Chapter 2020: with translation of chapter title

This operation immediately caused the collapse of the entire River Chart.

A star cluster deviated from its original course and was moved to a new position; consequently, the entire universe would also change.

Those "forces" temporarily lost balance, becoming utterly chaotic.

A star cluster was attracted and collided with another star cluster.

The world simulated in the sea of consciousness had no sound, but at this moment Xiao Feng could imagine tens of thousands of galaxies like the Milky Way moving at high speed, colliding and exploding, forming a terrifying great destruction.

A single super-large meteorite could destroy the surface of Blue Star; an asteroid impact could completely annihilate Blue Star, and a solar explosion would turn the surrounding planets into dust.

But now it is tens of thousands of galaxies colliding!

Each galaxy contains hundreds of millions of stars like the sun!

What's more terrifying is that, with the occurrence of the first collision, the "force" maintaining balance became even more chaotic; all star clusters were pulled, began to deviate from their orbits, and approached other star clusters.

The second, third, fourth… collisions…

Collisions occurred one after another; the star clusters in the sea of consciousness dwindled, while chaos increased.

After a period of time, chaos also neared its end, leaving only two enormous masses of matter approaching each other, rotating, and carrying out the final great collision.

In the silent world, it seemed as if a deafening roar rang out.

The two enormous masses of matter, each gathering all celestial bodies, collided, surging back and forth.

Finally… it returned to calm.

Xiao Feng's Divine Sense examined the final product in his sea of consciousness.

It was an enormous mass of matter, not a planet, not a galaxy, but a lump of indeterminate substance, coalesced into a single body, seeming huge, and

yet it seemed not large at all.

He knew his knowledge was still insufficient to perfectly simulate the final outcome of celestial collisions.

This could be a supergalaxy so vast it is unimaginable, or a black hole so dense it is inconceivable.

But no matter what, it stabilized.

"The River Chart is stable, and condensing into a point after an explosion is also stable, but… the difference between the two is great." Xiao Feng thought.

No matter how things are manipulated, all things will eventually balance; this is a fundamental law of the universe.

And under this premise, balance also has many types.

The River Chart symbolizes a prosperous balance.

The one condensed into a point symbolizes the balance after destruction.

Xiao Feng continued the deduction.

He realized that the thing in his sea of consciousness would become incredibly heavy as matter gathered, forming an unprecedented supermassive black hole.

Then…

As the deduction proceeded, this extremely dense object crushed cosmic space, causing the "space source substance" to collapse.

It… fell out!

"The Creator God said there are universes beyond the universe. Chen Jie said that source qi of all things would automatically escape into higher-dimensional worlds, becoming food for higher-dimensional life. So… this super black hole would also collapse into a solid mass of source qi of all things, flee out, and be devoured." Xiao Feng secretly thought.

Source qi of all things cannot exist within material space normally; the virtual universe could still explain this as illusion, but the real world is different—once source qi of all things arises, its particle structure, many times smaller than a quark, will directly slip through the gaps of the "space source substance" that forms cosmic space and escape into higher-dimensional realms.

But…

Because Chen Jie's father became the Lord of the Universe, he blocked all matter from entering or exiting, and added a layer of the Universe Lord's original will outside the space source substance, so the source qi of all things would be intercepted, escape failing; this is why Xiao Feng can occasionally employ special means in the real world.

Without the protection of the Lord of the Universe, a supermassive black hole would be like a ripe fruit falling from the material universe and be devoured by the higher-dimensional life outside.

Seen this way, it doesn't seem very "stable".

Or rather, stability is still relative; the matter that disappears from the material universe being devoured by higher-dimensional life is, from the perspective of the higher-dimensional world, merely "small fish eating shrimp," and for the whole river, there is no loss of matter.

Thinking of this, Xiao Feng fell into contemplation again.

"A few days ago, in the Origin Mi Jing, I battled my past self and comprehended the Absolute Domain. If I could strengthen this domain and turn it into a super black hole that gathers all things, that would be good."

The stability of the River Chart during its prosperous period is, for him, somewhat too complex; lacking sufficient willpower makes it hard to apply in combat.

Whereas pure consumption and destruction are much simpler.

After all, creation is difficult, destruction easy.

Xiao Feng sat motionless in thought, while the Enlightenment deduction continued.

He focused wholeheartedly, even stopping all other tasks that he usually multitasked.

Unbeknownst to him, a long time had passed.

As the deduction proceeded, Xiao Feng gradually realized that to become a super black hole, he first needed to possess an enormous enough "force"!

A tiny meteorite cannot attract stars to orbit around it; once it approaches, it will only fall into the star and be annihilated.

Black

The hole is also like that.

Its material volume may be small, but its mass is enormously excessive, its density countless times that of ordinary matter, which is why some black holes can swallow stars and even galaxies.

Xiao Feng himself is only at the God King Realm; even with abundant divine power, his total amount is merely on par with some lowly primordial gods, far inferior to a Venerable. To devour a Venerable's power seems utterly impossible.

But… he still has willpower!

Willpower is a soul-dimension law that transcends matter, a significant "external force."

One only needs to use this "external force" to drive, to gather and attract all things, to collapse and devour; the attraction of his tiny black hole can then increase geometrically, erupting with force far surpassing his own.

Ordinary humans in melee cannot beat tigers, leopards, or wolves, but with a shotgun in hand, it's not necessarily so!

Of course… it's still that old problem: the consumption of willpower will be great.

Originally, activating the Absolute Domain already consumes a lot of mental power; if upgraded to a "super black hole," it is estimated that even with his current initial God King–level will, he could only maintain it for a short while.

Xiao Feng simulated and deduced this method in his sea of consciousness, analyzing its feasibility.

While referring to the process of the River Chart's starry sky going from stability to destruction, he himself carried out replication.

After an unknown period, he gradually came to understand, evolving the devouring method of the super black hole into his own means.

Xiao Feng opened his eyes.

The Hidden Mystic Venerable, Hidden Spirit Venerable, and Hidden Void Venerable were still sitting there, motionless.

Xun Shuang Xianzi had already risen, going to the edge of the summit of Star Realm Mountain, sitting with her back to this side, gazing at the distant Xing Kong.

"How long have I been contemplating?" he asked.

Hidden Mystic Venerable replied: "Two

months."

Xiao Feng: ……

Just a single contemplation, and yet that much time has passed!

He had thought it would be at most three or five days, never expecting the process of deducing the laws to take so much time!

Xun Shuang Xianzi sensed the fluctuation of his Divine Sense, rose, and looked over.

"What have you comprehended?" she asked.

Xiao Feng nodded slightly.

The three venerables had actually finished their contemplation as well, merely waiting for him.

Seeing his reaction, the three elders rose and retreated some distance, Hidden Mystic Venerable saying, "May I ask you to demonstrate your insight?"

Xiao Feng nodded slightly.

With a tap of his foot, he rose into the air, leaving the summit of Star Realm Mountain.

"I fear I might accidentally destroy this place. You four, follow me and attack me with all your strength." Xiao Feng said to the three venerables and Xun Shuang.
