[System prompt: Player Bai Liu won the final game. ]

【Player Bai Liu, please look towards the pool.】

Bai Liu lowered his head, and the pool that had been smashed into a bloody mess split into two parts, with rhythmic applause coming from inside.

"What a wonderful duel." Bai Liu stood beside the hanging Fang Dian, and said with a smile, "The way you executed her lover was a bit like me."

"I just made her merge with the memory of this world line, and she watched with me the entire process of her lover, the prophet, being executed."

"It just so happens that the prophet also lost the game. You helped me execute her in front of her, which saved me some time."

Fang Dian slowly raised her head, tears still in her eyes.

Bai Liu looked at Fang Dian who was hanging up. The moment his eyes met Fang Dian's, he was completely frozen.

【God has given us creation, lovers, friends and relatives. 】

【Then take it away from the Creator, to create pain and brew souls.】

"The narration is over. Now let's enter the evil god succession ceremony." Bai Liu slid his finger downwards, and an old carved door appeared at the bottom of the pool. Bai Liu opened the door a crack, and countless silver-blue light spheres instantly poured out from behind the door.

Bai Liu instantly merged into these spheres, leaving only his smiling voice: "That is, kill me, the old god, and you can become a true god."

"But your current strength is far from enough to kill me."

"Now that you've come here, I can talk to you about your duties as an evil god."

"I believe you already know that I am a product of the gate. I was born to guard the gate. On one side of the gate is an endless stream of silver-blue polluted heretics, and on the other side is a world line that is constantly born from my body."

"But do you want to know how doors are made?"

Bai Liu half-closed his eyes. A large number of spheres appeared in front of his eyes. The light halos from these spheres gathered together, so dazzling that he could not open his eyes. He looked in the direction of Fang Dian and stretched out his hand to grab it, but Fang Dian was instantly swallowed up by these dense spheres and could no longer be seen.

The last person beside him also disappeared.

These spheres formed a wall that encircled and imprisoned Bai Liu, making him unable to move. Bai Liu's voice was hidden in these spheres, and it came through with a smile that was not a smile.

"Originally there was no door. When the ancient gods created the world line, they found that human desires would always lead to the destruction of the world. Their desires would give rise to some strange heretics that polluted the world. In order to make the world line run peacefully and to protect humanity, they gathered together the dangerous desires of humans in all world lines."

"In order to imprison these desires, they created the door and me. I am the guardian of the door, the embodiment of the door. All I have to do is to purify and contain human desires, and to imprison human dangerous desires forever on this side of the door."

"So this side of the door is light and order, and the other side is chaos and darkness. I can only allow the light world line to come to the light side, and the dark world line to come to the dark side."

"But over time, these gods also fell, and only I remained. Because human desires are endless, as long as their evil desires exist, I will exist."

Bai Liu lowered his eyes, looked at the light ball around him, and nodded lightly with a sigh:

"I have existed alone for too long, and I have grown bored of protecting humanity, so I let the dangerous desires and heretics on the other side of the door come through."

"Sure enough, something interesting happened." Bai Liu's laughter became more and more erratic. "I found that without the door as an objective constraint, there is no difference between the world lines on both sides of the door."

"Everyone's desires are equally evil."

"I am increasingly bored of protecting humanity, but when I was created, I could not leave this door. Unless a more suitable person appears, I can only exist as a door."

"But to be a gatekeeper, one needs to be able to remain sober and rational amidst desire and pollution, and one's own soul must be strong enough."

"I have tried many methods in different world lines and found that pain is an important criterion for selecting the quality of souls."

"The more painful the soul is, the more it can stay awake in the midst of desire."

Bai Liu chuckled: "And I have been looking for you for so long, and finally found you, Bai Liu."

The sphere dispersed in an instant, and Bai Liu appeared in front of Bai Liu. He chuckled and looked at Bai Liu, whose pupils contracted:

"Your soul is enough to bear the desires of all world lines. You are more suitable to be the gatekeeper evil god than me."

"Now that I have opened the door, the heretics and monsters on this side will rush to the other side. On the other side are all the normal world lines. Of course—"

"——Including the 658th world line where you are."

Bai Liu pointed at the door, and the door, which was originally just a crack, opened completely, and a ball of silver-blue light inside instantly rushed out.

The moment Bai Liu saw the door open, the silver-blue dust inside quickly condensed into a ball of light, with all kinds of strange and unorthodox scenes flowing inside, with hideous and distorted faces. On the other side, the 657 world lines that had been polluted by Bai Liu were slowly moving towards the door, mixed with the flickering ball of light - the 658 world line where he was.

"The replacement of the evil god requires opening a door, and after the door is opened, the world lines of both sides will move towards the middle of the door." Bai Liu smiled and said, "Because the previous evil god, that is, me, is about to fall. The moment I fall, the door will disappear and the two sides will merge. The darkness will come to the light side, and the light will come to the darkness side."

"That is, the two sides of the door will be inverted."

"What you need to do is to absorb the desires of all world lines during this moment of inversion and stay awake, and the replacement will be completed."

Bai Liu raised his head, blood dripping from his jaw, and said in a hoarse voice: "What about you? Don't I have to kill you?"

"No need." Bai Liu finally smiled and walked out of the light ball completely, "I am the embodiment of desire."

"When you absorb all desires, I no longer exist, or rather, you are born in my place."

"But correspondingly, all the memories of my existence and all the memories of my derivatives' actions in 658 world lines will also be absorbed by you, which is equivalent to you becoming a collection of us."

Bai Liu smiled very friendly: "I don't know if you will still be yourself at that time."

"——Or maybe you become the next me."

"Now, the change begins."

"Oh, I forgot to remind you of your friendship." Bai Liu looked at Bai Liu with a smile, "During the replacement period, as the door, you cannot be moved."

"——You can only watch alone as all the world lines are polluted, degraded, and destroyed in front of you."

"Who said he was alone!" A heavy sword was thrown out from the ball of light, breaking the ball that imprisoned Bai Liu. A clear and hearty female voice came from the ball, "And I'm next to him!"

The moment Bai Liu fell from the light ball wall, he looked dazed. He even staggered due to his injuries and had to be helped to stand up.

"Are you okay?" Fang Dian's voice and smile were the same as always. "Am I not late?"

"Why..." Bai Liu raised his head in disbelief. For the first time, he couldn't help crying. "You're still standing by my side?"

"I'm going to become an evil god."

"So what?" Fang Dian said calmly, "The evil god is also a human being."

"Evil gods can be good or bad."

"If you really become an evil god, I believe you will be a good evil god."

[I think Bai Liu will be a good kid.]

"Good evil god?" Bai Liu chuckled, "Nonsense."

He lowered his eyes and waved his hand downward, and the door opened completely towards Bai Liu. The silver-blue dust inside rushed towards Bai Liu's face like a blizzard, and instantly transformed into all kinds of monsters and heretics, viciously invading the world line on this side of the door.

In just a moment, Bai Liu's eyes turned silver-blue, and countless people's desires and dreams flooded into his brain, shocking his soul into emptiness and making him unable to move.

……don't want.

Bai Liu almost used up all his strength to turn his head and look at the shining world line 658. This world line turned dark and dim in the silver-blue light and was about to reach the other side of the door.

...He doesn't want to forget this world line.

He didn't want to see this world line destroyed in front of him.

Even if he became the Evil God, even if he would have endless world lines in the future, he did not want to just watch the world line that brought him to this point being destroyed.

"I won't let any world line be polluted." Fang Dian raised her heavy sword and stood in front of Bai Liu. She stood in front of the door and looked up at the endless stream of heretics. Her expression was fierce and determined. She raised her heavy sword high and swung it, "I won't let Bai Liu see his world line being polluted!"

"Bright Judgment!"

A huge halo of pure white light burst out from the heavy sword that Fang Dian chopped down, forcing all the monsters to scream and retreat behind the door. Bai Liu stared blankly at Fang Dian's back against the light.

She held the heavy sword in her right hand, and in the hazy light, she said in a firm and calm voice: "I will never let the heretic step through the door."

In the chaos, Bai Liu was already somewhat unconscious due to the erosion of desire. He only remembered seeing the heretics on the other side of the door crawling out continuously, and being beaten back by Fang Dian's roar. She stood beside him again and again, patting his shoulders to keep him awake, and repeatedly using her body to block the world line and him to protect them.

Never back down, never give up.

Bai Liu sighed: "You are truly the most unyielding person I have ever met."

"Ahem..." Fang Dian wiped the blood from his mouth, raised his head with a smile, "It's not like I won't admit defeat."

"I know I can't beat you, so I just don't want to lose."

"The people I love are standing behind me. Their souls and beliefs are supporting me. If I give up easily——"

Fang Dian's eyes were red, and he smiled as he swung his heavy sword: "——Then isn't the value of their sacrifice really as cheap as you, the evil god, said?"

At the end of the fight, Fang Dian stood in front of Bai Liu, covered in blood and wounds. Bai Liu looked up at her and said softly, "I killed Lu Yizhan."

"I know, I saw it." Fang Dian paused, she raised the heavy sword to her shoulder again and took a deep breath, "But I not only saw you kill him, I also saw the letter he left for me."

"The letter from Lu Yizhan told me that he had known this outcome for a long time, and he accepted it."

"So I believe you know this, too." Fang Dian turned around. The woman covered in blood was actually smiling brilliantly. She even winked at Bai Liu. "So I guess this is just a trick played by friends against the evil god, right?"

"I don't want to explore your little secrets."

Fang Dian swung her heavy sword again to kill the heretic. Her voice became heavy and powerful: "But when everything is over, you can't make such a fuss anymore!"

The door was getting closer and closer to Fang Dian. Bai Liu saw Fang Dian standing up shakily with a heavy sword in hand. Her shoulders and back were covered with wounds. At this moment, she seemed to have suddenly understood something and looked back at Bai Liu. She smiled, the wind blowing her long hair. She smiled and said to Bai Liu with her mouth:

【Don't be afraid to say goodbye to the one you love, Bai Liu.】

【We will meet again eventually. 】

【I believe you will bring us all back to this world. 】
