I just became the Pirate King, and you're telling me I also time-traveled at the same time.

Chapter 357 The Void Explosion! A Fleeting Bloom! Karl's Fall! Goodbye

"boom!!!"

A series of sounds, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing, echoed in Karl's mind, causing him to lose his ability to think for a moment.

At the same time, the black hole, which had been trembling violently, suddenly stabilized.

Or rather...

Chu Yang seized control of the black hole from the Heavenly Dao of the Universe!

With a gentle wave of his hand, the black hole vanished instantly, reappearing in front of the void rift.

The singularity at the center of the black hole connects with the void rift, and finally the void rift suddenly closes and begins to tremble wildly!

Through the last remaining crack, one could clearly see a terrifying explosion, seemingly capable of destroying the world, erupting within the void rift!

Chu Yang used the black hole he seized from the Heavenly Dao, along with an artificial "singularity," to replicate the Big Bang that caused the known history of the universe to break down.

It was a cosmic-scale Big Bang that destroyed 99% of the known universe, allowing life to be reborn and everything to start anew.

However, Chu Yang's artificial singularity obviously couldn't make the explosion that terrifying.

But if it's just to compress the void rift and cause some damage to the void, that's perfectly sufficient!

After this explosion, at least for a short period of time, the void rift will shrink to its limit, and it will be difficult for any more Xu Hong creatures to emerge from it.

"Buzz..."

Just then, a deep purple ray of light pierced through the universe and shot into the Lingxiao Palace, instantly appearing in front of Chu Yang.

At the same time, the giant eye in the void rapidly weakened, as if it had run out of energy.

Chu Yang's eyes narrowed, and Zhou Shen's dragon and phoenix re-condensed into an imperial decree, blocking the way.

"boom!!!"

A powerful energy wave swept out, causing the Lingxiao Palace to shake violently. The purple energy rays slowly dissipated, but even the Imperial Decree developed a small crack under this attack.

Chu Yang groaned, and the Lingxiao Palace and all the strange phenomena dissipated. The Ziwei and Beidou on his shoulders once again transformed into the sun and moon.

Holding the somewhat dimmed [Heavenly Palace], Chu Yang looked up at the giant eye in the void.

I really underestimated it. The power of that attack just now far exceeded the scope of a Dou Di, and was absolutely comparable to the full-force attack of a Di Supreme expert!

This thing seems to act as a ranged mage among the void creatures?

Put away [Tianque]. In fact, both the Lingxiao Palace and the Imperial Decree are just anomalies produced by the Bankai of [Tianque].

Therefore, even if the imperial decree is damaged, it will only affect the [Heavenly Palace] to some extent, and it will recover in a certain amount of time.

On the contrary, because [Tianque] was connected to Chu Yang's origin, he was injured.

Chu Yang raised his hand and made a grasping motion, and [Fengdu] once again transformed into the Gate of Ghosts, appearing behind the giant eye in the void.

The giant eye of the void, whose energy was nearly exhausted, was no match for those ghostly hands this time and was slowly pulled into the gates of hell.

After Fengdu devoured the Void Giant Eye, it absorbed some of its energy and fed it back to Chu Yang, stabilizing Chu Yang's injuries.

With a thought, Chu Yang grasped Fengdu in his hand, and the Great Dragon Elephant Dharma Body vanished with a bang.

Without a target, the giant void worm was momentarily bewildered before charging towards Chu Yang.

Chu Yang held his sword horizontally in front of his chest, and with him as the center, the universe collapsed once again.

This spatial collapse covers a far larger area than any previous one.

Moreover, those spatial fragments did not quickly reassemble; instead, they converged towards Chu Yang, forming a layer of keratin on the [Fengdu] Sword God.

Forging a sword in a corner of the world!

The void above Chu Yang's head trembled, and another tiny black hole appeared, but he only glanced at it indifferently before the black hole suddenly disappeared.

Clearly, the Heavenly Dao of the Universe was very dissatisfied with Chu Yang's forceful and plundering behavior. One can imagine that, having just been suppressed by Haotian, he could only be like the Heavenly Dao of the Dou Qi Continent, daring to be angry but not daring to speak out.

Chu Yang swung his arm, and his longsword slashed out, creating a dazzling display of colors!

Extreme Sword Technique: Ephemeral Flower!

The dazzling sword light instantly pulverized the giant void worm.

But just as its name suggests, the dazzling splendor vanished in an instant, as if it had never existed.

Chu Yang's face also turned pale at this moment. After all, he was only at the Dou Sheng realm. When he was in full power, he could contend with Dou Di.

Having already slain three Dou Di level beings, and then suffered a blow comparable to an Emperor Supreme, it was quite difficult for him to unleash the most explosive move in the Extreme Sword Technique under these circumstances.

The source energy within his body was almost completely depleted, and even his vast and boundless soul power was greatly depleted.

However, he was far from being at his limit, and turned to look at Karl, who had only slowly come to his senses after hearing about this matter.

The sudden explosion in his mind earlier almost caused Karl's illusory body to collapse, and now it was so illusory that it was almost transparent.

Seeing that Chu Yang had shifted his target to him, and that for some unknown reason, the three powerful void creatures had all disappeared without a trace, and even the void rifts had almost completely closed, an emotion that had not appeared for countless millennia surged up.

That feeling...

It seems to be fear?

Carl, who has always enjoyed creating fear, creating death, and even pursuing ultimate fear, is more desperate than anyone else when faced with fear.

He suddenly remembered that a few years ago, when Chu Yang first revealed his strength on Earth, he used the name "Pangu" to call out to him from afar.

"Karl, you enjoy studying death, but have you ever considered that one day you might be shrouded in its presence?"

At this moment, Karl felt the danger of death. Even though he no longer had a physical body and was only in a phantom form, he still felt a chill run through his body.

He never imagined that one day he would actually be shrouded in death!

But after a brief moment of fear, Karl went into a frenzy again, spreading his arms wide and laughing loudly:

"Come on, Chu Yang!"

"Kill me! Let me taste death!"

Perhaps... experiencing death firsthand can bring us one step closer to the truth?

As Karl thought this, he closed his eyes nonchalantly, a slight smile even appearing on his lips.

Chu Yang stared at Karl, then gently waved his hand, unleashing a sweeping burst of soul power that shattered the soul shield surrounding Karl.

He reached out and took the ancient book. The cover of the ancient tree was covered with runes, but there was no content on the pages. It only emitted a faint, eerie light.

"Prehistoric artifacts?" Chu Yang raised an eyebrow.

Karl didn't open his eyes, but simply nodded and said, "That's right! But I couldn't glean any clues about prehistoric times from it."

"This is what I obtained in the void, perhaps as you think, the secret to preventing historical breaks deep within the void."

Chu Yang put the ancient book away and cut off Pangu's live stream.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he manipulated a piece of cosmic dust to come to the two of them and sat down on it.

Slightly weary, Chu Yang rubbed his temples and took a deep breath, asking, "How much do you know about prehistory?"

"Fear! I know nothing but fear!" Karl kept his eyes closed, a look of ecstasy on his face.

It's as if they're imagining themselves rushing toward the truth after their death.

"You are a genius, a genius unprecedented in the entire known universe after the historical break."

Chu Yang didn't seem to have much killing intent. "In a sense, even Ding Heige and Kieran are not as good as you."

Karl shook his head and said, "I am not as good as my teacher; it's just that we study different things."

Karl was Kieran's student, but the two had completely opposite attitudes toward the Void and went down different paths.

Chu Yang shrugged and said, "They say that geniuses have the traits of madmen, but in you, madness takes the lead."

"The path to truth is inevitably lonely..." Karl smiled and said, "Chu Yang, I really want to see who wins between you and the void!"

"We only witnessed soldiers and generals in the void; the true kings and emperors are far more powerful than them!"

Chu Yang didn't discuss the issue with him further, but instead said, "I want all the data from the large clock, as well as its core technology."

"The Great Clock is at the center of the Dark Nebula. The Four Horsemen of the Styx can't stop you. Go get it if you want it!" Karl seemed to have let go of everything and was just waiting for death to come.

"Go and pursue your truth!" Chu Yang slowly stood up, glanced at the void rift, and turned to leave.

Just as Chu Yang's figure disappeared into the spatial insect movement, Karl's illusion shattered with a bang, scattering mottled light spots before vanishing into nothingness.

No matter how insane and evil he may be, it is undeniable that Karl is the greatest scholar in the known universe after Dingheg and Kieran.

But this grim reaper, who loved to create death, ultimately reaped what he sowed.

But at least for Karl, he didn't have many regrets before he died.

Although Chu Yang used him, he also allowed him to successfully connect to the void and witness ultimate fear.

Soldiers and generals in the void undoubtedly possess the power to destroy the entire universe.

Unfortunately……

A freak like Chu Yang has appeared in the universe!

Where does that inhuman, godlike, yet incredibly powerful and terrifying force come from?

This was perhaps Karl's biggest question before he died.

…………

Dark Nebula.

Chu Yang walked slowly through the cold, dark hall, with three corpses lying at his feet.

Nusa, Somali, Ronin.

These three should have been dead long ago, but Chu Yang spared their lives to make Karl's connection to the void smoother.

Nusa had attempted to seize the Heavenly Dao Tower, and Sumali and Ruoning had followed Hua Ye in invading Earth time and again, and had long been on Chu Yang's death list.

The snake followed closely behind Chu Yang, its head bowed and eyes lowered.

Looking at the clock's computing core, which resembled an hourglass, the snake said obsequiously, "Master, as you instructed, I have mastered all the peripheral technologies and data of the great clock."

"This computing core contains a massive database of data from a large clock, as well as core technologies."

"But that core technology is heavily protected, and even Karl has never been able to get his hands on it."

Chu Yang nodded and said, "Well done. From today onwards, you are the chief god of the Dark Nebula."

"Transfer all peripheral technologies and data to the Pangu computing cluster, and then quickly reorganize the Dark Nebula."

"Make all life in the entire Dark Nebula my followers."

The snake knelt on one knee and respectfully replied, "As you command!"

After the snake left, Chu Yang placed his hand on the hourglass and said softly, "Principal, please come out and meet us!"

"If I forcibly break through the protection layer of the core technology of the large clock, it will inevitably have some impact on you."

"Super God Academy once protected Earth; there's no need for us to become enemies."

As he finished speaking, the hourglass flipped, and the space in the hall began to distort.

Chu Yang narrowed his eyes; he could feel himself being pulled into a higher-dimensional world.

When everything around it became clear again, it was surrounded by images, scenes from different periods of the universe.

However, the vast majority of them were related to him.

"So stingy? Can't you even let me see the truth about the universe?"

A blurry, enormous phantom appeared, speaking in a voice that sounded almost mechanical: "The truth of the universe...unknown...possibly...the Big Bang..."

Chu Yang shook his head and said, "The Big Bang only brought life back to its origin, but it's not the truth of the universe. Even if you don't know, there's no need to try to fool me, is there?"

Kieran was silent for a moment, then said, "I can communicate with you without any problems. Have you perhaps glimpsed the mysteries of a higher-dimensional universe?"

"At least I can speak normally now..." Chu Yang pouted. "I don't want to become a higher-dimensional being like you, so I've never studied higher-dimensional universes."

"However, even higher-dimensional universes are under the sway of the Heavenly Dao. I just wanted to communicate with you without any barriers, so I asked the Heavenly Dao for a small favor."

Kieran fell silent once again. The commotion caused by Chu Yang and the void creatures, and the repeated collapses of space, which led to problems with the spatial structure of the entire known universe, had naturally attracted his attention long ago.

Therefore, Kieran was well aware that the so-called seeking help from the Heavenly Dao was most likely a threat made by Chu Yang against the Heavenly Dao.

Kieran never expected that Chu Yang would be so powerful that even the Heavenly Dao of the Universe could only avoid his sharp edge.

"I can hand over the core technology of the Great Clock to you, but you must tell me, what exactly is your attitude towards the Void?" Kieran's voice became serious.

Chu Yang replied without hesitation: "Intercept the void, enter the void, explore the void, and control the void!"

He has already accomplished the first point; the second and third points will be addressed simultaneously; as for the last point…

Kieran said in a deep voice, "Control? What if we fail?"

"Then destroy it!" Chu Yang said without hesitation.

"Karl was born in accordance with the will of Heaven, and should have allowed the known universe to return to its original state as it was 100,000 years ago, with life returning to its origin and everything starting anew."

Kieran finally revealed the secret he knew: "Just like it did 100,000 years ago, Earth is trying to defy the will of Heaven."

"Ge Xiaolun was supposed to be Earth's hope for overcoming this calamity."

"But now that you've become a variable, the future of both Earth and the universe has become unpredictable."

Chu Yang raised an eyebrow. "So you're on Earth's side?"

He finally understood why all the clues to the truth of history ultimately pointed to Earth.

It seems that a great war took place between Earth and the cosmic order 100,000 years ago!

However, both the Shenhe Civilization and the Deno Civilization were advanced civilizations that developed with the help of the Kilan.

The ultimate destinations of the Shenhe and Deno civilizations were Earth, which means...

Kieran began his planning long ago, developing Shenhe and Deno, all just to help Earth cultivate those destined for tribulation? (End of Chapter)
