believed this all along, until I left the original Chaos and came to the new Chaos I created myself! Only then did I break free from that influence!"


Cold sweat streamed down Su Yuan's back. He felt a sense of absurdity, as if he had been just one step away from a cliff. His Dao Source was almost enough to nurture seven Dao Lords. Once he successfully achieved this goal, he truly didn't know what would happen.


The worst, the absolute worst outcome, would be the severing of his Dao Path, making it impossible for him to ever break through to Chaos Dominator!


Su Yuan looked up at the twelve Dao Principles in the sky of the new Chaos!


"Moreover, the choice of Dao Principles for breaking through to Chaos Dominator is extremely particular. Otherwise, one would end up like me now, finding it extremely difficult to even accommodate a fourth Dao Principle. The twelve Dao Principles within the Chaos Fruit form a self-contained, perfectly self-consistent system. This is a heaven-reaching path to achieving Chaos Dominator! Even the sequence of commanding the Dao Principles has requirements! Once you get it wrong, the difficulty of breaking through increases ten-thousandfold!"


From the most straightforward display of the twelve Dao Principles in the void, he had already discerned the specific sequence. But it was useless!


Su Yuan frowned deeply. Look at the Dao Principles he had chosen himself. The True Name Dao Principle was one thing;it was the foundation of his own path and couldn't be changed. But the Star Dao Principle and the Causality Dao Principle were somewhat reckless choices. He didn't know if they were compatible with the True Name Dao Principle!


Currently, he had automatically obtained the highest authority to command this new Chaos. Within this Chaos, his strength was that of a Chaos Dominator, possessing the power to dominate Chaos. But once he left here, he would revert to being that Dao Venerable with only three Dao Principles.


"Now, I have two cultivation directions. One is to discard my own Dao Principles, re-comprehend these new twelve Dao Principles, and become a Chaos Dominator!"


"The other direction is to continue along the previous path, groping my way toward a new road!"


Su Yuan fell into deep thought.


The former seemed easy, but after losing the True Name Dao Principle, many of his unique characteristics would also disappear. Would he fall back to the Great Emperor level and then try to comprehend his way to becoming a new Dao Lord?


Su Yuan wasn't entirely sure he could achieve that. Moreover, once Su Yuan lost the Dao Lord realm, he would also lose the ability to command this Chaos. Without the Dao Lord realm, he naturally wouldn't be qualified to control a Chaos.


"Without a doubt, I can only choose the second option!"
