Chapter 851 - The Final Chapter (1/2)
When the sheep and deer brothers were settled, Olu suddenly paled.
“What’s the matter, Olu?”
“Father, he…” Gao Peng saw panic for the first time in Olu’s eyes.
“Don’t worry unnecessarily,” Gao Peng comforted Olu.
“Master,” Dumby suddenly said. “My teacher, it seems… he’s dead.”
“How is that possible? So many King Gods were left together.” Gao Peng couldn’t believe it.
“My teacher left a soul seal in my body. The soul seal… is now broken.” Dumby’s voice sounded forlorn.
“I’m going to find my father!” All of a sudden, Olu jumped up and ran out.
After Gao Peng and Olu left the surface sea and entered the Chaotic Vanity Space, they stopped in their steps. In the space in front of them, a huge heart was floating. Thick and scary-looking tentacles were growing in all directions from the heart.
A dark wave of red energy was released from the Root of Termination, and the boundary ring that surrounded Jiutian Shidi was directly broken.
Gao Peng could sense that the power fluctuation from the Root of Termination was boundless.
A string of blue characters suddenly appeared in space: You can change the ending.
Gao Peng blinked. Suddenly, his hair stood on end!
Wasn’t that his own golden finger?!
“What are you talking about?”
The font transformed: In actuality, this is your destiny.
“Bah, I don’t believe in destiny!” Gao Peng cursed. “Everything I’ve accomplished up to today was with my own sweat and blood.”
Next was written: Do you believe in yourself?”
“…”
The message continued: You don’t even believe in yourself. You are a man with self-awareness. There has never been a free lunch in this world. You pay for what you get.
Gao Peng opened his mouth and suddenly didn’t know what to say.
It was true that there was no such thing as a free lunch. One would eventually have to pay the price.
“What price would I have to pay?” Gao Peng said hoarsely.
“Everything that you have.”
“…”
“But why did you select me?” Gao Peng was in a state of confusion.
“Because you are very special.”
“Very special?” Gao Peng smiled bitterly. “That also depends on my own abilities.”
“Gao Peng… We helped you deflect attention and got Silly to help you escape. Run as far as you can,” Fatty Big Sea suddenly said.
“I will protect you, Master!” Dumby said firmly.
After a long moment of silence, Gao Peng said, “There’s no need. You’ve been protecting me all these years. Although I’m the trainer and you’re familiars, I’ve always felt like I was living off of you guys,” Gao Peng said.
“Gao Yueyue, who would protect you, if not me?” Goldie said quickly.
“If you go back, help me tell my grandfather that my biggest regret was that I didn’t accompany him properly,” Gao Peng said, resigned. “If I had known it would come to this, I wouldn’t have wandered around, but rather stayed at home with him.”
“Gao Peng…” Fatty Big Sea and Desolion sensed that something was wrong from Gao Peng’s tone.
“Finally, I want to say… I really don’t regret knowing you. Hahaha.”
Gao Peng said to the golden finger in his mind, “I think I may have figured out what you are.”
The golden finger in his mind didn’t respond.
“You’re an accumulation of the will of the world, just like the plane source, but you’re bigger than that. You’re the accumulation of the whole universe, so since the monsters appeared in this world, you record it, so you know exactly how they evolved. But the monsters that haven’t appeared in this world, like the new monsters that I created with a magic brain, were named by me,” Gao Peng said calmly. “And you gave me the golden finger to deal with the Root of Termination, right?”
The golden finger didn’t respond.
“That isn’t right… If you could deal with the Root of Termination by yourself, why would you need me? The key to dealing with the Root of Termination lies in me?” Gao Peng mumbled to himself.
“You mentioned that I have to give all that I have. That is to say, the key to destroying the Root of Termination lies in me?”
The Root of Termination spread larger and larger until the whole Lightning Elemental World was swallowed up. It was as if a huge black hole existed in the starry sky.
Some of the surrounding planets were swallowed like dust.
The Root of Termination had slowly expanded, fast approaching Jiutian Shidi and even the edge of the Surface Sea…
“Hoo…” Gao Peng heaved a sigh, and a complex smile appeared on his face. “Remember this—I am not sacrificing myself because of you,” Gao Peng said fiercely.
When Gao Peng made up his mind, he felt like he’d been sapped dry inside.
Scattering into numerous beautiful light specks, space was frozen over.
A pair of giant purple eyes appeared above the Root of Termination.
In comparison to the giant pair of purple eyes, the expanded Root of Termination appeared very small. The whole world was covered with purple light.
Under the purple light, the Root of Termination rose to resist, but it was like a boat battling strong waves. Although the Root of Termination resisted desperately, their strengths weren’t in the same league.
With a massive boom, the Root of Termination was destroyed, just like a fragile and delicate crystal sculpture being smashed and exploding into beautiful pieces.
The broken space was like pieces of debris or leaves dancing in the sky.
An intermittent cry echoed between heaven and earth.
Gao Peng had disappeared, leaving behind a bunch of dazed familiars.
Da Zi was shocked, then started frantically looking for traces of Gao Peng. Its tail wagged furiously, its eyes filled with confusion.
How… How had he disappeared after merging bodies?
“Gao Peng is playing hide and seek with us.
“How could he become as stupid as Silly?! Enjoying such naive little games!” Da Zi thought angrily.
With cracking noises, broken bits of space began floating around again.
Da Zi and Goldie became alert and looked over with great hope, but they only saw broken space debris condensing into a glass ball, and the glass ball was empty, nothing in it.
“What are you doing, Silly?” Da Zi became slightly angry. How could Silly be so ridiculous at this point in time?
Silly’s body shook for a while, before it mournfully said, “I… I just want to collect Gao Peng’s scent, so I can smell him when I miss him.”
Da Zi eyes were instantly red. “Gao Yueyue is still around! What do you need his smell for?! I’ll keep the glass ball for you.” Then Da Zi reached over to take the space glass ball.
There was a silver flash as Silly dodged while holding onto the glass ball. “I’m not stupid.”
“You give that to me! Gao Peng is mine! ” Da Zi’s pupils shrank into a vertical line, its wings spread out, and it glared at Silly.
“That’s enough,” said Dumby hoarsely. “Do you still want to fight at this time?” Dumby sounded cold. Its palm shifted into soul mode, then it started to search within space using its full powers in both the Soul rule and the Death rule it would revive its master!
The Death rule transformed into a physical state, and the chains of laws crisscrossed in space.
The flames in Dumby’s eyes soared. “The Death rule—Yin and Yang Reversal!”
Some vague shadowy figures appeared in space. They seemed to be attracted by something and floated over after being seduced.
Dumby’s eyes swept around quickly.
“No…
“Not him.
“Not him yet.
“Why isn’t he there!” Dumby thought.
The flames in Dumby’s eyes became furious. It waved its right claw. All the shadows in the void were torn to pieces!
