Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 324

Shen Ye looked at Charlotte on the bed.

She was fast asleep.

It was a peaceful night.

So opening the door to retrieve the terms was quite safe.

But he had to come back.

Nine Aspects’ memories only had the persona of the Demon of Fear left—

Wouldn’t this allow it to directly acquire all of this life’s memories, thereby winning the entire personality struggle?

Shen Ye still had a sense of proportion in this matter.

He retracted his gaze and looked into the void.

Following the fate just now, faint light had already appeared as small characters:

“You have linked to an ancient and powerful planet; your Door ability has gained an opportunity for improvement.”

“Please continue to explore this planet. When your exploration reaches a certain level, your Door ability will evolve.”

“Additionally.”

“Are you sure you want to devour the newly acquired term?”

This was the final confirmation!

Shen Ye was attracted by the preceding paragraph and was about to confirm, but a flash of inspiration darted through his mind.

Wait!

Wait a minute!

This was the first time seeing a black term!

Although it was a curse from the Demon of Fear, it was also the first time he encountered it.

Is there any way…

To make the best use of everything?

Shen Ye stood by the window, pondering for a moment.

But.

What use could such a curse-type term have?

“How is the level of black terms determined? I remember the terms’ levels from low to high are gray, green, blue, purple, gold, dark gold, red.”

Shen Ye thought silently.

Faint light appeared as small characters:

“Black terms, like pink terms, are extremely rare and not subject to this level restriction.”

So that’s how it is.

Then, it seems possible…

Shen Ye mused, his thoughts becoming clearer.

His power belonged to the future.

He couldn’t think of combat methods with old mindsets.

Innovation was needed.

Just then, a black cat flashed past the windowsill.

Shen Ye went straight through the wall and followed it.

The black cat climbed up the drainpipe and quickly reached the rooftop.

There was a small attic on the rooftop with several cardboard boxes inside.

Several cats huddled together, warming each other.

When the black cat appeared, the other cats looked at it and then ignored it.

It seemed they had accepted its inclusion.

The black cat was about to step forward when the surroundings suddenly flickered.

Something seemed to have happened.

And yet nothing.

It paused, vigilantly observing its surroundings.

However, apart from the rustling wind, there was nothing noteworthy.

The black cat was a little confused.

But it was too cold outside, and instead of standing around, it was better to quickly enter the attic and warm up with everyone.

It started to move again, preparing to enter the attic.

Unexpectedly, all the cats suddenly jumped up and let out fierce and bloodcurdling meows at it:

“Meow! Haa—meow—!”

It was hissed at!

The black cat was startled and froze again, not daring to act rashly.

What was going on?

Everyone got along fine during the day, so why were they all hissing at it now?

The black cat was a bit flustered.

However, in the void beside it, lines of faint glowing text had already appeared:

“You activated the future term ‘Meet at Yao Terrace under the Moonlight’.”

“The black cat, the term ‘Despicable Understudy’, and yourself have all been absorbed into your Dharma Aspect ‘Guanghan Palace’.”

“You canceled ‘Meet at Yao Terrace under the Moonlight’ and cast out the former two.”

“Terms cannot exist in isolation.”

“The term has attached itself to the black cat.”

—Success!

● тtκan● ￠ Ο

Shen Ye activated ‘Meet at Yao Terrace under the Moonlight’ again, plucking the term ‘Despicable Understudy’ from the cat’s head and storing it in his Dharma Aspect.

He found a random tree in the small grove within his Dharma Aspect and threw the term onto it.

He’d leave it there for now.

It would be useful later.

Looking back at the black cat, after losing this term, the stray cats no longer hissed at it.

They huddled together again, leaving a gap in the middle.

—This was the good spot left for the black cat.

They felt confused and ashamed by their previous actions, so they made amends.

“Meow.”

The black cat meowed softly, its eyes misty, but it still stepped forward, squeezed into the gap, and warmed up with everyone.

Shen Ye felt satisfied after this verification.

First, he confirmed that future-type terms were not affected by his “ghost” body.

Then, he confirmed that terms could be given to others.

This way, he would have a better chance of exploring the planet named “End.”

His Door abilities included “Time Fluid,” “Unique Dharma Gate,” and “Shifting Stars.” He wondered if they would evolve or if he would gain entirely new Door abilities as his exploration progressed.

It was truly something to look forward to.

He descended, passing through the wall, and returned to the room where the little girl was resting.

Upon returning.

He saw Charlotte sitting up in bed.

“Why are you awake? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?”

Shen Ye asked in surprise.

“No… I just feel like my body has recovered, and I’m full of energy now,” Charlotte said.

She jumped off the bed, and with a slight lift of her hands.

Two lightning balls adhered to her palms, emitting fiery blue-white light.

“Advanced…”

Shen Ye murmured.

This was the first-level Thunderbolt Palm of the Dharma Realm.

Her attribute growth rate was directly proportional to her talent.

Her talent…

Even across the entire universe, it would rank among the top.

This was truly—

Crushing.

Shen Ye sighed, encouraged himself, and then continued to ask:

“Not sleeping anymore?”

“I’m not sleepy now, I’m completely awake,” Charlotte said.

Shen Ye glanced at the clock on the wall.

Twelve fifty-two.

The enemies would only start acting at three fifty-nine.

Since Charlotte was already awake—

“Shall we leave immediately to find your parents?” Shen Ye asked.

Charlotte’s voice faded, and a more lively voice sounded:

“Okay! I remember that city is called Gaia City! I also remember where my home is!”

—This was Nancy.

The little girl’s face showed excitement and joy.

“Let me go check the train station.”

Shen Ye said.

“Okay, come back quickly, Baxter,” the little girl said.

Shen Ye nodded, passed through the wall, quickly flew into the sky, and overlooked the entire town.

He soon found the train station.

Shen Ye jumped onto a train and examined it carefully.

This world was a bit strange.

Despite having technology like sky fortresses, they were still using old-fashioned internal combustion locomotives.

He then flew to the waiting hall and looked at the map and timetable on the wall.

There were no direct trains to Gaia City tonight.

But there was a train that would make a temporary stop and eventually arrive at another city not far from Gaia City, Shelter City.

There were still twenty-something minutes left.

Shen Ye quickly flew back to the hotel and landed in front of Nancy.

Nancy had already found a thick cotton jacket from the clothes she bought, put it on, and donned a cotton hat.

“Found the train station, let’s go!”

“Okay!”

The little girl pushed open the window, squeezed out, activated “Lunar Deer Walk,” and moved between hops and jumps on the wall, quickly returning to the street.

The sky was pitch black.

The wind had also stopped.

Only the snow was still falling quietly.

“Walk that way!”

Under Shen Ye’s guidance, the little girl quickened her pace and rushed towards the train station.

“This is too slow, we need to be serious.”

The little girl’s voice became cold.

Charlotte was out!

She used her footwork, running while smiling faintly.

“My body… feels lighter, and my strength has increased, it’s wonderful.”

“It’s from sleeping. You need to sleep more to grow,” Shen Ye explained.

“Really? I’ll sleep whenever I have time!”

The little girl jumped onto the wall.

She simply continued to jump and advance on the tops of various houses.

Her movements became increasingly skilled.

At one point.

She even made two consecutive thrusts in mid-air before slowly descending.

Shen Ye nodded subtly.

—She had mastered “Moonlit Deer Walk” quite skillfully.

Before long.

The two of them climbed over the wall, entered the station, and found the train.

“Ten minutes left.”

Shen Ye said.

“I’m a little nervous… I don’t know how Mom and Dad are doing now,” Charlotte said, feeling uneasy.

Her pupils suddenly turned dark blue.

—Constellation Poet Peaso!

A neutral voice came from her mouth:

“There’s a gap in the fifth carriage, I’ll go directly.”

“Go,” Shen Ye said.

The little girl jumped off the wall, blended into the boarding crowd, and walked towards the fifth carriage.

As she reached the carriage door, the ticket-checking conductor suddenly received a call, took out his phone, and lowered his head to answer it.

Taking advantage of this, the little girl walked straight into the carriage.

The train at night didn’t have many passengers and appeared empty.

The little girl glanced into carriage number five, then suddenly turned around and walked towards carriage number six.

“Where are you going?”

Shen Ye asked.

“There are a few thugs behind, they’ve had too much to drink and will do something disgusting later, I want to stay far away from them,” Peaso explained.

“What exactly will happen?”

“In seven minutes, they will harass a female student, and then they will hit people.”

“Tell Charlotte to talk to me,” Shen Ye said.

“What is it?” The little girl’s voice turned icy, and her pupils returned to emerald green.

“The time for physical training has arrived.”

“Are you saying—”

“Don’t move, wait.”

“Okay.”

Charlotte stood at the connection between the two carriages, looking into a mirror, and began to tidy her hair.

She looked like a little girl who cared about her appearance.

Before long.

The train started moving.

A commotion suddenly arose.

Three young men were laughing loudly, surrounding a female student.

One of them even grabbed the girl’s arm.

The girl’s face turned pale with fright.

“Charlotte, go break their arms,” Shen Ye whispered.

“Why?”

“Bullying others is wrong.”

“But why do they look so happy?”

“They don’t realize their mistakes; breaking their arms will help them sober up.”

‘Okay, any other requests?’ Charlotte asked.

“Don’t be discovered by anyone, and return to me after you’ve dealt with them,” Shen Ye said.

“I’ll try.”

Charlotte looked around, saw no one, activated “Sky Shadow,” and disappeared from the spot.

In the carriage.

“Please let go!” The female student struggled forcefully.

“Giving you face, yet you dare to resist, you stinky bitch.” One young man swung his fist.

Crack.

His arm suddenly broke at an unnatural angle.

The other two’s arms also broke accordingly.

The three immediately let out screams of agony.

The leader rummaged through his body with his other hand, pulled out a dagger, and pointed it at the female student saying:

“What did you do?!”

The female student instinctively ran away.

The young man chased two steps, then suddenly fell to the ground.

The dagger plunged into his chest.

The young man sobered up completely.

“Help… help…”

He lay on the ground, clutching his wound and shouting.

Everyone around him instinctively stood up and backed away.

The attendant rushed over.

The train police followed.

A commotion ensued.

Shen Ye still stood at the connection between the two carriages.

After waiting for a few more breaths.

Charlotte’s voice quietly sounded in his ear:

“He just tried to kill someone, I had to—”

“No need to explain, you did well,” Shen Ye interrupted her.

Charlotte, having been praised, showed a joyful smile.

“Now leave here, switch carriages, rest for a while, I’ll call you when it’s almost time,” Shen Ye said.

“Okay, then I’ll switch to Peaso,” Charlotte said.

“Peaso’s prophetic abilities seem very powerful,” Shen Ye said.

“Yes, whenever we are nervous or scared, she comes out to soothe our emotions with her precognitive abilities.”

“Are you very nervous right now?”

“Mm, I’m about to see Mom and Dad.”

As she spoke, the little girl’s eyes turned dark blue.

Peaso emerged.

She walked towards carriage six without looking back, explaining as she went:

“Carriage seven has the fewest people, with a few adults and children. I’ll sit there, I won’t be questioned.”

“Mm.” Shen Ye said.

Peaso passed through carriage six, and just as she was about to enter carriage seven, her footsteps suddenly paused.

“What’s wrong? Did something happen again?” Shen Ye asked.

“I’m fine, but it seems there’s something looking for you,” Peaso said.

“Looking for me?” Shen Ye asked in surprise.

“Yes, let me take a closer look.”

Peaso continued walking, found a seat in carriage seven, and sat down.

She leaned back, her eyes closed.

After a long while.

She spoke again:

“It’s a guy named ‘Kunlun.’ It was discovered when it found you, and then it got caught in a chase.”

“It’s currently hiding in a game called ‘Zombie World,’ temporarily acting as a game character.”

Shen Ye thought to pull out his phone, but suddenly realized he was currently a “ghost.”

Peaso, however, produced a phone.

“Where did that come from?” Shen Ye asked in surprise.

“Just now, I had a premonition we’d need a phone, and when my personality switched, I told Charlotte, and she took that young man’s phone,” Peaso said.

She held the phone, thought for a moment, then entered the correct password and unlocked the screen.

The game was quickly downloaded.

Register an account.

“Just call it ‘Shen Tianwang’,” Shen Ye said.

“Okay.”

The account registration was complete, and he entered the game.

The character appeared in an abandoned warehouse.

Peaso controlled the character, killed a few zombies, then walked across the street.

A wounded homeless man lay on the sidewalk beside the street.

“Young man, help me!”

The homeless man called out.

“That’s him,” Peaso said.

“Tell him I am Shen Ye.”

“Okay.”

Peaso typed.

The homeless man groaned and replied, “Shen Ye? Good name, but a young man like you should be in school, where’s your teacher?”

“Tell him, Xu Xingke is in the Great Tomb,” Shen Ye said.

Peaso typed.

The homeless man breathed a sigh of relief and said, “It really is you? That’s great, I must inform you of something.”

“This is a world highly controlled by artificial intelligence.”

“It has already been manipulated by your enemies.”

“In outer space, nuclear weapons capable of destroying an entire city are already prepared.”

“If things don’t go smoothly, that AI will not hesitate to blow up an entire city to completely cut off your hope.”

“It’s about to find me—I have to keep pretending!”

The homeless man reverted to his original state, lying on the ground groaning and asking, “Young man, can you help me?”

“Exit the game,” Shen Ye said.

Peaso closed the game.

“Baxter.”

“What?”

“When we reach Gaia City, will the enemy just destroy the entire city?”

“Yes.”

“Then what do we do? We can’t let so many people die because of us, and my parents might not escape either,” the little girl said anxiously.

Shen Ye pondered silently.

Careless.

The Demon of Fear was really something, even employing methods from outer space.

This was his blind spot.

—The Hanged Man’s Door couldn’t view things in outer space.

But now that he knew, there was still a way.

According to the daily information from the Hanged Man’s Door, Charlotte was captured at 12:15 PM today.

It was only 1:13 AM.

There were still eleven hours.

“Baxter, we shouldn’t go to Gaia City, right?” Peaso asked.

“No, we must go, and quickly!” Shen Ye said.

“Racing against time? This train is already fast enough, is there another way?” Peaso asked.

“Get on the game, find that homeless man, I have something to ask him.”

“Okay.”

The game opened again.

The homeless man was still there.

Shen Ye motioned for Charlotte to type: “We need to find a faster train—to shorten the time to Gaia City.”

“Is that important? If I search for information in this world, I’ll be discovered and have to run again,” the homeless man said.

“Very important, it can be said to be the most important.”

The homeless man sighed and said, “This train is the fastest. If you want to go faster, there’s only one way.”

“Speak.”

“Remember, once I’m done speaking, I’ll immediately run, and you must destroy the phone right away.”

“Understood.”

“In a few minutes, a passenger plane will appear in the sky diagonally behind this train. Its destination is Gaia City.”

The homeless man finished speaking and disappeared.

“Turn off the phone, go to the restroom,” Shen Ye said.

Peaso stood up, walked to the middle of the carriage, opened the restroom door, went inside, and locked it.

“Open the window, use lightning to completely destroy this phone, then throw it out.”

Shen Ye said.

“Yes.” The little girl completely trusted him and once again transformed into Charlotte.

Charlotte’s hands glowed with electricity, directly crushing the phone, then threw it out the window.

Shen Ye silently calculated.

Flight magic…

It was taught by Norton.

It had copyright, so he couldn’t teach it.

His own time was only 6.3 seconds, a bit risky.

But it was safer than being hit by a nuclear bomb.

“Charlotte, there’s something very dangerous, but it can lead you to see your mom and dad.”

“I’m willing to try,” Charlotte said immediately.

“Then you must be extra vigilant, not a single mistake can be allowed.”

“I’ll do my best, Baxter.”

“Alright, now climb out the window and get onto the roof of the train,” Shen Ye said.

Charlotte, being petite, grabbed the window frame, and with a light leap, climbed out.

She landed on the roof of the train.

“Wait quietly, observe, until you spot that plane,” Shen Ye said.

“Yes.”

Charlotte looked up at the sky.

“Frost Bite can actually condense ice shards, can you do that now?” Shen Ye asked.

“Only a little frost,” Charlotte said.

“It’s fine, you just started, this is already good,” Shen Ye comforted.

—It seemed he needed to find more ways.

“The plane is here! Baxter!”

Charlotte shouted.

Shen Ye looked up, and indeed there was an airplane flying high in the dark sky.

But—

Although Charlotte’s attributes had improved, she still couldn’t endure the high-altitude cold for long.

More time was needed for the operation!

“Charlotte, run, then jump with all your might into the air,” Shen Ye said.

“Okay!”

Charlotte ran with all her might on the carriage roof, until she could no longer accelerate, then she leaped high into the air!

—Moonlit Deer Walk, charge!

A tiny figure shot up seven or eight meters, seemingly about to fall back down.

Shen Ye flew forward and merged with her.

Synchronization!

Boom—

The little girl’s figure shot skyward, swift as lightning, soaring towards the airplane high in the sky.

Her speed was extreme!

1 second.

2 seconds.

3 seconds!

Three more seconds.

However, the little girl was still a considerable distance from the plane. Roughly estimated, she wouldn’t make it.

“Hongying Blade!”

The little girl chirped.

A snow-white long blade appeared in her hand.

Behind her, layers of illusory palaces and jade halls had unfolded.

Guanghan Palace!

—Dharma Aspect fully activated, infusing endless Dharma Realm power into her swordsmanship!

The long blade cut an arc in mid-air, pointing remotely towards the earth.

Faint small characters quickly appeared:

“You performed the secret blade art: Longing, under the enhancement of your Dharma Aspect.”

“The target of the blade art is the current planet.”

“The spacetime of the planet has entered a slight state of stagnation.”

—Time slowed down!

On the ground.

The train slowly crawled forward.

In the sky.

The airplane’s speed immediately dropped, almost freezing in place.

Seizing this moment—

“Big Skeleton!” The little girl shouted.

A seven-meter-tall skeleton suddenly appeared, grabbed the little girl, and roared:

“Watch me, goooooo!”

Amidst its roar, the little girl was thrown with full force in the direction of the plane.

Using this momentum, the little girl performed flight magic again.

This made her even faster!

She kicked off the plane’s belly, and in a few steps, she flipped onto the plane’s top, then waved her hands to conjure frost.

—A conical wall of frost appeared.

Inside this wall of frost, two handles were thoughtfully condensed for the little girl to grasp.

Time’s up!

Longing’s effect ended.

Synchronization time ended.

Shen Ye sprang from Charlotte’s body, landing to the side.

The plane suddenly accelerated, continuing to fly normally towards Gaia City.

Charlotte grabbed the frosty handles and couldn’t help but exclaim:

“Baxter, how did you do that?!”

“It’s nothing, Charlotte, you must be stronger than me,” Shen Ye said.

“…Can I do that?” Charlotte asked.

“You certainly can. When that day comes, everyone, including me, will rely on you for protection,” Shen Ye said.

“Okay, if that day comes, I swear I’ll protect you all,” Charlotte said.

The plane’s speed was naturally faster than the internal combustion train.

And its destination was Gaia City.

In just twenty minutes.

It began to descend.

Shen Ye checked the time.

It was only 1:43 AM.

The investigation team from the Human Evolution Alliance would only depart at 3:59 AM.

Meaning—

The enemy knew nothing yet!

Shen Ye was somewhat roused.

In this piece of history or memory, the initiative for action had shifted towards him and Charlotte.

“We can’t follow the plane down, it will cause a sensation,” Shen Ye said.

“—It’s a bit high, I don’t dare to jump,” Charlotte said.

“I’ll do it.”

By then, over ten minutes had passed. Shen Ye synchronized again, first dispersing the frost, then detaching from the plane and falling downwards.

He swiftly landed in the fields on the outskirts of the city, casually set a teleportation coordinate, and then handed control of his body back to Charlotte.

“This is great, Baxter! I can’t wait to go home!”

The little girl cheered.

As Shen Ye was about to speak, faint small characters suddenly appeared:

“Helping her arrive at Gaia City early has gained further recognition.”

“Synchronization rate increased.”

“Current synchronization rate: 4.87%.”

“Synchronization time: 7.9 seconds.”

All the small characters retracted.

The little girl was already running through the fields.

“I remember this place. Mom and Dad took me picnicking along this road.”

Her speed became faster and faster.

Just as Shen Ye was about to follow her, he noticed humanoid black shadows appearing in the void around her.

These humanoid black shadows exuded an ominous aura, like vultures that had been waiting for a long time, fluttering back and forth incessantly.

They gradually transformed into the little girl’s likeness.

Shen Ye’s heart tightened.

Trouble.

What was happening?

Could an extremely dangerous event be about to occur?

The void stirred.

A long-haired woman appeared, clad in a red robe, her eyes like black holes.

The Demon of Fear!

She scrutinized Shen Ye, saying in a solemn tone:

“All your preparations are useless, because you simply don’t know what we’ve been through.”

“The victor will be decided soon.”

“Once I completely destroy Charlotte and become the true Nine Aspects, the first thing I’ll do is kill you.”
