Gatekeeper of all realms

Chapter 696 is out!

Chapter 696 is out!
A large ship on the other side.

Young Shen Ye silently gazed at the "Eternal Night" mission before him.

This task—

It's not suitable for your current self to do it.

Let your "past" self confront this matter!
After all, he was responsible for guarding the ship and couldn't allow it to suffer any mishaps.

His gaze shifted, looking out at the empty space beyond the ship.

The Soul-Possessing Orb reappeared, hovering in mid-air, overlooking Shen Ye on the ship.

Shen Ye suddenly waved his hand and said:
"Come."

The Soul-Possessing Ball was about to unleash its spell when the opponent uttered just one word.

Looking at the ship again, all the cannons were lowered, showing no intention of attacking.

The Soul-Possessing Ball endured a surgical technique, leaped down, and landed.

"What else do you want to say?"

It asked coldly.

“Your ship is destroyed,” Shen Ye said.

“That’s right, even the Entropy Annihilation Era started because of our mistakes—what are you trying to say?” the Soul Orb asked.

“My ship and I are the only hope, but you should know that with just a thought, my ship can self-destruct,” Shen Ye said.

"This is the Age of Entropy Annihilation," the Soul-Swallowing Orb sneered. "If you want to destroy this ship, it will simply undergo entropy dissolution and cease to exist forever."

"—And you, the last human in this era, will also 'end' in this entropy extinction era."

To its surprise, Shen Ye nodded and said:

"You're right."

The Soul-Possessing Orb scrutinized him, hesitated for a few moments, and asked, "What exactly do you mean?"

Shen Ye shrugged and said:
"Don't you want to kill me? Come on."

The Soul-Ghost Orb didn't move.

Shen Ye laughed and said lazily:

"This is the last ship—"

“If I perish along with the ship, then everything in the entire Entropy Annihilation Era will return to ‘emptiness,’ and you will no longer be able to go to the ‘future.’”

"If it weren't for that, you would have died long ago," the Soul-Possessing Orb roared.

"Let's make a deal," Shen Ye said.

"You damn thing—what? You said a deal?" The Soul Orb thought it had misheard.

Shen Ye rubbed the ring on his hand.

The gold and other treasures stored in the ring are constantly increasing.

—The treasures I have acquired in the past are the result of my hard work in collecting them.

All the treasure was transferred to the giant skeleton in the ship's hold.

It continuously contributes to the large ship on the other side, helping it to upgrade.

This upgrade has been ongoing.

until this moment-

Shen Ye stretched out his hand, making a virtual press on the large ship on the other side, and said:

"You've already reset history, haven't you?"

"So what if it is?" the Soul-Possessing Orb said warily.

"I have collected many species, and I am preparing to take them to the future."

"—This includes humans as well."

The Soul-Possessing Orb revealed a cruel smile and growled:

“We will not give you any human beings. They will all be killed by us in the experimental site before they arrive at the Entropy Annihilation Period.”

“That’s why I’m talking about a deal,” Shen Ye said.

"What can you offer in return?" the Soul-Swallowing Orb asked.

"I don't care what you do, and I don't care if you become human—"

“As long as a human can reach this point and meets the standards for a human, I will definitely accept him onto the ship,” Shen Ye said.

His hand moved slightly.

The entire large ship on the other side trembled as a result.

A moment.

A small lifeboat appeared on the deck.

On this lifeboat, countless rules converge to reveal a standard for rescue.

The Soul-Transferring Orb walked over and looked at the Guide Standards.

empty.

"If it meets your human standards... you'll save it?"

The Soul-Possessing Ball turned its head and asked.

“Absolutely,” Shen Ye assured, “Once the search and rescue rules for large ships become apparent, I guarantee I will arrange for a ship to go to the rescue.”

"..." Soul-Sent Sphere.

It was somewhat skeptical.

If we can really get on the ship, we can go to the future.

This is the key!
"The first human standard has been published," Shen Ye said.

The Soul-Swallowing Ball quickly turned its head and looked at the search and rescue guide.

It stared at it for a long time.

"Are you sure this is the standard for guidance to the other side?"

"determine."

"But these conditions are too—"

"Too much? That's just how we humans are."

Before the other party could speak, Shen Ye continued, "You can't pretend to be human at all, which is why you caused all the destruction. Do you know what that's called?"

"What's your name?" the Soul-Swallowing Orb asked.

"Arrogance—a species will not perish because of its weakness, but arrogance certainly will."

"..."

The Soul Orb was reluctant to admit it, but it was indeed the truth.

As a super race that created countless fragments of history, who would care about the joys and sorrows of humans?
Who cares whether they live or die?

They were just experiments, tools used to find the future!

Look at it this way.

What the other party said wasn't wrong.

"If we follow this standard, then we're definitely going to board the ship."

"The Soul-Gathering Ball said in a deep voice."

"As long as they meet the criteria, I will definitely save them," Shen Ye said.

"So, what do you want?" the Soul Orb asked.

—The fact that it asked this question proves that it has already acknowledged the sincerity that Shen Ye has shown!

Shen Ye smiled and said:
"Do whatever you want, but please don't harm those living people from history. Leave them alone."

"Is that all? We will become human, and stronger than all humans," the Soul Orb said.

"That's all." Shen Ye confirmed once again.

"Wait a moment," the Soul-Possessing Ball said.

After counting the breaths.

"make a deal."

it said.

This deal, which concerns the past, present, and future, is now finalized!

……

The past.

Two figures chased each other in the endless dark void.

Shen Ye was in front.

The Demon Lord is behind.

Whenever Shen Ye was about to attack a fragment of history, the Yuan Demon would rush forward and block his blade.

—Anyway, it won't die!
"Come on, surround him!"

Yuan Mo roared.

Countless monsters surged from the void.

a moment.

Just before they were surrounded.

Shen Ye suddenly opened a door and rushed in.

He went straight to a historical site far from the battlefield.

He had now almost completely figured out the so-called fragments of history.

A historical fragment represents a specific world scene and time within an era.

For example, this fragment.

This is a world war in human history.

Frontline battlefield.

Airplanes, tanks, and rifles—

The soldiers faced off against each other.

War is about to break out!
Shen Ye landed on a tank and looked at the crowd not far away.

The access standards have been published.

The transaction was completed.

Will they make serious changes in this past era?

The vast battlefield was filled with tables, chairs, and benches.

The soldiers and generals had cold and strange expressions.

—They are all humans transformed from monsters, so naturally they have no normal human emotions.

They stared intently at the computer on the table, watching the battle unfold on the screen, their hands flying across the keyboard and mouse.

"Go to the middle lane."

A general coldly addressed his subordinates.

"Yes."

"You guys go ahead and watch out for ambushes."

"As ordered."

The sounds of clicking the mouse and typing on the keyboard rose and fell.

Shen Ye looked toward another position.

"Call the landlord."

"Rob the landlord."

"No grabbing."

—The sounds of playing cards rose and fell.

He then looked towards a more distant position.

"Bless the tank."

"All preparations complete." "Let's engage."

Someone shouted.

Yes.

The first condition for acceptance is—

"Those who stand at the top in all kinds of games will definitely be guided onto the ship."

In the endless fragments of history.

All the monsters have begun their battle in the game!
At this moment.

A second condition for induction from the future has emerged:
"He is proficient in everything from smoking and drinking to clubbing and all forms of pleasure."

So the monsters played games while drinking and smoking.

The loser stands up and starts dancing.

Followed by.

The final condition for admission has been announced:
"Men and women who meet the above two conditions must be proficient in love among humans, become Casanovas, and reproduce and raise offspring like humans."

—This is the last one!

The monsters stopped.

They looked at each other.

What is dating?

Someone asked a question.

“It’s an activity that attracts others in order to reproduce,” another person said.

"Shall we try?"

"You're too weak, get lost."

As the two were talking, they noticed several other people embracing each other.

"it's useless."

The knowledgeable monster from before said coldly:
"You are both men and cannot reproduce. Besides, you have no feelings for each other."

The men released each other expressionlessly and then began searching for women.

Shen Ye breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

"It's done..."

he whispered.

The primordial demon descended from the sky and hovered opposite him.

"Come on, let's fight to the death!"

Shen Ye was just pretending.

Yuan Mo looked at him and said, "You are very lucky."

"What do you mean?" Shen Ye asked.

"During the Age of Entropy Annihilation, there was a foolish human who betrayed all of you."

"What did he do?"

"It's nothing—we're not going to kill you now, you pathetic bastards."

After Yuan Mo finished speaking, he vanished in a flash.

Only Shen Ye remained.

His expression suddenly changed, and he looked into the void.

"The fourth mission of the Eternal Poem: Eternal Night."

Yes.

The deal with the monster was merely a stopgap measure.

What we really need to do is complete this task!
Go find that non-existent great war!
Without much hesitation.

Shen Ye pushed open a door and went inside.

Another piece of history.

He appeared quietly and stood in front of a woman.

——Xiao Mengyu!

"Shen Ye?"

Xiao Mengyu looked at this younger version of Shen Ye and spoke.

“It’s me,” Shen Ye said.

"What happened? We were clearly surrounded and died in battle, so how did we come back to life?" Xiao Mengyu asked in confusion.

"There's no time to explain, I have something important to ask you," Shen Ye said.

“Go ahead,” Xiao Mengyu said.

"Can you find your master?" Shen Ye asked.

“I only received the inheritance; I have never actually met my master,” Xiao Mengyu said.

"Tsk, that's it."

Shen Ye sighed, then his eyes suddenly lit up again.

"Walk."

He led Xiao Mengyu through the door, and they were immediately transported into another fragment of history.

This is a cemetery.

A man stands in the cemetery, looking at the words on the tombstone.

——Xu Xingke!

"Teacher," Shen Ye called out.

Xu Xingke turned around and saw that it was Shen Ye and Xiao Mengyu. A trace of emotion finally appeared on his face:
"Why are you here?"

"Teacher, do you have a key that can summon someone to your presence?" Shen Ye asked.

“Ah, I do have that entry,” Xu Xingke said.

"Great, Xiao Mengyu, tell me your master's name," Shen Ye said.

“…I don’t know either,” Xiao Mengyu said.

Shen Ye froze.

"I'm sorry," Xiao Mengyu sighed.

"...It's alright, I acted impulsively, I'll think about it again," Shen Ye said.

"Is that person very important?" Xu Xingke asked.

“It’s very important,” Shen Ye said.

The three of them fell into deep thought.

Xiao Mengyu's eyes flickered, and after hesitating several times, she finally spoke:

"Perhaps there is someone who can help."

"Who?" Shen Ye asked.

“…Song Yinchen,” Xiao Mengyu said.

"Why?" Xu Xingke asked.

Xiao Mengyu raised her hand.

Suddenly, clusters of dark flames appeared in her hands.

“Sometimes I feel that this flame has a mind of its own… It’s like the corner of a spell, and Song Yinchen just happens to be good at memory-related abilities.”

Xiao Mengyu said.

Shen Ye's heart skipped a beat.

She's right!
Why can't the apocalypse be a technique?
Isn't it perfectly normal for a magical being to possess sentience?

"Wait for me."

Shen Ye pushed open a door and was about to go in when Xu Xingke called out, "Song Yinchen."

There was a "whoosh" sound.

Song Yinchen then came over.

After listening to the three people's explanations, she took a few steps back and carefully observed the dark flames on Xiao Mengyu's body.

A moment.

“No,” Song Yinchen shook her head and said, “Your strength is too weak.”

"What does letting you explore the Flames of Doomsday have to do with my strength?" Xiao Mengyu glared at her.

“You are too weak, so you can only sense the slight fluctuations of the flames and are unable to probe its memories at all,” Song Yinchen said.

Hopes were dashed once again.

The four fell silent again.

Shen Ye suddenly remembered something and said:

"If the flames reach a certain level, will it be possible to probe their memories?"

“Yes,” Song Yinchen said.

Shen Ye was engulfed in dark flames and asked, "What about me?"

Song Yinchen looked at it carefully, then shook her head again and said:

“You are better than that little bastard—no, better than Xiao, but the power fluctuations of the Blazing Flame are not enough to pursue its true intelligence.”

Before she could say anything more, Shen Ye raised his hand and suddenly activated "Void Creation of Fate".

The tiny, glowing text quickly appeared:
“You have activated the ‘Fate Creator’ ability ‘Void Fate Creation’.”

"The current Doomsday Destruction Flame has gained sentience, and its 'Doomsday' trait has risen to SSS level."

boom--

Countless dark flames rose from Shen Ye's body, gradually transforming into a human figure.

"Out!"

The group shouted in unison.

……

the other side.

Among those countless fragments of history.

In a certain fragment of history.

One male and one female.
