Chapter 144: Dao's Myriad Transformations, the Universe's 'Dao Seed

The Entropy Demon God, curled up in the void, gasped violently.

Being treated as an energy source by the Heaven's Net, it had been drained for countless eons.

It had long since been completely depleted.

Had it not been for Sun Wukong's arrival, which made the Heaven's Net collapse and stop drawing.

I'm afraid, not much longer.

It would then be completely squeezed dry, even the last trace of its true spirit would cease to exist.

It had lingered for a very long time, a very long time.

So long that even Yao grew a bit impatient.

Only then did it finally gather up, bit by bit, some strength.

It lifted its head, using those turbid eyes to look at Sun Wukong.

In its gaze lay a kind of indescribable, inexplicable complex emotion.

That seemed like mutual pity between fellow survivors of the old era.

And also carried reverence for the ruler of the new era.

This... this aura...

The Entropy Demon God's voice, broken and intermittent, was like a candle in the wind.

It... it is... 'Void'...

It... that exalted one... when they fell...

Bestowed... upon me... a sliver of vitality...

Fell?!

Boom!!!

These two words were like two bolts, containing world-destroying might, Chaos Divine Thunder!

They struck fiercely upon Sun Wukong's divine soul!

He had just had his hope extinguished.

At this moment, even his entire sanity was utterly blown to pieces by those two words!

A surge of indescribable, frenzied killing intent shot up from within Sun Wukong's body!

The black-gold Equal Heaven Dao Rhythm instantly boiled!

What! Did! You! Say!

Sun Wukong seized the Entropy Demon God's throat in one grip!

He kicked its mountain-like massive body hard into mid-air!

The terrifying force made the Entropy Demon God's entire skeleton groan under the strain!

Say it again!

In Sun Wukong's golden eyes burned a mad flame capable of consuming the multiverse!

Master... he...

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

He refused to believe!

He could not believe that the Master, who had schemed through the ages and toyed with the Pantheon Lord as if in the palm of his hand!

Would fall!

Cough... cough...

The Entropy Demon God, choked by him, was almost about to fall into slumber again.

It painstakingly raised a hand and pointed to its own head.

Yao, watching from the side, felt her heart tremble with fear.

Monkey Brother! Stay calm!

It... it seems to have something to say!

Sun Wukong abruptly turned his head and glared fiercely at Yao.

That gaze made Yao feel as if her very divine soul were about to be torn apart!

But she still forced herself to shout out!

Sun Wukong's chest heaved violently.

He eventually still slowly released his grip.

Before Sun Wukong could ask again.

The Entropy Demon God then seemed to see through his thoughts.

Using a hurried yet weak voice, it continued to explain.

No... not... what you understand as 'death'...

That exalted one... was... was voluntary...

He... transformed himself into... the cornerstone of the new universe...

It began, haltingly, to recount an unknown, earth-shattering secret.

As it turned out.

When the Bodhi Patriarch embodied the Void, using himself to achieve that moment of this brand-new multiverse.

His supreme Void Grand Dao, representing the end of all things.

And thus it collapsed.

Sun Wukong's heart suddenly jerked!

Great Dao collapsing?

Then, what's the difference between that and dying, the Dao vanishing?!

"But... but not disappearing..."

The Entropy Demon God seemed able to perceive every thought of Sun Wukong.

"But rather... but rather, it turned into... billions of... invisible to the naked eye... Dao Seeds..."

"Randomly... scattered... in this brand‑new Multiverse that he personally created... every... corner!"

Dao Seed?

Sun Wukong was stunned.

"Those Dao Seeds..."

"They are Debris of the Void..."

"Also... the signpost left by that elder!"

The Entropy Demon God sighed and continued.

"They... will combine with the native rules of the Universe they reside in..."

"Then, they fall into slumber..."

"Waiting..."

"Waiting to be awakened by someone who possesses qualification!"

"And I..."

The Entropy Demon God pointed at itself.

"I am... one of the lucky ones..."

"At the final moment of the old Universe's destruction..."

"I... luckily captured a single, extremely weak Dao Seed..."

"Only then could I retain a sliver of true spirit in this brand‑new Universe..."

"Not completely Formatting..."

Having heard all this.

Sun Wukong was completely stunned on the spot.

Yao also opened her mouth wide, unable to close it for a long time.

She shattered her own Great Dao into billions of pieces.

Then, like scattering seeds, she spread it across the entire Multiverse?

This...

What an unfathomably bizarre stroke?!

And this, what a heaven‑defying scheme?!

Sun Wukong understood.

He finally fully comprehended!

Master is not dead!

He didn't deceive me, Old Sun!

He just used another method that he himself cannot yet understand.

It exists!

He transformed into countless selves!

They scattered across this chessboard that he personally created!

And what he must do.

Is to, like back then on the Xi Xing Lu, search for those Masters taken by monsters.

Gather these scattered Dao Seeds.

One.

One by one.

Retrieve them all!

Let Master return anew!

"Hoo—"

Sun Wukong exhaled a long breath of foul vapor.

The vapor was as black as ink.

It seemed to expel all the confusion, emptiness, and despair in his heart at once!

His back straightened again!

His gaze no longer wavered in the slightest!

His Equal Heaven Great Dao again began to blaze fiercely in an unprecedented manner!

The quest for Master!

From this moment on!

Finally, there is an incredibly clear and definite direction!

"You did well."

Sun Wukong, looking at the Entropy Demon God before him, for the first time showed a Recognition expression.

He flicked his finger.

A strand of extremely pure black-gold Dao Rhythm entered the entropy demon god's body.

In an instant, its Primordial Source, on the brink of collapse, was repaired.

This is your reward.

Sun Wukong said lightly.

Now, tell me.

In his eyes, a flame reignited, hotter and brighter than the star at the core of the Universe!

The next Dao Seed.

Where is it?
