Chapter 3269 - Last Slash!

"Then, what if we fail?"

Zhang Daniu became nervous. He looked at the silver-white giant on the horizon that had also expanded to an indomitable height and had even swallowed half of the sky. Hong Chao flew into a rage out of humiliation and completely tore off his calm and collected facade. It was as if he was a hybrid of a giant vortex that devoured everything and a mutated octopus.

"If we fail…"

Li Yao smiled and handed over the heavy burden. "All the more reason for you to remember everything that happened in front of your eyes. Turn all the sounds and pictures that you've observed into the most intense obsessions, including the most noble, the most despicable, the most heroic, and the most melodramatic.

"Listen to my every word. Believe it or not, if we fail, time will be reversed and everything will be restarted. No, it won't be as simple as a few decades. Billions of years will be reset to the starting point of the timeline, the original 'origin planet', and everything in front of you, the entire world that you cherish, all the feelings and dreams of the people living in the world, hope and desperation, flesh and blood, and free will will will all be obliterated.

"However, I still don't believe that the so-called 'reversal of time' can erase everything. At the very least, I believe that the noblest will of mankind, the strongest obsession, is enough to resist the scourge of the flood tide. Therefore, as long as your obsession is strong enough, even if time goes back billions of years, everything will return to the state of the 'origin earth'. Maybe, under the influence of your obsession, a new you will write 'Forty Thousand Years of Cultivation'!

"If that is the case, you must seize the opportunity to finish 'Forty Thousand Years of Cultivation'. You must write down everything that happened today and tell it to the people after the 'time line reset'. Let them know the schemes of the Flood Tide, let them know all the glory and dreams, and let them know that they are not as simple as ordinary hairless monkeys on an ordinary planet. They—we can be the center of the universe, the 'Observers'. We are the one and only, the strongest fighting species in the sea of stars. We are the masters of the stars. We are the adventurers of the multiverse and the multiverse. We are the challengers and the winners!

"As long as they are bold enough to dream, to fight, to risk everything for the slim hope, to ignite the impulse in the deepest part of their soul, to release the most brilliant fire of life in a moment, anything is possible!

"This is your destiny. The odds of victory and failure are fifty-fifty. If we fail, we might have to rely on you to make a comeback. Remember, Master Niu!"

"I—I seem to have remembered it."

With a determined look on his face, Zhang Daniu nodded his head slowly. Pondering for a moment, he suddenly said, "I've thought about it for a while. Maybe that's what it means. Because of the existence of countless parallel universes, every parallel universe has subtle changes. Theoretically speaking, there are countless versions of me who are not very different from each other, and countless versions of me are interfering with each other based on our obsessions. As long as my obsessions are strong enough in this place, I can influence the other me in the other universe and make him do things that I can't, can't finish, and can't do even if he wants to?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Li Yao said excitedly, "Master Niu, your understanding is correct. So, try to accumulate your 'obsession'. As long as we win, you will certainly finish 'Forty Thousand Years of Cultivation' in a parallel universe!"

"Who cares about that?"

Zhang Daniu waved his hands and legs in excitement. "Who cares whether is the ending or the ending? It doesn't matter. In any case, what you're trying to say is that as long as I think hard and use all my strength, I think that in a certain parallel universe, I will be able to create a very popular, very popular, and very profitable web novel. I don't need to care about anything else. In any case, if it's popular, will I really be able to write it? Then, I will be able to make a fortune every day. Beautiful women, hehehehe?"

"Uh…"

Li Yao was dazed for a long time before he replied, "Theoretically speaking, everything is possible in the endless universe and hope. It's not like such a thing has never happened, is it?"

"Roger that!"

Endless aura burst out of Zhang Daniu's body. His voice was even thicker than before. "Then let's fight. Let's show the damn tide the strength of mankind. Take it. It is my strongest belief!"

Zhang Daniu raised his hands and sent his endless determination to Li Yao.

Not just him, all the other awakeners, as well as the visitors from the outside world, heard the conversation between Li Yao and him and resonated with Li Yao.

In the intense soul reverberation, the wrinkles of time outside of the reincarnation prison finally collapsed.

"This—this is—"

All the heroes on Earth saw an unbelievable scene at the same time.

The sky seemed to have 'disappeared' all of a sudden. They were directly exposed to the dazzling sea of stars.

In the meantime, the memories of countless generations, including the glory and dreams that shook the universe and roared in the sea of stars before he was dragged into the reincarnation prison, were awakened.

"As it turns out…"

The martyred spirits looked at each other in bewilderment. They clenched their fists and smiled. "We've been sleeping for too long. It's time to stand up and decide our own fate!"

…

With the endless sea of stars as the battlefield.

Countless 'parallel Earths' that had been sealed surrounded the tides and the resistors like brilliant pearls.

The sun, the moon, and the stars were all eclipsed by the raging flames.

Billions of kilometers of electric arcs and flames divided the dark vacuum into interconnected chess boards, or rather, rings where all bets were placed.

Centered around Li Yao's 'Super Soldier Dream Chaser', billions of heroes gathered and confronted the tide that seemed to occupy half the universe not far away coldly.

In the dream-like battlefield of the universe, Li Yao raised his saber named 'Hope' and took the first step toward the flood.

"I suddenly realized something.

Li Yao stared at the tide and said, one word after another, "You've been hoping and even guiding this battle, haven't you? Your 'Time Reversal Array' lacks the last bit of energy. Only the ultimate confrontation between us can trigger enough energy to complete your evil and idiotic plan.

"That's right."

The tide turned into a silver monster with three heads and six arms. It bared its sharp teeth at the resistors. "You finally understand that everything is under my control. You have no chance at all.

Li Yao smiled and raised his saber even higher.

"Do you know that I've met a lot of opponents who boasted that they had everything under their control? But in the end, they all failed. I'm afraid that it was not a coincidence but inevitable.

"In this world," Li Yao said coldly, "change is the only constant. The only things that can be controlled are the dead. The will and soul of human beings will never be enslaved, controlled, or manipulated. Those who are confident that they can control everything will often destroy themselves because of 'loss of control'!

"I am different from them. I am no longer a human being. I am the universe itself.

The tide replied, "I control almost infinite 'quantum energy'. With a wave of my hand, I can release countless 'parallel cosmic fission chain reactions'. According to my precise calculation, I have a 99.9999% winning rate in the sea of the multiverse. Your winning rate is only one billionth!"

"No, not one billionth, but 50%. Do you remember Schrödinger's cat? Dead or alive, it is always 50%."

Li Yao smiled confidently. He took the third step, as if he had crossed several galaxies with one step and turned countless planets into dust below his feet. "I even think that our odds of winning are much higher than 50%. I should say that we are definitely going to win, and you only have a one in a billion chance. Do you know why?

"Because from the moment you choose to go back in time, you have lost the courage to face the future. When you encounter an enemy that is slightly more difficult to deal with, you will be used to thinking whether or not you can cut off the connection and run away so that you can start all over again. How can you become a real expert if you are so shameless that you are always regretting your decision?

"Therefore, your failure has been decided. Of course, you are not a human being, but you are definitely not a 'quasi-god civilization'. After all, you are just a cowardly turtle.

"B*stards like you are not qualified to be our enemies. Just stick your head out and accept your death. Don't hinder us from marching into an unknown universe!

"You lowly cockroach!"

Flood Tide burst into fury and gnashed his teeth.

But faced with Li Yao's mockery, it could not come up with a rebuttal and could only repeat, "You have no idea…"

Before it finished, Li Yao had already taken the last step.

The saber that pierced through the sea of stars was held high, too.

The bright blade reflected the brilliance of billions of stars. It was more like the most brilliant will and the most touching hope of billions of heroic spirits.

Li Yao knew.

He was well aware of the mistakes and detours that human civilization had made.

The formidability of the flood tide, the coldness of the 'Great Purging Agreement', the desperation of the 'quick collapse', the cunningness of 'Lord Singularity', and the craziness of the 'Eternal Devouring Beast', he had learned a thing or two from the information that the flood tide had just sent over. Even if he could not calculate it, he could at least imagine it.

How difficult the road ahead was, how dark the distance was, how much blood was needed to forge the glory, and how many sacrifices were needed to flatten the thorns. He knew all of them.

However, there was no turning back now. The river of time was endless. They could only march forward with their swords and never return.

He bid farewell to the past and ignored the future for now.

Now was the moment.

Behind him were his loyal friends and billions of compatriots who were waving their sabers, swords, and fists to the maximum just like him.

In front of him was the deep universe, the stars that contained endless danger and hope.

The tide between him and the stars was like an insignificant pebble.

The saber in his hand was as hot as the beating heart deep inside his chest.

Therefore, Vulture Li Yao faced the flood directly and slashed out, letting out a final roar:

"Bring it on, universe!"

[Cultivation for 40,000 years. Orthodox. End. Flowering.]

—

He should have written a closing statement.

However, it was too tiring. Everyone knew that Old Cow didn't have a draft. He wrote and sent it on the spot. Today, he wrote eight chapters, a total of 25,000 words. He felt like he was about to pee blood.

He regretted that he had underestimated his water-pouring skills. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have boasted so casually at noon. Dividing it into two days, four chapters a day could be counted as 'explosive', right?

Tomorrow, I'll give everyone a final speech. I'll talk about my feelings over the past three years, the bonus chapters, and the creative plan of my new book.

Well, the biggest feature of this book is that the protagonist doesn't have much of a sense of existence. Sometimes, he can be quite noisy and annoying. So, other books can be ignored, but this book must be written. When you think that there is no Old Demon Li stirring up trouble in the other chapters, and the other 'leads' can finally shine naturally, you will feel a little excited. So, please look forward to it, everyone!
