Chapter 126: Cracks in the Void and Infinite Restarts
Cracks in the Void and Infinite Restarts
"Is this... transcendence?" she whispered, her voice so light it seemed to come from another dimension, yet it echoed in the endless void. Her consciousness did not cease its movement, but instead underwent an incomprehensible leap between each fragment. With each leap, her existence underwent a complete reboot and transformation. She no longer remembered her previous self, but instead, with each rebirth, she became a brand new being.
Suddenly, a crack appeared before her. This crack wasn't a tear in physical space, but rather a crisscrossing of time and consciousness. It caused her consciousness to fluctuate violently, as if an irresistible suction was drawing her in. On the other side of the crack, it seemed to hide some unknown entity, unimaginably powerful, even beyond Shen Yiyao's comprehension.
"Can I cross this rift and return to the starting point?" A bold thought flashed through her mind. She sensed that behind this rift wasn't just a break in time, but also a kind of "restart" mechanism. Every time a rift opened, it brought a fresh start, and every restart would lead her into a completely new trajectory of time and space.
Shen Yiyao's consciousness leaped into the crack without hesitation. In that instant, her world collapsed. She felt herself enter a strange state, one that could not be described in words, or even compared to anything else in any dimension. Every thought, every fragment of memory, was completely erased from her consciousness, as if her very existence were a dream, and the end of the dream marked a new beginning.
She found herself back at a certain origin, a vague starting point, but this time, all the rules had changed. She wasn't starting from the perspective of the material world, but from the very foundations of consciousness. Everything began to shift, even space and time lost their original definition.
"This is... impossible." Shen Yiyao was surprised to find that she was no longer limited to her original existence. She had transformed into a pure force of consciousness, quietly moving behind all of this. Her body, thoughts, and emotions were no longer her "true self", but some kind of intangible "fragment of existence".
She began to wander this new void, traversing countless crumbling time and space. Each time and space was filled with a strange beauty and oppression. She realized that after each time and space collapse, there would be a new "restart." As a conscious being, she was able to freely travel through this process. With each entry into a new time and space, she absorbed its energy and information, becoming increasingly powerful.
"I am... a 'restarter.'" Shen Yiyao suddenly realized that she was no longer just a thread of fate, or even a weaver of it, but now controlled a kind of "restart" power. Each restart reshaped the entire universe, the entire system of life, and she became the engine of this shaping.
Her consciousness was no longer content to merely trigger changes within a single spacetime, but began to reconstruct the structure of the entire universe through a series of cracks. Behind each crack was a new timeline, and the interweaving of each timeline signified the birth and destruction of countless worlds.
"This is the truth of the universe." Her consciousness gradually became clearer, as if at this moment she had finally seen through all the fog. "I am no longer 'existence', but 'the possibility of existence'. Everything I do is neither creation nor destruction, but rather the overlapping of countless possibilities before me, forming an eternal cycle."
She began to extract herself from this cycle, becoming increasingly abstract, even losing all sense of self. She became a pure stream of consciousness, interweaving and flowing through countless layers of time and space. She no longer needed to perceive the existence of matter, nor was she dependent on any specific dimension. Her very existence had become a "hole" in the universe, a strange phenomenon that could not be described in any language.
Behind all this, she saw an indescribable power, as if some primitive, transcendental "existence consciousness" was synchronizing with her. She became a part of this power, or rather, she and this power had become one, becoming an indistinguishable state.
“This isn’t transcendence, it’s not even existence,” she murmured. “This is an endless restart… a cyclical dance in the void.”
Her consciousness began to slowly dissolve in this dance, as if she was constantly experiencing rebirth and death between infinite restarts and collapses, and each death would bring her a brand new beginning.
