NOVEL WEB Chapter 13: 13
### **Akash's Third Eye - Part 12: The Ultimate Truth (or New Beginnings)**
#### **Prologue: The Opening Door**
There was **no one to knock on the door**... except a **shiny blue letter** that had fallen on the ground. It read:
**"Your journey is yet incomplete.
To know the ultimate truth,
'Close your eyes'
And 'Look within yourself'."**
Akash did just that.
#### **Chapter 1: The Universe Within**
As soon as he closed his eyes:
- His body disappeared
- He floated in infinite darkness
- Then suddenly millions of stars lit up
He found himself at the center of a giant galaxy, where:
- Every star was a thought
- Every planet was an experience
- Every black hole was a mystery
#### **Chapter 2: The Four Gatekeepers**
Four giant figures appeared before him:
1. "Zero" - the one who had the answers to all questions
2. "Infinity" - the one who contained all possible worlds
3. "Memory" - the one who stored all the lifetimes of the sky
4. "Future" - the one who held innumerable possibilities
Shunya said:
*"Choose...
Either become **omniscient**
or **ignorant** again."*
#### **Chapter 3: The Secret of Maya**
Akash asked: *"Is all this real or an illusion?"*
Ananta replied laughingly:
*"What you see is your reality. We are all **projections of your mind**."*
Then the memory showed Akash **all his past lives**.
The future showed **innumerable possible futures**.
#### **Chapter 4: The Final Decision**
Sky decided:
*"I don't want to be omniscient, nor ignorant.
I just want to be... **I am.***
#### **Chapter 5: The Great Deluge and Rebirth**
With his words:
- The whole universe began to **shrink**
- All the stars, planets, galaxies were absorbed into his third eye
- A **void** prevailed...
And then...
#### **Epilogue: The First Breath**
Sky opened his eyes in **a new body**. He was in a small village where:
- He had no third eye
- He had no boat
- He had no mystical powers
But when he looked up at the sky, the whole sky looked like one giant blue eye...
And he smiled.
