Chapter 43: Beyond Eternity!
After successfully passing the triple trials within the Temple of Time, Isaac's heart, like a calm lake, was stirred by an indescribable awakening. He not only gained control over the past but also a deeper understanding of the place of all beings in the past, present, and future. This gave him a clearer understanding of the concepts of freedom, reincarnation, and equality. He discovered that he was not only the guardian of the heavens but also the true master of time and the universe.
However, just as he was about to leave the temple, the surrounding space suddenly underwent a strange change. The once empty hall was gradually enveloped in dazzling golden light, and an overwhelming pressure, far greater than he had ever seen before, quietly descended, as if he were in a virtual simulation theater where time flowed.
Isaac's heart sank. This pressure did not come from hostility, but from the very origin of the universe conveying a message to him, an ultimate call.
[System notification: A fluctuation of cosmic will has been detected, suspected to be a highest-level energy sensing.]
Isaac paused for a moment, then took a deep breath. He knew this was the will of the universe calling to him, signifying that he was about to engage in a dialogue with the root of this cinematic universe.
"The will of the universe has actually appeared." He murmured to himself, feeling a sense of vigilance and solemnity. He knew that as the lord of all heavens and the controller of time and life and death, being summoned by the will of the universe meant that he had reached a height that no one before him had ever reached.
Within the golden light, a vast yet blurry image gradually emerged. Its exact form was indistinct, yet it radiated unparalleled majesty. Its existence seemed inextricably linked to the movement of the stars and intertwined with the fates of countless beings.
“Isaac, welcome to the realm of eternity.” The voice was deep and gentle, filled with boundless wisdom and insight, as if it could see through the essence of all living beings.
Isaac gazed silently at the phantom of the cosmic will, and respectfully bowed his head, asking, "Cosmic will, why have you summoned me here?"
The will of the universe smiled slightly, a hint of satisfaction in its voice: "You have become the lord of all heavens, the master of time and life and death, and have granted the universe true freedom. You have reached a realm beyond the ordinary, but do you truly understand the meaning of 'eternity'?"
Isaac frowned slightly, a hint of doubt in his eyes. Although he had mastered the cycle of life and death and comprehended the flow of time, the word "eternity" still held an elusive and profound meaning for him.
“I don’t understand, please enlighten me.” Isaac pleaded earnestly, knowing that the cosmic will before him could provide him with an answer he had never seen before.
The Will of the Universe nodded slightly and slowly said, "Eternity is not merely existing within the long river of time, nor is it simply a power that transcends reincarnation. Eternity signifies the true meaning of existence, the understanding and protection of the essence of all things. And Lord of the Heavens, your true mission is to maintain the eternal balance of the universe."
Isaac was slightly shocked. He had never imagined that "eternity" was so closely related to "balance." Freedom, reincarnation, time, life and death—the essence of all these was actually to maintain the balance of the universe, rather than simply the pursuit of power.
“Balance… I see.” Isaac murmured softly, his eyes growing increasingly resolute. He realized that his mission was not merely to protect, but to guide this universe toward harmony.
The will of the universe continued, "The lords of the past briefly wavered between protection and destruction, unable to comprehend the true meaning of eternity, ultimately causing the universe to fall into the cycle of suffering. But you are different; you broke the shackles of fate, granted freedom to all living beings, and brought new hope to the universe."
Isaac was surprised, but he was not complacent. He knew that this honor did not belong to him alone, but to the spirits he protected; it was their faith that made it all possible.
“I understand, the will of the universe. I will continue my mission to protect the balance and harmony of this cinematic universe,” Isaac replied firmly, his eyes gleaming with determination.
The phantom of the cosmic will trembled slightly and slowly said, "Very good. However, to truly achieve eternal balance, you must transcend your current form of existence, become part of the origin of the universe, integrate your will into the pulse of the universe, and become the eternal guardian force of this cinematic universe."
Isaac felt a jolt; he knew what this meant. To merge himself with the origin of the universe meant he would no longer be a single life form, but the embodiment of the universe, living and dying with it, becoming truly "eternal."
This was not only an honor, but also a heavy choice. Isaac remained silent for a moment, his inner conviction growing stronger. To safeguard the balance of freedom, reincarnation, and time, he was willing to shoulder this responsibility, transforming his existence into the eternal power of the universe.
"I do," he said softly, his voice filled with clear resolve and no regret.
The phantom of the cosmic will nodded slightly, with a hint of satisfaction: "Your choice will usher in a new era for the universe. Isaac, from this moment on, you will become the source of the universe's protection. With your will, initiate eternal balance."
As the words of the cosmic will faded, the entire space suddenly became incredibly bright, and golden light surged towards Isaac like a tide, completely enveloping his body. A powerful force erupted from within him, a sense of existence that transcended time and reincarnation, as if his will encompassed the very fabric of the universe and was connected to the life trajectory of every living being.
The power within him gradually spread, transforming into countless golden specks of light that merged into every corner of this universe. The power of destiny, the power of reincarnation, the power of time—all these powers converged at this moment, becoming part of the origin of the universe.
His divine sense gradually expanded, sensing the pulse of every star and the breath of every world. The aura of all the heavens and myriad realms surged into his divine sense like a tide. He was no longer just "Isaac," but the guardian of this universe, a symbol of balance and eternity.
The moment he completed the fusion, the surrounding golden light gradually dissipated, and the phantom of the cosmic will slowly vanished, leaving behind endless tranquility and harmony. Isaac's consciousness permeated the entire universe, feeling the joys and sorrows of every living being, and sensing the rhythm of every world.
He is no longer an individual, but the guardian of the universe itself, the resonator of all things. He knows that his existence has transcended physical form and become an eternal will.
In every corner of the universe, all living beings look up in unison, as a warm power flows through the cosmos. That power carries peace and tranquility, as if silently proclaiming a new order.
All living beings in the myriad realms bowed their heads in reverence to this invisible will. From the most ordinary mortals to the most powerful gods, all felt an unparalleled peace. They knew that from this moment on, the universe would usher in a new era filled with peace and freedom.
