Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 613

White light emanated from Xu Xingke’s hand.

With a casual flick, he drew out a blank card, on which stood a rabbit wearing a bow tie.

“Here’s the situation.”

The rabbit quickly said, “You’ve acquired the extremely rare pink modifier buff.”

“Only a Dance King or a Songstress can achieve this.”

“—It must be a Songstress then.”

“All your skills have been upgraded by one tier.”

“So your current ‘Card Replacement’ skill has also been upgraded by one tier, with the following effects:”

“You can summon a comrade and add them as a sub-card to a historical substitution card.”

“Each sub-card will add 5 minutes to the main card’s existence time.”

“If a sub-card falls in battle, the time will immediately reset to zero.”

“A total of two sub-cards can exist simultaneously.”

Xu Xingke pondered:

“What do I need to pay to use a sub-card?”

“Minus 10 points from all attributes to draw a card; minus 2 points from all attributes to dismiss a card,” the rabbit replied.

“How many minutes does Shen Ye have left?” Xu Xingke asked.

“2 minutes and 31 seconds,” the rabbit said.

Xu Xingke nodded slightly and reached out to lightly draw from the void.

—Even with the help of multiple universes and the eternal world issuing eternal quests, the improvement in strength for sentient beings was still too slow.

Placing a sub-card could indeed extend Shen Ye’s time, but if the sub-card was not strong enough—

If the sub-card fell in battle, Shen Ye’s time would immediately reset to zero!

“So, the usable sub-card now, the choice is obvious.”

“It’s you.”

“—Come forth!”

Xu Xingke reached out and lightly drew from the void.

Within the multi-layered universe.

The Panda, with muscles like forged steel, immediately sensed something.

“Is it Xu Xingke?”

“—Fine, with my current strength, you’ll all be very surprised!”

The Panda’s fighting spirit erupted, clenching its paws, a ferocious killing intent appearing at the corner of its mouth.

The next moment.

A rectangular card frame appeared around its body.

Swish—

The Panda vanished.

It fell directly into Xu Xingke’s hand and was thrown out.

—Bang!

The Panda appeared directly in the Floating City of the Pale World, countless years ago.

“Oh, you’re here?”

Shen Ye greeted it.

The Panda, chewing on a thin bamboo branch, with its arms crossed, was brimming with fighting spirit.

“I’m here this time, it seems, to help you extend your stay.”

“But my strength is no longer what it used to be—the heavy responsibility of saving the world and maintaining peace, I shall shoulder it for you!”

“Is that so? That’s great!” Shen Ye said happily.

“When I make my move, it’ll definitely drop your jaw. By the way, where are the enemies?” the Panda asked.

“Enemies, oh, one is dead, over there.”

Shen Ye pointed at the ground not far away.

On the ground.

The corpse of the law monster had not yet been dealt with.

The monster’s body was evenly cut into many pieces, and even though it was deceased, the lingering immense power of the law continued to spread into the void.

The Panda stared at the corpse, and cold sweat gradually appeared on its forehead.

It was lustful, not stupid.

The aftershocks of power emanating from this monster’s corpse lying here were almost making it unable to move.

—If all enemies were of this caliber, just one glance would scare the shit out of it!

What the hell is there to fight!

Fortunately, the monster was dead. If it were still alive—

“No new monsters will appear, right?”

The Panda asked.

“Hmm? How would I know that?” Shen Ye said.

“I hope no monsters appear!” The Panda clasped its hands together.

“That’s hard to say. This seems to be a prison, and since it’s a prison, there are naturally guardians.”

Shen Ye shrugged.

The next second.

On a street not far away, two completely black creeping monsters suddenly appeared.

As soon as they appeared, the laws within the entire Floating City began to boil.

Incomparably powerful energy filled the void, emitting sharp whistling sounds, like the wailing of a billion living beings.

“Shen Ye.”

The Panda called out.

“What?” Shen Ye drew his blade, on guard, and responded.

“I suddenly have a stomach ache—perhaps traveling through history can cause some allergic symptoms for pandas,” the Panda said.

“Then—” Shen Ye said in surprise.

“Don’t worry,” the Panda showed its resolute expression, “I’ll stay in this era to give you more time, the fighting is up to you!”

Having said that.

It pressed its hand against a wall by the roadside, opened a door in the wall, and stepped inside.

Bang!

The door closed.

—The Panda stayed in the safe house.

Of course, it stayed in this history, hidden in a safe house.

“…” Shen Ye.

Alright.

This guy was as unreliable as ever.

But at least it added 5 minutes of time.

Now he had a total of 7 minutes.

—Mission cardholders, if you’re going to explore that prison, hurry up!

Shen Ye thought, walking to the wall and pressing on the door.

Instantly.

Faint light appeared as small characters:

“The opponent’s current skill is: Safe House (Tier 2).”

“You activated the modifier ‘Holy Chant Songstress’, temporarily increasing the Panda’s skill level.”

“Current skill has been upgraded to:”

“Safe House (Tier 3).”

Alright.

This might be safer.

Shen Ye looked back at the two law monsters and began to prepare for battle.

Suddenly.

A figure silently appeared beside him.

Xiao Mengyu!

“Why are you here?” Shen Ye asked in surprise.

“To buy you time—Teacher said so,” Xiao Mengyu replied.

“Step back, these guys contain the power of the law, they are extremely strong, you must protect yourself,” Shen Ye said.

Xiao Mengyu said nothing.

She formed a hand seal.

The longsword flew from her back, instantly turning into a streak of light, rushing towards the monster.

At the same time.

She also disappeared from her original spot.

Shen Ye immediately panicked, repeatedly saying, “Hey, are you courting death!”

He followed, gripping his sword.

At the same time.

Safe house.

The Panda wiped the cold sweat from its forehead and plopped down on the floor.

“Scared me to death… scared me to death…”

It muttered to itself, pulled out a can of cola, and took a big gulp.

Are there such terrifying monsters in all realms?

Damn it.

Never coming back again.

Might as well go back and sleep with Xiao Cui.

As the Panda was thinking, it suddenly felt something constricting its neck, and the next moment—

A powerful force struck.

Clang!

The Panda fell heavily to the ground.

It took a few breaths, then got up, only to be kicked away again, hitting the wall, and falling once more.

“Who—Xu Xingke? Did you just throw me?”

The Panda cried out in disbelief.

“Do you know how hard it is to send you there once?” Xu Xingke asked coldly.

“I—” The Panda was speechless.

“Gate ability users are not many to begin with. If you’re so afraid of death, you don’t deserve this ability at all.”

“—It would be better to strip away all your abilities, and you can go to the zoo to wait for death.”

Xu Xingke was brimming with killing intent.

“No—” The Panda shrieked, “That monster is too strong, I can’t defeat it at all, Your Majesty!”

“You can die in battle,” Xu Xingke said indifferently.

The Panda froze.

Die in battle?

I know how harsh your style is, Your Majesty.

But you’re directly telling me to die in battle…

“I can see your combat situation from here. As long as you die valiantly, I will find a way to resurrect you!”

Xu Xingke said, pulling out a card from his pocket.

On the card were boldly written characters:

“Tarot Resurrection Art.”

The Panda’s eyes widened as it looked at the card, feeling the magical power on it, and suddenly felt its chest filled with courage.

It can be resurrected.

Why didn’t you say so earlier?

Since it can be resurrected, who fears death?

“If you are cowardly and afraid of death, I would rather kill you here than resurrect you!”

Xu Xingke said indifferently.

“Your Majesty, please rest assured! I guarantee I will complete the mission!” The Panda said loudly.

“Hmm, go then.”

Xu Xingke kicked its butt.

The Panda immediately vanished into the void, once again arriving at that moment in history.

Taking this opportunity—

Xu Xingke pulled hard and drew another card.

Bang!

The card transformed into Xiao Mengyu.

“Teacher, I was fighting the enemy, why did you bring me back?”

Xiao Mengyu put down her sword and asked.

“Your suicidal fighting style, when encountering a powerful enemy, makes it very easy to die in battle,” Xu Xingke said.

Xiao Mengyu looked at the card in his hand and asked:

“Does Teacher have resurrection magic?”

“No—this card is not exactly what you think.”

Xu Xingke tore off the “Tarot Resurrection Art” stickers from the card.

Once the stickers were gone.

The card surface was clean and new, with nothing on it.

“This is a backup card, it actually has no effect—you only have one life, be careful when fighting,” Xu Xingke said.

“Understood.”

Xiao Mengyu’s face suddenly showed a strange expression.

When she had just teleported back—

The Panda seemed to have just left.

The Panda was fighting the opposite monster as if it had no regard for its life.

Was that card used to “motivate” the Panda?

“Teacher, I am not overestimating myself. It’s just that that place seems to be full of power that I can use.”

Xiao Mengyu said.

“Power?” Xu Xingke repeated.

“Yes, I want to try again,” Xiao Mengyu said.

“Alright, perhaps you’ll discover some secret—I’ll send you over now.”

Before his words finished.

Xiao Mengyu also disappeared from her spot.

Floating City.

The Panda let out a ferocious roar and charged towards the two law monsters opposite.

“Hey, be careful!”

Shen Ye shouted from behind.

—This guy was trying to hide just now, how did he suddenly become so fierce?

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of these two trash!”

The Panda roared.

“Aren’t we going to discuss a battle strategy? Or coordinate an attack?” Shen Ye asked, chasing after it.

The Panda paused slightly.

Oh, right.

That damn emperor was watching.

If it only sought death, wanting to be resurrected to recover from its injuries—

What if it was seen through!

No.

It needed to strategize.

—Just in time, Shen Ye had upgraded the safe house.

The Panda looked into the void.

It saw lines of faint characters appearing before its eyes:

“Your safe house has reached Tier 3.”

“Description:”

“When you pass through the safe house door, you will gain 5 seconds of invincibility.”

5 seconds!

It could be a true man for 5 seconds!

—Although it was a bit short, using these 5 seconds of invincibility to attack the enemy’s vital points.

This was its strategy!

“Door.”

The Panda roared, passed through the safe house door, jumped out again, and directly punched the monster.

The monster opened its huge mouth and directly swallowed the Panda’s head.

“Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch—”

“Ptooey!”

The Panda yelled, spat a mouthful of saliva into the monster’s throat, then kicked the monster away.

“3, 2, 1!”

Boom—

The monster was blown into the sky.

“Bomb?” Shen Ye asked.

He had used his sword to hold off another monster nearby.

“Nano-cluster bombs, hidden in my saliva,” the Panda said with an arrogant sneer.

Just then, Xiao Mengyu also arrived.

She, however, turned her head to look at the distant buildings.

“It seems…”

“At that location, there’s something that resonates perfectly with me, even creating a synergy.”

Xiao Mengyu looked for a breath and quickly made a decision.

She formed a sword art with one hand.

Swish—

The longsword flew out of its sheath, turning into a cold gleam, soaring through the air.

Shen Ye and the monster clashed, both retreating a few steps.

He positioned his blade, about to continue the attack, when Queen of Hearts’ voice echoed in his ear:

“Come quickly.”

“What’s wrong?” Shen Ye asked hastily.

“It’s a summoning array—countless arrays gathered together, forming a super-large summoning array—we don’t know what it’s summoning!” Queen of Hearts said.

Boom!

The flying sword cut a ravine dozens of meters wide.

Countless houses fell one after another.

But at the highest point—

The walls and roof of the black spire were destroyed by sword qi, revealing the scene inside.

Dense runes flickered in the void, half-hidden.

All the runes rotated rapidly, surrounding the summoning array at the center of the room, releasing streams of immense power.

—It really is a summoning array!

But—

All the laws of the Ten Thousand Realms were present here.

In history, the “King” had always been hidden in this pale world, never leaving.

It possessed such immense power.

—What did it want to summon?

Shen Ye felt that a certain secret was already within reach.

A shocking secret of history!

Shen Ye was about to fly towards it immediately but was entangled by the law monster, fighting seven or eight rounds without being able to break free.

“Get out of the way!”

Shen Ye roared.

But the monster attacked even more fiercely.

Shen Ye couldn’t break free from the entanglement and was distressed, so he had to continue fighting.

Suddenly.

A towering figure charged over, directly knocking the law monster away.

“You two go check it out, I’ll hold them off!”

The Panda exclaimed sharply.

Shen Ye paused his blade, looking deeply at it.

Good Panda.

He had misjudged it before.

—You are the true hero!

“Go!”

Xiao Mengyu said.

“Iron Man, I’ll treat you to a meal when we get back!” Shen Ye said, then flew off with Xiao Mengyu.

The Panda held a door in its hand, looking at the charging monster, a ferocious killing intent appearing on its face.

“Before, I was afraid of death, buddy.”

“Now, I’m not afraid anymore!”

“Today, I’m just here to play!”

“And I’ll play you to death!”

It waved its paw at the monster, looking like a carefree ruffian.

The monster, instead, hesitated.

—What trump card does this guy have?

Rather than waste time fighting it, it would be better to chase those two!

The monster’s body flickered, abandoning the Panda and flying towards Shen Ye’s direction, but it unexpectedly collided with something transparent.

Bang.

The Panda’s lips curled into a slight smile, and it uttered a line:

“I knew you’d run, so I specially prepared Panda bombs.”

Boom!!!

An earth-shattering explosion rang out.

The Panda was about to stomp on it in anger but found a card in its hand.

Several lines of small text appeared on the card:

“Well done.”

“Go hide somewhere.”

“By the way—”

“There’s no resurrection art. If you die, you die. I will only excavate your remains in the future.”

The ferocious expression on the Panda’s face froze.

No—

Resurrection art?

It slowly raised its head and looked across from it.

The monster, which had been blown away, was no longer moving.

The monster stared at the Panda, as if pondering something.

After a breath of silence.

A cold wind blew, making the Panda shiver.

Only one life!

What’s the point of playing anymore!

“Buddy, I just saw someone throw a bomb—that kid has already run off, that way there—you go chase him quickly!”

The Panda pointed in a direction and said.

The monster remained unmoved, still staring intently at the Panda.

It fully realized a truth—

It had to kill this Panda before it could confidently chase those two people.

Then kill the Panda!

The monster roared and charged straight at the Panda.

The Panda immediately panicked, turned and ran, constantly yelling:

“Buddy, don’t be angry!”

“I recognized the wrong person, I absolutely won’t trouble you again!”

“I offer you my sincerest apologies!”

“Can’t we just let bygones be bygones?”

“—Bastard, you’re still chasing!”

The Panda took a turn, rushed to the wall, opened a door, and jumped in.

Boom—

The monster crashed through the entire building.

But.

A sturdy and perfect bunker appeared before its eyes.

—A Tier 3 safe house!

At the same time.

The other monster caught up to Shen Ye and Xiao Mengyu.

“Block it for me, I need to get to that place, Shen Ye!”

Xiao Mengyu said urgently.

Shen Ye was startled.

Xiao Mengyu—didn’t seem to be joking.

Her longsword was emitting a joyous hum, as if sensing something.

“Alright.”

Shen Ye turned and drew his blade.

—Turbulent World · Slash!

Dense parallel worlds once again appeared between heaven and earth, blocking the monster’s path.

Taking this opportunity.

Xiao Mengyu landed on the highest building.

All members of the Mission Card Deck were there.

They all gazed at the object in the middle of the summoning array—

It was a mass of dark flame.

“Shen Ye.”

Queen of Hearts looked at the dark flame and transmitted, “We’ve made a big discovery.”

“What is it?”

Shen Ye asked.

“Destruction—it was not originally a law of the Myriad Worlds, it was summoned,” said Saint Mage Celine.

Shen Ye swung his blade to block the monster, sending it flying, then looked back at the summoning array.

In the history of the Myriad Worlds—

There was no great catastrophe of destruction?

Then where did it come from?

Under Shen Ye’s gaze, Xiao Mengyu walked forward, stood before the summoning array, and guided it with her longsword.

“Why?”

Xiao Mengyu’s expression held both bewilderment and anticipation.

She softly continued:

“Why is your resonance with me so harmonious and perfect?”

“Is it because of the inheritance of this sword art?”

“If so—”

“Please come and meet me.”

The dark flame seemed alive.

It seemed to understand Xiao Mengyu’s words and directly entwined around Xiao Mengyu’s longsword.

Instantly.

Lines of faint characters appeared before Shen Ye’s eyes:

“Congratulations.”

“The Eternal Poem has unfolded.”

“Humans stole a strange law that did not belong to the Myriad Worlds—”

“Destruction.”

“It can completely serve as the main law of the law chain.”
