The End, Retirement from the World (Grand Finale)

Qin Hao also instantly looked towards the cultivation chamber deep within the Eternal Divine Hall, and sneered, "My good disciple, come out!"

Soon, a young man appeared.

"Hahaha, I never expected this! My dear master, you actually managed to break through the seal I set! You're truly amazing!"

The boy showed no sign of panic when looking at Qin Hao; on the contrary, he was extremely arrogant.

Qin Hao looked at his disciple, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

This young man is named Wu Di. Just as his name suggests, from childhood to adulthood, he has always been the strongest among Wu Di of the same cultivation level.

Moreover, even if he transcends the realm, he can still fight to a draw.

However, there was one exception: another super genius Qin Hao.

When they first met, he was cultivating the traditional cultivation system, and his realm was three major realms higher than Qin Hao's at that time.

But Qin Hao had already created the Twelve Palaces Cultivation System, and on this basis, he also created the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, totaling sixty-four hexagrams, which he named "I Ching".

From then on, Qin Hao could instantly understand anything he wanted to know.

Because all things in the world are composed of qi, similarly, all things have forms, and these forms have evolved from the original eight to 64.

This is what is known as the 64 hexagrams, which can reveal the secrets of the world.

With this advantage, Qin Hao could know Wu Di's moves in advance.

Therefore, the young genius, whose cultivation level was three realms higher than Qin Hao's, was defeated.

Of course, since he's a genius, even though he lost, he accepted the defeat wholeheartedly.

The two became sworn brothers after a fight.

However, Qin Hao later discovered, through various improvements, that by fusing Qi according to the rules of the 64 hexagrams, it ultimately became a new energy that was tens of millions of times stronger than pure Qi.

As a result, the gap between Qin Hao and Wu Di widened, and eventually, Wu Di decided that he would become Qin Hao's apprentice.

Qin Hao initially disagreed, thinking that since they were brothers, he would teach him if he wanted to learn.

However, Wu Di didn't think so and insisted on becoming an apprentice.

Thus, the two went from being best friends to becoming master and apprentice.

And so it went, until Qin Hao reached the pinnacle, the realm of the Ancestor of Eternal, the gap between their cultivation levels narrowed, and eventually, Wu Di also became Ancestor of Eternal.

From then on, the two sparred every day, but each time they ended in a draw.

There's no way around it; when it comes to cultivation talent, the two are about the same, except that Qin Hao has an added innovative spirit.

As time went on, Wu Di gradually became dissatisfied with Qin Hao, his master.

He even believed that Qin Hao had blocked his path to invincibility.

So they set up a series of traps to kill Qin Hao.

However, because Qin Hao was the founder of the entire cultivation system, his soul was an immortal being.

Therefore, Wu Di sealed Qin Hao in a space the size of a glass bead.

However, it was because of this action that Wu Di discovered a pattern.

That is, infinitely compressing space will eventually change both the spatial and temporal dimensions within it.

Furthermore, by following this pattern, he broke through his cultivation level one after another, and his strength grew stronger and stronger.

After learning this secret, Wu Di began to extend his evil reach to Qin Hao's disciples and relatives.

He didn't kill them all, but instead placed their souls into a compressed, tiny space.

Finally, he also discovered that even so, there were still people developing technology or cultivating themselves in this tiny universe.

Everyone knows that the ultimate goal of science is metaphysics, or spiritual cultivation.

Therefore, Wu Di arranged for two disciples to take turns guarding these tiny spaces.

If it is discovered that the prisoners inside have developed a civilization powerful enough to threaten the seal, then destroy it immediately, leaving only their souls.

Sure enough, it was a great success every time. Each time, someone in the micro-world would suddenly awaken a part of their memories and then develop civilization to its peak.

But just as they discovered they were sealed in a limited space, they were destroyed by a single slap from the disciple guarding the prison.

This process of repetition not only didn't cause any problems, but it also allowed Wu Di to discover many amazing patterns, thus breaking through the realm of the Ancestor of Eternal and becoming a being of the Dimension Ascension Realm.

After breaking through to the Dimension Ascension Realm, Wu Di, still feeling uneasy, reinforced all the seals on the small spaces once more.

After countless years, Wu Di actually broke through again using this method, eventually reaching the Great Perfection of the Dimension Ascension Realm.

But from that moment on, he made no further progress.

However, I still believe that if he continues to study human development in microscopic spaces, he can make a breakthrough.

Sure enough, he began arresting people frantically, even disciples of the Eternal Divine Church.

Because he betrayed Qin Hao, his mentality became twisted, leading him to believe that any super genius is capable of betrayal, since he himself is such a person.

Therefore, once a genius is discovered, he will kill him and eventually imprison him in a miniature space.

Furthermore, each time someone is imprisoned, it means that this miniature universe will undergo a great purge, and civilization will be destroyed.

This time it's Qin Hao's turn to be in his microcosm, because Qin Hao's universe has even developed into Twelve Palaces Cultivation System.

It's just that because it was discovered relatively late, it took so long to take action.

From the moment the powerful energy fluctuations appeared at the edge of the universe, it was already decided that Qin Hao's civilization would be wiped out once again.

The soul that was imprisoned was none other than Zhao Chenggong, who was reincarnated as Xiao Zixia's son.

Because it was during the apocalypse, Xiao Zixia hoped that her father Qin Hao, her husband Zhao Chuan, and her brother Qin Chuan could successfully prevent the end of the world from coming, so she named her Zixia...

The implication is that we will be able to successfully overcome this difficulty.

Originally, Wu Di was cultivating an advanced version of the Twelve Palaces, no longer focusing on traditional Qi, but rather on "immortality."

Strictly speaking, Wu Di is the one who cultivates immortality, and they should be called immortal cultivators.

Qin Hao can only be called a Qi cultivator, but because they originally belonged to this world, they subconsciously and naturally referred to themselves as cultivators.

Moreover, because the energy difference between "immortal" and "qi" is too great, Wu Di is very confident that no one can break his seal.

What he didn't expect was that, thanks to the peerless genius he had sent in, and with Zhao Chenggong's help, Qin Hao actually broke through to the Dimension Ascension Realm and reached a brand new "Dao" realm.

Therefore, Qin Hao broke the seal and arrived here.

"Didn't expect that, did you? I'm out now. It's time to settle our scores!"

Qin Hao spoke coldly, and then made his move.

Although Qin Hao is a level above Wu Di is using the "Immortal" level!

However, he was using energy that was trillions of times weaker, so the two were evenly matched at this moment.

This battle lasted for hundreds of years. It was only after Qin Hao gradually transformed his Qi into immortality that he was able to defeat Wu Di.

"Pfft!"

Wu Di coughed up a mouthful of blood mixed with his internal organs, looked at Qin Hao arrogantly, and laughed, "Haha, as expected of you! You actually managed to turn the tables even in dire straits. I still lost!"

Qin Hao looked at him, and a wave of emotion washed over him.

They were brothers, and in the end, they were master and disciple, but in the end, they became each other's enemies.

"Qin Hao, you're Laozi! I don't respect anyone else, but I respect you the most!"

Finally, Wu Di gave Qin Hao a thumbs up, and then committed suicide.

Moreover, since even his own soul had been Annihilation, it meant he would never have another chance to reincarnate.

Qin Hao had originally planned to preserve his soul and allow him to reincarnate, but now that opportunity was gone.

"Well!"

Qin Hao sighed as he looked at the spot, then released Xiao Zixia and the others from the spatial ring, as well as the people sealed in the other miniature spaces.

After a long period of exposure to the laws of the world, and with the help of the Blood Orchid, Xiao Zixia finally regained their spatial dimension.

"Dad (Master) (Master)!"

"Still a family," she called out to Qin Hao.

At this moment, Zhao Chenggong stared curiously at the spot where Wu Di had died, and for some reason, he felt incomparably happy.

Qin Hao glanced at him and shook his head helplessly.

"It's all over. Now, we're truly back."

Qin Hao spoke, he disappeared from the spot.

This has been a battle with Wu Di for hundreds of years, during which countless places have been destroyed.

Looking at the ravaged world beneath his feet, Qin Hao chose not to restore it, but to leave it as a memento and a warning.

As for the leaders, elders, and disciples who followed Wu Di in betraying the Eternal Divine Church, they have all become souls that have lost their memories and are now reincarnating.

Qin Hao and his family handed over the Eternal Divine Church to other disciples and retired to the mountains, never to concern themselves with worldly affairs again.

He especially lived a shameless life with his seven beautiful wives.

Meanwhile, Qin Chuan, Li Xiyao, Xiao Zixia, Zhao Chuan, Little Qilin, Chaos Pagoda, Annihilation, Divine Flame Lamp, Little Green Bottle Lvping, and Yao Xiudao also went into seclusion with Qin Hao.

However, Qin Rui, the son of Qin Chuan and Li Xiyao, and Zhao Chenggong, the son of Xiao Zixia and Zhao Chuan, are still venturing out into the world, constantly honing their skills...
