The end where time and space converge.
There is no light, no darkness—only endless nothingness.
Here, even the laws of the world can hardly reach.
The final destination where all things end.
When she was giving Gu Yuena electrotherapy, she unexpectedly found this place deep within Gu Yuena's memories—more precisely, deep within the Dragon God's dragon soul memories.
Ning Rongrong did not know exactly what the Dragon God had seen back then that made him so anxious, prompting him to push the entire Dragon Realm to break through and achieve godhood as a divine star.
"Perhaps there will be answers here!" Ning Rongrong was uncertain. Her sole purpose was to break through.
The Dragon God was already a thing of the past—irrelevant, merely incidental.
When life level, physical level, and soul level all reach the extreme, laws become something one can touch at will.
As for comprehension, that was merely a matter of time.
Tempering and sublimation.
When the three become one, quantity transforms into quality.
"This is what is called the Longevity Realm."
Ning Rongrong sat cross-legged, a faint aura drifting gently around her body.
"To achieve this is almost impossible."
The so-called God Kings of the God Realm are actually just beings who, by relying on the rules of the universe's own system and entrusting themselves to their own God Realm, can at most reach the level of God King.
As for the Dragon God… what he entrusted himself to was the Dragon Realm.
Nothingness knows no years.
The aura around Ning Rongrong grew increasingly soft and gentle.
In her mind, bizarre scenes flashed by—one after another. Some she had experienced, some she had not, yet all things that had ever existed in the world.
She saw the scene of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's destruction.
Her father Ning Fengzhi lay in a pool of blood, the figures of Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo gradually fading away.
She even saw certain world lines where the Shrek Seven Devils were killed by the Spirit Hall, Spirit Hall unified the continent, and in some worlds, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue—mother and daughter—fought each other to the death and both fell.
These were completely events she had never experienced, yet they played through her mind like slides.
Finally, all the images froze on one place.
Within a certain dimensional universe.
The God Realm.
A woman with long brown hair, dressed in a light white skirt, her eyes flickering with worry.
"Oscar, you go back first!"
"Rongrong, your face looks terrible! Are you sick?" A look of surprise appeared on the Food God's face, and he deliberately made a goofy expression.
"Never mind, I'm afraid it's already too late." The Nine-Colored Goddess let out a soft sigh.
Wherever her gaze fell, everything fell into dead silence. Even the Food God beside her instantly became dazed, his vitality and soul completely frozen.
"Phew—"
"You're here."
The Nine-Colored Goddess sensed no trace of anyone, yet she knew that existence had already arrived in the God Realm.
"Yes. I didn't expect you to reach first-level god."
A faint figure appeared not far from the Nine-Colored Goddess. It shifted from illusory to solid, yet its appearance was completely indistinguishable—like a mosaic.
"If you could break through, that means you saw it too, right?"
Silence. After a long pause, the Nine-Colored Goddess spoke: "You are stronger than me. That memory from beyond the world—did it really change you this much?"
"I'm actually quite envious!"
"My father didn't die. Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa didn't fall either. I…"
"Heh, I'm not you after all. Even if I saw some fragments, they're just like flowers in a mirror or moon in water."
The Nine-Colored Goddess paused, then continued, "Ning Rongrong, are you here to kill me? To take back your so-called causality?"
"Can you spare Oscar?"
"He knows nothing."
"Every individual is unique." The mosaic-filled figure gradually revealed its true appearance.
Long pink hair draped over her shoulders, gently stirred by the breeze. Compared to the Nine-Colored Goddess opposite her, she carried an additional air of ethereal illusion.
"There's no need, and no reason, for me to deprive something that doesn't belong to me."
"But the causality I am linked to—I will take it back."
"You won't remember that I came here, nor will you remember anything from the other world."
"You will only remember that you unexpectedly broke through to first-level god. Consider it a gift from me."
"By the way, you saw what happened to Tang San's fall, right?" Ning Rongrong said calmly. "Although I could peek into your thoughts, I have no such hobby."
"Him…" The Nine-Colored Goddess shook her head. "A god who could even scheme by tearing apart his own daughter—he's no longer the one he used to be. No… just as you saw in your memories, perhaps I never truly understood him."
"Even back then, I was influenced. No—I'm different from you. My personality has always been this way. When Sword broke and Bone shattered, what I thought of wasn't retrieving their remains, but Tang San…"
"Heh, this is the child of destiny for you!"
Ning Rongrong said nothing, offered no mockery—she simply watched quietly.
"Alright, do it. I don't know what's going on in your world, but I'm sure you didn't come here with your main body. Your world should still be in crisis."
"Mm…" Ning Rongrong nodded.
A streak of white light enveloped the Nine-Colored Goddess's forehead. In the blink of an eye, that profound and mysterious feeling around the Nine-Colored Goddess vanished completely.
Ning Rongrong let out a soft sigh.
She glanced at the Food God beside her; his body turned into specks of light and dissipated.
In moments, the surrounding time and space resumed flowing.
"Nine-Colored, you broke through?" Coming back to his senses, the Food God looked at the Nine-Colored Goddess in disbelief.
The Nine-Colored Goddess appeared somewhat dazed.
…
Land of Nothingness.
Ning Rongrong withdrew the intent clone she had spread out. All causalities from every world were gathered back.
"Every individual Ning Rongrong is unique. There will be no further connections."
Ning Rongrong took a deep breath: "Only one last step remains."
However…
The Glazed Holy Sword and Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, now forged by the power of nothingness, appeared before Ning Rongrong, slowly floating and drifting.
Then, they transformed into human forms.
"Kurumi, Di Tian, you two go back first. I can handle the rest myself."
"I'm a little worried about the Douluo plane."
Di Tian and Kurumi exchanged a glance, then nodded lightly. They turned into streams of black and dark red light that tore through the space of the Land of Nothingness.
They left the Land of Nothingness.
"All causality has now fallen upon me." As she spoke, Ning Rongrong's brows furrowed slightly. She felt an oppressive pressure seemingly drifting in from all directions.
Ning Rongrong's expression tightened slightly as she murmured, "Come, then. Let me see exactly what the Dragon God and Asura God saw back then."
Just as the rift in the universe was torn open and Tokisaki Kurumi and Di Tian had not yet had time to close it,
they felt a terrifying presence seeping out from within—like something that could devour a person whole.
"That's the Dragon God's laws—no, something seems off." Di Tian's tone carried considerable worry.
"Don't worry about her. Master is overwhelmingly strong—she can live through millions of years of calamity without issue."
"If we stayed inside, we'd only get in the way. Otherwise, she wouldn't have let us leave."
"Even so," Di Tian said, "don't forget our contract. If Master dies, then we will also…"
"Old dragon, haven't you noticed? Our contract was changed to an equal contract just now."
"This…" Di Tian was stunned.
"Ning Rongrong isn't as ruthless as your former master."
"That's also why I'm willing to serve her—at least she treats me like a person, unlike you…"
"You weren't a person to begin with." Di Tian rolled his eyes and retorted.
"Mind your own business. It's a figure of speech."
"Let's go—back to Douluo Star. The God Realm has probably already started moving."
With that, Tokisaki Kurumi drew her pistol, gave a "biu," and opened a spatial rift.
"Sigh… let's head back first." Di Tian and Tokisaki Kurumi vanished into the space-time portal.
