He Wei Ni Ya's Final Chapter (5K)

The first rays of dawn finally dispelled the darkness and shone upon the earth.

There was a gentle knock on the door.

"Miss He Wei Ni Ya, it's time."

The servant standing outside the door said respectfully.

The door was opened.

The servant was about to bow when he caught a glimpse of He Wei Ni Ya's face out of the corner of his eye and was momentarily stunned.

Because He Wei Ni Ya only has one eye open, and the other eye has a conspicuous scar.

Even though it had been treated, the bloodstains were still visible.

"Miss He Wei Ni Ya? What's this...?"

"I am ready."

He Wei Ni Ya responded calmly, but her voice was unusually hoarse, as if she hadn't spoken in a long time, "Lead the way."

Seeing that He Wei Ni Ya had said this, the servants dared not ask any further questions and knelt down on the ground.

"The road has been paved for you," the servant said, pressing his head against He Wei Ni Ya's feet. "Everyone is waiting for you."

He Wei Ni Ya nodded slightly, but instead of leaving immediately, she turned around and looked at the windowsill of the room.

The last owl was tilting its head and looking at her. When she nodded slightly, it immediately picked up the small, sealed box by the window, fluttered into the sky, and quickly disappeared from sight.

"Goodbye," He Wei Ni Ya said softly, in a voice only she could hear, "Mr. Visas."

Having said that, she turned around and stepped onto the path that had been prepared for her, heading towards the magnificent and majestic Holy Light.

The last piece of Inner Melody has ended.

The entire Holy Mountain was eerily quiet, as if no one was there.

But ironically, both sides of the road leading to the Grand Ceremony were lined with kneeling people.

They knelt silently, as if they were already dead, as if they were eternal musical notes, or as piano keys waiting for the player to play them.

In short, they were silent; the only sound along the entire holy road was He Wei Ni Ya's own footsteps, and even the wind and snow seemed to stand still.

Everything paused for her, everything knelt before her, waiting for her to ascend the final step of the sacred path.

He Wei Ni Ya arrived at the Seven Sound Holy Temple.

She saw Ulysses, Ulysses was already waiting in the center of the temple, standing quietly in the Holy Light.

At least for this moment, he was like the Lord of Holy Sound.

This reminded He Wei Ni Ya of her last conversation with Bai Wei before she cut off her left eye.

"Do you really think you can succeed in fighting against gods with a mortal body, He Wei Ni Ya?"

He Wei Ni Ya did not speak.

And so they stepped into the Holy Light.

The owl flapped its wings vigorously in the cold wind.

It received its master's instruction to take the sealed box out of the academy and into another person's hands as quickly as possible.

But at that moment, the box began to shake slightly, as if it contained something alive.

The owl tilted its head, a great look of confusion flashing in its small eyes.

However, as a musician, the owl is far more intelligent than its kind. Even if there is something strange in the box, it will still deliver the box safely to its destination.

This is its confidence.

But the box's strange behavior didn't stop; instead, it grew larger and larger until it quickly became uncontrollable.

It lowered its head again.

Then I saw an invisible hand reach out from the box.

Ulysses, who had been resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened them and looked at He Wei Ni Ya was now standing in front of him.

Naturally, his gaze was first drawn to He Wei Ni Ya's empty left eye, but he didn't linger there for long, nor did he ask what was going on like the previous servant had. He simply chuckled and said, "I've heard that injuries and pain always inspire musicians to create more in adversity... It seems you haven't been idle these past few days, He Wei Ni Ya."

He Wei Ni Ya didn't immediately pay attention to Ulysses, but instead raised her head and looked up at the Holy Light that pierced the sky.

She felt it the moment she stepped into that Holy Light.

That sacred power that compels one to kneel in worship.

But besides the sacred feeling, there was also a strange sensation—excitement.

Or rather, joy.

So much so that even the dust particles floating in the air seemed to dance in this Holy Light.

"It seems you have also felt the Lord's joy," Ulysses said with a light laugh. "The Lord has seen your notes... golden score, golden sound, ah, the Lord can no longer wait."

Perhaps to verify Ulysses's words, He Wei Ni Ya suddenly felt a strange sensation in her body.

It was as if an invisible hand had pierced through her clothes and gently caressed her body from head to toe.

Her body showed no aversion whatsoever, and the notes bound by the score sounded as light and melodious as plucked piano keys.

"The Lord is playing you, He Wei Ni Ya," Ulysses said with a smile. "He really...likes you."

He Wei Ni Ya raised her head slightly.

But this was not of her own volition; rather, it was an invisible hand, hidden in the Holy Light, that gently lifted her chin.

Although she couldn't see anything, she still sensed it.

The Lord of Holy Sound is admiring her.

"The Lord really likes you."

Ulysses repeated himself, a hint of regret in his voice, but it quickly vanished. He closed his eyes, holding his cane, as if listening to something.

After a while, he opened his eyes again, his smile widening.

"The Lord told me that no matter how this Final Chapter ends, He will give you a special reward," Ulysses said. "He Wei Ni Ya, the Lord really likes you."

The third repetition.

But He Wei Ni Ya's expression remained largely unchanged. After listening quietly to everything, she asked, "How should we begin?"

"It seems you're just as eager, He Wei Ni Ya." Ulysses smiled and extended his hand. "If you're ready, then do as I do and seize that Holy Light."

He Wei Ni Ya also extended her hand.

Within that golden Holy Light, an invisible scepter rapidly condensed and coalesced, then landed in He Wei Ni Ya's palm.

He Wei Ni Ya slowly grasped the scepter.

In an instant, a strange feeling welled up in my heart.

Her perspective is constantly expanding, ever expanding.

Before her was no longer the smiling Ulysses, no longer the Holy Light and the Seven Sound Holy Temple, but the entire academy, the entire Holy Mountain.

Then it extends to... the entire Holy Sound.

She saw the kneeling musicians outside the academy, and the prostrate male and Breeding Female Breeding Male the Seed Zone.

Their notes are both ethereal and clear at this moment.

"Let the Final Chapter begin, He Wei Ni Ya."

Ulysses' voice seemed to come from the distant horizon.

"The Lord will spread your music throughout the Holy Sound."

He Wei Ni Ya gently closed her only remaining eye.

The moment has finally arrived.

Since that's the case,

Then...

The wind blew the long robe.

The musical notes beneath the long robes lit up one after another.

Let's give the Holy Sound one last song.

The Final Chapter has begun.

In the basement of the Seven Sound Holy Temple, Maggie also heard the prelude to the Final Chapter.

But Maggie didn't listen; she had her own things to do.

"It's time." She turned to look at the musicians behind her. "After He Wei Ni Ya's performance, it will be Principal Ulysses' turn. It's time for us to begin our awakening."

Behind them was a male body that had been sealed away for a long time.

His body is also adorned with the ultimate in sound and music.

This is the work of Ulysses.

However, the soul of this body has already been annihilated.

To awaken him, Maggie and the others need to offer up their souls.

Even so, their soul strength was only enough to support this body in completing one movement of music.

But finishing that one song is enough.

Maggie and several other musicians began the awakening ritual.

Their eyes were filled with fanaticism.

But just then, Maggie felt a white shadow flash past the corner of her eye.

She instinctively turned her head and saw a pure white owl tilting its head and looking at them.

Why would there be an owl here?

Maggie sensed something was wrong, but before she could think about it, another player in the audience suddenly spoke up in confusion.

"Wait, listen, what's that piece of music He Wei Ni Ya is playing?"

"It's finally starting."

Hailuo Manor.

When he heard the Final Chapter begin, Yi Wen couldn't help but smile.

His earlier gamble on He Wei Ni Ya proved to be a wise one.

She did indeed make it to the end.

Once she plays the Final Chapter, the ending is irreversible.

The Hai Luo Family will rise to prominence.

So, should we continue to treat her as a daughter, or... a wife?

Yi Wen glanced at Man Di beside him subconsciously, already having more ideas in mind.

That said, this Final Chapter is surprisingly clear.

It's even clearer than it was twenty years ago.

It seems that the Great Lord is equally pleased with the return of the Seven Sound Divine Song.

Yi Wen thought to himself.

But soon, he realized something was wrong.

Why does the music played by He Wei Ni Ya sound...?

Does that sound familiar?

He frowned slightly, wondering if he had heard this intro somewhere before.

Then, his eyes widened little by little.

"... The Seed-Seeking Song?"

Auger's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Not just Auger, but everyone in the entire Seed Zone had roughly the same expression.

After all, no one in the Holy Sound knows that song better than the Seed Zone.

No... is that really a piece of music?

It was never registered on any musical score, never formally recorded, and didn't even have a fixed melody.

There is only disorder, madness, and craving.

It sounded like someone who knew nothing about music was randomly banging on the piano keys, or like the incomprehensible roar of a wild beast that didn't understand music.

If it weren't for the notes resonating within them, if it weren't for the sacred sound of the heavens, people would think they were dreaming.

"The Seed-Seeking Song! The Seed-Seeking Song!"

The Breeding Male and Breeding Female had been kneeling on the ground, stood up shakily, stretching their hands toward the sky as if to embrace it.

"Lord, the Lord has heard our voices!"

"Great Lord, the Great Lord has given us the seed!"

They began to shout, to yell, to tremble and weep.

In their frenzy, they even disregarded the most basic etiquette and began their courtship like wild beasts.

"Damn it! What are you doing?!"

"This is Grand Ceremony!"

"This is blasphemy! This is blasphemy!"

The managers immediately rushed over and started punching and kicking the Breeding Male Breeding Female studs.

But it was no use anymore; the situation was spiraling out of control, to the point that even the managers had a deep sense of fear in their eyes.

Because that Final Chapter still resonates in their ears, and the notes within them still echo with it.

That final chapter, which comes only once every twenty years, does not bring the sacredness, tradition, or art of the past.

Instead, it is the stench, desire, and darkness unique to the Seed Zone.

All the performers of the Holy Sound experienced hallucinations in this moment of resonance.

They saw their kind mating wildly like beasts.

I saw the corpses of children who had been thrown into the mass grave or used as animal feed.

I saw a small hand emerging from what I couldn't tell was a latrine or mud, and on that hand were musical notes that looked like rust.

That deepest, most hidden place, where the light cannot reach.

At this moment, sacred sounds are sprinkled across the earth, merging into the notes of every person.

"He Wei Ni Ya!!!"

Within the Seven Sound Holy Temple, Ulysses unleashed his most furious roar.

He no longer possessed his former composure.

At that moment, he looked like a mad lion.

"What are you doing!?"

"What are you asking the Lord to hear?!"

He raised his staff, aiming it at He Wei Ni Ya was enveloped in Holy Light.

Around him, the originally peaceful and joyful Holy Light appeared somewhat distorted at this moment.

Ulysses could sense it.

He Wei Ni Ya could also sense it.

The Lord of Holy Sound is also angry.

This is not the Final Chapter He wanted.

This is... blasphemy!

In an instant, unparalleled pressure surged from all directions, and barbs suddenly sprouted from the scepter in He Wei Ni Ya's hand, piercing through her tightly gripping hand.

The notes that were playing their Final Chapter were also trembling constantly, as if they could be destroyed at any moment.

Lord of Holy Sound

I'm really angry.

He will take back the scepter that He Wei Ni Ya had been given.

He will unleash the most severe punishment upon this human being who dared to blaspheme Him.

At that moment, He Wei Ni Ya also opened her eyes.

Her gaze toward Ulysses was no longer calm, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

This is her... mockery.

She was mocking Ulysses, and she was mocking...

Lord of Holy Sound.

But that wasn't enough; she was waiting for one last opportunity.

Just before the Lord of Holy Sound was about to reclaim the scepter, she grabbed it and plunged it violently into her own body.

And this is also... the position of the Fourth Sound.

Her Fourth Sound was marked with black spots, like acne that had been condensed several times over.

Ulysses' eyes widened upon seeing this.

That's... Ka Lun's virus!?

This guy wants to... infect the Lord of Holy Sound?!

"You madman!" Ulysses roared, "You think you can harm the Lord with that little bit of virus?! Foolish!"

He Wei Ni Ya chuckled softly, then pulled off her coat.

Ulysses saw that there was another unactivated... Eye of the Ritual on her body.

That's... Eternal Note?!

Ulysses finally felt uneasy, but it was too late.

He Wei Ni Ya activated the Eye of the Ritual.

That power, passed down for thousands of years, comes from all the Holy Sound Golden Sound played throughout history.

It landed on her.

He Wei Ni Ya, on the other hand, chose to focus all her power on the Fourth Sound.

The Fourth Sound with black spots.

At that moment, the black markings suddenly expanded and erupted, spreading rapidly like ink stains dropped into clear water, instantly polluting the Holy Light!

With the aid of the Holy Light, it instantly spread to all the players listening to the Final Chapter.

"What is this thing?!"

"Isn't this Ka Lun's disease? Why is it growing on my body!"

"No, my notes! My notes will be destroyed!"

"Maggie! Maggie! Think of something!"

"Aaaaaaah! What on earth is going on?!"

"Madam! Please don't panic."

"Get out of here! You've got some on you too!!" Man Di looked at Yi Wen in shock. "Yi Wen, what's going on?!"

Yi Wen sat blankly on the ground, his eyes as if dead.

"What the hell?! What's that on these bastards?!"

"Boss! You have some too!"

"... Damn it! It must be these guys who infected me! It must be them who infected me!"

Enraged, the manager grabbed a whip and charged at the breeding Breeding Male and Breeding Female.

I'm going to kill you all!

Auger watched helplessly as the Seed Zone descended into chaos.

Then he raised his head again and looked at the Holy Light.

Where the eternal Holy Light was, there were also patches of black spots, which were spreading rapidly.

This gave Auger a crazy idea that he himself couldn't believe.

The Lord of Holy Sound... has also been infected.

Ulysses was furious.

But he didn't dare to lay a hand on He Wei Ni Ya.

Because He Wei Ni Ya was like a giant bomb at this moment, he didn't know what the consequences would be if he rashly killed He Wei Ni Ya.

But he could sense that the Lord was also infected.

Ka Lun's virus was originally a terminal illness specifically targeting musical notes.

The entire Holy Sound has no cure for this ailment; it can indeed be considered a poison in terms of musical notes.

But Ulysses did not expect that He Wei Ni Ya would attack the Lord of Holy Sound in this way.

Because it is only one person's virus, it is impossible for it to affect the Lord of Holy Sound, even in the Final Chapter where the Lord and the performer have the closest contact.

But He Wei Ni Ya used the Eternal Note!

She amplified this viral characteristic to the maximum extent.

With this immense blessing, He Wei Ni Ya actually turned the impossible into possible.

This madman turned himself into a bomb, intending to kill the Lord of Holy Sound!

She never intended to go back alive!

Ulysses, watching He Wei Ni Ya's body rapidly disintegrate, roared, "It's no use, He Wei Ni Ya! This virus can't kill the Lord!"

He Wei Ni Ya struggled to lift her head and looked at Ulysses, saying softly, "I never intended to kill Him. That's not something I could do. What I wanted to kill... was just you all."

But... us?

Ulysses' pupils constricted again upon hearing this.

Then it suddenly occurred to him.

There is only one way to stop this virus.

It is also the only one.

"Bang".

He heard a crisp sound.

Just as the black spot was about to spread across the sky, the Holy Light broke.

Ulysses stood there, staring blankly at the sky above.

There was nothing there.

This made him realize.

The Lord of Holy Sound withdrew his gaze.

As well as...

"Bang".

Another crisp sound.

He lowered his head.

Seeing his own notes crumbling inch by inch,

In the end, it turned into dust.

"This is my Final Chapter for you."

Despite the rapidly fading vitality in He Wei Ni Ya's face, a bright smile still managed to appear.

"Are you satisfied, Principal?"
