The core of Undying Flower is an absolutely quiet realm built of pure energy and concepts, independent of all chaos and destruction in the outside world.
The figure of Li Wen quietly emerged in this silence.
At this time, Twilight Erosion's progress has reached 100%, announcing that her condition has fallen to an unprecedented bottom. Emerald Star Cloak had completely disintegrated during the last journey, turning into light and dissipating all over the sky. Now, she was almost defenseless exposed to this Undying Flower.
However, it was almost indifferent to her intrusion.
Li Wen is as if you are lying in a warm and comfortable cradle. Everything around you is so comfortable, forcing people to let go of everything, immerse themselves in it, integrate into it, and become one with it.
No, this is a trap.
Li Wen must cheer up. She is already exhausted. Once Twilight Erosion breaks through 100, she will die immediately.
There is no time left.
The moment before her consciousness completely dissipated, Li Wen called out the divine object bound to her.
A thick, ancient book with a semi-withered World Tree hot-stamped on the cover appeared in this quiet area without any warning.
It is "The Final Codex".
It does not emit light or produce any energy fluctuations, but declares its existence in an absolute and unquestionable manner. It floats quietly in front of Li Wen's consciousness that is about to collapse, like an eternal reef that resists the erosion of any force. Its existence itself is a "reality" that is completely different from its surroundings.
Li Wen did not stop. She did not come to die, but came with the certainty of certainty. The next moment, she activated the last spell she could cast.
Poem of Paradise!
No prayer, no mantra, just a thought.
The classic books moved automatically without any wind, and the pages opened with a clatter. Three illusory images composed of light and shadow emerged from the book, and were quickly swallowed up, distorted, and amplified by the vast energy around them.
The brightly dressed traveler carries his luggage and walks through the void. Every step seems to be walking on the tightrope of fate. His figure is sometimes clear and sometimes blurry in the sea of light, symbolizing the infinite possibilities and unknowns of the "Fool".
A majestic tower rose from the ground, and was immediately struck by an invisible lightning that descended from the depths of the concept. It collapsed, and as the masonry shattered, countless terrified souls fell into the abyss. That is the inevitable destruction caused by arrogance that the "tower" represents.
Finally, an angel in white holds a golden cup in both hands. He pours the holy brilliance in one cup into the deep darkness of the other. Light and darkness reach a perfect balance in the blend, neither annihilating each other nor devouring each other. This is the supreme harmony and cycle symbolized by "temperance".
These three images evolved from Poem of Paradise are like a silent drama in this ocean of concepts. Their power was so small that it could be ignored in front of Undying Flower, but the power and essence they inspired from "The Final Codex" were clearly perceived by the Undying Flower like the most deadly bait.
In an instant, the entire core space suddenly stagnated.
Just as Li Wen expected.
Undying Flower, this miracle was born by absorbing the essence of multiple souls and balancing the power of life and death. This prototype of divinity already has self-awareness. It instinctively felt it the moment "The Final Codex" was activated.
This being that had just given birth to self-awareness, like a hungry baby, instinctively perceived some kind of power that was far more advanced and original than all previous "nutrients". Any soul before this greatness is so rough and insignificant.
That is the ultimate temptation, the shortcut to true perfection.
So, Undying Flower no longer waits or pretends.
It wants to devour this original book, along with the insignificant existence that dares to challenge it.
Boom——
The huge flower bud standing on top of Sky Dome, like one carved from crystal and stars, fully bloomed at this moment.
There is no gradual process, no graceful stretch, only a violent, domineering gesture that completely vents one's existence to the entire world. Billions of crystal clear petals unfolded simultaneously in an instant, and inside each petal, there were bright rivers of stars flowing, reflecting the birth and death of countless worlds. A power that transcends life and death, transcends rules, and causes all things to wither, swept out from the depths of the flower's heart.
Divinity is fully revealed at this moment.
The first to bear the brunt are Poe Drian and Kourt, who are still frantically fighting for its ownership rights.
Poe Drian's shackles composed of pure magic runes broke like ice and snow the moment they came into contact with this powerful force. His wrinkled face, the pride and enthusiasm that belonged to Archmage, were replaced for the first time by a pure, incomprehensible fear.
His translucent body, which was about to turn into ether, was wiped away silently by this powerful force, along with his unwilling soul and hundreds of years of planning, leaving no trace behind, as if he had never existed in this world.
At the other end, Kourt's chain condensed with death energy also disintegrated instantly. His illusory face made of resentment only had time to show a hint of extreme horror and unwillingness, and then it turned into nothingness along with his incomplete soul and his desire for freedom.
The century-old enemy and the unparalleled conspiracy ushered in the most ironic and complete end at the moment when the miracle they had brought about by their own hands fully blossomed. At the moment of their death, their Remnant Soul and power were completely absorbed by the Undying Flower, becoming the last nourishment for its perfect bloom.

"He..."
The crazy roar of the pirate first mate Joseph suddenly stopped. In his scarlet eye, the source of the curse that supported his nearly eternal vitality suddenly broke. The expression on his face changed from extreme madness to one of confusion and astonishment.
He could feel that something extremely important had been pulled away from the depths of his soul forever. The pain and curse that had lasted for decades, like maggots on the tarsal bones, disappeared without a trace at this moment.
But what followed was not relief, but endless nothingness and emptiness.
His strength, his proud immortality, were decaying at an alarming rate.
Moria keenly captured this momentary change. He didn't hesitate at all, and while Joseph was distracted, he drew an arc with the long sword in his hand.
The power of "Breath of Dawn" has not completely faded away yet. This sword gathered all the power he could mobilize at the moment.
The sword light passed by, Joseph's head rose into the sky, and warm blood spurted out from the broken neck. The headless body swayed on the spot, and finally fell to its knees weakly, completely lifeless.
The madness and pain in his eyes finally calmed down. For this pirate who has been tortured by a curse all his life, death may be his only destination.
Captain Remington gasped, looking at the fallen body, with a look of relief on his face. Just as he was about to say something, a terrifying pressure that no one could resist fell from the sky, making him feel as if he had been struck by lightning, and he almost fell to his knees.
"Don't look up, let's go!"
A calm and decisive voice sounded. Selwyn appeared behind them at some point, his face looking solemn as never before.
He didn't even have time to explain. With a wave of one hand, a Teleportation Array composed of countless silver runes instantly unfolded at the feet of the three people.
"That's beyond what we can handle."
The moment the words fell, Teleportation Array glowed brightly, and the three figures instantly disappeared into the undersea ruins that were about to completely collapse.
