Arad's unruly savior

What one sees is all semi-illusion, seemingly real yet not real; this has always been a characteristic of the path of illusion, where a reflection of reality is hidden in the haze.

Now, Ye Lin has used the power of the Path of Rules to separate the two worlds, forming an unbreakable order. Even powerful creators can no longer arbitrarily interfere with the real world.

As the Creator Beings looked out, the outline of the primordial universe was already hazy, with the faint glow of stars visible, as if in a distant fog.

Or to put it another way, the Creator Beings were actually temporarily banished by the Night Forest.

The Lord of the End scrutinized Ye Lin with a sudden gaze, feeling a very bad feeling. He had realized that Ye Lin, the Ascended One, was at least at the same level as himself, having completed the fusion of the second path and simultaneously wielding the power of two different paths.

He also believed that the Path of Rules must have even more terrifying power, hiding inviolable rules and the punishment for violating them, which would surely cause great trouble for the individual.

Unexpectedly, the path of rules that Ye Lin had meticulously manipulated, after piercing and shattering Azathoth's body like a harpoon, actually began to restrict the power range of the creators.

The power of the individual is temporarily unable to interfere with the real world.

The Lord of the End believes that Ye Lin still cares about the real world that is about to be destroyed, and that humanity's rich but useless emotions have once again led him to make an irrational choice.

Moreover, the Ninth Path, which is the Path of Illusion, is a reflection of the Creation Ranks. Those Rank-level figures, radiant and faceless with no gender, were also brought to the Path of Rules.

The Lord of the End spoke, saying indifferently, "I don't know what level you've reached in applying the rules, or what taboos you've set. But at this point, there's no possibility of reconciliation between us. Only a death battle can bring this to a close."

As His cold and ruthless voice spread, the space along the Path of Rules seemed to be covered with a layer of winter's ice and snow, the chill penetrating to the bone, freezing cold from the depths of one's soul.

If it is not a being of a certain status, the Lord of the End can freeze it with just a single word.

"Why?" Celia asked, seemingly puzzled by His explanation.

The Lord of the End symbolizes the end of everything, the final destination of all things. Through His hand, He has destroyed countless parallel dimensions. He has also attacked the original universe multiple times, shattering the universe itself, causing countless stars to fall, and extinguishing the flames of civilization.

If it weren't for Ye Lin and the elemental goddess Puxia's prior preparations, using chaos and existence to create multiple layers of falsehoods to deceive and mislead, the original universe would already be collapsing and heading towards destruction.

From any perspective, there is no possibility of reconciliation between the two sides.

Dangerous factors must be nipped in the bud.

Celia was actually asking about the extreme scenario after abandoning reason and emotion: that is, for the Lord of the End to lay down his sword, fall into a deep sleep, and then have his own beings find a way to break through the hopeless "End," change the inevitable death and destruction, and continue a new future.

Of course, it's impossible for them to shake hands and make peace; she was only asking about this possibility, why the Lord of the End is so certain that it can't be achieved.

Was it because He was extremely arrogant by nature, believing He could defeat the dual-personality Night Forest, that He refused to turn back and wanted to settle the final outcome in one battle, or was there some other mysterious hidden reason behind it?

The Lord of the End first glanced at Night Forest, then lingered briefly on Azathoth's true form, before looking meaningfully at the Great Will sealed within the Path of Reincarnation, and said:
"Their state is what you will be like in the future, and it is also my state."

Upon hearing this, Remy suddenly realized and said, "I see, I think I understand now."

She immediately gave her guess: whichever path of rank one possesses, whether one is an ascendant or born with a rank, their life instincts will gradually approach the attribute state of that rank path.

Disorder, the end, and creation have all shown traces of following instincts. Among them, the path of creation, through "splitting and reorganizing," has made its own state less extreme than the other two creation positions.

Remy then recalled:

"As the primordial gods, we have always been in a similar situation: divine indifference, a lofty gaze, listening to the primal praises of the world, yet giving no response whatsoever, like... having the TV on while doing other work, the TV merely serving to add a little atmosphere, as if we are not on the same dimension."

As a deity who has always been very down-to-earth, Remy used a wonderful analogy: deities are like people who do the work, while the human world is like a television that is turned on most of the time, which is never glanced at, let alone empathized with the characters on the screen.

Remi explained that this was how the original God was, but later, when other gods bestowed blessings upon the world, established religions, and listened to the voices of believers, the situation gradually changed.

In other words, the personification mentioned by the Lord of the End should be avoidable through appropriate methods.

Celia looked at Ye Lin with considerable concern. So, the abnormality that appeared on him was because he had merged with the Path of Rules, which had accelerated his state of being too quickly?

The line of text he left in the mysterious space still couldn't hold back Ye Lin.

All the exchanges were completed in a very short time. Ye Lin didn't say a word and directly swung his sword at the Lord of the End. The sword light tore through the void, and the primordial chaos was surrounded by the power of the void. They ushered in the ultimate duel, fighting to the death within the rules.

The end only comes when one side falls and dies.

Is it true that the Primordial Being is immortal and indestructible, and will remain eternally radiant even if the universe is overturned? Is there a set of rules governing this, or is it simply a self-evident truth? Ye Lin believes it is worth trying.

Whether it can be completely killed or not, let's kill it a few times first.

The projection of the rank reflected in the mirror exuded an aura of the same level. The figure walked from afar, each step seemingly treading on all things in the universe, directly confronting Celia and the other beings who truly possessed ranks, and engaging in combat.

The elemental goddess Pusia said, "Although it is a near-perfect reflection, the power system it uses cannot imitate us."

The most terrifying battle of rank erupted, with the nine ranks and their respective "families" all gathering in the domain constructed by the Path of Rules, manifesting in one place for the first time in history.

Amidst the terrifying and chaotic nine supreme laws, unnoticed by anyone, a faint and mysterious aura was quietly spreading, containing chaotic yet newly born power.

Among the nine positions, the duel between Ye Lin, who simultaneously possessed two paths, and the Lord of the End was undoubtedly the most terrifying. The laws that exploded from each fierce collision tore through eternity, and the absolute void collapsed suddenly, causing the other positions to change color slightly.

The sacred chains of divine order were severed, the primordial chaos was corrupted, and mirrors shattered. The world, a tapestry of dim yellow and dark red, was torn apart. Both sides bled and shattered each other, facing life and death from the outset.

The primordial artifact wielded by the Lord of the End was enveloped in a dim yellow and dark red light, obscuring its true form. At times, it transformed into a gauntlet to meet the Primordial Sword, and at other times, it transformed into a halberd to cleave the world. Each collision carried boundless destructive power.

"What is the significance of what is inevitable?" asked the Lord of the End, his eyes cold and icy. Behind him, a hazy, otherworldly light appeared, followed by terrifying scenes of the destruction of numerous parallel dimensions.

One of the parallel dimensions was ripped apart by a terrifying claw, and the stars split open in an instant, leaving a smooth cut.

Ye Lin replied:

"If you believe that something is bound to happen and therefore do nothing to change it, then life itself, including you who belong to the realm of life, has no meaning."

"Then why don't you just die?!"

The final sound was a roar, a question. A beam of overwhelming sword light tore through the supreme laws, and the vast white sea of ​​light seemed to contain endless sword intent, slashing in the opposite direction. It was the eruption of the illusory path mirror, a strike aimed at Ye Lin, successfully reflecting his destructive sword.

Blood splattered on Ye Lin's body, bright red, glaring, and carrying the warmth of life.

Then, chaos, accompanied by chains of divine rules, imprisoned the square-shaped entity. The Lord of the End also had one arm explode, the splashing liquid glowing brilliantly, like pure liquid light, carrying a cold feeling.

On another battlefield, Celia and her companions clashed with the reflected forms. Celia's eyebrows twitched slightly. Through the reflection of the illusory path, it was clear that these forms possessed power at the level of creation.

However, as a replica of the original, after fighting it personally, one can discover that the opponent is still some distance from the true level, and all combat skills seem somewhat stiff and rigid.

Such a form might be able to sweep away the gods and destroy the universe, but when it encounters a true creator, defeat is only a matter of time.

The elemental goddess Pusia said, "Resolve this as soon as possible, and then join forces to defeat the Lord of the End."

"Something's wrong, watch out, Azathoth is rioting," Remy suddenly said, as she was responsible for stopping Azathoth.

She was already quite familiar with this "job". Since there was no original universe behind her that she needed to protect, she could act freely and dealt with it quite calmly, remaining undefeated after her sniping.

Moreover, given that Ye Lin has already mastered the path of rules, giving him time and the opportunity to coordinate the instinctive state of this initial being allows Him to re-enter slumber, giving birth to a new universe and self-cycle in a dream.

Azathoth's true form, an eternal and formless black mist that changes every second, was once a colossal entity comparable to the primordial universe, and opened its eyes as numerous as the stars.

After being shattered once by Ye Lin using the Path of Rules, the broken black mist reassembled into its original form, condensing into a huge, cold eye. Its surface appeared crystal clear, like a living eye, but its interior concealed extreme madness and distortion.

Now, that eye was trembling violently. Its abyss-like pupil suddenly narrowed into a deep, dark slit, suppressing a volcanic madness about to erupt. Then, it clearly showed signs of slowly opening.

"Be careful, that's the power of the Path of Chaos!"

Remy warned that in the next instant, Azathoth's pupils opened to their fullest extent, the deep black pupils filling the entire eye, the patterns in the pupils were magnificent and intricate, dazzling and mesmerizing, and they were funnel-shaped, becoming increasingly dark and bottomless towards the center, swallowing all the light in the world.

The ripples of the Path of Chaos swept across the land with the force of destruction, not directly attacking the physical forms of other persons, but rather unleashing a terrifying catastrophe in the spiritual realm.

All the primordial beings were momentarily stunned. In their minds, a cold pupil appeared, hanging high, looking down on all things, as if trying to parasitize it and draw their power.

"Hehe..." The Lord of the End suddenly gave a strange, cold laugh. At the corner of His eye, there were blood vessel-like protrusions, and the armor-like demonic patterns covering His body were even more vivid, writhing as if they were about to truly come to life.

The figure from the previous cycle of reincarnation, the great will, has already stepped out. With one foot, the heavens and earth trembled, and the light of creation impacted the limitations of the path of rules, seemingly wanting to descend upon the real world.

Remy and Pushia's eyes flickered, their expressions were conflicted, they were in a state of great pain, and they were torn between their inner thoughts and their own.

Celia sighed softly, lowered her head, and looked at something.

The Lord of the End surveyed the scene and said, "The Path of Chaos has awakened your latent primal instincts."

That's why Remi and Pushia, who were born as primordial gods, were in a state of intense struggle. It was because their past state of divinity and personality was influencing them, and they were about to turn into the original indifference.

His own instinct has never changed: to destroy the real world, to destroy the universe, and to bring about the end of all things.

Therefore, Azathoth's first attack only made Him feel more violent and unable to control His destructive impulses.

However, compared to their condition, the Lord of the End is more concerned about Ye Lin's current state. He wonders what kind of changes will occur after the influence of the Path of Chaos, given that he possesses two Paths of Rank.

When the gaze filled with destructive desire shifted to Ye Lin, the Lord of the End was immediately stunned. Something unexpected happened... The other party looked clear-eyed and clean, even with a smile on his lips, giving him a somewhat untouched appearance.

Ye Lin muttered to himself, "Suddenly, my thoughts feel so smooth, not stiff at all."

"Where is your instinct?!" The Lord of the End suppressed his negative emotions, his eyes cracked and bleeding. He had intended to take advantage of Azathoth's sudden outburst to destroy Night Forest in one fell swoop and annihilate it.

However, his unusual behavior forced Him to become vigilant and suspicious again.

Could it be that the influence of Azathoth's Path of Chaos, by some twist of fate, neutralized and suppressed Night Forest's previous indifference?

Thinking of this, the Lord of the End suddenly felt even more uncomfortable, and his form was about to crack apart.

"Instinct?" Ye Lin pondered for a moment, then subconsciously said, "Milk..."

He immediately shut his mouth and then swung his sword at the Lord of the End.

He has never forgotten his primary enemy.

During this process, Ye Lin took the opportunity to bombard the Great Will once again.

I should have let you enter the true cycle of reincarnation and shattered your physical form. Now you're just causing trouble and are completely useless.

"Boom!"

The invisible, disordered ripples spread wildly once again, as if freezing time and space, causing all the primordial beings to become stagnant once more.

Mysterious symbols emanated from Azathoth's eyes, and the attributes of blind folly began to spread.

Thoughts are muddled, as if filled with glue; even the movement of a single idea is extremely sluggish, and even a simple step of logical thinking requires enormous effort; the attributes of wisdom are dimming.

Azathoth's single eye opened, then suddenly disintegrated and vanished, transforming into an eternally churning black mist that spread and diffused, accompanied by piercing wails and screams, as if struggling before the end of life, enveloping all the primordial beings, and baring sharp teeth from the black mist, flowing with hungry gastric juices.

Since He awoke, He has hardly eaten anything.

I ate several times, but Ye Lin made me vomit every time. I was incredibly hungry.

The Lord of the End coldly roared, "Kill Him first."

All the irrational factors, the most ancient primordial being, and the Void Path held by Azathoth are a huge problem.
