Everything Has an End, Everything Has a Beginning (The End)

If you were truly born from the collective evil of the world, why does evil only give you power, but not disappear with your passing?

Why is it that only your power is related to the evils of the world, while the suffering of the world is not related to you?

Why is it that when you draw upon the power of evil, you are the master of evil, yet when you try to tame it, you are powerless?

After agonizing over the moral dilemma of whether to destroy the Demon King or save him, Zhuanli finally discovers an incomprehensible existential problem.

Why is the association between the Demon King and evil so selective?

Human beings' natural tendency to seek advantage and avoid harm will make people habitually avoid the core issues. The closer we get to the core of the problem, the less likely we are to talk about it, as if the core of the problem has a magnetic repulsion.

The world-ending crisis triggered by the Demon King has somehow managed to ignore everyone's attention. They've gone from discussing the Big Bang to the birth of the universe, from moral issues to philosophical questions, but the Demon King himself is simply overlooked.

His threat level is negligible, the source of his ability to cause the Earth to explode when he's in a bad mood is negligible, the actual evil he commits is negligible, the issues stemming from him could be discussed for hundreds of pages, and he himself actually tacitly approves of it.

But when Senri truly looked directly at the Demon King, he realized that this Demon King, who only had to bear the power and not the negative effects, and who unconditionally crushed everyone, was the most incredible being.

Like a sandbox game, immersing oneself in the rules of the game allows one to explore various philosophical questions.

If you think back on it, you'll find an even more serious problem: Why does the little blue man have the advantage of wielding a knife and possessing overwhelming power from the start?

Realizing this, Zhuanli was no longer able to think about any of the questions he had considered before.

Discussions about issues within the rules are based on the premise that the rules are reasonable. If the rules are unreasonable, then every question that has been seriously considered will only make people laugh.

The male protagonist roared and slammed his strongest power into the earth. The earth-shattering shockwave stirred up layers of waves, and the entire Yaolizong Immortal Mountain was shattered under the huge shockwave.

The male protagonist looked at the utterly destroyed human world and felt a strange sense of pleasure rising in his heart, which quickly returned to nothingness.

Even with a thousand grievances, there was only one person who could stand by his side in the end. That person was the one he hated the most, and also the one who left the deepest mark on his heart.

He wanted to go over and see what Zhuan Li looked like in his final moments, but as he approached, the smoke cleared, and Zhuan Li, who was covered in blood, suddenly opened his eyes and gave him a smile similar to Ye Xiqing's.

Male lead: ...

How is that possible?!

Saying he has a strong ability to withstand hardship might just mean he hasn't experienced the kind of suffering that would break him. The male protagonist has endured all kinds of hardship in his life, but he has never experienced the kind of hardship that comes with real strength. If he were to encounter it suddenly, wouldn't he break down?

The demonic clouds on the horizon were boiling like a prison. The male protagonist roared in disbelief. For someone who often loses, even if he loses to the very end, he can only accept it with resentment.

For someone who wins all the time, just being in a stalemate is enough to drive them crazy.

The male protagonist suffered many pitiful tragedies, but his fate remained on the right track. How could someone with absolute power truly lose his way?

This time, however, he finally succumbed to utter madness. The heavy blow of fate blew his course off course for the first time!

Zhuan Li drew out the Thunder Whip, which was originally named Du'e, but she now wanted to rename it Tianzhu.

The natal magic weapon, following the thoughts of its true master, flickered with strange lightning, as if it were a living thing, and emitted bursts of dragon roars.

Looking down at the Demon King, Zhuan Li realized for the first time that the Demon King, whom he had assumed was invincible and dared not even look directly at, only daring to avoid the core and indirectly "save" him, actually had nothing commendable about his character.

How did he become a world's nightmare?

I thought Ye Xiqing's battle with the male protagonist was exciting enough, but after the true master of the Heavenly Punishment appeared, I realized just how powerful this whip could be.

Heavenly Punishment was like a true divine retribution, tearing everything apart. The once invincible demonic cloud was instantly shredded into countless pieces.

Spatial turbulence erupted from the torn spatial rift, and the entire world seemed to be corroded and peeled away.

The male protagonist possesses the ability to maintain the world's program and enjoys the system's favor, yet he suffers repeated defeats under the onslaught of the tyrannical and domineering protagonist.

The world taught him neither how to love nor how to face unexpected resistance and failure.

The male protagonist, his demonic heart shattered, almost begged for mercy as he wept before Zhuan Li: "Why can you pity the people of the world, but not me!"

Zhuan Li's cold gaze pierced through him: "Because you used a power that you yourself don't understand, and tried to make the whole world cater to your greed!"

Zhuan Li had experienced three lifetimes in the illusion. In her first life, she stumbled around blindly and lived her life in a daze.

In her second life, she discovered a demon king who embodied all evil in the world, and her relationship with evil was surprisingly free.

In her third life, she discovered the solution to evil and the nature of evil.

In the aftermath of the cataclysmic destruction, what echoed in other parts of the world was not screams of agony, but rather the glowing of golden magic circles.

During the previous Immortal War, the people had had enough of being forced to prostrate themselves when a high-level immortal came to exert pressure. Through the joint efforts of everyone, the formations in each residential area have become very perfect.

When the overwhelming calamity descends, the first thing to light up is the protective magic circle. When those inside are infected and thrown into chaos, those who are not infected will knock them unconscious with a single blow.

All the powerful humans who stepped forward to quell the chaos, those who were too close to the core of the battle to withstand the corrosive power of the chaotic energy, would immediately flee in their spaceships.

Humanity has been cultivating immortality for almost two hundred years now, no longer the chaotic, haphazardly dying humans and machines of the past.

Three roars came from afar, and a human figure, a tiger figure, and a bear figure rose out of thin air, suppressing the ever-collapsed world. A sharp sword also pierced through the air, grazing the demon's nose and nailing itself into the collapsing space.

Watching the golden arrays rise one after another, Zhuan Li couldn't help but laugh. Saving the world—what a ridiculous phrase!

Clearly, every rule in this world is depriving living beings of the ability to save themselves, and taking away their strength. How can we possibly save ourselves in such a deteriorating environment?

Zhuan Li no longer wanted to be this savior. She emptied her mind and faced the Demon King directly: "What virtue or ability do you have to represent all the evils of the world?"

The male protagonist experienced such fear for the first time. He wanted to escape. The system's assistance was still with him, but he wanted to run away. Fear gripped all his senses, and all he wanted was to survive.

But a lightning whip crackling with blue electricity wrapped around his neck.

When the chaos first broke out, there was chaos both externally and internally, and everyone was caught off guard.

But ultimately, there were too many humans, more normal people than mutants, and everyone quickly subdued the troublemakers.

The evil that provided the Demon King with power was dealt with by the villagers themselves before even leaving the starting village.

So if you truly represent all evil in the world, should you still have power now?

The male protagonist screamed in agony. His once invincible power was gradually crumbling away as the female protagonist spoke. He looked at Zhuan Li in despair—

"But what did I do wrong! I don't want to have this uncontrollable power! If I could, I would rather be a peaceful and happy ordinary person!"

Zhuan Li and Ye Xiqing are two different people. Even if they walk the same path, she is much more righteous than Ye Xiqing.

"It's not entirely your fault. You're just a little boy who can't control his own power. Ultimately, no one should represent the good or the evil of the world."

"So as you wish, be an ordinary person in your next life!"

The power of the battle between the two main protagonists gradually exceeded the limits of the world, and many "loopholes" appeared. Everyone looked at the world as if it were the end of the world, with holes everywhere in front of them.

The whole world was collapsing, and boundless darkness was spreading, but a brand new sun suddenly rose into the sky. After reaching its maximum light, it suddenly dissipated, turning into a sky full of fire that flew into the brows of everyone.

Zhuanli no longer prays to save all living beings; she only lights a lamp in the hearts of all living beings.

If the world is at peace, people can live and work in peace and contentment; if evil has already occurred, then let the fire of resentment ignite and let the blade in your heart shine!

The desire to kill should be considered an evil thought.

Even evil thoughts are such a private matter.

...

The road was long and the starry sky was vast. The roars of wild beasts sounded particularly terrifying, but a little girl with short arms and legs was stumbling along the desolate road.

If she accidentally trips and falls, she doesn't cry, she gets up and continues to fidget with her short legs.

She was fearless, but the person secretly observing her couldn't stand it any longer. He jumped out and grabbed her by the back of the neck, demanding, "What do you think you're doing!"

Xiao Qing was captured, but she didn't panic. Instead, she turned around and honestly said, "I want to go to the corner of the sky to watch the sunrise."

Aono abruptly turned her face away; she was allergic to this unusually familiar face.

With a low, menacing tone, he grabbed the little creature and brought it to his mouth, roaring, "Didn't I say I wasn't taking you?! And you ran away from home!"

Xiaoqing curled up obediently: This way, we can achieve our goal faster.

Once caught by her parents, Xiao Qingli lost all her strength and ability, and obediently hugged her senior sister's neck.

She lived in a quiet little village and had three senior female classmates, so she should have received good care.

But for some reason, her second senior sister always lay to the side, looking at her with strange eyes. Qing Li always felt that she wanted to put her head in her mouth like a candy.

Her third senior sister, on the other hand, would sunbathe in the morning, sunbathe after lunch, and sunbathe under the moon in the evening, without ever giving her a second glance.

Only the hot-tempered senior sister, despite her temper, was the most normal person.

She knew all along that if she ran away from home, her senior sister would come after her; she was so clever.

Aono angrily picked up the little thing in her hand. Someone had given her a lotus flower earlier, saying that it could grow some different things.

Ah yes, yes, it's definitely different; it produced an ancestor.

She had no idea why the brat would act on such a whim, but there was nothing she could do but speed up towards the ends of the earth, otherwise she wouldn't get there before sunrise and her ancestors would pout at her again.

The spaceship traveled through the clouds. Qingli sat on the spaceship, clinging to the side of the ship and looking out, eager to see what it was like outside.

But all that met her eyes was darkness. Apart from the occasional flash of lights from the residential area, there was nothing else. Qingli was somewhat disappointed.

After the catastrophe, people surveyed the landscape and divided the land into countless residential areas. This was not only out of reverence for nature, but also because people depend on nature to survive. We can overcome anything, but we don't need nature. If we don't take it, who will feed us?

Under effective monitoring, we can control residential areas and population to achieve a harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature.

Human creativity is boundless, and soon all sorts of interesting things were developed. Qingli was actually very interested, but everyone was asleep now.

Turning to look pitifully at her senior sister, Aono's hair instantly stood on end in a rage: "Who told you to come out in the middle of the night!"

Qingli: ...

She didn't look at the ship's side, but at the sky.

Even though you can't see the underground scenery, watching the spaceships drifting through the Milky Way is still a wonderful experience.

Looking up at the bright stars, she asked, "Senior sister, will you go to the stars someday?"

Aono immediately turned into an enraged lion: "Get lost, and don't curse me."

"Oh." Qingli nodded: "Then, Senior Sister, will you ascend to the Upper Realm?"

"And don't curse me with that!"

Nowadays, everyone in the mortal realm is cultivating immortality, and there must be a common goal; everyone is striving for ascension.

Before they could even react, everyone was marked with the Heavenly Seal and fell into the web of cause and effect.

The concept of cause and effect is not relevant to ordinary people who haven't reached the transcendent realm, unless they've committed extremely serious sins that have resulted in severe consequences.

Once one desires to transcend the ranks of mortals and become a true immortal, one will be relentlessly pursued by the karma accumulated over countless lifetimes. On one hand, this means having to respond to all karma, resulting in an explosive amount of calculations; on the other hand, it allows for precise targeting of dangerous individuals.

After the immortals clearly sensed the existence of the Heavenly Dao, the entire nation began cultivating immortality, but becoming a true immortal became increasingly difficult.

Even after expending tremendous effort to become an immortal, one still has to undergo regular assessments. If one fails, one is still sent into the cycle of reincarnation. Only after passing the assessments can one ascend to immortality and leave the mortal realm.

Qingye couldn't figure out how someone could come up with such a brilliant idea. He looked at Xiao Qingli with a sinister gaze and said, "If you understood what the Heavenly Dao is, you wouldn't have any expectations for ascension."

Qingli let out a long "oh" and then asked, "So, Senior Sister, don't you want to become an immortal?"

Qingye replied without hesitation, "Of course not. Mortals have a limit to their lifespan. I will definitely ascend to the upper realm when I am about to die to extend my life."

"Oh." Qing Li nodded emphatically, then turned to look at her: "So, when are you going to die, Senior Sister?"

Aono:……

"When I die is none of your business!"

"Really? But I'll be very sad if you die, senior sister. I want to prepare myself mentally."

Aono:……

Then don't make me angry while I'm still alive! I'm so angry I'm about to ascend to heaven!

I was frustrated eight times along the way, but thankfully we finally arrived at our destination.

The "corner of the sky" that Qingli mentioned was completely different from the "ends of the earth" that Ye Xiqing had taken her to before.

After the disaster, the land where they lived inexplicably turned into a sphere, with no more ends of the earth, and became a unified whole, and the chaotic primordial energy that had enveloped them completely dissipated.

The world is no longer blocked. Instead, the old site of the Yaoli Sect, which was destroyed by the great war, has become the new Corner of the Sky. It is surrounded by terrifying relics of gods and demons. Even Qingye cannot use his immortal power. He can only carry Qingli on his shoulders and climb up the mountain little by little.

Since attaining enlightenment, Aono had never put in this kind of effort again, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth in anger: "Why did you insist on coming to the edge of the sky to watch the sunrise?"

Qingli looked up at her panting face: "I don't know, it feels like something here is calling to me."

Aono:……

Okay, let's go!

While cursing inwardly, wondering who was so annoying as to create this pointless ritual, I angrily climbed 10,000 steps.

When the former Overlord Sword Saint Emperor was panting like a dog, he finally reached the top of the highest mountain, and the sky was already slightly red.

Looking down at the sun about to break through the sea of ​​clouds, Aono was exhausted: "Now can you tell me why?"

Qingli looked at her and tilted her head: "I don't know either, but a voice told me to watch the sun rise without blinking."

Qingye never expected this answer. He wanted to curse, but he quickly turned Xiaoqingli's head to face him: "Then look! Look!"

Qingli's gaze was fixed on the sea of ​​clouds that was gradually being dyed red by the rising sun, her eyes fixed on it.

The moment the sun peeked out, Xiao Qingli cheered, "Senior Sister! It's out!"

Aono had no idea what the meaning of watching the sunrise was, but such a magnificent sight was hard not to be moved. Her smile softened, and she hugged Xiao Qingli into her arms, watching the sun slowly rise together.

For those watching on screen, it was an ordinary scene; for those watching off screen, however, there was utter silence.

The world is in a cycle, flowing forward.

Ye Xiqing slowly walked out of the last world: "System, have I completed all the tasks?"

Author's Note: Alright, countdown to the end!

This volume is now complete. I'll dedicate a separate volume to the final two chapters of the grand finale! How extravagant!

I've shifted perspectives quite a bit, and I'm afraid there might be some misunderstandings, so I'd like to clarify: all the separations after the original female lead was released are now based on the original female lead.

Why? Because Qingqing would never reveal herself for any reason [laughing and crying emoji].
