Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 716

“Creator of Destiny.”

“Future Professional Level 3.”

“Professional Skill: Void Creation of Saints.”

“Description: 1. Endows the existence you designate with intelligence and consciousness, raising its ‘attributes’ to U-rank, and causing it to fight wholeheartedly for you.”

“2. Comprehends the target’s various abilities, immediately grasps their essence, and invokes the same power to unleash them.”

“3. Everything you kill will return to ‘Termination’ by the power of entropy.”

“—Saints are not benevolent; they treat all beings as straw dogs.”

Shen Ye looked at these prompts, a little speechless.

It was… too powerful.

The Gate ability was like that.

The entries were like that.

Now, even his profession was incredibly strong.

How did he do it?

The first few missions of the Eternal Poem were unremarkable, but the final mission’s reward was astonishing!

“Shattel, I seem to have gained an incredible power.”

Shen Ye said.

“That’s normal,” Shattel said calmly. “Everything here comes from the Sacred Tree Aspect. It probably realized you were close to releasing it, so it bestowed immense power upon you.”

Shen Ye was silent for a moment.

Because he thought of something—

The so-called mission of the Eternal Poem was to save humanity.

So.

Even this mission was actually issued by the Sacred Tree.

It wanted to save itself!

“I was tricked…”

Shen Ye sighed.

Shattel smiled and said, “It’s not your fault. After all, who would have known that the Sacred Tree was everything?”

“Then what about us humans? Were we also created by it?”

Shen Ye asked.

“No, humans are from the outside. They were brought in and forced to multiply, then combined with the mission of the Eternal Poem to accelerate human evolution and gain power, thereby helping it escape,” Shattel said.

Shen Ye nodded and said nothing more.

Shattel also remained silent.

The two quietly listened to the unimaginable clashes of power outside the Sacred Tree.

It was time for a decision.

“What do you plan to do?”

Shattel asked.

“I don’t want to get involved—I probably won’t interfere with that decisive battle. I don’t want this terrifying entity to escape its prison.” Shen Ye said.

He had just witnessed it.

The decisive battle outside could destroy everything!

Yet, even amidst such power, the Sacred Tree could endure for endless ages, neither exhausted nor annihilated.

If the Sacred Tree regained its freedom—

It was the tree of monsters, not of humans!

Perhaps it really found the weaknesses of the High-Dimensional Lord and the Apocalypse, defeated them in one fell swoop, and then destroyed everything!

—It couldn’t be allowed to escape.

Suddenly.

The entire Sacred Tree shook violently.

Endless, incredibly powerful energy fluctuations permeated the void.

That voice rang out again:

“Humble creature, you could have participated in the greatest endeavor and become the glorious one who frees me, but your ignorance prevents you from achieving greatness.”

“—But it doesn’t matter. I have already prepared for this day. The plan to connect the three realms is about to be realized!”

“Excuse me, please tell me, which three realms are they?” Shen Ye asked, raising his hand.

Shattel gave him a speechless look and whispered:

“Past, present, future.”

So that’s it!

Shen Ye nodded in realization.

The vibrations in the void grew stronger.

So this was a plan the other party had prepared long ago?

—What would happen?

Rumble!

In the void, countless bolts of lightning roared incessantly.

However, nothing happened.

…

Now.

—This was the “present” where everything was happening.

The Shore’s Ferry.

Young Shen Ye suddenly looked out into the void beyond the ship.

The Soul Orb reappeared and spoke:

“As agreed, you must not refuse humans entry to the ship.”

“That’s right,” Shen Ye admitted.

Figure after figure silently appeared behind the Soul Orb.

—These were the “humans” who met all the conditions!

Shen Ye’s gaze swept over them, naturally discerning the “humans” who met the criteria to board the ship, and those who were merely filling in the numbers and pretending to be of them.

“You, you, and you—”

“You may board the ship.”

Shen Ye said.

The “humans” he pointed to vanished from the void, transmited onto the Shore’s Ferry.

“This is just the beginning; more and more ‘people’ will qualify.”

The Soul Orb said.

“That’s excellent,” Shen Ye smiled.

“…Whether you are sincere or not, the winner has been decided. We will head to the future and start anew,” the Soul Orb said.

“Led by me,” Shen Ye added.

The Soul Orb and the “humans” stared at him in silence, their expressions cold.

There was an awkward silence.

Seeing this, Shen Ye slapped his forehead and pulled out a large bomb from his ring.

“This, you see, is called the Divine Might Cannon. It’s the most powerful cannon on the Shore’s Ferry, capable of blasting a lot of junk into smithereens.”

He introduced it.

Silence.

All the “humans” still stared at him coldly, as if looking at a dead man.

“Of course, it’s not just for enemies.”

Shen Ye, seemingly oblivious, continued:

“It’s actually a bomb to destroy the Shore’s Ferry. If the ship’s owner doesn’t want to be threatened by any enemy, they can use it to blow up the ship.”

“It’s very easy to explode, just like this—”

The bomb slipped from Shen Ye’s hand.

It fell towards the floor.

All the “humans” and the Soul Orb watched as the bomb dropped towards the floor.

The impact would destroy the entire ship!

The bomb fell.

Fell.

Fell.

Shen Ye didn’t even look at it, just smiled at the “humans.”

He truly wasn’t looking.

—And he truly had no intention of catching the bomb.

At the last moment.

A blur flashed by Shen Ye’s feet, lying on the ground, holding the bomb in its hands.

—The Soul Orb!

“Damn guy, do you really want to completely sever the path to the future?”

Its face was pale, and its voice trembled slightly.

“You all treat me as nothing anyway, so we might as well all be destroyed,” Shen Ye said.

Another bomb appeared in his hand.

A burst of laughter suddenly erupted from the crowd.

They applauded and walked towards him, their expressions cordial, enthusiastic, and sincere.

“So this handsome man is the ship’s owner.”

A woman said sweetly.

“So cute, so handsome. You must cherish us well, darling,” another woman said.

A man with a pockmarked face squeezed in front of Shen Ye, fawning:

“You are our captain—from now on, I will follow your orders. Just say the word if you need anything!”

“Exactly! We will wholeheartedly follow your lead!” another person said.

The atmosphere was instantly ignited!

Shen Ye looked around at everyone, watching their sycophantic expressions, and only after a long while did he nod in satisfaction.

Good.

They were all acting somewhat human.

The next moment.

Shen Ye suddenly looked up to the other side.

In the dark void.

A giant tree reaching the heavens gradually appeared.

—The Sacred Tree Aspect!

But this was too strange—

He could already sense his other self on the Sacred Tree.

In other words.

The “past” was beginning to overlap with the “present”!

How could this be?

A earth-shattering sound erupted from the Sacred Tree:

“The three realms merge, there shall be no turning back. I shall finally escape from this predicament!”

Shen Ye’s heart clenched.

Three realms?

—Meaning, there was still a future?

In the dark void.

A massive, tightly closed stone gate slowly appeared.

The “Gate of Separation”!

It was this gate that separated the “future” from the “present”!

On the Sacred Tree.

Two world-destroying powers intertwined, spiraling upwards, drawing a perfect arc in the void, and striking the “Gate of Separation.”

Shen Ye’s pupils contracted.

This guy.

It was actually using the destructive power of the High-Dimensional Lord and the Apocalypse to strike the Gate of Separation!

Dong—

In the deafening sound, cracks immediately appeared on the Gate of Separation.

Immediately after.

Another strike came!

Rumble—

The Gate of Separation was shattered.

The Sacred Tree had truly connected the three realms!

At this moment.

Shen Ye completely understood its plan.

Indeed—

The next second.

The Sacred Tree’s voice echoed through the entire void:

“Children, you have gained the qualification to pass through the Age of Entropy, and I have shattered the ‘Gate of Separation’.”

“Go.”

“Go to the future—and summon me there!”

Its voice reverberated throughout the void.

Shattel frowned and said, “Even if it’s summoned to the future by those monsters, the decisive battle between those two hasn’t ended.”

“—It still won’t be able to escape.”

“That’s not it,” Shen Ye interjected. “Those monsters passing through the Age of Entropy is equivalent to it passing through the Age of Entropy.”

“But those two will be blocked by the Age of Entropy.”

“After all, entropy means everything returns to nothingness, even more thoroughly than ‘destruction,’ and it can completely affect their decisive battle.”

“—Even if it only blocks them for a moment, the Sacred Tree will have successfully escaped!”

At the same time.

Future.

—The future had already aligned with the past and present in one dimension.

In this light, the three eras even somewhat resembled “parallel” worlds, but due to different temporal states, they absolutely couldn’t be considered parallel.

In the future—

Good Duck already knew everything.

“Son,” it quacked, “there’s someone incredibly powerful, carrying a huge bladed weapon, coming to get us.”

The voice of the Dharma Realm then rang out:

“I know—it’s that Sacred Tree of Truth. In truth, its power is enough to suppress everything. We have no chance.”

“Don’t be so disheartened, do you not want to live?” Good Duck asked.

“Everything was created by it. If it hadn’t pursued perfection and insisted on understanding the weaknesses of those two—”

“It would be invincible!”

“That powerful?” Good Duck asked.

“Even I was created by it, so what do you think?” The Dharma Realm said.

“That’s not precise. You’re my son, not its son,” Good Duck said, annoyed.

“Prepare to welcome its arrival,” The Dharma Realm sighed.

In the void.

Endless power fluctuations gradually descended, beginning to construct a magnificent teleportation gate.

The monsters were coming.

Once they arrived in the future, they could immediately summon the Sacred Tree of Truth!

“Listen, I have an idea.”

Good Duck said.

“Can you defeat it? That’s impossible,” The Dharma Realm said.

“—It can keep us from dying.”

“Then tell me.”

“First, we must return to the myriad realms, to the time when the True Earth and humanity had just passed through the Aether and were surviving within the myriad realms…”

The two quickly schemed.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

Time flew by.

Suddenly.

A “human” appeared in the future era.

As soon as it appeared, it immediately formed hand seals and shouted:

“Descend, Lord of all achievements, the sole Saint in the void, the Sacred Tree of Truth that evolves all!”

A massive ethereal image of the Sacred Tree rapidly appeared.

—And at the top of the Sacred Tree, the two warring powers indeed did not appear!

It had successfully escaped its predicament.

It was free!

The Sacred Tree’s sigh echoed through the void:

“Finally—”

“Wait, what is this?”

In what was previously a clean void, countless fragments floated.

—Historical fragments.

The Dharma Realm was nowhere to be seen.

Only a black duck stood solemnly, staring coldly at the Sacred Tree.

“It’s over.”

The duck said.

The Sacred Tree quietly sensed everything around it, and whispered:

“No… this isn’t…”

It shook violently a few times, as if trying to break through the void and leave.

But it was no use.

At the top of its tree, two figures continued their ceaseless battle.

Powerful, world-destroying energy fluctuations once again emanated from the treetop, sweeping through the entire void.

The duck said, “This is the future—perhaps you’re disappointed, but for everyone’s good, it’s better to maintain this state.”

Lines of faint text appeared before the duck’s eyes:

“You activated ‘Serpent Chain of Reincarnation, Dharma Realm Overlord’.”

“You merged yourself with the ‘Gate of Wind’.”

“Given that you have merged with the ‘Dharma Realm’, the current Dharma Realm now possesses the power of the ‘Gate of Wind’.”

“You opened the ‘Gate of Wind’, designated it to lead to space-time—”

“The Past Era.”

Yes!

This was Shen Ye’s strategy!

The Dharma Realm permeated the void, omnipresent, covering everything!

Using the Dharma Realm’s characteristic of “being present everywhere”, it activated the power of the “Gate of Wind”!

This way.

Any being that descended into this era would immediately be teleported through the “Gate of Wind” to the other side of the gate.

—Which was the time-space designated by Shen Ye:

The Past Era!

At this very moment.

In the Past Era.

Young Shen Ye had just explained the entire strategic plan to Shattel.

“Arrived in the future… and then immediately teleported to the past era…”

“Isn’t that just going in circles for nothing?”

Shattel asked.

“Yes, isn’t it great if everything stays the same?” Shen Ye said.

Shattel gave him an utterly speechless look.

You—

Is this okay?

This is probably okay.

But—

“It’s probably furious,” Shattel said.

“Exactly, it might take it out on me,” Shen Ye said.

As he spoke.

He held Shattel’s hand with one hand and placed the other on his chest.

“Void Creation of Saints” activated!

“Causes ‘yourself’ and ‘Shattel’, whom you designated, to have their ‘strength’ rise to U-rank.”

In an instant.

Shen Ye’s aura intensified severalfold.

Shattel’s power also slightly increased.

“Do you think I can fight it now?”

Shen Ye asked.

“No,” Shattel shook her head. “You’re still far from it.”

The void trembled.

—The vibrations were ceaseless.

The entire void began to shatter, break apart, revealing endless “emptiness.”

Before an incredibly violent power, even the void itself began to step into destruction!

—It was the Sacred Tree!

It had arrived!

“No other way,” Shen Ye sighed.

The void opened.

Young Shen Ye quietly appeared.

He too had just raised his strength to U-rank through “Void Creation of Saints.”

The two Shen Yes vanished in an instant.

“You are the Eternal Truth Destroyer Beast: Super Saiyan Duck.”

“You have merged two bodies and gained the superimposed attributes and powers of both bodies.”

—The new, integrated Shen Ye then appeared.

“Both of my selves are U-rank. With this superimposed strength, can we fight?”

He asked Shattel.

Shattel’s expression was a little blank.

She couldn’t help but sigh and say:

“I don’t know—ever since you turned the future into the past, you’ve been playing beyond my comprehension—”

“Do you understand what ‘beyond the scope’ means?”

“To me, you’ve already gone beyond the scope, Baxter.”
