I am the Arcane Archer, and all my skills are self-created.

His voice wasn't loud.

But clearly, it lingers in this desolate, unified realm.

With his voice.

A gigantic human figure, also composed of gray and white principles.

It slowly condensed in the sky.

The figure had no specific facial features.

But everyone could feel the boundless anger and killing intent emanating from him.

"Li Wu!"

He let out a thunderous roar.

"You damned thief!"

"You stole everything that should have been mine!"

"Today, I will utterly crush you and your laughable possibility!"

boom!

With his roar.

The entire "Unification Domain" was in an uproar.

An endless, gray-white law of uniformity.

It transformed into a world-destroying storm of laws.

It swept towards Li Wu from all directions.

It looked as if it wanted to crush him into the most insignificant dust in the universe.

On the city wall, Hua Zitong and the others held their breath in tension.

Their hearts were in their throats.

however.

Faced with this devastating blow, enough to make any god tremble in fear.

Li Wu simply shook his head dismissively.

"steal?"

"Will, don't you understand yet?"

"You and I are on completely different paths."

"What you're pursuing is control, definition, and turning everything into the one and only answer you want."

"What I seek is understanding, guidance, and embracing all the possibilities of this world."

"You are a slave to the rules."

"And me..."

Li Wu slowly raised his hand.

Facing the sweeping, world-destroying storm of laws.

A gentle touch.

"I am the rule."

The words fell.

An unbelievable scene unfolded.

That violent storm of the Law of Unity, powerful enough to destroy everything.

They were less than a meter away from Li Wu.

It suddenly stopped.

Then they began to transform into each other in an extremely bizarre way.

The gray "annihilation" has turned into the golden "creation".

The white "nothingness" has transformed into a colorful "existence".

The cold "end" has turned into a warm "beginning".

In just one second.

That devastating apocalyptic storm.

It turned into a scene filled with life and hope...

The rain of creation.

Countless new laws are born and evolve in the rain.

The entire gray and white, deathly silent "Reunification Domain".

At this moment, it was dyed with a variety of colors.

It became vibrant and full of life.

"No! No! This is impossible!"

The enormous figure in the sky let out an incredulous scream.

"My laws! My unity! Why... why did you betray me?!"

"I told you."

Li Wu looked at him, her eyes filled with pity.

"In my world."

"I am the only law."

"Your so-called definitions are meaningless here."

"Because, how do we even define the act itself?"

"It's all up to me."

After saying that, Li Wu gently blew a breath towards the figure that was beginning to collapse.

"Let's call it a day."

call!

A gentle breeze blew by.

That terrifying Unifier who once gave Li Wu and all the Transcendent Ones a major headache.

Like a statue made of sand.

It vanished silently with the wind.

Not even a trace of its existence was left.

The battle is over.

In a way that no one could have imagined.

Clean and neat.

It could even be said that there was no suspense whatsoever.

The sky has returned to its azure blue.

The sun shines on the earth once again.

It was as if the apocalyptic scene just now was nothing more than an absurd nightmare.

On the walls of the city that never falls, all is deathly silent.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the figure who remained standing with his hands behind his back, seemingly unperturbed.

My mind went completely blank.

Is that... all there is to it?

That final boss who almost destroyed the entire world.

Just like that... it was blown away in one breath?

They didn't even have time to see clearly what had happened.

"Gulp."

Someone swallowed hard.

It broke the deathly silence.

"I...I'm not dreaming, am I?"

Chasing the wind, he muttered to himself.

He pinched himself hard.

"Ouch...it hurts!"

"It's true!"

"We...won?"

"We won!"

After a brief confirmation.

A wave of ecstasy, a hundred times stronger than before, surged forth.

It swept through the entire city in an instant.

"We won! We won!"

"Long live the president!"

"Long live Li Wu!"

Everyone was screaming, shouting, and hugging each other wildly.

They were venting their joy at surviving the ordeal.

Hua Zitong watched the figure slowly descend from the sky amidst cheers.

Her eyes filled with tears again.

But this time, the tears were tears of joy and pride.

Her man.

Her hero.

He saved the world.

however.

Just then.

An out-of-place, cold, emotionless, mechanically synthesized voice.

Suddenly, it rang in everyone's mind.

The final trial is complete.

[Variable "Li Wu", rating: S+, exceeding expectations.]

[Meets "recycling" standards.]

[Starting the final purification process.]

[Countdown begins.]

[10, 9, 8...]

That cold, emotionless mechanical voice was like a basin of icy water drawn up from the deepest abyss.

The jubilation and excitement of everyone was extinguished in an instant.

The entire city that never falls into a deathly silence once again.

Everyone's face was filled with confusion and fear.

The final trial?

回收？

Purification process?

What are all these things?

"It's...it's the trader!"

Gu Yuan's face instantly turned ashen.

He remembered the most crucial, and also the cruelest, truth that Li Wu had told him before.

They were just guinea pigs.

Now, the experiment is over.

The experimental subjects are about to be "recycled".

What does "recycling" mean? What does "purification" mean?

"Chasing the wind," he asked anxiously.

An extremely ominous premonition rose in his heart.

"It means..."

Cangming's voice was incredibly dry.

"He's going to format the world."

"He wants to wipe us out completely, along with everything in this universe."

"And then he started again, his next experiment."

boom!

Cangming's words were like a real nuclear bomb.

It exploded in everyone's mind.

format?

erase?

They have just defeated the final boss.

We have just seen the dawn of victory.

Now, the player and their save file are going to be deleted together?

What is this?

Why should I?!

An uncontrollable sense of absurdity and anger welled up in everyone's hearts.

However, there was nothing they could do.

They could feel an irresistible force.

It is descending from the end of the dimension.

That power was billions of times more terrifying than that of the One Who Returns to One.

Faced with that power, they couldn't even muster the thought of resistance.

They could only watch helplessly as the cold countdown reached zero.

They await their fate of being "purified".

[7, 6, 5...]

Despair spread among the people like a plague.

Someone collapsed to the ground, their face ashen.

Some people buried their heads in their hands and wept bitterly, cursing their unjust fate.

Hua Zitong instinctively rushed towards Li Wu.

She wanted to be with him in the final moments of her life.

however.

To everyone's surprise,

The person who should have been the most angry and desperate.

Li Wu.

His face, however, remained expressionless.

There was no anger.

There was no fear.

There wasn't even the slightest ripple.

He simply gazed at the sky in silence.

It was as if they had foreseen all of this.

"Li Wu?"

Hua Zitong ran to his side, grabbed his hand, and her voice trembled.

"What...what should we do?"

"Don't be afraid."

Li Wu turned to look at her and smiled.

That smile was as gentle and calm as ever.

It was as if even the collapse of the sky could not move him in the slightest.

"I told you."

"I'm not playing this game anymore."

After he finished speaking, to everyone's astonishment...

He slowly raised his hand.

He snapped his fingers again, pointing towards the sky.

"Smack."

A crisp sound rang out.

However, this time...

Nothing happened.

The sky was still azure.

The cold countdown continued on.

[4, 3...]
