Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 377

Dong.

A wooden box was placed on the bar counter.

The necromancer James smiled and said, “My dear Mr. Norton, I think you should take a good look at this gift.”

Norton placed his hand on the wooden box, sensed it for a moment, and nodded, saying:

“Indeed, it’s a good thing.”

“Then, I’d like to exchange it for information—you seem to have some information about the Immortal Kingdom,” James said.

Norton looked around.

The bar was empty, with only Eudelia standing behind the counter, mixing a cocktail.

This bar had already been bought by Failun.

A “Closed” sign hung on the door, so ordinary people wouldn’t come in.

“We need to wait a little longer.”

Norton lowered his voice and said.

“How long?” James frowned.

“A few hours, I guess. I need to receive my orders before I can sell any news.”

“Haha, a few hours is certainly no problem—I’ll leave now and come back later to find you.”

James felt relieved, turned, and walked out of the bar.

“Guest, you forgot your box.”

Norton called out loudly from behind.

James replied without looking back:

“It’s just a small token of my regard, you can keep it—but please be wary of those guys from the practical level. One of their important figures has died, and they’re going crazy everywhere—they might even involve you.”

The bar door closed.

He left.

Norton pressed his hand on the box, lightly flipped it, and it was put into his ring.

“What’s inside?” Eudelia asked.

“A crown,” Norton said.

The two looked at each other.

“It seems they don’t know the true heritage of the royal family,” Eudelia said.

“These Descended Ones think we’re easy to bully, but the entire Nightmare World has never been completely extinguished… they wouldn’t understand,” Norton said.

“Yes, are you ready?”

“Don’t rush, we must first restore our nation… and get all the other holy artifacts.”

“That’s right, Your Majesty—but should we tell Paige about this?”

“I’ll tell him when I’m ready.”

Thump.

The hotel door opened.

A tall and beautiful woman walked in.

She was so striking that she attracted everyone’s attention.

“I have something to say to you.”

The woman said.

She displayed a golden emblem on her hand.

Norton’s expression changed instantly.

Eudelia was also surprised and whispered:

“The Golden Chapter of the Earth… are you a messenger of the Earth?”

“I am Carrula, and I have something to discuss with both of you,” Carrula said.

Just then.

The bar door was pushed open again.

The few people all turned their heads.

They saw a young girl in a bamboo hat carrying a sword walk in.

“It’s you—you’re Paige’s friend. Come, wait here for a while.”

Norton looked at the girl and said.

It was this girl and Paige who had helped him escape last time.

Paige had said she was a trustworthy partner.

“Where’s Paige? I couldn’t find him,” the girl said.

“You might have missed him. He was at the opera house earlier—but he’ll probably come back later,” Norton said.

“Okay.” Xiao Mengyu walked over.

Eudelia smiled at her, poured her a glass of spring water.

“Messenger of the Earth, you personally came to Evernight City and found me. What are your instructions?” Norton turned to Carrula.

Carrula said: “I heard that many changes have taken place in the world, and I was dispatched by the Earth Mother to investigate the truth.”

“I can tell you about it,” Norton said.

— The Earth Mother is a deity, the god who supports the entire world.

Any race must maintain basic respect for her messengers.

“Okay, thank you very much then,” Carrula said.

She sat down next to Xiao Mengyu, subtly glanced at the girl, then politely averted her gaze.

At this moment, Xiao Mengyu had just taken off her bamboo hat, placed her sword on the bar, nodded to Eudelia in greeting, and took the glass of water from her hand.

Carrula then got a clear look at the girl.

“Can I start now?” Norton asked.

No response.

Carrula turned her head again, even her body, and stared intently at Xiao Mengyu, examining her from head to toe.

None of them understood her meaning.

“Hello, have we met?” Xiao Mengyu asked.

“—Are you Paige’s friend?” Carrula asked back, not answering.

“Yes,” Xiao Mengyu said.

“Then you are trustworthy… I might as well tell you directly.”

Carrula’s expression was incredibly serious, yet accompanied by a gentle smile:

“You possess a sword art, and you have cultivated it, so your ‘resonance degree’ with the earth has broken through its limits; you are one of us, even another Earth Mother.”

“—Come with me. I will take you to the depths of the earth veins. Your speed in cultivating sword techniques will double, and you will gain various incredible and mysterious powers.”

Xiao Mengyu was stunned.

Norton and Eudelia were both moved.

“Quickly agree to her. This is an extremely rare opportunity.”

Eudelia urgently patted Xiao Mengyu’s arm.

“But why? We’ve never met before, and I don’t even know your name.”

Xiao Mengyu said incredibly.

Carrula leaned in and whispered in her ear: “You have a destiny with the earth.”

“Why?” Xiao Mengyu asked.

“You’re in charge of killing, the earth is in charge of burying, it’s a perfect match.” Carrula said.

“Hey, there are too many killers. Wouldn’t all of them be a perfect match with the earth?” Norton interjected.

Carrula glanced at him and sneered:

“When it comes to killing, no one can compare to the sword art she possesses.”

Xiao Mengyu, however, shook her head and said, “I don’t like killing.”

Carrula said without hesitation:

“No one likes to kill, but if you can cleave a planet with one sword, the entire planet will be at peace; if you can pierce the universe with one sword, then the entire universe will be peaceful everywhere.”

“…That’s true,” Xiao Mengyu said.

Carrula placed the Golden Chapter of the Earth on the bar counter, staring at Xiao Mengyu and saying:

“If you want to enhance your Dharma Form and ‘Name’, the Earth Mother can definitely help you, but you must be willing.”

“If you are willing to join us, take this Golden Chapter of the Earth, and it will send you to the Great Earth Canyon.”

“If you are not willing, then so be it.”

Xiao Mengyu said, “But I’m an outsider—not from your world. Can I still join then?”

Carrula’s expression remained unchanged, and she said with certainty, “Now you have a chance to join us, but this opportunity is only once, please make your choice carefully.”

Xiao Mengyu was a little moved.

The Nightmare World was extremely exclusive, showing no kindness to any Descended Ones, or even people from the Death Planet.

Yet now she had the chance to join them.

—And it was the most mysterious Earth Mother!

In fact, the Death Planet had already declared its neutrality.

As long as she didn’t enter the Immortal Kingdom, and didn’t covet any of its treasures and rewards, that would be fine.

To become stronger…

What’s wrong with meeting the Earth Mother?

She needed stronger power to fight alongside Shen Ye!

Xiao Mengyu reached out her hand and picked up the Golden Chapter of the Earth.

Upon seeing this, Carrula couldn’t help but smile, silently chanting a spell.

The Golden Chapter of the Earth suddenly emitted a golden light.

Xiao Mengyu was enveloped by the golden light, instantly shattering space and disappearing.

“Realm Shuttle?”

Eudelia asked.

“Yes, it’s faster this way,” Carrula said.

She waved her hand, setting up numerous restrictions around them, then opened her mouth and asked:

“Alright, where were we?”

“You said you were coming to investigate the happenings in the outside world.” Norton shrugged.

“O King of Humanity, I actually came for another matter,” Carrula said.

“What?” Norton asked.

“Aren’t you going to activate the holy artifact of the human race?”

“…You know?”

“Of course, we are also about to activate the holy artifact of the Earth.”

…

On the other side.

“First, among the teams exploring the Immortal Kingdom, bring those who have passed the Immortal Kingdom’s trial as honored guests. This will increase the drop level and drop rate of items from the Immortal Kingdom.”

Drop rate…

Shen Ye pondered for a few moments, then crossed out the latter half of the sentence.

He rewrote it as:

“…it will be easier to pass the Immortal Kingdom’s trial.”

Alright!

This was the first piece of information.

As for the second, it was the weakness of the two giants guarding the entrance to the Bone Palace.

Shen Ye quickly finished writing, read it over from beginning to end, then copied a few more versions, and placed them on the table.

“Remember, the price of each guide released must be higher than the last.”

Shen Ye said earnestly.

“Understood, we must make a fortune.” Big Skeleton squatted on the chair opposite the table, also responding earnestly.

It gathered all the guides.

“Shall I go?”

“Wait—you’re at the sixth stage of the Dharma Realm now, have you figured out your development direction?” Shen Ye asked.

“Yes,” Big Skeleton said.

“Can you tell me?”

“Since you asked, I’ll mercifully tell you. I plan to be your auxiliary fighter, hidden within the Dharma Realm, only appearing when you summon me, and unleashing a full-power strike.”

“The advantages of doing this are…”

Big Skeleton started talking voluminously.

Shen Ye sat opposite it, secretly took out the fan, and gently fanned it.

—I need to find someone to test the power of this fan.

Other living people are too prone to accidents.

And I can’t bear to use it on myself.

After all, it might break my defense!

—I guess I’ll have to ask my brother to try.

With one sweep of the fan.

A sudden change occurred—

Countless meteor-like projectiles appeared around the Big Skeleton, covering it completely.

“What is this!”

Big Skeleton asked in surprise.

Shen Ye quickly said, “Sorry, this fan of mine has a special ability. I accidentally fanned you just now—”

“Be careful, it can break your defense.”

Big Skeleton couldn’t help but smile wryly: “Break my defense? Well, that’s completely meaningless.”

“Yes, indeed it is,” Shen Ye also said.

As the two were speaking, they saw the meteors suddenly spread out, transforming into lines of large characters that scrolled past Big Skeleton.

“Mama’s Boy Skeleton.”

“If your mom wasn’t awesome, you’d be long gone.”

“How long has it been since you fought seriously?”

“Just messing around every day.”

“Look at what you do every day?”

“Your body has been shattered countless times.”

“Like a turtle.”

“Any other undead would have long since committed suicide out of shame.”

“How do you still have the face to live?”

These large characters continuously scrolled and flashed, while voices full of mockery recited each line of text.

The Big Skeleton was completely wrapped in countless strips of text, unable to see anything but a screen full of scrolling characters.

It was already bewildered.

Shen Ye was also greatly impressed, he couldn’t help but whisper:

“This is bullet comments…”

To curse someone using bullet comments, this is simply too much.

He lowered his head and looked at the fan in his hand.

The fan couldn’t hold back anymore.

“You’re the one who fanned it, brother—I wasn’t the one who wanted to curse it, you fanned it, right?”

The fan explained indignantly.

“It’s fine,” Shen Ye calmly retracted his gaze, nodding slightly, “My companion won’t be so easily emotionally scarred.”

No sooner had he spoken, than the Big Skeleton jumped up, howling mournfully:

“I’m not a Mama’s Boy Skeleton! I’m not a turtle! I’ve taken every challenge seriously!”

“You can’t say that about me!”

It covered its face with both hands, burrowed into the void, and disappeared instantly.

Shen Ye: “…”

It’s over.

He really got emotionally scarred.

I shouldn’t have hurt my brother like that.

I should have just fanned him twice earlier.

The fan made a sound: “You can use two more times today, take it easy.”

“What? Only three times a day?” Shen Ye asked in surprise.

“Getting old,” the fan sighed.

Shen Ye hesitated a little.

This fan, with a single flick, could only break defenses.

He didn’t know if it was just a mental defense break, or if the physical defense of the body was also broken.

Should I try it myself?

He raised the fan, pointing it at himself.

“Forget it, I’m afraid you’d tear me apart,” the fan said.

“It’s fine, I’m not so easily broken,” Shen Ye said.

“Don’t you have any idea what kind of things you’ve done?” the fan said faintly.

Shen Ye then dismissed the idea.

—Forget it.

Why would I be so hard on myself?

This fan…

I’ll put it away for now, in case someone else picks it up and flicks it, breaking my own defenses.

“How about you stay in my Dharma Form?”

Shen Ye asked.

“As long as I don’t go back into the seal, anything is fine,” the fan said.

“Good, then go to my Dharma Form.”

Shen Ye directly activated “Encounter on Yao Terrace Beneath the Moon,” placing the fan on the stone tablet.

The fan stood on the stone tablet, looking left and right.

—There was only a few square meters of empty space under the stone tablet.

In the distance was endless destructive darkness.

And a bone palace stood on the mountains.

Other than that—

There was nothing.

“Damn, this is so terrifying… I’d rather be sealed…”

The fan’s composure broke, and it grumbled in a low voice.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the two giants seemed to sense something, and both looked towards the fan.

The fan promptly shut its mouth and lay motionless on the stone tablet.

Completely terrified.

How could there be such a terrifying Dharma Form in the world?

—This is a total rip-off!

Shen Ye withdrew his Dharma Form and rubbed his eyes.

Opening the door three times in a row and dealing with so many things was effectively working through the night.

Drowsiness surged.

But things weren’t all done yet.

—That necromancer James had given him two boxes.

What’s inside?

Let’s check the two boxes before resting.

Shen Ye flipped his hand, took out two boxes, and placed them on the table.

That James shouldn’t be a necromancer, right?

He had no idea which layer of the universe that strong expert was from, or whether he could organize enough people to defeat the giants in front of the Bone Palace.

Shen Ye thought to himself, raised his hand, and was about to open the wooden box.

Suddenly.

The void opened.

A graceful figure quietly appeared in front of the table.

Shen Ye stopped his hand.

“Greetings, Cloud Rainbow Heavenly Venerate.” He hastily saluted.

“Mm.”

Cloud Rainbow Heavenly Venerate’s gaze was immediately drawn to the two boxes on the table.

“Someone gave these to you?” she asked.

“Yes—they were given by other cosmic powerhouses,” Shen Ye said.

“Why did they give them to you?” Cloud Rainbow Heavenly Venerate asked.

“They asked me about the process of passing the Immortal Kingdom’s trial, and some information about the Immortal Kingdom,” Shen Ye said without hesitation.

Cloud Rainbow Heavenly Venerate nodded.

Immortal Kingdom.

It has already been destroyed.

The Hunyuan Art is not there at all.

Those guys are still working so hard, it’s simply ridiculous.

“Why didn’t you call me sister just now?”

Cloud Rainbow Heavenly Venerate asked.

“Heavenly Venerate appeared too suddenly, I subconsciously called out, forgetting to call you sister,” Shen Ye said truthfully.

“Call me sister and let me hear it,” Cloud Rainbow Heavenly Venerate said, looking out the window, without turning her head.

Shen Ye was surprised.

Big sister, you’re not—

Are you really going to play this game?

Haven’t you heard that what goes around comes around?

“Sister.”

Shen Ye called out “sister.”

“In exchange for your calling me sister—”

Cloud Rainbow Heavenly Venerate pointed at the two boxes from a distance.

Click!

Click!

The two boxes opened directly, and two gray little figures, one large and one small, jumped out.

The gray little figures smiled, immediately saw Shen Ye, and were about to speak, but then they noticed Cloud Rainbow Heavenly Venerate.

The two gray little figures were greatly alarmed and immediately tried to escape.

Cloud Rainbow Heavenly Venerate reached out and grabbed.

The grey little figures were immediately confined in mid-air, unable to move.

“These are the curse little people from the seventy-fourth layer of the universe. Without supreme power, you simply cannot escape their grasp.”

“—Those who haven’t seen them would never know their secrets.”

Cloud Rainbow Heavenly Venerate said.

“Are these not good things?” Shen Ye asked.

“They are indeed good things—they possess special powers and will help you complete all sorts of tasks, just like servants, diligently working for you.”

“No matter how long the time, they will not betray you.”

“Unless—”

“Unless what?” Shen Ye asked.

“Unless their true master issues an order, demanding that they kill you, or hand over all your information, or control you. In short, they will immediately attack you.”

Cloud Rainbow Heavenly Venerate said.

As she explained, a faint light flickered into lines of small text, appearing before Shen Ye:

“This item has a special ability:”

“Without seeing them, one cannot know their true power.”

“Fortunately, with Cloud Rainbow Heavenly Venerate’s explanation, this ability has been nullified, so you can obtain information about this item:”

“Minions of Shadow.”

“Special existence.”

“Description: They possess various incredible powers and will diligently do anything for you until their master issues a new directive.”

“—It’s all just the master’s command.”

Cloud Rainbow Heavenly Venerate was in a good mood and joked:

“Do you want to use them? Actually, they are very useful, as long as you maintain a good relationship with their master, you don’t have to worry about them turning against you.”

“Let’s just forget it,” Shen Ye shook his head repeatedly.

Cloud Rainbow Heavenly Venerate pointed her finger.

The two little figures fell back into the boxes, which Cloud Rainbow Heavenly Venerate sealed with talismans.

“Alright, I actually came here with a serious matter for you.”

Cloud Rainbow Heavenly Venerate said.

“Sister, please speak,” Shen Ye said.

At this moment, a sense of gratitude somewhat rose in his heart.

James’s methods were truly deeply hidden.

If these two little people were allowed to lurk by his side, the other party would soon know that the vampire Baxter was Shen Ye.

That would be troublesome.

Cloud Rainbow Heavenly Venerate turned around and looked at him:

“I was originally in contemplation on the Ninety-Ninth Heaven, on the verge of breaking through and becoming a Saint Venerate-level expert, but a tribulation of inner demons descended.”

“Only by overcoming this inner demon tribulation can I achieve perfect advancement.”

“How to defeat inner demons?” Shen Ye asked.

“I don’t know either—everyone’s inner demons are different, and very few people can cultivate to the Saint Venerate realm, so there aren’t many examples to refer to,” Cloud Rainbow Heavenly Venerate said.

Shen Ye was a little confused.

—Such a grand matter, why are you telling me?

I’m only at the sixth stage of the Dharma Realm.

“Don’t worry, Sister, the video shot yesterday is already on the video chart, and it’s currently number one—I’ll help you dominate the charts with new videos every day.”

Shen Ye said, while speculating.

Cloud Rainbow Heavenly Venerate said: “You’ve indeed done well, I’m very pleased, but now there’s no need to shoot those videos anymore.”

“Hm! Huh?”

“Yes, there’s no need to shoot anymore. I must now focus on facing my inner demon.”

Cloud Rainbow Heavenly Venerate’s figure shifted.

All her radiance and magical fluctuations vanished, and the white ethereal long dress also disappeared, replaced by a simple white shirt and black jeans.

—At this moment, she looked like an ordinary woman from this world.

Aside from being exceptionally beautiful, she was clearly a mortal.

“To deal with inner demons, one must meditate in the mundane world.”

“—I chose your world.”

“But we are the lowest level world in the universe,” Shen Ye said.

“I’ll tell you about the hierarchical structure of the universe later. Now, to ensure I can meditate peacefully here—”

Yun Ni walked back to the window, gazing at the sky.

“A very troublesome fellow has arrived… it wants to destroy everything.”

“Who is it?” Shen Ye asked subconsciously.

“The World Destruction Experiencer. This is an unreasonable fellow who enjoys destroying worlds, finding pleasure in experiencing the changes in laws at the moment of a planet’s destruction.”

Yun Ni’s tone suddenly became a little softer.

She spoke softly:

“Shen Ye, you have done much for me. Strictly speaking, I owe you a favor.”

“—Now, do you want me to save your world?”

“If you do, I can act, but then I won’t owe you a favor anymore.”

Shen Ye said without thinking:

“If I ask my sister to take action, will she be in danger?”

Cloud Rainbow Heavenly Venerate raised an eyebrow in surprise.

He actually asked that.

…Why would anyone ask something like that?

“It’s very dangerous, I might die,” Yun Ni said.

“Then forget it, we’ll do it ourselves,” Shen Ye immediately said, “Anyway, in this ‘Unstable Layer’ universe, no matter how powerful it is, it can’t be that powerful.”

“I’ll inform my teachers and the others.”

He took out his phone, about to dial Xu Xingke’s number, but his phone was snatched away by a hand.

“I was just kidding with you. I’m actually not afraid of it at all.”

Yun Ni placed the phone on the table, looking at him again:

“If I drive that guy away, I won’t owe you a favor.”

After saying that, she vanished in a flash.

Only Shen Ye remained standing in front of the window.

“Favor… when did she owe me a favor?”

“Just because I’m a younger brother?”

“How inexplicable…”

He muttered softly.
