Chapter 241. Conclusion
Screech! Screech! Crack!
The laws of the world reassemble. The foundation of existence transforms. The cycle of the world begins to operate once more.
One month and thirteen days. It took longer than anticipated, but I had finally succeeded.
I cannot yet call it perfect, but gazing upon the world’s system that had begun operating again, I exhaled my joy.
With this, my contract with the previous Creator comes to an end. What remains will resolve itself as time passes.
As I accumulate more knowledge and gain experience, drawing closer to the deficient sources of circulation, that system will surely be perfected.
With such resolve, I severed my fusion with the world and, feeling the sensations of my physical body for the first time in ages, drew in a deep breath before turning my gaze toward the sound rising from below.
And what entered my eyes was the Blood Evil Thousand Mountains, half-destroyed and ravaged. Witnessing the battle unfolding in the sky above that place, I exhaled a sigh of relief.
With the urgent fire extinguished, I could now see the tasks I had postponed coming into focus.
The battlefield had already been pushed back to the vicinity of where the two Successors of Taoism Sect stood. And there lay the Blood Evil Dragon, collapsed and dead. Finally, Sun Wukong, struggling to use his clones to block the enemy’s advance.
Witnessing that sight, I drew two blades from the empty air. The moment the two dragon swords, grown to their limits through the Bottomless Pit, entered my hands.
Slash!
The cutting sound, heard clearly by all across the Blood Evil Thousand Mountains, brought an unbelievable result.
-Finally! You’ve come! Damn! I thought I was going to die struggling here!
For some, it brought joy.
-Eek! That man! He’s incredibly strong!
For others, confusion and relief.
-…!
For yet others, overwhelming terror and death.
In an instant, half the mountain range was severed, and most of the immortals rushing forward were split into upper and lower halves, their lives extinguished.
【What! What is this?】
Five or six Divine Seats who had barely survived by remaining outside the range of the blade strike while battling Sun Wukong’s clone at the frontlines.
Among them was Nata, the being who led the immortals and one of the surviving ancient superior gods of the Immortal Realm.
【Impossible!】
Nata, who had blown away Sun Wukong’s clone with a hastily unleashed full-power attack, swallowed hard as she watched me descend slowly from the sky.
【Insects who don’t know their place.】
As I released the power I had been suppressing and concealing toward that creature, the immortals and Nata trembled as they crashed into the ground.
【W-who are you?】
To the question asked with forced effort, I, now fully settled upon the earth, opened my mouth.
【The master of this universe.】
Nata could not help but gasp in horror. The weight of those words was something no god of the fallen Divine Realms could possibly bear.
It would have been simple to accept death merely for displeasing me. Yet Nata could not help but ask.
【Why? Why has the Second Master come to such a place?】
【Because I am one of the Successors of the Wudang Sect.】
At those words, Nata could not help but sigh, closing her eyes tightly as she envisioned the downfall of the Immortal Realm that had brought this upon itself.
【If you understand, then cease your struggling. Insect.】
As I swung my blade once more, accompanied by the sound of the world itself being cleaved, the remaining six gods turned to ash and vanished.
They could neither be reincarnated nor resurrected. Now that their bodies and souls had been annihilated, now that they had been slain by the master of this world, such mercy was beyond even their dreams.
-Cough! Ah~~I’m dying. Seriously.
【You fool. What kind of constraint could possibly be so limiting? To struggle like that against such vermin.】
-Well. Back then, I was far weaker than I am now.
【Even so, you couldn’t have been constrained to the point of being unable to kill your enemies. That’s absurd.】
-Kekekek! Right? But I can’t tell you. That’s also a constraint. Or rather, even if I could speak of it, I won’t. Too embarrassing. Besides, our great world’s master is omniscient anyway. Figure it out yourself.
I turned my gaze away. At the same time, the constraint bestowed upon Sun Wukong came to mind.
〚Constraint: Tightening Fillet. Concept Divine Seat: A constraint bestowed by the Buddha seated upon the flower bud of Nirvana and the 33 Concept Divine Seats who follow him, pledging their eternal sleep as collateral. The constraint’s nature is No-Kill. An absolute prohibition against taking any life.〛
Upon hearing this, I withdrew all my dignity and power, then nodded in acknowledgment.
With that level of resolve, there’s no choice but to accept it. After all, 34 Concept Divine Seats have woven this constraint with their very lives as collateral.
‘Even I cannot undo this before becoming The Creator.’
Now I understood why Sun Wukong had scattered his clones across the world while his true self remained eternally hidden.
The inability to kill is a far greater constraint than one might imagine. Even when power transcends the heavens themselves.
Moreover, that creature is an outer demon. Known as the Undefeated Battle Sage, a maniac obsessed with combat.
To impose a No-Kill constraint upon such a being—it’s no wonder madness festers within.
“Are you trying to destroy the Immortal Realm to break your constraint? Using me?”
-Aw, come on. Using? I’m simply asking for a little help. Since I cannot kill them myself. You could say I’m asking you to handle the finishing touches?
“Even with the No-Kill constraint, there’s no way you’d be pushed back this far by some mid-tier Divine Seat.”
My doubt was justified. And it was Akasha, not Sun Wukong, who resolved it.
〚That is another constraint. Constraint: Five Elements Mountain. Bestowed by the Jade Emperor, master of the Immortal Realm who stood on the brink of transcendence, at the moment of his defeat in war—a constraint purchased with the eternal sleep of most of the gods who participated. When facing entities of the Immortal Realm, all abilities are reduced by 99%.〛
“Ha! 99%? That’s essentially making it impossible to touch them at all?”
It was essentially a final desperate gambit—a measure to protect the surviving entities of the Immortal Realm.
I found it remarkable that he endured against these gods for a month and a half bearing that penalty. Truly worthy of the title Undefeated Battle Sage.
What’s equally astounding is how the Concept Divine Seats sacrificed themselves with such attachment to their homeland. Most, like Gaia, lose interest in the 1st Dimension once they transcend to the 2nd Dimension.
〚Furthermore, these two constraints serve to bind Sun Wukong in place, while also laying the groundwork for the Immortal Realm to rise to greatness once more.〛
“What do you mean by that?”
〚The loss of eternal sleep does not necessarily mean annihilation. Before their souls could be torn asunder by Sun Wukong’s hands and scattered, they sealed themselves away.〛
“Then the reason the remaining Immortal Realm entities targeted the Taiji was…?”
〚Yes. To restore all those in eternal sleep—in a state of death—back to the state of life. And to seek out Sun Wukong and exact vengeance is the will of Irang Jinggun, the current ruler of the Immortal Realm, and the arrangement of Tathagata.〛
It’s absurd. They’ve drawn their grand design far too well.
“There must be a reason they sent gods to the Upper Realm, even accepting the price of near-total collapse.”
Sun Wukong grinned as he looked at me, now aware of all the truth.
“So? Will you free me?”
-Then I’d be grateful~. If you just release me, I can handle the rest myself. Those bastards probably know quite a bit about the concept of circulation you’re after, so I can gather that information too.
For me, this arrangement is naturally more convenient.
The remaining tasks before me are merely to rebuild the Wudang Sect and raise these children, and to oversee the newly established System, adding various improvements to perfect it.
Squabbling with the Immortal Realm would be tedious and a waste of time.
“You? After stoking your determination to kill them all like that?”
I can break the constraint. The problem is that to undo the Tightening Fillet—a constraint imposed by Irregulars pouring all their power into it—I’d need to at least open the power of Apocalypse and expend considerable effort myself.
So.
“I’ll only free the Five Elements Mountain. Go capture Irang Jinggun or whoever and bring them back.”
At my words, Sun Wukong’s clone clicked his tongue in disappointment, but as if that alone was acceptable, he nodded while unleashing murderous intent and fighting spirit like a madman.
Goooooooo!
Not long after, I began to sense an immense power approaching from the distant horizon.
“As expected. The original body is truly the original.”
A Cloud of Somersault arrived at a speed so swift that even I could barely perceive it, and upon it stood a being radiating overwhelming presence with absolute confidence.
【You’re seeing me like this for the first time, aren’t you? Delighted to meet you. I am none other than the Great Sage Equal to Heaven Sun Wukong!】
At that same moment, all the surviving clones were drawn into him, and his already tremendous power grew even more formidable.
‘He doesn’t fall short even when compared to me.’
If anything, he stood just a step below me—yet even that revealed the absurd magnitude of power he possessed.
Upon his head existed a golden restraint that had taken physical form as a constraint, and upon his body, a colossal mountain of five peaks pressed down upon him.
I drew forth another blade and, channeling a portion of my apocalyptic power, brought the sword down in a single stroke.
The five peaks—each symbolizing fire, water, wood, metal, and earth of the Five Elements—crumbled away, and one of the constraints imposed upon Sun Wukong vanished.
【Ha…hahaha! Excellent! Absolutely excellent! Thank you!】
“If you’re grateful, then accomplish what I’ve commanded. Rampage appropriately.”
【I’ll definitely complete the task! And I can’t rampage appropriately! Do you know how long I’ve waited for this moment?】
Tremendous murderous intent and resentment erupted forth as he turned the Cloud of Somersault toward the Divine Realms, eyes gleaming with fervor.
Though I felt some concern at the sight, no matter how mad for battle he was, he couldn’t ignore my commands.
“In truth, whether the Immortal Realm possesses the enlightenment of circulation matters little.”
It would be nice to have it, but its absence wouldn’t create problems either.
Given enough time, I could obtain their enlightenment as well, however I wished.
Only then did I turn my body to gaze upon my two children, who had grown noticeably stronger.
“Now let’s rest for a while.”
About a day later, the worst Forbidden Zone in the Heavenly Martial World was purified, and a new Wudang Sect took root there.
***
Three years later.
At the summit of what was once called the Blood Evil Thousand Mountains, now known as Mudan Mountain.
Opening my eyes quietly at that place, I wore a satisfied smile. Three years ago, Sun Wukong, who had reinvaded the Immortal Realm, had literally turned it upside down. Together with Irang Jinggun, he had passed on to me the enlightenment of circulation that they had obtained.
What was remarkable was that the enlightenment they had gained proved far more significant than I had anticipated, and thanks to it, I was able to perfect the System to an even greater degree.
And building upon those insights, gradually advancing until finally today—I had at last completed the System of this new world perfectly.
A fortress-like System that would never crumble again.
Only then did I release the tension from my entire body and collapsed onto the pavilion built at the summit.
How long had I been lying there?
“Hey! Wake up!”
A figure appeared, daring to speak to me—the world’s savior and ruler—in casual speech and shouting no less.
Three years ago, when I rebuilt the Wudang Sect and brought them to this Heavenly Martial World. They were my family.
And the impudent one now was my Younger Sister, who had once been so adorable and endearing, always looking up to her older brother.
“Why won’t you get up already?!”
Feeling the demonic energy surging toward me, I let out a soft chuckle and finally rose from my seat.
“Mom says it’s time to eat!”
Following the voice of my family calling me from afar, I made my way forward.
