Chapter 119: Everything Ends
Chapter 119: Everything Ends
After everything had ended, Jiang Yun stood in silence amidst the void for a moment, his face expressionless as he pondered deeply. Eventually, he decided to leave the emptiness and appeared at the ruins of the Tianyuan Universe, which lay in desolation.
The remnants of the Tianyuan Universe were littered with the corpses of blood ants, members of the Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect, and even some of Jiang Yun's own clones. All the Samsara clones had survived, but only those with Immortal Emperor bodies or higher remained among the regular clones; those with lesser bodies had perished from the energy drain.
All members of the Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect and their families had survived, as had the heads of the sect's peaks. As for the blood ants, only Xue Houyi, the Blood Ant Queen, remained. All other blood ants, from those infected to the royal ants and queens, had died. The blood ants had been the primary energy source Jiang Yun used to summon his future self to help rid himself of Wu Yang's system.
Jiang Yun gazed at those who survived and spoke coldly, "From now on, I will send you and your families to different universes. Some of you might end up in the same universe, but your task is to establish your own power. You may create sects, clans, empires or whatever you wish. Ensure that your followers learn the three core techniques of the Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect, and wait for the time when I summon you all together again. Understood?"
The survivors knelt and shouted in unison, "We will not disappoint you, Sect Master!"
Jiang Yun smiled faintly and pulled out a piece of paper containing names, faces, and details such as special constitutions, techniques cultivated, affiliations, and more. He duplicated the list and handed it to everyone who survived, speaking with a chilling tone, "If you're strong enough, kill them with everything you have."
At his words, everyone remaining responded with unwavering acceptance of Jiang Yun's command.
Jiang Yun smiled slightly and continued, "I have one last gift for you before we part ways."
Jiang Yun retrieved the systems of Zhi Hao, Xue Ting, and Feng Yi, which his future self had extracted earlier, and crushed them into pure spiritual power. The energy rose, powerful and vibrant, and Jiang Yun distributed it to the survivors. This energy uplifted many of their constitutions, some transforming into god bodies—superior to Immortal Emperor bodies. Jiang Yun himself wasn't certain of cultivation levels beyond the Immortal Emperor, as his future self had been preoccupied with more pressing matters.
As Jiang Yun and the others absorbed the energy from the three systems, they felt a continuous, rapid surge of power building within them.
Meanwhile, in the God Universe of Eternal Flame, home exclusively to the Phoenix Clan, Jiang Yun's future self appeared from the void, parts of his body beginning to disintegrate. Grabbing Wu Yang's head, he transformed it into spiritual energy and struck the Divine Universe of Eternal Flame. Suddenly, a voice echoed from the darkness.
"You're as repulsive as ever, my dearest husband!"
The future Jiang Yun laughed softly and looked in the direction of the voice, seeing Feng Yi from the future standing before him. He responded, "You're as radiant as always, my little firebird."
Feng Yi's future self replied, "Little firebird? How I despise that nickname. So, what's your goal here? Why expend so many resources just to meddle with the past, knowing it likely won't change the future outcome at all?"
Jiang Yun gave a slight smile. "You're no longer angry with me about the Path of Divinity?"
Feng Yi laughed, "Angry? There aren't words vile enough to curse you with."
Jiang Yun smiled and asked, "And how is that child?"
Feng Yi's expression turned icy as she replied with sarcasm, "You're really interested in the child now? Forget it. The time of death is approaching quickly. Are you not going to flee?"
Jiang Yun smiled faintly, launching a seal toward the Eternal Flame Universe, which Feng Yi intercepted. They exchanged a brief gaze before both began fading into the dark depths of the universe.
Moments later, a shapeless darkness emanating an ominous and mysterious power arrived at the place Jiang Yun and Feng Yi had stood, searching for something. When it found nothing, it vanished, leaving an unsettling aura in its wake.
In the Eternal Flame Universe, a woman of immeasurable power gazed at the sky with a solemn expression. She murmured, "What kind of power was that...? It's terrifying. When was the last time I felt such danger?" Sensing no further threat, she looked down and muttered, "That's enough of that. I must resurrect my daughter and husband first... and then, I'll exact revenge on that wretch who dared to kill them. I'll make death his fondest wish."
Just then, an elderly man in a thick cloak, one of her closest aides, approached hurriedly, reporting in an anxious tone, "Elder, it's terrible! Our Eternal Flame Universe has been sealed... according to our leader, it may take millions of years to break this seal!"
The woman nodded slightly and replied coldly, "I know... you may leave."
Back in the shattered ruins of the Tianyuan Universe, only silence and rubble remained, along with the survivors—disciples from the Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect and Jiang Yun's Samsara clones. All who survived had received an upgrade in their special constitutions.
The survivors rose together, their eyes shining with power and respect. They turned toward Jiang Yun and bowed in unison. "Thank you, Sect Master!"
With everything arranged and the special constitutions of the disciples, elders, and allied forces enhanced, Jiang Yun smiled in satisfaction and addressed everyone, "Now that everything is in place, it's time for us to part ways. But don't worry about feeling lonely; the sect insignias you carry allow you to communicate across any distance. Additionally, I've uploaded information about your assigned universes into the insignias. Don't let me down."
With those final words, Jiang Yun disappeared into the void. The disciples and elders bowed together. "We won't let you down, Sect Master!"
Afterward, they discussed their assigned universes. Lin Jia asked, "Who else was assigned to the Divine Universe of Pure Ice?"
All Lin clan disciples, including Lin Qingyi, responded in unison, "We were!"
Wang He then asked, "Once we've conquered these universes, what should we do next?"
The guardian elder replied, "You're free to live as you please and wait for the Sect Master's summons. You may go anywhere or help anyone once your own forces have grown strong."
Wang Bai and Wang He exchanged a glance, saying, "Well, we'd best get going!"
Suddenly, Gao Yuan approached Chen Wei, visibly flustered. Stammering, he said, "I... I..."
Everyone watched the two with interest as Gao Yuan's face turned redder than the flames he wielded in battle. Finally, he vanished into the void, and Chen Wei, smiling slightly, followed after him. The others exchanged puzzled glances before departing on their respective missions.
Mo Jun asked Ming Hai and Long Teng, "Which universes did you get?"
Ming Hai replied, "I got the Divine Waters Universe."
Long Teng added, "I got the Dragon Realms. And you?"
Mo Jun smiled, "I got some place called the Nine Heavens Universe. Well, best of luck to you both."
They all exchanged smiles before parting ways. However, before everyone could leave, Chang Qian spoke up.
"Why don't we bet on who..." But before she could finish, everyone had already vanished into the void.
Gong Sun Lei, leading his son away, turned to Chang Qian, "You're too young for this, little girl. Even if I wanted to bet, I wouldn't wager with a known cheater like you."
In the void, Ba Zhi's laughter echoed, "Hah, try another million years, brat!"
Chang Qian smiled mischievously, turning to Chang Ming with pleading eyes. "Brother, are you interested in..."
Chang Ming smiled and declined, "No, let's go do our missions."
Mu Shuyuan dragged Chang Qian along. "We're going to the same universe. Let's go."
Chang Qian's eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "Brother, help! I don't want to catch the nagging plague!"
Mu Ling, Mu Shuyuan's mother, chuckled and pinched Chang Qian's cheek gently. "That's quite a mouth for such a little one."
Chang Qian yelled, "Brother, help! I'll surely die if I have to go with these two jade heads!"
Eventually, Mu Shuyuan took Chang Qian along, followed by the rest of the Mu clan. Chang Ming chuckled and muttered, "Farewell, my dear little sister," before vanishing into the void with the others. Xue Houyi, too, left for the universe assigned to her.
The journey of the disciples and elders of the Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect had begun as each ventured to different universes to build their power, readying themselves for the future.
