She didn't want to continue being forced to interact with humans, and to be forced to indirectly kill more people...

Finally, she looked directly into Fan Xiao's eyes and said, "Child, my psychic energy does indeed greatly assist your psychic energy. My power should be able to help your awakening process... I'm willing to take a gamble with you."

A passive approach will no longer solve the problem.

This might be her last chance.

She chose to... trust Fan Xiao!

Trust this child you've raised with all your heart.

She temporarily set aside her fear of the unknown and decided to seize this opportunity to fight for a possible future.

At that moment, she possessed human courage.

Fan Xiao smiled.

Although he himself was uncertain about the future, he encouraged the goddess girl here: "Mother, 'Quantum Immortality' can create the future. No one is better at betting on the future than me."

"You've watched me grow up, but have you seen me lose every gamble along the way?"

"So... don't worry, I can already see the future of victory."

……

After making the decision, Fan Xiao and Shen immediately took action.

Anna's strength is rapidly increasing, and her anchoring to the "present" is about to take shape.

In contrast, God gave him half of the authority of the "Twin Angels," and now he is weaker than Anna in terms of power.

They didn't have extra time to do anything unnecessary, so once the plan was decided, they immediately put it into action.

Fan Xiao opened his mind and began to accept God's integration.

Gods are beings born from the collective consciousness of humanity, and are inherently compatible with humans—human souls can merge with gods, and vice versa, but generally no one has the qualifications or ability to do this reverse process.

Fan Xiao... just happens to have the qualifications and ability.

Therefore, this method is feasible—as long as there is a probability, then "quantum immortality" can be used to lock in a 100% chance of occurrence.

In addition, he now has the "All-Round Domain" to assist him, so this plan is feasible.

As for why he chose to merge instead of having God relinquish authority and hand it over to him so that he could awaken his spiritual power on his own... that is also a method, but by following this method, he can only awaken an incomplete "Old Lord".

Just like in his early days, he only had killing angels but no guardian angels.

At that time, he will also have to find a way to pass the awakening test of the "Old Ones" and let this psychic power fully awaken... This is just asking for trouble for himself.

Therefore, he chose a shortcut—to completely integrate God into himself, becoming a spiritual being like the angels, completely under his control.

This process was completed very smoothly and quickly, with God completely giving up resistance.

Fan Xiao didn't linger. He glanced one last time in the direction of the Kunlun Mirror before turning his gaze away—time was running out for him to go back and say goodbye.

He began to activate "quantum immortality," continuously generating a vast amount of "his own destiny," and made a wish to awaken his psychic powers.

Given his current luck limit, he could have directly awakened A-level psionic energy.

With the assistance of the "Old Ones," his awakening of psionic energy is as fast as lightning.

In an instant, hundreds more were added.

And so, the scene that had happened at node C before was repeated.

Because he reversed the order, the test of the "curse of immortality" came prematurely.

Fortunately, this time he was well prepared.

The next instant, his consciousness was passively drawn downwards, connecting with possible futures and entering the world of the future.

Chapter 856 I'll always be here, even as the world changes.

The test of the "curse of immortality" is simple: your consciousness sinks into a possible future and lives on forever.

The person being tested will not realize that this is a virtual future.

For me, everything is a subjective truth.

Of course, this is the normal situation under theoretical conditions.

In addition to "quantum immortality," Fan Xiao now possesses two other S-level psionic abilities.

Under the protection of these two psychic powers, it is difficult for him to have his consciousness and memories affected by the awakening trial.

In other words, if he wanted to, he could participate in the awakening test in a fully conscious state—he would realize that what he was experiencing was a false world.

However, this would make no sense.

Just like the previous "test of divinity," he realized that everything was fake, so he immediately launched the Great Slaughter Technique at the start, but... it had no effect at all. He was just playing a slaughter game.

Overcoming mental barriers requires real experience; it can't be achieved by playing a game.

Therefore, this time, he once again chose to seal away some of his memories and abilities based on the actual situation of the future world.

Just like last time, he also left himself enough protection—at this moment, although he and his guardian angel Fan Sisi were separated by two eras, the Kunlun Mirror maintained their connection, and Fan Sisi's "chastity" power could be applied to him at any time.

If he develops psychological problems, Fan Sisi's power can help him negate everything, allowing his psyche to partially or completely restart.

Restarting means being able to start over.

It's like having a save point.

This is where the "Twin Angels" can assist him in the Awakening Trial—ensuring basic survival and providing some support, but not guaranteeing a successful completion.

If possible, he hopes he can avoid going through a "complete reboot".

Because completely rebooting—the act of actively reloading one's own memories and mind—is it considered killing oneself once...? To be honest, it's a bit hard to define.

Then there are the "Lords of the Old Days".

God has now taken the form of a spiritual being similar to an angel, and has become a vassal of Him.

He can use the power of the "past" perfectly through God—he can travel through and control the past without any cost.

He retained the right to use this power.

The curse of immortality is psychological. If one can keep going back to the past and keep seeing those acquaintances who died young because their lifespans were over... without a doubt, this would increase his chances of breaking through the mental barrier.

And so, Fan Xiao began his test.

The final test of my life.

……

This is a world where Anna has become a monster.

This is a world where gods are devoured by monsters.

This is a world where humanity has won freedom and victory after the death of God.

This is a world where the ghosts of a bygone era linger, unwilling to leave and constantly fighting.

……

Time flies, and countless years have been buried in the long river of history.

Even players with god-like status can only achieve longevity and long lifespan; they cannot achieve immortality.

The world is constantly changing, the rules are constantly being updated, and the old and the new will alternate. Some concepts will completely fall into silence, some concepts will transform into completely different new forms, and some concepts will merge with each other... And players with divine status whose consciousness and concepts are integrated cannot avoid being affected by such great changes in the world.

Just as energy eventually reaches a state of stagnant equilibrium due to increasing entropy, even a god-like player's mental consciousness will gradually age without any external assistance.

Although this will take a long time...

……

The new imperial calendar, 40,000 years.

Fan Xiao looked up at the leaves falling like raindrops in the wind... Another autumn wind has risen.

His long black hair was blown into a mess, but he didn't raise his hand to tidy it up. He just stood there silently for a long time.

Kant broke the silence first: "You've come to see me... It seems my time is almost up."

"Leave your last words," Fan Xiao said indifferently.

"Over the years, all my old friends have died at your hands," Kant sighed. "Of the members of the Inquisition who once invaded your era, only I remain. Will this feud end after my death?"

"will not."

"I think so too. But... I don't really blame you, and I think it's the same for everyone else."

"Finished?"

“You are now defined as an evil god by the Empire, but I know you are not. Ever since His Majesty’s consciousness went mad, the undying protection that bound us has vanished, but you didn’t come to kill us right away. You waited until now… I, like everyone else, am about to die, aren’t I?”

"You will die by my hand, just like everyone else."

“You know that’s not what I meant. You and His Majesty are really alike.” Kant shook his head: “His Majesty is never polite to his enemies, but you allow me to communicate. This proves that you don’t actually have that much hostility towards us, the Empire, or this era. You probably killed us just to remind yourself of your own position.”

At this point, he sighed and said, "His Majesty only has the instinct to protect the survival of humanity and resist the changes in the timeline. As long as you do not violate these two points, even if you destroy the empire and slaughter most of humanity to vent your anger, no one can stop you. But you have never done that. You have even shown mercy to us, your hundreds of enemies... Like His Majesty, you are more divine than human."

"I'm not here to chat with you."

"God is dead, authority rests with Your Majesty, and the past cannot be changed. You are the god who creates the future, and you should not be trapped in the past. So many years have passed, so long that I can hardly remember what Your Majesty looks like anymore. I think you must be tired too... Let go of the past and live on in this world."

After a pause, seeing that Fan Xiao's expression had not changed at all, Kant sighed and gave up trying to persuade her, leaving behind his last words: "If...if one day, Her Majesty can come to her senses, please help me tell her one thing...the war is over, you no longer need to dedicate everything to humanity, please start your own life."

……

In the Imperial Heroes Square, a massive black curtain covered the entire sky like a night sky, and heavy funeral music echoed in the wind.

Countless soldiers stood at attention, their armor gleaming coldly in the dim light.

The funeral ceremony was solemn and complex. Priests, dressed in magnificent robes and holding torches, surrounded the central coffin and chanted ancient dirges.

Fan Xiao stood in the crowd, surrounded by high-ranking human figures participating in the funeral, their faces displaying a performative, symbolic grief.

For them, it was just a funeral.

Too much time has passed. Kant is an ancient relic who lived through the ancient war era. He is the longest-living god-player. There are no longer any relatives, friends, or old acquaintances of his in this world.

Fan Xiao looked towards the center of the square. As the last flame went out, the coffin slowly sank into the underground tomb chamber.

An era is over.

Now, Anna has become a monster, the god has perished, and all those who were connected to him and hated him have vanished from this world.

No one knows who he is anymore.

All I know is that he is an evil god.

Fan Xiao suddenly felt very tired.

I feel as if I have truly become a ghost lingering in the world, unwilling to leave because of my obsession.

He wondered—is there really any point in me continuing like this?

His strength is increasing every day.

However, the same is true for Anna, who has become a monster.

Now that God is dead, he cannot shake the present that Anna has already anchored herself to.

Even if he could disrupt the timeline, he wasn't confident he could bring his era back to life.

History has long been overturned; everything that was old has vanished, as if it had never existed.

He was the only one who persisted, clinging to a sliver of hope.

They persevered for countless years.

Without the aid of psychic powers, he couldn't even recall his past memories, or the faces of those people... Was he now Fan Xiao? Or an evil god?

Fan Xiao took one last look at the sinking coffin before disappearing from the spot.

He felt very tired.

Perhaps he needs to get some sleep.

……

Fan Xiao slept for a very long time.

Over time, history changed countless times, and the empire's leadership changed again and again. One day, war broke out, spreading throughout the entire universe. Countless people died, the empire split, and various warlords began to fight each other...
