Ye Ling, after using runes to cancel out E's runes and mending his wounds with the power of creation, gripped the Void Sword once more and fiercely attacked E!
E, seeing Ye Ling charging at him with the sword, shook his head and smiled, conjuring a barrier of runes in front of himself again.
Clang!!!
The Void Sword struck the rune barrier, emitting a metallic clang. The Void Sword in Ye Ling's hand was sent flying, while the rune barrier in front of E remained undamaged.
"Ye Ling, the runes you wield are merely superficial. You wish to defeat me with my own power, much like an infant wielding a wooden stick trying to shatter a giant robot. It's pure fantasy."
E looked at Ye Ling with a wry smile. "Unleash your true power. My patience is limited. Don't mistake my fondness for you as an excuse to keep acting out."
"When I truly make my move, you will truly die."
Hearing E's words, Ye Ling smiled faintly. "I intend to be fantastical. So what?"
E was momentarily stunned.
The next moment, the power of "Customizing the Future" began to operate. The runes around Ye Ling rapidly transformed into Source Script, and the Void Sword that had been sent flying vanished into thin air.
Seeing the change in Ye Ling's aura, E instantly realized what Ye Ling was about to do and rapidly retreated.
The Void Sword reappeared out of nowhere at the spot where E had just been standing. Had E not dodged in time, he would have been pierced by Ye Ling's Void Sword.
"What a shame..."
Ye Ling sighed softly. However, as he sighed, "Customizing the Future" operated again. E, who had already evaded the Void Sword, was instantly teleported back to his original position, and the Void Sword pierced directly through E's chest!
"Pfft!!!"
The Void Sword pierced E, but it was Ye Ling who violently spat out a large mouthful of blood. His face turned incredibly pale, and his aura plummeted.
E glanced at the Void Sword lodged in his chest, directly pulled it out, and looked at the unstable Ye Ling with confusion, asking, "Kid, you went to such great lengths to alter reality just to let me take this insignificant stab?"
"If you use 'Customizing the Future' like this again, you might not need me to act; you'll die on your own."
"I'm very curious now, what's the meaning behind what you're doing?"
Ye Ling wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at E, and said with a smile, "No special meaning. I just wanted to experience what it feels like to hit you."
"Unreasonable brat."
Upon hearing Ye Ling's words, E grabbed the Void Sword and shattered it, using his runes to completely obliterate the remnants of the sword.
"Ye Ling, if you think you can defeat me with this method, you're far too naive. This isn't a fairy tale. Your nonsensical attacks, while they may temporarily disrupt my control over events, are just that – temporary."
"Time is running out... Ye Ling, since you won't use the Book of Nothingness, let me help you use it!"
As E's words fell, he instantly teleported in front of Ye Ling and placed his hand on Ye Ling's chest.
Thump thump!
Ye Ling's heart gave a violent beat, and then it exploded. The Void Heart from the Void Spirit materialized in Ye Ling's chest cavity.
Crack!
Ye Ling's bones instantly turned to dust. The Void Stone from the Void Spirit transformed into Ye Ling's bones, supporting his body!
Boom!!!
Ye Ling's soul was shattered. The Void Spirit's Void Law enveloped Ye Ling's consciousness, becoming Ye Ling's soul!
E calmly watched Ye Ling, who was continuously merging with the Void series. In his other hand, the Book of Nothingness appeared. The Void Spirit was pinned within the book's pages by runes, unable to struggle.
"Ye Ling, this is the final step... I specifically provided power to the Book of Nothingness, allowing you to use it without limit, all so you could create a brand new Nothingness with it."
"You are the darling of the world, and everything you do will be favored... The new Nothingness you create will be the starting point of a new Pure White Realm. In that new world... there will be no corruption. And because your story has ended... the invisible hand that manipulates destiny will no longer control the fate of that new world, just as my story with Goodness ended back then."
"You will become an existence like me and Goodness."
E said indifferently. The Book of Nothingness floating in his palm began to burn. The Void Spirit within the Book of Nothingness merged with the book, and a brand new book, containing the worldview of Nothingness, was born from the Book of Nothingness.
After that new book appeared, all the books in the Pure White Realm, regardless of whether they had been corrupted by garbled code, scattered into points of light, and their energy surged towards the book in E's hand.
"The new world is born, the old world perishes... and that corruption will be buried along with the old world."
Ye Ling, enduring the excruciating pain of metamorphosis, stared intently at E and gritted his teeth, "You can't solve the garbled code corrupting the Pure White Realm, so you plan to destroy everything in the Pure White Realm and create a new one? Who exactly is the madman?"
E replied, "Everything in this world was created by that invisible hand. This scarlet garbled code is a tribulation defined by the creator. This code will soon devour the Pure White Realm and end all life... Since the Pure White Realm will be consumed anyway, it makes no difference whether the garbled code does it or I do."
"As long as that invisible hand controls everything, that corruption cannot be eradicated. Even if you sacrifice yourself and purify the Pure White Realm, this corruption will eventually return."
"The only solution is to completely bury this old world and have you create a brand new Pure White Realm."
"Because of your death, the old world's story ends, and that invisible hand will no longer be able to manipulate the fate of all beings, nor will it be able to define a new Pure White Realm."
"And precisely because of your death, a new Pure White Realm is born, making you the creator of this new Pure White Realm... In that new world, everything will be defined by you. You are the new creator."
Ye Ling gritted his teeth, "The old world paid such a great price for the new world to be born, but in the end, the new world is still defined by someone else? It's just changing the manipulator. What's the point?"
E said, "Naturally, after you become the creator, you will be the author of the new story. Everything that all beings experience will need to develop according to your will... Although I think you're a good kid, the new Pure White Realm should not be controlled by anyone. The stories of all beings should be written by themselves."
"Therefore, kid, I will completely erase your consciousness. The new Pure White Realm will write its own story in a place unknown to everyone."
"Ye Ling, you, along with the old Pure White Realm... are the necessary sacrifices for the existence of the new world."
"Forgive me."
As E's words fell, he directly implanted the book containing the new worldview of Nothingness into Ye Ling's body.
A white light erupted from Ye Ling's body, instantly engulfing everything!
