Chapter 258 Finale
"You're looking for death!" Shen Yijin's provocation successfully angered the world consciousness, and He sent down thunder from the sky. Lightning bolts as thick as buckets struck Shen Yijin all at once, determined to kill him.
The thunder fell too quickly, not giving Shen Yijin any chance to dodge.
Shen Yijin took the thunder by surprise, lightning exploded from his internal organs, and pain suddenly spread throughout his body.
Even though he was well prepared and managed not to make a sound, his throat inevitably felt hot and he spat out blood.
"Yijin, are you okay?" Nan Mingcheng hurried over and fed Shen Yijin some pills. He didn't know any medical skills and was not sure what Shen Yijin's current condition was. He could only frown and worry.
Nan Mingcheng regretted it very much. He was obviously very close to Chen Yijin just now, but he failed to react and take the thunder for Chen Yijin.
But he soon didn't have to worry anymore, because the world consciousness didn't intend to give the two a chance to catch their breath, and the second lightning struck down soon, and it was even thicker than the previous one.
Nan Mingcheng summoned all the magic weapons he had refined during this period to resist this thunder tribulation. Chen Yijin also used his spiritual power to prop up a protective shield to cover himself and Nan Mingcheng.
The lightning was intercepted in mid-air, and both men had beads of cold sweat on their foreheads, but the difference in strength was too great, and they only resisted for a few seconds before the lightning broke through all defenses and struck them straight at it.
At the critical moment, Nan Mingcheng grabbed Shen Yijin's arm and pulled her under him, then used his back to block the lightning.
This time, the world consciousness was determined to kill Shen Yijin and the other person under the thunder, and did not hold back.
Nan Mingcheng bore most of the lightning and was struck unconscious, with only a faint breath left.
Although Chen Yijin was held tightly in Nan Mingcheng's arms, she was also greatly shocked. Seeing Nan Mingcheng become like this in order to protect her, she felt very uncomfortable.
But she also knew that this was not the time to be sad, so she forced herself to get up from the ground, barely supporting her body with the help of the Evil-Slaying Sword.
The world consciousness thought that Shen Yijin and the other person had been killed by it, and snorted coldly, not intending to cast its gaze towards the lower world again. Unexpectedly, when it was about to withdraw its gaze, Shen Yijin stood up again.
He became annoyed and mobilized all his strength to create a thunderbolt that was powerful enough to destroy the entire Jiuxuan Sect: "Humph, I'll see how you survive this time!"
Thunder and lightning struck, and the depression in the heart of the World Consciousness dissipated, as if the current scene finally proved to Him that His choice was correct, and all the factors that interfered with His efforts to restore order had been eliminated by Him.
He was so proud that he didn't notice that Shen Yijin, who was about to be struck to death, suddenly raised a faint smile.
Shen Yijin was about to be struck to death by lightning along with all the people of the Jiuxuan Sect, but he did not feel fear or guilt, but felt fortunate instead.
She had just provoked the world consciousness and angered Him in order to sense His breath and determine His location.
Now, at the critical moment of life and death, she finally sensed His breath and finally seized the chance to survive.
Without any hesitation, Shen Yijin ignited his soul, used the merits and faith he had accumulated for a long time to draw a formation, and took him to a future that had not been interfered with.
"Damn it, what did you do!" The burning of the soul consumed too much of Shen Yijin's energy. Before she recovered from the dizziness, she heard the roar of the world consciousness.
It was pitch black in front of him. Shen Yijin couldn't see the surroundings. He panicked a little, but said calmly: "This is five thousand years after you took control. You might as well open your eyes and take a good look. Without your so-called 'righting the wrongs', the future of this world is still bright."
Having lost her vision, Shen Yijin was very afraid that the surrounding environment would be different from what she said. Instead of persuading the world consciousness, it made Him more determined to destroy mankind.
But fortunately, her worries did not come true.
The world consciousness looked around in disbelief, refusing to believe that the scene before it was real.
"How is it possible? The vegetation coverage rate has increased by 25%. With so many people, how can the environment not be polluted? If there were not enough resources, humans should have started a war long ago... No, all this is not true. In the real world, five thousand years from now, the world should be devastated and in ruins..."
Although the world consciousness denied it verbally, it knew in its heart that everything it saw was real.
He could sense that this was indeed five thousand years later.
Without His intervention, humans can coexist with this world, and the world will not be destroyed because of humans.
“Why is it like this? Humans are obviously selfish. They can wantonly destroy the environment and kill lives for the slightest benefit... Why would it be like this five thousand years later..." The world consciousness couldn't figure it out. He deduced again and again, but he could not deduce the development of these five thousand years.
In his deduction, humans will be able to destroy everything in two hundred years, and the world will become a wasteland.
Chen Yijin listened to the murmur of the world consciousness and felt at peace.
She forced a smile and said, "Humans are not static. Like you, after realizing our mistakes, we will find ways to make up for them and avoid them. It's just that humans don't have the power you have. We still have human nature, so we won't do things as extreme as you."
The world consciousness choked when he heard this. He still didn't think that his choice was wrong, but the facts were before him. Shen Yijin proved to him that humans were not hopeless yet. Everything he had done before was like a joke.
"Oh, so what? I am the world consciousness. The direction of this world's development is decided by me!" After a moment of silence, the world consciousness suddenly laughed. He mobilized the power of the world and wanted to go back five thousand years to continue his unfinished business.
Even if it was wrong, so what? He had already paid too much for this day, and now that things had come to this, He was determined to continue making the mistake.
Shen Yijin was shocked when she heard this. She hurriedly tried to stop the world consciousness, but her soul was about to burn out and she was no longer able to stop the world consciousness.
Time began to go backwards, and just when the world consciousness was about to return to the past, the time around them stopped.
A long sigh sounded, and panic flashed in the eyes of the world consciousness.
"Lian, stop it. You were the one who convinced me in the beginning. Now, don't do anything that will make me regret."
The world consciousness subconsciously refuted: "No, Lord God, you were right before, I was wrong, everything I did was for you! There is nothing wrong, mankind should have perished in the first place, Lord, you should know this better than me!"
The God, who should have completely disappeared, also wanted to know whether his decision was correct, so he secretly left behind a trace of his consciousness.
He had no intention of showing up, but seeing that Lian was about to make a big mistake, He had to speak up: "Lian, you are wrong, and I am wrong too. As world consciousness, we should not interfere with the operation of the world, and we should not be biased towards any side. It's a pity that I didn't understand this at the time. Now nothing has happened. Don't follow in my footsteps. Stop it and don't harm the world anymore."
The world consciousness was stunned. It didn't expect that its own God would say this.
He was unwilling to stop there and wanted to argue with his Lord God.
But his power began to dissipate, and Lian, no longer worthy of being the world's consciousness, no longer had the power to control the world.
"No!" Lian walked towards destruction unwillingly, his soul transformed into the power to keep the world running, and he used everything he had to make up for his mistakes.
And the power to control the world was integrated into Shen Yijin's soul, so that she would not dissipate due to the burning of her soul.
The last consciousness of the Lord God will also return to the embrace of the world. Before leaving, He told Shen Yijin: "New world consciousness, please remember, just watch and do nothing, the world will choose its own future..."
——
The huge thunder in the sky of Jiuxuan Sect disappeared in the blink of an eye. Tourists who had not walked far found that the wonder they had just photographed was gone, and they all gathered online to discuss whether the huge thunder had ever appeared.
Yi Shu saw the message Shen Yijin sent her and finally breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that the crisis was resolved.
After the officials received this news, they were completely relieved.
After this incident, the authorities did not slack off because the crisis was resolved. Instead, they stepped up their efforts to protect the environment and strive to nip in the bud all factors that are not conducive to world development.
The future of this world will only be better than the future that Shen Yijin has been to with world consciousness.
Inside the Jiuxuan Sect.
Nan Mingcheng took his last breath.
Chen Yijin pulled Nan Mingcheng's soul out of the underworld and gave him half of his new power, and Nan Mingcheng came back to life.
“Yijin, why did you share your power with me? This is…” Realizing where the power in his body came from, Nan Mingcheng was about to return it to Shen Yijin, but was stopped.
Chen Yijin smiled and held Nan Mingcheng's hand: "We can't use this power even if we take it, it doesn't matter who we give it to. Besides, why should we be so clear about the difference between the two of us?"
Nan Mingcheng was startled, then realized what Shen Yijin meant, and said in surprise: "Yijin, is that what I understood? Really, am I dreaming?"
“I was planning on going to the Civil Affairs Bureau later, but since you think you’re dreaming, forget it.” Shen Yijin withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, with a cunning light in his eyes.
Nan Mingcheng quickly said, "No, I just heard everything! Yijin, you can't go back on your word!"
Nan Mingcheng, who had just come back to life, became so excited that he spat out blood again.
Shen Yijin didn't dare tease him anymore, and it took a long time to comfort him.
The two of them were together imagining the future, and Chen Yijin suddenly sighed: "It's just that the fusion of the two worlds stops here. We can't go back to the Xuanling World in the future. We can only guard the gate here."
The fusion of the two worlds was suspended due to the disappearance of the lotus, but the fusion had already progressed more than halfway and could not be stopped. The best result would be to leave a door connecting the two worlds as it is now. People from the two worlds could communicate with each other through this door, and the order of the two worlds would not be disrupted due to the restrictions of the door.
With this door and official operation, both worlds will develop better.
It's just a pity for Shen Yijin and the others. They can't interfere with the development, and they have to guard the gate to prevent people with ulterior motives from using it to do bad things.
"As long as I can be with you, anywhere is fine. And didn't you say that the location of the boundary gate is not completely fixed? If you miss the master, we can temporarily put the boundary gate in front of the master's house. It's just moving the boundary gate to a different place, which doesn't count as interfering with development."
"If you really do this, Master will be angry. Also, we haven't become Taoist partners yet, so don't call me Master like that!"
"It's only a matter of time! Besides, Master has known my thoughts for a long time. In Master's heart, we have been a couple for a long time..."
"What? Why didn't I see you had this in mind before?"
…
In the distance, Shan Shunan and Jin Huihui watched Chen Yijin and her partner leaning against each other and talking sweet nothings, and they were too embarrassed to get closer.
"The special department said they want to discuss with Master the follow-up trade matters with the Xuanling Realm. I also want to ask Master if it's possible to cooperate with the Jiuxuan Sect of the Xuanling Realm to develop the tourism industry... but, shouldn't I go over and disturb them now?" Shan Shunan touched his nose, feeling a bit caught in a dilemma.
Jin Huihui curled her lips, thinking that the senior brother was too tactless: "If you want to be beaten, just move over!"
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left. Shan Shunan didn't dare to disturb Shen Yijin and Nan Mingcheng, and hurriedly followed Jin Huihui: "I just said that, and I didn't intend to disturb the master. So, what do you think we should tell the people in the special department later?"
"This is your business, Big Brother. It's not my business. How would I know what to say?"
Shan Shunan frowned and pulled Jin Huihui to find the people from the special department.
Chen Yijin saw Shan Shunan and the other person walking away from the corner of his eye, and the curve of his mouth grew wider and wider.
She sighed sincerely: "It's so good now!"
It’s great that humanity has not perished and she can see her master and fellow disciples again, and that Nan Mingcheng is guarding the gate with her.
Nan Mingcheng leaned over and kissed the corner of Shen Yijin's lips: "Don't worry, things will get better in the future."
"Well, let's witness it together."
