Chapter 1636 - 687: The First Door! (Part 3)

This time.

There was no retreat!

Suddenly.

A voice echoed in Shen Ye’s ear:

"It is time, let me take over."

Both versions of Shen Ye were simultaneously shocked.

This was the voice of God!

Hadn’t he never intervened before?

In an instant.

Endless sacred light descended upon Shen Ye, prompting him to hurriedly open the Spirit Ruins Gate to welcome this "All-knowing and All-powerful Lord"!

On the other side.

The captain’s cabin.

After Shen Ye and the soul-imbued ball entered the Dharma Realm.

In the void.

A figure suddenly appeared.

Good Duck!

It was entwined with the small silver serpent that Shen Ye had just placed into the void, and with a swift movement, it landed in front of the sealed chamber door.

The door was impregnable.

There was no key to open it.

But Good Duck had already prepared for this.

It spread its wings, pressed itself firmly against the door, and shouted loudly:

"Little snake, little snake, it’s your turn now!"

The silver serpent, transformed from the "Mandala Uroboros," heard the summons and entered its body.

In an instant.

Dimly glowing small text quietly appeared:

"SSS-level ’Mandala Uroboros’ is merging you into the sealed chamber door."

"Please wait."

While both versions of Shen Ye were in the Dharma Realm holding off the enemy, uninterrupted, Good Duck gradually merged into the door.

Once its body had completely disappeared into the door, another line of dimly glowing small text appeared:

"You activate the sub-phrase ’Mandala Chant,’ extracting yourself from the door."

Inside the chamber.

Duck’s body was "spat" out by the door, gently landing on the ground.

Finally arrived!

It clutched its head with its wings and squatted on the ground, groaning for a while.

A brain is a useful thing.

But operating three accounts simultaneously stretches the brain too thinly, causing dizziness.

No other option.

The battle had reached its most critical moment.

Every step must be precise, for one misstep could lead to entropy, leaving not even a single duck feather behind.

Good Duck steadied itself and looked around the chamber.

Indeed, there was a door here.

But this door was unlike any other—

It was entirely black, occasionally blurry, occasionally clear, with light twisting into a vortex as it approached.

—This door was like a black hole, absorbing everything around it and emitting a constant noise.

This is it!

Good Duck’s heart raced with excitement.

It was finally about to uncover the last secret of the Eternal Poem!

It flew forward and pressed its wing against the door.

At that moment.

Lines of dimly glowing small text quietly appeared:

"You have contacted the ’Door of Separation.’

"This is the gate power first formed within the Dharma Realm, also known as the First Door."

"Only those who have completed the Eternal Poem may utilize it."

"Details are as follows:"

"Door of Separation."

"The highest achievement created for the survival of all sentient beings."

"Description: Inheriting the power of this door allows one to connect or sever the ’future’ following the Entropy Destruction Era from the ’past’ before it."

"—The final act of goodwill from the Dharma Realm."

All the small text disappeared.

The next moment.

More lines of prompts refreshed:

"Congratulations."

"You have completed the ’Awakening’ mission."

"You have now reached the final step."

"The Holy Mother Mary will reveal to you the last mission of the Eternal Poem, which is the ultimate secret."

On the wall.

The Holy Mother Mary quietly appeared, addressing Shen Ye:

"It’s truly unbelievable that someone actually reached this point."

"Now I must tell you about that event."

"—In fact, during the great battle between the high-dimensional lord and the apocalypse, all sentient beings, all things, the laws, and indeed everything, gained sentience."

"The most important thing is—"

"The Dharma Realm awakened."

Good Duck was startled, blurting out:

"Are you saying the entire Dharma Realm gained sentience?"

"Exactly so."

Maria continued:

"Upon awakening, it immediately perceived the various causes and effects of past and future, and was acutely aware that all sentient beings faced entropy."

"So it did one thing."

"What?" Good Duck asked.

"Created the gate power—this door is the most important of all gate powers."

"And to ensure it wouldn’t fall into the hands of other entities, the Dharma Realm made a covenant with humanity—"

"Only those who complete the Eternal Poem have the right to inherit the power of this door."

Maria stated.

Good Duck silently reflected.

Indeed.

Your gate power is transforming.

Not only that.

The surging power of the magical realm is transmitted from the door, continuously enhancing my all attributes.

Briefly.

Two lines of small, glowing text appeared:

"You have inherited the current Door of Separation."

"With the joint blessing of the magical realm and humanity, your all attributes have risen to S-rank."

—S-rank!

At this moment.

Good Duck reflected on the long road to completing the Eternal Poem, feeling that all the hardships finally became worthwhile at this moment.

"The magical realm is quite generous to all beings."

Good Duck sighed.

"That’s not the case." Maria said.

"Huh?"

"After this door was fully created by the magical realm, the realm changed." Maria said.

"—The magical realm soon realized that all beings are extremely weak and ugly, unworthy of the power bestowed upon them."

"The magical realm abandoned all beings."

"If it were here, it would surely destroy all beings!"

Good Duck trembled all over.

The magical realm...

The techniques, attributes, and even the strength of all beings originate from the magical realm.

If it was determined to kill, it should be invincible, right?

"...Where is it?"

Good Duck asked.

Maria stepped forward, gently caressing the "Door of Separation," silently looking at Good Duck.

Good Duck understood.

"It is in the future."

He said.

"Yes." Maria said.

"...Is it my son?" Good Duck asked again.

"Yes." Maria said.

A storm of emotions surged inside Good Duck.

No wonder that guy could ignore God’s power and transform the Other Shore Ship into a future-type monster!

Wait a minute.

The magical realm has already been to the "present" twice!

"But—the door hasn’t functioned yet, the magical realm can still arrive at the ’present’ from the ’future’!"

Good Duck couldn’t help but say.

"Because the power of this door has not been activated." Maria said.

Good Duck nodded.

That means—

The Eternal Poem is indeed difficult to complete.

He is the first.

Then, as long as—

Hmm?

Good Duck looked at Maria in disbelief.

He found he couldn’t move.

Maria placed a hand on Good Duck’s head, controlling him with some unknown technique.

"The past, present, and future haven’t been determined, precisely because the ’present’ is not certain."

The Holy Mother Mary continued:

"Once the ’present’ is determined, the past will be concluded, and the future will also become clear."

"At that time, you will see the real results of the apocalypse and the high-dimensional battle, and the future magical realm will also remember everything from the past."

"It will unleash all its ’malice’ and destroy everything from the past!"

Good Duck gasped, saying:

"Why are you against me?"

Maria said: "Although I belong to the Sacred Side, I was born from the magical realm, being a pure spirit of the magical realm."

"The magical realm killing me would mean it kills itself."

"So in the future, I am destined to have a place."

Good Duck said nothing.

—His body was controlled by the other party.

What to do?

"So you want to open the door?" Good Duck asked.

Maria’s voice trembled slightly as she solemnly said:

"That’s right, this door determines the ’present,’ if it’s opened, then it simultaneously decides the ’past’ and ’future,’ it is the ’conclusion’ of everything!"

"Then you should let me go," Good Duck said frankly.

"You’re not a being of the magical realm—I guess you will stand on the side of humans, completely severing ’present’ and ’future’ to protect humanity, right?"

Maria said mockingly.

Good Duck’s gaze turned sharp like a blade, and he said: "You got it wrong."

The other’s technique controlled him, causing him to involuntarily press his wings in the void, summoning the "door."

Rumble—

The door opened.

Endless darkness seemed alive, about to gush out from the door—

Almost simultaneously.

The young Shen Ye stepped from the void.

"Go for it—"

He kicked Good Duck on the butt, booting him into the door, loudly saying:

"Son, this is your other dad!"

Boom!!!

The door slammed shut.

—The door disappeared immediately.

Two lines of small, glowing text appeared in the void:

"You activated the ’Door of Separation,’ choosing to separate the ’present’ and ’future.’"

"This gate power made a decision, preventing the ’future’ from affecting anything in the ’present.’"

The young Shen Ye looked at the stunned Maria and shrugged:

"God asked me to pass you a message."

"—You’re fired."
