Chapter 143: Meta-Quantum Simulation-Driven Space

The Prophet of Qinlun, who had been continuously overusing its psychic power, reacted to Adonsa's words like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. Because it relied entirely on psychic power for everything and lacked physical exercise, its body had almost atrophied into a fleshy sphere as it bounced up, crying out in agitation: "Impossible, the Light of Qinlun can never deceive me! What on earth have you done? Could you truly be the Uni—"

Adonsa's expression turned abruptly cold. A fierce slap effortlessly bypassed all defensive barriers, sending the Prophet of Qinlun flying ten kilometers away amidst rings of displaced white steam.

"I am who I am, and my name is Adonsa!"

Before the Prophet of Qinlun—with golden blood trickling from the corner of its mouth—could stabilize its rolling body, Adonsa suddenly reappeared before it. With a downward stomp that sliced through the congealed air like a knife or an axe, it drove the Prophet of Qinlun back into the ground.

A wave of shock rippled outward.

Covered in golden blood, the Prophet of Qinlun immediately shot into the sky, only to stagger violently and plunge back to the earth.

From the deep crater smashed out by the Prophet of Qinlun, a tentacle quietly seized its short, thick hind limb, instantly thwarting its attempt to take flight.

True to form, the psychic perception of the Prophet of Qinlun registered no warning whatsoever, as if this tentacle had been there from the very beginning, grasping its hind limb from the start without a single trace of abnormality.

A viscous sense of nausea enveloped the Prophet of Qinlun. Suddenly realizing the truth, it roared, "This is not the real world! What kind of place is this?!"

This single sentence seemed to trigger some sort of magic. The entire world suddenly darkened, and patches of flesh-like luster appeared across the clouds in the sky and the dirt and rocks of the ground.

With a flicker, everything returned to normal.

Another flicker, and the flesh-like luster reappeared, crisscrossed with gullies resembling the stomach wall of some gargantuan organism.

No, not resembling—this place was literally inside Adonsa's body.

Everything finally cast aside its final disguise, reverting to its true form.

The ground heaved, dark clouds rolled and churned, layers of flesh piled up and undulated, and the writhing of some biological substance stretched on endlessly.

Drops of rain began to fall.

The Prophet of Qinlun scooped up a droplet of rain as crimson as blood. Its chewing-sucking mouthparts trembled continuously until an auxiliary limb hastily rushed forward to block the quivering mouthparts.

In the sky, the flesh gradually dangled vine-like tentacles that connected piece by piece with the earth below. Then, the entire canopy of flesh began to sink slowly, like a closing colossal maw.

The rain grew heavier, and the blood-red downpour gradually pooled into rolling torrents across the land, a massive flood washing over this bizarre world.

The Prophet of Qinlun floated like a wooden carving upon the crimson flood, staring blankly at the sky and earth that were nearly about to merge, as if it had lost all capacity to think and act.

It struggled to drive its psychic power, but there was not the slightest response.

The once effortlessly wielded psychic perception, psychokinesis, teleporation... felt like mere hallucinations, nothing more than the delusions of a paranoid patient.

"Stop struggling. Everything here is a part of me. The sky, the earth, the air, water vapor, minerals... are all me. I have intercepted every single pathway through which you acquire external information, turning every molecule—and even the changes within those molecules—into pure information. Not a single bit of what you see, hear, or perceive is outside of my control."

Adonsa's voice echoed between heaven and earth.

"The foundation of psychic power modifying reality is observing the correct reality. Yet all the information you receive is provided by me, and erroneous information leads only to erroneous alterations. As long as the information I supply occupies a sufficiently large proportion within your body, I can proliferate and devour those parts belonging to you bit by bit. Now, you are already in the palm of my hand; we shall ultimately become one. Hahahahahahahahaha—"

Adonsa repeated the Prophet of Qinlun's own lines, carrying an inexpressible mockery.

Adonsa chuckled wickedly: "The one is all, all is one, and I am the unique existence."

Struggling, the Prophet of Qinlun demanded, "But how could I possibly have known nothing of this?"

"Because I disguised myself." Adonsa seemed to be in high spirits, explaining without the slightest reservation: "Did you think I catalyzed Xiluoya's evolution purely to make you shatter your own psychic barrier? You left far too many traces within their bodies—so many that even with my eyes closed, I could mimic them down to the exact detail."

As Adonsa spoke, its body deformed like soft clay, stretching and kneading at will.

A golden body, short and thick jointed limbs, circular octuple eyes, writhing mouthparts, and even surging psychic power—it was a complete second Prophet of Qinlun.

In despair, the Prophet of Qinlun looked toward the sky, which was on the verge of merging with the earth.

It knew that Adonsa was not explaining all this out of kindness, but to make it ingest even more information originating from Adonsa, thereby accelerating its contamination until it was completely controlled by Adonsa.

Making one last desperate effort, the Prophet of Qinlun attempted to form a layer of psychic barrier on the surface of its body, but it failed once again.

With a bitter smile, it asked, "I have one final question. When exactly was I pulled into this world of flesh?"

Adonsa reverted to its original appearance, pulling a wide, beaming smile across its face: "From the very beginning, you were already inside my body. My so-called breaking of the seal was nothing more than a lie to trick you."

A lie to trick you.

This single statement seemed to deliver the final blow to the Prophet of Qinlun, which had always prided itself on using psychic power to perceive the truth. It finally closed its eyes and resignedly accepted its fate.

The firmament descended completely, drawing a period to this earth-shaking battle.

Everything finally merged into one.

————————————————————————

In the real world, Adonsa finally opened its eyes, gazing at the familiar sky filled with dark clouds.

Its body had devoured the entire city, forming a massive, laboratory-like cubic structure.

In the process of studying the demon race, Adonsa had naturally researched many more powerful and wondrous demon abilities.

And among the cream of the crop was this terrifying ability, or rather combined skill, known as "Monism".

"Micro-Cosm" created a demi-plane that completely severed the connection between the inside of Adonsa's body and the outside world; "Mind-Fusion" freed Adonsa's consciousness from the shackles of neural structures, projecting it onto a single atom; "Illusion" allowed Adonsa to smoothly simulate the thoughts and desires of the Prophet of Qinlun without being exposed.

"Mind-Brain" served as the foundation of the entire "Monism", providing massive computational power that made the inner-within-realm utterly lifelike, ensuring that even when the psychic tentacles of the Prophet of Qinlun probed down to the atomic nucleus level, they still sensed not the slightest flaw.

Along with various other peculiar capabilities from every aspect, they jointly constructed the miraculous absolute domain known as "Monism".

And all of this was driven by the energy of the purple crystal.

"Monism" represented the beginning of the universe and the chaotic state of humanity before birth; everything in the universe developed out of the initial "One", the primordial source.

Therefore, within this demi-plane partitioned by "Monism", everything—time, space, matter, and energy—was theoretically under Adonsa's absolute control. Here, it was the true creator deity, capable of plucking stars, stealing the moon, altering the sun, and veiling the heavens, omnipotent in every way.

Just like a world within a dream.

It could cause an atomic nucleus to swell to the size of the sun, or alter the scale of the entire space, turning an ordinary ant from the outside world into a world-destroying behemoth within.
