Shen Ye gritted his teeth, fully resisting the power fluctuations in the void.

    —Just the aftershocks of that decisive battle were enough to destroy countless worlds!

    To stop the decisive battle between the Lord of the High Dimension and the Doomsday Destruction—

    How could it be done!

    Rumble—

    Another clash between the two sides shook the entire Dharma Realm, stirring up another round of destructive shockwaves.

    “Mmmph, mmmph, mmmph!”

    Shen Ye held the Netherglow Blade vertically, fully resisting the tsunami-like aftermath of the battle.

    In an instant.

    With the blade as a string, countless sharp cries seemed to echo in the void.

    One breath.

    Two breaths.

    Three breaths.

    The two figures separated for a moment.

    All aftershocks subsided.

    Shen Ye’s body was covered in dense, small wounds, and cracks appeared on his long blade.

    “Huff, huff—”

    He panted heavily.

    He had just leveled up his strength by one stage after completing his mission.

    The Quietude Blade Technique hadn’t broken through, because he hadn’t gained any new insights or fused anything yet.

    Even so, the blade technique’s power had increased threefold.

    This was not an opponent.

    He couldn’t even get close to where the two were fighting.

    Are you kidding me!

    There was no way to resist it!

    —Not to mention stopping the two from fighting.

    Shen Ye was extremely reluctant to leave.

    Seeing the two fight just now had given him countless insights, and he even had a vague feeling of being on the verge of a breakthrough.

    But he couldn’t stay here any longer.

    —Not leaving meant death!

    He panted, then suddenly walked to the side and pressed his hand on a tree.

    Can’t leave.

    The rewards for this mission series were too rich!

    Not only did his overall attributes and blade technique increase by one stage, but the “Ring of the Endless Serpent, Harmonizer of All Dharmas” also evolved into a higher-level ability!

    Now it was—

    “Serpent Lock of Reincarnation, Dominator of the Dharma Realm.”

    “Authority of the Dharma Realm.”

    “Description: You can directly manipulate, fuse, and enhance all known existences.”

    “—This is your innate ability.”

    “—All in your hand, like the turning wheel of Samsara.”

    To gain such power by completing the mission.

    Who would be willing to leave?

    “Fusion.”

    Shen Ye whispered, activating this brand new ability.

    The next moment.

    He directly merged into the tree, avoiding the two fighting figures.

    —He merged with the tree!

    Darkness.

    Darkness.

    Darkness.

    Shen Ye’s eyes suddenly went blank.

    He had expected it to be pitch black, solid wood, but instead, there was a hidden world within.

    He landed in a long, winding tunnel.

    Above the tunnel, many runes gathered together, emitting light.

    “So that’s how it is…”

    He realized.

    —Those monsters relied on this tree to constantly revive; they already lived inside this tree!

    “Wait a minute, I’m confused.”

    Seventh Uncle’s voice sounded.

    “What’s wrong?” Shen Ye asked.

    “This tree is clearly a Dharma Idol, so why does it have a passage for monsters to live in?” Seventh Uncle asked.

    Shen Ye smiled, and just as he was about to say that his Dharma Idol was the same, a flash of insight suddenly struck him.

    “This tree is indeed a Dharma Idol, but what activates the Dharma Idol is probably a Truth Relic.”

    He said.

    Yes!

    He could activate different Dharma Idols with seven Truth Relics!

    Why couldn’t the body of this tree be a Truth Relic?

    The more he thought about it, the more it seemed to be the case.

    “Susu.”

    Shen Ye spoke.

    “Okay!” Susu responded.

    Shen Ye formed a hand seal.

    The Dharma Idol descended—

    Gatekeeper’s Cage: Corrupted Heart Puppet!

    “Description: 1. A target that accepts your goodwill will reveal all its information.”

    “2. You can control the target, or even directly seize its essence.”

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

    “It must be hard to resist the decisive battle outside alone. Is there anything I can help you with?”

    His voice carried far.

    As long as this tree accepted his goodwill, he would be able to see its detailed information!

    He waited for several breaths.

    The passage was dead silent.

    The Dharma Idol tree did not respond at all.

    But Shen Ye had no intention of giving up.

    If he could take this tree, at least the monsters wouldn’t be able to revive endlessly!

    Although the mission was important, this matter was also very important!

    “Seventh Uncle, see if you can give this tree some healing aid—as long as we help it.”

    Shen Ye said.

    “I’ll try.” Seventh Uncle’s voice rang out.

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

    In an instant.

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

    —It was Seventh Uncle’s sacrifice!

    It was sacrificing some of its power to this tree!

    Several lines of small text appeared:

    “You performed a sacrifice with your Truth Relic.”

    “This is useless for the current Dharma Idol, but at least it expressed your meager goodwill.”

    “You have now gained a piece of information:”

    “Defeat the guardian transmitted here, and you can further serve the Dharma Idol.”

    The void opened.

    A burly man appeared silently.

    —It was a monster that had already reincarnated as a human!

    “Do we have to fight? There’s no point.”

    The man said somewhat anxiously.

    “I heard there’s an agreement that you can’t attack humans.” Shen Ye echoed.

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

    The man quickly finished speaking, then turned and left.

    He passed directly through the void and left this place.

    Only Shen Ye remained standing in place.

    “…I didn’t expect that.”

    Shen Ye murmured to himself.

    His past self on the Ship of the Other Shore had made that agreement to buy time and find the enemy’s weaknesses.

    He didn’t expect it to have this effect!

    In a fleeting moment.

    Several lines of faint light characters quietly appeared:

    “You won.”

    “You have gained the qualification to serve the sacred tree.”

    “The sacred tree now wants you to do one thing. As long as you do it, you can win the sacred tree’s allegiance.”

    “What thing?” Shen Ye asked.

    Another line of small characters appeared:

    “Stop the decisive battle between those two outside!”

    Damn it.

    It’s back to this again!

    Shen Ye couldn’t help but curse, but he found luminous patterns appearing on the walls of the passage.

    These patterns seemed to be alive, quickly gathering together to form a rune.

    —Runes are condensed forms of Dharma Realm power.

    It floated over, landing in Shen Ye’s hand.

    Bang—

    The rune scattered, transforming into thousands of streams of light.

    These streams of light danced around Shen Ye for a while, then all merged into his body.

    A piece of information immediately appeared in Shen Ye’s mind.

    About those two people.

    —The Lord of the High Dimensions and the Doomsday Destruction.

    The tree had collected their aura and a tiny fragment of their essence, creating “human bodies” that perfectly matched their characteristics.

    This was to deduce their abilities, to understand their weaknesses, and to prepare for the future.

    But something unexpected happened.

    The “human bodies” that were created, despite containing only a tiny fraction of their power, collaborated and came up with a way to protect themselves—

    They collided with each other.

    Like particles colliding, they used their most fundamental and purest power to engage in endless collisions with each other.

    These collisions unleashed an endless variety of forces.

    One of them happened to counteract the sacred tree.

    There was nothing that could be done.

    The sacred tree was completely trapped in its own magic.

    —This experimental spell it had performed to defeat the Lord of the High Dimensions and the Doomsday Destruction.

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

    “You are a very resourceful human, that is undeniable.”

    “Go on—”

    “Go find a way to make them both stop.”

    “I have observed them for countless years. As long as they stop, I will be able to find a way to deal with them, and after I get out, I can kill them!”

    “—I will recognize you as my master!!!”

    All sounds suddenly vanished.

    Shen Ye came back to his senses, only to see a contract emanating boundless golden light hovering before him.

    The words just spoken were written on it.

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

    —This contract was fine.

    In that case.

    If he could stop the decisive battle between the two great lords.

    —The sacred tree would no longer support the monsters!

    Because it had changed owners and had to obey his commands.

    Speaking of which.

    Even if it wasn’t for the sacred tree, even to complete the mission of the Eternal Poem, he had to stop the decisive battle.

    But.

    How to do it?

    Shen Ye pondered, re-examining his various abilities.

    His blade technique had increased in power.

    The skill also improved by one stage, but it couldn’t be used to stop the decisive battle.

    What else…

    That’s right.

    Door ability.

    —The door ability also increased by one stage!

    As Shen Ye willed it, lines of faint light characters suddenly appeared:

    “Your door has evolved.”

    “Currently, your ‘Door of Spiritual Void’ has been elevated to the Holy rank, and its name is:”

    “Door of Wind.”

    “One of the Four Saints, the builder of the infinite void.”

    “Description: Leads to your designated location, no matter where; or severs, seals, and isolates the path.”

    Shen Ye stared at the lines of introduction for a long time, unable to tear his eyes away.

    The ultimate mission of the Eternal Poem.

    Its reward could enhance all his strength and abilities by one stage.

    Even the door reached this level!

    It was simply unimaginable.

    Shen Ye took a deep breath and raised his hand, pressing it into the void.

    “Door.”

    He whispered.

    A door appeared silently.

    Along with it were the corresponding prompts:

    “You have summoned the ‘Door of Wind’.”

    “Currently, the ‘Door of Wind’ leads to the place you wish to go:”

    “The world beyond the ‘Sacred Tree’s’ confinement.”

    “Open the door and you can leave.”

    Shen Ye quickly read through it.

    All the small characters flickered and quickly disappeared.

    The door.

    It hung silently before him.

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

    But—

    Shen Ye suddenly snapped his fingers.

    “Disperse.”

    Bang.

    With a soft sound, the door disappeared.

    —This door cannot be opened!

    Frankly, from the Myriad Worlds to the Aether, then from the Aether to the historical fragments, the Era of Entropy Extinction, the Ship of the Other Shore, the Misty Future—

    All of this was because the sacred tree was searching for the weaknesses of those two existences, and then was trapped by the two existences it created.

    It couldn’t escape!

    Because of this, humanity had a slim chance to defeat the monsters that clung to it.

    If.

    If he opened the door and let it escape from this predicament.

    Even if only a branch escaped—

    It would be free.

    “Too bad,” Shen Ye said softly, “I can’t let you escape just like that.”

    Before the words faded.

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

    “Susu?”

    Shen Ye called out sternly.

    —Besides himself, only the parasitic empress Susu could control his body.

    “I’m sorry, Shen Ye.”

    Susu’s voice sounded, with a hint of undetectable complexity:

    “I suddenly remembered everything.”

    “You guessed right, the sacred tree is indeed a Dharma Idol formed by a Truth Relic.”

    “That Truth Relic—”

    “Is called ‘Truth Earth’.”

    “All Truth Relics are part of it.”

    Shen Ye was so shocked he forgot to breathe.

    So—

    “Yes,” Seventh Uncle’s voice followed, “I remember now—it’s probably because this moment is extremely crucial that the seals on us have been lifted.”

    “We are all ‘Truth Earth’.”

    The voice of the Spirit Capturing Net also sounded:

    “Everything was my deduction, including letting humans reproduce to find existences that could break through the predicament.”

    “Now—”

    “We are the Truth Earth, and we will control you, open the door, and completely liberate me!”

    Shen Ye’s hand rested on the door.

    Next.

    As soon as he pushed—

    The sacred tree, trapped in the decisive battle, could escape its predicament.

    “Hmph.”

    Shen Ye’s body suddenly erupted in blazing dark flames.

    Doomsday Flame!

    This fire was not suppressed, controlled, or restricted by any power!

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

    At this time.

    A magnificent voice echoed from deep within the great tree:

    “It’s useless, your individual strength cannot contend with the entire ‘Truth Earth’, the outcome is already fated.”

    Surging, vast power of law gushed out from underground, instantly filling the entire void and pressing down on Shen Ye.

    These powers had surpassed their limits.

    They squeezed Shen Ye’s entire body, forcing him to unconsciously raise his hand again—

    His hand slowly moved towards the door.

    The door was about to open!

    Suddenly.

    A pair of delicate hands reached out and grasped Shen Ye’s arm.

    “What are you waiting for?”

    Along with a female voice, Chatelet walked out from behind Shen Ye.

    “You are also part of ‘Truth Earth’?”

    Shen Ye couldn’t help but ask.

    Chatelet smiled and explained:

    “‘Truth Earth’ couldn’t withstand the power of the decisive battle and shattered into countless Truth Relics.”

    “But those Truth Relics with insufficient strength, like Susu and the others, can still be controlled by the will of the Earth at certain times.”

    “What about you?” Shen Ye pressed.

    Chatelet leaned in and kissed him on the cheek:

    “Me? Oh, I had many personalities back then—each of my personalities is independent, and it can’t control me,” Chatelet said.

    Shen Ye couldn’t help but recall that time.

    —Since she was a little girl, he had saved her!

    Now.

    She was a Truth Relic with independent thoughts!

    “Since that’s the case, I won’t pretend anymore.”

    Shen Ye said.

    His body exuded a unique power fluctuation.

    This power, even in ancient times and the Age of Entropy Extinction, could not be found or known.

    —After completing the “Eternal Night” mission, his profession also advanced by one level.

    “Destiny Weaver.”

    “Future Professional Level 3.”

    “Professional Skill: Void Creation of Saints.”
