Arad's unruly savior

Chapter 3861 The Snake's Remains
Wow~!

The divine chains that seemed to extend from the entity of absolute order suddenly began to shake. Each of the rings, composed of different runes, was glowing and colliding. This was because Ye Lin had accidentally touched a few of the chains while rescuing Shub. The divine chains were like wind chimes being blown by the wind under the eaves.

The sound of the divine chains colliding was crisp, like pearls falling into a jade plate, like celestial music playing. It was particularly clear and pleasant to hear in the void filled with golden light, and contained a mysterious power.

With the ripples of sound, the mysteriously appearing giant eye suddenly shifted its target, and strange colors resembling blood vessels gradually intertwined in its pupil, coldly staring at Ye Lin, whose expression was strange.

Shub had clearly experimented before; the divine chains were illusory to the naked eye, and the divine body could easily pass through them, yet they were indestructible. Moreover, the domineering characteristics of the Crimson Abyss power could not take effect, and the offspring could not be deprived. This seemed to symbolize that absolute order was inviolable and that the rules within that order must be followed.

Ye Lin was surprised, and then tried to grab a divine chain beside him. Sure enough, he could feel a clear solidity in his hand, and it was extremely cold, like iron filled with cold air in the snow.

From a distance, the divine chains resembled a torrential downpour, but considering the grandeur of the stars, each chain was estimated to be tens of thousands of miles thick. Yet, as Ye Lin approached, he easily grasped them in his palm, making them resemble a string of wind chimes.

Ye Lin examined the divine chain in his hand. He only held two of the rings, which were two runes. The runes in his hand were radiant and dazzling. From a distance, they seemed to be a fixed, mysterious rune pattern, but when held in his palm, they kept changing, sometimes like a dragon flying, sometimes like a phoenix dancing.

"Order..." Ye Lin felt that his mind was clear and transparent, like crystal, and he had entered a very profound and special state.

He seemed to see the universe and all things mysteriously disintegrating before his eyes: fire should be blazing, water should be nourishing, life and death should be cyclical... all things in nature follow a mysterious order, exerting all their effects within their own domain.

"This is the most fundamental rule of the universe. It does not belong to spacetime, but it forms the implicit framework of the universe. The essence of these divine chains may truly touch upon the status of creation."

Ye Lin's thoughts raced like lightning. While appreciating the benefits brought by the Order God Chain, he became increasingly cautious. He didn't forget the eyes below, nor did he forget that this was the territory of the blind and foolish.

"The Book of Order with squinty eyes is also a corresponding part of the original universe, but it is more like a manager who exercises order. The entity behind the divine chains here can be understood as order itself."

Not far away, Shub Nicholas watched as Ye Lin casually grabbed a chain of order and examined it as if lifting a curtain. Her "clear" eyes widened, and then she gritted her teeth, defiantly trying to grab another chain of order beside her.

Shub comforted herself, saying, "The word 'order' has a broad meaning, ranging from the rules of the mortal world to the laws of the universe. Every divine chain has a different meaning, so it is impossible for a single chain to perfectly fit all orders. He probably just happened to find one that suits him."

However, something happened that almost drove Shub crazy: the Chain of Order she reached for was still illusory. No matter how much she "waved her arms and legs" beside it, she was so angry that her hair was about to stand on end. She tried everything but couldn't grab onto the physical object.

"Change to another one." Shub gritted her teeth and ran towards another chain of divine order. She completely ignored the terrifying eyes below, even though they had attacked her.

The slender, fair hand passed right through it without creating the slightest ripple. The divine chain, radiating golden light, was like an untouchable phantom, as if it refused to acknowledge Shub's approach.

"Damn it!"

Shub hurriedly ran towards another chain of divine order. She believed her guess was probably correct; the chains likely possessed compatibility, just like the primordial power.

Only the Creator Being can perfectly match all order.

Seeing that Ye Lin's efforts were effective, Bubble couldn't sit still any longer. She secretly summoned the hidden sphere left in the outer universe and then transformed into light, rushing towards the Order God Chain, hoping to gain some benefits from it.

"Roar!"

Below, the enormous pupils were now covered with interwoven multicolored blood vessels, and once again a terrifying and awe-inspiring sound rang out. A monstrous aura, like a waterfall cascading backward, surged up, transforming into tangible darkness and condensing into countless sharp rays of light.

"Get out of my way, don't get in my way, I don't care who you are."

Bubble let out a cold rebuke, and the endless power in his hand condensed into infinitely colored light, which he directly suppressed downwards. Thicker and more terrifying beams of light burst forth, showing no mercy whatsoever.

Now that something resembling a creator-level being has appeared, no one could help but be excited. Given the chance, she would naturally want to try it out and see if she could seize an opportunity for advancement.

Even if the fourth son is truly blind and foolish, so what? At worst, we can just say we don't know him, we don't recognize him, and since he has no mark or name, who would know who he is?

Besides, she's already prepared to marry someone, so why would she care about this?

boom!
Bubble appeared directly in its true form, a sphere radiating boundless light like a blazing sun, charging headlong towards the torrential rain of divine chains, its style characterized by casting a wide net.

Wow…

Most of the divine chains were passed through in an illusory form, and then one of them bent sharply, shook violently, and shone brightly. Bubble had actually found the one that suited her.

On the other side, Shub's expression suddenly darkened, as if a storm was about to break, looking very unpleasant and hiding a hint of cold killing intent.

Her previous agreement with Ye Lin and Pao Pao was only a verbal agreement, without any real restrictions or punishments. Moreover, the two of them did try it after she did, so it cannot be considered a breach of contract.

Seeing that Ye Lin and Pao Pao have both made progress while she is still running around in vain, it is inevitable that her mood will be stirred.

It seems that Bubble's headstrong approach has some merit, focusing on "large quantities to satisfy" and taking on one target after another.

Shub pondered whether she should also reveal her true form to try, but Bubble's true form could be considered the sun, while her true form...

Immediately, the pure divine body that Shub had carefully created began to change. It still did not manifest its true form, but instead became enormous and, like Bubble, rampaged around.

From Ye Lin's perspective, the gigantic Shub goddess could pluck stars from the sky and grasp the moon. Her blooming skirt was like a celestial canopy covering the stars, and her towering chest seemed to hide two suns inside her clothes, truly embodying the truth of the universe.

He instinctively, subconsciously, looked up and saw under Shub's skirt, exclaiming in surprise, "Steamed bun?"

Finally, the frenzied Shub encountered a divine chain radiating green light, dazzling and flowing with infinitely unpredictable runes. It drew near to her and conveyed a mysterious sensation.

“There is indeed a concept of compatibility, but why did my divine chains shrink while theirs remained unchanged and were still extremely large?” A question flashed through Ye Lin’s mind.

Just as the three were immersed in comprehending the absolute order, the eyes below finally couldn't hold back their furious emotions.

The enormous eyes seemed to close, as if a sun had been extinguished, and the void darkened slightly. Then, many slippery, terrifying tentacles, covered with eyes, hands, hooves, and other parts of creatures, emerged, like strangling vines, binding the chains of order and climbing upwards.

The faint sound of crashing waves could be heard; a colossal creature was leaving its dwelling place. Splash...

The chains of order resonated, vast and boundless, a torrential downpour of chains, almost every one with terrifying tentacles binding and climbing upwards, a malevolent aura swirling, and terrifying monsters rising.

Shub awoke from her special state, a rare expression of disbelief appearing on her face. She had finally managed to touch a tangible divine chain and made some progress. She could now touch almost all the monsters below and was climbing upwards.

If the standard for conforming to absolute order is determined by the number of chains touched, wouldn't that mean that the monster below has an extremely high degree of conformity and is likely to become a new primordial being?

“He must be the fourth son.” Bubble quickly made the judgment, and it was pretty much the same; only the fourth son had such majesty.

"Do it."

Shub's face was cold, and she was even more decisive, going all out directly. The power of the Crimson Abyss contained the decaying power of the primordial beginnings, and she had completed the initial fusion, making her stronger than before.

Several tentacles suddenly swelled up, as if transforming into a bulging belly, inside which new life was being conceived. Then, the surface tore open as if a hemorrhage had occurred, and many sticky embryos sprang out.

Then the embryos began to decay in all directions, rotting away like rotten fruit, emitting a pungent odor and putrid liquid.

It's not just the decay that comes with age, but also the decay of one's state of being.

Bubble also made its move, sending colorful stars formed by endless power crashing down below, like the fall of a galaxy. A whole star system withered into a meteor shower, each one capable of destroying the world.

Ye Lin, now disguised as Hastur, the Yellow King, used his power to unleash a series of powerful attacks, temporarily suppressing the terrifying being below who appeared to be the Fourth Son.

Faced with the combined attack of three top gods, the fourth son, despite his innate strength, was completely at a disadvantage. Many of his tentacles burst open, leaving him a bloody mess, and he slid off the chains of order.

Only when the fourth child was blasted to pieces, falling helplessly into the bottomless abyss, did Ye Lin and the others stop and watch.

Ye Lin remotely retrieved a drop of the fourth child's blood, analyzing and studying its secrets. The blood was a deathly black, icy and frosty. Shub was also refining the part of the embryo that had been stripped away after being hit by the power of the Red Abyss, turning it into her own power.

“Strange, the divine laws in the blood are very thin and discontinuous,” Ye Lin said.

Shub coldly said, "It's more like a snake's molt, with traces but no real flesh and soul. It's probably not the Fourth Son's true form."

"above!"

Bubble suddenly looked up and saw that the monster that had just fallen into the abyss had actually appeared at the top of the sky. It was a monster with the style of an Outer God, its body was like a bloated pile of flesh, flowing with rotten liquid, and filled with pure chaotic mist, and it had a huge, one-eyed head.

On Him, one can see features of many creatures: scales, horns, a snake's tail, a ferocious maw full of teeth, and those slippery tentacles.

Ye Lin narrowed his eyes slightly. He saw that with the appearance of the fourth son, the Order God Chain was directly embedded into his flesh and blood, without presenting a perfect fusion.

The two runes he had just held in his hand had a warm glow that enveloped his palm, presenting a harmonious appearance.

"I don't care about this or that, you deserve to die." Shub attacked directly.

The power of the Crimson Abyss is a twisted and mutated life attribute, and the power of decay is an inevitable process between life and death. Although decay is incompatible with her own authority, Shub still found a way to forcibly merge with it.

Bubble also went all out, transforming into a blazing sun, not caring about revealing its true form.

Of the three pillar gods' true forms, the sphere of Bubble is undoubtedly the most acceptable from a human aesthetic point of view.

Bubble and Shub removed their disguises, and Night Forest continued to attack in the form of the Yellow King Hastur. The monster, suspected to be the fourth son, was terrifying, carrying enormous pollution and capable of shaking the chains of order.

However, Ye Lin and the other two were no ordinary characters. They represented the strongest combat power below the Divine Realm. At this moment, they joined forces with an invincible spirit. Nothing could stop them. One after another, the laws of the Divine Realm blasted over, and the monster roared in pain.

Blood rained down, turning into burning flames; souls shattered, and all traces vanished. Ye Lin and her companions annihilated the monster from every angle, preventing its resurrection.

Bubble held a bone in his hand, which was turning into dust. He said, "It's probably something like a snake's molt left behind by the fourth son. The laws of the divine realm are too thin to have the desired effect."

The snake's molt was completely erased, but the real fourth son was nowhere to be found.

Shub and Bubble continued their search for a divine chain that they could actually touch, deciding that instead of looking for the fourth child, they might as well wait here and wait for it to come to them.

Based on the connection between the Fourth Son and the Absolute Order residing in the same place, Ye Lin made a reasonable guess and whispered:

"Could it be that order and chaos cannot coexist harmoniously, and that blind fools cannot integrate with order when they are not fully awakened? That is why a fourth child was born, who ascended to a new creative status here with a new identity and cause and effect?"

"Here, there is a high probability that the will of the blind and foolish is slightly awakening. Has anyone seen through my multiple layers of disguise?"

Looking down into the dark, bottomless abyss, Ye Lin recalled the mysterious appearance of the fourth son's remains in the sky. He immediately had an idea, made a decision, and set off downwards.

The abyss was icy cold, illuminated only by the light of the divine chains, like a desolate wasteland.

Soon, Ye Lin made a new discovery: a metal fragment, resembling the blade of a rapier or a double-edged dagger, still bearing traces of divine laws, shimmering faintly in the void.

"Is this a fragment of a divine artifact? Before us, Kahn was probably not the only one who came here."

The chain of order seemed to fall into an abyss of infinite distance. Ye Lin held a chain in his hand and traced it all the way back. Finally, after a long time, he saw a hazy glimmer of light.

There, endless chaotic mists swirled, and the power of laws spread. Ye Lin saw that a magnificent royal court floated in the chaotic energy, with many stars transformed into decorative beads of light, boundless and vast, like a small universe.

"Chaos...Royal Court?" Ye Lin twitched the corner of his mouth.
