the existed vs the exist

Both phrases are not correct in English. The correct form would be 'the existing' or 'the existence'. 'The existed' is incorrect because 'existed' is the past tense of 'exist', and 'the exist' is incorrect because 'exist' is a verb and needs a noun or adjective to follow it.
