Your Talent is Mine

TL: Etude

Just after emerging from the Saber Realm, Ye Tian received a message from Tian Pavilion.

Without delay, Ye Tian returned to Tianlan Giant City.

At the headquarters of Tian Pavilion.

Ye Tian immediately went to see his wife, Xiao Yue, and his sister, Ye Yu.

“Yue’er, is what you mentioned earlier true?” Ye Tian asked.

“It is true!” Xiao Yue replied solemnly. “During the time you were cultivating in the Saber Realm, some Universal Gods and Dominators of the Human Race seemed to have gone somewhere. Many of them died, and shortly afterward, strange creatures appeared in several star fields of the Human Race. Although they were quickly suppressed and killed, they still caused significant losses to the Human Race, leading to the deaths of many ordinary humans. Moreover, this situation hasn’t completely ended; there are still occasional appearances of these creatures.”

Ye Tian frowned deeply. This was no small matter! Moreover, many Universal Gods and Dominators of the Human Race had died.

“Could it be a war?” Ye Tian speculated, but then shook his head, thinking it unlikely. If it were a war, it would have been publicized long ago.

“Previously, the Divine Blade Alliance collected Zichen Wood, presumably for those Universal Gods and Dominators, indicating that something significant had happened, which is why the Divine Blade Alliance was in such a hurry. Although some Universal Gods and Dominators died this time, there should be hope for their resurrection, albeit at some cost!” Ye Tian thought.

He realized that trying to investigate the information himself would likely yield no useful results. The high-level officials of the Human Race were clearly hiding something; otherwise, they would have disclosed the origins of these creatures.

“I’ll go see Kunwu Supreme!” Ye Tian decided.

Immediately, he applied to enter the Supreme Hall of Humanity to request an audience with Kunwu Supreme.

To his surprise, Kunwu Supreme was not in the Supreme Hall of Humanity, and no one informed Ye Tian of his whereabouts.

In the end, Ye Tian contacted his former guard, Dominator Dark, and successfully reached him.

“Dominator Dark, do you have time?” Ye Tian transmitted.

“Yes!” Dominator Dark responded.

In a pavilion somewhere in Tianlan City.

Ye Tian and Dominator Dark met.

But as soon as they met, Ye Tian was a bit shocked.

Because Dominator Dark was injured, and his aura was much weaker than before.

“True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws, you came to ask about the recent occurrences of those creatures, right?” Dominator Dark inquired.

“Exactly!” Ye Tian nodded, then asked, “Dominator Dark, are you injured?”

“Yes, I sustained some injuries,” Dominator Dark admitted. It would have been difficult to hide it from Ye Tian, so he didn’t bother trying.

“What exactly happened? I also heard that some Universal Gods and Dominators had fallen,” Ye Tian asked.

Dominator Dark remained silent for a moment before finally speaking. “Alright, I can tell you, but it’s best if you don’t leak this information; it’s a major secret of the universe.”

“Alright!” Ye Tian nodded and listened intently.

Dominator Dark said, “True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws, do you still remember the Abyss of Destruction?”

“Of course, I remember!” Ye Tian nodded. “I was able to advance from the Emperor level to the Supreme level in terms of power at the Abyss of Destruction. It’s the only place in the universe completely isolated from the universe’s fundamental rules.”

“Could this situation be related to the Abyss of Destruction?”

Dominator Dark sighed. “Indeed, it is related to the Abyss of Destruction. Deep within the Abyss, there are Creatures of Destruction that exist solely to destroy everything. They emerge periodically to wreak havoc. Recently, there were tremors in the Abyss of Destruction, suggesting that some of these creatures had come out. Therefore, the various races of the universe decided that each must send strong warriors to suppress the Abyss. Those sent were all above the level of Universal Gods, and I was among them. However, I could only deal with the weaker creatures; the real burden fell on the Supremes.”

“What? The races of the universe need to unite to fight these Creatures of Destruction? Are they that powerful?” Ye Tian was shocked.

“That’s right!” Dominator Dark showed a trace of fear. “These creatures are terrifying. Even if the entire Immortal Race were mobilized, they would struggle against them, hence the need for a united front. Some of these creatures are extremely powerful, even the top Supremes of the universe can’t defeat them alone and need to join forces. Others are weaker, not even as strong as Universal Gods. To stop these creatures, many races have suffered significant losses. I was gravely injured and had to withdraw from the battlefield. I haven’t participated in the subsequent battles. It’s said that a group of Creatures of Destruction escaped, and some weaker ones took the opportunity to slip out as well. The Supremes focused on the stronger creatures, leaving the weaker ones unchecked.”

“Dominator Dark, are you saying that the ones causing chaos in the Human Race are these escaped creatures?” Ye Tian frowned.

“Yes,” Dominator Dark confirmed. “However, they are mostly weaker creatures, with most of them being less powerful than Universal Gods. But Creatures of Destruction are hard to kill; you must destroy their essence to truly kill them. Moreover, they have a terrifying ability to hide within destruction and slaughter, making them hard to detect. Because of this, it’s difficult to eliminate them completely. Right now, there are still some Creatures of Destruction hidden within Human Race territory. We’re working on finding and killing them.”

Ye Tian and Dominator Dark discussed much, gradually learning more about these Creatures of Destruction. They could grow stronger simply by continuously devouring living beings, without needing to cultivate or comprehend the universe’s rules. They were unaffected by the universe’s restrictions.

The only weakness of these creatures was their low intelligence. Additionally, they could not transcend the universe, though this wasn’t much of a drawback since hardly anyone in a cosmic era ever achieved transcendence.

“Dominator Dark, what if the races of the universe can’t stop these Creatures of Destruction?” Ye Tian asked.

“If we can’t stop them,” Dominator Dark sighed, “then the Great Cosmic Catastrophe will arrive early. According to records from other eras, if we fail to stop the invasion of Creatures of Destruction, the universe will fall into ruin, eventually triggering the Great Cosmic Catastrophe. This is a self-protection measure by the universe, as the Great Cosmic Catastrophe only destroys the creatures within the universe, not the universe itself. If we don’t take this measure, the nature of Creatures of Destruction would lead to the total annihilation of the universe. If we manage to eliminate the Creatures of Destruction, the Great Cosmic Catastrophe can be delayed significantly. For instance, in the last cosmic era, the Creatures of Destruction were eliminated, delaying the catastrophe.”

After learning this information, Ye Tian parted ways with Dominator Dark.

Ye Tian returned to Tian Pavilion, while Dominator Dark went back to heal his wounds. If it weren’t for Ye Tian, Dominator Dark wouldn’t have come out of seclusion.
