Chapter 212 The Evolution of Essence
If this darkness did not exist, the remaining hemisphere would have separated from the other half of the planet under the influence of gravity, instead of remaining attached to the other half as it is now.
Of course, if it weren't for this darkness, this planet wouldn't be the way it is now.
At this moment, in the center of that eternal, profound, immortal darkness, a colossal giant, like a living black hole, stands silently in the air.
"Oh, what immense and terrifying power this is!"
Uchiha Yue spread his arms wide, and an almost endless, incredibly vast and terrifying energy surged into his body like a tsunami. The sunlight, the power of colliding matter, the attraction of the star to the planet's mass—almost all energy was being absorbed, devoured, and completely transformed into a part of himself.
An upper limit? There is no upper limit!
All that exists is the infinite increase in size and the evolution of the essence of life. Nagato and his group's idea was doomed from the start because Uchiha Tsukuyomi would not die of old age. Not to mention the existence of his eye techniques, aging would also be a disadvantage for him, and would be reversed, retaining only the positive aspects of aging.
Even without this ability, the improvement of the essence of life will lead to an increase in lifespan. In particular, for life, the so-called death from old age is not actually a limitation of natural laws, but a limitation of the physical body. No, it is not even a limitation of the physical body, but a limitation of genes.
Death from old age is never inevitable or absolute. Life should not die from old age; it is genes that cause life to die.
As the essence of life evolves, will lifespan gradually increase?
From one hundred years to two hundred years, three hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years?
Is this an evolution of the essence of life? Yes, it is, but it is not a true, absolute evolution of the essence. It is a compromise with the genes. In essence, it is just an infinite extension of the original genes, telling the genes to delay the collapse of this body. However, the underlying logic of the genes has not changed, and this body will still collapse.
Millennia, ten thousand years, one hundred thousand years, one million years, one hundred million years?
No matter how long time is, even a finite lifespan, longer than the entire universe, death still occurs. This is the logic at the core of our genes, just like a feudal dynasty. No matter how long it lasts or how beautiful it seems, it will eventually decay and collapse.
This is fate, an inescapable fate, a fundamental logic predetermined from the very beginning, one that has existed since birth.
How can we escape the inevitable fate of our bodies decaying?
Uchiha Yue's choice was to screw fate, he was done with it, and directly betrayed the genes, re-evolving them and forcibly removing the aging and dying genes. Thus, aging and death disappeared.
His cells will be able to divide indefinitely, but not in a disorderly manner. As before, countless cells will aggregate to form the human form. When the body is damaged, it will divide to repair itself. Cells will still die, but not in the past way. Instead, they will be replaced by succession, with stronger cells replacing weaker ones, and metabolism will occur.
Uchiha Yue did not become an ultimate life form that transcends humanity. He was still human, but he would never die due to lifespan. He was not a god; he was still a human, a mortal, an ordinary person. However, he had transcended.
The deathly darkness continued to expand at an ever-increasing speed. The remaining hemisphere was visibly being blackened and eroded. In the end, the ninja world was completely shrouded in darkness, and eternal deathly silence descended. Goose feather-like snowflakes fell at an incredibly slow, accumulating pace.
Because of the extremely slow pace, a continent made of ice and snow even formed in the sky.
The planet's atmosphere began to disappear, and the ocean began to freeze. The vast ocean turned into a giant block of ice. Countless marine creatures, before they could even react to what was happening, had all their energy drained from their bodies and, along with the ice, became lifeless sculptures. In this darkness and cold, even the most tenacious and the smallest life forms could not survive at this moment.
At that microscopic level, those tiny life forms, bacteria, fungi, and other microscopic organisms, become like sculptures and die.
rot?
In a world where even microscopic life has disappeared, where light and heat no longer exist, where wind no longer blows, and where even the movement between molecules has been compressed to its extreme, the rules of decay have vanished.
The planet's internal movements have ceased; the once scorching magma has turned icy cold, and the pulsating core has stopped. This planet is dying!
What killed her was that tiny, dust-like life form born on the planet.
If the ninja world had its own will, it would definitely punish Uchiha Tsuki. Then it would find that all its methods could not have any effect on a living natural disaster like Uchiha Tsuki, and it could only wait for death in despair.
After completely engulfing the planet, that deep darkness then reached into the depths of space.
Endless sunlight shone into that darkness, yet failed to illuminate it even slightly. Instead, it sank into it, transforming into food captured by the darkness, like refined honey water, gleaming with a dazzling light. Like a long river, it surged into that darkness, and the power of the stars was being absorbed by Uchiha Yue.
"And then—"
In the center of the desolate realm, Uchiha Yue looked at the dazzling, great star, feeling the terrifying energy surging within his body. After completely devouring the planet and fully connecting with the universe, he began to absorb cosmic energy. He could feel his power increasing wildly at an astonishing speed.
Space—now, his absorption ability has already begun to penetrate spacetime and devour the energy contained in deeper spaces within the same space.
The Pure Land, and other additional dimensions existing in the ninja world—unfortunately, he was a step too late. There were no more souls in the Pure Land. Obito Uchiha and his group's plan to live in seclusion was doomed from the start. If they had truly chosen to seal themselves away and wait for Tsukuyomi Uchiha to die, they would have been in trouble.
So even if Uchiha Tsuki really does die of old age, they will die silently in the Kamui dimension before he does, dying in the dream of the new world, never achieving the reality of entering the new world.
