Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

"Alright, I won't kill Shen Ye anymore, so take back those words now, it's a bad look."

"I refuse," Song Yinchen said.

But see, with a flash of the whip—

The stele shattered instantly.

The contract that had lasted for thousands of years, from this moment on, ceased to exist.

"You no longer look like a Divine Artifact, nor are you loyal to me,"

"From now on, you and I go our separate ways,"

Song Yinchen said coldly.

"...for the sake of a mere human male? Do you know how many in the Myriad Worlds wish to possess me?" roared the Chaos Spirit Light.

Song Yinchen's voice grew colder:

"What does that have to do with me? Or perhaps you want to kill me? But what reason do you have? Have I too been taken over by parasites, or possessed?"

The Chaos Spirit Light opened its mouth: "Get this straight, if it weren't for me saving you—"

Song Yinchen directly interrupted it:

"You watched indifferently as the Song Family declined and withered for decades. I've been tormented for over ten years; what have you done?"

"You've done nothing."

"It was Shen Ye who saved my life, and yet you still plot to kill him."

"You are unworthy of being called our Song Family's Divine Artifact."

"For the grace of a drop of water, one should repay with a spring.——"

"I, Song Yinchen, am not ungrateful, but unfortunately, you have never once helped me, and in the end, you even want to kill the one who saved me."

"That is all I have to say."

"Now leave!"

Once her speech was finished,

The "name" of "Holder of the Chaos Spirit Light" above her head gradually disappeared,

Instead, a new "name" emerged above the Chaos Spirit Light—

"Disloyal Divine Artifact."

Song Yinchen glanced at it and said indifferently:

"Perhaps you wish to kill me? That's also possible."

She drew upon her strength—

And the Dharma Realm silently appeared.

At this moment,

The Dharma Realm was called upon specifically to witness this event.

Moreover, the sky was dense with the boundless expanse of the stars.

"The historical documents passed down in our Song Family mention that if a Divine Artifact kills its master, it shall be named 'Ominous Artifact of Regicide,'"

"And I will invoke the power of the universe to place upon you an additional curse."

"Wherever you go, your deeds shall be known to all existing things."

"Come, kill me—"

"But let me state in advance that I will resist."

As Song Yinchen finished speaking, the Spell Seals formed in her hands.

Complex and gorgeous auroras quietly emerged, forming an ever-changing Chaos Dharma Form behind her.

With this Dharma Form, she could channel the Cosmic Origin Force, nurturing any Divine Artifact.

Unfortunately,

She would no longer help the Chaos Spirit Light.

The Chaos Spirit Light wavered in mid-air, sometimes attempting to strike, sometimes retreating.

Regicide...

This "name" was to be witnessed by the universe,

Bearing it forever.

Was it truly to be this way?

"Hmph, watch as I break apart this world, causing all of you to perish," the Chaos Spirit Light shouted.

"Go ahead and break it now—if it's so easy, as you keep claiming, you coward," Song Yinchen said coldly.

"You truly aren't afraid of human extinction?" the Chaos Spirit Light inquired.

"My entire family is already gone; it's merely a matter of a few more people dying," said Song Yinchen.

"...Yinchen, you'll regret losing me in the future."

After speaking, the Chaos Spirit Light flew away,

Leaving the Song Family behind, its destination unknown.

But the world did not collapse.

In fact, besides it, there were other Divine Artifacts in the world.

If it did such a thing, the planet would surely face destruction, but it would also draw the ire of several Divine Artifacts of the same level.

And there was Xu Xingke,

So long as Xu Xingke lived, one could easily imagine—

This pursuit would continue until the very moment the universe ended.

What started as "killing a human boy to provoke her" turned into "facing the danger of one's own survival."

The Chaos Spirit Light, which had lived for countless years, from this moment on, dared not be careless.

As for Song Yinchen—

Song Yinchen was no longer concerned with this matter.

She walked out of the collapsed house, refusing any subordinates' company, changed to a different dwelling, went inside, and shut the door.

After a while,

The sound of the guqin played once again.

Her emotions gradually calmed down.

She had finally done it,

—This was the best way to protect Shen Ye.

The contract no longer existed.

If the Chaos Spirit Light killed Shen Ye, it would gain nothing and would incur Xu Xingke's revenge.

Xu Xingke...

This famously powerful individual would surely kill it, even if it took ten thousand years!

The Chaos Spirit Light, while not possessing human thinking, was not stupid.

It would not partake in affairs with no benefit whatsoever.

As for herself—

Song Yinchen's fingers continued to vibrate the strings of the guqin.

Wisps of nebular illusions cascaded from the void, enshrouding her in a luminous haze.

She started to resonate deeply with the universe's origin power.

"The Chaos Spirit Light... indispensable, it's the artifact that stitches the world, so not to be trifled with lightly,"

Xu Xingke's words.

What could she do then?

Song Yinchen thought for a moment and a thought took shape in her mind.

Who said there can only be one Chaos Spirit Light in the world?

Since it came from the universe,

And longed for the power within her,

—Why not create a Chaos Spirit Light herself?

Song Yinchen raised her hands, beginning to draw upon the most fundamental force of the universe, turning it into a dazzling display of lights.

...

Hell.

Cannon Branding Castle.

General Tazweil scrutinized Shen Ye,

Since ancient times, only those faithful to the God of the Undead would collect bones for the divine spirit!

It seemed that this Sang Biao was indeed a devout believer.

"My lord, I will go look for the bones now; they are very important to me,"

Shen Ye bowed and expressed his thanks.

Success!

Thanks to the groundwork laid by the "brothers" before him, the newly appointed general did not make things difficult for him.

General Tazweil nodded, hesitated for a moment, then spoke:
