I saw new scenery again, felt brand new experiences.
Witnessed vistas never seen before, and savored such dazzling fortune.
So wonderful.
I was just blaming my student for spoiling and hoarding, but now, isn't it the teacher who is the greediest?
Not only did I use this rare opportunity to satisfy the greedy desires of this old self, but also gained fame, seemingly turning into a standard of morality, a holy figure.
Pretending to be indifferent all my life, in the end, I can't resist feeling proud of wearing this crown and robe.
Before dying of old age, such surprise awaits.
Thanks to everyone, for fulfilling me.
And thanks to the world, for allowing me to achieve something.
"Finally, for you all, no, for myself, let us take a step forward!"
She smiled brilliantly, saying goodbye to the firmament.
The path achievable by the craftsman named Carrion Eater ends here.
Everything henceforth will be left to you.
A clear sound rang from between her hands.
Ka—
Crystal growth proliferated, countless interwoven streams of light replaced the Pillar of Descent, filling the sky once more, reflecting the ocean, illuminating all things with such vibrancy.
The principle of Bei Gong reversed completely here!
In her hands raised high, Ascension began once again...
Just like endless embers rekindled, rising from the earth, glowing softly, heading towards the ceaselessly flowing stars.
Bridge after bridge rose from the ground, receiving the light descending from the sky, merging and colliding, rippling out with substance.
Like the wind sounding in all directions.
A ripple of faint light crossed the boundaries, effortlessly travelling to distant places in the present world, disappearing, then another rose, extending endlessly, infinitely.
The Invisible Hand caressed every inch of the present world, sweeping over mountains and oceans, crossing storms and turbulent times, gently embracing everything.
Washing away the dust of the old, making heaven and earth glow anew.
Not biased by high mountains, nor alienated by valleys, everything is equally granted new value in that faint light.
Even blending embers and Zhi Fu, integrating this gift into the essence of alchemy, entrusted into each person's hands.
Like candy given to every student at a graduation ceremony.
Alchemy seems to have flowed more smoothly, as if the hard practice lightened a bit.
No immediate enhancement or earth-shattering change, but subtle changes everywhere, silent and pervasive, moistening things without a sound.
Henceforth, let fortune in this world be increased by one more degree!
This is her final refinement offered to the world.
When the descent dissipates, darkness is traceable no more.
And the silhouette standing above the sea is no longer visible.
Only at the very end, she seemed to turn back, smiled at them, then stepped forward...
In the wind blowing from afar, sounds of farewell laughter seem to come, full of joy and blessings.
From now on, you continue to move forward.
The further the better.
Leave all I've created behind, need not look back.
Grandmaster · Corpse Eater returns to Superior.
Within the collapse, the Shadow of You Sui gradually dims.
Elder Anvil extends his hand to catch the lingering ember falling towards him from the sky.
Silently, clenching his fist.
For so many years, he prided himself on employing any means and leaving no concern, for the road he chose, even clashing swords with his former teacher.
Yet she never saw him as an enemy.
Even, leaving this rebellious student with a final gift.
"You should leave."
Master of the Heavenly Furnace looked down, expressionless, telling him, "This is the last dignity your teacher left for you."
"Since the victory and defeat are decided, whatever humiliation and vilification the Master of the Heavenly Furnace has, just speak it, why bother with dignity?"
Elder Anvil responded blankly, "Instead, I want to ask— for the sake of victory, sacrificing so much... Even if you endure today, how long can you continue procrastinating in the future?
By then, how many can still mend patches and sacrifice themselves to open a new road for you like her?
This kind of world masked and painted with lies and sacrifices, what future does it have?"
Master of the Heavenly Furnace remained indifferent, silent, only his gaze no longer hiding the coldness and malice.
Unknown numbers of craftsmen looked up, eyes filled with anger, furious.
Boom!!!
At that moment, cracks appeared again at the shattered sea and sky, after the ruins' traces, the Flame Light returned from the Vortex, burst out and soared skyward.
"...Rotten bones in the tomb, corpse-guarding old dog!"
A burning Flame Shadow broke the fissure, stepped out gradually, lifted his eyes, glared at his arrogant demeanor: "Descent futile, fortune fruitless, besides showy pretenses, what else is there to shame or even have a face to stand here and chatter?"
In Ji Jue's hand, the Heavenly Enemy Sword, its residual light blazing bright, the streaming brilliancy pierced through the crumbling Shadow of You Sui, dispelling all smog and contamination.
Ultimately, pointed to that hypocritical face, the raspy voice echoing across the world:
"—How is present, how is future, how can you, such a vile wretch, deserve to decide!"
Elder Anvil remained indifferent, gazing down.
Like a breeze brushing the face, unmoved.
Just watching the sword pointing at his face, seeing the pawn stepping off the board. As Jian Yuan said, this unhidden Ling Li sharpness already exceeded the bounds of poison and medicine, beyond definition and distinction, can't deal with it casually anymore.
Too bad, but this is also good.
Very good.
After years of fighting and retreating, striving and failing, when such an opponent appears before him, he unexpectedly begins to look forward to the future.
Within the boiling Shadow of You Sui, he took a final glance at the Master of the Heavenly Furnace.
As if saying goodbye.
Darkness contracted, converged, vanished into the green flame glow, never to be seen again.
Leaving only a sea returning to silence, with waves turbulent, scarred everywhere.
Within the hollow sky after the scattering of infinite stars, there's still a final lingering streak of faint light gently descending, drifting.
Like dancing fireflies, illuminating his eyes.
"...Do I have one too?"
Ji Jue was astonished, unexpectedly caught off guard for a moment.
Yet as he cautiously reached out to catch it, he seemed to hear once more the warm laughter, as always so joyful.
Just like how a teacher remembers every student.
This final streak of faint light, how could it forget you?
From now on, work harder for the future!
