Within Mu Changqing's body at this moment.
A graceful figure bloomed with radiant frost, immeasurable frost, like a flower of origin, erupting with countless brilliant divine lights, illuminating the formless void.
Empress Xuan Yue, who had slumbered for an eternity, finally awoke.
Now, she was a true goddess, her expression serene, her aura peerlessly cold.
With a single step, Empress Xuan Yue emerged from Mu Changqing's form, her gaze calmly fixed upon him.
An eternity in a single glance, this was the scene.
Mu Changqing met her gaze, his own calm and indifferent, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.
"Mu Changqing, I told you, I would help you achieve unparalleled renown, witness your magnificent future years. I have done so."
Suddenly, Empress Xuan Yue let out a soft laugh, her tone no longer icy but carrying a trace of complex emotion.
Mu Changqing remained silent, his hands clasped behind his back, standing still in the formless void.
Empress Xuan Yue's boundless sacrifices were destined from the start.
Although, for beings of this caliber, the very concepts of destiny and fate were nonsensical and laughable.
Yet, it was so. This was their shared destiny.
"You have merged with the Ancestral Origin, existing with me, eternally unyielding."
Mu Changqing stated softly.
"Yes, this is my fate, to become a part of the Ancestral Origin, the most crucial cornerstone of your invincible path."
As her words fell, Empress Xuan Yue shifted her graceful form, no longer lingering on the mortal realm.
She stepped towards the heavens, transforming into boundless, radiant frost, and merged into the purple Ancestral Origin.
At that moment, the purple Ancestral Origin trembled, possessing self-awareness.
Mists of grand fog danced, covering the formless void.
Around the purple Ancestral Origin, strands of brilliant frost erupted like the dawn.
Mu Changqing stood there, his eyes closed in tranquil contemplation.
His sole supreme Dao began to re-evolve, to transform step by step, reaching its ultimate sublimation.
At that moment, Mu Changqing again felt, comprehending the Ancestral Origin, comprehending the sole supreme Dao, stepping into a new realm.
It was like a phoenix undergoing nirvana, comprehending the profound mysteries of true nothingness.
At this instant, Mu Changqing's aura exploded anew, vast and unfathomable.
When his eyes opened, they witnessed the desolation of myriad realms.
Around him, all things and all laws arose and perished with his will, their rise and fall but a fleeting moment.
He recreated heaven and earth, recreated time, recreated reincarnation, the laws of the Great Dao, the order of the universe's rules.
The brilliant star rivers surrounding him, the seas of cosmic light, the chaotic cosmic seas, the vast universe, all stars blazed, annihilated in an instant, and were recreated anew.
Including himself, the Ancestral Origin, everything.
Mu Changqing retraced it all in a fleeting moment, transforming nothingness into existence.
"You have succeeded, finally forging your own path, stepping into a new nothingness. I am deeply gratified."
Nothingness smiled, showing a look of satisfaction. He felt no fear from Mu Changqing's further transformation, but rather exhilaration.
He had waited for countless ages, he had been invincible for too long, endured too much solitude.
Perhaps, their gap was not significant at this moment; even if Mu Changqing held the advantage, he could not be annihilated.
But at this level, victory and defeat hinged on thought, on the heart.
Nothingness possessed an invincible heart, yet also a desire for death.
Mu Changqing possessed an invincible heart, aiming for ultimate renown, and this was the disparity.
They were separated by an immeasurable distance, and yet perhaps, they were as close as can be.
In the formless void, there was no concept of distance.
Mu Changqing raised his hand, his aura transforming into ultimate power, vast and surging forth, pervading the entire formless void.
His qi was boundless, surpassing all ages, peerlessly unmatched, leaving the heavens and earth without light.
His gaze erupted with the most brilliant and intense killing intent as Mu Changqing looked at Nothingness and said softly.
"I, Mu Changqing, the successor, invite the ancient sage to depart."
As he spoke, Mu Changqing forged all the myriad realms, the Ancestral Origin, all Dao and principles, all primal laws, into a single sword.
His aura was immeasurable.
"Come."
Nothingness remained calm, also transforming his entire being into a single sword.
Purple and gray divine radiance collided, a power beyond all comprehension, no matter how the past, present, and future changed, no matter how powerful the variables, none could compare to this strike.
Boom!
After the strike, splendor withered and fell.
The formless void exploded, transforming into a tangible realm.
Heaven and earth returned to unity, all things dissolved into nothingness, and then from nothingness, existence arose anew.
Brilliant radiance, transcending all describable imagery.
This strike, the magnificent reverberation of the grand era that lasted for countless ages.
On a certain day, a complex voice sighed.
"I... have been invincible for too long, I am tired! Mu Changqing, from this day forward, you shall be the heavens of all realms, controlling all things, utterly... invincible."
The sound of fading fell, dispersing into the void.
There, only a single radiant and majestic figure stood, seemingly present and yet ephemeral.
Mu Changqing stood at the pinnacle of all realms, finally achieving his name as the world's undisputed invincible.
End!
...
New book [Summoning System at the Start, I Will Ultimately Be Invincible] has launched. Available on the homepage, not a system novel.
It's finished. Mu Changqing's story ends here, a bit rushed, and I'm somewhat bewildered myself.
A thousand words are not enough to express what is in my heart.
The pacing was too fast, the world-building too grand from the start, and my control over an invincible protagonist story was lacking, much faster than I anticipated.
I apologize that a sufficiently complete story was not presented.
Therefore, the new book is not a story where the protagonist is invincible from the start, but one that pursues invincibility.
It will also be decisive and thrilling, a villain story, featuring a protagonist unbound by rules and order.
This time, I will refine the details more thoroughly and write slowly. If the reception is good, I plan to write over a million characters. I don't want to finish it at four or five hundred thousand characters again. I hope the protagonist's story can accompany the esteemed readers for a longer journey.
The world-building will be equally grand, the power levels equally heaven-defying, but it will start from small and grow, controlling the pace gradually. I don't want it to be like Mu Changqing's story, where the beginning was too grand, the pacing too breakneck, and the later stages too deep to manage.
Additionally, regarding this book, there will be side stories later, written casually.
Once again, I thank all the esteemed readers for their support. I sincerely thank all the readers who have followed this story to the end. I hope the new book will catch your eye, and you will once again follow the author on Luo Chenfeng's path to invincibility.
Finally, the main storyline has concluded. Thank you all again. If fate allows, I will see you in the new book.
