Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 436
byShen Ye stroked the door.
The door was made of stone and was extremely heavy.
—He wondered what kind of ability it possessed.
After all, this was a Level 1 door!
Unprecedented!
He looked out of the window, past the abandoned exchange.
The “Despair Incarnate” was moving further away, howling all the while.
On the entire map, besides himself, there were no other team battle members.
This was a good opportunity to investigate the power of this door.
He pressed his hand against the door and pushed hard—
Hmm?
A blurry light and shadow appeared within the door.
It looked like a world.
However, the overall tone of the light and shadow was too dim, making it impossible to see what was on the other side.
At the same time.
Lines of glowing small characters appeared:
“You have activated the Level 1 Door of Truth.”
“In fact, upon reaching Level 1, you must pass through the Door of Truth to manifest your ‘door’ power.”
“Please select an initial scene.”
“Scene one, Truth Mine; (No cost required);”
“Scene deepening and development (requires fragments of the Soul of Truth).”
“—Defeat the denizens of the other twenty Ultimate Creations to obtain varying amounts of Soul of Truth fragments.”
Shen Ye was speechless for a moment.
This Tier 1 door ability couldn’t be used on the battlefield.
And he didn’t have any Soul of Truth fragments.
It seemed he could only start from the mine.
“Choose the mine.”
Shen Ye said.
The scene within the door immediately became clear.
—A gloomy, dark mine tunnel stretched from the entrance to the end of his vision.
What would happen?
Shen Ye casually stepped through the door and walked forward along the mine tunnel.
He saw a pickaxe leaning against the wall of the mine tunnel.
A mining pickaxe.
So this door was for mining?
His Tier 0 World Link Door could go to other worlds, and his Tier 0 Seal Door could open seals.
—But a Level 1 door could only mine?
What a rip-off!
Shen Ye sighed, picked up the pickaxe, and started mining.
Mine away.
Maybe there would be some unexpected reward.
Crack.
With one swing of the pickaxe, it seemed to hit something.
Shen Ye was slightly surprised.
He pulled hard.
Whoosh—
Five living people rolled out from the pile of ore.
They were covered in injuries, looking like they were at death’s door, with only a breath left.
Shen Ye hesitated.
Who were these people?
Why were they in the pile of ore?
The person in the middle, wearing a crown, coughed up a mouthful of blood and gasped:
“Weak mortal, you can only save one guide… This is the destiny brought by the door’s ability, and it is also your destiny…”
Shen Ye raised an eyebrow.
Your sister!
He hated this kind of fatalism the most!
He stacked the five people together, pressed his hand on them, and fiercely activated the Primordial Trait “Vampire Lord”.
A line of faint small characters appeared:
“With the power of the Trait, the five guides have merged! They have undergone super evolution!”
Bang!
The five people disappeared simultaneously.
A completely new person lay on the ground, staring at Shen Ye with wide eyes.
“…” The person.
“…” Shen Ye.
“This… isn’t according to the rules…” The person said.
Shen Ye looked at him.
After merging, the life force of the five people also merged.
Now, although he still looked injured, it wasn’t fatal, and he could survive.
“You know I’m a door ability user, so, who are you?”
Shen Ye asked.
The person sighed, got up from the ground, and said:
“Do you think this is a mine? No, this is called the Treasure of Truth.”
“It is the manifestation of power above the Dharma Realm—only by opening the Sixth Stage Ultimate Creation Era can one access this place.”</p
“As for me, I am the five guides manifested from the Treasure of Truth, er, we are together now.”
“Although it sounds strange, in fact—”
“We are the spirits manifested by the Treasure of Truth.”
“Whichever spirit you choose to save, that spirit will lead you on a corresponding Stairway of Truth.”
“You dug out five guides, so you had five choices.”
“And now? I accidentally merged you all.” Shen Ye spread his hands.
“In fact, another criterion for saving people is speed. The faster you revive us, the deeper the Stairway of Truth you will gain.”
“What is the Stairway of Truth?” Shen Ye asked.
“The simplest understanding is ‘suppression’.”
“Suppression?”
“Yes, no matter how much reason the opponent has, you can suppress them. That is truth.” The person pointed at Shen Ye.
Shen Ye found he couldn’t move.
“This is a very simple suppression.” The person withdrew their finger.
Shen Ye could move again immediately.
He moved his body and murmured in a low voice:
“Interesting…”
What would it be like if the enemy couldn’t move during battle?
The person, with hands clasped behind their back, said in a seemingly practiced tone:
“Since you can reach here, I presume the Ultimate Creation you belong to has already advanced to the Sixth Era.”
Shen Ye didn’t speak, just shrugged.
—In fact, it hadn’t.
But if the other party wasn’t lying—
Such rituals and guides should only appear in the Sixth Era?
The person continued:
“The five guides were the Trickster, the Huntress, the Cultist of Ruin, the King, and the Hermit. After merging— I just felt it, and I am now filled with random transformational power.”
“And then?” Shen Ye asked.
“Now I can’t determine which path I should lead, so I will rely on your ‘Name’ to decide.”
The guide took out a multi-sided dice and handed it to him.
Shen Ye looked at it.
Each face of the dice bore a trait: Vampire Lord, Songstress, Joker, Dangerous Realist, Good Brother, Gossip Subject, Tool of Destiny, Lord of Penglai, and so on.
“Roll the dice, and I shall guide you to the corresponding Stairway of Truth based on the face that lands upwards.”
The guide said.
“Wouldn’t that be entirely up to luck?” Shen Ye asked.
“Be content. Luck is a part of destiny—your starting point is already different from others.” The guide said solemnly.
Shen Ye weighed the dice, and just as he was about to throw it, he suddenly said cautiously:
“This isn’t gambling, is it? I detest gambling.”
“No,” the guide said with some helplessness, “this is an extremely important choice of path.”
Only then did Shen Ye throw the dice.
The dice bounced a few times on the ground and finally stopped.
The trait facing upwards was—
Lord of Penglai.
—A unique trait of the Heaven-Reaching Art, one of a kind!
The guide nodded, praising:
“A unique trait in the world? That’s right, it represents the dangerous destiny you must face, and also your unfinished battle.”
“—Follow me.”
Shen Ye then followed the guide, heading deeper into the mining area.
The two traversed crisscrossing underground tunnels, along dark and unlit paths, moving from one mine shaft to another, from one underground bridge to another, opening hidden mechanisms on the walls, passing through concealed secret passages.
“This is it.”
The guide said.
Shen Ye looked ahead.
At this moment.
The two stood in a spacious underground atrium.
Around them were hard, black minerals, and in the center sat a small house built of red brick and stone.
A very small house.
“This is your truth.” The guide said.
“Why is it a house?” Shen Ye asked, spreading his hands.
“This relates to your inner self. Your subconscious seems to place great importance on houses; it’s a hurdle you cannot bypass.” The guide said.
Shen Ye looked at the house again.
He saw several lines of small text floating above the house:
“Immovable Property.”
“Characteristic: Immovable.”
“Description: It absolutely will not move randomly.”
“…I truly deserve to die.” Shen Ye pressed a hand to his forehead.
“Why say such things about yourself? Now, go and examine your initial ‘truth’; it is the first step on the ‘Stairway of Truth’.”
Shen Ye stepped forward, arriving at the doorway of the brick house, and while observing the house, he casually remarked:
“A friend of mine also had a house as their starting door ability—the kind you can rest in. Perhaps I’m the same as him?”
“Starting door ability?”
The guide said disdainfully, “You should know that Level 0 and Level 1 door abilities are worlds apart, not the same thing at all.”
“There’s only a level difference.” Shen Ye said.
“Far from it! Only when the Era reaches the sixth stage, and one of the twenty-one Ultimate Creations supports you, can you reach Level 1 and truly grasp truth!” The guide said.
“…Alright.” Shen Ye said.
He reached out and pushed open the door of the house.
As the door opened.
Shen Ye was about to step in when he saw another “Shen Ye” already inside the house.
Shen Ye was stunned. He tried to enter, but found himself isolated outside the door.
“Compared to entering it personally, you need to perceive it.”
The guide said.
Shen Ye stood there, watching his expressionless self in the room.
—A very familiar feeling.
Just like the Formless Heavenly Demon Saint King, he seemed to be able to control him!
Shen Ye raised his hand.
The “Shen Ye” in the room raised his hand at the same time.
Isn’t this just a heavenly demon!
What’s the difference?
The entire room was empty.
Lines of faint small characters appeared in the room:
“This is your home,”
“You love it dearly;”
“Fish can be raised in front,”
“Flowers can be planted behind.”
“—Now the house is empty, only because you are still poor.”
Shen Ye bypassed the last line of text, his gaze sweeping, only to see another door on the wall on the other side of the house.
Go check it out!
With a thought, the “Shen Ye” in the room walked over and opened the door on the opposite side.
A pickaxe stood by the doorway.
Outside the door was an unfathomable darkness.
“Shen Ye” picked up the pickaxe and walked into the darkness, quickly disappearing.
At the same time.
Lines of faint small characters appeared before Shen Ye’s eyes:
“You picked up the pickaxe and entered the Truth Mining Area.”
“You are mining;”
“Mining;”
“Mining;”
“You dug up a monster that looks like a woman!”
“She is incredibly strong and has fallen in love with you!”
“You committed suicide!”
He waited a moment.
“Shen Ye” reappeared in the empty room.
Shen Ye was dumbfounded.
“What exactly is on the other side of that door? Why would ‘I’ commit suicide in anger?”
He asked.
“That’s the Mine of Truth—anything can be dug out. If you just dig randomly, something will definitely go wrong.” The guide said.
“Then why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Shen Ye asked.
“To make a lasting impression on you.”
“…It’s certainly profound enough.”
“Alright, I’ll tell you now—once you die, you can’t go out today, but you can practice in the room.”
“Boring.” Shen Ye said.
Although he said that, he still had a thought.
In the room.
“Shen Ye” immediately started practicing.
Lines of small characters appeared before Shen Ye’s eyes:
“During a hidden period of time, no one paid attention to you, and no one discovered your silent efforts.”
“You practiced with all your might, staying up all night, day and night.”
“Note.”
“Your ‘Immovable Property’ door has a difference in time flow rate.”
“The time comparison between the inside and outside of the Immovable Property door is:”
“One day outside, one month inside.”
“Please come and open the door at this time tomorrow to retrieve your cultivation results.”
Shen Ye read it back and forth several times, feeling as if he were dreaming.
—It could be like this!
This meant that he could do other things outside, while his clone cultivated inside the door for him.
He played for one day, and his clone cultivated for one month.
A day later.
He could reap the cultivation results of his clone!
This was quite interesting.
“Basically, this is your new Level 1 door ability. It connects to your immovable property, and your immovable property connects to the Truth Mine.”
The guide said.
“Thank you for your guidance, I have one last question.” Shen Ye said.
“Speak.” The guide said.
“My immovable property has nothing in it, and it can only go to the mining area. How do I change all this?” Shen Ye asked.
“Defeating the citizens of the other twenty ultimate creations will yield varying amounts of fragments of the Soul of Truth, which are key to upgrading your door ability.”
As the guide spoke, he raised his hand and made a downward cutting motion.
“So that’s how it is, I understand.” Shen Ye said.
“Work hard. Among the twenty-one ultimate creations, rarely do ‘humans’ appear and come into contact with truth.” The guide said.
It took a step back, and its body suddenly dispersed, transforming back into five people, each dressed differently.
They were the Trickster, the Huntress, the Cultist of Ruin, the King, and the Hermit.
“What guides you is not the path of change.” The Trickster said.
“Nor is it hunting.” The Huntress winked at Shen Ye.
“And it’s certainly not the endless source of death and destruction.” The Cultist of Ruin bowed.
“It has nothing to do with civilization or power.” The crowned King said.
“Nor is it self-negation and concealment.” The Hermit said with a smile.
The five spoke in unison:
“Remember, you have found that deeply hidden guide. It is appearing in the truth for the first time, and it is called—”
“The Oracle of Destiny!”
As the words fell.
The five turned into black ore and disappeared into the mining area.
The entire mining area instantly disintegrated.
Each grain of ore contained power beyond Shen Ye’s comprehension, akin to that “Lord of the End of All Eras.”
No—
It should be even stronger!
Countless grains of ore, like swirling snowflakes, scattered explosively in the fierce wind.
The void flickered.
Shen Ye found himself back in the Primordial Ruins.
He was standing in the darkness of the abandoned exchange.
All around was silent.
—So he had already touched upon truth, and under the guidance of the Oracle of Destiny, established his Level 1 door ability?
Shen Ye took a deep breath and pressed his hand against the void.
“Door.”
With his soft call, the door subtly appeared.
Faint light emerged as small characters:
“You can open your Immovable Property door at any time.”
…Alright then.
Although the name was a bit unpleasant, it was opened under the personal guidance of the hidden “Oracle of Destiny.”
Wωω ⊕тTk ān ⊕c o
Through it, one could directly reach the Truth Mine.
And also practice cultivation!
Speaking of which—
No.
He needed to get more fragments of the Soul of Truth!
He couldn’t be poor!
Shen Ye involuntarily looked out the window.
That massive “Despair Incarnate” was slowly walking back towards the field ridge.
Should he go for a big score?
Of course, with his current strength, he couldn’t.
But—
He was a VIP member!
Shen Ye carefully took out the revolver.
“Announcer.”
“Repel the enemy, making it unable to attack for one second.”
“Six special bullets can be obtained daily.”
“—The glory of a meritorious warrior.”
Six bullets.
That meant six seconds.
Six seconds—
That should be enough!
“Failun.”
“What is it?”
Shen Ye tossed him the revolver, excitedly saying:
“Come on, let’s go for a big one.”
