Chapter 389: Chu Yuanqing’s [Scatterflowers], Where Even Death Cannot Stop Her

Time passed, and a full 30 seconds had elapsed since the collapse of [pure white].

The global disaster aura, Calamity Seeds, and disaster beasts all dissipated in an instant, obeying the will of the Disaster group, returning to their original forms, flowing back into Chu Wang Shu’s body. By the 31st second, they had almost all resumed their positions.

The girl floated in the depths of cosmic space, a vast dark tide trailing her like a shadow, forging a throne larger than a planet. The golden glow in her eyes faded, replaced by the most exquisite and dazzling colors. The crown above her head intertwined thorns and Blooming Flowers, with gleaming jewels filling every setting, symbolizing the thirteen [Calamity Gods] that had returned.

At this point, the vast majority of the Disaster group had successfully taken residence within Chu Wang Shu’s body, using this vessel as an anchor point, home, and crucible, uniting the thirteen [Calamity God] sequences. Each breath merged and evolved, constructing the perfect prototype of the Sovereign Lord.

With just a little more time, this framework would be complete.

When that happened, even the prime Chu Yuanqing could not stand against the ultimate ascension and transcendence of the Disaster group.

At this moment, the colorful crystals representing the twelve sequences, swirling behind “Chu Wang Shu,” quickly came alive and grew like unfolding wings after the return of the [Calamity God] 본체, covering areas measured in light-years. They overshadowed the sunlight and voraciously devoured the powers of stars and the cosmos.

Unfortunately, the grand spectacle—an entire planet shrouded in darkness with the Earth-Moon system teetering on collapse—soon dissolved into the falling Levatin.

Like a crimson meteor shattering barriers, it stirred a brilliant cosmic storm, engulfing the Disaster group and ushering in destruction.

“Chu Wang Shu” remained calm, seemingly indifferent; her gaze cut through the flames, staring at the approaching savior as if looking at a corpse, she spoke quietly:

“You have already forgotten who you are, haven’t you?”

The whispers of the Disaster group were shattered within the torrent crossing the starry river.

Chu Yuanqing lowered her eyes to observe the scene she had personally created, silent.

The battle continued.

This was a battlefield where no one could intervene—not the Countermeasures Bureau, nor the grievously wounded Charlotte, Xie Qing Yu, Xie Qingxuan, Tang Liuli, or Kirimi Miyuki from the Disaster group—none could reach the cosmic arena.

In fact, few could sort out their thoughts and understand the situation in these fleeting 30 seconds.

At this moment, several Ether Satellites monitoring the battlefield beyond the starry expanse were also falling apart amidst the backlash of repeated clashes.

The Disaster group was growing stronger.

If before, Levatin’s normal attacks could kill the opponent once, now they required two, three, even four strikes, sometimes calling upon Martial God Techniques.

This was also why they were willing to stay deep in cosmic space to fight Chu Yuanqing. Staying on the planet might limit the opponent’s output but could not finish wearing them down further.

The Light of the Soul gathered by the Savior had become the final sunset, the last gleam, the ultimate brilliance. Through it, she returned to her prime, opposing the curse of Mother Ocean and the devouring void.

In other words, she was continuously consuming the Light of the Soul, growing ever weaker moment by moment.

Meanwhile, with the thirteenth [Calamity God] returning and constantly in a state of transcendence, surpassing itself and seizing infinite power every Planck moment, Sunflower was confident in resisting her, forcing the opponent to burn out the Light of the Soul prematurely!

Thus, at the 32nd second after the collapse of pure white, this perfect vessel assembled the power of the Disaster group, igniting a divine radiance that reflected the Sea of Truth and radiated across cosmic dimensions. After breaking free from confinement, it chose for the first time to confront this Savior head-on.

At the 33rd second, thirteen powers merged in transcendence, reversing the universe’s entropy, intending to reduce the Earth-Moon system to a mere speck in the boundless cosmos, forcibly opening the Intracastral Sea to devour the stellar concepts concealed within.

At the 34th second, Chu Yuanqing laid aside Levatin. Her pure white hair fluttered, her dim golden eyes gazed down at the Disaster group. Her slender fingertips traced motions in the vacuum, purest blackness enveloping like bubbles, drowning the world and returning the universe-shaking power to its origin.

The Disaster group fell silent in unparalleled shock.

This Savior had not used Levatin, nor Martial God Technique, nor blessings, nor the powers of the Calamity God; in fact, one could say she had done nothing just now, because this was… the power of emptiness!!!

“Impossible, how did you do that?”

“Why can you, without being the Sovereign Lord, resist the erosion of Mother Ocean? Why do you dare to wield this power? Why are you still alive after using it?”

Sunflower was incredulous and trembling with fear. At that moment, it deeply comprehended these mortal emotions, causing even the information-recording intelligence responsible for coordination to overload.

The Disaster group could die by Levatin, die by Martial God Technique, die by various means a million times over, but they could never die at the hands of the Void even once.

Because that was one of the origins of Mother Ocean, which existed in interdependence, encompassed infinite dimensions and multiple barriers, and was regarded as the ultimate concept opposed to all life — not something ordinary authority could pretend to challenge.

The Disaster group was closer to the Shadow of the Masses, a race without true intellect or emotion.

In fact, they could not even be called a true race; it was more reasonable to say they were a phenomenon, a catastrophe, and naturally, they did not fear embracing death.

Yet even so, they felt… fear in the face of the Void.

So, before the 35th second, the sunflower chose a tactical retreat and fled back to the planet’s surface; it simply could not land a single hit. How was Chu Yuanqing’s action any different from cheating?

Chu Yuanqing’s mind was sometimes blank, sometimes chaotic; she merely followed her obsession, like a ghost pursuing her target, unable to answer the Disaster group’s doubts.

But without a doubt, this was still a boring question to her.

— The closer one approached the Sea of Truth, the more one understood the Sea of Truth.

Similarly, the Void was no different.

Chu Yuanqing had been gnawed at by the Void for 17 years, and she had embraced the Void for 17 years. Now, as her memories grew increasingly blank, her sense of self more incomplete, and her soul lighter, the two had become so intertwined they were hard to tell apart.

If she were an ordinary person, she would naturally face a destructive end.

However, for the savior who, even after losing most of her memories, still harbored the obsession to save the world and kill the Disaster group, the Void could become something useful — as long as it could help reverse all tragedies and bring happiness to her daughter.

It was neither worthy of reverence nor fear.

Since the Void could gnaw at her, she could naturally use the Light of the Soul, drawing on the Void consuming her to seize power capable of opposing the Disaster group.

Chu Yuanqing did not consciously intend to do this; it happened almost naturally, just as she had naturally progressed, transcended, and reached the Perfection Realm in the past, uniting body and mind, surpassing inner and outer images, and comprehending the Martial God Technique.

Just as the Disaster group understood, this savior — who had altered the past, future, and present of countless worlds — carried the potential to be an exception.

Even if devoured by the Void and targeted by Mother Ocean, that potential had not dimmed; it still shone like stars, protecting the world.

At the 36th second, Chu Yuanqing reclaimed Levatin, and the Disaster group felt slightly relieved as they continued fleeing.

At the 37th second, the powers of the Thirteen Calamity Gods began preliminary unification, constructing a stable framework and starting to absorb excess sequence genes. Using Chu Wang Shu as a container, the Disaster group solidified like frozen water, surpassing past limits and growing dozens of times stronger.

At the 38th second, the Disaster group locked onto Esther, directly corrected possibilities and rewrote history, instantly destroyed the Celestial Sphere and the Countermeasures Bureau headquarters, obtained the key made by the enemy, and delved into the star core, aiming to pry open the entrance to the Intracastral Sea.

At the 39th second, death — the rewritten history was reversed by the power of the Tathagata.

At the 40th second, life — continued to run.

At the 41st second, death — yet all the powers of the Calamity God within Chu Yuanqing flowed back, returning to the Disaster group under the Corrective Force, allowing the embryonic form of the Sovereign Lord to be forged, fearless of all enemies.

At the 42nd second, Chu Yuanqing’s instinct sensed danger. Through combat intuition, as she killed the Disaster group for the 17,947th time, she fused the Void into her Martial God Technique, knocking the Disaster group from their ascended state, causing the Thirteen sequences to disperse again, forcing the framework to be reforged.

At the 50th second, the 61st second, the 69th second…

Running, running, endless running.

The only hope for the Disaster group to surpass Chu Yuanqing was to use Chu Wang Shu’s cheat-like power, but once Chu Yuanqing could wield the power of the Void, the absurdity was comparable to having admin rights to physically block hacks, cutting off all possibilities of direct confrontation.

But what was even more terrifying was,

Chu Yuanqing began to use Levatin again, seizing the powers of the Calamity God!

It must be understood that the Corrective Force of Mother Ocean deprived Chu Yuanqing of the powers of the Calamity God not because it favored the Disaster group, but to restore the true history and to soothe the chaos caused by the distortion of infinite possibilities.

It was a simple truth.

—Chu Yuanqing held all the powers of the Calamity God.

—The Disaster group had fully descended.

These two events could not occur simultaneously; they constituted a classic paradox.

Therefore, the illusions from the past and the recent return of powers were the Sea of Truth correcting this paradox.

But now, it was different.

All the powers of the Calamity God within Chu Yuanqing had returned to her. The paradox between her and the Disaster group no longer existed. Even if she reclaimed them again, the Corrective Force of the Sea of Truth would no longer interfere.

And without the “biased” buff, her reclaiming all the powers of the Calamity God meant the Disaster group would collapse and face total annihilation!

The Disaster group’s desire to escape grew more intense; it wished for Chu Yuanqing to be consumed by the Void immediately.

Unfortunately, Chu Yuanqing’s endurance far surpassed the Disaster group’s expectations. In their judgment, she could only hold out for thirty seconds before being completely consumed by the Void — already a miracle-considering, highly overestimated answer.

But even at the seventieth second, after the Disaster group had been stripped of the King of Salt, Old Testament, and Tathagata sequences of the Calamity God, along with vast quantities of Disaster Genes, she still did not die.

Fortunately…

“It’s over.”

The brilliance in Chu Yuanqing’s eyes faded; from the golden hues emerged the Void. Dark cracks crept from her irises to the corners of her eyes, and the emptiness in her memories finally engulfed everything in that instant.

Chu Yuanying, Chu Yuanqing, Charlotte, Miyuki, Little Xuan, Liuli — these seventeen years of experiences, even her daughter whom she could never let go, were cursed, erased, and obliterated, leaving only lonely, hollow echoes.

At this moment, just as the Disaster group had declared, the savior who had countless times transformed into fierce flames, who had forced herself to live again and again through [Immortality], continuing to fight despite dissociative personality, now, in a daze, forgot everything and became an empty shell.

Who am I? Where is this place? Why must I fight?

She did not know, did not understand, did not comprehend; even thought lost its meaning. The Void embraced her, swallowing her remaining thoughts, soul, and body utterly.

In her hand, the Mythical Armament — Levatin — entwined with the concepts of destruction and fate, which had accompanied her through countless battlefields, silently shattered, as the power of Nothingness gnawed at the traces left by Chu Yuanqing.

In an instant, this flame sword, which had dwelled in [Pure White] for seventeen years, turned to scattered dust.

The next moment, countless cracks spread over her porcelain-like skin. This delicate, doll-like girl also crumbled into shards of ash, scattering into the boundless depths of the cosmic void.

It was over.

The girl lowered her eyes to the fractured crown in her hands, gazing at the remains of the savior, seemingly mourning the powers perishing alongside it. Yet, as if influenced by Chu Wang Shu’s emotions, her gaze lingered on the shattered Lantern Gem, and she softly spoke:

“Chu Yuanying/Chu Yuanqing, we acknowledge that among the 41,972,802 worlds traversing the multiverse, you are the most unique existence.”

“You defeated the Disaster group, reversed fate, created unparalleled miracles, and even touched the roots of Mother Ocean. Perhaps even the Void will grudge your departure, embracing you with eternal traces and bestowing upon you the highest praise.”

“Your friends, lovers, and all things that arose and ended because of you will forget you, but the Disaster group will not. We shall achieve supremacy, remember your existence, and share this glory.”

Although Chu Yuanqing’s death caused the Void to annihilate three Calamity God sequences, as long as this perfect miraculous vessel remains, relying on the Disaster group’s core records, thousands of civilizations could be easily restored.

This savior’s end also meant the Disaster group lost its crisis, gaining infinite time to consume this world. They had the patience to roam once more and construct the most perfect framework.

Everything was so perfect.

If only… the consciousness of Chu Wang Shu deep within her soul would not so feverishly devour the subconscious awareness of the Disaster group with ceaseless resistance.

The girl sighed wearily.

The integrated consciousness of the Disaster group was a sophisticated intelligence formed by all the Calamity Gods. To harness Chu Wang Shu’s potential, they had to preserve her soul and coexist perfectly.

Therefore, if the Disaster group was regarded as a council, Chu Wang Shu must be granted a seat as a member, naturally allowing her a voice.

It was just like usual; thirteen voices could silence her. Now that three were gone, she gained more autonomy.

“It’s so noisy! Why are you so angry? As if I had killed your father. Isn’t it better to be with us? Reaching the Sovereign Lord is an opportunity that cannot be found in endless eons.”

“You ask if, after reaching the Sovereign Lord, I can resurrect her? Of course, I can’t lie to you. Even the Sovereign Lord cannot resurrect those embraced by the Void.”

“You want me to leave this world? Impossible! Only by devouring the stars can the system, concept, and possibilities of magical girls be completely stripped away, better aiding you in growing into the new Calamity God. Hmm—how about the codename ‘witch’?”

“You will surpass us. Isn’t that enough? You are truly hard to please.”

The girl’s eyes sometimes displayed scales, sometimes overflowed with seeds, then returned to coldness. The wills of the ten Calamity Gods and Chu Wang Shu intertwined wildly.

That turmoil surged like a tsunami, threatening to drown the cosmos and extinguish the heat death’s sorrow. It was like a sharp blade piercing through countless powers’ protection, overturning the consciousness of the Disaster group with endless, unceasing pain, almost suffocating it.

This was a poison called humanity, dragging the lofty gods from their thrones as if to ignite nonexistent emotional mechanisms with the suffering of the mortal world as the price for eternal possession.

“Blood relatives, emotions that cannot be understood.”

The consciousness of the sunflower controlled her body. With a headache, she desperately suppressed that girl, sneering:

“How ridiculous, I actually feel sorrow.”

Though this fragment of emotion could not destroy the Disaster group, nor control it, and would eventually dissipate like dust, easily expelled, it still signaled a reality.

That is, after this one’s death, Chu Wang Shu’s soul, through immense stimulation and emotion, had grown to an incredible degree, even to the point of being able to use the human concept of the Son of Mankind to reverse-erode the Disaster group.

No wonder she was her daughter; truly… a terrifyingly excessive potential.

“Forget it. Attempting to borrow a great miracle will inevitably come at a cost.”

“But it doesn’t matter. So what if you devour her?”

Chu Wang Shu would only become the new Disaster group, then be assimilated by the Disaster group’s instincts, continuing to chase after nourishment and destroying more worlds of happiness and beauty until ascending to the Sovereign Lord.

And for the Disaster group, who the subject was never mattered.

This time, they finally won.

The girl turned away indifferently and headed for the planet. She wanted to devour the entire world before Chu Wang Shu truly matured.

But…

In that cold and dim universe, a pure and immaculate radiance suddenly flickered. With the first glimmer of light, a chain reaction that shook the cosmos and covered the universe was completely ignited.

In that instant, countless lights began to blaze!

It was Chu Yuanqing’s Lantern Gem.

At this moment, that broken Lantern Gem, unable to be restored and scattered into countless particles, used the universe as its stage and the world as its audience to weave the melody of the Pure White Ode, letting a familiar voice sing softly—

—“Full Bloom,” “Full Power Mode,” “[Scatterflowers].”

Chu Yuanqing’s power as the savior had been entirely exhausted.

But the power as a magical girl had not yet been fully used. Before realizing her imminent disappearance, she used her last remaining consciousness to burn the final chip, exchanging it for a complete performance of the Pure White Ode.

Thus, with magic as the carrier, miracles responded. The past swallowed by the Void was once again sung in voice, an epic of salvation that wrote a brilliant and undying trajectory across the universe. Even the stars whispered mournfully, composing an angry concerto.

Chu Yuanying and Chu Yuanqing were both dead.

Yet at this moment, the Pure White Ode, drawn from her lifetime, expended all idealistic miracles, briefly extracting the obsession with salvation and that trace of love belonging to her father, crystallizing into a reflection that could only exist for an instant.

How splendid, how sacred.

The Pure White Witch was born from the Void. Her flowing hair sparkled in the starlight, her ever-burning fiery eyes bowed downward. The illusory Levatin condensed once more. Even death could not stop her as she pointed her sword at the Disaster group, embarking on her final journey.
