Xingtetsu: You are not included in Elio's script!

Aha turned and ran deeper into the street.

Joyful energy overflowed from her body, forming a dozen figures exactly like her in the air, running in different directions.

The regular patterns in the distance did indeed fluctuate, with part of the patterns extending towards the direction of the phantom, obviously attracting the viewer.

"Let's go!" Lin Yu pulled Huang Quan and ran towards the basement entrance of the building.

At the entrance, two controlled security guards rushed towards them with empty eyes.

Lin Yu mobilized the patrol destiny and waved it lightly to disperse the rule energy on the security guard.

The security guard staggered, fell to the ground, and regained consciousness.

"Run away, don't stay here!" Lin Yu shouted at them and pulled Huang Quan into the basement.

The basement was pitch black, with only the dim light from the emergency lights on the wall.

Lin Yu looked at an iron door in the depths.

The two of them ran over quickly, and found that the lock core had been sealed by the energy of rules.

"Let me open it." Huang Quan raised his sword and slashed at the lock core.

The knife light fell on the regular lines, and the lines began to slowly dissipate.

At this moment, a muffled groan from Aha was heard in the distance.

Lin Yu's heart instantly rose to his throat. He looked at Huang Quan with a hurried tone.

"Speed ​​up! Ahaha something might be wrong!"

Huang Quan nodded and increased the energy output.

With a "click", the lock core was cut off and the iron door slowly opened.

The scene inside made their eyes light up. A translucent crystal ball was suspended in the center of the basement, and the energy wrapped inside was the core of the world bubble.

The core is surrounded by regular patterns, which are eroding its energy bit by bit.

“It should be it!” Lin Yu walked over quickly, raised his hand and pressed the core, mobilizing the power of the two stars.

The star core energy flowed through his palm and slowly injected into the core.

The energy in the core instantly became active and began to fight against the surrounding regular patterns.

"The rules are resisting!" Huang Quan saw the rule patterns suddenly expand and entangle the two people. He immediately swung his sword and used the void energy to block the rule patterns.

"You focus on stabilizing the core, I'll hold them off!"

Lin Yu nodded, closed his eyes, and injected more star core energy into the core.

There is a strong resonance between the core and the star core, as if two lives of the same origin are echoing each other.

The light blue energy in the core became brighter and brighter, and began to disperse the surrounding regular patterns bit by bit.

Out on the street, Aha's situation was becoming increasingly dangerous.

Her shadows were broken up one by one by the watchers, and the joyful energy in her body became weaker and weaker.

The giant stone hand of the watcher glowed with silvery-white light and smashed towards her fiercely.

Aha barely dodged it, but his arm was scratched by the rule energy, and light golden blood oozed out.

"Are you not done yet..." Ah Ha gritted his teeth, condensed several phantoms again, and ran in different directions.

I can't hold on for much longer.

In the basement, the core finally stabilized completely.

The regular patterns around it began to dissipate, and the energy spread along the pipes in the basement to the entire city.

The regular patterns on the street outside gradually disappeared, and the chaotic crowd slowly calmed down.

"Success!" Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief and took back the star core energy.

He turned and looked at Huang Quan, "Let's go help Aha!"

The two rushed out of the basement and ran towards Aha.

From a distance, one could see Aha trapped in the giant stone hand of the watcher, and the energy in his body had become very weak.

Let her go Lin Yu roared, mobilizing the path of destruction and slamming it hard at the giant hand of the stone statue.

The energy hit the giant hand, making a loud noise.

The giant hand trembled slightly and let go of Aha.

Aha took the opportunity to break free and ran towards Lin Yu and Huang Quan.

The three of them got together and immediately ran away.

The watcher roared behind him, but did not chase him.

The core of the world bubble has stabilized, but the transformation of its rules has failed.

The three of them ran for a long time until they could no longer see the building, and then they stopped in a secluded alley.

Aha leaned against the wall, gasping for breath, his face pale, and the wound on his arm was still bleeding.

"Are you okay?" Lin Yu immediately mobilized the energy of abundant destiny and gently pressed it on Ah Ha's wound. The emerald green energy flowed through his palm and into Ah Ha's body, and the wound slowly healed.

"It's okay, just a minor injury." Ah Ha smiled, his eyes full of fatigue. "Is the core stable?"

Well, the erosion of rules has stopped. Lin Yu nodded. He looked at the streets outside the alley gradually returning to normal and felt relieved.

"That's great." Aha leaned against the wall, closed his eyes and rested for a while.

When she opened her eyes again, some of her spirit had returned to them. "Now, we should leave here. The Watcher will definitely not give up. It will soon find the next node."

"Where are you going?" Huang Quan asked, looking at the two of them. "No matter where you go, I'll go with you. I'm a little lost on where to go, so I can only follow you."

"Go to the tree of imaginary numbers."

"That is the source of all world bubbles and the key to fighting the Watcher. We need to find the other Star Gods, unite all forces, completely break their rules, and end this cycle of reincarnation."

As soon as Lin Yu finished speaking, the evening breeze at the entrance of the alley blew a fallen leaf into the alley and landed at Aha's feet.

She looked down at the withered yellow leaf, her fingertips unconsciously twirling the corner of her clothes, and her eyes, which originally had a hint of spirit, were now covered with a layer of solemnity.

"Uniting the Star Gods is the only way out, but you must understand that not all Star Gods are willing to wade into this muddy water. Currently, only Lan, Boshizun, and Fuli are willing to risk everything with me."

"Only three?" Lin Yu was stunned. "What about the other star gods? For example, the pharmacist, or Klipper? Can't they see the threat of the watcher?"

"The Medicine Master hides in his world of abundance, absorbed in the study of immortality. He doesn't even bother to care about his followers killing each other, let alone the life and death of the universe." Ah Ha leaned against the wall and coughed twice.

"Cripper is even worse. His only concern is protecting the Tree of Imaginary Numbers. Whether the civilization within the tree lives or dies is of no concern to him. We are fortunate to have won over Lan, Boshizun, and Fuli."

"And you have to understand first, we are not only fighting against a higher-dimensional watcher, but also a star god who existed before Nanook."

Lin Yu was stunned, "Are you talking about the last king?"

"He is the Star God who controls the final destiny."

"He roamed the cosmic realm two cosmic epochs earlier than Nanook. Even in the knowledge base of the Master of Knowledge, the exact time of his birth cannot be found. People often confuse his destruction with that of Nanook."

"Nanook used his power to smash civilization, but the Last King is the messenger announcing the end. His very existence is the ticking of the cosmic countdown."

Huang Quan paused, gripping the katana. "What's the difference between the final fate... and my nothingness? I've seen a fragment of energy with black lines before. Is that something of His?"

"It is His final echo." Ah Ha nodded, and a very light pink condensed at his fingertips, reflecting a blurry shadow in the light.

It was a group of people in black robes, kneeling around a dying planet.

“Nothingness is the dissolution of existence, and the end is the necessity of ending existence.”

"The Last King travels against time, leaving behind vague prophecies wherever he passes through the universe. His followers chase these prophecies, treating the end of the world as a pilgrimage, waiting for a 'once-in-a-lifetime encounter' with him."

"There's another, even more extreme faction. They'll actively accelerate the end of civilization, just to bring the Last King's prophecy to fruition sooner."

"So Nanook is just a destroyer, and the Last King is the terminator? He doesn't want to destroy a civilization, but to bring the entire universe to its destined end?"

"Yes, but no." Aha shook his head, and another scene was reflected in the pink light.

On a desolate planet, several survivors were bowing to the shadow of the Last King, while not far away, the funeral director was quietly recording the trajectory of the planet's disappearance.

"The Last King never actively accelerates the end. He simply declares that the truly terrifying things are his followers and his meaningless prophecies."

"Master Boshi has deduced that the whispers he left behind in the Abyss have already caused three worlds to enter the final countdown early. One of them is only one step away from the dimension of Blue Star."

"Can the three star gods, Na Lan, Bo Shi Zun, and Fu Li, fight against him?" Lin Yu asked, "Can their destinies compete with the end?"

"The Knowledgeable One can interpret the Last King's prophecy and find His trajectory."

"His prophecies may seem chaotic, but they actually contain cosmic coordinates. Lan's patrols can hunt down the vanguards of doom, severing their limbs that hasten their doom. Fu Li's memories and destiny can temporarily stabilize worlds entering the countdown, winding up clocks that are about to stop."

"And you, Lin Yu, among your sixteen destinies, exploration can create new trajectories, abundance can sustain the vitality of civilization, and balance can hedge against the inevitability of the end. These are the keys to fighting against Him."

"And you and her void energy can also help." Ah Ha looked at Lin Yu and Huang Quan.

"The end is the inevitable conclusion, and nothingness is the dissolution of existence. The two are similar in nature yet opposite, and may interfere with His destiny energy."

"If you fail...can you still reverse time like before?" Lin Yu asked.

"Do you think reversing time is as easy as crushing a piece of candy? Every time I restart the cycle, I have to drain away a third of my essence. That's the key to anchoring your memories and the foundation for maintaining the stability of the cycle."

She raised her hand and lifted her sleeve, revealing a faint golden line on her wrist, as faint as a candle in the wind.

"Last time, I forcibly reversed time to save you, and only half of my origin remained. Now, if this line completely darkens, not only will reincarnation never begin again, but I won't even be able to maintain my Star God form. I'll become a wisp of energy scattered throughout the universe."

"By then, no one will be able to help you retain your past memories, and you will once again become that 'newcomer' who just traveled through time and doesn't even know how to use fate."

Lin Yu's heart felt like it was hit by a heavy hammer.

Before, he only knew that Aha could reverse time, but he never thought that there would be such a heavy price to pay behind it. His throat suddenly tightened and he couldn't even speak smoothly.

"I...I didn't know you were going to consume your essence. I thought..."

"You think I can fix this with just a snap of my fingers?" Ah Ha suddenly smiled, but that smile was filled with fatigue, devoid of joy. "The power of a Star God is never given for nothing. I hold the reins of joy, yet I must watch you die again and again in the cycle of reincarnation, under the rules of the Watcher, and in the Last King's final end. And I must smile and tell you that you'll definitely succeed next time."

"This joy has long been worn away by its source, leaving only an empty shell."
