Chapter 187: Chapter 182: Dream Butterfly Reappears

"Dependent Dharma...Empty Way?"

Unlike the previous terms, Xiao Yi couldn’t comprehend this one at all.

It seemed as though four unrelated characters were forcefully stitched together.

So, Xiao Yi asked, "Empty Way of Dependent Dharma? What does that mean?"

"That is a slightly more complex concept," Eve said. "All you need to know is that it exists everywhere, even beyond the infinity of infinities. It dominates everything with a posture that rigidly enforces the compliance of all things with its laws, much like the constants and principles you must abide by in everyday life."

"Oh...Oh." Xiao Yi still didn’t understand.

But there was one thing Xiao Yi could grasp, and that was...

"Are you saying that this Empty Way of Dependent Dharma is even more formidable than whatever Fake God I encountered before?" Xiao Yi asked.

"Yes, that’s right," Eve replied. "They’re not on the same level at all. There’s a huge gap."

"I see, I completely understand now," Xiao Yi nodded thoughtfully.

Watching Xiao Yi’s reaction, Eve couldn’t help but doubt, "Do you really understand?"

"Sure, of course," Xiao Yi said confidently. "Put simply, superpowers are a person’s abilities, but no matter how strong personal abilities are, they still bow down to reality. And reality shatters upon contact with rules. I’ve seen many cases where rules were used to invert right and wrong, and even more where rules were arbitrarily rewritten. So, it’s normal for reality to be no match for rules. You see, isn’t that quite simple?"

"This..." Eve hadn’t expected it to be understood in that way.

But Xiao Yi’s understanding was not wrong, so she hesitantly nodded, "If you understand it this way, it’s not so bad to see the different levels of realms."

"That should settle it," Xiao Yi then asked, "By the way, if I encounter the Empty Way of Dependent Dharma someday, what should I do?"

Xiao Yi wanted to inquire about specific strategies regarding the Empty Way of Dependent Dharma, hoping to have some way to cope if he ever faced it.

Eve simply replied, "Do nothing."

"Do nothing? Is that even possible?"

"Yes, do nothing," Eve said with a grave expression, "because if you really encounter the Empty Way of Dependent Dharma, it’s all the same. In the face of absolute power, any effort is meaningless."

"...Huh? Doesn’t that mean I can only wait for death?"

"No worries, I’m here!" Eve patted her small chest. "I will protect you!"

"...You?" Xiao Yi looked down at Eve, wondering if this tiny ’mother’ who wasn’t even as tall as his seated height was serious.

So, Xiao Yi, with high emotional intelligence, asked:

"Uh...but didn’t you say that the Empty Way of Dependent Dharma is already the strongest within the system? Are you at the same level?"

"No..." Eve shook her head, "I am an existence that transcends the whole system, above it. However, even so, the Empty Way of Dependent Dharma is still a very troublesome existence for us, which is why I appeared here. Xiao Yi, you understand now what the Empty Way of Dependent Dharma is, yes? Let me ask once more, would you choose to stay away from such a dangerous existence with me?"

"I don’t think it’s necessary to just run away, so I refuse," Xiao Yi shook his head.

"Is that so?" Eve sighed. "If that’s your choice...alright then."

Although Xiao Yi had refused once again, he still didn’t quite understand what the Empty Way of Dependent Dharma really was.

For Xiao Yi, comparison was the most straightforward approach.

Fake God > Self, and Empty Way of Dependent Dharma > Fake God, which meant Empty Way of Dependent Dharma > Self.

However, Xiao Yi wasn’t daunted by the Empty Way of Dependent Dharma.

Because if Fake God > Self and also Empty Way of Dependent Dharma > Self, then it implies Empty Way of Dependent Dharma = Fake God.

Xiao Yi felt this logic was sound, and after all, he had solved the issue of the Fake God. As for the Empty Way of Dependent Dharma, with a similar approach and a bit more effort, it wouldn’t be unsolvable.

And besides, Eve was right beside him; since she said she had a way to deal with the Empty Way of Dependent Dharma, there was even less to worry about.

Then, Eve suddenly said, "However, I can’t always be by your side, can’t always protect you."

Xiao Yi: "...Ah?"

Eve continued, "Although we’ve decided to seriously deal with the Empty Way of Dependent Dharma from now on, to be constantly vigilant in each instance of Analog Horror, and to take immediate action upon discovering the presence of Dependent Dharma, and with so many Chosen Ones, each constructing a different world, the likelihood of you getting hurt is not high, but that doesn’t mean it’s absolutely safe."

Eve then began searching her person.

"Fortunately, you, Xiao Yi, possess something special. I’ve heard...you briefly used a 5S-Level Talent once, right?"

"...Is that so?" Xiao Yi questioned with confusion. "I did?"

"Within the entire system, the Empty Way of Dependent Dharma and 5S-Level are parallel. However, what we call 5S is just a convenience we created. In reality, your ability has transcended the entire system. It’s not merely 5S, but can only be displayed as 5S. We never expected a human being to break this limit."

Eve finally took something out from on her; it was...a ring.

"What is this?" Xiao Yi looked at the ring in confusion.

"...Dream Butterfly."

Eve uttered this name.

"Besides the level of the realm, the talent system also possesses the concept of categories. Different categories of talents can advance to higher realm talents within the same category. However, their upper and lower limits differ. For example, the upper limit of the Religious God System is 3S-Level, with the lower limit being A-Level. To advance to a higher level, one has to switch categories and start over with another talent, an extremely difficult feat since one’s talent has solidified."

"The ability system you belong to is the most special, approaching the Origin closest to us. That’s why it can exceed the entire system’s upper limit."

"And then, this is the most peculiar ability within that system—’Dream Butterfly.’ It took considerable effort, even for me, to finally obtain a ’Dream Butterfly,’ encase it in this ring, and adjust it as much as I could to ensure it would draw upon a higher level talent."

Having said that, Eve handed the ring to Xiao Yi.

"Xiao Yi, I know that with this, it is still difficult for you to acquire that transcendent ability again, but I hope this offers you a bit more ability to protect yourself when facing insurmountable dangers. So, when you encounter such threats, don’t hesitate, use it immediately!"
