39: Cutting off the cause and effect, she turned against Tiangang and said: This world is not worthy of my saving!

Great Xia Country.

First People's Hospital, within the delivery room.

Invisible fear enveloped the warmth of the newborn.

“Wah—!!!”

A baby's cry.

It carried no purity of life.

Instead, it was filled with heart-pounding malice and hatred.

The nurse delivering the baby trembled all over.

She nearly dropped the infant in her arms.

She saw in horror.

That newborn infant.

Had opened a pair of eyes that did not belong to him.

Eyes filled with endless malevolence.

Those eyes.

Were staring fixedly at his “mother.”

As if cursing her.

For bringing him into this damned world.

At the same time.

On the peak of Kunlun Mountain.

Deep within a cave protected by ninety-nine layers of restrictions.

An ancient ancestor, a peak third-tier powerhouse with a vast aura, had been in seclusion for five hundred years.

He was hailed as the “second strongest person in the human race.”

He suddenly opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of golden blood!

“Pfft—!”

His face was filled with shock and disbelief.

“How is this possible… The Great Dao… is wailing? Why has the world's spiritual energy… become so thin and turbid!?”

He perceived.

That path he had pursued his entire life.

The “Path to Ascension” that he was “just” one step away from entering.

Was visibly and rapidly.

Becoming blurry, dim, until it completely disappeared!

The sky had changed.

This world.

Had already entered the Era of Dharma Decline, with spiritual energy waning.

And the Great Dao collapsing!

On the other side of the world.

A bustling city.

On the street.

A man in a suit.

Simply because a hurried passerby brushed his shoulder.

An unprovoked rage surged in his eyes.

He pulled a fruit knife from his briefcase and frantically stabbed the other person in the back.

In a warm family home.

One second.

A couple was full of tender affection.

The next second.

They were hysterically arguing over a trivial matter like “what to eat for dinner.”

Eventually escalating into a bloody domestic dispute.

In schools, online, in offices… Suspicion, jealousy, anger, violence… These “evils” suppressed in the deepest parts of human nature.

Were like Pandora's Box being opened.

Spreading wildly without warning in every corner of the world!

The “original sin” that Su Ke Ke once bore alone.

Now.

Was fairly distributed to every living being.

The era of all beings sinking into depravity had just begun… Su Ke Ke, holding Zhang Wei.

And preparing to leave the Ancestral Dragon Court starfield.

Saw a series of images in her mind.

In the images, there was an orphanage in Jiangcheng.

It was where she grew up.

The elderly Dean's grandmother.

Was kindly distributing candies to the children.

Suddenly, a man who had just committed murder on the street.

His mind completely corrupted by malice, rushed in with a weapon.

A sinister grin on his face.

He swung his butcher's knife at those innocent children!

The scene shifted.

The bakery owner who had once given her half a warm bun on a cold winter night.

Who had been kind and done good deeds his entire life.

Was, along with his family, tied up by a gambler whose mindset had been twisted after bankruptcy.

The gambler poured out buckets of gasoline, laughing as he pressed the lighter.

One by one, past beauties were about to be destroyed before her eyes.

A grand, cold, emotionless.

Will, full of hypocrisy and majesty.

Resounded from the depths of her soul.

【Look.】

【This is the price of your choice of “freedom.”】

【Your departure leaves the world's sins unborne, and all beings are consequently sinking into depravity.】

【Return, Su Ke Ke.】

【Return to your place as a 'sacrifice,' and use your suffering to quell the evil in this world.】

【Their lives and deaths, their joys and sorrows, are all within your single thought.】

【Do you have the heart to watch all of this happen because of you?】

This was blatant moral blackmail!

It was using the suffering of all beings to force her to put on shackles again!

The world's will, this most ruthless collection of rules.

Was now playing the role of “savior,” attempting to crush her personal will with “righteousness.”

Inside the live stream, the audience from the Multiverse fell silent.

This was an unsolvable open conspiracy.

If it were an ordinary protagonist, facing the choice between “small self” and “large self.”

They would probably be in tears by now, lost in endless pain and self-reproach.

However.

Su Ke Ke's reaction astonished everyone in the live stream.

She smiled.

Yes, she smiled.

“To nourish you with my flesh and blood, to repair you with my soul, to prolong your lingering life with my endless suffering…”

Her voice.

Like the sharpest knife, pierced through that facade of compassion.

“Now, you tell me, this is my responsibility?”

The moment her words fell.

She couldn't be bothered to look at those tragedies again.

The scythe of the eternal elegy behind her let out a soft hum.

The invisible authority of disaster transcended time and space!

The madman who rushed into the orphanage suddenly froze.

His “thread of fate” was severed at its root.

His entire being disintegrated into fundamental particles; he died.

The arsonist gambler.

Just a second before igniting the gasoline.

His heart was crushed by an invisible force; he died.

Su Ke Ke held her dear friend in one arm.

And loosely gripped the Scythe of Disaster in the other.

Like a Valkyrie wielding the end of all things.

With decisive action.

She gave the world's will's moral blackmail the loudest possible answer.

I will save the innocent I want to save.

But, never at the cost of my freedom!

Your tactics are useless against me!

“Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful!”

Gu Jianghan's “clapping” “sound” reverberated throughout the entire Sea of Concepts.

Su Ke Ke held the weak Zhang Wei in her arms, oblivious to everything around her.

The wailing of the world, the collapse of laws, the madness of all beings… Yes, she saw it, she heard it.

This world.

Having lost her, the “sacrifice” used to neutralize “original sin.”

Was slowly heading towards death.

But what of it?

“Ke Ke…”

Zhang Wei leaned against her.

Anxiously watching the cracked starry sky, like shattered glass.

“Is this world… like this because of us…? Should we… save it?”

Hearing this question.

She gently stroked Zhang Wei's hair.

Her gaze swept over the The galaxy about to be destroyed (impending destruction of the galaxy), her voice calm.

Containing an unquestionable supreme will:

“Save it?”

“Wei Wei, listen.”

“The peace of this world was bought with the pain of my endless reincarnations. Every inch of its land, every wisp of its air, is soaked with my blood and tears.”

“It does not deserve my salvation.”

“From today onwards, its birth and destruction, its prosperity and decay, have nothing to do with me, Su Ke Ke!”

“In my world, there is only you.”

The moment her words fell.

The monstrous killing intent born from her revenge completely receded.

Replaced by.

An absolute “self” that severed all karma.

And transcended all things!

She was no longer the world's sacrifice, no longer a tool for revenge.

She was simply Su Ke Ke.

Inside the live stream.

Hundreds of millions of viewers were speechless.

Then erupted in thunderous applause!

This was the ending they wanted to see!

Not bound by any moral blackmail, not burdened by any greater good!

Dispensing justice as she pleased, living only for herself!

...In the Sea of Concepts.

“Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!”

Gu Jianghan praised repeatedly, his “eyes” full of appreciation.

This was the script he most wanted to see.

A perfect tragedy.

Its ending should not be a cliché “saving the world” scenario.

But rather, the hero, after achieving self-salvation.

Giving the already decaying old world the most magnificent funeral.

Su Ke Ke's choice perfectly interpreted the aesthetic beauty of this tragedy.
