Chapter 157 - 152 Empty Way of Dependent Dharma

Chapter 157: Chapter 152 Empty Way of Dependent Dharma

This is a place detached from all concepts of time, space, and dimension, transcending the beginning and end, where all established rules cannot exist or intervene.

And only those entities can confirm their unique existence here.

Therefore, this is also a place where these entities gather and communicate.

Suddenly, there were concepts of time and space here, as well as the concept of sound, and an entity appeared, shining like an exploding star, illuminating everything.

Several entities followed suit and appeared.

Several voices also sliced through this illusory place like blades.

But this place remained illusory, with many concepts and rules unclear, and therefore, there was no need to distinguish anything.

Which voices said what was of no matter, knowing that there were entities conversing here was enough.

"Since the last instance ended, Blue Star has made six rotations, should we put the next instance on the agenda now?"

"Yes, indeed, who’s next?"

"No, please wait, before that, I have something to propose."

"The Seventh Rule? What do you have to say?"

"What I want to discuss relates to that human known as Xiao Yi on Blue Star."

"...Hmm!? Did someone mention Xiao Yi!?"

At that moment, a somewhat familiar voice was heard, unmistakably... it was Eve’s voice.

"Who mentioned him? You shouldn’t... wait, it seems someone did indeed bring him up, sigh... It’s all your fault for always bringing up Xiao Yi, now and then, I’m nearly suffering from PTSD."

Eve also realized Xiao Yi was brought up by the Seventh Rule and instantly went on guard.

"The Seventh Rule? What are your intentions?"

The Seventh Rule merely scoffed.

"A confined entity has no right to speak."

"...," Eve could only remain silent in response.

She had to admit that her actions last time were indeed a bit too contemptuous of the rules and therefore, she had been confined and strictly forbidden from intervening in the matters of Analog Horror.

"The Seventh Rule, continue, what are you saying?"

The Seventh Rule said, "Well then, let me explain in detail. You all must know what the First Rule did previously?"

"Um, we know. To actually show up in their true form, how audacious. Is this what a girl in love is like? Truly... nauseating."

"To go as far as erasing the existence of the sun, seriously, good thing we reacted promptly. If they had noticed, our plans would have been disrupted. There’s a limit to acting capriciously."

And Eve could only respond with a cold snort: "...Hmph!"

The Seventh Rule continued: "Although the instance created by the First Rule was done carelessly, with rules written on a whim, amounting to a severe dereliction of duty, that’s not the point. The point is, after cleaning up the mess they made, I suddenly discovered something of crucial importance!"

"Would you just get to the point? Fuck, I’ll kill you!"

"...," the Seventh Rule disdained to argue further and continued, "Because of the First Rule’s eccentric actions, I paid extra attention to that individual named Xiao Yi, but at that moment! I discovered that he... he actually possessed that incredibly dangerous power!"

"Incredibly dangerous power? Oh, you mean that ability he used in the special difficulty dungeon, which lasts for only three minutes, similar to Au** (self-censored) (self-censored) setting."

"That’s right," the Seventh Rule said. "That power is beyond our control and could have an immeasurable effect on our plans! Very dangerous! Thus, we must eradicate this unstable element!"

"Oh~ I see, that’s why you immediately started the special difficulty. So it was to assassinate Xiao Yi."

"What did you say!?" Upon hearing this, Eve’s killing intent surged instantly!

Because she had been confined, she had been unaware of the situation with Analog Horror, she couldn’t believe that the Seventh Rule dared to do such a thing!

However, there were other beings here, and despite Eve’s intense killing intent, she couldn’t lay a hand on anyone.

She could only question, "Who gave you permission to do this!? By what right do you act on your own!?"

And the Seventh Rule answered like this, "That’s why I was also confined."

"...Huh?" Eve was stunned.

"Pfft, hahaha~ Who would’ve thought that you, the Seventh Rule with your thick brows and stern face, would actually have a sense of humor, huh?"

The Seventh Rule continued, "Anyway, because I’m currently inconvenienced, I brought this matter up, hoping you would all erase Xiao Yi, to snuff out an unstable factor."

Hearing what the Seventh Rule said, Eve felt a little relieved, it seemed Xiao Yi had successfully weathered this crisis - as expected of him.

But now was not the time to be completely at ease. She had to see what the other beings thought.

And the response from the other beings was:

"Wow~ I see, indeed, your proposal is necessary, but I refuse! The reason is that while you intended to kill that Xiao Yi, you inadvertently forced out his power, which is kind of hilarious to me, so I can’t let this entertaining situation end just like that."

"I feel the same way. +1, me too. In fact, Xiao Yi has been quite helpful to our first-stage plans, so why should we eliminate him?"

"Hmm... it seems that everyone is quite against you, Seventh Rule."

"..." The Seventh Rule fell silent.

And Eve finally felt at ease.

"Well then, let’s continue. For the next instance, I hope it won’t be as lazily made as this one. Please increase the difficulty level of the world a bit more."

"Excuse me, and how exactly have I been lazy? I’ve properly buried a hidden clearing condition! Don’t talk nonsense! Careful, or I’ll sue you!"

"You’re going to sue me? Who dares to accuse me in this court?"

"... Forget it, then."

"Back to the main point, who’s responsible for the next dungeon world?"

"I’ll do it."

"Oh! You’re willing to step in? Wonderful, then I’ll leave it to you."

"Right, I’ll pay extra attention... but why mention increasing the world’s difficulty level specifically this time? That’s what concerns me."

"It’s nothing much... it’s just that those beings have come again."

Hearing this news, all beings had different reactions, but all were definitely affected.

"Those beings? Could it be... the Empty Way of Dependent Dharma again?"

"Exactly, those beings have been thwarting us countless times. This operation is far more significant than the previous ones, so this time, we must take it seriously. We can’t let the Empty Way of Dependent Dharma do as they please anymore, it’s just that..."

Another being continued, "It’s just that the Empty Way of Dependent Dharma is incredibly crafty. Once we take action ourselves, the Empty Way of Dependent Dharma would surely not dare to show up, and instead would just sneakily cause disgusting disruptions, annoying and revolting."

"That’s right, we can’t show ourselves, and only the highest and special difficulty levels can be established in relation to us. For other difficulties, even our shadows can’t contain it; they would burst instantly upon contact."

"I see, so we can only interact with the highest and special difficulty worlds, and the Dependent Dharma’s Empty Way wouldn’t dare to approach those worlds. But for the lower difficulty worlds, where we can’t act directly, we’d have to let the Empty Way of Dependent Dharma indulge in their whims?"

"Indeed, that’s the crux of the problem. So, I plan to make the next instance appear as a faux Nine Stars difficulty. That way, we can enter the dungeon world without being detected by the Empty Way of Dependent Dharma, even if that means killing ourselves an infinite number of times and weakening ourselves infinitely."

"Certainly, that does sound like a good plan. If we don’t act ourselves, it will likely be difficult to deal with the Dependent Dharma’s Empty Way. But there’s still one issue—who should go?"

"I’ll go!" Eve immediately spoke as soon as the words were out.
