"The network is connected."
"You have a new notification, please check."
These two lines appeared on the phone.
Shen Ye looked at the two lines of words, then glanced around.
It was truly baffling—
At the mont.
He was not amidst the boundless Sword Rain.
Valhado was not in front of him, either.
Skyscrapers stood all around, the streets were bustling with traffic, and people were flowing ceaselessly.
The sun was shining brightly.
—This was the Human World.
Why?
Could it be that Valhado used so technique to send him to the Human World?
Shen Ye opened the notification on his phone.
"We are aware of your plan and admire it. Please et at the church at the end of the road ahead."
—It shouldn’t be Valhado.
After all, the wifi provider is the "All-knowing and All-powerful Lord." Perhaps the ssage was from him.
Shen Ye casually walked to the end of the road.
There indeed stood a white church.
The church door was open.
No one was inside.
Under the arched do, rows of stone pillars stood solemnly.
Light shone through the stained glass windows, casting a colorful glow. Amid the faint hymns, it soothed the heart.
An old man in a white robe sat on a bench, beckoning to him.
Shen Ye pointed at himself.
The old man nodded.
Shen Ye walked in, heading straight to the old man, and said:
"May I know your na?"
"I provided your network, child," the old man said kindly.
Shen Ye’s heart trembled, and he quickly clasped his hands together, saying:
"Thank you, sir. I didn’t expect you to personally descend here."
"It’s alright—actually, you did a big favor, and I should be thanking you," the old man said.
Shen Ye looked puzzled.
The old man waved his hand and said, "During the Genesis, I decided everything and knew that the final era would erge with the Laws."
"In other words, when everything started from zero, I was aware."
"Since you were aware, why didn’t you stop it earlier—" Shen Ye said.
The old man interrupted him:
"I will not stop everything from happening."
"It’s like when you throw a stone to skip it across the water, your will is to ’throw it,’ ’see how many tis it skips,’ not to ’prevent it from being thrown.’
"Likewise, when the Divine Spirit throws the stone, it won’t be capricious."
Shen Ye shrugged.
—The Divine Spirit refuses to admit any mistakes, right?
"But you still did a favor," the old man said.
"I don’t understand," Shen Ye replied.
"The strength of the strange life is beyond imagination. Their master detected my existence and used all mysterious power to imitate ."
"—That is Valhado," the old man said.
"Valhado is strange life!" Shen Ye blurted out.
"Precisely, it was created to replace ."
"Did it succeed?" Shen Ye asked.
"I haven’t taken action, what do you think?"
"Why didn’t you act?" Shen Ye pursued.
"Because I only play high-level gas," the old man’s tone was as deep as the sea.
Shen Ye was stunned, looking at the old man in front of him.
High-level ga—
Did you play?
Where did you play?
—That Sword Rain wasn’t yours, was it?
And this ti, it was in a life-and-death duel with Valhado.
You just provided wifi.
It was even charged.
Yet, the old man continued earnestly:
"Valhado is trapped in a Sword Rain, the outco unknown, so to reward you, I pulled you over here to give a little advice."
"I am all ears," Shen Ye said.
The old man beca serious and spoke:
"’Valhado’s’ identity consists of many extrely powerful Truth Creations."
"If you truly succeed—"
"You will beco an existence coveted by many strange lives."
"Coveting for what?" Shen Ye asked.
"To dismantle your Truth Creations and achieve their mysterious identity," the old man replied.
Now Shen Ye understood.
—For example, after defeating the Umbrella Demon, Annie consud that Black Umbrella.
Now.
Annie could bestow the "Mysterious Power" on individual beings.
If I defeat Valhado.
Countless strange beings will want to claim Valhado’s "inheritance" from .
Hearing the old man continue:
"As a human, continue using mysterious power? Or completely transform into strange life, serving the Quirky Camp?"
"This is the most important question."
"I don’t see any difference in this," Shen Ye honestly said.
"The Eternal Poem is humanity’s mission. If you succeed and decide to serve the Quirky Camp, the Eternal Poem will end completely."
"—Because you are the last human to receive this mission."
"What consequences will there be?" Shen Ye asked.
"Humans will lose their mission and enter complete destruction—while you will, with my help, beco an exceptionally powerful existence among the strange."
"As a human, all strange lives will co to attack you."
"They won’t allow you, the ’Old Order’ maintainer, to possess such powerful mysterious strength."
"Make your decision here."
"—I will only help you this once, regardless of which path you choose."
The old man said.
Shen Ye was silent for a few monts, then spoke:
"I will carry the Eternal Poem forward, rather than becoming a strange life."
"Decided?" The old man asked.
"Yes," Shen Ye replied.
"But why?" The old man pressed.
"It’s funny to say, there’s a flavor of instant noodles I buy every ti I go to the supermarket."
"When I eat it, I really enjoy pairing cold drinks with sausages."
"If humanity becos extinct, this kind of food will no longer be available."
