The afterlife blew up Gensokyo

As the most powerful race in the world, no calamity could wipe out the entire Eastern God Clan... except for themselves.

While they brought an end to the chaotic era of war among all races and brought true peace to the world, they also brought true annihilation to it.

This is the Great Wilderness.

When peace arrives, the balance will be broken. This is due to the world's anger at the countless immortal beings in the Great Wilderness. The world itself cannot bear this endless demand, so a cataclysmic disaster targeting all races in the Great Wilderness will come.

Although the Eastern God Clan had foreseen this and tried to find a perfect solution, one cannot have both fish and bear's paw.

Seeing that disaster was about to strike and all the races of the Great Wilderness would be destroyed, after informing them of the prophecy that the cataclysmic disaster would come a thousand years later, the Eastern God Clan sacrificed all its members to heaven and earth, delaying the arrival of this disaster by a full thousand years...

This is the real reason why the Eastern God Clan, once the strongest race in the Great Wilderness and the one who brought peace to the world, was wiped out overnight!

"This really is... a remarkable race..."

After reading the entire text, Shi Bai couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

The system he possesses is the last legacy left behind by the Eastern God Clan before they decided to sacrifice the entire clan to give the myriad races of the Great Wilderness time to escape.

The so-called summoning function is simply a method chosen by the Eastern God Clan to explore other worlds in order to solve their problems. But for a race with the courage to sacrifice its entire clan for the sake of the world, how could they possibly do something like invading other worlds?

"Perhaps the so-called most perfect race should not exist in this world at all. Being too perfect is a sin in itself... just like Colonel Chu Xuan."

After muttering a few words, Shi Bai reached out and patted the snowflakes off his head and clothes. But as he turned to leave, a line of fluorescent text appeared on the system interface in front of him.

[Talent interface is now available]

"Talent Interface?"

After stopping and thinking for a moment, Shi Bai opened the third interface that the system had opened, following the [Summoning] and [Achievement] interfaces.

Unlike the Achievements interface, which only has two achievements lying alone, the newly opened Talents interface has a large number of talents that are dark gray and unlit.

Above these unactivated talents, two golden talents were prominently displayed; these were his two unique talents.

[Immortality] and [True Luck]

To be honest, he was almost blinded by the dazzling special effects of his two talents.

"Hmm... So all these un-activated talents can be activated? Speaking of which, since this system follows the principle of equivalent exchange, where do these talents come from... wait a minute."

After a slight pause, Shi Bai suddenly thought of a very likely possibility.

【Qing Nang】: Provides a significant boost to medical-related effects.

【Immortal】: With a sword in hand, one strike can sever all laws.

【Wind God】: Grants a significant speed boost.

....................................

As Shi Bai read through the list of powerful talents, he was almost dazzled. Although he had previously learned from Feng Yan that almost the entire Eastern God Clan possessed various powerful talents, he hadn't taken it seriously at the time.

But after seeing these talents, he truly understood the power of the Eastern God Clan, once the strongest race in the Great Wilderness.

Although the descriptions of these talents maintained the system's concise style and seemed somewhat vague, he could still deduce some information from these few words.

That's right, these talents appearing in the system's talent interface are the powerful talents once possessed by the legendary Eastern God Clan!

The newly appeared [Talent] interface of this system represents the true inheritance of the Eastern Divine Clan!

"If I hadn't wanted to come and visit the former settlement of the Eastern God Clan, I wouldn't know when this [Talent] interface would have been unlocked..."

After clicking to close the system's so-called "Talent" interface, Shi Bai raised his head and squinted at the sky.

As time passed, the snow fell heavier and heavier, turning the world into a vast expanse of white. No one could have imagined that beneath this breathtakingly beautiful scene, the end of the world would soon follow…

"It's just a pity that unlocking these powerful talents doesn't seem to be something that can be done in a short period of time... But I have plenty of time, so I'll take it one step at a time."

Stretching slightly, feeling a bit weary, Shi Bai took out his phone again and snapped a few photos of the vast, snowy landscape before him. After all, such a rare and beautiful sight was unlikely to be seen again in the future.

The Eastern God Clan was willing to sacrifice themselves to buy time for the fate of all the races in the Great Wilderness, while the races of the Great Wilderness, not wanting to return to the chaotic era of war, unanimously chose to leave the hope of survival to their descendants.

In the end, there's really no difference between them.

Perhaps, as Feng Yan said, the large-scale existence of immortal beings is a mistake of the world, but have they really done anything wrong?

After letting out a soft sigh, he turned to look at the long staircase he had come up from, and after thinking for a moment... Shi Bai decisively chose to jump off the cliff to respawn.

Hmm...maybe dying a lot will unlock another "500 kills" achievement for me...

P.S.: Book recommendation. This author is an old friend of mine. We were co-authors when I started my first book, and now we're co-authors again, lol~

My Guest is from the 2D World

Shirayuki inherited a small shop that could invite guests from all sorts of different worlds.

Now that he's inherited a fortune, why bother working hard? He can ignore all the guests and just play video games by himself until the end of time.

But let's take a look at what kind of guests they have:

The female knight, holding a spear in one hand and covered in blood, looked as if she had just been stabbed through the neck by her own "son".

A kind and upright warm-hearted man who carries his younger sister, who can change her size at will, on his back in a box;

An artificial life form that was shot in the head by friendly fire and could only temporarily house its main body inside a mechanical dog...

"Wow, doing business is so much fun!"

My Guest is from the 2D World

Chapter Twenty-One: Creatures Remnants of the Mythical Age

This is likely the first time Shi Bai has witnessed the destruction of the world firsthand.

At that moment, he stood atop a high cliff, looking up at the precarious sky above. The gray, twilight-like sky was now covered with countless cracks.

The sun in the sky had completely darkened, its dim light like an oil lamp that would go out at any moment, presenting a deathly and cold color.

"Alright, take them both to the Heavenly Realm now."

Feng Yan's voice came from behind him. When he turned around, he saw Feng Yan carrying Xiao Xi and walking towards him, with Xiao Ye following behind him in silence.

"...You told her everything?"

Shi Bai carefully took Xiao Xi from Feng Hui's arms and glanced at him.

"You still have to say it eventually, right?"

Looking up at the sky, Feng Yan smiled nonchalantly.

“I owe her so much, it’s a pity that I have never taken good care of her in the past thousand years… I’m entrusting her to you from now on.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Yan transformed into his true form, becoming an enormous and beautiful phoenix. After turning his head and nodding to him, he flew into the sky.

"Xiaoye, let's go too."

With his eyes half-closed, looking at the increasingly dim sun in the sky, Shi Bai held Xiao Xi in one arm and reached out to take Xiao Ye's hand.

"...Go to the Heavenly Realm."

As Shi Bai and his two companions quietly disappeared from the mountaintop, the sky grew even darker.

The sun in the sky finally lost all its color, and the sunlight felt not warm at all, but rather chilling.

As the numerous cracks covering the entire sky multiplied, the world took on a gray and aged appearance, like a mirror that had been smashed to pieces and held together with glue, before finally shattering completely at some point.

And it was precisely at this moment that the sun in the sky, after bursting forth with a final burst of brilliance and splendor, completely plunged into a deathly darkness.

The whole world finally went completely dark.

Accompanied by the continuous shattering sounds coming from the dark sky, a faint whistling sound seemed to drift through the air... Destruction was beginning to officially descend upon this world.

This is an absolute catastrophe that no living being can escape.

But at some point, the light returned.

Having burned everything within herself, the last golden crow in the world raised her head and soared into the dark, shattered sky. Sacrificing everything, she transformed into the sun, once again illuminating this dark world.

However, darkness soon swallowed the sunlight again. Faced with the darkness that swept across the world, the new sun seemed insignificant, flickering like a weak lamp.

The faint sound of laughter seemed to drift through the air.

Before this final, poignant moment of life, beams of light of various colors pierced through the heavens and the earth, penetrating the vast darkness beneath the dark sky...

One after another, powerful beings ignited themselves before the light that illuminated the entire world, returning everything they had gained from this world in an almost resolute manner.

Brilliant, seemingly beautiful pillars of light connecting heaven and earth rose one after another, supporting the last bridge of life in this world... but destruction continued unabated.

The earth began to tremble.

A deafening roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth... a true cataclysmic event.

—It is already the end of the world.

"In the distant past, the Stone was uprooted to become the Celestial Realm, and all life on Earth was wiped out, marking the Third Mass Extinction... But no matter how magnificent this scene was, its remnants in later generations are reduced to only a few bland descriptions..."

Looking at the scene before him, Shi Bai chuckled self-deprecatingly, then gripped Xiao Ye's hand tightly, held Xiao Xi, whose eyes were still wet with tears, and finally stepped into the dim light.

The next moment, Phoenix Feather Mountain, which had existed for countless years, collapsed with a deafening roar and disappeared into the vast, dark torrent below...

..................................................................

"We can confirm one thing now: the mythical era of ancient times..."

In a quiet bamboo forest, a girl sitting at a table gently pressed her forehead with her hand.

On the bamboo table woven from green bamboo in front of her, a wooden box was placed quietly. The box had been opened, and the items that were originally stored inside had been taken out and placed on the table.

After accidentally obtaining this relic supposedly from the ancient mythological era, the girl spent quite a bit of time before she could barely figure out the function of the items stored in this magical box.

The most amazing thing was the ordinary, unremarkable wooden box in front of her.

Although the box doesn't look very big, once you open it, you'll find 27 compartments arranged in a row.

After numerous repeated experiments, the girl discovered that the compartments inside the box could hold almost anything except living things. Even a boulder hundreds of times larger than the box could be placed inside if you could move it.

The box has a total of 27 compartments. Each compartment can hold a maximum of 64 of the same item, but they must be identical to a certain extent to be placed in the same compartment.

At the same time, this wooden box is extremely lightweight. Even if you put a total of 1728 large stones inside, the weight of the box will not change at all.

However, the so-called magic of this box does not lie in this, because if it were only this level, it would not be worth her spending a lot of energy studying it.

The most amazing thing about this box is that she discovered it was made of just ordinary, unremarkable wood, the kind of wood she could even find near the bamboo forest, without any external force attached to it.

Even though she meticulously replicated the original box in every aspect, including the texture of its surface, achieving a 100% perfect reproduction, the box she made was still just an ordinary wooden box.

...It is completely incomprehensible, there is no way to imitate it, and the principle that constitutes this magical box is completely unknown.

This is what's bothering her the most right now.

Even with her abilities, she couldn't do the slightest analysis. It should be said... that it truly is a creation left over from the mythological era.

The girl frowned slightly.

Chapter Twenty-Two: The Origin of the Legend, Spanning Millions of Years

Time flies and the world changes dramatically.

Although very little information has been left behind from the magnificent mythological era of ancient times, there are still some traces left behind.

Ever since she accidentally came across information about that ancient mythological era, the girl has developed a great interest in it.

There are various reasons and evidence to suggest that the ancient mythological era was an exceptionally brilliant age, teeming with powerful beings. Unfortunately, due to a mysterious catastrophe, almost everything was destroyed in an instant.

What kind of disaster did they encounter that led to their complete annihilation? How powerful would they be if they existed in today's world? ... No one knows.

Since accidentally obtaining this magical box a few months ago, the girl has been researching it. After studying the box carefully for a long time, she came to a conclusion.

—The creations of the ancient mythological era are beyond her comprehension now.

Furthermore, judging from the bowl of leftover, noodle-like food that has been stored in the box until now, and is still warm even when just taken out, the function of this creation, which she found incredibly magical, was merely to store items.

Having been stored in the box for so long, it was as if it had just been put in, and it was even still warm... This was beyond her comprehension.

There was no special power involved; such a magical item could be created simply by combining a few ordinary pieces of wood... Just how splendid was that era?

Looking at the bowl of leftover noodles and soup in front of her, still steaming hot, the girl could only sigh.

Besides this item, the box also contained several other miscellaneous items. For example, there was a small object with an incredibly intricate structure, consisting entirely of hundreds of interlocking gears and components.
