Chapter 510: I Was Wrong

"Naive, stupid, and yet so arrogant." The Prophet's face was full of mockery.

"With just a tiny bit of guidance, you threw yourself into the fire like a moth, without a single step back."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! How truly interesting!"

"In all the universes I have invaded, this is the first time I have seen someone so welcoming to the Void."

These words from the Prophet left Karl, trapped within the purple energy, feeling dead inside.

Yet, he was unwilling to accept this.

However, even if he were unwilling, what could he do?

A long time ago, he had already done it.

He had already merged himself into the Void; the one appearing in the Universe was merely a projection.

The reason the Prophet could harm him was that the Prophet was also a creature of the Void.

But right now, Karl did not understand.

He had confirmed through various calculations that the Ultimate Fear was real, so why was the Void like this? Why did it look like an invader?

These various doubts, coupled with his intense unwillingness,

actually gave Karl a faint tendency to break free from the purple energy.

Seeing this scene, the Prophet narrowed his eyes slightly.

Then, he let out a cold laugh.

"Heh, let me think, how should I say this in the words of your Universe?"

"Oh, it should be that saying: 'One does not give up until they reach the Yellow River,' right?"

"Tsk, poor wretch, since you want to know the truth so badly, I might as well tell you."

"I bet you really want to know what the Ultimate Fear is!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Karl, who was still struggling, suddenly froze.

Seeing this, the Prophet understood that he had guessed correctly.

"Fine, since you are so pitiful, I will tell you what the Ultimate Fear is."

"The Ultimate Fear is a rule of the Universe, a rule established since the birth of the Universe; no one can escape this rule."

"And the essence of this rule is: extinction."

Karl, wrapped in energy, shuddered all over.

Extinction?

What a strange word.

No, it could not be called strange, either.

After all, he was the Death God; he just had not expected that the Universe itself could also die.

It was just that the Ultimate Fear he had calculated was clearly not like this, and furthermore, the arrival of the Void could surely save the Universe from the Ultimate Fear.

While Karl was puzzled,

the Prophet continued: "There are many ways for a universe to go extinct, such as the most common Heat Death, or the Big Rip, or perhaps the Big Crunch, and so on and so forth."

"These can all be collectively referred to as the Ultimate Fear."

"Just like us in the Void, what we in the Void face is this very outcome: Heat Death."

"The entropy of our universe is about to reach its maximum value, all effective energy in the universe has been converted into thermal energy, and the temperature of all matter has reached thermal equilibrium."

"In order to prevent this outcome from arriving, we came up with a good solution."

"Since there is no more effective energy in our universe, but other universes have it, so, we embarked on the path of plundering other universes."

"Tsk, to this day we have forgotten how many universes we have plundered; I only know that we are still not far from the threat of Heat Death."

At this moment, Karl, wrapped in purple energy, was stunned.

Heat Death? Big Rip? Big Crunch?

What were those things?

They really felt so foreign.

However, these things happened to coincide with certain things in his own academic research.

Just as Karl was thinking,

the Prophet suddenly let out a long, slightly mocking sigh.

"Sigh~"

"Under our long-term plundering, all universes avoid us, yet only you, this fool, were willing to entrust your true body to the Void after just two sentences of guidance."

"And then willingly opened the Universe Gate to let the Void arrive."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, sometimes I really wonder if the people in your Universe are all primitive people?"

"Anyone with a bit of knowledge knows that the Ultimate Fear is unavoidable; one can only delay it, but it is impossible to truly avoid it."

"However, it seems now that your Universe is not without knowledge, but rather that knowledge in this regard is strictly controlled."

"Which is what is called a Knowledge Monopoly."

After saying so much in one breath, the Prophet stopped.

In his past plundering,

he rarely said so much at once; this was the most he had ever spoken in history.

Having long been a creature of the Void, he even felt a bit parched at this moment.

After a brief silence, the Prophet clapped his hands.

"Alright, everything that needed to be said has been said. Next, you can go on your way in peace. Come, become a puppet!"

After speaking, Void Energy poured into the Universe Gate like a tide, and all this Void Energy came to Karl's side.

At this moment, Karl had already given up struggling.

Knowing the truth, his heart was now as dead as ashes.

Knowledge being monopolized was not the most terrifying thing.

The most terrifying thing was... Karl knew who had monopolized the knowledge.

It was his most respected teacher, Tai Kong.

Karl still remembered that ever since he met Principal Tai Kong, all the knowledge he had learned was Classical Physics.

Until that day, he discovered a completely different kind of science.

But the result he got was a warning, saying that all his current research was futile, all of it was trash.

He did not care about this; instead, he felt that the knowledge he was learning now was interesting.

He could study it in depth.

However, this research led to the conclusion of the Ultimate Fear.

Later... later...

Karl's consciousness had begun to blur.

But at the final moment, he suddenly woke up.

He could die, but he could not die so cowardly.

He had been deceived, and he must expose this scam.

And the only person in the world who could understand him was probably... Ye Cang.

Yes, Ye Cang.

That guy... was a scholar just like him.

A qualified scholar.

He entrusted everything he had to him, and he felt very at ease.

Without hesitation, Karl mobilized his last bit of energy, packed the Grand Clock and his final testament together, and through positioning,

he located Ge Xiaolun's Gene Terminal.

In the end, the Grand Clock and Karl's final testament turned into a meteor and disappeared into the Dark Plane.

And Ge Xiaolun, who was currently fleeing, suddenly received a notification from his Male Core.

"Unknown gift and a voice message detected."

Ge Xiaolun originally did not want to pay attention to these.

But the voice message automatically opened at this moment.

"Ge Xiaolun, it's me, I am Karl."

"Leave here quickly, go to the Chiwu Star System, find Ye Cang, I have been deceived."

"Now the Void has descended, Ye Cang will be the last hope of this Universe, go find him."

"Give him my Grand Clock, this is the only thing I can do; when he receives the Grand Clock, he will understand everything."

"Go, Ge Xiaolun."
