Gatekeeper of all realms

Chapter 697 Ceasefire? No, observe the war!
"hiss--"

"what--"

In the corridor.

Several people were smoking.

But when a noise came from outside, they tacitly extinguished the smoke and hid it in the void.

They only started smoking again after everyone else had left the corridor.

“Keep this secret, everyone.”

A man said in a low voice.

"of course."

"Don't worry."

"I also want to improve my ranking."

Others chimed in.

—That's right, everyone has to work hard to get a high ranking in the game in order to have a chance to board the ship.

However, the human body is easily fatigued.

And the game will be constantly updated.

This makes playing games for long periods of time a very tiring thing.

In this situation, someone discovered a secret.

Cigarettes can help the human body "wake up".

It can temporarily improve a person's concentration!

Those who discovered this secret gathered together and quietly used this method to refresh themselves.

boom--

A loud bang came from outside.

The group rushed out and stood on the third-floor corridor, looking out.

A human was lying dead on the ground outside the building.

"It's that guy who's ranked third."

someone whispered.

“He originally had a chance to compete for first place,” another person said.

“But what’s the point of being killed?” another person asked, puzzled.

on the square.

A gigantic tree, seemingly reaching the sky and touching the earth, appeared in phantom form.

With the blessing of this divine image, the dead person was resurrected.

"Ah... damn it..."

The man jumped up, rushed into the online gaming center, grabbed a computer, and quickly logged into his account.

Drop drop!
A series of prompts appeared on the computer screen:
"You were killed in the battle just now."

"competition is over."

Your ranking has dropped.

The man stared blankly at the computer screen, then suddenly roared:
"asshole--"

He rushed toward the higher floors.

Soon.

A series of booming sounds came from upstairs.

—They've obviously started fighting!

This made the few people who had hidden away to smoke look thoughtful.

Yes.

Can't win in the game —

You can interfere with the other party in the real world!
Therefore, it was wrong to underestimate the game from the beginning.

Because humans can easily manipulate the game outside of its controls—

Eliminate the enemy!

It will affect their record!
"This is probably how humans play games too—so this is the real way to play games," a smoker said.

“That’s right,” another smoker said. “It’s already quite difficult to improve your combat record while also protecting yourself from assassination.”

The third smoker exclaimed:

"I take back what I said earlier. Humans really do have a knack for devising confrontational events."

Not only those who were smoking, but the other humans also showed thoughtful expressions.

Almost at the same time——

Some people are already eyeing those ranked higher than themselves with ill intent!
However, what these people didn't know was—

In the world.

In an infinite world.

In a fragmented world that runs through countless historical moments.

Things that are even more "sobering" than cigarettes are being discovered, identified, and used at an accelerated pace.

Things like suddenly killing an opponent and causing their ranking to drop are also happening frequently.

All sorts of creative ideas have emerged.

For example, blindfolding, slowing down internet speed, cutting off the power, spending real money on in-game purchases, hiring someone to play for you...

A game-based civilization that transcends both virtual and real worlds has been born!
Besides.

Those who stand at the pinnacle of their respective games then begin to face the final challenge.

To fall in love and have children.

This is something that they find extremely puzzling.

Procreation without emotional connection is not permitted.

Using human bodies, they can even fall in love with each other and then reproduce and raise offspring in a human way.

Too difficult.

A seaside.

Under the night.

A man and a woman, each holding a book.

"Do you love me?" the woman read from the book.

“I love you to death,” the man repeated.

"Shall we get married?" the woman asked.

"Do I need to propose?" the man asked.

"No, you should first prepare three kinds of divine artifacts, three hundred boxes of void treasures, and a historical fragment specifically for our lives," the woman said.

The man looked up, surprised, and asked, "Is this also a line?"

“Yes—but I naturally need more than a typical human woman,” the woman said.

"……"man.

"what happened?"

"I can't bring myself to love."

……

Leaving aside the various problems the monsters face.

the other side.

On Shen Ye's side.

Endless dark flames rose from his body, gradually transforming into a human form and revealing facial features through the future-oriented technique of "creating life from the void".

—But it was Shen Ye's appearance.

thump.

He landed on the ground, yawned, and said:

Who woke me up?

Several people looked at each other.

—This destructive, apocalyptic flame can actually transform into humanoid life!
And he looks exactly like Shen Ye!
"I was the one who woke you up, and you still don't know who you are?"

Shen Ye asked.

"I am your grandfather, why don't you kneel down?" the post-apocalyptic version of Shen Ye shouted.

"..." Shen Ye.

Is this guy out of his mind?

According to the power of the "Destiny Master," this guy has been enlightened and should fight wholeheartedly for me.

Shen Ye extended his hand.

The power to dispel the "Void Creation of Life" technique gathered in his hand.

at the moment.

Once this spell is dispelled, the apocalyptic version of Shen Ye will return to his original dark flames!
"Wait a moment!"

"The apocalyptic version of Shen Ye quickly said."

"What? You want me to kneel down?" Shen Ye asked.

The apocalyptic version of Shen Ye knelt on one knee, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Father, please don't kill me."

"..." Shen Ye.

"..." Xu Xingke.

"..." Xiao Mengyu. Song Yinchen grew impatient and stepped forward, placing her hand on his forehead.

—The art of memory activation!
"Don't move, or I'll dismiss you."

Shen Ye immediately replied.

In the apocalyptic version, Shen Ye had no choice but to remain motionless.

A moment.

Song Yinchen's eyes lit up, and she said:

"found it!"

"Have you found the place where the High Dimension Lord and the final battle of the apocalypse took place?" Shen Ye asked.

“It’s not in any historical fragment, because the historical fragments here have limited capacity and cannot contain that battle,” Song Yinchen said.

"So it doesn't exist at all?" Xu Xingke asked.

"Existence—in fact, within the forms of the monsters, they have devoted all their efforts to reconstructing that battle—this flame is a wisp that escaped from that battle."

Song Yinchen said.

The forms of the monsters...

The others were still somewhat bewildered, but Shen Ye couldn't help but feel a chill.

That tree.

The Tree of Dharma Form, capable of resurrecting all monsters!
Such a decisive battle would make sense if it took place in a tree.

Only that tree could withstand the battle between the two sides!

Shen Ye looked at his post-apocalyptic self.

—This guy is no longer of any use.

"Don't kill me, buddy," the apocalyptic version of Shen Ye hurriedly said, "SSS-level apocalyptic power is no joke, I can help!"

Before Shen Ye could speak, he suddenly crashed into the void.

The entire void shattered like blackened glass, revealing a large hole.

The other side of the cave.

An extremely large tree appeared before everyone's eyes.

This tree is entirely composed of laws; simply gazing at it allows one to perceive its infinite mysteries.

It is like the only perfect existence in an infinite world.

"Let's go and see what's going on."

Shen Ye said.

"it is good."

The group jumped into the void together.

Shen Ye landed on the tree, then suddenly looked back and saw that everyone had disappeared along with the void hole.

what's the situation!
"Don't look, they can't get in."

"It's like the post-apocalyptic version of Shen Ye speaking."

"Why?" Shen Ye asked.

“Compatibility,” said the post-apocalyptic version of Shen Ye.

It suddenly transformed back into endless flames and soared upwards with a roar.

"Wait a moment--"

Shen Ye shouted.

However, the flames ignored his call and flew straight to the top of the tree.

Looking from afar.

At the top of the tree, two figures circled and chased each other, exuding an extremely powerful aura.

If you look more closely, you'll find that the two figures are locked in a fierce battle around a glittering fragment of history.

As Shen Ye was looking, he noticed lines of faintly glowing text quietly appearing:

"You have completed the mission 'Eternal Night'."

"You have now found the strange emergence at the top of the sacred tree and discovered the historical fragments where that decisive battle took place."

You have received a reward:

"All abilities and skills are upgraded by one level."

call--

Shen Ye's aura emanated from his body, like a ray of light appearing on his skin.

—All attributes have been raised to a higher level, to the point that even the power fluctuations have materialized!
"..." Shen Ye.

He looked down at the sacred tree.

Just now--

All the power flowed from the sacred tree, entered his body, and helped him to improve.

How could I possibly draw upon the power of the sacred tree?

Suddenly, lines of brand-new, faintly glowing text appeared:
"The fourth mission of the Eternal Poem has been activated once again."

"The second task is issued."

"Stop the war."

"Description: As the Holy Tree has deduced, the final battle between the High Dimensional Lord and the Doomsday of Destruction has continued for endless days. You must stop it all."

Mission objective: Prevent the final battle.

"Mission Reward: Special Affix Appears."

"—This entry was conceived when you were fighting against all monsters, and it will truly arrive when you complete this quest!"

Shen Ye carefully read through the mission instructions.

I?
How can we stop the decisive battle between those two beings?

Just kidding!
Although those two beings were merely "dummy figures" simulated by the monsters, they already contained their true power.

How desperate must I be to want to die in order to stop their final battle?
Shen Ye thought for a moment, then started climbing the tree.

Yes.

Let's climb up first.

He leaped upwards and soon reached a point several thousand meters above the treetops.

The two combatants were completely obscured, their appearances and figures were also blurry.

Each of their clashes shattered the void completely.

The void at the treetop is shattered!
A series of violent auras raged through the shattered void.

Shen Ye firmly believed that any being that clashed with those malevolent battle auras would only face certain death.

Task……

It was to stop these two from continuing their fight.

how can that be!

I have indeed improved by one level in all aspects, but to fight these two—

just forget it.

This mission completely disregards human life and death!
Suppressing his frustration, Shen Ye simply stood still and watched the two fight closely.

These are the two most outstanding individuals in all realms.

Their matches are worth studying!

Shen Ye stared intently at the two of them.

Every move they made, every word they uttered, and every action they took captivated Shen Ye.

...Yes.

Why should I run around like this? Why should I fight those monsters?

Why not learn from their strengths and advantages right here on the treetops?
When a thought arises.

Lines of tiny, glowing text quietly appeared:

"You are observing the High Dimensional Lord and the destruction of the end times."

"Should we intervene?"

"Or should we continue watching?"

"Continue watching," Shen Ye said.

He suddenly sensed something and craned his neck to look up.

As he moved, several new lines of small text quietly appeared before his eyes:

"You are a second-tier Destiny Creator."

"All skills and techniques are deconstructed in your eyes and will eventually become a part of you."

A series of intense collisions echoed through the void.

This is a scene of two people exchanging blows on the treetop.

—Even the aftershocks can be quite disruptive to ordinary people.

Yes.

I felt like an ordinary person in their eyes.

This is really difficult!
Shen Ye took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and carefully observed the two people's attacks and defenses.

Learn!

Once you've mastered it all, it's mine!

He made a silent vow in his heart.
