Chapter 381

As the invitation of the "Original Mistake" fell, Sun Wukong's world before his eyes suddenly changed!

That indescribable monster, that graveyard where gods and demons lie everywhere, that Yao, covered in wounds all over...

Everything vanished in an instant.

In its place was an absolutely "real" scroll that cannot be described in any words.

This is not an illusion.

This is the "Original Mistake", forcibly dragging his consciousness into the universe's sole, ultimate future!

Here, there is no sound, no light, no time.

Sun Wukong saw the last Star, after struggling for eons, finally exhaust its last light and heat, like a burnt-out candle, quietly extinguishing.

The last unwilling particle, in the endless void, completed its final meaningless vibration, then fell into eternal stillness.

Entropy increase reached its end.

The entire Multiverse, all struggles, all resistances, all loves and hatreds, all brilliant civilizations...

Everything welcomed a grand and equal death.

This is neither war nor destruction.

This is a cold funeral called "Heat Death".

In this ultimate void, there is no struggle, no reluctance, no meaning.

Everything returned to that most primitive, most fair, most tranquil "Nothing".

"Did you see that?"

The voice of the "Original Mistake" rang out in this ultimate Deathly Silence, carrying a deadly temptation as if from the far shore of truth.

"This is the end."

"No matter how you struggle, no matter how many miracles you create, no matter how many game boards you overturn..."

"This is the sole, inevitable outcome."

"All your efforts, all your guarding, all your unyielding..."

It spoke in a pitying tone, as if looking at a pitiful worm, slowly.

"All, meaningless."

These words, like an invisible heavy hammer, fiercely struck Sun Wukong's 【Chaos Realm Monkey Heart】!

Meaningless!

Yeah, if the ending is destined to be this Deathly Silence, what were all his previous deeds?

A self-righteous, ridiculous farce?

"No!"

"Not entirely a farce."

The "Original Mistake" seemed to have seen through all his thoughts, shifting tone to show him another possibility filled with "compassion".

"If you join me."

The scene suddenly changed!

Sun Wukong saw countless Living Beings suffering in reincarnation, struggling in war, wailing in despair; their faces suddenly showed utter peace and utter relief smiles.

No pain, no struggle.

They simply peacefully, tranquilly, before falling into that endless painful reincarnation, were early "corrected".

They early arrived at that eternal tranquil endpoint.

They, early obtained this ultimate liberation!

"We can accelerate this process."

The voice of the "Original Mistake" carried a bewitching power.

"Let these pitiful Living Beings, bound by 'existence', be spared the lengthy, meaningless suffering process."

"Let them directly embrace the final, and also happiest, tranquility."

"Sun Wukong..."

Its voice seemed to turn into the chant of billions of believers, constructing a magnificent, sacred hall deep in Sun Wukong's Línghún.

"You will no longer be that fighter who opposes the world and brings endless conflict."

"You will be the sage who brings eternal peace to the Universe!"

"You will be the most compassionate terminator who ends all suffering!"

This temptation is unprecedented!

It does not oppress with force, nor deceive with words.

It uses an icy, absolute, indisputable "cosmic truth", from the root, completely negating all value of "resistance".

It tells Sun Wukong, your resistance will only prolong the suffering of all beings.

But compliance is truly the great compassion!

Boom!

Sun Wukong's just reforged, touted as inviolable by all laws and indestructible 【Chaos Realm Monkey Heart】, at this moment, actually... violently trembled!

His inner 【Chaos Dao】 also underwent a terrifying upheaval!

The gray power representing 【Order】 frantically told him: This is right! The universe's ultimate should indeed be absolute order, absolute stillness!

The black power representing 【Negation】 also excitedly howled: This is right! "Existence" itself is error, ought to be corrected, returning to "Nothing"!

The two Dao, snatched from enemies and forming the foundation of his power, at this moment actually simultaneously chose betrayal!

They are frantically urging Sun Wukong!

Agree with it!

Join it!

Become it!

This is the most 'correct' path!

Sun Wukong's body began to tremble uncontrollably.

His eyes, which fused three ultimate powers—Chaos Realm eyes—also began to flicker violently.

Sometimes, it is the icy cold of 【Order】.

Sometimes, it is the deathly silence of 【Negation】.

Only that tiny bit of crimson‑gold representing the 【Variable】 is still making its final, weakest struggle!

From a logical standpoint, the 'Original Mistake' is correct.

The law of entropy increase is an ironclad rule etched into this universe from the moment of its birth, impossible to defy!

He cannot win.

Nobody can win.

This battle was doomed from the start.

"No... don't..."

"Wukong! Don't listen to it!"

In the real world, Yao watched Sun Wukong's violent struggle, his eyes seeming ready to be devoured at any moment, and let out a heart‑wrenching cry!

She didn't know what entropy increase was, nor what heat death was.

All she knew was that the familiar Sun Wukong was drifting away from her!

That unyielding, law‑defying Great Sage Equal to Heaven who dared to pierce a hole in Heaven itself is being swayed by a cold 'Principle'!

She could feel how that 'eternal peace' possessed a deadly allure for any soul exhausted from endless slaughter!

"Come back... please come back quickly!"

Yao shouted desperately, trying to use her voice to pull Sun Wukong out of that mire of truth!

But it was useless.

Sun Wukong seemed completely unable to hear.

His body trembled more and more severely.

The struggle in his eyes also grew ever weaker.

That crimson‑gold light was being frenziedly devoured and assimilated by gray and black!

The hand of the 'Original Mistake,' composed of stars and laws, still hovered silently before him.

It is not in a hurry.

It has plenty of patience.

Because it knows that no 'rational' life can refuse this invitation, the most 'correct' one from the end of the universe.

Time, it seemed, had frozen.

Yao's cries gradually turned into desperate sobs.

She watched helplessly as the last strand of crimson‑gold in Sun Wukong's eyes was about to extinguish.

She knew that the moment that light vanished completely, the Sun Wukong she knew would die forever.

In its place would be a being that had embraced 'Conclusion,' a brand‑new and most terrifying 'Error'.

Wanshen Fenchang, a silence as still as death.

Sun Wukong fell silent.

He remained silent for a long time.

So long that Yao had fallen into utter despair.

So long that the 'Original Mistake' assumed he had made the 'correct' choice.

Finally.

Sun Wukong's violently trembling body gradually calmed.

He slowly, slowly lifted his head.

In those Chaos Realm eyes, all struggle and conflict had vanished.

In its place was a hitherto unknown, pure calm.
