Master of Monster Synthesis-Chapter 741 - 379: Survive or Perish (Grand Finale)_3
"Don't worry, Master, I, Old Pig, have full faith in your talents..." Zhu Bajie eagerly flattered Tang Sanzang.
Ahead of them, Sun Wukong sniffed the air and caught a whiff of demon energy. He turned back and barked, "Idiot, stay alert. There's a monster nearby, stop with the flattery."
Zhu Bajie scoffed nonchalantly, "Horses' Fortune, with Old Pig protecting Master here, which clueless monster would dare to snatch him from Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy?"
Qin Shou smirked inwardly and chimed in, "That's right. You, silly monkey, always love overthinking things. With Bajie by my side, there's nothing to worry about."
"By the way, I'm quite hungry. Go fetch some vegetarian meals for me."
Sun Wukong's face darkened as he realized Qin Shou was ignoring his warning and even ordering him to go begging for food. Rage boiled within him.
But he glanced up at the tightening spell on his head, and with no other choice, he gave a disgruntled snort and leapt high into the clouds.
Seeing this, Zhu Bajie gave Qin Shou a thumbs-up and chuckled, "Hehe, Master sure is impressive. Just a couple of words and you've subdued that Horses' Fortune completely."
Qin Shou rubbed his bald head and said with a grin, "Of course, I am, after all, the Tang Sanzang personally appointed by Buddha to retrieve the scriptures from the West..."
Mid-sentence, the space around Qin Shou began to shift, and in the blink of an eye, he was transported out of the Journey to the West World and into the vast universe.
"Oh, you've actually pulled it off?" Lin Lang stood there smirking as he eyed the bald Qin Shou.
Qin Shou rolled his eyes and replied, "Just say what you need to say quickly. If I'm gone too long, that old monk will sense something's off."
Lin Lang nodded and led Qin Shou to the edge of the universe.
At this moment, the edge of the universe was no longer a chaotic void.
The scene was a desolate, ancient land where colossal ancient giant beasts fought and reproduced.
"Roar..."
A dragon-headed giant tortoise opened its massive mouth, swallowing a star in the universe within seconds.
Qin Shou's eyebrows twitched slightly as he remarked, "So, this is the ancient existence you said would destroy everything? Looks pretty weak to me."
Lin Lang gave a bitter smile, "Don't be fooled by appearances. These ancient beings possess an impervious physical form, immune to the Power of Laws, the causal forces of time, and even the Heavenly Dao Power. Our strength is utterly useless against them."
Qin Shou's heart trembled, "Immune to the causal forces of time? If that's the case, then our power against them..."
Lin Lang sighed helplessly, "Exactly. Not just us, even if there were a hundred or a thousand Ultimate Destiny beings, none would be able to harm them.
My guess is that these giant beasts are merely the vanguard. The true ancient beings have yet to awaken."
Qin Shou's expression darkened, "Does that mean there's no hope left?"
"If things proceed as expected, then yes," Lin Lang replied with a sigh.
If these beasts are left unchecked, the universe will eventually be devoured completely.
"Qin Shou, you..."
Turning his head, Lin Lang discovered that Qin Shou had vanished. Just a few seconds later, Qin Shou reappeared in front of him.
"Where did you go?"
"Went to try something."
"Well? Did it work? Do you have a plan?" Lin Lang's gaze lit up with hope.
Qin Shou shrugged, "No plan."
Lin Lang: "..."
In the next moment, Qin Shou changed course and added, "Just because we don't have a solution doesn't mean others don't."
"Go on, what's your idea?" Lin Lang asked.
Qin Shou stroked his chin, his expression serious.
"From my test earlier, I think maybe the elders were wrong.
These ancient beings might not solely represent destruction but could very well be a form of rebirth!
The appearance of these monsters might bring both disaster and opportunity to the countless living beings in the universe.
Whether humanity survives will depend entirely on their own choices."
Lin Lang furrowed his brows, "What exactly do you mean?"
Qin Shou took a deep breath and said, "Let's take a gamble!"
"But don't we already lack a fourth Ultimate Destiny being for the gamble?"
"Having an Ultimate Destiny being doesn't matter. What we need is a communicator!"
"A communicator?" Lin Lang's mind began to work, hope glinting in his eyes.
"You mean..."
"Exactly!"
Qin Shou turned back to gaze in Earth's direction, his eyes filled with love and lingering attachment.
"Since we can't protect humanity, we'll have to let humanity find its own way."
"Let's hope they don't make the wrong choices..." Qin Shou sighed lightly.
Human greed and desire...
Lin Lang patted Qin Shou's shoulder and confidently smiled, "Don't worry. I have faith in them."
"The future will surely be in humanity's hands!"
To survive, or face destruction...

The End.
