Glory of Infinite Reincarnation

Chapter 691: Types of Transcendence

gold.

Pure gold, pure gold.

Blocking the view, covering everything.

Everything was covered in gold, and in the deepest part of the gold, Jiang Yu was able to know the true meaning of "self".

There is no clash of forces.

There is no refutation of the idea.

The crown is always there, and the only thing to consider is...

The question is whether he, the holder, is qualified to take it.

hazy.

Consciousness falls into the depths of thought.

The depths of the mind are an endless sea, which was once pitch black but is now gold.

The long-lost feeling of tiredness came over me in waves, along with slight, fragmented pains, which seemed to come from the severe pain in all my limbs, and it was as if something deep in my soul was breaking and collapsing.

"...Hurry! He's conscious--"

There were voices coming from far away. Multiple and urgent voices.

"--Inject immediately, 20 units...Hemostats!"

The sound was rapidly approaching, and becoming more and more frequent. It seemed as if some liquid flowed into my body, and then a cool touch slowly and gently penetrated my body and mind.

"The pulse is dropping...it's working...the pacemaker!"

The body is being sensed, and the touch of hands and feet has changed from a vague state to clear. Along with it is more pain. And the feeling of pain is clearer than every moment in the past.

really weird.

He had obviously adapted to this level of pain long ago—he had obviously transcended all the pain that mortals could know. All the changes in his body were clearly completely controlled by his own will. External thoughts and emotions had clearly no effect on him.

But why...

"Woo——"

It feels like an electric shock.

The lightning, which had long been completely under his control, seemed particularly violent and frenzied at this moment. It whipped every nerve that should have been indestructible. His brain went blank, and the pain spread further.

"Come again!"

Another bigger lightning.

It destroys wills, shatters ideas, turns pure gold to snow-white, and reveals reality to the eyes of those who immerse themselves.

Jiang Yu suddenly opened his eyes.

He felt that he should open his eyes suddenly, but the vision swept through his cognition at a slow speed.

He saw a bright but not glaring shadowless lamp, large expanses of clean white, and tiny shadows floating on the white ceiling, which seemed to be some kind of operating instrument.

Pain... pain spread throughout his limbs. They should be expressed, but they seemed to be slightly blocked by something. Perhaps it was the gauze called "anesthetic" that bound his pain and perception. His eyes moved slightly downward, and the strangers around him, wearing masks and white coats, all showed relaxed joy in their eyes.

"Hold on, your operation was successful!"

He saw the stranger closest to him pointing a syringe at his neck.

"Take some sleep, and when you wake up, everything will be fine."

The darkness came silently, swallowing up the gold and cleansing everything in sight.

..........................................

Time moved forward three days.

The awakened person knew the name of this building. This was the No. 1 public hospital in the city where he worked. His school was only one kilometer away. Before he regained consciousness for the first time, he had been in a coma for five days.

"You're really lucky, Jiang. The car didn't hit you directly, so the impact you endured wasn't that great. Although you broke five ribs, and your heart and lungs were a little damaged, it's not a big problem. You're still young and growing well."

"Of course, you did have some concussions before. It has mostly healed, but there will be some sequelae in the short term. You may see some hallucinations, hear some voices, and have some strange dreams. But don't worry, these are all curable diseases. As long as you take medicine on time and take care of yourself in the future, they won't affect you for long."

The doctor, wearing a white coat, looked at the young man lying on the bed. The young man was holding a mobile phone tightly in his hand, and it seemed that none of the words he just said fell into his ears.

He didn't take it seriously, as it was a common occurrence. He just nodded, stood up, patted the young man on the shoulder, and then turned and left.

"Someone has been wanting to see you, maybe you need some private space."

The doctor opened the door.

As the door opened, two urgent figures rushed in.

"Ayu!"

The young man on the bed raised his head suddenly, his eyes lit up, and then dimmed a little. The two figures seemed to want to hug him tightly, but they tried hard to control their emotions before touching him.

"It's Mom and Dad! Ayu, you've suffered a lot!" The faces of the two figures gradually became clear in the young man's eyes.

The young man's lips trembled, his eyes danced, and deep in his mind seemed to be overflowing with some ancient and unfamiliar emotions. It seemed to be disbelief, and it seemed to be an escape.

"Dad...Mom..." He opened his mouth and uttered this strange and awkward pronunciation. An invisible burden was collapsing on him, and along with the burden, perhaps something called responsibility was also collapsing.

The cell phone he was holding tightly fell onto the bed.

Before he reached out to his parents, some words popped up on the page of his phone.

It was a novel, an online novel called "Infinite Horror". At the end of the novel, there were a large number of sequels and derivative works.

Among them, there is an author named Jiuyuan, whose works have been repeatedly paid attention to by young people in recent days.

But now, it is useless.

....................................

Three months later.

"You are a good student, Jiang." The bespectacled student union member looked at the thin young man sitting across from the desk. His eyes were full of admiration. "I can't believe you caught up with all the progress in such a short time. You had no rivals in this final exam. It's a pity. If you could recover earlier, you would surely shine in this school sports meet. I heard that you played an important role in the student union in high school. Perhaps you plan to continue this tradition in college?"

"Can I take this as an invitation?" The young man in front of him smiled. "I like order and I also like construction. It seems that we will have a good cooperation in the future."

"You are quite interesting. Have you been reading online articles recently?" The student union recruiter smiled and shook hands with the young man. He did not comment too much on the personal hobbies of the junior in front of him, because he knew that this outstanding junior had the misfortune of being hit by a car in the school after the military training. Although the perpetrator was quickly held accountable and compensated, and the victim's injuries recovered quickly. But before the junior could get out of bed and use his brain properly, reading online articles might be his only way to pass the time.

"Indeed I am watching." The young man in front of him just smiled. "Does the student union have any plans for me?"

"It depends on what you want to do," the recruiter said. "The student union needs people in many areas, and they need capable people. Capable people can shine no matter where they are, but the student union is not a company after all. It depends on what direction you want to go."

"Like part-time as the president of the literature club?"

"Well, there's no rule that says you can't do this." The recruiter smiled and nodded. "But let me ask, do you like online novels so much?"

"Yeah." The young man did not deny it. "I do have some interest, and..."

“…I also want to verify something.”

..............................

Three years later.

Student Union President Jiang Yu stretched out his hand and raised the drink cup in front of him.

"All good things must come to an end. Ladies and gentlemen, the Student Union will be handed over to you from now on. All of you here are young talents, and I believe you will be able to make it bigger and stronger and create greater glory. I won't say much else, let's use tea instead of wine to celebrate the upcoming success!"

He raised the glass and drank it all.

In front of him, many members of the student union also had red faces and drank the substitute wine in their cups. He waved his hand and rejected the flattery and approach of these juniors. He walked out of the hotel quietly, and his successors were also tactful and did not hinder his actions.

Three years have passed.

Nearly four years.

His university career is about to end, but he has already started his own business and has achieved some success. In fact, he has been called "Mr. Jiang" by many people.

He walked forward, alone into the night wind. When a beautiful woman passing by approached him, he just smiled and responded casually.

All that past is over.

He did not disappoint his parents, but also put his free energy into exploring the past. He still remembered the wars, the fights, the sacrifices that lasted for seven million epochs, and the final step of defeating the Cosmic Serpent that was about to be completed.

Yet there was nothing he could do.

He became a real ordinary person, without strength or skills, and he used countless methods to verify the reality of the current world. However, in the end, he got a very unfriendly result.

Everything seemed like a dream. Everything he saw seemed like delirium and delusion caused by a concussion. The psychiatrist concluded that he had read too many infinite online novels and spontaneously filled these contents into his mind when he lost too much blood. All the evidence supported the doctor's test results.

His parents did not hold him back; they supported him in doing whatever he wanted to do without any hesitation.

With their support and his own efforts, he successfully contacted the infinite flow fan fiction author named Jiuyuan and became friends with him.

He saw with his own eyes that the author got inspiration after listening to his story. He watched that person start a book from scratch. He saw the protagonist with the same name as him roam freely in the infinite and diverse worldviews. Then, he saw with his own eyes that the author gave up commercial writing at the end in order to respect this friendship.

[There is no such thing as a great celestial master, nor any such thing as an external multi-dimensional flying stone. Everything is just a fantasy of a dying boy lying in a pool of blood. He immersed his last life in a fantasy dream.]

[However, this is not the end. He was saved and he was completely fine. Even if it was all just a dream, when he woke up, he was no longer as mediocre as before - even if he was not mediocre in the first place.]

[A brand new future awaits him, and everything will be created by his own hands.]

An ending that could be described as a case of literary youth. The author was criticized for this. However, Jiang Yu, who witnessed all of this, had a complex and indescribable change of thoughts in his heart.

That's how it ended.

This is the end result.

Jiang Yu stood in the night wind. He and the author had rarely been in contact.

He raised his head and looked at the sky. The night wind was blowing, and the stars were still shining tonight.

The world will not stop functioning because of him, and the world will not stop moving because of losing him. He exhaled gently, and the little thoughts flowing deep in his mind finally stopped lingering.

Ten years later, Jiang Yu has become a well-known entrepreneur. He has made many investments and is particularly interested in infrastructure and online literature.

He finally ended his single life at the age of 32. Under the eager gaze of his parents, he accepted the pursuit of a deputy who had been following him for a long time. The face and personality of that woman were completely different from He Xia, Zhan Lan, and Zhao Yingkong.

He had three children, each of whom achieved something. When his parents died one after another, his three children had already started their own families and careers. The departed elders were very satisfied with this.

He lived to be ninety-seven years old.

His life was mostly full of triumph and success, with only a few moments of frustration and loneliness. When he lay peacefully on the hospital bed, all we could see was a face filled with deep sorrow.

Everything is complete because of this.

As a mortal, it is difficult to do more than him.

And the moment he closed his eyes, he finally fell into the depths of death again.

Pure death, eternal death. There is no "soul" in this world. The moment when consciousness stops, it is eternal nothingness.

So he died.

He thus became nothing.

..............................

Jiang Yu opened his eyes.

He examined his life and where he came from. He was not in an illusion, he really existed in the multiverse where Jiang Yu was already dead.

All of that was real and had happened. College student Jiang Yu was indeed seriously injured in a car accident, and then was rescued. After that, as a mortal, he spent his life in an ordinary way.

He did not leave that multiverse.

He did not turn into flying stone and fall into the infinite multiverse.

Because he has become [ ], his life has ended. His own source world line has reached the end through his own hands. The Jiang Yu of the past and the Jiang Yu of the future have no connection with him. He is a transcendent being independent of all things.

"So, I don't exist." Jiang Yu shifted his gaze and looked at the Great Celestial Lord in front of him - the Great Celestial Lord was dissolving in front of him and transforming into [ ] just like him.

"You do not exist." The Great Lord responded. "Because existence is existence. It is finite. You should understand this clearly because you have stayed in this realm for a while."

Jiang Yu did not travel through time. The source world line has ended.

But the flying stone has already fallen, hit the target, and achieved results.

Then the flying stone should not be Jiang Yu, and since it is not Jiang Yu, then what should it be?
The answer is simple, it is nothing. It does not exist, so it can be anything.

It can no longer be described with a noun, because it has already transcended everything. It does not exist in life or death, it does not exist in finiteness or infinity. It is a thought that does not need a carrier, a will that does not need a medium. And the reason why it can have the body of the universe is because the universe is the largest structure inside and outside the multiverse.

This was the Silver Snake, the Light Skeleton, and the place where the Great Celestial Venerable resided. At this moment, Jiang Yu finally succeeded in getting a little involved.

The Great Celestial Lord melted silently in front of him, and the fourth hammer of Forging the World finally fell.
