As Su Ming's power surged, the Forbidden God Abyss threatened to consume everything. Everyone despaired, but their collective cries for Su Ming to wake up echoed through the void. Heeding their pleas, Su Ming fought back against the abyss's will, shattering its hold and saving everyone. Though victorious, he warned that the threat was not yet fully resolved.

Su Ming controlled the mecha and turned around, looking at the Abyss of Descent that was continuously expanding behind him.

At this moment, his eyes could see into the depths of the Abyss of Descent, where a pair of eyes stared at all of them, but only Su Ming could see them.

Hearing Su Ming's words, Long Bai and the others turned their heads toward the Abyss of Descent. Although its expansion rate had decreased, it was still expanding toward them.

"How did this happen, and what should we do now?"

Gabres and the others looked at Su Ming and asked.

Su Ming sighed and said in a deliberately relaxed tone.

"There's no way, I can only go in and perish with it!"

The logic was simple; he and the Abyss of Descent were essentially one. The growth of the Abyss of Descent depended on his growth.

In essence, they were of one body and one mind. If he died, the Abyss of Descent would stop expanding.

This was why the Abyss of Descent went through all the effort to create a god.

"No, we will relocate and leave this universe!"

Long Bai directly rejected Su Ming's suggestion.

"Lord Long Bai is right, how can we let you sacrifice yourself!"

Gabres and the others said anxiously.

"It's no use, you can't escape the expansion speed of the Abyss of Descent, and it swallows the subspace along with it."

Su Ming shook his head and replied.

"But...."

Gabres and the others were about to persuade him when Su Ming firmly said.

"Don't try to persuade me, my mind is made up!"

Upon hearing Su Ming's words, everyone fell into silence.

The sound of sobbing continuously transmitted through the communication channel.

Then Long Bai hoarsely spoke.

"I understand."

"Everyone, aren't you going to say goodbye to me?"

Su Ming said with a smile.

"Goodbye!"

Gabres gritted his teeth and was the first to speak.

Mo Xiu, Hayes, Morigko, and others spoke one after another.

"Su Ming, goodbye!"

At this time, Long Chen, City Lord Alicia, Gakels, Farren, Commander Soraya, and others also spoke in the communication channel.

"Goodbye!"

....

For a while, many generals and soldiers said farewell to Su Ming.

Soon after, Mia's voice also rang out; she said to Su Ming.

"You brat, goodbye!"

"Teacher Mia, goodbye!"

Su Ming replied with a smile.

At this time, Rhein and others, with choking voices, said.

"Boss, we can't bear to lose you!"

"Don't say such silly things!"

"Yes, goodbye boss!"

"That's more like it, goodbye."

Su Ming replied to Rhein and the others.

At this moment, An Ruoxue, with a somewhat choked voice, called out.

"Su Ming."

"Ruoxue, cheer up!"

Su Ming replied, feeling a bit complicated.

"Okay, goodbye."

An Ruoxue took a deep breath and forced a smile, saying.

At this time, Hilis, Vivian, Xia Lan, Helena, and others also sadly bade farewell to Su Ming on the communication channel.

"Su Ming, goodbye!"

"Goodbye, everyone!"

Su Ming said with a smile to Hilis and the others.

Then a series of communications connected, Zhao Ning cried and said.

"Son, can't you just not die?"

"I'm sorry, mother, this time I disappointed you."

Su Ming took a deep breath and said to Zhao Ning.

"No, you have never disappointed me...."

Zhao Ning said, crying.

"My son, nothing will happen to you, you will come back alive."

Su Yuan said a bit incoherently.

"Father, take care of mother."

Su Ming said calmly to Su Yuan.

"Alright, I will."

Su Yuan replied with great discomfort.

At this time, Su Mulong, Su Zhen Tian, and others spoke up.

"Su Ming, our Su Family is proud of you, go do what you want to do, we all support you!"

"Thank you, Grandpa, and all the elders!"

Su Ming expressed his sincere gratitude.

At this moment, Su Yuan also shouted with red eyes.

"Su Ming."

"Su Yuan, the Su Family will rely on you in the future!"

Su Ming said encouragingly to Su Yuan.

"Don't worry, I've got it!"

Su Yuan gritted his teeth and replied.

Su Ming took a deep breath, looked at everyone present, and said.

"Everyone, goodbye!"

"Goodbye!"

People replied one after another.

At this moment, Isabella opened an entryway, and Ferion, driving the Dark Executioner, flew out with Long Bai towards Irinlia.

Soon, the Dark Executioner flew in front of Irinlia, then opened the cockpit.

Su Ming saw Long Bai standing at the edge of the cockpit and was momentarily stunned before opening his own cockpit.

Only to see Long Bai, dressed in pristine Symbiotic Armor, lightly leap into Irinlia's cockpit.

The cockpit then closed as Long Bai stood in front of Su Ming, removing the Symbiotic Armor covering his body.

"What are you doing here?"

Su Ming looked at Long Bai with a pale smile.

Long Bai raised both hands to caress Su Ming's cheeks, showing a faint smile as he spoke.

"I'm coming with you!"

"No, you are the Council Chairman of the Federation; you have your own duties."

Su Ming was surprised to hear Long Bai's words and then sternly declined.

"Will you not feel afraid and lonely by yourself?"

"I'm not afraid; I'm not the first to nobly face death. Lord Long Xian, Lord Isabella, and countless brave soldiers of the Federation, they are the best examples!"

Su Ming shook his head and said to Long Bai.

Long Bai's expression became complex upon hearing Su Ming's words.

"Don't worry. Death to me isn't that terrifying, because I've died once before."

Su Ming smiled as he spoke to Long Bai.

"Died once?"

Long Bai looked at Su Ming with confusion.

"Actually, I'm not from this era. My name is Hygge, and I am the last Emperor from ten thousand years ago. It might sound absurd, hard to accept, but that's the truth. However, I'm very grateful to have crossed the river of time to meet you."

Su Ming earnestly said to Long Bai.

In fact, it was fortunate that he landed on Su Ming back then, allowing him to merge memories and neutralize his extreme personality.

Listening to Su Ming's words, Long Bai's gaze grew progressively sorrowful.

"I don't care who you are; I love you for who you are, and nothing will change that."

Long Bai smiled charmingly upon hearing this, slowly moving closer to kiss Su Ming.

Su Ming's body slightly trembled, stretching out his hands to tightly embrace Long Bai.

Time passed second by second.

Finally, Su Ming slowly released his hold and softly said to Long Bai.

"It's about time now; I should leave! Take care of yourself."

"I will."

Long Bai replied reluctantly, then activated the Symbiotic Armor to cover himself entirely.

At this moment, the cockpit opened, Long Bai gave Su Ming a deep look, then turned and floated out of the cockpit, returning to the Dark Executioner's cockpit.

Su Ming closed the cockpit, deeply exhaled, and said to Celeste, Irene Liss, and Linias.

"Are you afraid?"

"I'm not afraid; I'm willing to follow the master, even to death."

Ilyas looked at Su Ming, showing a radiant smile as she spoke.

Irene Liss commented coldly.

"Since my sister wants to follow you to death, of course, I'll go too!"

Celeste plucked up her courage and spoke.

"Having you accompany me, I'm also not afraid!"

"Alright, then let's go!"

Su Ming beamed a bright smile, then maneuvered Irinlia towards the expanding Forbidden God Abyss.

This scene might just be the grand closure that men spend their lives seeking. And Su Ming finally placed a perfect full stop on his regrettable life.

Amidst the starry sky, all the Federation soldiers looked at Su Ming flying towards the Forbidden God Abyss, saluting him one after another.

Komih and other Chilami emitted special cries to bid farewell to Su Ming and Irene Liss!

Inside the central control room of Void Eye Fortress.

Pamie's electronic eyes flickered continuously, silently watching Su Ming fly towards the abyss, then bowed.

At this moment, Reporter Lin Qi pointed the camera towards Irinlia, choking as he spoke.

"Everyone, our hero, Admiral Su Ming for the sake of all of us, is flying towards the Forbidden God Abyss. Let's bid him farewell with the utmost respect."

"Farewell, Lord Su Ming!"

...

People shouted one after another.

Third Planet·Starlight City.

Countless citizens walked onto the streets, looking at the plaza's holographic projection, each with reddened eyes, raised their hands to wave at the departing Su Ming.

"Farewell, Lord Su Ming!"

"Goodbye!"

...

At this moment, within the crowd, Nina looked at Su Ming's image, tilted her head, and asked her crying mother.

"Mother, where is that big brother who looks like dad going?"

Nina's mother reached out to hug her, caressing her head as she spoke.

"He's going somewhere far away for us."

"Will he come back?"

"I don't know."

...

In the starry sky.

Su Ming, piloting Irinlia, approached the expanding Forbidden God Abyss.

At this moment, he took a deep breath, turned to take a final look at everyone behind him, his gaze becoming resolutely firm, and then spoke.

"Let's go!"

"Yes!"

The three of Celeste responded simultaneously.

Su Ming maneuvered Irinlia to transform into a stream of light, heading straight into the Forbidden God Abyss.

(Curtain Call: Thank you for accompanying me throughout this journey!)
