This endless world

——Win.

——Win completely.

Watching the sea tiger turn into fragments and disappear with the wind like every magnetic field strongman who died in this world before, leaving no trace, and even in the void, he could not sense the other party's breath. Zheng Zha seemed to put down all the burdens and let out a long breath.

Release, liberation, catharsis... Zheng Zha's heart was full of mixed feelings. Although the process was difficult, despite the twists and turns, despite the wounds all over his body, and even most of his body had turned into nothingness, Zheng Zha still persisted to the end and won the battle... The strong man from the main god space outside the world defeated the most brutal, the most powerful, and the most domineering ultimate sea tiger, and laughed to the last moment.

To be fair, this battle with the ultimate sea tiger was the most dangerous battle Zheng Zha had ever faced. Even Zhang Jie in Final Destination, the clone Zheng Zha who killed him twice in Resident Evil 2, and the non-face who consumed more than a thousand life causal points of Chu Xuan were not comparable.

No matter how powerful the enemies were in the past, or how dangerous the situation was, Zheng Zha had reliable teammates fighting alongside him, and he was used to Yang Yun's command, Chu Xuan's analysis, Zhan Lan's mental scan, and the help of many partners.

Zheng Zha's past victories were inseparable from his teammates, and this long-lost battle alone was really a brand new experience... Fortunately, in this fist-to-fist, eye-to-eye one-on-one collision of real men, Zheng Zha finally broke through in desperation and had a superior skill.

"This feeling of being forced to break through by relying on one's own strength between life and death is really long-lost..."

The aftermath of the two people's fist fight destroyed countless billions of miles of space, turning the stars and even the universe into a blank, but the repair ability of the "world" is ultimately extremely powerful. In just a few minutes, the surrounding vacuum was completely filled, and Zheng Zha hurriedly used his new ability to absorb energy from the universe and repair his body.

The dried-up body was refilled with energy, and the lost flesh and blood began to regenerate rapidly. Zheng Zha, who had grown a new body, even had the leisure to make a set of clothes for himself to cover his masculine body.

The man moved his arms and legs, feeling the condition of his body, thinking.

——By the way, do I think I have understood the "energy" of the four elements?

The way to repair the body is not the reorganization of cells in the rotation of the magnetic field, but the ability to control the four elements. Zheng Zha had long heard Yang Yun talk about the fourth and fifth stages, that is, the difference between the so-called "saints" and "immortals". In addition to the difference in the nature of life and the sublimation of basic factors, the biggest difference is the "energy" of the four elements, that is, from the beginning of the flesh and blood, to the direction of "I will not perish if the heaven and earth do not perish".

Since then, Zheng Zha has already understood three of the four elements of earth, fire, water and wind, namely "time", "space" and the "energy" he just mastered... Only the last and most difficult "matter" has not been cultivated yet.

-Alas, I don't count on the "immortal" on the road of cultivation. It's better for me to go on the road of gene lock. I remember Yang Yun said before that to become a saint, you not only need to get rid of obsessions and cut off the self, master the power of one of the four elements, but also need something called "holy position"...

-Logically speaking, with my current strength, I should have been able to launch an attack on the fifth level a long time ago. After all, there are also people who have achieved the fifth level of immortals just by understanding the way of time. As a result, there is not even a little movement now... I don't know what's going on. Could it be that if there is no holy position on my head, I will be stuck at the advanced fourth level?

Although his strength was many times higher than that of a regular fourth-order advanced warrior, Zheng Zha, who was still in this state, sighed and decided to ask Yang Yun for details after returning to the main god space... But before he could fully comprehend the experience and understanding of this battle, he seemed to feel something and turned his head to look to the side.

And there, Bai Wunan and Sha Antian, who had watched the entire battle between Zheng Zha and the Ultimate Sea Tiger, were walking side by side.

"Do you want to fight again?"

Looking at the two people in front of him who had no consumption at all and whose momentum was even much stronger than when they first met, Zheng Zha frowned, raised his right hand that had just been repaired and clenched it into a fist, and shook his fist at them: "If you want to fight me now, then come on."

"Don't even mention three days, even if it's another thirty or three hundred days, I will definitely accompany you."

- This is a lie.

Although Zheng Zha achieved a breakthrough in a desperate situation and gained insight into the deep secrets of the Way of Energy, he has only just begun to understand the path. He still needs a lot of time and practice to completely integrate these new insights into his blood and transform them into his instincts, so that he can use them skillfully in fierce battles.

If he faces a weak opponent, it will be fine. Zheng Zha can still overpower him with force; however, when the opponent standing in front of him is of the same level, even a momentary flaw is enough to become the key to determining victory or defeat, and may even lead to fatal consequences.

Besides, Zheng Zha was seriously injured in the last fight with the Ultimate Sea Tiger. Even now that he was madly absorbing cosmic energy to heal himself, he still only recovered 75% of his combat power... On the other hand, the two people in front of him seemed to have upgraded on the spot. The energy fluctuations on their bodies were madly increasing in a way that Zheng Zha could not understand at all, and they were even slightly above the Ultimate Sea Tiger.

Zheng Zha, who had never cultivated magnetic field power from beginning to end and had never been infected by the unique power system of this universe, did not know that all this had a reason. Each of the ten ultimate masters had practiced hard for a long time. With such a long period of accumulation, their own souls were naturally powerful and the energy storage in their bodies was terrifying.

But there are gains and losses. After the magnetic field masters turned into fragments and died, their souls would be absorbed as "trophies" by the people who killed them, and the energy conversion efficiency would be completely intact. In addition to Bai Wunan, who has practiced for the longest time, Sha Antian and Ultimate Haihu have become so strong by absorbing the souls of Wuji, Sangxiong, and the righteous Bai Wunan (Shi Tianwu), and Guan Yuetong has sacrificed himself.

That is to say, Zheng Zha does not understand the power of magnetic field, and has not absorbed all his "trophies", which makes Bai Wunan and Sha Antian take advantage and upgrade on the spot... Zheng Zha, who did not realize this, secretly sighed that these magnetic field lunatics were unreasonable when they were cheating, and tried to deter the two of them, while quietly pressing the return button.

What? You said that running away when you can't beat them is not a hero? If you really can't beat them, you have to be stubborn and bury your life. It is a foolish act. Besides, Zheng Zha's purpose of returning this time has been achieved. Even if he returns to the main god space now, it is a perfect merit. At worst, he will return to this world again in the future and fight again.

"No, we don't mean that."

But what surprised Zheng Zha was that it was not Bai Wunan who spoke, but Sha Antian who had been looking at him with an inexplicable look since just now. The black-eyed man didn't say anything else, but he actually made it clear that he had no intention of being an enemy of Zheng Zha: "You fought with Haihu to protect the remaining humans in this universe... Now Haihu is dead, there is no hatred between us, so why should we fight?"

"Even since you did what I wanted to do but hesitated to do, and awakened my remaining 'humanity', I want to thank you."

As he said, Sha Antian actually bowed slightly to Zheng Zha to show respect.

"Uh..."

Zheng Zha has always been a soft-hearted person. If Sha Antian came up and shouted for fighting and killing, it would be fine. Now that the other party took the initiative to make his attitude clear, he didn't know what to say for a moment, so he had to look at Bai Wunan on the other side, revealing a questioning intention.

"Don't look at me, my friend. Since you have helped me to avoid a disaster, I am too happy to do anything to you."

Bai Wunan is a man who knows the situation. Seeing Zheng Zha's eyes turn away, he spoke in advance: "An Tian just told me your origin. Since you come from outside our universe, and you chose to reject the power of the magnetic field until the end, and defeated Hai Hu with your own strength, then the prize of this ultimate battle will be useless to you, and we have no reason to fight."

-So there is a prize for this battle? !

Hearing this, Zheng Zha, who only wanted to practice and find a strong man of the same level to have fun, was stunned.

It was not until then that Zheng Zha realized that what these crazy magnetic field guys were fighting for was not the title of "the strongest", but a real prize... Although this title is also quite useful.

In this way, the magnetic field power that Zheng Zha rejected from the beginning happened to be the "ticket" for this battle. His rash participation in this battle was like suddenly jumping out and beating up a contestant at the world's number one martial arts tournament, but not being able to collect the prize money because he didn't sign up; it was also like suddenly entering a Holy Grail war, winning all the way, but being unable to summon the Holy Grail because he wasn't a magician...

Not to mention the misunderstandings between the few people, since the other party had clearly expressed goodwill, Zheng Zha, who had not yet fully recovered, was naturally happy to be free. At the same time, his curiosity could not help but rise: "Then tell me, what will the final winner of this so-called ultimate battle get?"

"It's okay to tell you, it's 'time'."

Sha Antian replied calmly: "In other words, a power that transcends the limit and is difficult for us to imagine even now. With this power, it is possible to turn back time, revive the dead, evolve life at will, reorganize the lost soul, destroy the entire universe, and open it up again... All kinds of incredible powers will be in the hands of the winner."

"By then, he will become a real 'god'."

"...It sounds unreliable."

Hearing that Sha Antian boasted about the "power" as a prize, Zheng Zha immediately complained. In his opinion, there is no universal power system in this world... Well, maybe except for the gene lock.

Even if the winner of the ultimate battle can really do these things, he has only replaced the world will of this world and become the master of the plane of a shell universe.

Perhaps within the world, the winner of the ultimate battle can be omnipotent, but this power is both a reward and a shackle. If he goes to the outer plane, I am afraid that his power will be only one tenth of what it was. Unless this person is like Yang Yun, who can take the whole world into his body and use it as his energy source... but refining this real universe plane into his body is like a python swallowing an elephant, which is basically an impossible thing to do.

"Really? Actually, I think so too, and I am glad to agree with you."

Hearing that Zheng Zha was not deliberately belittling, but did not agree with this ultimate chicken-eating game from the bottom of his heart, Sha Antian's eyes showed a smile: "So, compared to the omnipotent ultimate power, I would rather call the winner's 'prize' a 'qualification'..."

"... a qualification to challenge the 'powerful' who controls the fate of all of us in the dark and has not yet appeared."

-So, who is the powerful?

Hearing a word he had never heard before, Zheng Zha, who had not watched the plot of "The Ultimate Sea Tiger Martial God" and only had a vague impression of the work "Martial God", was immediately dumbfounded.

But facing the confused Zheng Zha, Sha Antian did not explain to him, but suddenly asked a question that was inexplicable: "Speaking of which, I have one last question for you."

"Even at this point, you still have a deep recognition of those humans who are another kind of life from us... Or, the reason why you fought with Haihu is because you still regard yourself as a 'human' in your heart?"

...Human? !

Hearing this question, Zheng Zha has not answered yet, but Bai Wunan looked up in surprise.

It should be known that the ultimate strong is already very different from ordinary humans. Whether from the perspective of genes, physical strength, or the power they possess, the two are fundamentally different species, and this is even more so in Bai Wunan's opinion... In the era of the God of War 500,000 years ago, a strong man who killed 100,000 people could call himself a God of War, and the earth was in chaos and the strong preyed on the weak, which could be called a hellish scene.

In the past, Bai Wunan, as the emperor of the earth, could say, "If it weren't for my wisdom and great power, ordinary fools would still only live in the painful world of war in the past"; after that, the ultimate Bai Wunan, who had been reincarnated for 500,000 years and had seen the joys and sorrows of the world, and had experienced everything, did not recognize the so-called "human beings"...

Now, why did Sha Antian ask such a question?

"Of course!"

Faced with this strange question, Zheng Zha immediately answered without hesitation: "No matter what I become, I will always fight as a human being...I want to ask you one thing."

"No matter what, before you became a strong magnetic field person and embarked on the path of cultivation, you should also be human, right? Then why don't you identify with your origin after becoming stronger?"

...Yes, why?

Faced with Zheng Zha's most essential question, Bai Wunan was speechless. Although he was not the "human" in Zheng Zha's mouth, but an evil personality split from the real Bai Wunan; and he could also find thousands of reasons. For example, he saw the ugliness of human nature, so he was disappointed with humans, and so on... But in front of Zheng Zha's soul questioning, he could no longer say the words that came to his lips, leaving only a long sigh.

"So that's what you think."

Unlike Bai Wunan's reaction, Sha Antian nodded, as if he had gotten the answer he wanted, and he smiled at his old acquaintance who was both his enemy and friend, and smiled and closed his eyes: "Sorry, Wunan, I may disappoint you."

Accompanied by this incoherent sentence, the next moment, a feeling that Zheng Zha was very familiar with appeared from Sha Antian. That was the power he had mastered with great difficulty along the way, and it was also the source of his power to defeat the Ultimate Sea Tiger...

Gene lock!

The first stage of combat consciousness, the second stage of controlling muscles, the third stage of mastering the brain, and the fourth stage of controlling genes, accompanied by a dark spiritual light appearing on the man's body, and countless phantoms seemed to surround Sha Antian's body in a trance...

Zheng Zha, who was already numb, just watched the other party's realm soaring all the way, and finally reached the same fourth stage advanced as him before stopping!

"...Friend, is this your choice?"

Zheng Zha was still immersed in shock and had no time to come back to his senses, but Bai Wunan had already shifted his attention. Unable to overcome the barrier in his heart, and unable to put aside the pain of the past 500,000 years, Bai Wunan could only quietly stare at Sha Antian, the man who had opened up such a big gap with him for the first time, even more distant than when the dual-core heart Shura Dao defeated the seventh-level war god, and slowly said: "In the end, have you decided to stand on the side of humans?"

"Well, as I said, before becoming the ultimate strong man, or even the magnetic field strong man, we are still born as 'humans'... a kind of lifespan of only a hundred years, and we will die if injured. We looked down on and did not recognize it before, but we have to admit it at this ultimate moment. The identity of 'humans'."

Sha Antian, whose aura finally stabilized at the fourth-level advanced level, opened his eyes and said to Bai Wunan: "While watching just now, I recalled some things, some memories that I had forgotten for a long time."

As he spoke, the man looked up at the sky, gazing at an unknown place in the horizon, but indeed at the "mighty power" here, and said: "I want to see, not as the 'Benevolent Dark Emperor' Sha Antin, but as the 'Heavenly Leader' Bai Shounan who has recovered his memories, can I defy the manipulation of the mighty power and escape this fate that began with 'Tianwu'..."

"... and is destined to end with 'Tianwu'." (End of this chapter)
