Chapter 905 A Brand New Starry Sky (5600)

In this infinitely complex, infinitely complicated composite spacetime, the name of a hero is being sung.

She is kind and tolerant, compassionate and benevolent, but she never hesitates and is brave enough to strike down enemies.

This hero has walked a long, long road, and she has always been giving, saving, bestowing her love upon the entire realm, indiscriminately giving to all of spacetime and all possibilities.

She will extend a helping hand to all the weak, those who cannot fight for themselves, those who cannot seize their own future, helping them fight their enemies, teaching them combat skills and knowledge, guiding them onto the right path.

She will also draw her blade against all those strong who bully the weak, those who intend to plunder from the weak, demonstrating her will. She will try to teach, guide, and advise, or simply and decisively eliminate these monsters who delight in plundering and murder, preventing even greater disasters from occurring.

Because there is a good teacher, because there is light above guiding this hero forward, she has no confusion, has not stepped onto any wrong path. She occasionally wonders if what she does has value and meaning, but no matter what, she continues to fight.

Like the embodiment of correctness, constantly fighting, continuing to 'now'.

And opposing her is an evil dragon entrenched on the timeline, a serpent in the truest sense of the word.

Crawling upon time like a long river, devouring possibilities, solidifying the past and future into a ring with its power.

Such a demon, if it were willing to release the myriad things and futures it has devoured, might still be considered normal, but it greedily wants to possess everything, because it never trusts others, wanting to swallow everything into its belly, satisfying that illusory and eternally unsatisfiable hunger, and so it is called a monster.

The evil dragon resides high at the source of time, the giant god's cold, greedy eyes overlooking all things from the Tower of Spacetime, refusing anyone's approach, wanting to dominate all the kingship of the past, present, and future, and regarding others as 'unstable elements' that must be eliminated.

So, someone went to punish it.

At first, the punisher was only the hero (she) alone.

However, as the hero helped more and more spacetime, as the hero helped more and more people, as the hero traversed the long road through the long years.

People also began to gather.

From all over the world; from all directions of the universe; from every possible tributary of the River of Spacetime; from every branch on the Tree of the Future...

From every imaginable and unimaginable place.

People gathered together.

Perhaps they are Starfolk, perhaps they are Orcs, perhaps they are machines, perhaps they are Elves, Dwarves, Gnomes, Demonkin... all races are possible.

Those warriors who believe that their courage and determination are no less than the hero's, so they want to fight alongside the legend, to face the evil dragon together, gather like clouds, vast as the sea, their numbers are numerous, covering the earth, so much so that even the stars in the sky cannot compare to their number.

That is an infinite army, a punitive expedition from infinite worlds.

[--We will win--]

The people shouted, shouting their own glory and belief, they firmly believed, they never hesitated, they had no doubt about the possibility of their final victory, they wanted to open the road to the future with their own hands, eradicating all betrayal, slaughter, and despair from the source to the present.

Because, in infinite possibilities, there will be such a path.

Nothing is impossible, nothing is absolute, if you have to ask why everyone believes so firmly, then there is only one answer.

Because this is the 'correct' advance.

However, the wicked giant god, the evil dragon entrenched on the top of its mountain, refuses this possibility.

It wields a grand and terrifying blade and sickle, severing time, shattering cause and effect, its gaze can penetrate all things, causing the stars in the sky to shatter.

Playing the sound of destruction, when the giant god detects an enemy, it begins to act. Once this majestic and enormous divine body begins to move, the timeline begins to shift, hiding the original 'keystone spacetime' in its palm.

In the gap outside of time, the giant god plays a melody, wielding giant fists, using blades, sickles, long swords, and spears to destroy all enemies.

In addition, the wicked giant god also has its own servants and possibilities.

Because it knows the fluke of [Life], the giant god does not allow any other life to have the possibility of threatening itself.

Because it firmly believes in the preciousness of [Wisdom], the giant god vows never to share its wisdom with other minds.

Because it is certain of the necessity of [Warfare], the giant god has always used war and battle as a means to seize power and chips.

Because it understands the reason for [Desire], the giant god will always follow the guidance and impulses of desire to act.

In the vast, infinite spacetime, there is not only the mechanical 'Twilight Sky-Net', but also the 'Devouring Swarm' composed entirely of biomass, the 'Aether World-Eater' composed of vengeful spirits, the 'Wheel of Ending' composed of all souls' thoughts and desires...

The [Fate Determiner] has different names and titles, just as the billions upon billions of infinite heroes all have their own unique names and souls, the evil dragon is not just one, its number is also infinite.

The evil dragons, the dragon's claws, and even the elements that support the dragon's evil, all come out to fight the heroes.

They are so powerful that they can easily destroy the defenses built by the heroes. They wave their tails and can shatter spacetime and stars. They wave their claws and can cut through worlds and light.

Their breath can burn everything, their gaze can take away all fighting spirit and hope.

They are so powerful that they can destroy, kill, and ravage everything at will.

Even the forks of time, the possible tributaries, the giant tree of the future, will be twisted, dried up, and gnawed by it.

--How many people have died because of this?

--How many heroes have disappeared because of this?

The answer is 0.

The answer is zero.

Because the Eternal Maiden stands here, she raises the long sword in her hand, calling out her own power.

Because 'infinite' heroes can remember 'all' heroes, because 'infinite' heroes can believe in 'other' heroes... therefore, no one will be forgotten.

That is the power called 'immortality'.

"Follow me forward!"

Grasping the long sword in her hand, the golden-haired girl stands at the very front of everyone, she is firm, smiling, and full of spirit, announcing the prelude to victory to all those who dare to stand beside her: "The wicked giant god is indeed powerful, but it is not infinite, because they cannot trust each other, they only join hands because of common interests."

"Follow me forward, we will eventually win--because we hold the key to infinity in our hands!"

Thus, in the cheers full of faith and the angry battle cries, the hero's army acted.

[Arrogance!]

Faced with this mighty advance, even the giant god cannot underestimate it.

But even so, the Giant God Soldier of Fate is still fearless, only because it holds the true and unwavering secrets that are enough to cope with all the difficulties and obstacles.

Its name is 'Ring'.

All things have birth and death, there is a past and a future, everything is destined to decay, to be exhausted, but if all these causes and effects are twisted, if the beginning and end of all things are connected, then the prototype of infinity can be constructed.

Its name is 'Ring'.

Birth is the beginning of death, death is the origin of life; the past breeds the future, the future maintains the past.

Might constructs justice, justice defines might; existence originates from nothingness, and nothingness is proven by existence.

Light and darkness, cold and heat, hope and despair, luck and misfortune...

Infinite 'Rings' rotate.

'Ring' is the unit of infinity, 'Ring' is the source and end of infinity, 'Ring' is infinity itself.

The Twilight Sky-Net, because the original source was shaped, and precisely because of this, this source can breed the most powerful ending is also maintaining the origin of its birth.

This is a ring, traversing the past and future, cause and effect, devouring everything in order to create a closed loop.

In this closed loop, there is no 'possibility', only absolute 'inevitability', only the 'decision' that will inevitably happen, only the 'beginning and end' that have long been determined.

Without beginning and without end, boundless and infinite.

Only by constructing such an eternal and unceasing closed loop can it infinitely become powerful, becoming a truly infinite existence.

This is an eternal, infinite, absolute road.

But...

"Your kind of road has long been denied."

The hero (she) holding the sword said with bright eyes, she swung the sword without hesitation, blocking the giant god's fierce attack, obviously insignificant, but it made the giant god soldier, who was countless times larger than the stars, had to stop the giant sickle in its hand, making it difficult to stop its reaping of endless time.

[Ignorance, who can deny the infinite road?!]

The giant god scolded, it opened its chest, the crystal of time condensed here, endless colors gathered from the tributaries of multiple spacetime, that was the divine power condensed by the Sky-Net in countless worlds.

These divine powers revolved above spacetime, gathered, and finally turned into a ray of light that could kill anything. It shot out from the center of the giant god's chest, rushing towards the hero's army--that was a ray and divine light enough to kill everything, a frenzied blow with absolute power.

To this, the heroes had no fear, they wanted to gather their power to block this blow... but their leader, the hero who would always take the first step when shouting 'follow me', could always be one step ahead of them.

Exploding with incredible power, five-colored brilliance rotated behind her, not a phoenix nor a phoenix, the hero who practiced many correct paths spread her arms, blocking the giant god's light beam.

The pale light beam that made everything return to nothingness was completely endured by her, even the hero died because of this... but so what if she died? Death is just a weak concept, how can death stop eternity from fighting?

Therefore, infinite light spots gathered, and the golden eyes opened again, returning from nothingness, the girl holding the sword still stood.

She looked at the astonished giant god and rebuked the evil dragon's arrogance: "Infinity cannot be denied? Is infinity such an inconvenient thing!"

"Controlling time, turning everything that cannot transcend time into toys and NPCs, becoming a nothingness that is being fooled, being denied substantial existence, encompassing everything in a ring, just to prove one's own 'uniqueness'."

"Why can't such a path be denied?"

"Moreover, who do you think denied it?"

Saying so, the girl smiled: "This road, the road called 'Ring', was denied by the source of the 'Ring', the great existence that originated from the 'Ring' but transcended the 'Ring'!"

"Just like all existences that deny themselves and pursue correctness!"

[Arrogant nonsense!]

Finally, the giant god, who was truly enraged, rotated its gears all over its body, the divine body forged from endless steel, souls, and beliefs exuded a deep starlight, and countless starlights were like strings, plucking the music of all things and spacetime.

In the magnificent song of fate, it raised its hand, its enormous five fingers grasped towards the golden girl, each finger carrying the power to destroy the heavens and the earth, and in the screaming sound of spacetime shattering, it had already clenched its fist, holding the hero in its palm.

Just as the fate of heaven holds all things in its palm.

[You simply do not understand the mysteries of all this, how can you deny it]

It declared so.

However, in the next moment, endless light burst out, shooting out from the giant god's fingers, illuminating infinite spacetime.

In the bright and dazzling light that was indistinguishable between gold and white, one could vaguely see a hero desperately supporting a space, wanting to escape the giant god's control, and a phantom spirit stood on the side of the hero, the hero's teacher smiling and nodding.

And encouraged by her teacher, the girl slowly raised her head, her eyes still as bright as the sun: "You who call yourself the fate, do you really understand what fate is?"

"Do you understand the true meaning of the 'Ring'?"

Saying so, she slowly stood up, the hero who was tightly held in her palm grasped the long sword in her hand, her legs and waist were straight, her shoulders, chest, and head were raised, the girl smiled, and then laughed loudly: "Let me tell you!"

"The so-called ring, the so-called chaos, the so-called cycle, is to repeat the same thing infinitely, yet still expect different results!"

"That is infinity that transcends infinity, a cycle that transcends the cycle!"

"And fate is the interpretation that defines all this meaning!"

At this moment, under the giant god's unbelievable gaze, incredible power forcibly pried open the giant god's hand.

And the hero based on the sword in her hand, this sword is not any entity, but its 'will and belief' itself.

Light, infinity, infinite light began to shine, spread throughout many spacetime, drifting along the long river towards infinite possibilities, all heroes originated from this initial light, the light that illuminates the void chaos.

All the heroes originated from the gift of the first hero, that gift is light, the fire of civilization inheritance, it is the power of existence, all the possibilities and futures represented by the heroes are part of this light, it is infinitely growing, and now, this power is condensed into an entity, turning into the holy sword in the hero's hand.

This holy sword, as long as you believe, can win victory for its owner.

How sharp should such a sword be, and what can stop it?

There is nothing anymore.

The hero swung the sword, and the brilliant light slashed through the darkness like lightning, cutting off one of the giant god's fingers, and the girl flew out of its fist, accompanied by a sarcastic remark.

"You also deserve to be called the fate determiner? You are just a slave of fate!"

[How is that possible...]

Taking a step back, the Fate Determiner raised its hand in disbelief, looking at its missing finger. It was initially astonished, but then became furious--it was just a finger, it could recover immediately. The power of this hero in front of it still could not compare to it, it still easily wanted divine power.

But, at this moment, behind the hero.

Infinite light is gathering.

The golden-haired girl was not afraid of this.

In this instant, the girl standing in front of the giant god was her existence itself, a material body.

In this instant, the belief and will that drove the girl to walk through endless spacetime was the long sword in her hand, the thought called belief.

In this instant, the other heroes who advanced together with the girl, fighting against other evil dragon claws and many incarnations of the evil dragon, were the flags waved by the girl, the roads forged, the inheritance called thought.

At the very end, in this instant.

All of this, matter, spirit, and inheritance, creating a brilliant trend, the fact that countless heroes came together and fought against the evil dragon, the merit of fighting to regain the right to the future, infinite light finally condensed.

It turned into a candle fire, a light, that no one could see its appearance, no one could see its form, but it did indeed exist.

Its name is [Zhuzhou], the 'original body' condensed by the heroes, one of the correct 'prototypes'.

The Zhuzhou composed of brilliance stood behind the girl, and the giant god stared at all this in confusion. This time, even in power, it no longer had an advantage.

[Why?]

It couldn't believe it: [Why does the miracle happen?!]

This is the miracle.

But is it really a miracle?

If all the heroes were to say it... it was precisely because they had laid the groundwork for all causes and effects, recognized all beliefs, fulfilled all promises, and stood here with a will that transcended life and death, that they could achieve such a 'miracle'.

It is precisely because they have walked step by step to this day that it is a miracle.

[————Zhuzhou!!!!!!]

The battle under the sky has entered its final stages.

And above the sky, the roar and wail of a god-king is being issued: [You actually dare to deny this infinite road!!!]

That is the most desperate voice, the god-king existing in the future, even the future of the future is denied, that is a pain that ordinary people can absolutely not imagine, it is the bewilderment of the god-king, who does not even have a name, being shattered the last of his sustenance: [Why are you always like this, insisting on denying our hope--clearly we just want to pursue immortality, everyone would do that!]

"Otherwise?"

And facing this stern accusation, a grand voice sounded, proclaiming the unmistakable fact: "Could I let you succeed in committing crimes? The Zhuzhou Police Department can't wait until your evidence is conclusive before taking action, that's too unfair to the victims!"

"Moreover, if you cannot admit infinity, how can you be admitted by infinity? Foolish starry sky god-king, you cannot admit infinity, call yourself a ring, closed in a small shell, calling yourself the king of the infinite universe... in the final analysis, this is just a slave of fate, thinking you control fate, but always acting according to the plan of fate."

Declaring so, it seemed as if one could hear a sonorous phoenix cry.

Five-colored divine light spewed out, piercing through the fog that resembled the starry sky: "Instead of a 'dominator of fate'!"

The divine light of the Five Virtues shattered everything, even piercing through parallel spacetime. This light shocked and frightened the other three Pillar Gods, causing them to cry out in panic.

[How is that possible... why can he break through faster than us?!]

[Why can he grab the key to infinity here?]

[Did the original Zhuzhou steal our opportunity? But where?!]

But even so, the starry sky-like fog was not completely eliminated, and one could vaguely hear vague whispers: [Fate... I... destined... birth...]

"Heaven intends for you to be destined to be born, hence immortal?"

And one could see a dazzling figure walking out of the light, stepping on this dust: "Heaven said there would be a starry sky born, but is there only one starry sky?"

Saying so, the figure of light turned around, looking down upon the world.

There, there are endless, more vast than the stars, heroes, swarming towards the stubbornly resisting wicked giant gods and evil dragons.

--That is precisely the starry sky.

--A starry sky that is more brilliant and more beautiful than the cold, vast, fear-inducing starry sky that gazes upon all things.

One could see the golden-haired girl raising the holy sword, wanting to shatter this original source of the ring, so that all possibilities and futures would be restored to freedom.

That must be a brilliant starry sky.

--Eternal notes are being played--

--The old starry sky has been extinguished--

--A brand new starry sky has already lit up--

Smiling and looking around at all of this, the figure lowered its eyes, gazing at the Starry Sky God-King, who was still struggling and unwilling to give up.

"What's more."

The existence that was walking towards infinity smiled, he raised his head, looking at the gods who were trembling and staring at him in other parallel spacetime.

"What does heaven count for?"

Vacation tomorrow, take a day off!
