At the same time, but the crazy

Chapter 662 Infinite Future
Zhang Qi's roar pierced the void like thunder, and the will contained in his voice caused the spacetime that had just resumed its flow to freeze.

The snake's core will contracted violently, and a chill originating from instinct swept through its entire body.

Its greatest reliance, the revitalizing power derived from the ancient transcendent beings, has mysteriously disappeared.

What terrified it even more was that, with the disappearance of the light, it felt that some connection between itself and the deepest laws of this multiverse was completely severed by an invisible pair of scissors with a "snip".

That is its symbiotic connection with the Heavenly Dao, the foundation upon which it, as a remnant of the previous era, can maintain its ultimate power in this world.

At this moment, this foundation is collapsing rapidly, and its realm is plummeting like a flood breaking through a dam.

There was no time to wait! A resolute madness flashed in the snake's millions of compound eyes; it knew that there was no turning back now.

Only by giving it our all can we perhaps find a glimmer of hope.

The next moment, its enormous body suddenly trembled, and thirty-three illustrations shimmering with boundless Daoist charm unfolded.

As soon as these illustrations appeared, they connected with each other, evolving into a nascent universe that encompassed everything and had far greater power than any previous attack.

This is the true essence of the Investiture of the Gods!

It is not a simple magical artifact, but a deformed monster born from the "snake" forcibly fusing half of its own essence with the heavenly laws of this era.

This is precisely why, as long as the Way of Heaven does not perish, it can remain eternally immortal.

But now, with all contact severed, this last trump card has become like a tree without roots or water without a source.

It must defeat Zhang Qi before its strength completely collapses!

However, just as the "snake" unleashed its full power, unleashing the Thirty-Three Diagrams to bombard Zhang Qi,
It regretted it. A despair deeper than death overwhelmed its will.

Because it realized that it had seriously underestimated the power of this "variable" from beginning to end.

On the body of the giant of light that Zhang Qi had transformed into, blurry yet majestic phantoms began to overlap and manifest.

A phantom figure surrounded by burning galaxies—that is the [Way of the Microcosm], which transforms itself into a universe.
Another phantom figure wielded lightning, its divine might as a prison; that was pure divine power.
Another phantom figure burst forth with a spiraling radiance of will, a [spiral force] powerful enough to distort cause and effect;
Immediately following was the [Plasma Spark], shimmering with billions of degrees of light and heat, and... that [Magnetic Field Rotation], which the "Snake" feared most, filled with an aura of destruction and dominance!
Several completely different supreme powers from the outer universe descended upon this world, using Zhang Qi as the perfect "anchor."

Logically, that colossal tower spanning dimensions would instinctively repel and block any force that does not belong to this pluralistic legal system.

But this time, the tower remained silent, as if it had tacitly accepted what was happening.

"Why……"

The snake let out a desperate roar; it could neither understand nor accept it.

How could a single variable gain the approval of that ancient being?

Why do humans deserve such favoritism?
Before its roar had even subsided, the phantom image of Zhang Qi, representing the [magnetic field rotation], had already made its move.

He simply raised his hand indifferently and shook hands with the "snake" from afar.

In an instant, the power that transcends selflessness and immeasurable limits transformed into thick, blue chains that condensed in the void.

These chains disregarded the distance of time and space, directly piercing through the nascent universe represented by the thirty-three diagrams, precisely binding and locking the true form of the "snake".

The other phantoms of Zhang Qi simultaneously stretched out their giant hands, grabbed the other end of the chain, their muscles bulging, and suddenly exerted force backward.

Creak—creak—that's the groaning of the crystal walls of the multiverse, the wailing of the very foundations of reality.

Under the pull of this unimaginable, massive force that combines the top combat power of several universes, the giant serpent that is deeply bound to the entire multiverse is being forcibly peeled away from the foundation of reality inch by inch!

"no, do not want!"

"Spare me! Please, spare me!"

When the pain of separation and the fear of death completely overwhelmed its reason, the "snake" let out a shrill and desperate cry for mercy, a sound filled with humility and pleading.

"I was wrong! I surrender! I'm willing to acknowledge humanity as my master, to be their slave for eternity! I painstakingly cultivated myself to attain enlightenment in the last era, only to be reduced to ashes today… If you spare my life, I will protect heaven and earth, I will perform countless good deeds to atone for all my mistakes! Spare me, spare me!!!"

Upon hearing this utterly undignified wail, a mocking, human-like smile appeared on the face of the giant of light that Zhang Qi had transformed into.

"Ha, how ridiculous."

His deep voice resonated within the "snake's" will, filled with undisguised contempt and disappointment.

He never expected that the mastermind behind the boundless catastrophe, who orchestrated the entire era and killed countless heroes, would be so utterly vulnerable.

Seeking advantage and avoiding harm, seeking survival and fearing death—these are indeed the instincts of life.

But what makes us human, what allows us to stand tall in the world, is that we understand some things are far more important than life itself. These are the beliefs to protect, the will to pass on traditions, and the unyielding dignity.

It is because of these things that life possesses the power to transcend limits.

The "snake" before them, though powerful, was nothing more than a beast driven by desire and fear.

The next moment, Zhang Qi stopped wasting words. The power of all the phantoms merged into one, and the Giant of Light let out a deafening roar. The muscles in his arms bulged to the limit, and he completely and thoroughly pulled the giant snake out of the rift in the multiverse!

"Since you won't let me go, then let's die together!"

Seeing that begging for mercy was useless, the "snake's" will was instantly replaced by madness.

It suddenly detonated nearly half of its own size, and a destructive energy mixed with the origin of the ultimate powerhouse and fragments of the Heavenly Dao transformed into a black shockwave that swept towards Zhang Qi, who was right next to it, and the huge multidimensional rift behind him!

Zhang Qi's eyes narrowed, but he did not flinch.

To protect the fragile multiverse behind him, which had just separated from the "serpent," the Giant of Light spread his arms and took the devastating blow head-on with his massive body.

boom--! ! !
In the violent explosion, a terrifying hole was blasted open in the chest of the Giant of Light, and brilliant light particles scattered like blood, falling into the multiverse below.

He suffered unprecedentedly severe injuries, but he did not use any of his strength to recover.

Because all the power must be concentrated on one point, so that in the next strike, this scourge can be completely eradicated!

The remaining half of the "snake's" body, propelled by the force of its self-destruction, transformed into a streak of light and frantically fled towards the endless void beyond the multiverse.

As long as it can survive, as long as it can escape to that place, it has a chance to make a comeback!
But it had no chance.

Zhang Qi raised his only remaining, intact right arm, his five fingers together, forming a hand chop.

Boundless light, transcending cause and effect, transcending time and space, burst forth from his palm, instantly catching up with the fleeing stream of light, completely piercing and engulfing it.

In the intense light, the "snake's" flesh, scales, and bones were instantly decomposed and annihilated.

However, once its physical body completely disappears, what remains inside is boundless darkness and endless negative emotions.

This pure malice and despair instantly transformed into billions of tiny, invisible black snakes, which continued to flee in all directions.

Under the radiant light, the vast majority of the tiny black snakes turned into wisps of smoke amidst their mournful hissing.

But a few strands of the most core, purest dark essence broke free from the purification of the light and plunged headlong into an indescribable shadow deep in the void.

That is the negative multiverse, a reflection of this multiverse, a despairing place entirely composed of opposing matter and negative laws.

Zhang Qi's gaze lingered on that shadow for only a moment before he ignored the fleeing debris.

Because a larger and more urgent crisis is already looming ahead.

He turned around and looked at the multiverse he was protecting.

Because the "serpent" was forcibly removed, a huge crack that stretched across the heavens and earth was left on the outer shell of the entire multiverse, like a hideous scar that could never heal.

Through the cracks, one can see countless worlds wailing within, their laws in disarray.

This is because some of the laws were lost along with the snake's departure...

If a replacement is not found immediately to fill the hole, the tower's "correction" mechanism will be activated again, in the most thorough way—restarting the entire era—to fix this "bug".

At that time, the final "Great Tribulation of Ascension" will arrive ahead of schedule.

At this moment, Hao and the three Li brothers are far from being able to cope with such a natural disaster.

He must... buy a little more time for the lives of people in this world.

The giant of light stared silently at the crack, his eyes filled with an unprecedented calm and resolve.

The next moment, he made a decision. Zhang Qi once again activated his power, but not for attack or defense.

He deliberately shattered the [Magnetic Field Dao] and those holy positions engraved on the multiverse, along with his own power, transforming them into the purest primordial particles, and resolutely merged into that huge multiverse rift.

He used his own strength to mend that broken reality and fill the void created by the "snake".

This move not only stabilized the near-collapse of the multiverse, but also used its own aura to obscure the view of that towering giant tower.

The mastermind behind the scenes has vanished. From now on, there will be no one left who can manipulate and control the will and dignity of all life in this universe.

If that's the case... the next time we meet will probably be a very, very long time from now...
