Female Protagonist Assistance System

Chapter 118 : . It's Over

"Die!"

Xiao Yan's blood pool scattered, his face twisted and terrifying. He strode across space, the blood blade in his hand suddenly expanding. His form appeared directly in front of Gu Xun'er, the blood blade transforming into a blood light that pierced through space, slashing towards Gu Xun'er under the gaze of countless onlookers!

Gu Xun'er's gaze was profound. She flipped her right hand, slowly pressing down the square seal.

"First Seal—Mountain River Suppression!"

"Boom!"

A terrible storm swept out frantically from the sky. The Alliance's defensive barrier was torn apart almost instantly. Xiao Han, quick to react, released her own power, blocking this terrifying storm outside the Alliance. The Soul Clan didn't have such treatment. The remaining Soul Clan members were blown thousands of zhang away, with some even bursting into powder in an instant.

"Hahaha! Again!" Xiao Yan laughed maniacally, his blood blade once again slashing towards Gu Xun'er with overwhelming power.

Gu Xun'er let out a cold snort, her right hand pressing down again.

"Second Seal—Sky Annihilation!"

A storm several times more violent than before erupted again. The ground began to crack, large chunks of rock ground into powder and swept away by the gale.

"Tsk—"

Gu Xun'er suppressed the surging blood in her body, clicked her tongue lightly, and pressed down hard with both hands simultaneously, letting out a light shout.

"Third Seal—Spirit Shattering!"

When this seal collided with the blood blade, both of them shuddered simultaneously. Then, a terrifying energy wave instantly erupted, sending both of them flying.

"Boom—"

The earth shook violently several times. Large areas of land began to split open, revealing huge and deep cracks, forming a terrifying abyss.

In the sky, those still able to fly quickly appeared in the air around the abyss, their gazes urgently looking towards the smoke-filled horizon. Everyone knew that this was the all-out battle between the two, and the outcome would be determined here!

Countless gazes converged on the Heterogeneous Flame Plaza. There, a blood-covered figure was struggling to get up. Upon closer inspection, people found that this person was actually Xiao Yan. On the other side, Gu Xun'er, covering her chest, coughed twice and slowly walked out. Her golden robe looked somewhat disheveled, suggesting she was also injured, but far less severely than Xiao Yan.

"Impossible... impossible!!" Xiao Yan's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. His face twisted as he roared hoarsely, "This is impossible!! I am the protagonist... I am the child of destiny! How could I possibly lose to you... lose to you?!! This is impossible!!"

Hearing this, before Gu Xun'er could react, Xiao Han's face darkened first.

Child of destiny? How dare he claim such a title?!

"Gu Xun'er!! The one who should die is you!! It's you!! As long as you die! I can take back everything! My fortune! My status!!"

Xiao Yan seemed to have gone berserk. He let out a howl to the sky, transforming into a blood light rushing towards Gu Xun'er. His entire being emanated a frenzied aura, appearing as if he wanted to perish together with Gu Xun'er.

Seeing Xiao Yan wanting to go down with her, Gu Xun'er took a deep breath and quickly formed hand seals.

The square seal began to emit a crisp, low hum, and circles of golden spiritual energy spread out.

This aura... Xiao Han's eyes widened slightly.

There's no mistake, this is...

"Fourth Seal—Chaos Stirring."

In an instant, time stood still.

In Gu Xun'er's eyes, every movement around her seemed unable to escape her notice. The previously extremely fast Xiao Yan suddenly became extremely slow, and Gu Xun'er clearly saw the obvious shock on his face.

Finally frozen in terror.

"Bang—"

Unlike the first three seals, this last seal was like a spring breeze, seemingly harmless, yet the moment it touched Xiao Yan, his body visibly turned to dust.

"No—no!!!"

Watching the disintegrating parts gradually move upwards, Xiao Yan let out a desperate, unwilling wail.

At this moment, he finally felt fear.

Gu Xun'er's gaze towards him showed no ripples, no hatred, no pleasure, and no pity.

"No—"

With a final wail, Xiao Yan's entire being turned to ashes, disappearing into the air.

On the ground, countless people watched the ashes dissipating in the air, their bodies trembling uncontrollably. The half-year of apocalyptic despair had finally been relieved today!

"We succeeded?"

Hearing the earth-shattering cheers from the Central Plains, Gu Yuan and others were stunned, staring blankly at Gu Xun'er floating in the sky. Had this catastrophe finally been averted?

Only Xiao Han's expression instantly became solemn. She saw that as Xiao Yan completely dissipated, a jet-black mist silently emerged, attempting to escape.

Xiao Han waved her sleeve, Tribulation Lightning howling forth. Then, her entire being transformed into a silver light, shooting directly at the black mist.

Everyone was startled by her sudden action, thinking some new crisis had arisen. They immediately became alert, only to find that Xiao Han had vanished.

The scene shifted, and Xiao Han arrived in a pure white world. She looked up to see black veins entangling this white world, binding the entire world.

This was the location of the world's origin, the world's center, and what was entangled around the world's center was...

"Sha Qi." Xiao Han coldly called out its name.

Sensing her aura, the black veins trembled slightly, then began to contract frantically.

Xiao Han snapped her fingers, and blood-colored Tribulation Lightning appeared out of thin air, traveling along the black veins. The black veins touched by the Tribulation Lightning all turned to mist and dissipated. As the black veins disappeared, a sharp, miserable scream burst forth.

Xiao Han coldly watched all this and asked in a cold voice, "Where are Heaven's Mandate and Heaven's Path?"

Hearing Xiao Han's question, a voice laughed shrilly, full of ferocity.

"You won't find her!! Heaven's Mandate... you won't find her!! You can't save her hahahahaha!!!"

"Dead! She's dead!"

"You'll all die!!!"

Though Xiao Han had asked about both Heaven's Mandate and Heaven's Path, the Sha Qi only spoke of Heaven's Mandate.

Hearing the Sha Qi's words, Xiao Han's brows furrowed tightly, her silver eyes profound. The system clearly felt her overwhelming anger.

The system inwardly thought this was bad. Who didn't know that Heaven's Mandate was the beloved of the Realm of Chaos? How dare the Sha Qi curse Heaven's Mandate like this? Did it truly not want to live?

As the strongest in the Realm of Chaos, Heavenly Punishment's anger was something even Yin-Yang and the Rules dared not face directly, let alone mere Sha Qi.

Feeling the terrifying pressure bearing down, the Sha Qi was rendered speechless, simultaneously feeling a wave of despair.

Xiao Han let out a cold snort, waved her sleeve, and countless Tribulation Lightning simultaneously entangled the black veins, eliminating them at an extremely fast speed.

When the last black vein was eliminated, a great joy emanated from the world's center. At this point, the world of the Dou Qi Continent was finally truly liberated.

"It's over." Xiao Han stood with her hands behind her back, looking at the points of golden light suddenly appearing around her.

These golden lights were the world's fortune that had been devoured and stolen by the Sha Qi.

In fact, when the system initially issued the so-called mission, it didn't reveal the whole truth. The child of destiny possessed the vast fortune bestowed by the world, but couldn't take this fortune away. Even if, as in the original text, Xiao Yan left the Dou Qi Continent with Xun'er and Medusa for the Great Thousand World, the fortune on them would be automatically stripped away and returned to the world.

But the system hadn't lied either. If Xiao Yan had truly succeeded, the world would have collapsed.

Because of the Sha Qi.

The Sha Qi cultivated Xiao Yan to seize the world's origin. When everything proceeded as in the original text, by the time Xiao Yan left, that vast fortune wouldn't be returned to the world, but would be seized by the Sha Qi. Not only that, the Sha Qi had let part of its avatar infiltrate the world's center, entangling the world's origin. Once it obtained enough of this world's fortune, it could seize the world's origin without any obstacles. At that time, this world would inevitably perish.

Xiao Han withdrew her gaze but didn't rush to return. Instead, she asked the system, "You should have been specially dispatched by the Rules to assist me. So, do Heaven's Mandate and Heaven's Path also have corresponding systems to assist them?"

[I'm sorry, Host, there aren't any,] the system said with some regret. [I believe you're aware of the special nature of Lady Heaven's Mandate and Lord Heaven's Path. The Sha Qi directly sealed off the small world where Lady Heaven's Mandate had drifted long ago, seemingly intending to trap Lady Heaven's Mandate in reincarnation.]

In the Realm of Chaos, Heaven's Mandate was the weakest in strength but the most important existence. She governed fortune, all living beings, and even the world's origin. The Sha Qi, wanting to break free from constraints by seizing the world's origin, would naturally keep Heaven's Mandate under strict guard.

As for Heaven's Path...

[Lord Heaven's Path is in the Great Thousand World. Her reincarnation was much later than the other lords. The Supreme God's intention is that once all the lords return, they can personally look after Lord Heaven's Path.]

Hearing this, Xiao Han frowned slightly.

"The Rules can't infiltrate the small world where Heaven's Mandate is?"

[The Supreme God feared alerting the enemy and causing the Sha Qi to harm Lady Heaven's Mandate,] the system responded respectfully.

"Is that so..." Xiao Han sighed, still looking very worried. After all, Heaven's Mandate's strength was indeed relatively weak, and it was impossible for her not to be concerned.

After a while, the system spoke again: [Does my lord have any other questions?]

Xiao Han withdrew from her thoughts and shook her head.

[Then, the system will automatically unbind in ten seconds.]

"Are you going to guide other hosts?" Xiao Han asked.

[Yes, my lord. After all, this isn't the only world controlled by the Sha Qi.] The system paused, its voice taking on a hint of emotion. [It was a great pleasure working with you, my lord. Goodbye.]

A trace of a smile flashed in Xiao Han's eyes. She listened to the countdown constantly sounding in her mind, and in the last second, she suddenly said, "Thank you, goodbye."

The system, which hadn't expected a response from Xiao Han, not only received a farewell but also a thank you, was immediately so flattered it couldn't speak. But it didn't have time to speak anyway, because the countdown had ended.

Feeling the familiar energy in her mind disappear, Xiao Han stood still for a while longer before turning and walking straight into the nearby vortex.

After emerging from the world's center, Xiao Han was immediately embraced by a graceful figure. Smelling the familiar fragrance in her arms, a faint smile appeared on her expressionless face.

"Xun'er."

Xiao Han hugged Gu Xun'er back, feeling her strong heartbeat.

Gu Xun'er buried her head in Xiao Han's embrace, her voice trembling slightly, "Senior Sister, we won."

"The war is over."

Who really likes war? War that means separation, death, bloodshed, and pain?

Xiao Han looked up, gazing at the bright horizon. The sunlight, symbolizing light, poured down, as if it could shine into everyone's hearts.

"Yes, it's over."
