Chapter 312 The Beginning and End of Everything

The endless black sea of ​​fire burned everything in the world, and the cracked earth was filled with boiling magma.

A huge purple portal stands in this land full of distortion and death.

From time to time, ferocious monsters would walk out of it. They had distorted faces, huge bodies, and emitted strange smells.

They have huge wings, black or dark red skin, sharp claws and fangs, and vertical pupils that glow red, revealing malice and greed.

These are a group of demons that only exist in myths, but now they appear alive on this earth.

Not far from them, a city stands proudly, with countless humans living in it.

Under normal circumstances, the devil would definitely break into the city and kill these people as soon as possible.

However, nowadays, the demons always stay outside the city and dare not cross the line.

The believers knelt devoutly in front of the church in the square. The door was open. A man stood up, his face full of enthusiasm, holding a baby in his arms. He walked into the church, slowly knelt down in front of the throne, held the baby's hands forward, and handed them to Chiyou.

This is the first little life in this city, and it is also Chiyou’s hope that he can gain more faith.

Chiyou gently placed his hand on the baby's head, leaving a mark with a faint glow.

Chiyou withdrew his hand, and the man lowered his head, holding the baby, and slowly walked out. Just as the door was about to close again, Chiyou, who had been sitting on the throne without any expression for a long time, suddenly stood up from the chair.

In his sight, a door emitting a faint glow opened in mid-air.

Chiyou's heart was beating fast. This door was calling him.

It looks like this is the door mentioned in the human skin book.

I just don’t know what’s behind it.

Chiyou didn't hesitate at all and turned into a stream of light and came to the door.

He knew that the door would appear, so he made a lot of preparations.

For example, leaving coordinates here, holding the resurrection crystal, and letting the clone explore the way first.

However, the clone disappeared the moment it touched the door, and the skill went into cooldown.

Obviously, only his real body can pass through this door.

There is no need to hesitate.

Even if he is a god in this world, except for these brainwashed believers, the rest are low-IQ demons who walked out of the gate of hell. It is really boring and meaningless to stay here.

Chiyou touched the door, and the next moment, his consciousness suddenly shook, and then he slowly regained his sight.

He emerged into a high-ceilinged corridor.

The corridor is about twenty meters high and nearly ten meters wide. The relief on the left wall is extremely strange and reveals evil.

The relief on the right wall is extremely sacred.

The carpet is divided into two colors in the middle, black on the left and white on the right.

There is also an open door at the end of the corridor.

Behind Chiyou was a closed door. He tried to pull it a few times, but the door would not open at all. He had no choice but to move forward.

"I can still feel the power of faith pouring in. The world has changed, but faith has not been blocked."

Chiyou felt a little more confident. He walked forward on the soft carpet. In a moment he reached the door and walked in slowly.

"Small pieces! Die!"

Before Chiyou could see what was behind the gate after he passed through it, a thunderous roar suddenly exploded in his ears, followed by a divine strike that flashed with fiery light.

Chiyou immediately fought back.

The swords clashed.

The fire of hell and the holy flame instantly swept around.

Chiyou was also able to see clearly the person who suddenly attacked him.

This man has a resolute look, wearing high-tech armor and three pairs of white wings behind him. He holds a two-handed heavy sword with holy white flames burning on it.

Chiyou was shocked and hesitant.

What's going on?

This man clearly possessed the power of an angel, but when he passed through that door, didn't it logically mean that he was encountering a demon?

"My friend, this doesn't seem to be the right thing for you to do."

Just when Chiyou frowned, a clear voice came from the side and a man with a gentle face walked over.

He was wearing bright yellow clothes, holding a fan in his hand and a moon-white long sword hanging at his waist.

"Who are you friends with, you bastard?" The first man looked angry.

The second man remained calm: "Friends or idiots, at least your actions are not in accordance with the rules. If you leave now, I can still pretend that I didn't see it. Otherwise, if the situation gets out of hand, it will be of no benefit to either you or me."

Hearing this, the first man looked angry, but in the end he swung his heavy sword, snorted indignantly, and strode away.

After the man left, the man standing next to Chiyou probably showed a more genuine smile. He clapped his hands and praised, "You are very good. It's a wonderful show. You are worthy of being the one I chose."

"You are the chosen one? You are the one who goes against the will of the world?" Chi You frowned.

"You can say that, but it's not really like that. Come with me, I will tell you everything. Don't be too wary of me. According to your words, you and I are colleagues in the office. I don't quite understand the various terms used in your era." The man smiled.

Suddenly, Chiyou realized something.

"Are you that prince?"

"Ah, prince? That's really an old saying. But the person you are talking about is indeed me." The man smiled and opened his fan, and the door to hell opened. Through the door, Chiyou could see two humanoid creatures in the door.

The man took Chiyou through the gate and then introduced him to him.

He pointed at the muscular man with red skin and said, "This one is Fury."

The other one was a very thin little girl, almost skin and bones, holding a red fruit in her hand and chewing it non-stop: "This one is gluttony."

After the man introduced them, both of them greeted Chiyou. They weren't friendly, but there was no hostility either.

"As for me, you can call me jealous." The man closed his fan.

Chiyou nodded slightly. He finally understood why the man said they were colleagues.

"That man just now was one of the angels?"

Chiyou thought of the man just now. Judging from the style of his armor, he was most likely the man from the future world recorded in Li Shouyun's book.

"He, the power he inherited is Gabriel."

Sure enough, Jealousy's answer was exactly in line with Chiyou's guess.

"Then tell me, what is going on?"

"In short, you should have seen a clip about the war between angels and demons."

"That time, all the angels and demons died, and hell and heaven were completely destroyed. This had a huge impact, so the newly born heaven and hell were ready to rebuild everything."

"Were we chosen by them? Is this all destined?" Chi You frowned.

"Almost. But your victory is not predetermined. The consciousness of Hell and Heaven have been fighting each other, so it is impossible to rebuild. The angels and demons summoned have been fighting endlessly. After a long time, the two sides finally set new rules."

"Each time, each side sends out one person to select someone from among many worlds to inherit the blank demon power or angel power. These two people must be in the same world, and only one of them is destined to survive. Who lives and who dies depends on who chooses the more suitable successor."

"You won this time, so we added a new devil, and heaven lost an angel forever, Michael."

"After failure, the angels will not be able to inherit?"

"That's right. Succession can only be carried out once. Regardless of success or failure, the gap between us will widen rapidly. Although the two sides are still at peace so far, fundamentally, only one side will survive in the end. So when the two sides first negotiate, they are prepared to kill the other. When the two sides are completely separated, it will be time for the final battle. So far, neither side has the advantage."

Chiyou pondered for a moment, then frowned and said, "But it's not fair between the two heirs."

"You mean, Li Shouyun is favored by the world's will, and although you are hated, you have the opportunity to be reborn?" Jealous smiled.

“Yes.”

"There is no way. The will of each world has its own bias. It is rare to find a world that is completely impartial to both sides. Therefore, there is compensation for this situation. For example, in your world, Li Shouyun has the favor of the world's will. As compensation, you get a second life. Of course, it's only once. If you die this time, you will really die. We will also lose our arrogance forever. Although it is still a bit unfair, whether it is for you or Li Shouyun, there is no way. This is the result of the best possible balance, and the will of Hell and Heaven recognizes this balance."

"So what are my responsibilities next?"

"Well, there is no responsibility. Just develop your own kingdom of God. If you need help, we can help you. Before that, you just need to choose the next successor."

"Let me choose?"

"Yes, if a successful person is born, then the next successor will be selected by the successful person. For example, you were selected by me, so you can see my story before I became jealous."

"So if I choose, the successor I choose will also see my story?"

"Yes, it can be expressed in many forms, such as a legend, a play, a written record, a film or television. The more stories he knows about you, the more suitable he is to be the next successor. Even if his world does not contain your stories, he will gradually learn the stories in the process of being hostile to the other party, just like you did before."

"You can choose any demon, but I still suggest that you fill in the seven deadly sins first. So far, except for a few of us, Laziness will disappear forever. You can choose one between Greed and Lust."

Chiyou took the crystal stone handed to him by Jealousy, which contained extremely strong demonic power.

Chiyou injected power into it, and thousands of scenes suddenly appeared before his eyes. There was a person in each scene, and this was the target he was targeting.

Chi You looked around and his eyes finally stopped on a person who was holding a mobile phone and reading a novel.

And among the few lines of text on the phone, Chiyou saw his own name.

"That's you."

After finishing the book

This is the end of this book.

Since each chapter needs a thousand words, I might as well say a little more.

Although the daily updates are not much, only 4,000 words, but I have not stopped updating for more than five months, so I guess it can be considered hard work.

When I first wrote this book, I was actually thinking that I wanted to go against the normal hot-blooded novels and make the mature second male protagonist the villain, and then reveal his true identity in the end. In fact, I had this idea in mind from the beginning, which led to the birth of this book.

At first I expected the word count to be around 400,000 or 500,000 words, but I didn't expect it to be almost 700,000 words in the end (laughs).

But to be honest, although the word count exceeded the limit, in fact, the content was cut down a lot.

This really cuts down a lot.

For example, Chen Qi, whom I spent two chapters describing.

Actually, there was a plot originally, but it was all cut out later.

Otherwise, I think if I push myself a little harder, I should be able to reach a million, but it’s fine like this now, the overall situation has been streamlined a lot.

When I was a reader, I often heard authors say that characters are full of vitality and that authors cannot control them all the time. I used to think that was impossible, but the delay of this book has made me realize this.

I thought about a lot of plots, with twists and turns, slaps in the face, and daily life.

But when I actually started writing and got to the part where Chiyou got involved, I couldn't continue.

Because Chiyou wouldn't do that.

He is not the type of person who would do those things. He would just chop it off.

However, after the cut, only a little bit of the plot was left, and because it was too abrupt, it was simply abandoned.

A clean-cut villain is very attractive, but it is really difficult to make him the protagonist.

Speaking habits, behavioral habits, psychological activities, plus various other things, with this kind of person's personality, all these things will become very simple and straightforward, making it impossible for the plot to unfold properly, because it often ends before it really unfolds.

In the next book, the character of the protagonist will probably be more like a normal person. He may become extreme in the middle or later stages, but at the beginning, he will probably be more normal.

The setting of the next book is still the end of the world, but it is not a zombie apocalypse, but a mythological apocalypse, which can be regarded as another kind of high-level martial arts.

As for the protagonist's abilities, they are more about devouring evolution and are a bit more bloody and violent than Brother Chi.

I quite like bloodiness, but using knives and swords is more cool, and no matter how violent it is, it can't feel as good as real flesh-and-flesh fighting.

As for the female lead, the next book will tentatively have a single female lead, but it is also possible that there will be no female lead. In any case, there will not be multiple female lead characters. I really can't write about harem themes, and I don't really want to write about it.

So the choice is either one with a single female lead or no female lead.

The book distribution date is tentatively scheduled for next Monday, which is the 8th.

During the week, I will take a good rest for a few days and play some games (laughs).

While writing this novel, I also played Cyberpunk for more than 200 hours, which can be said to be time squeezed out.

While playing the game, I felt uneasy and wondered whether I should write some text or not (laughs).

OK, the word count is almost enough, it can be sent out.

Anyway, that’s it. If you are interested in the subject of my next book, you can pay a little attention to it. Check out my author page next week. If nothing goes wrong, there will be one more book out.

Also, when you see the two words "Chiyou", pay attention to them. Maybe you will really become the next successor (laughs).

Oh, by the way, if someone is really chosen, find the author in real life, don’t forget to spare the author’s life (laughing again).

That's it then. See you again if we're lucky. Sprinkle flowers~
