Chapter 553: Crossing the Crack in the Void - Feng Jing's Arrival
Through the Crack in the Void——The Arrival of Feng Jing
Feng Jing's consciousness had escaped the constraints of his original universe and entered a completely indescribable dimension. The surrounding void was shapeless, colorless, and even without perceptible time and space. Feng Jing began to realize that he seemed to be standing on an endless "nothingness." The "crack" that had once shocked him was no longer a simple physical space, but an existence that even he could not understand - it belonged to neither time nor space. It was both nothingness and existence, the starting point and end point of all things.
"What...is this place?" Feng Jing whispered to himself, his voice swallowed by the void, even the echo vanishing without a trace. He had once believed he had grasped the core of his destiny, even felt he could transcend everything. But now, facing this formless space, he felt incredibly insignificant, as if floating in an endless abyss, unable to grasp or comprehend anything.
Suddenly, a ray of light penetrated the void. The light was not dazzling, but it carried an irresistible force that penetrated Feng Jing's soul directly. Feng Jing instinctively wanted to dodge, but his body seemed to be bound by some force and could not move.
"Feng Jing..." The mysterious voice sounded again, but this time, it was no longer cold, but carried a deep sadness. "You have entered a truly unknown realm, where even the rules of fate cannot bind you. All the reincarnations you have experienced, all the universes, are but a vast illusion, and the real world is right before your eyes."
Feng Jing's heart trembled, and he unconsciously lowered his head to look at the source of the light before him. He saw a face, filled with an ancient and mysterious aura, a being he could not comprehend. The man's eyes seemed to encompass the entire universe; all light, shadow, life, and death seemed to surge within them. A deep sense of fear rose within Feng Jing. This face made him feel smaller and more powerless than ever before.
"Who are you?" Feng Jing's voice trembled a little. He felt that he was about to face some existence that he had never encountered before.
"I am the guardian of this void," the man's voice echoed in Feng Jing's ears like the sound of an ancient bell. "You thought you had seen through the universe and understood the laws of fate, but you were wrong. Everything you have entered is merely part of a much larger game. Behind the reincarnation, the void, and the fate you perceive, there lies a far greater and unfathomable force, far beyond anything you can imagine."
Feng Jing was stunned. The truth of all this seemed to become extremely complicated in an instant. He tried to break free from the light, but found himself unable to move. His consciousness was being gradually devoured. It felt like entering an endless black hole. Not only his body, but also his soul and mind began to move closer to that unknown existence.
"What exactly do you want?" Feng Jing asked, his voice no longer as calm and decisive as it had been at the beginning, but now tinged with unease and doubt. He had realized that he was far from being the dominant player in this cosmic game, and might even be just a bystander, a pawn unable to escape.
"You are a chosen being, Feng Jing," the man said calmly. "Before you were even born, your soul was woven by fate into the web of endless reincarnation. All your choices, all your suffering, have led to this moment. You are but a pawn, but you also have the opportunity to control the ultimate rules of this game."
Feng Jing's consciousness began to fluctuate violently, unable to comprehend the meaning of these words. All of this seemed to completely transcend his understanding, and the presence's mention of "coming" filled him with an indescribable fear. He felt as if he had reached a point of no return, and what he was about to face might be the ultimate truth he could never bear.
"What... do you mean?" Feng Jing's voice was almost weak. He had never felt such a deep despair. His consciousness began to blur, as if he was being swallowed by an invisible force. Everything before him gradually became unreal, even himself began to become nothingness.
"You've seen it all, Feng Jing." The man smiled coldly, an ancient light flashing in his eyes. "The universe you perceive, all the stars, fate, and reincarnation, are all illusions controlled by countless higher-dimensional beings. What you think of as 'choice' is just one part of this great game. You are both a slave to fate and its controller, but your ultimate outcome is already determined."
Feng Jing's heart skipped a beat. He began to realize that he might be just a pawn in a game played by countless higher-dimensional beings. Everything he'd experienced, every decision he'd made, every struggle he'd endured, even his very existence, was part of a larger plan. He wanted to break free, to resist, but the forces of this were beyond his control.
"Could it be that... I couldn't escape from the beginning?" Feng Jing asked in a low voice, his voice filled with unspeakable pain.
"Yes," the man replied calmly, "You no longer have a choice, Feng Jing. You are about to enter a deeper realm, traverse countless dimensions and rifts, and become a 'touchpoint' for a higher-dimensional existence. What you consider 'freedom' will no longer be freedom after you cross this door, but a new kind of existential bondage."
"And after you cross over, you will become the master of all fate, both the controller and the manipulated pawn." The man smiled gently, "This is your destined ending."
Feng Jing suddenly opened his eyes, his consciousness instantly returning to the endless void, as if he had traveled through an unimaginable dimension. Behind that void, he seemed to see some kind of mysterious doorway, a light shone through it, drawing him in like the abyss, and he no longer had the strength to resist.
"Am I... ready?" Feng Jing asked himself in a low voice.
