Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 327
byBig Tomb.
Xu Xingke stood in the middle of the third floor of the Big Tomb, a cigarette dangling from his mouth.
A figure swiftly arrived.
Jian Ji.
“The situation on the ground has been clarified, everything has indeed transformed into another world,” Jian Ji said.
“How are the people who went out?” Xu Xingke asked.
“After leaving the Big Tomb, they immediately seemed like different people, completely forgetting everything from before. They insisted they were people from that world, and could even clearly state their professions and experiences,” Jian Ji replied.
Xu Xingke exhaled a smoke ring, frowning:
“This is really troublesome. A technique above the ninth level of the Dharma Realm like this seems impossible to破解.”
Several strong individuals around him looked at him.
He looked towards the void.
The Female Spirit-master appeared from the void and said, “I once told Shen Ye something.”
“Please tell,” Xu Xingke said.
“You need to retrieve that technique from the Big Tomb—the technique specifically aimed at the Emperor Race back then.”
“Let the Big Tomb infuse it with powerful energy, which will be enough to protect you, and can even break the technique from the ninth level outside,” the Female Spirit-master said.
Cang Nanyan said from the side, “It seems we still need to continue exploring the Big Tomb… I wonder how Shen Ye is doing now.”
“That kid will be fine. We might need to move a little faster to catch up to him,” Xu Xingke said casually.
Since everyone was alive, there was nothing to worry about.
After all, the entire universe was being attracted, approached, and destroyed by the King of Black.
Countless civilizations had already been destroyed.
Since they were still alive, they should continue to strive for survival.
As the few of them were discussing, they suddenly saw all the lines on the surrounding walls seem to come alive, emitting streams of colorful light.
These lines converged in one place, forming a circular passage.
A young girl walked out of the passage.
Song Yinchen!
“Huh? Why are all of you here?”
She asked in surprise.
Xu Xingke was even more surprised, retorting, “Aren’t you out there protecting the world?”
“Nine Aspects doesn’t want me, she wants Shen Ye—I was replaced and sent here,” Song Yinchen said.
Everyone was stunned.
“You mean Shen Ye is in the world on the surface?” Xu Xingke asked.
“Yes, I entered here on his behalf. Has Shen Ye returned?” Song Yinchen asked.
“No,” Jian Ji interjected.
“Then what should we do? He won’t be trapped in Nine Aspects’ memory world, will he?” Song Yinchen grew anxious.
“Now the only way is to find that nightmare technique in the Big Tomb. Its power is enough to surpass the ninth level,” the Female Spirit-master said.
Song Yinchen turned and walked into the wall.
Jian Ji quickly called out:
“Hey, hey! Even if you want to save your husband, at least tell us about the situation here!”
Song Yinchen then came back to her senses.
“Ah, sorry!” She looked at everyone, and suddenly a stronger sense of confidence emerged in her heart.
—This time when she went in again, she wouldn’t be alone!
Meeting everyone’s gaze, she began:
“That’s a powerful civilized world. Their moves are more potent, and their use of Dharma Aspects exceeds my previous understanding.”
“That civilization is waiting.”
“Waiting for what?” Xu Xingke asked.
“Waiting for the moment this epoch comes to an end—according to them, the end of this epoch is not a new epoch.”
“There will be a great catastrophe, destroying everything.”
“Only those who survive can enter the new epoch.”
“So they have been biding their time, accumulating strength, waiting for that final great catastrophe to arrive.”
Song Yinchen finished in one breath.
“So, it won’t be a simple task for us to enter and retrieve that technique,” Xu Xingke said.
“Of course, I need everyone to go in with me,” Song Yinchen said.
“Were you having a tough time in there?” Jian Ji asked.
“Yes, I finally established a sect, but everyone tried to push me around. I had to fight personally every time. Everyone, I need you all,” Song Yinchen said.
The strong individuals widened their eyes.
“You established a sect?” Jian Ji asked in surprise.
“A Dharma Realm eight-level cultivator is qualified to form a sect. Without a sect, you’re a lone ghost, hunted down everywhere,” Song Yinchen said.
She seemed to remember something and said:
“Oh right! There are some powerful individuals in there who even know about the Tower of Tarot.”
“Is that so? They must have given face to the Tower of Tarot and didn’t make too much trouble for you, right?” Xu Xingke said.
“No, they wanted to kill me—they said the Tower of Tarot was long gone, an old antique from a bygone era that had withered away,” Song Yinchen said truthfully.
Everyone inwardly muttered, “It’s over.”
A chilling, violent killing intent surged from Xu Xingke.
He sneered, “You’ve made me want to see it for myself. No time like the present. Yinchen, take me there now.”
“Okay, they often harass my sect, and I’m really annoyed by it,” Song Yinchen said.
“Just flies. I’ll swat them one by one,” Xu Xingke said calmly.
Song Yinchen placed her hand on the wall.
Countless glowing lines converged, once again forming a passage.
Song Yinchen went first, followed by Xu Xingke, quickly entering.
“Should we follow?” Cang Nanyan asked.
“Nonsense, of course we should go… but let’s stay a bit further from Xu Xingke, he’s probably going to go crazy,” Jian Ji said.
Everyone nodded together.
Soon.
All the strong individuals entered the wall.
Silence.
The third floor of the Big Tomb returned to its long-lost tranquility.
But the tranquility did not last long.
Several figures quietly appeared.
…
The endless blank world.
The Four Kings rowed hard, and the small boat slowly moved forward.
Before long.
The wooden boat docked at the edge of a Dharma Aspect.
“Why is it so creepy…”
The Little Girl looked at the Dharma Aspect, an uncomfortable feeling rising in her heart.
In the distance was an abandoned amusement park.
If it were just abandoned, it would be fine, nothing much.
But the entire amusement park exuded a strong aura of darkness.
And shadows kept flickering in and out of sight.
Moreover—
This amusement park was too enormous.
The Little Girl looked at a shriveled soda can lying on the ground not far away.
A single soda can was bigger than the entire small boat.
The trash can next to it was three or four stories high.
—This was truly gigantic.
“Alright, let’s go!”
The Little Girl said.
She jumped off the boat, and as she was about to take a step, she found the amusement park suddenly filled with people.
All those people were faceless, old and young, tall and short, densely crowded together, all looking at the Little Girl.
Ding-dong!
With the sound of an electronic game, several lines of large characters appeared on the giant display screen at the entrance of the amusement park:
“Welcome!”
“You must release a professional skill to attack, or you will be instantly obliterated.”
“This Dharma Aspect will reflect any professional power attack.”
“After your attack ends, the Dharma Aspect will complete a ten-fold attack power reflection. If you are injured, you will be instantly obliterated.”
“After enduring the attack, you must continue forward and not retreat, or you will be obliterated.”
“—From the natural Aether field of the Dharma Aspect, such a crazy passive defensive power was created for twisted souls.”
So strong?
The Little Girl was startled, then without a second thought, she stepped forward.
—She could only go forward!
And she had to release a professional skill attack immediately, or she would be obliterated.
How to attack?
Seeing the strange crowd all looking at her, the Little Girl suddenly shouted:
“One, two, Sirui, four!”
Swish, swish, swish, swish—
The Four Kings stood in a row behind her.
The Little Girl began to sing:
“Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, green grass stretches to the sky!”
“Warm wind brushes willows, flute cries linger, mountains beyond mountains in the sunset!”
Accompanied by her singing, the Four Kings performed synchronized dance moves.
Everything stopped.
Boom, boom, boom, boom—
Drumbeats, like thunder, surged forth.
Boom-cha-cha! Boom-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha!
Singeress skill, a dazzling opening!
The Little Girl swayed her waist, stepped back and forth, clenching her hands into fists, using them as a microphone.
She sang loudly into the microphone:
“Yo, past memories flood my mind, boundless loneliness like tears that don’t stop flowing at midnight, in the river of memory, only a single boat, sailing to the West Island where the south wind can’t reach.”
“That is my nostalgia, with nowhere to be placed!”
The Four Kings surrounded her, all clutching their chests, performing fashionable and crisp dance moves.
The entire eerie Dharma Aspect froze.
For endless years, such a situation had never occurred!
The intruder was actually a singeress!
And—
A singeress’s professional skill was singing!
—She sang and danced, launching an emotional attack!
An emotional attack!!!
How were you going to launch a ten-fold emotional attack reflected damage on her?
Have a romance?
The Little Girl raised both hands high, making them into the number eight, or like holding two guns, pointing them at her face, singing the last line:
“Ha, I’m a rookie who never wants to grow up.”
She was underage!
How could you have a romance with her?!
—This plugged the last loophole.
The Dharma Aspect had no choice.
So everything in the Dharma Aspect froze.
The Little Girl took proud dance steps and continued forward.
—Retreating would lead to obliteration!
What about going forward?
A door appeared in front of her.
She took her four dancers and stepped inside!
The door disappeared.
It disappeared…
For a moment.
The entire Dharma Aspect seemed to be in great trouble, shaking continuously.
Many facilities in the amusement park, with this shaking, rolled to the ground and disintegrated.
On the other side.
Panda Office.
The Little Girl appeared again.
“Damn it, you scared me to death.”
She fanned herself with both hands, muttering.
Suddenly.
Shen Ye bounced out of the Little Girl’s body.
Pe’a Suo took over the body, saying with a smile:
“Many of my personalities are not only crazy but also hysterical, so the Dharma Aspect is full of aggression, ready to destroy everything at any time.”
“Is that so? That’s really dangerous, but I also have a counterattack,” Shen Ye said.
He looked up at the void.
Lines of faint small characters had already appeared:
“You activated the power of the ‘Scourge’ entry.”
“The Dharma Aspect you stayed in is about to encounter a Dharma Realm tremor and suffer a considerable amount of damage.”
Shen Ye glanced at it and asked, “If I destroy the Dharma Aspect of that personality, will that personality lose its power?”
“Yes—but that Dharma Aspect is very difficult to destroy,” Pe’a Suo said.
Shen Ye was about to speak when he saw faint lights appear in the void again:
“Your actions have had a definite impact on the personality battle of the Nine Aspects.”
“The battle between the Demon of Fear and Charlotte will unfold in a parallel world.”
“The winner will retain their memories and make them true history.”
“This act has also affected the infinite universe.”
“Combined with your current approach in the personality battle, you are temporarily invincible.”
“With your magnificent feat, the rightful name bestowed upon you by the Dharma Realm has been determined as:”
“The Little Boy Who Sells Nukes.”
“Purple entry (one in ten thousand).”
“Description—”
Suddenly.
All the small characters flashed and disappeared.
Immediately after, they reappeared:
“Due to the curse of the Demon of Fear, the birth of this entry has been affected.”
“The current curse technique will act three times in total; this is the second time.”
“The entry has been changed to:”
“The Emperor’s New Clothes.”
“Passive black entry (negative).”
“Description: As long as the entry exists on you, when you use any weapon or armor, it will produce an absurd effect of being utterly useless.”
“—Everyone is advised: Never fight against funny characters.”
Bastard!
Who are you calling a funny character!
Shen Ye’s anger flared, and he clenched his fists tightly. In the end, it was for the sake of that ‘passive black entry’ that he reluctantly suppressed it.
Never mind.
Anyway, these negative entries could be used on others.
“Don’t be angry, don’t be angry, I won’t be angry. If I get angry, who will be pleased?”
Shen Ye muttered to himself, while taking the entry off his head, tossing it into the small grove in the Dharma Aspect, and hanging it on a tree.
This entry, along with “Despicable Stand-in Player,” was temporarily shelved.
—There’s one more time!
Once he collected three negative entries, he would use “Blood-sucking Child” to fuse them!
At this moment, Pe’a Suo spoke:
“That personality was born because many friends died and she was constantly stimulated.”
“The most crucial part of the Dharma Aspect is the Ferris wheel.”
“If you can ride the Ferris wheel once, it will eliminate the power of the personality, and the Dharma Aspect might weaken—”
“Actually, I don’t know what will happen in the end.”
“Because there’s no such event in history, I can’t see the answer clearly.”
“But I can feel that this is the only way to win.”
Shen Ye snapped his fingers and said:
“Since that’s the case, let’s just do it.”
He looked back at the Four Kings.
The Four Kings were already seated steadily in the small wooden boat, each with their chests puffed out, as if waiting for a single command.
“Go! Change direction, let’s go again!”
Shen Ye once again synced with the Little Girl.
She jumped onto the boat, opened the door, and left the Panda Office.
A few minutes later.
The blank Dharma Realm.
A small boat slowly approached and docked at the edge of a Dharma Aspect.
Before the boat could fully stabilize, a “ding-dong” sound was heard.
A new prompt appeared on the giant display screen at the entrance of the amusement park:
“Welcome!”
“We will kill you.”
Shen Ye looked towards the amusement park, only to see that the faceless people had disappeared.
In their place was a giant humanoid monster, eight or nine stories tall.
Its body was made up of countless small figures pieced together, also faceless, but it moved around the amusement park like a living person.
The amusement park had clearly suffered a disaster.
The faceless one was moving some completely damaged amusement facilities, throwing them out of the amusement park.
“Ferris wheel…”
Shen Ye muttered.
The Ferris wheel was in the very center of the amusement park, standing still, all its lights and music gone.
If he thought back carefully, it was back when they were still on the flying fortress that the werewolf entrusted Nancy, wishing her to ride the Ferris wheel once.
—If he really wanted to ride it, he first had to turn on the power.
Then—
He needed to find a way to deal with that faceless one.
The power swirling around it was so bizarre that just one look made Shen Ye feel as if all his strength had drained away.
This thing definitely couldn’t be fought head-on.
He needed to find a way…
Shen Ye thought for a moment, then stretched out his hand, silently chanting “Star Shift” in his mind.
A coordinate point was set.
“Let’s go, keep rowing, we’ll leave first,” Shen Ye said.
The Four Kings immediately wielded their oars, controlling the small wooden boat, and quickly left.
After a while.
The wooden boat arrived at the other end of the Dharma Aspect.
Shen Ye set up a coordinate point again.
“Go!”
The small wooden boat drifted away again.
After another while.
The small wooden boat appeared at the top of the Dharma Aspect.
If a straight line were drawn connecting the two coordinate points and the boat’s location, a clear equilateral triangle could be seen.
This way, he wouldn’t have to return to the Panda Office every time.
Shen Ye jumped off the wooden boat and formed a spell seal with both hands.
“Dharma Aspect Descends · Guanghan Palace!”
Palaces and pavilions rose from behind him, transforming into a celestial palace in the sky.
A blood moon hung high in the firmament, casting an eerie red glow that illuminated all directions.
Boom, rumble, rumble—
The ground trembled incessantly.
—The two Dharma Aspects were conjoining!
The draining power contained within the blood moon illuminated the entire amusement park.
Strands of light emanated from the amusement park, flying up into the sky and all merging into the blood moon.
The giant faceless one also noticed it.
It took large strides, charging towards his Dharma Aspect.
“Defend with the Big Skeleton!”
Shen Ye instructed the Four Kings, then immediately opened a door and left.
At another teleportation point of the Dharma Aspect.
Shen Ye quietly appeared.
Taking advantage of the monster attacking his Dharma Aspect, he quickened his pace, sprinting towards the amusement park.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Every step the monster took made the ground tremble.
The Big Skeleton stood on the black city wall, clapped its hands together, and loudly declared:
“Full defense!”
The Four Kings climbed onto the city wall, each taking out their weapons, strengthening defenses for those strengthening defenses, and for those preparing to attack, they began to chant spells.
They stood ready for battle.
On the other side.
Shen Ye had already snuck into the amusement park, crouching and rushing some distance, when suddenly Pe’a Suo’s voice came from his mouth:
“This place is full of dangers, I’ll take you through!”
She took control of the body, and suddenly moved a few steps to the left.
A clown’s head burst out from underground, spitting seven or eight throwing knives in all directions.
However, the Little Girl was already far away.
She dodged various traps all the way, heading straight to the back wall of the gift shop, where she crouched down and said:
“The Ferris wheel’s circuit breaker is on the left wall inside the shop, but we can’t get in.”
“What’s in the shop?” Shen Ye asked.
“A salesperson with ‘obliteration’ power! If she catches you, you’re instantly dead.”
“Let me.”
“Okay.”
Shen Ye once again synced with the Little Girl’s body.
She crouched under the eaves, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it hard at the shop window.
Crash!
As the window glass broke, a strange babbling sound came from inside the shop.
Taking advantage of this moment.
Shen Ye placed his hand on the shop door.
“Non-Dual Dharma Gate” activated!
“You have granted this door teleportation ability; the destination is Coordinate One.”
A black shadow rushed out of the shop, and as it crossed the door, it instantly disappeared.
—The monster was teleported to one of the corners of the equilateral triangle!
The Little Girl quickly stood up, dashed into the shop, ignored everything else, reached out and pushed the circuit breaker on the left wall, pulling it down forcefully.
A cheerful musical sound immediately filled the air.
The Ferris wheel began to turn slowly.
Whoosh—
A black shadow suddenly appeared in the shop.
It was that monster!
It could actually teleport back to this shop!
The Little Girl, unperturbed, first set the coordinates, then opened a door behind her and retreated into it.
When the monster charged, the door had already disappeared.
These events sound slow in description, but they actually happened in just a few short seconds.
—How was the battle going?
The Little Girl looked at her Dharma Aspect.
She saw the gigantic faceless monster had already broken through the black city wall, climbing along the ornate palace towards the top, pursuing the Big Skeleton and the Four Kings.
“It’s too dangerous…”
The Little Girl’s thoughts stirred.
The Dharma Aspect was immediately retracted.
Boom, rumble, rumble—
The faceless monster crashed heavily to the ground, making a deafening sound.
But at this moment.
The slowly turning Ferris wheel stopped again.
The Little Girl’s expression focused.
The monster guarding the shop had pushed the circuit breaker up again!
No.
This guy must die.
Couldn’t defeat the big one, but couldn’t defeat the small one either?
Shen Ye pushed open the door and whispered:
“Dharma Aspect activate.”
In an instant.
He appeared inside the shop.
The moment the monster rushed in, it instantly vanished.
Shen Ye pushed open another door and stepped inside.
On the other side was the Panda Office!
She stepped into the office and immediately activated her Dharma Aspect.
She saw that after the monster from the shop was taken into the Dharma Aspect, claws grew all over its body, and it immediately began to climb the city wall, wanting to attack the Big Skeleton and the Four Kings.
However.
It wasn’t the strongest faceless one.
Although it possessed ‘obliteration’ ability, its strength was far too inferior.
The Four Kings and the Big Skeleton each unleashed long-range attacks, some wielding spears, others breathing fire, repelling it again and again.
And the red moon in the sky continuously drew power from it.
The Little Girl stood outside the Dharma Aspect and watched for a moment, then called out “Bow,” grasping the Guanghan Bow in her hand, and drawing a Lunar Divine Arrow.
Cross-world archery, Star Blade!
Swish—
The Lunar Divine Arrow streaked into the Dharma Aspect, automatically splitting into twelve arrows, drawing beautiful arcs in mid-air, all striking the monster.
The monster was immediately pinned to a palace wall.
Taking advantage of this, the Four Kings swarmed forward, launching a barrage of attacks on the monster.
“Stop!”
The Big Skeleton suddenly yelled.
The Four Kings did not stop.
“Stop,” the Little Girl said.
Only then did the Four Kings cease their attack.
The monster’s body was more than half chopped up by flames and weapons, still struggling.
“What’s wrong?” the Little Girl asked.
“Among my mother’s many offspring, I was not outstanding, but guess why she ultimately chose me to inherit the Book of the Dead?” the Big Skeleton asked proudly.
“A wise man’s thousand deliberations will inevitably have one oversight?” the Little Girl replied.
“It’s my innate ability,” the Big Skeleton glared at her, “Haven’t you forgotten, I can transform into whatever I eat.”
The Little Girl was stunned, then suddenly realized:
“That’s right! I’ve never seen anyone else with this ability!”
The Big Skeleton drew a large skeleton saber, fiercely chopped the monster on the ground, cut off some flesh, and chewed it vigorously in its mouth.
“Now it’s fine, kill it!” it said.
“Kill,” the Little Girl also said.
The Four Kings swarmed forward, beating the monster on the ground for over ten minutes.
It wasn’t until the blood moon in the sky stopped drawing power from the monster that everyone knew the monster was completely dead.
A faint light popped up, informing Shen Ye that he had gained a “+3 All Attributes” boost.
Alright then.
—Even a mosquito, however small, still has some meat.
“How is it? Can you transform now?” the Little Girl asked with concern.
The Big Skeleton said nothing, but merely stood in place, its entire body emitting a “crunch-crunch-crackle” sound.
Its entire skeletal structure continuously reorganised.
Finally—
The monster from earlier appeared before Shen Ye.
“Look, how is it?”
It asked proudly.
“Your mother made the right choice!” The Little Girl gave a thumbs up.
A few minutes later.
Inside the Dharma Aspect, the “salesperson” returned again.
It walked step by step into the shop and switched off the power.
From beginning to end, the giant faceless one seemed to regard it as a kin and did not attack it.
Music started playing.
The Ferris wheel began to turn slowly once more.
Shen Ye repeated his trick, unfolding his Dharma Aspect to attract the giant faceless one to attack it.
She herself dashed into the amusement park, running straight to the base of the Ferris wheel.
Opened the door, and sat inside.
The Ferris wheel slowly turned, carrying her higher into the sky.
When she reached the highest point—
An unusual wave reverberated throughout the amusement park.
At the same time.
Shen Ye found himself ejected from the Little Girl’s body again.
This time.
The Little Girl’s eyes did not change color.
—She was Nancy.
“Thank you, Baxter,” Nancy said, overjoyed.
“No need to be polite with me, but I don’t see the point of riding this Ferris wheel,” Shen Ye shrugged.
Suddenly.
A voice rang out:
“Is this the Ferris wheel?”
Shen Ye looked beside Nancy.
He saw a girl about Nancy’s age appear in the chair.
She had a pink hair clip in her hair and looked very cute.
Shen Ye suddenly remembered the werewolf on the flying fortress.
When it let Nancy go, it once said a sentence:
“—You go for me, ride the Ferris wheel once, promise me.”
So, in the days that followed, Nancy’s intense pain and unwillingness ultimately transformed into this Ferris wheel, which had always existed in this insane and negative Dharma Aspect?
Shen Ye quietly listened to the conversation between the two little girls.
“Sophie, my wish is to ride the Ferris wheel with you, not alone,” Nancy said joyfully.
“It’s so high, too bad we have to go down,” Sophie peered out the window, looking out with a reluctant expression.
“After we go down, we’ll come back up again,” Nancy giggled.
“That’s good,” Sophie sighed in relief.
“We can see the whole amusement park now, Sophie!”
“Mm!”
The two little girls craned their necks to look out the window, chirping and chattering.
Every place their gaze swept over, all the strange things disappeared, turning into normal amusement facilities.
The giant humanoid monster tried to rush back, but after only a few steps, it fell to the ground, its body disintegrating into countless people.
—Normal humans.
The entire amusement park became lively.
All the surrounding blankness disappeared.
The amusement park appeared in an open space in a city, as if it had always belonged there.
The Dharma Aspect disappeared.
Now, everything became real.
Faint light appeared, gathering into lines of small characters:
“Spell Master ‘Demon of Fear’ is not in the current world; this spell was utilized by the original personality ‘Nancy’.”
“The ‘Life Soul Creation’ spell, under the enhancement of the current Dharma Aspect, uses the ‘Ferris wheel’ as a beacon to forcibly alter memories, reviving the dead and reintegrating them into reality.”
“Revived individuals: Sophie and all tested children.”
“Furthermore, the power of the current Dharma Aspect has been completely absorbed.”
“Evaluation: This Dharma Aspect was born from the obsession condensed by the Nine Aspects, drawing infinite power from the Dharma Realm to manifest. Now, it has been used as a great prayer spell to change tragic reality.”
“—Nancy’s deepest, most secret wish.”
“—May everyone survive!”
