The End Is Also the Beginning

Ye Qianqian smiled bitterly. She thought she had everything under control, but in the end, she was just being played by others.

"We only have five minutes left, we have to find a way to stall for time." Ye Qianqian pinned all her hopes on that S-Class Bodyguard Trial Card. She looked up at Mo Youyou, who was high above her, and said, "I think we should have a serious talk."

Mo Youyou shook her head. "There's nothing to talk about. We're both Earthlings. There's a wise saying on Earth, I don't know if you remember it, that is, villains die from talking too much. So I must kill you all now, lest something unforeseen happens."

The immense energy once again gathered in Mo Youyou's hands, transforming into an irresistible magical light that shone upon everyone.

This time, the demonic light was even more powerful than before; it was the power released by fusing the spiritual essence of a deity.

When they sensed death approaching, they were filled with despair; it was a pain of being powerless to struggle.

"Buzz!"

Dark, magical light formed a lid, trapping everyone inside and relentlessly refining everything within.

In an instant, many people's bodies were dissolved by this power, the allied forces of the Ancient Families vanished in an instant, and the remaining forces of Lingxiao City also disappeared with the wind.

"Get out of my way!" Seeing that this calamity was unavoidable, the Hun Tiandi pushed Gu Yuan Xiao Xuan aside and rushed into Xiao Xuan's arms. His soft, jade-like lips pressed against Xiao Xuan's, and then he, Gu Yuan, and Xiao Xuan returned to dust.

Ye Qianqian Kaioken circulated the Eternal Sacred Body Art to resist the erosion of this demonic light. Her power continued to increase, and she fearlessly soared into the sky, throwing a punch at Mo Youyou.

"This is a futile struggle," Mo Youyou scoffed. She communicated with the main system program within her body and instantly connected to the subsystem within Ye Qianqian's body. With the authority of the master, she sealed all the power that Ye Qianqian had acquired.

"No, stop it!" Ye Qianqian watched helplessly as the people around her died one by one, unable to do anything to stop it. This hopelessness and helplessness made her feel like she was dying.

"Ancestor, I haven't disappointed my forefathers, have I?" Xiao Yi Xian's face turned deathly pale, and her body vanished with a soft "poof."

"Unfortunately, I was never able to save this world like my ancestor Nuwa," Medusa, her body trembling slightly. Her voice was slow and choked with sobs, and she vanished from the world at that moment.

"Ancestor, I don't want to die! I haven't avenged Yanran yet!" Yun Yun cried and roared in despair, but her body was slowly disappearing.

Everyone died. Under the illumination of this demonic light, apart from Ye Qianqian, who was barely clinging to life, there was no one alive.

Mo Youyou smiled and said, "My teacher, do you think my current power is unprecedented and will never be surpassed?"

Tears of blood streamed down Ye Qianqian's face as she knelt there, her expression blank, speechless.

Until now, her life has been smooth sailing, and she has never experienced such a great calamity as today.

She believed she could protect everyone and lead the entire Dou Qi Continent to glory, but now she has become a joke, a huge joke.

However, Mo Youyou did not stop. The power within her body covered the entire planet, enveloping it and devouring all living beings on the Dou Qi Continent.

Mountains are disappearing, rivers are drying up, all creatures in the seas are dying out, and all humans, Magical Beast, insects scattered throughout the world are being devoured at this moment.

In just three minutes, she drained all life from the planet, turning it into a dead star.

Having absorbed the corrosive demonic light, Mo Youyou opened her mouth and swallowed all the vast energy she had refined. She licked her lips with a lingering satisfaction, "My teacher, now you're all that's left."

With a casual flick of her wrist, a beam of demonic light, carrying the might of heaven and earth and embodying all evil, struck directly at Ye Qianqian.

This move was extremely fast, and in Ye Qianqian's current state, she had no way to dodge it.

"Bump!"

Just then, a man's back appeared in front of Ye Qianqian, spreading his arms to block the attack for her.

But the man's lower body was also blasted into dust, leaving only his upper body to crash to the ground.

"Xiao Yan?" Ye Qianqian recognized the man's face after he fell, and scrambled over to him, embracing the Xiao Yan body in her arms. She cried, "Xiao Yan, weren't you gone? Why did you come back? Why did you take that blow for me?"

"Ugh!" Xiao Yan's mouth overflowed with black blood. "Ye Qianqian, I am your creditor. The emotional debt you owe me... I can never... repay it..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Yan died in Ye Qianqian's arms. His bright red blood stained her dress, and against the backdrop of a blood-red setting sun, the scene appeared even more tragic and beautiful.

"The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it's nearing dusk!"

This sunset is today's, but tomorrow's sunset will be something else entirely.

'Do you truly love me, or are you deliberately deceiving me for some ulterior motive?'

"Then I should leave as well. From this day forward, there will be no further contact between us, Your Majesty Misty Cloud Great Emperor."

Xiao Yan's words still seemed to echo in Ye Qianqian's ears.

He knew he had deceived him, so why did he come back?

From that moment on, Ye Qianqian finally understood what love truly meant. She deeply regretted not cherishing her relationship with Xiao Yan back then, and now, though she wanted to get it back, it was too late.

"Ah!"

Ye Qianqian roared loudly, the deaths of her loved ones and Xiao Yan drove her further mad.

"It's painful, isn't it?" Mo Youyou laughed. "One of humanity's greatest weaknesses is emotion. With just a little manipulation, you won't be able to withstand the blow. Fortunately, we demons don't have this kind of burden. You know, your life and death are now entirely in my hands. If I want you to live, you can live a wretched existence; if I want you to die, you will have no chance of survival. All of this is because you value emotions too much."

Ye Qianqian said, "Do you know that in ten seconds, you might die?"

"I'll die?" Mo Youyou laughed loudly. "I'm already at the top of the world, who can kill me?"

"Boom!"

As soon as Mo Youyou finished speaking, a huge spatial black hole appeared in the sky, and thousands of rays of light poured out from the black hole, illuminating the despair and cold darkness and bringing a dawn-like light.

That power brought life to all things and directly dispersed and crushed the surrounding demonic light.

A woman of unparalleled beauty suddenly descended upon the Dou Qi Continent from a spatial black hole.

The woman was serene, standing on the river of history, shrouded in a chaotic mist. Her slender body remained motionless, only her snow-white dress danced in the wind, and her jet-black hair cascaded naturally over her chest and back. She was like an immortal jade sculpture, exquisitely beautiful.

"You, you're a ruthless person?"

Mo Youyou panicked. The woman before her possessed power surpassing even that of the gods. Why would she suddenly appear here?

"Bite"

Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Ruthless Great Emperor Experience Card. Time remaining: 0:10.

The Ruthless Great Emperor defied the heavens and stood at the pinnacle that humanity could reach, looking down on ancient emperors and later emperors, stunning all ages, stronger than the people of the mythological era, and overpowering all the gods.

She could cleave stars and pluck the sun and moon, slaughtering all in the world, unrivaled in the world, the most unfathomable woman in history, her ruthlessness shaking the ages.

Although it only lasted ten seconds, that was enough.

"Kill her!" Ye Qianqian's voice was calm, startling Mo Youyou into breaking out in a cold sweat.

Mo Youyou then remembered that the bodyguard card had always been in Ye Qianqian's possession. She hurriedly activated the system, attempting to completely strip Ye Qianqian of her usage rights.

But at this critical moment, Ye Qianqian shouted again, "Use the system update card!"

With this command issued, the mother-child system connecting Mo Youyou and Ye Qianqian was completely shut down for maintenance.

At the same time, the Ruthless Great Emperor extended a slender, jade-like finger and gently tapped Mo Youyou.

Boom!

A force that even gods and demons couldn't resist struck Mo Youyou directly.

"No!" Mo Youyou screamed in horror. Under this power, her body exploded and she was dead beyond any doubt. However, the residual force did not dissipate. The entire vast planet of the Dou Qi Continent was halved by the Ruthless Great Emperor, and in the vast universe, it looked like a watermelon cut in half.

The death of Mo Youyou and the disappearance of the Ruthless Great Emperor finally brought an end to this catastrophe.

Ye Qianqian sat there blankly, speechless for a long time, on the planet where she was the only one left.

She couldn't understand why things had turned out this way; all the beautiful things she once had were now just a fleeting dream.

What should she do next?

"Bite"

System update complete...

Updated version: 3.0.

Given that the primary system user is deceased, the current system owner is the subsystem user...

"System, now that you've updated, can you resurrect these dead people?" Ye Qianqian asked hopefully.

"Ding, host, you overestimate me. I'm not omnipotent. Everyone is dead now, not even their bodies or souls remain. How can I revive them?"

After the system update, it became more user-friendly. It spoke so much for the first time, as if a real person was talking to her. However, the questions it answered completely extinguished her hopes.

"Hehehe!" Ye Qianqian laugh, and tears of heartache streamed down her face once again.

Yes, there were some things she didn't cherish before, and when she lost them, she wanted to hold on to them, but it was too late.

But at that moment, the system suddenly changed its tone.

"Honorable host, I have a way to bring them back to life."

"Wh... what?" Ye Qianqian was overjoyed, but also had a question. "Didn't you just say you couldn't do anything?"

"Um, well..." the system said, "Actually, I didn't want to tell you this method either, but it's fine as long as you're willing to accept it."

Ye Qianqian "..."

She suddenly felt that this system was acting strangely, as if it was hiding something from her.

However, now that she could revive everyone, she didn't care about anything else.

"I can accept any method of resurrecting everyone."

"Dear host, this system has a new feature after the update: you can uninstall my program and then reinstall it."

After uninstalling the system program, the system will automatically erase everything the host has done, returning you to square one. However, there is a significant price to pay: all your current cultivation and achievements, except for your memories and soul, will disappear. Furthermore, if certain malfunctions occur, your body may also be destroyed by the reversed time. So, you need to think carefully."

Hearing the system's words, Ye Qianqian finally understood that it wasn't about reviving them, but about turning back time little by little.

This is a great idea!

Without a second thought, she chose to uninstall the system and reinstall it, hoping to turn back time and restore the world to its original state as quickly as possible.

"Host, reinstalling takes a long time. Are you sure you want to do this?" the system asked again.

"I'm sure," Ye Qianqian without the slightest hesitation.

"Bite"

System uninstallation in progress; time travel has officially begun.

As the system notification sounded, Ye Qianqian suddenly noticed that the scenery around her was constantly changing.

The fragments kept rewinding.

The planet, which had been half destroyed, was restored to its original state.

Xiao Yan, who had been killed by Mo Youyou, suddenly appeared before them.

All the powerful warriors who had died in battle came back to life.

Ye Qianqian was overjoyed, but the system's time reversal still hadn't stopped, and the scenery around her changed once again.

The Lingxiao City high above the nine heavens, from its appearance to its disappearance, the previously destroyed Jia Nan Academy, and the original Misty Cloud Mountain Range were gradually restored.

Her power was gradually disappearing, and her body began to shrink, eventually returning to the form of a six- or seven-year-old girl.

My body is breaking down.

Ye Qianqian felt her body being worn down little by little in this reversal of time, and she cried out in pain.

"Bite"

The system uninstallation failed, and the host's physical body is about to dissipate.

Bang!

With a loud bang, Ye Qianqian's body suddenly exploded and vanished into the long river of time.

"Dear former host, this system is about to be completely uninstalled. Before it falls into silent hibernation, I will try my best to leave you with some things. This is the last thing I, the System Elf Chuunibyou, can do for you."
