Spoiler warning: This A Will Eternal ending explained page names the final chapter and quotes what Wuxiaworld's public teasers reveal about Bai Xiaochun's last choice.

The A Will Eternal ending explained question starts with a counting problem: the main story ends at chapter 1,314, yet Wuxiaworld lists 1,321 chapters. The extra seven entries are an epilogue, a side story and two reference pages.

TL;DR: The A Will Eternal ending explained in short: the novel is complete. The main story's last chapter is 1,314, titled "His Choice" on Wuxiaworld, followed by an epilogue in which Bai Xiaochun leaves the Eternal Immortal Domains with his friends and family and his story becomes a legend, then a myth. Wuxiaworld shows only teasers of these chapters, so this guide stays inside what they publicly say.

A Will Eternal Ending Explained: Where the Story Actually Stops

Wuxiaworld's series page lists A Will Eternal as completed, by Er Gen (耳根), translated by Deathblade, licensed from Yuewen, at 1,321 chapters. Wikipedia says the novel began serialization on Qidian in April 2016 and "was completed in 2018, with Chapter 1314, titled "Your Choice", as the final chapter." Those two numbers look like a conflict. They are not.

The chapter list explains the gap. Book 7, "The Eternal Immortal Domains," ends with "Chapter 1314: His Choice" and an "Epilogue," both dated 2019.04.22 on Wuxiaworld. After it comes "Side Story: The True Story of the Blood Ancestor (and Frigid Matriarch)," four parts dated 2025.10.07 to 2025.10.10, and the page's "Latest Chapter" reads Chapter 1319. A separate "Glossary and Art Gallery" section holds two more entries. Adding them up: 1,314 main chapters, one epilogue and four side-story parts make 1,319, and the glossary and art gallery bring the listed count to 1,321.

Wikipedia gives the final chapter's title as "Your Choice"; Wuxiaworld's translation calls it "His Choice." Same chapter, two renderings. Reading to 1,314 finishes the main story. The epilogue is a short coda, and the Blood Ancestor parts are bonus reading that opens in a different setting, the lands of Heavenspan.

A Will Eternal Ending Explained: What the Last Chapters Show

Wuxiaworld gates most chapters behind a login. The pages for chapters 1,313, 1,314 and the epilogue each carry a "Teaser" label, show a few paragraphs, then stop with "Log in to continue your adventure." Everything below comes from that visible text.

Chapter 1,313, "An Oil Lamp And An Ancient Temple," has the old boatman telling Bai Xiaochun that "Going back to the beginning would be an excellent choice. Take your memories with you, and re-live your life." He adds that re-living life could make things "as perfect as they could be." Bai Xiaochun "didn't say anything in response," standing at the prow of the boat, "seemingly lost in thought."

Chapter 1,314, "His Choice," opens: "Everything Bai Xiaochun had just seen faded away, becoming an eternal memory." He opens his eyes to find himself "still standing at the prow of the boat in the River of Time." The teaser cuts off there, so the choice itself is not on the public page, and this guide does not guess at it. The setup is clear enough: the last decision is framed as whether to go back to the beginning with his memories.

The Epilogue: What Is Public and What Is Not

The epilogue teaser is the most quotable part. It opens "Years passed. Ages." It says the Eternal Spirit World "glittered with bright light, and its 1,080,000 worlds glowed radiantly," and that "The Eternal Immortal Domains became the brightest star among all the other stars." Then the line readers cite: "Eventually, Bai Xiaochun left the Eternal Immortal Domains, taking his friends and family with him. Afterward, his story became a legend, and then a myth."

The teaser breaks off mid-sentence ("Even years later, people would still..."). That is a limit of the free page, not a sign that nothing follows. Claims about his later rank, his lifespan or what happens to each friend are outside what the public page shows, so they are left out here.

Still deciding whether to start? The A Will Eternal Review covers the comedy, the alchemy and the political intrigue without spoiling this ending.

What Readers Say About the Ending

Readers split on whether the final stretch felt rushed. On Wuxiaworld's chapter 1,314 page, UnifiedDivide (labeled Editor) wrote that chapter 1,314 being the planned end point showed "it wasn't a rushed ending. It was clearly all planned out with a beginning, middle and end." In an r/noveltranslations thread titled "Making sense of A Will Eternal's ending," u/Hour_Ant323 replied that "as soon as they all got to the higher realm I dropped it there, it was feeling rushed."

The rest of that thread is a spoiler-heavy discussion of the antagonist's plan and how the Eternal Spirit World fits into Er Gen's wider universe, so open it only after finishing.

Step-by-Step

1. Read the main story to chapter 1,314: Use A Will Eternal on Wuxiaworld and treat 1,314 as the finish line, not 1,321.

2. Pace yourself around the free-chapter limit: The series page advertises two free chapters every 23 hours, so plan the last stretch rather than expecting the ending to be open.

3. Read chapters 1,313 and 1,314 together: The boatman's offer in 1,313 is the setup for the choice in 1,314, and the teasers only make sense as a pair.

4. Read the epilogue after the choice: The epilogue page is a coda. Do not open it first and treat it as a summary.

5. Treat the Blood Ancestor side story as optional: Its four parts start a separate story in Heavenspan, so stopping at the epilogue finishes the novel.

6. Use the reading guide to resume safely: The A Will Eternal Reading Guide avoids a final-arc map, which makes it a safe companion if you are not caught up.

Tips for Spoiler-Safe Discussion

  • Say "chapter 1,314" for the main ending and "the epilogue" for the coda after it.
  • Do not quote 1,321 as the novel's length without explaining the side story, glossary and art gallery.
  • Mark any claim about the River of Time choice as unverified unless it quotes the chapter.
  • Treat I Shall Seal the Heavens as a shared-universe connection, not a required prequel: Wuxiaworld says the novel "is a separate story and can be read alone."

Our Take

This verdict rests only on the facts cited above. The count question has a clean answer: 1,314 is the end of the main story, and the 1,321 figure includes an epilogue, a 2025 side story and two reference pages. The ending question does not have a public answer. Wuxiaworld's teasers show the boatman's offer and the River of Time setting, then stop before Bai Xiaochun decides, and the epilogue's only concrete image is him leaving with friends and family. Readers who want the choice itself have to read chapter 1,314; anyone who states it without quoting the chapter is guessing.

How We Checked This

We used 7 sources, checked on 2026-10-09: the Wuxiaworld series page and its chapter list, the Wuxiaworld pages for chapter 1,313, chapter 1,314, the epilogue and Blood Ancestor part 1, the Wikipedia article on A Will Eternal, and the r/noveltranslations thread quoted above. Fan wikis and unofficial reading sites were not used.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is A Will Eternal complete?

Yes. Wuxiaworld lists the English edition as completed at 1,321 chapters, by Er Gen and translated by Deathblade. Wikipedia names chapter 1,314 as the final chapter; on Wuxiaworld it is followed by an epilogue, a four-part Blood Ancestor side story, a glossary and an art gallery.

What is the last chapter of A Will Eternal?

Wikipedia gives the novel's final chapter as 1,314. Wuxiaworld titles it "His Choice." The entry after it is the epilogue.

What happens to Bai Xiaochun at the end?

Wuxiaworld's public epilogue teaser says he leaves the Eternal Immortal Domains with his friends and family and that his story becomes a legend, then a myth. The teaser stops mid-sentence, so the full text is behind the site's login.

Can I read the ending for free?
