Chapter 1380: Chapter 591: Ancient Blade_3

“Go.”

Shen Ye simply let it go.

Clap clap clap clap——

A series of sounds rang out.

The seals on the surface of the coffin all opened!

Boom!

The coffin lid slowly fell down.

A monster walked out from inside.

It was a “mantis” shaped monster with two heads, four arms, and its body covered in sharp bone blades.

Judging from the power fluctuations it emitted——

It was stronger than the previous monsters!

——The moment this monster appeared, Shen Ye immediately sensed something.

He raised his long blade.

The rule threads lingering on the long blade suddenly dried up.

The “control” rule was invalidated!

Now.

Shen Ye was unable to utilize the power of the four rules to fight, nor could he exert the power of the “Zouma Lantern”.

“Something’s off.”

Charlotte suddenly spoke.

“If you can suppress the enemy’s rules, wouldn’t that be invincible? Is the Pale World that strong?” Su Su also said.

“This is too weird——The only strategy we have now is one.” said the Chaos Ship.

“What is it?” Uncle Qi asked.

“Run.” said the Chaos Ship.

“To hell with you.” Su Su and Uncle Qi said in unison.

The monster let out a series of increasingly sharp cries, and looked toward Shen Ye.

Shen Ye suddenly spoke:

“You all hold it off for me, I’m going to do something else.”

“Okay.”

Charlotte, Su Su, and Uncle Qi appeared together.

The Chaos Ship said, “I’ll accompany you, at least to have someone to watch out.”

“Good.”

Without saying much, Shen Ye shouted “door” and stepped in, disappearing.

The surface of the Pale World.

——At an abandoned tower, at its pinnacle, the Gate of Spirit Communication suddenly appeared.

Shen Ye walked out and looked at the incomplete mural on the wall.

He tore down the mural.

A pile of skeletons immediately fell out from it.

It’s the messenger’s skeleton!

Shen Ye chanted a spell, beginning to cast the “Catastrophe Resurrection” technique.

Lines of small, glowing text continuously emerged:

“The rules you possess are being completely sealed.”

“‘Catastrophe Resurrection’ is a power of the Destruction Camp, not belonging to other rules.”

“This resurrection technique will not be sealed!”

All the skeletons immediately formed, with flesh, hair, and facial features growing out.

“Ah!”

“Alive!”

Two voices sounded simultaneously.

——It was the messenger and the Red Heart King!

“Wait a moment, I’ll block the disaster, we’ll talk later,” Shen Ye said.

“No need to worry,” the messenger, seeing the look on Shen Ye’s face, waved his hand and said, “We have considered your pressure, so we drowned together by drinking water.”

“This is easy to handle, just spit the water out,” said the Red Heart King.

Shen Ye indeed found his mouth and throat filled with water.

——These mission cards were quite considerate.

He spat all the water out, then said, “I’ve discovered a problem.”

“What problem?” the messenger asked.

Shen Ye recounted the battle process.

The two cards fell into deep thought.

“What do you think?” the messenger asked.

“There’s no way——despite the fact that there might be some secret here, our mission is ‘Eternal’, and the goal is to meet the ‘Pale King’——we can’t split our focus to investigate the monsters,”

the Red Heart King solemnly said.

“Completing this task is already extremely difficult, we are truly on the brink of death, almost unable to even attempt suicide,” the messenger sighed.

“In that case, you continue with your mission, and I’ll investigate the monster’s secret,” Shen Ye said.

“That’s the only way,” the messenger said.

“However,” the Red Heart King added, “take out the scale we gave you last time.”

“Okay.”

Shen Ye handed over the “balance” scale.

The Red Heart King took the scale and produced another similar scale, showing it to Shen Ye:

“This is another vestige of an ancient law that has disappeared, and it’s just right to leave it with you.”

“Is that so? What law is it?” Shen Ye asked with interest.

“‘Rebirth’,” the Red Heart King said.

He chanted a spell, holding the two scales together and squeezing them tightly.

The two scales suddenly transformed into a “staff” shaped object, twenty centimeters long, which the Red Heart King tossed back to Shen Ye.

“I have a premonition that what you are investigating is extremely important, but we are beings within history and can only follow the predetermined path to complete our mission.”

“This task is entrusted to you.”

“This is the help we are providing you.”

The Red Heart King said.

Shen Ye caught the “short staff”, and lines of small, glowing text appeared before him:

“You have obtained the long dagger:”

“???? Ancient Blade.”

“A weapon prototype.”

“Description: Stabilized with the laws of ‘Balance’ and ‘Rebirth’, it is unaffected by your era, and due to historical continuity, the laws on the dagger will not disperse.”

“——It seems the ancient laws are about to regain power in your hands.”

Shen Ye was stunned.

This could work?

“In history, we are destined to fail, and this weapon is the hope we can pass on to you,” the messenger said.

The two watched as they prepared to disappear again into the void.

“Wait——” Shen Ye hurriedly called, “You two are strong, is the ancient Pale World really that difficult?”

The messenger and the Red Heart King exchanged a glance.

“Supposedly, it shouldn’t be this difficult. Among the four human missions, the first mission should be the easiest.”

“And the trait of humans is to utilize multiple laws.”

“Made of multiple laws, we, upon being born, were already stronger than many species’ ultimate weapons.”

“——So our failure is nearly impossible.”

“Yet, we did fail.”

Shen Ye was silent for a few moments, then spoke, “I will uncover the truth and contact you then.”

“Okay, we await your news,” the messenger said.

They walked into the void together, returning to history, disappearing.

Only Shen Ye remained standing there.

Shen Ye looked down at the long dagger in his hand——

Though it’s not a sword, it could barely serve as one.

The most important thing is——

Finally, he had a usable law.

The only thing to be cautious of is the different traits of the laws.

Perhaps the sword technique’s power would change.

Suddenly.

A “clang” sound was heard.

Shen Ye looked up to see lines of small, glowing text appearing above:

“Congratulations.”

“You have reached the crossroad of history and future and are about to witness that astonishing secret.”

“The human mission shines anew, seemingly able to continue, yet also potentially heading into eternal darkness.”

“All the laws in the Myriad Realms are witnessing this moment.”

“Please note.”

“If you let go of that secret and do not investigate, you will gain a supreme survival entry.”

“If you continue to investigate——”

“You must survive for twelve hours, to gain the recognition of the Myriad Realms’ laws and thereby obtain a unique unknown entry for humans.”

Shen Ye quickly read through it.

Supreme survival entry?

He quickly gave up on the idea.

——Abandoning the intelligence is akin to surrendering.

In that case.

He would never be able to understand the operational mechanisms of the Pale World, nor defeat the monsters here.

Further unable to acquire the “Pale Law”.

Without laws…

He would forever be at the mercy of others.

Should he really submit to the Time Saint, or forever hide from Old John, and never enhance his power again?

Some people live but feel utterly stifled.

How is that different from working a miserable job?

Doing the most painful things, yet calling it a livelihood.

What’s the point!

Come to think of it, my Duck form is still working hard!

With that, Shen Ye gripped the dagger tightly——

He must continue to investigate the secret!

Sparks of light radiated from the “short staff”-like dagger, forming a thirty-centimeter-long blade edge.

——Short but still cute!

Could this kill the enemy?

Whatever!

If stabbing doesn’t work, I’ll bash the enemy to death with it!

In any case——

He absolutely wouldn’t live under someone else’s watch!

Shen Ye tied the dagger to his waist, reached out to summon a door, and took a step through.
