Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 515
byThe angry sea roared.
Thousands of black giant waves swept up, forming a grand and endless iron curtain that filled one with despair just by looking at it.
Such a powerful destructive force, like a tsunami, crashed down, and all things would be completely annihilated!
Yet, a metal ship was darting through the giant waves.
The surging destructive power grazed the ship’s hull, emitting a continuous knocking sound.
But the metal ship, rising and falling, was gaining speed.
It was escaping!
Beneath the boundless sea of destruction, a colossal shadow gradually surfaced.
—The Serpent of Destruction.
It had bitten off a large section of the Chaos Ark’s stern, and it wasn’t done yet, vowing to completely destroy the entire ship!
“Faster!”
The Parasitic Empress stood on the deck, shouting to Shen Ye:
“You know, a creation needs a master to unleash its power.”
The voice of the Chaos Ark also rang out:
“Sign quickly, I need to go all out to deal with it!”
—To unleash their mighty power, two contracts simultaneously appeared on Shen Ye’s Spirit Gate.
Shen Ye responded and was about to sign his name on the contracts.
After all, this was a critical moment in battle.
The sooner the contracts were signed, the sooner the two ultimate creations would unleash their full power.
But at the last moment—
Shen Ye still forced himself to suppress his urgent emotions.
He carefully examined the two contracts.
One contract read “Creation Master Contract,” and the other also read “Creation Master Contract.”
Absolutely no problem.
But—
A vague feeling surfaced in Shen Ye’s heart.
For some reason, he always felt that one of the contracts possessed a stronger might than the other.
Strange…
From Big Skeleton’s contract, all the way to Charlotte’s contract, then to these two contracts.
One of them clearly had stronger power.
Was it because that ultimate creation was the strongest among these contracts?
No time to think.
“Faster!”
The Chaos Ark roared.
In the dark void opposite it, the great serpent of destruction sprouted spikes all over its body, clearly preparing to unleash an extremely powerful move.
Shen Ye stopped thinking and placed his hand on the two contracts.
Contract established!
Boom—
A cannonball shot out from the Chaos Ark, instantly piercing through the head of the great serpent of destruction, blowing it apart into scattered beams of black light.
“Come on, this is my true strength, let me see your power too!”
Black cannon barrels extended from inside the Chaos Ark’s hull.
The Parasitic Empress stood on the deck, drew a dark gray longbow, and shot an arrow.
An arrow flew out, directly piercing through the entire body of the great serpent of destruction, drawing a long glowing trajectory in the void.
“We can still fight it together.”
The Chaos Ark shouted.
“Of course!” said the Parasitic Empress.
She waved her hand.
The flying arrow struck a scattered beam of destructive light, making a long arc in mid-air and returning.
The Parasitic Empress pressed her hand on the arrow, pulling off the destructive light beam to examine it carefully.
A moment later.
She exclaimed in surprise:
“It’s just a remnant!”
This immediately caught the attention of Shen Ye and the Chaos Ark.
“Remnant… what does that mean?”
The Chaos Ark asked.
The Parasitic Empress looked around, her eyes seemingly trying to see through the entire void.
“Our current location is inside this Eternal Brain, and destructive power remains here as a remnant.”
“I mean—”
“What we’ve been fighting all this time isn’t the great disaster from outside, but just a tiny bit of residual destructive power left after the destruction of this Eternal Brain!”
The Chaos Ark said nothing.
Shen Ye also remained silent.
The two ultimate creations had been fighting a tiny bit of residual power from the great disaster for a long time, and only after gaining a master and unleashing their full power, did they barely manage to win a hand.
But it wasn’t a win.
Look at that boundless sea of destructive power—
They were still boundless, and even began to gather again, brewing a new offensive!
A hint of solemnity flashed in Shen Ye’s eyes.
If this continued, even ultimate creations would find it difficult to defeat the residual destructive power here!
At this instant.
The entire world suddenly became incredibly slow.
Shen Ye could see the surprise on the Parasitic Empress’s face, the deep vigilance in her eyes, and the spell she was holding.
Heavy, slow cannon fire thundered in his ears.
—That was the Chaos Ark’s attack.
It was firing cannonballs at the sea formed by the gathering destructive power.
At this instant—
Two parallel interfaces appeared before Shen Ye’s eyes.
Tiny glowing words appeared wildly:
“Beginning of Destruction.”
“—A command from the Great Calamity of Destruction.”
“Description: You, possessing the power of destruction, need to cooperate with your accomplice to eliminate this truth creation with ‘parasitic’ power.”
“If you succeed, you will receive destruction’s reward.”
“Gate Ability Special Reminder: Completing this mission requires replacing your body that possesses destructive power.”
On the other other interface, a new prompt appeared:
“Legacy Guardian.”
“—A remnant instinct from the Eternal Brain.”
“Description: You possess ‘the last immortal chip,’ and have brought this truth creation with ‘parasitic’ power, perhaps you can excavate more information from the deceased Eternal Brain.”
“Please let the ‘parasite’ survive!”
“The Eternal Brain will infuse you and your companions with eternal source energy to help you improve your strength.”
Two different wills.
Two completely opposite tasks.
Could it be—
Shen Ye’s gaze fell on the first mission, staring at the words “accomplice.”
I have an accomplice?
—An accomplice to kill the Parasitic Empress?
His mind raced, and he suddenly remembered something, immediately turning his attention to the Spirit Gate.
Only to see that one of the contracts on the gate had changed.
—It was the Chaos Ark’s contract!
Shen Ye tore off the contract and examined it carefully.
The content of the contract had changed.
“So that’s how it is…”
Shen Ye muttered.
There was a reason why he felt this contract was too powerful before.
The tiny glowing words remained next to the contract, offering an explanation:
“This contract possesses the power of ‘natural evolution,’ and therefore, after its signing, it continued to evolve, eventually becoming a ‘Contract of Accomplice.'”
“You and the Chaos Ark have formed an accomplice relationship to destroy everything.”
Shen Ye narrowed his eyes slightly.
Goodness.
The Chaos Ark looked like a metal ship, tough as iron, yet it was the first to betray the revolution!
But why?
Was it stimulated by the Scepter of Decay?
Or did it feel despair in the face of destruction?
Shen Ye stared at the contract.
He suddenly noticed that the contract automatically rolled up, covering its contents, preventing him from seeing a single detail.
…This contract seemed to have a consciousness of its own.
It was repelling him.
Perhaps…
Shen Ye opened his Dharma Aspect, “One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones,” switched his body, and brought out the self that possessed destructive power.
The next second.
The contract unfolded completely.
The content hadn’t changed.
But it seemed to have accepted him.
—Accepted this self that possessed “destructive” power!
Strange.
His current body was condensed from the Eternal Brain and artificial intelligence.
Logically, the Great Calamity of Destruction shouldn’t issue such a command to him!
Because he was the multitude of beings!
Now that he had changed his body, his compatibility with destruction made it possible to accept the contract and the mission.
A flash of insight crossed Shen Ye’s mind.
He understood!
This was the inside of the deceased Eternal Brain!
The will of the Great Calamity of Destruction wasn’t here; it only left a trace of power.
That tiny bit of power represented the Great Calamity of Destruction.
But it didn’t have such subtle discernment!
It only knew there was a follower of destruction here, but it lacked thought and will, unable to distinguish the specific circumstances of the follower.
The Eternal Brain was the same.
—It was already “brain dead” and could only act on instinct!
Thoughts flashed through Shen Ye’s mind.
“Careful!”
The Parasitic Empress’s voice suddenly rang out.
Shen Ye snapped back to reality, looking up to see a massive shadow reappearing in the boundless sea of destruction.
*Splash*—
The shadow surged out of the water, rising continuously into the air.
—It was a monster several hundred meters tall, with an octopus head but a human-like body, its eyes emitting shimmering light.
“Get ready, I’m going to ram it head-on.”
The Chaos Ark’s voice echoed on the deck.
The very front of the metal ship extended a long, sharp metal ram, and it suddenly increased its speed.
The sea surface was like a steep slope.
The Chaos Ark, with its metal ram, accelerated with all its might up the slope, as if intending to ram the destructive monster head-on.
The destructive monster merely looked down at the Chaos Ark, making no reaction for a moment.
The Parasitic Empress frowned slightly.
“Something feels off, what is it planning?!”
She exclaimed.
The Chaos Ark remained silent.
But a telepathic message echoed in Shen Ye’s ear:
“You let her go first, that way I’ll have a chance to cooperate with the power of destruction to take her down—you and I are on the same side, I hope you remember that.”
It was the Chaos Ark.
According to the contract, he had to cooperate with it to eliminate the Parasitic Empress.
What to do?
—No time to delay, now was the time to make a choice.
Shen Ye took a deep breath and shouted:
“You go first, I’ll provide backup from behind, and the Chaos Ark will assist you in attacking!”
“Okay.” The Parasitic Empress nodded.
Currently, with the contract signed and in such a dangerous situation.
Their relationship was one of shared prosperity or shared ruin.
So, let’s cooperate and attack!
The Parasitic Empress leaped vigorously, flying up from the deck and rushing towards the destructive giant monster.
The bow in her hand continuously shot arrows.
However, these arrows, at a distance of dozens of meters from the destructive giant monster, automatically turned into dust.
—The opponent had protective magic!
But why was it standing still?
The Parasitic Empress was feeling surprised, and the next second—
Silently.
The sharp ram of the Chaos Ark charged straight in, piercing through her body and tearing her to pieces.
Blood rained down.
The destructive giant also let out a silent roar.
Shen Ye struck at the same time.
Under the triple attack, the Parasitic Empress had only her head seized by Shen Ye, who then shattered it with a punch.
“I’ll take your head. I’ll make a specimen out of it, as proof of my victory over an ultimate creation.”
Shen Ye said.
Aside from her head being taken as a specimen—
The Parasitic Empress’s entire body had been destroyed by the destructive giant!
“Well done!”
The Chaos Ark let out a violent hum.
At the same time.
Lines of glowing characters suddenly appeared in the void:
“You have completed the quest ‘Beginning of Destruction’.”
“—This is a command from the Great Calamity of Destruction.”
“The ultimate creation, Parasitic Empress, has been eliminated by you and the Chaos Ark.”
“Congratulations.”
“You have received destruction’s reward:”
“Emblem of Finality.”
The void flashed.
A black object fell, caught by Shen Ye.
—It was a cluster of endlessly burning black flames.
The surrounding void was scorched with small, pore-like spatial cracks.
But upon sensing Shen Ye, it solidified, transforming into an emblem, quietly resting in Shen Ye’s hand.
Beside the emblem, tiny glowing words continued to appear:
“Emblem of Finality.”
“Proof of the Destroyer’s Devotee.”
“Description: Any being possessing this emblem will not be the first to be annihilated by the Great Calamity of Destruction, and can survive until all beings are extinguished, only then falling into eternal destruction.”
“—You survive alone at the moment of time’s end.”
Shen Ye looked at the emblem, remaining silent for a moment.
The monster in the sea glanced at him, then transformed back into countless black streams, returning to the sea of destruction and disappearing.
The seawater gradually receded.
—This residual destructive power was returning to dormancy!
It no longer considered Shen Ye an enemy!
“Hahahahaha!”
The Chaos Ark’s voice echoed in the endless dark void:
“Clever people are indeed clever, now you won’t die so soon—”
“And I, as your ultimate creation, will continue to exist until all other ultimate creations are completely annihilated!”
Shen Ye said, “You’re right, but I have a small question.”
“Ask,” said the Chaos Ark.
“As the third-ranked ultimate creation, why haven’t you fought with all your might yet, and instead you’re already thinking of defecting to the other side?” Shen Ye asked.
“What about you?” the Chaos Ark retorted.
“I’m human, and my strength is only at the 20th realm of the Dharma world, like a drizzle. If I don’t defect, wouldn’t I just be waiting for death?” Shen Ye said.
The Chaos Ark was silent for a moment, then said, “Your strength is indeed too weak, so you haven’t noticed one thing.”
“What?”
“That tomb of creations, it’s clearly an anchor point for the Great Calamity of Destruction, and it’s already filled with destructive aura.”
“In other words—”
“The Great Calamity of Destruction could arrive at any moment.”
“As the third-ranked ultimate creation, I have a clear understanding of the Great Calamity of Destruction.”
“What understanding?” Shen Ye asked.
“No one can resist the great calamity,” said the Chaos Ark.
Shen Ye sighed, asking no further questions.
By then, the entire sea of destruction had vanished completely.
The Chaos Ark rested on the boundless flesh.
There was no longer any living creature.
“It seems to be over, let’s go back,” Shen Ye said.
“Alright—but I have to add one more thing: if one day, you can destroy the will of the multi-layered universe in the face of the Great Calamity of Destruction, you will definitely receive an even greater reward,” the Chaos Ark said.
Shen Ye smiled and said, “I’ll consider it.”
“That’s good, you’re finally showing some promise, only then can you be worthy of an existence like me.”
The Chaos Ark seemed satisfied, flashed lightly, and disappeared into Shen Ye’s back.
Shen Ye pushed open a door and entered it.
He left.
Time flowed slowly.
A door quietly appeared on the flesh.
Another Shen Ye walked out of the door.
Around him, a destructive aura seemed to begin to fluctuate slightly.
But this fluctuation, sensing the Emblem of Finality worn on his chest, gradually returned to calm.
Everything returned to dead silence.
In this dead silence, Shen Ye—
Or rather, this young Shen Ye, whose body was jointly sculpted by the Eternal Brain and artificial intelligence—
He swept his hand across his spatial ring.
A young girl’s head instantly appeared in his hand.
The head of the Parasitic Empress.
“Let me try… I will do my best to save you.”
Shen Ye whispered.
He unleashed his Omniscient Spiritual Light, activated his Emperor Species bloodline, and then attributed all his free attributes to his mental power.
Then—
“Omniscient Art.”
He let out a low cry, and the spell in his hand aimed at the Parasitic Empress’s head.
In an instant.
The state of this head rewound, all the way back to the moment she was still alive.
Shen Ye’s face turned pale, his legs went weak, and he collapsed onto the ground.
Without Charlotte’s assistance, performing this Omniscient Art alone was extremely strenuous!
The Parasitic Empress opened her eyes and looked at Shen Ye.
“I thought you had killed me.”
She said.
“Just to deceive that ship—I truly needed the power of destruction, otherwise I would have been constantly entangled and unable to explore here at all,” Shen Ye said.
“So that’s how it is,” the Parasitic Empress looked at the Emblem of Finality on Shen Ye’s chest, and said with delight, “Such a you, finally makes one look at you properly.”
“Then continue to be my master.”
Streaks of bloody light emerged from beneath her head, and in an instant, they constructed a flawless body.
“Take this.”
The Parasitic Empress handed Shen Ye a scroll.
Shen Ye took it and saw that it was a recognition contract.
—But there was already one.
He looked at his Spirit Gate, only to see flames ignite on that contract, quickly transforming into a blazing inferno, which then flew and landed on the new contract in Shen Ye’s hand.
“No need to look, that contract was a wisp of my soul, my death merely activated it.”
“It would revive me.”
“Of course, now that you have revived me, I won’t use it to kill you.”
The Parasitic Empress grabbed his hand and pressed his handprint onto the scroll, then looked up at him, a bright smile on her face:
“Remember, I’m Su Su, and this time I truly acknowledge you as my master.”
Shen Ye was stunned.
However, before he could speak, lines of glowing characters suddenly appeared in the void again:
“You have completed the quest ‘Legacy Guardian’.”
“—This quest came from the remnant instinct of the Eternal Brain, and you executed it perfectly.”
“You allowed the ‘parasite’ to survive amidst the power of destruction.”
“You possess ‘the last immortal chip,’ and have brought this truth creation with ‘parasitic’ power, you can certainly excavate more information from the deceased Eternal Brain.”
“Additionally.”
“Congratulations.”
“The Eternal Brain will infuse you and your companions with eternal source energy to help you improve your strength.”
On the other side.
Earth.
Xie Lan stood on the mountain, bored of waiting.
Suddenly.
An incredibly powerful force descended upon him, beginning to infuse him with pure source energy.
Xie Lan was stunned.
“Huh?”
“Why am I suddenly getting stronger?”
“…I didn’t do anything.”
