Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 371
byThe woman stood in the void.
Intricate and profoundly mysterious natural runes clustered into flowers, forming jade trees that densely surrounded her.
The vast sea was born below, and the bright moon rose above.
“This is a gift for you.”
The woman said with a smile, as countless unknown forces emanated from the jade trees around her, manifesting as billions of stars in the void.
Among the billions of stars, twelve particularly blazing constellations soared into the sky, illuminating the dharma realm, transforming into twisting yellow palaces, vast and majestic, manifesting layer upon layer.
Countless immortal cranes,麒麟, azure dragons, and phoenixes circled back and forth.
They, along with countless spirits, used their mana to construct a pagoda.
On top of the pagoda stood a divine statue, identical in appearance to the woman.
The divine statue overlooked the billions of stars below, motionless.
A streak of spiritual light flew from its head into the dark cosmos, instantly unfolding into ten directions of blurry images.
Layer upon layer of overlapping blurry images crisscrossed, appearing and disappearing, evolving into a myriad of worldly affairs, three thousand great chiliocosms, from the celestial palaces beyond the heavens to the yellow spring, and to the mansions of the Nine Nethers.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
In fact, most professionals could only see the twelve twisting yellow palaces, their vision already exhausted.
The magnificent pagoda that had broken through the atmosphere and delved into the cosmos, as well as the goddess statue on the pagoda, and even the myriad of worldly affairs and endless worlds manifested by the spiritual light above the goddess statue’s head, could only be seen by a very few people.
—To fight against such an opponent?
Someone hesitated and began to release their dharma body, only to find that their dharma body couldn’t be released at all.
“Impossible!”
“My dharma body won’t come out.”
“Me too!”
The professionals exclaimed.
They were suppressed!
The opponent’s dharma body was too powerful; merely by the power of the laws it emitted, it suppressed the entire field!
“Thank you, Your Excellency.”
Xu Xingke said sincerely.
“Thank me for what?” the woman asked.
“Such a dharma body, just looking at it, I feel infinitely benefited, so I should express my gratitude,” Xu Xingke said.
Seeing his sincere face, the woman couldn’t help but sigh and said with a smile:
“In such a lowly place, there is still an understanding person, which shows that all beings have spiritual nature.”
“However,” Xu Xingke said, “Shen Ye and the others—”
“A group of pure children, I will not make things difficult for them,” the woman said softly.
“Then—”
“I’ll take a look at the Immortal Kingdom and return it to you soon.”
Having said that, the woman vanished in a flash.
In mid-air.
The strong individuals exchanged glances.
“Our strength will be suppressed to level nine when entering our universe,” Jian Ji whispered.
Xu Xingke shook his head, pulled out a windproof lighter, lit a cigarette, and then said languidly:
“Her dharma body is too powerful; there’s no way to fight.”
Everyone looked up.
Although that person had disappeared into the void, their dharma body still remained in the sky.
—A dharma body beyond the imagination of professionals.
It seemed to contain all the ultimate truths, all the laws, and all the powers of the universe.
It was just sitting there, allowing professionals to observe it at will, letting everyone know what it meant to fight a losing battle.
Xu Xingke extended a finger.
“What?” Jian Ji asked.
“One thought—she only needs one thought, and our world will be destroyed,” Xu Xingke said.
“Then Shen Ye and the others…” Jian Ji said.
“With her strength, she actually appeared on her own initiative, waited for us to show up, and explained the situation. I think she’s from the lawful alignment,” Xu Xingke said.
“Then let’s wait, we can only wait,” Jian Ji said.
Xu Xingke squinted his eyes and whispered, “Yes, whatever we want to do, we must first preserve ourselves.”
…
Nightmare World.
In a forest.
The woman appeared silently and waved her hand.
Four youths landed on the grass.
The woman said,
“Don’t be nervous, you are those who passed the test of the Immortal Kingdom. You just need to connect to the Immortal Kingdom.”
“I will not make things difficult for you.”
The youths looked at each other.
“My word is my bond,” the woman said.
She extended her hand and pressed it down over the air.
A gust of wind blew through—
An invisible force swept around, engulfing the entire forest and flattening it.
The four of them looked at each other in horror.
To achieve such an effect with a casual strike, wouldn’t it be easy to kill them?
“Please trust me, children.”
The woman said softly.
Before she finished speaking, streaks of light gradually flew from the sky.
Professionals landed one by one, knelt on one knee, and saluted the woman.
“Greetings to Yun Ni Tianzun, from the 99th Dimension Immortal Dynasty Universe!”
These professionals said in unison.
“Who are you?” the woman asked with a gentle smile.
The leading man looked up at her, his face filled with admiration, and respectfully said:
“We are members of the royal family of the Second Empire of the ‘Reality Layer,’ here to seek the Hun Tian Shu.”
“—Is Yun Ni Tianzun also here to find the Hun Tian Shu?”
The woman shook her head and said:
“I heard about what happened here and was curious, so I came to take a look.”
She casually released a spell.
Mysterious light scattered over the professionals, invigorating them and completely healing their various injuries.
The man rejoiced and said:
“Thank you, Yun Ni Tianzun, truly a compassionate saint, revered by all. We have always admired you in our hearts.”
“Not worth mentioning.” The woman waved her hand, as if she had just done something insignificant.
The man looked her up and down, his admiration growing stronger, and he bowed again, saying:
“Tianzun, do you have time? I would like to invite you to visit us at your convenience.”
“Alright,” Yun Ni Tianzun met his gaze and smiled, “that will have to wait until I have free time.”
She stopped speaking to the man and turned her gaze to the four youths.
Nangong Sirui was the first to speak:
“Okay, I’ve collected a lot of soil as per the mission requirements, which I can hand over to the Immortal Kingdom.”
“Please try, thank you,” the woman said.
Nangong Sirui began to summon the Immortal Kingdom.
A line of faint light instantly appeared before Shen Ye’s eyes:
“Allow him to complete this mission?”
—So many people are watching!
And there’s an incredibly powerful Yun Ni Tianzun!
“Just pretend you haven’t merged with my Dharma form. Do as you would normally,” Shen Ye silently replied.
Another line of faint light appeared: “Then, I will only protect myself.”
The next second.
Nangong Sirui immediately showed an attentive expression and said to Yun Ni Tianzun:
“It seems I need to place all this soil on the ground.”
“Then place it,” the woman said with a smile.
All the soil was poured onto the ground, and then, with a whoosh, it disappeared.
A sudden change occurred—
The moment the soil vanished, Yun Ni Tianzun also disappeared with it.
In the dharma body.
A pile of dirt and the woman appeared simultaneously.
The Four Kings and the Demonic Beast were thrown into the prison of the previous sealed land by Shen Ye opening the door beforehand.
So there was only one stone tablet in the entire Immortal Kingdom.
And—
A few square meters of empty space.
Other than that, there was only boundless darkness.
All the soil was poured out.
After a few breaths.
The soil slowly sank into the ground and disappeared.
“Is this the Immortal Kingdom?”
Yun Ni Tianzun looked around curiously.
At this moment.
Only she was in the Immortal Kingdom.
No one, except Shen Ye, could observe the situation here.
The woman reached out to touch the darkness, feeling the turbulent power within, and a half-smile played on her lips.
“There are no laws of dreams and reality here, not a single trace.”
“So the ‘Hun Tian Shu’ was taken away long ago.”
“I guess—”
“That technique is on you, isn’t it, Charlotte?”
The woman whispered to herself.
Shen Ye listened silently, his ears ringing as if thunder had struck.
Charlotte?
How did she know Charlotte?
And she knew the Hun Tian Shu wasn’t here just by looking at the Immortal Kingdom.
How strong was her power?
The woman fell silent for a few seconds, then finally uttered the last sentence:
“So, as long as I kill you, I can get the Hun Tian Shu.”
After saying this, her whole demeanor completely changed.
If just now she was benevolent and kind, at this moment, her expression was full of hatred and ruthlessness.
“A wasted trip.”
The woman took a step, about to leave, then suddenly remembered something.
She stood still, forming a spell seal with both hands.
Boom—
A fierce white light broke through the void, instantly disappearing without a trace.
The woman’s face showed pleasure, and she said with a resentful tone:
“The royal family of the Second Empire of the ‘Reality Layer’? How dare you look directly at me and covet me—I want to see your expressions when you return to the ‘Reality Layer’ and find that your planet has been completely destroyed.”
“I’ll kill you then.”
“—Anyone who tries to snatch this technique from me must die!”
“This dead planet must also be completely destroyed!!!”
She laughed maniacally for a few times, like a madwoman, then suddenly reined in all her aura, and her face once again showed a gentle and compassionate expression.
“It seems more people are coming…”
The void opened.
She moved gracefully, creating dappled starlight with her magic, surrounding herself to enhance her majesty.
After tidying her appearance again, she stepped across the void and returned to the edge of the forest.
At this time, everyone was still waiting in place.
More and more cosmic arrivals came, all respectfully calling out:
“Cloud-rainbow Heavenly Venerate!”
The famous Female Heavenly Venerate then showed a gentle smile and bowed slightly to the crowd.
“Everyone, I have already investigated the situation.”
Silence fell.
Everyone waited for her next words.
She parted her lips, and said clearly:
“The Hun Tian Shu is indeed still within the Immortal Kingdom, but it is too elusive, making it difficult to find its true whereabouts.”
Silence.
In the silence, something violent and invisible began to spread in everyone’s hearts.
The Female Heavenly Venerate smiled faintly, shook her head, and said:
“I just came here to see, and now that the excitement is over, I shall return to the Cloud-Rainbow Holy Palace in the 99th Heaven.”
“Everyone—”
She suddenly closed her mouth, looking strangely towards one direction.
Everyone followed her gaze.
Among the four youths, a handsome young man was holding something and pointing it at the Cloud-Rainbow Heavenly Venerate.
“Child, what are you doing?” Cloud-Rainbow Heavenly Venerate asked softly.
“Heavenly Venerate Sister, you are truly too beautiful. Your character and demeanor are simply a million times exemplary. My admiration for you is like a surging silver river, endless!”
Shen Ye said, stepping forward while speaking, and displayed his phone screen in front of the Female Heavenly Venerate.
The Female Heavenly Venerate narrowed her beautiful eyes, staring at the screen.
The video was already edited, even using beauty filters to add many sacred and majestic special effects.
The title of the first episode was: “Female Heavenly Venerate Descends to the Mortal World, Saving the Wounded from All Universes, Everyone Rejoices.”
The video content was precisely the scene where she had just released her spell to heal everyone.
Several close-up shots of the injured were included, followed by everyone kneeling on one knee, their faces showing reverence as they saluted.
The final shot—
The female Heavenly Venerate, benevolent and kind, like a celestial being descending to earth, stood among the crowd, emanating bursts of divine light.
“This light… I didn’t have…”
The Female Heavenly Venerate hesitated.
“It’s just a little special effect, only able to show one-billionth of your magnificent presence,” Shen Ye said.
Damn it.
When she was merely looked at, she annihilated an entire planet of the Second Empire with a single move.
And she was even planning to destroy the dead planet.
She absolutely couldn’t be allowed to do that!
With current insufficient strength, we can only resort to indirect means to save the country.
Moreover, she actually knew about Charlotte, so no matter what, we must find a way to establish a connection!
Shen Ye said earnestly:
“This is the first episode.”
“Later, there’s another episode where you destroy a forest with a single move, yet you’re kind and amiable to us children. This stark contrast between your immense power and your attitude towards the weak can also make an episode.”
“Is that so?” The Female Heavenly Venerate smiled.
Yes.
With your immense power, you didn’t kill people in person. It must be for some reason.
Why?
Just look at the professionals kneeling all over the ground, and you’ll understand.
“And the third episode is currently being edited,” Shen Ye said.
“No need, I don’t care about these things, they are meaningless,” the Female Heavenly Venerate said.
“It’s meaningful,” Shen Ye said.
The Female Heavenly Venerate glanced at him, a trace of almost imperceptible chill flashing in her eyes.
Shen Ye, however, seemed oblivious and continued:
“The matter of the Hun Tian Shu has spread throughout multiple universes. From now on, the Dead Planet will become a foothold for powerful individuals from various cosmic layers.”
“We will spread your good name on the Dead Planet, so that every powerful being who arrives at the Dead Planet will revere your every word and action, and praise your every move.”
“They will not only see the video, but also take all this back to their own universes, forming a viral—no, forming a wide and rapid傳頌!”
The Female Heavenly Venerate froze.
She wouldn’t do these things herself.
Doing them herself would be self-praise and would have a negative effect.
But if someone who intensely admired her did it, others wouldn’t say anything.
At most, they would just think that Yun Ni Tianzun was very loved.
Moreover—
Her gaze fell on Shen Ye.
A teenager of about sixteen.
Such an underage child does not yet possess a complete worldview, has no utilitarian motives, and acts purely out of passion.
The effect would be even better.
Hmm…
She had said that the Hun Tian Shu was still in the Immortal Kingdom, merely to witness more bloodshed and extract a little enjoyment from boring and mundane cultivation.
If the Dead Planet continued to exist, it would indeed become a gathering place for many powerful individuals from various universes.
To spread her good name…
It was suitable.
Cloud-Rainbow Heavenly Venerate sighed and said:
“I don’t approve of what you’re doing.”
Shen Ye showed a look of disappointment.
However, the Cloud-Rainbow Heavenly Venerate reached out, gently stroked Shen Ye’s head, and then said:
“But you’re just a child, and I can’t really scold you. Never mind, do as you wish.”
She was tall and slender, stroking Shen Ye’s head effortlessly, even more like a deity showing compassion to the world.
The next second.
The Cloud-Rainbow Heavenly Venerate glowed with countless flecks of pure white light, and her entire being soared into the sky, disappearing in an instant.
“Farewell, Heavenly Venerate, as you return to the 99th-level Immortal Dynasty Universe!”
All the professionals shouted in unison.
As soon as the woman left.
The cards on the four youths simultaneously flashed with light, instantly teleporting them away.
The Descenders, unclear about their relationship with the woman, did not stop them immediately.
Swish, swish, swish, swish—
The four reappeared in the square of Xirang High School.
“How’s the situation?”
Xu Xingke’s voice came through.
The surroundings were filled with high-level professionals, all looking nervous and wary.
“She glanced at the Immortal Kingdom and then left.”
Nangong Sirui said.
“That Female Heavenly Venerate said that the Hun Tian Shu is still in the Immortal Kingdom,” Xiao Mengyu said.
“She’s truly kind and good to people, no doubt about it,” Guo Yunye said.
Shen Ye didn’t speak, just lowered his head, fiddling with his phone.
Everyone suddenly looked up.
The overlapping, endless dharma bodies in the sky no longer exerted pressure.
They transformed into soft and brilliant multicolored lights, rapidly vanishing.
“This Cloud-Rainbow Heavenly Venerate is powerful and benevolent, all the Descenders in the Nightmare World bowed to her.”
Xiao Mengyu said with emotion.
Beep!
Shen Ye’s phone rang.
Everyone looked at him.
“Nothing, I’m posting a video of that Heavenly Venerate,” Shen Ye said with a smile.
Not just posting videos.
After he posted the video, he immediately upvoted it on the world public network.
Tips, likes, collections, or even just clicks, could increase the video’s overall score.
Shen Ye took out his hundred million and quickly bought various data, and in a short while, he pushed the video to the top of the world rankings.
“Is it that Female Heavenly Venerate’s video?”
Xu Xingke took out his phone to watch the video.
Others also curiously opened their phones, found the video at the top of the list, clicked on it, and played it.
On the other side.
A mobile phone marketing specialty store.
Cloud-Rainbow Heavenly Venerate stood there, but no one could see her.
She picked up her phone and opened the online video rankings.
Her video was at the top.
Number one.
She opened the content and watched it again carefully.
No problem.
If only ordinary people saw it, it would be meaningless.
But just like that young man said—
Many, many professionals would come to this world and see her video.
This matter…
It did make her happy.
Alright, it was time to find Charlotte.
Everything here should be destroyed.
Cloud-Rainbow Heavenly Venerate waved her hand.
She looked at herself on the phone, and the spell that had already formed stopped.
The world’s number one clicks, number one tips, number one likes, number one collections.
The spread effect and speed were good.
This planet could allow powerful individuals from countless universes to admire her elegance.
…it’s a bit of a pity.
Cloud-Rainbow Heavenly Venerate was hesitating when she saw another video rapidly climbing, surpassing one video after another, and even kicking her video off the top spot.
Who?
“Cloud-Rainbow Heavenly Venerate, Episode Two”.
The surging, terrifying murderous intent instantly vanished.
Now.
The world’s number one clicks, number one tips, number one likes, number one collections were still hers.
But it was the new her who defeated the old her.
The first and second places on the rankings were both hers!
Interesting.
If there were a third part…
Wouldn’t the top three all be hers?
A slight smile played on Cloud-Rainbow Heavenly Venerate’s lips, and the spell in her hand dissipated as well.
—To be frank, when she was in a good mood, she was still very beautiful, worthy of being called the first fairy of the ninety-nine layer universe.
“Let him stay for a while.”
A smile appeared in her eyes, she put down her phone, stepped into the void, and disappeared.
Universe.
“Realization Layer” Universe.
Yun Ni Xianzi appeared, standing in the endless dark void.
She waited silently for a while.
The void flashed.
Several professionals appeared silently.
—These were precisely the professionals who had first arrived at the edge of the forest in the Nightmare World and exchanged pleasantries with her.
“Strange.”
“Yes, where is our world?”
“The transmission must have gone wrong.”
“No, this is our world.”
“The coordinates are correct.”
The professionals chattered amongst themselves.
They suddenly fell silent and looked up.
In the dark and lonely cosmos.
A white-robed immortal maiden stood proudly, looking down upon them all.
“Cloud-Rainbow Heavenly Venerate! How are you here?”
The leading professional was surprised and delighted.
“Didn’t you say I could visit when I had time?” Cloud-Rainbow Heavenly Venerate smiled.
“Of course! But now there’s a problem…”
“Can’t find your planet?”
“Yes, huh? You know about this?”
“I’m quite good at gathering intelligence—how about I use a spell to see what happened?”
“Thank you, Heavenly Venerate!”
Cloud-Rainbow Heavenly Venerate then showed a compassionate expression, formed a spell seal with both hands, and pointed towards the void.
Endless light and shadows immediately appeared.
A vast and magnificent light formed a planet, slowly rotating in the universe.
“Is this the planet?”
The Female Heavenly Venerate asked.
“Precisely,” everyone said in unison.
The Female Heavenly Venerate nodded and said nothing more.
The next second.
A fierce streak of light swept from the cosmos, slamming into the planet.
“No!”
The leading professional cried out in despair.
The planet began to fall into ruin.
One powerful professional after another tried to escape, but they were bound to the planet by the power of the spell, able only to die in despair and agony.
Countless mortals were like ants, perishing in vast numbers.
The entire planet disintegrated, gradually turning into cosmic dust.
Cloud-Rainbow Heavenly Venerate’s gaze fell on those people.
Those professionals who had just returned here were all staring blankly, still not having recovered.
“Hehehe.” Cloud-Rainbow Heavenly Venerate finally couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
She quickly covered her mouth.
…No.
Wait a few more minutes.
When they fall into madness and despair…
It would be more interesting to kill them then.
On the other side.
The World Policy Committee held an emergency meeting.
The meeting heard the testimony of the four youths and watched Shen Ye’s video.
After urgent discussions—
The powerful individuals of the Dead Planet were divided into two factions.
One faction advocated participating in the competition for the Hun Tian Shu, believing that once they obtained this art, they would no longer fear other cosmic invaders.
The other faction advocated neutrality, declaring to all worlds that the Dead Planet would no longer participate in any affairs of the Nightmare World, and would only be responsible for providing peripheral venues and resource services, earning a small fee for their efforts.
—This removed the Dead Planet from the eye of the storm.
No matter how turbulent the Nightmare World became, the Dead Planet would not pose a threat to anyone, nor would it participate in it.
Outsiders would not target the Dead Planet!
Strictly speaking, both sides had valid points, all aimed at ensuring the Dead Planet’s survival.
No one was betraying the Dead Planet.
Should they contend for the Hun Tian Shu?
—Or remain neutral?
“Once we compete for the Hun Tian Shu, the ordinary people of our world will immediately suffer. Those Descenders will act without scruple.”
“Absolutely millions will die in unnatural ways—that’s the most conservative estimate!”
Cang Nanyan roared.
Everyone knew his words were true, so they remained silent.
Patriarch Nangong stood up, sneering, “Only the strong can survive! If they get the Hun Tian Shu and casually cast a spell on the Dead Planet before leaving—”
“Forget the common people, even we will be finished!”
That was also correct.
Everyone started whispering to each other, unable to make a decision.
This time.
Even Xu Xingke was hesitant.
No one knew—
The Hun Tian Shu had long been taken away by Charlotte.
And no one knew—
This world was almost destroyed.
Only Shen Ye.
He was oblivious to everything around him, engrossed in making the third video.
This video cost a lot of money; he hired Kunlun to gather myths and legends from various religions, specifically researching a set of special effects to highlight the deed of “Cloud-Rainbow Fairy enlightening the various universal powerful entities.”
The video was completed.
Published.
All subsequent actions followed suit.
A few hours later.
A woman once again emerged from the void.
Cloud-Rainbow Heavenly Venerate.
She wiped the blood from her hands with a clean white handkerchief.
—Those people from the “Reality Layer” Second Empire were utterly uninteresting.
When they faced her true self, they were all terrified, not even daring to resist.
It didn’t bring much joy.
The woman sighed, standing languidly at the mobile phone store.
She carefully watched the top three videos on the world video ranking, listened to the praise of herself from ordinary people and professionals, and nodded thoughtfully.
Now there was a new problem—
Even if her videos had started to spread widely, there were only three episodes in total.
To create a continuous effect that would keep powerful individuals from various universes constantly following her—
New material was needed!
The Female Heavenly Venerate pondered for a moment, then vanished from where she stood in a flash.
Xirang High School.
Shen Ye was engrossed in scrolling through comments when Cloud-Rainbow Heavenly Venerate appeared.
“Ah! Heavenly Venerate!”
Shen Ye quickly stood up.
“Don’t panic, I don’t eat people, I just came to take a look,” Cloud-Rainbow Heavenly Venerate said with a smile.
“I took the liberty of posting your video, I hope you don’t mind,” Shen Ye said.
“Didn’t encounter any problems, did you?” Cloud-Rainbow Heavenly Venerate asked.
“No, you can see the comments—everyone is full of praise, deeply revering you from the bottom of their hearts,” Shen Ye said.
—Unfriendly comments have all been deleted, blocked, and muted in three consecutive actions.
Kunlun was in charge of this task.
Cloud-Rainbow Heavenly Venerate took his phone, scrolled through the comments, and as she read them one by one, the smile on her face grew softer.
“I don’t have any more material for you. What do you plan to do next?”
She asked in a questioning tone.
“Gift phones,” Shen Ye said.
“What does that mean?” Cloud-Rainbow Heavenly Venerate asked.
“Every powerful individual who descends on the Dead Planet can receive a free phone, which contains your three videos.”
“—This is to facilitate them to spread your prestige in their own worlds after they return.”
Shen Ye said.
Cloud-Rainbow Heavenly Venerate looked at him with some surprise.
This little fellow is truly dedicated!
If this world hadn’t become the focus of multiple universes, if powerful individuals from multiple universes hadn’t been appearing in this world—
She would actually tend to destroy this world.
After all.
This was where Charlotte had stayed.
—She and everything about her should die!
Cloud-Rainbow Heavenly Venerate clenched her fingers, but found that she had no murderous intent at the moment.
She had just destroyed a planet and killed a bunch of fools.
Too lazy to act at this moment.
And—
Things here were quite novel.
“Heavenly Venerate, I have to tell you, there is an unwritten rule in our creative industry,” Shen Ye’s voice rang out again.
Cloud-Rainbow Heavenly Venerate snapped out of her thoughts and asked, “What rule?”
“It’s best not to stop updating—if you stop updating, people won’t be able to see new content about you, and your popularity might decline—of course, for you specifically, it’s absolutely impossible to decline in the short term,” Shen Ye said.
Cloud-Rainbow Heavenly Venerate heard it and thought it made sense.
“I actually don’t care about these empty reputations at all, but I don’t want your efforts to be in vain, so tell me, what do you need me to do?”
She asked with a smile.
Shen Ye joyfully said, “It just so happens that the powerful individuals of our world are holding a meeting. Why don’t you go to the meeting and say a few words to them? That would be the best material!”
