Chapter 65: That Familiar Blue Path

Chapter 65: That Familiar Blue Path

The two arrived at the palace, just in time for the final scene before the demise of the God-King.

Countless elves fluttered and danced around, all officials kneeling on the ground.

The Follower stood by, his demeanor calm and detached.

The small world presented its gift.

“The contract between Dein and the divine power is embodied by those elves.”

As the collective will of mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, and all things, elves hold a special status, one deeply cherished by divine power.

The gods love humanity, but they also deeply cherish everything on this continent.

Dein discovered this secret and exploited it.

“Now, as the Emperor nears death, his contract elves will also naturally perish, leaving the divine power ownerless,” the small world whispered to Fei Yi, “Remember the other person who possesses elves? Find him, and use those elves to form a contract, and the Follower will become your power.”

Fei Yi glanced at the demon beside her, who hadn’t stopped smiling, and spoke frankly, “But I have no interest in becoming a god.”

“I know,” the small world sounded like it sighed, but quickly resumed its usual tone, “I’ve said it before, I will respect your wishes. But this is a gift, Fei Yi.”

“To confront the will of Blue Star, you must stand at a position equal to the world. The heart, shell, and power of a deity, along with the half that belongs to me. Absorb them, along with the witch power within you, and you can face the world's will.”

“Hey, hey,” Fei Yi sounded discontented, “You're all embodiments of the world's will, still an incomplete will of Blue Star. Couldn’t you swallow it yourself? I was planning to—”

“Fei Yi,” the small world interrupted her, asking just one question, “When everything ends, where do you want to stay? Blue Star, or here?”

Fei Yi stopped short; she had been avoiding this question.

Blue Star was her home, but here too were people she loved.

“I don’t want to see you struggling and upset.”

Nor do I want to never see you again.

“That’s why I said, Fei Yi, this is a gift,” the small world spoke earnestly, “Only by devouring the will of Blue Star can you have the key to open the pathways between both worlds.”

Of course, it could also use that chip, plotting an invasion of Blue Star like in the first cycle.

In such similar low-dimensional worlds, their initial starting lines were the same.

"But the little world had long grown weary of endless wars. Now, everything had settled, the villains all perished. For the girl, the savior, to still laugh and frolic in His world, that was enough, wasn't it?"

Fei's eyes widened in an instant.

"So it can be like this?"

She couldn't help asking, "Is that why you've kept that chip all this time?"

"Yes, Fei. The chip, sustained by the ceaseless nourishment of the Black Moon, gradually awakened its will. But the Black Moon always used the energy of this world."

The little world spoke cryptically, but Fei understood immediately.

"Although the chip is also a will of the world, it was only a small part of the Blue Planet's consciousness, and a portion of its active energy came from this world."

"Then how could it compete against this world?"

Fei suddenly became interested. If one possessed the will of the world, merely opening a travel portal or such would be a waste, wouldn't it?

The girl's thoughts quickly became lively. The Black Moon and the chip had ruined her previous round's wealth accumulation, so compensating her in this round wasn't too much to ask, right?

But soon, she forcefully suppressed these expanding emotions.

"No matter how great the plan, first, we need to capture that escaped creature."

"However, before that—"

"Thank you, little world."

The barrier dissolved at that moment. As He had promised, He respected her thoughts. Why continue to blame?

"The little world had never lived as a human, existing outside humanity. Initially direct and willful, it was Fei who taught Him all this."

"He was grateful, appreciative, and forever loving."

Seeing Dean running out of breath, Fei hurriedly called upon the little world.

"So where is the guild president now?"

"In the place you know best, enjoying a delightful conversation with Marian."

Fei: "?"

It wasn't until she and Beelzebub teleported back to Ninihutown that Fei realized, since their last conversation, the guild president had been seeking out her forces.

With a clear purpose, he easily connected with Marian.

When the girl, whose beauty rivaled the gods, revealed her astonishing cunning to the president, he realized how right his decision was.

"Moreover, I didn't expect you to dismantle Theodore's entire power so swiftly," the president laughed heartily in the meeting hall of the Burn Night Assembly, "A witch who once brought only despair and death, now the savior of the world. Being a witness to all this is my fortune."

A sharp light sparkled in the president's eyes; he, like an emperor, was advanced in years.

The mercenary association he had built in half a lifetime indeed needed a worthy successor.

The Burn Night Assembly, very good, indeed very good.

In these chaotic times, it's the best moment for new powers to emerge.

Perhaps this time, he could place his bet.

"Want elves? Of course." The old man with graying hair stood up spiritedly, "This is a thank you for saving our world."

At that moment, Fei didn't notice the president's overly bright eyes. She quickly formed a pact with the elves and returned to the palace with them.

Just in time to see Dean draw his last breath.

"The emperor who commanded awe and respect has departed from this world forever."

"In the moment his soul drifted away, a tumultuous black fog instantly enveloped the entire sleeping chamber."

"Beelzebub was tasked with holding back the noisy mages and knights, while Fei hurried towards the adherents."

"The wings of the elves flickered with delicate light, and the ownerless Red Sun slowly lifted its head."

"The black fog did not last long. When the frightened and wary officials regained their clear sight, they realized that the venerable adherents who always served beside His Majesty had vanished!"

"Thus, the heart, shell, and divine power of the deity all fell into Fei's hands."

"The golden heart was the anchor, the Wheel of Fate the pathway, and half of the world's power the foundation."

"Absorption and fusion became easy and smooth."

"Her magic swelled, enveloping the supreme divine power, finally becoming one within Fei."

"When she opened her eyes again, she saw the ever-floating currents beside her."

"The true world was not just in the form of humans, animals, or vegetation."

"Golden light constantly flowed in her dark purple eyes, a witch of destruction, a deity of salvation."

"Fei stood here, at the very pinnacle of this world."

"No person, no god, no existence could surpass the power she wielded."

"Millions of acres of land stretched beneath her feet, and above, the red sun hung high in the sky."

"The thin threads of human fate spread before her eyes, and turning back, she saw the powerful three hearts within the devil's body, like a black hole."

"The devil too was outside the realm of humanity, connected only by a deep, intense thread of fate pointing directly to herself."

"Fei licked her lips and cast her gaze toward the distant horizon."

"Mountains and lakes lay within her view, and now, if she wished, she could easily capture the continuously rolling blue orbs."

"'Go, Fei,' the little world whispered in her ear, 'The will of the Blue Star has been striving for a long time to form a new power.'"

"'Then we mustn't keep Him waiting too long.'"

"As the witch descended, the chip tried to flee. But with power several times greater than the divine, she easily encased it in her palm."

"'What exactly did you gain in this world?' the chip banged against the surrounding barriers, its electronic voice fluctuating."

"'A lot of things,' Fei said unhurriedly, counting them off to the chip like a cat toying with a mouse, 'Polly's head, the high witch Jacqueline, Clifford's leader, the dark sorceress Jenny, and Theodore... quite a lot, too many to count.'"

"The chip stopped running, its computing power telling it that the chances of victory were infinitesimally close to zero, so the blue orb hovered in mid-air."

"'What more do you want?' the chip asked mechanically, 'If you want to return to the Blue Star, just consume me. Why waste time talking?'"

"'Because I, you see, don't just want to return to the Blue Star,' Fei smiled slightly, seizing the chip from afar."

"The power of the world crazily penetrated, and a sharp noise erupted from within the blue orb."

"She easily found the will of the Blue Star, like a tsunami swallowing a stream."

"The next moment, an explosive sound roared into her mind."

"If it weren't for the body of a deity, her own body could never have withstood it."

"Fei suddenly looked up, and within her field of vision, a very familiar azure blue passage slowly opened before her."

"Like a door opening in the sky."

"Her connection with the will of the Blue Star finally opened the pathway completely."

"And Fei could distinctly feel that as long as her power remained, this pathway would always exist."

"'Congratulations! The world line correction rate has risen to 100%!'"

"The familiar announcement lit up before her eyes, as the wind swirled the air in continuous spirals."

"'What do you plan to do next?' the little world asked as it circled her, 'Do you want to go home first to take a look?'"

"'That is the plan,' Fei gazed at the pathway for a long, long time, finally exhaling deeply and stretching lazily, 'But before that, I still have some classes to attend.'"

"Counting on her fingers, she added, 'And I need to collect a few things first. Using Theodore’s, no, the entire Black Moon’s leftover corpses and inheritance, I might not be able to create a game like 'Demon God Continent', but a simple magic obstacle game should be doable, right?'"

"In the first round, Theodore turned the entire world into a game program. So in the second round, it's fitting to end things with him and his subordinates' souls."

"After all, death is the simplest thing."

"But being gradually destroyed by players is not so simple."

"'I hope they won't blame me.' As soon as she finished speaking, Fei suddenly turned her head."

"Beelzebub’s irritated expression hadn’t even had time to vanish."

"He had been silently following Fei from the start, watching her merge with the deity's body, devouring the erratic, strange orbs."

"He didn’t ask anything, suppressing his demonic nature."

"In that moment, Fei suddenly thought, it wouldn’t be bad to ask Principal Lilith for a couple of days off."

"'Don’t be angry,' Fei said with a smiling gaze at the demon, who averted his gaze, his tail tip drawing circles on the ground, 'Everything is settled now. Sorry for making you wait so long. So, as compensation, how about a short trip?'"

"The girl's eyes seemed to brim with the fragmented light of a starry sky. She extended her hand with a broad smile, 'Come to my hometown, and together let's explore another world.'"

"——End of the Main Text——"

"Author's Note:"

"This marks the end of the main story, the conclusion I had envisioned from the start. I am very grateful to the readers who have come this far. There were many issues in the later stages: insufficient development of subplots, rushed pacing, and inconsistencies in the characterization of the little world, to name a few—all my fault. My writing skills and experience are limited, and I stumbled quite a bit towards the end. I apologize for that. Fortunately, I've managed to write what I wanted to express. Regarding these issues, I will slowly work through them in the future, hoping to meet you again in a better story."

"The third and fourth academic years will be covered in the extras. There will be romance and modern alternative universe (AU) lines as well, starting from tomorrow. The updates will continue till the end of this month or early next month, totaling about 30,000 to 40,000 words. If interested, feel free to check them out. The piracy protection rate is only 70%. If it's not your cup of tea, that's okay too. We'll meet again someday, I hope."

"Finally, thank you. I bow to you, dear readers~"
