"It's every 'choice' you make."

"It's you who, despite countless instructions to 'save,' still instinctively chose to protect the weak."

"Even after you knew you were a 'vessel', you still chose to wield your sword and question the Three Pure Ones."

"It was you who, even when your body was about to break apart, still chose to use the Judgment Pen to pierce my projection."

"These 'choices' are the truly unrepeatable code that constitutes 'you.' They... don't come from any system."

The smile on Su Mohui's face vanished completely. The cracks across her body seemed to creep ever deeper with her rapid breathing. The datura pollen in her sleeve vanished completely, condensing into a small, misty gray fog in the air, but it didn't drift toward the recorder.

She stared at the shadow in front of her, as if something was stuck in her throat, and tears of blood dried on her cheeks, leaving glaring marks.

"You said it... so beautifully." Su Mohui's voice was hoarse, and every word sounded like it had been honed on sandpaper. "You want to clear yourself of all charges... and finally tell me, was the suffering I endured and the blood I shed all due to my own choice of 'purity'?"

The recorder looked at her silently, without arguing. The pink cup in her hand emitted a faint, constant, soft light.

at this time--

“BOOM Boom Boom Boom!!!”

The entire Netherworld, no, the entire Netherworld Palace, and even the deeper Netherworld Origin Space, all began to tremble violently without any warning!

It wasn't an earthquake, but a terrifying shockwave emanating from a higher dimension and a far greater power! Like a star exploding right next to the Netherworld, the shockwave pierced countless spatial barriers and slammed into the very foundations of the Netherworld!

Su Mohui and the shadow of the recorder staggered at the same time!

Deep within the Netherworld Hall, the walls of the "data streams" materialized by the waters of the Forgotten River, flowing with star sand, were instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks! The Rebirth Mirror, hanging from the hall's dome and symbolizing the order of reincarnation, let out a mournful cry, as if glass was about to shatter under the weight!

[Warning! Warning! Ultra-high-energy cosmic energy shock detected! Source locked: Urobuchi Furnace Core! The shockwave contains the annihilation properties of the very essence of existence! The Netherworld Core Law firewall has suffered severe damage! Damage rate 37%... and continues to rise!]

The system's alarm sound was no longer the loli's electronic sound from before, but a sharp scream that was almost "broken", which suddenly exploded directly in the consciousness of Su Mohui and the recorder!

Su Mohui's face paled instantly! The Abyss Furnace? The source of existence annihilated? She whipped her head around, her bloodshot eyes fixed on the recorder. "What's going on? Did the Abyss furnace explode?"

The large pink water cup in the recorder's arms suddenly lit up with a dazzling red light, and countless fine runes spun frantically on the cup's walls! For the first time, her usually calm face revealed an extremely solemn expression, even... a hint of unbelievable horror.

"It's... Xuanyuan Shaoze!" Her voice was unprecedentedly urgent. "His Emperor Soul... brought his body... and forcibly jumped into the most violent core area of ​​the Xuyuan Furnace! He's... he's using the authority of the Central Heavenly Emperor's 'existence' to confront the Xuyuan's 'nothingness'. Is he crazy? How is this any different from self-destruction?!"

"What?!" Su Mohui was struck by lightning—Xuanyuan Shaoze? Jumping into the furnace? With his physical body still in his body?! He was going to die?! She instantly remembered the email mentioning "the fire has been set"… Could this be… the "fire" he had set? Using herself as the fuel?!

"No!" The recorder shook his head violently, the red light of the pink water cup scanning the turbulent energy that penetrated the space. "He's... He's using the burning power of the Emperor's soul to forcibly 'cover' Xu Yuan's 'nothingness'! He's... He's trying to use his own 'existence' to define that 'nothingness'! This... This is crazier than self-destruction! Is he trying to... tamper with Xu Yuan's underlying rules?!"

Tampering with Urobuchi's rules?!

Su Mohui felt a chill run from the soles of her feet straight up to her head. This wasn't just a life-threatening situation; this was a life-threatening situation! It was like poking a hole in the sky! She subconsciously glanced at the recorder: "Can you stop it?!"

"Stop it?" The recorder laughed bitterly, the light in the pink cup dimming slightly. His voice was filled with a deep sense of powerlessness. "I can only help you be reborn in these worlds, but the direction of your destiny is never in my hands, but in the hands of each and every one of you."

"Besides, Xuanyuan Shaoze is now like a nuclear bomb dropped into an oil barrel. The shock wave has already penetrated the dimension and is just an aftershock. The real center of the storm... is in Xuyuan! In the core of the furnace! Anyone who gets close will die! Even Lingbao Tianzun may not be able to escape unscathed!"

She looked at Su Mohui's pale face, took a deep breath, and forced herself to suppress her shock. She spoke quickly: "Listen! Now is not the time to be dazed! Whether Xuanyuan Shaoze succeeds or not, Xu Yuan will undergo a drastic change if he jumps!"

"Either he forcibly 'defines' a pure land of 'existence' and activates the 'Urobuchi Final Battle'! Or... it will completely explode, dragging all surrounding worldlines with it! The Netherworld will bear the brunt of the impact! Your anchor point is already unstable, and if you are hit by shock waves of this level a few more times, even gods will be unable to save you!"

She pointed suddenly at the still-open email: "Hui! Another you! She's at the edge of the gray layer! She's the closest to Xu Yuan, and the only one who might be temporarily safe as the 'fire' backup! You must contact her immediately! Tell her to hold on at all costs! If... if Xuanyuan Shaoze fails... she'll be the final spark!"

Su Mohui's heart was pounding as she instantly realized the seriousness of the situation. She rushed to her computer, her fingers trembling as she was about to reply to the email.

[Warning! Warning! Dimensional interference is intensifying! The damage rate of the Nether Core Law firewall has exceeded 50%! The quantum communication channel with the edge of the gray layer... sizzling... signal lost! Connection interrupted!]

The system's sharp alarm sounded mercilessly!

"Fuck!" Su Mohui slammed her fist on the table, sending the gaming chair sliding far away. I can't get in touch with him! He failed at the most critical moment!

The recorder looked at the flashing "Connection Lost" message on the screen, her expression grim. She gritted her teeth, and the pink cup lit up again, but the light was extremely unstable. "No! The shockwave interference is too strong! All conventional communication methods are useless!"

"That's because my magic weapon (notebook) is not here, otherwise..." She made a rare joke to liven up the atmosphere, but when she finished speaking, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Su Mohui, "There is another way! It's very risky! But... it's worth a try!"

"Speak!" Su Mohui said without hesitation.

"Use your Life-Judgment Pen!" the recorder spoke rapidly. "With your authority as the Lord of the Netherworld, forcibly pry open the laws of reincarnation! Project your consciousness... along the long river of reincarnation, briefly 'projecting' it to the edge of the gray layer! The time is very short! Perhaps only a few seconds! And..."
