Chapter 389: Goodbye

In a trance, Ji Jue seemed to have returned once again to that infinite burning scorched earth spirit realm.

The earth was covered with pitch-black scorch marks, and scarlet rain fell from the sky.

"Hello, everyone."

He raised his eyes, looked at the infinite bones in front of him, looked at their faces, and solemnly told them: "I have come to fulfill the agreement."

Eleven years ago, the soul that escaped from this hell returned to hell once again.

Carrying a sword.

Even the empire that claimed to be eternal would eventually come to an end, and now, it was the turn of this endless hell to burn out in the flames.

Just as the wailing of countless souls longed for.

The sword of Chunjun slashed down.

Without hesitation!

In the trance of a dream, Ji Jue heard the crying and shouting once again, and even the hysterical laughter and the sigh of relief.

The flames were dying, and the souls imprisoned here were dying along with them.

But at the same time, another familiar voice seemed to be wailing and shouting.

Accusing.

"What on earth are you doing?!"

In the reflection of the flames, that face identical to his own was burning, shedding blood and tears, accusing: "We should have been able to merge into one, truly complete, truly whole."

"No, we shouldn't have appeared in the first place."

Ji Jue smiled, told him, and then slashed off his head.

Stepped over his own bones.

Never look back again.

Just like the destined cause and effect.

The Ji Jue of today was created by the former Flame Tide Disaster, died from disaster and hell, and was reborn, coming to this world.

But the Flame Tide Disaster shouldn't have existed, and the Ji Jue of today shouldn't exist either.

From the beginning, this was a mistake. No matter how perfect a mistake is, it is still a mistake, just as no matter how beautiful a hell is, it is still a hell.

Now, the time to correct this mistake has come.

Don't hesitate.

Even if what awaits him after hell ends is not paradise.

Ji Jue swung his sword again.

This time, accompanied by countless gathered sparks, wisps of pain spread from his soul, as if piercing into his soul.

But he still didn't stop.

Forward.

In a trance, he seemed to see the long time once engraved in the flames...

The infinite darkness under the vortex, the strange and colorful chaos, the gestation of infinite time, the first wisp of flame ignited in the overlap of the abyss and the vortex, spreading endlessly.

Finally, in hoarse laughter, responding to the call, rising to the world, stretching his body, dancing, reveling, following the already destined result, shrouding everything.

The world seemed to be burning out.

But in the burning world, a song rang out, so familiar.

Gentle and calm.

Calling to him.

In a world filled with despair and madness, such calmness and gentleness were like a depression, attracting infinite pain and resentment to gather.

Countless scarlet danced, entwining around her, deep into the bone marrow, like thorns with barbs.

The heritage of the Great Evil began here.

"..."

Ji Jue was stunned, stopped, wanted to open his mouth, but couldn't make a sound.

This is everything that happened in the past, the truth and essence of the disaster.

The one chosen by the Flame Tide Disaster...

Was not himself at all!

In the disaster, the only achievement and crystallization, the only hope and future, fell upon her, craving coexistence and transformation.

But she just endured silently, without any response.

Letting infinite despair and wailing pour into her soul.

Then, embracing the crucial hope in her arms.

Enduring and waiting in the endless burning, her eyes drooping, singing softly.

Thus, the crucial ritual met with unexpected changes, and the seed of the Great Evil that should have been inherited died in the womb.

The achievement that should have been created abandoned its own life.

Just to protect her child...

Until the flames burned out and the disaster ended.

She raised her head, as if across time, seeing the phantom of the future, her hollow pupils seemed to light up again, shining like stars.

As if all the pain and sacrifice had been rewarded.

A silent smile, lips opening and closing.

Farewell here.

And the treasure she left behind was entrusted to another person Ji Jue never dreamed of.

Lu Yingyue.

In the lingering sound of the song, the tired woman lowered her head, looked at the child and the sword in front of her, closed her eyes, and couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly.

Made the final decision.

Draw the sword!

Decisively stabbed into the child's heart and soul, using all her strength. Letting the fire of the Evil Demon crawl upward along the blade, burning her arm, body, and face into charcoal.

Until, cutting off all the remaining Great Evil.

She bent down, carefully picked up the treasure entrusted to her, and turned to walk out without looking back.

Just like that, brushing past Ji Jue.

Stumbling and staggering, carrying the child on her back, walking out of hell step by step.

Going toward the future.

This was a sacrifice, a sacrifice that should have ended more than ten years ago, but the sacrifice turned its back on fate and walked off the altar.

This was a ritual to inherit the Great Evil, but the Great Evil had long been broken in the ritual.

The Evil Demon that should have been born chose to abandon everything and give the final hope to her child. And the person who should have killed this remnant abandoned his mission and cut off the entanglement between him and the Flame Tide.

Now, it was his turn to end all this!

Ji Jue moved forward again, step by step, walking straight toward the collapsing and destroying hell, walking all the way to the end, looking for the last soul imprisoned here.

The final fulcrum of the Flame Tide Disaster!

Until he turned his head slowly.

Saw the broken carriage, and the child who was still left in the ruins.

The child also turned his head and looked at him.

Across the distance of eleven years.

That was the last person left in that fire who couldn't be freed.

"You really are here, Ji Jue."

He sighed in a trance: "Are you okay?"

The child silently retracted his gaze, made no movement, just looked at the center of the carriage, that blank space where no ashes remained.

Could no longer hear the singing.

Ji Jue sat beside him, accompanied him, silent and speechless.

Until the child turned his head and told him, "Mom is gone."

"I know."

"From now on, you must be strong, you must take good care of yourself, and you must not be weak or evasive again."

"Hmm."

"Don't let down the remaining life and future she gave you..."

The child said softly, "You must do something."

"I promise."

Ji Jue nodded decisively, without hesitation.

Thus, the child smiled, slowly got up, stood in front of him, and spread his hands, "Then, are you ready to receive this curse from yourself, Ji Jue?"

Ji Jue reached out, hugged the smiling child, and promised him:

"I will accept it gladly!"

At that moment, in hell, the final cracking sound rang out.

The past and phantoms dissipated along with the flames, ending completely.

The invisible spirit annihilated into nothingness. The tangible objects shattered like dust.

The essence of the abyss and the wilderness annihilated silently, and the destruction that should have been completed met destruction.

Clearly the negation and opposite of the upper good, but was negated and flipped again.

Like a paradox.

The opposite of the opposite is not the front, the destruction of destruction is not birth. The Evil Demon born in the Great Evil is beyond the Great Evil.

When the Flame Tide Disaster completely annihilated, Ji Jue should have completely dissipated along with it, but now, what is left here?

He slowly opened his eyes, looked down at the deep crack on his chest... after the flames of the past in the [Hole] were completely extinguished, new flames lit up.

So small, yet so pure.

That was himself.

The Seed of the Abyss belonging to Ji Jue was completely completed!

But this crystallization of evil had nothing to do with the vortex, arrogantly independent of the vortex, contemptuously overlooking all evil stupidity.

The Flame Tide was exhausted, and in the nothingness of dead ashes, new flames that surpassed everything reappeared with Ji Jue’s soul as the fire seed.

At this moment, when the fierce light completely dissipated, in Ji Jue’s hands, the final fragments of the Flame Tide Seed scattered silently and dissipated into nothing.

No longer existing in the world.

And after the flames that made up Ji Jue’s body were completely extinguished, they rekindled from the ashes once again!

Reconstructed in an instant, reborn.

The circulating flame light covered his whole body, and after swallowing the fire of non-fate,

It gathered upward again, from the scarlet, pitch-black crystals grew like living things, sharp edges, intertwined, turning into a ferocious and cold seven-horned black crown!

Like the manifestation of the Great Evil in the world, flames rose in the hole of the world on his chest.

But it was completely different from all Great Evils, and even had nothing to do with the vortex, without any resonance.

Not taking refuge in the Great Evil, nor leading to the vortex, transcendent, independent.

The evil of self-nature, the demon of self-destruction!

Achieving the evil of the world with my own body, therefore, evil is in me, evil is in me, success and destruction are also in me!

What does it have to do with you guys?!

At this moment, the Evil Demon reborn in the flames spread his arms and laughed at the sky. The wanton and teasing laughter echoed incessantly, but with his movements, the shaking of the rift world began to become more and more intense.

Heaven collapsed, earth cracked!

All things were immersed in destruction, the sacrificial temple wailed, the fulcrum shook.

The vortex overlapping with the world suddenly enlarged, the darkness of the Eye of the Great Evil expanded again, and in the violent trembling, it was about to swallow everything.

"Say goodbye, everyone!"

Ji Jue bowed for the last time, as if bowing to the curtain, leading the rift world to fall toward the vortex, without any nostalgia.

"Thank you for your hard work, running around in vain, making this crown and clothes for me.

If you still have this honor, then wait for the day when I create a holy dynasty and turn evil into good, and we will meet again!

Haha, hahahaha, hahahaha—"

BOOM!!!

Accompanied by the expansion of the Eye of the Great Evil, the moment the light of the Heaven Furnace dimmed and broke.

A rift appeared from the void, and the angry rainbow light flowed out, intertwined like a giant hand, grabbing toward the rift world!

Easily tearing apart the rejection of the sacrificial temple and the blockade of the rift world, like an overwhelming torrent, opening five fingers toward the sacrificial temple.

Grabbed down!

Suddenly, changes occurred.

Making the eyes of the Heaven Furnace unable to restrain themselves from lighting up...

Finally, took the bait!!!

Finally, they took the bait!!!
