"Stop it!" Hu Fang shouted. "Shen Xu, I don't believe you would willingly disappear like this. You can still hear me, right? Please, regain your consciousness!"
"It's useless..." Sun Warrior Leader interjected, gritting his teeth against the pain, breathing heavily as he spoke to me. "God King, you must have consumed a lot of power after being hit by Fiery Annihilation just now. With your current strength, do you really think you can destroy all of humanity?"
After hearing this, I tried to sense the power within me. As he said, my current strength was indeed insufficient to annihilate all of humanity.
"As you said, my power is not enough right now. But that's okay; even if I can't destroy everyone, it will be enough to awaken the rest... I hope they can come to their senses..." I murmured to myself and then ignored Hu Fang and Li Zhisheng on the ground, continuing to ascend slowly into the sky.
Seeing this, Sun Warrior Leader summoned the last of his strength and charged at me while shouting, "In that case, let me lend you a hand! Receive my final blow!"
"Final, Fiery Annihilation!"
With his shout, dark clouds gathered in the sky once more. Bolts of lightning tore through the night sky with a deafening roar as a massive black dragon appeared before me.
"Impressive, Sun Warrior Leader. But do you really think this dragon conjured from your remaining power can defeat me?"
"Of course it's not enough. But what if we add Onizuka's power?!" With that, two golden beams shot into the sky and directly entered the body of the massive dragon.
As the two golden lights penetrated it, the black dragon began to change. Its originally pale eyes glimmered with gold, and its large scales gradually transformed into dazzling gold.
"Foolish..." I looked at the golden dragon above me and said, "The power contained within Onizuka is mine to begin with. Now you want to use my own power against me... isn't that a bit reckless?"
With that, I raised my Ancient Blade, preparing to block the final Fiery Annihilation unleashed by Sun Warrior Leader.
At that moment, looking at the black Ancient Blade in my hand, I vaguely remembered its name—Extreme.
"Old Friend, help me one last time..." With that thought, I lifted my blade and aimed it at the golden dragon in the sky. Just then, I suddenly felt that Sun Warrior Leader was still charging towards me without stopping despite having released all his power; instead, he continued to rush forward with momentum.
As I was about to be knocked over by his body, I hurriedly sidestepped and reached out, grabbing his shoulder and holding him suspended in mid-air.
"I didn't want to take you down with me; why are you so insistent..." I said, looking at the blood-soaked Sun Warrior Leader before me, feeling somewhat helpless.
The Sun Warrior Leader looked back at me with the same intensity. "Because I am the Yang Master. When you created the Yang Master, did you not bestow upon it the mission of a righteous warrior? If I do not stand up now, it would be a disgrace to the very concept of justice."
"Now that things have come this far, I have no reason to retreat. Too many have already sacrificed for this cause, and among them, I feel the most regret for Er Ye..."
Upon hearing this, I frowned slightly. "Er Ye? Isn't he a traitor? Was he part of your plan as well?"
The Sun Warrior Leader smiled faintly, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. "Indeed, he was once a member of the Yin Master. Unable to endure the actions of the Yin Master any longer, he defected to the Yang Master, and I took him in."
"I believe you've heard his story. In fact, he killed his own father with his own hands. That man was Mo Shu..."
"What?!" I was taken aback, not expecting Mo Shu to be Er Ye's biological father.
"I believe with your current abilities, you must have sensed it. I took in Er Ye and included him in the entire plan because of his Eclipse ability. Only by placing you in a state of extreme anger could we ensure your birth into this world while your powers were still incomplete."
"As for Mo Shu, after his son left him, he felt regret, but by then it was too late. He wanted to atone for his past mistakes, so he took those children who survived the massacre by the Yang Master and erased their memories along with their Void Spirit. He secluded himself in the Mountain, claiming to be a remnant of the long-extinct Shidao. I believe his aim was also to balance out the remaining Yang Master and Yin Master. Although he lacked that power himself, those surviving Yin Masters certainly became more restrained upon hearing that Shidao still existed."
"However, for all this to happen, Er Ye made sacrifices; everyone in the Yang Master made sacrifices. To make you believe in all of this as the master of this body, we had no choice but to blur the lines between reality and illusion."
"Though I know this is cruel, it is still a lesser sacrifice compared to your power being exploited by others, leading to humanity's destruction..."
Upon hearing this, for some reason, a vague memory suddenly surfaced in my consciousness—a memory that seemed to flash through my mind at the moment of my descent into this world.
"No... This isn't your plan... It can't be you..." At that moment, conflicting thoughts surged within my mind. The memories of spirits and souls continuously flooding into my being also appeared in my consciousness. In that instant, I felt as if I could perceive everything in existence—all goodness and all evil...
"No, it's not you, it's me. This is all my fault..." As my thoughts spiraled into chaos, I was suddenly engulfed by a golden light that drew closer, so bright that I could barely keep my eyes open.
"God King, it’s time. Rest now..." The Sun Warrior Leader spoke, and just then, I heard the sound of fabric tearing. The tattered clothes of the Sun Warrior Leader ripped apart, and he fell to the ground beside me.
As he plummeted, the Sun Warrior Leader turned back and shouted with all his might toward Hu Fang and Li Zhisheng: "Hu Fang, hurry! The Soul Sealing Talisman! It will be too late if you wait any longer!"
Hearing this, Hu Fang hesitated, staring at the Soul Sealing Talisman in her hand, unsure of what to do. Seeing her uncertainty, Li Zhisheng reached out and snatched the Soul Sealing Talisman from her grasp, raising it above his head. The talisman quickly unfurled as it rolled down the scroll.
In an instant, an incredibly bright white light erupted from the Soul Sealing Talisman. That light was warm and peaceful, reminiscent of when I had placed the Soul Sealing Talisman beneath the great stone in Baiyan Village.
"This won't work!" the Sun Warrior Leader shouted. "You need to stick the talisman onto the God King..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a deafening roar echoed around us. I felt a powerful force crashing against my body, and as the power of Onizuka touched me, it surged into me like a fish diving into the ocean.
"It's too late; it's already too late. Sun Warrior Leader, you were wrong this time. The fusion of Fiery Annihilation and Onizuka's power won't harm me; instead..."
Before I could finish my thought, I suddenly felt something strange in my chest. Looking down, I saw a black dagger embedded in my heart, with the Soul Sealing Talisman attached to it. The one holding the hilt was none other than Hu Fang.
Tears streamed down her face, but a faint smile lingered on her lips. "Shen Xu, I guess if it were you, you'd want me to do this too, right?"
"I..." I tried to speak but found my consciousness fading. A memory named Shen Xu resurfaced in my mind.
"Well done, Hu Fang..." I looked at her gently.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry Shen Xu, I acted on my own again. You’re not mad at me, are you…?"
"No, this time you did really well. Thank you."
As the golden light around us gradually faded, only the gentle white glow emitted by the Soul Sealing Talisman on my chest remained.
"You saved everyone this time..." I reached out to stroke her slightly disheveled long hair, but at that moment, my consciousness began to blur, and I could no longer lift my hand as it failed to respond to my brain's commands.
"But I can't save you, I can't save you..." Hu Fang suddenly hugged me tightly, and the dagger on my chest was completely driven into my heart by her embrace.
"Does it hurt?" Hu Fang whispered in my ear as she held me.
With the last bit of strength I had, I shook my head and softly said, "Hu Fang, there's something I've always wanted to tell you..."
"I'm listening," Hu Fang replied through her sobs.
"I love..." Before I could finish, I felt my consciousness freeze completely, unable to utter that final word, and I sensed myself gradually transforming into words, walking upon the paper...
...
"I'm sorry, Shen Xu..." He drew the final period on the Sheepskin Book and slowly closed it. With a black pen, he wrote four characters on the blood-stained cover—Tao Star Nine Souls.
Then he stood up, picked up a nearby Box, placed the Sheepskin Book inside it, and carefully set the Box on a shelf cluttered with various old items.
"If there were less evil in the world, the God King wouldn't have come to this point. Ultimately, this is also my fault; why did I tell Cangdi those things? Sigh..." He sighed deeply and, dragging his weary body, picked up a pack of Cigarettes from the table. He lit one and took a deep drag.
"Hey, Lao Yang, Yang Wei... are you there?" A series of urgent knocks echoed from outside.
Hearing this, he dropped his cigarette, lifted his foot to extinguish it, and unsteadily walked to the door. When he opened it, a young man with a friendly face and fashionable attire stood before him.
Upon seeing him, the young man said, "Hey, Lao Yang! It's time for dinner; let's go eat together. It's on me."
He replied, "You just opened your place, how can I let you treat me? Let me take care of it."
The man smiled and patted his shoulder, appearing very friendly. "Not at all! You just moved here not long ago, so we’re neighbors now. Even though I just opened, business is going pretty well. I noticed you were all alone, which must feel quite lonely. Let’s not worry about who’s treating whom; let’s just have a meal together. If you need anything in the future, feel free to ask me for help. Also, I want to hear you tell me the story of Tao Star Nine Souls. What happened to Shen Xu in the end? Did he end up with Hu Fang?"
Upon hearing this, a look of contentment spread across his face as he looked at Buddy and said, "Alright then, since you’ve put it that way, it would be pointless for me to refuse. Let’s not stand here; let’s find a place to sit down."
"Sure thing! Take your time; I’ll help you close the door." With that, Buddy took the key from his hand and slowly closed the shop door, locking it behind them.
Just as the man was about to assist him in leaving, he turned back to glance at the brand-new sign on his shop door. The sign boldly displayed four large characters—Yuxu Mipo.
{The End}
