Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 420
byChapter 403: The End-Lord of All Epochs
“You used Carrot Chicken.”
“In the lingering aftershock of this attack, you were deemed negligible.”
Two lines of faint micro text hovered in the void.
Shen Ye gasped for breath, leaning against the hellish stone wall, struggling to alleviate his weariness.
That spell just now had completely missed.
But its aftershock broke through space, time, and life and death, almost costing him his life.
What a terrifying technique!
Shen Ye pulled out a Calming Pill, popped it into his mouth, chewed, and pondered in secret.
—Where did the attack come from?
Why couldn’t he even see the person?
Shen Ye closed his eyes slightly, replaying the entire battle in his mind.
…Not good.
If the enemy could unleash a world-shaking technique without showing themselves—
Why couldn’t they do it again?
Just like in a boxing match, if the enemy missed one punch, the second one was sure to follow.
A profound shadow of death loomed over Shen Ye’s heart.
—Could he really dodge it again?
Time was of the essence—
What he needed most right now was information!
He squatted down, placed his hand on the ground, and activated the mythical narrative of destiny—
“Destiny’s Tool.”
Soon, a profiling appeared in the void:
“The destroyed hellish world appeared so ridiculous before that technique; ”
“Its remaining parts can no longer support the rules of transmigration for the undead, let alone face the next impact of the tide; ”
“Perish, Hell! ”
“All evil and punishment, vanish here with the smoke.”
He saw it!
Shen Ye’s gaze was fixed on the words “the next impact of the tide.”
If—
The World-Shaking Technique was the tide, would it be triggered again?
Is that it?
Shen Ye’s thoughts raced, and he suddenly reached out, lightly touching the glowing micro text in the void.
—I want to know the true meaning of this passage!
The void flickered.
All the glowing micro text disappeared, replaced by lines of golden micro text:
“You have activated ‘Destiny’s Tool’ on the current profiling content ‘the next impact of the tide’!”
“By virtue of the power of your destiny-type mythical narrative, you have obtained further profiling: ”
“Waves come and go in the ocean, going and coming again.”
“Every time it rushes, if it doesn’t destroy the enemy, it will return to the depths of the sea, carrying the ocean’s fury, becoming more violent and powerful.”
“—The tide never stops, constantly strengthening. Only by destroying all of the enemy can it be calmed.”
No need to say more, it will continue to attack!
Shen Ye closed his eyes slightly and began to ponder countermeasures in his mind.
Time, space, and life and death could not avoid this technique.
Then—
The fundamental reason he was able to dodge this technique from the beginning was his narrative!
The narrative “Gossip Protagonist”!
*Clatter.*
Behind him on the stone wall, small pieces of rock peeled off, lightly hitting the ground with a continuous rattling sound.
In the midst of it all, Shen Ye felt his heart gradually tighten.
Perhaps the next wave of “tide” was gathering strength.
—It would be here soon!
But—
Where would it come from?
He had no idea!
Shen Ye looked down at the rooster in his arms.
—Can it still hold on?
The benevolent divine rooster, with a carrot in its beak, responded with resolute eyes.
—I, Rooster Grandfather, am fine!
Shen Ye sighed and silently closed his eyes.
Only narratives and the rooster could affect the World-Shaking technique.
Narratives—
If he used “Blood-sucking Child” to fuse “Gossip Protagonist” with other narratives, the properties of the fused narrative would likely change.
Even if the super-evolved narrative possessed stronger abilities—
Once it lost its ability to distort information, it wouldn’t be able to avoid the World-Shaking technique’s attack!
Then.
To ensure that the “Gossip Protagonist” narrative’s effect remained unchanged and to enhance its power, there was only one way.
—Evolve this narrative.
As early as when he obtained the “Boy Who Lived” narrative, he already knew that there were two ways to evolve a narrative.
One was to devour other narratives;
The second was to use equivalent attribute points to catalyze the narrative’s evolution!
There was no time; the new “wave” could strike at any moment, and he had to make a decision.
Shen Ye roared inwardly:
“Devour the dark gold narrative ‘Peppa’s Boat’ to evolve ‘Gossip Protagonist’.”
The phantom of a door appeared behind him.
The Door ability automatically activated!
Using “Door,” a power from the future, as a medium, the dark gold narrative “Peppa’s Boat,” bestowed by the Dharma Realm, began to decompose.
All the power of the rules flowed into the dark gold narrative “Gossip Protagonist.”
A vague feeling surfaced in Shen Ye’s heart.
—Not enough!
Although both were dark gold narratives, there was a distinction in power within the dark gold category!
The power of the Dharma Realm contained in “Peppa’s Boat” was insufficient to catalyze “Gossip Protagonist” to complete an evolution!
What to do?
What other narratives were suitable for fusion?
Meeting in the Jade Terrace under the Moon, Venerable Sage, Good Brother, and Destiny’s Tool were all his commonly used primary narratives.
Others—
“Devour ‘Group Favorite’,” Shen Ye thought silently.
There was nothing he could do. He had to “ooh-ooh-ooh” the “Ooh-ooh-ooh” narrative first.
—Is it enough now?
A line of faint micro text quietly appeared:
“The pale gold narrative ‘Group Favorite’ has been devoured. Its power is not enough to make ‘Gossip Protagonist’ evolve!”
Still not enough!
Shen Ye felt a pang of heartache.
He had almost never devoured narratives, simply because the birth of each narrative was extremely difficult.
But a dark gold narrative, plus a pale gold narrative, was not enough to make “Gossip Protagonist” evolve.
At this moment.
Shen Ye finally understood why Wanshen and the others, upon hearing that he possessed battle-related mythical narratives, immediately decided to try layer 170 again.
—Although dark gold is good, the gap between it and myth is like a chasm!
There was nothing he could do now.
He couldn’t devour the “Blood-sucking Child” or “Singer” narratives either.
The former was too crucial, and the latter was a special narrative formed by his profession, not within the ranks.
Then—
What other narratives did he have?
The last two narratives:
Silent Baron, Trouble-maker.
Silent Baron was not easy to devour, as it was a narrative bestowed by the Fourth Epoch Creator, Chalukhtorik.
Devouring it rashly, he didn’t know what she would think.
Trouble-maker—
It possessed deeper potential and could cause trouble for any profession.
This was a dark gold combat narrative, he couldn’t bear to part with it!
Wait!
Shen Ye noticed that the moment he had such a thought, “Silent Baron” popped out, hovering lightly above “Gossip Protagonist.”
—Their compatibility is quite high!
Thinking about it, it made sense—
Romantic affairs often came from figures like barons, creating gossip among people.
If the Creator, Chalukhtorik, had any objections—
He would explain it to her specifically!
Everything for survival!
“Devour Silent Baron.”
Shen Ye gritted his teeth.
He was a bit nervous, as no one could control the direction of such a devour.
The next second.
Lines of faint micro text flashed rapidly:
“The identity narrative ‘Silent Baron’ perfectly embodies ‘Gossip Protagonist’, arriving at the opportune moment.”
“It must be said, this is a match made in heaven with extremely high compatibility.”
“Congratulations.”
“Your dark gold narrative ‘Gossip Protagonist’ has completed its style selection, transcended the power chasm of the Dharma Realm, and successfully advanced to a mythical tier narrative. Its attribute changes are as follows: ”
“Gossip Protagonist.”
“Information-type mythical narrative.”
“Description: 1. Any existence harboring malicious intent towards you will receive and transmit information related to you with a bias in your favor; ”
“2. When the Creator, Chalukhtorik, gazes upon you, her opinions will form a barrage of comments, helping you understand the situation in a timely manner. ”
“—The barrier between sentient beings and the Creator has been broken.”
Shen Ye was stunned.
The information now included the four words “in your favor.”
Furthermore.
The Creator Chalukhtorik’s gaze would also form a barrage of comments.
—Is this improvement useful?
Would she mind?
The next instant.
Shen Ye slowly raised his head, gazing at the dark, empty cosmos.
In the midst of it all.
A unique sensation of connection arose—
Like across an boundless sea, something was looking at him from the other side, from afar.
The power to destroy everything had already been accumulated.
It was searching for his location.
Shen Ye unhesitatingly activated the recently advanced mythical narrative.
Instantly.
Several lines of faint micro text appeared in the void:
“The other party received the information: ”
“That fellow who was about to master the World-Traversing Technique has been killed by the aftershock of the World-Shaking Technique. His soul is hidden in a broken hellish stone brick (the item is at your feet), floating in the cosmos of outer space.”
A broken hellish stone brick?
Shen Ye looked down and saw a genuine broken stone brick at his feet.
What was he waiting for!
A plan formed in his mind. He picked up the stone brick, shook his body, and wrapped the stone brick in crimson light spikes.
The stone brick was gently placed on the Spring Rain Blade, which then slashed out a single strike.
The long blade cut through the void, sending the stone brick out of the current world to another random world.
Faint micro text immediately appeared:
“You activated the Emperor Species inherent skill: Destiny Thorns.”
“The designated stone brick is now your follower, and ‘Destiny Thorns’ are cast upon it.”
“Any attacks launched by any target against you and the stone brick will simultaneously attack the target’s main body, with a certain chance of causing a critical hit.”
“You activated the blade art ‘Dream Farewell’.”
“The long blade broke through the world barrier, sending the stone brick to a random other world.”
Shen Ye sheathed his blade and stood in place, sensing slightly.
—The oppressive, suffocating sensation gradually disappeared from his heart!
Success.
The misinformation led the other party to focus on that stone brick.
—Destiny Thorns could reflect attacks, and even had a chance to inflict critical damage.
Would the World-Shaking Technique be reflected back?
Shen Ye leaned against the wall, slowly sat down, and quietly awaited the result.
Suddenly.
A line of small text floated past his eyes:
“Hidden in the Dharma Realm… no wonder no one found it even after the Immortal Kingdom was destroyed…”
It was a barrage.
Who could unleash a barrage in front of him?
The Creator Chalukhtorik!
She said it was hidden in the Dharma Realm.
—Is that the existence that unleashed the World-Shaking Technique?
Shen Ye couldn’t help but feel a sense of bewilderment.
What exactly was hidden in the Dharma Realm?
He had to go see!
But it had to be done safely.
Shen Ye’s mind stirred.
Within the Dharma Form.
The Four Kings swiftly lifted the small wooden boat and ran to the edge of the Dharma Form.
After the Formless Sky Demon leaped onto the boat, they pushed the boat away from the shore, each pulling out a wooden oar and beginning to paddle.
The small wooden boat drifted, moving towards the depths of the blank Dharma Realm.
Lines of bullet comments appeared again:
“My Baron, you truly possess a timely narrative talent.”
“Due to various restrictions, whether it be sentient beings or anything else, few existences can maintain communication with me.”
Shen Ye couldn’t help but ask, “Among your many worlds, you have powerful and numerous churches, yet these churches cannot communicate with you?”
“Mostly, they only use my prestige to plunder and scavenge all the benefits in the world,” the Creator said.
“Of course, if someone is willing to build the Tower of Babel and call upon me with the correct sacrificial rituals, they might obtain a word or two from me.”
“And I can communicate with you now,” Shen Ye said.
The barrage appeared again:
“Yes, as a reward, I will accompany you this time.”
“—Let’s go together and see what that thing truly is.”
The Creator Chalukhtorik!
She had noticed the change in the narrative and was willing to accompany him!
“Thank you, Your Excellency. Nothing escapes your gaze.”
Shen Ye replied.
Another line of barrage floated past his eyes:
“Your Dharma form boat continues to row seven hundred meters forward, then you can stop.”
Shen Ye did as instructed.
The small wooden boat parted the water, moving seven hundred meters across the boundless blank sea, then stopped.
The Four Kings controlled the boat, looking in all four directions simultaneously.
East, south, west, north.
There was nothing.
The Dharma Realm was boundless and empty.
Just then, new bullet comments appeared:
“Dive, that technique came from the bottom of the Sea of Dharma.”
Below?
Shen Ye immediately informed the Four Kings.
The Four Kings jumped out of the wooden boat, preparing to dive.
Another barrage appeared:
“No, they will definitely be discovered. At this time, you need to use the primordial Formless Sky Demon.”
Shen Ye nodded knowingly.
This Creator could see the Formless Sky Demon!
“All existences and powers born in the universe cannot detect the primordial Formless Sky Demon.”
But perhaps the entire universe was created by the Creator.
Looked at this way—
The Creator was extremely unique.
—She was not an existence born in the universe!
Shen Ye issued the command.
The Four Kings swam back to the small wooden boat, using their oars to keep it afloat.
The Formless Sky Demon, however, jumped out of the boat and dove towards the bottom of the sea.
At first.
All around was boundless emptiness.
But as the Formless Sky Demon dove with all its might, the Sea of Dharma Realm began to change color.
The seawater turned from white to pale gray.
Pale gray gradually deepened, becoming dark gray.
Finally, it was an endless darkness.
Cold.
Stagnant.
Silent.
The Formless Sky Demon felt its movements slowing down and couldn’t help but stir its body, releasing pale gold flame-spirit divine light.
This was advanced spiritual energy from the “Tai Shang Wang Qing Yu Hua Fei Sheng Jing” (Supreme Emotionlessness and Ascension Scripture).
With this transformed spiritual energy protecting its body, the Formless Sky Demon’s strength immediately increased threefold, reaching Shen Ye’s level.
Diving became easy again.
The Formless Sky Demon concentrated the divine light within its body before moving.
It swam downwards for about a quarter of an hour.
By this time.
The Sea of Dharma Realm had dissolved into an endless darkness, completely看不见, indistinguishable.
If Shen Ye had come in person, he would have been equally confused.
But fortunately, with the narrative as a bridge, he could maintain communication with the Creator of the Fourth Epoch.
Lines of bullet comments scrolled across his eyes:
“A little to the left.”
“Yes, keep diving.”
“Move again towards your diagonal front, at a 45-degree angle, continue forward.”
“There’s a monster guarding this place fifty meters below the Formless Sky Demon. The Formless Sky Demon’s movements should be gentle, go around it.”
The barrage disappeared.
Everything became quiet.
Shen Ye also knew that this moment was extremely critical.
He manipulated the Formless Sky Demon, gently drifting in the water, slowly twisting its body with the current, kicking its legs in a butterfly stroke.
After a while.
In the deep darkness, a pair of glowing eyes, like gigantic searchlights, instantly pierced through the Formless Sky Demon, shining straight up towards the seawater above.
The Formless Sky Demon immediately stopped moving.
The current carried it slowly, until its body completely left the observation range of those giant eyes.
After a long while.
The Formless Sky Demon remained motionless.
The barrage also remained silent.
Even after those eyes closed again and the entire seabed returned to pitch black, the Formless Sky Demon still did not move.
It then discovered an undercurrent.
Following the undercurrent for several minutes, the Formless Sky Demon then lightly struggled, escaping from it.
New bullet comments appeared:
“Good, we evaded that guy—it’s quite a vicious and powerful existence among the spirits of the Dharma Realm.”
“Adjust your direction to your left.”
“Okay, that’s enough.”
“Continue diving.”
Shen Ye controlled the Formless Sky Demon to continue diving.
After another half hour.
The Formless Sky Demon’s hand touched something hard.
Barrage appeared:
“Here we are.”
“Is this the bottom of the Sea of Dharma Realm?” Shen Ye asked.
The barrage appeared:
“The Sea of Dharma Realm is formed by countless rules condensed in the void; there is no so-called seabed.”
Not the seabed?
What is this then?
Perhaps sensing his thoughts, a new line of barrage appeared:
“The World-Shaking Technique originated from here. You need to make the Formless Sky Demon move along this thing. Perhaps we can slowly discern what it is.”
“Okay,” Shen Ye said.
It was pitch black all around.
The Formless Sky Demon couldn’t see anything, only relying on its senses to swim along the hard “ground.”
It swam for a while, only to find that it was still the hard “ground” all around.
It was as if this truly was the seabed.
A new line of barrage suddenly appeared:
“It’s an Epoch-level seal!”
The barrage popped out frantically:
“After the destruction of the Fourth Epoch, the era you are in is the Fifth Epoch, which generally lasts for 2.8 billion years.”
“Throughout this entire Epoch, the most advanced civilization will wield a certain authority.”
“This authority is called the Epoch Seal.”
“This immensely powerful seal has only one purpose—”
“To seal terrifying existences that can destroy an entire Epoch.”
“Not good!”
“Quickly, run! Run!”
“Shen Ye, your Formless Sky Demon must not get trapped here.”
The “ground” began to shimmer with faint light.
Something seemed to be activating.
At this moment.
Shen Ye did not hastily control the Formless Sky Demon to flee.
He manipulated the Formless Sky Demon to press its hand on the “ground”, and silently chanted “Door” in his mind.
The Gate of Heaven-Reaching opened.
—Using the seal as an obstacle, the Door directly traversed the seal, connecting the inside and outside of the seal.
The Formless Sky Demon leaped down, and casually threw a dark, shapeless object upwards.
The Door disappeared in an instant.
The dark, shapeless object floated in the seawater and suddenly lit up.
It was a phone!
On the phone screen, a constantly scrolling line of large text appeared:
“Good brother, you have a sickness that needs to be treated, otherwise, the consequences could be severe.”
The mythical narrative “Venerable Sage” and the negative narrative “Good Brother” activated simultaneously!
*Smack.*
An intangible object emerged from the “ground” and instantly shattered the phone.
Inside the seal.
The Formless Sky Demon landed and stood silently in the corner.
—This was a grand hall.
The hall was dark, and there seemed to be a high platform and a throne, with a massive figure seated upon it, but it was impossible to see clearly.
Dead silence.
There was no sound.
Several lines of barrage quietly appeared before Shen Ye’s eyes:
“Don’t move.”
“A single move will reveal you.”
Shen Ye nodded slightly.
In that instant just now, he had unleashed “Venerable Sage” and “Good Brother.”
“Gossip Protagonist” had also been active.
Two mythical narratives plus one negative narrative.
If he didn’t move, he wouldn’t move.
Now he just needed to wait—
Wait for that one in a million chance.
However—
Nothing in the hall changed.
Shen Ye was not in a hurry either.
After all, “Venerable Sage” would continue to be effective.
“There will be continuous unexpected events, a direct hit to a weak point is guaranteed, and valuable items will definitely be scattered.”
If none of this happened—
It would “trigger again, cycling endlessly.”
Moreover, the Dharma Realm puppet generated by “Good Brother” would “remain unaffected” and constantly seek opportunities to “mock, insult, provoke, secretly photograph, ambush, steal, and perform various other actions” against the target.
Shen Ye merely waited quietly.
The next second.
A person covered in blood “thunked” down from the ceiling, crashing onto the ground.
“Ugh…”
The bloodied person let out a painful groan.
Under the gaze of the Formless Sky Demon, he desperately raised his hand, forming a spell seal, aiming it at the high platform deep within the hall—
The barrage suddenly popped up:
“He’s holding the World-Shaking Technique!”
The next instant.
A afterimage shattered the bloodied man’s hand seal.
Dozens of long black tentacles fell from the ceiling, all piercing into his body, completely restraining him again.
The man spat out a mouthful of blood, but laughed heartily:
“What has affected you today? You almost let me escape your control!”
Clusters of black tentacles rose to the heavens, pinning him to the ceiling of the great hall.
The Formless Sky Demon looked closely.
He saw the ceiling covered with embedded skeletons, densely packed, endless.
A line of bullet comments popped out:
“Look at the ground!”
The Formless Sky Demon looked down at the ground.
On the ground, where the bloodied man had fallen, there was a line of text outlined in fresh blood:
“White horse is not horse.”
What does this mean?
Did this bloodied man discover something, leaving him a piece of information?
Shen Ye was puzzled when he suddenly saw a line of faint micro text appear before his eyes:
“Your Emperor Species innate skill ‘Destiny Thorns’ has traversed the vast cosmos, guided by law, and slammed into the Sea of Dharma Realm, attacking your enemy.”
Destiny Thorns can make enemies suffer the same damage!
The entire hall suddenly shook.
—It was the World-Shaking Technique!
Under the effect of Destiny Thorns, it launched an attack on this seal!
Half of the dozens of tentacles on the bloodied man’s body detached and flew to the depths of the hall, forming a protective barrier.
“Good opportunity!”
Both the bloody man and Shen Ye exclaimed simultaneously.
Shen Ye manipulated the Formless Sky Demon from a distance, pressing his hand into the void, preparing to summon the door—
He saw the bloody man let out a low growl, his hands clasping together again, performing the technique.
—The World-Shaking Technique!
So that technique hadn’t been completely dispersed!
The Formless Sky Demon couldn’t help but pause.
Who did the opponent want to attack?
That being deep within the hall?
The next second.
The answer was already clear.
“Hahaha, you who never make mistakes have made two consecutive mistakes! It must be one of us!”
“I can leave with peace of mind.”
“—After all, it was all my fault!”
The bloody man burst into maniacal laughter.
His hand unleashed a formidable power, slamming it onto his own body.
The World-Shaking Technique!
The bloody man’s body instantly turned to dust, then to nothingness, completely dissipating.
The black tentacles on the ceiling frantically thrashed about, but had to retract completely to protect the being on the high platform.
At this moment—
The Formless Sky Demon was about to open the door.
“No! Don’t open the door!”
Barrage appeared.
“Why?” Shen Ye asked.
“There’s no escape—without a power like the World-Shaking Technique, it’s hard to die in front of this guy,” said the Creator Chalukhtorik.
“So what do we do?”
“Abandon the Tai Shang Wang Qing Yu Hua Fei Sheng Jing you’ve cultivated, and the Formless Sky Demon will naturally disappear.”
“I can just abandon it?” Shen Ye asked, surprised.
“I will help you. Once you forget this Daoist scripture, the power of all your cultivation techniques will naturally vanish, and the Sky Demon will disappear with it.”
“Then I’ll just start cultivating it again?”
“Exactly.”
“That’s a plan… By the way, what exactly is the being in this hall?” Shen Ye asked.
“It’s called ‘The End-Lord of All Epochs’,” Chalukhtorik explained.
Upon hearing this name, a line of faint micro text suddenly appeared before Shen Ye’s eyes:
“You have uncovered the true secret of the multi-universe epochs.”
“Countless rules of the Dharma Realm surround you, cheering for your achievements.”
“—Perhaps you can truly reach the future.”
“The Lords of Law have decided to contribute their power to you, to aid you.”
“Congratulations.”
“Your Door ability is about to advance from Level 0 to Level 1.”
