Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 681

Chapter 664: The Twisted Sanctuary

“You activated the entry ‘Mandala Uroboros’ and merged the future entry ‘Most’ with the pink entry ‘Chant Diva’.”

“This merger resulted in a super-evolution.”

“Congratulations.”

“Due to the extremely high compatibility of the two entries, you have obtained the optimal super-evolution path.”

“A brand new entry is about to be born.”

“This is an unprecedented fusion, please wait at least ten minutes.”

I have to wait.

Tsk.

Shen Ye was a little bored.

He could leave now.

But Sabie and his companions were still waiting for him to revive.

What was about to happen—

Lu Man and his struggle were about to begin.

Leave?

No.

At least wait until everything here was over.

Still waiting.

So, he waited.

Shen Ye rotated his storage ring, pulled out a bottle of iced drink, and slowly sipped it.

Suddenly.

The void opened.

A bronze gate quietly appeared.

Gate ability?

Rumble—

The gate slowly opened.

A sickeningly sweet smell emanated from the gate.

But if one distinguished carefully within that smell, they would find the hidden scent of blood beneath the fragrance, and the nauseating odor of countless decaying bodies.

“Gatekeeper Shen Ye, come with me.”

A figure stood in front of the gate, leaning on it, looking at Shen Ye.

It was a woman draped in a long black veil.

—Seven layers of ominous black aura formed her headscarf, cloak, long dress, and high heels, with countless wailing souls swirling on their surface.

“Who are you?”

Shen Ye asked.

“The Twisted Sanctuary, Chief Judge, Mi,” the woman said.

She gave a kind and pleasant smile, and said softly:

“Hera sold your information to us, and of course, to others—”

“Since you have such an ability, we naturally reported it to our master, and our master forgave your past transgressions.”

“So I should thank you,” Shen Ye said.

“Not necessarily,” Mi covered her mouth and smiled, “The Twisted Sanctuary deeply values your worth and doesn’t want to make things difficult for you, only wishing for you to join us.”

“Me? Join you?” Shen Ye asked.

“Exactly, our master cherishes talent greatly, and has not only prepared generous treatment for you, but also ordered us to create favorable conditions for you with all our might—”

“After all, Hera betrayed you.”

“We will create an opportunity for you to kill her!”

Shen Ye applauded, praising:

“Your master is truly broad-minded and cherishes talent.”

“Of course,” Mi said.

“What exactly is the Twisted Sanctuary? I don’t understand your organizational structure at all, nor do I know what you intend to do,” Shen Ye asked curiously.

“The end of the bizarre is entropy, everything will be completely destroyed, even souls are no exception—”

“You understand this, right?”

“I understand,” Shen Ye nodded.

“Our master believes that there are other paths for the bizarre to take. As long as all emergent laws are pushed higher, twisting them into another form, they can erupt with greater power.”

Mi explained patiently.

“In other words, your master is looking for another path that can be taken,” Shen Ye said.

“Precisely so, please join us and together prevent the development of entropy, so that not everyone perishes here,” Mi said sincerely.

“Your master has noble aspirations and powerful abilities, which I greatly admire,” Shen Ye said.

Mi looked at him, waiting for his next words.

“But I’m sorry—I refuse to join you,” Shen Ye said.

“Why? We even prepared an opportunity for revenge for you,” Mi asked, puzzled.

Shen Ye shook his head and said:

“I won’t attack friends.”

Mi listened intently, shook her head, and said, “But you will definitely go to kill Hera, won’t you? What’s wrong with us giving you a hand?”

“Who said I was going to kill her?” Shen Ye met her gaze and said openly, “I’m actually grateful to her.”

“Please don’t sow discord between me and her friendship.”

Mi was stunned.

How could this be possible!

In the Era of Entropy Extinction, every living person was equivalent to a “coordinate” that could help beings in history find their way to the other shore.

—Who wouldn’t want to live in the “present”?

Who would want to constantly live in a known history that was headed for complete destruction in entropy?

The S-rank being, Hera, had sold all information about “Gatekeeper Shen Ye.”

Then.

All awakened historical figures would come to capture “Gatekeeper Shen Ye”!

—Not to mention organizations like the Twisted Sanctuary, which already had a grudge against him!

But—

He actually didn’t hate Hera?

What unknown problem was there that she was not aware of?

Mi thought quickly.

Shen Ye’s face showed sincerity, but in his heart, he sneered.

God said.

The number of S-class existences was extremely small.

Hera’s sudden rise to an S-class master would undoubtedly attract attention.

These guys couldn’t fathom Hera’s true strength, nor did they know what had transpired with her.

So, what was the safest strategy at this moment?

—To send someone to test her.

Others could glean much information by observing this battle.

Therefore—

He not only had to work for the Twisted Sanctuary but also had to deal with Hera for them, so they could figure everything out.

And what did he get in return?

The “talent-cherishing” of the Twisted Lord.

How could he make such a deal?

Moreover, he was truly grateful to Hera.

Her choice split the future entry in two, and he also obtained half of the entry.

—He had originally given up on it.

What a good person!

Let her be remorseful and distressed for now.

That was the best punishment.

As for killing her—

He must not let anyone know.

“If there’s nothing else, let’s part ways.”

Shen Ye said.

Mi stared blankly for a few breaths, then suddenly smiled:

“You are so loyal to your friends. This kind of virtue, I have only seen a few times in my life.”

“—I’m starting to fall in love with you.”

Before she could finish her sentence.

Shen Ye suddenly drew his Youhuang blade, and lightly parried in the void.

Clang—

The void trembled.

Countless hideous phantoms were blocked by the long blade, paused for a breath, and then disintegrated and vanished.

Neither side moved. The atmosphere changed.

“Is this how you attack someone you love?”

Shen Ye asked.

Mi smiled, and said softly:

“You are pleasing in all aspects, but there’s one thing I don’t understand.”

“What?” Shen Ye asked.

“Why don’t you hate her?” Mi said.

“Hate doesn’t build a life, it only destroys it,” Shen Ye said.

In the darkness.

Dense swarms of ghosts surged forward, pouncing on Shen Ye from all directions.

Shen Ye raised his long blade.

Hum—

The long blade vibrated.

The entire void seemed to be stuck for a moment.

All the ghosts were bound in place, unable to move an inch.

“You’ll never seek revenge? I don’t believe it.”

Mi waved her hand, and pressed further.

She cancelled the summoning.

The ghosts vanished from the void.

But a stronger power fluctuation was brewing in the darkness, ready to strike at any moment.

“If revenge brings no benefits, then it shouldn’t happen too quickly—a man shouldn’t be too fast, being fast will ruin a man’s life.”

Shen Ye said.

He swung his long saber.

The saber transformed into a snowy stream of light.

A wisp of light moved freely in the waves of countless specters, suddenly cutting a path.

The probing was almost at its end.

Next.

It was time to determine the victor!

Shen Ye stood with his blade, adopting a defensive stance, looking at the woman surrounded by endless specters.

The opponent’s moves were powerful, and she still had ultimate techniques she hadn’t used.

How should he respond?

According to what God said.

He was currently at the upper level of B-class.

His swordsmanship, “Demon Slaying,” should be of that caliber.

“Chant Diva” raising it two ranks, from B to S-class, though temporary, could still unleash S-class power.

—But he didn’t want to expose it now.

Yes.

He was here simply to fulfill his promise to Sabie and to ensure everything went smoothly.

If he killed this woman and attracted stronger opponents, wouldn’t that be contrary to his goal?

Mi said softly:

“You’re like an emotionless machine, everything is based on benefits.”

“Not so,” Shen Ye said, “My life creed is ‘altruism and building a career from it,’ which is the motto of a top salesman.”

Mi merely thought he was talking nonsense and sighed:

“Altruism? You don’t intend to help our Twisted Sanctuary.”

“Because I find you disgusting,” Shen Ye said.

Both sides attacked simultaneously!

But this decisive battle was completely different from what Shen Ye had expected.

“Now’s the time!”

Mi shouted.

The void opened.

Dozens of cultists from the Twisted Sanctuary simultaneously formed hand seals, shouting,

“Master ah—”

Before they could utter the rest of their words, all the hairs on Shen Ye’s body stood on end.

—That self-aware dharma idol!

The Lord of Distortion.

It was about to descend here!

What should he do?

Run?

But—

If he ran.

Everything here would be different from what happened in the original timeline!

According to his experience from so many events—

If things happened differently at the same time, it would create a parallel timeline.

In that case.

Other things didn’t matter, but one thing concerned him.

—His self in the parallel world was defeated, and the enemy learned the secret of the future entry.

This was the most crucial thing!

He must not let the Lord of Distortion know how the future entry was born!

Otherwise, with its power—

It would constantly destroy historical fragments, and its strength would soon reach an invincible state!

He was its enemy.

By then, he would definitely be finished!

These words were slow to say, but Shen Ye had already made his decision.

“Fumo.”

He whispered, his body shifted a bit, and the long saber stabbed directly into the void.

“Fumo” was a swordsmanship above “Sanchunhui.”

It was this single sword technique, when elevated two levels, that reached the level of “Town Prison.”

The long blade was like snow scattering in the dark night, flashing by in an instant.

Clang!

The blade returned to its sheath.

Lines of glowing small text appeared before Shen Ye’s eyes:

“You have activated the swordsmanship ‘Fumo’.”

“Destiny, Calamity Blade Skill.”

“Description: This blade has no bounds and will surely hit its target.”

On the other side.

The enemies of the Twisted Sanctuary all had a segment of their fingers severed.

A segment of their fingers was missing.

The hand seals could no longer be aligned.

The colossal phantom that had just appeared behind everyone gradually vanished.

The crisis was averted!

Shen Ye had no time to breathe a sigh of relief when a sense of crisis suddenly arose in his heart.

He looked at Mi.

Mi also held a hand seal, almost complete.

No time to kill her!

Shen Ye suddenly raised both hands, quickly forming hand seals.

—He had to catch up!

“Descent of the Bizarre Shadow!”

“Descent of the Dharma Idol!”

Both shouted in unison.

A gigantic phantom quietly descended from the depths of the sky, appearing behind them.

—Dharma idol against dharma idol!

At this crucial moment of life and death, several lines of small text suddenly appeared before Shen Ye’s eyes:

“Congratulations.”

“Entry fusion complete.”

“You have obtained the future entry: ‘Most Holy’.”
