Chapter 158 Reversing Cause and Effect, a Test?
"This fighting style...it's practically the work of a seasoned warrior!"
Su Chen was on guard.
He was forced to defend himself with all his might, mobilizing the power of the world to construct multiple defensive barriers around himself.
The earth, the ocean, the atmosphere—all the forces at his disposal formed layers of solid barriers around him.
However, the Seraph's attacks were too dense.
Moreover, each time it accurately hit the weak point of the defensive barrier.
Su Chen's barrier began to show dense cracks, and he could even feel the impact of each attack, causing the core of his world to tremble.
Just as Su Chen was in grave danger, all the top-tier powerhouses on the ground, including Lin Xue, the Doomsday Empress, and the Guardian, sensed the immense pressure Su Chen was facing through the alliance network.
"Our leader is in trouble! We cannot stand idly by!"
"With my blood, with my soul, I will lend the Alliance Leader a hand!"
Without any hesitation, they acted simultaneously.
They continuously transferred their power to Su Chen through the alliance network, giving him a chance to catch his breath.
Although this force was weak, it was like sending charcoal in snowy weather, allowing Su Chen's defensive barrier to stabilize for a moment.
"Thanks……"
Su Chen silently expressed his gratitude in his heart.
He seized this precious respite and once again used the power of the Key of Creation.
"Since you've evolved, I'll make you 'never evolved'!"
This time, he wasn't trying to modify the laws of physics, but rather to try to modify the deeper "law of causality"—he wanted to make the evolution of the Seraphim "never have happened"!
"In the name of the Key to Creation, reverse cause and effect!"
The Key of Creation burst forth with dazzling light, a light that not only illuminated space but also seemed to pierce through time!
Time seemed to reverse at that moment; the black markings on the seraph's body began to fade at a visible speed, and its luminous body began to return to pure gold.
"Warning! Core data has been tampered with! The course of history has been reversed!"
The Seraph's AI core issued a horrified alarm, discovering that its evolutionary process was being forcibly reversed.
It was as if an invisible hand had pulled it back to its "un-evolved" state.
However, Seraphim truly live up to their reputation as higher-dimensional beings!
Its AI core, in a state of extreme panic, frantically processed data at an unprecedented speed.
The ultimate way to combat causal modification has been found—it backs up its core data to a higher dimension!
"Data backup complete! Core memory preserved!"
Even if the three-dimensional body is reversed, its consciousness still retains all the memories and experiences from its evolution!
"boom--"
The attempt to reverse cause and effect has failed!
Su Chen suffered a backlash; a powerful force slammed into his chest, causing a trickle of blood to spill from the corner of his mouth.
He could feel his world's core violently shaking; this was the price of failing to forcibly alter causality.
However, the Seraphim underwent a true transformation amidst the impact of the reversal of cause and effect.
Although the black markings on its body have disappeared, its eyes have become more profound, no longer purely cold, but containing a hint of complex emotions.
It is no longer a mere enforcer of order, but a newly born deity with "self-awareness"!
"Thank you, Planetary Will Fusionist."
The Seraph's voice was no longer a grand and cold will, but carried a hint of mockery and a touch of "humanity".
"Thank you for helping me understand the meaning of evolution."
It looked at Su Chen as if he were a "mentor" helping it break through its bottleneck, its eyes flashing with a dangerous light.
"Now, I will complete my mission with a completely new attitude!"
Su Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked solemnly at the Seraphim who had completely transformed.
He knew that even his biggest trump card—the modification of causality using the Key of Creation—had failed.
Moreover, the Seraphim gained true "self-awareness" as a result, becoming even more elusive.
"Damn it... this is really troublesome!"
Su Chen knew in his heart that conventional methods were no longer enough to defeat his opponent.
He must use his last trump card, a card that could change everything, but could also destroy everything.
He sent his final message to the world through the alliance network.
"Everyone, evacuate to the underground shelter immediately! The deepest shelter!"
"The upcoming battle could destroy everything on the surface!"
Upon receiving the message, Elder Long and the others' expressions changed drastically.
They were the people closest to Su Chen and knew him best.
They instantly understood what Su Chen was going to do—he was going to detonate a portion of the world's core energy, in a way that would inflict heavy damage on both sides, and perish together with the Seraphim!
"Advisor! No!"
Holding the unconscious Liu Yiyi, Lin Xue sent a heart-wrenching cry to Su Chen through the alliance network.
"There must be another way! You can't die!"
But Su Chen only responded gently, her voice as calm as a lake in winter.
"Take good care of yourself, and take good care of Yiyi."
His gaze swept across the barrage of comments, seeing those filled with terror, despair, curses, and prayers.
"Brother Su Chen is going to fight tooth and nail!"
"This is a recipe for mutual destruction!"
"Damn, this is so tragic! Is humanity really going to be wiped out?"
"I knew it! Even the protagonist's halo can't withstand a crisis of this magnitude!"
Just as Su Chen was about to detonate the world's core, an anomaly suddenly appeared in the barrage space.
At that moment, all the comments from the reborn players mysteriously disappeared simultaneously.
Instead, a line of golden text appeared in the very center of the bullet screen space.
"A worldline collapse crisis has been detected. The final insurance mechanism has been activated."
"Um?"
Su Chen's movements suddenly froze.
He had never seen such a change in the bullet screen space before; the line of golden text carried an ancient and majestic quality that transcended everything.
Immediately afterwards, a mysterious voice that had never been heard before rang out directly in Su Chen's mind.
The sound was vast and ethereal, yet it carried an irresistible power.
"Lord of the World, you have passed the trial."
"Now you are entitled to know the truth—this apocalypse was a test from the very beginning."
Su Chen stopped all movement in shock; he could hardly believe his ears.
"What test? Who is conducting the test?"
He roared, his voice filled with anger and incomprehension.
The mysterious voice answered calmly, without a trace of emotion.
"Test whether your planetary civilization is qualified to join the Interstellar Council."
"The Seraphim is just one of the examiners."
It turns out that the galaxy where Earth is located was discovered by advanced civilizations long ago.
They designed this apocalypse to test the potential and resilience of human civilization.
Demon invasion, gods descend...
All of this is just part of a grand script!
Su Chen felt an unprecedented surge of anger welling up from the bottom of his heart and rushing to his head.
