Chapter 329: Vol4 Ch54: Dim Silence

The golden light and the crimson light melted into one another.

While Xu Fu both agreed with and understood the meaning of Negary’s existence, the will of each individual would differ, and Negary would have to remove the parts of Xu Fu that did not fit him.

At the same time, after breaking through the limit of the parallel worlds, Xu Fu had actually arrived near Negary’s realm of existence.

And yet, as soon as the two entities touched one another, Negary’s golden light took over the majority of the crimson light’s territory almost immediately.

Their realms of existence were not too different, but the means at their disposal had drastic disparity. A similar comparison would be if two master gunmen faced off, but one of them had a classic .44 Colt revolver, while the other carried a railgun accompanied by a form-fitting exoskeleton. The drastic difference in weapons also served in lengthening their gap.

Not to mention the fact that Xu Fu was originally a grand feast that Negary had specifically crafted for himself.

Having been a result of the Self-replication Experiment, Xu Fu was born in a similar nature to Negary, which made him the perfect meal for Negary.

Back in the Flame world, as long as they were those with firm will or had the ability to follow through with their will to the end, they would be fit for Negary to remedy himself. But as Negary continued to mature and grow, those who could remedy Negary’s personality shortcomings became increasingly rarer, giving him no choice but to personally craft this feast using the power of 8888 worlds.

“If you want to absorb me as your nutrient, then go ahead. If your principles cannot defeat me, I shall use your body to resurrect” Xu Fu also did not try to resist himself becoming food in the slightest.

Negary himself represented the evolution to become an increasingly better self. He had been constantly changing himself since conception, pushing himself to evolve increasingly faster.

His consumption of Xu Fu could be understood as Negary absorbing the parts of Xu Fu’s principles that benefited him, but if Xu Fu’s principles were more complete and better fit the concept of Negary, then it would have been Xu Fu who consumed Negary.

Negary is a pursuit, meaning, a way of thinking, a concept, ‘he’ wasn’t any particular individual. As long as one adhered to the concept of Negary, then they would be Negary. If one’s way of thought was more complete, then they would be the more perfect Negary, thus taking his place.

After all, Negary was described to be the better and more perfect ‘self’, so if Xu Fu was more perfect, he would be a better representative of Negary.

The gold and red colors continuously ate away at once another. Despite Negary’s means being superior, Xu Fu’s excellence could not be understated. After this feeding, Negary managed to undergo another evolution, his golden glow became even purer and more radiant.

…

Year 20xx, Negary walked along a small road lined with stone slabs and entered a large old-fashioned liquor shop, the customers inside only glanced at him briefly before going back to their businesses.

Sitting at the counter, Negary looked at the bartender and ordered a cup of this place’s signature drink, Elven Forest.

Taking a sip of the drink and observing the glittering emerald liquid inside, Negary sighed: 〖 An exceptional taste, a faint hint of aggression hidden under a calm beauty, that certainly fits the description of elves 〗

“Aren’t elves a species of beautiful creatures who enjoy peace?” the bartender refuted his words.

Only by looking carefully would one notice that this bartender was exceptionally handsome, every muscle, every vein, every piece of his body seemed to have been deliberately arranged in the manner best suited for a human observer. Even the sway of his hair felt as if it was able to rouse one’s heartstrings regardless of gender.

Standing behind the bar, half of his body was obscured by a dim and silent shadow, but under this picture of peace, an underlying rampaging tide could be felt without being seen.

〖 I also hope that they are a race that enjoys peace 〗 Negary took another sip: 〖 Unfortunately, reality and hope are always prone to clash 〗

〖 I modified this world, so I don’t hope to see the fruits of my hard work being stolen by others 〗Negary slowly declared: 〖 Either join me, or die 〗

The bartender slightly smiled and raised both hands to signify his surrender: “It took so much for me to finally resurrect myself, but I’ve already been found before I even regained 10% of my original strength. As expected, the younger generations are all monsters, huh?”

Negary closely kept his eye on the bartender, not at all letting his guard down due to how cooperative the other party was. This was the Dim Silence Envoy, one of the three Elven Lord Gods of the Moon Tree world, and it was thanks to the coordinates he left behind that Negary managed to arrive in this world.

In the Moon Tree world, he was completely devoured by Darr and thoroughly died off, but he managed to spread the information of this world to Negary just before that.

After arriving in this world, Negary had remained constantly cautious of the Dim Silence Envoy’s hidden measures, but it wasn’t until he had taken almost complete control over this world that he managed to discover traces of the Dim Silence Envoy.

As expected, this entity’s understanding of ‘existence’ far surpassed others. After arriving in this world and discovering the Inexistent World, he twisted the world’s timeline of his own accord, purposely sending the part of the timeline that contained his existence into the Inexistent World.

As he had left a part of his existence within the limbo between existing and not, the coordinates he left for Negary was to guide powerful enemies to this world, forcing the SCR Foundation to use the [REDACTED] black sword and stimulate the remains within the Inexistent World.

During this process, the hidden part of the Dim Silence Envoy’s existence would also return to life, silently remaining hidden within this world as a part of its normal living beings, not even Negary managed to notice him.

If Negary hadn’t consumed Xu Fu and gained further understanding of the nature of Error, as well as conduct further optimization on the structure of his parallel worlds, he wouldn’t have noticed the slight discoordination within the space and managed to find the Dim Silence Envoy.

As he reincarnated as a human being, all the information recorded ever since his birth was completely mundane, even the world’s Akashic Records only retained his correct information, he had never utilized his supernatural abilities either.

〖 With your level of existence, even at 10% of your peak, your mere presence in this world could have already caused a tide of radiation. Should I say, as expected of the Dim Silence Envoy? Even while I stand directly in front of you and focus my senses, I can still only notice a slight tint of discoordination 〗Negary couldn’t help but praise him.

There were no ‘weaklings’ among those who achieved the third stage of release and formed their own pathway. The Dim Silence Envoy was killed by the joint efforts of the seven Gods, but his own existence still managed to enter the Aspect of Silence; when he was plotted against by Negary and fed to Darr, even under such desperate circumstances, he still managed to resurrect himself. Furthermore, if he was left to his own devices for long enough, he would be able to fully recover.

If Negary hadn’t managed to discover him, he would have continued to remain hidden for a long while without issues. Once Negary’s attention became focused on the Moon Tree world again, he would rise up, take what he could, then flee without ever returning. Entities of his level were difficult to kill if nothing else; of course, the current Negary wouldn’t pale in comparison either, in fact, he might even be better.

“I have a total of 8 sets of world coordinates in my possession, while some of them might have lost their usefulness, some of them are still usable. There is even a Bed Realm among them” Dim Silence Envoy openly handed his possessions over. He was displaying the fact that if he wasn’t concerned about Negary’s attention, he would have left this world already.
