Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 302

“Baxter, return to the ‘Five Desires’ world immediately. We need to discuss countermeasures.”

Mogahou drank the source liquid of calamity. The font above his head became larger and bolder, indicating that he was speaking “loudly.”

Alright.

He’s already so good at it.

“Yes, my lord!”

Shen Ye put away his knife, then reluctantly took out the source liquid of calamity and took a sip.

By this time, Mogahou had already teleported back.

Seeing him leave, Shen Ye immediately took out the Death Disguise Cloak and reverted to his vampire form.

—After all, the “Five Desires” side had always thought he was a vampire disguised as a human, not a human disguised as a vampire.

He couldn’t let Mogahou see the cloak.

The next second.

He disappeared from where he stood and reappeared directly in the palace of the Five Desires world.

Professionals coming and going, seeing his return, all immediately bowed respectfully and greeted him:

“Lord Baxter!”

“Hmm,” Shen Ye responded.

Soon, he sensed two extremely powerful energy fluctuations coming from the council hall not far away.

Shen Ye quickened his pace and swiftly arrived at the hall.

He saw that both Mogahou and Shah Telai were there. A professional was kneeling on one knee, reporting the situation.

Both looked at Shen Ye as he arrived, acknowledging his presence.

Mogahou glanced at him and gestured with his chin towards the professional opposite him.

—Meaning, “You brat, listen carefully to the information.”

Shah Telai glanced at him, her eyes darted around, then quickly shot another glance at Mogahou, a faint hint of triumph in her expression.

—This held a lot more meaning.

Shen Ye pretended to know nothing, standing there silently, listening to the professional’s report.

It was nothing more than the rapid movement of the Death Star.

To demonstrate his competence, the professional eloquently described the responses of various professionals to the sudden movement of the Death Star from all angles; he also explored and hypothesized the consequences brought about by the planet’s movement.

He spoke at length for more than ten minutes before finally concluding.

“Hmm, that’s very detailed.”

Mogahou said with satisfaction.

“Boring. What happens on that planet has nothing to do with us,” Shah Telai yawned.

“Lord Baxter always handles things better than us. Shall we ask him to speak?” the professional kneeling on one knee suggested.

Mogahou, however, chuckled and said, “You have dispatched the entire patrol team and used super-large detection spells to observe all aspects of the Death Star. That’s enough.”

Shen Ye nodded, indicating agreement.

—You’ve already dispatched so many people, even describing how the dogs on the street bark. I’m too lazy to say anything more.

Sometimes, it’s best not to be too prominent.

“However, Lord Baxter wasn’t really listening just now; he was playing with his phone,” the professional said.

Mogahou’s smile vanished.

Shah Telai also looked up at Shen Ye.

Shen Ye, however, was stunned, looking at the professional in surprise.

This was a professional with long white hair and a crisp uniform, looking somewhat like a reliable old butler.

Behind this old butler, not far away, stood two rows of professionals.

They were also kneeling on one knee.

—It seemed like a team.

No, you’re gathering information, why are you arguing with me?

“A phone on the Death Star? No signal, Baxter,” Mogahou said.

“My lord, I was just playing some small games,” Shen Ye said.

“My lord,” the white-haired old butler said, “he was looking at pictures of girls. I believe he should join our patrol team and properly learn advanced techniques and some rules, instead of being so undisciplined.”

“—This is for his own good!”

After hearing this, Mogahou looked at Shen Ye again.

Yes.

This kid was still in a soft embrace last time!

Shen Ye saw Mogahou peeking at his phone screen, and feeling helpless, he simply closed his school’s chat group.

—Which normal chat group doesn’t have pictures of girls?

He looked at the old butler again.

—Brother, the leader has praised you. You should be satisfied with that. Why drag me into this?

“Baxter, are you so relaxed? Or rather, do you think they haven’t found the key points?”

Shah Telai suddenly interjected from the side.

Shen Ye sighed.

Mogahou valued his subordinates’ attitudes towards work, and his appreciation for himself was also due to his loyalty.

Shah Telai was different.

She knew that all Baxters were the same person.

She also knew his working style.

Which was—

“My lords, their investigation is too shoddy. I don’t know why we keep such subordinates. Why not kill them—after all, they wasted so much time and resources and found nothing but crap.” Shen Ye said.

“Baxter, you need to provide evidence. If you just talk nonsense like this, it affects our team’s morale, and Lord Mogahou will not stand idly by,” the white-haired butler said.

“The planet is moving. Where will it go? Did you check?” Shen Ye asked.

“We did. Ahead is a sea of asteroids. The impact is minimal, and we can cross it,” the white-haired butler said.

“And what happens after crossing?” Shen Ye asked again.

“It’s very safe,” the white-haired butler said.

“Lord Mogahou, I hope they continue their investigation,” Shen Ye said.

“Why?” Mogahou asked.

“I believe that’s how things should be done: keep investigating until nothing more can be investigated,” Shen Ye said.

Mogahou was still hesitant, but Shah Telai had already laughed.

“Let me do it. I’m good at tracking things in the universe.”

She typed on her head and then performed a spell with both hands.

In the void.

A starry sky quietly appeared.

The Death Star advanced at an extremely slow pace.

“Accelerate.”

“Let me see its trajectory, directly showing its movement over twenty-five days…”

Shah Telai pointed at the air.

The Death Star’s displacement indeed sped up.

It passed through the asteroid sea and continued its forward movement in the vast, boundless darkness.

But there was nothing ahead.

Everyone watched for a while.

The old butler shook his head and said:

“My lords, I already said that Lord Baxter is doing something useless—”

Suddenly.

Behind him, all his colleagues gasped in surprise.

The old butler turned to look.

He saw that in the cosmic light and shadow, the Death Star collided with an unknown planet.

Not only that.

The Five Desires world, which was following closely behind, also crashed into it.

Three planets collided!

The immense shockwave caused the entire spell projection to ripple, distort, and collapse.

Shah Telai immediately withdrew the spell and quickly typed above her head:

“Baxter is right. The Death Star encountered a sniper, and the truth is more than that—”

She was no longer listless; the expression on her face had become incredibly solemn.

“What are you suspecting?” Mogahou asked.

“Sigh, Mogahou, I usually don’t want to criticize you, but today I must—”

“You have too many useless subordinates.”

Shah Telai’s hands moved like afterimages as she cast another spell.

“What are you doing?” Mogahou glared at her, unconvinced.

“Nonsense!” Shah Telai ignored him, “If it weren’t for Baxter, we would still be in the dark—now I need to check where this place actually is!”

“What are you suspecting?” Mogahou asked in surprise.

“The Dharma realm appears!” Shah Telai’s head showed text.

In an instant.

Wωω ▪ttκǎ n ▪C〇ｍ

The entire world turned blank.

This time.

Even Shen Ye opened his eyes wide, looking into the depths of that extremely distant blank world.

“Oh my God…”

Someone couldn’t help but murmur softly.

However, most people remained silent, their eyes fixed on the horizon of the blank Dharma realm.

A rusty, dark red battle axe connected heaven and earth, standing tall and occupying everyone’s sight.

The blade of the dark red giant axe was deeply plunged into the earth, piercing and pinning a female corpse to the ground.

The female corpse had eight arms, all twisted in a climbing posture on the long handle of the giant axe, trying to pull it out.

But the dark red giant axe remained motionless.

The female corpse was helpless, a painful expression appearing on her face—

This was like a lifelike statue.

However, the female corpse’s body was so enormous that even the giant axe, which pierced through heaven and earth, only split open her chest, its blade extending from her chest down to her abdomen.

Blood soaked the axe blade, occasionally flowing down her ribs.

—This female corpse was not a statue, but some unknown life form!

Shen Ye’s heart was inexplicably shaken.

How could the Dharma realm have such a sight?

Not only that.

Beyond this giant axe, in the blank world behind it, white water converged into surging waves, making the sound of the sea, stretching endlessly.

The Dharma realm had also changed—

From blank land to a tumultuous sea!

“The remains of the Axe of Creation… how did we end up here…”

Mogahou said, his voice filled with despair.

Shah Telai also sighed, her spirits low, and said,

“Yes, once you can see the remains of the Axe of Creation in the Dharma realm, then the distance to that existence is not far.”

“Will we die?” Mogahou asked.

“Probably die before even getting close,” Shah Telai said.

Shen Ye was quietly listening to their conversation when Delia’s voice suddenly rang in his ear:

“This is the Axe of Creation. Legend has it that it once opened up the universe we inhabit, causing the endless laws to undergo a similar fusion effect. Everything originated in an explosion, such as gods, sentient beings, and all things.”

“I didn’t expect to hear a word like ‘fusion’,” Shen Ye said.

“It’s just a metaphor, don’t worry about it—once we pass this landmark, we’ll enter a truly dangerous area.”

“The fall of gods is commonplace here, so the central region of this universe is also known as the ‘Sea of Fallen Gods’.”

“Understood, I’ll be careful,” Shen Ye said.

Delia’s voice became extremely vigilant:

“You need to pay attention to another thing—”

“What?”

“Nagas’ soul is too complex and hasn’t awakened yet, but Mogahou’s memory has already recovered.”

Shen Ye immediately became fully alert and asked:

“Recovered? How did he recover?”

“We’ve been here before. He understood as soon as he saw it—look at Mogahou, he’s hesitating whether to fight Nagas,” Delia said.

Shen Ye sneaked a glance at Shah Telai, only to see her frozen in place, her eyes staring into the void, darting back and forth, her lips tightly pressed, seemingly lost in a daze.

Then he looked at Mogahou—

Although Mogahou was not staring at Shah Telai, his expression gradually became solemn, and his hands slowly clenched into fists, as if ready to strike at any moment.

The atmosphere was a bit stagnant.

Suddenly.

Mogahou gritted his teeth and glanced at Shah Telai.

Shah Telai was still observing the changes in the Dharma Realm.

—Mogahou could strike at any moment!

At a critical juncture.

“My lords!”

Shen Ye suddenly shouted, “That spell from the Nightmare world drained too much power from me. I feel weak just standing here now.”

This was the truth.

Even practicing swordsmanship was a desperate effort, nearly being cut down by the clay figures at the end.

—Because he was drained the most severely!

It was thanks to the female spirit術 who gave him the stamina-recovering pills, and that sword technique was truly reliable, that he was able to defeat the clay figures.

This shout interrupted both Mogahou and Shah Telai’s thoughts.

“I also had a lot of power drained, and I haven’t recovered yet—everyone is like this.”

Shah Telai said with a solemn tone, looking at the Axe of Creation in the distance.

Shen Ye immediately asked again, “What exactly will happen? Will enemies come to kill us? How strong are they?”

Mogahou couldn’t help but look towards the Dharma realm as well.

The strength of the enemy…

Yes.

The closer one got to that place, the closer one came to death.

Fight what?

Everyone’s strength was greatly diminished, and it would take some time to recover.

What if an enemy came to provoke them—

If he fought Nagas now, even if he won in the end, he would end up in a situation where he could be slaughtered at will.

“Do you see that axe? The Dharma Realm has condensed a rule of war here, which is that one world must fall before other worlds can pass through.”

“The world that crashed into the Death Star must have known that this was the ‘Sea of Fallen Gods’ long ago.”

“So it took the initiative to attack!”

Mogahou typed quickly.

“What if none of the worlds that moved here fell?” Shen Ye asked.

“The female corpse suppressed beneath the Axe of Creation will awaken—”

“Because no world died, she won’t receive a sacrifice, and will resentfully release an irresistible spell, causing the power of the Dharma realm to wash over every world here, and everyone will die!”

Mogahou continued typing.

Yes.

He knew everything!

Nagas, however, had not yet awakened its memories, because its soul was too multifaceted.

The initiative in battle was in his hands!

“If that’s the case, we should immediately inform the Death Star and unite with them to face this war,” Shen Ye said.

“Why?” Shah Telai asked.

“—Compared to them, isn’t our ‘Five Desires’ world in the worst situation?” Shen Ye said.

Both of them were startled.

Shen Ye, however, disregarded their loss of face and continued in a deep voice:

“Lord Lilith, Lord Tianluo, Lord Taiyan have all fallen in battle. We only have two lords who can fight in high-end battles.”

“Both of you are not in prime fighting condition.”

“Fortunately, Lord Mogahou asked me to do something—”

“Lord Mogahou previously asked me to negotiate with the Death Star, and I have already reached an agreement to put aside disputes and jointly deal with external enemies—Lord should remember this.”

Mogahou nodded, rapidly contemplating the current situation.

Yes.

Other wardens were dead.

Even their memories were altered, ultimately dying without any value.

Was he also to suffer this fate?

“That agreement was merely a pretense. Why should we fulfill its obligations?” Shah Telai stared at Shen Ye, her tone severe.

“My lord, isn’t it obvious?”

Shen Ye met her gaze without fear and continued:

“They have assimilated the Nightmare world, gained powerful deities like the Earth Mother, and may even have acquired the legendary Nightmare Scythe. The world has a large number of professionals, terrifying Imperial cosmic worms beneath the Great Tomb, and unknown powers in the depths of the Great Tomb.”

“—Uniting with such a powerful world serves our interests!”

“If we don’t seize the initiative—”

“Once that warrior planet realizes it cannot defeat the Death Star, they will unite and come to annihilate us. What will we do then?”

“—After all, only one world needs to be sacrificed for the other worlds to pass through here.”

“How dare they? I alone can deal with them,” Shah Telai sneered.

Shen Ye immediately picked up on her words:

“My lord, I see something amiss with the state of the Dharma Realm. I don’t know what terrifying things will happen after this battle.”

“So, finding a strong enough ally to save your strength and consumption on the front lines, and to use them as scapegoats at critical moments—”

“Isn’t that a good strategy?”

“My lord, stop worrying about your pride. All of this is about survival!”

Shah Telai was speechless.

Yes.

The path to the Crown of Stars was full of dangers, and if that existence’s task was messed up, who knew what situation they would face.

Baxter didn’t know this secret.

But being prepared was right!

“Mogahou, what do you think?”

Shah Telai typed slowly.

Mogahou glanced at her, the sneer at the corner of his mouth secretly receding.

Very clearly.

This was a monster’s moment of weakness.

—Even a monster that made all worlds tremble, confined in the deep prison of the Five Desires, had never feared anything.

But now, it too was afraid of that being, like him, and dared not act recklessly.

It remembered nothing.

The choice was in his hands.

Cooperate, or find a way to imprison it?

No…

As Baxter said, the current situation required borrowing strength to fight.

Choose the optimal strategy to survive first.

After all, if he died, he wouldn’t be able to achieve anything.

Survive!

“Let Baxter go and talk to them—tell them about that planet, consider it our ‘Five Desires’ goodwill, and then formally form an alliance.”

Mogahou’s head showed text.

Shah Telai listened and nodded slightly.

—Mogahou was always so ignorant and cowardly.

It was a disgrace to be a warden and have to follow someone like that.

But now, circumstances dictated.

Make good use of him—

Everything was to conserve energy, restore strength, and prepare for more perilous situations.

She convinced herself of this and then typed again:

“Our current state is indeed not suitable for socializing.”

Typing on one’s head was too lacking in momentum.

Speaking aloud would make the situation even worse.

Mogahou also thought of this.

The two subconsciously looked at everyone in the hall together—

Those patrol team guys were useless; they didn’t even find any important information.

…It still had to be Baxter.

Mogahou typed in bold and enlarged font:

“I order you to act as the head of the‘Five Desires’ mission, and immediately lead the team to meet the powerhouses of the Death Star. It is imperative that you sign the alliance.”

“Baxter, can you do it?”

“Don’t worry, my lords,” Shen Ye smiled, “The matter was settled back then. They will gladly sign the contract with me.”

“How could that be! Such a big matter!” The old butler stood up and shouted, “The other party must have deceived you—empty words!”

“And you’re only at Dharma Realm Triple Cultivation. Why would a Dharma Realm Eightfold expert listen to you? That’s too strange!”

“Normally, such a conversation with too great a difference in power would even be considered an insult by the other party!”

Straight to the point.

Strength represented the right to speak.

Suppose two entities are negotiating business. If you send a security guard to talk about cooperation with the CEO of a company, how can that be successful?

The two big bosses looked at Shen Ye together.

Delia, hidden within Shen Ye’s Dharma Aspect, nervously swallowed.

Even Shen Ye himself couldn’t help but secretly applaud.

So strong.

This old man instantly grasped the key point.

“To be honest—”

Shen Ye began:

“You servants, have you ever seen the Death Star at four in the morning?”

The old butler was stunned, not knowing what he was talking about.

Four in the morning?

Could the Death Star be different at four in the morning?

Shen Ye continued:

“I know what the Death Star looks like at four in the morning.”

“Baxter, what do you want to say?” Shah Telai asked, staring at him.

—In the current situation, if a subordinate at Dharma Realm Triple dared to deceive her, she would not hesitate to devour them.

“My lord, I just want to say that their professional attitude is truly terrible. With such a level, they dare to question me.”

Shen Ye continued with a relaxed smile:

“At four in the morning, what were you all doing? Please answer this question—don’t rush, my lord, I will give you a satisfactory answer.”

Mogahou gave Shah Telai a glare.

Baxter is doing quite well. What’s with that killing intent on you?

Healthy competition among subordinates is a good thing.

But you attacking people right away is not right.

“At four in the morning, if nothing’s happening, I should be meditating,” Mogahou said.

Once he spoke, others had no choice but to follow suit.

“I was sleeping,” the old butler said.

“Me too.”

“I might have woken up, went to the bathroom, and then went back to sleep.”

“If there’s no mission, I should be pulling an all-nighter playing a new game.”

“I was sleeping.”

—In front of Mogahou, no one dared to lie.

Shah Telai also felt that her attitude just now was a bit excessive.

If the other party had no problem.

If she immediately acted like she was going to devour the other party, it might cause the other party to lean towards Mogahou.

Didn’t Mogahou protect him at the first opportunity?

“At four in the morning, I was drinking in the castle of the Nightmare world.”

She typed this out, giving Shen Ye some face.

Shen Ye smiled.

“Everyone, I was still attacking the Death Star at four in the morning.”

“When you were all resting, I was playing basket—no, I was building relationships, friendships, and bonds with the strong individuals of the Nightmare world.”

“Except for missions, at any other time, I was on the Death Star, integrating myself into it, deeply understanding everything about them.”

“I did not rest!”

Everyone was startled.

So that means…

Could it be!

“You’ve known that expert from the Death Star for a long time!” the old butler sternly exclaimed.

Shen Ye maintained his smile, facing Mogahou and said:

“My lord, I hope you will use the strictest methods to verify my words.”

“Speak. Nothing can be hidden from me,” Mogahou said.

He formed a seal with his hands, cast a spell, and then couldn’t help but glance at Shah Telai.

Shah Telai understood.

Discerning truth from falsehood at the soul level was her specialty.

No matter what Baxter wanted to say, he wouldn’t be able to deceive her.

This matter was of great importance, and she and Mogahou would jointly verify it—

He couldn’t possibly lie in front of them!

“Everyone, I have an identity on the Death Star, which Lord Mogahou also knows—”

“I am a student at Xirang High School.”

Shen Ye said.

Mogahou nodded.

Shah Telai remained silent.

“My teacher is one of the strongest people in the world,” Shen Ye said.

“The man who invaded ‘Five Desires’ and was unstoppable, is he your teacher?” Mogahou asked.

“Yes,” Shen Ye said.

A commotion.

Mogahou cautiously took a step back.

Shah Telai still said nothing.

The old butler suddenly stood up and angrily shouted:

“There’s a very obvious problem here! Perhaps you were one of them all along! You are a spy from the Death Star!”

Shen Ye, still smiling, walked in front of Mogahou and Shah Telai, and whispered:

“My lords, I am not from the Death Star.”

Mogahou looked at the magical fluctuations in his hands.

Shah Telai continued to remain silent.

“I infiltrated the Death Star, using the identity of ‘Shen Ye’, and integrated into the human world.”

Mogahou quieted down.

Shah Telai was silent.

—Because there were no lies.

“Perhaps you are Shen Ye! You infiltrated us—” the old butler asked.

“I am not,” Shen Ye interrupted him.

The old butler said, “Then how do you prove yourself—”

“Shut up!”

Shen Ye interrupted him again, disdainfully saying:

“Don’t cause trouble here. I’m not ‘Shen Ye’ at all. The real ‘Shen Ye’ died long ago.”

“I just secretly took his place.”

The whole room was silent.

Shen Ye took a deep breath and shouted loudly:

“I am not the human Shen Ye! I just used this identity to enter the Death Star and integrate into the human world!”

“Repeat it again.”

“I!”

“Am not!”

“The Death Star—”

“Human!”

“Shen Ye!!!!”

His voice echoed throughout the hall.

Seeing him so confident, people couldn’t help but look at Mogahou and Shah Telai.

The two big bosses looked at each other and nodded slightly.

—No problem!

A silent stir.

Even the old butler couldn’t remain calm.

—Is there really such a genius spy?

Shen Ye quickly calmed down and continued:

“I underwent many trials on the Death Star and almost got killed many times.”

“But I persevered and gained a lot. This is the result of my hard work, and you only question me here.”

“—You can’t find anything.”

“Only deal with your own people.”

“My lords, my secret identity has now been exposed. If I go to the Death Star again and my identity is revealed, my teacher will kill me without hesitation.”

“So—”

Shen Ye took out a bottle of calamity source liquid and opened the cap.

The old butler hurriedly shouted, “Don’t let him escape, my lords! Even if he succeeded in infiltrating, wanting to escape now must be due to a guilty conscience!”

Crash!

Shen Ye threw the calamity source liquid, and it shattered on the ground.

The glass bottle instantly broke.

The disaster source liquid flowed all over the floor.

The old butler was stunned.

Everyone was stunned.

“My identity has been publicly exposed, so it is no longer suitable for me to go to the Death Star.”

Shen Ye’s voice turned cold:

“To ensure the smooth progress of the plan, a change of personnel is required.”

“If I go again and am exposed, the other party will surely think that our ‘Five Desires’ are deceiving them and harbor ill intentions.”

“Please, my lords, replace the messenger going to the Death Star.”

“—As for me, I’ll just stay here.”

“Honestly, I don’t want to die.”
