Confessing to someone who thinks I'm a fat otaku, and then crying when monsters descend?

"Big brother... he really lost?"

Jinglong found it hard to accept this fact.

This defeat means that all their efforts from beginning to end will have been in vain!

The reason he and Lao Ba joined the eldest brother's camp was because the environment in the seventh and eighth tiers was not much better, and they felt the same way.

They were not fighting for personal gain, but for "change".

In a sense, all nine are qualified guardians.

Jianyang and his group were protecting the "future," while Chen Nian and his group were protecting the "present."

Chen Nian slowly landed, looking at Jian Yang lying on the ground.

"Big brother, this time it's really over."

You've become much stronger than before.

"Actually, if you don't cooperate with Second Sister's plan and don't send me to the Ninth Level, I might not have had the chance to awaken my divine power," Chen Nian said in a deep voice.

"My goal is to change the world, not destroy it. It's better to be defeated by you than to be devoured by that serpent."

"That's true."

Jianyang lay on the ground, gazing at the beautiful sunset sky, and murmured:

"The sky here... is beautiful."

Chen Nian remained silent. He had personally witnessed the world of the Ninth Level, which was vastly different from the First Level. Such a beautiful sky was a luxury for the original inhabitants of the Ninth Level.

Of course, Jianyang's actions were wrong, after all, his path to becoming king was built on the lives of countless others.

But Chen Nian could not refute the beliefs and will he upheld.

"Fifth brother, grant your eldest brother's last request. Seventh and eighth brothers joined because I instigated them. Treat them leniently."

"Wait, what do you want to do!"

Chen Nian suddenly realized something was wrong and was about to approach when he was suddenly blasted away by a force.

From afar, one could see Jianyang closing his eyes, his body transforming into a shower of light that gradually dissipated beneath the evening glow.

"Big brother!"

"Big brother!"

"He is disintegrating himself."

"How could this happen...."

Except for Mourning, who remained completely silent, everyone else spoke up in disbelief.

As the only person in the world capable of fighting Chen Nian, Jian Yang possessed immense power upon his self-destruction, making it impossible for anyone to forcibly approach him!

"No! Big brother!"

Jinglong and Yue Si tried to get closer, but were blocked by that terrifying power and could only watch helplessly as Jianyang's body slowly dissipated.

Wang Chen shook his head and said, "Perhaps this is the true meaning of dust to dust, ashes to ashes."

Ye Yuan covered her mouth, tears welling in her eyes: "But Big Brother... why did you do this?"

Mo Ning said calmly, "Previously, the World Serpent's body pierced through the nine levels, leaving a gap in the sky, allowing the World Tree's divine power to pour down from the higher levels to the lower levels at a faster speed."

"In this way, the lower world can receive equal nourishment."

"But this is only temporary, because the power of the World Tree will repair this 'hole' on its own."

"His act of self-destruction at this time is intended to use the immense power of his self-destruction to preserve these rifts forever. In this way, it can be considered a peaceful way to change the rules."

Junyi sighed: "By offering my own body as a sacrifice to bring peace to all generations, I can atone for all my past sins."

Ninth Sister sat listlessly on a rock, resting her chin on her hands: "I don't know what you men are thinking. You either fight to the death or sacrifice your lives for righteousness. Isn't it enough to just be happy?"

Chen Nian did not try to stop him again. Perhaps he would have a chance if he went all out, but that would be tantamount to forcibly trampling on his elder brother's last dignity.

Finally, Jianyang's body completely dissipated, turning into countless streams of light that drifted into the distance.

The gap left by the World Serpent was forcibly fixed by this force.

From now on, the nine levels will be completely interconnected, sharing not only the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but also allowing people from the lower levels to travel to the upper levels at any time.

The ninth level.

People born into hardship and suffering stare blankly at the sky.

"What... happened...?"

They discovered that the once desolate and dark sky was slowly turning blue.

They discovered that the air, which had been filled with a rotten, sour smell, was slowly becoming fresher.

They also discovered that this desolate land was gradually beginning to come to life, and even the grass was bravely sprouting new shoots.

A portion of Jianyang's power also transformed into nourishment for the world.

When a whale falls, all things are born.

"Could it be... that our hard times are finally coming to an end...?"

"Waaaaah, waaaah..."

Beside a dilapidated thatched hut, a pale and emaciated little girl threw herself into her mother's arms and wept bitterly.

"Silly child, why are you crying all of a sudden? You'll be living in a much better world from now on, and I'm so happy for you!"

"But... I'm just so sad!"

A year ago, the mother and daughter embarked on a long journey to move to a place with slightly better farmland, but their food was stolen along the way, and they almost starved to death.

Later, the mother gave all the food to the girl and then fainted, leaving the girl sitting in the wilderness crying loudly.

Just then, an uncle arrived.

The uncle left the girl food and water, then knelt down, patted her head, and said, "Believe me, the world will become a better place in the future."

The girl was crying loudly because... she suddenly had a certain feeling.

That uncle will never come back...

.......

"Second sister, eldest brother said at the end that he hoped the seventh and eighth brothers would be treated leniently."

Mo Ning nodded calmly: "Each of you shall be confined for a hundred years to reflect on your mistakes."

"There's another personal matter..."

Chen Nian opened his palm, and a halo of light floated in his hand; that was the three souls and seven spirits of Luo Yueyao that he had collected.

"I know that bringing the dead back to life is a bad practice that defies fate, but her situation is special. Could you use your unparalleled wisdom, Second Sister, to help reconstruct her physical body?"

Mo Ning glanced at Chen Nian: "She is a goddess, her body is unlike that of an ordinary person. If she wants to reshape her physical body, she will need at least ten years of the essence of the sun, moon and stars."

"Okay, I'll wait! Thank you, Second Sister."

Chen Nian was overjoyed. What did ten years matter as long as there was a chance to meet again?

"You should all go back and clean up the mess. From now on, each of you should take charge of your own area. As for the seventh, eighth, and ninth levels, I will temporarily take care of them."

Everyone went their separate ways.

"Goodbye, Fifth Brother. I'll sneak over to play with you when I'm bored, but don't tell Second Sister!" Ninth Sister waved to Chen Nian with a smile.

"Okay, okay."

After leaving, Chen Nian first returned to the Second Tier Academy.

His return immediately caused a sensation, and people rushed to surround him.

In the end, Chen Nian had no choice but to summon the Chaos Devouring Beast to bring himself, Li Hua, An Qingluo, and the others into a separate space.

"Pear Blossom, now that everything is resolved, you mustn't cause any more trouble," Chen Nian said sternly.

Pear Blossom pouted, "Why the haughty attitude? So what if you've become more powerful now? Humph!"

"Of course! We're way out of his league now. Look how popular he is!" An Qingluo chimed in sarcastically.

"Senior An, we can't let our relationship grow distant. I'll treat you to desserts sometime."

An Qingluo's eyes lit up, and she agreed with a smile, "Alright then, it's my honor!"

Then Chen Nian went to pick up Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing and bring them back to their original world.

The familiar city of Hangzhou, the familiar reed marshes, and the familiar two adjacent wooden houses.

"Xiaobai, there's something I need to tell you."

"Um....?"

"Actually, you haven't mistaken me for someone else. I remember now, I was the one who saved that little white snake hundreds of years ago."

Xiao Bai pursed her lips and smiled shyly, "Hmm... Xiao Bai has always believed that she hasn't mistaken the person for someone else."

"Sister, didn't you understand what he meant? He means he's your benefactor, and it's understandable that you'd want to repay him with your body!"

"Qing'er, you're so annoying..."

Then Chen Nian brought Su Jinyu, Ye Hongling, Zhao Yixue and the others back to the fifth level.

They also visited Qin Yu, Ye Li, Gu Qingyue, Shang Zeying, Mu Qingxuan, and others.

And of course, there's always her loyal and supportive daughter, her secretary Tang Rou.

And the great fox spirit Tamamo-no-Mae, and her beloved daughter Chen Simeng.

Chen Nian didn't forget any of the people he cared about.

........

Ten years later.

For aged grains, ten years pass quickly.

Whether it's him or those around him, they're either gods, demons, or vampires...

With a long lifespan, ten years is generally not enough to bring about any significant changes.

Of course, Chen Nian did a lot during these ten years. In addition to maintaining the stability and peace of the fifth class, he also did not neglect his leg-touching business.

For example, those like An Qingluo and Xiaobai, who hadn't suffered before, have all been victimized by Chen Nian over the years.

Of course, regardless of Chen Nian's identity, Li Hua's older sister did not approve of him dating her younger sister. Every time she saw him coming, she would chase him away. Later, the two could only secretly go to the mountains to meet.

However, the most obvious change in the past ten years is that the little girl has grown up.

"Daddy, Daddy!"

"Get up! If you don't get up and eat, I'm going to get angry."

Feeling a small, tender hand shaking him, Chen Nian finally opened his sleepy eyes.

There was a little girl by the bed, about seven or eight years old, with her hands on her hips and her chubby cheeks puffed out.

Her name is Chen Qingyu, which means little fish.

"Dad, you said you'd take me to see Sister Simeng today. I didn't win against her last time, so I want to have a go at her!"

"You little girl, you're only a few years old, and you're already learning to fight every day... Besides, Si Meng is three years older than you, so it's not surprising that she can't beat you."

"I don't care, it's all your fault for not teaching me properly!"

Just then, a woman's voice came from downstairs: "Why aren't you two coming down for dinner? It'll get cold!"

"Here it comes!"

Chen Nian led his daughter downstairs and saw Su Jinyu wearing an apron and busy at work, with breakfast already laid out on the table.

"Honey, why don't you take Xiaoxiaoyu out to play later? I have something to do today."

"What could you possibly have to do? I can't even be bothered to talk to you!" Su Jinyu raised an eyebrow.

"Today is different; ten years have passed."

"Oh... then go ahead. Sweetie, Mommy's taking you out to play today!"

After having breakfast, Chen Nian kissed Xiao Yu and Xiao Xiao Yu on the lips before hurrying out the door.

Soon, he arrived at the second-level main library.

For ten years, he had been looking forward to this day every day. Luo Yueyao's physical body had long been reconstructed, and her three souls and seven spirits had returned to her body. Today was the day she would awaken.

"Huh, why isn't Second Sister here? She usually likes to stay here all the time."

Chen Nian entered the library and saw a bed of ice. On the bed lay a woman dressed in a white dress with a beautiful and ethereal appearance.

He sat on the edge of the bed, waiting quietly.

........

A certain world in the second tier.

On a bustling street, a boy was squatting on a street corner, hugging his knees and silently bowing his head.

The boy was born into a prominent family, but his parents died in a power struggle. Although he managed to escape, he ended up on the streets, struggling to even get a decent meal.

suddenly.

A woman with a serene face stood in front of the boy.

The boy suddenly looked up.

He had never seen such a beautiful and elegant woman. None of the princesses and young ladies of the royal families could compare to her. However, her face was expressionless, like a delicate doll.

"What's your name?" Mo Ning asked casually.

"My name is... Merlin, sister, do we know each other?"

"I don't know you, but you can come with me from now on."

After saying that, Mo Ning turned and left.

The boy hurriedly got up and quickly followed Mo Ning from behind, as if he would miss this opportunity forever if he was even a step slower.

.......

Realm Ranger Camp.

Wangchen was having dinner with his daughter, Taxue.

"I can't believe it, ten years have passed in the blink of an eye!"

Xiao Wangchen smiled and said, "If I wait another ten years, your mother will probably be an adult. Then I'll go find her and rekindle our past romance, haha!"

He had barely finished speaking when his daughter kicked him in the knee.

"Are you a pervert? She's been reincarnated and you're still going looking for her? Don't ever say you're my dad again."

"She herself said she'd be my wife again in the next life!"

"Wash the dishes and wipe the table after you finish eating. Stop daydreaming all day long; you're not a child anymore."

"Your father is, after all, one of the guardians of the social hierarchy. Can't he have some dignity?"

"We'll count to three!"

"I wonder if you'll ever be able to get married..."

.......

The ninth level.

The Ninth Tier today is no longer what it used to be.

The sky is azure, the air is fresh, the land is covered with golden wheat, and people live and work in peace and contentment.

The girl in the red dress strolled briskly through the rice paddies, glancing around occasionally, as lively as a rabbit.

That's right, it's Ninth Sister.

She craned her neck and looked ahead, and saw two people sitting in the rice paddies, a man and a woman.

The boy was a naive teenager, only about ten years old, while the girl was a bit older.

"Oh my, is this the reincarnation of my elder brother? I never expected him to turn out like this."

"As for that girl... is she Big Brother's ex-lover? It's quite a coincidence that they bumped into each other after all this time!"

The boy blushed and stammered, "Sister, do you... have someone you like?"

"Someone I like... well, I don't think I have one for now, but there is someone I really admire."

Who is it?

"Many years ago, the world wasn't as good as it is now. I almost starved to death that day, and a handsome, strong-looking man saved me. He gently told me that the world would become a better place in the future!"

The older sister sighed regretfully, "The world has really become a better place now, but I've never seen him again."

Hearing this, the boy was speechless. He was too young and didn't know how to comfort his older sister.

Seeing this, Lingwu couldn't help but laugh out loud: "In that case, let your beautiful and kind-hearted sister lend you a hand!"

Raising his index finger, a red thread of divine power extended out, instantly controlling the boy.

"Sister, I like you! I'll become a better person in the future! Can you wait for me to grow up?"

The girl was instantly shocked by the loud confession.

As for Lingwu, she kept her accomplishments to herself and left happily, saying, "That's all I can do for you, big brother. Go play with your little nieces now~"

.......

Chen Nian was still quietly waiting by the bedside.

a moment.

The woman in the white dress on the bed stirred, her eyes slowly opening, and the world came into view once more.

Her gaze shifted to the bedside, and she exchanged a smile with Chen Nian.

"Welcome back, Yueyao."

P.S.: (The End)

This thread is for you to share your thoughts.

If you'd like to read the author's new book, you can follow the author to easily see when it's released.

Author's Closing Remarks

It's really not easy to finish a book!

If it weren't for so many readers, it might have been canceled halfway through. Thank you again for your support!

The author is quite satisfied with the ending; it's at least a fairly satisfactory conclusion, and he hopes it lives up to everyone's support.

Of course, everyone has their own interpretation of Hamlet, and we don't expect everyone to be satisfied. You can point out flaws, but you can't call it a bad ending.

To be honest, this book is quite selective in its readers because the beginning is poorly written, and some plot points have a certain reading threshold. It's not simply a straightforward and enjoyable read (such as the Pear Blossom arc), and there are even some angst-inducing moments.

So, you readers who made it to the end are all amazing!

But after reading this book, I believe you will be more moved than many other books.

At least the author felt a great sense of accomplishment after finishing the work.

Just as my goal is, to tell a good story, a story with flesh and blood, a story with a beginning and an end.

If you've done it, that's good!

Next, I'll focus on preparing for the new book. I'll definitely write a good opening, but whether the new book will go far depends on its performance and whether it will be enough to make a living.

After reading this book, I believe everyone will have a certain understanding of the author.

1. Writing style: Plot-driven, there will be exciting moments, but not mindless ones; there will also be emotional scenes at times.

2. Characters: I can only write stories with multiple female leads; I can't write anything else.

3. Update: The new book is expected to be updated twice a day, and three times a day if the sales are particularly good! You can say the author is short, but don't say the author is padding the story. The author never intentionally pads the story; they only lay the groundwork for the plot and characters.

Well then, see you again in the new book!
