40: Moral kidnapping, the darkest choice, hilarious, just watch how she wanders the heavens!

The world's will still refused to give up.

All the scenes of catastrophe once again appeared in Su Ke Ke's mind.

"Look."

The world's will's voice rang out.

A scene unfolded before her.

Great Xia Country had lost order.

Cities were without the protection of barriers and spiritual energy.

Inside a darkened room, a mother and child were surrounded by eerie shadows.

The mother desperately clutched her child, who was slowly ceasing to breathe, letting out heart-wrenching cries.

"Your freedom comes at the cost of their lives."

The scene shifted.

It was the most prosperous city and the most beautiful cherry blossom avenue in Su Ke Ke's memory.

At this moment, tall buildings were collapsing, the earth was cracking, and countless people were turning into dust amidst their wails.

"Everything you cherish is being destroyed by your selfishness."

The world's will's voice was filled with the meaning of divine judgment.

"Come back, my child. Return to your rightful place."

"As long as you become a 'sacrifice' again and continue to bear the world's 'Original Sin,' all of this can still be salvaged."

Su Ke Ke fell silent.

Zhang Wei, in her arms, also began to grow cold, her life force rapidly ebbing away.

"Look, even the person you most want to save is dying because of your actions. Her life has long been integrated with this world."

"If the world lives, she lives. If the world dies, she will surely perish."

"Su Ke Ke, this is my last chance for you."

"Will you choose for one person to attain the Dao while all beings are buried with them, or will you choose to sacrifice yourself to save everyone?"

This was naked moral blackmail, using the entire world as a bargaining chip!

It was forcing Su Ke Ke to deny herself, forcing her to admit that her resistance was a mistake!

Facing this shameless questioning, and facing her gradually chilling best friend in her arms, Su Ke Ke slowly raised her head.

Her face showed none of the pain, struggle, or remorse the world's will had expected.

There was only a deathly calm.

"You threaten me with the beings I once protected."

"You blackmail me with my most cherished best friend."

She spoke softly, as if stating a fact unrelated to herself.

The next second, the scythe of the eternal elegy in her hand was slowly raised, its dark blade pointing directly at the sky.

She intended to sever this starry sky, along with the invisible world's will!

Her voice resounded throughout the star domain.

"You... got one thing wrong."

"A world that needs to devour the flesh and blood of its own daughter to barely survive..."

"—has no value in existing!"

"You are not my mother; you are just a cage that imprisoned me, a... pigsty that fed me!"

"Now, the sentence is served!"

"From today onwards! My destiny will only be held by me!"

"If this starry sky, this earth, cannot tolerate me, I will shatter it!"

"If this Heavenly Dao, this fate, wants me to enter reincarnation again, I will... defy this Heaven and sever this so-called fate!!!"

Boom—!!!

Her words became law!

The laws of the entire Cradle of Original Sin world, at this moment, let out an even more mournful wail!

Not only did she not yield, but she, from an even higher position, delivered the final "judgment" upon the world that birthed her!

Zhang Wei in her arms was startled by her words and opened her eyes wide, asking tremblingly, "Ke Ke... what... what are you going to do? Are you... going to destroy our home?"

Su Ke Ke lowered her head and looked at her best friend's pale face.

The cold killing intent in her eyes instantly transformed into endless tenderness.

She gently stroked Zhang Wei's hair and said, word by word, "No, Wei Wei, I won't destroy it."

"I'm going to... give it a new 'Heaven'!"

Facing the so-called "Doomsday Monarch" that was gathering the world's evil and about to be born, Su Ke Ke's face showed no ripple.

In her eyes, this was merely a dying world's last desperate card, a clown, played in despair.

Entangling with it?

No, she had more important things to do.

She wanted to take Zhang Wei home.

Then, take their home, and leave this disgusting place forever!

"Rise!"

A soft shout escaped Su Ke Ke's lips.

Her words became law!

The 12th-tier authority of calamity transformed into an unparalleled power that could pry open the entire world!

Using the Great Xia Country's Dragon Seal as a coordinate and her own divine authority as a lever, she began to execute an unprecedented and astonishing feat.

She was going to take her only best friend, along with the homeland that birthed her, and completely flee, wandering through the myriad heavens!

Rumble—!!!

The planet trembled.

The continental plates groaned under the strain.

The chains of law encircling the planet were forcibly snapped one by one by an even stronger power!

It was anxious, it was in a hurry.

The world's will of the Cradle of Original Sin was anxious.

It tasted the flavor called fear!

It wasn't afraid of destruction, not afraid of the apocalypse.

But it was afraid of Su Ke Ke running away with Blue Star!

Because Blue Star was the original "base point" of this world.

It was the source of "Original Sin" and the "foundation" upon which the entire world existed!

Once it was pulled away, this world wouldn't even wait for the birth of the Doomsday Monarch.

It would instantly collapse into a void singularity!

—"Edict!!!"

An ineffable primordial will transformed into golden law imprints, piercing through the entire plane, appearing deep within all true spirits of Tier 11 and above!

"The source of all evil, the daughter of calamity, attempts to steal the world's cornerstone and escape this realm!"

"Slay this woman, and you shall receive primordial blessings, reshape reincarnation, and recreate the universe!"

"If she is allowed to leave, this realm will instantly return to nothingness!!!"

This was the most desperate "wanted order" issued by the world's will!

In a distant, shattered starfield, the eight powerhouses of the heavens, led by the King of Ten Thousand Dragons, were locked in a fierce battle with eight ancient figures emanating endless madness and chaotic aura.

Those eight figures, some resembled mountains of decaying corpses piled up from countless skeletons, while others were pure shadows that devoured light.

They were the "Original Sin Incarnations" that had existed since the birth of this world.

They were the dark side of the world and its top-tier combat power!

The moment the "Primordial Edict" rang out, these eight ancient monsters, who only had combat instincts left, suddenly froze.

In their turbid, mad, and bloodshot eyes, Su Ke Ke's figure was simultaneously reflected.

Their battle with the "Heavenly Punitive Alliance" instantly became meaningless.

Because their "home" was about to be taken away!

"Roar—!!!"

Without any hesitation, the eight ancient monsters abandoned their current enemies.

They allowed the King of Ten Thousand Dragons's dragon claws to tear deep, bone-visible wounds into their bodies.

They allowed the law chains of other powerhouses to pierce through their bodies.

They turned their direction, transforming into eight black streaks of light that tore through the universe, charging with the most desperate, suicidal frenzy towards Su Ke Ke's coordinates, regardless of the cost!

"This is bad! Their target is Su Ke Ke!"

The King of Ten Thousand Dragons let out an earth-shattering roar.

He tried to block them with his dragon body, but one of the monsters brutally broke several of his dragon bones, and his blood dyed the starry sky red!

"Stop them!!!"

The other powerhouses of the alliance also took action.

For a time, sword light split the world, divine light shone everywhere, and even the sea of laws boiled!

All kinds of attacks capable of destroying galaxies were unleashed.

However, it was useless!

These old monsters were insane! Completely insane!

They would rather pay the price of severe primordial damage than fail to break through!

They had only one goal: kill Su Ke Ke and prevent the stripping of Blue Star!

Eight cataclysmic torrents of death, dragging a sky full of blood rain and shattered laws, crossed endless space with an unstoppable momentum, descending before Su Ke Ke!

"Hmph."

Facing a lineup that would make any peer-level existence despair, Su Ke Ke snorted disdainfully.

She gently moved Zhang Wei behind her, enveloping her with a soft divine power.

Then, she stood alone in the void, holding the scythe of the eternal elegy, proud and defiant.

She slashed the scythe forward.

"Calamity Chasm!"

A black barrier, composed of pure "ending" laws, spanned across the starry sky!

Boom—!!!

The charge of the eight monsters violently collided with the black chasm!

The entire universe seemed to have been muted!

No sound, no light, only the purest annihilation of laws!

Su Ke Ke's body trembled continuously, and a trace of golden divine blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

To resist the malice of the entire world alone was, after all, too much of a strain!

But her eyes became even colder and more resolute.

Her footsteps did not retreat even half a step!

She, by herself, forcefully withstood the combined attack of three Tier 12 and five Tier 11 madmen!

When the world's will realized that the eight Original Sin Incarnations also couldn't immediately subdue Su Ke Ke, and that the stripping of Blue Star had already entered its final stage, it made the most insane and foolish decision.

Since the old sacrifice couldn't be salvaged, then... create a new one!

"Since... you are unwilling to sacrifice for the world..."

"Then let the person you cherish most... sacrifice in your stead!!!"

A defiled, twisted golden law chain, containing the entire world's "fate" and "karma," appeared out of thin air!

Its target was not Su Ke Ke, who was fiercely battling the eight monsters!

Instead, it bypassed the entire battlefield and directly locked onto... Zhang Wei, who was enveloped by divine power and utterly defenseless!

The world's will had gone mad!

It actually wanted to use a mortal's soul as a vessel to bear all the world's evil!

This was tantamount to trying to pour the Pacific Ocean into a glass cup!

There would only be one outcome: the cup would shatter and the water would spill.

The world would face an even more tragic and rapid ultimate destruction amidst the complete loss of control of Original Sin!

However, it could no longer care about such things!

It wanted to use Zhang Wei's "sacrifice" to shake Su Ke Ke's Dao Heart!

It wanted to use the most vicious backstab in this world to punish this "rebel" who dared to defy it!

The defiled golden chain ignored the divine power barrier set up by Su Ke Ke.

Like a burning hot iron piercing flesh, it instantly plunged into Zhang Wei's glabella.

Excruciating pain!

Pain that reached deep into her soul, far exceeding the agony of slow slicing!

Her vision blurred.

Through tears and fragmented consciousness, she could only see that familiar yet imposing back, fighting desperately against eight towering demonic shadows.

Each collision made the galaxy tremble, and her heart clenched tightly.

She could feel all the malice, sin, and despair of the world, rushing madly into her fragile soul through that chain.

It wanted to tear her apart and reshape her into a monster she would even despise herself.

She understood.

She had become her weakness, her burden.

Helpless tears streamed down her face, yet a radiant, most reluctant smile bloomed.

Her voice, choked with sobs and filled with endless longing and resolve, turned into a heart-wrenching cry that echoed across the entire battlefield:

"Ke Ke... run... run now!!!"

"...Next life... I'll watch the sunrise with you again..."
