[Clearance Rating: S]

[Unlocked Achievements: [One Hundred Possibilities of World Destruction]

[World’s Undertaker] [Return to the Void Cannot Catch Up with My Footsteps]

[Note: You, who were drawn into the vortex by a false prophecy, were never truly the Child of the Sun, lacking the ability to save humanity. Every time people placed their hopes in you, it ultimately ended in despair. In countless resets, the world was destroyed countless times in your hands. Your technique and experience in destroying the world have reached their peak, to the point where even Return to the Void cannot catch up with your footsteps.]

[‘As long as I destroy the world fast enough, the world won’t be buried in Return to the Void!’]

[Lies Become Truth] [Great Prophet]

[Note: False Great Prophet: Talking nonsense. True Great Prophet: Making false lies become real facts. Undoubtedly, the Holy Light Mage who originally fabricated the “prophecy” was merely a false Great Prophet. You, who ultimately transformed everything into reality, are the true Great Prophet.]

Special Achievement: [Disaster of Despair and Light of Salvation]

[Note: Your actions in the Nightmare Fragment instance have deeply imprinted the entire world. You are both the Child of the Sun who saves humanity and the Dark Day that burns the world. Despair and hope, destruction and salvation, end and rebirth... In this world, you have become the embodiment of two opposing concepts. Moreover, you symbolize the concept of ‘Sun’. You will thus possess special abilities and authority in related domains.]

[Beginning special reward draw.]

[You obtained special drop: Nightmare Crystal (Purple) × 100.]

[Note: Purple Nightmare Crystal is the highest-grade nightmare crystal, originating from the highest-quality world root. You have saved the entire nightmare world; this is a gift from the world.]

[You obtained special character card [???].]

“Oh my.”

As the brand new character card slowly emerged in the pale golden ripples, Bai Yi looked at the card’s description, his eyes involuntarily opening slightly wider, letting out a surprised short sound.

The card’s effect was quite unexpected.

“Actually...” Bai Yi’s widened eyes blinked slowly, then curved into a smile, “how interesting.”

...The moment he saw this character card, a series of plot associations naturally unfolded in Bai Yi’s mind. It seemed he had already thought about how to arrange this card’s appearance in the future.

But now, that wasn’t important. What was more important was...

The youth in the second-floor apartment in the old city district slowly closed his eyes. Golden sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating his entire face. The paleness, coldness, and intense inhuman sensation ultimately melted in the sunlight, giving an impression of ultimate perfection.

—That was divinity.

An invisible and colorless aura that ordinary people could neither perceive nor distinguish surged around him, like misty sea vapor rising at dusk, spreading from him to the entire world he occupied, as if to cleanse all impurities and dissect their original true essence.

After lunch, Bai Xiaoxi lay collapsed on the sofa.

Bai Yi began researching the Principle of All Things he had just comprehended, and also took the opportunity to research the system currently being upgraded.

—For his previous self, the system was an incomprehensible rule-based entity. But after comprehending the rules of forging lies into truth, the system became observable, learnable, and researchable for him. However, if his current understanding of the Principle of All Things was at an elementary school level, then the system forged by Bai Yi across infinite timelines using the Principle of All Things was undoubtedly doctoral-level knowledge. To fully grasp and understand it thoroughly would require significant time.

“...With so many conditional restrictions, saying that achieving certain goals would unlock the system creator’s permissions, it was all a lie.”

—The so-called creator’s permissions were never determined by the system from the beginning, but depended on Bai Yi himself.

“...Whenever I comprehend the Principle of All Things, I can perform deep operations on the system. Is this the so-called creator’s permissions?”

Bai Yi unmercifully criticized other versions of himself.

“How unfair, deceiving even myself.”

However, based on the system’s originally given timeline for unlocking creator’s permissions, the other Bai Yis probably never expected that he would master the Principle of All Things so early?

......There was a subtle feeling of having won.

If Bai Xiaoxi, who was lying on the sofa due to the dark cuisine’s power, knew that the two-legged beast next to him was so excited because he discovered his progress had exceeded other Bai Yis’ expectations, childishly believing he had won a small victory, and that his strange competitive spirit had been satisfied... even Bai Xiaoxi would probably roll his eyes.

—What a childish two-legged beast.

And after Bai Yi comprehended the original Principle of All Things that composed the system, all character cards derived from the system’s capabilities began to change.

This time, without going through the system, Bai Yi himself could upgrade the cards using the legend degree he had collected.

Golden ripples boiled like an ocean in mid-air, and every character card underwent earth-shattering changes.

Simultaneously, as Bai Yi’s own divinity increased, the awakening degree of the [Rhythm of All Things] talent began to rise.

At this moment, the outside world had just reached the seventh day of the disaster.

Bai Yi’s perception silently spread outward with the enhancement of the Rhythm of All Things, from the old city district apartment, to Yuanyang, to Yao Country, to the continent where Yao Country was located, and to other continents beyond the ocean...

He heard countless sounds and perceived the rhythm of all things.

The rhythm of tectonic plates cracking, of small islands being submerged by volcanoes in the ocean, of surging tsunamis in storms, of aircraft wings falling from the sky, and the voices of countless people running and seeking help...

He perceived the flow of spiritual qi when numerous extraordinary beings used their abilities...

Sensing all these rhythms and the evolution of his own cards, Bai Yi’s thoughts slightly moved.

He made some more suitable modifications to his original plot.

“It seems... I can slightly adjust the plan?”
