    If I remember correctly, the final move seems to be custom to the user anyway.
    Pretty cliche but also fits to the "must be your own dao..heart" business

    So seeing this true Life or Death moment I can't help but compare it to Linelys in CD.

    While there was most definitely a tense moment in DE I find myself thinking that the one in CD was done better.

    Perhaps because it was alot more sudden which added to the intensity of the moment but I just found myself thinking this similar situation was done a bit better in CD.

    Anyone else share this sentiment or disagree with it?

    Yeah in coiled dragon it was during a big fight and was the all the insights he gained and foreshadowing of the 4 beasts/4 elements power being able to mesh together coming together. Also, there was a sense he was actually dead. Here it was like Ning drifting off to sleep and waking up with "Ah! I'm still alive!" We expected it to play out with him alive. We didn't expect Linley to have the breakthrough at that moment or in that way. At least I didnt.

    While the suspense was less than cd, I think this one is handled better. It's the result of Ning's continuous effort rather than last minutes insight in battle. CN protagonist never die anyway.
    Same with the translator note, I really like the last bit with Ninelotus.

    I was so surprised when Ninelotus got more than a passing mention.

    he is only an emperor
    not an autarch so it may change
    also in CD Linley also worked hard to try and fuse everything together but needed some last minute stuff

    I don't know about continuous effort. Ning was practically handed the components to making the complete version recently. Awakener's guess at the two most likely paths and the truncheon chapters just got introduced. Following which Ning pulled insights from both and two scenes later we have Ning with an immortal soul. The effort or foreshadowing isnt* (edited from is to isn't) as far reaching in my opinion. Now his effort in cultivation is, but not in this particular powerup.

    does anyone else feel like the remainder of the novel will be kinda boring since the majority of the tension is gone?

    MC lost his Primaltwin. His strength is still on the level of Autarch, and major breakthroughs will still take time while the other side has one or more Omega Autarch level figures. The War is going to break out soon.

    Tension is maximum, but it feels lesser as one of the major issues hanging over Ji Ning's head has been solved.

    Tension really isn't at the maximum, or at least, I can't feel it like I could earlier. It seems obvious to me that while Ning is fighting the sithe he will have an epiphany and become an omega autarch then win that current fight, return back to his chaosverse and then become the ruler of it at which point he will have equal power as the ruler of the sithe chaosverse and the war will probably end with a truce. If Ning can beat the ruler of the other chaosverse then that would be bullshit

    2 Things.

    Mana? I'm sure this is the most accurate translation... but mana. Not a detraction on the novel but Mana just seems so off to me.

    6 million Chaos Cycles.......... I know it's accelerated... but still. Holy Moly. Biggest Time Skip in a novel I have seen to date. Anyone got a bigger one?

    crazy how when the a story ending they throw away that whole you cant just sit and train you have to go through life and death fight and long training wont help, so you need to go experience new things.

    He's experienced nothing compared to Pill Emperor. With all her life and death experience she should be able to have an epiphany and become the lord of the chaosverse.

    Haha that just drives my point. The non-mc experienced more life and death situations than the mc.
