I chose the safe house, and the Human Alliance regretted it.

Wang Wei stood in the sky, his clothes fluttering even without wind.

The laws that this realm was so proud of were like child's play in front of him.

The powerful figures from the Heng Realm who surged in like a tide, who were still clinging to the last precepts and ready to die, were all firmly locked in mid-air the next second.

There were no deafening roars, no earth-shattering battles.

Only silent suppression.

Puff, puff, puff—

A series of explosions rang out, and countless bodies shattered inch by inch, turning into pure and clear particles of law light that scattered across the sky.

With each disappearance of a figure, a brand new path takes root in Wang Wei's soul.

[Achieved Tier 2 of the Law of Desolation!]

[Achieved Tier 2 of the Growth Law!]

[Achieved Tier 2 of the Star Law!]

[Achieved Tier 2 of the Mist Law!]

The notification sound kept ringing incessantly.

The power of these people's laws all belong to Wang Wei alone.

His body, soul, and origin are being filled, transformed, and sublimated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Dozens of laws surged wildly at this moment, hundreds and thousands of them layering together to form a vast and boundless Dao Domain Sky Curtain, enveloping his entire body.

The various law ranks also advance step by step, first rank, second rank, third rank... until perfection.

Tao City below remains as usual.

Li An looked up at the lonely, fierce figure high in the sky, his eyes filled with even deeper sorrow.

……

In the distance, streaks of light traversed the boundary and rushed towards them.

Of the three thousand realms of Hengjie, not a single place escaped unscathed.

Ancient Wilderness Clan, Underground Demon Abyss, Extreme Cold Secret Realm, Heavenly Fire Dojo, Ancient Clan...

All the forces hidden throughout the ages have emerged.

They disregarded the cost and the entire clan rushed to Tao City.

"The ancestral precepts state that when a realm lord descends upon the world, he shall be slain!"

A mournful roar echoed throughout the three thousand realms, reverberating between heaven and earth.

Countless living beings burned themselves, transforming into the fastest force to break through the air, rushing towards Wang Wei.

Even if each one of them is just going to their death.

Yet they were calm, resolute, and without regret.

Wang Wei stood high in the sky, his expression growing colder and his heart sinking deeper.

He could crush all combat power and kill ten thousand enemies with a wave of his hand, but he could not crush the obsession of this entire world.

Who exactly is behind all of this?!

Who orchestrated this grand scheme that will last for millennia?

The billions of living beings in the Hengjie realm are so determined to kill him!

The sheer madness of these people moved even Wang Wei.

"you……"

Wang Wei whispered, "Why bother?"

No one answered.

His response was met with even more selfless and courageous individuals who followed in his footsteps.

The killing never ceased, yet the Great Dao continued to return to its source.

Thousand laws, two thousand laws, two thousand five hundred laws...

Countless great principles were completely perfected and integrated within his soul.

The laws that were originally fragmented, scattered, and each had its own function were now connected within his body into a vast and boundless complete Dao lineage.

Wang Wei at this moment.

All things arise from the mind; all paths are shaped by the body.

……

Several days and nights passed.

Hengjie was once a prosperous and carefree place where everyone lived freely.

It has completely changed its appearance.

All the smoke and fire in the three thousand realms have ceased, and the mountains and rivers for ten thousand miles are deathly silent.

The wilderness is devoid of life, the secret realm is devoid of Taoist priests, the clans are devoid of incense offerings, and the world is devoid of clamor.

The once pristine land of eternal freedom has been reduced to a desolate, blood-red wasteland.

Rivers of blood flowed, telling tales of life's vicissitudes.

The last Hengjie child to rush in turned into specks of light and vanished in the wind.

[All three thousand Great Daos have been perfected!]

[The host has gathered the essence of all laws in the world, transcending the shackles of dimensions!]

As the final notification faded, complete silence descended.

In the entire world, only three figures remained: Wang Wei, Li An, and the returning guardian, standing alone between the vast天地 (heaven and earth).

The wind blows across the sky, and the landscape is desolate.

Wang Wei was surrounded by boundless Dao radiance, with countless laws encircling him, making him sacred, vast, and invincible.

But there was no trace of elation at reaching the summit in his eyes, only an unyielding bewilderment.

He became stronger.

But he personally slaughtered all the living beings in this world.

"So...who orchestrated this?"

Wang Wei gazed at the desolate landscape and spoke softly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the void trembled slightly.

Immediately afterwards, countless gentle and familiar figures slowly stepped out from the void.

Fatty Li, Chen Junjie, Zhao Lie, Liu Zhiqiang, Old Liu, Qian Mengxun...

These people were ethereal figures, yet they wore faint smiles, their eyes revealing an age-old weariness and a sense of relief.

Those who disappeared in the small world have finally reappeared in the world.

"It's you guys!" Wang Wei's eyes widened.

However, they are not physical entities, only phantoms remain.

"It's you guys!"

It's not a question, just a statement.

"Paying homage to the Tang Emperor!" Old friends from the small world all knelt in worship!

Wang Wei's gaze sharpened as countless hidden fragments of memory and the sealed truths of his past life flooded into his mind.

He finally saw it clearly.

In his past life, he saw the inherent flaws in the laws of the universe and the destiny of all races to be enslaved by those laws.

In his past life, he wielded power in the ancient Tang Dynasty and glimpsed the ultimate flaw in the universe:

The laws of the heavens do not protect living beings, but are high above, enslaving all races, imprisoning the path of cultivation, and forcing all beings to grovel for life.

To break this deadlock, he used his own body to suppress all the myriad paths, exhausting the power of the entire universe to gather the chaotic laws of the entire universe, and forcibly created the Balance Realm, a pure land where everyone can borrow the laws and everyone is equal.

However, he was unwilling to sacrifice any of the ancient Tang people and shouldered the heavy burden of all laws alone. In the end, his Dao body collapsed, leaving behind endless regrets. He failed to completely sever the root of the laws' enslavement of all races.

It was precisely this compassion that gave the ancient Tang dynasty people the opportunity to make their plans.

"We've waited for you for countless eons." Qian Mengxun spoke first, her voice soft, tinged with a hint of melancholy.

"In your previous life, you protected everyone in the world, but you betrayed yourself."

Chen Junjie slowly stepped forward, his gaze resolute: "If you are unwilling for the common people to die, then we will make this decision for you."

Fatty Li grinned, still looking the same as always, but his eyes held a deep sense of hardship and sorrow.

"Boss, countless ages ago, you sacrificed yourself to protect all of us and ensure our survival. You left only a wisp of your soul. Countless ages later, we will dedicate the entirety of the ancient Tang Dynasty to ensure your true transcendence."

Wang Wei's body stiffened slightly, and a sudden tightness gripped his chest.

Double Legacy Instructions, Testing Ground, Martyrdom of All Beings, Harvesting of the Laws...

All the seemingly cruel, absurd, and resolute arrangements are instantly linked together to form a complete closed loop.

The Guardians welcomed him back to his rightful place, thus beginning their destiny.

The sacrifice of him across the three thousand realms is to perfect his path.

They deliberately erased the traces of the deceased in the small world, and deliberately set up a deadly trap with the last instructions, forcing him to slaughter the entire Heng Realm and suppress all laws!

It was because in his past life he would rather destroy himself than harm the common people.

In this life, they defied fate and reversed cause and effect.

In his previous life, the Tang emperor sacrificed himself to ensure peace and tranquility for all peoples.

In this life, all races sacrificed themselves to help the Tang emperor transcend worldly desires.

"You all know... that after I awaken, I will grieve for eternity."

Wang Wei said in a low voice. He won the Great Dao, he won destiny, he won against the eternal heaven and earth, but he lost all his old friends and all living beings.

The entire Hengjie was stained with blood, and countless families perished, leaving only him and Li An standing alone, eternally desolate.

No, Li An's figure was also dissipating. His true form was among these ancient people in the ancient Tang Dynasty, but it was merely a phantom.

"Only in this way can you truly surpass your past self." Qian Mengxun gently shook her head, her eyes clear.

"In your previous life, you suppressed all paths with your own domain, but this was ultimately only a temporary solution. The flaws in the Heavenly Dao will remain forever, and the enslavement of all races will never end."

"In this life, you will gather all three thousand Great Daos, bearing the Dao fruits and obsessions of the entire ancient Tang Dynasty, so that you can completely crush the Heavenly Dao, rewrite the rules, and sever the shackles of eternity."

Chen Junjie continued in a deep voice: "The laws of the universe enslave all living beings. What we are doing today is not cruelty, but to sever all your ties and help you achieve an invincible Dao fruit that is impeccable."

Fatty Li scratched his head, a frank smile on his face: "Boss, don't be sad. From the moment we started this scheme, our fates were already sealed. We were born to pave the way for you, and we will die for your transcendence. To fulfill your wish is the only wish of billions of living beings in the entire ancient Tang Dynasty."

After listening to what the others had to say, Wang Wei remained silent for a long time.

The ancient mystery has completely dissipated, and all doubts, foreshadowing, and unanswered questions have been settled.

The ancient Tang dynasty renamed itself Hengjie to conceal the ultimate Dao secret.

The projection of the small world into reincarnation is to conceal his past life memories and reshape his invincible origin.

The two sets of teachings are mutually exclusive and contradictory, designed to create a unique and deadly trap, forcing him to perfect all laws.

Everything, everything, is for today.

In order to make him truly transcend all ages and rise above all laws.

"It's time to wrap this up, boss." Fatty Li's smile faded, and his expression became solemn.

"We, who bear the last perfect original law of the ancient Tang Dynasty, are your very last piece of the puzzle."

As soon as he finished speaking, these old friends suddenly shone with extremely dazzling divine light of law, which converged towards Wang Wei.

"In our past life, you protected us and ensured our eternal peace."

"Today I will protect the Tang emperor for eternity!"

Countless heartfelt voices, spanning millennia, resounded across heaven and earth, echoing through the desolate mountains and rivers.

Boom—! The final source of the laws entered his body, and Wang Wei's three thousand Great Daos were completely perfected and unified.

The Dao radiance surrounding Wang Wei instantly surged billions of times, breaking through the shackles of heaven and earth, shattering dimensional barriers, and crushing the entire universe's Great Dao.

The chaotic laws of the heavens, the heavenly rules that enslave all races, and the unchanging flaws of the universe all collapsed, shattered, and annihilated at this moment!

Under the starry sky, eighteen empires and hidden clans abound, leaving everyone in shock and bewilderment, unaware of the dramatic changes that have occurred in the world!

At this point, Wang Wei truly reached the summit, transcending the past and present, transcending dimensions, transcending the laws of nature, and transcending all laws.

Truly invincible in the world.

The void slowly calmed down, and the divine light completely receded.

These ancient figures also vanished completely into the world, leaving no trace.

They fulfilled their destiny and brought about the success of the Tang emperor.

The world fell into complete silence.

Three thousand realms, ten thousand miles of empty city, desolate mountains and rivers, eternally bleak.

The once vibrant, carefree, and universally benevolent ancient Tang civilization has been completely lost to the passage of time.

Hundreds of millions of people were sacrificed.

All my closest relatives and friends have passed away.

In the end, only one figure remained in the entire ancient Tang world.

Wang Wei stands tall in the heavens, all laws return to him, invincible for eternity, yet his eyes are filled only with an unyielding loneliness.

The wind passes through mountains and rivers, silently and without a sound.

Wang Wei raised his eyes, gazing at the boundless void and the myriad paths of the universe, "The laws are unjust, enslaving all living beings."

"The cruelest act of generosity in this world is to give up the entire world so that I alone can be made a god."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Wei withdrew all the laws of the universe from himself, and the power of the laws could no longer affect the operation of the universe.

If it is unjust, then it should not exist!

The grand scheme of ages has finally come to an end; the common people have sacrificed themselves, and the departed have returned to dust.

He shattered the injustice of Heaven's laws, ended the enslavement of the laws, and transcended the shackles of the past and present.

They won the title of invincible for all time, but lost the entire ancient Tang Dynasty.

From this day forward, there will be no more Tang Dynasty in the world; from this day forward, the one person will be revered for all

postscript:

[The following content is unrelated to the main text]

Wang Wei stood in the void, the three thousand Great Daos flowing silently within his body.

At this moment, he had subdued the Great Dao of Laws, but a lingering doubt remained in his heart.

Why are the laws of this universe inherently flawed from the very beginning?

Why is it that laws are inherently superior to all living beings and enslaving all races?

This is not a flaw in the natural evolution of heaven and earth at all, but more like... a deliberate setting by someone.

Once a thought arises, the Daoist mind is stirred.

Now, he transcends dimensions, time and space, and all laws. With a single thought, he can traverse the past, present, and future, and with a single glance, he can see through the illusions of eternity.

His gaze suddenly became clear, piercing through layers of time and space barriers, crossing the long river of eternity, and breaking through the fundamental barrier of the world.

Countless layers of destiny, schemes, and sacrifices crumbled before his eyes, revealing the most fundamental truth.

At the end of the long river, there is no longer the void of the Heavenly Dao, nor the primordial chaos.

Instead, it is a bright and peaceful little house.

At the table, an incomparably handsome man sat upright, his fingertips hovering over the keyboard, his expression calm as he quietly gazed at the text on the screen.

Drunk in midsummer.

The creator of this world, the sole mastermind behind the scenes who writes the eternal destiny, determines the fate of all living beings, and sows the seeds of the Great Dao's imperfections.

It turns out that all the suffering, all the martyrdom, all the conflict between heaven and man, and all the eternal regrets are all part of the story.

Heaven has never been heartless.

It's just that some people put pen to paper, treating it as a game, treating it as a book.

It was not a natural disaster, but a man-made one.

Hengjie was the testing ground in his writing, and Gutang was the old landscape he sketched.

Wang Wei's life, and the sacrifices and joys of all people throughout history, are nothing more than a text-based story on a screen.

The barriers of time and space shattered completely, and illusion and reality merged seamlessly.

Wang Wei, the fictional protagonist in the book, breaks through the dimensional shackles and slowly walks out of the endless void to stand in this real world.

The supreme Daoist aura subdued itself, producing no earth-shattering phenomena, only a pair of eyes that saw through all illusions, which fell heavily on the young man before the table.

At this moment, Zui Banxia is reviewing a chapter of the story she has already written:

Chapter 327, the last sentence.

The bloody chaos came to collect debts, but was wiped out as soon as it appeared.

What ancient blood debts seem so laughable at this moment.

"Hmm..." Zui Banxia muttered to herself, "I've gone off-topic. What I originally wanted to express was that there is no such thing as fairness or justice in this world, only the survival of the fittest."

"Justice may be delayed, but it will not be absent. It is delayed because it can no longer be concealed."

"As long as it can be kept secret, there will never be justice..."

He was about to make a change when his fingers, which were typing on the keyboard, suddenly froze in mid-air.

He stared blankly at the protagonist who had appeared out of nowhere, someone who should have only existed in words, his eyes filled with utter astonishment and disbelief.

He wrote about Wang Wei's invincible killing prowess, his tragic ascension to godhood, and his eternal loneliness, but he never imagined that the fictional characters he created could break free from the plot and step out of their own world.

Their eyes met, and all was silent.

After a moment, Wang Wei spoke slowly in a deep voice, carrying a sense of desolation and bewilderment that seemed to transcend eternity.

"I poured out the blood and tears of all living beings to pave my path to godhood, and wrote my eternal loneliness."

"Do you feel good writing like this?"

(The End)
