A coin was tumbling through space. It hit the geno tablet with a ding sound. It was like it was attracted by a magnet. It stuck to the geno tablet.
The geno tablet was like an engine that was running at full power. It suddenly stopped. The universe that was reversing suddenly stopped.
The two universes were dead silent. The whole world was covered by a purple light. Countless creatures had a purple light around them, but things did not reverse like before.
All the creatures looked at the coin on the geno tablet with shock. They did not know what was going on. They had hope, but they were very nervous. They were afraid their hopes would be dashed. Tap!
Tap!
Tap!
In the dead universe, the sound of footsteps was very sudden. Everyone's attention was drawn to the sound of the footsteps. They could not help but turn around to look.
Qin Xiu, who had been looking at Wan 'er gently, finally moved his eyes away from Wan' er's face. He raised his head and looked at the purple light.
A shadow was coming out of the purple light. It approached the geno tablet. The shadow was getting clearer. When he walked in front of the geno tablet, everyone could see his face.
"Han Sen … San Mu … Dollar … Dollar …" Suddenly, all sorts of screams were heard throughout the universe. Perhaps the names they were calling out were different, but they were all shocked and happy.
Chaos, who was holding Bao 'er and waiting for everything to end, opened her eyes wide. She looked at Han Sen with a look of disbelief.
"I knew … Dad would come …" Because too much of the universe's power had been taken, Bao 'er's body returned to the shape of a child. Her face looked very happy.
Han Sen and Qin Xiu looked at each other and quietly said, "Qin Xiu, give it up."
Qin Xiu was holding Wan 'er. He looked at Han Sen and looked at him with disdain. "Are you going to be a hero and judge me on behalf of the universe?"
"I have never been a hero," Han Sen said. "I do not have the right to judge you. If I were you, maybe I would have done the same thing you did."
A trace of surprise appeared in Qin Xiu's eyes. "But you still stood in front of me, insisting on fighting me."
Han Sen scanned the sky. He looked at Bao 'er, Ji Yanran, Han Ling' er, Littleflower, and the others. His eyes went from loving to determined. When he looked back at Qin Xiu, his gaze was unshakable.
"Because the people I care about are all standing opposite you.
You are willing to destroy the universe for Wan 'er. I am willing to protect this universe for the people I care about. It has nothing to do with good or evil. It has nothing to do with right or wrong. It is all because of fate. Between you and me, only one of us can keep what we want. "
Qin Xiu laughed. "You're right. It seems that we're the same type of people, and this battle is unavoidable."
"Unless you give up the idea of reversing time and space. Will you?" Han Sen asked.
"I don't. What about you?" Qin Xiu retorted.
"Neither do I." Han Sen answered without hesitation.
"That's good."
Qin Xiu stood up. He gently placed Wan 'er on the tablet. He gently kissed her forehead and said, "Wan' er, wait for me. Big Brother will soon save you from this nightmare. Very soon …"
When he turned around, it was like the difference between an angel and a demon.
When Qin Xiu faced Han Sen, the gentleness on his face was gone. His eyes were full of determination.
"Although at that time, I was suppressed by Chaos' will and spent most of my time in a state of deep sleep, I could still sense your existence. However, it was only a trace of a wondrous feeling. I didn't know what kind of person you were.
When the geno prototype armor's shell melted, my will stabilized the situation. Sometimes, I could really feel your existence. "
Qin Xiu looked at Han Sen and went on to say, "To me, you are a familiar stranger. When I first felt your existence, I had a very weird feeling."
"What kind of feeling?" Han Sen asked.
"You and I are too much alike," Qin Xiu coldly said. "If one day, we cannot be friends, we will be enemies."
"It looks like your intuition is very accurate," Han Sen said with a sigh. "I would rather your intuition not be accurate."
Qin Xiu looked at Han Sen and said, "You have practiced four genes. You have Sister Yue's Cold Sutra, Blood Legion's Blood-Pulse Sutra, Xuan Men's Dongxuan Sutra, and The Story of Genes, which I created in my first life.
If you can practice the Cold Sutra to the max, you can take that step and completely purify your genes. The little universe you create will be very pure.
The Blood-Pulse Sutra is not used for fighting, but if you can create a little universe, it is the best of the four geno arts.
The Dongxuan Sutra is the strongest geno art. Maybe when you reach the max, you can create a universe and not just your own little universe. "
After saying that, Qin Xiu did not continue.
"You have evaluated the first three," Han Sen said. "Why don't you evaluate The Story of Genes as well?"
"Because it is a geno art that is impossible to practice. After I woke up my previous life's memory, I wondered if I should practice The Story of Genes. In the end, I gave up on it."
After pausing, Qin Xiu looked at Han Sen and said, "In fact, the one who helped you learn The Story of Genes was not Chaos. It was me."
"It was you?" Han Sen looked at Qin Xiu with shock. That answer surprised him.
Qin Xiu went on to say, "Chaos did want to help you.
Although she is a very knowledgeable person, it is a shame that she is not the creator of The Story of Genes.
When it comes to understanding The Story of Genes, she is far from it.
If I had not done something when she attacked, even with the help of the geno prototype armor, you would not have been able to learn The Story of Genes."
"Why did you do that?" Han Sen asked with confusion.
"Because I wanted to know if The Story of Genes was a dead end or not," Qin Xiu said with a smile.
Qin Xiu smiled slightly. "Now that I see you, I know that it's not a dead end. You've walked that path."
"I do not know if I have made it through," Han Sen said. "Or, I am still on the road."
"It is a shame that between you and me, only one of us can keep going," Qin Xiu said. His body was glowing with purple light.
The geno tablet's light was dim. It suddenly shone brightly. The coin that was stuck to the geno tablet was bounced away. Han Sen caught it in his hand.
The time and space that had stopped reversed started again. It was even fiercer than before. Time was reversed. The whole universe was devolving. Countless creatures were dying in the spirit light.
The souls that were supposed to go to the geno hall were now going to the geno tablet. The souls in the geno tablet were not given the chance to reincarnate. They were absorbed by the geno tablet.
"The whole universe has combined with me.
I am the universe, and the universe is me.
If you want to beat me, you will have to destroy the universe.
If you cannot beat me, the universe will restart with me to the time when Wan 'er was the happiest.
It will start all over again." Qin Xiu's purple light and the geno tablet combined with the whole universe.
He was like a god that controlled the sky and the earth.
Han Sen looked serious. He looked at countless planets with countless souls flying up. Many planets were destroyed. Many planets that did not exist before, or some planets that existed in ancient times, appeared.
His fight with Qin Xiu was not just a fight between people. It was a fight that determined the future of the universe.
Han Sen did not know if his decision would benefit the universe in the future, but he knew that if the universe existed, Ji Yanran and Bao 'er would exist.
"Stop him!"
The god temple collapsed. The geno hall fell. Even the bodies of the Annihilation God Spirits were disappearing. A sky full of God Spirits were roaring.
It was not just the God Spirits. The God Chaos Party, the seven kingdoms, and the ten thousand races of the gene race were all screaming and praying. Countless creatures were crying and dying.
The universe seemed to have turned into a purple primordial mist. Everything was being annihilated.
"Come on. Let me see what kind of power your little universe has. Let me see if it can stop my will." Qin Xiu's voice was like a demon god's echoing in the universe.
"I did not wake up my little universe."
Han Sen's body was covered by the purple light, but his voice was heard by all the creatures.
"He did not wake up his little universe?" Chaos's face changed.
Crape Myrtle looked bitter. "Is the evolution wall's suppression not enough to wake up his body?"
"The universe is too big," Qin Xiu said. "My heart is not that big. It cannot hold so many things.
All I have is this one gold coin.
Now, I am giving it to you, "Han Sen said, flicking his thumb and sending the coin to Qin Xiu.
In the purple hazy universe, the coin was very eye-catching. It went through the purple air. The front and the back were spinning toward Qin Xiu.
Qin Xiu's eyes froze. The whole universe's purple light was gathering toward the coin. It wanted to stop the coin from getting closer.
When the coin was spinning, the purple light was bouncing away. The coin was like a bolt of gold lightning. It did not look back. It was going in front of Qin Xiu.
Qin Xiu frowned. He reached out his hand and grabbed the coin.
"Is this the power of The Story of Genes?"
Qin Xiu asked as he looked at the coin in his hand. "It is very special. Even my universe power cannot control it."
The coin looked very old. There was only the word "1" in front of it. It looked like it was just one dollar.
Qin Xiu wanted to flip the coin around to see what was on its back, but he noticed the coin was stuck to his hand. He could not take it off.
"No, that is not The Story of Genes' power," Han Sen said, looking at Qin Xiu.
"What you are saying is The Story of Genes is just a part of you, but it is not The Story of Genes." Qin Xiu was smart. He immediately understood what Han Sen meant.
"Yes," Han Sen said.
"So, if I destroy it, I will destroy you. Is that right?"
Qin Xiu's eyes flashed strangely. The sky full of purple mist gathered around his body. It was like a demon covering his body.
Qin Xiu clenched his hands. A scary power exploded in his fists. It looked like he was going to crush the coin.
But in the next second, Qin Xiu's face changed. He looked worse and worse. His fists were shaking, and his fingers were wiggling. A gold light came out from between his fingers.
His body's purple light was going to the coin even faster.
"This … What kind of power is this?" Qin Xiu's face changed. His whole body was being sucked into the coin.
Qin Xiu used all his power, but he could not stop his body from being sucked into the coin.
Seeing Qin Xiu's hand being sucked into the coin, Han Sen said, "Although I haven't been able to awaken a small universe, I can consume any universe. That includes your small universe. Maybe I am not human anymore."
"How is this possible?" Qin Xiu's eyes shook, but it was only for a moment. In the next moment, Qin Xiu's other hand was like a knife. He cut off his arm that was holding the coin.
"It is useless." Han Sen shook his head and sighed.
The arm that Qin Xiu cut off was suddenly sucked into the coin, but Qin Xiu's body was unable to escape the coin's suction power. He was still being sucked in. His body was being pulled toward the coin.
No matter how much power Qin Xiu used, he could not resist the coin's suction power. In the blink of an eye, half of his body was being pulled into the coin.
"I did not expect … I really did not expect the power of The Story of Genes to be so strong … If I knew this was going to happen, I would not have taken the geno prototype armor.
I did not expect … I would lose to a geno art I created …" Qin Xiu laughed.
His laugh was a bit relieved.
It was sad, but it was also a bit happy.
It was impossible to describe what kind of smile he had.
"Yes, you lost to yourself," Han Sen said.
"No, I have not lost yet. Even if I die, as long as Wan 'er is happy, that is enough."
Qin Xiu looked at Wan 'er on the geno tablet. He laughed happily. "Wan' er, goodbye. Even if I am not here, you must live happily."
"Oh, no!" Crape Myrtle's face changed. He wanted to remind Han Sen, but it was too late.
Qin Xiu opened his mouth and coughed up blood. A purple blood light was spat out toward the geno tablet.
Almost at the same time, Qin Xiu's body was sucked into the coin. The back of the coin was revealed.
On the back of the coin, there was a purple shadow. It looked like Qin Xiu. Behind Qin Xiu, there was a small universe that looked like a star.
"Obtained … One universe coin …"
A voice suddenly sounded in Han Sen's head. Han Sen was not in the mood to listen because the geno tablet absorbed the purple blood light Qin Xiu spat out. It was running like crazy. The universe's time and space were collapsing. It was like the end of the world.
"Oh, no! The geno tablet is the one that controls the universe. Although Qin Xiu is dead, Qin Xiu activated the geno tablet's final self-destruct command. The whole universe will die with Qin Xiu." Light Goddess's face was pale.
"No, Qin Xiu did not want the geno tablet to self-destruct," Crape Myrtle said. "He wanted it to bring the universe back to Wan 'er's time."
"Han Sen, hurry up and stop the geno tablet," Moment God gnashed her teeth and shouted. "We cannot let this continue." The geno hall was going to fall apart.
"It is useless," Crape Myrtle said. "Only Qin Xiu can command the geno tablet. Now, Qin Xiu is dead. No one can command the geno tablet. If we try to destroy the geno tablet, we will destroy the entire universe. If we do not destroy it, with the geno tablet's control over the universe, it will drag the universe back to that time."
"Does that mean everything is over?" All the God Spirits felt hopeless.
The whole universe was crying like it was the end of the world. It did not matter if it was the universe of kingdoms or the geno universe. They were all collapsing. Countless creatures died in the disaster. Their souls were like a sea of stars. They were all flying toward the geno tablet.
"Han Sen, save Bao 'er first." Chaos could tell the universe's reversal could not be stopped. She wanted Han Sen to save Bao' er.
"I will save Bao 'er, but I am not just going to save Bao' er."
Han Sen reached out his hand and pulled out a stone clock. He reached out his hand and hit the stone clock. He then said, "In the name of Dollar, every sky, and every world, listen to my command. Everything will return to its place."
Following Han Sen's voice, the madly spinning geno tablet suddenly stopped. In the next second, the geno tablet, which was absorbing all the power, spat out the power it had absorbed.
The universe, which had been destroyed by the reversal, had a new life.
A sky full of creatures felt power return to their bodies. Space around had a new life. They were so happy. They could not help but raise their heads to look at the body standing in front of the geno tablet. It was like they wanted to imprint that image deep in their minds so they could never forget it.
