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..."
这一刻，【终焉皇帝】的脸上浮现出了明显的表情。
无可奈何的表情。
“或许吧。”
“【终焉者】……”
“对现在的我来说，多多少少是有些配不上【终焉者】这个过往称呼……”
正如之前说过的一样，【终焉皇帝】以前来自于另一个游戏场，也就是另一个世界。
而当时的祂，便被称之为【终焉者】，象征着那方世界的【毁灭】、【终末】……
然而。
当时的祂，在追求更高境界的时候已经死掉了。
自灭根基与自毁不死性以后。
在正面硬碰硬之中，死于其余强者之手。
现在的【终焉皇帝】与其说是那个【终焉者】，倒不如说只是【终焉者】的一部分亦或者连微不足道的一部分都算不上……
“在我的记忆中，我其实已经死掉了。”
“完完全全死掉的那种。”
“就连自身的本质都被另一个家伙所吞没，再无任何的遗留。”
“属于是彻头彻尾的失败者。”
“但是……在那之后，不知过了多久，等我清醒过来，我便发现自己正身处于某个实验室里面。”
“然后，都没等我反应过来发生了什么，我就听到有一群家伙高喊着【忠诚不绝对就是绝对不忠诚！】火速冲进实验室里面，直接把实验室的拥有者给当场处刑了……”
“再然后，也不知那群家伙想搞什么，我就被流放到了这里……”
“说实话。”
“虽然不明白那个实验室到底是什么情况，也不明白那些喊着口号冲进实验室把我流放的家伙是什么情况，但很多时候，我都觉得自己只能算是伪物，某种似是而非的东西，绝非是那个【终焉者】，要不然的话，我完全不应该这么弱小才对，纵使作为根基的【多元宇宙】已经彻底灭亡，纵使我只剩下微不足道的一缕念头而已，我也不该弱小至此……”
“并且，我还可以察觉到自身的记忆里面有着很多模糊不清的地方，这让我的意志有些浑浊……”
听到这些话。
名为奥尔蕯迦的存在。
微微的沉默片刻。
对方所说的这些东西。
他全都是一清二楚。
甚至于对方所提及的那个所谓实验室，正是他某个废物属下的设施。
整件事情简而言之便是——由于太崇拜奥尔蕯迦的原因，对方突然想要试一试能否将某些在久远过去之时，早已经死于与奥尔蕯迦有关的事件的家伙复活，从而得到奥尔蕯迦更多的资讯……
再然后就没有什么然后了。
由于【终焉者】当初死得太干净的原因。
对方只能是根据【终焉者】遗留于奥尔蕯迦某些属下脑海之中的印象来进行复活。
这也使得复活后的家伙相较于本来的【终焉者】，其实更应该说成是某某家伙印象中的【终焉者】。
性质类似于【真实的你】与【别人认知中的你】。
虽然看起来像是那么一回事。
但是实际差距大到无法想象。
当然。
不仅仅是做实验的家伙，就连后来闯入实验室，高呼着【忠诚不绝对就是绝对不忠诚！】把对方处刑掉的家伙们，同样也是奥尔蕯迦的属下，那是隶属于【堕落帝国】的【内部纠察人员】……
【你妈的！！】
【你居然胆敢私自复活死于陛下参与过的事件的死者，即使对方不是死于陛下之手，只是个打酱油的参与者而已，那也依旧是重大亵渎！！】
【我们这就过来杀了你！！！】
额……
事情差不多可以这么说。
作为被复活过来的家伙，【终焉皇帝】其实原本也是要被【内部纠察人员】处理掉的目标。
但奥尔蕯迦却选择把对方留下来，就当是给自己开辟新的游戏场……
所以。
对于【终焉皇帝】的事情。
奥尔蕯迦从来都是知晓的。
甚至远远比对方自己所知晓的情况都要来更多。
此时此刻。
望着表情略有苦恼的对方。
奥尔蕯迦只是带有恶趣味的笑着道：“那种事情，其实无所谓，最重要的是你还活着不是吗？”
“只要活着，就可以慢慢去追寻问题的答案。”
对此。
暂且不知晓对方就是幕后黑手的【终焉皇帝】，立即颇为认可的点头道：
“确实。”
“不管如何，时至今日都还活着，便已经算是种胜利。”
“远远比很多早就死掉的家伙来得更加幸运……”
“只不过，出于某种不甘心，我一直在试图恢复曾经的力量，那属于【深渊王子级】的力量。”
“为此，我已经创造了无数次世界亦将之毁灭了无数次。”
“本以为这一次也只是一次没有什么收获的轮回，没想到居然再一次碰到了你或者说西神怜……”
说到这里。
想起第一次看到西神怜时，由于感知到对方身上那种似是而非的熟悉感，所升起的想法，祂也是有点啼笑皆非。
当时。
祂还以为西神怜的情况与自己一模一样。
同样是个被复活的家伙。
并做出一系列的设想……
【奥尔蕯迦？】
【这家伙当初同样死掉了？】
【这是刚刚被复活？】
【以后是不是还有其余的家伙会被复活？？】
现在看来，纯粹是祂想多了……
事情纯属于不沾边。
不过，话虽如此，对于现状的情况，祂还是有点疑惑。
为啥西神怜或者说奥尔蕯迦进出这个地方就跟回家一样轻松？
祂觉得事情有点诡异。
……
不久后。
通过一番交流。
【终焉皇帝】总算是大概搞明白了事情。
怎么说呢……
事情着实是出乎意料……
情况只能这么说。
对于自己所经历的一切，完全是由于奥尔蕯迦这种情况，祂很难进行评价。
“【全知全能者】……”
“原来，那就是你和西神怜的本体吗……”
“所有的一切，皆是祂的游戏……”
世间存在着一个真正达到【全知全能】的存在，而这个世界由【终焉皇帝】创造的世界也好，过往那个被称之为【多元宇宙】的世界也罢，全都只是对方的无数个游戏场之一，所有的一切，皆是因为对方想要解闷才得以存在，而西神怜与奥尔蕯迦便是对方用来通关游戏场与体验游戏乐趣的马甲之一……
沉默良久以后，【终焉皇帝】向奥尔蕯迦问出了两个问题。
“既然对方真的是【全知全能者】，那么对方为何还需要解闷，不应该是只要祂愿意，那祂便随时都可以感受到所谓的乐趣吗？这种慢慢通关游戏的娱乐方式，终究没什么效率吧？”
对此。
奥尔蕯迦只是很无所谓的回答道：
“祂或者说我，确实是只要愿意就可以随时随地体验到所谓的乐趣，即使不玩所谓的游戏也一样。”
“这一切只是我随意选择的某种方式罢了。”
“至于效率……那是弱者所需要在意的事情。”
“对于你来说，世界的诞生需要很久很久，而其中所发生的事情，同样需要无穷岁月来演变，花时间塑造这么一个游戏场好像是吃力不讨好的事情……但对于我来说，那些时间其实和一瞬间并无区别，所以在我这里效率是无意义的事情。”
“【过去】、【现在】、【未来】，【只存在于现实中的事情】或【只存在于幻想中的事情】，【已经发生的事情】与【未曾发生的事情】，【有可能发生的事情】和【不可能发生的事情】……这所有一切，在我眼中其实都是一视同仁的事物，早在最初之时，我便通通了然于心。”
“比如：于你而言，我和你此时此刻的对话是正在发生的事情，但于我而言，这一切早在最初之时，我就已经完全知晓，不管是你现在的想法与想要说的话，还是说你未来将要经历的事情与所思所想，我都全数通晓。”
“总之，我之所以会在此时此刻登场，原因只有一个，那就是我愿意而已，通关游戏以后套着层马甲随便逛逛终归是不错的事情……”
默默听完这一切。
那在外人眼中至高无上的【终焉皇帝】，又一次的陷入了沉默。
并非是由于听不明白。
与之相反。
完全是因为祂可以轻易听明白奥尔蕯迦所说之话，祂才陷入了沉默。
祂无法理解那是何等程度的力量……
而奥尔蕯迦那边的话语还在继续着。
“当我离开以后，我的属下对于这个世界的管制便会消失，在这之后，如果你愿意，你完全可以出去逛逛，见一见其余的世界……”
他的脸上依旧带有些许的笑容：
“在我所看到的未来中，你还是有不小的概率顺利抵达【深渊王子级】的……”
说罢。
奥尔蕯迦当即迈动步伐向着血红色的光门走去。
就当他快要走入其中时。
【终焉皇帝】那边最后问出了一个问题：
“当初将我复活的家伙是什么实力？”
祂对于那个将自己复活，但又被【内部纠察人员】随手处决掉的家伙的实力，深深感到好奇。
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...
