Parting

Before the final battle, a special guest visited Bai Mo's room on the Argo.

Tezcatlipoca appeared on the chair at some point, while on the other side, Bai Mo had just finished practicing his Sky Explosive Fist.

"Is there something you need, Tezcatlipoca?"

"It's nothing. I just came here to ask a question. I'll leave after I ask, because it's very impolite to disturb warriors before the final battle."

Bai Mo did not refuse, but simply sat cross-legged, circulating the Ryougi Lataib while listening to his words.

Tezcatlipoca asked somewhat solemnly, "I just want to know, what are your plans after this battle is over?"

Bai Mo laughed and said, "Isn't it too early to talk about this now? Besides, are you so sure I can win?"

The Tezcatlipoca gazed intently at Bai Mo, and slowly said, "Originally, I shouldn't have cared about these things, perhaps because of my pantheon. Ever since you learned about that woman's situation, I've sensed that you seem to have made a decision."

The woman mentioned in the Tezcatlipoca is Shiki. After the battle with Mifune, Shiki created another body to transfer the personality of the external Shiki Ryougi and gave her a new pair of Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

After doing all this, she seemed to fall asleep, waiting patiently for fate to unfold with anticipation.

Then, when Bai Mo learned about Shi's situation, an idea involuntarily came to his mind.

The world is now severely polluted, and over 90% of humanity has perished. Even if we ultimately win, we cannot bring back those who died in this disaster; restoring the world's environment to normal is the best we can do.

However, Shi's intelligence gave Bai Mo another option: a way to bring back those innocent people who had died and completely quell the disaster.

How could I possibly refuse?

Bai Mo's eyes were filled with determination as he calmly said, "Since you've already sensed my decision, why bother confirming it with me?"

Tezcatlipoca laughed and slowly said, "Really? I guessed right. I'm really lucky to witness this grand ending."

To gain something, you must first give something. You are greedy, and therefore the price you have to pay is enormous, but I admire that; people need to be greedy to make progress.

Therefore, in the end, only by surpassing the power of 750,000 horses could one completely overwhelm the opponent. With this determination, Bai Mo broke through the limits of this body, and the Sea Tiger Exploding Fist of 800,000 horses seized the heart that could save the world and save everything!

Back to the present.

Bai Mo instantly arrived in a room where Shi, who had lost his eyes, stood before him. At this moment, the Supreme Heavenly King finally understood Bai Mo's thoughts. He was stunned and completely unable to comprehend why he had done this.

Shi seemed to sense Bai Mo's arrival, and still spoke in a gentle tone, "Greetings, I never expected we'd meet again. But perhaps you shouldn't be here now? If you don't heal your injuries, you might not make it."

She didn't care at all that her body was about to die from nuclear radiation. Bai Mo looked at the familiar face and quickly came to her side.

Countless superstars pleaded desperately, like employees burdened with huge debts and about to be laid off:

"Dad, ancestors, what are you doing this for! Don't do this, it's not worth it! Calm down, calm down, we can talk, how about giving me eight hours a day? Think about your future, think about your dreams, don't give up, Bai Mo!"

I don't want to die!

Bai Wunan watched the system not far away, powerless to do anything but watch helplessly as everything unfolded. With this in mind, Bai Mo slowly spoke:

"Shi, I hope you'll remember what I'm about to say."

As he spoke, Bai Mo placed the heart in his right hand into Shi's body. The original body had been modified by the system, leaving a huge hole in the heart area. Now, a heart was placed into that hole.

Magnetic Field Rotation Cellular Regeneration.

A powerful force appeared here, warm and comforting. Shi's eyes were restored by this force, and she looked at Bai Mo with unimaginable eyes. She couldn't understand it, but the words she heard began to change her heart.

"This world is terrible, but it's also wonderful."

I came here, walked through this world, met comrades who fought alongside me, kings who spoke of their ideals, and many ordinary yet extraordinary people.

It would be a real shame if you couldn't understand these things. In your eyes, you know everything yet have no interest in it, and cannot comprehend the emotions involved. Perhaps that's why you're interested in me, an outsider."

Buried within this heart is the Source of Power, and now, guided by Bai Mo, this power is merging with the soul before him. Shi opened his eyes wide, unable to comprehend, only able to feel the heart slowly beating, accompanied by a strange sensation.

I can sense that you are a kind person, and when you love this world, it will treat you gently in return. I hope this final gift of mine can make your dreams come true.

Let's restore this world to its original state. Then you'll surely be able to feel those precious things that have always existed but you've never truly appreciated.

With his last strength, Bai Mo gave the heart to Shi. After completing this, he seemed to finally feel relieved and closed his eyes.

"Croak, no!" the Supreme Heavenly King cried out, frantically trying to escape this body, but he had used his last bit of strength to enter Bai Mo's body, so how could he leave?

I must survive! A miracle seemed to have happened. A black Primordial Spirit detached from Bai Mo's body. At this moment, he was overjoyed and almost bursting with happiness. The thrill of escaping death made him not immediately realize that this miracle was man-made.

By the time he realized what was happening, Shi grabbed his Primordial Spirit. Shi, who had always been gentle and devoid of any emotion in his eyes, now exuded a strong will, anger, intense anger.

The Supreme Heavenly King looked at Shi Na's tearful eyes, filled with pain and anger. At this moment, the Supreme Heavenly King didn't know what to say. Because he wanted to live no matter what, he blurted out this sentence without thinking.

Would you feel better if I apologized?

The next moment, the soul of the Supreme Heavenly King was completely annihilated. The "raw material" used for his soul was a product of this world, which, in Shiki's eyes, was something that could be killed or taken at will.

As if she had only accomplished a trivial task, she staggered forward, her knees buckled, and she collapsed to her knees. At this moment, Bai Mo's body began to gradually disintegrate into fragments.

"No, don't do this, I can help you fix it." As long as she exists in this world, she can do anything. She is part of the Vortex of the Root; Earth, the universe, destiny—everything is within her control and can be changed.

She can change the world, cleanse the Dahai, make the sky blue, and bring the dead back to life.

But she can't do it now; she can't save this broken outsider's soul. Even if she rebuilds this body, it will immediately collapse.

Tezcatlipoca had arrived here at some unknown time, and looking at the scene before him, he was filled with emotion. In Aztec mythology, if the sun were to rise, there had to be a sacrifice of leaping into the fire. As the chief god of Aztec mythology, he silently watched this sacrifice.

He succeeded, he achieved victory, but he also paid a price. The omniscient and omnipotent Shiki, her essence had now changed. Having obtained the Magnetic Field Power, she would observe the world from a completely new perspective, and this time, she no longer knew everything.

"No longer omniscient and omnipotent, she now encounters a completely new destiny simply by taking a step. What a fortunate woman," Tezcatlipoca slowly spoke. Yes, now she can fully experience the unknown—isn't this what she has always longed for but could never have?

"Yes... but this is so strange, what's wrong with me? It hurts so much, it's so painful..." Tears fell onto Bai Mo's cheeks, her life force almost completely gone. No matter how hard Shi tried, he couldn't save this soul from beyond the heavens.

"Is this strange? To be given is a blessing, is love. It is only natural for humans to grieve and weep when they see someone who has treated them this way die." Tezcatlipoca spoke slowly, gazing at everything before him like a pastor, yet it was impossible to tell whether he was attending a wedding or a funeral.
