The Imaginary Tree Secretly Left Otto a Monument at the End of Time, but No One Could See It

The scene zooms in. At the heart of the meteor are all the traces left after Otto's collapse. Five hundred years of Sin transformed into a dark red light, five hundred years of loneliness into a deep blue shadow, and five hundred years of obsession into a blazing golden flame... The three lights intertwine and condense into this unique meteor.

"He turned himself..." Xiao Xiao's voice trembled, "Into a shooting star."

"Bearing everything from five hundred years ago..." Tang Ya said, "Let's go and complete the final sacrifice."

In the scene, the golden meteor begins to move. It leaves the spot where Otto disappeared, passes through the Imaginary Space, and flies towards the Imaginary Tree.

The speed is getting faster and faster.

The trajectory is getting brighter.

"It wants to..." Niu Tian's eyes widened.

The meteor hurtled towards the trunk of the Imaginary Tree, towards the vortex that devoured sacrifices, towards the source of the light of creation...

Boom...!

A deafening roar shook the entire Sea of Quanta.

A golden meteor crashed into the Imaginary Tree, unleashing a blinding light. The light was more dazzling than the radiance of creation, more intense than the flames of the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment, turning the entire Imaginary Space into a golden ocean.

"He sacrificed himself..." Tai Tan murmured.

"Completely sacrificed," Ning Rongrong said, her eyes reddening, "Even the last trace of its existence..."

Scene change.

On the trunk of the Imaginary Tree, the vortex that had been devouring sacrifices suddenly swelled. Golden light erupted from the vortex, spreading upwards along the trunk, flowing into the Tree Canopy, and into the newly sprouted golden branch...

"The power of the meteor is supplying the new world," Ning Tian said.

"Otto's existence..." Dai Hao said in a deep voice, "Is becoming the foundation of that world."

The image splits into two parts.

To the left lies the Imaginary Space. After the golden meteor struck the Imaginary Tree, its light gradually dimmed and eventually vanished completely... leaving not a single speck of light behind. All traces of Otto were erased from the Sea of Quanta at this moment.

To the right is a sphere of light from New World Line. That world is rapidly taking shape; the land, the ocean, the sky, the cities... everything is being born in golden light. And on the Execution Ground of that world, Kallen opens her eyes.

"She is alive," said Xue Ye.

"Because Otto..." Tang San said, "Disappeared completely."

The scene shifts again, returning to the Imaginary Space.

There was nothing there anymore.

The golden meteor vanished, the light of creation extinguished, and even the projection of the Imaginary Tree slowly faded. Only the lingering warmth in the Void remained, like a final testament...

Someone has been here before.

Someone once sacrificed everything.

But now, nothing is left.

"Otto Apocalypse..." Huo Yuhao murmured the name, "From today onwards, this name..."

"... will not exist on any Timeline," Tang Wulin continued.

"No one remembers him, no history is recorded about him, even the Imaginary Tree..." Gu Yuena looked at the giant tree that still stood silently in the Light Screen, "It will only record 'someone sacrificed,' but will not leave his name."

"Completely..." Longbow Wei said, "Erase."

In the scene, the Imaginary Space is shrouded in deathly silence.

Just when everyone thought it was all over, a faint light suddenly flickered in the Void.

"That is..." Lei Xiang suddenly looked up.

The Light Screen zoomed in. Deep in the Void, where Otto had disappeared, a golden speck of light still drifted. It was so small, almost invisible, like a forgotten speck of dust.

But it does exist.

"There's still one glimmer of light..." A'Dai held his breath.

The speck of light drifted slowly toward the Imaginary Tree, merging into the deepest part of the trunk... a place no one could see.

The scene suddenly shifts to the interior of the Imaginary Tree.

Deep within the tree trunk, at the end of time, in a place beyond the reach of even the light of creation... the golden speck of light came to a stop.

It started to glow.

In the faint golden light, a line of blurry text appeared:

[Sacrificer: Otto Apocalypse]

[Sacrifice Contents: Five hundred years of Sin, five hundred years of loneliness, five hundred years of obsession, existence itself]

[Sacrifice Result: New World Line ' Kallen Did Not Die ' is born]

[Note: This is the only time the Imaginary Tree has completely accepted human sacrifices.]

The words flickered for a moment, then were swallowed up by the darkness deep within the tree trunk and completely hidden.

"The Imaginary Tree..." Hai Long murmured, "... left a record."

"But that record..." Tian Hen said, "At the end of time, no one will be able to see it."

"So in the end..." Ye Yinzhu said, "Otto was still alone, completing all of this in solitude, and then alone..."

"... Forgotten by the world," Zi said.

Within the Light Screen, the image returns to the Imaginary Space.

Peace has returned to the place. The traces of creation have vanished, the light of sacrifice has been extinguished, and even the last glimmer of light has disappeared without a trace.

The Imaginary Tree stood silently, Tree Canopy golden branches radiating a soft light... It was the light of the new world, the possibility that "Kallen Did Not Die."

But in order for that light to be born, one person completely disappeared.

"A five-hundred-year obsession..." Ji Dong murmured.

"To become a shooting star..." said Lie Yan.

"Bearing Sin, loneliness, and obsession..." Rong Nianbing said.

"In the end..." Zhou Weiqing said, "It brought about the birth of a world, and my own..."

"... Does not exist," said the Dragon God.

In the Light Screen, a line of golden words slowly appeared:

[Otto Apocalypse]

[By extinct itself, a new World Lines is born]

[Five hundred years of Sin, loneliness, and obsession]

[Transformed into a golden shooting star]

[From then on...]

[No trace left]

The words lingered for a moment, then vanished as specks of light.

The Light Screen went completely dark.

After a long silence, the Dragon Prince finally broke it:

"Is this... the ending he wanted?"

"Kallen lives, the world goes on, but he..." Bei Bei said, "Disappeared completely."

"Not even the last trace will be left," He Caitou said.

"Because he knows..." Xu Sanshi said, "If any trace is left, Kallen will one day discover the truth, and she will know how many people died and how many worlds collapsed in order to save her."

"So he chose..." Xiao Xiao said, "To disappear completely."

"Let Kallen believe it was all a miracle, all an arrangement of fate..." Tang Ya said, "So that she wouldn't carry the burden of guilt, wouldn't carry the burden of pain."

"You are free..." Niu Tian said, "To live."

A long silence fell over the air.

The Light Screen suddenly lit up again, and everyone was still immersed in the shock of the golden meteor disappearing, not yet fully recovered.

"It's not over yet?" Bei Bei was stunned.

The perspective suddenly shifts... leaping from Imaginary Space to another time and space.

That was five hundred years ago.

The Execution Ground of the Schicksal Organization.

Everyone held their breath instantly.

"That was..." Tang San's pupils constricted sharply, "... the moment when Kallen was executed!"

The scene freezes at the most crucial moment... The Collapse Beast's claws pierce through Kallen's abdomen, blood spurting from the wound and forming a crimson arc in the air. Behind Kallen, the Little Girl's face still bears a look of terror, her mouth open, as if she is about to scream.

But the next second...

The whole world stood still.

"What?!" Huo Yuhao stood up abruptly.
