[The livestream screen hung high in the heavens, the entire display flooded with golden light, and the comments exploded.]
[Current time in Douluo: the third day after the great war ended.]
[Viewers in the livestream: 7.96 billion.]
[Current trending topics: #Li Xuan's God-Sealing #The Divine Realm's Complete Destruction #Douluo's New Era #End Preview.]
The azure sky had been cleansed of dust, and the smoke filling the heavens had completely dispersed.
After two world-ending wars—the destruction and revival of the gods, and the Dark Cataclysm—the Douluo Continent was now so quiet that it made hearts tremble.
Mountains and rivers had been reshaped, the earth's veins churned, and vegetation grew wildly. Land once blackened by Divine Blood sprouted fresh green grass again, severed rivers resumed their flow, shattered cities were gradually rebuilt, and the air no longer carried even a trace of dark decay or sacred coldness.
The entire continent had come back to life.
Longevity Sect, above the sea of clouds.
Li Xuan's white robes hung loosely as the faint golden Origin light around him slowly withdrew.
He had just used his power as the Plane Sovereign to forcibly drive away the dark Chaos and seal every void rift. At this moment, the young man's features were cool and indifferent, without the slightest hint of ostentation, as though that God-Sealing feat that had shaken the heavens had merely been done in passing.
The system panel popped up coldly, its information clear and orderly.
[Current Shock Points balance: 482,400,000.] [Plane rating: Perfect Mid-Level Plane (permanently sealed).] [Dark threats: completely eliminated.] [Divine Realm remnants: zero survivors.] [Sky Screen authorization: final episode, about to close.]
The silver-white livestream screen hanging high in the nine heavens did not disappear immediately.
The entire sky glowed with a soft white light, and everyone understood—
This was the Sky Screen's final livestream.
There would be no fierce battles, no cruel judgments, and no hidden revelations.
On the screen, only a line of pale white words slowly appeared, calm yet so heavy that it stopped billions from breathing.
[Final livestream: When the curtain falls, all beings shall know eternal peace.] [This Sky Screen livestream ends here.] [From this day forward, there will be no Sky Screen, no reviews, no god's-eye view.] [Your fates are returned to your own hands.]
Just four short lines instantly blew apart the comments across the entire web.
Before their screens, billions of viewers erupted. Dense comments filled the entire Sky Screen in a second, even blocking out its light.
[—It's over? The Sky Screen is going away?] [I haven't seen enough yet! I want to watch Boss Li Xuan crush Chaos beasts!] [I'm crying so hard. I've followed the Sky Screen Review my whole life, and today it's truly ending.] [Looking back, I thought the Sky Screen was a disaster at first. I never expected it to be salvation.] [From exposing the gods' lies, to the God-Slaying War, to the Dark Cataclysm... we watched Douluo come back to life.] [Without the Sky Screen, who will tell us the truth in the future? Who will protect the continent?]
Panic, reluctance, bitterness, gratitude.
Billions of humans, Soul Beasts, and Sea Clan members all raised their heads to gaze at that silver-white screen.
Ever since the Sky Screen descended, everyone had grown accustomed to foreseeing danger, seeing through false conspiracies, and recognizing the gods' ugliness.
And now, the Sky Screen was leaving.
Spirit City.
Bibi Dong stood quietly atop the Papal Palace, her dark eyes fixed upon the screen in the sky.
She had once borne a curse, been toyed with by gods, and lived a miserable life. It was the Sky Screen that had torn open the lies, allowed her to see the Divine Realm's true face, broken her shackles, and brought her to the realm of a True God.
She raised a hand and lightly touched the empty air, murmuring softly, "Thank you, Sky Screen. Thank you, Li Xuan."
Below her, hundreds of millions of Spirit City citizens bent at the waist together in a respectful salute.
Sea God Island.
Bo Saixi stood upon the sea, the ocean wind stirring her silver hair.
The entire Sea Clan emerged from the waters, densely covering the ocean without making a single sound.
The Sea Clan had been enslaved by gods for generations. Now that they had regained freedom, all of them understood—
The Sky Screen had given them the chance to see the truth, and the white-robed youth had given them a future in which they could survive.
Clear Sky Sect.
Tang Chen gripped the Ancient Warhammer, his aged eyes slightly red.
He had been imprisoned by the Asura God for a hundred years and had seen through the gods' cruelty. Now, martial cultivation flourished, and every mortal could cultivate. This was the prosperous age Prehistoric Civilization should have possessed.
"The prosperous age has arrived. Having accomplished his task, he withdraws."
"The Sovereign is benevolent and righteous, peerless through all ages."
Star Dou Great Forest.
Di Tian led every Soul Beast in prostrating themselves upon the ground, their enormous golden beast eyes gazing toward the sea of clouds.
Soul Beasts were no longer hunted, their bloodlines were no longer shackled, and humans and beasts coexisted peacefully.
Tens of millions of years of hatred had vanished like smoke. This was a perfect ending the Soul Beast race had never dared to hope for.
The Sky Screen's image slowly shifted and began playing its final review.
There was no narration and no explanation.
Scene after scene played silently.
At the very beginning, the Sky Screen had first appeared and exposed Tang San's hypocritical nature.
Then, it tore apart the Divine Realm's deception and revealed the truth of planes being raised like livestock.
After that, the Longevity Sect emerged, and the white-robed youth made his first appearance.
The God-Slaying War: swordsmen slew gods, Dragon Soul Subdues Demons.
The gods fell, and Divine Blood stained the heavens red.
The Ancient Core Secret revealed Prehistoric Civilization.
Darkness invaded, and the allied armies of countless worlds defended to the death in blood.
At last, the earth awakened, Origin God-Sealing began, and white robes suppressed the heavens.
In just a few dozen frames, they watched through Douluo's ancient suffering and rebirth.
The comments across the web completely broke down in tears.
[Looking back, we really suffered too much.] [Raised like livestock by gods, slaughtered by people, watched by darkness.] [If not for Li Xuan, this continent would have been utterly finished long ago.] [He never wanted fame, offerings, or believers.] [White robes unstained by blood, protecting all living beings alone.] [There could be no better Sovereign in this world.]
A remote Barren Mountain.
Tang San sat alone on a cold rock, slowly raising his clouded eyes to watch the Sky Screen replay.
He watched his former self, once glamorous and blessed by fortune.
He watched himself plunder again and again, scheme again and again, betray again and again.
He watched all living beings fight desperately to protect the continent while he remained selfish and vile forever.
Then the image froze—
It froze upon that cool, indifferent figure in white atop the sea of clouds.
Two trails of murky tears silently slid down his face.
He had nothing left. Burdened with sin, he had been permanently imprisoned on Barren Mountain.
The prosperous age did not belong to him. Light did not belong to him. Freedom did not belong to him.
Everyone across the continent had been reborn, except him. He would remain forever trapped in darkness and mire.
"I... lost."
The two hoarse words scattered into the wind, unheard by anyone.
A grassy clearing in the woods.
Xiao Wu stood quietly, her clear eyes watching the Sky Screen's final image.
All past obsessions had been severed, and all love and hatred had faded away.
She gently bent at the waist and gave a deep bow toward the sea of clouds.
She thanked the Sky Screen for awakening the world and thanked the white-robed youth for saving the continent.
From this day onward, she would be nothing more than an ordinary Soul Beast, living peacefully upon this free land.
Cloudsea Main Peak.
Li Xuan raised his eyes and gazed at the countless white comments filling the sky.
His expression remained indifferent, without emotion or a smile.
He merely raised his hand lightly.
Buzz—
The silver-white screen across the sky began to fade slowly.
Its dazzling white light gently dispersed, and countless comments gradually turned transparent and vanished.
Billions of people held their breath and watched. No one spoke.
Before the screen completely dimmed, a final line of golden words was imprinted upon the heavens, remaining forever.
[Longevity without death, the sea of clouds enduring forever.] [I protected Douluo for a journey; may Douluo know peace for all ages.] [From this parting onward, there shall be no Sky Screen in this world.] [May all beings save themselves, and may all things go well.]
The words vanished, and the screen went dark.
The livestream Sky Screen that had hung over Douluo's heavens for countless years finally disappeared.
The sky returned to its pure, clean blue, without special effects, subtitles, or comments.
Everything returned to calm.
Li Xuan's white robes fluttered lightly as his gaze swept across the vast mountains and rivers below.
For the final time, the system reorganized its information.
[Ding! All Sky Screen livestream missions have been completed.] [Total viewers: 11.4 billion.] [Peak simultaneous viewers: 9.3 billion.] [Final evaluation: Perfect livestream, salvation of one world.] [Reward settlement: Permanent Protection Authorization. Douluo shall permanently shelter the host.]
Li Xuan spoke softly, his gentle voice spreading across the continent.
"After I leave, seal the plane."
"No outsiders from beyond the heavens may spy upon it, no foreign races may disturb it."
"All beings are equal; every person shall be like a dragon."
"This world shall know eternal peace."
As his words fell, the sea of clouds churned.
The youth's white-robed figure gradually became transparent and faded away.
There was no earth-shaking phenomenon, no burst of radiance.
Like wind blowing across the sea of clouds, he quietly returned to nothingness.
At the summit above the clouds, no one remained.
The entire continent fell silent for several seconds.
Then, in the next moment, cheers, sobs, and cries of thanks surged like mountains and tsunamis, resounding through the four seas and eight wilds.
Everyone faced the Longevity Sect and knelt deeply.
Mountains and rivers bowed their heads; all living beings kowtowed.
Deep within the clouds, a faint glimmer of white robes hid within the void.
Li Xuan had not left Douluo. He had merely concealed himself within the sea of clouds, becoming the guardian spirit of this land.
He would no longer appear in the world or interfere with mortal affairs.
He quietly watched the continent he had saved remain peaceful year after year and prosper for eternity.
A gray system notification silently appeared.
[Hidden preview (not livestreamed or displayed publicly)] [Next chapter: A prosperous age for mortals, coexistence among all races.] [Though the Sky Screen has vanished, its legend shall endure forever.] [Douluo begins its true era of freedom.]
