Chapter 297 The Tragedy of the World [ ] The End of Fate and the Destruction of the World
—[Past] Land of Revelation—
"How, how could this happen?"
Little Heavenly Dao finally realized something was wrong. He hadn't paid attention for a while (a few decades), so how did the human world suddenly become like this?
The human world today is like hell, with endless natural disasters sweeping across it, leading to the annihilation of all humans and other living beings on this planet.
"This world is headed for destruction." The person inside the crystal remained unmoved, but some cracks appeared on the crystal: "We are not spared either... This is the ending you chose."
"Impossible!" Xiao Tiandao angrily tried to retort, "How could it possibly fail..."
But before Xiaotiandao could finish speaking, his figure gradually became illusory as the human world was destroyed.
"how so!"
"impossible--!"
The world ruler, supported by human faith, has been met with backlash from the very people upon whom it depends for survival.
Those who do evil will eventually reap what they sow.
……
As the Little Heavenly Dao dissipated, the crystal in the main hall shattered, revealing the person sealed inside.
With a long sigh, she opened her pair of purple eyes!
……
—[Past] Wonderland—
The collapse of the fairyland seemed to happen in the instant after the destruction of the human world. The once breathtaking scenery vanished in an instant, trees withered, flowers died, and rocks collapsed... everywhere exuding a sense of desolation.
The fairies who once lived in the same world met their end one by one, passing away painfully in this destined fate.
In just a few days, the once beautiful but now devastated landscape was left only with a sense of sorrow...
Even the once-powerful Saint-level fairies only managed to linger on for a slightly longer period compared to other fairies...
……
—[Past] Four Clocks—
“I always thought that as long as I could rely on time to foresee the future, I could change all the bad endings and make things develop in a good direction, but…” Shi Xi collapsed weakly into Li Hui’s arms, her eyes filled with deep resentment: “I lost…”
"Does time also die...?" Li Hui looked at Shi Xi sadly. He, who always prided himself on being able to predict the future, had probably never seen the future clearly.
Perhaps Yue Yuanming, who confronted him many years ago, was right; they were on the same path—even if the world were to come to an end, they would not perish.
But this isn't the outcome he wanted...
"Since we can't change the future, let's accept it together..." Li Hui said with a sense of relief, stroking Shi Xi's increasingly weak face, whose life was about to come to an end.
The clock stopped ticking, the river of time came to a standstill, and they finally ended that strategic game of chess, a game they couldn't outmaneuver in human nature...
……
—[Past] Forbidden Land—
The destruction of the human world and the collapse of the fairyland have turned this sealed land into a unique paradise.
However, even outside of the fairy realm, the Dharma Images could not escape the same fate as the other fairies, disappearing one by one in this apocalypse.
Yue Yuanming became an absolute bystander. Not being born into the human world, he was naturally unaffected by it, but he felt an indescribable loneliness.
Yes, it's loneliness again.
Flowers bloom and fade, tides rise and fall. This world has been constantly evolving over this long period of time, and has returned to its original desolate state. However, as an observer, he has long been caught up in it, and his state of mind is no longer what it used to be.
Through their connection, Yue Yuanming saw Shui Qingli, who was also in imminent danger by the Clear Water Lake, and a tender look appeared in his eyes:
"Qingli, without you, this world would be meaningless..."
"I can't be your lover, nor do I want to be your enemy anymore. Since things have come to this, let me do one last thing for you."
"I only hope that, if there is an afterlife, I can meet you first again..."
Yue Yuanming quietly closed his eyes and walked peacefully toward the end he had chosen.
At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the only lakeside on that desolate land, and what appeared before his eyes was the image of a blue-haired, blue-eyed water sprite smiling at him amidst the flowing water...
……
Thus, the first playthrough came to an end amidst utter destruction.
