Gatekeeper of all realms.

Chapter 698 The Land of Truth and the Gate of Wind!

Shen Ye gritted his teeth and did his best to resist the power fluctuations in the void.

—The aftershocks of that decisive battle alone were enough to destroy countless worlds!
To stop the final battle between the higher dimensional lords and the apocalypse—

How could that be possible!

Rumbling--

The clash between the two sides once again stirred the entire Dharma realm, unleashing another wave of destructive shockwaves.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

Shen Ye held the Youhuang Blade upright, desperately trying to withstand the tsunami-like aftershocks of the battle.

For an instant.

With the blade as the string, it seemed as if countless sharp cries echoed in the void.

Take a breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

The two figures separated for the time being.

All the aftershocks have subsided.

Shen Ye's body was covered with countless small wounds, and cracks also appeared on his long sword.

"Huff, huff—"

He was breathing heavily.

He had only just increased his strength by one level after completing his mission.

The Return to Silence Blade Technique did not break through to a higher level because, after all, he had not gained any new insights or integrated anything.

Even so, the power of the sword technique has increased threefold.

These are no match for them.

You can't even get close to where the two are fighting.

Just kidding!
There's simply no way to stop it!

—Not to mention stopping the two from fighting.

Shen Ye was extremely reluctant to leave.

Witnessing the two fight with my own eyes just now has given me countless insights, and I even have a faint feeling that I am about to break through.

But we can't stay here any longer.

—If you don't leave, you die!

He was panting heavily when he suddenly walked to the side and placed his hand on the tree.

We can't leave.

The rewards for this mission series are incredibly generous!

Not only have all attributes and swordsmanship been upgraded by one level, but "Endless Serpent Ring, Harmonizer of All Laws" has also advanced to a higher level of ability!
Now it is—

"The Reincarnation Serpent Lock, the Ruler of the Dharma Realm."

"The authority of the Dharma realm".

"Description: You can directly manipulate, fuse, and enhance all known existence."

"—This is your innate ability."

"—It is all in your hands, like the cycle of reincarnation."

You can gain this power by completing the task.

Who would be willing to leave?

"Fusion."

Shen Ye said in a low voice, activating this brand-new ability.

next moment.

He merged directly into the tree, avoiding the two combatants.

—He merged with the tree!
dark.

dark.

dark,

Suddenly, Shen Ye's vision went blank.

I thought it was a dark place, made of solid wood, but it turned out to be a hidden paradise.

He landed in a long passageway.

Above the passage, many runes converged, emitting a bright light.

"I see……"

He suddenly said.

—Those monsters rely on this tree to keep resurrecting; they originally lived in this tree!
"Wait a minute, I'm confused."

Uncle Seven's voice rang out.

"What's wrong?" Shen Ye asked.

"This tree is clearly a Dharma image, so why is there a passage inside that allows monsters to live?" Uncle Seven asked.

Shen Ye smiled, about to say that his Dharma form was the same, when a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind.

"This tree is indeed a Dharma form, but what drives the Dharma form is probably a creation of truth."

He said it.

Yes!

One can create things with the seven truths and activate different forms!

Why can't the essence of this tree be a creation of truth?

The more I think about it, the more I think that's the case.

"Su Su".

Shen Ye spoke up.

"Okay!" Su Su replied.

Shen Ye formed a hand seal.

The Dharma Image Descends—

Gatekeeper's Cage - Heart-Eating Puppet!
Description: 1. Accept your well-intentioned goals; will reveal all your information;

"2. You can control the target, or even directly seize its elements."

Shen Ye walked through the passage for a while and then said:

"It must be tough for you to stand alone against the final battle outside. Is there anything I can do to help you?"

His voice carried far and wide.

As long as the tree accepts my kindness, I will be able to see its detailed information!
I waited for a few breaths.

The passageway was deathly silent.

The Tree of Dharma made no response.

But Shen Ye has no intention of giving up.

If we can take this tree, at least the monsters won't be able to keep resurrecting!

While the mission is important, this matter is also very important!
"Seventh Uncle, do you see if you can provide this tree with any kind of healing help—as long as we help it, that's fine."

Shen Ye said.

"I'll give it a try," Uncle Seven's voice rang out.

Two hands reached out from the void behind Shen Ye, forming a hand seal.

All of a sudden.

Clusters of flames appeared in the void, condensing into burning runes.

—It was Uncle Seven's sacrifice!
It is sacrificing some of its power to this tree!
Several lines of small words spontaneously came to mind:

“You have made a sacrifice with your creation of truth.”

"This is of no use to the current Dharma, but at least it expresses your meager goodwill."

"You have now received some intelligence:"

"Only by defeating the guardian that has been teleported here can you further serve the Dharma Form."

The void opened.

A burly man appeared quietly.

—It's a monster that has been reincarnated as a human!

"To fight? There's no point in it at all."

The man said somewhat anxiously.

"I heard there's some kind of agreement that you can't attack humans," Shen Ye chimed in.

"Yes, we signed an agreement not to attack humans. Right now, the most important thing is to compete for the game rankings—the strongest can go to the future!"

The man finished speaking quickly and turned to leave.

He passed directly through the void and left this place.

Only Shen Ye remained standing there.

"...I didn't expect that."

Shen Ye muttered to himself.

The person on the other side of the ship made that agreement in order to buy time and find the enemy's weakness.

I never expected it to have this effect!
A moment.

Several lines of small, faintly glowing text quietly appeared:

"you win."

"You have earned the right to serve the sacred tree."

"The sacred tree now wants you to do one thing. If you do it, you will win the support of the sacred tree."

"What is it?" Shen Ye asked.

Another line of small print appeared:
"Stop the duel between those two outside!"

Damn it.

We've come full circle again!

Shen Ye couldn't help but swear, but then he noticed that faint glowing patterns were appearing on the walls of the passage.

These patterns seemed to come alive, quickly converging to form a rune.

Runes are the embodiment of the power of the Dharma realm.

It drifted in and landed in Shen Ye's hand.

bang——

The runes dispersed, transforming into hundreds of streams of light.

These streams of light danced around Shen Ye for a moment before disappearing into his body.

A piece of information immediately popped into Shen Ye's mind.

About those two people.

—The Lord of Higher Dimensions and the End of Days.

The tree collected the essence of both of them, along with a tiny fragment of their original forms, and created a "human body" that perfectly matched their characteristics.

This is to deduce their abilities so as to understand their weaknesses and prepare for the future.

But something unexpected happened.

The created "human bodies," though containing only a tiny fraction of their power, worked together to devise a way to protect themselves—

They collide with each other. Like particles colliding with particles, they relentlessly collide with each other using their most fundamental and purest forces.

This impact unleashed a myriad of different kinds of forces.

One of them happens to be the perfect counter to the Sacred Tree.

There's nothing we can do about it.

The sacred tree was completely trapped within its own magic.

—This experimental technique it conducted in order to defeat the higher-dimensional lord and destroy the end times.

A faint voice suddenly rang in Shen Ye's ear:

"You are an extremely resourceful human being, that much is undeniable."

Go ahead!

"Try to find a way to get them both to stop."

“I’ve been observing them for countless years. As long as they stop, I can find a way to deal with them. Once I get out, I can take them down!”

"—I will acknowledge you as my master!!!"

All sound suddenly disappeared.

Shen Ye came to his senses and saw a contract radiating endless golden light floating in front of him.

The words I just said are written on it.

The will of the sacred tree left its mark on the contract.

—There's nothing wrong with this contract.

Put it this way.

If I could stop the duel between the two big shots.

—The sacred tree will no longer support the monsters!

Because it has changed owners, it must obey its commands.

anyway.

Even if it weren't for the Sacred Tree, but just to complete the task of the Eternal Poem, I would stop the final battle.

but.

How do we do this?

Shen Ye pondered for a moment, then reviewed his various abilities once more.

The swordsmanship has become more powerful.

The entry has also been upgraded by one level, but it cannot be used to stop the final battle.

what else……

Yes.

Door capability.

—The gate's ability has also been upgraded by one level!
With Shen Ye's will, lines of faint, small characters suddenly appeared:

"Your door has been upgraded."

"Your 'Gate of Spirit Ruins' has now been elevated to the Saintly rank, and its name is:"

"The Gate of Wind".

"One of the Four Saints, the creator of the infinite void."

"Description: Lead to the place you specify, wherever you may be; or break, seal, or isolate the path to it."

Shen Ye stared at the lines of descriptions, unable to look away for a long time.

The ultimate mission of the eternal poem.

The reward is so great that it can raise all one's strength and abilities by one level.

Even the doors have reached this level!
Simply unimaginable.

Shen Ye took a deep breath, raised his hand, and pressed it into the air.

"Door."

He gave a low shout.

A door appeared silently.

The corresponding prompt will follow:

"You have summoned the 'Gate of Wind'."

"The current 'Gate of Wind' leads to where you want to go:"

"The world outside the place where the 'Sacred Tree' is trapped."

"You can leave as soon as you open the door."

Shen Ye quickly finished reading it.

All the small print flashed and then quickly disappeared.

door.

It floated silently in front of him.

As long as he pushes open the door, he can leave the sacred tree and go to other worlds!

but--

Shen Ye suddenly snapped his fingers.

"Disband."

Bang.

With a soft click, the door disappeared.

—This door must not be opened!

Frankly speaking, from the myriad realms to ether, and then from ether to fragments of history, the era of entropy annihilation, the great ship of the other shore, and the misty future—

All of this is because the Sacred Tree was trying to find the weaknesses of those two beings, and then it got trapped by the two beings it created.

It cannot escape!
That is why humanity has a sliver of a chance to defeat the monsters that depend on it.

in case.

If you open the door yourself, it will escape from this predicament.

Even if only a single branch had escaped—

It got away.

“It’s a pity,” Shen Ye said softly, “that I can’t let you get away with this.”

The words have not yet fallen.

He suddenly raised his hand and summoned the Gate of Wind once again.

"Su Su?"

Shen Ye shouted in a deep voice.

—Besides herself, the only one who can control her body is the Parasitic Queen Su Su.

"I'm sorry, Shen Ye."

Su Su's voice rang out, carrying a hint of complex emotion that was almost imperceptible:

"I suddenly remembered everything."

"You guessed right, the Sacred Tree is indeed a manifestation of a truth created."

"That creation of truth—"

“It’s called ‘Land of Truth’.”

"All creations of truth are part of it."

Shen Ye was so shocked that he forgot to breathe.

so--

“Yes,” Uncle Seven’s voice followed, “I remember now—it’s probably because this moment is extremely crucial, and the seals on our bodies have been broken.”

"We are all the 'Land of Truth'."

The sound of the spirit-catching net also rang out:
"Everything is my deduction, including allowing humans to reproduce in order to find something that can break the deadlock."

"Now--"

"We are the land of truth, and we will control you. Open the door and completely liberate me!"

Shen Ye placed his hand on the door.

Next.

As long as he pushes—

The sacred tree trapped in the final battle will then be able to escape its predicament.

"Humph."

Suddenly, intense dark flames erupted from Shen Ye's body.

Doomsday Fire!

This fire cannot be suppressed, controlled, or restricted by any force!

Shen Ye trembled all over, took a step back, and his hand gradually left the Gate of Wind.

At this moment.

A majestic voice echoed from deep within the tree:
"It's no use. Your strength alone cannot fight against the entire 'Land of Truth'. The outcome is already decided."

A surging, vast power of laws erupted from the ground, instantly filling the entire void and pressing down on Shen Ye.

These forces have exceeded their limits.

They pressed against Shen Ye's entire body, causing him to unconsciously raise his hand again—

He slowly placed his hand on the door.

The door is about to open!
suddenly.

A pair of delicate little hands reached out and pressed down on Shen Ye's arm.

"what are you waiting for?"

Accompanied by a female voice, Châtelet stepped out from behind Shen Ye.

"Are you also part of the 'Land of Truth'?"

Shen Ye couldn't help but ask.

Châtelet smiled and explained:
"The 'Land of Truth' could not withstand the power of the decisive battle and has shattered into countless creations of truth."

"But those creations of truth that are not strong enough, such as Su Su and the others, can still be controlled by the will of the earth at certain times."

"And what about you?" Shen Ye pressed.

Châtelet leaned in and kissed him on the cheek:
“I had many personalities in the beginning—each of my personalities was independent and could not control me,” Châtelet said.

Shen Ye couldn't help but recall that time.

—I saved her when she was just a little girl!
just now.

She is a creation of truth with independent thought!

"Since that's the case, then I won't pretend anymore."

Shen Ye said.

He exuded a unique aura of power.

This power was nowhere to be found or known in the past, even in the era of entropy annihilation.

—After completing the "Eternal Night" quest, his profession was also upgraded by one level.

"The Fate Maker".

"Future Professional Level 3"

"Profession Skill: Void Creation of Saints".
