Just the first step is already extremely difficult.
When Elsa and Su Wan almost paid with their lives to buy time for Luo Ling, she did not just stand there and watch the show. In fact, her situation was more dangerous than that of Elsa and Su Wan.
The raging nothingness around her could not completely annihilate Luo Ling, but due to the existence of the giant black dragon, Luo Ling was no longer the embraced princess of nothingness, but a rebellious girl.
Because she has always been fighting against the erosion from "Doomsday" with the posture of a "savior witch" who has "transformed".
Endless nothingness permeated her entire body, wanting to plunge her into the abyss, towards the other side of "doomsday".
But Luo Ling did not give up. She kept getting closer to the pitch-black dragon and going deeper into it. The weak power she possessed kept penetrating the existence of the pitch-black dragon.
-Penetrating and transforming, while resisting being penetrated and transformed.
During this struggle, Luo Ling's body had exploded several times. Every time it recovered, the blue-black scales on her body would become darker, and the pressure she was under was also rising sharply.
The pitch-black dragon was indeed getting stronger, but in the process of it becoming stronger, Luo Ling's weak "Savior Witch" was also infiltrating every bit of the pitch-black dragon's existence.
Just like a dragon knight who is taming a giant dragon, Luo Ling exhausted all his strength and even inspiration countless times in the process, but he persisted with his unquenchable will.
At the most dangerous moment, when even Su Wan and Elsa felt there was no hope, Luo Ling had also reached the end of his rope and was almost completely defeated.
With just a thought, she would completely become a part of the "end of the world". The unborn gods would reappear in the world at this moment, and all previous efforts would be completely in vain.
But Luo Ling exhausted all his persistence and still awakened a faint will to transform within the dark dragon, which provided some relief.
And in the next moment, malicious fireworks burned the dark dragon, and a petite and beautiful fox-tail figure vaguely emerged above Luo Ling's body, complementing the malicious fireworks.
Finally, when the malicious flames faded, Luo Ling successfully reached the other side of her and completely integrated everything she had - flesh, blood, strength, will, and soul - into every inch of the black dragon's existence.
This is an extremely long rally.
A single difference in thought will completely determine the fate of this world.
This is just a battle between Luo Ling and "Doomsday", a battle that cannot be lost. No one can be a witness, not even Su Wan and Elsa who are nearby.
The surrounding nothingness gradually fell into a violent state, and even the demon shadow covering Su Wan and Elsa began to flicker, and it was in danger and seemed to collapse in the next moment.
"I have to go."
Although Su Wan was unwilling, she was also very clear that neither she nor Elsa had any means or qualifications to participate in this battle.
She picked up the unconscious Elsa and walked towards the Little Lost Homeland with difficulty.
Nothing can escape the annihilation of nothingness, not even the Little Lost Hometown.
But at least, the Little Lost Hometown still has one chance to escape. This is the opportunity left for future generations of lost homelanders by the former Transformation, anticipating the worst-case scenario.
This is also the opportunity Luo Ling left for Elsa.
From the very beginning, Luo Ling was aware of the danger of this battle, and the Xiaoshixianghao came for this purpose.
Su Wan brought Elsa back to the Little Lost Hometown and activated the final escape procedure before the violent nothingness could wreak havoc.
A faint dimensional door opened at this moment, but it was not escaping to another world, but a leap to the unknown depths of the virtual world.
As she was about to leave, Su Wan looked back reluctantly.
The roaring black dragon was still struggling, holiness and evil were constantly intertwined. It was hard to imagine what kind of dangerous battle Luo Ling was going through at this moment.
"Xiao Ling, come on, we... are all waiting for you."
After a soft sigh, the Little Lost Hometown completely dissipated.
It’s not over yet, there is a final volume.
This is the episode where Miss Luo Yan appears the most. It doesn’t matter if you haven’t seen the previous episodes. You just need to know that Miss Luo Yan is a very kind, gentle and powerful deity!
(Please forgive the cat's selfishness and preference for Miss Luo Yan. Miss Luo Ling will definitely be treated this way in the future~)
Chapter 159: The End of the Unfinished Heritage
A long, distant sigh.
"I didn't expect that after working so hard for so long, I would end up with a failed outcome..."
"Really, I'm not willing to accept this."
"This world..."
The girl walked forward slowly, no longer smiling as before, only heavy sadness lingered around her.
Behind her is the ever-spreading "doomsday", destroying everything wherever it goes and turning it into nothingness.
At this moment, the girl seemed to sense something, slowly raised her head and looked in a certain direction.
Vaguely, she seemed to see a figure.
Both strange and familiar.
In the midst of an expression that was so sad that he could hardly control himself, there appeared a faint, barely perceptible smile.
"Is this the only, slim hope left?"
"Yes, even if there is only darkness and nothingness at the end of endless time and space, there will never be a lack of hope. This is... the world I love."
A gaze that penetrated time and space fell, but at this moment Luo Ling was still struggling with the dark dragon, and it was unknown how long it had lasted.
Her will gradually merged into the giant black dragon, along with her flesh, blood, and strength, seeping into it.
For any being, such behavior would be considered crazy, but Luo Ling was the only exception.
It's not because she's not afraid of the outcome and consequences of such actions, but... she has no other choice.
Luo Ling has always been a calm person and rarely takes risks in gambling, but now... it is an unprecedented huge gamble.
She bet on herself and the whole world, trying to use this to trigger this huge and terrifying disaster.
Luo Ling's consciousness gradually became hazy. For the first time, her self-awareness began to waver. She kept wavering and hesitating between "doomsday" and "transformation". During this long process, she even gradually lost herself and gradually forgot everything she had experienced.
Instead, there is endless nothingness.
Her name, her past, her... family members, gradually faded in this ray of consciousness until they disappeared completely.
At this moment, the essence of "Doomsday" finally surfaced. It is not destruction, nor extinction, but the most terrifying thing... meaninglessness.
Everything that existed in the past and the future is meaningless from now on. This is the disaster of "Doomsday".
Even an individual existence named "Luo Ling" cannot escape from "meaninglessness". She can continue to exist as a god after the "doomsday" disaster, but nothing can be left behind. Only nothingness continues to shroud this sad world until the end of eternity.
Faintly, Luo Ling seemed to sense that he had transformed into a giant black dragon, and his long and mournful howl resounded through the depths of nothingness.
Finally... failed
This thought kept coming up in her mind, but at this moment she was even confused by the concept of failure.
"Ling, my child."
At the end of despair, a voice, although a little immature, but warm and gentle, sounded in her ears.
In an instant, Luo Ling's almost "meaningless" thoughts resurfaced. She looked a little confused. She slowly raised her head and saw a girl extending her hand to her with a gentle smile on her lips.
In the girl's clear eyes, Luo Ling saw her current appearance, a faint dark gray shadow.
"Join me and save this world..."
In an instant, the fact that she had been "meaningless" emerged in Luo Ling's mind like a tide. These movie-like scenes kept flashing through her consciousness and gradually slowed down.
No, she has not failed now.
Not only that, even the "transformation" in the past has not been a complete failure!
The four different places of origin are not the sad mourners of the starry civilization, but the dying hopes of the old days, weak and slim, but never lost.
Luo Ling took the girl's hand, and through her eyes, he truly witnessed the path of "transformation", which continued to extend forward and was never cut off from beginning to end.
In Valhalla, the first place of origin was born in her hands, with the "World Tree" Yggdrasil as the cornerstone of this place of origin, giving birth to the first gods, except for the "Knight", the head of the gods who existed from the beginning.
In fact, Metamorphosis did not plan the four places of origin from the very beginning. For a god like her, the relationship between space and time is particularly disordered.
The moment Valhalla was born, Metamorphosis had already experienced Valhalla's rise and fall, her betrayal and the inevitable disaster, until the birth of the black dragon, which brought the tragedy of Valhalla to a perfect end.
What surprised Luo Ling even more was...
Tu Sheng's initial method of salvation was actually for her birth, the existence named "Luo Ling".
When Tuisheng was facing the end of the old days, she saw a unique glimmer of hope on the other side of the long river of time. At the same time, Tuisheng felt an imprint of consciousness born in the star civilization at the moment of doomsday.
She knew clearly that this brand was the only hope for the future of this world.
Therefore, the reason why Transfiguration chose to spread the theory of doomsday in a high-profile manner in Valhalla at the beginning was to gather the faith of Transfiguration on this imprint of consciousness. Combined with the afterimage of Transfiguration left after her self-sacrifice, a godly personality that only walked on the path of "Transfiguration" could be born.
Unfortunately, the gods and the entire Valhalla betrayed her and turned around and used their believers to suppress and kill her.
Tusheng was very disappointed. She didn't understand why this happened, but this path had come to an end. Without enough faith, she couldn't condense a new divine personality for this imprint of consciousness.
Eventually, her remains were suppressed deep in the Nibelung, until she was awakened at some point in the future, and she finally realized that by some strange twist of fate, her child was born into the world.
Even if it was not what she had originally hoped for, even if her child was also troubled and affected by the "doomsday" disaster, but at least... the slim hope had not been completely lost.
After the birth of Valhalla, the place of origin, Metamorphosis witnessed all of this, and knew that if it only relied on the dire situation in Valhalla, the "doomsday" disaster would probably come before the slim hope could be successfully hatched.
Therefore, the next thing to be created was the Great Xia Imperial City, the place of origin.
Since its birth, the only mission of the Great Xia Imperial City has been to use all means to delay the spread of "Doomsday". Almost most of the "Doomsday" disasters are borne by the Great Xia Imperial City. For this reason, Tu Sheng created the "Legendary" land for the Great Xia Imperial City, and stepped into it with his afterimage, fighting until the last moment.
It can be said that the origin city of Daxia has been the main force facing "Doomsday" from the very beginning. At the same time, for this reason, the overall strength of Daxia Imperial City ranks first among the four origin places.
The two emperors in the "Legendary" land are actually ranked together as the third "taboo" in the weird sequence, but they are not "taboos".
Almost all of the "Taboos" are powerful beings from the old days who embarked on the path under the guidance of Transformation. The Twin Emperors are no exception, but the biggest difference between them and other "Taboos" is that they have not been infected and changed by "Doomsday".
But for the same reason, their strength was much weaker than that of Chi You, the fifth "Lord of War" in the weird sequence. That was why the most tragic Battle of Zhuolu took place. Even the residual shadow of Tu Sheng exhausted all his strength in this battle, and was able to defeat the surging "doomsday" disaster.
only...
It was the existence of the Great Xia Imperial City that delayed the "doomsday" disaster that was supposed to follow the disappearance of Tusheng for thousands of years.
Victoria is an unexpected place of origin.
As the most important part of the old way of salvation, the six paths extending from "Doomsday" to "Transfiguration" originated from other gods, existed at both ends and were not completely similar. It was the greatest achievement of Transfiguration, but also the most failed achievement.
But it’s not completely meaningless.
It can be said that Victoria is the salvation ending that Metamorphosis has been looking forward to the most, and it is the result that should have happened. Even if the "doomsday" disaster exists and can destroy civilization in an instant, it can also recreate the past through "Metamorphosis" and continue forever.
The annihilation of nothingness and the birth of hope are constantly intertwined. Even if the result is just a prolongation of life, it can continue the future of civilization as much as possible.
However... when Victoria, the land of origin, was born, Transformation saw its future of continuous collapse until it was completely broken and annihilated, and finally accepted with great pain the result that her way of salvation had completely failed.
The burial place is not Victoria’s past, but Victoria’s future.
Tu Sheng sobbed as she erected a tombstone for this place of origin, and with endless despair and self-blame, she wrote her last words.
"This is a complete failure. The end is coming, but the ascension is no longer here."
"I am the final mortal, the destroyer of worlds."
What Tusheng failed to see was that Luo Ling's appearance brought a glimmer of hope for Victoria. The place where her future burial was to be was erased, and Victoria lingered on.
At this moment, Luo Ling realized that from Tusheng's perspective, her existence was almost impossible to be detected. Only when Luo Ling took the initiative to contact Tusheng, could Tusheng discover her from the endless darkness.
While in Victoria, Luo Ling almost never came into contact with any traces of transformation from beginning to end, not even the burial place was touched directly.
This is because Luo Ling's rank from the origin, that is, her consciousness, has been at the same level as transformation from the very beginning.
Therefore, Tusheng cannot glimpse the future that belongs to Luo Ling, nor can he obtain the changes brought about by Luo Ling.
... Perhaps, this is what is called a slim hope.
In the future that Tu Sheng could see, everything was completely annihilated by "Doomsday", and only Luo Ling still had this glimmer of uncertainty.
In the final despair, Metamorphosis created Columbia, a place of origin that was created for escape from the very beginning.
Not only was Columbia created at the weakest point of the dimensional wall, but even the Lost Homeland left behind by the Ascension had the ability to perform partial dimensional jumps.
If it were somewhere else, this kind of dimensional jump would at most lead to an extremely distant place, but in Columbia's location, there is a possibility of directly leading to other worlds.
In order for Columbia to escape safely, Metamorphosis almost completely eliminated the influence of "Metamorphosis"-"Doomsday" in Columbia, but it was precisely because of this that it created an opportunity for the spread of the Puppet Rumor Disaster.
Finally... As the last place of origin to be born, Columbia unfortunately became the first place of origin to be completely destroyed.
This wonderful journey has come to an end.
Tusheng is dead.
The afterimages of ascension that appeared in each place of origin afterwards were nothing more than the residual traces left in almost all timelines when the gods ascension occurred in an instant when the four places of origin were created.
