After millions of years in the library, I became an Immortal Emperor.

When the Evergreen Emperor's gaze fell upon this void, the Great Annihilation Immortal Emperor behind Qin Ge subconsciously took a step forward, intending to block Qin Ge's path.

Emperor Changqing's gaze sharpened.

"puff!"

The Great Destroyer Immortal Emperor was struck by lightning and retreated violently, his blood splattering across the sky.

A trickle of blood also spilled from the corner of Qin Ge's mouth.

But her hands did not stop plucking the strings; the melodious music, like an ancient funeral song, echoed between heaven and earth, and her expression grew increasingly solemn.

A strange phenomenon slowly appeared behind her.

Snowflakes fluttered down, leaving the land desolate. A library stood quietly atop the mountain, and a young man dressed in a white robe smiled as he looked down upon the world.

"That's interesting."

Emperor Changqing said, without intervening to disrupt this artistic conception. He seemed to want to see what kind of miracle this zither music could create.

"Chirp—"

The boundary between Yin and Yang was drawn, and two wings covered the sky. A huge shadow appeared above the celestial dome, and then the power of Yin and Yang transformed into a Heaven-Slaying Blade, slashing down towards the Evergreen Emperor.

"Holy Spirit!"

Countless people looked up at the celestial dome, their faces filled with awe.

Only one Holy Spirit above the Emperor level can appear in an era, but a Holy Spirit at the Immortal Emperor level has already fallen in the Zhou Tian Immortal Sea.

"Beneath the Heavenly Emperor, the Yin-Yang Divine Phoenix!"

A voice came from the celestial dome, and it was related to the Heavenly Emperor once again.

Even the Evergreen Emperor frowned slightly this time. This so-called Heavenly Emperor had not yet truly appeared in the myriad worlds, but he had already heard those two words countless times.

It was as if everyone was connected to him.

"So noisy!"

Emperor Changqing's expression turned cold. With a wave of his hand, he shattered the sky-covering Yin-Yang Divine Phoenix into a rain of blood.

In the end, only the woman playing the zither amidst the celestial realm remained.

It was during this time that he truly took a serious look at the person within that strange phenomenon.

God!

"Clang~"

In the music, the figure seemed to see this world through the realms of reality and illusion, and also seemed to see the Evergreen Emperor.

He flipped his hand and slashed out with his sword.

"Buzz!"

It was just a wisp of imperceptible sword light, yet it caused the heavy snow in that world to stop, and then the entire world split in two, causing countless people to tremble in that instant.

In an instant, only that one sword remained in the entire world.

The music stopped.

Qin Ge also looked up.

This was the strongest strike she had comprehended over the years, reflecting Lin Fan from the past timeline. With a single sword strike, she could even borrow a wisp of power from Lin Fan in the present era.

She did succeed.

When that sword strike was unleashed, a wisp of power beyond her control was indeed incorporated into it. It was very subtle, yet it contained a terrifying power capable of suppressing the entire universe.

"The power of chaos..."

At this moment, Emperor Changqing finally changed his expression. He saw the power contained in this sword and seemed to see a figure standing behind Qin Ge in the dark.

"boom!"

A terrifying immortal power erupted from his body, shattering billions of miles of void. He unleashed a terrifying chaotic storm with a single palm strike, then grasped the sword.

Then, accompanied by a terrifying ripple that swept across all directions, the heavens trembled, and countless lives were annihilated.

After the aftershocks subsided, countless people looked towards the center of the sky, and the glimmer of hope that had just emerged was instantly extinguished, leaving everyone with expressions of despair.

The Evergreen Emperor stood in the void, his body surrounded by a chaotic aura, seemingly no longer a being of this mortal realm. The sword had indeed fallen into his hands.

It only left a tiny bloodstain, which healed in an instant.

"Isn't that enough?"

Countless people murmured, their expressions somber.

This sword strike was even more terrifying than the one unleashed by the Heavenly Sword Emperor, yet it was still effortlessly blocked by the Evergreen Emperor.

Emperor Changqing looked at the Netherworld Earth, then at the woman standing in the void, and frowned slightly.

"Heavenly Emperor, I truly underestimated you. If I had given you more time, you might have caught up with me. It's just a pity you were born too late."

"All the heavens are one chaos, and this 'one' can only be me."

As he spoke, Lu Yao trembled violently in his palm, the power belonging to the Heavenly Dao being frantically drained, and a look of pain appeared on his face.

Qin Ge looked at the Evergreen Emperor, then at the zither in his hand.

Cracks appeared on the zither, and then the entire Phoenix Zither vanished into thin air. She looked up, and even so, she still possessed unparalleled elegance.

"Is that still not enough?"

She said that her body gradually turned into smoke and dissipated.

That sword strike consumed everything she had, including her life.

"It's time to end this."

The voice of the Evergreen Emperor resounded throughout the entire universe, and all living beings in the world felt it, looking up at the endless celestial sky.

The light in the sky was gradually fading, and all the heavens and the endless world were slowly darkening, with everything turning yellow and spiritual energy being depleted.

The world is decaying at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"No--"

Those Celestial Emperors struggled frantically, trying to illuminate the Celestial Dome with their own light, but it was only for a moment before even the Celestial Emperors' celestial light went out.

The Netherworld!

The ceaseless flow of the underworld also ceased, the red spider lilies withered one by one, and the spirits of the dead stopped in their tracks, gazing at this world with bewildered expressions.

Houtu, Bodhi, and Qin Ge are also among them.

"teacher!"

They saw a completely different figure among the countless dead: a pure white-clad figure gazing at the dark sky, seemingly frozen in time.

They pushed aside the surrounding spirits to move forward.

The figure looked at them again and then smiled faintly.

"It really should end now."

He said this, and then his figure gradually disappeared. Qin Ge, Hou Tu, and Bodhi stopped, their faces filled with disbelief.

That's a gentleman, how could he possibly be dead?

"Splash—"

The sky above the Netherworld was cleaved open, marking the first time the Netherworld connected with the myriad realms, and the first time the beings of the myriad realms saw the Netherworld.

When the Evergreen Emperor looked towards the underworld, he saw the figure disappearing on the banks of the Yellow Springs River.

"The Heavenly Emperor?"

He said this, then shook his head; he probably valued this so-called Heavenly Emperor too much.

I originally wanted him to be my follower, but I never expected him to die like this.

"gentlemen--"

Qin Ge knelt on the ground, tears that she had held back for hundreds of thousands of years falling like rain. She desperately went to the place where Lin Fan disappeared, but all she grasped was emptiness.

Bodhi and Houtu also stayed in place.

Will the gentleman also die?

At the end of the Yellow Springs, on the Bridge of Helplessness, in that stone pavilion, Lin Fan looked at the book in his hand, his eyes already closed. In that instant, he seemed to have lost contact with the entire world.

The Evergreen Emperor was stepping into chaos, and all the heavens were being destroyed, but all of this had already turned into a fleeting moment in the long river of time before his eyes.

"Imbue all cultivation power into it."

He silently recited the mantra in his heart, and then poured in the cultivation he had accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years.

He no longer suppressed his realm. In a moment of chaos, his body disintegrated and condensed in that chaotic place where no one had ever set foot before.

Another moment of eternity, chaos stilled.
