Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 313

The ghost fire motorcycle sped through the night.

—After Zhang Xiaoyi and Guo Yunye rode it, it went off to find a charging and refueling station on its own.

Later, it found its way back using Kunlun positioning.

A good mount.

Shen Ye yawned as he twisted the throttle.

Every day was more tiring than work.

Fortunately, everything that needed to be done was handled.

Go back to the hotel to sleep?

Wait a minute.

It would be better to sleep at Xiongmao’s place.

Shen Ye parked the motorcycle, hopped onto the sidewalk, climbed over the wall, and while no one was around, pushed open a door and entered Xiongmao’s office.

This time, the office door was wide open.

Xiongmao Tieren was pacing back and forth in the living room.

“What’s wrong with you?”

Shen Ye asked.

“You’re here! You guys were amazing this time, you actually defeated a world with time laws!” Tieren exclaimed excitedly.

“But we’re a little closer to that terrifying place at the center of the universe,” Shen Ye said.

“Hey! That’s still a long way off. It’s amazing to be alive at this moment!” Tieren gave a thumbs up.

“Alright, thanks for the compliment. I’m going to sleep for a bit now. The money has already been transferred to your account, go check it yourself.”

“No problem, what are friends for? I’ll open the door for you now.”

Tieren opened a door on the wall.

Shen Ye patted his shoulder, yawning, and walked through the door.

Tieren continued to chatter:

“After today, your planet will become a planet of attention, and my business will also improve—”

“Because the Nightmare World has already merged with your world, it can no longer block me!”

Shen Ye suddenly backed out.

“Wait a minute, what did you just say?” he asked.

“I said my office would see great development,” Tieren replied.

“No, the sentence before that.”

“Your planet will become a planet of attention?”

“Yes, that’s what I mean—why will our planet become a planet of attention?” Shen Ye asked curiously.

—Teacher also said that many worlds would visit recently.

“According to legend, insignificant death planets are the easiest to survive because they don’t attract attention.”

Tieren further explained, “Your planet is indeed a death planet, quite insignificant, but you are also so strong that you can defeat a world that controls the laws of time.”

“One day in the future, you may survive from the center of the universe.”

“Of course, you will attract the attention of other planets.”

Shen Ye listened in silence.

Yes.

According to the information he obtained from the book “The End of All Worlds Online”—

“Look for those inconspicuous death planets.”

“That way, you might escape its scrutiny and linger until the next epoch arrives.”

This matched what Tieren said!

So what now?

Sleep.

After all, today’s work was done.

“Alright, I’m going to rest, bye-bye.”

Shen Ye said to Tieren and then walked into the lounge, closing the door tightly.

Inside the villa.

He went straight to the living room and lay down on a wide, comfortable sofa.

He originally wanted to take out his phone and look at it for a while, but after only a few minutes of holding it, the phone dropped onto the sofa.

He was too sleepy.

He simply turned it off.

Sleep.

A night passed.

Morning.

Shen Ye opened his eyes, and for a long time, he didn’t know where he was.

He had a good night’s sleep.

He yawned, got up from the sofa, and found a few bottles of drinks in the refrigerator.

He also made two bowls of instant noodles.

—Eating one always felt a bit incomplete.

Two bowls were truly satisfying.

Full and content.

Feeling refreshed.

He sat and scrolled through his phone for a while.

The World Policy Committee sent an invitation, saying that there would be some pretty important meetings today, and he could attend, but considering that he was the only student member and still in school, he could choose.

What was there to choose?

The “World Policy Committee” sounded like one of those daddy-ish institutions, wielding power and doing all sorts of things in a serious manner.

School was a place that carried beautiful youth!

Of course, he would go to school!

But it was only a little past six in the morning, so there was still some time.

Shen Ye pondered for a moment and pulled out a black invitation card from his embrace.

The surface of the black invitation card was like the universe, with the death planet still slowly moving.

However.

The world of Five Desires and that charging planet had disappeared.

In the darkness.

Stars shone brightly.

There was no longer any planet rushing fiercely.

—The death planet had destroyed two worlds at once, which was quite frightening.

The invitation could not be opened.

“You can only use this invitation at the sixth level of the Dharma Realm… I wonder what will happen.”

Shen Ye stared at the invitation, a little nervous, but also a little expectant.

This invitation came from that existence who had been perched on the crown of the stars, undefeated for thirty thousand years.

He really wanted to know what would happen!

He sighed and put away the invitation.

He had to improve his strength quickly.

Finally, there was one more thing before going to school.

“Delia.”

“I’m here.”

“I’ll find an opportunity today to ask the teacher if there’s a way to unlock your shackles.”

“Don’t expose me for now.”

“Huh? I’m just asking the teacher.”

Delia’s expression, however, was serious, and she earnestly cautioned him:

“No—you absolutely must not tell anyone about me, not even mention my name.”

“Why?” Shen Ye asked, puzzled.

“Because Jixing’s memory has also awakened,” Delia said.

“You mean—Shah Telai right now?” Shen Ye asked in surprise.

“You might not feel it, but I clearly sense a searching spell, faint but present, looking for me,” Delia said.

“But it’s already free, why is it still looking for you?” Shen Ye asked.

“Lillia and I are the double safeguards for the Five Desires Prison World. If one dies, it proves there’s a problem with the prison, and the other will immediately gain all the power of the former, releasing even stronger sealing and imprisonment power.”

Delia quickly continued:

“I am the only one who can suppress its prison.”

“It must find me and kill me to rest assured.”

Shen Ye said, “Then I’ll figure something out myself. I always have to set you free—after all, staying in my 法相 (Fa Xiang, Dharma Aspect/Manifestation) forever isn’t a long-term solution.”

He looked at the shackles on Delia’s hands.

The shackles were already full of cracks.

Perhaps a sharp weapon could cut them off.

“Don’t deliberately look for me either, be careful not to arouse its suspicion—anyway, let’s lie low for a while,” Delia said.

“Is Jixing really that strong?” Shen Ye couldn’t help but ask.

“In our epoch, it was an unbeatable existence. Tens of thousands of worlds had to work together to barely construct Lillia and me to seal it,” Delia said.

“So… it’s not a Dharma Realm Eightfold,” Shen Ye said.

“Of course not, it’s at least a Ninefold, and after awakening its memory, it will gradually adapt to this world and investigate all information about this epoch, so be careful!” Delia said.

At least Dharma Realm Ninefold.

Shen Ye suddenly felt a heavy sense of suffocation.

Delia was right.

He couldn’t reveal any flaws now.

The phone alarm rang.

It was seven o’clock.

Shen Ye snapped back to reality and walked out of the lounge.

Xiongmao Tieren was waiting outside.

“Rested well?”

“Yes, going to school now—by the way, now that you can concentrate on running this place, why don’t you convert it into a hotel?”

“Good idea, let me think about it!”

Shen Ye glanced at the void.

Faint light gathered into small words:

“You have gained complete relaxation and rest, all attributes are fully restored.”

“Currently, you have obtained a random effect:”

“Words Will Prevail.”

“Description: For the next twelve hours, no one will be able to argue with you. If what you say makes sense, the other party will also gain the passive effect of ‘being convinced’.”

—Xiongmao’s door ability was also very strong.

As a future power, the door ability seemed not to be restricted by any magic or power in this epoch.

At least, Shen Ye had not encountered any.

Alright.

Having this effect was a good start to the day.

To school!

Shen Ye returned to the street, summoned the ghost fire motorcycle, and thinking about various things, simply blasted down the street, enjoying the wind.

The ghost fire motorcycle roared as it arrived at the entrance of the World Museum.

Shen Ye suddenly froze.

At the entrance of the museum, almost all the classmates had arrived.

Everyone looked towards the direction the motorcycle was coming from.

The motorcycle’s roar was too loud, and the person was too reckless—

“Sorry for making so much noise!”

Shen Ye quickly put away the motorcycle and unconsciously glanced at Xiao Mengyu.

“Hmph.” Xiao Mengyu glared at him disdainfully and turned her head to look elsewhere.

Shen Ye felt a little awkward and looked at his best friends.

Nangong Sirui, Zhang Xiaoyi, and Guo Yunye, mimicking Xiao Mengyu, all “hmph-ed,” glared at him, and turned their heads aside.

This made it even more awkward.

Fortunately, the appearance of the principal helped Shen Ye a lot.

The principal of Xirang High School, the legendary “Guichai” Qiu Wanchun, personally came before everyone.

“Classmates, your guide, Teacher Yang Yingzhen, is hospitalized.”

“We have absorbed a group of elite teachers, specifically responsible for the teaching tasks of your grade.”

“This is to allow you to grow faster.”

“This teaching reform is timely, as changes in the world are about to come!”

“Everyone must study with all their might!”

“Yes!” Everyone responded in unison.

So many major events had happened in the world that it was impossible to hide them from the public any longer.

Not to mention these most excellent professional seedlings.

They had long known that the world was about to change!

Qiu Wanchun was very satisfied with everyone’s attitude and nodded:

“Very good!”

“You may enter the school.”

He then disappeared.

Everyone walked towards the museum together.

The museum was closed today.

Only a small door was left for internal staff to enter and exit.

The students filed in, followed the old route, came to the spacious exhibition hall, turned past the fire hydrant, went down the stairs, and arrived at the school square.

“The teaching building has indeed been rebuilt.”

“The big hole in the playground has also disappeared. It seems the school has invested heavily this time.”

“I wonder what class it is today.”

“Who cares, as long as we can have class! How many classes have we had since we enrolled?”

“True.”

The students chattered away.

A voice suddenly rang out from the square:

“East One Teaching Building, class starts in thirty minutes.”

“First, warm-up training.”

“Please cross the square and reach the teaching building.”

“Start!”

Along with this voice, rows upon rows of ancient terracotta figures suddenly appeared in the square, clad in armor and wielding various weapons.

Shen Ye’s heart sank, but a closer look revealed “replicas” floating above the heads of these ancient figures, which made him sigh with relief.

Just kidding!

How ferocious were the terracotta figures in the ancient tombs?

He had almost been cut down and killed on the spot several times.

Everyone looked at the dense crowd of terracotta figures in the square, feeling a little intimidated.

“What’s Yun Ye’s profession today?”

Shen Ye asked softly.

“Poodle,” Guo Yunye replied.

“What’s the professional skill? Can you get through?”

“No, it requires cooperation—Shen Ye, can you come with us? I’ll call A Yi.”

“Of course.”

Guo Yunye ran over and whispered a few words into Zhang Xiaoyi’s ear.

Zhang Xiaoyi nodded repeatedly.

At this moment, Nangong Sirui, fanning himself with a paper fan, strode towards the playground.

The terracotta figures drew their weapons and attacked him.

But an invisible shield appeared before him, blocking all attacks.

He just calmly walked past.

“Shen Ye, why aren’t you coming?”

He asked, turning back as he walked towards the teaching building.

Before Shen Ye could speak, Zhou Heng had already jumped out and rushed towards the terracotta figures.

“Everyone go together! It’s hardest to go one by one!”

Zhou Heng shouted loudly.

Everyone thought, that made sense.

The more people who charged, the more the terracotta figures’ attacks would have to be dispersed.

That way, everyone would have a chance to pass!

More and more students rushed into the square.

Shen Ye couldn’t help but look back.

At some point, Xiao Mengyu had walked over, standing beside him, holding a long sword, silent.

“Let’s go together,” Shen Ye said.

“Okay,” Xiao Mengyu said naturally.

“Okay!” Zhang Xiaoyi and Guo Yunye echoed.

Guo Yunye stepped out, holding a tower shield, and shouted, “I’m in front, you follow me.”

He rushed into the array of terracotta figures.

The attacks from the figures immediately poured in.

The tower shield clanged loudly.

Zhang Xiaoyi, being resilient, gritted his teeth and persevered, leading everyone forward.

Shen Ye and Xiao Mengyu exchanged glances.

It seemed they didn’t need to act.

Never mind.

The two simply protected Zhang Xiaoyi’s sides, deflecting the side attacks.

The four of them continued to advance, and they had already covered half the distance.

Suddenly.

Zhou Heng was beaten back by a terracotta warrior, flew back, and stepped on the tower shield, using its momentum to continue forward.

All the attacks that followed immediately fell upon the tower shield.

“Hey! Zhou Heng!”

Zhang Xiaoyi yelled in dissatisfaction.

“I didn’t mean to!” Zhou Heng replied, burying his head and continuing to charge forward.

Zhang Xiaoyi was hit hard for a round, his hands and feet momentarily numb, and he stumbled a few steps.

Shen Ye was about to move up, but then Guo Yunye stepped out.

“I’ll take the hit for a bit—Shen Ye, you guys keep up, A Yi, hurry and recover!”

Guo Yunye shouted loudly.

He stood in front of the four, striding forward quickly.

A strange thing happened.

Along the way, all the terracotta figures they encountered temporarily put away their weapons, allowing them to pass directly.

Shen Ye was a little surprised.

But it was not a good time to ask.

He helped Zhang Xiaoyi, and together with Xiao Mengyu, they rushed across most of the playground.

“My skill’s time is up!” Guo Yunye said in a panic.

“It’s okay, I’ll do it.” Zhang Xiaoyi recovered, holding the shield and continuing to block various attacks, leading the group forward.

Finally.

The four crossed the playground.

“Thanks,” Xiao Mengyu smiled, “I actually didn’t help much.”

“Me too,” Shen Ye said.

“Don’t be modest, if it weren’t for your protection, we would have given up long ago,” Zhang Xiaoyi said.

“Yunye, why didn’t those terracotta figures attack you just now?” Shen Ye asked curiously.

“I’m a VIP now—this identity can last for 10 seconds—if they could speak, they’d even shout ‘VIP, one person’ in unison!” Guo Yunye said.

“You don’t need to turn into a wolf anymore?” Xiao Mengyu also asked.

“Yes, my strength has grown again. I no longer need to transform into a dog to unleash my skills,” Guo Yunye said.

Everyone marveled.

—Such talent was quite rare.

There was still plenty of time before class.

But the students who had passed through the square had all arrived at the classroom.

“Strange, why isn’t there a teacher?”

Guo Yunye looked around curiously.

Someone pointed to the blackboard.

Shen Ye looked at the blackboard and saw a few lines of text:

“Students who have arrived in the classroom:”

“Once you pass the square challenge, you can take out your card, and according to the instructions on it, automatically form groups and gather at the corresponding locations for this year’s learning.”

“The grouping principle will consider your compatibility, the compatibility of your professions, and the teaching methods the teacher is good at.”

“Today’s teaching begins!”

Everyone pulled out their cards.

“I’m going to the bridge; the teacher assigned to me is waiting on the bridge,” Zhang Xiaoyi said.

“Me too!” Guo Yunye shouted excitedly.

Everyone knew they were good friends.

Could this be one of the criteria for grouping?

“I’m at the No. 23 bus terminal.”

“I’m going to the library.”

“Looks like we’re not grouped together. I’m going to the shopping mall in the west of the city.”

The students began chatting.

They left the school gate one after another, heading in all directions of the city.

Shen Ye also glanced at his card, which read:

“Completed the square warm-up.”

“Your grouping has started. Please gather at the Transcendent Internet Cafe behind the school.”

Transcendent Internet Cafe.

Wasn’t that the internet cafe where Zhang Xiaoyi and Guo Yunye often stayed overnight?

Gathering at an internet cafe?

…It felt a little strange.

Shen Ye simply didn’t ride his bike and walked directly along the street towards the back gate of the museum.

A figure suddenly followed.

Nangong Sirui!

“Are you going to the pancake stall at the school’s back gate?” he asked.

“No,” Shen Ye said.

“Me neither,” Nangong Sirui said.

“…” Shen Ye glared at him.

A female voice rang out from behind the two: “Are you going to Zhang’s Breakfast Shop at the school’s back gate?”

Xiao Mengyu.

“No!” Shen Ye and Nangong Sirui both shouted.

“Me neither,” Xiao Mengyu said.

Shen Ye stopped and glared at the two, saying, “I’ll be direct. I’m going to the Transcendent Internet Cafe, what about you two?”

“Yes.” Nangong Sirui nodded cheerfully.

“I am.” Xiao Mengyu’s lips also curved into a smile.

“Looks like the three of us are in one group,” Shen Ye said.

“But what’s the basis for the grouping? Is it strong talent?” Nangong Sirui began to walk forward.

“We were in the top three during the exams, so maybe it’s because of that,” Xiao Mengyu said.

Shen Ye, however, was thinking about something else.

According to the school’s original teaching method, there would generally be large classes in the morning, and in the afternoon, students would follow their respective teachers for small classes.

But now the teaching method had changed.

—Directly implementing efficient elite teaching in a small group model!

He wondered who the teacher of his group would be.

While he was thinking.

The three had already arrived at the Transcendent Internet Cafe at the school’s back gate.

A tall, burly, and dignified man stood at the entrance of the internet cafe.

A green parrot perched on his shoulder.

Shen Ye was startled.

Mogahou!

Why was he here?

Could it be—

“Let me see,” the green parrot shrieked, “Shen Ye, Nangong Sirui, Xiao Mengyu, excellent, from now on, you will take lessons with me.”

Nangong Sirui looked at the green parrot, then at Mogahou.

“No need to look,” the green parrot shrieked, “I’m practicing a special technique and it’s not suitable for me to speak aloud. This parrot is intelligent and can speak for me!”

“—You can call me Teacher Moro!”

Now it was clear.

All three bowed simultaneously: “Greetings, Teacher Moro.”

Shen Ye looked at Mogahou with confusion.

Why?

Would Your Excellency condescend to be a teacher?

Mogahou looked into the internet cafe helplessly.

Shen Ye followed his gaze and looked into the internet cafe.

He saw a slender girl sitting on a chair, typing rapidly with both hands, her eyes fixed on the screen, motionless.

Shah Telai!

Delia said she had awakened her memories!

—But why was she surfing the internet here?

Shen Ye projected his thoughts into his Dharma Aspect.

Delia was hiding in the large box, which was tightly sealed, not revealing a single crack.

She was hiding from Jixing!

Mogahou’s voice rang out again:

“Because of the alliance, the data of this world is open to us.”

“Jixing has been like crazy recently, frantically looking up the origins of various worlds, trying to learn about historical events.”

“Don’t provoke it, its current state isn’t quite right.”

Shen Ye then withdrew his gaze, never looking at Shah Telai again.

But—

How did you end up being a teacher?

“We need to establish new forces, Baxter, that’s why I personally came to select talents.”

So that’s how it was.

Mogahou was different from Jixing.

He valued his subordinates and let them handle many tasks, thereby completing various matters more efficiently.

“Teacher Moro, what are we learning today?” Shen Ye asked.

“Combat.”

The green parrot spat out two words.

The next second.

A strange fluctuation enveloped Shen Ye, Nangong Sirui, and Xiao Mengyu.

“Don’t resist, I’ll take you flying.”

As soon as the words fell.

The three, along with Mogahou, soared into the sky, swiftly sweeping across the entire city, flying towards the remote mountains.

About ten minutes later.

The four landed and stood on a narrow mountain path.

“Teacher.”

Nangong Sirui cupped his hands and said, “According to the second chapter, sixth article of the professional rules, professionals are not allowed to casually display their abilities in the mundane world, as this would cause public fear and unrest, leading to social turmoil.”

“That rule is obsolete. From today onwards, the general public can know everything,” Mogahou’s parrot screeched.

Nangong Sirui paused, then checked his phone.

“It’s actually true…”

He muttered in a daze.

“That’s right, ordinary people should know more.”

“This will allow them to gradually accept the facts, and even if a major change suddenly occurs, they can actively respond and contribute,” the parrot on Mogahou’s shoulder shrieked.

“Teacher Moro, what is our mission?” Xiao Mengyu asked.

“Ten li south, there’s a village where everyone has been killed and is being made into food.”

“This is an insect species that quietly arrived. They didn’t report, didn’t negotiate, and disrespectfully slaughtered an entire village of humans, wanting to build a nest here.”

“What you need to do is to give them a taste of their own medicine and eliminate them.”

“—As a warning to others.”

The green parrot spoke with spittle flying, but Mogahou’s face showed an indifferent expression.

“Xiao Mengyu as scout, Nangong Sirui responsible for support, Shen Ye attacks last.”

“Begin action!”

“Yes!”

Xiao Mengyu was the first to fly south along the mountain path.

Nangong Sirui, holding a painted fan, followed leisurely.

Shen Ye also wanted to move, but Mogahou called him back.

“Baxter!”

Mogahou transmitted his voice via telepathy.

“Your Excellency, I am here.” Shen Ye stopped.

“Perhaps you already know, the ‘Five Desires’ world has been destroyed,” Mogahou said.

“Yes, I know, Your Excellency.”

“What do you think?”

“Whether the Five Desires exist or not, it doesn’t prevent us from living, Your Excellency.”

“Heh, you’re quite optimistic.”

“The universe is too dangerous. When you’re alive, it’s better to live every day to the fullest, because once you’re dead, you’re dead.”

“…Baxter, actually, ‘Five Desires’ was an incredibly powerful prison, and our mission as these strong beings was to guard the monster within the prison.”

“The prison no longer exists, Your Excellency.”

“Are you trying to persuade me, Baxter?”

“Your Excellency, the prison and the monster are things of the past. You should keep up with the times,” Shen Ye advised.

Keeping up with the times…

A glimmer of light flashed in Mogahou’s eyes.

“How to keep up with the times?”

“This planet is actually quite good. Not only has it passed the trial of the Axe of Creation, but there’s also a mysterious place like the Great Tomb hidden within the planet—Your Excellency might as well settle down here, cultivate, explore secrets, and live a comfortable life,” Shen Ye said.

“That monster, imprisoned…”

“The prison is gone, where else would Your Excellency want to capture it?”

“Alas, you are right.”

Mogahou sighed.

A “Convinced” tag suddenly appeared over his head, followed by a duration:

12 hours.

That did it!

—Even a master like Mogahou couldn’t resist the “door” ability!
