Dunhuang, looking dazed, said, "The aura of the Light Fiend has disappeared. It seems he has failed. Next, it's our turn."
Perhaps this is our fate.
They squandered a winning hand.
"In the end, it cost everyone their lives."
"But why can't Human Race be in a state of trance?"
"Why... why can't we let Human Race see even a glimmer of hope, Dawn, when we've already come this far?"
Yan Qing pursed her lips, remaining silent. Even the wings behind her seemed to dim slightly. This wasn't a fairy tale world where heroes would appear to save the day when the world was about to end; that was just a fantasy to fool children...
But is there really any hope left for Human Race?
The sky was filled with Eerie Monsters... Even if the Eerie Lord didn't intervene, these Eerie Monsters would descend from the sky, and their cities would instantly turn to dust.
At that moment, a detached voice echoed through the heavens and earth.
"Human Race, Eerie Race, hear this."
My name is Li Chen.
"And he is also your current enemy, whom you call the Eerie Lord... Perhaps you think I am cruel and bloodthirsty, that I am the epitome of evil, but have you ever considered how your world came to be?"
"Where did the Human Race and the Eerie Race come from?"
"You don't know... your so-called worldview and history are all false... and I have cleansed all living beings, reducing them to nothing."
"This is just the beginning, not the end."
The End begun.
Yan Qing, Dunhuang, Yu Qingnian, and others had already stopped, and even the Evil Cult had formed a united front.
Yu Qingnian gazed at that figure, seemingly lost in thought, before transforming into a bolt of lightning and disappearing.
The Evil Cult merely glanced at Yan Qing and the others before quickly distancing themselves and disappearing into the void.
As for the group, they thought Li Chen was coming to kill them, but after waiting for a long time, nothing happened. Then the sky began to darken, eventually merging into extreme blackness, which began to spread.
Wangyang asked in surprise, "This is the End?"
"Does the Eerie Lord intend to devour the entire world?"
The others remained silent. It was quite possible, but now it didn't really matter if Li Chen didn't kill them. He wanted to destroy the world, and where could they possibly escape to?
Even if they manage to escape this planet, without the strength of the God Realm, how can they survive among those monsters in the void?
Dunhuang shook his head and sighed before leaving.
Perhaps they're going to enjoy their final moments.
The others all made the same choice.
Now that the world is ending, what meaning do they seek?
All that remains are those fleeting years...
At this moment, Li Chen had already appeared in a dungeon and slowly walked into its depths.
The surrounding prisoners died almost before they even saw him; this was the will of an invisible god.
Li Chen walked to the door of a room, concealed his aura, and slowly pushed the door open.
"Who?" a hoarse voice rang out.
Li Chen smiled and said, "Me."
Lying on the bed, Su Zhe looked haggard and stared at Li Chen in disbelief, exclaiming, "Chen-ge? What brings you here?"
"Didn't I just hear you say you were going to destroy the world? Was it all just a hoax?"
It seemed like a long time had passed, and Su Zhe couldn't hide his surprise and joy. However, his mind was also working at lightning speed, because he knew quite a bit about the outside world. It was absolutely true that Chen-ge wanted to destroy the world, and it was even extremely real.
But why is he here?
Did they just come to see me, or were they arrested?
But he quickly dismissed the word "capture," after all, what kind of monster was Li Chen? Who could possibly capture him, let alone imprison him in this place?
Then there's only one explanation.
Su Zhe asked tremblingly, "Chen-ge... are all the people outside dead?" This was the ending he had imagined; although exaggerated, it was very likely true.
Everyone outside is dead.
That's why Li Chen was able to walk up to him unharmed.
Li Chen shook his head, and with a flick of his finger, two pitch-black chairs appeared in the room.
The flickering flame.
The reflection shone on their faces...
It was as if time had flowed back to many years ago.
Su Zhe broke the silence first, his tone complex as he said, "Chen-ge, why did you do this? I don't think this world should be destroyed, and Human Race shouldn't perish..."
Li Chen shook his head again and said softly, "Baozi, you haven't seen through this world, and neither have I. I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do. My time is running out."
Su Zhe was stunned. He didn't know what Li Chen meant by "not much time," but it most likely meant death...
The two remained silent for a long time...
However, without Su Zhe noticing, a hint of struggle flashed across Li Chen's face, but he quickly regained his composure.
Suddenly, Li Chen stood up and said, "Baozi, life is inherently difficult. Everyone's life experiences are different, and everyone's life is even more different. We are all struggling, but now I have taken the first step to break free from the cage."
"I'll wait for you outside the wall."
"Run south, where I'll leave behind a place of regret."
You only have ten years to survive.
In an instant, Li Chen's figure vanished, leaving only the echo of his retreating figure. Su Zhe was still in a daze.
"A place of regret?"
"Outside the wall? Ten years?"
Su Zhe's CPU is about to burn out, where is this?
Suddenly it dawned on him: wasn't the south the very opposite direction to Human Race —the City of Sin?
Where is the place of regret?
So what exactly is Chen-ge doing right now?
In an instant, Su Zhe rushed out of the cell. Once outside, the blinding light made him unable to open his eyes, but then he was stunned. Countless people were running, some even running for their lives.
What exactly happened?
Has Eerie Monsters invaded?
Until, a series of eerie sounds came from the sky.
A thick, Black Mist swept in.
Su Zhe..."
And then he disappeared from Su Zhe's place.
Li Chen's figure appeared at the Canglan Academy this time. Countless students here are still unaware of the situation outside, but they know his name.
After all, I graduated from this academy.
He sensed that Su Xian was located here.
Throughout the journey, under the terrified and fearful gazes of the trainees, he walked calmly until he reached a bridge, seemingly waiting for someone to arrive.
A moment later...
Several familiar figures descended through the air.
As always, they were high-profile, but they were covered in blood, as if they had just gone through a life-or-death battle.
Li Chen's gaze remained calm as he met Su Xian's angry eyes.
"You've come."
