Skeleton Throne.
Shen Ye rested his chin in his hand, watching the Ten Thousand Demon Heaven-Born Soul-Killing Gu King Pool below.
"Is this how you conduct the selection?"
He asked casually.
"Yes, my King," a demon replied softly, "only the strongest among us can enter and undergo the trial of life or death."
"Youâre the first to return alive."
Shen Ye smiled.
These demons were extremely powerful, nearly invincible, yet they still resorted to such means.
âit shows how formidable their enemies must be.
On the other hand.
This method of nurturing Gu has never succeeded, but by sheer coincidence, it allowed me to break away from the technique.
So the question arises.
What exactly am I?
Shen Yeâs gaze fell upon the Ten Thousand Demon Heaven-Born Soul-Killing Gu King Poolâ
Crowds of monsters stood by the pool, harnessing their strength to maintain its operation.
He remained silent, continuously observing the techniqueâs operation.
After a moment.
A line of faint words appeared:
"As a future Third Order Life Maker, youâve discovered all the capabilities of this technique, understood its mysteries, and can summon the same strength to release it."
Shen Ye closed his eyes.
Fortunately.
I am human.
This technique requires contributions from various races and laws for its maintenance.
For the "Golden Seed."
All things and beings are merely trials it faces.
But the irony isâ
Among humans, who are like "NPCs," just material within the technique, one has emerged from this pool of competition at the end.
Indeed.
âI am human.
Shen Ye was pondering quietly when he suddenly sensed a vibration on his body.
Cell phone?
My physical form was only constructed after leaving; where did a cell phone come from?
Curiously, he pulled out the phone.
Lines of small text began appearing:
"Automatically connecting to Wifi, âThe All-knowing and All-powerful Lordâs network blesses you.â
"Start retrieving message records."
"Ding!"
"Youâve received a new message:"
"The Demon Nestâs locations shift constantly, deeply hidden, please hold on for a while, we will arrive as quickly as possible to help you escape from the demonâs lair."
Shen Ye silently looked, scrolling through past message records.
There was indeed a message:
"Quite thoughtful."
...It was that sword cultivator.
No, it was that hero.
So he did enter the Ten Thousand Demon Heaven-Born Soul-Killing Gu King Pool once and left?
Just like God?
Shen Ye put the phone away.
âfeeling slightly tense.
This sensation is akin to meeting an online friend.
Itâs not just about meeting the sword cultivator, but also because the Godâs network has been reactivated.
It proves one thing.
God exists in this real world!
These two powerful beings are coming to rescue me from the Demon Nest!
Tsk.
Shen Yeâs eyes flickered, looking downwards again.
The swarm of monsters still maintained the Ten Thousand Demon Heaven-Born Soul-Killing Gu King Pool.
Each of them was strong.
ââbut such strength could only be measured by past standards.
"Strange."
A demon muttered.
"Whatâs wrong?" asked the monster presiding over the Gu Pool.
"All the mysterious source power in the pool, and that Doomsday True Flame, are exhausted," the demon said.
The monster puzzled, "It seemed the King destroyed some when defeating them, but they should regenerate."
A group of monsters consequently glanced back at Shen Ye on the throne.
Shen Yeâs lips curled into a smile.
All three of his personas were U-level, and after merging, their strength compounded.
He absorbed the forces of mystery and doom.
And the lexicon.
The real worldâs Dharma Realm seems more magnificent and vast, with strength like an endless abyssal sea.
His lexicon felt comfortable and resilient here.
Regarding professionâ
He observed the Dharma Realm just now.
There is no "Life Maker" profession present.
Thereforeâ
Escaping from the Ten Thousand Demon Heaven-Born Soul-Killing Gu King Pool wasnât due to anything else but because he was strong enough.
"This Gu Pool is useless."
Shen Ye said.
"My King, I donât understand what you mean," the monster said.
"I am the most powerful entity it can produce, no matter how you infer using it, nothing will surpass me."
"âbecause the forces of mystery and doom have all been absorbed by me."
"Hence, stop the Gu Pool."
Shen Ye spoke with an air of casual conversation.
The monsters exchanged glances.
The leading monster gathered courage and said:
"My Kingânot that we doubt you, but there are more than just one enemy."
"While we can defeat most mighty beings, there are at least three to four we cannot kill."
Shen Ye glanced at it, suddenly drawing Chenqing Blade, waving through the air.
Without warningâ
Before the monster could evade, it was split into two halves by a strike.
Boom!
Its body instantly disintegrated into countless scattered light spots, slipping into darkness, disappearing.
âIt was decomposed by Chenqing Blade!
Lines of faint words emerged before Shen Ye:
"Youâre activating the lexicon, fusing the Wind Gate with yourself."
"Your attack automatically âopens the gate,â penetrating all barriers, reaching the enemy directly."
"Your blade is the Dharma Aspect, combined with the Blade Technique, enhancing its power greatly."
All the faint words flashed and vanished.
Shen Ye stood from the throne, walking down step by step.
"Thanks for the efforts you all made to bring countless races into the Gu Pool, creating such an awe-inspiring technique."
"Youâve truly set all harsh conditions perfectly."
"Without you, my achievement wouldnât be possible."
He stopped at the edge of the Ten Thousand Demon Heaven-Born Soul-Killing Gu King Pool.
