——
The great way is mystical and harmonious, chaotic and truthful. And when it speaks,
the whole world listens. For the world is the Way, and the Way is the world.
This is what the voice of the world said.
Chapter 13, Book 12 - The Confrontation and Tribulation of the World.
—————
In the grand battle that pitted Mayhem against Zue Gin Qun, Mayhem unleashed all his strength to strike down a sword of endless celestial fire and eliminate the aura of Zue Gin Qun. But Zue Gin Qun was certainly not finished.
He was the original tribulation, the scourge representing the earth and sky. He would never let Mayhem easily depart for the heavens. He smiled as an immense force arose from the earth and sky. He allowed his aura to dissipate, and Mayhem pierced the body of Zue Gin Qun, who was split in two, returning to the earth, drawing in the energy of the earth and sky.
The entire world uttered these words: "Beings and spirits are the rulers and directors of the world's will. But even so, they cannot rise against the heavens with impunity and must follow the will of the world. One who lives is part of the world, the world follows the grand Dao, it is the grand Dao, and by the same token, Beings follow the world that follows the Way. And by the same token, the world incarnates in Beings and follows the subtle Way ! What people call destiny is, in fact, the will of the world."
Mayhem! Though you are strong and transcendent! How dare you be so contemptible as to go against the destiny and will of the world? How dare you want to fight that which, by definition, created war? The world itself welcomes you, and yet you oppose it!"
Mayhem then resumed with nonchalance, pointing his sword to the sky and suppressing the earth with his firm and powerful step, his posture upright and domineering: "Zue Gin Qun! Traitor! I'll have your head today, tomorrow, or in a thousand years, but no matter how long it takes, this battle will only end when your blood stains the soil of the eternal lands! I am Mayhem! I have already seen your plots! You are sly and opportunistic! You prioritize your desires over those of the world! And you dare to speak in place of the great Way; you are nothing more than a fragment of the world, just like me! Cease your morality, and we will see whose heavens you so dearly prefer and favor the most! Come! Come and fight rather than flee! Traitor!"
Zuo Gin Qun sniffed disdainfully before saying with scorn: "Certainly, I am only the incarnation of the world's tribulation! But I embody its most fundamental rules! And I have all the honor of its wisdom. You continue to struggle, well then, whatever the end of this battle, the will of the great way will be made perfect."
He smiled, resuming in an arrogant and joyful tone: "Whether it's your plans or mine, we are all pawns in the grand order of everything. Accept it simply, Mayhem, or you will bear the weight of tribulation and rules throughout your existence! We will see if you lift your head on the day you finally understand that the heavens and the earth, as well as beings, spirits, and laws, have never formed anything but a single thought. That this thought leads to your end here and now, Mayhem!"
"Ahahahahahahahahahahahhaahah!!!!"
Mayhem laughed as he saw the sky fall on him like the end of the world, his eyes bloodshot, his tall and powerful immortal fairy figure turning towards the heavens with strength and determination, the bursts and celestial flashes falling upon him forcefully. In the sky, Zue Gin Qun had his arms spread on both sides of his body, his mouth wide open in the euphoria of the power of the earth and sky falling on the world. The strong winds propelled his clothes backward, and in the great storm of chaos, Mayhem was embedded in the earth with a power as strong as a mountain, his sword descending like a sun at twilight!
And Gin Qun was propelled by the winds, his hair swept away as he laughed. The celestial force falling with monumental power, the brilliance of the two deadly blows was so powerful that the earth and sky were shattered.
And the entire world woul never be the same.
A dull sound left a great mark on existence, and shortly after, a great battle had already unfolded. A great mark in the ground to the deepest part of the sky, leaving the trace of the blade of a sword that had split the world.
And the divine Gin Qun, standing on the ground, cut in two, but he was not dead; rather, he smiled. His mouth, cut in two, still spoke, but it was the world itself expressing his words, as he disappeared like dust, he uttered his last breath: "So be it, it is the wish of the world, Ami Namayhem, O noble suffering of the world... how I would have liked to finish you here... Transgressor and pitiless... hero or a demon? Who knows..."
His eyes cried with frustration, and his face radiated the intense pleasure of the previous battle. An expression as happy, crazy, and sad... He simply finished by disappearing... "You even ended up cutting the world... How absurd your destiny is... Ah... (sigh) how I envy you..."
He smiled with his two halves of his mouth before disappearing into the snow and the mountain cut in two.
The entire world was cut by the blade, and Mayhem, the one who bore the noble suffering of the worlds, had disappeared. Transcending the earth and sky, beyond the immortal domains.
And on the great terrain filled with frustration and distress, they still spell out this word at the top of the highest mountain in Axia, the highest peak in the world, people say: "And who cut the mountain in two?"
His name is Ami Namayhem. The one who bears the noble suffering of the world.
And this mountain where the great battle took place is now called:
Mountain Dang Hun.
The mountain of the end of times.
