All In-Now What? / The Way of the Blazing Sun

"The Seven Gates Trial was originally the final destination for his coronation in Amamiya City. If he passes through normally, there won't be any worries. I have prepared the crown and the congratulatory message."

"But that guy actually gave up right before he was about to take over, choosing to quit!"

"That's outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! Gaia, you be the judge! We were only one step away from victory!"

Both of her designed game endings failed because of this unconventional player.

In fact, she went to great lengths to put Kevin on the throne as soon as possible and to complete the integration of Earth's civilizations and resources.

The Kabbalah Tree of Life and the accompanying Ten Angels in Amamiya City are the prototypes of Celestial Computer, responsible for controlling all of humanity and Civilization Ascension.

With these, the invisible empire he has built will undergo a qualitative leap!

However, that guy was so foolish as to give up the great opportunity to completely control the Ark of Stars just because he couldn't bear to see these girls perish!

Hatsune Miku muttered to herself, seemingly harboring some resentment towards Kevin.

Muramasa Reine slightly raised her eyelids and nodded perfunctorily.

"It seems so. He succeeded in the first six tests, so for the final game in Amamiya City, you hope he wins? To get enough capital to gamble against Lieyang Star?"

But for some reason, the Princess's lips kept curving upwards, revealing a joyful smile.

"No, I hope he loses!"

Chapter 837 (Bonus Chapter): All in! How to Play?

[The Seven Trials] are actually a series of tests conducted by Hatsune Miku to cultivate leaders of civilization. Each step has its own purpose.

The first link, [The Holy Grail War], involves sending out the Decoder Code Holy Grail to trigger Kevin's initial memories and to plant Tokisaki Kurumi a hidden agent, which will then facilitate the introduction of the final Amamiya City.

The second section, [R'lyeh Hymn], showcases the predicaments facing Earth and tests its ability to adapt to extreme environments.

The third and fourth rings, [The Dark Crystal Myth], reveal the dark side of humanity to this savior, to see if he is still willing to guide the entire race toward the light.

The fifth ring, [The time of judgment], is to end the fear brought about by the Honkai and to perfect the hand he holds.

Now that the Honkai has been defeated, it means that Earth's "inoculation experiment" against Ultimate Fear has been completed.

Thus, the sixth ring, the [Kunlun Beast Tide], was introduced, and the secrets of Earth itself were completely revealed. According to the plan, they were supposed to solve the problem of the Primordial Experiment Subjects and inherit the legacy of the Pangu Civilization.

However, with the intervention of the Lieyang Star and the escalating tensions between the two sides, the time it took for humanity to digest and absorb the results was greatly shortened, and the clash between different civilizations arrived ahead of schedule.

Therefore, the seventh game, the [Kabbalah Tree of Life], had to be put on the agenda before the trip to Kunlun.

This is so that after Kevin completes the game, he can obtain the trump card she prepared for the savior as a substitute for the Pangu Civilization's legacy as soon as possible.

Everything should have been as it should have been, but the outcome was not as expected.

The moment Kevin could reach the crown, he chose to give it up, for he saw the bones crushed beneath the steps and the blood on the scepter.

At this moment, Muramasa Reine seemed to be deep in thought. She glanced back at the bewildered Tokisaki Kurumi, then stroked her chin and murmured to herself.

"So your final step wasn't about granting divinity, but rather testing humanity!"

"Yes! Hello! Yes! Hello!"

Suddenly, before Hatsune Miku could even speak, the light green, round robot in her arms jumped onto her head and emitted a pleasant electronic voice.

"Kevin! I like it! Miku, I like it!"

"Bang!"

The emerald green twin-tailed Diva nonchalantly raised her right hand and slapped the emerald green harpoon away, secretly resolving to remove its smart chip when she got back.

Tokisaki Kurumi, standing to the side, noticed that both of their gazes were fixed on her, and couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"What does this have to do with me?"

Hatsune Miku casually snapped her fingers, her body flashing with light, her emerald green twin tails lengthening and turning black, and her left eye filled with eerie blue flames.

The familiar outfit left Tokisaki Kurumi looking completely bewildered, prompting her to gasp in surprise.

"Black Rock Shooter! Saint Fath! You're the one who helped me!"

Hatsune Miku clapped her hands, smiled with narrowed eyes, and let out a smug hum.

"That's right. Back then, seeing you confused about the fate of the Ten Angels, I gave you a push out of humanitarian concern."

Immediately, the Diva princess put her hands on her hips, proclaiming her foresight.

"See? Having you build a good relationship with that guy in Saint Fath really did save your life, didn't it?"

"Now, even the shackles called [Destiny] on you sisters have been completely removed by him, and he's even given everyone a happy ending. Trust me, you won't go wrong!"

At this moment, CC, who had somehow produced a pizza and was munching on it, rolled the whites of her eyes slightly and, from the perspective of an observer, revealed a profound meaning.

"You and that guy are old acquaintances from Saint Fath, and you even dated..."

"If the price of becoming a god-king is the sacrifice of even someone as close as you, then the lives of ordinary humans are even more insignificant."

"Who can guarantee that if he becomes king, he won't lose himself in the lust for power and pour all the resources into achieving his own selfish ends?"

"Now that I think about it, if that guy had actually made that choice, even if you two outwardly relinquished divine authority, you would probably have left behind means of countermeasures."

The Green Haired Witch put down the pizza, frowned slightly, placed her hands on the table, leaned forward, and met Hatsune Miku's gaze. She felt an urge to speak up for Kevin.

"Hey, I'm telling you, don't you think it's going too far to scheme against him like this?"

Hatsune Miku, having her thoughts exposed by the Tool Person in front of her, lost her stage to perform and suddenly found the green-haired guy with the same hair color in front of her quite displeasing.

"If he really made that choice, you wouldn't even be able to follow him; you'd have been absorbed and assimilated by the Kabbalah Tree of Life long ago. Would you still have the chance to whine here?"

Then, under this expressionless stare, the Diva princess's voice grew softer and softer, as if she had given up out of guilt.

"Don't look at me like that. Long before the first trial even started, I shoved Tokisaki Kurumi in front of him to create a coincidence."

"By orchestrating things, we deepen each other's impressions and feelings, giving him a reason to choose humanity. That's already cheating, understand?"

"Furthermore, do you know what a God-King means? He can control all resources, determine the direction of civilization, and the life and death of a race depends on him. How can I not be cautious?"

Hatsune Miku's curt response carried a hint of loneliness and world-weariness that was difficult for ordinary people to comprehend.

"She's right. When we decide to complete the integration of our civilizations, the god chosen by our people will determine our future."

"Examples of civilizations enduring tumultuous waves due to a single thought or idea are everywhere in the universe."

Muramasa Reine opened her eyes, her expression unusually serious, and took the initiative to defend Hatsune Miku.

"Odin, in order to spread the glory of the Asgardian God Clan throughout the Nine Worlds, saw his renowned Valkyrie nearly wiped out..."

"Dihong Kun, due to his subjective judgment regarding the war with the neighboring star system, detonated a star in the Deno Galaxy, causing his own planet to suffer a counterattack and be split in two..."

"Queen Holy Kaisa, in order to maintain Just Order, broke with her sister Liang Bing, and the war between angels and demons lasted for thirty thousand years..."

Hatsune Miku now felt more confident and earnestly expressed her feelings.

"His achievements cannot determine the future choices. We must choose the most perfect king for the entire race, and even for this This Planet!"

Tokisaki Kurumi hugged Stan, murmured something, and felt a surge of joy in her heart.

"Did he win the final trial?"

However, Hatsune Miku, who had just been talking eloquently, snorted and rolled her eyes.

"Of course they lost! Without the energy matrix formed by the Kaba Tree of Life, linking the Planetary Great Source, they were no match for Dihong Kun!"

"Unfortunately, the card we've prepared isn't ready to be revealed now."

"Since it's the path you chose, just walk it to the end. As for the fallback, didn't that guy already find someone to take the blame?"

"But since you're so fond of taking unconventional approaches, you'd better not come crying to us if you get beaten up..."

Then, looking at the Princess in the void, she outwardly reprimanded Kevin, but a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"I wish you could Honkai their teeth even without this card."

"By the way, it's almost time to go all in, how are you going to play this round?"

P. S.: I still owe four chapters. I'll continue to update regularly and ask for votes.

The seven basic quests are now connected, and the overall structure of the quests from the first to the seventh quest has finally been revealed. In fact, they are all related, but some impatient readers missed this point and thought the plot was too loose. (A slow-burn setup, unfortunately.)

Chapter 838, Section 801 Solar Heavenly Path

Buzz!

In the Kunlun Secret Realm, just as Kevin and the others were taking control of the situation, the Gate of the Heavenly Realm suddenly shone brightly, merging the nine into one.

Mysterious tadpole runes peeled off the surface of the gate, resembling lit stars in the pitch-black sky, and swirled in an enigmatic trajectory.

In an instant, a blazing light, seemingly capable of melting all things, traversed the vast galaxy, descended from the sky, and exploded with a deafening roar!

Instantly, darkness vanished, and as far as the eye could see, light reached everywhere.

Kevin's Spatial Barrier was easily penetrated, and the artificial black hole hidden inside the Kunlun Mountain, which was quietly operating, also lost its effect and collapsed.

Meanwhile, the prey, who was originally controlled by the people on Earth, and Li Suying behind Pan Zhen, were enveloped by the two rays of light projected from the split and floated slightly upward.

The domineering power contained within the protective shield blasted the Pursuer tried to advance into the mountainside.

While in a semi-conscious state, Reina and Li Suying were drawn into the interstellar worm bridge formed by the Gate of the Heavenly Realm by an invisible force.

Clearly, this young goddess has been moved to the safest Tiandao Palace to avoid the upcoming battle, making the Lieyang Star side hesitant to act rashly.

At the same time, nine circular arrays, gradually increasing in size and engraved with cloud and thunder patterns and blazing sun designs, nested layer upon layer, interlocked and resembled a majestic vertical pupil with intricate patterns.

The surrounding air gradually became scorching and restless, as if flames were constantly flowing within it.

"Bang! Bang!"

Fu Hua and Sun Wukong, who were trying to stop the Four Great Divine Generals, were violently shaken away by the four phantom images of divine beasts that emerged from the flames.

"We respectfully welcome the Emperor Lord's celestial entourage!"

"This humble general has fought for a long time without success, and has failed in his duties in both offense and defense, causing the Princess to be in danger. I beg Your Majesty to punish me!"

Four Great Divine Generals withdrew from the battle and knelt down in worship toward the vertical pupil Pan Zhen, who was standing to the side with a slight nod, also looked ashamed.

"After all, you are facing the Nine Heavens Xuannü, who caused the eternal separation of heaven and earth five thousand years ago, and the mischievous Demon Monkey wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace two thousand years ago. It's understandable..."

"Step aside and let's discuss this after this matter is settled."

The faint sound from the void made the Heavenly Palace Divine General, who had been feeling uneasy, secretly breathe a sigh of relief and quickly nodded in gratitude.

At this moment, Kevin, Fu Hua, and Sun Wukong, who were at the forefront, were breathing heavily and looking solemn, but they had not yet revealed much of their abnormality.

However, the weaker individuals were like clay sculptures, their muscles stiff, yet sweat poured down their brows and backs.

It's not that they don't want to move, it's that they can't!

It was a kind of mental oppression; they felt as if they were facing a burning star, and any slight hostility would be burned to ashes by the heat it released.

Even more incredibly, ever since that star-like, eyeball-like object took shape in the sky, the auras of the Four Great Divine Generals have steadily increased, echoing each other from afar.

The vertical pupils, suspended high in the air, turned towards this place, staring coldly, their intense light and heat actually reflecting into the minds of everyone present.

Now, just by comparing their auras, Fu Hua and Sun Wukong are already wary of the Four Great Divine Generals. If they were to actually fight them again, the situation would likely become quite dangerous.

Not to mention, the four people who have gathered before them seem to have practiced a kind of formation that combines abilities. Sun Wukong, who once went to the Heavenly Palace, suffered quite a bit from this.

Moreover, the one mentioned above is even more troublesome!

Seeing that the Divine Will of the people behind them were being constantly burned by the radiance of the star, Fu Hua, Sun Wukong, and Kevin exchanged glances.

The Battle Saint Buddha, who had a long-standing grudge against the Four Great Divine Generals and was as impatient as a raging fire, was the first to strike.

"Hey! Take this Sky-Propping Cudgel from my Old Sun cudgel!"

A hundred-meter-tall golden-haired giant ape phantom appeared behind Sun Wukong. The monster bared its teeth and roared like thunder. At the same time, the Golden Cudgel, which had grown to ten thousand feet, slammed into the vertical pupil in the void.

Wherever it passed, the void shattered!

"Protect the Emperor!"

"The spirit of the sun resides within me! The four elements and four phases, the majesty of heaven endures forever!"

The Four Great Divine Generals roared, and the four illusory figures of Xuan Crocodile, Tiger Demon, Crimson Phoenix, and Holy Dragon stared even more intently, as if they were living beings looking down upon all living beings.

They moved in formation, blocking the giant ape's upward thrust of its Golden Cudgel. The space collapsed extensively where the two forces collided, and a fierce gale swept outwards.
