"I am the battle projection of Lin Su in white robes." She said firmly, "I will temporarily assist you in completing this breakthrough."

“Having helpers would be even better.” Su Ting nodded, his gaze returning to the enormous monster in front of him. “Then—let’s begin.”

The five charged forward together, their momentum suddenly escalating!

"Remember what you said!" Ji Yan was the first to leap into the battlefield, slashing off a row of phantom limbs with his sword. No blood splattered, but the limbs were burned into nothingness.

"Don't tell me you'll never forget this scene!" Chu Mo pulled back the safety, did several somersaults in mid-air, and fired a barrage of shots at the head!

The white-robed projection then cut into the center of the enemy formation at an extremely fast speed, its spear dancing like a whirlwind, directly piercing the monster's chest cavity!

But the wound did not stop spreading; instead, more and more faces began to emerge from its body, each one opening its mouth and roaring!

"We can't let it recover!" Chenxi shouted, pressing the crystal ball harder once more!

The light surged, and the entire hall was filled with a powerful energy ripple!

At that very moment, the shadowy figure reappeared from the void, a sinister smile twisting its lips: "You think you can control the core consciousness? That's not your memory, it's the memory of fate. You want to control the past? Then first, you must defeat your present self."

He raised his hand and pointed to the dawn.

A pure black pillar of energy shot straight towards us!

"You won't even touch her!" Su Ting leaped into the air almost simultaneously, his fist crackling with lightning, to meet the arrow of fate!

Two opposing forces collided with a deafening roar!

A dazzling burst of sparks and a powerful shockwave erupted in the air!

On the surface of the crystal ball, light and shadow intertwined intensely, and finally—froze!

Chenxi's voice suddenly rose: "I understand! This isn't the past; this is a future we never chose. As long as we keep moving forward, none of this will become a reality!!"

"Then prove it to me." The shadowy figure sneered.

"Then let me tear it to pieces myself."

At this moment, the light in the entire hall suddenly became bright and clear.

It was as if a new sun was about to rise.

A soft yet deeply moving voice emanated from the crystal ball:

"Are you finally... ready?"

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the crystal ball, their heartbeats accelerating almost simultaneously.

Chapter 1079 Who is the True Beginning?

Su Ting walked forward slowly, his eyes unwavering, his tone steady and powerful.

"What do you say?"

The shadowy figure stared at him and slowly raised a hand.

Behind him, thirteen seats began to slowly rotate, emitting a dazzling light.

"Do you really think you can escape the cocoon of time?"

A strange smile crept onto his lips.

"Then let's see who the real originator is."

In the center of the hall, a crack suddenly appeared in the crystal ball.

Space began to collapse, and light began to distort.

Ji Yan gripped his weapon tightly, turned around and yelled at everyone, "Is it too late to run now?!"

Chu Mo shouted, "It's too late, buddy! This plot has gone this far, it's not going to stop now!!"

"Then blast a path through me!" A cold glint flashed in Ji Yan's eyes as he crossed his twin swords in front of his chest.

The woman in white robes swept her spear horizontally and said coldly, "We must make a choice before the crystal ball shatters."

"What to choose?" Chenxi gasped, beads of sweat forming on her forehead, her palms gripping the cracking crystal tightly.

"Is it to return to the trajectory of fate, or to completely break the cycle of reincarnation?"

The shadowy figure's voice was deep and resonant, carrying an irresistible pressure. His hand slowly tightened, and cracks spread across the crystal ball.

Su Ting gritted his teeth and glared angrily: "Who exactly are you? Why are you stopping us?!"

“I am the part you have forgotten.” The shadowy figure swayed slightly, as if it were made up of hundreds of overlapping shadows. “I am the memory you are unwilling to face, the pain that is erased after each failed reincarnation. You want to break free from the cocoon of time… Ha, you don’t even know who you are.”

The woman in white robes narrowed her eyes slightly: "He is not the gatekeeper... he is the first chosen one."

"What do you mean?!" Chu Mo roared, and at the same time fired another round of bullets into the air, blasting the remaining illusions that rushed in to ashes.

“In every cycle of reincarnation, we are trying to change the past,” she said slowly. “But we have never truly lived in the ‘present.’ Every version we have walked through in the cocoon of time is nothing more than an illusion under a certain branch of choice.”

The hall began to shake violently, and the twelve seats spun in mid-air, forming a strange array.

"You must make a choice," the shadowy voice rang out like a destiny, "either stay and be trapped in an endless cycle of reincarnation, or break through the gate to the end and go to the truly unknown land."

"The Gate to the End... what kind of place is that?" Chenxi looked up, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes.

“There are the final answers to all the stories there,” he said, “and the fates you once refused to accept.”

A silence filled the space; the air seemed to freeze, and time itself appeared to stand still.

“I’ll take a gamble.” Ji Yan suddenly took a step forward, his tone unwavering. “I’m going crazy if I stay here any longer. It’s better than being a ghost trapped in memories for the rest of my life.”

"Count me in!" Chu Mo grinned. "Who doesn't want to know what happens next?"

“I have no way out either.” Su Ting’s eyes were like knives, his steps firm. “You say we are the choosers, then fine—I choose to no longer be controlled by fate.”

"Me too." The woman in white robes stood behind them, holding a long spear.

Chenxi closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly opened them: "Then—let's go through this door together."

The power of the five has been combined once again!

The dark figure stood motionless, a complex emotion flickering across his face: "Are you really ready? Once you cross that door, there will be no second chance."

Chapter 1080 No More Need

Su Ting stepped forward: "You're wrong."

"It's us—we no longer need a 'second chance'."

"We have decided on our future."

He threw a powerful punch, shattering the last piece of crystal!

In an instant, countless lights and shadows surged forth—fragments of past memories, hypothetical glimpses of the future, and unfinished dreams!

The shadowy figure gradually became transparent: "I hope you won't regret your choice today."

“We never regret it,” Ji Yan scoffed. “But perhaps you should regret blocking our path.”

Before the shadowy figure disappeared, a cryptic smile appeared on its lips: "Then... may you find your true selves outside the door."

As the crystal ball shattered, the thirteen chairs instantly flew away, and the entire hall transformed into a torrent of light, engulfing everything in its path!

The next second, a completely new world unfolded before everyone's eyes...

Golden words floated in the air, like stars scattered across the sky.

Su Ting stood still in front, looking at the flickering flames on the distant tower.

A voice, icy cold yet warm, reached my ears:

"Welcome to...the real beginning."

Ji Yan shook his head, trying to shake off the feeling of being thrown into a whirlpool and then thrown out, and raised his hand to wipe the debris from his face. "Where am I?"

Chenxi looked down at the golden specks of light remaining in her palm. They floated slowly, moving around her wrist like living things: "It should be... the true starting point."

Chu Mo jumped up from the ground, brushing the dust off his clothes as he shouted, "This place is too eerie! There are words everywhere in the air, did you see them? What are those things moving? They're crawling all over the ground like ants."

The woman in white robes narrowed her eyes slightly, and with a gentle twist of her spear, the tip traced a streak of light. The surrounding floating characters froze instantly, then retreated in unison.

“They are… watching us,” she whispered.

Su Ting walked slowly forward, looking at the black tower standing not far away on the mountaintop, with a ball of fire constantly changing shape burning on the top of the tower.

"Welcome to...the real beginning." The voice that had just been heard echoed in everyone's minds again.

Ji Yan sneered, "You're all talk and no action. Have you forgotten that you were just blasted to smithereens by us a second ago? Now you're playing tricks, as if you don't want to live long enough?"

Before the words were finished, a pale blue beam of light descended vertically from the sky, pointing directly at the five of them. The earth trembled, and golden characters surged like a tide.

A humanoid figure gradually materialized, its outline ethereal yet possessing an undeniable presence. It wore a tattered gray cloak, its face devoid of any features, consisting only of a mirror-like metal plate.

"You have passed through the Gate of Reincarnation," the figure slowly spoke, "Therefore you will now face true judgment."

"This same old cliché again." Chu Mo frowned, the trigger already halfway pulled. "Who the hell are you on? The gatekeeper? The enemy? Or a clone of that damn 'Chosen One'?"

“I do not belong to any link in the past, future, or present,” the figure said calmly. “I am the one who rules. I will tell you the price of entering this world—each person can only have one true identity.”

The woman in white robes frowned deeply: "You want us to abandon everything we once had?"

"You no longer belong to the cycle of reincarnation, and this world cannot accommodate those with multiple identities," he said. "Everyone who enters this primordial land must choose: to be a warrior or a scholar; an assassin or a guardian; a king or a servant."
