Shen Ye asked.
"No," the White Emperor’s voice was sullen, "I’m too tired from the sparring, I want to take a rest."
"Alright then, I’ll go by myself."
Shen Ye put down the bottle of drink, rubbed his stomach, and planned to find sothing to eat.
Although there was plenty of food in the storage ring, Shen Ye lately enjoyed eating a kind of baked flatbread on the island.
Every ti after training, he would go to the island to eat.
He walked straight through the door, landing on a small path on the island.
He walked to the end, turned onto the main road, and continued under the cool breeze and shade of the trees.
Suddenly.
Shen Ye furrowed his brows slightly and stopped.
The atmosphere seed a bit off.
— There were hardly any people on the street.
Not only that.
Usually, many professionals would gather in the teahouses, restaurants, and bars, but now there wasn’t a single person in sight.
It was sunset, the most bustling ti of the day.
Those who worked during the day would also co out to enjoy the cooler air and rest at this ti.
Why was there no one?
Where were the people?
Just as Shen Ye was feeling curious, suddenly a voice sounded in his ear:
"You should be thankful."
Shen Ye leaped back tens of ters like a startled cat, suddenly slashing with a blade.
This slash ca without any warning.
Even the presence that spoke was caught off guard, forced to retreat repeatedly.
— It was a Primordial Demon!
"Why have you co again?"
Shen Ye asked in shock.
Ruptured runes of laws were densely packed around the Primordial Demon’s physique.
Shen Ye glanced at them and discerned the issue.
These runes were all ti runes, which ant—
The other party had traveled back to this mont.
He considered summoning all those runes into his hand, and with careful examination, he could determine from which ti the other party ca.
As a Harmonizer of All Laws, he could now manage to do this.
But ultimately.
Shen Ye still didn’t take action.
— For now, he couldn’t expose his ability to manipulate laws.
Yet the Primordial Demon spoke:
"Baxter, do you want to live or die?"
"...I want to live, of course," Shen Ye said as a matter of course.
"You’ve inford us about the situation in the future, which rits a reward, so this treasure was sent down to you."
It took out an item and held it in its hand.
"Is this the treasure?" Shen Ye asked.
"Yes, your ability to acquire intelligence from the future is considered a valuable talent—I do wish for you to beco one of us," said the Primordial Demon.
Shen Ye stared at the "treasure."
— It looked like a drop of water, emitting a faint blue light, suspended in the palm of the Primordial Demon.
The Primordial Demon said:
"Humans are an exceedingly small and weak race, very suitable for experintation, normally they wouldn’t even have the right to talk to ."
"But you are strong."
"You have the qualifications to be transford into one of my kind."
"Of course, you must go through a test."
It raised its hand gently.
The bluish drop of water gently flew up, landing in front of Shen Ye.
Rows of tiny glowing words appeared:
"Designated race mark."
"Special marking object, bearer cannot escape."
"Description: You are designated, from now on, you will always be marked during battles."
"— This is a Truth Creation from which there is no escape."
Staring at the drop of water, Shen Ye couldn’t help but say:
"What exactly do you want to do?"
"All humans will be replaced by us," said the Primordial Demon.
The words echoed in Shen Ye’s ears like a thunderclap.
He couldn’t help but shudder, suddenly seeing everything clearly.
So that’s how it is!
When all of history ends, the Entropy Destruction Era arrives.
Ultimately, only one human will travel alone aboard the Other Shore Ship through the Entropy Destruction Era to reach the future!
So they want to beco human!
In other words—
They want to seize that spot!
But, can this really be done?
If they succeed, then will the "" on the Other Shore Ship be replaced?
Thoughts flooded Shen Ye’s mind.
Then he heard the Primordial Demon continue:
"We are revising the source and process of history, this project is extrely imnse, even we are struggling with it."
"Reproducing offspring, completely replacing humans, is fundantally achievable."
"But you powerful experints, however, are hard to replace directly."
"— Survival of the fittest."
"If you survive, I will offer you a chance to beco one of us."
"After all, your ability to obtain future intelligence is what I value."
"Refusal will certainly lead to death—"
"This cannot be doubted in the slightest."
With those words.
The Primordial Demon suddenly vanished.
Leaving only Shen Ye standing by the street.
Suddenly sensing sothing, he looked up at the sky.
A dense swarm of people—
The crowd fell like rain, filling the street, then quickly returning to their original positions.
New bartenders and custors stood in the bars.
There were people enjoying the cool air on the street.
Vehicles still drove by, with drivers and passengers inside.
But—
All of these people exuded a sinister aura.
A girl struggled to move her two feet as she passed by Shen Ye.
"Humans only have two feet. Walking with them is really awkward, isn’t it?"
The girl smiled at Shen Ye.
She suddenly stopped, her face darkening in an instant.
"Are you human?"
She asked.
Shen Ye looked at her, then followed her gaze to his side.
The bluish water drop.
The human mark.
— So in this world, he was the only true human?
"This is sothing the Primordial Demon entrusted to for safekeeping; I need to give it to soone later."
Shen Ye said.
The girl stared at him.
"I have other matters — you must know the Primordial Demon, right? Why don’t you take this, and give it to him later?" Shen Ye continued.
He reached out to grab the drop of water.
From the sky.
A grand voice suddenly rang out:
"In this Historical Fragnt, there is a primitive human—"
"Whoever kills him may advance by one rank."
