Starting with SSS-rank talent, I contracted the Forbidden Ferocity.

[Three days later.]

Shenming Lake opens.

【Night King Shen Ye.】

[Write your final name.]

The words formed from the gray-white lake water hang above the Demon-Suppressing Pass.

There was no murderous intent.

There was no pressure.

But the entire Demon Suppression Pass suddenly fell silent for a moment.

The next moment, the war merit monument on the city wall lit up.

On the monument, the last stroke of the name of a demon-suppressing soldier suddenly faded away.

The soldier was about to speak, but the words caught in his throat.

He lifted his foot, intending to walk forward.

Their steps froze in mid-air.

It's like being pressed into a "one step away" state.

Zhou Xuan's expression changed drastically.

"The ultimate authority!"

Wei Cang took a step forward, and the Demon Suppression Army Seal pressed down on the Battle Merit Monument.

However, the gray and white ink did not directly clash with the military seal.

It simply circled around and landed on the second name.

The last stroke of the second name also began to fade.

Shen Ye looked up.

"Dust of Calamity".

The Heavenly Tribulation Eye of Calamity opened, and gray-white lightning illuminated the monument of merit.

In Shen Ye's palm, the Night King's Name Codex unfolded.

【Not yet defeated】lights up.

[My name is not yet finished, I will continue to write it] Lights up.

The black and gold lettering pressed against the monument of war achievements.

"The name is not finished."

"That doesn't mean people should stop."

He raised his hand, and the Order of Ten Thousand Beasts appeared.

The remnants of the shared fire vein ignite.

Golden firelight shone on those names that were missing strokes.

The soldiers, who had been standing still, suddenly let out a breath.

Footsteps landed.

The last stroke of the name lit up again.

The system prompts an error.

The pollution from the remote-controlled area has been cleared.

[Second seat authority resolution increased.]

Current resolution: 16%.

Lu Chenzhou looked at the monument to merits and said in a low voice:

"This is just an invitation."

Qin Wuji frowned.

"Can an invitation really stop someone from writing their name?"

Li Xuance said softly:

"No wonder it's called Shenming Lake."

Chu Jinglan looked at the gray mark between Shen Ye's eyebrows.

"It has already tagged you."

Shen Ye put away the half-court order.

"So we have to go."

Zhou Xuan immediately said:

"Three days."

"You just said you'd prepare for three days, so you really only need to prepare for three days?"

Shen Ye looked at the gray characters in the sky.

"They only give it three days."

Wei Cang said in a deep voice:

"You can't force your way into Shenming Lake."

"If you want to enter the lake, you must anchor."

Han Pojun nodded.

"The name will sink."

"The road will stop."

"The goal will be marked as incomplete."

"If you're in the lake, you might even forget why you went in in the first place."

The seal of Guixu on his forehead lit up.

"I remember the way."

Shen Ye said:

"Not enough."

He looked at Qin Wuji and the others.

"Five outer anchors are needed."

Qin Wuji immediately smiled.

"Is it finally our turn?"

Zhou Xuan looked at Shen Ye warily.

"An external anchor is acceptable, but the second seat cannot be allowed to be used as a substitute."

Shen Ye nodded.

"Just remember the way."

No name replacement.

"No war."

"You won't write the final stroke for me."

Lu Chenzhou slowly opened his mouth:

"I guard the old night anchor."

Qin Wuji said:

"I guard the anchor."

Li Xuance said:

"I guard the sword anchor."

Chu Jinglan said:

"I guard the sea anchor."

Meng Qianqiu patted the ancient sword.

"Anchor for a Thousand Autumns".

Five old certificates lit up simultaneously.

Lei Zheng.

Sword proof.

Haizheng.

A testament for a thousand autumns.

Old night gatekeeper's certificate.

Turn the page of the Night King's Classics.

The new certificate slowly took shape.

[Note: This is not a substitute traveler's note.]

[Holding the anchor is not about making up for lost reputation.]

[External evidence only indicates the destination, not the final statement.]

The black gold certificate fell, and the five-way certificate anchored firmly.

The greyish-white characters for "lake" in the sky trembled slightly.

These new certificates were also seen at Shenming Lake.

Three days passed quickly.

On the first day, Zhou Xuan set up the formation.

He used the Battle Merit Monument of Zhenmo Pass as the outer ring, the Five Certificates as the inner ring, and the Order of Ten Thousand Beasts as the core.

When the formation was completed, a faint golden line appeared in the sky above the entire Demon Suppression Pass.

That was Shen Ye's return route after entering the lake.

The next day, Shen Ye used the Half Court Order to summon six Beast King Trial Platforms.

It's not for breaking through to a higher realm.

This was to familiarize the five beasts with the "unfinished" suppression of Shenming Lake.

Night Feather Burns the Unextinguished Flame.

The shadow of the nine candles has not yet fallen.

Longyuan shattered the unfinished defeat.

The calamity of the dust of tribulation is yet to come.

The road to Guixu is not yet over.

Shen Ye himself sat in front of the Half Court Order, letting the gray ink on the corner of the final name card try to fill in the gray mark between his eyebrows time and time again.

Each time the gray ink falls.

The Night King's Classics will turn to the next page.

[The outer strokes must not be written first.]

My name is not yet finished; I will continue writing it.

Day three.

Outside the Demon-Suppressing Pass, the wind stopped.

Deep within the battlefield of myriad races, a gray-white lake silently emerges.

The lake is not on the ground.

It's like a statue suspended between heaven and earth.

The lake was calm.

Countless unwritten names float on the lake.

There are people there.

There are beasts.

There are myriad races.

There are also some ancient names whose origins are unknown.

Shenming Lake is open.

On the shore of the lake, a gray-white stone monument slowly rises.

The rules are written on the monument.

Those who entered the lake, their names remain unwritten.

Those who carry the anchor, for the anchor will sink.

[The author's pen is about to break.]

Those who turn back will find their path coming to an end.

Those who board the boat do not ask when they will return.

Zhou Xuan's face turned ugly after reading it.

"It even sinks the anchor."

Shen Ye said:

"Therefore, the anchor is not placed in the lake."

He raised his hand.

Five outer anchors were placed outside the lake shore.

Thunder, sword, sea, a thousand autumns, old night.

Only the place of return.

Do not enter the lake.

The Night King's Name Scripture hangs in the air.

[The anchor is not a supplementary name] lights up.

The second rule on the gray stone tablet trembled slightly, but did not continue to press down.

Shen Ye looked at the five beasts.

"Walk."

Ye Yu dropped his shoulders.

Candlelight enters the shadow.

Long Yuan stood behind him.

Jie Chen lay on the other side.

Gui Xu walked at the front, the Gui Men seal on his forehead shining brightly.

The five beasts entered the lake shore at the same time.

A small, greyish-white boat slowly sails into the depths of the lake.

There was no boatman on board.

There was only a broken pen stuck in the bow of the boat.

A single drop of ink remained suspended at the tip of the broken brush.

The small boat stopped in front of Shen Ye.

A line of text appeared on the bow of the ship.

【Night King Shen Ye.】

【Get on the boat. 】

Write your final name.

Shen Ye stared at the drop of ink.

"Is the second seat at the bottom of the lake?"

The lake was calm.

But then another line of words appeared on the small boat.

[The name of the one who first crossed the river has not yet been fulfilled.]

Goodbye, those who have lost their names.

Shen Ye stepped onto the small boat.

On the lake, all the incomplete names turned towards him at the same time.

next moment.

The broken pen on the bow of the boat lifted itself up.

The ink from the tip of the brush fell directly onto Shen Ye's brow.

A system warning went off.

[The final journey begins.]

[First question: In this life, is there anything left unfinished?]
