Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 316

The peaks of the mountains.

Easy for stargazing.

This place was originally a training dojo for an ancient aristocratic family.

However, as time passed, the family declined, their descendants withered, and finally, during a great calamity, they were washed away by wind and rain.

For nearly two hundred years, no one had lived here.

But Delia liked it here.

She settled herself in this place, set up various sacred-side techniques, cleaned the entire abandoned building, placed warning spells, and installed defensive sacred artifacts.

In the dead of night.

The initial work was completed.

Time to rest.

Delia stood under the eaves, looked up at the vast starry river for a while, and began to look forward to every day in the future.

“Go to sleep…”

She whispered.

With a wave of her hand.

Various restrictions quietly opened, and the entire building became private and unobservable.

Back in her room, Delia lay on the large, soft bed, closing her eyes, and was soon about to fall into a deep sleep.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

She slowly raised her hand, her ten fingers interlacing continuously, beginning to perform a spell.

It had no power, nor did it consume any mental energy, so the shackles would not hinder its unfolding.

—The Art of Recording.

This was her habit.

From a very young age, other angels told her to learn to record her every day.

Recording is sacred, it is part of the precepts, it is like a mirror, allowing you to re-examine everything that happened yesterday when you wake up tomorrow.

Observation, repentance, asceticism, prayer.

This is the ritual of sacred practice.

Her fingers slowly steadied.

The spell was gradually completed.

It was a small ball emitting a holy white light, floating above the large bed, recording all the important events of the day.

When she woke up tomorrow, she could use it to review everything from yesterday.

That was the first step of holy prayer.

This is how angels began their practice each day.

Delia retracted her hand, turned over, and peacefully fell into slumber.

Time slowly passed.

In the dead of night.

A new “person” sat up from the bed.

It hunched over the edge of the bed, vomiting profusely.

Black viscous liquid rapidly covered the floor, spreading outwards.

Thud.

A dull sound.

A round object appeared on the floor.

“Who told you to come back?”

The person on the bed gasped, asking in a voice full of murderous intent.

The round object on the floor jumped up, emitting a sharp shriek in mid-air:

“You can’t blame me! The mission is complete, Shah Telai knows nothing, she has gone to her death!”

“You’re quite clever.” The “person” on the bed snorted.

“I am you—don’t kill me! I can still be useful in the future!”

Under the illumination of that ball of white light, the round object became clearly visible.

—It was a human head.

The head of Mogahou.

“‘Wrathful Devourer’?” the person on the bed asked.

“Shah Telai created a spell, drawing all of the ‘Wrathful Devourer’, making it her own.”

“Tsk tsk, honestly—” the head continued, “Shah Telai’s talent is truly high, she not only explored the power of devouring personalities, but also promoted her profession to a higher level, I’m sure you felt it too!”

“Did you see the secret of professional advancement?” the person on the bed asked.

“No, I didn’t—wait! Among all personalities, only I can monitor the daily activities of other personalities, you need me! You can’t just kill me like this!” the head said.

The person on the bed seemed to smile, and slowly said:

“Three personalities, the ‘Wrathful Devourer’s’ talent is rapid strength enhancement, the ‘Snake Woman’ is a genius personality that awakens after reaching a certain level of strength, even close to surpassing me—”

“And you, ‘Treacherous Traitor’, you monitor everything for me.”

The head quickly interjected: “‘Snake Woman’ is too dangerous, her death is deserved, but I don’t have such great talent, I will continue to follow you in the future!”

Snap.

A crisp sound.

Blood mist exploded.

The head fell to the ground.

Then, flames crackled and burned on the ground.

“I hate ‘traitors’,” the person on the bed said, “the act of betraying oneself is truly disgusting to me.”

“—I’ll do it myself, I won’t need you anymore.”

The fire burned for a while, then gradually extinguished.

The person on the bed reached out, took Delia’s recording spell into their hand, and slowly examined it.

“Shen Ye… how did he get the ‘Lifeless Master’?”

“Quite strange.”

“Looks like I’ll have to go ask him properly.”

A gust of wind blew past.

The person on the bed disappeared.

Only the recording spell still glowed faintly, floating in mid-air.

…

On the other side.

Shen Ye turned off his phone alarm.

Every day at 23:57, the alarm would sound to remind him that he was about to be able to access the terms.

Now.

The time had arrived.

But now there was a new problem.

Shah Telai’s “End of Dream” also activated every night at midnight.

She died just like that…

Unimaginable.

A sense of urgency suddenly welled up in Shen Ye’s heart.

Although the switching between multiple personalities does not allow for shared memories, if I were Mogahou—

I would definitely record everything with my phone’s video.

—I have ways to deal with it, is Mogahou stupid?

Therefore.

Now, at this very moment, with Delia, if her main personality awakens, she might have already managed to obtain all the information.

She would come for him!

Shen Ye stood up, pressed the door of the tomb chamber, and simultaneously activated “Non-Dual Dharma Gate.”

He then went down a level, to the second floor, and reset the return teleportation coordinates.

The time was just right.

Midnight.

An unusual fluctuation immediately emanated from Shen Ye.

A faint light appeared as lines of small script:

“Mogahou’s End of Dream is about to activate.”

“Activate?”

—It was quite gentle, first asking if he wanted to activate it.

Right now, he didn’t need to watch Shah Telai’s combat footage.

It was better to go to the World Graveyard first.

Get the terms, avoid Mogahou.

Shen Ye summoned a door, and was about to step through it, when he suddenly had a change of mind.

“Activate End of Dream.”

He uttered.

Before his voice faded, the faint script floating in the void immediately transformed into a new prompt:

“Your brain will undergo deep activation, operating at high speed for one second, acquiring special memories, and completing today’s inheritance.”

In an instant.

Shen Ye found that everything around him had changed.

He stood in the vast and boundless hell.

Human heads covered the ground and sky.

Shah Telai stood not far away, her hands constantly performing spells.

“Lilith gave me inspiration.”

She spoke.

“While I have this free time, I’ll also set up a life-saving backup for myself—”

Her back slowly rose high.

Dozens of human heads recited a chant in unison.

Shah Telai’s arm suddenly extended, becoming like a blade, reaching behind her, and severing a head.

She held the head in her hand, facing Shen Ye.

A familiar throbbing sound came from within the head.

Shen Ye was stunned for a moment, then realized.

—This was it!

Shah Telai was also one of Mogahou’s personalities; no matter how powerful and arrogant she was, before a battle challenging the strongest being in the universe, she would also find a way to leave herself an escape route.

At that time, with Mogahou present, she hadn’t said much.

But this backup was indeed given to him—

She thought he was a reliable subordinate!

Shen Ye’s confusion lessened a bit, and he stared intently at the human head.

Shah Telai spoke:

“This head gathers many powers.”

“Look, its skull has no brain, only my heart.”

“Hell is inauspicious, I will take it back to the human world, embed it in the wall behind the portrait in the bedroom of the Countess of Nightmare World’s mansion.”

She stepped forward, holding the head in one hand, her other hand forming a blade-like gesture, pointing at Shen Ye’s glabella.

“This spell can activate my heart, making it beat again.”

“Remember.”

As her voice fell.

A method for operating the spell immediately appeared in Shen Ye’s mind.

It was quite simple.

As he struggled to memorize the spell, everything around him disappeared.

A flash.

He was still standing in the tomb chamber on the second floor of the great tomb.

Time—

“00:01.”

Only one second had passed.

What now? Go to the World Graveyard, or revive Shah Telai?

Before Shen Ye could even ponder, the Female Spirit-master’s voice sounded:

“So fast—”

“A being has entered the Great Tomb and is rapidly advancing towards the first floor of the Great Tomb, it has already reached the first floor!”

Without further ado, Shen Ye directly opened another door and stepped in.

Xirang High.

Dormitory.

Nangong Sirui was not there.

As soon as Shen Ye appeared, another person quietly appeared in the room.

Song Yinchen.

“Why are you here?” Shen Ye was surprised.

“I felt you were very worried, as if you needed help with something—don’t laugh at me, I’m best at reading people’s expressions.” Song Yinchen whispered.

“I do need to go to the Nightmare World, I haven’t been there since they merged.” Shen Ye said.

“Let’s go!”

Song Yinchen grabbed Shen Ye, stepped into the void, and immediately landed amidst lush green mountains.

—This was the Pháp Giới (Dharma Realm)!

A brocade carp appeared under their feet.

The large red and white fish carried them soaring into the sky, flying towards the depths of the Dharma Realm shrouded in morning light.

wωw●TTKдN●C 〇

The wind gently caressed the girl’s hair.

While discerning the direction, she spoke:

“After the Nightmare World merged, it became the ‘inner’ world, and outsiders are temporarily not allowed to enter.” “Currently, only Heavenly Kings can pass through.”

“Why are you going to the Nightmare World?”

“For an urgent matter.” Shen Ye said.

Song Yinchen’s lips curved into a smile.

See?

I understand Brother Shen Ye best.

“Do you need to fight?” she asked.

“Pray there’s no fighting—honestly, if the situation wasn’t so urgent, I wouldn’t want to get you involved.” Shen Ye said.

“It’s fine,” the girl said without looking back.

Ahead, a brilliant light connecting heaven and earth suddenly appeared.

“We’re going in!”

“Okay!”

The brocade carp quickly flapped its tail, sped up, and instantly passed through the wall of light.

The surrounding scenery shifted.

Shen Ye identified his location and found himself in the territory of the beastmen.

“Fly that way! We need to go to the territory of the undead!”

He shouted in mid-air.

Song Yinchen controlled the brocade carp to change direction and asked curiously:

“How do you know that’s the undead’s territory?”

“Flew over it many times!”

“Tell me about it later.”

The brocade carp’s speed was extreme, transforming into a colorful shadow in the sky, flying forward continuously.

Finally.

An undead city appeared ahead.

Shen Ye took off the large gold chain on his neck, and his entire being transformed into the appearance of a vampire.

“Huh? Brother Shen Ye, what’s this?”

“The effect of an item—let’s go down, we need to go over there, to that location with the teleportation array.”

“Okay!”

The two flew down.

Several undead guards, seeing the two, were about to question them when they suddenly recognized Shen Ye’s appearance.

“Respected Divina Baxter!”

They saluted in unison.

Song Yinchen covered her mouth in surprise.

“Teleport to Evernight City, chop chop!” Shen Ye threw over a bone coin.

“Yes!”

The teleportation array quickly activated.

“You’re a Divina?” Song Yinchen whispered.

“Part-time.”

“How much to sing a song? I want to make a request.”

“I sing to kill people.”

“Oh, oh, never mind then.”

While the two were talking, the teleportation activated!

Space shifted.

They instantly arrived in the Imperial Capital.

“Go!”

Shen Ye jumped off the teleportation array and sped towards the Countess’s castle.

Song Yinchen followed closely.

Mid-journey, the Underworld Lord Mixtecatihual suddenly caught up.

“What happened?”

She asked.

Song Yinchen looked at the deity, then at Shen Ye.

“Everyone hide, perhaps the true Mogahou will come over soon, it’s much stronger than the Mogahou you know.”

ωωω ⊙тtkan ⊙CΟ

Shen Ye spoke quickly.

Mixtecatihual knew everything, and upon hearing this, immediately reacted and asked:

“Is it its main personality?”

“Yes,” Shen Ye said.

“I’ll evacuate everyone immediately.” Mixtecatihual’s figure flickered and disappeared.

The Countess’s castle was already visible ahead.

Shen Ye sped up, flew over the wall, and landed directly on the castle’s terrace.

“This is it!”

“What is this place?”

“A monster’s nest.”

“…”

The two spoke as they swiftly moved through the castle.

They entered the Countess’s bedroom and found the portrait of Shah Telai on the wall.

Shen Ye took down the painting and pressed hard on the wall behind it.

The wall immediately cracked open.

A box came into view.

He took out the box, opened it, and indeed found a human head inside.

A sudden change occurred—

The shrill cry of the Underworld Lord Mixtecatihual suddenly echoed, carrying a strong sense of warning, throughout the entire Evernight City.

It’s here!

Shen Ye’s expression changed, and without hesitation, he put away the human head, grabbed Song Yinchen, and forcefully pushed against the side!

A door had just appeared when it was forced open.

He rushed into the door with Song Yinchen and the human head.

—Is there enough time?

What if there isn’t?

The opponent is a being beyond the ninth level of the Dharma Realm!

To be safe, the moment he passed through the door, he immediately activated his door ability—

Time Fluid!

—This was the power of the future era!

In an instant.

Shen Ye found that everything around him had fallen into a state of stasis.

Whether it was Song Yinchen, who looked a bit bewildered and flustered, or the human head in his hands, or the black shadow that had just appeared in mid-air.

A completely unfamiliar entity had just followed him through the door, circled in mid-air to block his way.

Its entire body was wrapped in black rune patterns, only a humanoid shape could be seen, but its face was invisible.

Three seconds!

These were three life-saving seconds!

If Shen Ye hadn’t released “Time Fluid” for safety, he would have been caught by the opponent by now!

“Door!”

He silently called out.

Another door appeared in front of Shen Ye.

Shen Ye led Song Yinchen into the door.

The door disappeared.

Time was up.

Everything returned to normal.

The black figure landed, finding itself in the dormitory of Xirang High School.

And that boy named Shen Ye, who had clearly been caught and blocked by it, and was about to be captured.

—He had suddenly disappeared.

“Is this the so-called ‘door’ ability?”

A spell arose in the black figure’s hand.

In the blink of an eye.

The entire world was scanned.

“Not in this world… According to Delia’s memories, he can go to the World Graveyard, so he should be in the World Graveyard right now!”

The black figure was about to move but suddenly looked up.

—Something was coming!

It raised both hands and quickly tapped in the void.

Twelve Lunar Divine Arrows had just appeared when they were all struck by it, instantly shattering into icy mist.

“Hmph, a mere trick.”

The black figure said.

But then a whip suddenly appeared behind it, striking it fiercely.

On the other side.

World Graveyard.

Shen Ye suddenly realized something.

The opponent moved too fast.

If he just kept running head-down like this, he would never escape!

He drew out his Guanghan Bow, pointed it directly at the sky, and with all his might, shot an arrow—

Inter-world archery—

Star Edge!

A sharp, icy streak instantly shot into the sky, dividing into twelve, like blooming ice flowers, drawing elegant arcs in the void, piercing through worlds in an instant, destination unknown.

Song Yinchen watched with sparkling eyes from the side.

“So that’s how inter-world power is used, Brother Shen Ye is really amazing!”

She said, full of admiration, and casually pulled out a long whip, swinging it forcefully into the void—

The whip also disappeared into the void.

Then.

As if something had grabbed it.

Song Yinchen immediately let go.

The next moment, the whip was immediately pulled into the void.

“Go!”

Shen Ye grabbed her hand and entered another door.

The door disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, the black figure appeared in the World Graveyard.

It emitted a vast and magnificent aura of power, as if it had exhausted all its strength to arrive here.

“He ran away again… left this world.”

“That move is truly brilliant.”

“But what is the activation mechanism of this ‘door’ ability?”

The black figure fell into thought.

If Shen Ye’s door could link two worlds, then what would be the consequence if it destroyed one of them?

Could it stop him from traversing like this again?

“Little mouse, I wonder how you’re going to escape next…”

The black figure placed its hand on the ground.

After a few breaths.

The ground subtly trembled.

It was done.

This graveyard of buried worlds would rapidly decay, wither, and perish.

In about ten minutes.

It would completely contract, collapse, and turn to dust in the universe.

“It’s a long night, we have plenty of time for a game of cat and mouse.”

The black figure said with satisfaction.

On the other side.

Panda Office.

Shen Ye appeared with Song Yinchen.

He pushed open the door and entered.

“Eh, eh, eh? Is this sister-in-law?” Panda Tieren asked.

“Can your office travel to the Death Planet?” Shen Ye asked directly.

“Only to the panda exhibit at Yujing City Zoo,” Tieren said.

“Good, please send us there, it’s urgent.”

“No problem!”

The panda pulled open the back door of the room and made a gesture of invitation.

Song Yinchen looked at the panda curiously.

So interesting.

The markings on this panda looked so familiar.

Wasn’t it the male lead in that famous panda breeding science film?

So it could talk!

Seeing Song Yinchen staring at him, Tieren friendly waved his paw:

“I’m Tieren, you’re busy this time, I’ll treat you well next time you come.”

“Thank you, Tieren.”

That was all that needed to be said.

Shen Ye had already led her out of that door.

Outside was indeed the panda exhibit at the zoo.

“Yinchen, immediately go tell my teacher, tell all the masters, that ‘Mogahou’s main personality has awakened’, teacher will know what it means!”

Shen Ye said quickly.

“Okay!” Song Yinchen knew this matter must be extremely important, immediately agreed, activated “Dharma Realm Shuttle,” and instantly left.

Shen Ye then lowered his voice and said, “Door!”

Another door quietly appeared.

For now, the safest place was still the second floor of the Great Tomb.

A teleportation gate was set up from the first floor down to the second, directly leading to the tomb guard barracks on the first floor.

And there was also the Spirit-master scanning the entire area.

—First to the Great Tomb!

Shen Ye stepped through the door, arriving at the tomb chamber on the second floor of the Great Tomb.

“Sister Spirit-master, tell me directly if anyone comes.”

“Okay!” the Female Spirit-master assented.

Shen Ye placed the human head on the table and began to perform the secret revitalization technique that Shah Telai had taught him.

If he had hesitated before, now, after encountering Mogahou’s main personality, he had a general feeling.

—The opponent’s strength was too great, completely overwhelming skill with brute force, and it was only a matter of time before he was caught.

He needed a helper who could stop the opponent!

The fluctuations of the spell echoed in the tomb chamber.

At a certain moment.

The heartbeat within that human head suddenly accelerated, bursting out of the skull, releasing tangled blood vessels that all plunged into the head.

The head was instantly completely absorbed.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The heart’s beating grew stronger and stronger.

Bones, organs, flesh, grew rapidly, forming a human shape once again.

Skin, hair, and facial features were also perfected.

“Snake Woman” Shah Telai!

She was resurrected!

Shen Ye took out a set of oversized clothes.

Shah Telai reached out, and the clothes immediately flew towards her, transforming into countless threads in mid-air, reforming into a brilliant red robe.

Shah Telai, draped in the brilliant red robe, asked:

“What’s the situation now?”

“My lady, your main personality has awakened, everything was set up by it,” Shen Ye said.

“Tell me in detail,” Shah Telai said.

Shen Ye then, without reservation, recounted all his deductions and the situation he had just encountered.

He only omitted the fact that he was the second “Lifeless Soul Master.”

Shah Telai listened quietly, without asking questions.

Until Shen Ye finished speaking.

“Baxter, do you have any suggestions regarding the current situation?”

She asked with a calm expression.

“I suggest you bestow the ‘Lifeless Soul Master’ profession upon me,” Shen Ye said solemnly.

—This was the only chance.

He was loyal, and had even completed the mission of resurrecting Shah Telai in her time of crisis.

This was the best opportunity—

—To plug that loophole!

“You want to become the ‘Lifeless Soul Master’? Why?” Shah Telai asked in surprise.

“Because after I take up the profession, I can mislead that main personality, attract its attention, and buy you time; you need time to recover your strength.” Shen Ye said.

Shah Telai mused:

“The more people take up the profession, the more it disperses its energy.”

“Yes,” Shen Ye said.

Shah Telai said nothing more, casually took out a blank nightmare crystal, closed her eyes slightly, and poured some kind of knowledge and skill into it.

Before long.

The nightmare crystal glowed with a faint, dark gold light.

Dark gold.

Shah Telai threw this crystal to Shen Ye.

Shen Ye was stunned.

“My lady, you just gave it to me so easily?” he asked.

“Otherwise?” Shah Telai said in a matter-of-fact tone, “Since you want this profession, you must have considered it thoroughly, and I don’t want to spend time thinking about these things.”

“You’ve always handled matters without issue, every single one perfectly.”

“—I’m leaving it to you.”

After she finished speaking, she slowly raised her head and looked towards the ceiling.

“And what you said, I already know.”

“You know?” Shen Ye was surprised.

“Long ago, I was the most outstanding of Mogahou—I surpassed Mogahou’s original main personality, and I controlled the body for longer and longer periods, which caused its anxiety and fear.”

Shah Telai showed a sardonic expression.

“Everything was planned by it, and I merely played along.”

“So—”

“Even if you didn’t resurrect me this time, I would have other ways to revive.”

“As for leaving you the End of Dream, it was a sudden whim of mine, to see if there truly were trustworthy subordinates in this world.”

“You’re very impressive, Baxter.”

Boom—

A deafening sound came from above the Great Tomb.

The Female Spirit-master urgently spoke in Shen Ye’s ear:

“That guy is here!”

Shen Ye was about to speak, but Shah Telai stopped him with a wave of her hand.

“It’s been tens of thousands of years since I’ve met him, and now is the time to confront him.”

“If there’s any trouble, you must catch me, Baxter.”

As her voice fell.

Shah Telai suddenly disappeared from in front of Shen Ye.

Shen Ye stood still, stunned.

Me?

Catch you?

He looked at the crystal in his hand, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
