American Exorcism Male God-Chapter 480 - 443 Primordial God (Grand Finale)_5
The progress of the Entries became increasingly difficult to break through towards the end, the remaining 3% like a Wall of Sighs lying ahead.
Xu Yi's situation looked desperate, but his expression suddenly became serene.
"Farewell." Xu Yi sighed softly, a nostalgic light flashing in his eyes as if he were making a final goodbye.
The Ancient God did not know where Xu Yi's change had sprung from, but It felt an inexplicable panic and hurriedly spoke out in an attempt to disrupt Xu Yi's thoughts.
"Actually, there's no need for us to be at each other's throats. How about we join forces and rule the world together?"
Xu Yi ignored the offer, as he was making his last attempt.
Indeed, there were no Blank Entries left in the Entries repository, but he still had the panel, where the maxed out Entries began to burn in sacrifice, from the lowest white Entries to higher ones: green, blue, red...
The progress of "Master of Time" began to climb, but extremely slowly.
He started to burn Golden Level High-Level Entries, even the top-tier purple ones...
Apart from "Master of Time," all other Entries were burnt up, and finally, with Xu Yi's eager gaze, the progress of "Master of Time" reached 100%.
Xu Yi's soul vibrated, a profound and mysterious feeling surged through his heart, and in the blink of an eye, he gained dominion over time.
[Divine Authority - Master of Time (Purple Epic): 100/100
Ability - Time Balance:
By burning physical strength, life, lifespan, body, soul, Resurrection Coins, etc., one can manipulate time. (Including but not limited to Time Standstill, Time Reverse, Time Acceleration, etc.)]
A galaxy of light flickered in Xu Yi's pupils, his vision began to depart, constantly rising, and the things on the ground shrank rapidly, until the whole planet was but the size of a marble in his eyes.
A vast phantom scale enveloped the planet, Xu Yi subconsciously offered up the remaining Resurrection Coins, and Time Balance was activated, one end rose while the other sank, and the rules of time were pried upon.

A mysterious comprehension arose in Xu Yi's heart, that with a single thought, he could reverse time back to three days ago.
But he did not do so, instead choosing to continue offering "sacrifices."
Even if time could be reversed to three days ago, what of it? He still could not kill the Ancient God.
As long as the Ancient God existed, he would just be reliving the pain of losing his loved ones, unable to change anything.
This time, he staked his own body and soul, all of him!
A translucent flame engulfed his body and soul, and the Ancient God screamed at the same time, for, at this moment, not only Xu Yi was being sacrificed but the Ancient God as well.
Ever since the Ancient God attempted Possession on Xu Yi, Xu Yi had thought of this plan; their souls were now merged, and on the Time Balance, it was not only Xu Yi but also the Ancient God's soul.
"Spare me! Let me go! I am willing to offer my soul's mark, and honor you as the Controller!"
The Ancient God finally realized that something was amiss, immense fear caused It to cast aside its divine dignity and continuously beg Xu Yi for mercy.
Xu Yi paid no attention, to speak even a single word now would be disrespectful to his deceased loved ones.
The Time Balance began to activate, sounds of mechanical movement filled the universe, Xu Yi's soul became incredibly heavy, and he plunged into a vast, rushing river, the river of time.
His soul traveled upstream against the current of time.
Countless scenes flashed before his eyes, all moving backward in time, like a movie playing in reverse.
Time was about to flow backward, not just to three days ago, since Xu Yi and the Ancient God's souls were both extremely precious sacrifices, especially the Ancient God.
But could everything return to its original state?
Of course not.
Everything that moves requires "force," even in this world filled with gods and demons, that still holds true.
Time Reverse is no different.
Just like before, reversing three minutes was powered by a Resurrection Coin. After the reversal, that Resurrection Coin would disappear forever and could not be regenerated.
Similarly, the reversal driven by Time Balance would also consume something, naturally, it would be the sacrifices offered by Xu Yi.
He and the Ancient God would both serve as fuel, burning out just like that Resurrection Coin.
Xu Yi's face broke into a hearty smile, feeling more relaxed than ever before, as if he had shed a burdensome weight of a thousand jin.
Though he would die, in the new world that emerged after the reversal, there would be no existence of the Ancient Gods, and the world would not be destroyed.
Dad, Xiaoyu, Lisa, Ailan, Maria, and all the rest, they would all be alive and well.
Within these hopeful expectations, Xu Yi's consciousness gradually faded, like comfortably entering dreamland after a long weariness.
...
The bright yellow taxi approached the iron gate, and the guard allowed entry after seeing the copper seal passed from the rear window. The taxi continued on and stopped in front of a mansion with red bricks and a green roof.
The sun was about to set, and, unexpectedly, a light rain began to fall.
The rear door of the taxi opened, and a man in a suit and top hat jumped out. He clearly did not have an umbrella, and he hunched over, cradling the gift box in his arms to keep it from getting wet, before hurrying towards the mansion's entrance.
Sheltering under the eaves from the rain, the man could see the interior decoration through the adjacent French window.
There were balloons floating on the ceiling, ribbons and fresh flowers on the walls, candlelight, small copper ornaments, and plush toys set out on the long dining table, with a huge cartoon cake at the center.
Clearly, there was a birthday party being prepared in the house—people were bustling about with the arrangements. The man straightened his clothes and pressed the doorbell on the wall.
"It must be your sister Judy arriving, Xiaoyu, go open the door!" A gentle female voice came from inside the house.
With a click, the door opened, and a delicate little girl poked her head out. She looked to be just over two years old. Looking at the man outside with confusion, she asked in a babyish voice, "Hello, are you here for my birthday too?"
The man's face was hidden in the shadow of his hat, unclear to the eye. He took off his hat and raised the gift box, indicating, "Of course I am! Look, I've brought my gift."
Xu Xiaoyu's gaze did not fall on the gift box; instead, she stared blankly at the visitor, her expression much like a cute, clueless bear.
"What's wrong, don't you recognize Daddy?"
Xu Yi could hardly contain his amusement as he reached out to touch Xu Xiaoyu's head.
At this moment, on his system panel, there were only two entries: "Master of Time (Purple Epic)" and "Primordial God (Origin Level)".
He recalled the scene from before once more.
When the Time Balance was activated and he wagered his body and soul, he thought his death was certain.
Unexpectedly, as the Controller of entries, he was like a fish in water in the river of time, managing to persist until the Ancient God perished first.
Subsequently, the Three Great Primordial Gates inside him also perished, yet a Remnant Soul lingered.
Thus, through a twist of fate, he killed the Ancient God first, then destroyed the Three Gates, and in doing so, acquired a new entry: Primordial God.
It was above the purple color, a level that the system could not even record: an Origin Level entry.
Due to the special nature of an Origin Level entry, there was no need to laboriously level up; it was at full value straight away.
With the power of the Primordial God, he was able to reshape his body, complete his soul, and return to this reversed world.
The rain came quickly and left just as fast. At this moment, as the downpour ceased, the clouds dispersed at the edge of the sky, and the golden glow of the evening sun spilled over, with a gentle breeze arriving steadily.
Xu Yi suddenly realized it was a very nice season; the scorching summer had ended, the cool autumn was just beginning, it was the time when the sky is high and the air is crisp.
This was the best time in Boston, with the maple leaves turning yellow and the Arctic salmon rich and fatty.
Though the world was filled with oddities and various mysterious organizations moved within the shadows, there were no longer any Ancient Gods lurking, awakening to destroy the world.
Many wonderful things awaited him and his family and friends to experience.
The main street in the center of Boston was bustling and lively; the Michelin three-star restaurant opened its doors to welcome guests, with top chefs ready to present their best dishes.
After the rain, Walden Lake was peaceful and beautiful; one could walk along the paths, take a boat ride, and enjoy the crystal-clear lake, feeling at one with nature.
Or they could go to Massachusetts' tallest peak, a perfect place to view the autumn leaves; gazing down from the mountaintop, the layers of red maple leaves were a sight to behold, a true embodiment of "forests stained to the horizon".
They needn't worry about newly born oddities, nor fear a sudden death.
Autumn had just arrived, and in this wonderful season, there were still plenty of beautiful stories waiting to unfold.
