Chapter 96

hearing the rather seductive voice in her ear, Jade gently raised her eyes.

【"No need to lament this unavoidable destruction; you can just rewrite it yourself."】

The soft voice rang in Sparkle's ear.

In a tavern on the edge of the world, a smile appeared on Sparkle's lips: "I'm fighting the Calamity Empire, for real?"

【"You can possess such power."】

On the Astral Express, Stelle, who was rummaging through a trash can, heard the voice coming to her ear.

But, obsessed with rummaging through the trash can, she magnificently ignored this soft voice.

However, a pair of fingers overflowing with stars slowly climbed onto her cheek,

and at the same moment, they also climbed onto the cheeks of Lord Fu Xuan, Robin, Jade, and Sparkle.

A long, snow-white dress appeared before them, with stars flowing through the fabric.

Pale pink hair drifted toward the stars, and the face looked like a young girl of thirteen or fourteen, yet it was filled with divinity.

Soft wings unfolded from behind her, and gentle eyes gazed at them.

【"Do you want to live? Do you want to defeat the Calamity Empire?"】

【"Do you want more elation? Do you want the living beings of the universe to be saved?"】

【"Power, wealth, knowledge, and all priceless and priced things are waiting for you to take."】

Lord Fu Xuan frowned and asked: "What is your purpose?"

"Who are you?!" Robin couldn't help but ask.

"What is the prerequisite for obtaining all of this?" Jade asked, crossing her arms.

"Interesting." Sparkle couldn't help but laugh softly: "There's hope to beat the Calamity Empire?"

Stelle was still rummaging through the trash can.

【"I have been waiting for you."】

【"'End of Reincarnation,' 'Madoka,' 'Law of Cycles'....."】

The pink-haired girl with a smile and full of divinity said softly:

【"These are all my names; perhaps you have heard one of them before."】

【"I can grant you everything, and naturally, I can grant you the hope to defeat the Calamity Empire."】

【"So..."】

The girl who called herself "End of Reincarnation" slowly reached out her fingertips toward the people before her, gently touching their cheeks.

Her tone was filled with divinity and temptation, making the living beings unable to help but look up and gaze into those gorgeous golden eyes:

【"Come make a contract with me!"】

"No time, wait until I finish rummaging through the trash can," Stelle said, burying her head in the trash can.

93. 【The Precursor: Vultaum】

The hem of her dress, flowing with stars, swayed with the wind, and her pure wings drifted slowly.

She, petite as a girl of thirteen or fourteen, gently reached out her fingertips and touched Lord Fu Xuan's cheek.

A warmth, a holiness, and a radiance slowly welled up in Lord Fu Xuan's heart.

【"Come make a contract with me!"】

A voice like one coming from the highest heaven rang in Lord Fu Xuan's ears, as grand as ten thousand people singing in chorus.

"Make a contract?" Lord Fu Xuan looked at this young girl full of divinity before her, her gaze unable to help but shift slightly.

This girl who had appeared before her inexplicably actually called herself the "End of Reincarnation,"

the same name as the final plan executed by the Zelo Ascensionist faction.

Could it be that she was one of the Void Realm gods awakened by the Zelo clan's activities in the Void Realm?

A glimmer of hope couldn't help but rise in Lord Fu Xuan's heart.

If they could obtain the assistance of the Void Realm gods, then the Luofu Xianzhou would at least have a chance to survive at the hands of the Calamity Empire.

But...

Lord Fu Xuan remembered the fate of the Zelo clan, and another layer of cold sweat couldn't help but break out on her body.

The gifts of the Void Realm were not without cost; Lord Fu Xuan knew this.

"I still have the Luofu Xianzhou; what exactly can I obtain... from your hands?"

"And what will you take away?"

Lord Fu Xuan raised her head and asked, gazing at the divine woman before her.

The girl who called herself the "End of Reincarnation" revealed a faint smile.

The stars in the hem of her dress swayed along with it; ten thousand suns were born and died, ten thousand planets fell and were reborn.

All endings, all destructions, all rebirths, all recreations—

ten thousand things, the brilliant stars, were all within the cycle of reincarnation, moving forward without end.

【"I will grant you infinity."】

【"And you must pay with the end."】

As the girl's voice rang out, Lord Fu Xuan's eyes reflected a different posture.

She saw the explosive development of the Luofu Xianzhou's technology, the military becoming powerful, and resources gushing out from everywhere like springs.

She saw the Luofu Xianzhou establishing new colonies on countless planets across the universe, saw the Luofu Xianzhou's space stations floating above stars,

and saw the Luofu Xianzhou spanning the stars—not six ships, but countless Luofu Xianzhou ships obscuring the stars and covering the sun.

This was the infinity promised by the End of Reincarnation.

She would grant the Luofu Xianzhou near-infinite power,

as long as the Luofu Xianzhou was willing to bring... and pay the end.

The reckoning would eventually come, but before that...

the Luofu Xianzhou could use the gifts of the End of Reincarnation without restraint.

Lord Fu Xuan's heart pounded, and she couldn't help but take a few steps back.

This temptation coiled around Lord Fu Xuan's heart, inducing her to make a choice.

However, after a moment of silence, Lord Fu Xuan said:

"I do not have the right to make a choice on behalf of the entire Luofu Xianzhou; I need some time."

【"Of course you may."】

The End of Reincarnation looked down at Lord Fu Xuan, and also looked down at the other chosen girls.

【"But, make a decision quickly; our time is not abundant."】

【"Hurry and exceed the speed of light, while the stars are still brilliant."】

As the voice fell, the figure of the girl filled with divinity became hazy.

"Wait!" Lord Fu Xuan raised her head, hurriedly trying to stop the girl from disappearing before her eyes.

"Tell me first, what exactly is the Calamity Empire pursuing?"

"Is the ascension they speak of the same as the Zelo clan's?"

"What exactly is the higher level they speak of?"

The girl floating before Lord Fu Xuan gently closed her eyes and murmured in a low voice:

【"Reality."】

【"The reality above reality."】

【"Where our creator, audience, meaning, and value reside."】

Regardless of Lord Fu Xuan's eyes filled with confusion, the girl disappeared silently before her.

"What... what is this supposed to mean..."

Lord Fu Xuan couldn't help but mutter to herself:

"Reality? The reality above reality?"

A strange feeling couldn't help but rise in Lord Fu Xuan's heart.

Just at this moment, the light screen at the corner of her eye lit up with a faint glow again...

"You, you signed it???"
