Starting with an orphanage, I mass-produced peerless empresses.

As the effects of the formation continued to activate, the girl's screams gradually faded away, as if she had been silenced.

The Empress, watching from outside the formation, peered through the barrier at the scene inside, her face showing excitement.

Within the blood-red array, Tongtong's figure was no longer visible; only a mass of black power remained—power extracted from her flesh and blood.

Regardless of whether she could absorb it successfully, Tongtong herself was killed.

"You said it couldn't be killed, but isn't it dead now?"

At this moment, the Empress looked at the black power within, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile.

With such a powerful formation, how could it possibly fail to kill the opponent?

That young man from out of town was indeed just deceiving himself.

"Hmph, once I absorb this power, I'll definitely give you a good beating..."

A sharp glint flashed in the Empress's eyes, and she began to secretly plot her next move.

Little did they know, Lin Yun, who was outside, also had a glint of shrewdness in his eyes as he looked at the aura emanating from the tower.

"That aura has indeed arrived!"

At this moment, he is already in a state of combat readiness, ready to make a move at any time.

Clearly, the queen inside the tower was unaware of the terrifying things that were about to happen.

She is currently still inside the tower, waiting for the formation to completely refine the black power within.

However, to her surprise, the large mass of black energy was not refined into crimson power as she had expected.

Instead, it is constantly transforming and gradually beginning to exude a tyrannical aura.

This scene caused the Empress to frown.

"What's going on? They're clearly dead, so why can't we refine them?"

But gradually, she realized that something was wrong.

Putting everything else aside, the clear sky outside the window has gradually turned gloomy.

Inside the Refining God Array, the crimson power that started out was still devouring and refining the black power of the end.

But a moment later, the situation reversed. That mass of final power actually began to devour the crimson power within the formation.

Moreover, it is becoming stronger and more violent at a visible rate!

The barrier that was originally able to seal this power of the end was also twisting and deforming at a visible speed, just like a typhoon passing through, constantly being torn apart!

"This, how is this possible..."

The Empress finally stared wide-eyed at the array in front of her, incredulous.

With a deafening roar, the upper part of the entire tower was instantly shattered by the violent explosion, and even the top cover was blown off!

Fortunately, the Queen reacted quickly and deployed her defenses in time, which allowed her to withstand the sudden burst of power.

Before the empress could even feel relieved, something terrifying happened.

The black power that had broken free from the array's control was seen to be transforming back into the form of a young girl at a visible speed, revealing her fair skin.

"This is……"

The empress's pupils suddenly contracted. The girl formed from the black mist was none other than Tongtong, whom she had just brutally killed.

She has actually come back to life, and her physical body has been reconstructed?!

Furthermore, the aura emanating from her was several times more terrifying than before, clearly indicating a dramatic change in her strength!

However, the expression on the other person's face was still contorted in pain.

From Tongtong's perspective, after being torn apart by the formation, she felt herself enter a very special state.

After she devoured and absorbed the crimson power forged from the blood of cultivators from all nations.

In her mind, the extreme resentment of those cultivators before their deaths was constantly devouring her consciousness.

"You wretched monster, I'm going to kill you!"

"Why, why did you kill me?!"

Why did this happen to me? Why did I die?!

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"

"..."

Amidst these resentments, she constantly felt their suffering before death, and also saw the invasions, injustices, and wars they had encountered over the years!

All the memories of everyone are filled with killing, killing, and more killing; it seems that humans are born to kill...

These jumbled memories, coupled with endless resentment, constantly merged with the girl's consciousness.

Of course, this process was extremely painful, no less so than being torn to pieces just now.

All the resentment and fragmented memories were assaulting her.

The deception she received after her birth was impacting her.

Before the double blow, her pure heart had already been changed.

All of this converged in her mind into a single sentence, or rather, a belief.

She opened her dark eyes, and with her face contorted in pain, she let out a low growl.

"Humanity is the greatest evil in this world; it must be eradicated completely, it must..."

"No, that's not the case..."

At the same time, she was still struggling internally.

"This world isn't that bad, it's just that..."

At this moment, her heart was like a battle between two beliefs: one was an extreme belief eroded by betrayal and resentment.

One is her initial self, filled with curiosity and a beautiful belief in the world.

Previously, the former was nothing more than a dark shadow in the depths of her heart.

But now, it has taken the initiative, while the latter has waned and is now only a tiny fraction remaining.

"Get out of my body!"

The girl let out a roar, and a wisp of white light was forcibly squeezed out from her body, drifting away and dissipating at an extremely fast speed.

This was her initial belief, or rather, her soul, which would completely dissipate within moments of leaving her body.

In the end, the newly born her emerged victorious in this battle.

Just as that last bit of kindness disappeared, her aura suddenly expanded and increased dramatically once again!

Correspondingly, the oppressive aura emanating from her became increasingly terrifying.

The overwhelming power of the end transformed into a black sea of ​​clouds that obscured the heavens, enveloping the entire Yuan Tian Star.

In an instant, the whole world was plunged into darkness, as if the end of the world had arrived!

(A little hint: Imagine yourself in the ending of Ultraman Tiga...)

Whether they were from the Holy City or cultivators from elsewhere, everyone stared in awe at the changes in the sky.

In the new city of the Wolf Kingdom, far from the Holy City, the people who had recently witnessed a miracle were building a statue of the god.

At this moment, everyone was stunned as they watched the darkness rapidly spreading across the sky.

"What on earth happened?"

The black-clad cultivator who had recounted history to Lin Yun stared blankly at this scene, his mind drifting back to the words spoken by that deity.

Is this dark age about to end? Is this the last darkness before dawn?

The problem is, isn't this just too outrageous...?

However, the most shocking thing was the people of the holy city.

As those closest to the birth of the Lord of the End, they felt most clearly the overwhelming sense of oppression emanating from the Tower of Heaven!

"Could this power be Her Highness the Goddess?"

"It seems so. What happened to Your Highness, Goddess?"

"I don't know, but I have a feeling that things aren't looking good..."

……

The people of the holy city trembled in fear under the cover of darkness.

On the tower, the Queen looked at the girl before her, who seemed to be crowned a queen, and involuntarily took a half step back.

At this moment, Tongtong, who was surrounded by black mist in front of her, slowly opened her eyes, and her extremely cold gaze suddenly fell on the empress in front of her.

At that moment, she felt as if her soul was being devoured; it was the instinctive fear of facing an absolute powerhouse, like a sense of oppression etched into her blood.

"You...Tongtong, I was wrong, I know I was wrong..."

The empress swallowed hard and kept backing away, completely losing her regal demeanor.

However, the girl who had become the Lord of the End was completely deaf to her words.

“Sister, I said I would eliminate all evil in the world. Now, let’s start with you.”

She gazed at the Empress as she reached out her hand, and at that very moment, the power of the end within her was completely transformed.

If before she was merely a child of the End, now she has grown into an adult, becoming the End itself...

However, at the very moment she completed her transformation, a sharp shout came from not far away.

"Master Formation, go!"

As soon as she finished speaking, colorful light surged in from all directions, instantly enveloping her!

Instantly, her time was frozen within the formation.

Even the white light around her, which was about to dissipate, was enveloped in it.

Seeing himself sealed away, the Lord of the End turned around and glared at the young man behind him.

"Why, why are you stopping me!"

"I'm sorry, little girl..."

Lin Yun looked at her and apologized.

It was apologetic that I had watched her being murdered not long ago, and that I had done nothing about it.

However, the Lord of the End was now completely deaf to reason, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he stared at Lin Yun.

"I'm going to kill you all, kill you all!!!"

She roared as she continuously controlled the power of the end, bombarding the Master Sphere array, but it was not something she could easily break.

Looking at the crazed Lord of the End inside, Lin Yun took a deep breath and turned his gaze to the Empress not far away.

The Holy Kingdom's Empress, watching the Lord of the End being sealed away, wore an expression of relief, as if she had just survived a catastrophe.

What this young man said was actually true; he... had indeed failed to kill Tongtong.

She was incredibly grateful that she had trusted the young man; otherwise, she might have been killed by now.

The Empress breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at Lin Yun gratefully.

"Your Excellency, thank you for saving my life. I was negligent before."

She leaped forward and immediately began to fawn over Lin Yun.

Upon seeing the Empress approach, Lin Yun glanced at her indifferently.

"Do you remember our agreement? If I seal her away and save your life, you have to grant me one request."

Upon hearing this, the Empress nodded repeatedly and said with utmost sincerity.

"Of course, please feel free to ask. Anything I can give, even my own body, is no problem!"

"Hehehe, your body is indeed somewhat alluring, but I'm not that interested."

Lin Yun glanced at her, and what he said stunned her.

"Not interested? Then what do you want?"

"I'm afraid what I want is very simple..."

Lin Yun smiled slightly, then raised her hand, and a ball of Origin Power enveloped her entire body.

This sudden turn of events caught the Empress off guard, and her expression immediately changed.

"Your Excellency, what do you mean?"

"Doesn't the Empress enjoy refining others? Well then, shouldn't she also experience what it's like to be refined?"

After saying that, he flicked his finger, and the power of origin within it began to move like a meat grinder, almost like a replica of the God Refining Array.
