Chapter 939 The End of the World (22)

There's no time to mourn the behemoths; next up is the mascot of the Giant Goose Group, the savior of defensive towers, and the bane of squishy heroes.

"With me, the God King, here, you and Brother Huai Shi can rest assured," Ge Xiaolun said, patting his chest.

Ai Qing: "."

The scene fell into silence for a while.

It wasn't until Emperor Penguin Twin Moon tugged at the blue cape behind him and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Ma from the Giant Goose Group is asking if you're free after Witch's Night, and if you'd like to visit the Antarctic headquarters in the present realm."

“…” Ge Xiaolun tossed his hair: “Let’s buff Garen first.”

Dude, put aside the buffs and nerfs, you look like you've been completely reworked!

"Let me go into the furnace next. I heard there's a golden throne in there?" Ge Xiaolun asked. "It's mine now."

Yes

The golden throne is perfect for a big, muscular man.

Huai Shi stared blankly at the enormous, fully armed golden penguin: "Where have you been all this time?"

"I've stacked Heartsteel and Undying Grip in the spring waters of Bikini Bottom." Ge Xiaolun flashed his armor. "I also saved up to buy a Berserker's Greaves, and I'll go into the furnace later to get a Sunfire Cape."

I don't understand the game Silent Crown and the game.

Song Shuhang said into the loudspeaker, "We used the strongest individual unit creation plan from Bikini Bottom Technology, combined with Ge Xiaolun's own characteristics and strength, to maximize the development of the Galactic Force during Witch's Night, and applied his own Void Engine to the Divine Body."

The power of the Void Engine lies in its ability to directly modify the laws of matter. With the amplification and development of Xilingxin Element Technology, Ge Xiaolun's penguin body has become a genuine God King.

Seeing that Huai Shi was still a little confused, Ge Xiaolun asked, "What is my passive ability?"

“It seems to be a blood replenishment.” As Huai Shi said this, his eyes widened.

Extreme tank build plus percentage-based health regeneration herbs—is he the venerable adoptive father of tanks?!

In this way, an ultimate creature that surpasses all behemoths and possesses a void health bar was created. Even though sitting on the golden throne and linking the fire would cause him to continuously lose health, the amount of health lost was less than what Ge Xiaolun himself recovered!

This plan

"That's not fair to you at all, Brother Xiao Lun," Huai Shi said, frowning. "You're going to be burned as kindling on the golden throne in the furnace forever."

"It will be very painful."

In this abyss, no one knows where the road ahead lies, or how long the Witch's Night will last.

Others would sit on the throne until they burned out and then leave, but Ge Xiaolun was different. He would sit on the golden throne and continue to feel the burning of his soul and body.

Even if the sense of time is blurred during the Witch's Night, the torment brought by this pain is something that probably no ascendant would dare to try without authorization.

Upon waking, the soul will utterly collapse from the accumulated pain.

“I know.” Ge Xiaolun nodded: “But back in Vanaheim, those primitive people and their descendants also called me God-King along with the people of Bikini Bottom.”

"Vanaheim may be gone, but I, the King of Gods, still remain."

"A god-king should act like a god-king, like this."

He nonchalantly flapped his wings, then performed a handstand for Huai Shi and the others, jokingly saying, "Hey, look, I'm lifting the whole world up!"

The game lines sound familiar.

But this time, Ge Xiaolun truly lifted the world up.

He waved to the crowd and walked straight into the furnace to take over from the soon-to-disappear Bluebird.

"It's up to you now." The bluebird's silhouette flickered. "It will hurt a little, but you'll get used to it eventually. It'll just be quite boring here."

She smiled, seemingly encouraging her new colleague.

"I'm a professional at handling pressure." Ge Xiaolun took a deep breath, turned around, and shouted outside, "Demacia—!"

It's a shame those two gay guys in my dorm have been dead drunk for days and haven't woken up yet, otherwise I would definitely have dragged them down with me.

Ge Xiaolun accepted the torch with a hint of regret. He sat on the golden throne, planted the greatsword in front of him, and struck a pose with his hands on it.

The furnace core is shut off.

“Ge Xiaolun contacted us after learning about the Fire Linking Plan,” Squirrel Hang said in a low voice. “He said he has a lot of health, and if we could level up to the maximum and add an Infinite Firepower mode, he might be able to help.”

“After I got back, I condemned Aha and Zuowangdao on the forum every day.” Huai Shi stared at the direction of the furnace core for a while.

My brother Lun could never be a pervert.

And so, as time flew by, the remaining giant beasts devoted themselves to construction, no longer having any concerns about development.

However, population will inevitably decline once civilization reaches a certain level.

About five hundred years later, the population of the entire civilization decreased by one-fifth, but it was replaced by some intelligent mechanical life forms that participated in the construction.

After being artificially transformed from the Fenrirmon into MetalGarurumon, Huai Shi looked at the several metal cannons hanging on his body, and randomly found a hellish place with his third eye on his head to test his firepower.

Thump...thump-thump-thump-thump-thump.

The rhythmic barrage of artillery fire rang out. This Abyssal Psionic Cannon, modified from a Void Psionic Cannon, didn't have to worry about consumption and instead became a toy for Huai Shi to pass the time.

And then.

Time really did slip away.

Or rather, time has vanished.

Inside the endless abyss, something unknown happened. While Huai Shi was firing cannons, a heart-stopping wave suddenly struck, followed by disordered and chaotic sensations, and a complete stillness in space and time.

仿若

forever?!

The term "time" generally refers to the length of an event and the order in which it occurs. But now, even the civilized world under the protection of his living hell has fallen into an eternal state of stillness.

That's impossible! Even the calamity that Kaguya corresponds to shouldn't have this level of power!

Huai Shi stared in a certain direction of the endless abyss and felt a terrifying, forceful suction force. Although he was standing still, he seemed to be entering an extremely fast speed.

wrong!

He looked back at his dog's body and realized that it seemed as if his soul was leaving his body!

At this moment, the circular principle behind the giant wolf's head lit up for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, Huai Shi returned to his body. After a few breaths, the terrifying attraction disappeared, and then there was a faint sense of pull.

It seemed to be calling him to the deepest, most obscure part of the endless abyss.

"..." Huai Shi glanced at the abyss with lingering fear, then looked at the Law of Cycles, and whispered, "Thank you, Xiao Yuan."

But if the entire civilization has come to a standstill, where can we find the restart button?

Huai Shi had a headache when he suddenly saw a wisp of emerald green light emanating from the Hall of Heroes, which had been transformed into a holy site of civilizational wonder.

The remnants of the Immortal Era's storage room on the Green Green Grassland.

"Fellow Daoist Han is truly passionate about scientific research?" Yan Sen asked.

"It's rare to have such a long period of time, even longer than using a time-manipulating artifact. Since I can't cultivate, learning some knowledge and tempering my mind isn't a bad thing." Han Li smiled and put down the puppet implanted with electronic components and light modules.

"The scientific pursuit of knowledge and spiritual practice are both about using one's own strength to influence the fundamental laws of the world and then applying them—this applies to chemistry, medicine, and alchemy, as well as artificial intelligence and the art of mechanical puppetry."

"Han Li has been underestimating the achievements that mortals have accumulated over generations with their wisdom under limited conditions. If we think about it, we might be able to learn from their strengths and make up for their weaknesses by integrating them."

"It's just that in my world, the path of immortality is flourishing, so the development of this kind of academic study of things is destined to be slow."

As he was speaking, he suddenly realized what was happening and raised his hand in a slight bow.

"Oh, I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Sect Master Yansen. My talent is not as good as yours, so I can only rely on hard work to make up for my shortcomings," Han Li said with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need for that. It's a rare and admirable quality to remain diligent even when you have opportunities and destiny at your disposal."

Iwamori smiled and said, "Time has frozen in all worlds, yet you are still able to move. Could it be that you have mastered the laws of time?"

"I dare not." Han Li said somewhat embarrassedly, "To be honest, when we were on a mission in the Journey to the West world of the Samsara Space, none of you fellow Daoists were restricted by time abilities, only I was imprisoned. Therefore, after returning, I began to study the time law crystals condensed by the Palm Heaven Bottle and the techniques of the time path."

He waved his hand, seemingly embarrassed.

"Let's not talk about it. The reason I invited Sect Master Iwamori here is to ask if there is a way to break this deadlock?"

"I'm afraid I don't have a good solution for this level of time power for the time being. Maintaining this body's freedom of movement or helping some fellow cultivators break free is already my limit," Yan Sen said.

"Then, fellow Daoist, could you use your methods to temporarily bring Han Li, who has achieved the highest level of mastery of the Law of Time among all my future endeavors, here?" Han Li asked.

“I think I understand what you want to do, Fellow Daoist.” Yan Sen pondered for a moment and said, “But given the limits of this Qilin Immortal Body, plus the influence of the Abyss, I can only try once.”

"Thank you for your trouble." Han Li nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Yan Sen fell silent. His eyes shimmered with divine light, reflecting the current branching point and the countless tributaries that formed. Each tributary was similar yet different, representing various possibilities for the future.

Within one of the tributaries, Han Li, dressed simply, turned around and looked back. Despite his ordinary appearance, he possessed a certain sacred and transcendent quality.

"Daoyou, please."

That image, freed from countless possibilities, became increasingly realistic under Iwamori's intervention, gradually overlapping with the present Han Li.

Those on the other shore possess their own river of time, existing in every moment of time, omnipresent in the past, present, and future. However, their common weakness lies in the future, which holds countless possibilities and branches. Without attaining enlightenment, they cannot fully occupy it.

At present, it is only a reflection of one of the possibilities, using the power of Iwamori to give reality to what he has done.

"Thank you for your kindness, Fellow Daoist." Han Li's voice came from both the present and the future, overlapping and echoing, stirring up ripples in the river of time: "I will transform into time and let this world start running again."

He bowed to Yan Sen.

bang

Centered on the point where Han Li self-destructed, in the deep and dark abyss, time seemed to be forcibly pulled up and then released. After that, the years curled up, and the phantom of a small green bottle shattered within it.

As Iwamori rose and fell with the intense tides of time, he frowned, then gradually relaxed after a moment: "Fellow Daoist, your methods are skillful."

With a whoosh, the surging waves propelled him toward an untouchable future.

Countless crystals of laws transformed into wisps of blue light, falling into the river of time and becoming a new driving force, propelling the progress of time and all things.

Huai Shi only saw those lights surrounding the mortal world, circling around him several times, and the entire static civilization was as turbulent as a disturbed reflection in a mirror.

Then, the spacetime ripples dissipated, and everything returned to normal.

He stood there stunned for a long time until Squirrel Hang ran over and he realized what had just happened.

"What happened? My two great seniors were killed. Am I going to be the only one going to the new world?" Huai Shi had a bad feeling and felt the persecution of an invisible fate.

"This is the first time I've survived so long in a dungeon without even using a resurrection artifact. I've certainly lived long enough." Squirrel Hang clasped his hands together, looking like he had achieved a life goal.

If he were to receive some more merit, people who didn't know better would think he had become a Buddha.

"And isn't Senior Su Lin still here?" Squirrel Hang flexed his muscles and carried over Su Ge, who had been pierced by a spear on the cross.

To put Huai Shi at ease, he even fixed the cross to Huai Shi's forehead.

"Maybe it has the effect of exorcising evil spirits. Those demons and monsters in the abyss shouldn't dare to act recklessly, right?" Squirrel Hang was a little uncertain.

Huai Shi: "."

So you've lived too long to start acting recklessly?!

Who would have Fenrir wearing the world-famous painting "The Death of God" on their head?!

But Huai Shi had no time to complain about it; his attention was focused on the endless abyss, where a vortex of malice seemed to lurk.

Something is gradually taking shape.

It was far more bizarre and ominous than any twisted object Huai Shi had ever seen. Even without witnessing it firsthand, the faint, unavoidable connection sent a chill down his spine, and he couldn't help but shiver a couple of times.

Fortunately, after this incident, the entire abyss seemed to quiet down, and there was no disturbance for a long time afterward. Even the ignorant scumbag hell disappeared.

Unless faced with a life-or-death crisis, they would not interfere with the development of civilization. Thus, wave after wave of leaders and people were born, history changed and generations came and went, and countless technologies experienced both failure and success.

New ideas sprout and old systems are restored, just like a spiral cycle. Although history repeats itself every time, there are always some different lights that leave indelible marks before they disappear.

Time passed too slowly and changes too quickly, so much so that Ai Qing and the remaining explorers had to fall into a deep sleep using cryogenics.

As time passed, Huai Shi suddenly felt a sharp pain one day. His bones grew and scales covered him, their color dark, resembling the form of a dragon in the Book of Revelation.

what happened? !

He sensed that this 'evolution' in form did not come from Fu Yi, who was hibernating inside the bell, but from the civilization itself protected by hell.

Without Huai Shi's own awareness, the entire civilization under his protection became part of his own hell.

On this day, the representatives of the mortal races awakened Song Shuhang in the Bikini Bottom Forbidden Zone and came before Huai Shi. Just as he knew, in their final form, each person was like a piece of light and shadow, existing between soul energy and matter, yet seemingly without distinction, linked together like the Alaya consciousness.

"In this cruel abyss, we trouble you with your long protection, our guardian god."

The representatives of the mortal races expressed their deepest, purest gratitude: "We represent the Eternal Terra Empire and have come today to confess to you that from this day forward, we will become blades, thrusting into the abyss."

"Initiate the final and eternal revenge!"

Huai Shi was momentarily bewildered, a flood of questions passing through his mind.

Why did the first chapter start with Liyue, but the last chapter developed into Terra?
