"Come with me!"
Shen Zhao grabbed Su Yunying's hand.
Looking at the man who only had eyes for her, Su Yunying shed tears of happiness.
But she slowly loosened her grip on her hands.
"Shen Lang, I can't go with you. If we really meet in another world, remember not to abandon me."
“Yun Ying…”
The immense suction force pulled him beyond Shen Zhao's control, dragging him toward a black hole behind him.
The hand that was tightly gripping Su Yunying's eventually began to loosen little by little.
"Want to leave? Not so easy!"
Just as Shen Zhao was about to escape, Xue Yan leaped at him.
"Go! Shen Lang, go! Remember, you must change this dark spacetime!"
Su Yunying roared and, just before Blood Nightmare got close, she flung away Shen Zhao's fingers and lunged at Blood Nightmare.
"No~ Yunying~"
The scene before my eyes rapidly receded and moved backward at an incredibly fast speed.
Looking in the direction where Shen Zhao disappeared, Su Yunying couldn't help but shout, "Shen Lang, I love you. If we could really meet again..."
I will definitely return this pendant to you. Don't forget me, and don't forget what you promised me.
But soon, she covered her mouth and clutched the pendant tightly to stop herself from crying out loud.
"I'm so scared, I'm really so scared, I really, really want you to take me away."
"But in order to change this hopeless future, I cannot leave."
"My responsibilities in this world are not yet fulfilled, Shen Lang. If there is an afterlife, please be sure to find me."
The next moment, Su Yunying turned around abruptly, grasped the broken lone goose in her hand, and faced the Blood Nightmare head-on.
Countless monsters surged like a tide, rapidly covering and surrounding Su Yunying's frail body.
The next scene was completely replaced by darkness, and Shen Zhao slowly lost consciousness...
After an unknown amount of time, Shen Zhao slowly opened his eyes.
Everything was pitch black before my eyes, and my body remained in the chaos and nothingness.
However, twinkling stars suddenly appeared all around.
He instinctively touched his chest; the pendant was still there.
The tokens given by Song Yanran and Mu Qiuyao are still there.
The previous experience felt like a dream.
But he knew that none of this was a dream, but a real reality.
My body drifts with the current, continuing to wander in this chaotic river of time and space.
After the excruciating heartache came an unprecedented calm.
If the root of evil is not addressed, the tragedy of another time and space will surely be repeated.
It's time to put an end to all of this.
"Follow your heart's desires; thoughts arise from the mind."
"There are three thousand great paths, but they all lead to the same destination."
"Everything must come to an end eventually."
Shen Zhao closed his eyes again and sat cross-legged in the void.
"As heaven maintains vigor through movement, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement."
In an instant, the sound of the Great Dao Bell echoed through the void.
Behind him, the three thousand Dao essences condensed, forming the ever-renewing Yin-Yang totem.
"The Tao is always inactive, yet nothing is left undone; all things will transform themselves."
"If things begin to change and desire to act, I will suppress them with the simplicity of the nameless."
"The nameless and unadorned are not what one desires."
"If you do not seek tranquility, the world will naturally be at peace."
In an instant, the hymn of the Great Dao resounded throughout the void and chaos, sweeping away all darkness.
Upon landing, the instant I opened my eyes, a blood moon hung in the sky, and the world remained in eternal night.
What lay before Shen Zhao was the foot of the Nine Heavens Peak.
"The origin of everything lies here, so let everything end here as well."
Stepping onto the platform, Shen Zhao showed no more hesitation. He casually flipped open the leather-bound diary Su Yunying had given him and continued reading.
"After the death of the four emperors, no one in the world could restrain the rise of the Blood Nightmare. From then on, the human world entered an eternal night, and people were constantly transformed into monsters who lost their ability to recognize themselves in the torment."
"The characteristics of the mutated monsters initially manifest as cognitive impairment and memory loss, but as time goes on, their cognition gradually deteriorates."
They had completely degenerated into monsters devoid of individual thought, possessing only a thirst for blood and raw flesh.
The memories sealed in his mind by the system were completely unlocked, and the truth behind everything became clear.
Before his first rebirth, Shen Zhao, who was killed by Yu Xiyan, harbored resentment to the extreme.
Fortunately, he retained a sliver of conscience, which allowed him to completely strip away the evil thought that wanted to destroy humanity from his body before entering reincarnation, and throw it into the void and chaos with the help of the power of the Great Dao's origin.
That malevolent thought transformed into a blood nightmare, constantly traversing and reincarnating in multiple parallel universes, repeating the experiences of Shen Zhao's first life, thus creating the origin of all evil.
Evil Infestation was born from the origin of Blood Nightmare's enlightenment. Due to the overlap of parallel universes, all universes were invaded by Evil Infestation.
The resentment in Yu Xiyan's body also arose from the Blood Nightmare, which similarly affected the changes in the spacetime of her body.
But is that really the truth?
Why was Yu Xiyan in that timeline unable to give birth despite being heavily pregnant?
Shen Zhao closed his eyes and walked.
Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and abruptly opened his eyes.
At that moment, he suddenly understood.
"So that's the truth. We were all wrong, completely wrong!"
"System, you have misunderstood the Dao, and your plans have completely failed. There is no going back."
With a soft laugh, Shen Zhao continued walking towards the mountain peak.
...
At the summit of the Nine Heavens, Blood Nightmare still sat alone on the Blood Lotus King's Throne, staring blankly at the rows of tombs before him.
The moment Shen Zhao appeared, he sneered, "Tens of thousands of years have passed, and you've finally returned. Do you know how long I've waited for you?"
Shen Zhao glanced at the densely packed graves, all belonging to his close friends, confidants, and lovers, and clenched his fists involuntarily.
