NOVEL NEXT Chapter 682: The Infinite Despair of Reincarnation
“Three, two, one~”
“The main storyline has been unlocked! Players, feel free to strategize to your heart’s content~”
“That wraps up this week’s production group report~ Thanks for watching, see you next time~”
As the screen gradually dimmed, Bai Ming sighed in relief and stretched.
“Good job, Yubbing sis.”
Tang Yubbing smiled and shook her head, organizing the documents in her hands: “Finally done.”
“Yeah.”
Watching the communication device next to her, flooded with players rushing towards Ancestral Cang like hungry wolves, Bai Ming couldn’t help but laugh: “Using Ancestral Cang as the final boss? That guy really thought this through!”
“Fits his character perfectly.”
Outside the streaming room, Shi Qingyan also turned off her equipment and walked in: “They should be back now, right?”
Sure enough, a crack lit up, and Young Master Sang and the others returned to the Sang family, chatting and laughing.
“Great job~”
“Finally finished…what a hassle.”
Nian Nian stretched deeply: “This stupid game has tormented us for months, and it’s finally coming to an end.”
“What are you talking about? It’s just the beginning!”
Yan Rouwan casually remarked: “‘Rebel Immortal Sect’ is going to be in operation for a while.”
“But the future operations can just be handled by Bai Ming’s dedicated team,” Gu Yingmian sighed, rubbing her shoulders: “I really don’t want to play NPC again. It was exhausting.”
“Exactly! Next time, let Li Shanyan take care of this.”
While everyone was chatting and laughing, a somewhat deep voice came from the doorway:
“So… can you tell me now?”
Everyone turned to see Huo Longyuan silently standing at the door: “What exactly happened?”
Young Master Sang and Nian Nian exchanged glances and burst into laughter.
“Nothing much. Just as you see.”
“Ancestral Cang wants to destroy the world, and our game happened to need a final boss.”
Huo Longyuan still looked confused, so Young Master Sang walked over and patted his shoulder.
“Come on.”
“I’m going to take you somewhere.”
——
——
This was a world Huo Longyuan had never seen before.
Tall buildings, dazzling neon lights, speeding cars, and hurried people everywhere.
Everything was unfamiliar to him.
Huo Longyuan walked down the street like a misplaced outsider, his expression somber.
Because the most important thing was.
…In this world, he couldn’t feel any aura of spiritual power or rules.
He couldn’t sense anything at all. From cultivation to soul, it was as if entering this world turned even the Primordial Deity into an ordinary mortal.
“How does it feel?”
Young Master Sang walked ahead in a suit he didn’t know he was wearing: “Do you like this world?”
“…It’s okay.”
After a moment of silence, Huo Longyuan nodded: “I don’t know if I like it, but at least I don’t hate it.”
“Right?”
Young Master Sang chuckled: “A world without rules or spiritual power is surprisingly interesting.”
“Is this another universe?”
Huo Longyuan couldn’t help but ask: “If it’s still the Primordial Universe, unless Ancestral Cang has destroyed all rule power, it’s impossible for there to be no rule power at all.”
“To put it simply… you’re not wrong.”
Young Master Sang casually replied: “This is considered another universe.”
“…It’s a universe I created.”
Huo Longyuan was silent for a long time before bitterly speaking:
“You… have you reached the level of a Primordial Deity?”
“I don’t know.”
Young Master Sang shrugged nonchalantly: “But I guess it’s about the same.”
“After all, creating a universe doesn’t sound that complicated when you really think about it.”
…Heh. Huo Longyuan couldn’t help but chuckle helplessly.
This was something countless Primordial Deities dreamt of, something that drove Ancestral Cang mad.
Yet in his mouth, it became so light and effortless.
“When did this happen?”
“It should have been a long time ago.” Young Master Sang pondered and said, “I probably already had such power when I reincarnated in the Abyss Realm.”
“Just that back then, I didn’t know.”
No wonder.
No wonder he wasn’t anxious at all when Huo Longyuan mentioned Ancestral Cang.
It turned out they were no longer in the same dimension.
“The Primordial Universe has already been left in tatters by Ancestral Cang.”
As they walked into a tall building, Young Master Sang continued explaining: “If you want to patch it back up, frankly, it’s quite troublesome.”
“And I’m a bit lazy. So I chose a simpler method. Just right to use the Virtual-Real Eye I just unlocked.”
Huo Longyuan mulled over that statement.
Virtual-Real Eye…
…Could it be.
He harnessed the power of the Virtual-Real Eye and directly transformed the false world of the game ‘Rebel Immortal Sect’ into reality, filling it into the Primordial Universe?
Before Huo Longyuan could ask, the elevator arrived.
Stepping out of the elevator, Huo Longyuan found himself in a bustling office.
Many employees were busy taking calls, typing on keyboards, or carrying files back and forth. Everyone seemed incredibly occupied.
When they saw Young Master Sang, each employee politely greeted him: “President Sang.”
Young Master Sang smiled back at each of them, then led Huo Longyuan into an office.
Inside was another familiar face, Xu Hongyi.
“Bro, you came at the right time.”
Xu Hongyi was sitting in front of a computer, cheerfully turning the screen towards Young Master Sang: “Look, the strategy is almost complete.”
On the screen, countless players were besieging the towering Ancestral Cang. An uncountable number of spells were bombarding Ancestral Cang.
Ancestral Cang’s expression was furious, almost hysterical. He kept chanting curses, desperately waving his arms as the destructive power poured out without reserve, erasing groups of humans.
But the players that got eliminated just scattered into light spots, reviving from the resurrection points and joining the battle again.
Facing this unending wave of players, Ancestral Cang saw his health bar slowly decline to zero and finally broke down.
“Sang! Fold!”
“You wait! I will not let you go!” he shrieked.
In front of the screen, Young Master Sang chuckled.
“Yeah, what a coincidence.”
“I had no intention of letting you go either.”
Soon, Ancestral Cang’s health bar hit zero.
In his unwilling and resentful gaze, his massive body gradually vanished, and the surrounding darkness faded away.
With the system notification, the message of the final boss Ancestral Cang being defeated echoed throughout the server, and all players cheered in delight.
In his last moments, Ancestral Cang cast a deep, resentful glance at the Abyss Realm.
…Even if he died here.
His Primordial Spirit would still remain unyielding, bound for reincarnation.
When he revived, he would surely take revenge, blood debts with blood—
—Repayed…
Ancestral Cang stared blankly at his resurrected form, his gaze vacant.
No reincarnation.
He had become just like before.
And his health bar reappeared once again.
“The first batch of players has appeared.”
“The first kill rewards have been distributed, and boss Ancestral Cang has officially entered the permanent challenge level, ready for players at any time.”
Ready…?
Challenge?
This was the first time Ancestral Cang felt an emotion named despair since his birth.
