Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 443
byThe duration was 24 hours.
First hour.
The priests hastened to treat Shen Ye.
Big Skeleton and Norton chatted casually on the side.
Second hour.
The priests continued their treatment.
Big Skeleton and Norton drank and ate roasted whole lamb on the side.
Third hour.
Shen Ye’s body fully recovered!
He joined the roasted whole lamb feasting!
“To celebrate your recovery, cheers!”
“Cheers!”
Everyone raised their glasses.
“How about some music?” Big Skeleton suggested.
*Thump.*
A clang echoed from the steel shell above.
“Retreat.”
Shen Ye uttered a single word.
Instantly.
Everyone put away their utensils and tools, while Norton gathered everyone.
He and Big Skeleton hid inside Shen Ye’s Dharma Idol.
Ice turned into water.
On the surface of the water, only Shen Ye remained.
However.
He had now recovered his fighting power, holding the Chunyu Blade, and struck a pose.
Why not strike first!
Ready—
As the Infinite Blade Art activated, the Dharma Idol attached to the blade art was about to manifest.
Suddenly.
A female voice came from outside the steel wall:
“Is that Shen Ye?”
Shen Ye froze.
It was Xiao Mengyu’s voice.
How did she get here too!
No.
Her term was incredibly strong, capable of forcing monsters to her level.
It wasn’t surprising that she could defeat monsters!
And then to be chosen by the Primordial World and teleported here—
It was only natural!
Before Shen Ye could speak, Xiao Mengyu’s voice rang out again:
“I knew you were here. How is it? Any clues?”
“I have some important findings, what about you?” Shen Ye asked.
“It’s very strange here,” Xiao Mengyu’s voice carried a hint of fear, “There are human civilization buildings everywhere, but the houses are empty, not a single person.”
“It’s alright, I’ll protect you.” Shen Ye said.
“By the way, what are your clues?” Xiao Mengyu asked.
Shen Ye didn’t answer, his figure flashed, leaping onto the water and speeding forward.
In just three or four seconds.
Xiao Mengyu’s voice followed closely:
“What’s wrong? Are you fighting? Why are you suddenly rushing forward?”
Her voice, coming from beyond the steel wall, carried a hint of surprise and concern.
“First, Xiao Mengyu wouldn’t say so much nonsense in such an environment; she’s a swordsman.”
Shen Ye spoke as he ran:
“Second, she would never be content to be protected by me; we are comrades who look out for each other, and she would correct my words.”
“Third, regarding the clues, if I didn’t mention it, she would never ask.”
He suddenly stopped and spoke the last sentence:
“If you are her, why don’t you cut through the steel and come meet me directly?”
There was no response from outside.
Shen Ye’s steps also gradually slowed.
He was waiting.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
There was no movement outside.
Instead, lines of faint glowing text appeared:
“Your explanation process lasted nine seconds, plus the three seconds you ran forward in advance.”
“A total of twelve seconds.”
“Your activated term ‘Sun Wheel Lord’ has been fully deployed.”
“The opponent was designated as ‘Kuafu’ and chased you for eleven seconds.”
“The opponent’s power reached Truth Level One, trying to resist, but was suppressed by your term!”
“The opponent’s health is zero.”
“‘Kuafu’ is dead.”
Shen Ye raised his long blade.
Sharp shadows erupted from the blade, instantly cutting through the steel outer wall.
A five-meter-long body immediately fell, hitting the water surface with a “thud.”
—This was a humanoid monster.
It looked like an extremely old human female, but its hands and feet had sharp claw blades, and its head was as large as a football goal.
On its face, several faces were arranged.
One was Xiao Mengyu.
Another was Xu Xingke.
Then there were the faces of Shen Ye’s parents.
There was even a face that was half-formed, vaguely visible as Nangong Sirui.
Shen Ye couldn’t help but shiver.
This monster was truly terrifying!
—It could transform into someone he knew to interact with him!
Besides that, what other skills did it have?
What was its Dharma Idol?
What kind of terms did it have?
What about its ultimate moves?
He knew nothing.
Fortunately, he had said “I have some important findings” right away.
This successfully aroused its interest.
It wanted to know about his “important findings,” so it didn’t attack immediately, and then asked again shortly after.
It even chased after him.
If it still hadn’t gotten any useful information, it would definitely have attacked!
Fortunately, he had “Sun Wheel Lord”!
The monster’s corpse floated on the water for a while, then sank silently.
At this point, Shen Ye felt a bit of regret.
He should have added a “Dangerous Real Person” term; perhaps he could have obtained some treasures or fragments of Truth Souls.
“I have an idea.”
Big Skeleton’s voice suddenly rang out.
It emerged from the void, transforming into a frosty crow, and flapped its wings over the water.
The water immediately froze.
The monster’s corpse also froze with it.
“What do you want to do?”
Shen Ye asked.
Big Skeleton transformed back to its original form, landing on the monster’s corpse, its eyes glowing with eerie soul fire.
“We know nothing about the monsters here… I’ve decided to eat it and study its power.”
It said in a low voice.
“What if the monster’s corpse is poisonous?” Shen Ye asked, unconvinced.
“It’s fine, I can resurrect myself—’Resurrection’ is the gourmet’s strongest innate ability.” Big Skeleton said.
As it spoke, it pulled a long, sharp thorn from the monster and began chewing on it.
The next second.
Shen Ye and Big Skeleton simultaneously looked up.
In the void.
A strange vibration continuously propagated through the void.
A line of small text quickly appeared above Big Skeleton’s head:
“Undead Gourmet.”
It’s a term!
“This term is new to me—Brother, in terms of eating, you’ve gained the acknowledgment of the Dharma Realm!” Shen Ye congratulated with a smile.
Big Skeleton stared at the term, seemingly surprised, and somewhat disbelieving.
“My mother has so many powerful terms… but her son’s term is so unimpressive, alas, truly a headache.”
It spoke in a tone that was half-annoyed, half-boastful.
“Come on, terms are hard to get, you should cherish it.” Shen Ye said.
“Let me see… Hmm, this ‘Undead Gourmet’ can enhance my strength.”
“To be precise, the better I eat, the faster my strength will increase.”
“Also, I can eat plants now.”
“Eat plants? Couldn’t you before?” Shen Ye asked, puzzled.
“Undead don’t eat plants—the soul power of plants is hard to absorb.”
“If it’s hard to absorb, then what does it mean that you can eat plants now?”
“It means that if I eat plants, I can become plants.”
“That’s interesting.” Shen Ye smiled.
Big Skeleton suddenly paused.
“Wait, Shen Ye, I’ve discovered something.”
“What?”
“This monster used to be human.”
“Human!”
Shen Ye looked at the gruesome and massive monster’s body, unable to connect it with a human.
But he was also an Emperor Species.
Clark could fly.
Little Spider could shoot webs.
The green one could turn into a giant.
Thinking about it this way, it didn’t seem so strange.
Wait.
Among the twenty-one ultimate creations, only the multi-layered universe was suitable for human existence.
Could it be that—
In the other twenty ultimate creations, it was all “I’m not human anymore!” kind of style?
It seemed like his future self, a thousand years later, had also mutated quite severely.
…Only he survived, and he was mutated.
This was truly uninteresting.
Along with his emotions and thoughts, lines of faint glowing text quietly appeared:
“Defeat other ultimate creations, use their power to strengthen the multi-layered universe, allowing the multi-layered universe to develop more splendid eras.”
“—This will continuously stimulate human potential, making humans a dominant existence among all ultimate creations.”
“If the seventh ultimate creation, ‘White Night Demon Cage,’ can be defeated—”
“Humans will not choose to mutate, nor will they be reduced to a state of lingering on.”
“Monsters, on the contrary, will try every means to evolve and mutate into humans!”
“—Mutation, or making enemies mutate, this is the ultimate question.”
Looking at these small words, Shen Ye’s brows relaxed.
He was the only one who survived a thousand years later.
Such a future was not acceptable.
Then he had to win!
To let the multi-layered universe keep winning!
He snapped his fingers at Big Skeleton:
“Collect the corpse, let’s go.”
Big Skeleton put away the monster’s corpse and asked, “Where are we going?”
“To explore here.”
Shen Ye said.
Big Skeleton flashed into Shen Ye’s Dharma Idol and hid.
Shen Ye calmed down and began to fully consider the current situation.
Since the monster was human, the previous conversation could be interpreted with human thought.
The previous conversation—
The monster asked him if he had any clues…
Clues.
If it had already searched here thoroughly, it would naturally know the situation.
Wait.
What kind of place was this exactly?
This place where he was staying—
Shen Ye silently transformed into his Sky Demon form, becoming invisible, then gently flew up, exiting through the cracked wall.
The surrounding scenery came into view.
—This was a port.
His location was a stranded giant cargo ship.
A large part of the ship was submerged, but the water level wasn’t deep, and another ship was conveniently nearby, supporting some of its weight.
The port was extremely secluded.
He could only vaguely see the distant city at the edge of his vision.
—Perhaps the monsters hadn’t explored this area much?
After all, the ruins were too vast.
That’s why it asked him if he had any clues.
Shen Ye’s mind stirred, his figure dropped down, returning to the waterlogged cargo hold.
Right now.
This ship was indeed worth exploring.
He dived into the water, swimming towards the dark depths.
At the other end of the cargo hold, he quickly spotted an open wooden door.
Passing through the wooden door, he swam for a while—
*Whoosh!*
Shen Ye stuck his head out of the water.
This seemed to be the crew’s quarters, with some daily necessities scattered messily on the floor.
Further ahead, the walls and doors were made of metal.
Shen Ye tried to touch it, but was blocked by an invisible repulsive force on the metal surface.
—He couldn’t even touch it.
The door was tightly shut.
Shen Ye drew his blade and attacked.
The repulsive force on the door instantly emerged, blocking the long blade.
Shen Ye fell into contemplation.
If he used too powerful a move to attack, he might accidentally destroy what was behind the door as well.
Wouldn’t that be more trouble than it’s worth?
To be safe—
“Door.”
As Shen Ye whispered, the Heavenly Passage Gate reappeared.
He stepped through it, passing through the door to the other side of the wall.
This was a room completely enveloped in silver metal.
It occupied an entire floor and was quite spacious.
Like a plaza.
As soon as Shen Ye entered, human voices echoed in the plaza.
It was a different language, completely incomprehensible.
Big Skeleton immediately spoke:
“Extremely ancient human common tongue—I’ll translate for you.”
“This voyage has been urgently terminated.”
“Entrants must prove they possess the ultimate power of the Human Era, otherwise the detonation device will be activated.”
“Begin!”
Several figures silently appeared in the room.
They were merely manifestations of light and shadow, yet the power fluctuations emanating from them—
“Above Dharma Realm Level Nine, be careful.”
Norton also emerged, waving a hand.
*Boom boom boom boom boom—*
The sound of summoning tore through the void, and human battle groups appeared.
“Mage team, volley fire!”
Norton ordered.
Thirty archmages chanted spells in unison, unleashing single-target attack spells.
The figures opposite were knocked askew.
But after a round of magical attacks, they were perfectly unharmed, and even began to draw their weapons and charge towards them.
“Defensive formation,” Norton shouted.
He put away the mage team, replacing them with an entire regiment of melee soldiers.
The soldiers raised their heavy shields, quietly waiting for the enemy to close in.
“It’s not worth incurring casualties here—they should just be trying to verify something.”
Shen Ye said.
He stepped forward, stood at the front of the formation, and slowly drew his Chunyu Blade.
*Buzz—*
The long blade vibrated continuously.
Blade Art: Infinite!
Behind Shen Ye, a dim yellow crescent moon appeared, emitting a chilling ghostly aura.
—Blade Art’s exclusive Dharma Idol!
However, this was not enough.
Shen Ye took a breath, and his entire body surged with power.
The Chunyu Blade immediately responded.
An invisible ripple appeared on the blade.
Black void cracks appeared and disappeared on the long blade, looking incredibly terrifying.
—Sky Shattering Art!
Although still in its infancy, it was indeed the ultimate power of the era!
In fact, after the time flow ratio within the Immovable Property Gate became three months to one day, Shen Ye immediately arranged for a substitute to practice the Sky Shattering Art in the room.
After all, the practice of the Heavenly Passage Art was temporarily stuck.
To continue on the path to the heavens, the prerequisite mission had to be completed—
Explore the secrets of the Primordial Ruins.
—So he dedicated his time to the Sky Shattering Art.
Now.
Not much time had passed outside, but his substitute had practiced for more than ten days in the room.
Not only did he have an advantage in time flow.
When his future self from a thousand years later possessed him, it also brought a complete understanding of the three arts.
So, the practice was twice as effective with half the effort!
*Buzz—*
The Chunyu Blade vibrated incessantly.
The power of the Sky Shattering Art emanated, and the several figures opposite sensed it.
They stopped their advance.
Unfamiliar words once again echoed within the room.
Big Skeleton translated:
“You possess the epochal power of the multi-layered universe.”
“Only souls that have not betrayed this creation can possess its power.”
“—Welcome, you are one of us.”
“The last batch of weapons is ready, and can be deployed to the battlefield at any time.”
“We are not sure if we will make it in time.”
“You take them—”
“If possible, use them to severely punish those monsters.”
Big Skeleton finished translating.
In the room.
A crack opened in the void.
A crystal-clear gem flew out and landed in Shen Ye’s hand.
The figures disappeared.
Silence returned to the room.
Shen Ye gazed at the gem, watching the flowing light on its surface, a heavy feeling in his heart.
It was already too late—
Even though this gem remained, it could no longer change the outcome of that war.
—Their civilization and universe had already been devoured by the seventh ultimate creation, the “White Night Demon Cage.”
Just then, a sudden change occurred.
A circular spatial channel rapidly unfolded before Shen Ye.
“Information” from the Primordial Ruins continuously surged into his mind:
“This is a major harvest.”
“Hurry, leave this dangerous place, come back quickly!”
What was there to hesitate about?
Shen Ye put the gem into his spatial ring, and with a leap, entered the circular spatial channel.
A dizzying sensation.
Time seemed to stretch endlessly, yet it also felt like only an instant had passed.
His feet landed on solid ground.
This was the Nightmare World!
He was back!
The will of the Primordial World urgently requested the gem.
Shen Ye took it out.
In an instant.
The gem disappeared.
What followed was the complete mission information:
“You have completed the current Primordial-level mission: Scavenging.”
“You have found something of considerable value that will help the multi-layered universe understand the development of another multi-layered universe and its civilization level before it was devoured.”
“You have received a new reward after the evolution of the Primordial Ruins:”
“Truth Ornament.”
“Description: A prefix or suffix with the power of truth, which you can embed into a term to enhance its suppressive power.”
“The specific characters of this truth ornament will be randomly generated upon use.”
“You are the first in the multi-layered universe to obtain a truth ornament, therefore, for this use of the truth ornament, the multi-layered universe will provide additional powerful strength to your term.”
“Please use with caution.”
It was a suffix!
Terms could also be fitted with a prefix or suffix?
This was a bit beyond Shen Ye’s expectations.
So.
He now had five terms: “Vampire Lord,” “Sun Wheel Lord,” “Dangerous Real Person,” “Meeting Under the Moonlight by the Jade Terrace,” and “Songstress.”
Which term should receive the Truth Prefix?
“Cute” Vampire Lord?
Dangerous Real Person “of Love”?
It felt… a bit strange…
As Shen Ye was pondering, his phone suddenly rang.
It was the alarm.
It was now 11:57 PM.
Usually, he would wait for midnight and then enter the gate on a new day.
But now, the “Immovable Property Gate” could no longer be entered.
Shen Ye raised his hand to dismiss the alarm.
But he paused again.
Wait—
On a new day, the gate ability would settle accounts for the past day, generating new terms.
Did this settlement still exist after the gate ability advanced to Level 1?
There were only three minutes left.
Why not wait and see!
He stood there for a while, watching Norton dismiss the army and let everyone rest.
Three minutes passed quickly.
Indeed.
Lines of faint glowing text quietly appeared:
“In the past day, you developed your immovable property.”
“You added wooden flooring to the immovable property.”
“With this diligent effort, you improved the living environment of the immovable property and will receive a term.”
“Congratulations.”
“You have obtained the term:”
“Arrogance.”
“Defensive term, white rank (common).”
“Description: The possessor of this term is immune to all sneak attacks and theft; enemies can only engage in direct combat.”
“—Desire is the psychological defense mechanism of all sentient beings.”
“—One of the seven basic defensive terms.”
“You can keep this evaluative term and upgrade it in the future; or you can devour this evaluative term to gain basic attribute points.”
Defensive term!
Acceptable!
Shen Ye’s gaze shifted, refocusing on the reward from the Primordial Ruins.
Now he needed to add the power of truth to a term.
Which term would be best?
He fell into deep thought.
