Mission Complete, Simulation Ended (Two-in-One)

The Sea God's Heart and the Sea God's Trident, which are crucial to the Sea God Inheritance, have been completely destroyed, and the Sea God Temple in the alternate dimension has also been damaged.

At this point, the Main Quest of this Simulation should be considered complete.

At least in Su Cheng's view, he had already done his best.

He did not intend to go to the Sea God's Palace, which served as the space for inheritance, in person.

The attack that the Sea God himself had just launched from the Divine Realm, through the inheritance space, was enough for him to feel the difference in their strength.

He had witnessed the power of Third-Level God before; Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong, who had just become gods, were at the Third-Level God level.

Compared to the power of the Sea God just now, it's worlds apart, even greater than the gap between an ordinary person and Titled Douluo.

At his current level, facing the Sea God would be meaningless and would only waste a golden opportunity to comprehend his current special state.

[Main Quest completed. You may leave at any time within one hour.]

At that moment, a notification appeared indicating that the task was completed.

Su Cheng ignored him, his aura subsided, his eyes slightly closed, and he immersed himself in his own world.

The Innate Power formed by the fusion of essence, energy, and spirit is rapidly dissipating, but the strength of his body, comparable to that of God-level, and his overall condition have not decreased much as a result.

This was completely different from the life depletion and blood vessel damage he had experienced before.

The loss of vitality is a gradual process, starting with qi deficiency and physical weakness, followed by energy decline, and finally damage to the five internal organs, until life is lost.

But now, it seems that his entire being is being gradually erased from the world, without any discernible order. Apart from the loss of his soul, he doesn't feel much weakness; he is completely unified, only his breath is constantly fading.

Even so, he could feel how different he was at that moment.

One's own small world coexists harmoniously with the external world, and all changes in the external world are clearly reflected in one's own perception.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if all the Titled Douluo in the world came together to attack him at this moment, they would not be able to cause him the slightest harm.

Even without considering the strength of the power, no one can escape his senses, break his power cycle, or even deplete it.

However, Su Cheng's state of mind does not mean he is completely integrated with the world.

On the contrary, at this moment, he seemed to have escaped the control of the world.

But he was not a rebel against the world, nor was he ever rejected by it. On the contrary, the world seemed to be celebrating his achievements.

This is by no means the typical situation for God-level powerhouses.

Su Cheng knew what it felt like for Soul Master to inherit a divine position and become a god. Qian Renxue had once said that the world was urging her to leave as soon as possible.

"Why is that..."

Su Cheng had some doubts.

He wasn't quite sure whether the Douluo Plane currently possessed any so-called world consciousness.

This feedback from the world is not the same kind of emotion as humans, but rather a peculiar resonance.

But in any case, his achievements were derived from heaven and earth.

Now that he has achieved perfection, although his physical condition is incomplete, his essence is to detach himself from the world and cultivate himself. So why does he receive the world's praise?

After thinking about it, Su Cheng put the question aside for the time being.

Today's gains have been enormous.

Even disregarding the mission itself, the insights he has gained have far exceeded his expectations.

Only after truly possessing and experiencing this power can one have a clearer understanding of the path ahead, which will greatly benefit his future.

They slowly descended to the ruins of the Sea God Hall, and then walked down the mountain.

The once sacred and majestic Poseidon Sea God Mountain has long since become dilapidated, and the magnificent Sea God's Light that once shrouded it has been completely worn away by the residual power of his previous sword skills.

Amidst the varied gazes of the crowd below, Su Cheng arrived at the foot of the mountain with what appeared to be a slow but actually fast pace, and then his figure flashed and appeared Ring Sea.

The seven Sacred Pillar Douluo who had arrived not long ago exchanged glances, their expressions complex, a mixture of grief, hatred, and helplessness. Lorelai lowered her head and wept silently.

Su Cheng's aura was not as oppressive at this moment, far less intense and surging like a god's aura as it had been at the mountaintop.

However, although he was calm and peaceful at this moment, he was like the Bright Moon in the sky. No matter how gentle and reserved he was, who would dare to compete with him?

Su Cheng ignored the few Sacred Pillar Douluo and first looked at Bibi Dong, who had a pale face. He nodded slightly and said, "Dong'er, please wait a moment."

Bibi Dong saw that he was in good condition. Although his face was obscured by a mask, he was unharmed and had an unusually strong vitality.

While hesitating, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Although I had many questions I wanted to ask, I put them aside for the time being when he spoke.

Su Cheng turned around and walked up to Bo Saixi.

Looking at the stunning beauty in red robes before him, his expression softened, and he bowed slightly, saying, "Teacher, I'm sorry to disappoint you."

Bo Saixi didn't speak, but just stared blankly at Su Cheng.

After a long while, he gave a bitter laugh and turned his face away to avoid eye contact.

What can she do or say now?

The Sea God Inheritance has been utterly destroyed.

The High Priest's mission thus came to an end.

Even Sea God Island, a sacred sea site with a history spanning millennia, may no longer have any reason to exist.

The one who caused all of this was his closest and only disciple.

At this time, Bo Saixi was still unaware of Su Cheng's true condition and did not know that he was nearing the end of his life.

Su Cheng's current performance is indeed very deceptive.

His level was too high, and his aura was perfectly harmonious. Even peerless powerhouses like Bibi Dong and Bo Saixi would find it difficult to perceive his true situation.

"Go away, leave this place, and don't call me teacher again," Bo Saixi said coldly without looking at him.

In the past, the two were both teacher and friend. This apprentice was both her hope and her pride.

But in the future, the two can only be mortal enemies.

Su Cheng looked at her and chuckled softly, "You can't leave."

Upon hearing this, Bo Saixi's body trembled violently.

All the emotions that had been suppressed in his heart suddenly burst forth, and his chest heaved violently.

She turned and met Su Cheng's gaze. "Can't leave? So you're planning to eliminate me, the High Priest, as well after destroying Sea God Mountain?"

"Indeed, we must nip it in the bud." Su Cheng's laughter grew louder.

Although it's not good to do this, and it shouldn't be done.

But looking at Bo Saixi's expression, he still had a subtle feeling in his heart.

Now that everything was over, he felt relaxed and spoke without much restraint.

"Teacher, are you ready?"

As he spoke, he stretched his right palm forward, and a transparent flame ignited on his hand again, reaching straight toward Bo Saixi's slender neck.

Bo Saixi made no attempt to dodge or resist, but simply stared at him coldly, her eyes growing increasingly pained and sorrowful.

"Stop!"

"Su Cheng, what are you doing?!"

"She's your teacher!"

"..."

Su Cheng completely ignored the shouts of the several Sacred Pillar Douluo.

In fact, those people had no other way but to speak out and stop it.

Although he had concealed his imposing manner, he was actually in complete control of the surrounding environment. If he didn't want to, no one could get close to him.

But then, Su Cheng's hand brushed across Bo Saixi's seemingly slender and delicate neck.

He then continued forward, his palm reaching behind her.

Bo Saixi paused, staring blankly at the mask that was now so close to her.

A faint breath escaped from beneath the mask, and a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes.

The next moment, Bo Saixi's expression suddenly changed drastically.

Her Martial Soul manifested uncontrollably in response to the stress, Sea God Phantom, clad in golden armor, appeared behind her.

And Su Cheng's palm actually pierced into that illusory Sea God Martial Soul!

At the same time, streaks of blood appeared around his eyes.

"You--"

"Teacher, this Martial Soul is your shackle, I think you should get rid of it." A burning pain came from his soul, Su Cheng's voice remained as calm as ever, his hands clenched tightly, "I'll give you a better one."

"Laugh--"

A slight burning sound rang out, and the imposing golden figure struggled and twisted in the transparent flames for a moment before slowly melting away.

Su Cheng raised his left hand and placed it on Bo Saixi's shoulder.

With a tremor in his blood, a new figure swiftly replaced the original golden-armored figure.

This new figure was none other than Bo Saixi herself.

Su Cheng naturally couldn't create a bloodline out of thin air.

But he doesn't need to create something out of thin air.

In this world, everyone has blood; the difference lies only in how deeply it is hidden and how pure it is.

Just now, Su Cheng used his powerful Soul Power and his understanding of bloodline and Martial Soul to activate Bo Saixi's own bloodline.

Then, at the cost of greatly consuming his own power, Reshaping Bo Saixi's Martial Soul Bloodline, using the Sea God Martial Soul as fuel to make it take shape.

In terms of quality alone, this newly formed Body Martial Soul is definitely inferior to her original Sea God Martial Soul.

Even his strength has declined significantly because the divine power on his Martial Soul and Soul Ring was forcibly wiped away.

But now, her newly born Martial Soul has opened up a new space for advancement for her. She is no longer bound by the identity and mission of a guardian of the gods and has unlimited possibilities.

Moreover, although her Martial Soul changed, Bo Saixi's original Soul Ring did not disappear, which was also stabilized by Su Cheng.

The Martial Soul is connected to the soul and should never be easily changed.

If Su Cheng hadn't possessed unparalleled strength, realm, and perception at this moment, coupled with his profound understanding of the essence of Martial Soul and Soul Ring, he wouldn't have dared to perform such an operation.

Moreover, he paid a heavy price to achieve this.

His soul was missing a small part again.

In that instant, even maintaining internal balance became difficult, and his aura fluctuated violently.

It was because of this fluctuation that everyone present finally truly felt his actual condition.

"Cheng Xue!" Bibi Dong's exclamation came from behind.

"What's wrong with you?!" Bo Saixi's eyes widened, and she grabbed Su Cheng's arm with her backhand, no longer caring about anything else.

The demise of the Sea God Inheritance and the end of the High Priest's mission left her feeling bleak about the future.

But she still had feelings for him. Although she didn't want to admit it, she really couldn't let go of Su Cheng.

No matter how disappointed and resentful he was of this apprentice, how could he easily sever the bond of so many years?

Su Cheng did not speak immediately, but first looked Bo Saixi up and down.

As her Martial Soul changed, her temperament underwent a slight change.

No longer carrying a hint of seriousness like before, she appeared much more relaxed and lively.

This is just the beginning; after some time, her changes will likely become even more noticeable.

After all, Martial Soul and souls are connected, so it's inevitable that they will have some influence on each other.

"Teacher, you are so young and beautiful. You should have your own life." Su Cheng chuckled and withdrew his right hand, then removed the other woman's slender hand from his arm.

"What is the Sea God? Does he deserve your service? You are my teacher, Su Cheng."

After saying that, he turned around and looked at another woman wearing a bright gold Pope Robe.

"Cheng Xue!" Bibi Dong's face grew paler and paler, and tears streamed uncontrollably from her eyes.

She had just felt that terrifying sense of death as well.

"No, your name is Su Cheng, right? Not only will you not let me see what you look like, you won't even tell me your real name. What am I to you...?"

Su Cheng sighed softly, "Whether you know my appearance or my name, or not, what difference does it make now?"

"You promised me," Bibi Dong murmured, "You clearly promised me..."

"..." Su Cheng remained silent for a moment, but found that he had nothing to explain.

He sighed and stepped forward. "I'm sorry, Dong'er. Consider this last little gift as compensation for deceiving you."

Having said that, before Bibi Dong could resist, the transparent flames on her body ignited again.

"Cheng'er!"

Behind him, Bo Saixi's voice trembled slightly.

She now understood what the flames meant.

"No, I don't want to!" Bibi Dong shook her head helplessly, trying to back away, but Su Cheng pressed her down and she couldn't move.

Please, don't do this!

Su Cheng silently placed his hand on her shoulder, ignoring her struggles and screams, and flames of the same color ignited on her body.

At the same time, a ferocious, dark green spider appeared behind Bibi Dong, then rippled like water.

A transparent light shone within the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor's body.

"Don't worry, this isn't forcing growth, it's just clearing away some potential problems for you. However, I can't completely eliminate them, after all, it concerns the essence of your Martial Soul," Su Cheng said calmly.

"This light of the soul can enhance your soul foundation, making it much easier to suppress Evil Thought thoughts in the future. This power will also belong entirely to you."

As he finished speaking, a transparent light began to wash over the dark green Soul Devouring Spider Emperor Martial Soul.

Soon, the dark ink on the Martial Soul gradually faded over time, turning into a pure emerald green.

"Call..."

After a while, Su Cheng released his arms and let out a long breath.

After doing all this, his breathing finally became unsteady and began to deteriorate rapidly like a deflated balloon.

The severe depletion of his soul's essence had rendered his internal balance completely unsustainable.

Once this balance is broken, he will naturally be unable to maintain his previous level of strength.

Su Cheng didn't pay any attention and admired Bibi Dong, who looked increasingly beautiful, for a moment.

"Being a good Pope, I'm sure you can do it now."

After saying that, he turned around.

He had one last thing to do.

"Today, I will pass on the three volumes of the Innate Skill to all people under heaven."

"With this technique, one can supplement one's innate foundation with acquired skills."

"Regardless of your background, talent, or social status, from this day forward, you all have the potential to cultivate..."

As Su Cheng spoke, his voice echoed across the entire sea.

All the Sea People, no matter where they are or what they are doing, hear his voice.

Whether this world is real or fake is irrelevant to him.

I did this simply because of the belief in my heart.

As for the nature of this world, it was unimportant to him.

He was not stingy with these things, and even after returning to the real world, if conditions allowed, he never thought of keeping them to himself.

After explaining the entire content of the Innate Skill, Su Cheng pondered for a moment, then continued:

"I also want to tell you that there is nothing wrong with being human. What gods are there? They are just a bunch of self-righteous freaks!"

"I am not a saint, and I act solely according to my own will. I neither believe in others nor need anyone to believe in me. Therefore, you need not be grateful for this, much less praise my name."

"As for slander and abuse, saying that I am the source of chaos, calling me a demon, that is all your prerogative, that is also your freedom."

"But there is only one thing I hope you can do."

"Never kneel before anyone again, for you were once my equals."

After saying that, Su Cheng prepared to exit the Simulation.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, he clapped his hands and said, "I almost forgot."

She glanced back at Bibi Dong, "Although you might not remember..."

The next moment, intense flames shot into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, his spirit left this world, and his body was reduced to nothingness by the full eruption of his Innate Power.

"Don't want--"

"Cheng'er!"

"Su Cheng!"

"..."

Bo Saixi finally could not hold on any longer. Her body went limp, and she collapsed to the ground, covering her face with her hands.

"High Priest..."

Upon seeing this, the Sacred Pillar Douluo quickly gathered around, their eyes filled with both worry and emotion.

The cultivation technique that Su Cheng just taught was incredibly profound, and I couldn't help but gain endless insights from it.

If they were to use this knowledge for cultivation now, they could easily make further progress.

But whether this method will be a blessing or a curse once it spreads is unknown...

Only Bibi Dong remained standing in the same spot, staring blankly at the place where Su Cheng's aura had disappeared.

Even now, she still feels like she's dreaming about all the changes that have happened today.

It was something she couldn't understand or accept.

But the warmth emanating from the depths of her soul, and the powerful and pure energy fluctuations emanating from that evil Second Martial Soul, made her realize that everything that had just happened was real.

"Knowing that you were destined to die, and not wanting me to have any worries, you didn't want me to know your true face until your death, and even went so far as to destroy your own body for that..."

At the same time, all Bright Cult members felt a pang of sorrow.

A sudden realization dawned on me: Su Cheng was dead.

Both body and soul have vanished into thin air; the person has completely disappeared from this world.

Perhaps everything Su Cheng did today was in vain.

The gap in talent between them remains as vast as an insurmountable chasm, standing between ordinary people and geniuses.

It is also possible that with the spread of the three volumes of the Innate Skill, countless people will be able to defy fate and have a brand new future.

Of course, it may be true, as Bo Saixi once said, that this is a demonic path that disrupts order and rules, and may even cause chaos in the world in the end.

But at this moment, everyone is grateful to him.

He broke the shackles of predetermined fate for everyone.

To enable ordinary people to seize a glimmer of hope for the future through their own efforts.

Tiny drops of light appeared on the lives of hundreds of millions of Sea People.

That was the light of their souls.

In the eyes of the gods of this world, these powers are the rudiments of the power of faith.

Such a scale of Soul Power could even serve as a foundation for becoming a god.

Countless drops of light trickled into the sea, converging into a torrent of soul-stirring energy that surged toward Sea God Island.

In this extraordinary world, the powers generated from the soul are extremely mysterious, and the power of faith is just one of them.

It is difficult for ordinary people to access, and its use is extremely crude, almost like a kind of instinct.

For example, the Martial Soul Avatar of Tool Spirit Master's martial spirit, the formation of External Soul Bone, the impact of the remnant soul after Soul Beast dies, and the special nature of 100,000 Year Spirit Ring are all manifestations of Soul Power.

At this moment, the sheer strength of the conviction emanating from the air was so great that it could even revive the recently deceased.

Unfortunately, Su Cheng not only burned his soul, but also condensed his physical body and bloodline into Innate Power.

Moreover, once he completed his mission, his consciousness had completely left him, so there was no possibility of him being resurrected.

The lingering waves of the soul continue to flicker.

Then, everyone saw countless intricate images flashing in the sky above the sea.

Those were the traces Su Cheng left on this vast sea.

Awakening his Martial Soul at the age of six, he refused the High Priest's offer to take him as a disciple and began giving speeches everywhere...

High Priest of the high priest at the age of seven, but instead of becoming obsessed with cultivation, he traveled across the Sea God Island, answering questions and resolving doubts for everyone...

At the age of eight, he left the mountains with the High Priest and traveled among the people...

At the age of nine, he discovered those pure-willed people of the sea and then led them in missionary work...

He founded the Bright Cult at the age of ten, compiled its doctrines, and guided countless lost Sea People toward their future...

Eleven, twelve, thirteen...

At seventeen, she refused the Sea God Trial, voluntarily left Sea God Island, taught the Bright Cult members cultivation methods, helped ordinary people become Soul Master, and then went to the mainland...

Five years ago, he returned to the sea and began to spread his cultivation techniques more widely, helping countless ordinary people cultivate their Soul Power, and promising to lead them to break free from their destiny...

The things Su Cheng did and said on this sea kept replaying in the sky.

This is how all the Sea People mourn him.

Bibi Dong stared blankly at the scenes flashing by in the sky.

Now, she finally knows Su Cheng's true appearance, which is not as ugly and repulsive as he had previously described.

But what's the point?
