Depths of the Black Hole
Lou Yu's pupils contracted slightly.
Lou Yu never expected that Lu Xun would use this thod to deal with him... Black holes in the universe devour everything, and the nearest matter surrounding it that could escape the black hole's devouring—that is, those star remains—were all light-years away from him, completely exceeding the coverage range of his Domain.
The current Lou Yu was indeed very strong, so strong that he had almost no opponents in head-on combat. But as rely a Demigod, it was impossible for him to release an energy more massive than a black hole...
If he were swallowed into the black hole, whether it was his body or soul, both would fall into silence, with no possibility of rebirth ever again.
"No..."
Lou Yu gritted his teeth tightly. He imdiately activated all his power, causing his figure to rapidly expand...
It was unknown how many gatons of nuclear reactors surfaced within his body, and dazzling, scorching energy spewed from his body. Like a humanoid nuclear-powered spacecraft, he forcefully resisted the gravitational pull of the black hole and charged toward the outside!
The energy erupting from Lou Yu at this mont had already surpassed the sum of all nuclear energy in human history. If he released this power on Earth, it could sink a Realm in an instant.
And under his all-out effort, even the gravitational pull of the black hole could not bind his existence. His figure was like a raging, burning star, slowly distancing himself outside the black hole.
Right at this mont,
Lu Xun's figure, amidst the sky full of starlight, slowly suspended in front of him.
The instant Lu Xun appeared, within the range as far as the eye could see, the light of all stars shone brilliantly. The entire universe seed to beco dazzling due to his will. With this starlight blessing, his figure was like a Divine Being;
"Lu... Xun!!!"
Seeing Lu Xun wrapped in starlight appear once again, an indescribable feeling rose in Lou Yu's heart... It wasn't anger, it wasn't unwillingness, but a deep bitterness and pain.
He didn't give up because of Lu Xun's appearance, but instead roared silently, urging his own power to erupt once again. Endless energy surged from his body, and he began to crash toward Lu Xun in this starry sky at an even faster speed!
Lu Xun's pupils calmly reflected everything. Lou Yu's ferocious face rapidly magnified before his eyes, yet as if devoid of all emotion, he slowly raised his foot...
And then forcefully stomped down!
Boom——!!!
The sky full of starlight washed over like a tide, intertwining into the phantom of a cot in front of Lu Xun. The massive celestial body contained terrifying mass and kinetic energy, charging toward Lou Yu at extre speed!
Lu Xun's cot and the burning star Lou Yu had transford into violently collided in front of the black hole, the terrifying aftershocks sweeping across the void!
The cot phantom instantly exploded under Lou Yu's power, and the shock aftershocks directly flipped Lou Yu away, slapping his body that had so painstakingly been about to charge out of the black hole's gravitational range into an even deeper darkness...
Lou Yu's fragnted body infinitely spun and plumted in the black hole. He watched the sky full of stars and Lu Xun recede in his world, and those pupils gradually lost their luster.
He had sunk too deep into the black hole... Lou Yu knew that even if he went all out, he could no longer escape the black hole's gravity.
This universe had already pronounced his death sentence;
Darkness, deathly silence...
Lou Yu couldn't hear any sound. The stars in the universe spun, like glaring light dragging long tails, making people's vision blur. Here, ti and space seed to have reached their end. Everything was twisted and dim, and his cognition of ti and space was gradually being stripped away.
"Is it over..."
Lou Yu sighed softly. There was no anger or unwillingness on his face, only deep helplessness...
Everything he had experienced along the way silently flashed before his eyes, like watching a silent film fast-forwarded to the extre. From his ignorant student days, to his academic era at the research institute, then to the surging winds and clouds during the Great Cataclysm, to the slaughters and mysteries after the revival... Looking back at his entire past life, Lou Yu did not regret.
Even if he had to do it again, he would still choose this path of "insurance", even if the price of doing so was the shackles brought by six million living souls, and the eternal infamy of the world.
Of course, thinking about these now was already aningless... His "Limitless" had been terminated, and his life would also co to an end.
Fortunately...
The person who ultimately ended him was Lu Xun.
Dying by Lu Xun's hands, Lou Yu didn't have any complaints. On the contrary, he even had a trace of relief of liberation. His life was changed because of Lu Xun, and now if it ended because of him, it could be considered a perfect conclusion.
The glare of the stars was too dazzling. Lou Yu's eyes slowly closed. Just as he prepared to thoroughly sink into the black hole, a palm suddenly grabbed his collar.
Lou Yu froze, blankly opening his eyes again...
Unbeknownst to when, a familiar figure had also arrived at the depths of the black hole. His outline, illuminated by the endless glare of the stars, was sketched with a faint edge of light, full of natural Divine Nature... A pair of eyes full of starlight was quietly looking at Lou Yu.
"Just now you asked if I ca to make you pay with your life..." Lu Xun's voice rang out in Lou Yu's mind,
"My answer is... no."
"Paying a life with a life is the simplest and most direct thod, and also a way that cannot generate any benefit... You killed six million people, you bear the shackles of their souls. If you die right now, then everything will be aningless."
"Therefore, you cannot die, at least not yet..."
"Didn't you want to beco mankind's 'insurance'? Go do what you feel you should do. After you're done, use your own way to go repay the lives of those six million living souls."
Lou Yu blankly looked at Lu Xun's eyes, his entire person freezing in place.
He never expected that Lu Xun actually didn't intend to kill him, but instead chose to let him continue living... But doing this was indeed the optimal choice.
If he died now, then those six million people would be aningless deaths. What Lu Xun wanted was to let him live on wearing the shackles of a sinner, and after the dust settled on everything, then self-liquidate.
"You... believe just like that?"
Lou Yu's lips opened and closed, but he didn't emit any sound. Yet Lu Xun seed to understand his aning.
That serious face of Lu Xun, filled with an Oppressive Aura, indiscernibly curled up into a faint smile...
"I believe in the Lord of Wuji, Lou Yu."
The Lord of Wuji was also a Nine Monarch.
As his voice fell, Lu Xun's palm raised again. He reached toward the starry sky in the depths of the black hole, and a palm of nothingness seemingly from the starry sky gently clasped together with his.
"... Pick up."
A faint murmur rang out. The next mont, a power grabbed Lu Xun and Lou Yu, forcefully peeling them away from the depths of the black hole, crossing an unknown distance of light-years in the boundless starry sky, and approaching the direction of Earth!
...
Starlight streaked across Lou Yu's eyes like lines.
By the ti he returned to his senses again, familiar gravity wrapped his body once more. His dilapidated body lost support, and his entire person staggered and fell to his knees...
