The reason why Haihu is so strong is simply because this guy only knows 'love'! And this extreme emotion and extreme selfishness have given Haihu an incomparably terrifying and pure realm of power!

When selfishness reaches its extreme, it also becomes an absolutely noble ideology.

Therefore, driven by such absolute thought and realm, the strike that Haihu delivered could not be measured by any magnetic field power value!

A trillion? No, that's fucking much more than that number!

Driven by absolute love! Haihu's move instantly annihilated his body and soul!

Yes, absolute love requires the absolute annihilation of the self! Absolute self-destruction yields the power of an absolute strike!

But if there is no physical body and spirit, how can a 'life' exist?

He can still survive.

Life and primordial spirit—measuring the complete existence of a life by these things is also a way of thinking that cannot completely escape the shackles of life. For the strong who have stepped into this final stage, their 'existence' is 'life'.

The traces once etched deep within the universe, every piece of evidence that once existed vividly, the more dazzling and undeniable they are, the more they demonstrate the greatness of an existence!

So even if his physical body and spirit perish, he will still exist!

Therefore, Haihu's self-destructive power annihilated everything he had and wiped out everything Bai Junlang had!

What was gained in return was an absolutely supreme strike, a true, ineffable realm—

"Sea Tiger Explosive Fist!!!"

Faced with Haihu's deadly attack, how could the white-haired man possibly withstand it? How could he possibly withstand it?

Yes, he can do it!

He might not have the same extreme and pure 'love' as Haihu, and he might not be able to abandon everything and entrust his life to his selfish, absolute self like Haihu did.

But he is like the 'opposite' of Haihu. His selflessness earned him the help of the collective of great cosmic powers, and the thoughts and primordial spirits of these beings entrusted everything to him who was 'selfless'!

The first man also emptied his life and primordial spirit!

We don't need any of that! We don't need anything from the White-haired Man and Sha Antian!

He wanted everything, seemingly empty, to bear the weight of that thought, all living beings and things, the cycle of the universe, and even—the ultimate powerhouse!

In an instant, several figures appeared behind the first man!

Oga! Hell! Second son! Shocking! Thousands of troops! Baby! Blue eyes! Ancestor! King Kong... even darkness!

These things, which have engraved themselves in the universe and exist here as invisible life and primordial spirit, entrust everything to the chief man and gather in this absolutely selfless existence!

Entrust everything to the first man and go and defeat the absolutely selfish Sea Tiger!

This is the true 'Infinite War God'! The reliance of countless lives and beings in the universe grants this absolutely selfless individual the power to fight against absolute power!

An absolutely terrifying power—the power of selflessness!

And Haihu, he's definitely not a lonely person!

Behind the Sea Tiger appeared Hitomi Mizuki, their mother, the source of the Sea Tiger's 'love'!

No matter what, she is everything to Haihu, and Haihu is her greatest love. The source of love, everything selfish, she absolutely supports everything Haihu does!

And now, at this very moment, let absolute selfishness battle against absolute selflessness!

The power beyond all measurement dissipated completely as the light merged together.

Everything was swallowed up and then reshaped; time was accelerated; everything began to rotate; and the annihilation of life and death became blurred.

All things move from chaos to clarity, and then fall back into chaos from clarity, like an eternal cycle with no end in sight.

An unknown amount of time passed, and when Shou Nan and Hai Hu 'existed' again, they were no longer anywhere in the universe.

They were on an absolutely silent sea, at the absolute end of the universe.

Maintaining their fist-to-fist stance, they eternally flow at the end of this immeasurable time, until—

Click~~~

The first fragment slowly crumbled on the sea tiger's body, and then piece by piece, it went toward complete annihilation.

First man, won.

Selflessness triumphed over selfishness, just like last time.

The first man slowly withdrew his fist, seemingly unhappy. He gazed at the sea tiger before him and said softly.

"Father, why?"

"Because your mother and I have never been able to truly kill you from the bottom of our hearts."

Haihu spoke softly, releasing a small fragment of his soul before his existence completely shattered.

Those were fragments of Bai Wunan's soul.

Before the fight even began, Shou Nan had already realized this—Hai Hu hadn't completely killed his brother, nor had he truly killed Bai Wu Nan.

Perhaps only one fragment remains, or perhaps the Sea Tiger has absorbed all of his remaining power, but he still hasn't achieved that.

Why?

Because he is a father, because he is Guan Yue Tong's wife, and how could Hai Hu and Guan Yue Tong, as parents, truly bring themselves to kill their own child?

Even if it's for their own love, perhaps they simply cannot allow romantic love to rightfully override all their family ties.

Therefore, Haihu did not achieve true 'selfishness,' and thus, he was defeated by Shounan's absolute 'selflessness.'

"Shounan, we weren't good parents. Perhaps we'll have a chance to make amends in the next life," Guanyue Tong said softly, holding Haihu tightly as she looked at Shounan.

"But since you have such ability and qualifications, I will entrust the power and victory to you."

"Let's not say any more mushy things, First Son. Your mother and I will take our leave now."

The sea tiger spoke calmly and serenely, then slowly turned into ashes and dissipated.

Thus, the peerless expert, the ancestor of the Bai family, the invincible and powerful Sea Tiger—

Never again!

The first man lowered his head, as if reminiscing about everything, as if waiting for it all. And then, he saw the fragments of the martial man reassemble before him, returning to their rightful form.

"Big brother," Wu Nan said softly.

The first man did not answer; he looked into the distance, towards the end of the boundary line.

There, the last person who had been waiting finally arrived.

……

Is my life, Bai Wujie, going to end at this moment?

When my primordial spirit dissipated, when I destroyed myself, when death came, all that remained in my heart was this final question to myself.

But whatever, let it be.

There is no room for regret, because the outcome was already known, and because I had already made preparations.

My first half of life was just an ordinary person in this endless universe. Even if I were the Sea Tiger Martial God, I would only be a Martial God who would not leave a great name in history and would not be worthy of being placed in the pool of fire.

My life so far has been mediocre and unproductive. That's a true reflection of the first half of my life.

As for the rest of my life, in reality, I was nothing more than a tool.

A powerful force chose me and gave me an opportunity, which I used to work hard and strive for a second chance.

I did it. I did it better than I ever imagined. With the help of the Great Power, I was even able to participate in the final battle.

Whom should I thank, or am I satisfied with all of this?

No, of course not.

The desire for more stems from having more; this is human nature. And my greed will only grow larger, deeper, and more uncontrollable!

If I could have it all, I would strive for it! Even if I don't know what the end represents or what I will possess.

I am a selfish person, and my love is even incredibly narrow, because in the end, my love may only be for myself.

But... is this really a narrow-minded view?

Does loving all living beings, like Haihu's love for his wife, make one great, while a person who loves himself is destined to be base and narrow-minded?

Stop joking. Love is love, and selfishness is selfishness. We are merely symbols of the intention to decide the universe and all things after becoming the ultimate power.

The result of selflessness like that of Shi Tianwu is that after becoming a great being, he sacrifices himself to create a new universe, while a great being like Bai Wunan gathers all miracles and great power into himself and reshapes the world with his will.

There is no such thing as greatness or narrow-mindedness; at such a level, any action is truthful and great.

Enough, what's the point of discussing these things?

I, Bai Wujie, am dead. I died at the hands of the ultimate powerhouses who besieged me, becoming the first victim of this war.

Whether it's bad luck or inevitable, I will accept the outcome calmly and quietly wait for everything to pass and get better.

Yes, that's what I thought before my thoughts completely disappeared.

However, some incredible 'miracles' happened to me, and unbelievable results occurred.

I am not dead.

……

The powerful being did not want Bai Wujie to die like this.

He still had a 'mission' to complete, and the powerful beings still needed his presence. Meanwhile, Bai Wujie, who had a premonition, had already prepared for his 'resurrection'.

As he deduced the ultimate power in the Warhammer universe and reached the final moment, White Boundless gradually touched the boundary of 'existence'.

That kind of way of life transcends the physical body and the primordial spirit, surpassing even the ultimate powerhouse.

That kind of 'god' way of life transcends everything that mortals can understand, and is a truly endless and eternal path.

He didn't have time to complete all of this, or rather, at that time he was always infinitely far from completing this step.

So he left himself a backup plan.

In the universe where his story is told, the first thing Bai Wujie did after emerging from seclusion was to ensure that his existence was once again spread throughout the universe.

They slaughtered half of all life in the universe in an incredibly cruel way, and then cast the primordial spirits of those half into the cycle of reincarnation.

But if that were all, he might not have completed this step.

After Bai Wujie died in battle as he had expected, he was reborn.

This time, his presence has traversed every world he has ever visited...

The name he left behind, the things he did, everything he experienced.

Those 'marks' were collected by him, proved by him, and clearly recognized by him.

The chaotic thoughts that had been unable to think were released at that moment; he came to know himself and completed a rebirth in the sense of existence.

Then, he was resurrected once again.

Just like his resurrection in the hands of the great power, he already knew himself, gathered his primordial spirit and life with himself, and finally, was resurrected again from the long river of time!

He returned to the moment before he was killed, and was resurrected as Bai Wujie!

Immediately afterwards, he returned to his own universe to participate in this ultimate battle again.

No, it can't even be said that they participated.

He simply came here to fulfill the true purpose and desire of the Great Power.

This is his second 'resurrection', and like the last one, he is here to fulfill the wish of the 'Great Power'.

Or rather—

This is the final mission of 'him' and 'Bai Wunan'.

"...So that's how it is. Is this his ultimate goal?"

The first man stared intently at Bai Wujie and Bai Wunan before him. In an instant, he understood everything the powerful figure had orchestrated behind the scenes, and finally, an expression of understanding appeared on his face.

"So, you're going to kill me right here?"

He calmly opened his arms, as if waiting, or even eagerly anticipating, his own demise.

But no, absolutely not.

"Having witnessed your battle with Haihu, I realize I still lack so much," Bai Wujie said softly.

“I may be more selfish than Haihu, but all the causes and effects have destined me to be inferior to him and even more inferior to you. My mission may just be to serve as a ‘tool’.”
