But I don’t understand at all—
Since it’s a fragnt, how does it operate?
If I keep living until the end of the fragnt, what will happen?
Will the world be destroyed?
Will I die?
As he pondered, a sequence emitted lines of tiny glowing words:
"Small fragnts will skip directly to the start, continuing from the beginning of the fragnt to the end."
"Large fragnts will accompany ’civilization extinction events,’ such as floods, teorites, earthquakes, or life mutations."
"After the civilization ends, everything will start anew, evolving into another trajectory of civilization."
"Explanation complete."
Shen Ye withdrew his gaze, picked up his tea, and took another sip.
"I’m not interested in the resources and wealth of this world,"
he said.
"What do you want to gain?" the fat man asked.
"That depends on what you have—if it can move , I’ll take action," Shen Ye said.
The fat man spoke:
"Low-interest loan."
He placed a contract on the table.
"Sign the loan agreent, and your strength will imdiately triple, with only a minimal interest paynt required."
"How much is the interest?" Shen Ye asked.
"Within three years, you only need to pay nine slaves of equivalent strength, and the interest and principal will be fully paid off," the fat man said.
I must say, it’s very tempting.
Three tis the strength!
But—
"This doesn’t align with my philosophy; I never enslave others," Shen Ye refused.
Nine beings of equivalent strength!
And it’s enslavent!
In comparison, killing is much simpler.
Besides, I don’t like such things.
"Also," the fat man said, "you mysterious ones don’t favor human civilization’s ways; you are the purest and most direct."
He put away the contract and placed a green gemstone on the table.
"The ’God Ghost Society’ historical fragnt pass ’Ghost Eye Green Gemstone.’
"That segnt of history is grander and more prosperous than our ’Night Club.’ If you wish to go, you’ll need this gemstone."
"—After all, the void is filled with the powers of high-dinsional beings and the end tis. Without a pass, rely traveling through the void, being grazed by these powers would scatter your soul completely."
The fat man patiently explained.
"Prepare your gemstone." Shen Ye stood up and walked outside.
"No problem." The fat man smiled.
He watched Shen Ye vanish at the end of the corridor.
A few subordinates quietly surrounded him and said, "Sir, he actually agreed."
"Isn’t that a good thing?" the fat man asked.
"It is good, but what if he loses..."
"It’s their nature for mysterious lives to attack each other upon eting; it’s normal for them, unrelated to us."
"But what if..."
"What if he dies? It’s simple—we’ll act as if nothing happened and continue serving that strong mysterious life."
"Understood."
...
Shen Ye strolled along the street.
—Honestly, no matter what the other offers, I would choose to make a deal.
That way, at least temporarily, they won’t side with other powerful ogres.
Ogres must not unite!
I need this situation.
Suddenly, a violent collision sounded nearby.
Shen Ye snapped back to reality and turned around to look.
Seeing a bus crash into a speeding dump truck.
A few people died on the spot.
Cries of agony echoed from the bus, with blood splattered on the window.
Shen Ye watched for a few monts and asked:
"Sequence, are these people just samples in history, or are they truly alive?"
The sequence imdiately responded:
"They are all alive—the battle between the high-dinsional beings and the end tis shattered the main history, but beings still live within those histories."
"Each restart of historical fragnts generates new humans, new histories."
They’re all alive, huh.
Shen Ye stepped toward the accident scene, intending to save so people.
But a little girl’s voice whispered in his ear:
"Don’t intervene."
It’s Cassandra of the Soul Capturing Net!
Shen Ye didn’t stop, smoothly entering a nearby alley.
"Why not let save people?"
He asked silently.
Cassandra responded:
"I sensed that those people’s souls were ’devoured’—it’s likely so technique chanism of this world."
"It’s sowhat similar to my abilities."
"Once you reveal yourself, your identity will be imdiately exposed."
Shen Ye remained silent for a few monts, suddenly realizing.
Indeed.
This is the primary historical fragnt of humanity.
How did the ogres treat humans after dominating this segnt of history?
"I want to take a look."
Shen Ye said.
"This is manageable, but you must be cautious, this world is full of ’Destiny Nets’ that prey on souls," Cassandra said.
"What is a Destiny Net?" Shen Ye asked.
"It uses a destiny to end all beings, taking away their flesh and souls - actually, I know this trick too," Cassandra said.
"Let see."
"Get ready, I’ll show you the truth right away."
The void opened.
A little girl fell from the Dharma Aspect, clinging onto Shen Ye’s shoulder, pinching a Spell Seal with one hand.
In an instant.
Shen Ye felt himself shrouded in a Technique.
Subtle small characters quietly erged:
"Your ’Eye of Truth’ has received the Soul Magic enhancent of the Truth Creation ’Soul Capturing Net’."
"Now you can see skills like ’Destiny Nets’."
Shen Ye subconsciously raised his head and looked toward the sky.
The sky.
Dozens of glowing long threads bind souls, flying towards the depths of the sky.
——Judging by the direction they are flying, they should be from the car accident scene just now.
Shen Ye’s gaze swept across the sky.
He saw strands of long threads hanging down from behind the clouds, falling into the city, tied around every human’s neck.
Like farming.
Like a wheat field ready to be harvested at any mont.
"This is boring..."
Shen Ye murmured.
He gently lifted his hand, pressed it against the You Huang sword at his waist.
The sword——
Began to emit an invisible murderous intent.
"I don’t recomnd you doing that, there’s no benefit at all."
A voice echoed from the other side of the alley.
Shen Ye’s heart sank.
How could he not have noticed!
He slowly turned his head and gazed toward the other side of the alley.
He saw a man dressed in a black coat, wearing black round glasses, holding a black umbrella standing there.
This person emitted fine black light particles all over his body.
"I didn’t notice either, logically, just looking wouldn’t be detected by such a ’Destiny Net’," Cassandra whispered on Shen Ye’s back.
She suddenly realized sothing, her Physique retreated backward, disappeared into the Dharma Aspect.
"It’s a strange life!"
Charlotte’s voice was filled with tension.
Shen Ye also realized.
——Because he had already felt an extrely intense oppressive force.
This oppressive force made him feel uncomfortable all over, almost unable to launch any attack.
Oppression.
Naturally stems from the Truth Attribute.
"You actually use Mysterious Shadow to store things, truly interesting."
The man said, hands resting on the black umbrella.
"Can’t you do it?" Shen Ye asked with a smile.
He began to mobilize the Power of Destruction within him, causing his Truth Rank to explosively escalate.
Level Twenty-two.
Level Twenty-three.
...
Level Twenty-six!
Shen Ye’s hand pressed on the long sword.
The long sword remained motionless.
That move "Instant Slash" couldn’t be perford!
This ans his sword techniques couldn’t find a strike to kill the opponent.
Causality couldn’t be activated!
"I am of the combat variety, worlds apart from your dull abilities," the man with the umbrella said.
"Why stop ?" Shen Ye glanced at the sky and asked.
"Ogres now work for - over a long period of ti, I need to continually devour souls, increase my strength - considering we both belong to the Mysterious category, I’ll give you a word,"
The man grinned:
"Scram, this Historical Fragnt is mine."
"——If you dare touch anything here, I’ll kill you."
Shen Ye stared at the opponent, gripping the handle of the long sword with his five fingers.
No retreat.
Although the opponent said that, his entire aura continued to rise.
The purpose of speaking was just to probe the reality and extent of his abilities.
Combat is inevitable.
Shen Ye sighed and pressed on the sword handle.
"Holy Songstress" activated.
——Including "Instant Slash," all skills raised two levels.
"I have words for you too."
He spoke.
"What?" the opponent asked.
Just as the opponent spoke, Shen Ye moved.
You Huang sword suddenly leapt out of its sheath, instantly cutting Shen Ye from head to toe.
——"Inverted Shadow" activated!
Combatants exchanged body states, additionally activating You Huang sword’s "Divine Take."
At this mont.
Shen Ye did not look at the battle result, his Physique retreated backward.
He retreated into the Forbidden Land Gate.
——He disappeared from this world.
