~3 min read 598 words

Demon Ending...

Zhang Jie muttered to himself, this time, did he truly clear it?

It should count, I guess.

Zhang Jie leaned against his own timeline, squinting.

I'm a bit tired....

His obsession gradually dissipated, Zhang Jie closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

It's fine, just like this, anyway there's another me to take over, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter...

Anyway, my journey will never end; there will definitely be a me who finds the perfect solution to all this.

It's just.... I'm just a bit unwilling....

There are still many things he cannot speak of; if he could, he really wants to record everything of his ten loops and pass it on to the next him.

I believe the previous him also thought this before he concluded himself.

I really want to pinch Qi Yu's insect limbs again, Lei Na's hair feels great too.

But his journey is far from over.

Whenever he closed his eyes, the faces of Qi Yu and the others kept appearing before him, smiling or crying, calling his name.

He sacrificed everything, and this ending he gained—is it really worth it?

Zhang Jie furrowed his brow, his thoughts clashing in his mind, his figure flickering here and there, on the verge of collapsing.

"You feel you've reached your limit, your obsession is wavering, is this simulation over now?"

"At this moment, a faint voice echoes in your mind, seeming distant yet right by your ear."

"That is some mysterious existence..."

""Fate has long been decided; mortals, struggling is useless, why bother seeking trouble?""

"A certain mysterious existence mumbled, his way of speaking strange, but you didn't pay attention to these details."

"Moreover, the object of His speech seems not only you, but all Zhang Jies, all of yourselves struggling in this spacetime journey."

"....."

Zhang Jie, hearing that voice, opened his eyes; in an instant, he seemed to span countless ages and space, seeing that towering existence.

He couldn't see the other's face clearly, but just that glance was enough to confirm that the being was deeply linked to the two words 'fate'.

"If fate cannot be changed, then the existence of so many mes and so many timelines is inherently a paradox."

"......."

He emitted a long silence, eventually turning into a helpless sigh.

"Perhaps." He said.

"The trajectory of fate is certain for anyone."

But fate does not have only one trajectory.

A Zhang Jie spoke up.

Fate is in my hands, in me, constantly changing in our hands.

Could this also be predetermined?

"What you persist in is likewise a part of what is predetermined; you haven't changed anything—everything was already decided when your true self chose those life options."

"You always want to grasp everything, but you cannot; you are greedy, ignorant, and never realize that every fate has a price."

"You always strive for that unattainable future, that future where everyone laughs and pops champagne—you cannot achieve it, nor can I."

The price of fate?

Zhang Jie chewed on these words slowly; in his mind, it seemed something long neglected kept welling up endlessly.

"Mortal, I have seen the future you have already reached; congratulations, you are not alone."

And at this moment, Zhang Jie finally recalled what he had once ignored.

That prophecy! That prophecy about the Legendary Investigator!!!

The Legendary Investigator will finally be devoured of all he does not cherish!

Afterward, the world will welcome his true ending!!!

"..."

Then I'll just try again!

This is the clue, also Zhang Jie's choice, and moreover, the sole answer!

Eleventh Loop!

Open!!!
