New owner
Nothingness is the only background color at this moment.
The splendor of the old Heaven, the glory of the immortals and gods, and even the traces of the existence of the Emperor of Heaven, were completely annihilated in the collision that determined the fate of the era, and returned to this forcibly reset "nothingness".
Ao Guang hovered at the center of this absolute nothingness, his black robe seemingly merging with the endless void. He closed his eyes slightly, as if sensing and adapting to the unimpeded, complete authority of the Heavenly Dao, now completely absorbed within him. An absolute will, transcending all things and controlling all cycles of birth and death, slowly spread out from him, beginning to redefine this void and outline the outlines of a new world.
He is Heaven. He is Tao. He is the new source of this universe.
Then, he opened his eyes, and the pair of eyes of nothingness, with the left eye showing extinction and the right eye showing chaos, crossed the short distance of time and space and fell on Yinglong.
She stood there, her crimson armor radiating a restrained yet powerful light against the void, a trace of his power's reshaping. Her eyes were complex and incomprehensible as she gazed upon the void that had buried all of the old era, upon her "husband" who wielded the new heavenly way.
He extended his hand toward her. His palm was long, his knuckles distinct. It no longer held the cold, dead stillness of the underworld, but instead held a gentle quality that conveyed the feeling of mastery over both creation and end—the manifestation of ultimate power, a return to its original simplicity.
"From now on,"
His voice echoed in the void, no longer carrying the previous madness and paranoia, nor the arrogance of a winner, but only a calmness and certainty as if stating the truth of the universe.
"In the Three Realms and Six Paths, I alone reign supreme."
"And you,"
His eyes met hers, and deep in those empty eyes, something seemed to settle down, turning into an unquestionable possession and companionship.
"Share this...eternity with me."
No questions, no discussions. It was still a declaration. But this time, it was based on already realized, unshakable facts.
Yinglong looked at the hand reaching out to him, then raised his eyes to look at his eyes that already controlled the way of heaven but still reflected his reflection clearly.
Thousands of thoughts flashed through my mind like flowing lights.
A thousand years of waiting in the East China Sea, Yao Chi's heart-wrenching determination, the struggling defense in the Netherworld, the earth-shattering transformation in the ancient palace, until just now... The old Heaven collapsed in his hands like a sand castle, and the Emperor of Heaven was silently annihilated between his fingers.
Madness, paranoia, destruction, rebirth, and ultimately... the control that transcends everything.
The starting point of all this comes from her.
At the end of all this, she is also in the game.
She had been his obsession, his fate, and the fuse of his madness and destruction.
Now, she has become the only one who is sure to accompany him forever after he reshapes the world.
Is it redemption? Is it possession? Or is it the only unchanging core of the twisted cause and effect?
She doesn't know.
She only knew that when he "proposed" to her with the three realms as a bet, she had no choice.
She did not stop him as he devoured the laws and seized power in front of her.
When he and the Emperor of Heaven fought the final battle that would determine the change of eras, she could only watch.
Now, the old sky has changed and the new master has been established.
He extended his hand to her, inviting her to share this eternity that was purchased at the cost of countless immortal bones and the complete destruction of the old era.
Does she still have a choice?
Perhaps, since the words "wait for me to come back" a thousand years ago, her choice has already been destined.
Yinglong slowly raised his hand.
There is no hesitation, no struggle, only the final silence and resignation after experiencing too many ups and downs.
She placed her hand in his palm.
The moment he touched her, a warm and powerful force containing the origin of the new Heavenly Dao flowed gently into her limbs and bones along their clasped hands, blending perfectly with her immortal body that he had reshaped.
This was no longer a restoration, but a bestowal. It was the Lord of the New Heavenly Dao sharing authority and jointly elevating the life level of his only recognized "partner."
She could feel her life form leaping towards a level beyond her previous cognition, establishing a fundamental connection with this new world.
"Ao Guang" - perhaps at this moment, he should be called the New Emperor of Heaven - held her hand and tightened it slightly.
He took her hand and took a step forward.
The nothingness beneath his feet began to evolve according to his will.
The clear and turbid air separate, and the yin and yang energies flow.
Earth, water, fire and wind emerged, and the stars, sun and moon began to take shape.
The shadows of mountains and rivers stretch beneath my feet, and the buds of plants and living things are nurtured within my concept...
With his supreme power, he began to reorder the earth, water, fire and wind on the ruins that buried the old world, and re-create the universe!
It is no longer the old structure of heaven, but a new order that completely follows his own will and integrates the characteristics of extinction and chaos.
He held her hand and walked in this new world that was being born.
Like the god of creation, he and his queen patrolled their kingdom together.
"The old era is over."
He spoke, and his voice echoed throughout this newborn world like the preface to a law.
"From now on, the order of the Three Realms will be redefined by me."
"The fate of all souls is determined by my heart."
"And you," he turned his head and looked at her, his eyes that controlled the way of heaven clearly reflecting her figure, "stay with me, overseeing this new eternity."
Yinglong followed him silently, watching the surroundings evolve rapidly and emerge from nothing, feeling the new authority of the Heavenly Dao that was closely connected with himself.
No joy, no excitement.
There is only a deep feeling of unreality, as if one is in a grand dream.
She became the mistress of this new world.
Sharing eternity with an existence that she had saved with her own hands, but that ultimately devoured the old world and ascended to the summit of the new heaven.
Is this fortunate or unfortunate?
She doesn't know.
She only knew that when his hand held hers tightly, and when the new sunlight (perhaps it could no longer be called sunlight) shone on them, the long journey that had gone through countless madness, blood, fire and destruction seemed to have finally... reached an end.
An end that begins with destruction and ends with control...
Is the eternity ahead a cage or a destination?
Only time can give the answer.
In the new world, two figures stood side by side, overlooking the mountains and rivers taking shape beneath their feet.
An era has come to an end.
A new era begins.
And their stories have become the first... legends and laws of this new heaven.
