Magic: Reincarnate from high-voltage electricity at the start, level up independently.

A faint white light spread out, and the layers of light and shadow slowly faded away.

A slender and graceful figure slowly came into view.

The woman wore an ice-blue long dress, and her long, black hair cascaded down to her waist.

Her features were exquisitely perfect, yet there was no warmth in her eyes or brows. From head to toe, she exuded a coldness that kept strangers at bay, like ice that would never melt.

"Master."

Su Lingbai called out softly.

Just now, she had almost drained all the magic power in her body by activating the puppet to summon her master.

Her face was deathly pale, her body was weak and limp, and she had great difficulty even standing.

Seeing this, Xiao Caihua quickly stepped forward and reached out to steadily support the swaying Su Lingbai.

The cold moon in the sky could see his disciple's weakened state at a glance.

She swayed and landed lightly in front of Su Lingbai.

With a gentle touch of her fingertip, a wisp of warm, pure white power slowly flowed into Su Lingbai's limbs and bones.

This power is gentle and pure, flowing through the meridians, soothing all fatigue and pain.

Su Lingbai's pale complexion visibly warmed up, and her strength gradually returned. She was able to stand steadily without anyone's help.

Leng Yue nodded slightly, turned to look at Xiao Caihua beside her, and spoke in a light tone.

"Take good care of her."

As soon as she finished speaking, she moved and soared back into the high sky.

She merely glanced at the constantly cracking and collapsing world, and instantly grasped the entire situation.

She also fully understood why Su Lingbai had gone to such lengths to summon her down, even at the cost of exhausting his magic power.

The next instant, Leng Yue's gaze locked onto the young figure on the Heavenly Throne.

Mi Tian slowly opened his eyes, calm and composed, and also cast his gaze from afar.

Two quasi-emperors, standing at the pinnacle of the heavens, faced each other silently across the collapsing void.

As his name suggests, Leng Yue had a cold face and an expressionless demeanor.

Mi Tian, ​​on the other hand, was completely different. He had gentle features and always carried a calm smile like a young man.

Leng Yue spoke first, her tone cold and authoritative.

"I have no right to interfere with your desire to destroy this world. But you shouldn't have dragged my disciple into this."

Mi Tian smiled gently, "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."

"They voluntarily entered this world; I didn't force them."

"Fellow Daoist's statement is somewhat biased."

"I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you."

Leng Yue snorted coldly and stopped arguing.

With a wave of her hand, her vast imperial might spread out in layers, sweeping across the entire world.

She planned to forcibly tear apart the world blockade that had been laid out across the sky, allowing Su Lingbai and her group to escape.

Rumbling--

The entire musical world trembled violently, and the patterns of heaven and earth began to crack.

The blockade that Mi Tian painstakingly built is being torn apart little by little, and cracks are appearing.

Witnessing this scene, Mi Tian made no attempt to stop it.

Instead, he raised his hand to signal all the angels under his command to stop fighting.

He watched Leng Yue break through the barrier with great interest, and slowly offered a reminder.

"Fellow Daoist, you and I are both Quasi-Emperors of the First Tribulation."

"If it were a direct life-or-death battle, the outcome would be difficult to determine."

"But you are only temporarily descending by borrowing the power of the source. Your true body is far away in the endless sea of ​​stars. At most, you can only exert 30% of your combat power and stay for only ten minutes."

"Such a cross-domain descent will cause great damage to your physical body. If someone seizes the opportunity to attack you along the way, your physical body may even face the risk of destruction."

"So you'd better hurry up and break through the blockade to get them out of here."

"If the time limit expires and you disappear here, I will not give your disciple a second chance to call for outside help."

Mi Tian smiled faintly, yet every word he uttered carried a sense of oppression.

"Oh, and one more thing."

"This world is still some time away from complete collapse, enough time for you to break through the boundary."

"But as a quasi-emperor, you should be aware of the rules."

"The moment the world collapsed, the power of nothingness and annihilation had already taken shape."

"My imperial power seal may seem to trap this world, but in reality, it has been isolating it from the raging annihilation storm outside, protecting this remnant realm."

"Outside the boundary, the power of annihilation has already accumulated to a terrifying degree."

"Once you completely break the seal, the annihilating power raging from the outside will instantly surge in and wipe out all living beings within the realm."

"The only way for your disciples and their group to survive is to seize the moment when the blockade breaks and use the power of space to instantly teleport away."

Leng Yue knew that everything Mi Tian said was true, without a trace of falsehood.

As she continued to tear through the blockade, she looked down and gave Su Lingbai a deep, earnest instruction.

"Lingbai, gather your friends immediately."

"The moment the blockade breaks, seize the opportunity and evacuate them."

"clear!"

Su Lingbai nodded emphatically, not daring to delay for even the slightest moment.

Her purpose in venturing in was to save Xiao Caihua. Now that Xiao Caihua is right beside her, there's no need for further greetings.

She looked up and shouted loudly towards Xu Wan, who was still battling the water dragon in the sky.

"Xu Wan! Prepare to evacuate!"

"clear!"

Xu Wan readily agreed, swinging her halberd with all her might, slaying dozens of angels in front of her.

Without hesitation, he leaped and tumbled down from the back of the towering water dragon.

The uncontrolled giant water dragon rushed straight towards the center of the angels' most densely packed camp.

The angels in the sky were instantly thrown into a panic.

"Get out of the way!"

But it was all too late.

A deafening roar resounded, and the surging waters suddenly burst open, swallowing thousands of angels whole and causing them to perish instantly.

Xu Wan landed steadily beside Su Lingbai, then turned and shouted towards Chu Ge in the distant sky.

"Old Chu, are you coming or not?"

"Walk!"

The Chu song responded in kind.

But just as she was about to leap over to meet him, she suddenly stopped.

She stood high in the air, her gaze slowly sweeping over every familiar face present.

Aigu, Lilith, Amber, Dorria, and a host of monster companions who fight alongside them.

There were a total of thirty-four monsters present.

Including Clara and Arya, who are still in the palace, there are exactly forty survivors.

Chu Ge turned to look at Su Lingbai and asked in a serious tone.

"What's the maximum number of people you can teleport across regions with at once?"

"Four."

Su Lingbai made no attempt to hide anything and spoke frankly.

"I'm currently low on magic power; I haven't even recovered one-fifth of it."

"From here, we will traverse the endless void and reach the surface world of Witch Star. Four people are my limit."

"If there is one more person, the spatial passage will become unstable, and I myself will suffer from the backlash of the void."

At this point, Su Lingbai instantly realized Chu Ge's thoughts, her eyes filled with shock.

"Chu Ge, you're not planning to take everyone with you, are you?!"

"Um."

Chu Ge nodded gently, readily admitting it.

"Impossible!"

Su Lingbai rejected it outright, her tone resolute.

"Even if you also possess spatial power, your current level of mastery is absolutely no match for mine."

She raised her hand and three fragments of spatial laws, shimmering with light, floated in her palm.

The profound power of space slowly rippled outwards.

Do you know how far this place is from the surface world of Witch Planet?

"Are you aware that the more people involved in inter-domain teleportation, the more prone the void passage is to becoming disordered and collapsing?"

Chu Ge responded calmly.

"I know."

"Since you understand, you should understand the current situation."

Su Lingbai spoke very quickly, her tone extremely solemn.

"Once the blockade is broken, we only have a moment to build a spatial passage."

"It's already quite an achievement to be able to stabilize the passage."

"If we are even half a second slower, the annihilation power from beyond the boundary will surge in and engulf the entire world."

"That level of annihilation power is enough to severely injure an ordinary quasi-emperor, or even kill them."

"We cultivators below the Quasi-Emperor level have no chance of survival if we touch it."

She put away the fragments of the palm law, her eyes cold.

"If you try to take everyone away by force, it will only cause the passage to collapse."

"Everyone will be torn apart by the void storm and utterly annihilated in the endless void."

Chu Ge fell silent and did not argue further.

The situation is brutal, leaving no room for wishful thinking.

Su Lingbai looked at the silent Chu Ge and asked again.

"Tell me the truth, in your current state, how many people can you reliably take with you?"

"one."

After being depleted by successive battles, Chu Ge's current magical reserves are almost the same as Su Lingbai's.

She knew better than anyone the depth and limits of her own spatial mastery.

If it's a short-distance teleportation, she can easily carry dozens or even hundreds of people at once.

However, they are currently separated by endless void, and suppressed by the annihilation storm outside the boundary.

The idea of ​​taking everyone with them is simply wishful thinking.

Su Lingbai nodded slightly and gave the final solution.

"At my master's speed of breaking through boundaries, the seal will completely break in eight minutes."

"You'd better think it over quickly: do you want to save your own life, or stay here and die with them?"

Before Chu Ge could speak, Su Lingbai sighed softly and conceded a step.

"As I just said, my maximum capacity is four people."

"Xiao Caihua and Xu Wan have already taken up two spots, so I can bring two more."

"You can bring one more person with you."

There are three spots available in total. You can decide for yourself.

At this point, she made a point of reminding everyone.

"Try not to choose monsters."

"They are huge, and building a tunnel for them would greatly increase the energy consumption and take up teleportation slots."

She glanced at the group of burly demonic beasts behind her and continued to add to the list.

"One ordinary demonic beast is roughly equivalent to the teleportation load of three people."

"Like this black eagle, and this tiger, they're too big."

"Just one end alone will take up all four slots."

"Unless they can shrink their original size, they can avoid the loss of quotas."

After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

Black Hawk and Amber exchanged an awkward glance, both feeling deeply aggrieved.

Is it wrong to be big?

Normally, everyone would love for their monster mount to be bigger and more imposing, but when it comes to saving their lives, size becomes a burden.

However, among all the demons present, only these two demons possessed the ability to freely shrink and expand their size.

Black Hawk relies purely on its strength.

Amber is due to bloodline reasons.

After breaking through to S-rank, he even awakened his human form.

Amber secretly felt smug and couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"Being able to reduce the number of slots without taking up a spot, I, Tiger Emperor, am truly the chosen one."

"I'm destined to leave this dead zone alive."

Without the slightest hesitation, Amber's figure blurred, and her enormous beast body instantly shrank, transforming into a palm-sized golden kitten. With a light leap, she landed on Chu Ge's shoulder and settled down.

At that moment, all eyes in the room were focused on it.

Feeling inexplicably guilty under the intense gaze of everyone.

It simply closed its eyes and lay there obediently, pretending to be asleep.

As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed.

Black Hawk's lips twitched slightly, filled with helplessness.

It looked back at the group of demonic beast brothers who had followed it through bloody battles, its heart filled with conflict.

If he were to shrink and escape alone, abandoning his brothers, he would have no face to stand up for the rest of his life.

Not far away, Dorria and Amber stood quietly side by side.

The two people were furthest from Chu Ge and remained silent throughout.

Of everyone present, they had the least interaction with Chu Ge and were the least qualified to compete for a spot to escape.

After a long while, Dorria looked up at Amber beside her.

"An'an, if Miss Alice invites you to leave, will you go?"

"Won't."

Amber gently shook her head.

"We're just nodding acquaintances, not even friends, so she wouldn't specifically save a spot for me."

"I mean, in case," Doria persisted.

"Even if I had the chance, I wouldn't leave." Amber looked at the girl beside her with gentle eyes.

Why?

"Because of you." She reached out and touched Doria's face, a faint smile unconsciously appearing on her lips.

"If I leave, what will you do alone here?"

How can I be happy without you?

Amber turned to look at the dilapidated Violin City in the distance, a touch of sorrow rising in her eyes.

"It's not just you."

"My family has lived here for generations, but after the angels invaded, all my elders died in battle."

"Now that my father is gone, less than one-tenth of the An family remains, leaving only the elderly, women and children."

"If I were to escape alone, abandoning my people, I would not be able to live with myself."

She shook her head with a bitter smile, feeling utterly powerless.

"I know my abilities are limited, and I can't protect everyone. The only thing I can do is stay and die with them."

Doria remained silent for a long time after hearing these words.

She knows Amber too well.

This mermaid, born into a top-tier noble family, possessing musical talent and a proud nature, was proud and stubborn her whole life and never admitted weakness.

Now he openly admits that his abilities are limited...

"And what about you?" Amber threw the question back at her. "If it were you, what would you choose?"

Doria looked up at her homeland, which was devastated and constantly collapsing, her eyes filled with reluctance and longing.

"I'm the same as you."

"This is my homeland, and I am the princess of this world."

"My father has fallen, and our land is shattered."

"It is my duty to defend my homeland and stand with my people through thick and thin."

On the other side, Lilith looked at Chu Ge, who had a conflicted expression, and took the initiative to speak.

"Chu Ge, you don't need to worry about Lilith, just choose the others first."

"I am someone who has already passed away."

"I am already very content to be reborn as an evil spirit, to meet you and Li Yi, and to have a happy time together."

"Even if I die again, Lilith isn't afraid."

The two girls reunite after three years, but their reunion ends in a tragic separation.

Chu Ge gazed at Lilith silently, his heart filled with mixed emotions, and for a moment he was at a loss for words.

Looking out over the horizon, the cracks in the void at the edge of the sky grew ever larger.

The raging, devastating storm outside the boundary is gradually eroding and swallowing up this remaining land.

Chu Ge suppressed the turmoil in his heart, turned to look at Black Hawk, and gave a deep order.

"Go to the palace and bring Arya and Clara here first."

"Yes, Master!"

The black eagle responded by spreading its wings and transforming into a black shadow as it sped away into the distance.

The distance wasn't far to begin with, and at its speed, it brought the two back to the battlefield in no time.

After Black Hawk left, Aigu quickly stepped forward.

"What's wrong?" Chu Ge asked, looking at him.

"It's about Arya."

Aigu spoke frankly, setting aside all dignity and pride in front of everyone.

"Although I was prepared to face the apocalypse with Arya."

"But if there is any hope of surviving, I hope you can take Arya out of here."

"I know that spots are limited, and no matter who you choose, you will be letting others down."

"I know my request is selfish."

He bowed deeply, his voice trembling uncontrollably.

"But as a father, I only ask you to help me this once, so that Arya can live safely and grow up peacefully."

Please!

Chu Ge looked at the man who was pleading humbly, her heart stirred slightly, and she responded softly.

"I promise you, I will take Arya away."

In just one minute, Black Hawk had already returned with Arya and Clara.

As soon as Arya landed, she immediately threw herself into Aigu's arms, her voice trembling with tears.

"dad!"

The father and daughter embraced tightly.

Aigu bent down and whispered the agreement between the two to his daughter.

"I'm not leaving!"

Arya's eyes reddened, and tears streamed down her face.

"I want to stay with my dad. I'm not afraid to die!"

"Listen to me," Aigu soothed gently.

"I don't!"

Clara, who was standing nearby, heard everything clearly and quickly stepped forward to gently persuade him.

"Arya, you should listen to your father."

But the girl was adamant and refused to leave alone.

Seeing her daughter's stubborn look, Aigu's eyes were filled with tears, and she sighed helplessly.

"Fine, if you're not going, then you're not going."

Arya immediately smiled and nodded vigorously.

But the next second, a warm, large hand gently landed on her shoulder.

A gentle drowsiness instantly swept over my body.

Arya's head lolled to the side, her body went limp, and she fainted.

Aigu held her daughter tightly, looked up at Chu Ge, and her eyes were full of apology.

"This is the only way. Please take care of her."

"fine."

Chu Ge gently shook his head, reached out and took the unconscious Aria, holding her steadily in his arms.

Time flies.

Only three minutes remain before Leng Yue completely breaks the world blockade.

Chu Ge finalized the last two escape spots.

The second one was given to Clara.

The third one was reserved for Lilith.

After much deliberation, Black Hawk ultimately decided to stay.

It was unwilling to abandon its fellow demon beast brothers who had risked their lives together, and was determined to live and die together.

Lilith insisted on giving up her spot.

Amber, Dorria, and Aigu all declined.

Everyone was determined to stay in their homeland.

After several rounds of deliberation, the spot ultimately went to Lilith.

Everyone held their breath, quietly waiting for the moment the blockade would be broken.

Chu Ge's gaze suddenly sharpened, and a slight fluctuation appeared in his expression.

"Doria".

She looked at the blue-haired girl not far away.

"What's wrong?" Doria looked up in confusion.

"Your tail..."

"My tail?"

Doria looked bewildered and subconsciously looked down at her fishtail.

Upon seeing this, she froze on the spot, her eyes filled with shock.

My blue fishtail, which has accompanied me throughout my life, is beginning to transform and reshape itself, starting from its roots.

The scales faded, the fish tail differentiated, and slowly transformed into a pair of fair and slender human legs.

Everyone in the room was deeply moved, their eyes fixed on her, filled with disbelief.

In just a few seconds, the transformation was completely completed.

A pair of smooth, slender legs stood firmly on the grass, so white that you could see the veins beneath the skin.

Doria carefully extended her fingertips to touch her calf; the touch was warm, quite different from the cold fishtail.

Her eyes instantly filled with tears.

The world is about to perish; life and death hang in the balance.

But in the final moments of her life, she completed the transformation she had always dreamed of.

The miracle didn't stop with her alone.

"My legs...have changed too!"

Amber looked down at her transformed legs, her face filled with astonishment.

"Me too!"

Clara gasped in surprise.

"And me!"

Aigu stared blankly at his legs, his mind churning with emotions.

Not just them.

While being held in Chu Ge's arms and falling into a deep sleep, Aria's fishtail was quietly transforming into human legs.

In the entire world of music, without exception, all surviving mermaids...

The fish tails that had been passed down for thousands of years have all faded away and transformed into human legs.

The surviving mermaid was both surprised and delighted, experiencing a mix of sorrow and joy.

"I have legs! I really have legs!"

"Even if I'm about to die, just experiencing what it's like to walk on my own two feet makes this life worthwhile!"

For the moment, everyone forgot their despair of the apocalypse and awkwardly took steps to adapt to their new bodies.

Some people slowly regained their footing and walked cautiously.

After a moment of adjustment, some people simply started running freely on the grass.

Occasionally, someone would stumble and fall heavily, spitting out dirt and grass from their mouth, but still laughing loudly.

"This feels so good! This is what freedom feels like!"

After the initial euphoria, some were filled with doubt.

"What on earth happened? How could our fish tails suddenly change like this?"

"Perhaps on the eve of the world's destruction, a miracle will descend from the heavens, fulfilling a wish of all of us."

On the throne of the heavens, Mi Tian, ​​who had always been calm and composed, finally showed a hint of surprise on his face.

"The racial curse... has it been lifted?"

The only possibility for breaking the mermaid curse is that a quasi-emperor has been born into the race.

He closed his eyes and pondered, quickly sorting through ancient secrets.

Thousands of years ago, the mermaid race offended a witch and was cursed with an eternal mermaid curse.

The only way to break the curse is for the race to produce a quasi-emperor.

Driven to the depths of the ocean by humans and on the verge of extinction, the god of music, Tianlai, came to their rescue, opening up this small world so that mermaids could escape the sea and stand on land.

The world of music was originally created by the heavens themselves, a closed little world specifically for the mermaid race.

Due to the limitations imposed by the rules of heaven and earth, living beings within this realm are unable to trigger the Heavenly Tribulation in their lifetime.

Under normal circumstances, no one can break through the shackles of the Quasi-Emperor.

The only chance to break through the barrier is when the rift in the divine realm opens and the seal of imperial power temporarily fails.

In previous Music God Grand Ceremony competitions, divine messengers traveled back and forth to the divine realm, opening rifts. Occasionally, powerful mermaids would attempt to escape, but no one had ever broken through the shackles.

Because the mermaids were grateful and had worshipped the god of music for generations, they were also bound by shackles.

Possessing a fish tail, he is forever barred from the path to becoming a Quasi-Emperor, completely severing his clan's path to breaking the curse.

Mi Tian's expression returned to calm.

"Although I don't know exactly what went wrong."

"But the outcome is already decided."

Even if the curse is broken and a quasi-emperor is born, it cannot change the inevitable destruction of this world.

Even though the newly promoted quasi-emperor possesses unparalleled talent, he wields the supreme imperial weapon, the Immortal Feather.

Even if the opponent's combat power is comparable to that of a veteran quasi-emperor, if they dare to attack, they will still be doomed.

Mi Tian slowly stood up and raised his hand to grasp the Immortal Feather floating beside him.

The imperial weapon vibrated slightly, emitting a series of humming sounds.

The vast and boundless imperial power slowly spread out, gently enveloping all the angels present.

He waited quietly, waiting for the final moment when the blockade would break, so that he could lead all the angels to evacuate this world.

"Lingbai, one minute left! Get ready!"

Leng Yue's clear, cold voice fell from the sky, clearly resounding throughout the entire venue.

"Understood, Master!"

Su Lingbai responded loudly and immediately gathered the people around her.

"Everyone, hold on tight! Stand firm!"

Xiao Caihua and Xu Wan held Su Lingbai's arms tightly on either side.

Clara held Xu Wan's hand, and Lilith held Xiao Caihua's hand; the five of them clung tightly together.

Chu Ge held the sleeping Aria in his arms, his gaze steady and alert.

"The last thirty seconds!"

The countdown began, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.

Doria and Amber sat hand in hand under the tree, calmly awaiting the end.

"In my next life, I want to be a blue star."

"Then I will accompany you, and together we will become stars."

"Okay." Doria leaned gently on Amber's shoulder, her face showing regret. "...It's just a pity that I didn't wear the hair clip that Anan gave me when I died."

Within the demon beast camp, the demon beasts exchanged glances, showing no fear whatsoever.

"Brother Black Hawk, let's be brothers again in the next life!"

Black Hawk nodded emphatically, his eyes still burning with passion.

"Alright! I'll still be your eldest brother in the next life!"

"That won't do! Next time, I'll be the boss!" Dark Mantis retorted defiantly.

"None of you are reliable, I'll do it!" the Dark Toad laughed heartily.

"three!"

Aigu took one last deep look at his sleeping daughter in his arms, his eyes filled with tenderness and reluctance.

"I've come to see you..."

He murmured softly, calling out the name of his deceased wife, and slowly closed his eyes.

"one!"

Boom—!

The quasi-emperor's barrier that had imprisoned the entire world has completely collapsed and dissipated!

This is the moment!

Chu Ge and Su Lingbai united their minds and activated the power of space.

Two spatial passages spanning the endless void and connecting the surface world of Witch Star instantly took shape.

Two figures, carrying the chosen survivors, vanished instantly from the collapsing world.

"Xiaoya, let's go."

Mi Tian reached out and gently stroked Mi Ya's head.

Miya nodded slightly, her expression calm.

The Immortal Feather vibrated with all its might, carrying an army of millions of angels, all of them flying into the celestial rift connecting to the divine realm, disappearing in an instant.

The annihilating power that had been accumulating in the outside world surged into the shattered world of music like a tsunami.

All things in heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, grass and trees, were swallowed up and dissolved by the power of annihilation.

Above the sky, Leng Yue gazed in the direction where her disciple had disappeared and murmured softly.

"Lingbai, your master is waiting for you in the starry sky..."

As soon as she finished speaking, her figure, along with the entire shattered world, was completely swallowed up by endless annihilation.

The violent annihilation power raged for a long time before slowly receding.

The once bustling and magnificent world of music has been completely transformed into a desolate and chaotic void.

After an unknown amount of time, a mysterious black figure quietly stepped into this desolate void.

He looked around, made sure no one was there, and was about to turn and leave.

A long, serene sigh suddenly rang out.

"well……"

The shadowy figure suddenly stopped, his aura instantly tensing.

His gaze swept across the entire void, but he saw not a single person. He then spoke in a deep voice.

"Who?"

The mysterious voice from the shadows paused, then chuckled softly, a hint of relief and self-mockery in its tone.

"Too."

"You can even abandon your country, your people, and your own daughter."

"It's perfectly normal for people to forget about me, their teacher."

The dark figure shuddered, his pupils contracted sharply, and his tone was icy cold.

"Come out... Mr. Nicholas."
