Chapter 653 384: Parity Non-conservation and Causality

The giant insect panicked, twisting its body desperately. Its massive form thrashed through the cosmos, crushing nearby asteroids into interstellar dust.

'Replication?'

'According to the theory of parity non-conservation, a mirror-image replication should decay and change under the influence of the weak force.'

Clearly, this kind of causal issue didn't exist at the level of replication.

In other words, that ruled out mirror-image replication as the cause.

'Could it be causality?'

Zhao Rui's gaze sharpened as he suddenly understood.

This giant insect wasn't replicating at all; it was consuming causality.

It could borrow the power of causality to alter its own strength and attributes, effectively using causality to subvert reality.

As long as an opponent's power was within the scope of its causality, it could use that causality to take any damage and destruction inflicted upon it and turn it to its own use.

'Impressive!'

Zhao Rui couldn't help but marvel.

If he hadn't appeared, it would have been almost hopeless for humanity to defeat this giant insect.

That is, unless humanity managed to break through some technological threshold in a single moment, surpassing the giant insect's causal abilities.

But that possibility was minuscule.

"You're quite something, but you shouldn't have invaded the Ancestral Star."

With a stir of his Divine Soul, Zhao Rui unleashed his Domain Power to its fullest. Within the billions of light-years that his presence encompassed, every thread of causality belonging to the giant insect was severed.

"No!"

Following a shrill scream from the giant insect's Divine Soul, it and all the smaller insects it had spawned turned to ash and vanished into the cosmos.

'Poor Ancestral Star. At this rate of development, it would take them several thousand, maybe even tens of thousands of years, to be able to traverse the Milky Way Galaxy.'

Zhao Rui sighed, looking back at the Ancestral Star. The azure planet was so beautiful.

But now, that place no longer belonged to him.

He might feel a sense of belonging, but with no familiar faces left, everything he once had was lost to the river of time.

The Ancestral Star was like this, but what about Blue Star?

Were there other transmigrators?

Every black hole universe was its own dimension. With so many dimensions, they must all have different histories.

'Forget it. I'll just protect the Ancestral Star for now.'

With a casual wave of his hand, Zhao Rui sent an Immortal Talisman Divine Seal floating into the space hundreds of millions of kilometers from the Ancestral Star.

A mysterious force field that prevented spatial travel suddenly descended, enveloping the entire Solar System.

After finishing this, Zhao Rui suddenly froze.

'Why does this scene seem so familiar?'

'It's just like how Blue Star had a barrier artificially placed around it.'

'Could it be...?'

Zhao Rui's expression turned strange, and for a moment, he was at a loss.

His power had long since transcended cosmic space, but he had not yet reached the Realm of transcending time.

He was unable to grasp the Power of the Time Path.

Thus, he could neither see through the historical evolution of the entire universe nor learn of Blue Star's past.

"Who am I? Where do I come from? Where am I going?"

Zhao Rui shook his head, his expression suddenly desolate.

He had originally come back only because he learned of the Ancestral Star's existence and wanted to see it.

But after he had, the causal ties vanished, and his heart suddenly felt empty.

Now, only Blue Star remained as his tie to the world.

But no matter the connection, it couldn't compare to the past he once had on the Ancestral Star.

For that was the path home, imprinted deep within his Divine Soul.

'Perhaps... I should seek out the Power of Time.'

Zhao Rui's gaze grew surprisingly firm.

...

"This... how is this possible? The bugs have all vanished!"

"How on earth did he do that?"

"Could he be one of those transcendent beings from ancient myths?"

Aboard the Space City, everyone stared, dumbfounded, at the scene unfolding outside.
