Chapter 270: Stepping into Eternity!

【Entering the legendary "Eternal Primordial Chaos" is far simpler than you imagined.】

【Under specialized control, the heaven‑shattering, earth‑destroying Pangu Great Explosion not only did not harm you, but became your booster, accurately sending the Primordial Chaos fragments into the entrance of the "Eternal Primordial Chaos"!】

【In just an instant, you arrived at this world you have been day‑and‑night longing for…】

【You couldn't tell whether you were excited or calm; in any case, at the very last critical moment, you successfully made it in!】

【"Just a little bit more……"】

【You were still a bit shaken, after all, in that previous side story you died following a piece after the Heavenly Dao reunion plate failed; this time you were lucky to react fast and slip in at the very last moment before Pangu disintegrated, otherwise you'd probably have to start over.】

【"But since I survived, that proves my guess was correct—I can indeed serve as a new anchor to secure the fate of the Eternal Primordial Chaos!"】

【You felt deeply moved: fortunately, everything went exactly as planned…】

【The Pangu Will attached to you, also dazed and seeking vitality, rejoiced: "I just knew you'd be reliable!"】

【But you didn't pay much attention to It, instead turning your head to stare intently at Jin Bing.】

【"The Eternal Primordial Chaos is already here… aren't you going to go see the Gold Heavenly Emperor?"】

【Jin Bing remained silent.】

【He actually never intended to survive at all!】

【All along he has been troubled by his identity issue; although he knows he is not the Gold Heavenly Emperor, those memories and experiences constantly remind him: he is truly…】

【He couldn't shake this self‑identity, nor find his own place: he wanted to interact with the true Supreme Purity and Mysterious Capital as a teacher‑student, and also catch up with the old troops of Mount Shouyang, sharing what he had seen and heard.】

【As the Gold Heavenly Emperor!】

【But he also knew he couldn't do those things, because the original body is the genuine article; those relationships belong to the original body, and he is merely a laughable copy—how could he contend with the original for identity…】

【Therefore, he had long decided to die in the Primordial Chaos world, rather than go to the Eternal Primordial Chaos and cause trouble for the original body.】

【Especially this time, after learning that Pangu had restricted your personal freedom, he simply stayed behind, ready to risk his life to protect you.】

【He just wanted to seek death, and in the meantime do something meaningful before dying…】

【But man proposes, heaven disposes; he really didn't expect that this big oaf Pangu actually had no intention of harming you, and even, with your help, managed to survive.】

【Pangu survived, and he survived too—this is awkward!】

【You could see his complicated thoughts, and you sighed softly: again, it's that biological dad stirring up trouble—no trouble, he insists on creating trouble, insisting on using the Gold Heavenly Emperor's true spirit to make a copy…】

【"How about this?"】

【After thinking, you earnestly told him: "No matter what, you are part of the Gold Heavenly Emperor; you should go see him."】

【"You were born because of him, and you ought to end because of him… wanting to end yourself isn't only death; you can also ask him to rewrite your memory—that also counts as an end to your life……"】

【Jin Bing was somewhat moved; your proposal is indeed highly feasible—since life originates from the original body, whether to live or die should also be left to the original body to decide……】

【Seeing his interest, you then threw out another pair of bombshells: "Earlier I once avenged you against the Gold Heavenly Emperor, punishing that biased Heavenly Dao that treats people unfairly; now that hatred has faded, the human race's destined protagonist identity has also vanished, and the great cause of equality for all beings has already pulled out the last nail."】

【"With such achievements and good deeds, don't you want to tell him in person and share it with him?"】

【The bombshell completely shattered the last shred of struggle deep within Jin Bing's heart!】

【He finally nodded.】

【"Well……"】

【The lifelong goal and ideal of the original protagonist, achieved through hard struggle, naturally calls for a celebration with him!】

【……】

【Having settled Jin Bing's final concern, you need not linger any longer in the fragment world.】

【In a flash, you and Jin Bing stepped out of the cramped fragment world, hearts fluttering with anticipation and excitement, officially stepping into the long‑yearned‑for Eternal Primordial Chaos…】

【What was the Primordial Chaos world like before the Age of Dharma Decline?】

【Since childhood, listening to your parents' stories, you have countless times fantasized about that era: heavenly emperors waging war, mighty beings dueling, the Heavenly Court governing the world, saints spreading teachings.】

【The world teems with countless sentient beings—demons, humans, Wu Clan… all kinds of ensouled life, collectively called the myriad spirits; although they have mutual conflicts, under the Heavenly Court's diligent governance different peoples can still coexist, and the world is far from monotonous.】

【Causing harm and breaking the law are punished by heavenly officials; cultivating immortality and the Dao have esteemed masters to guide the way.】

【Immortal cultivators need not eat people, for the heavens and earth possess endless spiritual qi!】

【Immortal herbs and elixirs, earthly treasures—everything you could wish for is available!】

【If a sentient being dies accidentally, it can still be reborn through Hou Tu's reincarnation, and thus set foot once more on the path to immortality and the Dao…】

【All this is merely the scene of your fantasies; unfortunately you were born in the Age of Dharma Decline, with no chance to witness the beings that exist only in myth and legend, so naturally you yearn for them.】

【Now you have finally arrived at the Eternal Primordial Chaos; this world, opened up by the Six Saints, is exactly the same as the mythical era!】

【You walk through it, stunned, continually filling the gaps in your meager knowledge…】

【Here it is just as you imagined—and even better!】

【The heavens and earth are boundless; wherever you look, immortal herbs and elixirs grow, all manner of spiritual things—everything you could wish for.】

【You're like a naive kid who's never seen the world—everything amazes you, you want to reach out and touch it all, because only when you actually feel it can you dare believe it's real.】

【Jin Bing, however, wasn't much moved by these things, for he remembers everything—the mythical era is all in his mind.】【Still, he feels a fair amount of emotion……】

【Not long after, you encountered the Saints.】

【They came especially to find you.】

【Eight Saints, seven of them gazing at you with strange looks, as if you were some rare treasure; only one Saint wore a complex expression—he was Minghe.】

【"Let's talk, no matter what."】

【The Dao Ancestor stood before the Saints, smiling as he spoke to you.】

【……】

【Facing the Saints' inquiry, you naturally answered respectfully, holding back nothing, speaking fully—no trace remained of the earlier arrogance of swinging at Saints…】

【After all, the past is past, the present is present—those who understand the situation are the outstanding…】

【By now you have nothing left to conceal; apart from not being able to mention your glorious record of elbow‑striking Saints, you truthfully reveal all other secrets about yourself.】

【This isn't just because you're timid and fearful; more importantly, you know: you yourself are completely a treasure lump!】

The more clearly and thoroughly you explain your crucial role as an anchor in the eternal primordial chaos, the more the sages will value you, and the higher your future safety factor will be. This concerns the survival of heaven and earth; no one will slight your role.

You know that this is the final step to perfect completion, and also the most crucial step. As long as you gain the trust of all the sages, it's as if you have a golden pardon; no matter what happens later, they will protect your life at once.

Your life is the life of heaven and earth!

After hearing this, the sages all fell into thoughtful silence.

In the end you got your wish and received the joint guarantee of all the sages—this wasn't difficult, because the cards are all in your hand; you are essentially an atomic bomb!

In this situation, if they disagreed, that would truly be strange.

The sages dispersed, each with their own thoughts: some were surprised, some were pondering the reasoning, and others wore blank expressions, as if they had anticipated this.

Of course, none of this affects your arrival at a perfect ending!

……

After seeing off the sages, Xue Xuan stood on the boundless grassland, took a deep breath, and felt that the endless primordial spiritual Qi was especially fragrant.

No wonder it's the eternal primordial chaos! The refreshed Xue Xuan showed the most carefree smile he'd had in three lifetimes.

Without the man‑eating cultivation and the apocalypse, his long‑gloomy mood finally welcomed warm sunshine: he no longer had to bear people's lives.

Beside him, Jin Bing was also seeing him smile so brightly for the first time, and for a moment he was stunned: this extremist who only knew slaughter, slaughter, slaughter could also smile so brightly? After his stupor, Jin Bing suddenly realized: the peerless demon who slaughtered endless beings before him was, in essence, always a kind‑hearted person intending to save the world.

His demonic nature was merely a layer of mask forged from his unique environment and experiences; now he no longer needs to wear that mask.

The perfect ending is not only the perfection of the Asura clan, nor only the perfection of the eternal primordial chaos, but also the perfection of the protagonist.

"Right!"

Xue Xuan suddenly slapped his hand: "There's still one thing!"

"What's up?"

Jin Bing asked curiously.

Xue Xuan smiled and told him: "It's time to take you to see the Golden Heaven Emperor!"

"I..."

Upon mentioning his true form, even though Jin Bing had already braced himself mentally, he couldn't help hesitating again.

"Don't mention me! Come with me!"

The jubilant Xue Xuan grabbed the hesitating Jin Bing, without further ado, rode a golden‑immortal escape light and flew toward the Eastern Sea!

……

Meanwhile, the retired Heavenly Emperor, who was living out his years in the Golden Dragon King's Palace in the Eastern Sea, suddenly felt something and became a bit dazed.

"Brother Bing, what's wrong?"

The dimwitted elder brother Jin Ding asked him curiously.

"Oh... nothing."

Jin Bing chuckled: "I'm afraid I'll have to work a bit today."

Huh? Jin Ding scratched his head, "Brother Bing has been retired and off duty for so many years—does he still have to work? Could it be that some big shot is coming?"

"Well... sort of, but not really."

Jin Bing slowly rose from the recliner and said seriously:

"Brother, help me knead some dough; I'll go chop the meat filling..."

"Huh? What's that for?"

"Make dumplings!"
