"Why not leave?"
The Chaos Ship asked.
"Why do you always want to leave?" Shen Ye retorted.
"Donât mind meâIâm learning from youâafter all, youâve survived this long, and I once thought, if I were you, Iâd probably be dead already," the Chaos Ship replied.
Shen Ye said no more.
He simply raised his sword, spread out black sword shadows, resonating with the pervasive Sword Rain.
BuzzâBuzzâ
The sound of swords echoed in all directions.
From a distance.
Shen Ye looked as if he held a Black Umbrella, shielding against the torrential Sword Rain.
The entire world began to crumble.
Yet the ground where Shen Ye stood remained intact.
Only then did he relax and say:
"Staying here is safe."
"Soâ"
"It doesnât matter who that person is, or where he wants to take me."
"I will stay here until Iâm sure itâs safe outside."
His voice faded.
Two lines of dim text appeared again:
"You have entered the 24th hour."
"Survive for 24 hours to complete the first task of the sequence."
âThe final hour!
Shen Ye held the sword in one hand and the broken Card in the other.
A level ninety-nine Card.
Right now.
He was constantly drawing upon its Strength, waiting for the last hour to end.
This was the most crucial moment.
Absolutely!
Not going!
Anywhere!
Suddenly, everything around returned to normal.
After the world was shattered, it was about to face that sword again.
Memories restarted.
Yet Shen Ye cared little.
His Time moved forward using himself as a reference within this twenty-four hours.
Only one hour left.
He even consciously glanced towards the position of the Teleportation Array.
There lay a corpse.
What happened?
Shen Ye looked once and then turned away.
It was the body of that person from before.
This person did not exist in his previous memory.
Was he here to trick him into leaving?
It seemed that even activating the Teleportation Array early, he couldnât escape that sword.
Ridiculous.
He couldnât save himself, yet dared to deceive him!
Shen Ye shook his head, turned towards the center of the battlefield, and squeezed among the grotesque monsters.
âHe could stay here because he was acknowledged by the Master of the Ancient High-dimensional.
So.
The monsters here would only consider him an ally.
The shenanigans by the Teleportation Array were another matter.
"This level ninety-nine Card is broken, and you still need one Truth Creationâafter all, seven Truth Creations are required to construct your identity."
Uncle Qi reminded.
"Yes, thatâs quite a hassle," Shen Ye frowned.
"Donât worry about it, I have a way, wait for my news," Charlotte said.
"What way?" Shen Ye asked.
Charlotteâs voice didnât ring again.
Seems heâs busy with something else.
Shen Ye didnât dwell on it, preparing to face the Sword Rain from the sky.
Next.
No more incidents occurred.
An hour later.
The sequenceâs notification arrived as scheduled:
"Congratulations."
"You have completed the sequenceâs first task âExiled Emperorâ."
"Currently received reward:"
"Other Shore Element."
"Using this element will enhance your entry âMandala Uroborosâ, elevating it in its metamorphosis to reach the Other Shore level."
"Or you may use it elsewhere to drastically enhance another Skill."
Shen Ye fell into thoughtful consideration.
Indeed.
"Mandala Uroboros" certainly needed enhancement.
But in the Other Shore, a Card could reach the Truth ninety-nine-stage.
"Mandala Uroboros" even with enhancement would not reach that level.
If outside, he was besieged by Ten Thousand Lives Dao Demon and those monstersâ
This entry could not save him!
Therefore, he needed a Skill that could change the situation!
Shen Yeâs gaze fell upon that Card.
A ninety-nine-stage Truth Card.
Coupled withâ
Other Shore Element.
Whatâs the most rewarding use for them?
What kind of Strength could change his Fate, alter his situation?
He closed his eyes and pondered for a long time.
Until the pervasive Sword Aura descended again.
An Aurora suddenly flashed in his mind.
...Perhaps there was one thing that could change his current predicament.
Yes.
Only this matter is effective.
Nothing else could help him escape the besieged situation!
"Come, fusion."
Shen Ye made a decision, speaking softly.
The next moment.
Lines of dim small text abruptly appeared:
"You activated the entry âMandala Uroborosâ, absorbing the broken Card âMysterious Emperorâ, and the Other Shore Element wholly, infusing them into your gate power."
"Given the Card is broken, its stage naturally declines; the Other Shore Element must fully compensate, and your gate power elevates through âSuper Evolutionâ, finally completing the fusion process."
"Your gate power transcends various shackles, beginning to elevate in stage."
"Congratulations."
"Fusion is proceeding smoothly."
"This is an advanced convergence of Super Multi-layered Laws, about to produce substantial authoritative power, requiring the absorption of your soulâs primordial wish."
"You must oversee the birth of the gate power, guiding its evolution direction."
Shen Ye felt a pang of unease in his heart.
What the hell.
How could his soulâs primordial wish be used for such an advanced matter?
âDonât let it turn into abilities like a house deed or resignation!
Others can execute Swordsmanship to decimate entire worlds.
As for him?
He had no impressive wishes to fulfill.
âMight as well use a property deed to command all heroes throughout history?
But things wouldnât change with just his will.
