The Holy Realm.
Jiang Yan's figure quietly appeared above the Pool of Chaos.
Are you alright?
Li Miaolin noticed immediately and turned to look at her with concern.
"It's nothing. I'll settle some scores with an old friend and take care of that guy who claims to be the creator god while I'm at it."
Jiang Yan smiled slightly and gently patted the other person's hand to reassure them.
"The creator god?"
The worry in Li Miaolin's eyes subsided slightly, and a beautiful smile curved her lips: "Then wouldn't you become a world-destroying demon king?"
"How could that be? I am... uh, it seems that's true."
Jiang Yan was about to refute when he suddenly remembered that the Abyss Army was currently destroying all the worlds under his orders, and he couldn't help but laugh and shake his head.
"Holy Lord/Emperor".
At that moment, a flash of light appeared, and Anna, Losia, Death, and the other nine supreme beings sensed Jiang Yan's aura and teleported over simultaneously, bowing respectfully.
"Is everything resolved?"
Jiang Yan turned his head and smiled.
"Yes, I killed them a total of thirty-seven times."
Anna lowered her head somewhat shyly.
"Holy Lord, it's mainly because they killed them too quickly. I didn't even get a chance to intervene before the battle was over, so I had Anna revive them a few more times."
Ifina chimed in from the side.
"It's alright. It was originally meant for you to vent your anger. If that's not enough, you can kill a few more rounds."
"Ah... that's enough, Holy Lord. The main problem is that they stopped resisting after they were resurrected, so it's no fun anymore."
"That's good, um..."
Jiang Yan looked at the two of them, and a strange feeling stirred in his heart.
He suddenly remembered that Anna had said "Holy Light creates all things" during the novice trial, and later, in the novice continent, she had also said many times that the Holy Lord represented the Holy Light.
When I first met Ifina on the twentieth floor of the Tower of Inheritance, she said, "The Holy Light has chosen you."
Clearly, at that time, the Holy Light held a status equivalent to that of the Holy Lord, or even slightly higher.
Only later, after the power of the annals of time was broken, did their reverence become distinct from the Holy Light and Himself.
Looking back now...
After Lovis usurped the divine position, she even placed the Holy Light above the Holy Lord.
This is unreasonable for someone who has gone through so much to get to this point.
Given her personality, she should attribute all the glory to herself rather than emphasizing the existence of the Holy Light.
unless...
Someone was instructing her to do this.
That's right, that makes sense.
Jiang Yan suddenly understood.
No wonder the Holy Light has always been the most powerful law since the beginning of the era; it turns out it is the embodiment of an unparalleled being, with an invisible giant hand subtly influencing everything.
"If I had paid attention to these details earlier, I might have been able to discover the person hiding behind it all sooner. However, fortunately, the power of the abyss was strong enough, and the result was still the same."
Jiang Yan shook his head slightly and looked at everyone.
The angel legion, the paladin legion, and the people of Holy Spirit City also approached one by one. Their faces were filled with the joy of victory.
He pondered for a moment, then waved his hand, teleporting all the Abyss Supremes out of the Holy Realm, and went straight to the point:
"I have discovered a new world."
Um?
Everyone's expression shifted, and a hint of excitement shone in their eyes.
The space outside the Holy Realm is now covered by the Abyss. Although the Holy Realm is protected by Jiang Yan's will and can hold on for a while, it is foreseeable that it will eventually be swallowed by the Abyss as well.
Because his current power originates from the abyss.
Jiang Yan took in everyone's expressions and shook his head, saying, "But it was originally supposed to be constructed with holy light and some unknown power. Now, I forcibly used the power of the abyss to steal back control of that world. I don't know if it can ultimately become the mythical world I envisioned."
"So, I'm giving you a choice now."
Jiang Yan infused his power into his voice, ensuring that everyone could hear it.
"I will bring the abyss into that world as well, and after the abyss of this world disappears, it won't be long before another era is born."
"If you choose to stay, you will be able to live peacefully and stably for at least a long time."
"But if you come with me to the new world, even if everything goes as I expect, we will have to do everything we can to neutralize the power of the abyss for a very long time. And once we enter, there will theoretically be no chance of returning."
"I believe you have already experienced how unpleasant it is to be surrounded by negative forces. Now, make your choice."
After speaking, Jiang Yan quietly looked at everyone.
Li Miaolin didn't say much, but simply tightened her grip on Jiang Yan's hand and smiled gently, the meaning of which was self-evident.
"Wherever you are, we will be there."
Anna, Loshia, and the angels and paladins all responded without hesitation, as if they had planned it in advance, their actions perfectly synchronized.
"I sleep more soundly with the Emperor," Death said leisurely, cradling his scythe.
“Our Netherworld has always been the strongest force under the Emperor’s command. We will not allow the mere Abyss to take away this honor.”
Satan and Iberia grinned at the same time.
"I don't need to say anything more. I might not be able to beat them all, even if you multiply their building skills by ten, they still wouldn't be my match."
Anubis said with great pride, "I have already planned to build an unparalleled palace for the Emperor and Empress in the New World."
Yaberic then transformed into a giant dragon, silently crawled to Jiang Yan's feet, and then loudly proclaimed:
"I am my master's only mount, and no one can take this honor from me!"
"My lord, we also wish to follow you."
Below, a dwarf leader stepped forward and shouted, "Only under your command do we feel dignity and honor. As long as you don't mind, we are willing to follow you forever!"
"We are too."
"And us..."
The rest of the Holy Spirit City personnel also expressed their opinions one by one.
Without exception, no one chose to stay.
"You guys..."
Jiang Yan shook his head helplessly, but a relieved smile appeared on his lips.
He waved his hand and took out the "Book of Genesis" from before.
Its spirit has now been erased, and it is now merely a key to enter the mythical realm.
A passage filled with unknown higher-dimensional power opened up in the void.
"In that case, I'll give you one month to return to Holy Spirit City and bring everything you can. We'll gather here one month later and head to the New World together."
"I will obey the imperial decree."
The group bowed in unison, then excitedly discussed their conversation as they flew rapidly toward Holy Spirit City.
"Hey guys, remember to secretly transplant the Dreamweed over there. With this, we can work overtime to our hearts' content and utterly crush them!"
"Lise, don't forget to bring the bionic dragon scales invented by the researchers, especially the black and white sets."
"Jaberic, are you trying to kill me?! If you shout that loud again, I'll skin you alive!"
“...”
The lively sounds gradually faded away, and soon only two people remained in the void.
Jiang Yan reached out and gathered the scattered divine essences from the Holy Realm, then divided them into countless parts and threw them into the shattered myriad worlds.
These powers will, after the new era arrives, resurrect those believers and heroes who died in Lovis's persecution and bless them with good fortune.
This is the reward they deserve.
After doing all this, Jiang Yan quietly watched the departing figures of the group and sighed softly.
“Miaolin, do you think I made a mistake? I could have left the Abyss behind, but I insisted on taking it to the New World because of my so-called sense of responsibility, causing my companions who followed me to suffer as well.”
"Of course not."
Li Miaolin gently hugged Jiang Yan and said happily, "I remember before the assessment of all realms, you told me that if you failed the assessment, you might choose to become a scholar and invent some useful things to assist the soldiers on the front line."
"If you pass the test and become a god, you want to become the commander of the Federation, standing on the front line and protecting the land behind you."
“You have always been a responsible person since we met.”
Li Miaolin raised her head, her eyes shining brightly: "At least... I like you this way. Anna, Death, and Yaberic, the companions of Holy Spirit City, all trust you because of this. Whatever your decision, whether the outcome is good or bad, we will support you."
“I understand. Thank you, Miaolin.”
Jiang Yan was slightly taken aback, then a smile appeared on his face, and he lowered his head to give her a gentle kiss.
He suddenly remembered what the Third Emperor had once said: "What truly caused these myths to disappear was their own choices."
Looking back now, perhaps those powerful beings who became myths were not all like the guy in the Book of Creation, acting solely for their own benefit.
Perhaps their choice to become myths and disappear from the real world was also to seal away or resolve some kind of calamity.
His good intentions also bore the torment of thousands of epochs, striving to suppress and redeem the abyss, which allowed the various realms to reincarnate for thousands more epochs.
"As expected, you were right. Sure enough, I made the same decision in the end."
Jiang Yan smiled with relief, feeling much more at ease.
At least in the mythical realm, there is an infinite amount of time to try, and one day all the negative wills that have fallen into the abyss will be redeemed.
"Miaolin".
Jiang Yan stood up, took the woman in his arms, and walked step by step to the passage leading to the unknown dimension.
"What's the matter?"
The woman turned her head to the side, her eyes curving into crescents, and smiled charmingly.
"This time, I won't let you cry anymore."
"I promise."
...
(The End)
————
I'm finally done writing!
This is my first time writing a million words, so I'll just write a couple of thoughts. If you're not interested, feel free to scroll away!
First of all, I need to apologize.
The ending was a bit rushed. Actually, I originally planned to write one or two more volumes to introduce the mythological system in detail. The original idea was to link it with the prehistoric era to deal with other mythologies.
However, on the one hand, he felt it would be controversial and lead to comparisons and criticisms, and on the other hand, the author had many health problems and simply couldn't hold on any longer.
This setup appears somewhat abruptly, and you might find it a bit confusing in the next few chapters... For now, just consider it a system similar to the path to becoming a Great Luo Immortal.
I might add more details in a later side story, if you're interested~
Secondly, I am truly grateful to every reader.
This is the author's second book. In fact, the writing, plot, creativity, and pacing are all very immature. I myself did not expect it to achieve such results.
Thank you so much everyone!
Finally, I haven't decided what to write for my next book yet.
However, I plan to at least accumulate 200,000 words before publishing, so as to avoid the situation in the later stages of this book where even daily updates were unstable.
In short, I love you all!
See you in the next book!
