Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 442
byThe soldiers began to clear the battlefield.
Shen Ye was carried back for further treatment.
“What’s the situation now?”
He asked.
“Not clear. It’s said that monsters have appeared on the borders of various races, and they are simply unstoppable.” Norton said from the side.
Shen Ye nodded slightly.
—It’s strange, how did the monsters from the Primeval Ruins come to the Nightmare World?
Has the Primeval Ruins finished evolving yet?
Information.
He needed information!
Shen Ye closed his eyes slightly and silently called out in his heart.
Sure enough, a piece of information from the Primeval Ruins appeared in his mind:
“Due to obtaining the sealed item ‘End Lord of All Eras’ and possessing powerful suppressive force (Thousand-Year Three Arts, from you a thousand years later), the Primeval Ruins has acquired an ‘Abnormal Identity’:”
“Occupied territory of the Seventh Ultimate Creation, ‘White Night Demon Cage’.”
“Description: People who are teleported to this occupied territory will be possessed by the ‘abnormal’ illusion simulated by the Primeval Ruins for a short period, and will not be attacked for at least one minute.”
“The Primeval Ruins is currently selecting personnel.”
“Anyone who defeats a monster is eligible for screening by the Primeval Ruins.”
“Congratulations.”
“You have defeated the monster (remnant species of another ultimate creation: Despair Manifestor).”
“You have completed the screening.”
“You are now a chosen one.”
Shen Ye stared at these prompts, momentarily forgetting to breathe.
Amazing.
He never expected the Multilayer Universe to have such courage.
After learning that an ultimate creation war would erupt a year later, its choice was—
To use the enemy’s subordinate, the “End Lord of All Eras,” to disguise its identity, and camouflage the entire Primeval Ruins as “occupied territory.”
Then select strong individuals.
—To do certain things.
This was preparation and countermeasures a year in advance!
The Multilayer Universe’s idea was brilliant!
Just as he was thinking, another line of small text appeared:
“Teleporting soon—”
Teleporting?
As expected.
Shen Ye’s heart suddenly tightened.
Oh no!
He hadn’t recovered yet. If he was teleported to an extremely dangerous place, wouldn’t that be suicide?
Shen Ye immediately conveyed his worries to the Primeval Ruins.
Soon.
The Primeval Ruins’ reply came:
“Your feedback is very pertinent. We will definitely improve next time.”
Definitely next time?
No!
I hope it happens this time—
The light of teleportation gradually appeared around Shen Ye.
It was too late!
Shen Ye couldn’t help but shout:
“Big Skeleton!”
“I’m here.” Big Skeleton suddenly appeared.
“Come with me—I’m about to go to a dangerous place.” Shen Ye said, catching his breath.
“Alright!”
Big Skeleton accepted without hesitation, its figure flashing and merging into Shen Ye’s dharma body.
Norton saw this and couldn’t help but ask:
“Paige, what’s happening with you?”
“I’m sure you’ve also been to the Primeval Ruins. I’ve been chosen by it, and I might be going to do something dangerous.” Shen Ye said with effort, lying in the center of the therapeutic law.
“I see… I remember you have the identity of a Death Planet, so you can use spirit arts.” Norton said, waving his hand.
Under his command, the priests increased the power of their healing spells.
“Exactly, I need to bring Failun with me.”
Shen Ye said.
The power of spatial laws manifested as runes, circling around him.
He was about to be teleported!
Normally, teleportation would be quick, but this time it dragged on for several minutes.
Was it because the teleportation distance was relatively longer?
Norton nodded thoughtfully, took out a stone, and tucked it into Shen Ye’s pocket.
“What is it? A gem?” Shen Ye asked.
“Yes, so you don’t run out of money outside.” Norton said.
Shen Ye wanted to look at the gem, but couldn’t even lift his hand, so he gave up.
“Thank you.”
He thanked him sincerely.
At this moment, all the spatial runes floated up from Shen Ye’s body, forming a passage above him.
Shen Ye, still bathed in the light of the healing spell, was suddenly sucked into the passage.
—He was teleported away!
After he left.
Norton took out a small communication magic stone and said:
“Attention.”
“Now, please confirm your status.”
A series of responses echoed from the magic stone:
“Confirmed.”
“Confirmed.”
“Confirmed.”
“…”
An unknown place.
A city in the rain.
Street corner.
A circular spatial tunnel opened silently.
Shen Ye fell down.
Before he could do anything, a colossal phantom, dozens of meters tall, rose from his body.
This giant, blurred, and ferocious shadow firmly enveloped him.
At the same time.
Shen Ye’s legs gave out, and he sat down with a thud, leaning against the cold, damp wall, panting heavily.
Across from him.
A giant creature covered in human hands squatted there, silently watching him.
Its entire body was covered in long, sharp, vivid thorns.
Those human hands蠕動, twitched unconsciously.
Its face had no features, but natural runes, radiating powerful energy fluctuations, were present where eyes, mouth, and nose should be.
It was about ten meters tall, silently standing on the street, its gaze fixed on the illusion emanating from Shen Ye.
Shashasha…
The rain kept falling.
Shen Ye leaned against the wall, not moving, and barely managed to hold onto the Spring Rain Blade.
—What is this monster doing?
Then a line of small text appeared:
“The ‘possessed’ illusion will last for one minute.”
“After one minute, you will be in an unprotected state.”
“Please find a safe area in time and survive until the fifth minute to obtain information about the current environment.”
Only one minute.
Shen Ye silently conserved his strength, his eyes fixed on the monster across from him.
The monster remained still.
It simply watched the illusion rising from Shen Ye’s body, seemingly a little puzzled by it.
—No!
It can watch for as long as it wants, but I can’t wait!
Shen Ye sighed, struggling to stand up from the ground, leaning on his blade, and slowly walking aside.
The illusion on his body moved at the same time.
It looked as if a monster was crawling very slowly towards the other side of the street.
Shen Ye sped up.
About ten seconds later.
He looked back, and the monster was still in the same spot, but its head had turned.
—It’s still watching me!
What should I do?
Shen Ye’s gaze moved around.
The street was overgrown with weeds.
The earth rose abruptly, like a slanting slope, dotted with crooked houses, half of them collapsed, half still barely standing.
No one was in sight.
This was a dead city.
Shen Ye walked a few more steps, then couldn’t walk anymore.
By this time, one minute was almost up.
He gasped for breath, found a house by the roadside, pushed open the half-open door, and stumbled inside.
Quite marvelous—
He entered the house, but the possessed illusion remained at the doorway.
—The illusion blocked the house, providing cover for Shen Ye.
Taking advantage of this moment.
“Door.”
Shen Ye whispered.
The Door to Heaven silently appeared, he pushed it open, and slipped inside.
Time’s up.
The possessed illusion at the door slowly disappeared.
The monster immediately moved.
Almost instantly, it charged towards the house.
In mid-air, it transformed into a gaping maw, filled with glaring, fierce eyes—
The next instant.
A streak of light swept across the house.
The house, and everything in a straight line behind it, turned into nothingness.
Having done this, the monster paused in mid-air, its long tentacles spread out, as if sensing something.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
There was no longer any sign of life.
The monster then returned to the ground.
The rain continued to fall.
Lightning and thunder alternately flashed.
The monster stood motionless, silently in the street, as if it would stand there until the end of time.
On the other side.
Darkness.
Deep in the darkness.
A floating wooden box.
Shen Ye sat on the wooden box, panting incessantly.
This should be safe.
“You activated the Door to Heaven.”
“Current obstacle set as: distance to a safe place.”
“This distance has been crossed.”
“Through” is the ultimate power of the fourth epoch, “Heaven-Piercing Art,” and “Door” is the ultimate power of the sixth epoch.
Combining the two to find a temporarily safe place shouldn’t be an issue.
Shen Ye cautiously looked around.
Suddenly.
Tiny scattered lights appeared, illuminating the darkness.
He saw that this was a completely enclosed space, with most of it filled with water, and the wooden box floated on the surface.
No people, no light, no sound.
Seeing the situation, Shen Ye didn’t care about anything else and lay on the wooden box to rest.
A few minutes later.
The scattered lights gradually condensed into prompts:
“Survived until the fifth minute.”
“Status determined as: free.”
“Initiating data transfer.”
The information from the Primeval Ruins finally arrived!
A wave of understanding gradually rose in Shen Ye’s mind, as if someone was continuously imparting knowledge to him through an empowerment ritual.
“So that’s how it is…”
He muttered softly.
—This is the occupied territory belonging to the Seventh Ultimate Creation, “White Night Demon Cage.”
It is also the ruins of another former Twenty-First Ultimate Creation, the “Multilayer Universe.”
All living beings were slaughtered and devoured.
The power of laws and the world were completely drained.
Only useless ruins remained.
It is guarded by scattered monsters, occasionally searching to ensure no treasures or secrets were left behind.
Then.
After acquiring its disguised identity, the Primeval Ruins sent him here for what purpose—
“Current task: Primeval-level mission issued:”
“Scavenging.”
“Description: This is the carcass of another ‘Multilayer Universe.’ You need to find some unusual items from the ruins and bring them back.”
“—Though hope is slim, hope is still hope.”
“Your remaining time is 24 hours.”
“If you successfully complete the mission, you will receive a new reward from the evolved Primeval Ruins.”
“Guaranteed to be absolutely worth it.”
Shen Ye gasped.
Absolutely worth it?
What kind of reward would that be?
But…
He still needed to recover his strength now.
He sighed, then heard the Big Skeleton’s voice in his ear:
“Are you ready?”
“Ready for what?” Shen Ye asked.
“Strange, you don’t know?”
“Know what? Don’t play coy.”
A skeletal hand reached out from the void, rummaged through Shen Ye’s pocket, and pulled out a gem.
This was the gem Norton gave him!
“Quickly complete the contract. He is the last descendant of the human race’s gods, with a status similar to mine, and his healing abilities are exceptional.”
The Big Skeleton said.
Shen Ye looked at the gem, and a line of small text had already appeared on it:
“Divine Descendant Contract Stone.”
“Holy Item.”
“Description: Using this gem will allow you to sign a contract with Norton (Spirit Art), a divine descendant of the human race. You will then be able to summon him and use his power.”
Shen Ye was stunned.
“Wait, is Norton also a spirit art?” he quickly asked.
“All of us beings in the Nightmare World originate from the dream world created by the Hun Tian Art; we are naturally ‘Art’ type beings.”
Big Skeleton patiently explained.
Shen Ye’s mouth hung open, unable to find a rebuttal for a moment.
That’s right!
The Nightmare World itself originated from an art!
The Hun Tian Art!
He took the gem from Big Skeleton’s hand, and a thought sparked in his mind.
A large door immediately appeared.
This was Shen Ye’s own door ability!
Above the door, various golden runes were etched, forming two pointers. One pointed to the golden characters that had just appeared:
“Descendant of the Heavenly God Bloodline, Knight of the Holy Palace, Fire-bearer, favored by the Goddess of Healing, Norton.”
The other pointer pointed to a line of white characters:
“??? Shen Ye.”
The pointers and both names glowed for a few seconds before slowly fading.
This was just like when he first signed a contract with Big Skeleton!
The contract was made!
A line of small text popped up:
“Summon your second spirit art?”
“Summon.” Shen Ye said.
The void stirred.
Norton, clad in full steel plate armor, leaped from the void, landing with a “thud” on the large wooden box.
He drew his sword with high spirits and declared loudly:
“Paige! I am the embodiment of handsomeness and justice, wielding—what the hell?!”
The entire wooden box couldn’t bear the weight of him and his full armor, and slowly began to sink into the water.
As for Shen Ye, who was lying on the wooden box—
He was already submerged, with bubbles gurgling from his mouth.
“Are you trying to murder him?”
Big Skeleton cried out.
“How was I supposed to know the environment was so harsh!” Norton also shouted.
“Save him quickly!”
“I can’t swim.”
“Damn it, your Human King can’t even swim?”
“Is this the time to be discussing that? Paige looks like he’s drowning!”
“Damn it!”
Before he finished speaking.
Norton and Big Skeleton both leaped up, pressing themselves against the steel wall nearby.
As soon as they left, the large wooden box finally floated back to the surface.
Shen Ye resurfaced.
He spat out a few mouthfuls of water, gasped for a long while, then said feebly:
“If it’s really not working, you two should just go back.”
“I can fight.” Big Skeleton jumped down from the wall and stood on the wooden box again.
The wooden box sank a little.
“That was a mistake, Paige, trust me.” Norton said.
He also jumped back onto the wooden box.
The wooden box sank again—
Before Shen Ye could say anything else, Norton began to chant a spell rapidly.
A series of magical fluctuations spread through the darkness.
Immediately after, an old voice resounded:
“Ice凝霜結!”
Just before the wooden box completely sank, it suddenly stopped.
—The entire water surface was frozen solid.
Torches illuminated the surroundings.
Shadows of people crowded around.
Shen Ye looked at everything around him, his eyes gradually widening.

And Norton had already started issuing commands rapidly:
“Priests, continue healing Paige!”
“Royal Knights, be on high alert!”
“Court Mages, scout the surroundings and devise countermeasures for the current situation.”
“Servants, prepare a roasted lamb, bread, wine, and whatever else; Paige and I haven’t eaten all day.”
The crowd immediately became busy.
Shen Ye was also lifted onto a small healing altar stone.
The priests began his unfinished treatment.
Norton walked around, arranging everything perfectly, then clasped his hands behind his back and came before Shen Ye:
“How is it? Brother Paige, as king of the spirits, I’m doing quite well, aren’t I?”
Shen Ye was speechless and could only give him a thumbs up.
—To be able to eat a roasted lamb in such a dangerous place, only he could do it.
