Elsewhere.
The real world.
Shen Ye was still gazing into the void.
The Eternal Brain laid everything about itself bare, like God, like the Great Dao, compassionately explaining everything.
Gradually, Shen Ye began to struggle to understand.
So he did one thing.
"Activate the Emperor Species bloodline, increasing all attributes by 200 points."
"Invest all 200 free attribute points in resonance, bringing total resonance to 700."
The Eternal Brain's secrets suddenly became clear.
Some... corrupted parts had gradually expanded over the long years and developed self-awareness.
They were eroding and changing the Eternal Brain.
This was where the monsters came from.
But there was far more to it than that...
Shen Ye was about to continue investigating when a sudden pain shot through his palm.
All the visions from resonance vanished.
He abruptly came to his senses.
Looking down, he saw a line of blood on his palm.
This was...
A warning from Fate Divination.
What happened?
He looked a short distance away.
The girl was punching with all her strength, striking the immobilized Demon King.
Time to end this.
Shen Ye walked forward, pulled the Bone Blade from the ground, and swung it lightly at the Demon King.
"Damn you. We'll remember you."
The Demon King spat out those vicious words, and its body split in two and fell to the ground.
The battle was over.
The girl froze for a moment, then turned to look at Shen Ye.
"Time is money, my friend."
Shen Ye sheathed the Bone Blade, stared at the corpse on the ground, then looked into the depths of the darkness.
Strange.
Nothing out of the ordinary.
Where exactly did things go wrong?
The girl fell silent for a moment, then took out her phone and dialed a number.
"Hello? Are you finished over there?"
