Chapter 1711: Non-existent Record

Seeing this scene, Chen Ling's heart immediately skipped a beat!

The Lord of Spirit Void was already dead, why could the Akashic Tower still have a reaction? Could it be that this was also a part of the Lord of Spirit Void's deduction, and he actually hadn't died?!

One must know, the current Chen Ling was already approaching his limit. His body had long been beaten into pieces. If it weren't for the red paper temporarily connecting his torn limbs together, he probably wouldn't even be able to maintain a human form... If the Lord of Spirit Void was still not dead, and his trump cards had already been exhausted, then he basically had no hope of turning the tables.

One dark blue galaxy halo after another rippled out from beneath the Lord of Spirit Void's corpse. Flickering, they swept toward the tower body above. The entire Akashic Tower seemed to have turned into a super photonic computer. The flickering of every halo was a massive calculation.

Chen Ling's brows furrowed tightly. He cautiously prepared to think of a way to leave here, but in the next second, his figure plummeted again!

Scenes and images flashed past Chen Ling's surroundings. He seemed to be placed in an absolutely real immersive theater. Countless lights and shadows reversed upward like a time tunnel...

When the image before Chen Ling's eyes completely froze, his entire person was already placed within a tall tower.

It was still the Akashic Tower.

However, it was not the tower in the Imaginary Number World where Chen Ling was, but the tower body truly existing in the Spirit Void Domain... At this time, the tower body seemed to not have been fully constructed yet, and the top was not completely sealed.

Up until now, the Lord of Spirit Void had attempted to communicate with the Akashic Tower a total of two times, and both times ended in failure.

The first failure caused the people's resentment in the Spirit Void Domain to show initial signs. At that time, Chen Ling had just come out from the Ancient Vault of the Ghost Path;

The second failure caused the people's resentment in the Spirit Void Domain and the other two domains to completely boil over. It was precisely because the Lord of Hidden Clouds endured immense pressure to transport personnel to the Lord of Spirit Void that it led to the subsequent destruction of the Hidden Clouds Domain...

From the degree of completion of the tower body, the time period Chen Ling was in right now was precisely when the Lord of Spirit Void tried to communicate with the Akashic Records for the second time.

Sure enough, right after Chen Ling thought of this, the gate of the Akashic Tower behind him slowly opened...

A figure wearing a clean monk robe walked straight toward here.

Seeing the Lord of Spirit Void, Chen Ling's body instantly went taut. But the other party seemed to just be a residual image of the past, fundamentally not noticing Chen Ling's existence. He walked to the center of the Akashic Tower, took a deep breath, and his brows revealed unprecedented anxiety and gravity.

He stood alone in silence there for a long time, as if adjusting his mindset. Finally, he raised his hand and pointed toward the void in front of him.

The Akashic Tower of the Imaginary Number World gradually overlapped with the real tower body. Dark blue halos swept upward from the bottom of the tower. The Lord of Spirit Void once again tossed out numerous coins, and every coin bizarrely stood upright on the ground.

In the void behind him, a line of numbers madly jumped!

10%... 20%... 30%...

Chen Ling roughly knew the Lord of Spirit Void's method of connecting with the Akashic Records. It was by tampering with probability itself, continuously stacking the possibility of connecting his personal consciousness to the Akashic Records... In the Lord of Spirit Void's view, as long as he could connect to the Akashic Records, he could see all possibilities in the universe, thereby finding a way to destroy the Red Star.

As the shaking magnitude of the entire tower body became larger and larger, the probability falsified by the Lord of Spirit Void was still continuously rising!

50%...

60%...

70%...

Different from starting hastily in a semi-finished state last time, the Akashic Tower this time was almost in its most perfect form. It quickly broke through the probability limit of last time, and was still continuously rising!

80%... 85%... 90%!

The Lord of Spirit Void's face was as pale as paper, and crimson fresh blood flowed out from his seven apertures. Yet he didn't have the slightest intention of stopping. He glared with those bloodshot pupils, as if wanting to bet his life and fight the Akashic Records to the bitter end!

92%... 94%... 96%... 98%...

99%!!

Rumble——!!

The Akashic Tower let out a loud noise, and hideous cracks surfaced on the inner wall.

The Lord of Spirit Void violently spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his entire person falling to the ground as if losing all strength... The phantom of probability behind him also instantly disappeared without a trace!

The body of the Akashic Tower collapsed again. Densely packed crushed stones fell from the sky. Crushed stones mixed with lime fell onto the Lord of Spirit Void's back, who was paralyzed on the ground like mud. His weak coughing sounds sounded one after another.

At this moment, this final tyrant of humanity was like a wretched dead dog, lying motionless on the ground.

He was dumbfounded.

He watched helplessly as the Akashic Tower collapsed before his eyes for the second time, countless crushed stones rolling onto the earth. Unprecedented bewilderment surfaced in his eyes...

"Why..."

"How could it be like this..."

"The probability was clearly already infinitely high... Why can I still not perceive the Akashic Records?!"

"I've already reached this extent! Why did I still not see anything?!!!"

At this moment, the Lord of Spirit Void seemed to have completely broken down. He painfully grabbed his messy black hair with both hands, completely disregarding his splitting headache, and roared hysterically within the Akashic Tower.

Chen Ling looked at the Lord of Spirit Void with furrowed brows. Just recently, he had seen someone reveal an expression extremely similar to the Lord of Spirit Void at this time.

That was the Lord of Wuji who failed in his pursuit of eternity.

Bewilderment, despair, pain, questioning... The gaze of the Lord of Spirit Void, who discovered he couldn't connect to the Akashic Records, was exactly the same as the Lord of Wuji when he discovered eternity was fundamentally impossible to achieve.

That was the pain of the final possibility pursued at all costs being completely negated. It was the despair of bearing too many expectations and pressure, yet ultimately crashing into a dead-end wall.

The Lord of Spirit Void knelt in place having broken down for a long time. Only then did he seem to have realized something, and like a mosquito's murmur, softly opened his mouth:

"The Akashic Records..."

"Fundamentally do not exist?"

The Lord of Spirit Void had already raised the probability to infinity, yet still couldn't perceive the Akashic Records. Then there was only one possibility... In the universe, the so-called Akashic Records fundamentally did not exist.

Even if the probability was raised to 99%, how could one connect to something that fundamentally didn't exist??

But if the Akashic Records didn't exist...

Then what did all his efforts up to now count for??

What did the last resort he pinned all his hopes on, thinking he could find a way to destroy the Red Star, count for?!

Seeing this scene, the doubt in Chen Ling's heart became even denser... If the past before his eyes was real, then the Lord of Spirit Void actually had already realized the Akashic Records didn't exist during his second failure. This was fundamentally a dead end...

Then why did he still reconstruct the Akashic Tower for the third time regardless of the cost?
