Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
Xi Wei had originally intended to completely eliminate Subspaces filled with negative energy like the Abyss and Hell. However, he soon realized this was unrealistic. As the Highest Heaven, he couldn’t possibly turn all life in the Cain World into saints—besides, absolute saints didn’t exist. As long as life existed, negative emotions would inevitably arise.
Under the rules of the Cain World, if these negative energies weren’t dealt with promptly, the Prime Material Plane would eventually descend into chaos. Therefore, instead of blocking, he had to channel. Xi Wei could only rebuild the Abyss that he had just destroyed.
However, to prevent Hell from going down the same path as the Abyss in the future, he had to set up a contingency plan to remain vigilant in Hell at all times.
“Master, what’s wrong?”
Loli saw Xi Wei deep in thought, gazing at the clouds below, and stepped forward to ask.
“You are now the Goddess of Life, you don’t need to call me Master anymore,” Xi Wei said with a smile. “I was just thinking about how to arrange the situation in Hell. After all, if this isn’t handled properly, it’s a ticking time bomb. If we want to leave this world in the future, we might not be at ease.”
“Even if I am the Goddess of Life, it doesn’t change the fact that I am your personal Maid.” Loli didn’t care about such formalities. She hugged Xi Wei’s arm and snuggled into his embrace, a moment later tilting her pretty face, flushed red. “Do you have a solution then?”
“Do you still remember the Illusion Prism?”
“I remember. It’s that thing that creates Dungeons for Players.”
Loli was now quite adept with those strange terms from the past.
“I plan to pull out an illusion from it to be my clone and place it in Hell as an informant,” Xi Wei narrowed his eyes. “Once something happens in Hell that the Divine Realm cannot resolve, he will step in.”
“But Master, there aren’t any Evil Gods in Hell right now, and there are already so many Gods in the Divine Realm. Will Hell really surpass the Divine Realm in the future?”
“That’s hard to say.”
As they spoke, Xi Wei had already pulled the illusion out of the Illusion Prism. His current Strength was already capable of easily doing what the System could do. Manifesting an illusion from the prism was nothing.
“From today onwards, you are Lucifer, the strongest Evil God in Hell. Your Divine Duty is Arrogance. In reality, you are my informant in Hell, and you will possess part of my Strength.”
Xi Wei reached out and touched the center of the illusion’s forehead.
This semi-transparent illusion suddenly seemed to come alive, its features becoming distinct. His features gradually formed, resembling Xi Wei’s but with his own unique characteristics. Pale white, long hair cascaded down to his waist, and three pairs of ash-black wings sprouted from his back.
“Master.” Lucifer knelt on one knee.
The moment he gained a soul and life, he already knew his mission.
“Hell is entrusted to you to guard. But before that, let me see your future growth trajectory!”
Fate was the most unfathomable thing.
The true dimensional level of fate had risen to a point where it was difficult for Xi Wei to control. Just as he, as the Highest Heaven, could not predict his own future because he was within the dimension itself—unless he transcended it.
However, Lucifer was ‘born’ from him and would live in the Cain World. Therefore, Xi Wei could see much of Lucifer’s fate.
A faint light flickered in his eyes.
They met Lucifer’s gaze, a fleeting moment.
Then, it gradually extinguished.
“Interesting.” Xi Wei’s lips curved into a slight smile. “This Evil God of Hell will indeed not stay honestly in Hell… Lucifer, in the future, a light-element Half-God named Paster Noleggi will come to seal you. Pretend to put up a fight, let her seal you, and when all the restless Evil Gods of Hell surface, take them all down in one go!”
“I shall abide by your command.”
Lucifer didn’t know what Xi Wei was planning.
But since he had said so, he would wait patiently for that day to arrive.
“Then, I shall take my leave.”
With that said, Lucifer’s figure transformed into a black cloud and descended towards Hell. However, everyone’s attention was focused on the wedding, and only a few people noticed this.
“Master, why didn’t you just have Lucifer restrain those Evil Gods directly?”
“Where’s the fun in that?” Xi Wei stroked Loli’s head, holding the Little Maid’s hand, and returned to the Shrine with Ruo Yi and the others. As he walked, he said:
“The Divine Realm cannot remain so peaceful either. After all, we ultimately have to transcend the Divine Realm and the Cain World. If the Divine Realm has no natural enemies and no pressure, they will eventually decay and decline. Rather than watching the Divine Realm decline, it’s better to give them a ticking time bomb they can stop at any time.”
Loli nodded, half-understanding.
She had a feeling something was not quite right, because Xi Wei’s mischievous smile had too strong a sense of déjà vu, making it difficult for her to connect his seemingly serious reasoning with the truth.
“Cough, cough, let’s not talk about that. Although the Cain Will has vanished, a new World Will has been born.”
Xi Wei led everyone back to the Divine King’s Hall and pulled open a void. Inside lay a swaddling blanket woven from countless golden feathers, within which slept a delicately carved infant.
Tiny points of starlight emanated from her body.
The trajectories of stars even traced across her skin.
“Wow, so cute! Is this the new World Will?” Ruo Yi couldn’t help but reach out and poke the World Will’s cheek. It felt warm and Q-彈 to the touch, and her lips curved upward instantly, a sudden urge to have a daughter forming within her.
“I thought a newly born World Will would be a ball,” Bai Yao said, stroking her chin, her face full of curiosity. She wanted to reach out and touch it like Ruo Yi, but felt it might be disrespectful.
“It was originally a ball. But when the Cain Will vanished, it used its final Strength to accelerate the birth progress of the new World Will.”
Xi Wei gazed gently at the infant in the swaddling blanket and said to his wives around him, “The name of the World Will is also a form of coordinate. Cain is gone, and the new World Will needs a new name to avoid being targeted by the Old Ones again.”
“I’m terrible at naming things,” Xi Wei spread his hands and said bluntly, “If you don’t want me to name the new World Will something like Dog Egg, Big Yellow, or Little White, then you better start thinking… after all, you are all half-moms to the World Will.”
“A new name…”
Loli held the World Will’s hand and murmured to herself.
“Her growth is inseparable from the contribution of the Cain Will. Although we must avoid the coordinate, let’s leave a trace as a memento… After all, isn’t the cruelest thing to forget?”
“How about Radiant Divine World?” Bai Yao suggested.
“A name like that sounds like the name of a continent in some third-rate novel,” Bai Yao’s good friend, You Ye, was the first to object. “I think Spirit Cat World sounds good.”
“Hey!” Bai Yao reached out to tickle You Ye’s armpit, angered, “You’re too biased!”
*Crack—*
At that moment, a bolt of golden lightning streaked across the transparent dome of the Divine King’s Hall.
Loli looked up at the sky, and inspiration struck her. She playfully poked the World Will’s little nose and said with a smile, “How about Reign Will?”
“Then this world will be called the Reign World from now on? That’s good!” Ruo Yi nodded. “This way, it won’t be an anchor point for the Old Ones, and it can also commemorate the departed Cain World.”
But the most important thing was the World Will’s own opinion.
The little one in the swaddling blanket seemed to have heard everyone’s words. Although her eyes were still closed and she was sleeping soundly, a naive and lovable smile appeared on her lips.
Seeing this, Xi Wei decisively made the final decision.
“From now on, she shall be called Reign Will!”
