Chapter 173: The Beginning of the Crack
Before he could finish speaking, a spatial rift suddenly opened before Isaac's eyes, and a dark beam of light shot out from it, enveloping him. Everything in the space began to blur, and Isaac realized that he had entered a different dimension—the world of dark prophecy.
It all happened so fast that Isaac didn't even have time to react. In an instant, scenes of the future flashed before his eyes—scenes that seemed to traverse the river of time, from ancient ruins to the impending apocalypse, ever-changing and unpredictable.
These scenes are not visual images, but rather a mist filled with symbols, colors, and forms. They flash by like ancient paintings, revealing countless facets of the universe's future. Each painting is like the end of a piece of history.
"This...this is the future?" Isaac's heart jolted. He tried to focus his mind, wanting to see these images more clearly. But the deeper he went, the more he realized he couldn't control this fog. These images seemed to come from something beyond his comprehension; the ultimate truth remained hidden behind layers of fog.
However, one image stands out in particular—a once-brilliant planet, now shrouded in darkness, its surface riddled with cracks, and almost entirely devoid of life. This was a planet in the universe he had created, long since swallowed up by an unseen force, reduced to a desolate ruin.
"Is this the end result?" Isaac was horrified. He knew that the new universe he had created was not perfect. Although the new order had brought hope to countless lives, the deep rules of the universe were still rebelling against him. Every intervention in the laws of the universe would bring endless disaster.
Suddenly, the scene shifted, revealing an even more unfamiliar landscape—in the endless void, a blurry figure slowly emerged. Behind this figure, a colossal black hole was vaguely outlined, its swallowing force dragging everything into the unknown abyss. Isaac tried to gaze at the figure's face, but found he couldn't capture any details, only feeling an indescribable sense of oppression.
"Do you see that, Isaac?" the voice rang out again, laced with deep irony. "The universe you created will ultimately perish. The fate you tried to escape was already sealed."
Faced with this scene, Isaac felt a strong sense of resistance. He knew that this was not the natural law of the universe, but rather the driving force of some external power, just as the Hermit had said, the universe was not entirely within his control. He was caught in a fierce internal struggle—should he accept these prophecies, succumb to fate, and abandon his former pursuits?
"No!" Isaac jolted, feeling an unprecedented power surge within him. The forces of fate and chaos began to intertwine, as if to tear the entire space apart. "I will not yield! I will find another path for the universe, and no matter how dark the future may be, I will not give up!"
He forced himself to regain his senses, concentrating all his strength in an attempt to resist the oppressive force of the universe. As his words faded, the dark images began to dissipate, but at the same time, a powerful force enveloped him once more. This force did not originate from the outside, but from within Isaac's own heart.
The landscape of fate and the forces of chaos clashed relentlessly, causing Isaac's consciousness to tremble violently. In this process, his body and mind underwent extreme trials, but simultaneously, he began to understand that those seemingly unchangeable destinies were merely hidden choices. And what he had to do was break through these choices and move towards a cosmic future that truly belonged to him.
Just as Isaac was regaining consciousness, the images before him began to clear. A strange symbol gradually emerged, belonging to no known language or culture, but a symbol transcending time and space. The appearance of the symbol seemed to represent some ultimate will of the universe, and Isaac was suddenly driven by an extremely strong intuition—this was not just a symbol, but the key to the future of the universe.
“You’ve finally seen it clearly.” The voice echoed in Isaac’s ears again, this time not as a threat or sarcasm, but with a tone of relief. “You understand now, Isaac. True destiny is not the predetermined end of the universe, but the path you choose to forge.”
Isaac's eyes snapped open, his heart pounding with turmoil. He knew he was facing no simple battle, but a profound choice on a cosmic level. He was not to destroy fate, nor to annihilate chaos, but to merge the two into one, creating a truly free and balanced universe.
However, this was no easy task. Every choice would alter the course of countless lives; every battle would impact the future of the entire universe. Isaac knew he had to shoulder this heavy responsibility, a responsibility that surpassed his power.
Isaac stood in the depths of the universe, before him an endless void. The once-brilliant stars were now blurred, and the structure of the universe seemed to be quietly crumbling. He knew that the new order he had created was not perfect. Countless cracks were silently spreading throughout the universe, devouring everything, and the original balance was being shattered.
Rising from the entanglements of fate and chaos, Isaac once believed he could control the course of the entire universe. But now, as the rift continues to widen, he realizes the path is not as simple as he foresaw. The universe's backlash comes from deeper rules and existence; forces beyond his comprehension are quietly influencing every corner of the cosmos.
The cracks were not merely fissures in physical space, but fractures in the very rules of the universe. Isaac understood that he had to act quickly to repair these cracks, or new catastrophes would erupt across the entire cosmos.
Isaac stepped into this unsettling cosmic rift. Violent tremors echoed through the void, as if every fragment of the starry sky was being torn apart. An indescribable darkness emanated from the rift, and Isaac could feel its powerful pull—it was not only drawing in the surrounding matter, but also devouring his soul.
He gathered the power of fate and chaos, attempting to use this energy to resist the erosion of the rift. However, a more powerful force seemed to be controlling the depths of the rift, devouring Isaac's energy and gradually leaving him feeling powerless.
“This power…” Isaac’s heart was filled with vigilance. “It does not belong to fate or chaos; it even transcends the fundamental laws of the universe!”
