Unifying the World!
Li Yuan seemed to intentionally refrain from killing anyone, whether it was the Insects, the true ancestor, or 009.
Previous psychological attacks were merely a deterrent.
He should have been able to keep the Queen Bee and the True Ancestor in his sights, but Li Yuan did not do so; instead, he let them go.
When only the Insects remained, Li Yuan did not kill them. Instead, he subtly hinted to the Insects to Insects.
Li Yuan's behavior is truly unpredictable; no one knows what he's planning or what his next move will be.
He is like an abyss, the bottom of which can never be seen.
009 walked step by step to Li Yuan, and then, under everyone's gaze, knelt down on the ground with a 'thud'.
"I am willing to pledge allegiance to the Great Emperor!"
"..."
Silence.
The air was deathly silent.
The Chaos Clan looked at each other in disbelief. Was this the 009 they knew?
When did he become so perceptive?
Nairasojin was completely dumbfounded. They all thought that even at this point, 009 was going to jump out and do something reckless.
As a result, he fucking knelt down?
Ah?
009 ignored the bewildered crowd.
If you were to ask him what he learned during his years of being enemies with Bai Ye, it would surely be that a true man knows when to yield and when to stand firm.
Seeing this, Li Yuan was quite surprised. "Everything in the world is changing, and so are people. You have grown up and learned to temper your sharpness, Ninth Prince."
"Hehehe."
Li Yuan let out a meaningful laugh, then with a flick of his wrist, he retrieved Yang Lin's mangled body from the ocean.
Li Yuan threw the Dog Talisman and Horse Talisman at him, and then returned Yang Lin's soul.
"Our deal is over, Meng Qing."
"But I wouldn't mind renewing our deal."
"The Nine-Tailed Fox is in need of a true leader, and I still need the Nine-Tailed Fox to continue working for me."
Meng Qing came to Yang Lin's side, and looking at Yang Lin's healed body and returned soul, his pupils under the mask flashed.
"It is my great honor."
One month later.
The competition has come to an end without any suspense, with only one winner.
With his fifth-order body, Sea King Li Yuan dominated the world, and all the orders submitted to him. Even the few who resisted were imprisoned in the Nine-Tailed Fox's cage.
The Soul-Replaced Bai Ye stepped down, relinquishing the position of Nine-Tailed Fox leader to Meng Qing.
Meng Qing also became an accomplice of Sea King. Chaos Splitter, Hand of the Serpent, Night Watcher, and Nine-Tailed Fox all became Li Yuan's subordinates.
Li Yuan finally achieved his goal of unifying the world. He sat on the throne of power, and all the countries bowed down to him.
However, the era of panic did not end.
Monsters still wreak havoc on humanity; they are the Lord of the Red Flow, the Hydra, the Leviathan, and the Sirens.
They are alien insectoids.
These monsters continue to slaughter humans and cause panic around the world, and the only thing humans can rely on is the Nine-Tailed Fox.
And their guardian deity, Li Yuan.
Everything went exactly as Li Yuan had planned. The monsters would never disappear from the world; they would always linger before people's eyes.
The era of panic will never end, until people get used to it.
The I Ching, which had long seen through everything, simply laughed it off.
The reason he didn't join 009 and the others in attacking Li Yuan was because he had already seen through the truth behind the matter.
This is fate.
Rather than going against the will of Heaven, it is better to go with the flow and live in peace.
But it is undeniable that for the unknown years to come, it will all be the era of Li Yuan.
The world is like a giant stage, and the villains and heroes are all actors arranged by the mastermind.
Seeing the I Ching on his back, the Sword Forger followed.
Where to?
Yi Jing smiled faintly, "A master once said that one should be like water, which becomes a cup when poured into a cup and a bottle when poured into a bottle."
"A sage once said, 'The highest good is like water. Water benefits all things without striving, and dwells in places that others disdain, thus it is close to the Way.'"
"Dwell in a good place, keep your heart deep, be kind to others, speak truthfully, govern justly, be capable in your work, and act at the right time. Only by not contending can one be free from worry."
The Sword Forger listened, somewhat bewildered, as if his old friend, whom he hadn't seen for many years, had somehow figured something out.
"So Sea King is water?"
The I Ching shook its head.
"Wrong."
"He is not water, he is a tsunami."
On the moon, on the O20 computer, Dr. Otto watched everything happening on Earth and gradually fell into deep thought.
"Beyond every conspiracy lies a deeper conspiracy. People are calculating, and so is Heaven. There are always things that people cannot foresee, and there are always things that others can foresee."
"The Sea King's momentum is unstoppable; now we can only temporarily retreat and avoid his sharp edge."
Otto got up. He had wanted 009 to collect the flesh and blood of the various sequences for him, but in the end he only collected the flesh and blood of the Insects.
This is actually a relatively good result.
Otto had refrained from taking action earlier because he was wary of Ye Long. Even after Ye Long was sealed away, he still had reservations. Now it seems that his concerns were justified.
Several months later, inside the 079 Game Space.
A man stood there, stunned, holding a bottle of medicine in his hand, and with a new number on his arm.
Number 0: Game System.
Unlike other series, when he decided to meet with the organizers, Game Space sent him a notice that was tens of thousands of words long.
After reading those announcements, 079 felt like his mind was in complete chaos.
"Os Kate?"
079 turned around as he spoke, only to see the Game Space behind him suddenly shatter!
The shattered space turned into countless glass-like fragments, which gushed out and pierced his chest!
"Ugh!"
079 clutched his chest and knelt on the ground, only to see the Game Space before him completely annihilated.
Everyone was kicked out of the Game Space, and all memories related to the Game Space were erased at this moment!
079 appeared in the outside world. As soon as he looked up, he saw a man standing in front of him!
"Medicine."
The man only said one word, and 079 uncontrollably pulled out the stopper of the medicine and drank it down!
Damn!
079's body vaporized at that moment, instantly transforming into a blue sphere.
Do you recognize me?
Upon hearing the man's words, 079, who had transformed into a blue sphere of light, took a long time to recover. "You are... Lord Aus?"
Chen Ye reached out and grabbed the blue orb of light. "Do you remember what I look like?"
The blue orb of light swayed up and down, as if nodding.
"Very good. Next, I will send you back to the past. Remember the information in your mind and don't forget it."
Go back to the past?
079 was stunned for a moment, "Lord Aus... you, you mean you want me to go back to the past?"
"That's right."
"Why, why?"
Why?
Chen Ye chuckled lightly upon hearing this, "Because I want to have some fun."
"Go ahead, and if my past self asks you why you did this, tell him it was because it was more fun."
Interesting?
Before 079 could think further, Chen Ye directly extracted the other half of the Future Chapter from his own body and handed it over to 079.
But he also did some trickery.
079 himself is unable to use the power of this part of the chapter.
Only Chen Ye himself can extract the power of this part of the chapter.
After saying that, Chen Ye waved his hand and directly activated the power of the Future Chapter, sending 079 to the past.
And the serial number 079 will disappear from this point on.
There will be no more 079 in the future; 079 will only exist in the past.
At the same time, Chen Ye also lost the power of this part of the chapter. His ability to rewind time, accelerate time, and slow down time all disappeared.
But it doesn't matter anymore; entropy is still about ten years away.
Prior to this, Chen Ye had accomplished a groundbreaking feat.
Yes, he ultimately used the power of the Time Chapter to create a very special world.
