Chapter 366: A World of One Person

【An Ying Zhu's words made your thoughts waver for that brief instant.】

【The true meaning of destiny? What is it exactly?】

【You ask it, "You were annihilated by my hand, no longer exist; everything you pursued—does it truly still have meaning?"】

【"By asking that question, you prove you are still sinking in the Way of Living Beings, not yet liberated."】

【An Ying Zhu says, "Of course, I believe you will eventually break free, discover the true meaning of destiny, and walk the same path as I do."】

【"My path is not solitary; my purpose will endure forever."】

【"This! Is true eternity! Unfading with Heaven and Earth, untouched by calamities, unafraid of time."】

【"Even the Immortals at the pinnacle of your Way of Living Beings will never comprehend this destiny's path."】

【You truly do not understand An Ying Zhu's words.】

【Not only can you not understand, you cannot forgive either.】

【"Your long‑held wish will never be fulfilled."】

【Boom!】

【The Forbidden power surges, and you completely erase An Ying Zhu.】

【"It's over."】

【Everything is over.】

【Congratulations, you have unlocked the special achievement—Termination.】

【...】

【Lin Chuan's feelings are indescribable; is this the ending of the future dream Samsara World?】

【Heavenly Dao collapses, Heaven and Earth Extinction, all living beings perish…】

【Friends and relatives, Sangyu, Jiao Jiao, Xue'er, Xiao Qingmei… each one is gone, never to return.】

【And also his daughter Rumeng,】

【The Forbidden resides in her, seemingly an unsolvable predicament.】

【Such an ending is unacceptable to Lin Chuan.】

【Undoubtedly, the dream Samsara World has the most severe emotional impact on him.】

【It's as if his entire life has turned bleak.】

【What makes Lin Chuan even more powerless is that he has no idea how An Ying Zhu originated, and even if he returns to reality, halting the spread of Black Mist is difficult.】

【Regarding his daughter Rumeng, he knows the root cause but has no solution.】

【Shatter Heavenly Dao?】

【Absolutely impossible.】

【Perhaps the only way is to make Heaven's Will compromise? To let Rumeng transcend Heavenly Dao by some means?】

【An Ying Zhu is terminated, yet the dream Samsara World has not ended.】

【...】

【Gazing at the dissipating An Ying Zhu, you sit alone amid the Starry Sky.】

【After venting extreme anger, your heart is left hollow, completely sunk into confusion.】

【You have nothing left.】

【You do not know where to go; even the Samsara World is like rootless duckweed, countless spirits can no longer reincarnate.】

【Unless you find some treasure in the universe, attract the breath of living beings, reforge Heaven and Earth's rules, and wait through long ages.】

【But you…】

【Don't want to wait.】

【Anyway, everything is meaningless to you now—Sister, Sangyu, Jiao Jiao, Zhi Yi, Xue'er, Lü Ya, Rumeng, Yue Ming, Qing Fan, Xia Zi…】

【Too many, too many people cannot return.】

【Rebuilding a world is just a world that doesn't belong to you; does it still have meaning?】

【You force yourself not to overthink.】

【Isn't the purpose of persisting until now precisely this?】

【You head toward the depths of the Chaos Universe, seeking the breath of living beings, preparing to rebuild Heaven and Earth.】

【But these are not that easy to find.】

【Whenever a wave of intense loneliness hits, whenever you think of long‑gone friends, whenever you realize that no matter how hard you try they won't return, you can't help but want to give up.】

【Transform into a solitary wanderer, roaming the Chaos, thinking of nothing, emptying your soul.】

【Like Black Mist, that also seems fine.】

【Your consciousness sinks deeper.】

【At your ear, Rumeng's voice seems to ripple.】

【"You promised me, you must never regret!"】

【"Even if there's only one person, you must keep going."】

【You suddenly awaken, drenched in cold sweat.】

【Just a hair's breadth away, your consciousness would have sunk, becoming like An Ying Zhu—that would be the true failure.】

【For the following period, you remain lucid, continuing to seek the breath of living beings.】

【But repeated failures, stemming from the void in your spirit, pull you back into An Ying Zhu's consciousness.】

【It is like an ever‑lasting vortex, constantly drawing you.】

【Any lapse will plunge you into a realm of endless calamity.】

【So your greatest enemy is not An Ying Zhu, but yourself—the conflicted spirit filled with complex thoughts versus endless Longevity.】

Your thoughts can never stay the same.

No matter how steadfast you are now, what about ten thousand years later? One hundred thousand years later? A million years later? Hundreds of millions of years later? There will always come a day when you change.

Unless you have no soul and become an instinctive creature like Black Mist.

I don't know how long I've been roaming in the Chaos Universe.

You have never found a Living treasure capable of reforging the Shi Jie foundation, but…

You have seen a new Living World.

It is still weak, yet it radiates abundant vitality; this long‑awaited feeling makes you yearn to merge with it.

But you know that place does not belong to you.

If you go there, there are no Human Race like you; you would only be treated as an invader.

Heaven's Will will not tolerate you.

Just as you once drove away Black Mist, this Living World will also drive you away.

You held back and ultimately did not disturb them.

You set out on the journey to continue seeking the breath of the Living.

Again the endless years pass, and you find that the solitary Samsara World is beginning to falter, its souls spilling out.

Completely return to the Chaos Universe, disappearing into the river of time.

The familiar aura grows ever scarcer.

You suddenly recall that green‑skirted girl; she was in the Samsara World, turned into a stone, awaiting your return.

As the power of the Samsara World continues to wane, she too is fading quickly.

If even this last hope is lost, you will truly be unable to persist, and will break the pact.

Amid the complex mental struggle, you subconsciously arrive at a place.

It is the Living World you happened to discover.

Now there is only one solution: use this Living World as a foundation and forcibly reforged the Samsara heavens and earth.

But doing so would break the original balance.

Countless Living beings of that world would die because of it, and you would become the invader you once despised most.

You don't want to do this…

But you have to do it; even if you can endure now, someday your consciousness will no longer suppress yourself.

You have found it; it will never disappear again, forever residing in your heart.

It's like a poor thief who discovers a wealthy household easy to loot; once you go, you can rob it clean.

Seeing it sealed the fate.

You finally took a step forward, heading toward that Living World.
