After waiting for a few breaths.

    A line of small characters appeared on the entry above the fake Xu Xingke’s head:

    “Attention!”

    “The opponent possesses the ability to obscure entries.”

    “Your door ability has suppressed him, and this entry is related to his door ability, so you can know the details of the entry.”

    “Entry: Ding-dong Cat.”

    “Blue (Excellent) Entry.”

    “Description: Whenever you gain trust through items, the item’s usage count will be reset.”

    “——Friendship is priceless!”

    Shen Ye froze.

    He remembered that the opponent’s Door of Friendship ability was:

    “Each time the door opens, three items can be refreshed to gain the opponent’s trust and friendship.”

    Three items.

    That meant three chances.

    With “Ding-Dong Cat,” the number of items was instantly reset.

    —Meaning an infinite refresh of items to exchange for friendship.

    This is too exaggerated!

    The door ability truly exceeds everyone’s expectations!

    Shen Ye was already a little wary, but then he thought about it and breathed a sigh of relief.

    The activation condition for this ability is:

    “It must be the opponent’s desired item.”

    —Usually, such things cannot be faked.

    Faking it would not trigger causality.

    Only if he truly intended to make friends would everything proceed normally.

    Shen Ye looked bewildered and said:

    “This entry is unheard of, I can’t even figure out its meaning.”

    —The opponent has the ability to obscure entry details.

    Saying this would meet the opponent’s expectations.

    The fake Xu Xingke indeed nodded.

    He naturally saw the details of the entry, and at this moment, a look of wild joy appeared on his face, but he quickly suppressed it again.

    “It’s just an entry, we don’t need to care about it.”

    The fake Xu Xingke said indifferently.

    “Yes! Master is indeed experienced, always calm in the face of things. If it were me, I would have already gone crazy with joy,” Shen Ye said respectfully.

    “Alright, tell me, what did you want just now?” the fake Xu Xingke asked.

    “I want—”

    Shen Ye paused for a moment.

    Yes.

    What do I want?

    The saber has already been requested.

    Money?

    He had all the treasure resources from the Penglai Mountain inheritance.

    Just ask for anything?

    No!

    —Right now, it’s like carrying a Ding-Dong Cat with him; he absolutely cannot waste this opportunity!

    Wait, I’ve got it!

    “Master, my cultivation speed is too slow, it’s really vexing. Do you have any quick cultivation methods?” Shen Ye asked.

    The fake Xu Xingke said solemnly, “When it comes to improving strength, one must take it step by step and not be overhasty.”

    “I know, Master, but I’m in a hurry right now—it doesn’t need to be too fast-paced, just faster than ordinary cultivation methods will do,” Shen Ye said seriously.

    —Just faster than ordinary cultivation methods.

    That makes much more sense.

    The fake Xu Xingke was about to refuse again when he suddenly remembered that he was the other party’s Master.

    As a Master, providing cultivation methods to disciples was a must!

    “I can’t do anything about you.”

    He sighed and fumbled in his pocket.

    Shen Ye saw lines of small characters appear above his head:

    “The opponent used the door ability and began to produce the item you requested.”

    “The blue entry ‘Ding-dong Cat’ has been automatically activated.”

    “The number of items the opponent can provide for your request has been reset!”

    “The current number of items that can be provided for your request is:”

    “3.”

    This power is excellent!

    Shen Ye was just thinking happily when he saw the fake Xu Xingke pull out an ancient-looking thread-bound book.

    On the cover of the book were written several large characters:

    “Quick Cultivation Guide!”

    A complex expression appeared on the fake Xu Xingke’s face, and he said:

    “Take it, but after you’ve read it, return it to me quickly, as I still need to continue writing this book!”

    Shen Ye immediately understood.

    —This was a “wish item” generated out of thin air through the Door of Friendship.

    In other words, this cultivation guide could indeed make people cultivate faster and improve their strength earlier.

    The fake Xu Xingke wanted it too!

    Or rather—

    Who wouldn’t want it?

    “Thank you, Master, I’ll return it to you as soon as I’m done reading it.”

    Shen Ye yanked hard from the other party’s hand, taking the “Quick Cultivation Guide” into his possession.

    “Alright, now tell me, Master, what happened next?”

    the fake Xu Xingke asked.

    “I flew into the city, and a giant hand suddenly appeared above the city. It only attacked once, and the entire city was destroyed,” Shen Ye said.

    “A giant hand?” The fake Xu Xingke’s expression changed slightly.

    “Yes, so the Wilderness Simulation might have reset again, Master, do you want to go in and take a look?” Shen Ye asked.

    “Of course, this is a secret that must be explored. What about you?” the fake Xu Xingke asked.

    “I’ll go with you, Master,” Shen Ye said.

    “You have more information—”

    “No problem, Master, follow me.”

    “Good, let’s start again!” the fake Xu Xingke said excitedly.

    The two looked towards the void together—

    Two lines of glowing small characters had already appeared in the void:

    “The current replayed war segment has been extended to 11 minutes and 19 seconds.”

    “Do you want to sign up?”

    “Sign up!” they both said in unison.

    The void shimmered.

    They both appeared on the deck of the large ship.

    “Are we still going to the cabin?”

    The fake Xu Xingke asked.

    “Let’s go,” Shen Ye said.

    The two hurried into the cabin, avoiding the crowd, and rushed towards the warehouse in their memory.

    Rumble—

    Outside, the roar of spells echoed.

    The giant ship swayed back and forth.

    —The monsters lurking in the sea began to attack the fleet again.

    Shen Ye’s heart stirred.

    The fake Xu Xingke had already spoken first:

    “Strange, this time they didn’t focus their attack on our ship, why is that?”

    “Every time is different, Master,” Shen Ye explained.

    The fake Xu Xingke instantly grasped the hidden meaning behind his words.

    —Shen Ye had entered more times, and earlier.

    How did he do that?

    The fake Xu Xingke stared at Shen Ye, only to see him standing in the empty room, looking left and right, and finally pushing open the door on the other side of the room and walking out.

    The fake Xu Xingke quickly followed.

    “What do we do now—damn it, what is this?”

    “It looks like a submarine.”

    “There are monsters everywhere outside, we can’t get through.”

    “We can’t just fly through, Master, let’s try it, at worst we’ll die.”

    “…There’s nothing I can do.”

    The two entered the submarine.

    A gentle voice immediately sounded:

    “Please provide the destination for this emergency escape submarine.”

    “The nearest city,” Shen Ye said.

    The gentle voice asked, “The itinerary has been planned. Do you wish to start navigation immediately?”

    “Start!”

    Buzz—

    The baffle below the room opened.

    The submarine dropped.

    The gentle voice said, “Discovering various threatening monsters, we will navigate at maximum speed. Please fasten your seatbelts.”

    Shen Ye buckled his seatbelt and turned to look at the underwater scene outside the window, his expression a little nervous.

    While he wasn’t paying attention—

    The fake Xu Xingke quietly pressed his hand against the wall of the submarine.

    “Door.”

    The fake Xu Xingke murmured in his heart and began to operate secretly.

    Shen Ye still looked out the window.

    Lines of faint small characters then appeared before his eyes:

    “Your door ability has suppressed the opponent.”

    “You have obtained all of the opponent’s operational intelligence, specifically as follows:”

    “Open the second ‘Door of Friendship’, targeting the sea monsters in the current sea area.”

    “Acquire the corresponding submarine sound-shielding device, large fish biological tissue exterior components, and sea monster biological signal simulator.”

    “All equipment has been installed.”

    He can be “friends” with two targets at the same time?

    —This guy is capable!

    Shen Ye was thinking when he suddenly heard the fake Xu Xingke say:

    “Did you notice?”

    “What?” Shen Ye asked.

    “This submarine actually has external facilities, its appearance is already different.”

    “What!”

    Shen Ye pretended to be surprised, released his divine sense, and briefly sensed it.

    He saw that the submarine had transformed into a giant whale, swimming underwater.

    The sea monsters were all busy attacking the fleet on the surface.

    No enemies paid attention to this whale.

    —This is the power of the Door of Friendship!

    “I can’t believe their technology has developed to this extent,” the fake Xu Xingke sighed in feigned surprise.

    “Indeed, it’s very astonishing,” Shen Ye echoed.

    In just over a minute.

    The whale swam rapidly, riding the waves onto the beach.

    The two jumped out.

    “Let’s go, Master.”

    Shen Ye looked at him, seeing that he was a little out of breath.

    Opening “false Xu Xingke’s” door and “false whale’s” door at the same time, this guy probably consumed a lot of energy.

    “Alright, let’s go,” the fake Xu Xingke responded.

    The two blurred, flew into the air, and quickly landed in the city.

    The city was already in chaos.

    The broadcast kept telling people to go to underground shelters for refuge.

    Police maintained order.

    Soldiers gathered in the square.

    Shen Ye checked the time.

    A total of only 2 minutes and 17 seconds had passed.

    There were still a full 9 minutes and 02 seconds to continue exploring the situation here!

    This time was quite ample.

    Shen Ye thought back and forth, gradually coming to a realization.

    —To obtain an existence like the Indomitable Giant, one needs to directly confront it and show sufficient strength.

    But to explore the intelligence of this world—

    That requires covert operations.

    For example, by using the power of the “Door of Friendship”!

    “Master, I want some things.”

    Shen Ye whispered.

    “What? You want things? What do you mean?” The fake Xu Xingke narrowed his eyes.

    —If this kid keeps being so greedy, he won’t need to follow him all the time.

    After he loses his usefulness, find an opportunity to get rid of him!

    “Master, your strength is greater than mine, and you are stronger than me in every aspect. I have a suggestion.”

    Shen Ye said seriously.

    “Speak,” the fake Xu Xingke said calmly.

    “There’s less than 9 minutes left now—with Master’s strength, you can easily blend into the crowd, enter the underground shelter, and inquire about various news.”

    “And I can blend into the army; look, those soldiers are all young, about my age.”

    “If we split up, we can explore the intelligence of this world more efficiently!”

    Shen Ye said in one breath.

    At this moment.

    The two stood in the shadow of the street corner, and with a casual glance, they could take in the surrounding scene.

    The fake Xu Xingke looked around.

    Indeed, crowds were heading to the underground shelter.

    Soldiers, however, were constantly gathering.

    Splitting up would indeed be more efficient.

    “Splitting up isn’t a problem, but you just said you wanted things—what did you mean?”

    The fake Xu Xingke asked.

    “With Master’s strength, it shouldn’t be a problem to infiltrate the army and get a set of identification equipment,” Shen Ye said.

    “You need to think carefully. If you join the army, you’ll have to confront the monster in the sky later,” the fake Xu Xingke said.

    “It’s fine, it’s just a death experience, I can handle it,” Shen Ye showed a determined look.

    The fake Xu Xingke admired him a bit now.

    —Although everything here was simulated, the taste of death was extremely real, a torment for both the soul and the mind.

    This kid was willing to risk himself to gather information—

    This is a tough guy!

    Given that, he wasn’t being greedy after all.

    Besides, he also needed information.

    Then—

    “There’s nothing I can do about you…”

    The fake Xu Xingke’s hand reached into his pocket, and he continued:

    “Stay here, don’t move. I’ll go steal a set of identification items and be right back.”

    After saying that, his figure flickered and he disappeared.

    Shen Ye stood there waiting.

    In a moment.

    He saw lines of faint small characters appear before his eyes:

    “Your door ability has suppressed the opponent.”

    “You have obtained all of the opponent’s operational intelligence, specifically as follows:”

    “According to your wish, the opponent extracted an item sufficient to meet your needs.”

    “The opponent activated the entry ‘Ding-dong Cat’.”

    “The quantity of items you can obtain has been refreshed.”

    “—The opponent can continue to extract items for you next time.”

    This Ding-dong Cat is good!

    Shen Ye praised in his heart.

    The next second.

    He saw the Ding-dong Cat—

    No, he saw the fake Xu Xingke carrying a bag, sneaking out from the wall across the street, and quickly came to Shen Ye.

    “I specially stole a set; you hurry to the army, and I’ll hurry to the underground shelter to check it out.”

    He tossed the bag to Shen Ye.

    “Alright!” Shen Ye responded.

    The fake Xu Xingke nodded, turned and blended into the crowd, heading towards the underground shelter.

    Shen Ye then opened the bag.

    Inside, he found a fitted military uniform, a firearm, and proof of military unit number.

    A two-inch blue background color photo of Shen Ye was affixed to the proof.

    And it had a steel impress.

    Too detailed.

    Shen Ye quickly changed clothes, slung the firearm, and ran on the road.

    At this point, 6 minutes and 17 seconds remained.

    Time was ample!

    He followed a few soldiers forward and arrived at the square.

    “Quick! Quick! Quick! Assemble everyone!”

    The military officer merely glanced at them hurriedly and shouted loudly for them to get into formation.

    Shen Ye stood in the line, observing his surroundings coldly.

    —This time, it was different from the last.

    Since the time had not yet arrived, the monster in the sky had not yet launched its attack.

    The officer scanned back and forth among the soldiers, singled out a few people, loudly gave them tasks, and then sent them off quickly.

    Repairing bridges and roads, repelling sea monsters, transporting ammunition, investigating abnormalities in the sewers, establishing scout outposts, and so on…

    One task after another was issued.

    Soldiers formed mission teams, received orders, and quickly left the square.

    “You, step forward!”

    The officer pointed at Shen Ye.

    Shen Ye immediately stepped out.

    “How is your personal combat skill level?” the officer asked.

    Shen Ye’s heart stirred.

    It was time to show off!

    Only with strong ability would he be assigned important tasks!

    He made a motion of drawing a saber, and immediately behind him, the heavy scene of hell emerged.

    “Close-quarters combat saber techniques with innate Dharma appearance? Not bad! Where’s your identification—”

    “Please examine it, officer!”

    The army officer took the proof, glanced at it, and sighed:

    “Many units have suffered heavy casualties, almost completely disorganized, so I must see your identification.”

    He patted Shen Ye on the shoulder, then called over a few other soldiers.

    A map was unrolled before them.

    “Your mission is to go to this building—in the West City District, and rendezvous with a team of professionals.”

    “Someone will meet you when you get there; the map is your credential.”

    “Remember, you are all elite soldiers, you must complete this mission!”

    “Yes!” everyone responded in unison.

    The officer handed the map to Shen Ye.

    The meaning was clear.

    This soldier team was led by Shen Ye.

    Shen Ye looked at the time.

    There were two minutes left.

    “Move out! Reach the destination as quickly as possible!”

    He shouted, and immediately ran towards the west of the city.

    Several soldiers, not to be outdone, followed closely behind him.

    1 minute and 19 seconds.

    The soldiers arrived at the building.

    “Which unit are you from?”

    Someone shouted.

    Shen Ye took out the map.

    The other party took it, scanned it a few times, and waved his hand:

    “Follow me!”

    Everyone rushed into the building, turning and twisting, and arrived at an underground shelter.

    Over a dozen powerful professionals had already gathered there.

    Shen Ye inexplicably looked towards the center of the crowd.

    A long-haired pregnant woman, radiating a holy light, stood among the crowd, nodding and smiling at him.

    “You’re here.”

    A female voice echoed in Shen Ye’s mind.

    What?

    —What does this mean?

    Shen Ye’s heart skipped a beat.

    In an instant.

    Several lines of faint small characters appeared before him:

    “You have discovered the ultimate secret of this simulated scenario.”

    “The next simulation duration will be extended to 5 hours and 22 minutes.”

    “To fully construct the next simulation, the Wilderness Ruins will rest for 24 hours before unfolding again.”

    “Attention.”

    “The exploration time has been used up.”

    Shen Ye had no time to say anything, let alone do anything, as everything around him turned into illusory light and shadow, flowing away like water.

    —He was out.

    “Did you find anything?”

    The fake Xu Xingke stood by, asking anxiously.

    “We seem to have discovered an incredible secret,” Shen Ye sighed, a hint of sadness in his expression.

    That woman’s presence felt truly unique.

    Who exactly was she?

    “What exactly happened? Why was the time suddenly extended to 5 hours?” the fake Xu Xingke asked.

    Shen Ye looked at him.

    He didn’t intend to hide it from him, after all, he would need his power for the next entry.

    Shen Ye directly recounted what he had seen and heard.

    The fake Xu Xingke fell into deep thought.

    “I also think it’s an incredible secret…” he muttered to himself.

    “Master, I need to prepare. How about we meet here again tomorrow?” Shen Ye asked.

    “Good,” the fake Xu Xingke said, looking weary, and nodded. “I also need to prepare.”

    He turned to leave, but then remembered something and urged:

    “Remember to return that cultivation guide to me after you’ve read it.”

    “Yes!” Shen Ye agreed.

    The fake Xu Xingke stared at Shen Ye.

    —At present, he needed the other party’s support and couldn’t fall out with him yet.

    Fortunately, the book was in Shen Ye’s hands and could be taken back at any time.

    Besides.

    In just one day, even if he had that book, how much could he cultivate?

    “See you tomorrow.”

    The fake Xu Xingke felt a little relieved, and with a flash of his figure, he disappeared.

    Only Shen Ye remained.

    “Phew… now it’s peaceful…”

    He murmured softly, took out the “Quick Cultivation Guide,” and spread it before his eyes.

    The corresponding prompt quietly appeared:

    “This is a quick cultivation method manifested by door ability, from the ‘wish fulfillment’ type of causality, fulfilling your wish.”

    Shen Ye quietly read for a while.

    The cultivation method for the ninth realm of the Dharma Realm.

    —Simple, efficient, direct, and crude.

    He wondered how such a concise and clear cultivation method could exist.

    Shen Ye increasingly felt the weight of the book in his hand.

    It seemed—

    He had only been putting on a show with that fake, but who knew, he seemed to have created something incredible.

    “Door!”

    Shen Ye whispered.

    The Door of Real Estate immediately opened.

    He placed the book on the wooden floor of the room.

    The clone indeed picked up the book and began to cultivate.

    Boom—

    His whole body’s aura suddenly vibrated.

    —Dharma Realm Ten!

    Shen Ye suddenly realized something.

    He was watching his clone cultivate in the real estate cabin, but in the cabin, a long time had passed.

    3 months is 90 days, which is 2160 hours.

    Inside, 3 months passed, but outside, only one day.

    The clone had been cultivating diligently for a long time.

    Shen Ye reached out, looking at the spiritual power swirling on his palm.

    Dharma Realm Ten?

    Although he was already at the peak of Dharma Realm Nine, breaking through in one fell swoop still felt pretty good!

    Wait a moment—

    He took out the “Large Fragment of the Soul of Truth” and directly integrated it into his real estate cabin.

    “Upgrade the real estate.”

    Shen Ye chanted silently.

    Ding-ding-dong-dong-ding—

    Countless bronze pieces flew from all directions, assembling into a bronze figure in the cabin.

    “You have obtained the Bronze Figure.”

    “When you cultivate, the Bronze Figure will demonstrate the correct cultivation posture;”

    “When you hone your skills, the Bronze Figure will spar with you.”

    “Thereby achieving the following effects:”

    “Cultivation speed increases twofold, and skills have a higher probability of upgrading to Techniques of Truth.”

    “In addition, it can cook, wash clothes, write novels, and guard the home.”

    Shen Ye looked at the bronze figure.

    He saw the bronze figure strike a cultivation pose in place, with various meridians in its body igniting with a glowing light, circulating repeatedly and endlessly.

    —It was demonstrating the methods from the “Quick Cultivation Guide” with its own body.

    Shen Ye’s clone watched for a while, then suddenly understood, closed his eyes again, and entered a state of cultivation.

    As a result, the cultivation speed increased even faster!

    Shen Ye withdrew his gaze with satisfaction.

    That’s great!

    Just keep cultivating like this.

    As for this “Quick Cultivation Guide”—

    Absolutely cannot give it to the fake Xu Xingke!

    Right now, he was also very tired, so he would let the clone continue to cultivate and he would go back to rest.

    “Door.”

    Shen Ye lightly uttered.

    The Door to Heaven opened accordingly.

    He stepped across, returning to his dorm at Xirang High School.

    “Hi.”

    A female voice came from behind.

    Shen Ye quickly said, “Jian Ji sister.”

    Jian Ji smiled sweetly.

    Shen Ye looked at her, hesitating, “No… sister feels different now…”

    “We don’t have a year anymore,” Jian Ji said.

    Shen Ye immediately fell silent, his eyes wide.

    “The Indomitable Giant has reawakened from its slumber, which will definitely attract the attention of the White Night Demon Cage,” Jian Ji added.

    “Sister knows?” Shen Ye asked.

    Jian Ji smiled and said, “The last multi-layered universe was destroyed by the White Night Demon Cage; I almost died then.”

    “I was temporarily rescued by Xu Xingke.”

    “Is my Master also from your universe?” Shen Ye asked.

    “No—but he was cursed and severely injured. He could originally maintain a cultivation of Dharma Realm Twenty-Four, but then the curse erupted, and he could only maintain Dharma Realm Eight. He pretended to be a wanted rebel from this universe and came to the Unfixed Layer to hide,” Jian Ji said.

    Shen Ye said worriedly, “Then now—”

    “Thanks to the card you found, he’s removed the curse,” Jian Ji said.

    “That’s great, where’s Master?” Shen Ye asked.

    “He went to the White Night Demon Cage—we are all going there next.”
