Chinese animation: Starting with Bad Guys

However, the endings were strikingly similar.

It was also a huge and strange void, like a festering wound on the skin of the universe, that appeared without warning in the core star field of the Pangu civilization.

The aura emanating from that void distorted the very fabric of spacetime, causing the light of stars to be strangely deflected as it passed its edges.

Similarly, an indescribable figure exuding an aura of supreme indifference emerged from within. Its form sometimes solidified like a physical entity, and sometimes dissipated like stardust. In the same way, it regarded the entire Pangu civilization as a ripe fruit and carried out a ruthless and efficient "harvest".

The only difference is that the "extraterrestrial" that appeared this time is not the same entity as the one that devoured the Divine River Civilization.

A chilling truth surfaced in Qin Chuan's mind, coiling around his heart like a cold, venomous snake:

There are multiple beings from higher dimensions who regard this universe as their nursery.

The brilliant civilizations that emerged from them were the "seeds" they sowed.

Once a civilization reaches a certain peak, these "farmers" will cross the boundary to carry out periodic "harvesting".

He even suspected that the void knowledge that Death God Karl had devoted his life to researching and believed could lead to the advancement of civilization was itself a "bait" and "cultivation manual" deliberately spread by these higher-dimensional beings.

When a civilization has studied this kind of knowledge to its fullest extent and touched upon the so-called "ultimate fear," it has just reached the standard of "ripe fruit" and is ready to be harvested.

This idea sent a chill down Qin Chuan's spine. Perhaps the most advanced intelligence in the universe was on a preordained path to destruction from the very beginning.

With this weighty gain and an almost certain guess, Qin Chuan's consciousness suddenly broke free from the constraints of the river of time and space and returned to the present world.

Even with his near-perfect will and divine body, he felt an unprecedented weariness after traversing billions of years of time.

A rare look of weariness appeared on his face, his usually upright posture relaxed slightly, and the radiant light surrounding him dimmed, like a candle flickering in the wind.

Keisha, who had been quietly watching over him, noticed his state immediately.

Her heart skipped a beat, thinking he had suffered a time warp.

Without the slightest hesitation, she immediately stepped forward, her slender white palms gathering a warm golden light—the most primal energy of her divine body—and was about to press it against Qin Chuan's chest.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Qin Chuan gently but firmly grasped her wrist, stopping her from moving.

His voice was hoarse from prolonged mental strain, "I've just been watching for too long and I'm a little tired. I'll be fine after a rest."

He pulled Keisha to sit down on a floating starstone beside him, and slowly and clearly recounted everything he had witnessed in the river of time and space: the sudden destruction of the two great civilizations of Shenhe and Pangu, the ruthless "harvesting" scenes of multiple high-dimensional beings, and the terrifying speculation that the knowledge of the void was actually a deadly bait.

Keisha was deeply shaken, and the color drained slightly from her beautiful face.

She traversed the universe for tens of thousands of years, believing she understood the cruelty and truth of this world, but never considered that civilization itself might be nothing more than domesticated livestock.

After a long silence, she murmured, "So that's how it is... No wonder that in the known fragments of the universe's history, no civilization has ever truly survived for more than 100,000 years..."

When a civilization develops to the point where it can touch the fundamental rules of the universe, it faces its end. This is not accidental, but a predetermined fate.

What puzzled her even more was: "Where did these higher-dimensional beings, these 'farmers,' come from? Are they from beyond the unknown universe? What is their purpose?"

Qin Chuan shook his head, his gaze deep, as if piercing through the barrier of the super-god universe, looking towards the endless distance beyond the rules:

"No, I think I already know their origins."

He recalled his experiences in another world, where the auras, though more powerful and terrifying, were remarkably similar in essence.

He paused, then continued, his voice low and solemn:

"They come from an exceptionally powerful and ancient world, where gods and demons coexist, the strong are numerous, and the law of the jungle is the only and eternal rule. Devouring the origins of other worlds' civilizations and absorbing the essence of a universe may be one of the ways they strengthen themselves, prolong their existence, or even advance to a higher level."

Keisha's beautiful eyes were filled with surprise and contemplation: "Beyond the universe... the multiverse... there really are other completely different worlds? And they're connected in this... predatory form?"

"Hmm." Qin Chuan nodded, deciding not to hide his background any longer. "Actually, I am not a native being of this universe either. Before this, I had dealt with these guys and helped another world resist and ultimately resolve their invasion."

He spoke lightly, but Keisha could imagine the unimaginable hardships and fierce battles behind it.

This news shocked Keisha even more than the fact that she had learned of the existence of higher dimensions.

Her deep blue eyes widened slightly as she looked at the man she deeply loved and believed she understood.

But after a brief moment of surprise, an overwhelming sense of pride and love welled up inside her, almost filling her heart completely.

The god she chose was not only the strongest being in this universe, but also a deity who travels through various realms, protects civilizations, and fights against the true apocalypse! His magnanimity and sense of responsibility are completely different from those evil beings who only know how to be high above and plunder and devour!

Overwhelming love and indescribable heartache intertwined, like a warm tide engulfing Keisha.

She no longer needed words; at this moment, she only wanted to use her own way to soothe the rare weariness between her lover's brows and to convey the surging emotions in her heart.

She leaned forward, her slender, jade-like fingers gently stroking his slightly tired brows and cheeks, her eyes filled with unspoken words.

Finally, she pressed her soft, red lips, with a hint of determination and boundless tenderness, onto his slightly cool lips.

Beneath the silent yet dazzling starry sky, countless stars silently revolve, like countless sparkling diamonds adorning black velvet.

As the two figures embraced, they gradually merged. Behind Keisha, the slightly open silver wings gently enveloped them, forming a private and sacred space that surrounded them, as if they had become the warmest and most solid presence in this vast universe.

All the weariness, the heavy truth, and the unknown threats seemed to be quietly dispelled and melted away at this moment by this burning love that transcends the boundaries of the world and time.

Chapter 61 If the Queen loves me, then she is not my Queen

After a long while, the two figures reappeared clearly under the starry sky.

After a tender moment, Qin Chuan's fatigue vanished, and he looked radiant.

Keisha, the former queen of the gods, had shed most of her majesty at this moment, her eyes showing more gentleness and dependence, like an ordinary woman immersed in love, gently nestled beside Qin Chuan.

Starlight fell, gilding the two with a gentle silver hue, as if the entire universe had fallen silent, just to witness this moment of peace.

Just then, a clandestine communication request came in, and Liang Bing's image, with her characteristic languid smile, was projected in front of the two of them.

She originally planned to take credit with Qin Chuan by sending Soton to help Sun Wukong fight and using divine punishment to intercept the fierce tide; this was a great achievement.

Liang Bing's red lips parted slightly, about to speak, but she suddenly stopped.

But her alluring eyes swept back and forth between Qin Chuan and Keisha twice, instantly catching the unusual atmosphere and the soft light on her sister's face that she had never seen before.

She was filled with suspicion, a playful smile curving her lips, her eyes seeming to say, "You two must have done something 'good' behind my back!"

She deliberately dragged out the last syllable, with a hint of teasing and a touch of inquiry.

A feeling of envy welled up within me.

Although she is a demon queen who advocates depravity and freedom, like the former Keisha, she is actually completely ignorant about matters of love and sex.

However, there was no jealousy in their envy. Since reconciling with Keisha, they had regained their former intimacy and had even made a tacit agreement to become Qin Chuan's guardian angels together, it was just a matter of order.

Liang Bing's gaze lingered on Keisha's slightly flushed cheeks and Qin Chuan's satisfied expression. She sighed softly in her heart, but it was quickly replaced by a spirit of not giving up.

Seeing that Keisha had already "gotten ahead," Liang Bing thought to herself that she also needed to seize the opportunity to "catch up." Her eyes flickered as she began to plan how to create some opportunities to be "alone."

Faced with Liang Bing's ambiguous gaze, which shifted from suspicion to relief, and then to encouragement, even Qin Chuan, who wasn't easily embarrassed, couldn't quite handle it. He coughed lightly and said:

"Thank you so much for what happened on Earth this time."

Keisha, on the other hand, acted with perfect naturalness, as if everything was meant to be this way. She nodded slightly at her sister's image, her tone carrying a rare, almost gentle, approval: "Well done, Liangbing."

This affirmation was almost unimaginable for them in the past.

Upon receiving affirmation from the two women, especially the older sister, Liang Bing was overjoyed, like a child who had received long-awaited candy. Her eyes crinkled with delight as she revealed her true purpose:

"I've got everything arranged on my end, and I'm ready to step down. At such an important moment, shouldn't you two be here to witness it?"

Qin Chuan and Keisha exchanged a knowing smile, their eyes filled with understanding and tacit agreement, and readily agreed.

The next moment, the two figures appeared in the command hall of Devil One above Earth.

In the hall where gloom and technology intertwine, the flowing dark energy seemed to freeze for a moment.

The demon warriors in the hall were all elites, and they immediately recognized the angel queen Keisha, who had fought against their queen for tens of thousands of years!

The aura of holiness and majesty, and the powerful sense of oppression, made these battle-hardened demons hold their breath, their muscles tense, and they dared not utter a sound. Their busy operations subconsciously stopped, and vigilance and awe intertwined in every gaze.

When they saw their Queen Morgana rushing forward, instead of drawing swords, she affectionately took Keisha's arm and called her "sister," and Keisha actually responded with "little sister," all the demons were utterly astonished!

They looked at each other, almost wondering if they were caught in some kind of collective illusion.

They were well aware of the age-old feud between the two queens and could not comprehend how this earth-shattering change had occurred.

The hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop; the only sounds were the low rumble of energy flowing through it.

When they saw Keisha and Liang Bing, one on each side, casually linking arms with the same man, and that man was none other than the unfathomable Earth God, all the demons instantly understood and exclaimed how awesome it was.

This amazing person actually managed to defeat both the queens of angels and demons in one go! What incredible skill this is!

After the initial shock, a sense of absurdity yet perfectly logical realization silently spread among the demons.

However, among this group of shocked and bewildered demons, one person had a completely different attitude.

Sheeyi is about to take over the throne of the Demon Queen.

She possessed a face as pure and flawless as an angel's, with skin as white as snow, and features as exquisite as a meticulously sculpted work of art. Her bright eyes, which should have been clear and captivating, were now sharp and piercing due to her turbulent emotions.

But beneath that innocent-looking face lies a devilish figure that could set any man's blood boiling. Full breasts, a slender waist, long legs, and a pert bottom are all outlined in breathtaking curves by tight-fitting dark alloy armor. The extreme purity and extreme desire create a strong and alluring contrast in her.

At this moment, there was no joy on her beautiful face, but rather a deep sense of disappointment and resentment, as if covered with a layer of frost.

She felt that Liang Bing's actions were an abandonment and betrayal of all of them, the demons!

Especially when he saw Liang Bing and Qin Chuan being so intimate, this sense of abandonment and a certain secret jealousy intertwined and reached its peak.

Her nails were digging almost into her palms.

Xueyi could no longer hold back. She stepped forward and laid out her thoughts, her voice filled with agitation and indignation:

"Queen! Are you leaving like this? For an outsider? Abandoning us, the warriors who followed you and believed in you? Abandoning the decadent kingdom of freedom we built together?"

Her voice echoed in the hall, filled with questioning and resentment.

Liang Bing remained calm, having anticipated the questions. Her gaze slowly swept over all the silent demons present, and she asked, "Is that what you all think too?"

The demons all lowered their heads, not daring to meet her gaze, but their silence showed that their thoughts were similar to Shee's.

A silent protest and confusion permeated the air.

Liang Bing spoke again, her voice not loud but clear enough to reach every corner of the hall, so that every demon could hear her clearly: "Tell me, what is the belief that we demons hold?"

The hall was deathly silent; you could hear a pin drop.

Only the most loyal Ator remained silent for a moment, like a rock, before answering in a deep voice: "It is freedom, Queen."

His voice was deep and firm.

Ato stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over his colleagues before finally settling on Xueyi's face, and he spoke for Liang Bing, saying what she wanted to say:

"Under the Queen's protection, we are able to pursue the freedom we desire in the universe. Whether it is right or wrong, justice or evil, we are able to make choices according to our own will. This is the greatest grace the Queen has bestowed upon us."
