Chapter 352 – The Beginning of a New Genesis, Yet the Elder Remains

Though the future may be unpredictable, the surviving remnants from the old era still hold immeasurable research value.

Ye Kuang knew all too well that Blue Star had already passed through multiple epochs and was now gradually stepping into a new era.

One could even call it the “Alchemy” Epoch!

At this thought, despite knowing nothing about the impending calamity, given Ye Kuang’s current Realm, all this pondering was futile.

The only path was to grow stronger, stronger, and stronger still!

Sophia: “What are you thinking about?”

Hearing her voice, Ye Kuang snapped out of his reverie, suddenly realizing he had been lost in deep thought.

“I was wondering if there is life beyond Blue Star.”

Sophia: “…”

Seeing her reaction, Ye Kuang acted as if he hadn’t noticed and continued freely: “Think about it—just because we haven’t found any doesn’t mean there isn’t any. But if there is, why has there been no trace for thousands of years? Perhaps we should consider that there might be some great secret we are unaware of!”

Sophia: “This question shouldn’t be hard to answer. If there is, there is; if there isn’t, there isn’t. Overthinking whether there is or isn’t ultimately boils down to: if there is, there is; if there isn’t, there isn’t. So, guess—is there or isn’t there?”

“Uh…” Ye Kuang couldn’t help but feel puzzled and asked, “That makes sense, but why do I feel like you’re angry?”

Hearing this, Sophia didn’t deny it and said to herself, “I vaguely remember mentioning that Professor Curry once proposed an article on the genesis.”

Hearing this, Ye Kuang suddenly grew interested, slapped his thigh excitedly, and nearly jumped up.

Seeing this, Sophia continued, “Perhaps you don’t know the specific hypotheses in that article. Let me tell you, knowing too much isn’t necessarily a good thing. Sometimes, the highest Realm of being human is to pretend not to know what you clearly do.”

Ye Kuang: “…”

Sophia: “Genesis speaks of harmonious coexistence. Regardless of the differences among all things, the mere reason of ‘sharing the same sky, earth, and roots’ is enough to provoke deep reflection in everyone.”

Her intermittent, gentle tone was tinged with sorrow.

“All things in the world undergo cycles. This cause and effect may seem illusory, but it is all predetermined. Throughout history, whether it’s five epochs or fifteen, one phenomenon is clear: without great wisdom, perseverance, courage, and other qualities, the path we lead will drift into an unknown future.”

“In the distant ancient times, regardless of how powerful the beings were, they still couldn’t escape the grind of time. This proves that no matter how strong, they ultimately couldn’t withstand the passage of time. Therefore, accelerating our pace is the reason we must advance hand in hand, striving relentlessly without stopping, until we finally witness the dawn and the two words proposed in Genesis.”

“Miracle!”

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Hearing this, Ye Kuang was stunned.

He never expected that someone in this world possessed such foresight, not only uncovering the mystery of an incomprehensible epoch but also daring to publicly announce the concept of Genesis.

Truly, a prophet and pioneer, a blessing to the world!

Sophia: “This time, what are you thinking about?”Listening on, Ye Kuang couldn’t help but smile wryly.

It was only at this moment that he realized the world was never lacking in extraordinary talents—people who could discern the right direction merely from the residual phenomena of the era.

Thinking this, Ye Kuang suddenly sighed, “To me, this no longer falls within concepts understandable on the same dimensional level. Perhaps you’re right—thinking too much only adds to one’s troubles. In this lifetime, when happy, learn to laugh; when sorrowful, then cry. Maybe this is the kind of broad-mindedness we seek.”

Sophia gave a soft “Mm” in response, then continued, “Moreover, the Genesis text mentions another point…”

But before she could finish, she seemed somewhat perplexed, yet she repeated verbatim: “The trajectory of the present world is like a predetermined track—it lets you discover certain phenomena, then urges you to delve deeper into the universe. Yet, as you continue researching, you’ll uncover new phenomena. It resembles a cycle—’she’ simply has no end.”

Ye Kuang: “Are you saying that only by constantly forging ahead can we progress, and that stagnation means regression?”

Sophia: “I don’t know either.”

After speaking, she turned away, her faint words clearly filled with uncertainty.

“When you discover a phenomenon, explain it, and successfully decipher it, little do you know there’s another ‘her’ waiting to be discovered, explained, and deciphered. This is a gradual process. Only by fully mastering ‘her’ might we achieve the ultimate purpose of Genesis…”

“‘She’ is infinitely attainable—only if you never discover, never explain, and find it difficult to decipher.”

The lingering echo of these words rang in Ye Kuang’s ears, leaving him somewhat dazed. He quietly watched Sophia leave the room and sank once more into inexplicable contemplation.

“Discovering a phenomenon requires continuous understanding and deciphering, ultimately fully mastering ‘her’ and making it one’s own.”

“Perhaps it’s just like new knowledge—if you don’t solve it, you’ll never find the correct answer. Once you find the answer, it becomes the starting point for learning the next piece of knowledge.”

“Ah, this is so difficult…” At this thought, Ye Kuang couldn’t help but scratch his head in frustration.

Clearly, he found the advanced concepts of Genesis quite baffling.

And as for what kind of logic was used to ponder such questions—Ye Kuang understood even less!

Unbeknownst to him, all the bedrooms in the two buildings had their lights off, yet the hall suddenly lit up.

Moments later, Ye Kuang slowly descended the staircase, his eyes full of confusion.

“Who’s there?”

“Heh, young friend, it’s been days. I’ve missed you dearly.”

“Eh? It’s you, Elder.”

No sooner had Ye Kuang spoken than he struggled to conceal his wariness.

He clearly hadn’t forgotten how the Elder had swindled him out of his hard-earned money that day.

“Elder, you never visit without a reason. Speak—what brings you here uninvited tonight? Besides, I haven’t even settled accounts with you for using me to attract Cremation King’s attention. Do you know we almost all perished in flames dealing with him?”

“Young friend, this truly was an accident. None of us knew that person was one of the Tycoons—Cremation King. Moreover, because of this, even we’ve been overwhelmed with trouble…”After the elder finished speaking, he inexplicably let out a sigh: “Alas… I suppose saying more now is useless. But what’s done is done and cannot be changed. The reason for my visit this time is to point out a path for you to enhance your strength.”
