Chapter 962

【Ding! You have successfully pieced together a fragment belonging to the "Administrator"!】

【After winning the struggle against the "Black Moon," the Administrator officially stepped onto the path of the "Transcendent," ascended to divinity, encountered and understood "anomalies" through cycle after cycle of reincarnation, and ultimately ascended to Supreme Divinity.】

【The Spear of the Unbeliever, the Broken God, the Twin Gods, Aaron Siegel and the Serpent, and even Calvin Desmet, were merely chess pieces chosen by the "Administrator" when manipulating fate.】

【"The Administrator" is the true "Overseer" of the Foundation, existing as an abstract concept of the "Transcendent," and is the key to the endless cycle between the Foundation and the Chaos Insurgency.】

【Ding! You will officially step into the realm of Supreme Divinity!】

【Celebrate! In yet another cycle, "The Administrator" will officially come online!】

【Ding! You have obtained "Understanding of Supreme Divinity: Meaninglessness."】

【Why does the Black Moon roar? This question is also completely meaningless!】

【Ding! You have obtained "SCP-262," the Multi-Armed Coat!】

【How could the true Administrator be without His classic coat skin?】

【Ding! You can now ascend, crossing the boundary between divinity and Supreme Divinity.】

Supreme Divinity... Bai Xuan felt very excited. He had always been curious about what this world and this universe looked like in the eyes of a Supreme Divinity.

After ascending to divinity and possessing omniscient and omnipotent authority, the universe seemed to have become his backyard, a beach where he could pile sandcastles at will.

He was no longer trapped by time or shackled by space, and he could even take March 7th, "Stelle," Asta, Herta, and others with him to travel through the gaps in space-time, touching the infinite and the eternal.

From a human perspective, divinity seemed to be already omnipotent.

But divinity also has its limits.

Compared to Supreme Divinity, divinity is the difference between the infinite and the infinite of the infinite.

Then let it begin... Bai Xuan's thoughts stirred, and he took a step out, leaving the universe, stepping into the primordial void, and standing on the treetops of the "Tree of Knowledge."

The next moment, the ascension officially began.

With a boom, Bai Xuan's body and soul shattered, turning into dust and annihilating into nothingness, yet He still maintained His self, retaining His personality and consciousness.

He watched this process happen irreversibly, experiencing this indescribable, ineffable pain.

It was like being in the middle of a surgery where the body is fully anesthetized, but the consciousness remains awake, and the senses are even more acute.

——He could feel every inch of his body, where the fine hairs were pressed underneath, where there was a subtle flow of air, where mites were crawling...

And at this moment, He watched His own flesh being cut open, watched His nerves being picked out, watched His internal organs being removed, and then began to be remodeled from the inside out.

He wanted to struggle, but His body was out of control; He wanted to howl, but His vocal cords no longer existed.

The next moment, infinite brilliance surged in, stirring up a storm on the "Tree of Knowledge" and causing turmoil in the primordial void.

That was all the knowledge related to the "Transcendent," all the power related to the "Transcendent."

These rays of light rippled, pulling at the essence belonging to Bai Xuan, fixing His soul floating in the void, slowly blending with it, and becoming one.

They seemed to have been a part of Bai Xuan all along; when they merged, instead of making Bai Xuan feel the pain of his consciousness being impacted by knowledge, there was an unusually intimate sense of familiarity.

At the same time, it was as if something had shattered, and the sands of memory flowed out, filling in all the blanks of the Administrator from before the existence of names to the victory over the "Black Moon."

Immediately afterward, all the knowledge previously stored in the system space turned into infinite light, immeasurable light, circling and condensing around him.

Among them were the meaninglessness of the "Black Moon," the five of the "Fifth Starfish," the life of the "Old Man of the Turbid Sea"...

They pierced through the barriers of the universe, extended into the primordial void, spread along the branches and roots of the "Tree of Knowledge," and pointed directly to the most essential concepts.

This seemed to happen in an instant, and yet it seemed to span the birth and extinction of countless universes.

Then, this brilliant ball of light filled with endless knowledge began to stretch, turning into a human figure, gradually reappearing as Bai Xuan.

Suddenly, everything ended, as if nothing had happened, and what had just occurred was merely negative self-suggestion, a hallucination under extreme pressure, a somatized pain.

But the changes in the world before his eyes told him that it was not a delusion, but a reality he had experienced firsthand.

It was just that the smaller infinity, in the face of a larger infinity, was reduced to zero, becoming a drop in the ocean.

The world in Bai Xuan's eyes seemed to have lost its existing form; everything had turned into the manifestation of various concepts, the incarnation of some philosophy descending into reality.

He himself was also in an incomparably mysterious state, seeming not to exist in any one place, yet also seeming to exist in all things.

He "felt" as if he had disappeared, turned into a metaphysical existence, and broken through the limitations of entities—matter, energy, time, space, memes, information, dimensions...

As long as the concept of the "Transcendent" is not pierced, then He is immortal and indestructible; even if His form is annihilated, He will be restored in the next infinitesimal instant.

"Is this Supreme Divinity?"

Bai Xuan did not stay outside the universe for too long; he returned to the universe, turned into an abstract concept, and came before the Imaginary Tree.

The universe in his eyes turned into a stack of countless concepts—End, Elation, Abundance, The Hunt, Permanence... some powerful, some weak, some bright, some dim.

Now, it is possible to solve the problem of the Vidyadhara's inability to reproduce, solving it from the root... Bai Xuan looked at the empty top of the "Permanence" Path and made up his mind.

But he was in no hurry to return; instead, he wandered on the Imaginary Tree for a while, searching for traces of Akivili, before returning to reality.

After returning to reality, Bai Xuan did not rush to leave the rift in time, but first checked the final system reward—"SCP-262."

【Object Class: Multi-Armed Coat】

【Item Number: SCP-262】

【Danger Level: Euclid】

【Item Description:】

【"SCP-262" is a light brown military-style coat made of wool, long enough to cover below the knees, with no special designs or markings on it.】

【Carbon dating results show that "SCP-262" is an item from 6,200 to 6,400 years ago.】

【One explanation for this phenomenon is that the wool used to make "SCP-262" is thousands of years old, but the coat itself was tailored, sewn, and assembled in recent years.】

【An individual wearing "SCP-262" only needs to open the coat to allow hands and arms controlled by the individual to emerge from the dark lining.】

【Most of the limbs that appear are human limbs, varying in skin color, length, and strength. Some special ones include:】

【·4-meter-long scaly tentacles resembling reptiles】

【·4 translucent fibrous appendages, over 10 meters long, with 4 fingers, 2 elbow-like joints, and no wrists】

【·Large feline claws, possibly belonging to a jaguar or cougar】

【Experiments have confirmed that "SCP-262" possesses perception and consciousness of the surrounding environment, even if the individual wearing "SCP-262" does not have such perception and consciousness:】
