Before you lies a vast corridor of stars, tens of thousands of light-years long, known as a magnificent creation of the cosmos, inhabited by countless billions of living beings, thriving and prosperous.
Trillions of species, trillions of civilizations, originally separated by an insurmountable distance in the vast expanse of space, have now been brought together by the immense power of the True Immortals, becoming neighbors.
"Who would have thought that just two hundred years ago, this was the most intense battlefield since the beginning of this universe? Countless True Immortals, at the fifth or sixth realm, perished here, their remains piled high every light-year."
You see cultivators and mages discussing the mysteries of cultivation together.
You see a human child playing with a baby dragon and a shapeshifting alien.
You see two species that should be billions of light-years apart forming a family and living together.
"It's so colorful and dreamlike, it's like a fairy tale."
"Anyone who witnessed this scene would never guess that the universe would be destroyed in just a few million years, right?"
[You also saw familiar races such as the Water Spirit.]
You also saw, in some people, vague shadows of certain people from the past.
But you know they aren't who they are.
That was merely a coincidence born from the accumulation of vast time and space; just similar flowers.
You watch silently.
[If you hadn't had those True Immortals move them here, their world might have been destroyed by the cosmic membrane traveling at dozens of times the speed of light decades ago.]
Yes, you've done so much, isn't it all so that they can all survive? Isn't it all to give all living beings in this universe a bright enough future?
You don't want certain things to happen again.
Suddenly, you remembered something from a very, very long time ago.
At that time, you hadn't even had the simulator for very long.
You have condensed a martial will called "Infinity".
[There's also the same effect as Overlord's Aura.]
It's all because you want everything, you want all that is beautiful, all that is perfect, you want all the regrets to vanish!
There will be no more death, no more separation.
This is a childish dream, the ultimate fantasy that only exists in children's stories.
But now, you've already managed to do at least one or two of those things!
[You've grown from someone who initially wanted to stop the war and the otherworldly demons to someone capable of saving all life in an entire universe!]
"Although I didn't have the power to save them then, I will save you now."
You stare at the long corridor of stars before you, and not just that, but also at other worlds, continents, planets, and those magnificent creations of the stars.
"You will all survive."
"It will survive until the end of the universe!"
"Because your Father will intervene."
You turned and left.
[...]
[Several hundred years ago, when you first revealed your identity as the "Cosmic Father God," two True Immortals immediately chose to emerge from the Radiant Dust Source Soup.]
One of them, whose origins are unknown, was killed by one of your apostles during his escape.
[The other one, however, you let go; you allowed him to leave the Source of Light and Dust.]
Because he is the lackey of the Lord of the Underworld.
[That "King of Darkness" with a Dao power of over sixty was a lackey raised and thoroughly brainwashed by the Lord of the Netherworld. After you added points to his Dao power, he immediately realized how valuable this method of increasing comprehension was, as it could perfectly compensate for the "Dao injury" his master suffered a billion years ago.]
[Of the two True Immortals who wanted to escape, you let the "King of Darkness" go, because he was brainwashed and absolutely loyal to the Lord of the Underworld. Letting him go would only attract the Lord of the Underworld and his many subordinate forces.]
However, the other possibility is uncertain. If he were to spread your news widely, then this impending end of the universe might attract a large number of powerful enemies, and those ancient gods who had retreated would return!
You're not afraid of them threatening you; you're afraid they'll disrupt your plans.
The King of Darkness did not disappoint you; he swiftly vanished from the universe, leaving no trace.
[And you can use this as an opportunity to unite all the remaining immortals through a battle.]
"Children, we have a traitor among us!"
"Some of you have betrayed me."
They fell silent, then began to suspect each other, even about to accuse one another, but you quickly stopped them.
"It wasn't you; the real traitor is already gone."
You sighed softly: "I know that in a few years, a powerful enemy from beyond the universe will attack. Their target is me, their father; they want to take away your father—me!"
After a brief mobilization, their morale visibly increased.
【"grass!"】
"These country bumpkins from other universes are trying to steal our dad!"
"They once ignored us when we were on the verge of destruction, but now they can't even dream of being near us!"
Four years later, the Lord of the Underworld arrived.
[While he was still traversing the cosmic membrane, 17 days away from you, you rushed towards him in the future, eroding more than 16% of his essence.]
"Yes, although it only covers the content of the seven days of returning to the true nature, the current strength of the Lord of the Netherworld is clearly inferior to that of the strongest apostle among his twelve subordinates."
"The twelve apostles traveling in both directions could cover the distance that the Lord of the Underworld would take 10 days to cover in 7 days. So the two sides traveled towards each other and covered the distance that the Lord of the Underworld would take 17 days to cover in 7 days."
Seven days later, while He was still traveling through the cosmic membrane, and was still 12 days away from you (because His strength had decreased, His travel speed was also decreasing, causing the total travel time to increase), He was slashed down again by you, leaving less than 20% of His essence.
[His original Dao power of 1.77 million has now dwindled to just over 300,000.]
Then the Lord of the Netherworld stopped its further exploration and turned to head towards the outer reaches of the universe.
[Just because we're getting closer to this universe, the misfortune that struck us a billion years ago is inexplicably recurring. Who can withstand this?!]
Besides, after being nerfed so many times, he probably no longer has the power to deal with you.
"Hmph, trying to escape?"
[This time you directly attacked in your true form, surrounded by twelve apostles protecting you, and hundreds of powerful true immortals following you, and you managed to break into the cosmic membrane.]
Although the Lord of the Netherworld's power has decreased, the number of his Dao principles remains unchanged, and his various methods are flashy and numerous.
Like a slippery eel, though its strength is far inferior to that of a human, it manages to escape from the grasp of the hand time and again.
