Su Fu’s fingers slowly closed, and she asked with incomparable calm.
But in that instant, the Goddess of Fate felt as though her entire existence was completely under control.
Death was right before her eyes, and she finally experienced the despair that all living beings whose fates she had toyed with felt at the end of their lives.
“…………”
Death, the death of both form and spirit annihilated, was approaching step by step.
“I was wrong, Su Fu! Spare me, and I can help you! Everything you want, the authority of fate, I can give it all to you!”
She begged incoherently, “I can become your subordinate god, I know the fate lines of all worlds, I—”
“What a pity,” Su Fu tilted her head slightly, cutting her off, “I don’t need it.”
Then her five fingers suddenly closed!
“Bang!”
The Goddess of Fate’s scream stopped abruptly, her origin instantly exploded, and the origin representing her existence dissipated wildly in all directions!
She clearly felt the coldness of death crawling over every inch of her existence.
She was infinitely approaching death!
She was truly going to die!
“Su Fu—!”
In the final moment before her consciousness dissipated, the Goddess of Fate went completely mad.
“You damned ant! You blasphemous heretic! You think this can completely kill me!”
Her voice was vicious to the extreme as she laughed hideously: “Even if I die, I’ll drag you down with me…… mutual destruction! Fall with me into this endless void and chaos forever!”
The entire Chaos Sea violently boiled and roared at this moment.
This was the birthplace of the Goddess of Fate, the place she had managed for countless epochs, her absolute home ground of existence.
She was the sole sovereign.
Su Fu’s defense was invincible and immune to all methods, but what if the entire space that bore everything completely collapsed?
She refused to believe Su Fu could still escape.
“You can’t escape……………… hahaha!”
Accompanied by the Goddess of Fate’s mad laughter, everything within sight was wildly collapsing and being destroyed.
The sky cracked, the earth caved in, the throne shattered into dust.
Countless fragments of time and space, like the sharpest blades, raged and cut through the void.
Chaotic energy torrents, like wild horses freed from their reins, madly crashed into everything.
“Rumble—”
The Chaos Sea completely lost control and exploded with a tremendous roar!
The entire heaven and earth collapsed in the torrent of destruction, and endless darkness devoured everything.
Su Fu stood at the center of the storm, the Qingyun Golden Lantern suspended above her head, the Taiji Diagram circulating around her body.
Countless surging time-space torrents and shattered rifts were all blocked.
She could feel that the entire space, under the Goddess of Fate’s activation, was inevitably heading toward destruction.
The Goddess of Fate wanted mutual destruction.
After all, she controlled the authority of fate and had an extremely dense connection to timelines, including the past, present, and future of timelines, as well as the trajectories of countless parallel time-spaces.
Now, she wanted to ignite the Chaos Sea, thereby blasting all connected timelines around it into a chaotic mess.
Like dropping a bomb into the river of time.
“Boom—!”
All timelines were blown open, past and future interwoven, reality and illusion overlapping, countless images drifting like shredded paper in the turbulence.
Immediately after, a terrifying torrent sufficient to crush even gods into fine powder came devouring toward Su Fu head-on!
The Taiji Diagram spun madly, the yin and yang energies straining with all their might to maintain balance, but it could not withstand a world-level disaster far beyond the ordinary.
“Bang!”
The Taiji Diagram could no longer endure that heaven-destroying, earth-annihilating terrifying explosion and law impact, and completely transformed into specks of light filling the sky.
Immediately after, the endless turbulence, like a towering tsunami, instantly swallowed Su Fu.
The Goddess of Fate’s mad laughter echoed before completely dissipating: “Die!!”
No one knew how much time had passed, but the violent energy gradually subsided but the time and space here had become completely disordered.
Countless timelines were like tangled balls of yarn, impossible to distinguish which one led to the past, which pointed to the future.
There was no sky here, no earth, only floating fragments of time and space, like a silent pantomime.
In this void, suddenly—
“Chi!”
A flame ignited in the void!
The fire burned hotter and fiercer, the crimson-gold Phoenix True Fire swept out, and finally a clear, resounding phoenix cry rang out.
The phoenix spread its wings, divine fire set the plains ablaze.
Su Fu, nirvana rebirth.
She appeared in the same spot, slowly opening her eyes, looking at this bizarre and motley spectacle before her, still somewhat dazed.
Countless fragments of images floated around, some displaying the past, others possibilities that had never occurred.
“Uh…….”
“Where the hell did I end up?”
She could no longer sense the aura of the Goddess of Fate at all.
That false god had truly been killed by her.
But her mad self-destruction…… Su Fu murmured to herself:
“This is by detonating all fate-related authorities, blasting this area, along with all associated timelines, completely into a chaotic mess?”
So, she was now in a completely disordered and completely unknown time-space turbulence?
Just then, a somewhat blurry image suddenly drifted past her eyes, like a reflection in water.
In the image were George and Theresa.
Before she could react, the scene before Su Fu’s eyes suddenly changed.
When she opened her eyes again, she was already inside a beautifully and exquisitely decorated reception room.
In the air, an intoxicating fragrance permeated.
Before her, George and Theresa were currently standing below with anxious, frightened expressions, their heads bowed.
“George, Theresa.”
On the chair across from them, a middle-aged man with a goatee spoke slowly, “Your studies at Tianqiong Path Academy are about to come to an end, aren’t they?”
George and Theresa’s faces were pale, and their bodies trembled slightly.
“What a pity……” the man sighed, “When we originally sponsored you, it was agreed that you would forge at least one hundred A-rank or above custom divine artifacts meeting family standards before…… regaining your freedom.”
“And from what I know, you haven’t achieved that?”
George weakly argued, “I…… I submitted more than one hundred, how could it not meet the requirement……………”
He was about to say more, but Theresa suddenly stopped him, standing in front of him.
“Steward,” Theresa forced a smile, “Then according to the contract, what should we do?”
“Don’t worry,” the steward waved his hand with feigned magnanimity, “Our Solomoor Family has always been benevolent and generous.”
“According to the quantity you submitted, you only need to sign a fifty-year service contract with the workshop………………”
“Of course, we’ll also provide you with good treatment……”
“Ten thousand credit points per month……”
Su Fu watching from the side finally understood—this was a timeline where the siblings were raised by a Hereditary House as blood-sweatshop artisans.
They had probably been completely schemed against by the so-called Solomoor Family when they were young and ignorant.
Called sponsorship, but actually an indenture contract.
No matter whether George could meet the conditions or not, the result was the same.
The ultimate goal was to get George into the so-called Solomoor Workshop, and then carry out day after day, year after year, endless exploitation like beasts of burden.
So, this was not the timeline she was in.
After all, in her world, these Hereditary Houses had already been uprooted, slaughtered to the last, and ground to dust before George and the others even graduated.
All those overbearing clauses and blood-sweat contracts had been reduced to worthless paper with the destruction of those family scum.
And she was here, yet those three people acted as if they could not see her at all, so…………………
Was she just an observer drifting in this timeline?
Unable to be seen or heard?
She tried to activate her divine power to break through this timeline projection, and soon the scene before her eyes became blurred again.
When she stabilized herself again, she found she had returned to her original position.
That image also leisurely drifted away before her.
But more images emerged around her.
Countless similar images, full of all kinds of partings and reunions, joys and sorrows, endless and infinite.
Su Fu: “…………”
Truly worthy of an existence that controlled fate.
Every choice would split into a parallel time-space, and the Goddess of Fate had directly detonated all possibilities.
So the question was—
How could she find the original timeline from these chaotic time-space torrents?
Su Fu felt that she was currently like a small boat drifting in an endless ocean.
Surrounded by vast fog, she could not distinguish direction at all, nor find any navigational marker to rely on.
Countless fate tributaries interwoven and tangled before her eyes—which one was the only true trajectory she had once walked upon?
Just then, she suddenly remembered something Bai Ya Nushi had once said in the Torch Dungeon.
“The so-called Anomalies do not follow the linear, unidirectional time rules that humans understand.”
“In their eyes, the past, present, and future can all exist simultaneously and can be freely observed and intercepted by them.”
Like a scroll spread open, revealed completely at a glance.
Su Fu had thought it profound at the time, but now she understood.
Only…… understanding was one thing.
“Which one is my main line?”

Meanwhile, Paradise Pantheon · Eden.
Shen Yan immediately shared today’s big gossip with everyone.
Hearing that Su Fu had smoothly exited the South Heaven Gate Dungeon and chased Mingyun Zhi Shen into a sorry flight, everyone’s faces showed joy.
“I told you!” Chesia said with shared pride, “Su Fu definitely could do it!”
“See, just as I said!”
“Quick! Let that damned Mingyun Zhi Shen be completely annihilated!”
Her eyes were full of excitement—once Mingyun Zhi Shen died, she would never have to live in fear again.
The Pope also revealed a slight smile: “Indeed, she did it.”
Houchu was even more relieved, his tense shoulders finally relaxing.
“That’s good…… that’s good.”
But just then, Shen Yan broadcast new information:
[Emergency Alert!]
[The River of Fate…… exploded.]
[After multiple deep scans and causal law reverse deductions…………..]
[The River of Fate and the dungeon space where Mingyun Zhi Shen was born have been entirely destroyed.]
[To be precise, the time-space dimension bearing all of Mingyun Zhi Shen’s authorities and existence has, from a higher-dimensional level, completely disappeared and ceased to exist.]
[Based on existing data analysis, the target Mingyun Zhi Shen has a mortality rate of 99.9999%.]
“Then what about Su Fu?” the Pope asked instinctively.
Upon hearing these words, Shen Yan rarely paused for several seconds.
Only then did he slowly and arduously reply: [As of this moment, no trace of Su Fu’s life signs or soul fluctuations has been discovered in any known or unknown dimension……]
[Attempting to mobilize all available resources to conduct a carpet-style continuous search of all potentially related space-time turbulence zones……]
[Based on current model projections, there is an extremely high probability that at the final moment of death, the Fate Goddess chose to……………………]
[Perish together with Su Fu.]
The moment this news emerged, the color drained from everyone’s faces.
“Impossible! How could she………………”
“Bullshit! Su Fu is so strong, how could she……………”
The Pope took a deep breath, forcibly composing himself.
“Shen Yan, what are the coordinates?”
Houchu immediately followed, “I’m going too.”
Chesia also completely panicked.
