Liu Shuying's face took on a crazed expression as he grabbed my sword-bearing right wrist. The Current World Divine Seal operated at full force, trying to suppress the erupting flames back.

However, he was powerless to reverse the tide. These flames burst directly from within Liu Shuying, and even though the Current World Divine Seal possessed power equivalent to the Doomsday Divine Seal, it could only maintain a stalemate at most. The body and soul that served as the battlefield were inevitably damaged.

Even a container fortified by the power of the Current World Divine Seal couldn't withstand the intense internal conflict akin to splitting the heavens and earth. Liu Shuying's entire body shattered inch by inch, his face cracking like porcelain unable to withstand pressure. Orange flames spewed from the cracks, and Liu Shuying's expression grew increasingly ferocious.

"Zhuang Cheng——!!!" he roared my name.

Then, his body and soul could no longer hold on, exploding from within, transforming into a shockwave powerful enough to tear Earth apart, sweeping through everything.

Yet in this vast, boundless, and empty cosmic darkness, it was nothing more than the fleeting extinguishment of a minor bubble.

Finally, all returned to tranquility.

"...It's over," Little Bowl whispered.

At the place where Liu Shuying perished, the Current World Divine Seal floated quietly. I reached out my hand, and with a thought, the white divine seal disc slowly approached, landing in my palm.

I then scanned the surroundings, meticulously ensuring Liu Shuying's death, confirming that he was not pretending to be dead but truly deceased. The result was self-evident: with the Current World Divine Seal in my hand, Liu Shuying couldn't possibly be alive or deceive my eyes. This battle was our victory.

The Doomsday Divine Seal suddenly emitted a faint grey mist, gathering independently beside me, forming a familiar human figure.

Tai Sui's illusory figure appeared before me, gazing with desolation at the spot where Liu Shuying died.

Tai Sui was still alive... no, he was already dead.

Bereft of the stance of the Master of the Doomsday Divine Seal, he could no longer rely on a divine seal to maintain his consciousness. Yet as Great Impermanence in life, despite being incompatible with power, the quality of his soul was untainted, meaning even in dissolution it underwent a certain process.

During my fierce battle with Liu Shuying, the Doomsday Divine Seal operated at full power, suppressing Tai Sui so thoroughly he couldn't speak a word. Now with the battle ended, the suppression lifted, allowing him to manifest before complete disappearance.

His blurry, fragmented figure was disintegrating from the edges, visibly about to vanish.

"I ultimately failed to achieve my wish..." he uttered, dazed.

"We are the victors. Although it's often said 'a man's dying words are good', we have the power to choose whether to listen. If you're planning to say something sarcastic to us in your final moments, we'll have no part in it," I said.

Tai Sui absent-mindedly nodded, seemingly unconcerned about his gradually dissipating soul, his gaze fixed on that place. Tai Sui, having personally witnessed my transformation and my decision to cede the position of Master of the Doomsday Divine Seal to Little Bowl, perhaps already had the answer as to why Liu Shuying's true will, imprinted in the New World as a form of divine seal power, would favor me more.

In betraying his mentor for the dream world, Liu Shuying might represent another possibility of mine, the possibility of clashing with Mazao for the sake of doomsday.

In his final moment of disappearance, Tai Sui asked, "Did he actually... have some regrets?"

"Only he can answer that," I said, "but he'd certainly never admit to regretting."

"Is that so..." Tai Sui slowly closed his eyes, "...Thank you, Zhuang Cheng."

He vanished completely.

Tai Sui, death.

I turned my head to look into the distance again.

The Earth had already become unrecognizable, and the shattered parts that had been sent into outer space by Liu Shuying's strike were still in the process of escaping the Earth's gravitational pull. Observing things on a planetary scale from a human's time perspective, any change is extremely slow.

From an outer space perspective, the seemingly unmoving Earth's rotation is actually happening at a speed faster than sound travels through the atmosphere. Even moving at a thousand times the speed of sound, it would still take about twenty minutes to reach the Moon from Earth. From the start to the end of the battle between me and Liu Shuying, although we experienced thousands of super-speed attacks, objectively, not much time had passed.

It was like smashing a cup as a signal, with all conflicts being completed in the time it took for the cup fragments to bounce up and fall back to the ground.

Now, I needed to restore the shattered cup to its original form.

I returned to the tattered Earth and, to be cautious, decided to temporarily set aside the fusion of the Doomsday Divine Seal and the Current World Divine Seal to prevent unpredictable accidents, such as "the Complete Divine Seal being not so easy to repair, and even potentially affecting the functionalities of both the Doomsday Divine Seal and the Current World Divine Seal in the event of failure." I first initiated the Power of Return.

Under the enhancement of the Doomsday Divine Seal, the Power of Return not only covered the surface and interior of the Earth, but also extended into cosmic space, capturing all Earth's mass that hadn't yet escaped too far.

Like a broken cup being restored to its intact form under the effect of a time rewind, numerous massive planet fragments returned at a speed a hundred times faster than their escape trajectory, embedding themselves peacefully into their original holes and gaps instead of causing impacts and explosions upon landing.

The scorching lava and toxic gases flowing on the ground burrowed back into the volcanoes and rifts like animals returning to their nests. The cracked Earth, like mouths closing, swallowed its "vomit" and disappeared.

The evaporated and dried Arctic Ocean was restored, the sea level rose to its original position, and the explosively airborne Antarctic Continent descended back. Moreover, the various continental plates shattered during this period's battles involving Shan Liangyi, Old Fist God, and myself were also repaired.

Forests and various plants that were utterly destroyed began to regrow, and swathes of extinct animals reappeared. Numerous destroyed towns and villages were restored in the blink of an eye, along with the resurrection of the dead, who were bewildered and amazed.

However, the strange entities lurking and causing destruction around the world, those eliminated during the disaster did not return, and those that survived on the Earth turned into Purgatory also vanished to dust under the Power of Return. This was initially a task that the planet's natural will hoped Mazao would accomplish, but I tackled it first.

The most crucial parts, to repair human history and eliminate Doomsday, still required the fully repaired Divine Seal. According to Little Bowl's plan, this aspect must be executed personally by Mazao.

The surface repair was completed in a single breath. From outer space, the Earth looked like it had returned to its vibrant blue-green state. However, as mentioned before, the surface compared to the entirety of Earth is marginally trivial, with the entire crust's structure occupying less than one percent of Earth's mass. Liu Shuying's strike, depending on how it's used, could even potentially disintegrate the whole Earth.

Just as a bullet's most destructive mode isn't piercing through, but lodging inside to cause maximum harm to body tissues, Liu Shuying's massive piercing hole in the Earth paradoxically avoided the most troublesome scenario. Even so, it added a significant workload to my repair process. Some say destruction is always easier than restoration; he was satisfied in his destruction, while my task of restoration became arduous.

To avoid the remnants of destruction from resulting in new major volcanic eruptions and super earthquakes in the future, I spent far more time than for surface repairs to finally complete all planetary repair work.

After finishing all this, I returned to Saltwater City, arriving at the area set for the Teleportation Door's reconstruction. Weichi was also waiting here, and upon seeing me, he sighed in relief.

By the way, Weichi didn't die this time. Although the Great Success Rank seems weak in my heart, as long as he wasn't directly involved in my battlefield, he could survive a Doomsday disaster on a bio-extinction level like this one since the Great Success Rank is capable of enduring under such conditions.

However, the ordinary citizens of this city weren't so fortunate. Previously, experiencing Shan Liangyi's destruction and my revival was sudden enough to be considered under the category of a destruction that arrived too quickly for a reaction. Now, they had personally experienced the genuine end of their ecological system and were inexplicably resurrected by me, causing widespread chaos filled with panic everywhere.

Similar events didn't just occur in Saltwater City; panic also spread worldwide, resulting in various forms of chaos and criminal activities. The most efficient method would be to erase all humanities memories from this period and reset their personalities to a certain point in the past, but I disliked doing that, which is why I opposed Tai Sui.

Of course, since the levels differ by a wide margin, the nature is entirely different. The accumulation of numbers to a certain degree results in qualitative change, and inversely, reduction to a certain degree as well. I'm not one who crudely equates "doing it once" with "doing it countless times." If necessary, it's not that I can't accept it. However, I'll still use a method more consistent with my style here.

I recalled what Mazao had done before at Moon Hidden Mountain City and once again initiated the Power of Return.

Not only Saltwater City, but the Power of Return also enveloped the entire globe once more, returning everyone to the most rational and peaceful emotional state they had ever been in their lives.
