Entertainment to the death, make a tokusatsu film that will crush the entire internet.

However, Chi You was still Chi You after all.

Even though he was severely injured from the inside by the Bone Spirit, his power still far surpassed that of the Chosen One.

He poured all his power into the Scar of the Sky!

The Scar of Heaven began to expand rapidly!

Countless meteorites rained down on the earth!

"This is destiny! When the Heavenly Mark appears, the Three Realms will perish!"

The meteorite fell through the crack and crashed into the earth.

The ground collapsed, and the buildings were reduced to ruins.

Everyone was in despair.

Is that all...?

Is this really how it is...?

"No--!!!"

The swordsman suddenly raised his head, his eyes burning with intense heat.

"There's still a chance!"

He looked at Xiaoyao Sheng, the Giant Demon King, Shen Tianbing, and others.

He made a decision.

Divide the troops into two groups!

Half the group repaired the Heavenly Rift, while the other half activated the Profound Yellow Limitless Array!

"We have no way out!"

"For the Bone Spirits, for the Three Realms, for everyone—!"

The six chosen ones stood together.

Swordsman, Giant Demon King, Divine Soldier, Feathered Spirit God, Dancing Heavenly Maiden, Witch Barbarian.

Six people formed the Xuanhuang Wuji Formation.

The rest of the people went to repair the Scar of Heaven.

"The Profound Yellow Limitless Formation!"

The formation, which should have been activated by fifteen people, was forcibly opened by six people.

The moment the formation activated, all six people simultaneously coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The backlash was too strong, and their bodies began to collapse.

But they did not back down.

"Chi You! Prepare to die!"

The swordsman roared in anger.

Meanwhile, Xuan Cai'e and others were repairing the Scar in the Sky.

"As long as I'm here, you're destined to fail!"

Chi You was still putting up a last stand.

The swordsman was determined to die.

He glanced back at his companions and saw the determination in their eyes.

"Infuse our primordial spirit into the Xuanhuang Wuji Array!"

The divine soldiers roared, "For the Three Realms!"

"For our comrades!"

Everyone shouted in unison!

A golden beam of light shot into the sky!

The Xuanhuang Wuji Formation was operating at its maximum!

Chi You struggled and roared in the light, but was eventually sealed away once more.

With everyone's efforts, the Scar of the Sky gradually healed.

The crisis in the Three Realms has been resolved.

A perfect happy ending.

Bullet comments—

"Great! Chi You in the trench is finally dead!"

"The series is complete! Hooray!"

"Waaaaah, my bone spirit, you died such a terrible death!"

"The Sword and Bone couple is crying their eyes out in the bathroom!"

"Wait... Swordsman and the others..."

The comments section suddenly fell silent.

Because in the scene, the bodies of the six people who participated in the Xuanhuang Wuji Formation began to petrify.

The swordsman looked down at his hands.

My fingertips are turning gray, and petrification is spreading from my fingertips to my arm.

My friends and acquaintances.

The bodies of the Troll King, the Celestial Soldier, the Feathered Spirit God, the Dancing Celestial Maiden, and the Witch Barbarian are also turning to stone.

The background music started playing; it was that song that always played during farewells.

Xiaoyao Sheng rushed over: "Everyone!"

"Don't come any closer."

Swordsman laughed.

He could no longer feel the pain.

There is only a sense of relief and ease.

"We are ready."

"It is my honor to fight alongside you."

"Meeting you all is the greatest fortune of my life."

The bodies of the six people were gradually covered by rocks, swallowed up inch by inch.

"Take good care of the Three Realms—"

"Live on for us—"

"You must be happy—"

The swordsman held his sword in a dashing manner.

That was the best version of himself he left to the world.

Then, he turned into a stone statue.

The image freezes.

The live chat completely crashed.

"I don't accept it! I ...!"

"Hahahaha, they're all dead! Two out of seven couples died, two were broken up, and Old Giant was taken along too!!"

"I almost couldn't catch my breath! Is this how the Land of Light operates?! So many dead people!"

"As someone who's been there, I can attest that dead couple pairings are an old tradition in the Land of Light... you just have to get used to it (lights a cigarette)."

"But the damn problem is, this is a children's cartoon! My kid is already crying his eyes out! Now he's begging to go save the swordsman!"

"I have a plan... why not get the kid hooked on the game 'Fantasy Westward Journey'... and then let them compete in the Martial God Altar (just kidding)."

"Damn! You're a real genius! Are you some kind of merchant from a fantasy world looking for someone to take over your business?!"

"I'm dying of laughter! I was crying when I saw this comment and I laughed so hard snot bubbles came out of my nose!"

"The Sword Bone Powder is crying like a fountain, do not disturb."

The scene changes.

I don't know how many years have passed.

Chang'an City remains Chang'an City.

Lively, bustling, and crowded with people.

The story of the chosen one has become a legend, repeatedly told by storytellers in taverns, and listened to as a tale of heroism by children on the streets of Chang'an.

The remaining eight are destined individuals.

Xiaoyao Sheng, Xuan Cai'e, Fei Yan Nu, Ying Nv Xia, Long Tai Zi, Hu Mei Ren, Hu Tou Guai, Sha Po Lang.

They continue to shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the Three Realms.

Tonight, they stand atop the city walls of Chang'an, gazing upon the still-prosperous world.

boom--!

Brilliant fireworks exploded in the night sky, illuminating eight young faces.

Xiaoyao Sheng looked up as the fireworks exploded in colorful shapes above them.

Everyone seemed to see their teammates in the fireworks.

"They must also think this is the right thing to do."

"Um."

The screen gradually darkened.

In the center of the screen, the final subtitle appeared—

[Fantasy Westward Journey Animated Version - Season 1]

[Complete, 52 episodes]

Thank you to all those who have chosen this path for us.

See you again in the martial world.

The screen went completely black.

Then, a line of small text slowly appeared on the black screen—

"It is said that in some corner of the Three Realms, there is an unnamed hill."

"The hill is covered with peach blossoms."

Every spring, peach blossoms bloom, their petals scattering across the valley.

"Some people say they saw a swordsman dressed in blue and a pretty and lovely woman drinking tea and admiring the flowers under a peach tree."

"Some people say that it was just a dream they were having."

"But who cares?"

"Because, as long as there are still people who remember them..."

"They never left."

The End

"Land of Light, you've won! You've won away all my tears!"

"That last paragraph... So Swordsman and Bone Spirit are actually still alive?! The production team needs to come out and give us a big thank you!"

"Finally, I can rest easy! Even though it's still a knife, at least I have a sliver of hope left, sob sob sob!"

"Wait, so where is that hill? I want to go check it out! I want to go on a pilgrimage!"

"In the game Fantasy Westward Journey, there is indeed a peach blossom forest south of Longevity Village. I hadn't paid much attention to it before, but now that I'm going to check... there are two NPCs there, one called 'Swordsman' and the other called 'Elf,' talking to each other under the peach trees!"

"Holy crap?! The collaboration between the Land of Light and Dreamland is confirmed! They've even included details in the game!"

"Enough talk, brothers! Log in! Let's slay Chi You! I'm going to Peach Blossom Forest too! To see Swordsman and Bone Spirit!"

"I haven't logged in for years, I've forgotten my password, but I need to retrieve my account now!"

An hour later, the scores were released.

9.65 points.

As an animation adapted from a game IP, achieving this score is extremely rare.

Not only fans were impressed, but even many casual viewers who were initially skeptical of game-to-anime adaptations gave it high praise.

Bullet comments, forums, Weibo, Tieba...

The topic "Swordsman and Bone Spirit" immediately topped the Weibo hot search list.

The subsequent impact was something no one had anticipated.

The game "Fantasy Westward Journey" suddenly gained hundreds of thousands of new players.

Many of these are accounts that have returned to the game after years of being quit.

Their only goal was to kill Chi You!

The forum was full of posts like "Avenge the Swordsman", "The Bone Spirit's Last Wish", and "Chi You Must Die".

Some people even formed a "Chiyou Slaughtering Tour Group".

The group has 500 members, all of whom are returning veteran players.

As expected, the servers for Fantasy Westward Journey crashed.

One after another, all sectors are showing positive results.

Upon seeing this spectacle, the official team of "Fantasy Westward Journey" immediately responded with an animated sequence.

A special "Return of Destiny: Slaying Chi You" event has been launched to mark the return of players.

Give veteran players equipment, experience points, and pets.

Now, even more people are returning.

All servers were overloaded, with queues lasting for hours to get in.

The official account posted on Weibo:

"Thanks to the Land of Light anime for the buzz, and thank you to every returning player. Chi You is waiting for you."

The comments section was filled with laughter.

"You are exploiting the dead."

"Swordsman: Did I die for nothing?"

"Bone Spirit: Can I be resurrected and die again?"

Even more outrageous, NetEase's stock price rose by three percent as a result.

The shareholders were overjoyed.

Who says everyone in the A-shares market is just a sucker?

"Look! A genius trader is here!"

"Thank you, Kingdom of Light! Thank you, Director Yang! Thank you, Swordsman and Bone Spirit!"

"My stocks finally turned green! Extra treat tonight!"

"I bought NetEase stock because I was watching anime. What kind of amazing move is that?"
