Arad's unruly savior

The time it took to ascend from the Transcendent Realm to the Divine Realm, through the replica reflected by the Ninth Path, was negligible.

Ye Lin looked solemnly at the seemingly infinitely high mountain. He was standing at a special angle, which just avoided the reflection of the mirror.

Only those who are directly facing the Ninth Road will be reflected in it.

Only those who come into close contact with it will be able to leave the reflection.

He also noticed that the promoted messenger conveyed both joy and regret, which seemed quite strange.

Although advancing to the Divine Realm through the Ninth Path is similar to being a transcendent being blessed by the Divine Realm, one's state will be subject to corresponding limitations. Once the Ninth Path is shattered, one's realm will plummet.

But this is still an advancement to the divine realm, a leap forward, a tremendous transformation.

It's important to know that there are quite a few transcendent beings in the original universe. Theoretically, a complete planet with a civilization could give birth to a transcendent being.

However, those at the even higher level of the divine realm are extremely rare.

The primordial gods who coexisted with the primordial era, plus those who became gods over the subsequent years, numbered at most around thirty.

Even with the blessing of the Ninth Path, as long as one can achieve the divine realm relatively smoothly, those who transcend will still rush to "look in the mirror" like crazy. They can't be stopped, they are extremely hungry, their eyes are red and burning. So how can there be any regret?

Ye Lin didn't understand, so he turned to the Goddess of the End to ask about the reason for this abnormal state.

The Goddess of the End replied, "That's because the Ninth Path also has the concept of compatibility, reflecting itself and also serving as a test of compatibility."

When reflected, the infinite mountain mirrors showed no change, indicating that there was no harmony between them and that they were completely estranged from the Ninth Path.

That's why those who transcend and advance in their realms end up feeling regretful. After all, who doesn't yearn for a creator who can rival the Lord of the End?

When longing becomes an impossible reality, regret inevitably arises.

The Goddess of the End also revealed that the method for testing compatibility is simple: get close, touch, and the higher the compatibility with the Ninth Path, the clearer the reflection in the mirror will be, and the more dazzling the light will be.

The black, oil-like liquid humanoid form that the messenger presented earlier represents the worst fit, completely eliminating any possibility of it getting involved in the Ninth Path.

The one with the highest compatibility is the King of Gods. When He stands here and is reflected, about two-thirds of His body is clear, and every detail is very clean, as if reflected by a real mirror. Only the head, hands, and one-third of the area are presented as a hazy, blurred mist.

There are rumors in the final dimension that the great Lord of the End also reflected the Ninth Path, but the detailed result of the compatibility is unknown, and it is said to be frighteningly high.

Ye Lin recalled the Ninth Path he had fought against, and then compared the details of the form of the Lord of the End that Selia had given him. He was shocked to find that the two were highly similar, both possessing supreme majesty and aura, like divine kings who reigned above all else.

There is a slight sense of distortion and blurring only at the edges of the form, and it lingers there.

Looking back now, it was probably a flaw caused by the fact that the fit wasn't 100%.

Then, the compatibility of the goddess of the end is also relatively high, ranking in the top ten. When it is reflected, it is as if covered by a layer of white gauze, with some parts being very clear.

But this is meaningless. Just like the princes who are ranked lower in the primogeniture system, it is useless for them to be theoretically qualified to inherit the throne. If the person ranked higher does not die, the person ranked lower will never get a turn.

So whether it's the top ten or the top one hundred, there's not much difference.

Several other transcendent beings then reflected upon it, revealing varying degrees of ambiguity or turbidity.

Ye Lin can basically confirm that the reason for the surge in the number of Divine Realm beings in the End Time and Space is closely related to the Ninth Path.

If given the chance, it needs to be "picked up" or destroyed.

"The Ninth Way is like having a temporary holder, presenting a semi-false primordial status to bestow the grace of the transcendent as gods."

Sai Fu Po also said that she could bestow divine realms, but she would not create them indefinitely. There were no suitable candidates at the moment, and it would be best for the transcendents to break through on their own. A sudden surge in the number of divine realms would have a huge negative impact on the existing order.

"Moreover, the figure that walked out of the mirror seemed a bit strange."

As Ye Lin pondered, he suddenly noticed many gazes directed at him, all filled with intense curiosity.

When he looked up and around, those eyes quickly looked away, avoiding direct eye contact with him, worried that this thug would beat someone to death over a minor altercation.

Even the king of gods was not afraid; He cleaved through the flesh and blood fragments and refined them on the spot. What else would He not dare to do?

The king of the gods, with his hunched back and elderly appearance, had a kind smile on his wrinkled face. He looked at Ye Lin and then made an inviting gesture.

Everyone is curious about how well He, the ultimate symbol of the mirror dimension which is highly similar to the main dimension and comparable to a king, will fit in on the Ninth Path.

Ye Lin hesitated, unwilling to reflect the Ninth Path yet, because the Mirror Mountain before him seemed to be a replica, not the real original. After "picking it up," whether it could still play a role in advancing to the Divine Realm after leaving the End Time and Space was an unknown.

Moreover, he was not very willing to reflect on himself, firmly believing that he was the only one.

"I'll be the last one to go," Ye Lin replied casually, indicating that he would be the last to arrive at Yingzhao Mirror Mountain.

At the same time, he was no longer as arrogant and domineering as before, but instead had a thoughtful expression, his eyes looking at Jingshan.

After all, what lies before us is the Ninth Path, one of the Creation Ranks. Even someone as arrogant as the Symbol of the Mirror Dimension would be extremely interested in it; it's impossible for anyone to remain unmoved by it.

The king of the gods smiled and nodded in agreement, and continued to command the transcendents.

However, Ye Lin was not fooled by His seemingly kind and gentle appearance.

The gods of the end, disguised as "Darkness" and "Nameless Mist," seem to have already reflected in the mirror and did not continue to approach the vicinity. It is currently unknown how well they are compatible.

Ye Lin transmitted his voice to the Goddess of the End: "When the battle breaks out, do not resist. I will take you into my secret world."

He was prepared to overturn the table. After careful consideration, Ye Lin believed that obtaining the Ninth Path from the Lord of the End would be quite troublesome and highly unstable.

Knowing that the Lord of the End knows the Nine Tribulations of Creation, he will certainly prevent him from coming into contact with the Ninth Path.

The Mirror Mountain before him, which appeared to be a replica of the Ninth Path, contained power that Ye Lin felt was enough to help him complete his final tribulation.

That's why Ye Lin was ready to overturn the table. In addition, the darkness and the nameless mist clearly also had their own purposes and wanted to seize Mirror Mountain. During the great battle, the final spacetime would definitely be in complete chaos and utter confusion.

Taking the Goddess of the End away beforehand would allow him to act more freely. The Goddess of the End's eyes flickered slightly as she refused, "Don't worry about me, it's pointless."

"When you have completed your salvation and extended the parallel dimension, I will disappear."

The destruction of a parallel dimension signifies its end, which is why the corresponding symbols do not disappear.

The nine parallel dimensions that still exist today correspond to eight End Symbols. If the future can continue indefinitely without completing the End, the significance of the Symbols will disappear, and they will also disappear, as if they had never been born.

Ye Lin angrily retorted, "What nonsense are you spouting? I will continue this beautiful world, and you will certainly not die either."

The goddess of the end asked in a detached, emotionless tone, "Why?"

"Because I didn't want you to die, you helped me a lot..."

"Also, since I've slept with you, I naturally have to take responsibility for you."

"From now on, every day...every week, I'll stab the traitor of the final timeline hard."

The goddess of the end then fell silent, seemingly acquiescing to his words and ignoring their underlying meaning.

Mount Mirror, shrouded in chaotic energy, is majestic and imposing, surpassing even the gods. Almost all the top combat forces of the final timeline have gathered here.

Ye Lin was about to make a move. He didn't know if "Darkness" and "Nameless Mist" had seen through the fact that the Mirror Mountain in front of him was a replica. If they "picked up" the replica, it would still cause trouble for everyone.

Moreover, he was unwilling to let the Ninth Path reflect his own image, and subconsciously resisted contact with it.

Just as a sharp glint flashed in his eyes and he was about to overturn the table, Mirror Mountain suddenly burst into light. Its smooth, mirror-like surface shimmered with mist, and then a precious light emerged, connecting heaven and earth, and even a corner of the final spacetime was tinged with the color of sunset.

Then the gods were astonished to see that dense, dark red roots slowly spread outward from the mirror-like surface of Mirror Mountain at an absurdly fast speed. In just a few blinks of an eye, they tightly wrapped around a section of the majestic mountain, and something terrifying was surging outward.

The blurry outline of the object is revealed in the mirror, then it extends outward, like a mysterious plant growing from the mirror mountain.

The Goddess of the End transmitted a message: She is the third King of the Gods, and the one who is highly compatible with the Ninth Path. Only those who are highly compatible can enter the mirror of the Ninth Path.

He can switch between a plant state and a humanoid form at any time, but usually prefers the latter and only occasionally appears in his current form.

“A mutated Wuxuan? Or rather, the opposite of Wuxuan.” Ye Lin observed the King of Gods and found that the other party’s attributes were completely opposite to those of Wuxuan.

Wuxuan is the first plant to take root on the planet of life, and it can give rise to all the plant systems. After it sprouts and grows, life force blossoms around it, and all things in nature will gradually take shape.

The plant-type king of gods before us possesses the power to devour all things.

It is foreseeable that His roots will penetrate the earth, reach into the core, turn abundance into desolation, and finally crumble into dust.

"Is there another world inside the mirror?" Ye Lin pondered, temporarily suppressing his intention to make a move, and preparing to take a closer look.

The king of plant life fully emerged from the mirror, and then a dazzling light flashed, laws flowed, and it transformed into a man with a full head of white hair. He was quite heroic in appearance, with extremely gloomy eyes, and when he scanned everyone, it seemed that everyone was his enemy.

Finally, He lingered on Ye Lin for two seconds, then looked away and said:

"It's about time to cleave the future and let the primordial universe be covered in decaying dust."

Ye Lin observed that most of the beings, including the Goddess of the End, were in a state of slight confusion. They seemed to know a little about the matter, but not much, and didn't know what to do.

The kind-faced, hunched old man said, "There are still some people whose images have not been reflected."

"It's alright, it's enough, and... we can't continue to squander the power of the Ninth Path." The God of the End, with a gloomy look in his eyes, turned to look at Mirror Mountain.

The gods were immediately astonished to see that nearly three-quarters of the figure reflected in the mirror was very clear, and the degree of harmony with Him had significantly improved compared to the past.

By what means is He constantly bringing Him closer to the Ninth Way?

Another thought flashed through the mind of the God of the End: he suspected that the King of Gods was deliberately targeting the Symbol of the Mirror Dimension, denying Him the opportunity to reflect the Ninth Path.

The current Mirror Dimension Symbol is already able to fight another King and gain the upper hand. If it were to merge with its mirror reflection, it would be unimaginable. It might be able to trample several Kings under its feet and become the number one person under the Lord of the End.

"I wonder who is stronger, the Symbol of the Mirror Dimension or Ye Lin, who has already begun to break through to the Creation Realm?" some gods discussed.

"Right now, it's probably not as good, since Ye Lin has mastered a complete path, but if he incorporates the mirror reflection, it's hard to say."

The King of Gods, whose body was covered in eyes, also spoke up, secretly stopping Ye Lin from reflecting: "The important matter is the priority. Today, tear apart everything in the original universe and bury them in the past."

Many beings from the final faction were watching the show, thinking that the Symbol of the Mirror Dimension should have realized what was going on; He was clearly being targeted.

Given His temperament, a major battle is likely to follow.

However, after a while, they saw that the Mirror Dimension Symbol was not angry, but had a peaceful and serene expression.

"That's true. He only won by a small margin. He was clearly still somewhat lacking when facing two king-level opponents."

"Yes, calming down is a wise choice."

Finally, Ye Lin roughly understood what they wanted to do.

The final spacetime is the ultimate destination of everything, the end of the river of time, where there is no more distant future. Even if one were to tear through the void with overwhelming power to strike at the future, all one would see is true nothingness and darkness, which ruthlessly swallows everything.

Therefore, the End faction wants to use the Ninth Path to connect with and open up the future, and to prematurely evolve the state of decay and corruption of the original universe.

If this succeeds, the original universe will become the past in time.

The original universe is the present, the end is the future, and now they want to turn the end into the present.

"rise!"

The three kings of the gods roared and attacked together, shaking the bottomless and topless Mirror Mountain. With the combined blessing of the gods, countless runes of law lit up on the Mirror Mountain, as if they were attached to stars. Chaos spread and transformed into a blazing white spear that could pierce through everything.
