"He is indeed a [Ying Jie]."
"……I see."
Mei Raiden nodded, and then walked into the deep sea.
Everyone's attention shifted to the observation window at the side, watching the blurry figure of Raiden Mei gradually approaching him.
Gollum—
Some bubbles floated up and soon disappeared. The heavy water pressure of the deep sea was oppressing her body, but... fortunately, the body of the Herrscher allowed Raiden Mei to resist enough.
Continue to move forward and get closer to him, and when the distance is close enough... the pink crystal flower in his arms blooms with a stronger light, and Raiden Mei also senses it, it comes from his power.
She did not resist, but let the water carry her away, and her spirit followed the pink light and continued to move forward under its guidance. In the blink of an eye, she arrived at another space.
The sky here is light pink, and from time to time some pink and white petals fall. Judging from the fragrance, they seem to be cherry blossoms and lilies...Under your feet is the endless ocean, as calm as a mirror, without the slightest ripples.
Other than that, there were only...candy wrappers scattered everywhere.
There were candy wrappers everywhere, leaving Mei Raiden with almost no place to stand. She could only step on the numerous candy wrappers and move forward following the mysterious induction.
After a while, a faint sweet smell rushed into his nose, and Raiden Mei also saw him.
"…Sakura? Alicia?"
He seemed to have eaten another candy, threw the candy wrapper aside, turned around, and looked at the person who came with his almost blurred golden pupils.
“…I’m sorry, but I’m not them.”
"Ah... it's you... [Herrser]..."
Xi Wang shook his head and spoke softly.
"I'm sorry, I wasn't fully conscious... You smell like them, I'm sorry I mistook you for the wrong person."
"...Your attitude is a little different from what I expected."
"Why? You prefer my attitude in [Paradise]?"
"That's not..."
"That's okay."
Xi Wang's pupils became a little more solid and his speech became much clearer.
"...Since you are here, it means Kevin and the others are ready to attack me."
"That's not bad, and... at least your current situation can prove that you, the new generation... have not let down Alicia."
"You too, Mr. Xiwang... No, you are the [Yingjie] who holds the name of [Revelation]."
"...I said I don't like this title, and...how can a being who uses the code name of [Herrserker] to be called [Heroic] be worthy of being called a [Heroic] of mankind?"
"But your persistence and acquiescence have indeed allowed our civilization to continue to this day. This is an indisputable fact."
Mei Raiden said seriously.
"We are all very grateful to you, including Kevin and Wei Li. It is your persistence that delayed the end of the world. It is your acquiescence that allowed Miss Wei Li's research to proceed smoothly, and finally led to this situation."
"Humph, you talk nicely, but in the end, won't you still attack me?"
"........."
"Alright... you've been talking too much nonsense, Herrscher."
Xi Wang lowered his eyes slightly, and with a wave of his hand, the azure blue water quietly surged, bringing a dark and strange sword into his hand.
"Be prepared, people of the new generation, Herrschers."
tick-
It's the sound of raindrops falling.
He placed the sword against his shoulder, and the blade lightly touched the broken [ring pattern] on his neck, which had faded to the point of almost disappearing.
He smiled, as if relieved, as if crazy, but more... relaxed and expectant.
"The Hunt is about to begin."
Snap——
The [Ring Mark] on his neck...completely shattered and disappeared.
He also swung his sword and cut off his head, letting his body fall down, letting the dark blue "blood" flow, letting the water... carry his remaining body into the abyss.
In a trance, Mei Raiden returned to the lightless deep sea.
Looking closely, I found that his originally closed eyelids were trembling slightly, and his folded wings showed signs of opening. Even the surrounding sea water began to rejoice, exuding a distinct emotion called happiness.
He's going to wake up.
Mei Raiden didn't care about anything else and quickly returned to the cabin, but before they could take any further action, the entire ocean began to riot, driving them to "swim" upwards together.
tick-
The sky was still clear, but the rain fell silently, and on the surface of the planet, azure "lines" quietly appeared and covered.
Woo——woo——
The trumpets sounded one after another, and in a moment the number reached seven.
The sea water rose, the rain fell, the pure white wings spread out along the holy light, the [Ring] that showed the identity appeared above the head, the refreshing fragrance of lilies filled the air, and countless Honkai beasts celebrated to their heart's content.
At this moment, he stood on the calm sea, slowly and gently flapped his wings and flew into the air.
The golden, star-like pupils opened, distracted and lifeless.
With a casual move, the dark, strange sword was carried by the flowing water and fell into his hands.
The air became humid, and the flowing wind was also carrying the unique smell of sea water.
"........."
He shifted his gaze to look at the people who were already prepared, and raised his hand to summon huge waves and Honkai beasts as numerous as the sea.
Come on, let’s start the final...【hunt】!
…………
………………
Then, [time] stopped here.
--------
[So...are you satisfied with the ending this time? ]
Are you kidding me? How can I be satisfied?!
[In that case...then continue until you reach the ending you expect and that you are satisfied with]
[As for this unsatisfactory story... let's leave it for now]
Thus, the stagnant [time] began to flow... [time] was still moving forward, but all existing things were moving backwards, as if played in reverse, everything was moving towards a [reference point], tracing back towards it.
However, during this process, bits of starlight gradually appeared, and then were peeled off, turning into a piece of paper covered with unique words, and then... silently sank into his body.
[Entry: Record, effective]
[Anyway, welcome to... a new "day"]
Chapter 4144 Anyway, welcome to the start of a new "day" ()
[Ending: The trumpet of the apocalypse has been achieved]
[Entry: Record, effective]
[Anyway, welcome to... a new "day"]

rustle……
It seemed to be the sound of turning pages, but this time the speed was a little faster, as if the "story" that was just read was boring and made people want to turn the page quickly.
"Pfft...cough cough cough..."
The strong urge to vomit and the feeling that his head was about to explode due to the numerous memories made Xi Wang lie down on the side and retch. It took him a long rest to adjust his state.
"I (expletive)…what was that? I'm back?"
After carefully checking himself, he found that his body was still that of a child, with no scars or special marks on his body, and he didn't seem to have any special sensitivity to water...
"Okay, okay, I'm fine."
Xi Wang huddled into a corner with lingering fear and began to adjust his breathing and calm himself.
"What was that just now? Did I live my whole life again? Or did the memories of a parallel world come to me? No, no, no... I should have walked out, but I have no recollection of what happened after I walked out... So it really is a [Life Simulator]? And I came to the [Houkai] world, right... Or the pre-civilization... It's really terrible."
Xi Wang put his hand on his lips, curled up his body, stared straight ahead with a frown, and whispered quickly to himself to ease his mood.
"How did I become the Herrscher of the End... What is this... Wasn't the previous simulation too bad?"
Having said that, Xi Wang paused for a moment.
"It's a simulation...right?"
If that really happened...that's too bad, how could I become like that?!
"No, no, no...it's a simulation. Just treat it as a simulation. After all, I'm back now, which means nothing happened!"
With a casual pull, he checked this [plug-in] that belonged to him again and confirmed the format.
"Yes, that's right! According to this layout style, it must be [Life Simulator]! That's right!"
Xiwang convinced himself this.
"But this ending is too bad... [The Trumpet of Revelation], so it's the trumpet of doom, right? And [Gabriel]... It's destined that [Gabriel] will blow the trumpet of doom, right?"
Xi Wang looked at the last line on the [Event Board] that represented [Ending] and was speechless for a moment.
"Also... the [Record] entry is working normally, but the other one... is still not working."
Xiwang thought for a while, and then noticed that something seemed to pop up on the [Event Board] again... It seemed to be... [Achievements]?
………………
[In this future, you have achieved the following]
[Wait and have hope]: You have not been defeated by suffering, and no amount of pain can overwhelm your spirit... Keep waiting with hope, and salvation will surely come.
