Chapter 6371: End Means Beginning

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jian Wushuang sighed silently.

The cultivators within the Crimson Eye Realm, whether from the Upper Realm or the natives, had all given their best.

They had planned and schemed, only to end up here.

Jian Wushuang led Jiang Shang and the others out of the void. In the dark void, a cloud ignited in the eastern sky.

Only Mangshan County was destroyed; the Eastern Lands had not yet fully descended into darkness.

The sun continued to rise as usual.

“I never expected this to be the ending!” Xiang Yang looked at the lotus platform and sighed.

Yang Xiao gazed at the place where the Chief Commander had disappeared, remaining silent for a long time. Yet deep within, he harbored the resolve to inherit the Chief’s will.

“I can sense it. My clone hasn’t died yet, and neither has Li Miao!” Immortal Jiu Chen’s true form didn’t seem to care about anything else, still preoccupied with his clone.

Jian Wushuang spoke up at this moment, “They carry heavy karma. Do you still want to fuse with your clone?”

He had originally intended to help Jiu Chen return to his full strength, but seeing Jiu Chen’s overwhelming obsession, he felt it wasn’t necessary to proceed with the fusion.

As for Li Miao, while his soul had returned to reincarnation and he wasn’t technically dead, his path of cultivation was lost. He might not even manage to reincarnate, burdened with too much karmic debt, likely to be condemned to the Abyss of Endless Torment.

“Forget it, let him remain in this world forever!” Immortal Jiu Chen’s true form seemed to come to terms with it at that moment.

It seemed like everything had come to an end.

And yet, it also felt as if something was just beginning.

The lotus platform began to wither, but in an instant, a powerful life force blossomed.

The aura was familiar. Jian Wushuang turned his gaze, and a figure appeared on the lotus platform.

He alerted Jiang Shang, who also looked over.

Upon seeing the woman in plain clothes, Jiang Shang froze on the spot, trembling as she stammered, “Mother? Is that you?”

At first, she couldn’t believe it, until the figure extended her hand.

“Ni’er!”

That figure exuded an indescribable affection, but when she called out her daughter’s true name, a powerful force began to isolate her existence.

She became panicked, her face filled with fear, and her voice grew urgent as she shouted at Jiang Shang, “Don’t come, don’t come, don’t come… remember, never come looking for me!”

As she finished speaking, her figure began to vanish along with the lotus platform.

Yet, as she turned for one last look at her daughter, she noticed the figure standing beside her.

Boom!

It was as if lightning struck her mind. Her entire body began trembling, and she frantically shook her head at Jiang Shang, as if to warn her to leave the figure’s side.

The person standing beside Jiang Shang was none other than Jian Wushuang!

That figure was Jiang Shang’s mother, Jiang Shang, and when she saw Jian Wushuang standing beside her daughter, the fear in her eyes surpassed even the force that was cutting her off.

But in the end, she was unable to say anything.

Jian Wushuang, upon seeing Jiang Shang, didn’t quite know how to address her. He wanted to stop the isolating power but realized that it was Origin Source divine power—too strong. With his current strength, there was no way to intervene.

But it would be rude to meet an old acquaintance with a cold face, so he forced a small smile.

It was this smile that filled Jiang Shang’s eyes with terror.

Whoosh!

Jiang Shang’s figure completely disappeared, and at that moment, the lotus platform fully withered. Only a few dozen life seeds remained, which Jian Wushuang carefully gathered.

“Mother!” Jiang Shang finally snapped out of it, rushing forward in a panic.

Standing in the silent void, she couldn’t find a trace of her mother’s presence. In a daze, she stood there, tears streaming down her face, helpless.

Her pitiful state tugged at Jian Wushuang’s heart, and he couldn’t bear to watch. He stepped forward to console her, “What appeared just now was likely a projection of your mother. This means she’s still alive, probably in the Ancient Domain. Once you ascend, you might meet her again soon.”

“But my mother…” Jiang Shang looked up, her eyes bloodshot.

Jian Wushuang understood what she meant. He patted her shoulder and said, “Don’t worry. I’ll help you! I told you, I was friends with your mother. You don’t have to worry.”

Since her mother had previously looked at Jian Wushuang in an unusual way, Jiang Ni naturally had no reason to doubt it.

She even suspected that Jian Wushuang might be her unknown father!

If Jian Wushuang knew about this, he would probably have nightmares!

Fortunately, she wasn’t foolish and could tell that her personality and bloodline bore no resemblance to Jian Wushuang.

The only thing they had in common was their use of swords.

However, her swordsmanship had been taught by her mother, and it had nothing to do with Jian Wushuang.

Her thoughts were a whirlwind of speculation as she wondered, “Perhaps Senior Jian Wushuang once admired my mother?”

This guess wasn’t entirely wrong.

Because Jian Wushuang really had admired her in the past. Back when he first entered the ancient Moon Space-Time, he had admired the Heavenly Maiden.

The Heavenly Maiden was Jiang Ni’s mother, and this indeed counted as admiration.

There had also been a time in the Qishen Temple when Jian Wushuang had become close with Jiang Ni’s mother, which could be considered some sort of friendship.

But that bond was not particularly strong.

Just as Jian Wushuang was comforting Jiang Ni, Xiang Yang walked over at the worst possible time and asked in surprise, “Jiang Ni, why did I hear your mother calling you ‘Ni’er’? Is that your childhood nickname?”

Jian Wushuang rolled his eyes, feeling that this man always fixated on the strangest things.

“I suppose so!” Jiang Ni, now calm, nodded and explained, “My real name is Jiang Ni. After my mother left me in the Jiang Kingdom, I disguised myself as a man and changed my name to Jiang Shang. Later, I met all of you.”

“I see!” Xiang Yang had a sudden look of realization and then said, “So now that you’re back to being a woman, should we call you Jiang Ni?”

Jiang Ni smiled warmly. In that moment, she finally displayed the kind of smile that only a young woman could have.

That smile was also her farewell to the Red-Eye Realm.

The journey of the three had just begun.

This was merely an ordinary mortal world.

Jian Wushuang had gained much here, from the initial despair to eventual peace, even feeling fortunate. All of this had changed him because of this place.

So when he left, he transformed the Red-Eye Realm.

From then on, this world became a true paradise, free from the rampages of the powerful, a place of peace.

He completely filled the void, turning it into a vast plain.

All the traces left by the Northern Region Glacier and the entire cultivation world were erased one by one.

The remaining cultivators, deprived of the power they once absorbed, began to see their cultivation levels decline.

Eventually, they reverted to ordinary martial artists, with lifespans no different from those of mortals.

Of course, he allowed some individuals to retain their power.

For example, Yang Xiao remained a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, still at the peak of his power.

As for Jiu Chen’s clone, Jian Wushuang placed it within the Heavenly Dao, embedding within it a deep sense of duty towards the revival of the human race.

From that moment on, the Red-Eye Realm would be ruled by humans.

After their power was stripped away, the demon beasts could only become wild animals.

Furthermore, Jian Wushuang also rescued Chen Yuan’s soul, and in the process, he brought back Miss Ah Zi’s soul from the cycle of reincarnation, restoring their bodies together.
