Chapter 538: Great Finale 18: First Year of Easy Beginning! Birth of All Things

At this moment, a flash of insight passed through the minds of all cultivators.

Even those who benefited from the old order, such as Emperor Old Ghost and Emperor Hibiscus cultivators,

were at this moment!

simultaneously, with the same thought!

They realized an era name: the First Year of Easy Beginning.

That is, the starting point where the Primordial Origin God and the Grand Beginning Young Lord jointly established the new order.

"Easy, Beginning."

Wen Yuan stared blankly, comprehending these two characters.

He realized his previous insight was correct—the black and white indeed represented the lord and the young lord.

Although he didn't know how they dared or how they managed to alter the source law in nearly an instant,

but he understood that they were truly a match made in heaven……

At least as a subordinate, he could not assist the lord in achieving such a feat.

But the young lord could. Though he appeared to rely on the lord and lacked initiative, he was actually always quite capable.

"Easy Beginning."

"Taiyi, Taichu."

Emperor Hibiscus also stared blankly, feeling it.

She felt that from now on, she and her brother Jin would be forever separated by a heavenly chasm.

It was also strange; before, she had been full of reluctance.

But at this moment, she was very calm.

Probably because when she considered, with her own thoughts, how her brother Jin would sacrifice for Wei Xi, and she guessed everything correctly.

This let her understand that the young lord, whom she had seen as having shown her extra care, actually admired the lord just as she admired him, who had always shown the lord extra care.

By putting herself in his shoes, she understood his deep affection.

She also clearly saw that he was not unfeeling toward him.

Because of this era name, it is called "Easy Beginning."

It is not the First Year of Taiyi, not the First Year of Wei Xi, nor the First Year of Tai Li.

Rather, it uses their shared divine title as the era name for the new order……

"Then let me wish you long-lasting, forever and ever."

Emperor Hibiscus's eyes held tears; her many years of infatuation were ultimately in vain.

But speaking of it, it was merely her one-sided infatuation.

In the Nine Abyss, will we never see daylight again?

That's fine; she also doesn't want to return to the past.

Now, with everything around being a strange new beginning, it's quite good.

As for Emperor Old Ghost, he let out a long sigh, "In the end, I still chose wrong."

Until this moment, he could not help but admit, and must confront his own ugly admission: he is indeed an opportunist, trying to have it both ways, ending up with nothing, which seems to be his own doing.

Unwilling?

Of course there is!

Because originally he had already come infinitely close to being right!

A little more, and he could have stood in the new Nine Heavens, still a supreme god.

But in the final moment, he still ended up with the same fate as Old Gu and company, just slightly better.

"Just one step away!"

Emperor Old Ghost never expected that this Void Lord could actually break and then rebuild! He reconstructed a more stable new order.

He merely didn't want to die, nor wanted the Emperor clan's divine faction to vanish with the Void Lord……

He asked himself, indeed there's no mistake!

But now that it's come to this, willing to accept defeat, he can't say anything, mainly because he lacks the ability to say anything.

He can only submit to the new order, and to the punishment Shen Qingli "gave" him.

"Come on, Father, let's take a look at the Nine Abyss."

Emperor Hibiscus proposed, she didn't keep urging Emperor Old Ghost not to remain obsessed.

Because she knew very well that when a person gets stuck in a rut, others' words are useless; one must figure it out oneself.

Anyway, their lifespans are eternal, and they've always been in this darkness; there's plenty of time to slowly realize the mistake, and plenty of time to slowly turn their hearts around.

No rush, the darkness is endless.

Someday, they will understand.

Even if they never understand, it's no matter; lacking ability and opportunity to cause trouble, even at their worst they won't get much worse.

And her insight made Wen Yuan glance sideways, "You're actually quite perceptive."

He didn't expect that, in the end, the one who understood most clearly was actually Emperor Hibiscus.

This girl, who had been more obsessed than anyone and utterly unreasonable, actually had an instant moment of complete clarity.

"Also thanks to the Young Lord, he really gave me no expectations."

Emperor Hibiscus chuckled self-mockingly; from the moment they said goodbye, his eyes and heart were filled with that person, and he hardly glanced at her at all.

All his words also gave her no trace of self-deceptive expectation; each time they forced her to clearly realize that he basically didn't like her at all.

"Yeah."

Wen Yuan also chuckled.

That even if born blind, one could sense that he liked his lord.

So at the moment of returning to his position, upon realizing that his Mortal Transformation clone actually had such thoughts toward his lord, he mercilessly pinched it off!

Who could be more infatuated than that young lord?

Even before the lord had not beaten the young lord to death, he had already seen it.

But the lord never seemed to have that intention; he actually enjoyed seeing that young lord suffer a setback.

'Now, looking back.'

'Actually, I too have long had different feelings toward my lord.'

'But I dare not overstep.'

'He's different; once he becomes aware, he starts to contend and grab.'

Thinking of this, Wen Yuan let out a light laugh, mixed with self-mockery and also relief.

Who could surpass Di Jin? He fears neither death, nor being neglected, nor any punishment.

And 'unscrupulous means'……

Unexpectedly, during the Mortal Transformation, he made his lord give birth to a little lord.

Such ability is not something everyone has; at least Wen Yuan does not.

Moreover, Wen Yuan also did not, at the final moment, 'choose correctly' and support her.

But this is him, Wen Yuan.

Even if I were to do it again, not knowing the outcome would be like this, he would still choose without hesitation not to let his lord fall, even knowing she lives in great misery—better dead than alive.

He, Wen Yuan, would still exert all his strength to let her live on.

Unless he dies, otherwise no matter what! He could never let her die.

Even if she is covered in wounds, he is unwilling.

That is his lord, ah; if she falls, where would he go?

So, unless he dies, he will certainly try every means to keep her alive.

'Everyone must bear the consequences of their own choices.'

Wen Yuan murmured, and at this moment he also realized a rule of the new order.

But he is unlike other beings; no matter whether he can comprehend the new order, he can never leave darkness.

Of course, he also harbors no resentment or regret, for this is Shen Qingli's punishment; he will always obey this command until his death.

'Will there be no more chaos from now on?' the old ghost emperor suddenly asked.

Wen Yuan nodded, 'Yes, there will be no more chaos, only the Nine Underworlds; nor will there be the Thirty-Three Heavens, only the reforged Nine Heavens.'

The chaos beasts within chaos all go to the Nine Underworlds; if they can obtain fortune, washing away their murky darkness, then after tribulation they have a chance to ascend to the Nine Heavens.

If they remain murky forever, they will stay eternally in the Nine Underworlds.

Between the Nine Underworlds and the Nine Heavens lies a heavenly chasm.

Only those with resolute will and steadfast heart can ever leave the Nine Underworlds.

Even those dwelling in the Nine Heavens, a single evil thought! can instantly fall into hell.

From then on, the good-and-evil system was basically sound!
