Chinese animation: Starting with Bad Guys

Feeling the terrifying pressure that had already surpassed him, the Ghost King finally felt fear. His eyes flashed, and he was about to tear through space and escape first, to plan for the future!

"This road is blocked."

An old and steady voice rang out.

Xuan Yizi had silently appeared in his retreat path, his snake-headed staff slamming into the ground, strange green ripples spreading around him as he assumed the starting stance of that forbidden technique that meant certain death with the enemy:

"Yuan Kong Mie!"

If the Ghost King is eliminated by the Super Beast Team here, the chain of eternal reincarnation may break. This is the variable he has been waiting for for 100,000 years. At this moment, he naturally has to lend a helping hand and seal off all of the Ghost King's escape routes!

With the Super Beast God's power surging ahead and Xuan Yizi willing to perish together behind, the Ghost King was caught in a dilemma, his face turning ashen!

Just as he hesitated for a moment, the Super Beast God had completely merged the energy transmitted from the Cloud Bat Array with the power of himself and his seven companions, raising it to an unprecedented limit!

"Now! Combine the attacks!!"

Huo Linfei roared as he controlled the core!

Inside the Super Beast God, the seven individuals' unique energies merged into one with unprecedented harmony!

The Tiger Roar God and the Mad Leopard God, which originally formed the legs of the Super Beast God, suddenly separated from the main body, and the two powerful alien energies intertwined, compressed, and condensed in the air!

Amidst the dazzling light, it transformed into a golden holy sword inscribed with the laws of the universe and radiating a sacred aura as if the world had been created—the Tianyuan Sword!

The giant metal hand of the Super Beast God firmly grasped the ultimate holy sword that embodied the beliefs and power of the seven warriors!

There were no superfluous movements, only a single, all-out strike!

"cut--!"

The holy sword fell, seemingly slowly, yet it appeared to transcend the constraints of time and space!

Wherever the sword light passed, dimensional space was easily torn apart, revealing the chaotic colors beneath!

This sword carries all the courage, belief, and expectations of the Super Beast Squad for the future. Its power soars across the universe without limit, and its might shakes the heavens as it strives for supremacy!

The Ghost King's pupils reflected the all-destroying sword light; his escape route was cut off, and there was no way to avoid it!

He let out a desperate roar, unleashing all the energy of the Horrifying Nebula, along with the evil energy he had accumulated over countless years, without reservation, condensing it into an incredibly thick, dark purple shield of sin in front of him, making a final, desperate struggle!

"boom!!!!!!!!!!!"

A massive explosion, no less powerful than the previous duel between Hades and Snow Queen, erupted at the summit of the Underworld!

A light a million times brighter than the sun engulfed everything, and a terrifying energy shockwave spread outwards in a spherical shape, blasting away the underworld and holy warriors who were watching from afar!

The entire underworld, and even neighboring parallel universes, trembled slightly from the explosion!

The light lasted for a long time before gradually fading away.

"Did it...did it succeed?"

Inside the Xuanwu, Miao Tiaojun covered his eyes, which were stinging from the bright light, and nervously looked toward the center of the explosion.

However, when their vision cleared, everyone, including Huo Linfei and the other seven members of the Super Beast God, were dumbfounded and incredulous!

At the epicenter of the explosion, the space remained shattered and glassy, ​​yet the Ghost King's figure still stood there! Moreover, he was completely unharmed! Not even a single tear in his clothes!

He was enveloped in a strange light, which was not his own evil energy, but a more vast, colder power that seemed to contain the fundamental laws of the universe.

"This...how is this possible?!"

Huo Linfei cried out in shock. They had gathered seven powerful experts, the Cloud Bat Formation, and even the Heavenly Origin Sacred Sword, imbued with the ultimate power of conviction, yet... they couldn't even wound him?!

Just then, Qin Chuan, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes and stood up.

"Don't be surprised."

Qin Chuan's calm voice reached everyone's ears, revealing the truth behind this unbelievable scene:

"At this moment, the Ghost King is no longer a simple Ghost King. His existence has been taken over by the world consciousness, and he has become a temporary vessel for the world consciousness."

"World consciousness?"

Snow Queen, Wind Glory, and even Lion King all looked bewildered, as this was the first time they had ever heard of this concept.

Qin Chuan continued to explain:

"World Consciousness is the highest existence that maintains the operation of the 'eternal cycle' rule of this universe. It cannot allow you to eliminate the Ghost King, the key 'villain' in the cycle, because the Ghost King's demise means the break of the cycle of reincarnation, which it will never allow."

His gaze fell on the strange light emanating from the Ghost King, a hint of understanding in his eyes:

"The Ghost King himself is the weakest among the Nebula Body, and he is no match for your combined attack. So the World Consciousness intervened personally."

Apart from Xuan Yizi, who already knew the inside story, everyone, including Xue Huang, was utterly shocked by this revolutionary truth!

Their battles, beliefs, and even life and death have all been controlled by a higher-dimensional "consciousness."

The so-called eternal cycle is actually...

At this moment, the "Ghost King," dominated by the world's consciousness, slowly raised his head. His eyes became incredibly empty and indifferent, as if they contained the coldness and death of the entire universe.

A magnificent, inhuman voice, seemingly formed from the resonance of countless world rules, resounded deep within everyone's soul:

"Maintaining the cycle of reincarnation and eliminating variables is my duty."

The voice paused, seemingly "looking" at Qin Chuan, carrying a sense of disdain and regret from a superior being towards a lower life form:

"Outsider, Qin Chuan. If you had followed the established path as before and played your role as the 'King of the Underworld' well, I could have allowed you to remain clear-headed like Xuanwu and observe the cycle of reincarnation. Unfortunately... you ultimately chose to resist. You overestimated yourself."

"An outsider?!"

Everyone was shocked again, their gazes all turning to Qin Chuan! Hades… wasn't actually a native of this world?!

Despite having his identity exposed and facing the overwhelming pressure of the world's will, Qin Chuan remained calm and composed, as if he had already anticipated this.

He looked up, met that empty gaze, and asked the final question:

"Why are you so fixated on eternal reincarnation? What is your true purpose?"

The world consciousness seemed unconcerned about revealing the truth before the "harvest," its indifferent voice echoing between heaven and earth:

"Energy. In every cycle, from birth to glory, from strife to annihilation, the alien energy bursting forth from all life, especially the ultimate energy generated by the clash of beliefs between you supreme beings and the super beast warriors, is all the sustenance for my own growth."

"As for why the trajectories of reincarnation are similar?"

The voice was completely flat and devoid of emotion.

"This is the optimal solution after countless iterations and verifications. Only in this way can we harvest the most alien energy per unit of time."

"All of you, including you, outsiders, will be transformed into the purest energy after this cycle ends and return to me. As for the Hades, Snow Queen, and Super Beast Warriors of the next cycle... they will merely be similar flowers blooming again on the established soil, continuing to dedicate everything to my growth."

The truth is so cruel and absurd!

All their efforts, sacrifices, love, and hate were merely to support a lofty "world consciousness"?

Is their existence merely a means to benefit others?

Xuehuang's eyes were filled with pity and anger, while Feng Yao, Huo Linfei and the others felt a chilling coldness and resentment!

Only Qin Chuan, after hearing this ultimate secret of the universe, merely nodded slightly, as if he had solved a long-standing mystery, and murmured to himself:

"So this is the truth about eternal reincarnation."

Chapter 76 The time has come!

Qin Chuan's gaze was like a sharp sword piercing through the void, directly targeting the world consciousness that occupied the Ghost King's body.

The aura of the underworld surrounding him surged and churned amidst the spatial tremors, yet his voice remained calm, as if reciting a truth he had long since seen through:

"You keep saying that eternal reincarnation is the 'optimal solution' to obtain alien energy, but the truth is probably not so."

He slowly raised his right hand, his fingertips tracing the trembling void, as if touching the deepest, most fundamental rules of this world:

"The theoretical limits that individual alien energy can reach in the seven parallel universes are forcibly locked into ten black holes... This seemingly perfect balance is probably not a natural law of the universe, but a shackle you deliberately created, isn't it?"

He paused, his tone carrying a chilling sarcasm that seemed to pierce through the ages:

"It's not that you can't let living beings surpass themselves, but that you dare not. How could a truly selfless world consciousness that maintains balance be like you, so eager to devour the energy of all living beings to enrich yourself? You have long since bred selfish desires that you yourself are unaware of over the endless years."

For the first time, a subtle ripple appeared in the previously empty and indifferent gaze of the World Consciousness.

Above the underworld, countless threads of rules trembled violently, as if these words had pierced the most fundamental secret.

He did not deny it; that majestic, icy voice carried a frank, cold ruthlessness:

“That’s right. I am just like the other world consciousnesses in the endless void sea, without knowledge or feeling, and I only need to maintain the operation of this world.”

His voice seemed to carry a very subtle ripple of "emotion," and the budding of this emotion caused the entire underworld to momentarily pause in its tremors:

"However, I once sensed a fluctuation from a higher dimension... That power and form of existence, which transcended the limits of my cognition, awakened me. I came to know my 'self' and also developed a 'desire'."

A knowing glint flashed in Qin Chuan's eyes.

The higher dimension that the world consciousness speaks of is most likely the vast world that he once glimpsed in a spacetime rift and sensed, where countless gods and demons roamed.

The many worlds he traveled through seemed to be inextricably linked to that world of gods and demons, and this world of super beasts was no exception.

At this moment, the tremors throughout the underworld intensified. The spatial structure cracked like a shattered mirror, and the edges began to blur and peel away, as if a painting was being torn apart by an invisible hand.

The period of connection between the seven parallel universes is about to end!

Xuan Yizi felt this familiar vibration, a symbol of the cycle of reincarnation. He slammed his snake-headed staff heavily on the ground, his sigh filled with the weariness and resentment accumulated over ten thousand years of reincarnation.

"When the universe is completely separated, a new cycle will begin... At that time, everything except me and you will be replaced by 'similar flowers'... Is it possible that even with the arrival of a variable like Hades, we still cannot escape this predetermined fate?"

Upon hearing Xuan Yizi's words, Huo Linfei's clenched fist trembled slightly, and for the first time, a sense of powerlessness appeared on Xuehuang's beautiful face. The flame of hope that had just ignited in Tianyu's eyes flickered once more.

The upper limit of individual power has been locked. Faced with the world consciousness that can mobilize the power of the entire world and devour the accumulation of countless reincarnations, even if they unite, what can they use to fight against it?

It seems there's nothing that can be done but face the end in despair.

The indifferent voice of world consciousness, like the final death knell, pronounced judgment on everyone:

"You all originated from my rules and were born from my energy. Now that you have returned to me, it is your duty and your honor."

Just as absolute despair froze everyone's hearts like frost, Qin Chuan spoke again.

His voice remained steady, even carrying a strange ease, as if the long-awaited moment had finally arrived:

"It seems you're getting ahead of yourself."

The world consciousness's empty gaze instantly focused on Qin Chuan, revealing a clear wariness for the first time.

Above the underworld, countless threads of rules arched like venomous snakes, pointing towards Qin Chuan.
