I am the Arcane Archer, and all my skills are self-created.

Li Wu ignored the shock of the crowd.

He looked up at the giant "eye" in the sky, a faint, even cold, smile curving his lips.

"You fired off at the wrong spot."

He said softly.

The sound wasn't loud, but it seemed to penetrate the barriers of space and reach directly behind the "eyes".

The giant "eye" seemed to pause for a moment, taken aback by the sudden turn of events.

The energy in its pupils began to gather again.

The second beam of light is about to be fired.

"it's useless."

Li Wu shook her head.

He raised his hand again.

This time, he didn't snap his fingers.

He simply pointed his finger lightly at the "eye".

A trivial action.

But at the moment he made that move.

In a dark, unknown star system, countless light-years away from Earth.

A supergiant star, hundreds of millions of times the size of the sun, which was burning fiercely, suddenly began to expand violently and unstablely without warning.

Then, in less than a second, it erupted.

A supernova explosion, the most terrifying since the birth of the universe, swept across thousands of galaxies.

Endless gamma-ray bursts, powerful enough to destroy everything, and a raging torrent of energy, like a cosmic tsunami, instantly engulfed everything.

At the heart of the tsunami lies a vast base hidden in a dimensional rift, comprised of countless sophisticated instruments and law generators.

Along with the One's clone in the base, who was controlling the "eye," they didn't even have time to react before being completely torn into the most basic particles in the universe by this sudden natural disaster.

……

The outer orbit of Earth.

The giant "eye" suddenly froze just before it was about to unleash the second beam of light.

Then, like a light bulb that has been turned off, all the light went out in an instant.

The massive energy structure, out of control, began to silently disintegrate and dissipate.

In less than three seconds, that "weapon of war" that was enough to drive all transcendent beings to despair turned into a thin layer of cosmic dust and disappeared.

The crisis has been averted.

In a way that no one can understand.

The training platform remained eerily silent.

Everyone stared blankly at the sky, then at Li Wu.

They wanted to ask, but didn't know what to ask.

"President...you...you just now..." Zhui Feng stammered, barely managing to squeeze out a sentence.

Li Wu turned around, looked at them, and her expression remained calm.

"I told you."

"I want to give him more screen time."

"I guided the fate of that star, bringing it into the final stage of its life cycle billions of years ahead of schedule."

"This is my answer."

Li Wu's words exploded in everyone's minds like a series of heavy bombs.

Guiding the fate of a star?

To make it explode billions of years earlier?

Is this...is this something a human can do?

This goes beyond being described as simply "powerful".

This is a method only the "Creator God" possesses.

"You...you've already gained control over your destiny?"

Gu Yuan's voice trembled with disbelief.

He thought he had overestimated Li Wu, but he found that he had underestimated him.

"No, I can't control my destiny." Li Wu shook his head. "I just... found the trigger for my destiny."

"I didn't create that supernova explosion; I just found the possibility that it would explode right now among its countless possibilities, and then gently gave it a push."

"It simply brought forward an outcome that might have occurred billions of years from now."

Li-Wu spoke of it casually.

But to the ears of the crowd, it was like a thunderclap.

"This...isn't this control?" Zhui Feng muttered to himself.

"It's different," Li Wu corrected earnestly. "Control means I can make it explode whenever I want. That's the definition, the path of the unifier."

"And I am merely a guide. I can only choose one from the possibilities that exist within itself, and then guide it."

"If it doesn't inherently have the potential to erupt right now, then there's nothing I can do about it."

Although Li Wu explained it this way, the way everyone looked at him had completely changed.

That was the look in the eyes of someone looking at a "god".

Awe, reverence, and a hint of... fear.

They discovered that they could no longer comprehend Li Wu's level of understanding.

Li Wu didn't care about their gazes.

He walked to the edge of the platform, looked at the blue planet below, and fell into deep thought.

That attack just now may have seemed easy and effortless, but in reality, it took a huge toll on him.

Guiding the fate of a colossal star, even with just a gentle push of the trigger, almost drained all his mental energy.

He feels even more exhausted now than if he were to fight the projection of the One in the sea of ​​data.

More importantly, he knew that this did not solve the problem at its root.

He merely destroyed one of the Ones' important "avatars" and bases.

But the essence of the One who returns to the One still remains.

Moreover, after this experience, the One must have realized that conventional weapons of war are no longer effective against him.

What methods will it use next time?

Li Wu didn't know.

He didn't even dare to "look".

Because he knew that when he tried to see the "fate" of the One, the other party would definitely be able to sense it as well.

He didn't want to reveal his biggest trump card too early without absolute certainty.

"Did we...win?"

Hua Zitong walked to his side and asked softly.

Her face was even paler than before.

She had almost exhausted all her strength in order to withstand that attack.

"We've won for now," Li Wu replied. "We've bought ourselves some precious time."

"So what's next?"

"Next..." Li Wu turned his head, looked at her, and then at the companions behind her who also had confused and expectant eyes.

He remained silent for a few seconds.

Then, he made a decision that surprised everyone.

"What we need to do next is neither training nor preparing for a fight."

"Instead... I'll go home."

"go home?"

Everyone was stunned.

"Back to the Realm of Origin?" asked Chasing Wind.

"No," Li Wu shook her head, "Let's go back to our real home."

"Back to Earth."

This answer only confused everyone more.

"Why?" Gu Yuan asked, frowning. "Now is the most crucial time. We should seize every minute and second to improve our strength and prepare for the next attack from the Unifiers."

"Why go back to Earth? It won't help our cultivation at all."

"Who said it wasn't helpful?" Li Wu retorted.

He stretched out his hand and pointed to the blue planet beneath his feet.

"You've forgotten, there are billions of variables involved."

"No matter how much we train, it's impossible for us twenty-odd people to develop enough power to fight against the entire Unity Civilization in a short period of time."

"Our hope does not lie in ourselves."

"And in them."

Li Wu's words caused Gu Yuan and Cang Ming, who had lived through countless years and were accustomed to elite thinking, to fall into deep thought.

Meanwhile, the eyes of those who had risen from ordinary players to transcendence, such as Chasing Wind and Shadow, slowly began to light up.

"Does the guild leader mean... that we should teach the power of the laws to all players in the Origin Realm?" Chasing Wind asked excitedly.

"No, that's too slow," Li Wu shook his head again.

"Moreover, the Realm of Origin is itself a cage designed by the manipulators. We can no longer place our hopes on this cage."

"What I need to do is... open the cage."

A crazy and fervent light gleamed in Li Wu's eyes.

"I want to completely integrate the Origin Realm, this virtual game world, with our real world."

"I want to bring the power of the laws into reality."

"I want everyone to have the opportunity to come into contact with the laws, to understand the laws, and to become... a transcendent being."

"Universal detachment?"

Gu Yuan gasped, terrified by Li Wu's insane idea.

"This is impossible! How dangerous is the power of the laws? Ordinary people's bodies and minds simply cannot withstand it!"

"What you're doing isn't helping them, it's harming them! Many people will die!"

"I know," Li Wu said calmly. "Any change inevitably involves sacrifice."

"But this is our only way out."

"Instead of passively waiting for the unifiers and manipulators to decide our fate, let's take the initiative and overturn the table ourselves!"

"I want to turn these billions of people into pawns on a chessboard, into uncontrollable variables."

"I'm going to completely mess up the trader's script."

"I want to show them what happens when a bunch of mice have the power to overturn a laboratory."

Li Wu's voice wasn't loud, but every word was like a heavy hammer, striking everyone's heart hard.

Crazy, daring, even reckless.

But within this lies a do-or-die, resolute determination to live even in the face of death.

Gu Yuan looked at Li Wu, opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't utter a single word.

He wanted to argue, but he knew that Li Wu was right.

They can't win with just these twenty-odd people.

Only by dragging everyone down with us and gambling the fate of the entire civilization can we possibly fight for a glimmer of hope in that hopeless future.

"I...agree."

After a long silence, Gu Yuan uttered these three words with difficulty.

"I agree too," Hua Zitong said without hesitation, her eyes filled with trust and support as she looked at Li Wu.

"Let's do it!" Chasing Wind, Shadow, and the others shouted excitedly.

They had long been fed up with this life of hiding on the training platform, waiting for the enemy to arrive like frightened birds.

Although Li Wu's plan was crazy, it reignited their passion.

Li Wu nodded.

He knew that this decision meant he would personally usher in a completely new, chaotic era, full of unknowns and dangers.

He will bear the weight of countless lives and deaths.

But he doesn't regret it.

"Cangming, Gu Yuan".

"Yes."

"I need you to help me construct a massive spatial law matrix. To anchor the data dimensions of the Origin Realm to the physical dimensions of Earth."

"This process may cause permanent and irreversible changes to the spatial structure of Earth."

"No problem." Cangming and Gu Yuan exchanged a glance and nodded simultaneously.

"Hua Zitong, Chasing the Wind, Shadow."

"exist!"

"You are responsible for guiding the energy tide when the first batch of laws descend, minimizing the impact on ordinary people as much as possible, and protecting the major cities."

"yes!"

Li Wu took a deep breath and took one last look at the starry sky where he had fought countless battles.

Then, he opened the portal back to Earth.

"Set off."

"Let us change the way we live in this world."
