Chapter 5526: Worlds Judgment

What do you think then? Eggs are eggs and words are words? The voice asked.

Perhaps. Li Qiye smiled.

And there is a symbiosis relations.h.i.+p between the two. The voice became certain all of a sudden.

If thats true, would you be here? What about the other words? He smiled.

Well The voice pondered for a bit before acquiescing: I suppose co-existence is the better word.

Thats fine, but have you considered a more fundamental issue? He asked.

What? The voice asked.

The worlds judgment. He said, causing a violent ripple shooting across this illusory realm. [1]

The judgment of heaven and earth. Thats post-nascent. The voice said.

Why does that matter? I am post-nascent as well. He said.

The egg is pre-nascent. The voice said.

Then how do I become the egg? He questioned.

You can a.s.sume a state of pre-nascent. The voice responded.

Either state of origin matters to me not. I am me, my true self. He shook his head.

Back to the worlds judgment, it might not exist. The voice said.

Do we see the existence of eggs? The same concept applies to the omnipresent judgment. He said.

The voice didnt respond.

You are the dao, separated from the mortal world and different from me and the egg. Thats why you cannot provide an answer. He continued.

The voice agreed with this point but not the previous: The judgment might not be a thing.

It seems like we cant come to a consensus regarding this topic, lets talk about something else. He said.

What? The voice was always cautious of Li Qiye.

I came with sincerity, absent of malice. There is no need for you to be cautious against my kind soul. He said.

Im still convinced that you can become an egg. The voice said.

Forget about the future, I am not an egg right now. He shook his head.

It doesnt change the possibility of that happening. The voice insisted.

I am absolutely sure that it wont. My origin starts with my dao heart and will end with my dao heart, an immovable one making me a candidate. If this ever changes, I will cease to be myself and the circ.u.mstances of my becoming an egg disappear as well, isnt this a paradox?

Well see about that. The voice seemed to have done countless cycles of calculation before.

Fine, whatever, Im an egg then, lets talk about the three stones instead. Li Qiye smiled helplessly.

The Trinity Stones. The voice knew what he was talking about right away.

Yes. He nodded.

They dont matter since youre an egg. The voice said.

Its interesting, always a stone in one generation after another. They can have one possibility or three. He said.

The voice entertained him and performed a derivation as well regarding this matter.

Born from three yet interconnected. The past originated from the present and guards the future. The voice gave an answer.

What of the future? He asked.

The future The voice calculated again before answering: It might be in the past or is s.h.i.+ning in the present.

That doesnt make sense. He shook his head.

Thats what the future is. The voice said with certainty.

Fine, what about the present? Thats the key. He asked with a serious expression.

The present The voice started the process once more and didnt reply after finis.h.i.+ng.

The present is the present, it is here and now. It concluded.

It is not only in the present, there must be a key point. He said.

The present is the future and the past. The voice said.

No, thats not right. Then all three stones are the same without any distinction, just one timeline and not three. He shook his head.

One stone for one timeline, one timeline for one stone, three together. The voice repeated.

Lets try another perspective, the dao city is inscribed into a scripture, what about the three stones? He smiled, forcing the voice to calculate with its unique ability.

Its a word. It revealed the conclusion.

Are you sure? Doesnt seem to be the case. His expression became serious.

Absolutely. The voice said.

A word, to be actually living. Can you do the same? He smiled and said.

He was answered with silence.

Hey, did you hear me? He asked again.

This time, he saw bright flashes as if the voice was pus.h.i.+ng everything to the infinite, searching for all possible traces.

A word is present, no doubt about it. It said.

Strange. He stroked his chin and said: Back to my point earlier though, what if you and Immortal Dao City become one ent.i.ty?

Impossible. The voice rejected this possibility: I am the destination.

I suppose, you are both the origin and the destination, no need for anything external. He smiled: Can we apply the same reasoning to the stones? It should work the same way.

Its there. The voice said.

Why is that? In the present, there should only be one stone and the three are not one right now. I wonder if something is off. He speculated.

There isnt. The voice didnt sound as confident this time.

If youre not sure, try communicating and ask some questions. He said.

Impossible, dont know where it is and it wont respond. If Li Qiye could see this ent.i.ty, he would see it shaking its head.

Interesting. What about the other words? He asked.

Dont know. The voice answered.

Dont know or dont want to tell me? He smiled.

1. The concept of the world itself being conscious and capable of delivering judgment, not the high heaven. Im unsure why this is a significant point. These recent chapters have been very difficult to translate since they are so vague. It might make more sense once certain events happen in the future. I just need more information on the high heaven and that person/him/he.
