Chapter 986: Chapter 465: Parasitic Empress!_3

“You have replaced that clone and become the true Shen Ye in this current world.”

“On this destiny line, you actually managed to survive.”

“Because you lived on after devouring that power, you’ve obtained some sort of recognition. The current world has bestowed upon you an associated entry:”

“Bloodseed.”

“Exclusive Entry.”

“Description: You can break away from the ordinary trajectory of life and do something extraordinary. The world won’t be alarmed by this or stand in your way.”

“—Your achievements are the achievements of the world.”

All the fine text flickered and disappeared.

Shen Ye stood silent for a few moments, then pulled out the “Exemption” token from his pocket.

This token came from another destiny line, from that Inspector.

Simultaneously walking two destiny lines, he had earned the world’s recognition along with a “Silent” Exemption.

But it was also incredibly dangerous.

The massive form made up of flies in the end had given him a vivid and intense omen of death.

He must not take any more risks.

Shen Ye put the token away, deciding not to use it for now.

For the moment, there were more pressing matters to attend to.

“Su Rong.”

Shen Ye muttered.

“I’ve been here all along.” Su Rong’s voice emerged.

“After watching for so long, what are your thoughts?” Shen Ye asked.

“Under normal circumstances, if this multiverse were of the same type, I would’ve already fought it. After all, our multiverse just merged, and it would be two against one—we’d have the advantage.”

“But I’ve refrained from making a move.”

“Because I once died. My body perished, and only my soul survived.”

“I know that feeling well.”

Shen Ye immediately asked: “Do you think this multiverse is dead too?”

“No.”

Su Rong uttered a single word, then fell silent.

“No? Then why have you been unwilling to act?” Shen Ye couldn’t help but press further.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than he realized the reason.

He, too, fell silent.

The room was plunged into a deathly stillness.

The very air seemed to solidify, making it almost impossible to breathe.

Eventually.

It was Shen Ye who broke the silence first:

“…Even if it’s a corpse, for it to surface right as we’re inaugurating the Sixth Era—it’s too precise to be a coincidence. Something must be wrong.”

“Exactly. Right now, there’s an opportunity to uncover the truth,” Su Rong replied.

“Then what are we waiting for?” Shen Ye asked.

“It will cost you the entry you just acquired,” Su Rong warned.

“You mean this ‘Bloodseed’?”

“Yes.”

“To use it up… then so be it.”

“You’ll have to remain silent for two days. You might even face assassination again—I feel like everything will start over, putting you in grave danger,” Su Rong said solemnly.

“I don’t care. The truth is more important than anything else. Let’s do it,” Shen Ye said resolutely.

“Then be ready.”

“I’m already prepared.”

Before Shen Ye could finish his sentence, he suddenly noticed everything around him begin to shift.

In an instant.

The entire world receded.

He found himself shrouded in endless blankness.

“The Dharma Realm?”

Shen Ye asked in confusion.

“The entry was granted through the Dharma Realm, so we need to traverse it to reach the entry’s place of origin,” Su Rong explained.

Shen Ye, sharply attuned, sensed something amiss and asked:

“You just said—granted through the Dharma Realm? Aren’t entries supposed to come *from* the Dharma Realm?”

“The ‘Bloodseed’ entry contains no actual power from the Dharma Realm. It merely uses the Realm to form a mark—there are beings beyond your comprehension capable of such methods,” Su Rong clarified.

Shen Ye remained silent.

The idea of harnessing the Dharma Realm’s power to grant entries to mortals.

He had never even heard of such a thing.

Above him, the entry labeled “Bloodseed” suddenly exploded, turning into an infinite crimson glow that enveloped his entire body.

“Get ready. We’re heading to the source of this entry. Bring out every protective artifact you have,” Su Rong called out.

Shen Ye tensed, his body moving involuntarily toward a certain direction.

Ahead.

The endless blankness had begun to shift into faint red hues, steadily deepening into a scarlet transformation.

Shen Ye’s heart sank.

At that moment.

He glanced down at the destiny line in his hand.

There was only a single curve.

Constantly shifting its colors.

This represented “an unpredictable fate.”

—Unfixed destiny, with no way of knowing what might come next!

Shen Ye took a deep breath, pulled out a black cloth to blindfold himself, activating the entry “Blind Pride,” and then produced a rooster.

“Benevolent God, transform!”

Shen Ye commanded.

“On it!” the Benevolent God Rooster crowed in response. In the void, it pecked once and caught a carrot between its beak.

Small glowing text swiftly appeared:

“Your rooster has completed its transformation.”

“Transformed Effect:”

“Carrot-Chicken.”

“Description: While holding a Carrot-Chicken in a crowd, you will be ignored (Carrot-Chicken).”

Su Rong nodded in approval and said:

“A fine Miracle. If the Truth level of its entry could be raised slightly, that would be even better.”

Shen Ye let out a low “hmph,” his tone shifting slightly.

Immediately, another set of glowing text appeared:

“You’ve activated the entry ‘War Dance Songstress.'”

“‘Blind Pride’ has been elevated to the Fourth Order of Truth, and the effect of ‘Carrot-Chicken’ has been advanced by one rank.”

That will do!

Shen Ye’s flight grew significantly faster.

At this point.

The vast Dharma Realm had been completely dominated by a scarlet hue.

One by one, blood-red conduits materialized in the sky, piercing through the Dharma Realm with no discernible destination.

Shen Ye took a quick measurement.

Each blood-red conduit was roughly as thick as his arm.

They writhed, emitting a gurgling sound, as if someone were drinking through a straw.

“What are these conduits?” Shen Ye asked.

“The Dharma Realm doesn’t have anything like this. Be cautious—we’re getting close!” Su Rong warned.
