Chapter 1254: Chapter 550: The Unknown Land! (Part 3)

But in the next instant.

A voice suddenly echoed from the river:

“Why did you leave?”

Shen Ye felt a slip under his feet, nearly falling off the rock.

He turned back——

Only to see an elusive vortex emerging in the river.

In the depths of that vortex, there seemed to be a mass of something black and viscous, unclear what it was.

As he watched the vortex, all of his strength vanished instantly.

“What the heck…”

He couldn’t help but murmur to himself.

Yes.

Just by looking at it, he immediately lost his strength.

At this moment, he could only be considered an ordinary human.

——What exactly is this monster!

A voice continued to resonate from the vortex:

“Human, give me a name. If the name you give is pleasant, I will protect you.”

“If the name is not to my liking——”

“Then you shall become the sediment in the depths of the river.”

Give a name?

Shen Ye steadied himself and asked, “May I ask what your true form is?”

As he asked, he looked at the tiny glowing words flashing in the void:

“The other party has invoked the Naming Technique.”

“You must give them a name, if it fits, they will establish a connection with you.”

“If it doesn’t——”

“You know.”

Dammit.

What should I do now?

Shen Ye mentally chanted the word “gate.”

The gate didn’t appear.

Only a line of prompt appeared:

“You are under ‘watch,’ unable to use the ‘gate’ ability.”

At this time.

The voice rang out from the vortex again:

“I am the river——of course, I wasn’t before, but from when it began… In any case, now I am this river.”

“Give me a name.”

It wants a name!

It will finish me if I don’t do it right!

Shen Ye took a deep breath and said:

“Alright, I need to think.”

“You have ten seconds.” The other side immediately replied.

Shen Ye fell into deep thought.

In fact.

He still had a higher-level destruction ability.

But now was not yet the time of despair.

If——

The name he gives could gain acceptance——

Shen Ye stood on the rock, looking over the flowing river.

“Time’s up!”

The river sounded.

Shen Ye looked at the turbulent stream, at the brains drifting along the waves, and suddenly spoke:

“If I must give a pleasant name, then let it be this one.”

“Multi-Brain River.”

“You shall be called the Multi-Brain River!”

The vortex paused for a breath, then asked: “Why Multi-Brain River?”

Shen Ye replied: “Because the name symbolizes a river as beautiful as gemstones, with many brilliant and sparkling brains hidden within——”

“No one is as romantic and wise as you.”

Another silence ensued.

Shen Ye began his final preparations.

His physique shook, suddenly transforming into a duck covered in black feathers.

A line of faint glowing words appeared:

“You used Destruction Entry, a rare transformation entry:”

“Original Spirit of Destruction.”

“From now on, others cannot discern your past identity, and you will learn of the various needs of the Will of Destruction, allowing you to gain growth in destruction talent, entries, weapons, etc., after fulfilling the Will of Destruction.”

“——Amazing duck!”

At this moment.

The duck suddenly had an epiphany.

It turned out the last “amazing duck” was a subtle hint——

——It hinted that the duck was very powerful and could continually switch “duck” entries!

Shen Ye’s transformation was complete.

This time, the power on his body did not entirely disappear.

Though still leaking away——

But very slowly.

The duck sneered, muttering quietly to itself.

As the Destruction Primordial Spirit, with exclusive entries, its strength level was very high!

If truly this comes to a fight——

Then bring it on!

At the same moment.

Within the duck’s Dharma Aspect.

The escape pod was suddenly enveloped by a technique.

——Heaven Connecting Technique.

“The current escape pod is in an energy infusion state, infusing Eternal Source Power stored for the Eternal Brain.”

“You used Heaven Connecting Technique.”

“The process directly jumps to three days later.”

“Infusion complete.”

“Congratulations.”

“You may retrieve your brain.”

“Congratulations!”

“You retrieved your brain with the duck’s body!”

“Currently, you have obtained a brand-new ‘amazing duck’ series entry——”

“If you’re going to play, play big, duck!”

All the tiny words gathered.

The duck held its breath, looking towards the river, a newfound hope surged in its heart.

With the Eternal Brain, its strength would be endless!

It wouldn’t be easily drained!

It observed the floating and sinking brains in the river and spoke again:

“How do you feel about the name I gave?”

The river finally responded:

“Not bad, the name you gave is very good, I am willing to accept it.”

Before the words were finished.

A “clang” sound was heard.

A brand-new entry appeared above the river:

“Multi-Brain River.”

“Description: This is a river filled with brains, possessing the most top-tier wisdom, evident just from its name.”

The duck was looking, but the river’s voice spoke again:

“Remember, the force of destruction is unwelcome here, the enemy of all.”

“In return for naming me, I offer you something.”

A small piece of a fine, dead branch “plopped” onto the rock in front of the duck.

“Use it to conceal your breath.”

“You won’t last long here, I hope you’ll at least have some enjoyment in your final moments.”

“We are even now.”

As the words ended.

The vortex above the river disappeared.

The river returned to calmness.

Only the duck, silently bowing its head, looked at the slender dead branch by its feet.

From the prompt, it was known——

This dead branch could mask the aura of destruction, preventing other monsters from detecting it.

Yet.

Where should it go?

If everything here were monsters like this river——

How could it find its way back?

A glimmer of confusion flashed in the duck’s eyes.
