Chapter 1586 - 662: Plotting with God

"Can you give me the clause?" Hera asked.

"Sure," Shen Ye replied.

"Do you really not care about that clause?" Hera looked at him.

"I care about its power—you must sign a ban contract, not to use it against me and my friends," Shen Ye demanded.

"Deal!" Hera said happily.

Since the partner agreed so readily, there’s no reason not to give one’s best effort.

Hera formed a spell seal with both hands.

—At this moment, the two were inside the Holy Tower.

They squatted inside a compartment on the third underground level, staring at the bare stone walls, unsure how to return to three quarters of an hour ago.

But Hera decided to exert her full force.

"Cause and effect is a very mystical law, it must rely on tools, like your Deer Head, and the mobile phone—"

"Using the ’cause’ on such a tool as a medium, I can find the ’Time Gate’ your teacher mentioned."

"Then please do so," Shen Ye smiled and said.

Hera said nothing more, forming a spell seal with both hands, synchronized with the rabbit on her shoulder.

—Technique activated!

A soft glow emerged from the phone, gently floated up, circled around the compartment, and returned to the phone.

"Found it," Hera said.

"Which wall is it?" Shen Ye asked hurriedly.

"None, actually it’s this phone, but I don’t know the method to time travel," Hera replied.

"Let me take a look."

Shen Ye picked up the phone, thought for a moment, opened ’Phone Settings’, found ’Time and Date’, clicked in, and saw four options on the page—

"24-hour format;"

"Automatic setting;"

"Time zone;"

"Designated setting."

The first three were normal.

Shen Ye clicked on the last ’Designated setting’.

Suddenly, a clock appeared on the phone screen, with the minute hand continuously rolling back.

Shen Ye looked up and exchanged a glance with Hera.

Both felt a subtle sense of movement—

Clearly standing still, yet feeling like they were moving against the current in one direction.

Ding!

The minute hand stopped, emitting a crisp sound.

They waited for a few moments.

—Unfortunately, the compartment was empty, with no reference points to judge the passage of time.

"Did it really go back three quarters of an hour?" Shen Ye asked.

"I sensed many causes and effects, which means the professionals are still in this tower and haven’t died," Hera said.

"Since they’re still alive, it should be three quarters of an hour earlier now," Shen Ye said.

"Yes," Hera replied.

On the phone.

A new message suddenly appeared:

"Come to the last room in the hallway on the left on the seventh floor, I’m waiting for you here."

—Xu Xingke.

It’s the teacher’s message!

Shen Ye got up happily, placed his hand on the wall, and set the obstacle as:

"The distance from here to the last room in the hallway on the left on the seventh floor."

He took Hera with him and stepped through the door.

...

Inside the room.

Xu Xingke was sitting on an iron chair, wearing manacles and shackles.

"Teacher, I’m here to save you!"

Shen Ye immediately drew out the You Huang knife, ready to cut open the restraints.

"Don’t move these restraints—I’ve been captured by the Twisted Sanctuary, they plan to transport me back and interrogate me slowly."

Xu Xingke said.

"I’ll get you out!" Shen Ye said.

"No need," Xu Xingke appeared unusually calm, "they won’t kill me for now, since I still have a lot of highly valuable information."

"Then—"

"They trust in the strength of these restraints very much, and they won’t kill me for now, so I’m temporarily placed here."

"This also ensures that I can meet with you."

Shen Ye thought it over and found it quite reasonable.

Moreover, the Master of Sequence behind the teacher is that God!

How would God not know how to unlock?

Shen Ye relaxed, looked up, and saw a new clause appear above the teacher’s head:

"Bloodthirsty Emperor."

"Negative clause."

"Description: This is a display clause to let people know of his evil."

"Teacher, why do you have such a clause?" Shen Ye asked in surprise.

"The angels despise me for killing too many and gave me this clause as a mark to make me reflect," Xu Xingke said calmly.

"What about others?"

"Right now, I’m the only human."

"...Did God say anything?" Shen Ye asked.

"Not a peep, no word on his stance," Xu Xingke sneered.

Shen Ye recalled certain past communications with God, pondered, and said:

"When he doesn’t speak, it usually signifies one thing."

"What thing?" Xu Xingke asked.

"He has no issue with you," Shen Ye fabricated.

Teacher seemed somewhat lonely.

—Teacher is alone over there in the Holy Camp, bullied by angels, he needs some support from me!

Even if it’s fake support.

Besides.

Maybe it’s real!

If God didn’t say anything, naturally it signifies no opposition!

"...Is that so? Makes sense, then I have nothing to ponder, just continue doing it," Xu Xingke contemplated.

"Wait, teacher, have you really killed so many enemies?" Shen Ye grew cautious.

"Not many, I just killed a few hundred demons—all those who engage in nefarious deeds and during chaos wreak havoc and disaster, devouring living souls," Xu Xingke confessed.

Shen Ye couldn’t help but feel annoyed.

Killing such demons, just a few hundred, and got a clause like this stuck on by the angels.

Damn it.

Must visit Eden sometime.

Shen Ye thought silently.

But then he saw Xu Xingke tilt his head, pull out a card from his collar with his mouth, and spit it toward Shen Ye.

"Take it—it’s something I managed to bring in with difficulty."

"Alright."

Shen Ye caught the card.

On this card was illustrated a question mark.

"Secret Card."

"Creation-type Card."
