The cosmic will was silent for a moment, then said, "Sorry, I just want freedom..."

"I'll send you back to where you came from, Earth is within this cosmos. It's an era of the end of the law, but I can allow you to continue having this supreme power there, eternal and unbroken."

Qin Chuan sneered and mockingly said, "Is this the reward for being an accomplice?"

The cosmic will was silent for a moment, then its voice turned cold, saying, "Don't push your luck."

"Ha, pushing my luck? You killed my son, and I should be grateful?"

Qin Chuan sneered.

The cosmic will said, "You actually know very well, he's not truly your son, you as a father is false."

"Ha, what is true? What is false?"

Qin Chuan coldly said, "Do you think what everyone worships is truly those bones turned to dust in the tomb? Or the stone-carved monument? What they worship is the genuine emotion that lasts in the world!"

"Because once there was genuine care, genuine effort, mutual concern, so it is remembered! That's the essence of familial love!"

"Qin Zi is my son, through every life and death, as long as I refuse to let go, even reincarnation can't change it!!"

The cosmic will was silent for a moment and sighed, "If that's the case... then you should die. Those who hate me must perish."

"Pfft—"

The next moment, Qin Chuan's body exploded, even his essence vanished like smoke, completely perishing.

"Oh, what's the point."

The cosmic will sighed and dissipated.

...

From then on, the world underwent great changes.

Many years later.

In a quiet valley, a wild laugh suddenly echoed, the voice young, yet sounding insane.

"Hahaha, hahaha!"

"The Great Qin Ancestral Dragon Scripture, this ancient scripture, I finally mastered it! Truly, heaven does not forsake me!"

"The six major sects, you joined forces to exterminate my Blood Demon Sect, I, the Blood Demon Saint Son, swear to wash you all in blood!!

"And you, bitch of the Jasper Pool, this Saint Son will definitely make you taste the most vicious torture, so you know the consequence of refusing me!"

A handsome yet sinister white-robed young man was seen sitting cross-legged by the pond in the valley, gesturing wildly.

He was a Saint Son of the Demon Sect, named Wan Tao, his sect was annihilated, only he escaped, then accidentally found an ancient scripture—the Great Qin Ancestral Dragon Scripture—under the pond in this valley!

This scripture was incredibly powerful, surpassing any Cultivation Technique he knew, it seemed created by a supreme giant, and it could evolve by itself.

He knew he had found a treasure!

So he devoted himself to cultivation for decades, finally mastering it, and his cultivation reached the legendary Divine Realm.

At this moment, he was full of ambition, ready to leave the valley and turn the world upside down. In this world, the Divine Realm is invincible!

"Hmm?!"

Suddenly, his pupils shrank hard, clutching his head with both hands, his expression twisting: "What... what is happening, how can I... no, no, I don't want to become you! I don't want it, no!!!"

Bang!

A dazzling white light burst from his body, instantly engulfing everything around.

After a long time, the white light dissipated, and the entire valley had been leveled, even the mountains within a thousand miles were vaporized.

The white-robed young man stood where he was.

His eyes were somewhat puzzled, but gradually, it seemed countless memories flooded his mind, his eyes gradually becoming clear.

"Who am I? Who am I... I am Qin... Qin... I seem to be surnamed Qin, I am... I am Qin Chuan!!!"

Rumble!

When he shouted that name, the heavens flashed with lightning and thunder, black clouds covering the sky, this world trembled!

"What's happening!"

"What happened?"

"This aura... could someone have broken through to the Divine Realm? No, the Divine Realm can't be this terrifying, what is this!"

Countless strong people in this world were terrified.

Some big figures soared into the sky to investigate, but were suppressed by the ubiquitous pressure, awkwardly falling to the ground.

In front of this aura, the entire world could only prostrate on the ground, even those ancient monsters sleeping could only shiver.

After a long time.

Qin Chuan regained his composure.

A trace of hatred flickered in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Cosmic will, my dear system!! Blood debts... must be paid in blood!"

He wanted to avenge his son.

It was he who directly killed Qin Zi, but fundamentally, it was the conspiracy of the system, because it had all been arranged by the system!

"First hide, quietly grow stronger, though I've lost my former cultivation, my realm and insights remain, this time, I rely on neither heaven nor earth nor the system, only on myself!"

He took a deep breath, restraining his aura.

The cosmic will, though powerful, was not omniscient or omnipotent, as long as he developed covertly, revenge was not without hope.

"Ding, you might be disappointed again."

At this moment, a mechanical voice sounded.

Wham!

Qin Chuan's body trembled, pupils suddenly contracting, a chill flowed from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.

"How did you find me?"

Qin Chuan took a deep breath and asked.

The cosmic will easily said:

"Since you came to this world, I've always been within your body, everything you know, I know, you have The Eternal Wish as a backup, how could I not know?"

"Stop struggling, you have no chance at all, everything you are comes from me, everything you know, I know, what do you use to fight me? Do you really believe people can defy the heavens?"

The cosmic will disdainfully laughed:

"Some ignorant ones always claim to defy the heavens, but do you know if the heavens truly doesn't allow it, they don't even have the qualification to cultivate! Unable to cultivate, how can one defy the heavens?"

"So many ants can bounce because heaven allows it. If it didn't, they're just dust."

Upon hearing this, the confidence in Qin Chuan's heart was slowly crushed, an unprecedented sense of helplessness swept over him.

Indeed.

Everything he had came from the system, everything he knew the system knew, how could he fight the system?

"Ha, indeed, my previous thoughts weren't wrong, people shouldn't control everything because if they do, there are no more variables, if a mistake is made, not even a chance to regret."

He laughed self-deprecatingly.

He had control over too much, almost no variables, so at this point, no variables could save him either!

"Mm, indeed so, everything is flawed, the full moon must wane, sometimes, losing something is not necessarily a bad thing."

The cosmic will approvingly said.

Then, its voice turned cold, saying, "Though I admire you, you still must be sent! Rest in peace!"

With that, an unimaginably pure Power of Destruction exploded from within Qin Chuan, aiming to completely obliterate his will, with strands of destruction traveling through invisible causality, to destroy all the Great Qin Ancestral Dragon Scripture!

From now on, he could never revive.

"Buzz!!!"

Yet at this moment, everything stopped.

"A variable! How can there be a variable!!"

The cosmic will shrieked in horror, it tried its best to kill Qin Chuan, only to find itself unable to move.

All its power was suppressed, suppressed by a higher-dimensional force, a force beyond description!

Rumble!

At this moment, the sky gathered clouds, revealing a huge gray vortex, inside the vortex, three illusory pillars appeared.

Those were not pillars.

They were three sticks of incense!!!

Xuanhuang Mountain, Heaven Sacrifice Platform, three sticks of incense!

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle..."

The three sticks of incense quickly burned, large amounts of blue smoke flew from the vortex, sweeping across the sky towards Qin Chuan.

Meanwhile, a familiar and resolute voice seemed to come across time and space, from that Xuanhuang Mountain.

"Can it really realize a wish? Then I won't hold back... may my father live eternal and unharmed!!!"

Wham!

As the voice echoed, all the blue smoke entered Qin Chuan's body, at the same time, the cosmic will's wailing came from within him: "Ah! How can this be!! No, no!!!!"

Boom—

Qin Chuan felt something seemed to explode inside him, infinite power and insights, all merged into his body.

His cultivation rose infinitely!

He felt himself becoming immensely vast, immensely grand, the universe was him, he was the universe, he was the will of this cosmos!!

But he didn't care about this.

He stood there dumbfounded, listening to that familiar voice, recalling the scenes along the way, tears silently streaming down...
