Chapter 511 Tao Yao Wants to Retire
The word "eternity" is like an invisible thorn, piercing precisely into the heart of the end.
The panic and chaos that had been forcibly suppressed were instantly ignited, turning into defiance and defense.
"That's right."
The final sound carried a rigid stubbornness.
"But the end is not yet here. The world created by the goddess has only just begun to decay!"
Her explanation sounded reasonable and well-founded, but it failed to convince anyone, including herself.
“That’s no excuse.”
The eternal response is cold and direct, devoid of any emotional warmth.
She stepped forward, standing between the End and Peach Blossom, her posture as if she were protecting her most precious treasure, isolating it from the deadly source of poison.
"Your very existence is a form of erosion for her. The stronger you are, the weaker she becomes. This is the law, a law that was ordained from the moment you were born."
"What do you mean?"
The final voice suddenly rose, and the suppressed anger and grievances in those golden eyes were about to burst forth.
"Is it my fault? Is it that I shouldn't exist?"
"Isn't that right?" Eternal retorted without backing down, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze due to the invisible confrontation between the two.
The atmosphere inside the cabin was tense, and a quarrel that could tear the divine kingdom apart was about to erupt.
"All right."
A weak, yet still authoritative whisper interrupted them.
It’s Taoyao.
She leaned on the sofa, barely supporting herself, and shook her head at the two of them.
"Stop arguing."
She tried to put on her usual slightly mischievous smile, but her heavy breathing made the smile look incredibly forced.
"I'm fine...it's just that my old problem has flared up again."
She waved her hand, reassuring him in a nonchalant tone.
"Take me back to my room to rest."
"You'll be fine after a good night's sleep."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the two figures moved simultaneously.
The end and eternity appeared on either side of Tao Yao almost at the same moment, reaching out to support her.
Both of them moved very carefully, afraid of hurting her.
In mid-air, their arms were locked in a momentary stalemate, neither willing to back down.
In the end, it was Tao Yao herself who managed to break the strange stalemate by grabbing one of them with each hand.
With the luxurious assistance of two supreme fairies, Tao Yao was carefully escorted back to her bedroom and gently placed on the soft, large bed.
Watching Tao Yao lie down and cover herself with the blanket, a trace of color finally returned to her pale face, and the tense nerves of Endless and Eternal finally relaxed a little.
"Yuan Chu, you should rest well."
Yongheng gently tucked the blanket around her, his movements incredibly tender.
"I'll go catch the most suitable calamity beast right now, and have that dragon maid cook you the most nourishing soup."
"I'll go as well."
Almost the instant Eternity finished speaking, End immediately spoke, his words resolute and decisive.
The two exchanged a glance, and an invisible spark ignited in the air once again.
In the end, they turned around in unison, left the room without saying a word, and gently closed the door behind them.
outside the house.
The sea of flowers remains vibrant, and a gentle breeze carries their fragrance.
However, this beautiful scenery could not dispel the coldness and heaviness between the two.
Eternity stopped, and never looked back.
She simply gazed quietly at the floating fragments of the world in the distance, breaking the silence first.
"In the end, the original will follow in the footsteps of the goddess."
Her narration was calm, yet it seemed to state an unchangeable destiny.
"She will experience betrayal, wear and tear... and her body will deteriorate day by day."
"We should both be well aware of this matter."
Finally, he stood behind her without arguing.
"Of course I know."
Her response was equally cold.
“Primordial life is bound to the ‘existence’ of this world itself. When the world prospers, she is strong; when the world declines, she is weak. This is part of the cycle.”
She paused, seemingly organizing her thoughts, or perhaps reaffirming her conviction.
"Therefore, I can only bring about the end of this terrible world as soon as possible."
These words caused the surrounding air to freeze.
"As long as I end all of this and allow the Primordial Era to restart, she will naturally return to her healthiest and most perfect state!"
His final words revealed an almost fanatical obsession and a sense of entitlement.
This is her answer.
It was the only "redemption" she chose for Tao Yao and for this world.
“I will not allow such a thing to happen.”
Eternity finally turned around and faced the end.
"I will do what I think is right."
Her face was expressionless, but every word she spoke carried an unwavering resolve.
"As long as I can create a true eternal realm and freeze the beauty of this moment, the primordial nature will not become weaker and weaker due to the decay of the world."
"Your Eternal Realm?"
Finally, as if he had heard a joke, he chuckled.
She took a step forward, drawing closer to eternity.
"I can spare your life, forever."
Her words carried a hint of condescending arrogance.
"If you just abandon your ridiculous plan now and cooperate with me fully."
"No need."
The eternal response is simple yet resolute.
It seems the end had already anticipated this answer.
The mockery on her face deepened.
"Your eternal authority is itself empty."
She spoke slowly and deliberately, using the most ruthless language to dissect the core of the other party's power.
"You know better than anyone that you can't create true eternity, nor can you preserve beauty forever."
Finally, he raised his hand and gently brushed past a blooming flower beside him.
The flower withered and turned to ashes the moment she touched it.
Nothing in this world is permanent.
She raised her eyes, her pure golden gaze sweeping across the distant horizon at the slowly crumbling, falling fragments of the world.
"Mountains will crumble, seas will dry up, stars will fall, and even the world created by the goddess herself is now heading towards decay?"
"Even the goddess who should have existed forever no longer exists."
"So what you call eternity is nothing but self-deception."
Despite this brutal analysis, eternity remained unshaken.
She simply looked back calmly at the end, her equally cold eyes reflecting his figure.
"I will find it."
"We will definitely find it."
Her words were calm and even, yet they carried an unwavering firmness.
"It is your idea that is the most meaningless."
Eternity takes a step forward, and the surrounding sea of flowers seems to dim in that instant.
Her questioning was like a cold, sharp sword, piercing straight to the core of the eschatological concept.
Even if you bring about the end, even if you successfully restart in the end.
"But then what?"
"In the end, it will always lead to the same result, experience the same betrayal and wear and tear, and suffer the same pain."
"So, are you going to do it again then?"
"Will you drag a brand new world, and countless new lives, into the abyss of destruction?"
These words plunged the End into a brief silence.
But soon, she smiled.
It was a laugh that was both extremely calm and extremely crazy.
"So what if we do it again?"
Her rhetorical question was understated, yet it revealed a madness that could make even the gods tremble.
"As long as it's what Yuan needs, I'd destroy everything for her, not just once, but a thousand or ten thousand times."
"And isn't this the eternity you're searching for?"
"As long as I can persevere and remain consistent."
"I can guarantee that the original will not repeat the mistakes of the goddess."
This is the end.
That was her answer, the sole reason for her existence.
Yongheng looked at her and slowly shook his head.
“In that case, Yuan Chu would be unhappy.”
Her voice was soft.
"The goddess of the past would never want to see everything she built with her own hands destroyed because of you."
"The end you bring may be for a better continuation."
"But it cannot bring true happiness."
"And if tomorrow is destined to be bleak, I'd rather everything freeze in this moment."
These words finally caused a crack to appear on Zhongmo's usually calm and composed face.
However, the conflict of ideas can never be bridged by words.
The two supreme fairies could not convince each other.
The air fell silent once again.
In the end, Eternity said nothing more.
Finally, he took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice.
"Since neither of us can convince the other, let's each rely on our own abilities."
He no longer looked at her, and strode past Eternity, his figure gradually merging into the distant shadows and chaos.
Eternity remains in place, standing quietly amidst the sea of flowers, like an unchanging statue.
The wind blows, and the fragrance of flowers remains.
It was as if the confrontation that had just occurred, one that could have determined the fate of the world, had never happened.
……
Inside the cabin.
Warm and tranquil.
Lying on the soft bed, Tao Yao slowly opened her eyes.
She didn't look out the window, nor did she try to understand the two "children" who had already gone their separate ways.
She was just a little tired, and called out softly to the empty room.
"Little."
As soon as the words were spoken, a soft halo appeared out of thin air, and a tiny, bouncy, and adorable sprite, about the size of a palm, popped out of the halo and twirled in mid-air.
【Master, is there something you need from Xiaoxiao?】
Its sound is crisp, melodious, and full of vitality.
Tao Yao looked at it, her originally lazy expression turning into one of dissatisfaction.
"Didn't we agree that you would block out those uncomfortable reactions for me?"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but cough twice more.
"Why am I still... cough cough..."
Upon seeing her cough, the little elf panicked instantly, and the light around her began to flicker erratically.
[I...I don't know either!]
[Logically, the shielding module should be functioning normally!]
Seeing its helpless look, Tao Yao complained in annoyance.
"You really are useless."
This statement was clearly a huge blow to Xiaowei.
【Woo...】
It let out a pitiful whimper, then immediately perked up.
【Please give me a few minutes, Master! I'll check the system to see where the problem lies...】
After speaking, her small body hovered in mid-air, she closed her eyes, and began a rapid self-examination.
The room fell silent again.
Tao Yao felt that the persistent weakness in her body had become even heavier.
soon.
Xiao Xiao suddenly opened her eyes.
【Master, I've figured it out!】
Her voice carried a hint of realization, as well as an undisguised solemnity.
[You could block it before because your fusion with the Primal Flower wasn't deep enough at that time.]
But now, as time goes by, you're getting closer and closer to becoming a true goddess.
Therefore, previous shielding methods are no longer able to completely isolate you from the effects of the world's decline, and you can now clearly feel physical discomfort.
After hearing this explanation, Tao Yao fell silent.
After a moment, she asked the most direct question in a very calm tone.
"According to you, if I do nothing..."
"Is it really possible that I might die?"
Xiao Xiao didn't answer immediately, seemingly organizing her thoughts.
【Yes Master. 】
Ultimately, it gave an affirmative answer.
You are essentially the origin of all fairies, and fairies are the most powerful species in this world.
They possess not only unparalleled power, but also near-eternal life.
Everything has a price.
As more and more fairies awaken, their power grows stronger. As the origin of all things, the price and wear and tear you must bear will naturally increase.
These words were tantamount to a death sentence.
However, there was no trace of panic or fear on Tao Yao's face.
She just listened quietly.
Little Xiao seemed to have gotten used to her owner's calmness and continued to add.
But don't worry, Master!
The primordial fairy was just a primordial fairy, but not a true goddess.
[And you haven't reached the point of being irretrievably irrevocably in love with a goddess yet.]
Now, all you need to do is gain enough popularity points, complete your final transformation, become a true goddess, and gain full control over the creation of the goddess realm. Then, you can modify some underlying settings of the fairy world and related fairy elements, and you'll no longer need to worry about such things.
"Popularity score..."
Tao Yao repeated the sentence in a low voice, then slowly closed her eyes, as if she was thinking about something.
A long silence fell over the room.
I do not know how long it has been.
When she opened her eyes again, the weariness in her peach blossom eyes was gone, replaced by her usual unfathomable composure.
"Little."
"Let's get ready and begin setting up the 4.0 major version."
Upon hearing this instruction, Xiao Xiao showed no surprise whatsoever, as if she had expected it all along.
Okay! Little one is ready to go anytime!
Its voice was full of energy.
Everything seemed to have settled down, and a new plan was about to begin.
However, at this moment.
Tao Yao spoke again.
She stared at the ceiling, as if talking to herself, or perhaps asking a question.
"And, Little One."
"This version, if I can fulfill the mission left to me by the goddess."
She paused, then spoke softly, in a tone that carried a hint of uncertainty and negotiation:
"So tell me, isn't it time for me to retire?"
