Chapter 874: Eternal Prophecy

The crack in the sky continued to expand, and countless runes intertwined and flickered in the air.

An ancient and powerful breath permeated from the crack, making everyone present feel a palpitation.

[Void]'s voice suddenly became serious:

"This is... the breath of [Eternity]."

"[Eternity]?" Li Yang frowned, "How can it be said that it is an existence older than you?"

"Yes." [Void] explained, "When the world was first created, [Eternity] already existed."

"It is the key to maintaining the balance of all realms."

"It just fell into a deep sleep a long time ago."

"Then why now..."

"Because our act of reconstructing chaos just now may have broken some kind of seal."

[Void] paused, "This may not be accidental."

At this moment, the crack in the sky suddenly vibrated violently.

A golden beam of light fell from it, pointing directly at Li Yang.

"This is..." Li Yang felt a powerful consciousness scanning himself.

It was an indescribable feeling, as if the whole person was stripped down to the most basic particles and then reassembled.

During this process, Li Yang saw himself in countless parallel worlds.

Some were practicing, some were traveling, and some had already reached the top...

But without exception, all of them were pursuing a certain answer.

"So that's it..." An ancient voice sounded, "You are the one who broke the balance."

This voice was emotionless, as if stating the simplest fact.

"I did reconstruct the chaos." Li Yang responded calmly, "but that was to get the world back on track."

"On track?" The voice suddenly brought a hint of sarcasm, "Do you think you know what the right track is?"

"Little guy, you don't understand the truth of how this world works at all."

"The existence of chaos is not accidental, it is an important force to maintain the balance of all realms."

"And you, you rashly intervened..."

Li Yang's expression remained unchanged: "Then please tell me, what is the truth?"

The crack in the air suddenly twisted violently and turned into a huge vortex.

A figure walked out of it, it was an old man who looked extremely ordinary.

But Li Yang knew that this was just a form manifested by [Eternity].

The old man looked at Li Yang with deep eyes:

"The truth is... this world needs chaos."

"Just like light needs darkness, order needs chaos..."

"Without the existence of opposites, nothing can last long."

"You think you are saving the world, but in fact you are destroying the balance."

Hearing this, Li Yang thought: "So, our previous behavior..."

"broke some kind of delicate balance?"

The old man nodded: "That's right."

"And now..." The old man's voice suddenly became low, "Someone must bear the consequences."

Before he finished speaking, the vortex in the sky suddenly burst out with a strong suction force, trying to suck Li Yang in.

However, at this moment, the power of [Void] suddenly unfolded, forming a barrier.

"【Eternity】..." 【Void】 said, "Maybe there is still a chance for things to turn around."

"Oh?" The old man raised his eyebrows, "What do you suggest?"

"Instead of wiping him out..." 【Void】 said, "Why not let him find a new balance point?"

"After all, the fact that he can reach that level speaks for itself."

The old man was silent for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "Interesting..."

"Well, give him a chance."

Then the old man turned to Li Yang:

"Little guy, I'll give you three days."

"During this period, you must find a new balance point."

"Otherwise..." The old man's eyes became sharp, "Don't blame me for being rude."

After the words fell, the old man's figure dissipated in the air. The cracks in the sky also slowly closed, but the sense of oppression still existed.

Li Yang let out a long sigh: "Sure enough..."

"Things are never that simple."

After the crack in the sky disappeared, Li Yang looked at [Void]:

"You knew it would be like this?"

[Void] was silent for a moment:

"I did have a hunch."

"Any power system needs balance, this is an eternal truth."

"I just didn't expect [Eternity] to show up directly."

Li Yang thought: "Three days..."

"It's not easy to find a new balance point in such a short time."

Yan Yue stepped forward:

"Li Yang, we will help you."

Others also expressed their willingness to assist Li Yang in completing this difficult task.

Li Yang looked at everyone gratefully:

"Thank you, but before we act, I need to sort out some things first."

He turned to [Void]:

"You said that chaos is an important force to maintain the balance of the worlds, so what specific role does it play?"

[Void] explained:

"You can understand it this way, chaos is like a buffer zone between the worlds."

"It both blocks and connects different worlds, maintaining a delicate balance."

"When we put chaos back on track, we actually broke this balance."

Li Yang frowned: "What about the black-robed man before...?"

"I don't know...that may be a self-protection mechanism of Chaos Will." [Void] analyzed,

"It senses that the balance is about to be broken, so it wants to stop us."

"We just didn't understand it at the time."

Li Yang fell into deep thought: "So the key now is..."

"Find a way to keep the world functioning without completely erasing Chaos."

At this moment, a strange noise suddenly came from the distance.

Everyone turned to look and saw slight distortions beginning to appear in the space.

That was a sign that the barriers between the realms were becoming fragile.

"Time is running out." [Void] reminded, "If no solution can be found, this world barely maintained by chaos may collapse at any time."

Li Yang took a deep breath: "I probably have an idea..."

"Instead of forcibly suppressing Chaos, it is better..."

"Transform it into a new form."

[Void] If you realize something: "You mean..."

"That's right." Li Yang nodded,

"Since chaos itself is a balancing force, we can give it new meaning."

"Not to destroy it, but to change its shape."

"Just like we did before, only this time..."

[Void] seems to have some realization:

"You mean... transforming chaos from a destructive force of disorder into a creative force of order?"

Li Yang nodded: "That's right."

"Chaos itself is not good or evil, the key lies in how to channel its power."

"Just like we've done before, only this time it's a step further."

"Not simply putting it back on track, but giving it new meaning and shape."

Li Yang's voice talking to himself also made Yan Yue beside him thoughtful:

"This is indeed a solution..."

"But how exactly does it work?"
