Sixty thousand years later.
The honeymoon had ended successfully 20,000 years ago.
After that, instead of staying in the outside world, Xi Shenlian and the others chose to return to their home and did not continue wandering around.
The heaviness of time did not cause any negative impact on Xi Shenlian, Qianshan Xuehui and others.
Even this insignificant time scale seemed as fast as a flash in their eyes.
However, in these short years, everyone still experienced everything they wanted to experience.
The time was short, but at least it was complete.
Therefore, Xi Shenlian and others were all very satisfied with all of this.
at the moment.
Lying on the big ** surface in the bedroom.
Sensing the time that is getting closer.
Xi Shenlian turned her body and said to Qianshan Xuehui and others with a smile:
"Are you trying to advance before me?"
The answer he got was very affirmative.
"certainly!"
"You were the first to reach several levels before me."
"Now it's time for us to get there first."
The speaker is Izayoi Keimyo.
There was a sense of eagerness in his words.
To this.
Xi Shenlian pretended to think seriously for a while, then said with a look of approval: "There is nothing wrong with what you said!"
Then he slowly stood up from the bed.
"Then let's start finishing!"
Finished speaking.
Xi Shenlian immediately sensed that the aura of Qianshan Xuehui and others had changed.
A change that was particularly noticeable to him.
Although the incident could be described as silent because their powers were all able to be perfectly concentrated, but at that moment, Xi Shenlian still noticed that Qianshan Xuehui and the others suddenly crossed some kind of invisible barrier.
The barrier of the world...
At that moment, their existence directly transcended the entire world and reached outside the world in an instant.
If they hadn't fixed their own existence.
From that moment on, their bodies would no longer remain in this world.
However, because they did it on purpose, in Xi Shenlian's eyes, they had never moved. Their figures had always been there without any changes.
In terms of external appearance, the most obvious change in them is their eyes.
After they break through the [Transcendence Stage Awakener] and become [Supreme Stage Awakener].
In an extremely brief moment that even Xi Shenlian could not capture, the eyes of Qianshan Xuehui and others underwent some strange changes.
It was a look that was a mixture of "understanding", "comprehension", "indifference"... It was as if from that moment on, everything in the world had become extremely clear in their hearts, without any trace of doubt.
“This game is a really good experience.”
After talking to himself for a while.
Qianshan Xuehui said to Xi Shenlian with a smile on her face:
"Then it's your turn, Lian..."
Hearing this, Xi Shenlian didn't say much, but his mind moved slightly and he released the power that he had been suppressing.
Then, in a flash, he became the so-called [Supreme Stage], and then he broke through the [Supreme Stage] level without stopping, easily surpassing the so-called level and reaching the end of power...
It's an indescribable feeling.
If I really want to describe it.
It should be said that it is a feeling that can be called sudden enlightenment.
“…”
"I see..."
No further words needed.
Just a moment.
He understood all the causes and consequences of the matter, and understood everything.
"Come on, let me take care of the last things first."
Although there is no need to communicate through language.
But he still said this to his wives with a smile.
Understand what he wants to do.
Moreover, Qianshan Xuehui and others, who knew the whole story, smiled slightly:
"good."
…
【Imperial Palace】
"Are you here..."
After pondering for a while, [Emperor End] said with a very complicated tone:
"However, the situation is different from what I thought..."
He first glanced at Qianshan Xuehui and others, and then turned his gaze to Xi Shenlian.
He could feel that although Xi Shenlian and others not far away seemed to still exist in the world, they had essentially transcended it. The existence that appeared in front of him at this moment was only staying in front of him temporarily.
"It's really a meeting again after so many years."
"Even according to my concept of time, this is an extremely long time..."
As if meeting an acquaintance whom he hadn't seen for a long time, [Emperor of the End] chose to speak first.
However, in His words, apart from the countless emotions, the most common one is the sense of vicissitudes.
That is the feeling of vicissitudes of life after a long period of time.
Even the time scale that could cause the universe to disappear cannot describe the loneliness within it.
And then.
There are also some surprises in it.
Some things are far more surprising than expected.
"What should I call you now?"
"Xi Shen Lian?"
"Or... Orsaga?" (ps: the protagonist of my previous book, "Demons of the Abyss of All Realms")
As the subject of inquiry.
Xi Shenlian replied calmly:
"Although we are one and the same, you should still call me Xi Shen Lian."
"After all, Xi Shenlian and Orsaga are two different identities."
"I am me, and I am not me..."
"You can think of us as different aspects of the same being."
“Is that so…”
Hearing this.
[Emperor End] was not surprised at anything.
He just nodded slowly.
Then he asked with a hint of expectation in his tone:
"So, back then, when the [Multiverse] was destroyed, the ultimate ideal that we all dreamed of should have been achieved, right?"
"After all, the fact that you are able to stand here intact has already proved something."
Xi Shenlian understood what he was talking about, and admitted it without hesitation:
"Well, it's done."
"The realm you all longed for was indeed successfully broken through by me at that time."
He stated it very clearly:
"That is a higher realm above the [Prince of the Abyss]."
Once upon a time.
In another game played by Xi Shenlian.
He, or rather his other identity, the one called Orsaga, had once crossed paths with the other party in that playground.
The so-called intersection, the most important goal is to explore higher levels and stronger powers, powers above the [Level - Prince of the Abyss].
For this reason, whether it was Orsaga, the other party, or even many other guys, they all spared no expense...
Even if they need to destroy the entire world, they can do it without hesitation...
In that process or that game.
Obviously.
Orsaga is the ultimate winner.
After all, this was destined to happen...
At that time, his strength had already reached the [Prince of the Abyss Level] and he should have been immortal and eternal, but he was one of the countless strong men who fell in the process.
Even the opponent died at the hands of other beings before he even had a fight with Orsaga.
All I can say is that every competitor at that time was extremely vicious or difficult to deal with, and each of them had a lot of ruthless and unique skills. Even though the [Emperor of the End] was considered to be extremely powerful, he was still beaten to death on the spot by someone...
“Is that so…”
"good......"
“Very good…”
"Although I was not the one standing at the top in the end, Orsaga finally achieved success."
"Our long-cherished wish is not absolutely impossible!"
"This has been successfully verified by him..."
"So, I, and the rest of the guys, all died for what they deserved!"
In the words of [Emperor of the End], Xi Shenlian heard satisfaction, incomparable satisfaction.
That is the ultimate satisfaction of a seeker who has risked everything to hear that the ideal he pursues is not unrealistic.
In the face of that emotion.
The so-called final victory or defeat is just a small matter.
In front of ideals, life and death are like dust...
After listening to His sigh.
Xi Shenlian chose to nod slowly with a smile on her face.
"That's true."
Then he turned and said:
"But after all, it's better for old acquaintances to get together."
"With this important identity, I'd better go back first..."
Qianshan Xuehui and others shook their heads helplessly.
"Didn't you already know all this?"
"You just want to join in the fun..."
"Let's change people as soon as possible..."
"?"
After that, in the puzzled gaze of the [Emperor of the End], a huge dark purple snake appeared in front of them. The snake just circled in the air, and a dark purple light gate appeared silently in front of them.
As they slowly walked in.
at the same time.
It's as if they are echoing each other.
A blood-red light gate appeared without warning on the other side of the deep purple light gate.
A completely new figure walked out of it.
One that makes [Emperor End] more familiar with many identities.
Different from Xi Shenlian, whose most prominent characteristics are arrogance and indifference.
The most important feature of this figure is the sense of danger and the smell of blood that follows him everywhere...
Just show up.
The entire [Imperial Palace] was filled with the sound of an endless sea of blood and numerous shrill wails.
"It's been a long time since we last met, [Ender]..."
A familiar greeting.
This time, the object of greeting is the [Emperor of the End].
"Perhaps I can call you by that name..."
At this moment, an obvious expression appeared on the face of [Emperor of the End].
A helpless expression.
"Perhaps."
"【The End】..."
"To me now, I am more or less unworthy of the title of [Ender]..."
As mentioned before, [Emperor of the End] used to come from another gaming field, which is another world.
At that time, He was called the [Ender], symbolizing the [destruction] and [end] of that world...
However.
At that time, He had already died while pursuing a higher realm.
After destroying one’s own foundation and one’s own immortality.
In a head-on confrontation, he died at the hands of other powerful men.
Rather than being the [End One], the current [Emperor of the End] is just a part of the [End One], or even not even a tiny part...
"As far as I can remember, I'm actually dead."
"The kind that is completely dead."
"Even his own essence was swallowed up by the other guy, and nothing is left."
"He is a complete loser."
"But... after that, I don't know how long it was, when I woke up, I found myself in a laboratory."
"Then, before I could react to what was happening, I heard a group of guys shouting, 'If you are not loyal, you are absolutely not loyal!' They rushed into the laboratory and executed the owner of the laboratory on the spot..."
"Then, I don't know what those guys were up to, I was exiled here..."
"to be honest."
“Although I don’t understand what happened in that laboratory, nor do I understand the situation of those guys who rushed into the laboratory and exiled me while shouting slogans, I often feel that I am just a fake, something that seems to be true but is not, and I am definitely not the [Ender]. Otherwise, I shouldn’t be so weak. Even if the [Multiverse] that is the foundation has been completely destroyed, even if I am only left with a tiny thought, I shouldn’t be so weak…”
"Also, I can sense that there are many unclear parts in my memory, which makes my will a little muddy..."
Hear these words.
An existence called Orsaga.
There was a moment of silence.
These things the other party said.
He knew it all clearly.
Even the so-called laboratory mentioned by the other party was actually the facility of one of his useless subordinates.
The whole thing was simply this: because they admired Orsaga so much, they suddenly wanted to try to revive some people who had died in an incident related to Orsaga in the long past, so as to get more information about Orsaga...
And then there was nothing else.
Because [The End] died too cleanly at the beginning.
The opponent can only be resurrected based on the impression left by the "Ender" in the minds of some of Orsaga's subordinates.
This also means that the resurrected guy is more like the "Terminator" in someone's impression than the original "Terminator".
The nature is similar to [the real you] and [the you as others know you].
Although it looks like that.
But the actual gap is so big that it is unimaginable.
certainly.
Not only the guys who did the experiment, but also the guys who later broke into the laboratory and executed the other party by shouting "If loyalty is not absolute, then it is absolutely disloyal!", were also subordinates of Orsaga, and they were "internal patrol personnel" belonging to the "Fallen Empire"...
[Fuck you! ! ]
[How dare you privately resurrect a person who died in an incident that Your Majesty participated in? Even if the person did not die at the hands of Your Majesty, but was just a participant, it is still a major blasphemy! ! ]
【We are coming to kill you right now!!!】
Forehead……
That's pretty much it.
As a resurrected guy, [Emperor of the End] was actually originally a target to be dealt with by [Internal Patrol Personnel].
But Orsaga chose to keep him, just as if it was opening up a new playground for himself...
so.
Regarding the matter of [Emperor End].
Orsaga has always known.
Even far more than the other party knows.
Right now.
Looking at the other person who has a slightly distressed expression.
Orsaga just smiled with a malicious look and said, "That kind of thing doesn't really matter. The most important thing is that you're still alive, right?"
"As long as you are alive, you can slowly pursue the answers to your questions."
To this.
The [Emperor of the End], who was unaware that the other party was the mastermind behind the incident, immediately nodded in approval and said:
"really."
"No matter what, being alive today is already a victory."
"Much luckier than many of the guys who died long ago..."
"However, out of some kind of unwillingness, I have been trying to recover my former strength, which belongs to the [Prince of the Abyss] level."
"For this reason, I have created the world countless times and destroyed it countless times."
"I thought this was just another reincarnation with no gain, but I didn't expect to meet you, or Xi Shen Lian, again..."
Speaking of this.
Thinking back to the first time he saw Xi Shenlian, he felt a bit amused and confused when he had such a vague sense of familiarity with her.
then.
He thought that Xi Shenlian's situation was exactly the same as his.
Also a guy who was resurrected.
And make a series of assumptions...
【Orsaga? 】
[This guy also died at the beginning? ]
[Has this just been resurrected? ]
[Will there be other guys who will be resurrected in the future? ? ]
Now it seems that he was just overthinking...
The matter is completely irrelevant.
However, having said that, He was still a little confused about the current situation.
Why is it so easy for Xishenlian or Orsaga to enter and exit this place as if it were going home?
He thought things were a little weird.
…
Not long after.
Through some communication.
[Emperor of the End] finally figured out what was going on.
How should I put it…
This is really unexpected...
That's all there is to it.
It was difficult for Him to evaluate everything He had experienced because of Orsaga's situation.
"【Omniscient and Omnipotent】..."
"So, that's you and Xi Shenlian's true form..."
"Everything is His game..."
There is a being in the world who truly achieves [omniscience and omnipotence]. Whether this world was created by the [Emperor of the End] or the world in the past called [Multiverse], it is just one of the countless playgrounds of the other party. Everything exists because the other party wants to relieve boredom, and Xi Shenlian and Orsaga are one of the vests used by the other party to pass the playground and experience the fun of the game...
After a long silence, the [Emperor of the End] asked Orsaga two questions.
"Since the other party is really the Omniscient and Omnipotent One, then why does he need to entertain himself? Shouldn't he be able to feel the so-called fun at any time as long as he wants? This way of entertainment of slowly completing the game is not very efficient after all, right?"
To this.
Orsaga simply replied indifferently:
"He, or I, can indeed experience the so-called fun anytime and anywhere as long as we want, even if we don't play the so-called games."
“It’s just a way I chose.”
"As for efficiency... that's something the weak need to worry about."
"For you, the birth of the world took a very long time, and the things that happened in it also took countless years to evolve. Spending time to shape such a playground seems to be a thankless task... But for me, that time is actually no different from a moment, so efficiency is meaningless to me."
"The past, the present, the future, things that only exist in reality or things that only exist in fantasy, things that have happened and things that have not happened, things that are likely to happen and things that are impossible to happen... All of these are actually the same in my eyes. I knew them all clearly from the very beginning."
"For example: For you, the conversation between you and me at this moment is what is happening, but for me, I already knew everything from the very beginning, whether it is your current thoughts and words, or what you will experience and think in the future, I know everything."
"Anyway, there is only one reason why I am here at this moment, and that is because I want to. After completing the game, it would be a good idea to put on a vest and wander around..."
Listen to it all in silence.
The [Emperor of the End], who was supreme in the eyes of outsiders, fell silent again.
It's not because I don't understand.
On the contrary.
It was only because He could easily understand what Orsaga said that He fell into silence.
He couldn't understand the extent of that power...
And Orsaga's words continued.
"When I leave, my subordinates' control over this world will disappear. After that, if you want, you can go out and see the rest of the world..."
There was still a slight smile on his face:
"In the future that I have seen, there is still a good chance that you will successfully reach the [Prince of the Abyss] level..."
After saying that.
Orsaga immediately took a step towards the blood-red light gate.
Just as he was about to walk in.
The [Emperor of the End] asked one last question:
"What was the strength of the guy who resurrected me?"
He was deeply curious about the strength of the guy who resurrected him but was easily executed by the "internal patrol".
Same moment.
The moment He asked the question, Orsaga's rather casual answer also reached His ears.
"It is much higher than the [Abyss Prince Class]."
"How many hundreds of levels?"
"Hundreds of millions?"
"That's about it..."
"After all, my subordinates back then grew up a lot in various game fields after I let them go and let them roam free."
"If you want to catch up with those guys, I can only say that you have a long way to go~"
After Orsaga left.
I don't know how much time passed.
After being completely freed from control, I felt the vast external space and time that was already vaguely visible to me.
In the heart of [Emperor of the End], besides being amazed, he couldn't help but feel happy...
"It's really vast..."
"There are so many unknowns waiting for me..."
He slowly stood up from his throne.
This moment.
The world He created roared with unparalleled force.
Infinite time and space are vibrating.
Infinite parallel worlds are boiling.
It was as if the world suddenly came alive.
In an instant, many eyes crossed the distance and came to this [Imperial Palace], looking at the tall figure who had not stood up for many years in doubt.
"I will leave."
"To pursue a wider world."
"From now on, you will have the opportunity to dominate yourselves..."
"Living and dead, accept me as the final gift from your Creator..."
After he finished speaking, the figure of [Emperor of the End] disappeared without any regrets.
On the outside of the world.
Whirlpools are appearing crazily.
In the process of creating something from nothing, one world after another was born from the vortex.
Those worlds were nothing but experimental subjects that the [Emperor of the End] personally created and destroyed in the past.
At this final moment, the [Emperor of the End], who had already decided to leave, perhaps out of pity or perhaps out of remembrance, directly dragged them out of destruction and liberated his control over all worlds and various power systems...
Why was it that before, only the awakened ones in the world could reach the [Transcendence Stage], and the rest of the power systems were completely useless no matter how hard they tried?
The reason is simple.
The power possessed by each awakener essentially comes from some fragments of the power of the [Emperor of the End].
That's why.
As people who enjoy the blessings of the Creator, they are naturally special beings and can enjoy privileges within the world.
The title of "the noble race with destiny" is not just a saying, but they really enjoy various privileges...
Now, as the [Emperor of the End] loosened his control over various power systems, all the awakened ones, regardless of their strength, vaguely felt some inexplicable movements.
The strongest guys among them all fell into silence as they looked at the [Emperor of the End] who had already disappeared, and then looked at the strong men of the old era who were constantly reviving from the ancient world that was being reborn one after another...
Although no one knows where the [Emperor of the End] has gone.
But they still understood one thing deeply.
The world is indeed bigger than you can imagine!
And then.
Their hearts were filled with ecstasy!!!
Uncontrollable joy!!!
The road ahead is long and arduous, I will keep searching! ! !
As true fanatics, they are not afraid of the difficult road ahead, but they are afraid that there is no such thing as a future at all.
Therefore, the performance of [Emperor of the End] is a great motivation for them!
It is absolutely no problem to say that it is extremely inspiring.
It made their hearts surge!!
However, what they didn't know was that at a certain moment before, the [Emperor of the End] actually thought about completely destroying the world and then packing up all the power in it and taking it away as valuables.
only.
After some hesitation, He did not do so.
That insignificant amount of power doesn't affect anything at all.
Therefore, He ultimately chose to give His creations some opportunities.
In other words, for this world, [Emperor of the End] has always been one of the biggest hidden dangers...
at the moment.
Looking at the chaotic world, many people with lofty ideals, such as Charrad Coles, although they did not know that the world had quietly passed through a world-destroying crisis, still felt a great sense of responsibility in their hearts and wanted to suppress this chaotic world!
However, no matter what you think, how things will turn out in the end depends on your ability.
In this era without the [Emperor of the End] to suppress everything, no one can tell where the world will go...
