Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 534

“I’ve found the whereabouts of a tarot card.”

The young man placed the piece of paper on the table.

—This trick always works.

Xu Xingke cared most about collecting those lost tarot cards.

Through this trick, he had already closed a lot of distance with him, and he had even praised him in the previous White Night battle.

Xu Xingke wiped his mouth, picked up the paper, glanced at it, and laughed:

“This information should be true.”

“Zhang Yang, I will remember what you’ve done for the Tower of Tarot.”

“It’s all my duty—after all, I am a member of the Tower of Tarot,” the young man said.

Xu Xingke smiled, about to speak to him, when his brows suddenly twitched. He stood up and said:

“I’ll be right back; you all eat first.”

He rose and walked out.

Seeing this, everyone was used to it, not even raising their heads, and continued to eat their own meals.

—After all, Xu Xingke was the leader of the entire Tower of Tarot, with many responsibilities, and often had various situations that needed personal handling.

The young man also found it inconvenient to follow. He put his plate on the table, sat down, and while eating, said:

“Actually, there’s a lot of information recently; I’m still filtering through it.”

“What information?” Jian Ji interjected.

“Cards—I’ve been focusing on this recently,” the young man said.

“You’re always helping collect information; doesn’t that hinder your cultivation?” Cang Nanyan asked with concern.

“It’s fine; for the glory of the Tower of Tarot, I’m bound to do it,” the young man said.

The two looked at each other, both having a good impression of him.

Xu Xingke walked out of the restaurant, his figure flickered and vanished into thin air, arriving in the space outside the planet.

No one was around.

He drew a card.

The card depicted the witch Shen Ye had seen before.

“Battle Witch???”

“Wings of Tarot, White-Robed Saint, King of the Deck leading the Law of Victory.”

Xu Xingke stared at the card and asked:

“Is there something urgent you called me for?”

“I’ve passed the power of divination to your student,” the witch said.

Xu Xingke was surprised: “You’re willing to give away that power of rules?”

“Isn’t it because you’re dying?” the witch rolled her eyes and said grumpily, “This old woman is doing all this just to save your life.”

“You mean… Shen Ye can find that…”

“Exactly. Next, you must be extremely vigilant and pay close attention to the people and things around you.”

“Got it.”

“Go back quickly, while things are still progressing towards the future I’ve seen—don’t disturb this future, join it immediately,” the witch urged.

Xu Xingke, without a second thought, put away the card, his figure flickered, and he returned to the planet.

He walked into the restaurant.

He sat back down in his seat, picked up his chopsticks, and began to eat.

“Done with your work?”

Jian Ji asked.

“A small matter. I’ve told them to handle such things themselves in the future and not to come to me for everything,” Xu Xingke said without changing his expression.

“That’s a must. You’re so busy every day; if everyone comes to you for everything, wouldn’t you be exhausted?” Cang Nanyan also chimed in.

Everyone chatted while eating, once again immersing themselves in the relaxed atmosphere.

Xu Xingke looked at the young man opposite him, recalled his contribution, and spoke gently:

“Zhang Yang, if you have any questions about cultivation or any knowledge, you can ask me now, and I can answer them for you.”

Out of caution, the man named Zhang Yang was about to shake his head—

At the same moment.

On distant Earth.

In the bedroom of Uncle Seven’s breakfast shop.

Shen Ye lay on the bed and activated the ability that had evolved from “Fate Divination” to “Eyes of Quicksand,” and then again to—

“Threads of Fate.”

The corresponding target was the man with the “Long Live Friendship” tag!

Shen Ye finished this, then immediately went to deal with his three sisters’ matters.

However, for Zhang Yang—

Things took a turn.

A thought suddenly popped into his mind.

—Why refuse?

This Xu Xingke clearly possessed a set of Tarot cards.

Tarot cards were well-known items, and perhaps they could indeed help him in some ways.

Although his target was Xu Xingke.

But—

Since he was already here.

Why not extract more benefits?

Taking this opportunity, he could also showcase his talent further.

To earn more recognition from the other party.

Killing two birds with one stone!

“To be frank, I do have some doubts, and I wonder if you could give me some pointers.”

Zhang Yang said.

“What kind of problem?” Xu Xingke asked.

“Tags,” Zhang Yang said.

As he spoke, a blue tag appeared above his head:

“Doraemon.”

The others looked up, their expressions changing.

“A cat-type tag? That’s rare,” Jian Ji said, a little surprised.

“I haven’t seen this kind of tag either—that said, being able to awaken a tag of this level is already very good,” Cang Nanyan also praised.

Zhang Yang felt a surge of pride, looked at Xu Xingke, and said:

“My tag is very useful, but I don’t know why, every time I activate it, I have to say, ‘You really leave me no choice.'”

“It’s just saying a phrase; that’s not a problem,” Xu Xingke commented.

Zhang Yang looked bewildered and said with distress:

“But after saying that phrase too many times, I always feel like there’s something extra in my chest.”

“What thing?” Xu Xingke asked.

“It’s like… a pocket, but if you look closely, it’s not there.”

Everyone’s expression shifted.

A pocket?

This was the materialization of rules.

Unbelievable.

This young man was truly incredible. If his tag advanced, wouldn’t he soar to great heights?

“It’s probably that this tag is about to advance,” Xu Xingke said with a smile.

“Advance? I’ve tried all sorts of methods, but I haven’t been able to make it advance successfully!” Zhang Yang spread his hands and said with deliberate distress.

It worked.

He had completely become a person valued by the core leadership of the Tower of Tarot.

With a little more effort, it would be easier and more convenient to interact with them, and he would be able to accomplish that task.

—Dig out their true bodies on Earth!

“So that’s it, Old Xu, why don’t you take a look for him?” Jian Ji said.

“That’s right, this is no small matter,” Cang Nanyan also said.

Xu Xingke pondered for a moment and said:

“Very well, I’ll take a look.”

He drew a card from the void.

On the card was a sparkling river, reflecting countless fragments of human time.

“Don’t move.”

Xu Xingke aimed the card at Zhang Yang.

“What are you doing? Is it a spell or something else?” Zhang Yang became alert, but asked with a smile on his face.

Xu Xingke was about to explain, but then his heart skipped a beat, remembering the witch’s warning.

His words changed:

“This card of mine can evolve your tag forward, to see what it will become in the future—”

“If we know what the future of the tag looks like, you should be able to find a way.”

The others nodded in agreement.

Zhang Yang also said cheerfully:

“This is indeed a last resort—does this card of yours have any other functions?”

“Other functions?” Xu Xingke glared at him. “This card can only carry one ability; any more, and it will shatter.”

“I don’t understand either, just asking,” Zhang Yang scratched his head and smiled apologetically.

—Since it’s just to deduce the tag, it’s nothing.

Maybe it could give him some inspiration.

“Come on.”

He spoke.

Xu Xingke nodded slightly, he put away the card, facing it towards himself, and the back towards Zhang Yang.

The card was immediately activated.

“Mirror River Deep Flow.”

“Tarot Occult System Fifty-One and a Half.”

“Description: Observer the origin of the tag’s formation, providing hidden insights for the tag’s development.”

A scene quietly appeared on the card.

The scene where the tag was formed—

It was in the nightmare world.

Shen Ye appeared.

He was talking to a “Xu Xingke”:

“Teacher… give me what I want.”

“Xu Xingke” sighed and replied, “Alright, you really leave me no choice, what do you want?”

A “clang” sound.

A tag appeared above “Xu Xingke’s” head:

“Doraemon.”

Xu Xingke looked at the scene on the card, suddenly his hand trembled, and he put the card away.

Facing the curious gazes of Jian Ji and Cang Nanyan, he said calmly:

“This is a public place, and the advancement of a tag is a personal privacy, related to one’s combat power.”

“After dinner, I’ll find a place where others can’t eavesdrop and tell Brother Zhang Yang alone.”

Makes sense!

Not only did Jian Ji and Cang Nanyan think it should be so, but Zhang Yang himself also felt that he had considered it very carefully.

Everyone naturally changed the topic.

After dinner.

Xu Xingke lit a cigarette, smoked it contentedly, and was about to light another one.

Jian Ji nudged him: “Hey, someone’s waiting; can you consider the young man a little?”

Only then did Xu Xingke stand up and wave at Zhang Yang:

“Let’s go, first we talk about your matter, then later I still have to practice boxing.”

“You’ve gone to a lot of trouble,” Zhang Yang quickly stood up and followed.

The two walked back to the spaceship.

“My room, or your room?” Xu Xingke asked casually.

“Let’s go to my place,” Zhang Yang glanced at him.

“Let’s go,” Xu Xingke immediately changed direction, showing no concern on his face, even spitting out the cigarette butt and lighting another one.

Everything was normal.

Zhang Yang relaxed and led him all the way back to his room.

The door closed.

A sword suddenly appeared from the void, piercing through Zhang Yang’s body, pinning him firmly to the metal wall.

It was Jian Ji!

“Don’t move—this sword is called Soul Sever, if you dare to make any move, it will cut your soul.”

Xu Xingke said expressionlessly.

Cang Nanyan stepped out from behind him, hands clasped in a seal, and shouted:

“Heavenly Cycle Sealing Array!”

Ripples appeared in the void, followed by countless dense runes that adhered to the metal wall, surrounding Zhang Yang in the center.

The sealing array was complete!

Zhang Yang was trapped in place, but his face showed shock:

“Three seniors, where did I go wrong? Why are you doing this to me?”

Jian Ji and Cang Nanyan remained silent.

They were just following orders and didn’t know what had happened.

Xu Xingke, cigarette in mouth, flipped the card over, facing the three of them.

The card was still continuously evolving the scene of “Xu Xingke” and Shen Ye’s interaction.

Jian Ji, with a half-smile, said:

“So you’re this kind of Doraemon.”

“I almost got fooled by this Doraemon too, tsk, that was close!” Cang Nanyan also said.

Zhang Yang looked at the various scenes flashing on the card and was speechless for a moment.

Things… were not right…

I actually let someone use a card to calculate my tag?

Why?

Why would I do something so suicidal?

I’m usually so cautious, why did I make such a rookie mistake today?

Couldn’t figure it out at all.

“Traitor, I have many questions for you.”

Xu Xingke said.

He took out the Book of Tarot and kept flipping through it.

—The book contained many ways to make a traitor reveal the truth.

…

Earth.

Hua Country.

A certain city.

A cybercafé called “Beyond.”

Shen Ye was surfing the Internet.

He typed a small line of text:

“Searching for prehistoric ruins, various artifact fragments, start.”

He hit Enter.

A large line of text immediately popped up on the screen:

“Please wait, connecting to network, activating all settings, resurrecting from this world.”

A constantly flashing USB drive was plugged into the computer case.

Inside the USB drive was the AI chip.

At this moment.

While the Destruction Squad had not yet assembled,

Shen Ye released it online.

Now was the time to use it—

Drawing the primordial power from other artifact fragments could replenish the strength of Shattele and Susu, allowing them to wake up earlier.

That Lord of Death was furious.

Shen Ye was worried he would do something irrational.

For example—

Bypass the Queen of Destruction and come specifically to kill him.

After all, the Queen of Destruction could only block him for a while, not forever.

He had to accelerate his own power advancement.

In a moment.

A line of large text appeared on the screen:

“Starting work, collecting information, analyzing all network images.”

“Will report to you when there is definite news.”

—This was artificial intelligence.

“Very good,” Shen Ye typed a line, “I’ll wait for your news.”

He got up from the computer, paid and logged off, and left the internet cafe.

He would leave this matter to artificial intelligence.

He had to rush back to that village immediately.

He went to the restroom, closed the stall door, and then opened a spirit gate on the wall.

He stepped through.

The young Shen Ye disappeared.

In his place, was the youthful Shen Ye.

No one else had arrived yet.

Tsk.

He had been busy with so many things, yet he was still the first one to arrive.

As he was thinking, he suddenly felt something moving.

He reached out and drew his card, which had a small symbol on it:

“A gift sent by Xu Xingke.”

A gift?

Shen Ye looked around, simply found a dense forest, drilled into it, and hid behind a large tree.

No one was around.

He tapped the card with his hand.

Boom.

A soft sound.

A brand new card popped out.

Shen Ye reached out and caught it.

The card depicted a black coffin.

In the center of the coffin were two large characters:

“Traitor.”

Shen Ye’s heart trembled.

Well done!

Having caught the traitor, Teacher was finally safe.

But why was the traitor sealed in a coffin and sent to him?

Xu Xingke’s voice suddenly echoed from the card:

“The traitor is still in our hands, but I heard from the witch that you have an exceptionally strong ability in elemental evolution.”

“I used Tarot cards to strip him of all his elements, sealed them in this coffin, and transported them to your location.”

“Make good use of them.”

The voice vanished.

Shen Ye couldn’t help but scratch his head.

Teacher was capable.

He was really considerate; elements were indeed very useful to him.

But what elements could that young man possibly have?

From his current perspective, his elements were nothing more than—

Wait!

Shen Ye’s heart lurched, and he almost blurted out that word.

Could it be…

Hold on, let me calm down.

He closed his eyes slightly, took several deep breaths to compose himself, and placed his hand on the card.

Whether his guess was correct depended on this moment!

In the void, lines of faint glowing text suddenly flashed:

“You have activated the tag ‘Battle Dance Diva’.”

“Your tag ‘Vampire Old Veteran’ has been forcibly upgraded by one level, currently ‘Vampire Demon Lord’.”

“Currently drawing the elements contained within this card.”

“Congratulations.”

“You have absorbed the ‘Gate’ element, the Sixth Era element that evolved through hundreds of thousands of eons and multiple universes: Friendship (Truth Tier 1).”

“This element is currently about to integrate into your Gate ability.”

“Please choose which gate to integrate into:”

“Gate of Spirit, or Gate of Immovable Property: Infinite Destruction Throne.”

Shen Ye fell into a careful deliberation.

—Once this fusion was complete, it would result in transcendent evolution!

Which one to choose?

He carefully recalled the ability of the Gate of Friendship, then compared it with his two Gate abilities.

It seemed, from a compatibility standpoint—

The Infinite Destruction Throne was more suitable.

Because the Gate of Spirit was merely for teleportation.

However, the various structures of the Infinite Destruction Throne required people to oversee and build them.

People, friendship.

—More fitting!

“Integrate into the Infinite Destruction Throne.”

Shen Ye said.

Click.

The card in his hand instantly dissolved.

All the elements were absorbed into Shen Ye’s Gate ability.

“The current Immovable Property Gate: Infinite Destruction Throne has undergone transcendent evolution.”

“The evolution of Gate abilities is extremely complex and requires a certain amount of time.”

“Please wait.”

Shen Ye pondered slightly.

It seemed—

The Heaven-Shaking Blade Technique was also advancing.

Next, he just had to wait for the harvest.

This feeling was truly great.

Suddenly, a spatial fluctuation radiated from outside.

The scent of blood permeated the air.

“Baxter!”

Someone shouted loudly.

Shen Ye jumped out, only to see several members of the Destruction Squad, covered in blood and injuries, falling to the ground.

The one who shouted earlier was the fat man.

Shen Ye flew over and landed in front of the three, shouting:

“What happened?”

“Those guys from the Castle of the End went berserk and attacked us,” Amy panted.

“Where’s the Queen of Destruction?” Shen Ye asked.

“She’s fighting the Lord of Death to the death!” Zhao Changhu said.

All of them looked a little bewildered.

They hadn’t even attacked the Truth Void yet, and the two great leaders of the Destruction faction were already fighting.

What direction would things ultimately take?

“Baxter, your strength is greater than ours; go help the Queen,” Zhao Changhu said in a deep voice.

“Me?” Shen Ye pointed to himself.

The three nodded in unison.

Shen Ye opened his mouth, unable to say anything for a moment.

—If I go, the Lord of Death and the Queen of Destruction will fight even more fiercely.

Should he add fuel to the fire?

While he was still hesitating, a strange fluctuation swept over.

The four of them suddenly shifted their expressions simultaneously.

“Look quickly—”

“The sky is changing!”

They looked up.

The sky was gradually turning a murky grey.

As if something was about to happen.

Shen Ye, however, saw more than the others.

Lines of faint glowing text appeared in the void:

“The Law of Destruction has drawn sufficient knowledge for construction from the Dharmakaya realm.”

“Under the personal descent of the Will of Destruction, the current Destruction Anchor · Earth has initially unfolded the Dharmakaya of Destruction—”

“Myriad Cities Forming a Panorama.”

Shen Ye read these explanations, shocked almost to the point of forgetting to breathe.

The will of the Catastrophe of Destruction had personally arrived.

It had even cultivated the power of the Dharmakaya from the Truth Void, and had also obtained its own Dharmakaya from it.

What did it want to do?

While pondering.

A grey light flashed by, instantly enveloping the entire Earth.

—The Destruction Dharmakaya · Myriad Cities Forming a Panorama had unfurled!

After waiting for a few breaths.

Another line of faint glowing text popped up:

“The Will of Destruction is tired of the battle between the two leaders.”

“Now beginning to select a third leader.”

“First—”

“Depending on the power of Destruction, all servants will descend to Earth.”

“You must awaken your Dharmakaya within one day.”

“Failures will be obliterated!”

“Begin now!”
