Gatekeeper of all realms

Chapter 693 Highs and Lows
Shen Ye walked out of the bar and went straight to the other side of the street.

He sat down in the shade of a large tree, looking down at the knife in his hand.

The blade was as smooth as water, reflecting his face.

suddenly.

A phrase from the past came to mind.

"You're so lonely."

Countless figures appear in my memory, then quickly fade away.

No.

There are too many enemies, and they're too strong. I really don't want to drag anyone else into this mess.

—They even created history.

The whole world is their testing ground; they only need to observe everything unfold and seize all the fruits of their labor when the time is right.

How do you play this?
We can't beat them!

Shen Ye pondered silently.

A moment.

Lines of tiny, glowing text quietly appeared, interrupting his train of thought:

The term "living father" is being activated and is ready to take effect.

"This is an entry that you and the Dharma realm jointly created."

"Description: Every time you defeat your opponent, your bond with them will deepen until you become inseparable."

"Congratulations."

"You have thwarted the 'Primal Demon's' assassination plan and killed it once."

A bond has formed between you:

"A forced summons."

"You can summon it and have it teleport you somewhere, once a day."

All the small print is collected.

Shen Ye looked towards the bar.

"Ah...that's a bit unexpected..."

he whispered.

A huge, shadowy figure appeared in the sky above the bar.

It's that big tree made of twisted corpses!

Or--

These are the manifestations of the monsters!

A strong surge of magical energy emanated from the illusory image of the corpse tree.

Shen Ye raised the knife and formed a hand seal with one hand.

Dharma Form —

Si Yan's Prison Cage·Cong Sheng Fei Festival!

Behind him, an endless expanse of white bones formed a palace.

"bring it on."

Shen Ye said in a low voice.

But the next second—

The corpse tree image opposite disappeared.

The bartender he had just killed had come back to life, leaning against the bar door and looking at him.

"You're alive?"

Shen Ye asked.

"Your swordsmanship is good, but it's meaningless—under our Dharma form, life and death cannot control our fate," the bartender said.

The trouble is big.

The opponent returned to full strength as soon as they respawned.

If these monsters could resurrect indefinitely—

Humanity has no hope.

"Excuse me, is your name 'Yuanmo'?" Shen Ye asked.

"how do you know?"

"This is my little secret."

“Baxter, you have no way out. Hand over the information about the future now.”

"What if I say no?"

The bartender, named Yuan Mo, walked towards Shen Ye step by step.

It was enveloped in the aura of the corpse tree.

So, what kind of blessing does the Dharma image bestow upon it?
Shen Ye pondered for a moment, then rubbed the Blood Bull Ring on his hand.

This is the blessing that "Gatekeeper's Cage - Offering Sacrifice" bestows upon itself—

As long as the enemy attacks, you must continuously replenish your life force until the enemy can no longer withstand it.

"Let me be frank, life and death have no meaning for me. If you resist, you will only face death."

Yuan Demon Dao.

Shen Ye gripped the long sword tightly.

next moment.

Both disappeared at the same time and met in the street in an instant.

The long sword was raised—

But the Yuan Demon didn't defend at all and directly reached out to grab Shen Ye's heart.

Shen Ye had no choice but to change his tactics.

when!
A sound of metal clashing.

Shen Yefei retreated dozens of meters, his gaze falling on the other party's hand.

His hand transformed into sharp claws, and when it collided with the long sword, the impact made his tiger's mouth ache.

—He can withstand my blade with just his body!

"Your swordsmanship is indeed excellent, but if you make just one mistake, you'll be dead."

Yuan Demon Dao.

"I won't make a mistake," Shen Ye said.

Yuan Mo stopped in his tracks.

Sudden--

A series of clanging sounds rang out from its body.

—The sounds were all from the blade cutting into its body.

Take a breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

The fine lines on his body enlarged.

The demon was cut into dozens of pieces, which were scattered all over the ground.

But next second.

All the body parts reassembled into a single mass, transforming into the Primal Demon.

"I can make countless mistakes, do you understand now?"

it asked.

Shen Ye seemed to be deep in thought, and muttered to himself, "Monsters that can be resurrected... it seems like there are many games like that."

"I remember the first level of Double Dragon was a monster that could revive."

"But your advantage is unlimited resurrection—"

"At least you have been resurrected twice, yet your strength has not been diminished at all."

Yuan Mo said, "That's right. It's not a secret, but a fact you must recognize."

words.

That's all I have to say.

Now is the moment for Shen Ye to make a decision.

But he still said:
"One last question, if you can answer it, I will answer your question seriously."

“Ask away,” Yuan Mo said.

"Why are you being so patient with me? With your strength and your men, you could easily have tried to destroy everything I have," Shen Ye said.

“Such a thing happened once,” Yuanmo replied, “that soul possessed a secret technique and self-destructed.”

"So you didn't get any intelligence?" Shen Ye asked.

“Yes,” Yuanmo’s tone became impatient, “now it’s my turn to ask you—what information about the future did you obtain?”

"I won't tell you," Shen Ye said.

The whole world fell silent for a moment.

boom--

An overwhelming aura of evil rose from the Yuan Demon.

"you wanna die."

Its eyes were filled with an uncontrollable madness and savagery, and its body trembled slightly as it was about to make its move.

Shen Ye, however, remained indifferent and said:

"In the future, there will be no you, only humans, elves, orcs, and the undead."

This sentence is like a switch.

All of Yuan Mo's aura vanished, and his hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals like afterimages.

The four demons hidden in the void also appeared.

They made hand seals together.

Lines of faintly glowing text appeared before Shen Ye's eyes:

"Please be careful with it."

"The Thirty-Six Lie Detection Techniques have hit you and are taking effect."

Yuan Mo said in a deep voice:
Say what you just said again.

Shen Ye didn't resist and obediently repeated what he had said.

Yuan Mo was somewhat incredulous.

"Impossible... How could mere humans, as weak as ants, possibly..."

"you are lying!"

It said sternly.

Shen Ye shrugged.

—You've used so many techniques for monitoring, and I'm not lying. Don't you have any self-awareness?
Yuan Mo said, "You must be hiding something, and you absolutely won't—"

Before he could finish speaking, a loud "bang" was heard, and a brand new entry appeared above Shen Ye's head:

"A prophet of the future."

"Description: The owner of this entry has the exclusive right to interpret everything concerning the future, and there is absolutely no falsehood."

For a while.

The field fell into dead silence.

Both sides stared at the term, trying to understand its meaning.

Shen Ye quickly realized what was happening.

—This entry is absolutely my choice!

In the "future," there are only Good Ducks and the Dharma Realm. They are wandering around some of the larger human cities in the nightmare world of multiple universes.

Simultaneously.

The races in the Nightmare World are humans, elves, orcs, and undead.

That's absolutely right!
But that's where the real fun begins.

The fragments of the past, the great ship on the other side of the present, and the nightmare world of the future are already in a state of mutual influence and can change at any time.

This is because—

He has three alter egos, one in the past, one in the present, and one in the future.

If I were to release the Nightmare World in the "future," then I could certainly say in the "past" that there are four races in the "future," including humans.

—Because it's true!
Therefore, in the fragments of the "past" history, one can certainly be called a "prophet".

I have become an "anchor" in time and space!
"You—stay in this world, don't leave, we'll come back for you soon."

After Yuan Mo finished speaking, he led the four demons into the sky and disappeared.

Shen Ye looked up at the sky, lost in thought.

Today's intelligence must have thrown these monsters into panic and shock.

What will they do?
do not know.

But it's okay if you don't know.

Anyway-

I've gained some more time to further hone my knife skills.

"Unkillable..."

"Tsk, could I create a sword technique that is guaranteed to kill the enemy?"

"...It's worth a try."

Shen Ye muttered to himself as he turned and walked towards the sea.

It seems like I'm starting to get the hang of it.

These monsters are fearless in the face of death.

But if there truly were a sword technique that could make "enemies die upon being killed and never be resurrected," then monsters would feel threatened.

This is the first step in defeating them.

We need to think about how to develop such a sword technique as soon as possible!
As he walked and pondered, he soon disappeared into the sea, his whereabouts unknown.

the other side.

Entropy Annihilation Era, the Great Ship on the Other Shore.

The young Shen Ye stood at the bow of the ship, constantly urging it to fly into the depths of the endless void.

—The enemy ships were thrown further and further away.

It seemed safe.

The young Shen Ye sat at the bow of the boat, pondering as he muttered to himself:
"Kill those monsters who fear neither death nor life..."

"Maria, do you think such swordsmanship exists?"

Maria's voice rang out: "No."

"Never?"

Shen Ye asked unwillingly.

“Yes,” Maria replied, “they are higher-dimensional beings, born favored by the laws, and possess the secrets of the convergence of higher laws.”

"Human swordsmanship is too low-dimensional to kill them."

Low-dimensional.

This word caught Shen Ye's attention.

He felt a flash of inspiration in his mind, but he couldn't quite grasp it.

after all……

How to do?
Young Shen Ye fell into deep thought.

“Don’t waste your energy,” Maria advised. “Throughout history, there have been countless heroes and great men who were able to defeat them in one or two battles.”

"But in the end, humanity was defeated."

"Because humans are three-dimensional life forms, while they are born in the Dharma realm and are naturally able to utilize countless laws."

"This is a difference in levels."

"Just like a two-dimensional character, no matter how hard they try, they can never understand the power of the three-dimensional world."

Shen Yeqi said, "According to you, things should be very simple."

"Simple?"

Mary looked at him as if he were a fool and said:

"Before the Entropy Annihilation Era, everything was firmly under their control. How can you say that defeating them is easy?"

“Yes,” Shen Ye stood up, his expression completely different from before, “The Age of Entropy Annihilation has arrived.”

He drew the Dark Emperor Blade—

—The knife exists in the past, in the present, and in the future.

Therefore, each clone can fight with this sword!

"In the Age of Entropy Annihilation, death is death, equivalent to 'the end,' and even they cannot be resurrected—"

"That's fine, right?"

Shen Ye said.

“Yes, what are you trying to say?” Maria asked, puzzled.

"My dimension is too low, their dimension is very high, but the Entropy Extinction Era is even higher than theirs."

Shen Yeping held his long sword still.

"Therefore, I don't need to be amazing."

"After all, humans are weak, but the methodologies and tools they create are very powerful."

The words fell.

Faint, scattered points of light suddenly appeared on the longsword, flickering intermittently.

Maria stared at the points of light and suddenly found herself speechless.

for a long time.

"Oh my god... God... I really didn't misjudge him..."

she whispered softly.

at the same time.

Lines of faintly glowing text appeared before the young Shen Ye's eyes:
"You activated the entry 'Endless Serpent Ring, All Dharmas in Harmony', which allocates elements from the current spacetime."

"You have collected the element 'entropy annihilation'."

"You have incorporated this element into your knife skills 'Dissecting the Ox' and 'Eternal Life'."

"From now on, your attacks will have the 'entropy annihilation' property."

All the small print is collected.

Shen Ye remained silent for a long time, then suddenly said:

"slow down."

The speed of the large ship on the other side suddenly slowed down.

Soon.

Another large ship caught up from behind.

"Keep an eye on our ship."

Shen Ye gave Maria a few words of advice, then leaped across the long, dark void and landed on the large ship controlled by the monsters.

The Soul Orb and numerous monsters had already sensed this and were waiting on the deck.

Shen Ye landed, steadied himself, and waved to them:

"Hi."

"Are you here to die?" the Soul-Possessing Orb asked.

“Soul Orb, I have come with sincerity,” Shen Ye said.

"What sincerity?" the Soul-Swallowing Orb asked.

Shen Ye drew his long sword and said, as if showing off:
"Did you see that gleaming, deadly blade?"

on board.

The monsters all fell silent.

They looked at Shen Ye as if he were a fool.

Knife.

Suddenly it returned to its sheath.

"Although I have the basic ability to take you down, I don't want to fight you."

"Because I love peace."

Shen Ye said earnestly.

The Soul Orb looked him up and down, then hesitated and said, "As the only human in this era, have you lost your mind and come here to die?"

"—I'll grant your wish."

It was about to make a move when it was held down.

In the void.

Several figures appeared.

"Yuan Mo, what brings you here?"

The Soul-Ghost Ball asked in surprise.

“I learned some bad things from the past, so I came here specifically,” Yuan Mo said.

The Soul-Possessing Orb grinned maliciously, "No matter what, once I kill him—"

Its hand was held down once again.

"?" The Soul-Swallowing Orb looked at the Primal Demon.

“He was the only human in the Entropy Annihilation Era; he cannot die,” Yuan Mo said with a complicated expression.

An inexplicable atmosphere spread across the ship.

The monsters looked at the young man, Shen Ye.

If humanity can continue to exist after the end of the entropy extinction period—

So taking action now is not a good idea.

—It directly turned them into opposing sides.

So we need to ease things off a bit and see what the other party's intentions are.

"Speak, human, what brings you to our ship?"

Yuan Mo asked.

Shen Ye remained silent for a few moments, then suddenly laughed.

This is a wonderful thing.

Who says they are high-dimensional?
My three bodies span the past, present, and future, and I seem to be a little bit higher than them.

Ok.

Seriously speaking—

Your future self unleashed a nightmare world;

The past self predicted the future.

Then.

What should I do now?
Under the watchful eyes of all the monsters, Shen Ye opened his arms and said enthusiastically:
"Everyone."

"You can all be my sons."

"In this way, you will definitely have a place in the future!"
