"Such a big matter, youâre asking me?" Shen Ye said in surprise.
"You are the first to discover me, and also the first human who can force me out, so you are qualified to answer this question."
"I canât speak for others, but if you ask me personally, I disagree." Shen Ye said.
"Why is that? Throughout the entire historical process, you should be able to live a long life, unaffected by the plan."
The authoritative voice asked.
"...It doesnât seem to affect me too much," Shen Ye scratched his head, "but it doesnât make me happy."
"Just thinking about something constantly surveilling and affecting me and those around me, even our descendants, really makes one unhappy."
"You canât buy my happiness with all the money in the world."
"You rejected me." The voice said.
"Sorry, it seems so. If you insist on proceeding with the planâand starting from me, I am willing to resign." Shen Ye said.
If this matter was put on someone elseâ
The first hurdle would be Teacher Guang.
Shen Ye could already imagine Xu Xingkeâs reaction to this kind of situation.
Xu Xingke would surely be leaning with a cigarette, squinting and sneering:
"Control humanity? Do you want to die or eat shit?"
Hmph.
No need to think further.
"Resignation is not an option, gather your comrades and fight me."
"This is a battle that must be fought."
"Come on!"
Shen Yeâs vision blurred.
He could hear the opponentâs voice, feel the arrival of deathâ
As if he were already in a dying state.
âWithout even seeing the true culprit, he was about to kneel!
Knife?
Dharma Aspect?
Or something else?
No, canât unleash any of them!
"Activate."
Shen Yeâs voice was hoarse as he uttered the last two words.
Instantly.
Rows of faint small text quickly surfaced:
"You have activated the old entry âNest Builderâ."
"For the next hour, you can choose a type of ability and make it surpass all other types within the nest."
"Unselectable types: Dharma Aspect, Entry."
"You have chosen a new strength type:"
"Gate."
"âOld entry âNest Builderâ is now in effect!"
"For the next hour, Gate power surpasses all abilities!"
Shen Ye kneeled on the ground, propped his hands, and barely tightened his fists, forcefully pulling from the blanknessâ
A Forbidden Land Gate was pulled open by him!
He rolled directly inside, shutting the gate fiercely.
Bang!
A soft sound.
The gate secretly disappeared, as if it never existed.
In the endless blankness, only those black lines floated in mid-air, continually constructing something.
âIn that moment.
Some black lines attempted to follow Shen Yeâs movement.
But failed!
In this hour, Gate power is the strongest!
And Shen Yeâs Forbidden Land Gate possesses Triple Gate Power:
"1. Possesses the original power of the Gate of Spirit Communication;"
"2. The gate doesnât truly exist, moreover, only your selected target can pass through this gate."
"3. Those not chosen by you can absolutely not detect this gate."
The opponent followed Shen Yeâs movement but cannot pass through the Forbidden Land Gate!
Dong.
A sound.
Shen Ye fell from the dark void, landing on the cold hard stone floor of the cell.
"You look in bad shape, what happened just now?" White Emperor asked.
Without waiting for Shen Ye to answer, he had already moved his hand, gathering various runes, starting to replenish Shen Yeâs strength.
"Hmm?"
White Emperorâs voice suddenly rose.
"...Whatâs wrong?" Shen Ye lay on the ground, continuously gasping.
"Donât move, itâs interesting, you actually have over eight thousand curses... they are interacting and continually producing new curses..."
White Emperor became interested, quickly forming gestures with his hands, performing techniques.
In the void.
Various runes poured down like a torrential rain, converging on Shen Ye, rapidly eliminating various curses for him.
"Have you all forgotten me?" Dark Great Serpent roared furiously.
"Donât make noise, his condition is extremely unusual now, I am removing his cursesâitâs something only I can do."
White Emperor said without turning his head.
"What about me! I, the great demon Rahu, am trapped in this bodyâ"
"I said donât make noise." White Emperor coldly glanced at the giant serpent.
"How insolent, I now possess endless power!" The serpent roared angrily.
"You donât." Shen Ye interjected.
As White Emperor applied his techniques, Shen Ye finally started to feel a bit alive.
To prevent the serpent (Rahu) from causing trouble, he gasped a few times and continued:
"I originally wanted to take the serpentâs power, but that power retracted instantly. I suspect the nest recalled it to prevent us from freeloading."
"So you donât have the serpentâs powerâyou only possess your original strength."
This quieted the serpent.
White Emperor continued to remove curses for Shen Ye.
Shen Ye recovered for a while, couldnât help but pick up the demon exorcism book and flip through the pages.
Only to see that originally blank pages now reveal something.
âA cellphone?
Shen Ye felt a wave of strangeness in his heart.
No way.
The cellphone was clearly my trump card.
How did it become the hidden figure behind the scenes, controlling humanity for countless years?
âBesides, there were no cellphones in ancient times!
As he looked closely, he found that the mechanical creation resembled a cellphone, but also somewhat like a pocket computer.
Its screen displayed strings of characters in frantic succession.
Meanwhile.
The pocket watch from the nest suddenly emerged, appearing before everyone.
It addressed Shen Ye:
"This trial was originally meant to help you resolve some personal issues."
"Unexpectedly, you caused such a big commotion."
"Iâm very sorry, it wasnât intentionalâmay I ask what happens now?" Shen Yeâs attitude was excellent, asking politely.
