Chapter 1163 The Ending

Su Jing's remarkable journey of growth was initially compiled and circulated within his fan community, but it quickly leaked out, capturing the attention of people worldwide. 

Everyone who read it couldn't help but be astounded— this was a true legend. Even if it were written as a book, readers would likely find it too fantastical and unbelievable.

This further elevated Su Jing's status in the eyes of many, portraying him as a near-deific figure. 

Some even went to the extent of worshiping him and bowing before his achievements. It could be said that even if Su Jing appeared less frequently in the future, his legend would undoubtedly endure and be passed down throughout the world.

This adoration served as the final catalyst for Su Jing. On the night of his wedding, deep into the late hours, Su Jing suddenly heard Qingyun's voice, "Master, your Energy Value Points have surpassed One Million Points, and your Recycle Degree Points have reached One Million as well. You have met the upgrade conditions? Will you upgrade?"

Overwhelmed with emotions, Su Jing couldn't possibly refuse. He felt an overwhelming urge to shed tears of joy. He had worked tirelessly, all for this moment, hadn't he?

Despite successfully eradicating the Undead Being, a lingering fear still remained within Su Jing. What if an even greater threat emerged in the future? What if he found himself unable to handle it? In that scenario, the fate of Earth would be in jeopardy. 

Only by upgrading the Garbage Station to the Second Level and gaining control over the activation and deactivation of the space-time tunnel, could he seize the initiative and ensure the safety of the planet.

"Okay, the Ultra-Universe Garbage Station is initiating the upgrade process. It will require a few days. Please be patient, Master. Until the upgrade is complete, I strongly advise against entering the Garbage Station as it may pose a life-threatening risk," Qingyun's voice echoed before falling silent.

"Qingyun, Qingyun," Su Jing hurried downstairs and called out to the Eight Trigrams Stone a couple of times, but there was no response. 

Su Jing desperately wanted to know what was happening inside, but he had to maintain his composure and restrain his urgency, considering Qingyun's warning about the potential danger. 

Entering prematurely could not only jeopardize his safety but also disrupt the upgrade process, resulting in a failure. The thought of such a failure brought a wave of unease in his heart, and he realized there would be no solace if that were to happen.

Days passed, marked by a ceaseless waiting. Time seemed to crawl at an agonizingly slow pace, causing great anxiety in Su Jing's heart. During visits to relatives after the wedding, Su Jing appeared absent-minded, which puzzled Shi Qing and her family. 

They wondered why he seemed so restless immediately after their marriage. If Shi Qing had doubted Su Jing's feelings for her, she might have suspected him of regretting their union.

One day turned into two, then three, until finally, on the fourth day, Su Jing heard Qingyun's voice once more, "The Ultra-Universe Garbage Station is on the verge of completing the upgrade. Ten, nine, eight..."

Su Jing's anxiety intensified, his heart pounding faster with each passing second. Time seemed to stretch endlessly, each moment stretching into what felt like an hour. His mind became flooded with thoughts, reminiscing about his journey thus far. 

He recalled the day he first encountered the vortex and his astonishment at its existence. The joy he felt upon discovering the remarkable benefits of Magical Beast meat resurfaced in his memories. 

The fear he experienced when facing the Undead Being for the first time haunted his thoughts. He recollected the cautious approach he took when exploring the Garbage Station model initially and the exhilaration he felt as it ascended from a mere model to the First Level. 

His mind was a collage of bittersweet memories. Without the Garbage Station, his life would have been ordinary, devoid of the vibrancy and excitement it now held.

Now, standing on the precipice of upgrading the Ultra-Universe Garbage Station to the Second Level, granting him control over the space and time tunnel, Su Jing pondered his next course of action. 

Should he simply close the vortex and avoid potential dangers, or should he venture further, actively exploring other Universes by delving deeper into the unknown?

In this moment of confusion, Su Jing realized that he had been fixated on achieving the Second Level upgrade without fully considering the implications and decisions that would follow once it was attained.

As Su Jing's mind wrestled with uncertainty, Qingyun reached the final countdown, "Three, two, one." Following the countdown, the massive Eight Trigrams Stone in front of Su Jing rapidly shrunk, diminishing to the size of a fingernail and hovering in mid-air.

Examining it closely, Su Jing was astonished to find that the circular Eight Trigrams Stone, now reduced to a fingernail's size, retained its familiar patterns. 

However, beneath it, there now existed a finger-sized ring. Slipping it onto his finger, he discovered it fit perfectly, transforming into an ancient and unadorned ring.

The fact that the Ultra-Universe Garbage Station had undergone such a substantial reduction in size after the upgrade caught Su Jing off guard. From now on, he could conveniently wear it as a ring.

"Master, the Garbage Station has successfully upgraded to the Second Level. Its external dimensions have shrunk to a diameter of one centimeter, while the internal space has expanded to a diameter of ten thousand meters. You have the ability to redistribute the space as needed. Additionally, it now possesses the capability to control the space and time tunnel. Would you like to test this new feature?" Qingyun's voice resounded.

Su Jing fell silent, his normally decisive nature giving way to hesitation and indecision. This decision held immense significance, and he realized he could not rush it.

…

End Of The Book.

______________________________________________________________________

From Author --- "The novel 'Galactic Garbage Station' has reached its final chapter.

First and foremost, I would like to express my gratitude to my readers.

Now, let us delve into the completion of this novel...

Some may wonder why I chose to conclude the story here instead of delving into other universes or venturing into the vast expanse of interstellar space, as many had anticipated.

In truth, I did contemplate continuing the narrative. With its remarkable success and the overwhelming support of countless readers, it would have been financially lucrative to continue writing. However, I made the decision to end it here. Please allow me to explain the reasons behind this choice.

First and foremost, it stems from intention. The essence of this book lies in the transformation of trash into treasure, encapsulated in the idea of how garbage from other universes becomes invaluable on Earth. If I were to enter other novel or movie universes or leap into the realms of interstellar narratives, even if I were to painstakingly weave the stories together and maintain the thematic coherence, inevitably, it would lose some of its original flavors.

Secondly, it pertains to freshness. The biggest allure of this book lies in its novelty and entertainment value. However, when something appears novel for the first time, it becomes ordinary upon repetition and tedious when it becomes a pattern. Therefore, as the story progressed, it became increasingly challenging to write. Even if I were to write with equal skill, readers would have gradually lost that sense of novelty. I tried to break through and explore new storylines within the established theme, but regrettably, my attempts fell short. Consequently, the book seemed to lack the vigor to carry on, and many readers grew weary of it.

Thirdly, it relates to personal reasons. I have devoted two years of my life to writing this book, and I am feeling a tinge of weariness. Writing this novel has given rise to a condition that I call 'Garbage Syndrome.' Whenever I pass by a pile of rubbish, I cannot help but pause and observe, hoping to find some inspiration within it. When I read books or watch movies, instead of being captivated by remarkable treasures, my attention is drawn to inconspicuous garbage. At times, it even diminishes my enjoyment of reading. It is a condition that requires treatment. Unfortunately, I could not seek treatment while writing this book because doing so would have hindered my ability to gather the necessary information about garbage and prevented me from writing the book to the best of my abilities. Now that I have finally completed it, I can finally seek the treatment I need. I hope it is not too late.

Taking all these factors into consideration, I firmly believe that now is the most appropriate time to conclude this book, providing closure for everyone involved. This ending is the one I envisioned, and it has remained resolute in my mind throughout. Even as I write these concluding words, my stance has not wavered.
