For a long while.
A hint of fluctuation flashed across Chen Lun's empty eyes.
'Even if there was no Duke Huan, and no plotting by my father Chen Feng... could I defeat the seven Old Ones by myself?'
He has been thinking about this.
Although I feel very unwilling and ashamed, the answer is almost no.
Chen Lun had already witnessed the terrifying existence of the Transcendent Sequence, and how powerful they were. With his dual god status and strength, he was no match for them.
The best outcome is that he chooses to give up everything as a "human", sacrifice himself, transcend the order, and become an old man who is a path of sorrow and joy...
But the cruelest reality is:
Even so, it was still difficult for him to fight against the four Old Ones and three Outer Gods. It was obvious that the King of Comedy fell because he was besieged...
Duke Huan had anticipated this.
Sacrifice does not mean redemption.
Therefore, faced with such a hopeless situation with no chance of survival, Duke Huan exhausted his entire life's wisdom and energy to plan such a shocking strategy, just to find that glimmer of hope for survival.
The most critical person among them is Chen Lun.
Only he has the opportunity to "backstab" the old "Azure Holy Flame" and become a more powerful old one of the two-source sins, thereby completing redemption and forming an eternal deterrent!
All-
Woo—
All-
The church's unique large organ played a solemn and monotonous melody, which came faintly from outside the study.
"You are the door to a great chapter, the beginning of a grand epic..."
"You are the final act of the highest drama, the end of all myths..."
"You are the master of the fairyland and the spirit world, you are the great god of the foreign land, you are the infinite master who controls destiny..."
Waves of devout singing are filled with strong expectations and emotions.
Chen Lun looked painful, coughed and spat out blood.
"puff!"
Looking at the glaring blood spilled on the ground, his eyes showed no joy or sadness.
Chen Lun's current condition is very bad. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is like a lamp running out of oil, a candle in the wind. In fact, it is even worse.
The sound of the organ and prayers echoed in my ears.
He limped out of the laboratory door with a cane. During this process, his black hair quickly withered and turned gray. He looked like he had aged dozens of years and had become an elderly man on the verge of death.
Following the sound, he came to the newly built Dawn Church east of the Federal Research Center. It was filled with believers, all of whom were residents who were panicked by the strange changes between day and night.
Chen Lun paid no attention to these people.
The so-called doomsday is all a scam by Huan Gong.
These federal people from the Azure Star are actually not in any danger. They are essentially the scroll clan of the old "Azure Holy Flame", but they are unaware of it.
It really is the "end of the world".
There is only one possibility -
Once Chen Lun chooses to transcend the sequence, transforms into the path of sorrow and joy of the past, and becomes the enemy of the "Azure Holy Flame", it will truly be the end of the Azure Star!
Everything.
When he wants to find redemption, he will inevitably go against both worlds and become the notorious "ultimate villain".
But at this moment, Chen Lun no longer cared.
Deep inside the cathedral, the North Star was sitting on a stool in front of the large organ, playing silently and directing the believers to sing and pray.
The top players of the Polaris team all logged off from the game at the same time, came here, and gathered around Polaris.
They were looking at the "old man" walking towards them with shock on their faces.
The North Star suddenly noticed something.
The finger he was about to press paused, and the magnificent organ suddenly stopped. Turning back, Polaris was stunned.
"teacher… "
A smile appeared on Chen Lun's wrinkled face.
He said in a low and hoarse voice:
"Abei, I want to ask you to do me one last favor."
Polaris stood up in an instant.
Although he didn't understand why the teacher became like this, his intuition told him that the matter was quite serious.
"Teacher, please speak."
Polaris quickly replied solemnly.
"Use all the power of the Federation and the Holy Church to allow people to enter the game."
Chen Lun lowered his eyes and spoke calmly.
He no longer had any extra strength, not even the strength to fly away from the Azure Star and head for the starry sky again... So Chen Lun needed the help of the "players", borrowing their values to support himself to complete this last leg of the journey.
Now that things have come to this, Chen Lun is actually relieved.
Since they can't save themselves, they should choose the other way given by Duke Huan. At least, they can let Fuluo Yin, Zuo Fei, their younger sister Chen Mo and Arnomaji survive...
'There's no going back.'
Chen Lun knew it clearly.
He turned his head to look towards the starry sky and made up his mind.
Give up your self, give up your humanity.
Then, go and grasp the dawn of salvation.

With the swift action of the Polaris team, Pope Su Hong and a group of senior officials, all holding on to the last glimmer of hope, mobilized the resources of the entire federation at all costs, and called on people to enter the game "Mysterious Age" through sleeping capsules.
There is no need for people to do anything specific.
There is only one requirement, just enter the game.
Money, benefits, promises and even deception, the Federation and the Holy Church used every possible means. Under such circumstances, countless people flocked into the game.
In fifteen seconds, the sky changed from day to night seven times.
Chen Lun sat on the guardrail of the rooftop of the Chaofanke Building, head lowered, light and shadow intertwined on his body, as if thoughts of hope and despair were switching...
In the background "database", more and more resources can be mobilized.
finally.
Chen Lun moved.
He took a step toward the guardrail and disappeared in mid-air.
With the support of the player data, Chen Lun took his last breath, flew out of the azure star, and entered the dark and silent starry sky again.
Stars flickered and flew past on both sides.
He endured the pain and suffering, crossed the long solar wind, left the solar system, and entered a wonderful horizon.
The azure, wriggling flames filled the field of vision.
Chen Lun knew that this area was actually the "tablecloth" at the end of the galaxy that he had seen before.
The key message from Duke Huan also clearly told him that the original body of "The Feast of Bliss", the source sin of the old "Sacred Azure Flame", was hidden inside.
His heart was like a burning flame.
Burning everything he had.
Chen Lun wandered and searched in the terrifying heat.
The body burns and restarts again and again.
The expression on his face has never changed since he woke up.
'Sure enough, even though I have come to the core area of the old "Sacred Blue Flame", she has not paid attention to me... Perhaps in her eyes, I am a part of her body and she does not regard me as an enemy.'
A thought flashed through Chen Lun's mind.
Deep within those dead eyes, there was a glimmer of madness.
'Very good! Very good! Very good!
'
Finally, after an unknown amount of time, he sensed an area that was out of place.
After teleporting tens of millions of kilometers, Chen Lun came to a twisted vortex where everything was upside down, spaces overlapped, and there was no concept of time.
In the center, there is a ball of blue fire that never goes out.
This flame originally had no shape, but after Chen Lun arrived, it turned into a dining table based on his own cognition.
White wood, clean and simple.
There was also my favorite fried rice and milk on the table.
Chen Lun seemed to be inspired and moved closer, then he said to himself:
'Not returning home.'
Buzz—
The white throne instantly appeared behind him and transformed into an ordinary white wooden chair.
Chen Lun sat down immediately.
He slowly smiled, a relieved smile.
For some reason, Chen Lun had an absurd idea at this moment, thinking that "the feast of bliss" and "no return home" were so compatible.
One represents joys and sorrows, the other represents the willingness to give up cold and heat.
"From now on, Chen Lun no longer exists."
Tears fell from the corners of the eyes and dripped down the smiling face.
"Only the old 'Lord of the Fallen'—"
He suddenly spread his arms and shouted with all his strength:
"Transcendence! Transcendence!
!”
boom-
The ten authorities of the paths of sorrow and joy, and the true godhood that Chen Lun digested, instantly melted and gathered like steel ingots in a furnace, enveloping his body and merging into one with the source sin of "No Return".
During this process, Chen Lun's body changed from tangible to intangible.
Instantly shattered, instantly void—
There is no more "Chen Lun" in this world!
Or the man “Jack Speight”!
In this process, everything about him that related to "human" was stripped away, fell off, disappeared, and ceased to exist.
Chen Lun's consciousness also disappeared.
He doesn't remember everything.
He forgot Fuluoyin, forgot his daughter Zuo Fei, and forgot everyone.
boom-
boom-
boom-
In the macro perspective.
The azure solar wind at the edge of the solar system suddenly expanded, revealing a "cosmic wonder" that could only be seen by beings with more than 999 levels of insight.
It is a Möbius ring-shaped galaxy composed of pale stars. These galaxies have both light and dark sides, forming an even larger infinity symbol, like a river of stars.
If there were a being whose status and insight were high enough, perhaps by observing one billionth of her dissipated power, they could gain extraordinary knowledge of the paths of sorrow and joy, and learn about this blind and foolish great being.
She is called, the Lord of Destiny.
Buzz—
The pale galaxy suddenly moved.
In an instant, it engulfed the entire solar system... and severed the connection between the source sin "Blissful Feast" and the old "Azure Holy Flame"!
From a more macro and higher-dimensional mysterious perspective.
Only then will you discover.
A distorted figure made up of countless galaxies, so huge that even eternal existence could not comprehend it. On her chest, a pale starry sky in the shape of an infinity symbol, also made up of countless galaxies, bloomed.
Two unknown existences suddenly intertwined together.
From this moment on, the universe burst into a long-lasting and dazzling white light, comparable to the explosion of countless stars!
It also starts from this moment.
Outside the world of Beretania, the terrifying beings that transcend the sequence suddenly realized a certain "danger".
The old "Cosmologist", "Eternal Nightmare", "Lord of Filth"...
Even the Outer Gods "Wind of Winter Bell", "Shadow of Chaos" and "Lord of Plague", a total of six cosmic wonders, began to escape towards the unknown end of the universe almost at the same time.
Because, a "pillar-level" Old One of the Double Source Sins was born...
The blind and foolish Old Outer Gods followed their survival instinct and moved away from the area around the world of Beretania as quickly as possible.
But.
The newly born "pillar-level" Old One did not intend to let these Old Outer Gods go. He also followed his instinct for the mysterious power and the "Law of Extraordinary Fusion" -
The Lord of Fate and Destiny, the God of Joy and Sorrow of All Things, chased after the six fleeing Old Ones...
This chase is over a distance of billions of light years.
In contrast, thirty years have passed quietly.

The world of Beretania.
wonderland.
The Cat City, which has expanded more than ten times, has become an extremely vast and prosperous country with a large population, peace and happiness.
A bright sun rose slowly, casting bright and warm rays of sunshine.
This is the incarnation of the sun god "The Prideful Sun" Arnotrisul. Her true body is located in Abbasye, the shrine of the gods in Tianyuan. The light and power she radiates every day will illuminate the world and bring light to the people.
In the heart of Cat City.
The white cat residents and ordinary humans lived and worked in peace and contentment, with constant laughter and hawking. From time to time, some clergymen of the Dawn Church wearing grey robes would pass by, and the residents would stop to salute and cast respectful glances at them.
Because every resident of Fairyland knows it.
This happy home was obtained through the efforts of the gods. Among them, the greatest "Mr. Infinity" went beyond the starry sky to fight against the doomsday crisis and never returned.
But every Sunday, there are clergymen in the church who tirelessly teach believers that it is the sacrifice of "Mr. Infinite" that allows the world to be stable.
People are all grateful and respectful.
Therefore, every Sunday, believers would pray to "Mr. Infinity", sing hymns, and eat communion rice and milk to commemorate him.
Of course, a large number of people in Wonderland firmly believe that "Mr. Infinity" has not fallen, and she is still floating outside the world, guarding at all times.
Because the "former guest" Sid Mitchell, the god of history, has never acknowledged such history, it is impossible for "Mr. Infinity" to fall.
In the center of Amahara Shrine Abbasye, under the sacred tree stands a hundred-meter-high white crystalline obelisk. It is called the "Infinite Monument" and is a miraculous creation when the "Old Guest" became a god. It records every great deed done by "Mr. Infinite".
This includes the story of His Majesty Jackspeight going to the starry sky to fight against the terrifying existence above the sequence.
Thirty years have passed, and although she has never returned, the world remains at peace. This fact proves one thing: "Mr. Infinity" has succeeded.
Everyone, including the gods in Wonderland, firmly believes that "Mr. Infinity" is not dead, and she will definitely come back one day in the future...
Cathedral of Dawn.
An old woman with gray hair, dressed in papal attire, was silently wiping a painting on the wall.
In the painting, a group of people are having a meal together at a long table, laughing and applauding. In the open space in the middle, a man and a woman are dancing. The man is wearing a top hat and a black suit, and the woman is wearing a black skirt and tulle.
Archbishop Alex played the harmonica, Archbishop Antonio the Cow hummed along with the beat, and in the corner, a little girl with freckles was smiling with joy on her face.
"His Majesty the Archangel Noah's original painting "Dawn" is still touching after so many years..."
The old woman looked at the girl in the corner of the painting and smiled with relief.
Tears flowed unconsciously.
"Mr. Jack, where are you now? Everyone misses you very much, and Miss Floin is also waiting for you to come back..."
Thirty years later, Connie, who was once a little girl, has taken over Floin's position as Pope.
Miss Floin lived in seclusion on the moon and was promoted to "Moon Goddess".
Her mission is to bring darkness and light, comfort and solace to the world... But she is lonely and no one can hug her.

The moon and the sea of flowers.
On the pale earth, among the colorful flowers, two figures, one big and one small, are playing.
The girl was not very old, only about seven or eight years old.
A girl with long, smooth black hair and a gray-white dress, who had just picked a white rose, turned her head happily and looked at the mature lady in the black dress, and shouted crisply:
"Mom, look, this flower is so beautiful."
The girl's face was perfect, with delicate features. Her dark eyes revealed an innocent look, and her brows were about 60% similar to the lady in the black dress.
"Zuo Fei, come here."
Floin smiled and opened her arms.
The girl laughed like a clear bell, threw herself into her mother's arms, and inserted the white rose into her mother's light golden hair.
Fuluoyin stroked her daughter Zuo Fei's head. Although there was a smile on her lips, her eyes revealed deep melancholy and sadness.
Because her daughter was the "Son of God", she was pregnant for twenty-two years before giving birth to Zuo Fei... and as soon as she was born, Zuo Fei was a demigod.
If her husband had not left behind any divinity, Zuo Fei would have had a good chance of becoming an angel.
During these thirty years, there was not a single day when Flo Yin did not miss her lover.
But no matter how time passes, there is still only her and her daughter Zuo Fei on the moon. The figure she thinks about day and night has never returned.
"Mom, I heard Aunt Maggie and Uncle Oscar from Tianyuan talking about Dad's deeds again today... When will she come back?"
Zuo Fei lowered her head and played with the corner of her clothes, and asked with some sadness.
"Little Zuo Fei has never seen her father once... The residents of the fairyland all say that my father is the benefactor of this world and left behind one legend after another, but little Zuo Fei only heard what others said..."
"Almost, I'll be back soon."
Flo Yin smiled dotingly and comforted him softly.
At this time.
Little Zuo Fei suddenly turned her head sharply and shouted:
"Aunt Judelia is here!"
Fuluoyin looked gently towards the end of the sea of flowers, and a girl in a red dress, still with twin ponytails, walked over with a small parasol.
Zuo Fei seemed to be very familiar with her. She trotted over and threw herself into the girl's arms affectionately. The two of them laughed for a while.
Soon, Judilia took Zuo Fei's hand and walked in front of Flo Yin.
"Madam, please go to Amahara Shrine Abbasye. You haven't shown up in more than ten years... The other gods are very worried about you."
There was concern in Judelia's eyes.
Flo Yin just shook her head slightly.
"I'll wait for him..."
Having said this, she turned around and walked towards number 7 Denton Street without looking back.
The voice came:
"Xiao Zuo Fei, you and your aunt should go to Tianyuan to play for a few days."
"OK!"
Zuo Fei became playful and a smile appeared on her delicate little face.
Only Judelia sighed heavily in her heart.
She also couldn't hide the grief in her eyes, knowing that her brother would probably not come back...
Flo Yin returned to the flower shop.
I looked at the seat by the floor-to-ceiling window, and it was empty.
"The soul I love is so rich that it forgets itself, and it contains everything in itself. Everything falls for him, including Florin..."
She finally couldn't bear it anymore, and she murmured, tears streaming down her face.

In the boundless dark consciousness...
I don’t know how much time has passed…
A quiet and ethereal female voice sounded:
"Where are you, honey?"
The darkness is still silent, no response...
A pair of light purple eyes, shining like stars, full of love.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
A young voice sounded:
"Dad? Xiao Zuofei and mommy miss you very much..."
The darkness is always gone.
Time lost its meaning, and another female voice sounded:
"Brother, everyone thinks you are dead, but I don't believe it... Please come back soon, Chen Mo doesn't want to lose you..."
Darkness, endless darkness, no response.
A long, long time later.
An old male voice full of satisfaction echoed in the darkness:
"Alun, always remember to stick to your heart..."
"From now on, you will live a happy life. This is Daddy's final promise to you..."
“Love is the most expensive anchor. It cannot defeat death, but it can anchor the soul. It allows the departed soul to stop wandering and the living soul to find its home…”
"Wake up, go back..."
*
*
*
Flo Yin suddenly stopped crying.
Because she suddenly felt a solid, broad, warm and heavy embrace, holding her tightly.
Flo Yin sniffed the familiar scent and raised her head in disbelief.
Hot tears burst out uncontrollably once again.
Her voice trembled and she choked as she said:
"You're back..."
A deep and magnetic voice responded:
"My hometown is where you are. I'm back."
