Chapter 367: Fate Woven Like a Tapestry

The intense loneliness of the Dream Reincarnation also shrouds Lin Chuan in reality.

That feeling is truly unbearable.

Everywhere I look is desolation; I am the only one in the world.

Lin Chuan dares not ponder it; if such a thing truly occurred, what a tragedy it would be.

"Reforge Reincarnation with that new Living World?"

"Is it meaningful?"

At least Lin Chuan cannot comprehend the Dream Reincarnation's actions at this moment.

Doing so is no different from Black Mist.

This is the true meaning of destiny that Black Mist mentioned: when one attains the strongest achievement and stands alone in the world, one will lose oneself under the endless Shikong's torment, arriving at this step?

"No!"

At least the current Lin Chuan cannot accept it.

He immediately used the Dream Reincarnation Major Event Interaction Opportunity.

…

【When you are about to step into that fragment of the Living Realm, Rumeng's voice sounds at your ear again.】

【You held back.】

【You once again left that Living World.】

【In the Boundless Chaos of the Chaos Universe, the concept of time has long vanished, yet the world in one's heart can never be forgotten.】

【After a long while, you returned there again.】

【You once more extended a demonic claw.】

…

Lin Chuan's head is full of question marks.

"Again?"

Can this Dream Reincarnation ever end?

Lin Chuan has to activate the Major Event Interaction Opportunity again.

…

【As you approach that Living World, a familiar aura awakens you, causing you to halt your thoughts once more.】

【You admonish yourself that you must never take that step.】

【Once you walk that path, you can never turn back; you will become a dark shadow, breaking the pact with everyone.】

【But…】

【Even the most steadfast consciousness has days when it is permeated by time.】

【What about Longevity?】

【Your soul will ultimately be ended in the conflict of self.】

【You! Once again you stand before that Living World.】

【You once again extend a demonic claw.】

…

Lin Chuan is bewildered?

Is this trapped in an endless loop?

Could the future Dream Reincarnation never end?

Or does one need to unlock some hidden stage to finish it?

Must the Living World be destroyed? To brew the tragedy one once most wished never to see, by one's own hand?

Lin Chuan does not want to do that.

He can only use the Major Event Interaction Opportunity once more.

But this is merely the start of another cycle.

…

【Time drifts lazily.】

【Your evil thought stirs again.】

【You extend a demonic claw.】

…

If it happened once or twice, it would be understandable; repeating it like this proves that dragging it out will inevitably occur.

This moment is the time of decision.

Lin Chuan looks at the system's achievement compendium.

So far, all daily and rare achievements of the future Dream Reincarnation have been lit.

The nine most important special achievements have also had eight illuminated.

Only the last one remains.

Perhaps the final outcome of the Dream Reincarnation, whether one can obtain the "Mysterious Reward", depends on this last step.

All of this hinges on Lin Chuan's choice.

"What can I do now?"

Lin Chuan begins to contemplate.

If it's merely to stop it, the final result will not change.

He must do something that reverses it.

"Perhaps the only thing I can do is end myself, and once more incarnate through Reincarnation?"

"If it is merely the destruction of the soul, will the dark shadow awaken again in my Physical Body?"

This is a question Lin Chuan must consider.

He thinks it is highly possible.

The dark shadow never truly perished; it has merely been hidden somewhere, and a slight misstep could awaken it.

"Then let's try it."

Lin Chuan makes the decision.

……

【You sit amid the universe's starry sky.】

【You begin to analyze your body and Immortal Soul.】

【"True eternal life?"】

【"The true meaning of destiny?"】

【"Heh heh!"】

【Dust returns to dust, earth to earth; you decide to completely disintegrate yourself, return to the Chaos Universe, granting yourself a death of true significance.】

【Even your True Spirit is destroyed, never entering Reincarnation again.】

【You let the flesh of your body fade away bit by bit.】

【After they fully transform into a part of the Myriad Ways of the Chaos Universe, you then proceed to the next step.】

【Unaware of how long has passed, your body has become so weak it cannot bear your massive soul power, and it begins to collapse on its own.】

【Your soul also begins to fade.】

【Ultimately it falls into an irreversible trend.】

【In other words, you will forever remain silent here, becoming part of the Chaos Universe.】

【"Crazy! You're crazy!!"】

【At that moment, a voice sounded in your mind.】

【"It's been so long, yet we still cannot escape the sinking of the Way of the Living, just one step away! Why?!"】

【"As long as you go to that Living World, our destinies will converge."】

【"Then you will find true eternity!"】

【"We! Should have risen above the Great Dao!"】

【You have spent endless ages alone in the Chaos Universe, never speaking with any living being, yet you still remember this voice.】

【The former An Ying Zhu, the Dark Shadow Master you personally slew with Forbidden power, still exists.】

【Right within your body.】

【Or rather, your entire body was forged from the power of the Dark Shadow Master.】

【You are the master of souls; it is the ever‑flourishing breath of the living, the fruit it devoured after consuming three Living World realms.】

【It gave the fruit to you, hoping you would merge into one, breaking through higher shackles.】

【You smiled, "Good, I guessed it."】

【"You think erasing yourself means you've won?"】

【The Dark Shadow Master roared, "Wrong! When you vanish from this universe, a new Living World will be born, eventually becoming another me."】

【"My Dao! Eternal!"】

【"Even after Reincarnating billions of times, the final result will never differ."】

【"Either you become the dark shadow, endlessly evolving in this Chaos Universe, or you remain a solitary soul, enduring countless cycles of living beings' sinking and suffering."】

【"In the end! You will still become me!"】

【"I will! Always waiting for you at destiny's end! No matter how many times it comes!!"】

【The dark shadow finally dissipated.】

【This time, it truly vanished completely.】

【But for you, your life also reached its end; you never fulfilled the promise to Rumeng, walking alone onward.】

【As for what the Dark Shadow Master said, it now holds no meaning.】

【Heaven and Earth shattered, Reincarnation ceased.】

【Even if you are the overseer of Reincarnation, so what?】

【You watch your own soul gradually drift into the Chaos Universe.】

【Congratulations, you have unlocked the special achievement — Fate Woven.】

【In the final moment of life, you saw a speck of green light in the dark universe, drifting like a firefly.】
