Chapter 268: Reversing Heaven and Sun, Glimpsing the Future!

Three years later.

Central Region, Immortal Alliance Holy Land.

The so-called Immortal Alliance Holy Land of the Xiyanzhou was built upon the only large-scale, top-tier Fifth Tier Spirit Pulse in the entire continent; this Spirit Pulse stretched for over a thousand miles, and this thousand-mile zone had become the holy land that thousands upon thousands of cultivators dreamed of.

One could see rolling mountains and misty flowing clouds here, with magnificent immortal palaces and grand halls hidden within the clouds and fog, reflecting brilliant immortal light everywhere, resembling the magnificent scenery of the Heavenly Court.

Amidst such splendor, thousands upon thousands of cultivators around the holy land rode light trails and steered Dharma Artifacts, rushing toward the highest peak of the holy land, Taicang Peak.

The vast majority of these cultivators were at the late stage of Qi Refining or even Foundation Establishment and above; even Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators, who were rarely seen in the past, were everywhere.

The reason it was so lively here was none other than the fact that this was the enthronement ceremony for the twelfth Heavenly Monarch of the Immortal Alliance, Xuanyuan Heavenly Monarch.

The Great Name of Xuanyuan Heavenly Monarch had swept across the entire Xiyanzhou three years ago and had even spread to the Zhongtian and Nanchan continents; the entire cultivation world knew of the existence of this Heavenly Monarch.

However, knowing was one thing, but this Heavenly Monarch was extremely low-key and had remained stationed in the border defense zone, causing the vast majority of the millions of cultivators in the inner regions to have never witnessed his demeanor.

But just a few days ago, the Immortal Alliance suddenly sent letters to all the major Immortal Cities, stating that they would formally hold an enthronement ceremony for Xuanyuan Heavenly Monarch, so once the major families of the major Immortal Cities learned of this, they immediately sent representatives with gifts to the holy land to participate in the celebration, which resulted in the incredibly lively and grand scene today.

At the same time.

The immortal palace hall on the main peak of the holy land.

Five-colored light rippled like water, seemingly containing an unimaginably vast world within, hanging tightly above the firmament like a heavenly palace temple.

Tens of thousands of cultivators, under the guidance and arrangement of the Immortal Alliance disciples, arrived at the plaza one after another to wait, and soon nearly one hundred thousand cultivators had gathered; most of them were exceptionally excited, gazing into the distance at the immortal palace hall:

"Tomorrow we will be able to see that Xuanya Daoist; I heard rumors that this Daoist has world-shaking Supernatural Power, and even late-stage Deity Transformation cultivators are no match for him!"

"I have heard this rumor too; my grandfather's friend works in the upper echelons of the Immortal Alliance, and according to him, this Heavenly Monarch has truly fought head-on against Douzhan Tianjun, Zhulong Heavenly Monarch, and Lingjian Tianjun, and actually gained the upper hand!"

"What, is this really true?"

"Otherwise, why do you think the Immortal Alliance would put on such a big show? Isn't it just to win over people's hearts?"

"This time, not only have all the Immortal Cities of the Xiyanzhou sent representatives, but even the two major continents of Zhongtian and Nanchan have sent heavyweight figures!"

"Heavyweight figures? Could it be Return to Void Great Ability?"

"That I don't know."

Amidst the low whispers of millions of cultivators.

In a certain space within the grand hall, birdsong and fragrant flowers, a gentle breeze carrying the fresh scent of soil, and a faint moisture following a spring rain rushed toward the face; a touch of green came into view, which was precisely a secluded bamboo forest and rippling blue waves.

In the center of the blue waves was a small, elegant lakeside pavilion, where two people seemed to be playing a game of Go inside the bamboo gazebo.

An old woman was dressed in simple Daoist robes, and Lu Yuan, sitting opposite her, was smiling and waiting while holding a piece.

The lines on the chessboard in front of the two were crisscrossed; at first glance, it seemed unremarkable, but if one probed with their consciousness, they would find that the surface of the chessboard actually gave one a feeling of being immeasurably vast and boundless.

On the chessboard, ten-thousand-foot mountain ranges and surging rivers appeared; points of light flickered on the board like starlight, rotating around the board, giving one the feeling of a brilliant galaxy and shifting stars. Immediately after, a dazzling scorching sun actually rose from the end of the chessboard, as if rising from the horizon, and when the great sun set, a bright moon rose from the sea, illuminating the world.

There was vibrant life, wind, frost, snow, and rain, and the four seasons flashing by; spring thunder rumbled, nourishing all things. A mere chessboard was a world containing everything, with mountains, rivers, sun, moon, stars, and the four seasons of wind and rain all within it. It seemed as if one powerful kingdom after another, one cultivation civilization after another, were born and perished on this chessboard.

The two people sitting at the ends of the game were like playing a game with a world as the board and all living things as the pieces.

When the other party placed the last piece, Lu Yuan could not help but drop the piece in his hand and smiled: "Senior Phantom Sea is truly amazing; the junior has lost. I see that your spirit and energy have recovered quite a bit; I suppose it won't be long before you can completely eradicate the Heavenly Corpse Poison within your Primordial Spirit, right?"

The person in front of him was none other than another Return to Void Great Ability of the Immortal Alliance, Phantom Sea Daoist.

The high-level Deity Transformation members of the Immortal Alliance all knew that Phantom Sea Daoist had been poisoned by the Heavenly Corpse Emperor, and even her Primordial Spirit had been contaminated, with her situation worsening day by day.

However, at this very moment, Phantom Sea Daoist was glowing with health, and the look she directed at Lu Yuan carried deep gratitude:

"That is correct. Thanks to the Erhuan Pill, a divine item for dispelling poison from you, little friend, this pill has already removed more than half of the Heavenly Corpse Poison. As long as I take it every year, in no more than twenty years, this old woman will be completely healed. Your kindness to me is like a second birth; I dare not forget such great grace."

Lu Yuan did not take it to heart:

"The junior merely accidentally obtained a remnant alchemy inheritance; refining it was not too difficult. I originally held a 'try it and see' attitude, but I did not expect it to actually have an effect. It can be considered Heaven's blessing."

Phantom Sea Daoist had originally been deeply troubled by the Heavenly Corpse Poison, leading her to remain in seclusion for years and search the world, causing the strength of the Immortal Alliance to be greatly diminished.

If such important power were lost, it would directly lead to the collapse of the situation. Lu Yuan did not mind giving a helping hand; at the time, he thought his 'Boiling Stone' Supernatural Power might be useful, so after some research, he discovered the Erhuan Pill, a divine item for dispelling poison, which could restrain and remove all poisons, and the materials were all essences of spirit ores, which were relatively easy to collect.

Therefore, he tried refining a few batches and, while heading to the Immortal Alliance to attend the ceremony, sent this medicine to Phantom Sea Daoist through Jiudu Daojun, and it actually played a crucial role.

This was the reason why the other party was so grateful.

"Little friend is truly too modest."

Phantom Sea Daoist laughed instead:

"If it weren't for you, this old woman wouldn't know when I would have been able to collect that last spirit herb. If the Heavenly Corpse Poison had seeped into my Primordial Spirit before I found it, I would have had no choice but to abandon my physical body and reincarnate, and my lifelong cultivation would likely have been destroyed in an instant.

This old woman has always repaid kindness, so these past few days I have searched the treasury of the Immortal Alliance and finally found a gift of thanks that is passable."

After saying this, she waved her long sleeve, and a Dharma Artifact flew out, landing in front of Lu Yuan.

A simple, profound six-colored disk. The piece at the very top presented a world that was high above, possessing endless beauty and sacred solemnity, where the void was opened, the sun and moon revolved, the stars were brilliant, and the shadows of thousands of gods and Buddhas were faintly visible.

In a world on the upper left of the disk, thousands of fierce, sharp, and destructive killing auras were revealed, accompanied by the clashing sounds of thousands of swords and blades, tit-for-tat, not yielding an inch.

In a world on the upper right of the disk, there was the ten-thousand-foot red dust rushing into the sky, muddy, noisy, and foul-smelling, yet indescribably wonderful and intoxicating. There were village cities, farming and blacksmithing, chickens and dogs heard, marriages and separations, and the ordinary and trivial worldly life of family love.

In the world on the lower right of the disk, it seemed as if there were endless, strange, and varied creatures multiplying, whether birds or beasts, fish or insects, and there were also various flowers, plants, and trees. They died and were born, born and died, struggling to survive and constantly multiplying with indomitable will. They were constantly evolving and adapting with a kind of primitive, wild, natural tenacity. Survival of the fittest...

And at the very bottom of the disk, various resentful and negative emotions evolved into strange-looking evil ghosts of various colors, some with pierced intestines and rotten bellies, some with heads but no faces, some with bodies but no heads; endless evil ghosts waved their claws and teeth.

As for the lower left of the disk, it was the darkest, deepest, bottomless abyss-like Avici Hell, as if devouring everything.

Each of these six worlds revealed a feeling of vast emptiness and boundlessness, as if it were a world dominated by the Six Paths of Reincarnation at the beginning of its birth!

This Dharma Artifact was clearly a top-tier Dharma Treasure. Lu Yuan's gaze flickered, and before he could speak, he heard Phantom Sea Daoist laugh:

"Little friend, this is the Samsara Heavenly Disk, which was once held by a powerful Void Immortal in the ancient era. It is a top-tier Six-Tier Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure that has even birthed a tool spirit and possesses the possibility of advancing to an Immortal Artifact.

It is a pity that after the great catastrophe of the era, this Dharma Artifact suffered heavy damage, its rank fell, and the tool spirit vanished without a trace. After we discovered this treasure, we spent a full thousand years repairing it, and only managed to repair a small half of it, but even so, this treasure is enough to compare to an ordinary Six-Tier Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure.

Little friend, your Supernatural Power is astonishing, and you will surely step into the Return to Void realm in the future, but I heard that you seem to have no other Dharma Artifacts besides the Two Forms Demon-Subduing Sword given by Jiudu; it is only fitting for you to possess this treasure."

Lu Yuan's gaze moved, and he declined:

"This treasure is too precious; the junior is truly unworthy of it. Please..."

"What unworthy? It is merely a Spirit Treasure; could it compare to this old woman's life?"

Phantom Sea Daoist said in a tone that brooked no refusal:

"Take it quickly; must you really make this old woman beg you to accept it?"

Lu Yuan could only sigh and say:

"Very well, this junior will accept it."

Phantom Sea Daoist stood up immediately and laughed heartily: "That is excellent. Little friend, prepare for tomorrow's ceremony; this old woman will not disturb you further."

Having said this, her figure vanished on the spot.

Only then did Lu Yuan pick up the wheel-shaped Dharma Artifact, input his Dharma Power, and learn how to control it.

This Dharma Artifact combined offense and defense, contained a heaven-and-earth space within, and was especially adept at trapping enemies. With a single thought from him, the Six Paths would evolve into countless illusory worlds. The smaller the world, the more its lifespan was like a dream or a bubble, fleeting and brief. In almost every instant, it seemed as if thousands upon thousands of illusions were being born and dying within the Six Paths in Lu Yuan's palm. They were generated in an instant and evaporated in an instant!

The more he experimented, the more proficient he became. As he continued to unleash the power of the Dharma Artifact, everything shifted from extreme darkness and stillness to extreme chaos and agitation. Earth, water, fire, and wind surged, the Six Paths trembled, and a terrifying aura of destruction radiated outward.

Shrinking, shrinking—the wheel-sized Six Paths of Reincarnation world in Lu Yuan's palm gradually compressed to the size of a thumb.

"Not bad, not bad."

He was extremely satisfied and immediately stored it within his portable heaven-and-earth space.

The next day.

On the Immortal Platform Square, countless cultivators gathered.

The sea of clouds was ethereal, and immortal light that cleansed the heart flowed ceaselessly. From time to time, phantom images of immortal beasts surrounded by five-colored auspicious clouds emitted clear whistles, sounding like a chorus of immortal music. Petals danced across the sky, and an exotic fragrance assailed the nostrils.

Boom.

A vast and profound resonant sound suddenly rang out, as if billions of people were beating war drums simultaneously, wave after wave surging without end. The sound passed from drum to drum, from mountain to mountain, spreading across the landscape, through heaven, earth, and the human world.

In the blink of an eye, the drumbeats above the Sacred Ground shook the air and moved the heavens, visible to the naked eye. With every drumbeat, a ripple trembled and expanded every hundred zhang in the void, sweeping across the firmament; even at the edge of one's vision, the ripples continued to undulate and spread, engulfing the Great Thousand Worlds!

The myriad cultivators immediately fell silent. After waiting for a while, everyone saw countless light rays twist and mottle, like the eruption of a small meteor shower, with light raining down. Countless streams of light gathered rapidly in the blink of an eye, forming several figures of hazy, shimmering light.

There were four figures in total. Besides Jiudu Daojun, they were an old woman with silver-white hair, a middle-aged Daoist who looked like a true immortal, and an old man who appeared unremarkable, like a simple farmer.

As for these three, some caused the void to resonate, some had five-element immortal light flowing around them, and some had eyes that reflected the universe; anyone who saw them would instantly recall their past and present lives, sinking into eternal perdition, unable to find liberation.

As the four figures appeared, golden light flickered above the magnificent Immortal Palace platform, as if the Dao of Heaven were resonating, which immediately caused an uproar among the hundred thousand cultivators below.

Because they clearly recognized that the old woman beside Jiudu Daojun was none other than Phantom Sea Daoist, who had not appeared publicly in the Immortal Alliance for many years!

As for the other two, their auras were as deep as the sea; there was no need to guess that they must be Daoist Lords from the two major continents of Zhongtian Continent and Nanchan.

At this moment, looking at the dense crowd, the four Daoist Lords stood calmly with gazes that seemed to see through everything. Simultaneously, the eleven Nascent Soul Heavenly Monarchs of the Xiyanzhou Immortal Alliance appeared before the many cultivators and spoke loudly in salute:

"We pay our respects to the four Daoist Lords!"

Led by them, the hundred thousand cultivators present also bowed in utmost reverence. The sound wave swept across the four seas and eight wildernesses. Jiudu Daojun merely smiled and said:

"We may begin."

Then, a Heavenly Monarch presiding over the ceremony let their Divine Sense sweep out:

"We invite Xuanyuan Heavenly Monarch!"

Countless cultivators all felt something in their hearts and suddenly looked up.

Hum.

A seven-colored immortal light transformed into a rainbow bridge extending from the main hall of the Immortal Palace. Immediately, a figure stepped onto the rainbow bridge and was guided by it, appearing in the center of the square in an instant.

Such a grand display was a first for the Immortal Alliance, and countless cultivators were shocked in their hearts.

Lotus flowers emerged in the void. Jiudu walked forward, his voice echoing as if through the Great Thousand Worlds, and it also rang out in the depths of every cultivator's heart present:

"Today is the investiture ceremony for our Xiyanzhou Immortal Alliance's twelfth Heavenly Monarch, Xuanyuan Heavenly Monarch. Coinciding with the three-region exchange, this old man has the honor of inviting Shenxin Daojun from Zhongtian Continent and Cangxing Daojun from Nanchan to observe the ceremony, making our Sacred Ground shine with brilliance. Today—"

After a long and eloquent speech, Phantom Sea Daoist held a jade ruyi and personally descended before Lu Yuan, smiling:

"Little friend, from today on, you are..."

But at this very moment, among the four Daoist Lords, that middle-aged Daoist from Zhongtian Continent, Shenxin Daojun, suddenly looked toward a certain direction and shouted sternly:

"Audacious!"

Following his shout, square, regular, and archaic characters appeared out of thin air before him. Each one condensed into a solid form, shimmering with flowing light, rising and leaping like flames. Suddenly, the characters shot out, radiating great light, like a meteor shower raining down, surging from all directions toward a certain part of the void.

At the same time, a dignified and unquestionable majesty and power—like rules, like statutes, like ritual laws—bound the body, restricted thoughts, and imprisoned the soul. The cultivators present only had to take one look, and they were suddenly as if forcibly restrained by countless extremely harsh rules and regulations, as if carrying a heavy mountain!

Boom!

The next moment, a streak of black light like a ghost's claw erupted in the void. Wherever the light reached, all color in the world vanished. Yet, amidst the immense vibration, a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering sound erupted, like ten thousand thunders roaring in unison.

One could see countless surrounding cultivators flying backward through the void, the surging air waves rolling around them. Colorful, fierce light and baleful energy collided head-on or rubbed and agitated against each other, exploding into streaks of brilliant yet deep, eerie ripples, instantly illuminating the entire world with demonic light that flickered, twisted, and changed, as if in a nightmare abyss!

And within this abyss-like scene, an eerie figure appeared.

The figure had the appearance of a middle-aged Daoist with a refined face, but demonic light surged endlessly in his eyes. At the same time, his face seemed to change every moment; the traces of time flowed, one moment a youth, one moment middle-aged, one moment an old man, looking evil to the extreme.

As this person appeared, various death auras—some deep, some obscure, some radiant, some violent—swept out from the void. Startlingly, two more eerie, death-filled figures appeared in his wake!

Seeing these three figures, every cultivator on the Immortal Alliance side at the Nascent Soul level or above had their expressions change drastically:

"Heaven... Heavenly Corpse Emperor?!"

"The First Emperor Pei Wuyi! The Third Emperor Ouyang Bi! The Fourth Emperor Lin Wuting!"

"This!"

Not only them, but even Jiudu Daojun and Phantom Sea Daoist had their expressions change violently at this moment, and they shouted sternly:

"Activate the Absolute Immortal Demon-Slaughtering Array!"

The Absolute Immortal Demon-Slaughtering Array was a Sixth Rank formation. Once activated, it was enough to reverse yin and yang, shatter the heavens and earth, and its power could instantly kill a Daoist Lord at the Return to Void level.

The reason for activating such an array was very simple: the three figures discovered by Shenxin Daojun were the Heavenly Corpse Emperors who had brought endless disaster and nightmares to the entire cultivation world! Especially the First Emperor, Pei Wuyi, who was the very first Feathering Sect Elder to mutate into a Corpse Demon, and was now an existence at the peak of the Return to Void level!

Boom!

Within the Sacred Ground, it was already a scene of apocalypse with the heavens collapsing and the earth shattering. Countless cultivators fled in panic. Amidst the thunderous roar of billions of lightning strikes, accompanied by countless meteors falling from beyond the sky and smashing into various places, the void was covered in millions of terrifying cracks, as if it would completely shatter at any moment. Countless strands of divine light surged toward the three Heavenly Corpse Emperors.

However, the leading First Heavenly Corpse Emperor, Pei Wuyi, had his dead, silent eyes look first at Lu Yuan on the Immortal Platform, his voice hoarse, as if corroding the firmament:

"My master once said that there exists a variable in this place that even he cannot see through. Could it be you..."

As he spoke, the terrifying power of the Absolute Immortal Demon-Slaughtering Array surged and had already arrived before him.

Roar!

The next instant, led by Pei Wuyi, the three great Heavenly Corpse Emperors were like god-kings spreading death and destruction; they opened their mouths to spew, and a heaven-piercing torrent of deathly aura and destructive power erupted, with countless black radiances and fluctuations—indescribable, immeasurable, and unrecordable—sweeping outward!

Crackle!

As the powers collided, ripples began to appear in the surroundings, expanding into the void. Wherever they reached, a series of crisp sounds like shattering glass erupted, sounds so loud that even the simultaneous roar of ten thousand thunders could not mask them, and spiderweb-like invisible cracks spread through the void at the speed of light.

Following this, an immeasurable force radiated out, and the void shrouded by the Absolute Immortal Demon-Slaughtering Array suddenly buckled, twisted, and contracted amidst a strange tremor. It was as if a black hole had appeared in the void, sucking in nearby light, dust, and indeed all things; not only that, but countless void ripples, like invisible electric currents, spread wildly in all directions from this hole at the speed of light!

The heavens collapsed and the earth cracked, the void shattered, and everything was swept away; hundreds of cultivators who failed to escape in time were reduced to fly ash on the spot.

All matter within a hundred-mile radius was washed away by the power until it vanished into thin air; not even a sliver of light could be seen in the void. In the absolute darkness and silence, everything fell into a zero-degree state of termination; space-time was pierced through, all things were dissolved, and the world was left in chaos, as if nothing could continue to exist.

Clang!

The aged and withered face of Jiudu Daojun was now as sharp as a peerless divine weapon; he pressed his fingers together into a sword and pointed from afar to strike. The void silently split in two, layers of space were shredded, and a line of sword light erupting from the fingertip of Jiudu Daojun arrived in an instant, bypassing a vast stretch of space to reach the back of Pei Wuyi's head!

On the other side, Phantom Sea Daoist pointed a finger out; it was as if a vast, endless ice ocean were supported at his fingertip. A profound, distant, cold, and deathly silent aura permeated the air, as if the world could not bear its weight, and in an instant, it shrouded the heavens, the earth, and the four wild directions, freezing and locking all space-time changes.

"Die, monster!"

The other two Daoist Lords, whose cultivation and methods were in no way inferior, each unleashed their own techniques. Their Dharma Artifacts—a great seal and a light shuttle—emitted wild and fierce auras, some violent, some thick, some deathly silent... erupting with thousands of low, continuous explosions, as if containing a grand intent of life and death capable of overturning the universe and reenacting the primordial era, striking directly at the other two Heavenly Corpse Emperors!

However, facing the siege of the four Daoist Lords, the First Heavenly Corpse Emperor Pei Wuyi let out a terrifying long howl.

Endless deathly aura seemed to surge from his body, accompanied by the annihilation of earth, water, fire, and wind, as well as surging chaotic light waves. The void was twisted repeatedly as if being pulled, and all logic seemed to be swaying and on the verge of collapse, as if a terrifying existence beyond the limits of human imagination had descended upon the material world!

It was unknown what Supernatural Power he had utilized, but in an instant, he managed to barely withstand the offensive of the four Daoist Lords, while the other two Heavenly Corpse Emperors seized the opportunity to pounce toward Lu Yuan, raising their hands to grab him!

Never having expected that an existence like a Heavenly Corpse Emperor would target Lu Yuan, Jiudu and Phantom Sea Daoist were instantly seized with wild alarm, but it was already too late to rescue him.

Yet, no rescue was needed at all. The next moment, the grab from the two Heavenly Corpse Emperors, which had been corroding and twisting the void, passed right through Lu Yuan's body as if it were nothing, just like scooping the moon from the water!

It was precisely the Supernatural Power: Standing Without Shadow!

At the same time, just as the two Heavenly Corpse Emperors attacked him, Lu Yuan let out a long howl and pointed a finger. Two incredibly condensed, terrifying thunder dragons—which seemed to have accumulated thousands upon thousands of years of power, enough to blast ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers into powder—erupted and struck directly onto the bodies of the two Heavenly Corpse Emperors!

Roar!

An unprecedented, heaven-shaking scream shattered the void, forcing those two fierce and formidable Heavenly Corpse Emperors—who would make any Return to Void Virtual Immortal stand in strict battle formation—to scream and struggle as they retreated wildly through the void, as if they had suffered extremely severe wounds.

This was naturally because Lu Yuan had already seen this scene today three years ago using the 【Reverse Knowing Future】 Supernatural Power and had long been prepared.

In those three years, apart from cultivation, he had been using the 【Mastering Five Thunders】 Supernatural Power to condense Heavenly Thunder, accumulating massive power that was the natural nemesis of Corpse Demons, naturally erupting with unparalleled killing force.

Never having expected such a situation to occur, the four Daoist Lords, including Jiudu and Phantom Sea, were overjoyed. They unleashed their full strength, mobilizing the array and casting Supernatural Powers to attack the two seemingly heavily wounded Heavenly Corpse Emperors, clearly understanding the principle that it is better to break one finger than to injure ten.

However, the First Heavenly Corpse Emperor Pei Wuyi let out a giant roar; a roar like that of an ancient demon god suddenly erupted from his body. Under this roar, not only did the void solidify, but even time seemed to be frozen for an instant, causing the offensive of the four Daoist Lords to pause.

Taking this opportunity, Pei Wuyi flashed out instantly, grabbed the two heavily wounded Heavenly Corpse Emperors, and then vanished into the void in an instant.

Lu Yuan did not pursue, but instead stared at the place where the three fierce creatures had disappeared, smiling coldly:

"To think you would come looking for me first; does this mean you have also realized the threat from the dark, and therefore specifically sent the Heavenly Corpse Emperors to investigate?"

"A mere corpse of a True Immortal fallen from the Immortal Spirit World has caused such a catastrophe for this world, Lord of the Corpse Forest."

"Since that is the case, after I reach Refining Spirit into Void, I shall let you become the stepping stone for me to ascend to a higher-level world."

"Wait for me."

(End of the book)

PS: The book ends here, because it has already collapsed beyond recognition, and there is no point in continuing to write it, so let this open-ended conclusion serve as the finale.

Looking back, this book gradually collapsed from the moment the map changed until it completely fell apart. This is due to the author's lack of ability and poor planning. Honestly, I feel very sorry for the brothers who have followed the updates until now.

Therefore, having learned from the pain, the author will definitely learn from this mistake in the next book, and I hope we will meet again if fate allows.
