Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

Chapter 1648: Chapter 694: Hit-and-Run Fighting!

"You all can be my sons."

The words were spoken.

Shen Ye entered battle mode.

His hand rested on the hilt of his sword as he scanned the monsters, feeling an immense satisfaction.

Yes.

Insults are part of life.

When you curse someone, it must be an emotional release.

Shen Ye had been fighting for so long, his three bodies constantly busy, without any time to rest, and he was utterly fed up.

Now, it was time to fight.

Before the battle began.

He cursed his enemies thoroughly.

— That was exactly what he had planned!

"What’s the matter? Do you sons have any objections?"

Shen Ye asked further.

He was almost about to strike.

But—

The monsters stared at him in a stupor, all remaining motionless.

— Or maybe not.

Their eyes were rolling.

From head to toe, they sized him up, as if appraising him.

But they had no intention of fighting.

"?" Shen Ye.

Could it be?

Were they seriously considering it?

But what would I do with so many monster sons? Proclaim that my genes excel at mutation?

Shen Ye felt inexplicably uneasy.

Fight.

It seemed the other side had secrets, information worth uncovering.

If I don’t fight.

I’ve already declared myself their father, and they’re not making a move?

The Soul-Imbued Ball suddenly spoke:

"That’s right, you are indeed the sole medium to the future."

"But how history has led us to this point, we still need to understand a bit."

Shen Ye was skeptical.

"Understand? The entire history is just your experimental field, what else do you need to know?"

He stared at the Soul-Imbued Ball and asked.

To his surprise, the Soul-Imbued Ball answered seriously:

"We have particularly strengthened the experimental process, striving to ensure that the final victors are us, not you humans."

"Therefore."

"Why the experiment resulted in you, a lone human, boarding the ship—"

"History will soon provide the answer."

As the words fell.

Shen Ye immediately sensed something.

The Void was trembling.

The ship, along with all the monsters, split apart.

No—

It wasn’t splitting; rather, everything turned into countless overlapping shadows.

Shen Ye raised his hand.

His own hand also became many overlapping hands.

In countless worlds, countless versions of himself raised countless hands.

"This is... the shadow of parallel worlds."

Shen Ye murmured.

Looking around.

In each world, he was slightly different from himself.

Some were injured, some looked much older, some were missing an arm.

— In countless parallel dimensions, his experiences had been completely different!

But—

How could this be?

Lines of faint small text silently appeared:

"Since you have avatars in the past, present, and future, your actions in the present will inevitably cause changes in the three dimensions."

"Note."

"Your encounter with the enemy created great uncertainty, making the ’present’ indeterminate, thereby generating many parallel worlds."

"The ’present’ will only be reshaped once everything in the ’past’ is determined!"

"Everything is in the process of being decided!"

Shen Ye quickly read through and looked again at the Soul-Imbued Ball.

"What exactly have you done?"

He asked.

"Of course, some preparations—you needn’t know, because they happened in a past era." The Soul-Imbued Ball said.

Shen Ye paused, then said, "That makes sense."

"Perhaps you want to return to the past era to stop what we did?" the Soul-Imbued Ball asked.

"Why not?" Shen Ye replied.

He retreated a few steps, appearing ready to leave at any moment.

"It’s pointless," the Soul-Imbued Ball said lazily. "Time has already been locked by us."

"What do you mean?" Shen Ye asked.

"From now on, no one—including us—can undertake time travel." The Soul-Imbued Ball said.

Shen Ye looked to its side and saw that the Primordial Demon had already disappeared.

"What exactly are you planning to do?"

Shen Ye asked sternly.

Perhaps it was Shen Ye’s anxious expression that made the Soul-Imbued Ball continue talking—

After all, it would be exceedingly careful, not revealing any information that shouldn’t be shared.

The Soul-Imbued Ball laughed heartily and said:

"I won’t tell you anything about the past, you just need to know—"

"We exhausted our strength to completely lock time."

"Just wait and watch."

"The last human."

Shen Ye began to feel anxious.

Though he had an avatar in the past era, at present he had no idea what the other side intended to do.

"Let’s see."

He swiftly retreated, flying towards his large ship.

The monsters did not pursue.

They just quietly watched Shen Ye leave.

...

In the past.

Historical Fragments.

Half a month had passed.

This past half month.

The young Shen Ye trained in the blade technique tirelessly, almost to the point of obsession.

His sword techniques advanced visibly rapidly.

This advancement was partly due to his comprehension of various techniques and fighting, and also owing to the existence of the "Endless Snake Ring, All Laws Harmonization" entry.

All the laws of the Dharma Realm turned into his abilities under the power of the entry.

He could freely control and mobilize all laws!

Standing at such a height, he refined his sword techniques further, while the Law Life "White Emperor" constantly offered suggestions, exchanging pointers together.

The improvement in his sword techniques was incredibly swift!

Today.

As usual, Shen Ye practiced from sunrise to sunset without stopping.

Dusk was approaching.

Only then did he sheathe his sword, wipe his sweat, take a few sips from a chilled drink, and enjoy the sea breeze for a short break.

— There’s still a need for balance between work and rest.

"Care to join me for a bite?"
