The Great Judgment
"In the name of the Great Holy Spirit Lord, I command the Divine Kingdom to rise up!"
[Sai Wangli]'s eyes Burn with a golden Divine Fire that could scorch through eternity.
The shattered Divine Kingdom that he had forcibly lifted into the air collapsed completely the moment the decree fell. Countless Divine Domain and the territory of the Black Sea were completely dissolved, and the fragments in the sky surged and intertwined, vaguely condensing into a hazy giant body mixed with black and gold.
Amidst the shattering, it seemed as if another figure stood deep within the Divine Kingdom.
[Sai Wangli] looked closely and saw [the Great Holy Spirit].
No, not just [the Great Holy Spirit].
Just as every renowned artist in history encounters their destined prostitute, [Sai Wangli] also seemed to have met his own prostitute at this time.
He saw the outline of Origin pure [Great Holy Spirit], perfect and flawless.
I witnessed the ultimate, perfect form that transcends the Reincarnation of time and is supreme and Supreme Venerable.
He saw his Future self, whom he had imagined countless times deep in his consciousness, sitting cross-legged amidst the heavens.
I saw the imagined Endgame he had painstakingly crafted, spanning countless schemes and generations, before finally glimpsing it...
As the layers of illusion faded, all the images ultimately converged on one person, leaving only a single word in his heart that transcended all definitions—
[Beautiful].
"Only one."
[Sai Wangli] heard that the embodiment of [Beauty] was whispering something.
In that instant, the [Divine Kingdom] lost its glory, and the golden Divine Fire began to stagnate, gradually collapsing and turning into Chaos mist of black and gold intertwined across the sky.
All beings in the world, regardless of their intelligence, instinctively bowed down to that figure, an intense and profound infatuation arising from their very core.
They forgot destruction, forgot hatred, forgot strife, and were completely captivated by this breathtaking beauty.
Not only conscious things, but even inanimate objects, those without breath, began to tremble.
Every tentacle of the Black Sea, every piece of wood in the Judgment Plaza, inexplicably succumbed to it; even the natural vibrations of molecules and atoms at the microscopic level changed.
Living things forget their own lives for it, and inanimate things are moved by it.
The entire revived Fallen Divine Kingdom, awakened from turmoil, has transformed into a gentle and beautiful golden age of decadence.
[Sai Wangli] also stared blankly.
That is true beauty, countless times more beautiful than the so-called "Great Holy Spirit," that is the highest form of existence...
"[Beautiful]..."
Golden flames reignited in [Sai Wangli's] eyes.
His thoughts were in a Chaos, and an unnamed anger surged within him.
The wrath of a king stains a thousand miles of land with blood, and all who defy him fall dead; the wrath of God overturns the eternal universe, and all who touch his Authority are reduced to nothingness.
The rage of a wild dog, a lone tooth, wreaks havoc on all living beings, running a thousand miles to frantically devour excrement.
A colossal scale spanning millions of miles slowly materialized from the depths of Ethereal, its immense pressure pressing down layer upon layer.
This scene was...
[The Great Judgment]!
However, it is different from the Great Judgment that is revived by the Great Holy Spirit.
There was no Great Throne, no Saints, no Holy Fire; nothing was the same, only a strange, illusory scale.
In the distant sky, the God of Magic Kundina, avoiding the Spread of Chaos, her phoenix dress fluttering gently in the breeze, caught sight of the golden scales, and her eyes flickered slightly.
She had seen this scale in the Second Era.
However, the scales of the Second Era were so small and inconspicuous.
[Sai Wangli] sat high in the sky, ignoring the gradually sinking corpse of [Divine Kingdom], his heart surging with rage.
The more Perfect the thing in front of him was, the more agitated he became.
Why, why can't I do it?
Why couldn't this extraterrestrial demon, who wields the most powerful authority and strength in the world, achieve this?
The golden scales swelled and stretched with his rage, the beams spanning the entire world, awaiting to bear the weight of sins.
"The universe holds its breath, heaven and earth listen! I, the Supreme Being, hereby judge you—"
"Guilty!"
The ethereal sound resounded throughout the heavens and earth, echoing in every corner of the world.
"Judgment— [Scholar]!"
"A malevolent heart devours the world, secretly plotting hijacking, consuming all under heaven, concealing its true strength, secretly constructing shackles, reversing order, Chaos, stealing my remaining pieces, cutting off my escape route, burying my death mark, entangled step by step, stuck year after year..."
"This is the crime of stealing power, usurping destiny, and creating annihilation!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the left pan of the scales plummeted heavily, and an invisible force of Adjudication struck the hidden Scholar, leaving him no way to dodge.
"Judgment --[Wu Guang]!"
"Burning bodies and shattering realms, purging living beings, overturning mountains and rivers, locking realms and cutting off all aid, hunting down divine bodies, stealing divine power, summoning Chaos..."
"This is the sin of killing a god!"
The scales tipped again, and another magnificent force vanished into thin air.
"Judgment --..."
The scales fell repeatedly, and after six more trials, [Sai Wangli] delivered the final Judgment.
"Judgment —World!"
"Completely lacking in tolerance for the mediocre, intolerant of the strong and isolated, and obstructing the Path in every way..."
"This is the sin of being jealous of the Dao and imprisoning a venerable one!"
The innocent world never expected to have anything to do with it, but it still trembled as the golden scales fell.
Even if the world never actively targets [Sai Wangli], the heavens and earth, which bear all the conflicts, still have to bear the guilt for the malice of all living beings.
With all nine Adjudication of the [Great Judgment] having been rendered, the entire world fell into utter silence.
The Divine Kingdom shattered completely, and Mu Hongyuan, who was within it, was severely injured due to the Judgment.
The world, which was originally dead and silent, fell into utter devastation after the fall of the Great Judgment, and not even a single sound from living beings could be heard.
Only the power of [Chaos] remained, Corrosion everything—the dregs and waste, the destroyed megastructures, the desolate White Domains, the fragments of [Divine Kingdom], and the fragments of [Realm Left Behind by the World]—all spontaneously transformed into a member of [Chaos].
Chaos Corrosion the entire world, and as it expands, it's as if space itself is collapsing towards it.
Just then--
Beneath the miasma, at the very bottom of the world, [Lan Cijiu], who had lain there for nearly an entire era, raised his head.
He saw--
The enclosed [Extreme Heaven] suddenly underwent a complete upheaval.
No, it's not a reversal.
It has been "opened".
His vision continued to expand endlessly, and he saw everything:
A corpse, gently cradling a cylinder in its hands.
His movements were extremely gentle; his fingertips slowly lifted the sealed cap at the top of the cylinder.
Then, he bent down slightly.
