The Corpse Embraces the Moon: In a Year, I'll Destroy the World

In one year, humanity will be destroyed. And the one who destroys the world... is me.

That day, a vision of the world’s destruction in the future suddenly descended upon reality, terrifying the entire globe. At the center of the ruins, a headless corpse of unimaginable size sat cross-legged in space, its arms embracing the moon. Within its rotting chest, I sat alone atop a mountain of corpses, my molten-gold eyes coldly surveying all living things.

I was eighteen that year, at the early stage of the Qi-Blood Realm. Faced with the destined demon god who would destroy the world, humanity made the most rational choice: kill him while he was still weak.

The execution was broadcast live worldwide. The blade fell, and my head rolled into the dust.

But they didn’t know that killing me... was the beginning of the apocalypse.

Ten seconds later, the severed head on the ground opened its eyes. Clang, deep in the universe, the first physical funeral bell rang out, its thunderous toll echoing along the Moon’s actual orbit!

At the brink of death, I fell for the first time into the "Graveyard of Many Selves," where countless failed futures lay buried: [Age eighteen, early Qi-Blood Realm, died by beheading.] [Age nineteen, peak Qi-Blood Realm, died...] [Age twenty-one, late Jade Marrow Realm, died...]

Gravestones stretched beyond sight, and every single one bore my name.

At that moment, to protect themselves, the entire world had no choice but to become my personal bodyguard. At that moment, I finally understood that if I wanted to survive, I had only one path...

Find the causes and effects that were destined to kill me, then bury them with my own hands! I’m not trying to escape death.

I’m hunting down the cause of my own death.

All my selves die.

Only I return as one.
