Doomsday Code

Chapter 1035 Soul Rebirth

Looking at the final test results, the God of Light remained silent for a long time. Then, as if the system had crashed, he stood there in a daze for a long time. The projection in front of him dissipated, and the surroundings returned to a deathly silent void.

Meanwhile, shifting the timeline slightly, in a certain void somewhere in the world, Chen Cheng and Squidward disappeared from the mortal realm and appeared here.

This void cannot be said to be completely silent and nothingness. Those who are in this place can faintly hear the mournful cries of countless intelligent beings before their death.

This is the place where the world's power cycles, but because there is no governing deity, it is still a void.

Chen Cheng had previously taken the final step to godhood by seizing the reincarnation office from the divine being, and now that he was dead, he would naturally become one of the many resentful beings here.

However, because he obtained the position of Reincarnation Officer, and with the help of Squidward's tireless efforts, he was given another chance to be reborn.

To be reborn, he naturally needs to return to this cycle of reincarnation.

Chen Cheng felt so empty and comfortable. He didn't need to think about anything or anyone in the outside world. He just needed to stay here quietly like this, and stay here forever.

However, while he was soundly asleep, a lot of noise suddenly appeared in his ears.

At first, the sounds were very indistinct, and he could ignore them. But as time went on, the sounds grew louder and louder, and at the same time, the meaning within them became clearer and clearer.

"It's noisy."

A sudden roar silenced the entire Reincarnation Void. Chen Cheng then ripped the octopus mask off his face, took a deep breath, and sat up.

He breathed heavily, observing his surroundings, his eyes somewhat unfocused, and murmured:

"Is this the underworld? What is the underworld? Why is it so dark? Can I go back? Go back? What does 'go back' mean?"

Then Chen Cheng realized that he was holding something in his hand. When he picked it up, he found that it was a shrunken Squidward.

Previously, Squidward exhausted his own power to activate Chen Cheng's divine power and revive him. This caused him to lose his intelligence and become an ordinary octopus.

Upon arriving at this cycle of reincarnation, perhaps it was the rules of reincarnation here that briefly restored his wisdom.

Seeing Chen Cheng's silly look, the octopus who was close to Chen Cheng's face slapped him twice without hesitation.

Feeling the burning pain on his face, Chen Cheng's somewhat unfocused gaze finally refocused a little.

But it was precisely this point that caused countless memories to flood his mind in an instant.

Chen Cheng clutched his head, kneeling in the void and wailing incessantly.

"Ouch, it hurts so much!"

Chen Cheng's fists swung and pounded wildly.

Because at this moment, what appeared in his mind was not only his memories as Chen Cheng in his previous life and as Brown in this life, but also many other memories that he was completely unaware of.

These memories are intertwined and interwoven, like a jumble of gibberish, making it impossible for Chen Cheng to organize a normal and logical thought process.

At this moment, the voices that had been silenced by Chen Cheng's roar reappeared, and as if they knew that Chen Cheng was very weak, they all surged toward Chen Cheng's location.

They all wanted to merge into Chen Cheng's thoughts, consciousness, and memories, so that they would have a chance to be reborn from Chen Cheng's body.

Although Squidward had regained his intelligence, he was still being held captive by Chen Cheng because he was exhausted and had no way to help Chen Cheng.

Just as these filthy consciousnesses from before their deaths were about to invade Chen Cheng's body, a ripple suddenly appeared in the void, and then a transparent light membrane enveloped Chen Cheng.

No matter how much those filthy consciousnesses attacked and how unwilling they were, they could never pass through this light membrane.

As Chen Cheng held the octopus in his palm, it sensed the familiar aura above it, then made a gesture of respect with its tentacles before breaking free from Chen Cheng's grasp.

He climbed up Chen Cheng's arm to his face, and then slapped Chen Cheng's face repeatedly with his tentacles while glaring at him and saying:

“Kid, look at me. Remember, you are yourself. You are not Brown, nor Chen Cheng, nor anything else. You are yourself.”

Squidward knew Chen Cheng had some issues, but he hadn't expected them to be this serious. Therefore, what he needed to do now wasn't to help Chen Cheng clarify a complete personality or thought process. Because Chen Cheng had too many memories and personality traits within him, even if he managed to sort one out, it would immediately lead to the same collapse as it was now.

The only feasible solution is to help Chen Cheng abandon his so-called personality-based thinking, allowing his mind to also become divine, and to completely deify him.

That way he could maintain so many memories and thoughts within him without collapsing.

Just like the Moon Goddess, she has countless incarnations, each with its own unique memories and experiences, which in turn shape different personalities and thoughts.

But in essence, all those who have branched out are still her, the Moon Celestial Venerable. So if she doesn't want to become mentally ill, she must have the mindset of a god.

In God's mind, these were merely fleeting experiences in His divine life, like a movie for a passerby.

Perhaps on a whim her personality might become like that of a certain incarnation, but this is just a whim; her true self always exists and dominates everything.

Although Chen Cheng was disoriented by these chaotic memories, he never forgot the origin of his past life that formed many of his memories.

Listening to Squidward's voice, Chen Cheng tried his best to endure it, starting from his past life, sorting through these messy memories one by one, and then removing the protagonist of the memories he represented.

Using his past life memories as a foundation, he gradually reconstructs his new thought logic.

When he opened his eyes again and recovered, he felt that his cheeks were numb with pain.

Squidward, as if settling a personal score, kept slapping him across the face.

Chen Cheng pinched Squidward with one hand, making him cry out in pain.

"Let go, you heartless brat."

Chen Cheng, however, looked at Squidward with a cold smile and said:

"You audacious evil god, how dare you attack me while I am weakened! Do you know what your punishment is?"

At this moment, Chen Cheng was no longer the carefree and irresponsible person he was outside. He controlled the reincarnation department, and in this reincarnation void, he truly had the aura of a supreme god.

Moreover, Squidward himself knew that once the soul was reshaped, it was uncertain whether the person would still be the same as before.

Therefore, he no longer dares to gamble on whether Chen Cheng will really turn into an ungrateful villain.
