Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 471
byShen Ye leaned against the wall, sitting in the stairwell.
Several professionals had just left his side.
— Most people would be tempted by something like archiving.
To save a life, giving up some treasures is perfectly acceptable.
Shen Ye tallied up all the items.
The gains were indeed considerable.
And they all met his requirements, all treasures for which he didn’t have to pay.
It was almost enough.
Should he enter that world now and see what exactly was going on?
Shen Ye pondered, not making a decision immediately.
A sound came from below the stairs.
A teenager with short, white-winged hair and a gloomy expression appeared in the stairwell.
White Night Spirit King!
“I received news that someone was selling save points — so it was you.”
The truth-realm eighth-stage expert said.
Shen Ye remained leaning against the wall, saying, “Do you want to buy? Since we’re so familiar, I’ll give you a 12% discount.”
White Night Spirit King stared at him.
But he grinned—
Instantly.
An invisible force emanated from White Night Spirit King’s eyes, condensing into an ocular technique.
But Shen Ye disappeared.
The ripples of space tearing extended upwards from the stairwell, eventually disappearing into the ninth deck of the ship.
“Did he go to the ninth deck? Alright, this time you can’t run.”
White Night Spirit King muttered in a low voice.
He flickered continuously, landing on the ninth deck of the ship.
Only to see this deck hung with layers of curtains, the curtain beads all transparent diamonds, reflecting various mesmerizing light and shadows.
White Night Spirit King stood still.
The next moment.
He found himself in a dense primeval forest.
Not far away.
A bonfire was still burning.
But the corpse of a professional lay beside the bonfire.
White Night Spirit King’s expression turned stern.
He had seen this person before.
Not long ago.
This professional was the first to break through the eighth deck of the ship, entering the ninth deck first.
— Unexpectedly, he died here!
White Night Spirit King pulled out a silver chainmail and put it on.
Suddenly, the cold, emotionless voice echoed in the void:
“Pass through the eight thousand eight hundred worlds on this level alive, and you may proceed to the tenth level.”
The voice gradually faded.
White Night Spirit King, however, gradually revealed a fierce expression.
Alive?
Just by being alive, he could pass this level?
He was being underestimated.
He stood still, making a hand seal, a cruel smile appearing on his face:
“I really want to know what kind of expression you’d have if I destroyed all eight thousand eight hundred worlds at once.”
A surging, vast, and magnificent holy light rose from the hand seal.
“Destroy!”
White Night Spirit King roared, unleashing this world-destroying spell.
A holy light shot up into the sky, transforming into a falling star—
Thud.
The star fell to the earth, bounced a few times, and rolled back to White Night Spirit King’s feet.
At this moment.
The aftermath of the spell in White Night Spirit King’s hand had not yet dissipated.
He stared blankly at the meteor that had rolled to his feet, involuntarily uttering a sound:
“Huh?”
In the sky.
A massive green dragon glided silently, landing heavily opposite him.
“Young man.”
The green dragon spoke.
“The eight thousand eight hundred worlds here will randomly suppress your various powers and present you with trial requirements.”
“The world you are currently in is called the Green Dragon Lair.”
“Within this hour, the power of spells has been stripped, and you must defeat me by other means.”
“Do I have to defeat you?” White Night Spirit King asked.
“You can also give up and let me pickle you into jerky—I will use your body as food to get through the long winter.”
The green dragon rumbled, flames gushing from its mouth.
“Damn it.” White Night King said.
…
In another world.
At the edge of the battlefield.
“Are you from the outside?” someone shouted.
“Yes!” Shen Ye responded.
Standing opposite him were several knights clad in full armor.
This group was surveying him.
“This time, many people from outside have come in… I didn’t expect our world to get one.”
The leading knight captain said.
Shen Ye frowned slightly.
He had entered this world by using the professional skill “Thought Shuttle.”
But he was mistaken for one of those professionals undergoing the trial.
Well, it didn’t matter.
He had arrived in this world anyway.
Logically, he should have appeared directly before the owner of that pass badge.
— Where is she?
These knights all looked like men!
Shen Ye looked around, only to see the knights part a path.
A woman stood not far away, also clad in full armor, with a bow and sword at her waist, and holding a long spear.
In the ethereal, the power aura emanating from that pass badge originated precisely from this woman!
— Found the right person!
“You don’t seem to be merely an adventurer—I see my badge.”
The female knight said.
“Do you still remember that person? He said you once saved him.” Shen Ye asked.
“That’s true.” The female knight said.
She wore a helmet with a metallic visor, so her expression was obscured.
“He asked me to rescue you.” Shen Ye said.
“Rescue me?” The female knight’s tone was somewhat surprised.
Even the other knights all laughed.
“Rescue her? She just barely made it to this world, and someone wants to take her away?”
“Hahaha, leaving now would be a waste of everything.”
“Which fool is trying to be chivalrous?”
Everyone chattered.
When the female knight spoke, all voices ceased:
“Go back and tell him that I have just reached the eight thousand eight hundredth world and am about to leave this level to ascend to a higher place.”
“He can do whatever he wants, just don’t interfere with me—”
“For the sake of me having saved him once.”
Shen Ye was stunned.
He hadn’t expected such a situation.
She didn’t want to leave!
“Advance.”
The female knight barked.
The knights all summoned their mounts and rode forward.
Ahead.
Below the hillside.
A dense mass of devils formed a battle line, clashing with various races.
The knights looked down.
“Prepare—”
The female knight shouted loudly.
The knights drew their long spears, and their mounts neighed with battle intent.
At this moment.
Shen Ye made a hand seal and cast the Mountain God professional skill on the crowd—
“Hehua Zizai (Transformation into the Self-Existent-One)”!
This was equivalent to completing a save.
If these knights died below, they would revive at this moment.
Everyone looked back at Shen Ye, some moved.
“A truly rare resurrection technique.”
Someone praised.
Even the female knight, for the first time, turned her horse around to face Shen Ye directly.
“Just a small auxiliary technique.”
Shen Ye shrugged.
The female knight said, “Thank you for your kindness, this technique is equivalent to returning a life—please go back and tell him not to meddle in my affairs anymore.”
“Charge!”
The knights roared and charged down the hillside, directly into the battlefield.
As soon as they joined the battle, they immediately displayed an unstoppable momentum, cutting down devils along their path.
Shen Ye stood on the hillside, watching the knights gradually move away, feeling somewhat lost for a moment.
The battle below was extremely perilous.
Although the knights were strong, in this world full of war, no one could guarantee that they would survive to the end.
… But the female knight was unwilling to pay any further attention to the Lord of the End of All Eras.
Forget it.
I’ll just tell him.
Shen Ye simply sat down on the hillside and silently began to communicate with the Death Star.
— In the depths of that ancient ruin, inside that palace, beyond the era’s seal.
He sent a message to the palace:
“Hey, I saw that girl you mentioned.”
The voice of the Lord of the End of All Eras immediately sounded from within the palace:
“Is she… well?”
“She looks pretty good, dressed in magnificent armor, about to lead her subordinates to charge into the battlefield to kill devils.” Shen Ye said.
“What did she say?”
“She told me to tell you not to concern yourself with her affairs anymore.”
There was no sound from the castle.
Shen Ye wasn’t sure of the other party’s attitude and explained:
“Hey, I really showed her that pass badge. If you don’t believe me, I’ll come back with my phone in a bit to show you a live video.”
There was still no response from the castle.
“Should I go check again? Maybe persuade her to come find you when she’s free?” Shen Ye asked cautiously.
This guy has been imprisoned for countless years and was just rejected by a woman.
— Don’t do anything rash.
“Hey, are you still there?”
Shen Ye shouted loudly.
No response.
Shen Ye couldn’t help but sigh.
The打击 (blow) was probably a bit too great.
Forget it, give him some time to digest it.
Shen Ye withdrew his divine sense and looked down the hillside.
The battle was extremely fierce.
Dense spells and weapons filled the view, roars and screams constantly erupting.
Next—
What should he do?
Hmm…
Go back.
Go back and seize the time to cultivate well, improve his strength, and at the same time help everyone on the Death Star improve their strength.
Anyway, as long as they couldn’t find him, they couldn’t destroy the multi-layered universe.
He wondered how his teacher was doing now.
In short—
Let’s leave here first.
He took the pass badge from his chest and held it high.
“My task is complete, can I return to the lowest deck now?” he asked loudly.
The cold, emotionless voice suddenly sounded:
“You may.”
Shen Ye smiled, about to offer some words of thanks, when another voice suddenly reached his ears:
“Now grab that woman and take her down to the lowest level.”
The Lord of the End of All Eras!
Shen Ye erupted in anger, “I thought you were about pure love, why are you getting into kidnapping? I would never go capture that female knight!”
No sooner had he spoken.
A line of faint small characters quickly appeared:
“The Lord of the End of All Eras has actively initiated a contract signing request.”
“The current contract is of the master-servant type.”
“Once you accept the request, you will immediately acquire the slave: The Lord of the End of All Eras.”
“This contract comes with mandatory conditions:”
“Bring the female knight mentioned by the other party to the lowest deck of the ship.”
Shen Ye quickly read it and resolutely refused:
“I never thought you were such a despicable fellow, I wouldn’t do such a thing.”
“What if it’s to save her?” said the Lord of the End of All Eras.
“Save?” Shen Ye repeated.
“Exactly, listen carefully, this is the real key—”
“Among all twenty-one ultimate creations, this ship ranks third.”
“Normally, under any circumstances, it will exhibit a ‘sleeping’ state and will not be hostile to anyone.”
“The only way to awaken it is if someone wants to obtain its allegiance.”
“Once awakened, anyone who attempts to enslave it will be corrupted and enslaved by it.”
“—This is the strongest truth law it possesses!”
“That’s why you see eight thousand eight hundred worlds on this level—”
“These are all its slaves!”
Shen Ye was silent for a moment, then asked, “What does telling me all this have to do with that female knight?”
“She didn’t want me to enter dangerous territory again, that’s why she sent you away,” said the Endbringer.
“Really? Don’t flatter yourself.” Shen Ye said, crossing his arms.
“Did you notice the knights around her? They have already been corrupted by this ship. The proof is that they have all forgotten everything from before coming here!” The Endbringer said.
“Alright, and the lady?” Shen Ye asked.
“She remembers me! This proves she still has her sanity—a Gatekeeper’s entourage will not be enslaved until they are all devoured!”
“She’s a Gatekeeper too?”
“Yes, I am her guardian knight. Because I’m still alive and sane, she is also free—”
“Go save her! Quick!” The Endbringer urged.
“…I can’t be sure if your words are true or false?”
“As long as you save her, I will obey your commands without question.”
The Endbringer said with a resolute tone.
Shen Ye looked at the contract.
A new supplementary note had been added to the contract:
“During the contract period, the quasi-slave may not lie to the master.”
Could he be telling the truth?
Shen Ye’s gaze once again fell upon the battlefield.
That female knight, with her subordinates, was still trailblazing through the devil hordes.
Go capture her.
Go rescue her.
If it’s about saving her…
That might be worth considering.
“Note, the rules here change every hour. Currently, spell power is weakened, and there are three minutes until the next hour.”
The Lord of the End of All Eras said.
“How do you know so much?” Shen Ye asked.
“—This is the third-ranked ultimate creation among the twenty-one ultimate creations. For countless years, how many people have wanted to obtain it, and I am no exception.” The Endbringer said.
“But you survived, and were even captured by the White Night Spirit King, becoming his slave.” Shen Ye said.
“The White Night Spirit King possesses extremely noble blood. This ultimate creation has coveted him for a long time, wishing to capture him and make him its slave.”
“Go save her quickly,” the Lord of the End of All Eras urged again, “she must be exhausted!”
Shen Ye’s gaze was fixed on the battlefield.
The next moment.
Faint small words quietly appeared:
“Currently suppressing all other powers.”
“Only the power of the Spirit of Arts and the Terms can unleash their normal power.”
“Lasts for one hour.”
“Begin!”
On the battlefield.
The entire battle situation suddenly changed.
Other powers were unusable.
Only the power of these two!
But those who possess these two are very few.
The entire battlefield immediately fell into chaos.
— How many people possess a Spirit of Arts?
Generally speaking, even if one has a Spirit of Arts, it’s usually only one or two.
However, Shen Ye possesses an entire nightmare world.
All beings in that entire world are Spirits of Arts!
And how many people have Terms?
Shen Ye’s Terms, developed through his ability, are far more numerous than the average person’s!
“Good opportunity… worth making a move…”
He muttered softly.
After a few breaths, he took out a black cloth to cover his eyes.
The term “Blind Man’s Pride” immediately activated!
This way, he wouldn’t fear ordinary damage.
Coupled with the ‘Lord of the Solar’ who could activate ‘Kuafu’ at any time.
Go!
To save that female knight!
Shen Ye moved, charging towards the battlefield.
“Norton!”
He shouted.
A warhorse suddenly appeared beneath him.
At the same time, countless human cavalry appeared on his left and right, following him as he charged into battle.
Norton, riding a warhorse, followed right beside Shen Ye.
“Am I leading the charge directly?”
He asked loudly.
“Good—go from this direction!” Shen Ye pointed at the female knight’s position.
Norton made a gesture.
His personal guards picked up their horns, spurred their horses, and blew the horns.
“Everyone, follow me—charge!”
Norton roared.
The human cavalry began to pick up speed.
“For the Holy Violet Empire!”
“For Paige!”
The cavalry shouted, their horses raising high dust on the plain.
Their speed grew faster and faster—
“Carrula.” Shen Ye whispered.
The centaur elf quietly descended and sat behind him.
“What do you need me to do?”
Carrula communicated telepathically.
“Take me to that girl’s side.” Shen Ye pointed at the female knight who was deep in battle.
“Once Norton’s cavalry forces clear a path, I’ll take you there.” Carrula said.
Shen Ye nodded, and then intoned again:
“Lord of the Underworld, High Priest.”
The two Spirits of Arts appeared simultaneously.
Lord of the Underworld, Mictica Xiu, pressed his hand to the Book of the Dead and softly said:
“Resurrection of the Dead.”
On the ground.
The slain devils and soldiers of various races opened their eyes once more, revived as undead.
The Elven High Priest wielded her staff and said,
“Song of the Nature Goddess.”
Instantly.
The human cavalry were immediately surrounded by dazzling lightning.
They gathered together, cooperating with the legions of undead, and like a spear of lightning, plunged directly into the center of the battlefield.
All enemies along the way were sent flying and cut down.
“The path is clear!”
Carrula dismounted gracefully, pressing her hand on the ground.
Earth Shift!
Instantly.
Shen Ye vanished from his original spot, appearing at the very forefront of the entire human cavalry regiment.
Thirty meters ahead—
The female knight stood there.
For the current Shen Ye, this was an accessible distance.
He leaped from his horse, charging towards the female knight.
“No!”
The female knight shrieked.
The next moment.
Shen Ye had already appeared in front of her, and extended his hand—
In a flash.
He pressed one hand on the female knight’s shoulder, and with the other, he formed a hand seal in the air.
Law Manifestation Descent—
Yin-Yang Two-Phase Relief from Suffering and Calamity, Life-Stabilizing Divine Mountain!
“You can simultaneously experience two entirely different fates, escape from all dangers, jump to another timeline, maneuver back and forth between dual lines, stabilize your life, and relieve suffering and calamity.”
The entire world suddenly split down the middle, transforming into two identical worlds.
Two timelines!
— At this moment, Shen Ye did not let his guard down!
Everything was too suitable for him to act.
Whether it was the perfectly timed restriction rules of terms and Spirit of Arts, the female knight’s predicament, or even the ultimate creation’s green light for him.
Since he started acting, everything had gone too smoothly!
So Shen Ye directly summoned the Descent of Dharma.
In these two completely identical worlds, in one of them—
Shen Ye abruptly released the female knight, leaped back, and was caught by Norton.
“Door!”
He shouted, and Norton threw him into the door, where he vanished.
In the other world, he grabbed the female knight and shouted loudly:
“Let’s go!”
No sooner had he spoken.
Something invisible in the void suddenly appeared, fiercely stabbing, piercing through his and the female knight’s bodies, and then grabbing them into the void, disappearing.
— It was a trap!
Two completely different timelines, and the one where Shen Ye tried to save the female knight, ended in an irreversible situation!
Faintly glowing words appeared in the void:
“Timeline Two has been abandoned.”
“You have transitioned to Timeline One.”
“You have currently reached the bottom deck of the ship.”
All the small words flashed and disappeared.
Below the deck.
Shen Ye suddenly reappeared from the Gate to Heaven, landing on his backside.
— He had evaded the enemy’s ambush!
Shen Ye immediately jumped up from the ground and roared at the Lord of the End of All Eras:
“Your woman was a decoy, I almost died, you know that?”
“I saw it.” The Lord of the End of All Eras said.
His tone conveyed a sense of heartbreak.
“So you already knew she was a decoy?” Shen Ye asked.
“That is not the case. I merely hoped she could still gain her freedom, but now it seems she has been enslaved.” The Endbringer said.
At the same time.
Faint light appeared as a new prompt:
“The Lord of the End of All Eras has signed a master-servant contract with you.”
“This contract is eternally valid.”
Before the faint light dissipated.
Footsteps echoed from the steps.
The female knight descended the steps and stood opposite Shen Ye.
There was still a bloody hole in her chest.
That fierce blow just now, which failed to hit Shen Ye, only injured her, the decoy.
“A trick of fate?”
The female knight asked.
“Are you regretting being too confident in your acting, and not being able to suppress my ‘trick’ of fate just now?” Shen Ye retorted.
“No—it doesn’t matter what you suppress, but suppressing fate brings backlash, which is why you escaped—but it ends here.” The female knight said.
“Who exactly are you?” Shen Ye asked.
The female knight did not speak, but behind her, layered illusions materialized, revealing a glowing white vertical pupil.
— It was that ship!
“I’m just a small ant, you didn’t have to go to such great lengths for me.” Shen Ye said.
“No,” the female knight said, “among this batch of slaves, you are the only one who has no greed for me. You do not wish to possess me, so I cannot possess you.”
“What about now?” Shen Ye asked.
“No need to waste life—I’ll just devour you.” The female knight said.
She drew her long spear and adopted a battle stance.
