“Why have you awakened your true form? What about the others?”

    “That mole still has accomplices; until we find them, we dare not descend rashly.”

    Shen Ye couldn’t help but press her with questions.

    —Why did you descend?

    “Your teacher decided to expend a great deal of effort to send me alone first, to check on your situation, and to be ready to help at any time,” Xiao Mengyu said.

    “You alone?” Shen Ye’s voice rose.

    “Yes, everyone agreed,” Xiao Mengyu said calmly.

    Shen Ye stared at her, stunned.

    The beautiful woman in front of him was tall, dressed impeccably, exuding a heroic spirit.

    This was actually Xiao Mengyu’s true form.

    —And his teacher and the others had all agreed to let her come to Earth alone!

    Why?

    Weren’t they afraid of accidents?

    “Shen Ye.”

    Xiao Mengyu formed a hand seal with one hand.

    Countless stars unfurled behind her, transforming into a brilliant Dharma form that instantly filled the entire presidential suite.

    It was a Dharma form!

    “I honed my sword skills for a long time at the Earth Mother’s place in the Nightmare World, eventually integrating my traits into my Dharma form.”

    “—Within a fifty-meter radius covered by my Dharma form, all sentient beings’ cultivation levels will be equal to mine.”

    Xiao Mengyu stretched out her hand and lightly touched a star with her fingertip.

    The star transformed into a flying sword.

    The Dharma form, however, disappeared.

    “Or it can be condensed by me into a flying sword, slaying enemies thousands of miles away, and enemies can only defend with my strength.”

    “So strong!” Shen Ye couldn’t help but exclaim.

    Xiao Mengyu interjected:

    “—That’s why they are all very confident about my trip this time.”

    “But in the end, it’s not so much that I’m strong, but that the ancient lineage I inherited is strong.”

    “Of course, I haven’t awakened the power of truth, so I can’t fight enemies with the power of truth. You’ll have to protect me.”

    “Yes,” Shen Ye said.

    Shen Ye stared at her, then suddenly asked,

    “Do you still remember your mission just now?”

    “Main God’s mission? I remember. Go kill ten Destruction Servants, with their blood on the sword as proof,” Xiao Mengyu said.

    “Give me your hand,” Shen Ye said.

    Xiao Mengyu didn’t know what he wanted to do, but still extended her hand.

    “Wait,” Shen Ye said.

    He suddenly activated “Fervent Ally.”

    A faint light immediately appeared as small words:

    “You and your architectural guardian can exchange one of each other’s abilities, limited to one.”

    “You exchanged for Xiao Mengyu’s ability: Embroidery.”

    “You exchanged your ability: Heavenly Numinous Light, to her.”

    Xiao Mengyu felt something and immediately unleashed her Heavenly Numinous Light.

    “Seven times the power.”

    Shen Ye explained.

    “What did you take from me?” Xiao Mengyu asked.

    “Embroidery,” Shen Ye said.

    Xiao Mengyu finally smiled.

    Shen Ye seized the opportunity to hold her hand, and with a move of the Heaven-Turning Art,

    Xiao Mengyu immediately reverted to her maiden appearance, with the Luoshen Sword on her back, clad in armor, exuding an imposing aura.

    “Door!”

    Shen Ye shouted, opened the Portal of Spiritual Communication, and led her through the door.

    In an instant.

    The two landed in the history of destruction.

    Xiao Mengyu landed and first looked towards the Queen of Destruction.

    The Queen of Destruction was guarding Shen Ye, but unexpectedly, Shen Ye appeared with a young girl.

    —The girl stared at her the moment she appeared.

    The Queen of Destruction couldn’t help but look at Shen Ye.

    “Ally.”

    Shen Ye explained briefly.

    The two women exchanged glances but said nothing.

    Xiao Mengyu walked to the broken wall and glanced at the distant battlefield.

    “I’m going to kill the enemy.”

    She said to Shen Ye.

    “Your strength is probably not enough,” the Queen of Destruction said.

    Xiao Mengyu still ignored her, merely patting the Luoshen Sword on her back.

    Clang—

    The long sword flew away, instantly spanning thousands of meters, and then became formless and intangible on the battlefield.

    —Sword move: Where can one find a soulmate at the ends of the earth!

    “Dharma form, unfold.”

    Xiao Mengyu’s body erupted with Heavenly Numinous Light, she chanted softly.

    Countless stars appeared behind her, forming a magnificent cosmic galaxy.

    —Mutated Dharma Form: Rain of Stars!

    The flying sword seemed to receive a power boost and suddenly let out a sharp cry, forcing the strength of the Destruction Servants on the battlefield to drop to Xiao Mengyu’s level.

    One sword sweep.

    It was unknown how many enemies were killed.

    A cold glint quickly returned, “clang” into its sheath.

    “The blood on the sword is not yet dry, perfect for reporting back.”

    Xiao Mengyu said lightly.

    “Good, let’s go.” Shen Ye pulled her and pushed the door to leave.

    Until this moment.

    Shen Ye pushed the door in front, and Xiao Mengyu was behind him—

    She quickly turned her head and gave the Queen of Destruction a beautiful eye-roll.

    Thud.

    The door closed.

    The Queen of Destruction stood still, stunned.

    It’s fine if you ignore me, after all, you’re weak.

    Weak—

    Yet you dare to provoke like this!

    Are all sword users so annoying?

    On the other side.

    Las Vegas.

    Hotel penthouse.

    Shen Ye quickly opened the Spirit Gate and then immediately closed it.

    “How is it?”

    He asked Xiao Mengyu.

    Xiao Mengyu quietly felt familiar and said:

    “A vast power… is pouring into my soul, helping me grow stronger.”

    “It’s so miraculous, what exactly is this?”

    Shen Ye said, “I told you, this is power given by the Main God.”

    —Xiao Mengyu’s strength was not yet enough.

    Not letting her know some things was actually a form of protection for her.

    “Main God, huh…”

    “Yes, Main God,” Shen Ye said.

    “Alright, I need to comprehend this power. If there’s any further action, call me.”

    After Xiao Mengyu finished speaking, she sat cross-legged on the sofa, placed her sword on her lap, and entered meditation with her eyes closed.

    Seeing that she was fine, Shen Ye then opened the door and left.

    In the history of destruction.

    Shen Ye stepped over and immediately entered a state of alert.

    …Killing intent.

    Where did this killing intent come from?

    He was puzzled when he heard the Queen of Destruction say:

    “Choose allies carefully; don’t choose unreliable people who will drag you down.”

    Shen Ye explained, “Don’t worry, she’s my classmate. She has already received the reward of Eternal Primordial Power and has just completed her advancement. She’s currently experiencing the changes in her power.”

    “And—”

    He looked into the void.

    Faint small words quietly appeared:

    “‘Fervent Ally’ is automatically activated.”

    “Your architectural guardian Xiao Mengyu has advanced, currently reaching the ninth level of the Dharma Realm.”

    “Thanks to this, all your attributes have also increased by 20 points.”

    This gain is good!

    As long as an ally progresses, he will progress too—

    Now go find Little Three and let him complete the “Main God’s mission” too!

    Shen Ye became excited and immediately intended to open the door to find Nangong Sirui.

    “Wait a moment, Baxter.”

    The Queen of Destruction spoke.

    “Hmm?” Shen Ye turned his head to look at her.

    “I’ve been in contact with the grand will of destruction all this time—”

    “After all, I’m someone who climbed out of the abyss. It recognizes my identity, and it could even be said that my identity in the destruction faction is purer than that of the Lord of Death.”

    “I asked about the shackles on your feet.”

    The Queen of Destruction stood up, walked in front of him, and looked directly into his eyes, saying:

    “It is endless destruction; the challenge will only get harder until you die.”

    “The Lord of Death was ruthless,” Shen Ye lamented.

    “So we have to find a way to unlock it.”

    “Is there a way?” Shen Ye asked.

    “The Main God must have a way,” the Queen of Destruction said.

    Main God?

    Wait a minute—

    Did you see what I was doing just now?

    That’s not right.

    There was a door separating us.

    “Is there really a Main God? Don’t tease me,” Shen Ye couldn’t help but say.

    “Why do you think it’s false?” The Queen of Destruction asked curiously.

    Shen Ye was speechless.

    —He couldn’t possibly say that he had just used “Main God” to deceive someone else.

    “What exactly is the Main God?”

    Shen Ye asked.

    The Queen of Destruction said, “Many people in the world are forced by circumstances to crawl at the feet of destruction, such as the Lord of Death, and me.”

    “Yes,” Shen Ye nodded.

    “But there are also some people who are born to destroy everything, they exist in the world, taking pleasure in destruction.”

    “Such people are the embodiment of destruction descending into the world.”

    “Destruction appearing in the world as humans is because in some degenerate worlds, humans are crazier than the will of destruction.”

    “So, the embodiment of destruction is reincarnated as a human to learn?” Shen Ye asked.

    “You could say that, and this embodiment of destruction will continue to live as a human, drawing on human experience to make the Catastrophe of Destruction stronger.”

    “—They are called Main Gods.”

    The Queen of Destruction showed a look of recollection and continued,

    “When I was sacrificed to the abyss of destruction, a Main God’s messenger found me and said that the Main God really wanted to know if a person’s soul, after being completely corrupted, could climb out of the abyss.”

    “If I climbed out, he would resurrect me and restore my soul to its original state.”

    “—I did it.”

    “Did you see the Main God?” Shen Ye asked.

    “No, it was that messenger who brought a spell and directly resurrected me—”

    “The messenger said that the Main God believed I was once a world leader, who had fiercely resisted destruction, so I was bestowed the title ‘Queen of Destruction’.”

    “This was to show all those who resisted what my fate would be.”

    Shen Ye sighed and gently hugged her, indicating his comfort.

    No other meaning—

    He just felt she had been through too much.

    The Queen of Destruction looked down at the shackles on Shen Ye’s feet and whispered,

    “I still have the way to summon that messenger—should I try?”

    “What’s different about the Main God compared to the monster chasing me?” Shen Ye asked.

    “The monster is closer to the true nature of destruction, while the Main God leans towards humanity. We can deal with the Main God, but we must run from the monster.”

    “—The monster is completely incomprehensible to human thought.”

    Shen Ye said,

    “What if the other party insists on killing me…”

    “The Main God believes that transactions are a sign of humanity. A call for a transaction will not result in death,” the Queen of Destruction said.

    Shen Ye pondered for a few breaths, then murmured, “Does the embodiment of destruction also understand that harmony leads to wealth?”

    “Everything the manifestation does is primarily for practical benefit—if the gain from killing you is less than from trading with you, then the manifestation will not harm you in the slightest,” the Queen of Destruction said.

    “Understood, you try it, thank you very much,” Shen Ye said.

    The Queen of Destruction retreated two steps.

    She formed a strange hand seal with one hand and began to chant a spell.

    Black, burning runes emerged from her hand, floating in mid-air, arranging themselves into a complete circle.

    In just a few breaths.

    Spatial fluctuations spread from the black circular rune array.

    In the void.

    A person descended.

    —This was a blond man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, dressed in a suit, and black leather shoes.

    “It’s you, Ning Yunyu.”

    The blond man was still writing something rapidly in his hand, and nodded to the Queen of Destruction, as if to say hello.

    “Messenger, I have a transaction here that I must trouble you with.”

    The Queen of Destruction said.

    The blond man turned a page, continued writing in his notebook, and said:

    “Transactions are my job, very welcome—”

    “But this gentleman next to you needs to explain first why he’s wearing these shackles, otherwise I can’t deal with someone with a criminal record.”

    “It’s my ex-husband, he was jealous and abused destruction magic, creating these shackles,” the Queen of Destruction said.

    “—As far as I know, your ex-husband is dead, and this gentleman next to you is a suspect.”

    “Therefore, your words are not convincing.”

    The blond man said.

    The Queen of Destruction immediately hesitated.

    If this wasn’t convincing, what would be convincing?

    “As you can see, I’m very busy—especially busy. You must prove that he has no criminal record—you only have one minute to do this.”

    The blond man glanced at the watch on his wrist and finally said.

    To prove oneself has no criminal record…

    The Destruction Faction requires proof of clean identity for business, would you believe such a thing?

    The Queen of Destruction was speechless for a moment.

    She suddenly took out a gem, wanting to speak, but saw the blond man’s face already showing a hint of sarcasm, and he shook his head, saying:

    “Rules are rules. If you can’t even handle this small matter, the transaction cannot proceed.”

    He checked his watch again.

    20 seconds left!

    Shen Ye’s heart stirred, and he suddenly spoke:

    “The death of the Lord of Death has nothing to do with me.”

    “You say it has nothing to do with you, so it has nothing to do with you? Who’s to prove it?” The blond man didn’t even lift his head, swiftly writing down various transaction details.

    10 seconds!

    “He died by suicide. It really had nothing to do with me,” Shen Ye said again.

    Before his voice faded, he activated his trait power.

    In an instant.

    Faint small words immediately appeared in the void:

    “You activated the trait ‘Mole’.”

    “This is the favor of the great catastrophe’s will, the name of the Destruction Dharma Realm, the backing power of the eternal causality law.”

    “Description: After activating this trait, whatever you destroy, as long as you can explain it, others will believe it was not your doing.”

    “Limited to once per day.”

    The blond man’s pen paused, and he slowly looked up.

    “Good,” for the first time, he looked directly at Shen Ye and smiled, “Your words are very convincing, and even the great catastrophe has no objection to them. I’m starting to get interested in this transaction.”

    “Thank you, lord,” the Queen of Destruction said joyfully.

    “Don’t thank me, you did well—it’s true that someone who could climb out of the abyss is extraordinary, and your judgment of people is sharp.”

    After praising the Queen of Destruction, the blond man put away his notebook and pen, carefully examined the shackles on Shen Ye’s feet, and said:

    “Unlocking the shackles requires the power of the Main God.”

    “Do you have anything available for trade?”

    “I have some mission reward gems,” the Queen of Destruction said.

    “How’s the quality? Let me see,” the blond man said.

    The Queen of Destruction handed a small bag of gems to the other party.

    The blond man poured the gems directly into his hand, glanced at them, and shook his head:

    “This Chaos Soul Diamond is too ordinary, and the power fluctuations of the Ethereal Emerald are also a bit lacking. As for those fragmented Shards of Wailing, they are even less impressive.”

    He put the gems back into the bag, returned them to the Queen of Destruction, and continued:

    “All these gems are not of high grade.”

    “You must help me kill twenty more targets to make up the difference.”

    “Twenty! That’s too many,” the Queen of Destruction said.

    “Alright, this kind of thing, as long as it’s done cleanly, it’s not impossible to negotiate—especially since you have the trait for clearing your name.”

    The blond man smiled, opened his notebook again, and began to read out the names and identities of the targets to the Queen of Destruction.

    Shen Ye stood by, feeling a little bored, so he took the bag from the Queen of Destruction’s hand.

    While he watched the two haggle, he poured the gems into his hand and casually observed them.

    When he carefully looked at those gems,

    Faint small words appeared, displaying the information about the gems.

    —They were exactly as the other party described!

    In that case, the other party had shown some sincerity.

    So—

    Did he have to kill people now?

    Shen Ye showed no change in expression and took a Chaos Soul Diamond in his hand.

    A subtle power fluctuation was produced silently and disappeared silently.

    Then look at the gemstone—

    The gemstone emitted an unprecedented dazzling light.

    Lines of faint small words appeared:

    “You activated the trait ‘Mastermind’, continuously generating prefixes for the Chaos Soul Diamond until it matched its characteristics, changing its structure and power.”

    “The current prefix is: Broken;”

    “Changed to: Cracked; changed again to: Dusty, changed again to: Excellent, changed again to: Complete, changed again…”

    “Congratulations.”

    “The prefix has been changed.”

    “You have now obtained the ‘Flawless Chaos Soul Diamond’.”

    It was done.

    Shen Ye suddenly gained confidence, and quickly changed the prefixes of a few other gems.

    However, when he encountered the handful of fragmented Howling Shards, Shen Ye was still a bit troubled.

    How long would it take to assign prefixes to each one like this?

    Perhaps…

    He gripped all the tiny diamonds in his hand and squeezed hard.

    “You activated the trait ‘Vampire Lord’, merging a handful of fragmented Howling Shards into one.”

    “This fusion resulted in an extraordinary evolution.”

    “Congratulations.”

    “You obtained ‘Screaming Crystal’!”

    “This is an extremely rare destruction-side treasure stone.”

    —I don’t have anything else, but I have plenty of useful traits!

    From the last time a mission was announced in the Castle of the Lord of Death, everyone’s eager eyes on the shocking display of the Lord of Death’s destruction traits clearly led to one conclusion:

    In the destruction faction, traits are also hard currency!

    Shen Ye suddenly realized something.

    Back then.

    The evolutionary direction of the multi-layered universe was perfectly correct!

    The Sixth Epoch’s Gate and the trait abilities it came with were not only extremely rare in the Truth World, but also difficult to match in other worlds!

    Unfortunately…

    He had now lost the ability to acquire a trait once a day.

    Shen Ye was thinking when he saw several lines of faint small words appear:

    “The Gate’s ability is constantly evolving, not regressing.”

    “Note.”

    “When the number of buildings and their upgrade level reach a certain standard, you will receive evaluation traits.”

    Good.

    Very good.

    More motivated.

    So now, first of all—

    Shen Ye looked at the Queen of Destruction, only to see her still haggling with the blond man.

    “No, fifteen at most.”

    “Kill seventeen, plus the gems will be enough, Ning Yunyu.”

    “No, why kill so many? Everyone works for destruction—”

    “If only all other Main Gods thought like you, it’s still seventeen, bring me their heads.”

    “Sixteen!”

    “Seventeen is the minimum number.”

    *Pat.*

    Shen Ye patted the Queen of Destruction’s shoulder.

    The Queen turned her head in surprise to look at him, but he put a bag in her hand.

    She looked down and saw it was the same bag from earlier.

    She was about to look inside the bag when Shen Ye’s voice transmission reached her ear.

    The Queen’s expression gradually changed.

    Without another word, she directly tossed the bag of gems over and said:

    “We’ll use these gems to trade for the spell to remove the shackles – payment in full, no additions.”

    The blond man caught the gem bag and shook his head, saying:

    “I said, the quality of these gems isn’t—”

    He suddenly paused.

    As a messenger of the Main God, a professional manager for the Main God’s various businesses, he keenly noticed that the gems in this bag seemed a little different.

    He opened the bag.

    He poured all the gems into his hand.

    A brilliant light emanated from his hand, illuminating the surroundings.

    The blond man’s face changed slightly. He carefully recalled the previous moments and slowly said:

    “This isn’t right.”

    “What did you do? Why has the quality of the gems changed?”

    “Of course, we traded in some better ones,” Shen Ye said.

    The blond man stared at the two in front of him, then lowered his head to look at the gems in his hand again.

    All good stuff.

    The business wasn’t a loss, it was a solid profit.

    Since that’s the case.

    Why didn’t they take them out earlier?

    “Deal.”

    “—And I’ll add, if you have any good stuff, be sure to trade with me. No other Main God’s messenger would be as generous as I am.”
