Chapter 367: Five Months of Life, Like a Dream and an Illusion

"Brainworms know a lot of information, but they call the Spirit Realm a subspace. I always get a bad feeling about it."

Qin Muye couldn't help but think about the three Great Demons of Greed, Hatred, and Delusion inviting him to become the fourth Great Demon. If they all came together, they would form the Four Chaos Evil Gods.

In the insect race's legacy, the subspace is a special dimension attached to the real world, but it is one dimension higher.

Therefore, it cannot be destroyed or dissipated, and the Spirit Realm also has this characteristic.

"If they were to include me, Emperor Shen You would really be sitting on a golden toilet," Qin Muye muttered. Fortunately, he didn't agree back then, otherwise, it might have turned into a Warhammer 40K scenario, which would be disastrous.

He also understood why the brainworms were so cautious. They were attracted to this unique subspace Spirit Realm. Emotions and desires can be called mental energy, which matches perfectly with the yao energy.

Thanks to this Spirit Realm, the brainworms were able to quietly send a large number of mutated beings into the Great Shen Dynasty.

From the information provided by the brainworms, Qin Muye learned the reason for the rebellion in the Great Shen Dynasty. It turned out that the small heads had dominated the big heads.

Honestly, he had seen many kinds of rebellions in historical records, but this was the first time he encountered a large-scale rebellion caused by the inability to control one's desires. After all, he could understand if one or two people rebelled because of such matters, but for everyone to rebel for the same reason was truly ridiculous.

It had to be said that the queen in the artificial beauty technology was far ahead of Qin Muye. The beauty she created was more than skin-deep, and even with Qin Muye's Titan-level aesthetic, he couldn't detect any signs of artificial synthesis.

Moreover, compared to other artificial beings, the mutated beings produced by the brainworms were very durable, and Qin Muye was envious.

It wasn't that he was envious of the beautiful women, but rather of the technology. If he could obtain it, he could use this technique to win over the lecherous Titan gods.

Qin Muye absorbed a large amount of knowledge from the insect race. Thanks to the brainworm's special status, even though this brainworm was a beginner, it still had all the necessary knowledge, which Qin Muye extracted completely.

However, he didn't get any information about breaking through to the 9th stage. According to this new brainworm, the Overlord level is the only existence.

In other words, the brainworm clan can only have one Overlord-level brainworm. This isn't just true for the brainworm clan; it's the same for other clans. Even in a 9th-stage world, it cannot bear too many 9th-stage beings.

Although somewhat disappointed, Qin Muye didn't dwell on it too much. For him, the 9th stage was still a very distant goal.

"It's a pity that most of the brainworm's legacy is related to yao energy, the hive mind network, and command management," Qin Muye said with a small regret. As for the queen, it was even less reliable. Production for her is like an instinct, and there is no legacy to speak of.

The same goes for other insect races. To become stronger, they mostly need to learn after birth, unlike the brainworms, who are born with knowledge related to yao energy.

"From the information provided by the brainworms, the Spirit Realm constructed by mental energy is not very stable and can be influenced by external mental energy, leading to positive or negative changes."

"The previous stability was due to peace in the world. Now that the world is not so peaceful, negative emotions will definitely develop more severely."

Although ordinary people joined the rebellion led by the noble families and schools, it doesn't mean that the noble families and schools will treat them well. Most of the time, they will exploit and manipulate the commoners with promises and grand ideals. Otherwise, they wouldn't really be fighting for the people.

Perhaps in their eyes, the people are the mages, not the ordinary people without extraordinary powers. Mages are their own kind, not the commoners.

"I never thought that a crisis could arise from any opportunity."

The insect race sent mutated beings to disrupt the rear, and Qin Muye wasn't concerned at first, thinking that with Emperor Shen You, nothing would go wrong. But who would have thought that it would become an opportunity for the birth of a high-dimensional demon.

For now, it's just an opportunity. Since it has just begun, the Spirit Realm hasn't changed much, but once the conflict truly erupts, who knows what might happen.

The army of noble families and schools, similar to the Yellow Turbans, initially fought with a strong belief, but as the upper echelons exploit and resources run short, there will definitely be discontent.

This situation is bound to be far more brutal than the Yellow Turban Rebellion, as these aristocratic families and schools have always been driven by self-interest rather than a genuine desire to cleanse the imperial court.

They never even considered overthrowing the dynasty; they just wanted to replace the emperor with a puppet they could control.

Qin Muye only came to understand this after reading the intelligence department's analysis, though he had his suspicions.

"Unusual events must have some sinister motive; Emperor Shen You is definitely up to no good!"

Emperor Shen You's laissez-faire attitude, allowing the rebels to grow in strength, made Qin Muye skeptical that there was no underlying benefit for him.

If he were to talk about ideals, it wouldn't be like this. "Could it be related to the two crises?" Qin Muye's thoughts began to wander, but he quickly refocused on his current research.

Even he didn't want to interfere; he needed to quickly convert the vast gains from this crisis into strength. Otherwise, how could he face the impending crisis?

"The power beyond the Tenth Realm!" A trace of ecstasy flashed in Emperor Shen You's eyes.

After a hole was opened in the world barrier, he heard faint whispers from the void.

These whispers contained profound secrets, causing his previously stagnant strength to undergo a slight transformation.

Rebellion? Insurrection?

These matters were trivial to Emperor Shen You. Once he reached the power beyond the Tenth Realm, all problems would be resolved.

"Threads of Life, Devourer of Worlds, Vessel of Desire, Whispers of the Void, and the Cycle of the End?"

In his mind, five entities appeared. He knew this was a contract, and by choosing one, he would receive the reward he needed.

But based on millennia of caution, he didn't dare choose randomly. He wanted to break through to the Eleventh Realm of the Artisan on his own, not through a contract.

However, soon, a piece of information flashed in his mind.

"The world's limitations? Impossible, why can the Lord of the Demon Soil and the Great Emperor of Demon Machinery possess the strength of the Eleventh Realm?" Emperor Shen You immediately countered.

The response quickly answered Emperor Shen You's question.

"Beyond the world, we are naturally limited. This is impossible!"

Emperor Shen You naturally didn't believe it; he trusted in human determination to overcome nature.

But the evidence before him made him silent.

"So, they have backing and support, which allows them to act without restraint. I and the three Great Demons of Greed, Hatred, and Delusion have no such support, and we will only be reduced to ants."

"Hah, I see. I have reached my current strength because of the world's favor, and the three Great Demons are favored by heaven and earth."

"Originating from the world, we cannot escape it."

As he conversed with the whispers, Emperor Shen You learned much, but the more he knew, the more desperate he became. He thought there was still a path ahead, but now he was told there was none. He had reached his peak, and there was no way to advance further.

Even more straightforwardly, there was no such thing as the Eleventh Realm of the Artisan. Even if he found a new path, the world's limitations would prevent him from breaking through.

Because the world could not accommodate native breakthroughs.

"Since that's the case, I'll choose one." Emperor Shen You whispered, his voice tinged with madness and despair.

His divine consciousness scanned the five contracts, reading their terms.

Ultimately, he chose the Cycle of the End. As soon as he made his decision, the remaining four contracts vanished, and the Cycle of the End transformed into a five-colored light that entered his body.

"Life spans fifty years, but that's too much. Life spans five years (crossed out), life spans five months, like a dream and an illusion, cherish it well~" A playful voice briefly appeared in Emperor Shen You's mind.

But Emperor Shen You seemed oblivious, only feeling the knowledge flooding into his mind, his expression filled with excitement.

"Yes, that's right. The path of the Artisan should not end at the Tenth Realm. There are higher levels, and I can achieve it!!!"

His excited voice carried a hint of madness, like a pent-up LSP finally letting loose.

Fortunately, there were no eunuchs or palace maids around, or they would have been terrified by this sight, and combined with the rumors outside, Emperor Shen You might have been labeled as a mad emperor.
