Chapter 639 The Venerable One About to Awaken (2)
Ye Kai tried to directly access Xiao Zhao's memories.
But the instant he touched the top of her head, he suddenly felt a powerful force staring at him.
[Whoosh...]
The familiar snoring sound came from the soul.
He was petrified, unable to even lift his head!
A gigantic phantom of Arceus appeared above the two of them at some unknown time.
Could this little photo... be the divine vessel of an alpaca?!
Then, one torii gate after another appeared.
Each torii gate reflects Ye Kai's future.
Even if you don't go forward.
He could clearly see the information just by scanning with his senses.
The door frame marked with the letter D and an unknown totem.
Ye Kai is traversing various planes and, soon after, finally collects all the stone tablets.
“VVVVIVIVIOOO!!!!”
Then the awakened white jade unicorn glanced meaningfully at Ye Kai, who was peering at this "future" outside the torii gate.
[Traveler...your journey is coming to an end.]
All 18 stone slabs disappeared into Arceus's body.
A Möbius strip formed an infinite halo, emitting divine light from behind it!
This was a completely new form he had never seen before.
Is it super evolution?!
Or is it Dynamax?!
No, neither!
But then, divine light shone, and in an instant, everything was enveloped in white.
Then, all concepts of time, space, causality, and logic in that future came to a standstill.
Even the torii gate itself seemed to vanish into a dreamlike illusion, becoming blurred and indistinct.
[Give up... The Venerable One once said, "A dragon that soars too high will regret it... Ye Kai, you should know when to quit while you're ahead..."]
Just then, a woman who looked very similar to him separated from Ye Kai's body.
This separation process felt like it was tearing his soul apart!
Her appearance is somewhere between Ye Lei and Ye Kai; you could say she's a female version of him...
The woman had white hair and a beauty mark at the corner of her eye; she looked at him with pity.
His eyes were pitch black, without a trace of white, which was extremely eerie.
[Who are you really? An incarnation of Arceus, or a human form residing in a divine embryo?]
When asked about his question, the other person simply smiled and looked at him without offering an answer.
[I know you won't give up, whether through a simple and direct method or a roundabout approach... but the outcome won't change.]
[If you don't believe me, you might as well look at a few more doors.]
As she spoke, the mysterious woman raised her hand and pointed to Gate E.
All I could see was that torii gate.
This time, the "protagonist" is no longer his physical body, but a female body.
In that timeline, Ye Kai's original body died.
Fortunately, the female body survived.
As a result, he survived by relying on the female persona, and after spending more effort, he still managed to climb to the top.
Then it was time to search for the Phoenix and Lugia again.
Ultimately, the phoenix was sacrificed, and Celebi was found again in the Cypress Forest...
Further on.
The female body traversed several planes, constantly accumulating strength and tirelessly searching for traces of alpacas.
Finally, after collecting all the stone tablets, she saw Arceus awakening in the womb of the gods.
[Traveler...your journey...is coming to an end.]
The alpaca uttered the exact same words, and inside Gate F, all was white...
The woman looked at Ye Kai and lifted his immobile chin.
Then, he used his thumb to stroke Ye Kai's soft lips.
[I know that given your personality, you probably won't be satisfied, right?]
[Then why don't we take another look?]
As she spoke, she looked around and gazed at the torii gate marked with a "G" in the endless starry sky.
Following her senses, Ye Kai's will was forcibly drawn into the torii gate...
In this worldline, the stone tablet does not exist.
Arceus is the evolution of the silver half-warbeast.
However... the conditions for evolution are extremely demanding!
You need to defeat the "King" Pokémon of the corresponding type!
Logically speaking, this is almost impossible.
Because the "King" is extremely powerful.
It can be said to be the strongest pinnacle among single attributes, and is a "lucky omen" recognized by the laws of the natural energy of heaven and earth.
They have no divine authority.
Its strength is comparable to, or even surpasses, the legendary Scourge!
But even with such stringent conditions, Ye Kai from that timeline still managed to meet them!
That "Ye Kai" had a very humble background and no wealthy family connections.
Even when he time-traveled, he was a blond-haired boy who had dropped out of school and hadn't even finished high school.
My starter Pokémon was a "Pseudo-Mantis" borrowed from my girlfriend.
Why should we repay what we borrowed based on our own merit?
So Ye Kai began his journey with this "Grass-type Mantis", constantly seizing and using every means to become stronger!
Countless years have passed.
He finally defeated the "Kings" of several planes using the "Cataclysmic Legion".
These auspicious creatures were first brought to the brink of death, and then the silver half-beasts that had been prepared beforehand were used to finish them off.
The 18th beam of evolution finally appeared!
As the light faded, the final fire alpaca appeared before Ye Kai.
[Hahaha!! I did it! I finally collected all the alpaca clones!!]
Overjoyed, he took out the remaining 17 Master Balls, and the 18 alpaca clones gathered together.
[Finally, your wish has come true? Tell me, this world is so similar!]
[Arceus! Tell me, who is the strongest trainer?!]
"VIVIV!!!"
The 18 alpaca clones merely looked at "Ye Kai" with pity.
[...Your journey...is coming to an end.]
As the light of various attributes shot into the sky, it illuminated everything!
The world was shrouded in white, and the world of G Gate was plunged into chaos.
Having seen several possible future scenarios, Ye Kai's brain was currently processing an enormous amount of information.
Of course, it's not just a massive amount of information; this information also contains the immense divine power of Arceus!
Almost every alpaca avatar in his memory world was something he couldn't look at directly; their divine power impacted his soul and body, causing him indescribable discomfort throughout his body!
"Well!!"
Ye Kai seemed to wake from a dream, abruptly removing the hand that was stroking Xiao Zhao's head, and then teleported away.
Xiao Zhao, as if manipulated by another mysterious personality, stared in the direction he left.
……
After leaving the continent where Xiao Zhao was located, he felt uneasy.
If A, B, C, D, E... these torii gates represent his different futures.
Doesn't that mean that in this world, there is only one supreme being?!
Why does his journey end when he collects all the stone tablets?!
This must be a trick, an illusion designed to hinder his actions?
But Ye Kai soon fell into deeper doubts.
His aura actually increased again from over level 240.
And this time he reached level 252 in one go, only 3 levels away from the sky-high, unattainable level 255 that the alpaca clone had seen before!
Does this mean that the pressure increases by one level with each door you look at?
I don't know why he had this thought.
Collecting all the stone tablets is a trap; once you collect them all, everything will disappear...
Isn't there a way to break this deadlock?
Ha... there must be a solution, there must be!!
He has faced countless dangers along the way, and looking back, every time he has faced death.
What's the use of just thinking? You have to do it and put it into practice to see results.
……
After leaving the inner world, he quietly infiltrated Longmen Mountain.
Inside the heavily sealed Taijing Stone Wall in the Ninth District, they found Sun Wanzhong, who looked ashen.
[Who are you?]
The look of surprise was already visible on Old Sun's wrinkled face.
How could someone with no aura of power move freely under his level 128 aura, and even give him an unfathomable and extremely eerie feeling?!
There's only one possibility!
The strength of the person before me is unfathomable!
“Old man, you’re quite formidable. You’re barely passable. Let me tell you… my true pressure level is 252.”
Level 252?!
The veteran champion could understand each word individually, but why was it so abstract and difficult to understand when they were put together?
What is your purpose?
[It's simple, hand over the Talebags... Of course, not by force, a trade is perfectly acceptable.]
As he spoke, he took out two pieces of purple, donut-shaped rice cakes.
What is this?
Sun Wanzhong was so weak that he could barely move a finger. With IV tubes inserted all over his body, he looked like a skeleton covered in skin and bones.
[Of course, it's a magical object that can restore youth and reverse aging.]
[So, should we change it or not?]
……
About ten minutes later, Ye Kai left Longmen Mountain.
He soon returned and went back to the stone chamber where Sun Wanzhong was.
Old Deng said he would think about it, and for a moment he didn't trust this mysterious man.
But Ye Kai's idea was to catch some "guinea pigs" to verify the efficacy of the poisoned rice cake.
As a result, he found four or five old men from the infinite inner space.
These people include both men and women.
There were even old, dying elves who had difficulty moving.
These experimental subjects share common characteristics.
That is an extreme desire to live, a desire to return to the way one was when one was young.
[Watch closely.]
With a meaningful gesture, Ye Kai handed the poisoned rice cake to these people to share.
"Thank you, High Priest, for the Holy Communion!"
"Thank you for your blessing, Your Excellency!!"
These people thanked them profusely and slowly finished eating all the rice cakes.
The result was unbelievable, leaving Sun Wanzhong speechless on the spot!
These guys were first poisoned, and then their brains were the first to be affected.
Unknown retroviruses begin to be produced from brain cells in the brain, and then begin to repair cell metabolism.
The intense cellular metabolism made them so thirsty that they started drinking water like crazy!
soon.
After replenishing their fluid intake, these people rejuvenated and regained their youthful appearance.
Even the gray hair and wrinkles on his face disappeared.
Both the bone and muscle are newly grown!
Such miraculous effects naturally captivated Sun Wanzhong!
[So, all I want is the Talebages; I'm not interested in anything else.]
[What if I refuse?]
[Then I'll have no choice but to kill you.]
Ye Kai smiled and absorbed any of these rejuvenated spirits into his body space.
This action was so bizarre that Sun Wanzhong initially thought his ability was to create a black hole, instantly annihilating everyone!
[Alright, I'll make this deal with you, but I need your goods first.]
[Can……]
Ye Kai didn't care about the order of events.
Even if Old Deng recovers to his peak strength.
In his eyes now, they are still ants, which can be exploded into blood mist and compressed into two-dimensional foil pieces in an instant.
After all that trouble...
After replenishing his fluids, Suan Wanzhong finally regained his youth.
However, the dragon's essence lost over the long years could not be generated out of thin air. Instead, large chunks of toxic crystals were formed within its body.
Old Deng's will to survive was so strong that it caused a mutation, and his aura even broke through level 130 in one go!
[I kept my word; this guy is yours now.]
He summoned the taelbagh, who was resting in the stone chamber, and handed him over to Yekai.
The old tortoise, whose entire body was made of star crystals, looked at him with fear.
This person exuded no aura of authority whatsoever, completely beyond my perception!
But how could that be possible?
This only proves that this man is incredibly strong, terrifyingly so!
Sun Wanzhong also dared not make any rash moves.
This person claims to be level 252. If that's true, then destroying Terra Star probably wouldn't take him much effort...
After all, his previous pressure perception of 128 was enough to cover half the sphere, and his spirit could move freely and issue commands within the vast territory of the Dragon Kingdom.
Not to mention the mysterious man in front of them.
As for Ye Kai...
He had already accomplished the destruction of worlds several times before, which was quite boring, so he had no intention of going on a killing spree.
On the contrary, I remembered some interesting things...
……
……
About three months later.
People may change their habits and their experiences.
However, some inexplicable bonds are difficult to change overnight.
Rumors about Tianwang Longjian having a lover have been circulating.
Meanwhile, Ye Kai and Liu Jing from this world have already gotten together and are deeply in love, practically inseparable and wanting to be together every day.
After meeting Ye Kai, she felt incredibly foolish.
Looking back on those years, it feels like I've wasted my life.
Training, combat, missions... it could be said that although he traveled all over the world, he was constantly killing until he was told that his life was coming to an end.
"I have a gift for you."
"Heh, I wouldn't be interested in ordinary gifts."
She was touched, thinking that Ye Kai was going to propose to her.
But at the same time, I'm also a little worried.
He's just the kind of woman I like; it's hard not to suspect how many women he's been with!
But Ye Kai never looks at electronic devices like mobile phones, so even if Liu Jing wanted to investigate, she couldn't find anything.
The alliance's information network could not find a single piece of information about this person.
On the contrary, there was a kid with the same name as him who looked six or seven parts similar, but he was still just a student, so she didn't find him very interesting.
"Don't worry, I guarantee you'll be satisfied..."
"Oh!"
Ye Kai unleashed a giant dragon over 30 meters tall, its entire body radiating golden light!
Is this a "king"?!
Old Dragon, a being that grows stronger with age!
These ancient dragons are extremely rare, living only in deep mountains above 5000 meters in altitude, and are often found to be over a thousand years old...
Liu Jing was deeply moved.
Unexpectedly, the other party was so considerate, even finding a way to prolong her life.
The old dragon is indeed a good choice; living as an old dragon from now on would be...
"This old dragon is no ordinary king; watch it closely."
The next moment, the old dragon resonated with Ye Kai's soul, and its whole body was enveloped in the super-evolved rainbow light.
Then his body shape changed again!
The old dragon's originally hunched neck stood up high, its entire body enveloped in a raging black and gold thundercloud.
Super evolution?!
Can an old dragon really evolve into a Mega Evolution?!
"Come back!"
Ye Kai retrieved the old dragon into the Advanced Ball and then handed it to her.
"I've already given the Super Stone to the old dragon to carry with him. You should be able to become good friends with it soon..."
Liu Jing rushed into his arms and pressed her fragrant lips to his.
What a greedy woman, taking both food and money!
"Waaah..."
The two hugged and kissed for a while, and Ye Kai then sent another string of information into her mind.
So much so that she lost interest due to the shocking information.
"You little rascal, you even know the whereabouts of the Ice Dragon King?!"
"What's the rush? I'll catch him in no time. Let's continue..."
Given Ye Kai's current mindset, collecting the remaining alpaca slabs shouldn't be a problem.
But how should we face Arceus?
Perhaps only Liu Jing, who also faced a life-or-death crisis, could offer him some enlightenment.
That's why he contacted her again.
