Mortals had their own limits. Gods were bound by their realms. Divine power was categorized into tiers—Tiny, Weak, Moderate, Powerful, and Great. Mortals dream of igniting divine fire, acquiring divinity, and wielding authority to define their existence.
Yet, these were merely the basics of becoming a god.
The journey of divinity was long and arduous.
Even the God of Light, who had ruled the magical world for countless millennia, only attained moderate divinity. At the time of his death, he was consumed with regret for not ascending to the rank of a powerful god.
But now, the gods of the infinite planes no longer concern themselves with promotion.
The chaos brought by Krisha Kristina has signaled the twilight of the gods. A witch who defies divine authority has risen, wandering through the chaos and bringing death to all gods indiscriminately.
“How dare you challenge the majesty of the divine!”
“I am the king of the ancient gods! None have dared to kill me since the dawn of time!”
“You devil! You walk the path of your own destruction!”
They united to hunt the witch, chasing her into the chaotic void. Yet, no matter how many times they pursued or wounded her, Krisha returned stronger each time.
Years passed in the timeless chaos. The infinite planes of existence became scarred and fragmented, bearing the marks of her battles with the gods. Ultimately, the witch emerged victorious.
She absorbed the authority of the Chaos Gods, consolidating the concepts of order and disorder within herself. Only a handful of benevolent gods were spared, and from then on, the worlds sang her praises.
The age of the gods had ended. The Supreme One had risen. Immortal. Singular. Omniscient. Omnipotent. Creator and destroyer.
Krisha stood atop the corpses of fallen gods, indifferent to the crown offered by the worlds. She waited. She would always wait.
“Master, I will always wait for you.”
“Always and forever.”
Her voice, soft and resolute, echoed through the chaos. Time and space bent at her fingertips. Memories materialized—fragments of her life with Xu Xi. Immersed in these echoes, she clung to their false warmth.
Even with supreme mastery over time and space, she knew she could not bring Xu Xi back. So, the ever-obedient Krisha chose to wait. For the next day, the next year, or the next era, she would wait.
“Master.”
“Eternal life seems… not so bad.”
“At least it gives me another chance to meet you.”
Krisha, frozen forever at the age of 17, sat quietly in the boundless chaos. Time did not pass for her. The brilliant crowns offered by countless worlds lingered behind her, unclaimed and shattered. They symbolized her undeniable supremacy, but she had no need for them to define her worth.
In the real world, Xu Xi lay on the sofa, still worrying about Krisha.
“I hope that after I’m gone, that kid Krisha will know how to take care of herself. Even if she can’t defeat the gods, she should at least know how to escape quickly.”
“With her talent, as long as she has enough time, she should be able to stand on her own.”
His thoughts were interrupted by the familiar chime of the simulator.
[Ding! Second simulation statistics completed]

“So many achievements?” Xu Xi murmured, surprised. The first simulation had only yielded four achievements, but now there were six.
“Having more achievements is always a good thing. It means a higher settlement evaluation.”
He pondered over what might have happened after his death.
The end of the gods?
A witch rising to power?
His curiosity deepened.
“The gods extinguished, the Supreme reigning… Could Krisha have done all that after my death?”
His concerns for the witch began to dissipate.
The achievements alone proved that Krisha had surpassed all expectations, carving a legacy that even the gods revered.
He turned his attention back to the simulation panel.
[Simulation summary: You maximized your talents, becoming the strongest Holy Domain Magister in human history. Although you failed to transcend mortality and become a god, your death paved the way for the birth of the Supreme God, earning you the reverence of countless worlds.]

“Four choices this time? The evaluation must have improved from S- to S.”
His gaze lingered on the options. Each held immense value, and he weighed them carefully. The memories of his time with Krisha flashed through his mind as he prepared to make his decision.
