The Xuanyuan Sword, which had been gathering momentum for a long time, swung out with the greatest force it had ever created. The bright sword energy completely illuminated the entire space. Only the dark light on the mysterious man's chest could still be seen in outline.
"Ahhhhhhhh!!"
The mysterious man who was swallowed up by the sword energy roared angrily: "It's not over yet! Do you think you can defeat me like this!"
"Of course not."
Lu Xiao's calm voice sounded, and his figure suddenly appeared in front of the mysterious man.
Seizing the God-killing Spear from the mysterious man whose body was riddled with holes, Lu Xiao poured divine power into the gun to supplement the God-killing technique.
"My final blow is here!"
Holding the body of the God-killing Spear with both hands, Lu Xiao delivered the final swift thrust to the mysterious man.
"Bah!"
The vermilion gun tip pierced the mysterious man's chest, and the dark purple light was penetrated and hit the boundary of the confined space heavily.
"Ugh!"
Without the blessing of the artifact, the mysterious man's severely injured body immediately began to collapse.
A wisp of black smoke escaped from the broken body, trying to re-enter the bulky tower monster.
Lu Xiao, who was well prepared, could not let this happen. When the mysterious man's "soul" was about to penetrate the monster's body, the tower monster that lost its driving core was exiled to a different space by Lu Xiao.
"Damn it!"
The illusory soul was spinning angrily in the air, but it was fearfully avoiding Lu Xiao's range of action.
The dark purple light that was knocked away was recovered from the boundary of space. This disembodied shimmering light immediately changed when it fell into Lu Xiao's hands.
The disturbing deep purple color quickly dissipated, replaced by a faint golden light that gave people hope, just like when Lu Xiao first saw it.
"Um?"
Lu Xiao was shocked to find that the light beam was absorbing his divine power, expanding the scope of the irradiation, and soon covering it with black smoke.
"No!!"
The black smoke finally let out an unwilling roar and disappeared under the purification of light.
A small golden ball appeared in mid-air where the black smoke was originally, and a faint light shone on the surface of the ball.
A very weak voice came from the ball: "Inheritor Lu Xiao, congratulations on passing my test and ending the regrets I left many years ago."
Lu Xiao walked up to the light ball with a beam of light in his hand and said, "Can you tell me the truth now? Who are you, and what happened to that guy just now?"
"Okay, but I don't have much time. Let's keep the story short."
The ball of light organized the language: "My name is Xinghe. I was once revered as the father of all things and the master of the galaxy by the trillions of residents of the multiverse."
"I think you have basically guessed the whole story."
"It is true that I sent the Inheritor's guidance program, but you are not the first Inheritor to be tested."
Lu Xiao shrugged: "I think so. You should have gone through many trials and errors and adjustments."
"The most important question is, why did you do this? Is it because of the impostor who has taken over your soul and body?"
"Ha~"
Xinghe laughed at himself: "That's not a fake, but another me."
"oh?"
"Don't get me wrong, it's not the split personality you imagined, but the half of my soul that accepted all my negative emotions."
Through such impressive names as Lord of the Galaxy and Father of All Things in the Multiverse, Lu Xiao could guess what a glorious history this boss had.
It's not that Lu Xiao is not interested in knowing why he ended up like this, but time doesn't allow for it.
The golden ball of light representing the core of Galaxy's soul is gradually fading away, and none of the missionaries can save his rapidly passing soul.
"My detailed experience would be too long to describe."
A small transparent light spot separated from the golden ball of light: "This is the memory residue I copied. If you are interested, you can take the time to take a look."
"Time is running out, let's get back to business."
Xinghe's voice became increasingly hollow: "A shocking incident that year gave me boundless negative emotions. In order to continue to fulfill my responsibility of managing the multiverse, I separated these negative emotions and sealed them in the deepest part of my soul.
"
"It turns out that escaping is useless."
"The less I want to touch him, the stronger the dark emotions in my heart become, catalyzing the birth of a negative soul with two sides in one body."
"You should have guessed what happened next. Souls with the same origin began a long internal fight, and each side consumed most of the other's abilities."
"Lu Xiao, the reason why you were able to defeat my negative soul is, on the one hand, because countless years of internal friction have worn away most of my strength, and on the other hand, it is also because I have been holding him back."
"Hey~"
Xinghe sighed with mixed emotions, leaving only the last residue of the golden ball of light.
"The time is almost up."
"Lu Xiao, you are the only one among the 54,251,090 candidate inheritors of the multiverse who have passed the complete test. The future of the multiverse... is in your hands."
"The light in your hand is called the original light of creation."
"Because the two selves are competing for each other, the light of creation switches back and forth between light and dark states. The current state is not ideal."
"I have recorded the specific temperature maintenance and usage methods. You can study it slowly later."
"Having time, space, soul and refinement ability at the same time, as long as you have the assistance of the light of creation, sooner or later you can grow into a qualified manager of the universe, and even create your own family of faith."
"Remember not to follow in my footsteps."
As the last bit of the golden ball of light dissipated, Xinghe sighed in relief: "Finally, I can go and accompany her..."
…
"boom!"
When Lu Xiao broke through the space barrier set up by Black Galaxy, the battle at the end of the world was still going on.
The monsters all over the planet did not stop their actions because of the death of the galaxy. Without the restraint of the galaxy, their action patterns became more violent.
More than 20 gods have formed a formation and switched from offense to defense. Facing hundreds of thousands of monsters, the gods are beginning to feel powerless.
"Hold on! Large-scale reinforcements from multiple world organizations are coming. As long as you hold on for a few more hours..."
The suddenly brightening sky blocked the second half of a man in black robes who could not finish his sentence. The powerful soul fluctuations that swept through all the gods made them unconsciously tremble.
"This is……"
Yongzhen and Tamamozae looked in surprise at the direction where Lu Xiao disappeared before. Fenrir, whose body was scarred and exhausted, also had a look of expectation in his eyes.
"I see, that's how it's used."
Lu Xiao thoughtfully held up the light of creation in his hand.
According to Xinghe's memory description, it was the first beam of light at the birth of the multiverse, and was made into a cosmic-level artifact by Xinghe, who later transformed.
Even though it is far from being restored to its best condition, the Light of Creation still plays a huge role under the infusion of Lu Xiao's large amount of divine power and soul power.
The soft light spreading out with Lu Xiao as the center swept across the world in just one second.
All the affected monsters were shattered by the impact of Lu Xiao's soul power attached to the light, leaving large pieces of useless bodies to fall to the ground.
All the gods present could feel the power of a higher level from this soft light, and unanimously turned their gazes to Lu Xiao, who was floating in mid-air and continued to shine.
"A new steward of the universe is born."
The Sword Immortal looked solemnly while stroking his beard and whispered: "I wonder how this manager will treat our world..."
Lu Xiao has not thought so far yet, and he has not yet adapted to the new identity that was suddenly passed to him by Xinghe.
The highest godhead of the galaxy is hidden within the light of creation. At the same time as he was bound to the light of creation, Lu Xiao naturally took over his responsibility as the manager of the universe.
"Manager...?"
Lu Xiao scratched his head helplessly: "Forget it, Xinghe wouldn't keep an eye on each world at all times anyway. Let's find time to fully understand the power of the Light of Creation and restore its original power. And..."
"System, is it still there?"
System: "Here, master, please give me your instructions."
"Ha~" The corners of Lu Xiao's mouth raised crazily: "Changed the name? It's really a changing of the times."
"It just so happens that you, Consus, and Aletheia will work together to retrieve the memory and experience of the galaxy and help me write an automated multiverse auxiliary management system."
"You don't need to notify me for big things. If something happens that could endanger the world, then issue an alarm. I will handle it as appropriate."
System: "Yes, please obey the master's orders."
Lu Xiao: "...Your attitude changed too quickly, that's fine."
Catching Yongzhen who fell into his arms, Lu Xiao gently hugged her soft body: "I'm sorry for making you worry so much. From now on we can truly live a free life."
Yongzhen smiled and rubbed his cheek affectionately against the side of Lu Xiao's face: "It doesn't matter what kind of life I live, as long as I have you by my side, I will be satisfied."
"Ugh~" Tamamo-mae covered her mouth jokingly and snickered: "It's too disgusting."
"By the way...Supreme God, can you give me some entertainment equipment?"
Tamamozama deliberately winked at Lu Xiao in front of Yongzhen: "If you satisfy me, maybe I can give you some benefits~"
Lu Xiao's eyes flashed and she complained: "You can do whatever you want, as long as you don't have anything to do to prank me."
Fenrir shook his head helplessly: "Ouch~ (hopeless lazy guy)"
…
To the immortal gods, the passage of time is unimportant.
The first thing the new universe manager does after he is born is to straighten out the chaotic overlapping spaces of the Lost Lands and reintegrate this sealed universe into the multiverse.
The residents of the Lost Lands who had been locked away in their respective worlds for countless years were dispersed by Lu Xiao and distributed to all corners of the multiverse to reduce the density of the existence of gods within a unit area as much as possible and create a better space for mortals to grow.
By reading the remaining memories of Xinghe, Lu Xiao found the long-lost Goddess of the Gods in the fourth dimension that originally existed in the Lost Land.
Hundreds of years have passed since the liberation of the Lost Land, and the once abandoned God's Throne has regained its former prosperity.
Yongzhen, who was wearing a gorgeous divine queen attire, walked elegantly in front of Lu Xiao, who was looking at a certain world in ecstasy.
"Aren't father and mother still unwilling to immigrate here?"
Withdrawing his concerned gaze, Lu Xiao, who was originally quite majestic, smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"They are more accustomed to life in the main world. Let them stay there and help manage the operation of the world. It can also be considered as finding something for them to do."
"By the way, where is Xiaoyu?"
Yongzhen replied helplessly: "I went to a newly discovered world of technology to look for new games, but 80% of them will still come back without success."
"Forget it, let her be."
After touching Fenrir's soft fur lying next to the throne, Lu Xiao raised his head and looked at the light of creation hanging above the throne.
"Hundreds of years have gone by with just a snap of a finger. I also said that if you have a good auxiliary management system, you can make money. I didn't expect that cheater in Galaxy left so much mess."
Yongzhen massaged Lu Xiao's shoulders gently: "I'm done with my work, how about... let's find a new world to sneak out and play?"
“Great idea!”
Lu Xiao changed out of her complicated dress and returned to the fighting spirit she once wore.
"Fenrir, let's go, just in time to catch that lazy guy Xiaoyu."
