Xingtetsu: You are not included in Elio's script!

The energy in the core area of ​​the Imaginary Tree was still flowing slowly. Lin Yu raised his hand and clenched it in the void.

He needs to tear open the passage to the ninth dimension, and he must stabilize the crack with the energy of rules; otherwise, the rampant high-dimensional energy will instantly devour everything around it.

Silver light patterns drew an arc in the void, as if the space had been sliced ​​open by a sharp blade, revealing the dark rifts inside.

The nine-dimensional energy surging from the rift carried a chilling aura.

"This energy..." Aha was about to get closer when he was repelled by an invisible force.

"Such strong corrosiveness! If I went in, I probably wouldn't last even three seconds."

Lin Yu frowned slightly as he sensed the energy fluctuations emanating from the crack.

"The energy density of the ninth dimension is tens of thousands of times that of this place, and it carries a repulsive force. Your bodies cannot withstand this repulsive force, and you will be torn apart if you go in."

He looked at everyone, his tone apologetic, "It seems that this time, I'll have to act alone again."

"Then you must be careful!" Lin Ruan clutched his clothes, her eyes red-rimmed.

Lin Yu nodded, "Don't worry, I can now mobilize the energy of the Imaginary Tree. Even if I encounter danger, I can retreat at any time. I will come back to find you after I deal with these monitors."

He took one last look at everyone, then turned and stepped into the rift in the ninth dimension.

The crack slowly closed behind him, and the warmth of the core area of ​​the Imaginary Tree was instantly replaced by darkness and cold.

This is the ninth dimension, with no sky, no ground, only endless darkness and floating silver fragments of rules, and a suffocating sense of oppression permeating the air.

As soon as he stood firm, Lin Yu felt countless cold gazes locked onto him.

He looked up and his heart skipped a beat.

Four or five hundred enormous bodies floated in the darkness, surrounding him completely.

These bodies consisted only of the upper body, and appeared to be carved from gray boulders, their surfaces covered with intricate patterns, the same material as the giant stone hand that had attacked him earlier.

Each body has a silver crystal embedded in its chest, and its eyes are empty black holes, constantly overflowing with cold energy.

"It seems I'm quite popular."

Lin Yu clenched his fist, and the energy of his destiny flowed slowly within his body, condensing into a thin shield of golden energy around him.

"As the host, don't you have any hospitality at all?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of all the stone statues suddenly lit up.

Countless silver laser beams shot out from the black hole, like a dense rain of arrows, heading towards Lin Yu.

Wherever the laser passed, tiny cracks appeared in space, and the surrounding debris was instantly evaporated.

Lin Yu's body instantly transformed into a blur, nimbly weaving through the gaps in the laser beams.

His speed was several times faster than before, and he precisely avoided the laser with each movement, leaving faint traces of energy patterns behind him.

"boom!"

Several laser beams that he couldn't dodge landed on the spot where he had just stood, exploding into a cloud of silver light mist in the darkness. The shockwave of the energy caused the surrounding space to shake violently.

Lin Yu landed on a floating fragment, looking at the stone statues around him that were tens of thousands of times larger than himself, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"It seems we have no choice but to go all out!"

He raised his hand towards the nearest stone statue, and a blade of light, capable of destroying one's destiny, condensed in his palm.

The black light blade, carrying the force to tear through space, shot towards the statue's chest.

"clang!"

The light blade struck the statue's body, producing a piercing scraping sound and sending gray stone chips flying. However, the statue only swayed slightly, and a light pattern appeared on the silver crystal on its chest, neutralizing the remaining destructive energy.

"It's harder than I expected."

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes and immediately adjusted his tactics.

He mobilized nothingness and destruction, intertwining energies.

The ethereal energy first landed on the statue's body, corroding the gray stone like strong acid. The patterns on its body began to fluctuate erratically. Then, the black light blade slashed out again, accurately landing on the corroded spot.

"Crack!"

This time, a huge gash was cut into the statue's body, and silver, rule-based energy gushed out from the opening.

The stone statue let out a muffled roar, and its massive body crashed down towards Lin Yu.

Lin Yu immediately activated his protective light shield and placed it in front of him as a precaution.

The statue's body crashed into the light shield, causing the shield to flicker violently and develop several cracks.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Yu mobilized abundant energy and injected it into the light shield.

Emerald energy spread along the cracks, instantly repairing the damage to the light shield.

"It's not over yet!" Lin Yu leaped into the air, and the golden patterns of the Order of Destiny condensed beneath his feet, forming a stable platform.

He stood on the platform, facing the surrounding stone statues, simultaneously manipulating the two destinies of hunting and balancing.

The hunting arrows condensed in his palm, each arrow carrying the attribute of balanced energy division, and shot towards different stone statues.

"Puff puff!"

The light arrow struck the silver crystal on the statue's chest precisely, causing chaotic light patterns to appear on the crystal's surface, and the statue's movements noticeably slowed down.

Lin Yu seized the opportunity, mobilized the Harmonious Fate Path, and condensed the surrounding fragments of rules into a band of light.

The light band, like a flexible whip, wrapped around the arms of more than a dozen stone statues, preventing them from launching an attack.

"It needs cleaning up."

Lin Yu took a deep breath and activated the two paths of destiny: End and Origin.

The ultimate energy and the origin energy intertwined around him, forming a spiral of light.

"Destroy! Live!"

The beam of light shot toward the entangled statue. Wherever it passed, the statue's body began to rapidly disintegrate. The gray stone turned into dust, and the silver crystals gradually lost their luster, eventually shattering into powder.

The dozen or so stone statues were dealt with in an instant, and the oppressive feeling around them lessened slightly, but the remaining hundreds of stone statues became even more ferocious.

Their eyes shone with an even brighter silver light, the crystals on their chests began to resonate, and countless streams of rule energy condensed in the darkness, forming a huge silver light net that enveloped Lin Yu.

Lin Yu used the energy of the rules to point at the light net.

The silver energy collided with the light net, instantly creating a huge opening in the net, and the energy rules began to become disordered.

He took the opportunity to pass through the net of light and landed on the shoulder of a stone statue.

This statue is larger than the others, with a golden crystal on its chest and more complex regular patterns on its surface, clearly indicating that it is the leader.

"Leader?" Lin Yu sneered, mobilizing his memories and destiny to probe the golden crystal.

Energy seeped into the crystal, and countless images flooded his mind.

These stone statues are all enforcers of the rules of the nine-dimensional space. The leader of the golden crystal judges can absorb the energy of destiny and transform it into his own attacks.

"Absorb the energy of destiny?" Lin Yu immediately withdrew his memory energy and simultaneously mobilized his mystic powers, condensing an illusion around his body.

Countless clones of Lin Yu appeared in the darkness, rushing towards different stone statues and disrupting their vision.

The leader let out a roar, and the golden crystal shone with a dazzling light, with a powerful suction force emanating from it.

The surrounding clones were instantly sucked apart, and even Lin Yu's main body's energy began to become disordered.

"not good!"

Lin Yu manipulated the laws of destiny to stabilize the energy fluctuations within his body and block the influence of the suction force.

He seized the opportunity to jump onto the head of another stone statue, channeling his pure energy onto the leader's golden crystal. The crystal's brilliance dimmed instantly, and its suction power weakened considerably.

It's now!

As Lin Yu activated his Immortal Fate, he charged toward the leader of the Judges, and then mobilized the Gluttonous Ones.

Lin Yu faced the leader's golden crystal and absorbed its rule energy in reverse.

"Roar!"

The leader flew into a rage and swung his massive arm toward Lin Yu.

Lin Yu nimbly dodged, increasing his speed once again, and circled around to the leader's back.

"combine!"

The energies of the end and the origin merge in the palm, forming a black and white interwoven blade of light. This is the ultimate combination of two destinies, capable of both dissolving existence and reversing energy, perfectly countering the leader's absorption ability.

"Shatter!" Lin Yu plunged the light blade into the leader's golden crystal.

The crystal emitted a piercing cracking sound, golden rule energy surged wildly, the leader's body began to collapse rapidly, and gray stones fell like raindrops.

With the leader dealt with, the remaining statues became chaotic.

Lin Yu seized the opportunity and began to clean them up one by one.

He uses nothingness to corrode stone, destruction to destroy crystals, preservation to defend against attacks, abundance to repair himself, hunting to strike precisely, and harmony to disrupt actions.

He skillfully switched between 20 different destinies, using each one in the most appropriate way.

The battle lasted for nearly an hour, and the number of stone statues in the darkness dwindled.

Lin Yu's breathing became somewhat rapid, and nearly 90% of the life force energy in his body had been consumed, but his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

He became increasingly adept at controlling his destiny, and his new abilities after his upgrade continued to take effect.

He can replenish himself by drawing energy from the Tree of Imaginary Numbers at any time, perceive the weaknesses of every living being, and even slightly modify the local rules of the nine-dimensional space to create favorable conditions for himself.

The last stone statue turned to dust as the final energy dissipated, and peace was finally restored in the darkness.

Lin Yu landed on a huge fragment, mobilizing abundant energy to repair his minor injuries. At the same time, he sensed the energy fluctuations in the nine-dimensional space, confirming that there were no remaining enemies or new threats approaching.

He raised his hand and clenched it in the void, and the energy of the rules condensed again, opening a crack leading to the Tree of Imaginary Numbers.

Aha's anxious voice came from the crack, "Lin Yu! How are you? Why haven't we heard from you for so long?"

"It's alright, it's resolved."

Lin Yu smiled at the crack, "Most of them are ordinary monitors, and there was also a leader, but I've already defeated him. The energy in the nine-dimensional space is too violent, so you still can't come in. I'll go back and meet up with you first, and then we'll discuss the next step."

He turned and stepped into the crevice, the nine-dimensional space behind him gradually being swallowed by darkness.

Aha leaned closer to look at him. "Are you alright? You look a little pale. Did you have a hard time fighting?"

Lin Yu shook his head and said with a smile, "It's alright, it's just that the energy consumption was a bit high, but this battle has made me more proficient in controlling and understanding my destiny."

"Furthermore, I discovered that although there are many observers in the ninth dimension, their weaknesses are also obvious. Their cores are all in the crystals in their chests. As long as the crystals are destroyed, they can be easily dealt with."

"Very good, these monitors have been dealt with, and we no longer need to worry about their threat, but..."

At this moment, the data stream rapidly refreshed the images one after another.

In the center of the image, a huge dark purple energy vortex is slowly shrinking. The phantom of the Last King can be vaguely seen at the center of the vortex. The surrounding space seems to be pulled by an invisible force, and countless planets are gathering towards the vortex.

Even more terrifying, more than thirty black holes have sprung up around the vortex, each of them frantically devouring everything around them, not even light can escape. One of the black holes has already swallowed half of the outer starship wreckage of the "Immortal Ship Luofu".

"The Last King has initiated the Final Convergence!"

"The cosmic region centered on Him is rapidly condensing, with energy density increasing by 17% per hour. It is expected to reach a critical value in 24 hours, triggering a massive explosion across the entire universe. These proliferating black holes are essentially products of excessive compression of end-energy, which will accelerate energy aggregation. Currently, a new black hole is being created every ten minutes."

"The Big Bang?" March 7's face turned deathly pale. "Then...we're out of time?"

Lin Ruan gripped Lin Yu's clothes tightly, her eyes red-rimmed, but she held back her tears: "Dad, can we stop it? There's still a way, right?"

Lin Yu's expression also darkened. He could sense that the energy of the Last King contained a trace of fluctuation that did not belong to the end. That was... the energy of the nine-dimensional rules.

"Master Bo Shi, analyze the abnormal fluctuations in the energy of the Last King!" Lin Yu's voice was urgent. "I sense that His final convergence is being driven by the rule energy of the Monitor!"

Bo Shizun's data stream immediately focused on the edge of the vortex, and the analysis lines quickly swept across the screen.

"Nine-dimensional rule energy residue detected! It accounts for 12%, and its function is to strengthen the stability of the final aggregation and prevent external energy interference. Conclusion: The Monitor and the Last King have reached a temporary cooperation. The Monitor provides rule energy to accelerate the finality, and the Last King promises that after the universe restarts, the Monitor will control the new rule system."

"These lunatics!" Aha's voice instantly turned shrill. "They want to control the rules on one hand, and destroy the universe on the other, and they can actually cooperate?"

Walter adjusted his glasses, his gaze behind the lenses becoming serious. "It's normal. For them, achieving their goals is more important than having the same ideals. The Last King wants to complete the End, and the Watchers want to use the End to reshape the rules, so they temporarily joined forces. However, this cooperation is very fragile. As long as we break the support of one side, the alliance will have a flaw."

As soon as Walter finished speaking, the data stream projected by Bo Shizun instantly magnified.

"The current coordinates of the Last King have been located in the core area of ​​the End Era - 001, which is situated at the gravitational critical point of the outer space of the Imaginary Tree. It is surrounded by 37 growing black holes, forming a natural energy barrier."

The data stream quickly refreshed to display a detailed route map, with three dense obstacle zones marked in red.

"There are three lines of defense along the way, all equipped with energy cannons that can directly penetrate the shields of ordinary starships. 1000 kilometers from the core area, there are rule traps left by the monitors that will distort spatial coordinates and mislead the direction of travel."

"A rule trap?" Lin Yu frowned. "I can sense the fluctuations of rule energy. I can use the rule destiny to break it, but I need someone to help me stabilize the space."

"I'll help you!" Dan Heng stepped forward. "With my combined energy of rules, we should be able to break through the trap quickly."

Aha clenched his fist, "Leave those little bastards to me and Huang Quan! We'll clear the way!"

Huang Quan nodded, "No problem, as long as they dare to show themselves, I can crush them."

Others also began to assign tasks to themselves.

“Everyone has their assigned tasks, let’s set off now!” Lin Yu took a deep breath. “Master Boshi, please monitor the progress of the final king’s aggregation in real time. If there are any abnormalities, notify us immediately.”

"Current countdown: 22 hours and 18 minutes." In Boshizun's data stream, the red countdown numbers kept jumping, "The real-time image of the core area has been synchronized to the train navigation system. We wish you all... success in breaking the deadlock."
