Only the gods and the stars still revere the eternal night and the sun.
Until the sun set.
The original Li Hui was born from the firelight lit by the stars and the blood of the gods that turned into firewood. Although she possessed humanity, she was too indifferent.
When she realized that the world no longer needed her as the sun, she resolutely chose to end her life with the eternal night, with a smile.
However, after Li Hui's death, the leader of the stars secretly did something, intercepting the last rays of the setting sun and placing them into the creature she favored, namely the witch.
So strictly speaking, Li Hui is actually much older than Jiang Kehan; she is truly the older sister.
However, because the process of Yu Hui transforming into a witch was too long, she was born in this era and fell into self-torture.
The leader of the stars who could have guided Li Hui is dead. The vast starry sky has become a shadow of the past. After countless gods fought, only a very few remained, and they all chose to no longer interfere in the world, turning into cold sculptures.
Only Zhu Zhi, this unconventional deity, would occasionally wander off to other places.
Jiang Kehan opened her eyes, feeling a bit swollen in her head. Although she had only briefly looked through Li Hui's memories, this information was enough to resolve many of her doubts.
For example, why is Li Hui's magical property both rebirth and annihilation?
Because the setting sun and the eternal night are indistinguishable, they coexist with a sinister grin amidst their entanglement.
For example, what exactly is the realm above the Great Witch, and what are the realms of the Great Ones?
Whether you call them gods or stars, it's just a name. In essence, they are completely free from the control of worldly shackles. Within the witch community, they prefer to be called the Witch of the End.
However, these are clearly not things we should be investigating now; the real danger is still around them.
Zhu Zhi didn't disturb the two of them, but instead stroked her chin expectantly.
Jiang Kehan knew without guessing what she was thinking. Zhu Zhi was trying to figure out whether Li Hui was the sunset of the past or something else.
After all, the Li Hui of the past would never have cried, much less have granted anyone's wish.
But Jiang Kehan couldn't bring herself to smile.
Because Li Hui's strength is gradually dissipating as she returns to her identity as a witch, she can probably only maintain the strength of the Witch of the End for about three minutes.
In other words, she and Li Hui must defeat each other within three minutes.
To make matters worse, Li Hui is not good at fighting now. She is still struggling with her past memories and can only offer Jiang Kehan some blessings.
It's terrible, yet it doesn't seem so bad.
Jiang Kehan sighed softly, looked at Li Hui who was winking at her, and helplessly got up, glancing at her sideways.
"You promised to come and save me when I crushed the necklace, but you've ended up like this yourself, and I have to save you first."
"You really can't live without me, Li Hui."
Li Hui smiled gently and wiped away the tears from Jiang Kehan's eyes. However, it was clear that Jiang Kehan had already emerged from her grief, was full of fighting spirit, and even had the mood to joke.
"So please continue to protect me, my dear wife."
"I always feel like you're setting some kind of flag, but who can blame me for being greedy enough to pull the gods from heaven to my side and not wanting to let go."
Jiang Kehan looked at Li Hui intently, a smile she couldn't suppress showing.
"I really, really saved you. All my efforts were worth it. I'm so lucky."
No, this is by no means luck... Li Hui looked at her, wanting to correct her. She had already felt how much Jiang Kehan had sacrificed and how much she should have had to endure.
It was Jiang Kehan who truly saved Li Hui.
But looking at the beautiful woman before him, Li Hui spoke with doting affection.
"Yes, you are so lucky, so please carry my luck with you and keep going."
Li Hui took Jiang Kehan's hand, and with a slightly distressed smile, pulled her into his arms.
A much stronger and gentler power than the cat-ball possession state that Jiang Kehan had just imagined began to flow into her body, like a gentle stream, yet carrying the vastness of the deep sea, proclaiming love and submission.
Jiang Kehan experienced the magical properties of "rebirth" once again, but this time, she also experienced Li Hui's most iconic property of "annihilation".
Jiang Kehan even found that her brain suddenly became much more agile, and details that had been previously ignored began to become clear. Everything around her fell into her control, and she even went a step further.
A certain irrational inspiration revealed what the future might look like, allowing her to foresee Zhu Zhi's upcoming actions.
As for how to grasp the immense power of the Witch of the End?
Isn't that something you can do just by relying on instinct?
Is this Li Hui's usual state...? Jiang Kehan was momentarily dazed, her lips twitching involuntarily.
This is too perverted!
As expected of my lover... Jiang Kehan proudly puffed out her chest, then gently placed the closed-eyed Li Hui beside her and gazed at the restless Zhu Zhi.
Some things need to be brought to a close.
Chapter 434 So-called pleasure should yield to happiness
Zhu Zhi looked at Jiang Kehan, who was on high alert, and suddenly smiled.
"So, if I capture you, I can control the sunset, right?"
"She is not a sunset, she has her own name."
A sharp sword appeared in Jiang Kehan's hand, her face looking ferocious.
"She is my love, Li Hui!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Jiang Kehan appeared in front of Zhu Zhi. As the other woman's gaze grew increasingly surprised, a sharp sword slashed across Zhu Zhi's eye, drawing out translucent blood.
"So, even the Shenlin Wayi Sanlin (8) 侕. Yue-Yi Ming can bleed."
"I thought you were really no match for me."
With a mocking laugh mixed with a threatening venting, Jiang Kehan escaped Zhu Zhi's attack range, leaving behind a sarcastic voice, but the anger in her words was even more prominent.
Zhu Zhi silently touched her wound, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes. She looked up at Jiang Kehan, who was floating in mid-air, and her smile became exceptionally sincere.
"Oh? Not bad, little girl. But the sunset will not submit to anyone, whether it is a god or the stars."
Zhu Zhi shrugged, making a creaking sound as if she were stretching her body. Originally, she could only unleash the power of the third stage of the Great Witch, but now she had truly stepped into the realm of the End Witch.
It could even be considered a truly great-level combat force.
She didn't like using any weapons, but instead charged straight at Jiang Kehan, her movements abrupt and bloody, her slender fists radiating a deadly aura.
Neither of them cared about their surroundings. Once they truly entered the realm of the Witch of the End, they would realize that the Witch of the End had transcended the entire world. With just a slight thought, they could step into another completely different "space".
Although they seem to still be fighting in the world, the power they unleash no longer touches reality, but endlessly pursues the enemy until they are obliterated or killed.
After all, reality is too fragile; the slightest influence will cause it to revert to its initial state of nothingness, devoid of any vitality.
On the battlefield at this moment, both of them had things they cared about, and their eyes were only on each other. They were too lazy to waste their energy to disrupt reality.
"I already told you, she is Li Hui!"
Jiang Kehan raised her sharp blade to block Zhu Zhi's fist. An invisible annihilation enveloped her, carrying a silent judgment, wanting to devour her completely.
The primordial gods and the witches who relied on instinct to kill their enemies actually fell into a state resembling hand-to-hand combat.
But the ever-increasing will gave rise to a gradually ferocious laugh.
"Is that so?" Zhu Zhi said jokingly, then turned slightly to the side and bowed as if placing her hands in front of her chest, followed by a big smile!
"Then come and kill me. It's our instinct to chase the sunset, God."
"It is also the mission I deserve."
Countless phantoms of new and collapsing universes appeared all around. They had no concept of reincarnation, nor the protection of witches. They struggled in the insignificant and vented in the end, unwilling to die.
Soft laughter seemed to be everywhere, and Zhu Zhi's teasing gaze was like a kaleidoscope, observing these universes.
"This is what pleasure is all about."
And so, the world fell silent, like a prison, and Jiang Kehan was plunged into the end times.
Is pleasure really just this?
Jiang Kehan stared at Zhu Zhi's face, casually brandished her sword, silently counted the time, and spoke with a sneer.
Driven by Li Hui's instinctive actions, these collapsing universes seemed to get stuck, falling into Jiang Kehan's palm. They then reversed to a blank state, enveloping the potentially fatal annihilation and sending it back to Zhu Zhi's side.
Looking at the blank spots around her, Zhu Zhi's smile faded slightly, and then she looked at Jiang Kehan with a cold expression.
"So-called joy is loneliness."
Then, these blank spots began to fade until the annihilation within suddenly erupted, tearing through Zhu Zhi's skin and revealing the inner "galaxy" radiating silver light.
She couldn't stop the annihilation from harming her, but she avoided most of it.
Jiang Kehan stared at the other person and exhaled a breath of stale air.
If we rely solely on this level of attrition warfare, there will definitely not be enough time left, so... we must be more aggressive!
Jiang Kehan charged at Zhu Zhi again, intending to engage in close combat with her.
The power of annihilation is always more suitable for killing than what the opponent shows. Even though Jiang Kehan's power is slightly inferior to Zhu Zhi's, her level of threat is greater.
Strangely, Zhu Zhi did not dodge, but instead reached out with some regret and placed her hand in front of Jiang Kehan's cheek.
"Pleasure is the unattainable desire, the illusion of its arrival."
The sword that was originally embedded in Zhu Zhi's body was forcefully pushed in by Jiang Kehan, going even deeper, but Jiang Kehan's face showed no joy, only surprise.
She slowly lowered her gaze and discovered that her body, like the other person's, was pierced by something invisible, and even white light was emanating from within.
Perhaps the only difference is that the annihilation stirring within Zhu Zhi's body is pitch black.
"Perhaps you are right, joy is inherently fragile, but things worthy of joy are inherently so luxurious, so... full of regret."
Zhu Zhi chuckled and slapped Jiang Kehan hard across the face.
"That's why I'm jealous of you, Jiang Kehan."
A thunderclap swept across Riemann, and fragments of the portal, along with cracks, replaced the fallen leaves in their place, igniting this false history.
"I envy your courage, your stubbornness, and your restless heart."
Zhu Zhi closed her eyes, completely embracing the other person in her arms. Then, she became indifferent, mobilizing her true power and surging towards Jiang Kehan. It seemed romantic, but in reality, it was full of murderous intent.
She knew she couldn't escape the annihilation of the setting sun, nor did she want to escape—she had been trying to escape for far too long.
"For example, when Li Hui appeared before me, I only dared to gaze at her quietly, without even having the courage to touch her."
