Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

Time, after the third defense mode ended.

Transit station.

On the first day, everyone was digesting the news of being trapped in the same day's loop dozens of times.

It wasn't until the afternoon of that day, when the announcement for the end of the defense mode appeared, and as people speculated who might be the one to break the loop, a few legendary pioneers who had good relationships with the intermediaries...

All received the news that Jiang Xianwu was the one who broke the loop, and at the same time—Jiang Xianwu had fallen.

This news struck like a bolt from the blue.

In Longxia, there actually exists a culture called 'death worship', where once a person dies, everything about them seems to become noble.

Originally, many people did not approve of Jiang Xianwu; as a legendary pioneer, it seemed he had been getting by on luck all along.

But after his death, when everyone began to reminisce about him, they realized... this man was truly a legend.

On his journey, he had almost cleared all levels with SSS ranking. The three defense modes, as exposed by the intermediaries, were also known to have been cleared by him alone.

Even not long ago, when he defeated the strong enemy Karlando, it was him joining forces with Tianxiawuer. He even faced enemies stronger than Tianxiawuer.

Calling Wuer 'confused' was a compliment to Jiang Xianwu and a jest at Tianxiawuer.

But now, Wuer was no longer 'confused'.

That legendary, savior-like figure was gone.

Under the influence of 'death worship', Jiang Xianwu was already akin to a saint.

But death is such an absolute thing that all the regrets and love after a person's passing seem pale and powerless.

On that day, Snow Demon cried her eyes out at the transit station, wailing loudly.

Tongchen was completely dejected, as if he had lost his soul.

In the Voices of the Pioneers section, everyone felt as if a heavy stone lay on their hearts.

The one who had the hardest time accepting it was Lin.

In the Voices of the Intermediary, Zhong Jin, the strongest among the nine intermediaries, said:

"This world is just like that—there are many prominent prodigies. Their rise seems like cheating, unreachable by others.

There are a good few legendary pioneers, but perhaps, the trajectory of Jiang Xianwu is the only legend, whether it's Tianxiawuer or Guang Tongchen, whether it's Guan Canghai or Ke Zhongye, none can compare to his rise.

I have to admit, this kid is like a miracle itself.

But...

Life is full of regrets. No matter how talented a genius is, every miracle of his is built on countless coincidences and chances.

This kind of coincidence and chance always runs out at some point.

If it weren't for the 'Absolute Moment', maybe this kid should have already been in a dark, eternal slumber.

Lin... you must have experienced it, you know that in that era, there were countless others more talented than this kid."

Zhong Jin is a very taciturn person, barely participating in discussions among the nine intermediaries.

Yet, such a person has said so much this time.

Because Zhong Jin understood what it feels like to lose a beloved disciple.

"Some people, they just have an incredible trajectory, walking the path against the heavens, doing things against the heavens.

Their growth, illogical, appears like the protagonist of a story, all the way smooth sailing, all the way green light.

But a story is a story, reality is reality.

In that era of saints and great pioneers, there were not a few such people.

We don't understand, 'we' are writing, what kind of story it actually is.

Jiang Xianwu was stunningly talented, so what about those in the Origin World who became godly during the night of 'Divine Endowment', were they not stunningly talented as well?

When we nine chose to live on bearing our sins, didn't we think that our deeds would open a new world, that the fate we bore was the fate that would save the world?

Yet those who became gods degenerated into rules. Today, we are trapped in this small world, unable to be free.

The saints and great pioneers of the past have all perished.

That's reality for you... A person, a genius, a hero, even someone expected to be the savior, they could just—suddenly die a tragically.

"History is the same. An emperor who unites the land, clearly a once-in-a-millennium ruler, it feels like such a person should have even more unparalleled experiences ahead... yet suddenly dies of illness."

"There are also brilliantly talented generals, seeming like divinely descended gods of war, completely routing the foreign invaders, with lives like the rising sun, only to die young and unexpectedly."

"Lin... wait for the next miracle, Jiang Xianwu's journey has come to an end, at least within the timeframe I can see—he doesn't exist."

"He belongs to the past, not the future. In the days to come, maybe it's Tianxiawuer, maybe it's Guang Tongchen, maybe it's us, or perhaps a newcomer who barely escaped death, having completed the Pioneer's Trial..."

"Perhaps even a demon race, a corrupted breed, or someone from the third world?"

"Who knows, anyway, there will definitely be someone who starts a new era."

"Doomsday is upon us, who knows what the outcome will be?"

"In the future, when people evaluate this era, remember Jiang Xianwu, they'll probably say, this is a regrettable prodigy of that certain era, who almost brought about doomsday with his efforts."

"Or perhaps, it's the corrupted breed who are the protagonists, and people remembering Jiang Xianwu, will say, this is a troublesome enemy in the doomsday age, who almost prevented doomsday from coming... who knows?"
