"What choices do you think I should have?"
Even with this change, the sky remained calm.
"Didn't you have any other questions before asking the question?"
The rotting demon attracted even more flies and insects.
It emits a putrid stench.
The other person's voice, like his own, was a steady male voice.
“For example,” Cang Qiong said.
"For example, who am I?"
Cang Qiong: "I already asked that, so who are you?"
The other party gave an irrelevant answer, completely disregarding the logic of the previous question and answer, and continued, "Do you know what will happen to you if you continue like this?"
Cang Qiong sighed: "Listen to what people are saying."
"You will plunge the entire Fifth Age into despair."
"But in the end, you couldn't even atone for your sins."
Cang Qiong: "I have never thought about atoning for my actions."
"In the illusionary world, things rarely go as planned."
"If we had to atone for every mistake we made, then there would be no point in moving forward."
The decaying thing made a sound: "Heh heh..."
"What a resolute heart."
"Alright, let me tell you about the choices you have..."
"That is, to continue living in this era."
"There's no need to concern ourselves with anything from the Fifth Era anymore."
Cang Qiong did not refuse immediately, but said, "No matter which era, it will eventually return to zero, so what difference does it make?"
But the decay spoke up: "No."
"This place will not go to zero."
"because……"
Cang Qiong sensed that time and space had shifted again, and this place was no longer the Fifth Era.
Rather, it is the First Era.
"This is already the world after it has been reset."
Upon hearing this answer, Cang Qiong paused in surprise.
The decaying scene before my eyes gradually changed, transforming into a hollow, upright figure.
At the same time, Cang Qiong also sensed that the Demon King had reappeared in his sea of consciousness.
You should know my identity.
The one conversing with the heavens at this moment is no longer [this demon].
Rather, it is the being that the white deer refers to as the "open one".
Its jet-black form swayed.
"At the beginning of the First Era, I was the Demon of the Endgame."
"The end of everything for this demon."
"The end of all things."
"At the time of the Second Era, I am the mystery of the End."
"The end of all time."
"The ending of everything."
"During the Third Era, I was at the bottom of the Abyss."
"The end of all labyrinths."
"The end of the nest of all creatures."
"In the Fourth Era, I am Final Fantasy."
"The end of all illusions."
"The collapse of illusory evolution."
Its body grew larger and larger until it filled the entire space, but there was still a void in the very center of its body.
Countless chains appeared out of nowhere and were swallowed up by the void at the very center.
Looking into its interior, one sees an unfathomable void.
"Do you know my greatness, that I am called the Sky?"
The sky appears empty and level.
"You are transcendent."
The voice replied, "I have transcended."
Cang Qiong's lips moved slightly.
Feelings can be a thousand different things.
The sky was far from indifferent at this moment.
This was also the first time Cangqiong had come into contact with transcendence. Myne was the Inner God, Naraku was the True God, and Zhuya was also a True God...
Transcendence is the only state that can transcend returning to zero.
"So, why did you come to me?"
"It's not me looking for you."
"But you are seeking my liberation."
The shadowy figure spoke in a flat and indifferent voice.
"You and we are not in a situation of life and death."
Cangqiong: "You mean you're from the Zero Sequence side?"
The shadowy figure said, "You really want to know the answer."
Cang Qiong: "If I knew the enemy had such a strong boss, I would have found it very troublesome."
The zeroing sequence includes transcendence, which is a previously assumed situation.
But in fact, throughout these lifetimes of reincarnation, I have never seen anyone transcend the battle.
To be precise.
Even the god of the underworld has never seen him directly.
Now it seems... the waters were really deep.
"The birth of Zero Sequence has nothing to do with me."
"But I also have some agreements with them."
Cang Qiong: "What agreement?"
"It's none of your business."
Azure Sky: "So..."
Whoosh!
Cang Qiong wanted to say something more, but the scene before him had already changed.
What's right in front of us.
There are four life forms with different forms.
But every life evokes an overwhelming fear in one's heart.
It was just an empty phantom, and this empty phantom was the [Endgame Demon], [The Mystery of the End], [The Bottom of the Abyss], [Final Fantasy] that I had just seen.
The other is a swaying clock tower.
And there is also a beating heart.
There is also "one" that floats in the void, like a dreamlike bubble.
Standing before these four phantom figures was only himself.
Behind me was nothingness.
Nothing exists anymore.
There are no other dimensions, no people, no life, and in other words, no other matter; there is only oneself.
Even Kumironi, who should have existed forever after being reset to zero, was nowhere to be seen.
Are you saying this is my end?
"The sky spoke," Cang Qiong said.
"The fate of a life depends on the choices it makes."
"It still has room for delay before the end arrives."
"But with my power, I can bring a life to the end I have decided."
Swish—
The scene before the sky changed once again.
This time, what we see is Ahkator and Lu Cang holding hands.
The God of Time pried open the reincarnation body, creating a bright portal. Bai Lu, Leng Qingying, Brave Warrior, Zuya, Xiu Mi, Laceybeya, Xin Qianhuan, Yakatikto, Neherkato, and Mi... They glanced back at themselves and then walked towards the portal one after another.
Towards reincarnation...
In the illusory world, it seems that only Cang Qiong is left all alone.
The illusory ruins, now reduced to zero, float in the sky.
The true god from the Zero Order descended with oppressive power, coldly gazing down upon the lonely heavens.
Now, only Cang Qiong stands alone against the world's return to zero.
A pang of heartache pierced the very marrow of my brain.
This is the fate he will face.
"Or is this the ending you want?" The phantom's voice rang in Cang Qiong's ears.
"If you like, I can also determine the ending for you."
But before the heavens could answer.
The scene before the sky changed once again.
This time, all that remained was desolation, and before him stood the enraged Izparut.
anger?
It's quite novel to see anger on this guy's face.
But the divine will of the heavens swept away it.
But what I saw was...
"Azure Sky, do you know what you've done?!" Izparut stepped out of the void, unleashing a world-shaking thunderbolt as he uttered a chilling question.
oh.
Lu Cang is dead.
He obtained the Reincarnation Body, killed the Demon, and obtained the Illusory Heart Self Body, which is not the Body of Empty History.
All three of the Illusionary Trilogy have been collected.
Then Izparut in front of us shouldn't be a threat.
Not to mention, those around me...
There are also the King of Izparut, the King of Kenu, the King of Luluvie, the King of Mani, the King of Shana...
These are the strongest beings among the true gods from countless timelines, originating from other timelines.
There was only one Izparut in front of him.
There's really nothing to be afraid of.
But why is my heart in so much pain?
Is it because I added the zeroing sequence?
"Oh, it seems you've seen a happy ending."
"You finally won."
"That's truly something to celebrate."
The voice of "The End" echoed in the sky's ears.
"Is this the ending you want?"
"This is one of the few good endings you've had."
...
Even as the "Endgame" speaker spoke, time did not stop flowing.
Even if one person faces such a terrifying lineup.
Izparut strode forward again: "Sky, if I were you, I would feel guilty for living in this world."
"Thirteen-star magic..."
As it raised its hand, King Izparut beside Azure Sky also reached out its hand.
"Thirteen-Star Magic—"
Whoosh!
But before the two could make a move, the scene was abruptly cut off.
In that instant, one could almost hear a muffled groan and a soft click from [Endgame].
"Aren't you going to wait for me to make a choice?" Cang Qiong asked in a calm tone.
[Final Game] No answer.
"It seems that this is not my final fate."
[The End] Only then did she speak, replying in a calm and collected tone: "For you, that is the final ending."
The scene before Cang Qiong changed once again.
This time.
There were no ruined battlefields, no war.
On the city's large screens, promotional videos for Xiu Mi's concert were being displayed.
Zuya's album was playing in a restaurant on the street.
He led the white deer down the street.
Carrying large and small bags.
Leng Qingying was trying on clothes she liked at a nearby clothing store.
The brave and fearless lined up at the milk tea shop next door.
Everything was so peaceful.
This place.
The sky was familiar; this was the capital of the Tenglong Kingdom of the String Star, and this was Rentai Street, a very prosperous commercial district.
“I said.”
The heavens spoke.
"Hmm, what's wrong, brother?"
The white deer, holding the sky's reins, turned to look at its brother and asked, somewhat puzzled.
"You're showing me these things because you foresee your own end, aren't you?"
"Brother, what are you saying?"
The white deer tilted its head.
Cang Qiong completely ignored the white deer beside him and continued, "A self-proclaimed transcendent being who claims to be the end game."
"Why go to such lengths to deal with me?"
"He probably foresaw that he wouldn't have a good ending."
"And this outcome is most likely related to me."
Bai Lu shook her brother's hand nervously.
"Brother? What's wrong?"
"Didn't we already decide to stay here?"
Who are you talking to?
Cangqiong: "So, you want me to stay here."
Bai Lu bit her lip, as if she was about to cry: "Brother."
"Don't do this."
"Are you going to leave us again? Don't go..."
Cang Qiong: "Because I'm gone, you'll be able to find your own happy ending."
Cang Qiong withdrew his hand from Bai Lu's.
"Don't try to tempt me with these things anymore."
"My resolve is not as fragile as you think."
"I will definitely return to the Fifth Era, and I will definitely fight against Zero to the very end."
Bang!
A cracking sound rang out.
The surrounding scenery was shattered, like glass.
【The End】 reappeared before the heavens.
The final voice was cold: "Your awareness is high, but you only considered your own determination."
"But have you ever thought that those who follow you will also be heading towards the most tragic end with you?"
