Chapter 6: Chapter Six: Rising and Falling

Xiao Ning was stunned; she had not only been there, but had also acted as a person twice—was she going to experience life?

Just as he hadn't yet recovered, the rear palace suddenly burst forth with a pillar of light reaching the heavens, which lasted only three seconds before disappearing.

"What is this?"

"Older sister sent Prince Lu over; she was uneasy, looked at the map to find you, casually laid out some roads—don't let Prince Lu end up without a road."

Xiao Ning fell silent; the people of Summer Brilliance State always speak with hidden meanings.

And within Prince Lu's fief, Wan Wujiang had already cleared all living creatures that could harm the feudal prince, only Prince Shun was still wandering village by village.

Because Summer Brilliance State and the region south of the Great River had already surrounded the area north of the Great River, if the locals dared to attack him, they would be caught in a pincer.

At this moment, the entire region south of the Great River had been completely renewed by Wan Wujiang, bearing no resemblance to the former scene of ruined walls and broken tiles, after all, the people there were preparing for revenge and had no time to rebuild their homes.

"I don't understand why they are so united—like poisonous insects, they unleash their venom without reservation, yet they never harm a companion. It's as if they are countless avatars of a single person, born with genes that make others uncomfortable, yet they never fight among themselves."

"I don't know; even that Slaughter God, I only have memories of them when I encounter them, yet such a powerful existence—how could it be so easily eliminated?"

She couldn't help but worry—no matter how she put it, she couldn't possibly face only one such enemy; if someone had time-traveled to before she was born, she simply could not have been born.

Huang Yingkong had heard of such time travelers—specializing in slaughtering the protagonist's parents to prevent the protagonist's birth; his sister-in-law was exactly such a protagonist, so it's no surprise they've tried countless times.

"Since I still exist now, that shows they cannot erase me in the past; at most they can only reverse the timeline to push me out, but I will make them understand: those who follow me live, those who oppose me die."

"What a big mouth—since you've come, let you see who decides life and death!"

Countless spirits surged forth from earth, sky, stars, and void, and the putrid aura instantly spread throughout the Great River region.

Dark light assaulted from the entire universe, converging in the Great River region, finally

It actually isolated all surrounding space, forming a terrifyingly sinister grand formation!

Now the universe, aside from Summer Brilliance State, has plunged all other spaces into darkness; even the upper realm has utterly lost its luster.

"I'm not failing to understand why you're so persistent; I'm failing to understand why you're so obstinate as to want to face me."

Although she is not one who enjoys winning arguments with words, she never lets others get away with winning arguments with words.

"You cannot keep coming back; under our pincer attack, you will eventually be knocked out of the reality dimension! Completely negate all proof of your existence!"

Wan Wujiang, how could she not know? There once was a great figure who claimed to have nothing and lack nothing, yet the Heaven Slaughter God struck him until he could no longer have anything, reducing him to utter nothingness!

That nothingness is pure and clean—even the Heaven Slaughter God himself has no memory of striking him! It completely collapsed into an illusion, with no possibility of becoming real again.

"Planning to pincer me in the timeline and then erase me outside of time—your scheme is clever, but you should have come together with that Heaven Slayer."

"The whole universe is just you, this ungrateful nation; his sacrifice was worthwhile."

Wan Wujiang was greatly startled; logically, erasing a person completely would leave others with no memory, for that is a true alteration of reality, yet they still remember.

If she remembers, it's because she needs to confirm—are those Heaven Slaughter God's companions remembering through her?

If that's the case, then materializing that nonexistent thing from memory—wouldn't I......

"Only now you realize? Too late!"

Heaven Slaughter God appeared out of thin air, just like last time, again bringing two hostages: Huang Chengde and Wan Rufeng!

"I am immortal and indestructible; you think making me never exist would solve it? Whether I exist or not is beyond anyone's control, and you think you can control reality? That's mere wishful thinking! Or you can control reality, while I transcend reality!"

This taste of being overpowered made Wan Wujiang feel vexed for the first time; even though she had surveyed all past and future, Heaven Slaughter God had not manifested that power on any timeline—could it be that those endings were just playing with her?

"I've always been the type who blocks soldiers with arms and water with earth, but now I inexplicably feel I shouldn't"

(Chapter not yet complete, please turn the page)

She slowly rose until she was level with Heaven Slaughter God, then stopped; she of course knew the former emperor and her father had already been captured, but she hadn't expected it to be Heaven Slaughter God who did the capturing.

"Go ahead and try—see if the soldiers and water have really come."

Heaven Slaughter God immediately understood that Wan Wujiang did not want to admit it, wanting to deny reality to make these things vanish, but she cannot now alter reality while also contending with a bunch of people.

"Let me see your resolve—are you making the world my enemy, or is the world refusing to work for you?"

Suddenly, the universe returned to normal, as if nothing had happened; this abrupt change left Heaven Slaughter God and his companions unaware how they had done it.

"It is annihilation; as long as there is an existence, I can counter it!"

"Nonsense, I am not material, you......"

"What do you mean 'you'? This time it's not just you; from now on, my future will have no you."

Only saw Wan Wujiang's thought stir—the universe suddenly vanished, everything not belonging to the universe was expelled, and the former emperor and her father, who were still in Heaven Slaughter God's grasp, instantly broke free from his clutches!

"If you want them to disappear completely, you should do it in the void outside the universe; inside the universe, everything is spacetime."

"You......"

She realized that the reason they could not be completely eradicated was because the universe itself is spacetime; driving people out of spacetime within spacetime is worse than letting them originally dwell in the void, becoming nothing!

"I'm not resigned!"

Wan Wujiang's elements instantly filled the void outside every universe; within a few breaths, Heaven Slaughter God and the others were reduced to utter nothingness, truly with no chance of rebirth.

She clutched her chest; forcibly using her future self's power was still extremely strained—although she only used her own element, her element is now only third stage, whereas to kill a boss one would need at least over tenth stage.

But now there is no one outside the universe who can catch her; if she faints, she must descend from an altitude of ten thousand.

"Good."

I don't know who answered; Wan Wujiang didn't even hear that voice, and she slowly drifted down.

"I will take responsibility for ensuring your birth; you take responsibility for creating your own future……"
