My Endless Life.

Chapter 640 Collapse
"It shouldn't be... it shouldn't be this fast..."

When he realized that the collapse was imminent, the Demon King's first thought was disbelief.

too fast.

The time between skipping the previous tick mark and arriving at the next one passes by too quickly.

According to the Demon King's estimate, even in the worst-case scenario, they should have had at least a week to gather information and make preparations.

but now--

"...You should go now," the Demon King said in a deep voice.

After the initial panic, the Demon King quickly calmed down and faced everything with composure.

After all, he had already made preparations.

Li Qi knew that time was of the essence, so he didn't say anything. He looked at the bewildered Four Heavenly Kings beside him and asked:
What are they going to do?

"You still care about the creatures in the small world?"

The Demon King asked Li Qi in surprise.

But he didn't ask any further questions, only subconsciously expressing his amazement, and quickly replied:
“There’s no way around it. You’re just a soul here, and the formation that’s pulling you here is in a very distant world. So you can escape by teleporting, but the people here… can’t.”

Even ninth and tenth-tier powerhouses couldn't escape the pull of the collapse, so how could a group of native residents who didn't even know what the World Sea was possibly escape?

Their fate was sealed.

And it's not just them.

Within the area affected by the collapse, tens of millions... even hundreds of millions or billions of small worlds could not escape this collapse.

No one can save them. Even if Li Qi himself were here, he wouldn't be able to save himself.

"I see."

Li Qi nodded slightly, then glanced at the Demon King one last time: "I will inform the other high-ranking members of the Origin Realm. Do you have any last words?"

"It's gone. Nothing matters anymore. Everything I had was in the Soul Realm. Now that the Soul Realm is gone, everything I have is gone too."

A last will and testament is meant to be left to future generations and those who know him well, but now that the Soul Realm has vanished, the Demon King has no one left to leave a last will and testament.

Li Qi nodded again, this time without saying anything, and left directly.

The soul detached from its current body and flew straight into the small world, leaving the original body like a powerless puppet, limp and lying on the ground.

The Four Heavenly Kings, who were watching, all stared wide-eyed at the sight.

They didn't know what had happened, nor did they know about the communication between Li Qi and the Demon King. All they saw was the Demon King come up to Li Qi, pat him on the shoulder, and say something. Then, the incomparably powerful 'god' in their eyes lost his life.

Now that the Demon King's gaze fell upon them, their hair stood on end, and they trembled uncontrollably, unsure whether to surrender immediately or to rebel.

To everyone's surprise, the Demon King merely glanced at them and calmly said:
"Everyone, go home. Take advantage of this last bit of time and do whatever you want."

"What...what do you mean...?"

The succubus queen, Pelum, asked blankly.

The Demon King looked at her with pity: "This world is doomed."

He sentenced the world to death.

The executor is the 'collapse' outside the world.

……

His soul flew beyond the barrier of the world, but Li Qi did not leave immediately. He turned his head and looked in another direction of this small world.

Then he saw that enormous emptiness that made his heart pound.

It was a void where nothing could be seen; it was like mist, or like a wall, but upon closer inspection, it was a darkness where nothing existed.

This part of the darkness was advancing slowly and steadily. It wasn't fast, but every ten minutes or so, it would completely engulf a small area of ​​the world.

In some of the larger small worlds, many powerful beings are fleeing, trying to escape the darkness, but in the end they are still swallowed up by the void.

And that darkness was about to reach the small world where Li Qi was.

"So fast……"

Upon realizing this, Li Qi was startled.

What seemed like a distant place just moments ago now appears incredibly close when you look closely again.

Without hesitation, Li Qi looked down at the small world that was about to be swallowed up. This time, without any hesitation, he opened his 'mouth' and bit down hard on the barrier of the small world!
tear-

It sounded like a crisp tearing sound in his ears, a sound Li Qi had never heard before.

This is normal, of course, since Li Qi had never taken such a big bite of the world's origin before.

what?
Ask him what he's doing?
It is obvious that he is doing what he will do in his reincarnations: taking a bite out of the origin of the world.

Since the small world is about to be destroyed and will soon cease to exist, Li Qi doesn't need to worry about whether the small world will reject him, nor does he need to worry about whether this will cause turmoil within the small world.

Since I'm going to die anyway, I might as well do something for Li Qi before I die.

So Li Qi took a big bite.

This was the biggest bite he had ever taken, reaching the limit of what he could 'eat'.

After finishing that bite, Li Qi, feeling as if his body was about to burst, activated the soul power array to pull himself back to the Cangxuan Realm.

He glanced one last time at the small world he had been in, and what he saw was the scene of that small world being completely swallowed by the void.

Collapse.

It happened right before his eyes.

"That's quite a vivid description..." Seeing the scene of this small world 'falling', Li Qi recalled the Demon King's description of this disaster.

This was indeed a collapse that no one could stop.

……

"Master Zhao, it's been a long time since you've attended this gathering."

In a magnificent palace in the Cangxuan Realm, an old Taoist priest with a white beard questioned Zhao Changge, who had just arrived.

Zhao Changge smiled and looked at him: "Fellow Daoist Xuanhe, you should know that I have another identity. I am a spy who went to the Myriad Star Realm. Do you expect me to run back to attend this gathering while I am gathering intelligence?"

“But you are also a spy sent here by the Myriad Star Realm,” a girl of about sixteen said.

She was dressed in red, her black hair cascading down like a waterfall, and she stood barefoot on a white cloud, staring coldly at Zhao Changge.

Zhao Changge's smile deepened as he said to the girl:

"So it's Fairy Hongling... Isn't it something you all already know that I'm a spy from the Myriad Star Realm? Why bring it up again?"

It's clear from these few words that Zhao Changge's identity is not simple.

He is a spy.

Moreover, he was a rare double agent.

He serves both the Myriad Star Realm and the Azure Profound Realm, a fact known to both sides.

But the one thing that no one could be sure of was Zhao Changge's future.

Nobody knows which side he's on.

"Alright." After the old Taoist and the fairy finished speaking, the middle-aged man sitting on the white cloud in the middle finally spoke up: "Nowadays, there are only a few of us who are the Dao Lords of the Cangxuan Realm. Can you all behave yourselves and stop arguing as soon as you meet?"

The middle-aged man wore a yellow robe and a crown, looking like an emperor.

He was indeed an emperor.

The only immortal dynasty in the Cangxuan Realm, the emperor of the Great Cang Dynasty, at the mid-stage of the Dao Integration Realm.

However, he was not the strongest among those present; the strongest was the red-clad fairy who appeared to be a young girl.

She was in the late stage of the Dao Integration Realm, the youngest in age, yet the most powerful in cultivation.

The remaining two were Zhao Changge and the old Taoist priest, both at the initial stage of the Dao Integration realm in this world. They were evenly matched.

Now, only a few of them remain among the ninth-rank cultivators in the Cangxuan Realm.

The remaining nine ranks were summoned away by the 'Saints' some time ago, and it's unknown what they did there.

With fewer ninth-order Dao Integration Realm cultivators remaining, and the 'Saints' above the ninth order seemingly unrelated to their activities and unresponsive to messages, it can be said that the only remaining top combat force in the Cangxuan Realm is these four.

How ridiculous! Even now, when the world of Myriad Stars is at its weakest, there are at least seven or eight ninth-rank warriors guarding it.

As a result, the Cangxuan Realm, which prides itself on being the best in the Seven Realms, can only muster four Dao Integration Realm cultivators.

Oh, and there's another traitor, I don't know which side he's on.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that the Cangxuan Realm is even more pitiful.

"Humph."

The old Taoist priest didn't say anything. He snorted coldly, flicked his whisk, and turned his head away.

The Red Silk Fairy's expression was neither sad nor happy. She glanced at Zhao Changge casually and then fell silent, as if the 'targeting' just now was merely a routine matter.

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, the middle-aged emperor turned to Zhao Changge:

"Since you're already here, let's talk about what's been happening in the Myriad Star Realm lately."

“I think you all know what I know.” Zhao Changge glanced at them: “The Revival Society launched several unrests, causing chaos in the Federation and the Empire, but it was eventually driven away by the Empress of the Empire, and things should be stable for a while now.”

"Krend still can't get in, and he doesn't know what they're doing. Conservatively speaking... they've probably been infiltrated by outsiders and are now too busy to take care of themselves."

"Oh?" The old Taoist Xuanhe's eyes lit up when he heard this: "This is good news. If Krend Ruoteng doesn't take action, it means that the Myriad Star Realm has lost at least two Dao Integration... Ninth-level combatants."

However, the middle-aged emperor had a different opinion on this:

"Good news? I'm afraid not. You and I are well aware of Krend's methods. If they are really up to something, do you think... the Cangxuan Realm, which is very close to them, can stay out of it?"

The distance between the Myriad Star Realm and the Azure Profound Realm is very short.

At least compared to the distances between other primordial realms... it's very close.

Therefore, if something really happens in the Myriad Stars Realm, the Azure Profound Realm will be the first to be affected.

Given the current defensive strength of the Cangxuan Realm... In short, the middle-aged emperor felt that it was best to prioritize stability.

However, they had no say in the affairs of the Krend Empire and were only hearing news from it. In contrast, the middle-aged emperor was more concerned about something else:

"By the way, what's the background of that little guy you brought?"

"The White Emperor's most beloved youngest son, what, you have ideas?"

Zhao Changge glanced sideways at the middle-aged emperor.

The middle-aged emperor was momentarily speechless and immediately fell silent.

The White Emperor is Zelia.

Although she never gave herself any title, to people from other worlds, she was like a celestial emperor, able to summon a sky full of white fleets with a wave of her hand.

Therefore, those familiar with her other worlds all call her the White Emperor.

The white mechanical emperor.
