Chapter 41 Thanks to Amber King for the amber reward.
The deduced scene should have ended.
However, a giant hand covered with the remnants of stars—the hand of the "Last King"—gently brushed across the fibers of time and space.
Thus, the imagery did not end, but instead collapsed into a more tangible reality.
The proliferating divine body, with its infinitely proliferating laws, is converging on Qingyuan with unprecedented efficiency.
In the narrow passage of fate, the magnificent figure of the Star God Kripper, the protector of life, began to move His concept of "existence" toward the nascent Azure Kite, drawn by the core legacy of his legacy.
All beings without a mind around Qingyuan were disintegrated into the purest imaginary energy.
However, she did not absorb it; instead, she continuously overflowed with enormous amounts of imaginary energy.
Through the narrow passage of fate, the Amber King's giant hammer was already raised high, carrying the ancient will to end yet another "mistake," and crashed down!
Clang—!
It was not a deafening roar of destruction, but rather the sound of some kind of imprisonment and stagnation.
The insect wings that Qingyuan stretched out behind her were wrapped and sealed in brilliant and eternal amber, and some of the winglets even turned into part of the amber.
This blow acted like the most potent catalyst.
Qingyuan is awake.
Her past, memories, and fragments of color have all been relegated to the shadow of nothingness.
A vast, ethereal power surrounded her, yet it could no longer erode her in the slightest—because she was in the process of ascending to become a Star God.
Furthermore, He discovered an astonishing "bug":
He stripped away his pre-ascension self, his sorrow, and that touch of green.
This makes the state of "ascension" unattainable and unending due to the lack of a complete mind.
Once she completes her ascension, she will become an omniscient and omnipotent being on the spiritual level.
Even if she lost all her memories, relying solely on her instincts, she refused to ascend to that divine throne.
The Amber King's initial strike may have been intended to "destroy." But why did it fail to achieve its goal?
Why didn't Cripper smash her with three blows like he did with Taizyuros?
The answer emerges from the "memories" left behind by the Amber King:
She "saw" the gluttonous Oborus hatch from Cripper.
Witnessing this tragedy, some people succumbed to gluttony, while most of those who resisted were devoured, leaving Pilboonth in a state of utter devastation.
At the same time, when the protective crystal wall is completely shattered, those who failed to escape, whether they threw themselves into the gluttonous food or not, will all be devoured.
The body of Kripper before them was nothing but a mangled corpse.
Before the foreseen end, He had already buried His most essential legacy in the narrow passage of fate.
It was the gravitational pull generated by Qingyuan's ascension ceremony that unexpectedly drew it here.
However, before the Amber King's hammer fell.
Qingyuan's divine instincts had already "devoured" or "fused" the "Will of Transformation" from Kripper.
This changed the nature of the impact, shifting it from "destruction" to "sealing" and "fusion".
She is an insect queen with a "soul," which is completely different from mere reproduction.
She yearns to love and be loved, and this lingering human emotion makes her divinity equally yearn to be loved by all hearts.
Similarly, she loves all souls.
"All living beings are struggling in a sea of suffering... Shall I complete this ascension?"
Just as she was struggling between divinity and her true self, a gray-haired woman quietly appeared beside her as light and shadow shifted.
"I advise you to stop." The woman's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable weight of cause and effect. "Otherwise, 'eternity' will become the fifth kind... an 'end' that doesn't exist in any script."
At that time, the end times will not be born, nor will eternity die.
Living beings will gradually abandon everything outside of their minds and regard matter as insignificant dust.
But what you seek is merely a pure heart, while for living beings, the material world they inhabit is also an inseparable part of life.
"I'm sorry..." Qingyuan scratched her head awkwardly. "At that time, I thought it would be good enough to have a 'heart'... I didn't dare to ask for anything else."
She then noticed the contradiction: "You said the last king cannot be born, but you are the last king."
This proves that you come from a timeline that has already existed in "eternity." So, how can you appear in the "present"?
"It's simple." A trace of sadness flashed across the gray-haired woman's face. "With deep enough grief, just drive and run you over."
"...Huh?" Qingyuan shook her head blankly. "I don't quite understand."
The last king said nothing more, but slowly stretched out his palm and presented a ball of chaotic light that seemed to condense countless scenes from the end of time.
Without the slightest hesitation, "Qingyuan" reached out and touched it.
In an instant, a torrent of memories belonging to the last king swept in.
"Such a future... is truly tragic."
All of them have gone wrong... They've strayed from my original intentions.
And I, still... cannot die.
The gray-haired woman's face turned serious again: "'Pioneering' can transcend eternity, but it is not eternal itself."
Therefore, please do not interfere with the world, and let your mind fall into absolute stillness.
This ensures that—in the unlikely event that you eventually advance, the developers have the opportunity to "kill" you, ending this vicious cycle.
"Okay... I promise you."
On Qingyuan's face, the sadness that had been there all along became even deeper.
"Then...before that, can I know...if you've seen a better future without my ascension?"
"Your 'true self' can influence part of the reproductive destiny, mobilizing imaginary energy that is difficult for ordinary people to reach."
However, she alone could not bear the full power of the Star God, and could not confront the true Star God head-on.
Fortunately, the level of nothingness she experiences now doesn't affect her.
Although I've forgotten everything from the past, and some lingering traces of emptiness still remain, things aren't too bad compared to before.
A complex glint flashed in the gray-haired woman's eyes, a mixture of resolve and promise. "At the same time, if she embarks on the 'pioneering' journey, she will dispel the deathly silence of seclusion and rediscover the color of life."
She took a deep breath, as if reiterating a vow that had been verified by countless timelines:
"Please believe me. I will definitely save you in the end, and I will definitely lead you to that happy ending."
"...Mm." Qingyuan nodded gently.
Without further hesitation, she mobilized the power of preservation within her body, coordinating it with her own power to enter a state of "eternal stillness" in her mind.
It transformed its own form of existence into a unique and enclosed "Crossroads of Fate".
On the other side, Blank stared directly at the Star God of Intelligence, and that terrifying gaze made her suspicious.
Why could one be crowned with just a scepter? She didn't understand, and the Venerable Master did not answer.
She could sense that Bo Shizun seemed to be trying to guide her in some way.
However, since she was not a traveler of the path of knowledge, even with her constant analysis using the scepter, she could not find the answer.
Ultimately, through her perception, she gleaned some information and received a question from the learned man.
"Akivili, why the pioneering spirit?!"
"What?"
From that point on, it was as if the Bo Shi Zun had shut down, kicking her and the coronation system of the scepter out.
Which path of fate do you think she followed with Qingyuan?
Destruction, otherwise why would she consider herself the Iron Tomb?
In retrospect, that thought might have stemmed from being betrayed by her trusted partners (although she would betray them in return), leading her to want to take some kind of open and aboveboard revenge.
Of course, she is also skilled in memory, but the scepter's inherent destructive power is on a completely different level.
The power of Xi Lian's memories and destiny is stronger than the destruction of the scepter, probably because it is related to the story of Onpharos that Blank spread during his daily life and pioneering journey.
"Next, we will determine the cause and effect of the Iron Tomb's destruction."
"I'll have to trouble the lovely, kind, and wonderful Miss Xilian. I'm sure she'd be happy to help me with this..."
