Chapter 300

Sasa's Great Victory!

"Don't push your luck, I already have a wife."

"Ha! We angels don't care about that!"

Qi Xing let go of her face, but Sasa was already holding her hands high, intoxicated by her great victory, oblivious to the world around her.

"The little nun is going to heaven someday anyway. And as for us, we'll be together for a long, long, lo~ng time, until we've saved all the sentient beings in this entire universe, until we've cleared out this hellish world!"

"You saying that makes me start to regret this already."

Qi Xing couldn't help but sigh when he heard this. But this was his own choice. He chose this because he cared about this silly Sasa, and because he cared about the fate of all sentient beings in this world. There was nothing to complain about.

"And you said you would satisfy my desires, right? That means including lust, right? Oh my, I'm slowly going to be dyed in Qi Xing's colors~"

…Sure enough, I should give her a lesson later.

Back to that unfortunate White God.

She watched this farce with a blank stare, and the look she gave Qi Xing even carried a hint of fear: Could it be that Venerable Leipu really possessed such great power that he actually intended to satisfy all of Samael's desires and destroy the shadow of desire formed by her countless years of sexual repression?

What on earth does Venerable Leipu intend to use to save the world?!

[ …Even if you could really satisfy Samael, it's impossible to satisfy all the desires of all sentient beings… ]

Before she could finish, a look of panic suddenly flashed across White God's face—could it be that Venerable Leipu really intended to "Rep" all of humanity with his own divine power, and fill all of humanity's desires himself? He couldn't be that crazy, right?!

This White God was indeed created from Sasa's desires; the moment she saw desire, she immediately thought of cross-breeding. Her imagination could only make such leaps in this regard.

"Of course that's impossible. Where is your mind wandering?"

Fortunately, Qi Xing couldn't be bothered to pay attention to her wild fantasies.

"Satisfying the desires of sentient beings is, in the end, only a means to let them realize the truth, witness their true selves, and attain freedom. It is not the purpose."

"Watch closely, White God. Since this is an [Atheistic] universe, I will let all sentient beings break free from the shackles of the foolish Creator God and let everyone obtain absolute freedom."

"The Son of Satan is the Son of Freedom. I will create a free world for the free people."

How could this be possible?

White God could not understand this crazy talk from Qi Xing at all.

To a greater or lesser extent, every human being was bound.

Two thousand years ago, humanity was constantly dominated and controlled by the evil god Sasa, serving as test subjects for her to create [Supermen].

Even after Sasa was defeated and sealed by Jesus, humanity could never escape the bonds of lineage, environment, talent, and various other factors.

Only by entangling all those things together could human society be formed. From the moment humans were born into the world, they already possessed too many shackles that they couldn't cast off even if they wanted to.

A child cannot choose their parents before being born.

A person cannot choose their family background before being born.

Humans can only choose from a few pre-existing limitations.

"Complete freedom" was merely a fantasy existing only in concept.

Qi Xing understood this very well. Having been a son of the Nie Family in this life, and having seen too many similar examples, he especially understood how terrifying such things were.

But since he had made up his mind, he would definitely do it, regardless of all these trivial matters.

"Lie on the ground and watch, White God. Then rest assured and dissipate."

He sat on the black Throne of God. It was very hard and quite cold.

"Not very comfortable."

"I heard my dad say that a throne shouldn't be comfortable."

Sasa said with a serious face.

Qi Xing couldn't be bothered to retort, so he picked her up and sat her on his lap. Sasa was slightly startled but immediately happily let her halo rotate.

"Let's begin, Sasa, to create a new world."

The two of them gripped the [World] card together. Sasa spoke, replacing the damaged cosmic music box, and began to sing a new grand movement.

"Infinite overflow, vast as the ocean."

"Only the light remaining at the bottom of the sea is the eternal and unchanging thing."

"I beseech this wish to reach the heavens and be fulfilled."

"Free people and a free world, sought herein."

"Light is conceived in the darkness of survival, light guides the sacred true knowledge."

"May the good, though driven by desire, eventually realize the correct path."

"All impermanent things are but illusions."

"Those who are incapable, achieve it here."

"Everything that cannot be named, is completed here."

"Eternal maiden, lead us to ascend!"

"Listen, sentient beings!"

"I will teach you the method to become a Superman!"

"Let the strong shoulder the fate of the strong,"

"Let the weak raise their heads in life!"

Sasa's singing overflowed, light overflowed, and the streaming light flowed like water from the throne at the very bottom of the universe, painting the entire universe.

Everyone, not just everyone on Earth now—but those of the past and present, everyone who had ever been born in Sasa's universe and had not been taken away by the [King of Hell], heard Qi Xing's voice at this moment.

Every person in every era, in every place, heard him say:

"Listen well, sentient beings."

"I am now going to create a world for everyone, a universe of the same scale as the current one, and gift it to each of you."

"In your own world, anyone can become their own god. Whatever you want to do can be realized in your own world."

"Those who don't want it can refuse and stay in the original world, but you cannot refuse on behalf of others."

"If anyone wants to fundamentally stop this, that is also fine."

At this point, Qi Xing finally couldn't help but laugh.

"—Heroes and warriors, come ahead. Try to defeat me."

Volume 8: Free People and the Free World: 280: Space-Time Warriors (Live A Live)

Having conquered the evil god—the creator of this universe, defeated all the Demon Kings, and even triumphed over the Outer God [King of Hell], the Superman who turned the impossible into the possible.

The voice of the Super Demon King, the Hegemonic God, [Venerable Leipu] spread across every space and time in the universe. All the people living in all times heard the voice of the Hegemonic God.

…Many people heard it, and after a moment of stunned silence, their first reaction was to immediately shout: "Hurry and send me in! I've had enough of this rotten world!"

Sigh, this is also quite normal, right?

After all, this world is indeed quite rotten.

Although textbooks praise the progress of civilization, although the news broadcasts the prosperity of the golden age, although the vested interests are always raising glasses to praise the beauty of life… but it cannot be denied that for most people, living itself is a long and hopeless punishment.

Not to mention the collapse of modern social order after the moon shattered. Even before the Great Collapse, in a normal society—

—Look at that thirty-four-year-old employee working overtime until nine o'clock, looking at the brilliant lights outside the window, the sourness of cheap coffee churning in their stomach, with nothing in their heart but the fear of sudden death and the anxiety of unemployment.

Look at that child who is still doing homework at midnight, with endless practice tests, looking blankly out the window, not understanding when they will ever be liberated—Gaokao? University graduation? Graduate school? Retirement at sixty-something?

Relying purely on obeying the law and working hard to get rich, finally marrying a wealthy and beautiful partner, getting promoted and a salary increase to reach the peak of one's career, and becoming a winner in life is harder to achieve than meeting aliens, the recovery of spiritual energy on Earth, dying and being resurrected to travel to a parallel universe, and so on and so forth.

Soldiers whose legs were blown off on the battlefield, workers whose fingers were cut off on the assembly line, husbands and fathers who don't have money to treat their wives and children for cancer—people like this, all struggling, striving, and lonely like dust in the corners, living in the shackles of reality, living in the pain of having no choice.

Every morning when they wake up, they have to grind away their souls bit by bit in this huge meat grinder.

And this is just part of modern society. Compared to the ancient people who scratched for food in the yellow earth and had no clothes to cover their bodies, modern people are still considered better off.

Therefore, when the voice of [Venerable Leipu] rang out not just in modern times, but in the ears of people in all time and space,

When the opportunity to truly "do as one pleases," to truly "be one's own master," and to truly escape all this suffering was placed before them—

Who would still care whether that was a god or a demon?

In just an instant, not even a second, the originally crowded and noisy Earth suddenly became empty.

The pain that had been suppressed for thousands and tens of thousands of years finally found an outlet.

In every space-time, billions and tens of billions of people seemed to have evaporated from the human world. They didn't hesitate, they didn't have any lingering attachment, and they scrambled and couldn't wait to drill into the new world that Qi Xing had given them, to go to the wine-pool and meat-forest, to become gods and ancestors, to enjoy that absolute freedom.

—Damn it! To actually surrender so easily to the temptation of the Great Demon King, how unreasonable?!

So, naturally,

After the carnival-like "Great Escape," in this empty and desolate old universe, a small group of brave heroes still remained.

From the primitive warriors of the ancient Stone Age to the chivalrous knights of the Dark Middle Ages,

From the gunslingers of the desolate American West to the martial arts heroes of the 20th century,

There were even fierce generals of the Warring States period, ninjas of the Bakumatsu period, and Magical Girls in modern cities…

They were partners of justice, hot-blooded heroes, gathering here across the torrent of time!

They wanted to resist the Great Demon King on the throne, crusade against the Hegemonic God who bewitched all sentient beings, and turn the universe back to what it was!

…

Actually, Qi Xing could have completely ignored them. Anyway, those without a [silver coin] couldn't enter the universe's backend at all. If Jesus hadn't come down to interfere, silly Sasa's suppression of her own universe was indeed absolute. Sentient beings couldn't resist at all, and couldn't even realize they could resist.

But that would be meaningless.

So, Qi Xing still let Sasa open a convenient channel for them—he even thoughtfully sent portals to the opponents of every time and space, allowing them to teleport directly to the universe's backend and gather together.

…However, as soon as these hot-blooded heroes teleported over, the scene before them left them dumbfounded.

Under the pitch-black sky, a huge black Gothic castle stood on a lonely mountain peak. There was no army lined up and ready to go at the castle gate, but a long, winding line of at least several hundred protesters.

At the very front of the line, there was a silver-haired nun moving a small table, calmly giving a number tag to every angry hero and warrior…

"Please line up, do not cut in line. Next, number 587."

The other heroes looked at each other, but among the seven warriors, the Magical Girl was shocked to see this scene: "Miss Elaine?!"

Elaine, who was handing out number tags to the challengers, turned her head when she heard the voice, and was somewhat surprised: "Magical Girl Artemina?! What are you doing here too?"

One of these seven warriors was none other than Magical Girl Artemina (real name: Tsukimiya Ran), who had a deep connection with Qi Xing and the others.

"I, I am here to stop [Rep-Man]!"

Despite being filled with fear, Artemina still said bravely,

"I know [Rep-Man] must want to make the world a better place—but even so, this kind of Infinite Tsukuyomi-like thing is absolutely wrong! It must not be done!"

So she traveled through time and space, risking her life to come to the throne, just to wake up the hero who had saved her many times. Young as she was, she indeed had great aspirations. Very orthodox children's anime values.

"But this isn't Infinite Tsukuyomi either."

Elaine sighed, but didn't say much,

"Well, go inside and talk to Qi Xing."

Some things must be discussed face-to-face in order to have a chance at mutual understanding.

She gave Artemina and her team of heroes a tag numbered over 600, though they didn't actually wait too long. After the previous hundreds of challengers walked through the castle gate, they disappeared like smoke—for the current Qi Xing, "time" was just a progress bar that could be adjusted at will. Not to mention going in one second and having the "persuasion" finished the next, he could even open hundreds of rooms at the same time.

Soon it was their turn in line. The seven warriors gripped their respective weapons—bone clubs, holy swords, pistols, ninja swords, magic bows—pushed open the heavy door leading to the ultimate end of the universe, and rushed into the throne hall!

"We are here to stop you, Great Demon King [Venerable Leipu]!"

However, the next second, the scene before their eyes left all the heroes instantly stunned, their brains short-circuiting.

Because at the end of the hall, on that black throne symbolizing the supreme power of the entire universe—[Venerable Leipu] was indeed sitting there comfortably.

It's just that there was someone else sitting on him.

"Ahehehe~"

A black-winged, long-haired girl with a black halo rotating above her head, that gorgeous dark creator, the beautiful source of all evil,
