Chapter 1374: Listen! Revelry in the Divinely Blessed Mountaintop (3)

Likeglassthatshattered, reachingthroughthedarkness（Like glass that shattered, reaching through the darkness）

Voicestrailingfires, echoofdesires（The call pulls the dying embers, free yearning never ceases）

Aworldofsilence, soundofDeath'sparading（Silence, this world's apocalyptic revelry never ceases）

Phantomsintheshadow, softlywaiting…（Until the past memories close my eyes）

Beneath him lay the corpses of hundreds of millions of golden descendants, like Aolixie's golden wheat fields. This time, he must rise from here.

Bai'e clenched his teeth tightly, yet in this reluctance and resentment, a faint smile suddenly curled at the corner of his mouth……

——That smile seemed to be mocking his fate.

A cluster of flames again blazed fiercely in his heart; Bai'e propped himself up with one hand on the ground, inch by inch rising to his feet. His whole body seemed ignited by anger, even his hair rising like flames.

Fenfeng said nothing, yet seemed to understand; he casually tossed Qinshen to Bai'e, as if wanting him to continue fighting him.

Bai'e caught it steadily, but this time he first severed his own wings; he wished to pour out his endless rage as a human toward Nanuke and his minions once more!

I'mtearin'itdown! Embracethedetonation（Tear apart the golden blood, rage bursting, embrace my dazzling explosion）

Burnin'itloud! Cravin'ourdamncreation（Thirty million turns echo through this karmic cycle）

Breakin'thechain! I'mreachin'forya（Chains broken, I reach toward your side）

Ohohohohohohyeah!!

One-Punch Man

「Thirty million turns! 」

「Look, he's standing up! 」

「Bai'e hasn't lost yet; he can still keep fighting Fenfeng! 」

「Bai'e, you must never bow before Him! 」

On the streets of Z City, people stopped their work, looked up to watch the battle between Bai'e and Fenfeng in the sky. Seeing Bai'e rise from the ground again, cheers surged like a tidal wave, the whole city seemed to boil along with Bai'e.

「During Bai'e's challenge against Nanuke, not a single monster attack occurred anywhere. 」 Longjuan slowly lowered the blinds, asking his tall sister behind him: 「Bingxue, do you know what this means? 」

「It means that even the monsters are closely watching Bai'e's battle and its outcome…… Could the monsters also be hoping for Bai'e to create a miracle? 」 Bingxue frowned slightly.

「After all, 'Destruction' treats all equally; it won't give you a break just because you're human or monster. 」 Longjuan sighed deeply, 「But Bai'e has already had an arm cut off; he's probably……」

Longjuan couldn't bear to continue.

Even she, who is usually proud, had to admit that Bai'e had done enough; yet between the Fate Walker and Fenfeng lies an insurmountable chasm.

That chasm is the authority of 'Destruction'.

After all, the Extinction Grand Monarch is an envoy personally promoted by Nanuke; on the path of 'Destruction', he is simply too strong.

Shouttilltheend! Thisblazeismysalvation！（Roaring until the end, this body is the savior's flame）

Swordinthewind! Istrikewithoutdamnation！（Qinshen as sword, recreating the world without damnation belief）

In the next second, Bai'e suddenly surged forward!

The fury of thirty million turns made him constantly burn himself; his Qinshen split the air and fell, the blow actually carving a deep, ferocious trench hundreds of zhang into the earth, shrapnel and the corpses of the antimatter legion exploding skyward.

Bai'e leapt into midair using the recoil of that sword, lunging at Fenfeng; in an instant, a yellow and a white line wildly intertwined in the air, too fast for the naked eye to track, only occasional bursts of fire flashing visible.

However, when the two's movements froze, it was——

Fenfeng had already seized Bai'e's Qinshen, a sword piercing his body!

Yet Bai'e's eyes showed no despair; he still gritted his teeth, his gaze holding only the…… frenzy to burn everything!

He endured the pain of his pierced body; the heat of four hundred million fire seeds made his body like a sun, constantly radiating scorching heat, he tightly gripped the sword embedded in his body, and Qinshen actually melted into molten iron in his hand!

Shattertheskies！（Shatter the skies! ）

Nofate（Reincarnation）

noking（Destiny）

nogod！（Nothingness）

Zizzle——!!

He turned his broken body into flames; in an instant he broke free of Fenfeng's grasp, raging flames erupting from within, Bai'e's whole body instantly becoming a fire person!

He kept running forward, stars dissipating in his fury; he crossed one star system after another, traversed one celestial river after another, flames surging across his skin like waves, every tongue of fire his roar, his anger!

He would grant Him the dawn of all stars burning!

Near.

Closer!

He spanned the distance between heaven and earth, broke through the barriers of fate, and with his all-consuming fury finally reached that divinely blessed mountaintop!

A strand of flame that had burned for thirty million ages finally grazed Nanuke's cheek.

Hiss——

The flame left a conspicuous wound on Nanuke's cheek.

「We won!! 」

「A scar left on the star god! Bai'e won! 」

「Waaah, Kevin big brother, look quick! Bai'e won! 」

Parado burst into tears and snot, continually wiping her eyes with her palms: 「Waaah, Bai'e is truly amazing, he actually wounded the star god! 」

「Yeah, turns out gods can bleed too. 」

Kevin silently watched the pale Bai'e in the sky; he knew he had burned out completely, leaving only white ash.

Bai'e, he accomplished a feat no one could imagine; he truly injured the Star God with his own power. He made everyone understand that the Star God need not be an exalted being—he too would bleed, he too would be wounded, and he embraced his fate with 'Destruction'.

He truly ignited a torch capable of piercing the darkness with the anger of thirty million ages.

For some reason, Kevin suddenly recalled a saying that philosopher had once told him long, long ago.

"I will fly to the horizon, and greet my own victory with a fall."

At this moment, Bai'e is none other than the Icarus of myth—he has proven one thing to everyone—

"He flew to the very face of the sun—a place no one has ever reached."

"So perhaps someone could also surpass him."

——

Genshin.

"Oh? He actually managed to do that?"

Laindote widened her eyes in surprise; a Pathwalker had exhausted everything to injure the Star God… this was the first time in her memory.

The firmament had more than once displayed the Star God's might; even the Star God in a simulated universe had an extremely profound influence on Teyvat. When the Star God was first 'bred,' Teyvat gained countless new insect species, which made her, the 'Sovereign of Life,' feel especially astonished.

The Star God's power is supreme—at least on this path it is an indisputable pinnacle; those who walk this path, the Pathwalkers, could not possibly harm Him—that was her previous argument, but now it can be overturned.

"How about it, dear Laindote—has Bai'e exceeded your expectations?" A screen suddenly appeared beside Laindote, showing a face identical to hers.

"Of course, Miss Nabei, this is a surprising discovery." Laindote rested a finger lightly on her chin, "He at least makes us understand that the Star God is not beyond reach; as the pinnacle of the path, a Pathwalker… or an Envoy could kill it, provided their power meets certain conditions."

"Your idea is still as arrogant as ever."

"This is speculation, Miss Nabei." Laindote said with interest, "If a god can be injured, it also means they can be killed; Bai'e has indeed accomplished an incredible feat, and the anger of thirty million ages is truly not to be underestimated."

"Rather, human will can always create some incredible miracles."

Laindote's lips curled slightly into a smile: 'I actually agree with that, so humanity is worth my deeper research.'

——

"Nanuk's gaze twitched slightly."

"The wound Bai'e left on His face with the exhaustion of thirty million ages of anger slowly healed and eventually disappeared."

"In the darkness, Bai'e's body kept falling, falling."

"Like burning ash, his body dissolved into specks of golden light in the wind, yet within that dissipation lay his younger self."

"Little Bai'e flew toward the point of light below."

"That was the light of dawn… warm and warm, sprinkling upon his youthful smiling face."

"My wish?"

"My wish is to fulfill everyone's wishes."

"In little Bai'e's eyes, one could almost see again the wheat fields of Aolixie, the abundant heads of grain swaying gently in the wind."

"If it cannot be fulfilled…"

"Then let us send them to tomorrow."
