Deep within the Miracle Star Sea, the Symphony of Natural Joy was gradually purifying the indestructible will of the Particle Holy God.
In theory, eternal lives were the spiritual manifestations of primordial beings.
Strictly speaking, eternal lives could even be considered avatars of primordial beings.
This was also why the Lunar Holy God was able to awaken the memories of the primordial Lunar.
Of course, once the memories belonging to a primordial being were awakened, the eternal life known as the Lunar Holy God would cease to exist.
In a certain sense, it could be understood as the Lunar Holy God being overtaken on a memory level.
However, it was evident that the Particle Holy God had not awakened any memories belonging to a primordial being. After all, even if eternal lives were the spiritual remnants of dead primordial beings, the amount of spiritual essence varied, and the Particle Holy God clearly did not meet the threshold required to awaken primordial memories.
Thus, once the Particle Holy God regained consciousness, his strength was far inferior to that of the Lunar Holy God.
He was even considerably weaker than Rosen's eternal avatar, the Old Fisherman.
Seeing that the Particle Holy God was about to fully awaken, Rosen's Primordial Incarnation used the Myriad Transformation Divine Art to become the Particle Holy God.
Two identical Particle Holy Gods—from their eternal bodies to their eternal wills, from the origin of life to the origin of divinity—merged under the power of the Miracle Star Sea.
When a true body and an avatar merge, it is typically the true body that takes dominance, not only because it is stronger, but also because its memory capacity far exceeds that of the avatar.
The true body's memories could overwrite the avatar's, whereas the avatar's memories could not overwrite those of the true body—unless the true body perished, at which point the avatar's memories could take over and become the main consciousness. However, in this case, the Primordial Incarnation's memory capacity vastly exceeded that of the Particle Holy God.
Under normal circumstances, this would be impossible, since Rosen's lifespan wasn't even a fraction of the Particle Holy God's.
Usually, the longer one lived, the stronger and more extensive their memories.
But the Primordial Incarnation's memories completely overshadowed the Particle Holy God's, because memory was also distinguished by value. Memories formed by passive observation were far less meaningful than those formed through the learning of knowledge. Hence, mastering more knowledge greatly enhanced memory capacity.
Rosen used his own source seed to create the Omniscient Bookworm, whose core was his eternal will.
The Bookworm had studied boundless knowledge through the Book of Fate and Providence, all of which had been internalized into his eternal will and thereby became Rosen's own knowledge. Not to mention, he now wielded the Bronze Book of Destiny, and everything recorded within had become part of his understanding.
In this context, the memory capacity of the Primordial Incarnation far surpassed that of the Particle Holy God—by an immeasurable degree.
The entirety of the Particle Holy God's memories were diluted by the boundless memories of the Primordial Incarnation.
Through this act of spiritual usurpation, Rosen successfully transformed the self-awareness within the Particle Holy God's indestructible will into his own.
Then, with the active cooperation of the Primordial Incarnation, the Miracle Star Sea gradually stripped away the memories that belonged to the original Particle Holy God. Before long, he was fully annihilated on the memory level, and the consciousness inhabiting the body was now Rosen's alone.
The Primordial Incarnation dispelled the Myriad Transformation Divine Art, and Rosen now controlled the Particle Holy God as smoothly as he did the Old Fisherman, as another of his avatars.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Chaos Holy God and the others were still preoccupied, the Particle Holy God immediately traveled to the Cosmic Origin Sea and voluntarily merged his indestructible will into the Cosmic Heart, thereby receiving a new cosmic source seed and becoming the seventh member of the Inter-Cosmos Council.
Rosen pressed the advantage and used the same method to convert the Yellow Spring Holy God into an avatar.
Then, under the identity of the Yellow Spring Holy God, he merged his indestructible will into the Cosmic Heart and obtained the eighth cosmic source seed.
With two new members appearing in rapid succession, the expressions of the Chaos Holy God and the Dimension Holy God turned visibly grim.
The more people there were, the more competitors they faced. The number had already doubled from four to eight. If they let the Heaven and Earth Holy God continue purifying others with the Symphony of Natural Joy, dozens of members could emerge in the Inter-Cosmos Council.
The Heaven and Earth Holy God was sabotaging others without benefiting himself. This had to stop immediately.
They had to propose eliminating him. This time, they would make sure to persuade the other members in advance so that the vote in favor would outnumber the objections.
Soon, the Chaos Holy God approached the Particle Holy God, and the Dimension Holy God approached the Old Fisherman and the Yellow Spring Holy God.
If you wanted to win people over, you had to offer enough benefits. Ordinary eternal resources weren't going to cut it—these individuals had all profited handsomely from dividing up the eternal worlds and lacked nothing in terms of eternal resources. As for primordial-level resources, they were far too precious and scarce to be offered so easily.
So in the end, what was offered were mostly low-cost, high-value pieces of information.
Because of this, Rosen learned something significant—there were hidden realms in the universe even he didn't know about.
He had always found it strange that, after the collapse of the Nightfall Society, the remnants of the primordial universe had created nearly a hundred evil beings. Yet these evil beings, at best, possessed only eternal-level strength. Was that really worth all the effort to seal them away?
Or is the purpose of the existence of the evil lifeforms simply to tear apart the entire universe and force the Heart of the Universe to be reborn? But if that were truly the goal, then the Chaos God and the Dimension God should have had the authority to break the Nightfall Society's seals. In reality, the Nightfall Society was forcibly destroyed by them, releasing the evil lifeforms.
It turned out that the Nightfall Society broken this time was only the superficial layer of the Nightfall Society.
The primordial universe remnants and sins sealed here were merely the leftover scraps consumed by the Primordial Lives.
Back in those days, some Primordial Lives maintained the Universe Will, while others aimed to eliminate it. Among the Primordial Lives who first erupted into war, everything left by the fallen became the spoils of the victors.
In this war, the final victors were those Primordial Lives who successfully transcended.
However, the losers and the Universe Will weren't completely without fallback options.
The Chaos God suspected that the Nightfall Parasitic Flower was the fallback for those defeated Primordial Lives.
The role of the Nightfall Society was actually to seal the Nightfall Parasitic Flower.
Only after the Chaos God destroyed the Nightfall Society and noticed that the Nightfall Parasitic Flower was still spreading through the universe did He realize that the Nightfall Society He destroyed was likely just the surface layer, and the true inner world had quietly slipped out of the seal.
Though the secrets revealed by the Chaos God might not be entirely truthful, there had to be some truth to them for the claims to be convincing.
While manipulating the Old Fisherman and the others who pretended to comply, Rosen began investigating whether there were any other hidden worlds within the universe.
The information provided by the Chaos God included some clues from his own investigations.
Following those clues step by step, Rosen indeed discovered another hidden world.
This world was extremely peculiar—it existed within the memories of all living beings.
As long as your memory was aware of such a world, you might actually perceive that it truly existed.
The Nightfall Parasitic Flower could parasitize bodies, souls, and even origins, but none of those were its true power. Its real power was parasitizing the memories of living beings, and no one knew what was contained in this memory-level world.
Even the Chaos God hadn't figured out how to enter it and shared this discovery perhaps to encourage collective brainstorming.
Soon, a meeting between the universe's members was convened, and all eight members quickly arrived one by one.
"I propose eradicating the Heaven and Earth God..." the Chaos God confidently said as soon as they were all present.
"Agreed!" The Dimension God, the Ancient God, and the Moon God all expressed unanimous approval this time.
However, when the Chaos God confidently looked at the Old Fisherman and the other three, all he saw were silent smiles.
The Chaos God immediately understood that these three had already sided with the Heaven and Earth God.
Their pretended agreement was just a ploy to extract information from him.
Being so deceived, the Chaos God surprisingly felt no humiliation or anger.
Because dead people were irrelevant to him, he had planned to vote out the Heaven and Earth God first, then deal with the Old Fisherman and the other three later. As for the memory world where the Nightfall Parasitic Flower's mother stock existed, any who dared enter it faced only a dead end.
The Chaos God withdrew from the universe, silently waiting for them to fall into the memory world.
The method to enter the memory world was extremely simple—so simple that he worried if he said it outright, they would suspect it was a trap. Because it was so simple, he even had to repeatedly erase his own memories of this method.
The Chaos God bitterly waited for the Heaven and Earth God and the others to find their own deaths, but after many days, there was still no good news.
During this time, Rosen didn't even realize he was wandering on the edge of danger and traps.
He tried all sorts of ways but couldn't enter that world which existed in the perceptions of all living beings' memories.
Until one day, the Chaos God simply could no longer bear it.
He couldn't understand how the Heaven and Earth God and the others could have missed such an obvious entry condition.
Therefore, the Chaos God prepared, via the universe, to eliminate the Heaven and Earth God first.
As for the Old Fisherman and the others, they could only count on their luck.
Rosen sensed the Chaos God summoning him through the universe and instinctively felt ill intent.
Although the Book of Fate could not reveal the fate of the Chaos Holy God, it could still allow him to accurately sense the destiny that was unfavorable to him.So his true body directly escaped deep into the True Realm of the Primordial Gods, manipulating his Primordial Avatar to transform into him via the Myriad Transformations Divine Method and enter the Intercosmic Domain.
"You want to enter the Nightfall Memory World..."
The Chaos Holy God rapidly repeated this sentence ten times in a row.
Rosen listened to it ten times and thought about it ten times, then his true body in the depths of the Primordial Gods' True Realm suddenly vanished.
The Chaos Holy God also disappeared without a trace. In that instant, both of them were completely erased from the universe.
When Rosen awakened from his slumber, he already understood why he hadn't been able to find the method to enter the Memory World.
Who would have thought that the entry condition was to generate the thought of "wanting to enter the Nightfall Memory World" ten consecutive times?
Although Rosen had been researching this Memory World, his sense of danger was simply too strong.
Every time he was about to meet the entry condition, he would sense danger and immediately break off the thought of entering the Memory World. This time, he also sensed the danger in advance, but the perception was weakened by the Intercosmic Domain.
That was why he thought sending in a Primordial Avatar to the Intercosmic Domain would allow him to avoid danger to the greatest extent.
As it turned out, even if it was just an avatar thinking ten times about entering the Memory World, it would still precisely lock onto the true body and send it in.
Rosen looked around—this environment wasn't unfamiliar to him.
Because within the spiritual world of the Natural Compassion Symphony, he had seen it countless times before.
What was now appearing within his perception as the Memory World was clearly the devastated state of the Primordial Universe after its cataclysm.
The sun in the sky had turned black—clearly a manifestation of the same power as the Dark Sun.
As for the moon, it had turned red, and the moonlight had condensed into a tentacle coiled around the black Dark Sun. One could clearly see that the Dark Sun was being overwhelmed, its surface covered in countless Nightfall Parasitic Flowers, which were weakening it.
In the square-heaven-and-round-earth layout of the Primordial Universe, at least two Primordial Beings were clashing in the depths of the sky.
Meanwhile, on the vast, boundless land, hundreds of colossal beings were tearing apart the earth and shattering space with every movement. Their true forms were extremely blurry—any attempt to focus on them instinctively induced a sense of fatal danger.
Yet danger was not something one could simply evade. Two Primordial Beings only a few light-years away were rapidly approaching.
Rosen wanted to dodge, but he found it was completely impossible.
Because the Primordial Beings were simply too fast, and his own speed was far too slow.
The intensity of this Primordial Universe was beyond imagination—he couldn't even tear open space here, and the source-seed powers he wielded were ineffective in this place. The only power he could use was the pure force of Eternal Will.
Under such conditions, evasion was impossible. He would soon be swept into the battle between the two Primordial Beings.
Rosen's danger sense told him that being caught in it would end in a terrible death.
But the source-seeds couldn't be used in this Memory World, and the Book of Fate and Fortune lay dormant in his body, unable to be summoned. Then what was this danger sense based on? Unless… his perception of danger at this moment was false?
But Rosen didn't dare gamble—because if he lost, he really might die.
After fleeing for a short while, seeing that the two Primordial Beings were drawing closer and closer, and realizing there was no way to escape, he was directly drawn into the conflict.
All consciousness vanished in an instant, and every trace of his existence disappeared with it.
At that moment, within the Primordial Gods' True Realm, the Primordial Avatar had already returned and taken its position.
Rosen tried to sense his true body—but all connection between the avatar and the true body had been completely severed.
He had tried continuously generating thoughts about entering the Nightfall Memory World, hoping to send in the avatar to assist the true body.
But it failed. That Memory World seemed capable of locking onto the true body and gave the avatar no chance of entry. Thus, Rosen had no way of knowing the condition of his true body—his only option now was to send more beings into that Memory World.
Without hesitation, Rosen used hidden agents planted in the Holy Divine Palace to reveal the method of entering the Memory World.
If all Eternal Beings became trapped in the Memory World, it would inevitably disrupt the Chaos Holy God's plan to seize the Heart of the Universe.
Soon, one by one, Eternal Beings from the Holy Divine Palace began disappearing. Eventually, even the Lunar Holy God and the Ancient God vanished from the universe after receiving the news. In a short time, among the universe's top-level extraordinary beings, only the Dimension Holy God and a group of Sinful Beings remained.
"Looks like the Heaven and Earth Holy God really has enraged the Chaos Holy God."
The Dimension Holy God sighed faintly as he perceived the now-empty Intercosmic Domain.
He strongly disapproved of the Chaos Holy God's reckless actions this time—but the threat posed by the Heaven and Earth Holy God was simply too great.
Still, even if the Heaven and Earth Holy God were to die within that Memory World, the number of Eternal Beings buried with him would be considerable. The balance they had painstakingly maintained in the universe would certainly collapse. From here on, he would have to work on reducing the Sinful Beings' damage to the universe.
