Xiao Chen gazed at the vast, dark void realm before him, feeling a sense of relief as he experienced this environment completely different from chaos.
"Does it seem like I've made the right gamble?"
When he learned of the five supreme rulers, he had a vague sense that beyond chaos, or rather beyond the rulers, there must be something else.
He proposed to merge souls with Yingyin to experience the scenes and state of the initial chaos, in order to infer whether the concept of 'before chaos' existed.
The Void Sovereign had categorically denied the existence of anything before chaos.
Since time originated with the Time Sovereign, even the Time Sovereign had not been born before chaos, which means time itself didn't exist then, yet somehow it still involved the concept of time, clearly a contradiction.
Therefore, the concept of 'before chaos' did not exist.
Xiao Chen couldn't refute this at the time, because the theory was sound, yet he always felt something was amiss.
