Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 450
by“I, Song Yinchen, always keep my promises.”
“You’d better remember that.”
The video had played to its end.
Xiao Mengyu shook her head, turned off her phone, and looked at the person behind her.
—It was Carrula, the Earth Emissary.
“Come back with me. You can now use the power of the Spirit Arts. We’ll see which one suits you best,” Carrula said.
“…Actually, I’m more used to using a sword and don’t really want to borrow the power of Spirit Arts,” Xiao Mengyu hesitated.
“Don’t worry, even high-level swordsmen have Spirit Arts. Spirit Arts will never hold you back,” Carrula replied.
Before Xiao Mengyu could speak, she added,
“You wouldn’t want that girl in the video to keep riding on your head, would you?”
This last sentence plunged Xiao Mengyu into silence.
After a few breaths.
She finally made a decision.
“Let’s go.”
“Good, that’s the spirit. There’s less than a year left. You must become stronger to protect everything on Earth.”
…
Space.
Shen Ye floated slowly.
He was sleeping soundly.
—Actually, he wanted to sleep in the dorm, but couldn’t.
He also couldn’t sleep in the World Government Council Hall.
But that kid named Rayming was pretty good—
The moment his eyes flickered, the spatial transmission began to activate.
He quickly sensed it—
He was being teleported to space.
Perfect!
There were fewer people in space, so he wouldn’t be easily disturbed while sleeping.
It was absolutely suitable for that matter—
Several lines of faint text quietly appeared:
“In this random transmission location, you have entered a peaceful dreamland.”
“You have activated the Immortal Kingdom Vision:”
“Grand Unity Manifestation of Life and Salvation Dream God Palace.”
“As you have gathered the Divine Mountain, Blood Moon, and Soul Palace, a vision combining three arts, the power of the Dream God Palace has been strengthened. As before, you can fix events into reality through ‘awakening’.”
“Begin!”
However, a Shen Ye emerged from Shen Ye, looking back.
“So I’m sleeping,”
He muttered to himself.
—It seems the vision has been successfully activated.
This was now a dream.
Shen Ye ignored everything else and directly shouted, “Door!”
The Door of Immovable Property opened.
He saw his clone sparring with the bronze figure.
The cat and dog guarded outside the house.
Everything was normal.
—But now that I have guards, and a cat and dog, shouldn’t I try my luck in the Truth Mine?
Under Shen Ye’s thoughts, the clone immediately stopped fighting.
He walked to the door, grabbed a pickaxe, and walked out with the bronze figure.
The faint light of bitter truth illuminated the small house, like a barrier of light.
The cat and dog came to greet him.
The cat vigorously shook its head, while the dog fawningly rubbed his hand.
“Come, let’s go mining.”
Shen Ye pointed to the dark mine area.
Without further ado.
He took the cat, dog, and bronze figure into the mine area, not going too deep, and just found a spot to start digging.
Digging and digging, digging and digging, he dug hard in the mine of truth.
Lines of prompts appeared:
“You started mining.”
“Mining in progress.”
“Mining in progress.”
“…”
“Click.”
A crisp sound of the pickaxe hitting something hard was heard.
“You dug something up!”
“Quick, see what it is!”
The clone squatted down, pulled hard, and dragged out a rectangular object.
—It was a coffin.
A coffin…
Shen Ye, controlling the clone, asked, “Human? Or demon?”
Dark Whisper activated!
A voice immediately rang out from inside the coffin: “Mortal, offer your soul, and I shall bestow upon you unique truth power!”
—Not a good thing.
Shen Ye directly pushed the coffin back into the dirt.
“You activated ‘Vampire Ancestor’.”
“The current coffin has merged with the truth ore.”
“Congratulations, this merger has resulted in super evolution.”
“You obtained ‘Coffin of Earth Seal’!”
“Description: The coffin is filled with truth ore, so much so that the being within has merged with the ore.”
It became quiet.
Great.
Shen Ye controlled the clone, raised the pickaxe high, and continued digging in a different direction.
But two lines of small text jumped out:
“You have dug up a coffin.”
“You must resolve the matter of this coffin before you can dig up new treasures!”
—Ignoring that coffin won’t work.
Shen Ye was a bit annoyed.
He dug the coffin out again, stood it upright by the mine pit, and let the bronze figure smash open the lid with its fists.
Inside the coffin lay a dusty humanoid stone sculpture.
—Originally alive, but because it merged with the truth ore, it turned into a stone sculpture.
“Stop pretending, you must still be alive. Introduce yourself,”
Shen Ye said.
The stone sculpture made a sound: “I am a creation of truth, possessing extremely powerful strength that can change everything.”
“Is that so? Come, change back to your original form.” Shen Ye said, crossing his arms.
The stone sculpture: “…”
Vampire Ancestor is an ancient-level trait. If the stone sculpture really had that power, it would have already changed back!
“Come on.” Shen Ye urged.
“Actually, I must sign a contract with you before I can exert my power, mortal,” the stone sculpture changed its tone.
“Why should I sign a contract with you?” Shen Ye asked.
“In your time of need, I can save you three times,” the stone sculpture said solemnly.
“What’s the price, then?” Shen Ye asked.
“You need to prepare offerings for me, even the simplest ones will do,” the stone sculpture said.
“What are the simplest offerings?” Shen Ye asked again.
“Ha, you asked! As long as you asked, you must sign a contract with me—now you’re doomed!” The stone sculpture laughed wildly.
“Why am I doomed?” Shen Ye asked.
“Those who actively ask about offerings will become offerings!” The stone sculpture said in a triumphant tone.
“I see.” Shen Ye nodded.
Suddenly.
The entire scene, including Shen Ye, the bronze figure, the cat and dog, and the stone sculpture, all vanished.
In space.
Shen Ye yawned, turned over, and entered dreamland again.
The vision retracted.
The vision unfurled again—
Grand Unity Manifestation of Life and Salvation Dream God Palace!
His dream body reappeared, and he lowly uttered, “Door!”
The Door of Immovable Property opened.
Just like last time—
He took the bronze figure, the cat and dog, into the mine and began digging.
The coffin was dug out again.
The coffin was about to cause trouble, but Shen Ye merged it into a stone sculpture.
The bronze figure opened the coffin lid.
“We meet again.” Shen Ye greeted.
“What does ‘again’ mean?” The stone sculpture asked warily.
“Nothing—oh, by the way, who are you?”
“I am a divine being of truth. I can save you three times in your time of need,” the stone sculpture said solemnly.
“What’s the price?” Shen Ye asked.
“You must prepare offerings for me, even the simplest ones,” the stone sculpture said.
“I see, you want me to prepare gold coins.” Shen Ye suddenly realized.
“Not gold coins, offerings,” the stone sculpture corrected.
“How many gold coins?”
“I said offerings!”
“How many gold coins do you want?”
“Damn it, I want offerings!”
“Deer hide? That’s not easy to get,” Shen Ye said, rubbing his hands, a bit troubled.
Cracks appeared on the surface of the stone sculpture, trembling uncontrollably.
“Don’t get excited, watch out for high blood pressure—never mind, I’ll help you.”
Shen Ye kicked the stone sculpture into the mine pit and activated the trait again.
Lines of faint text quietly appeared:
“You activated ‘Vampire Ancestor’.”
“The cracks have been repaired.”
“This fusion has incorporated the hard truth rock at the bottom of the mine pit, enhancing the overall strength of the statue.”
“Furthermore, the statue will become more lustrous and textured.”
“This is a great achievement in the history of sculpture restoration!”
All the small text vanished.
The stone sculpture struggled on the ground, finding itself heavier and more deeply confined—
It then calmed down.
“Fine, gold coins it is. Come, offer them to me.” The stone sculpture adjusted its tone.
“Yes!”
Shen Ye responded, pulling out a few gold coins and tossing them in front of the stone sculpture.
The stone sculpture suddenly burst into wild laughter:
“With these gold coins as offerings, your soul shall be parasitized by me!”
“Come—mortal, enjoy the honor of merging with me, you will gain endless suffering!”
As its voice fell silent.
The dark mine area was completely quiet.
The bronze figure, cat, and dog all assumed battle stances, ready to protect Shen Ye at any moment.
However—
Nothing happened.
“You’re not a good person, are you?” Shen Ye suddenly realized.
“Why isn’t my spell working? This is impossible!” The stone sculpture cried out in disbelief, then suddenly remembered something and immediately released a burst of power.
That power struck a few gold coins.
The golden layer on the surface of the coins shattered, revealing the copper within.
Copper coins.
Copper coins scattered across the ground.
“Damn it! Do you know what shameful thing you’ve done?” The stone sculpture condemned.
“Just throwing money around, I think it suits you well, oh, not bad.” Shen Ye said indifferently.
The stone sculpture was speechless.
The cat, dog, and bronze figure beside him lowered their heads, trembling all over, barely suppressing their laughter.
“Do you know what an offering is?”
The stone sculpture asked, unwilling to give up.
“A prize? It’s an existence more outstanding than its peers. There are also such things among those who throw money around, like you,” Shen Ye said.
At this point, the stone sculpture couldn’t help but realize that the other party was actually making fun of him.
—The other party knew everything!
“…Fool, great truth-seekers do not like parasitizing ignorant souls like yours. Let us part ways here.”
The stone sculpture said grudgingly, then covered itself with the coffin lid, and along with the entire coffin, sank into the ground, emitting a gradually receding sound.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
A dark gray mushroom emerged from the ground.
Shen Ye was startled.
Things could actually grow in the Truth Mine?
Then he saw lines of faint text appearing next to the dark gray mushroom:
“The slumbering evil god paid the price to leave your vicinity and have no further dealings with you.”
“In fact, it sensed someone mining and proactively wanted to get acquainted with you.”
“But it went back on its word, so it had to pay the price!”
“Congratulations.”
“You have obtained the mushroom of truth.”
“Feeding it to living creatures in the truth mine can increase their strength and keep them sated for thirty days.”
Living creatures…
Shen Ye subconsciously looked at the cat and dog.
He saw the cat and dog already squatting in front of the dark gray mushroom, both heads showing a pleading expression.
“It’s not like I can’t give it to you.”
Shen Ye said.
Both heads of the cat and dog instantly became excited, their bodies prone on the ground, continuously making excited “meow” and “woof” sounds.
But there was a small problem here—
“Which head should I feed it to?” Shen Ye asked.
The cat and dog both paused, then slowly turned their heads to look at each other.
—They started fighting!
Shen Ye shook his head and looked at the bronze figure.
The bronze figure patted its stomach, making “clang” “clang” sounds, and took a step back.
Got it.
You’re bronze, you can’t eat this stuff.
So, it’s still for the cat and dog.
“Stop! No more fighting. Tell me what skills you both have, and I’ll make a decision.”
Shen Ye shouted.
The cat and dog stopped fighting and squatted obediently in front of him.
A telepathic message emanated from it, communicating with Shen Ye.
At the same time, lines of faint text appeared in the void:
“??? displayed its talents.”
“Basic Ability: Strength increases thirtyfold after zombification.”
“Cat Ability: Agile Hunting.”
“Dog Ability: Reconnaissance and Ore Seeking.”
Shen Ye hesitated for a moment, then simply cut the mushroom into two equal halves, giving one to the cat and one to the dog.
Better to suffer from want than from uneven distribution.
—If he fed it to the dog, the cat would be sad; and vice versa.
By cutting it in half, everyone got some, so there would be no problem.
Indeed.
The cat and dog quickly ate the mushrooms, both looking very happy.
Eat up.
Even if they can’t improve too much in a short time, at least their treatment is the same.
Several lines of faint text appeared before Shen Ye’s eyes:
“The cat’s combat ability has been enhanced;”
“The dog’s reconnaissance ability has been enhanced;”
“The cat and dog now gain a fortyfold increase in strength after zombification;”
“In addition, its loyalty has increased.”
Alright then.
Having a pet is nice, I hope they contribute more in the future.
Shen Ye hoisted his pickaxe, jumped into another mine pit, and started digging vigorously.
“Woof, woof, woof!”
The dog of the cat-dog suddenly barked.
“What?” Shen Ye turned to look at it.
The dog seemed a bit agitated, so it jumped down, bit his clothes, and dragged him in one direction.
Hmm?
What was going on?
Shen Ye followed the dog to a corner, where the ore was as fine as sand, reflecting a shimmering light.
Could it be—
Shen Ye raised his pickaxe and dug vigorously.
In just three to five minutes.
The pickaxe hit something hard.
When dug out, it was a finely crafted fragment of a truth soul.
It glowed faintly, and its size was larger than the two fragments Shen Ye had previously obtained.
What’s more, it was a complete circle.
Could it be—
This wasn’t a fragment, but a complete truth soul?
The bronze figure began to observe its surroundings nervously.
The cat and dog also jumped out of the mine pit, their faces full of vigilance as they looked around.
wωω● тт kán● co
Shen Ye’s heart skipped a beat.
—They were afraid someone would snatch it.
It seems what was dug out was something remarkable.
Go back!
Study it carefully in a safe environment!
“Well done.”
Shen Ye praised the dog, waved his hand to put the item away, shouldered his pickaxe, and turned to leave.
His footsteps were hurried all the way.
He safely returned to the small house, let the cat, dog, and bronze figure rest, closed the door, and then took out the object to examine it closely.
Prompts quickly appeared in the void:
“Soul of Truth (small).”
“Description: Unlike fragments, a complete Soul of Truth contains a unique power of truth, which will only be known after use.”
“You can choose:”
“1. Integrate into your immovable property;”
“2. Expand the scope of your mining area.”
Just kidding.
Of course, the first priority is to strengthen one’s immovable property.
If a powerful monster came and the immovable property couldn’t defend itself, wouldn’t everything be in vain?
“Integrate into immovable property.”
Shen Ye said without hesitation.
The spherical Soul of Truth immediately disappeared.
Accordingly.
The faint light barrier outside the small house brightened a little.
Lines of prompts quickly appeared:
“‘Glimmer of Bitter Truth’ has been strengthened!”
“1. Within the range covered by the glimmer, the daily limit on resurrections for the small house is removed, but each resurrection of an entity requires a 5-minute cooldown;”
“2. ‘Name’ is the budding of a trait. With the complete Soul of Truth, your immovable property, the small house, can now receive a name. Please give it a name within 10 minutes.”
Respawn point.
The small house became a respawn point!
—This was truly good news.
Shen Ye was incredibly excited, and immediately began to think of a name for the small house.
Only 10 minutes!
What name should I give it?
It was already known that even houses could gain traits.
He needed to choose a name that would be conducive to it generating traits.
Quick!
Think fast!
…Can’t think of anything.
Forget it.
Let’s call it Little Western Paradise.
—This was inspired by the fake Xu Xingke.
Moreover, this name was related to his strategic vision, constantly reminding him of the developing direction of the small house.
Furthermore, if he met fellow villagers in the future, they would naturally understand the name.
As Shen Ye made his decision, faint text appeared:
“You have named your immovable property, the small house:”
wωw◆ ттκan◆ ℃ O
“Little Western Paradise.”
“Description: With such a resounding name, its strength and reputation will bring corresponding traits.”
“—You somewhat forced that.”
All the small text retracted.
On the door of the small house appeared a signboard, with three grand, flowing characters:
“Little Western Paradise.”
Shen Ye glanced at it and nodded in satisfaction.
This trip was quite smooth.
In order to preserve the current benefits—
“This is reality.”
Shen Ye said.
In an instant.
Everything the dream body experienced became reality.
All the events just now were real, not dreams generated by the vision.
Save successful!
Shen Ye turned over, yawned, muttered a few words, and continued to fall asleep.
The Grand Unity Manifestation of Life and Salvation Dream God Palace activated again!
As he slept, he gently took a few breaths.
Continuously activating the combined vision of the three arts was actually very draining.
A Shen Ye emerged from the sleeping Shen Ye.
“Big Skeleton.”
He called out.
“I’m here.” Big Skeleton emerged from the void.
“Get ready for battle.” Shen Ye said.
“Battle? With whom?” Big Skeleton looked at the vast and desolate cosmos, lost in confusion.
“Someone provoked me in the World Government Council Hall just now.”
“No—you just slept, and only now decide to seek revenge?”
“Actually, this is also a dream now.”
“Shen Ye, what are you thinking in your head?”
“Because even if our teacher is gone, they wouldn’t dare to move, after all, our teacher is a vengeful person, he even has a vengeful beast,” Shen Ye explained.
“But that guy named Rayming attacked you,” Big Skeleton chimed in.
“Precisely, they actually dared to attack me immediately. I suspect they’re not brain-dead, but rather, as Jian Ji said—”
Shen Ye’s gaze became deep and cold, and he whispered:
“The people sent by the ‘White Night Demon Cage’ have already infiltrated the Death Star, constantly infiltrating and backing those who are testing me.”
“How do you know?” Big Skeleton asked.
“I don’t know—but Jian Ji said, the moment the Fear Giant awakens, the enemies will sense it—why wouldn’t they take action?” Shen Ye asked.
“Good point… So you just relied on the random teleportation location to sleep, and then used your dream body to test the situation?”
“Yes.”
“You’re too cautious.”
“I don’t want to die—I’ll have to rely on you for this battle.”
“Don’t worry.” Big Skeleton chuckled, pulled out a dagger, and tied it to its waist.
—Soul Stealer.
A mythical dagger.
“When you intend to stab a target, the dagger strikes the target.”
“Instant death upon hit.”
“Must be activated in close combat.”
This was an ancient dagger, which Shen Ye had given to Big Skeleton.
Because it wasn’t afraid of death, and could be resurrected even if it died!
It was most suitable for it to use this dagger.
“Depart!”
“Alright!”
Shen Ye opened a door and stepped through it, vanishing from space.
Death Star.
World Government Building.
An inconspicuous utility room.
Shen Ye pushed the door open and quietly appeared.
There was no movement outside.
His phone, however, vibrated a few times.
“Kunlun?”
“It’s me, Esteemed Shen Ye. Miss Song Yinchen has blocked a video, preventing you from seeing it, as it concerns her personal emotional privacy. Do you agree?”
Shen Ye held the phone, thought for a moment, and couldn’t help but ask, “Is it indeed her personal privacy?”
“It is indeed her privacy; she feels it would be inappropriate to release it publicly,” Kunlun said.
“Then I won’t watch it.” Shen Ye said cheerfully.
Anything, he would just ask her directly, and she would even tell him directly.
—How could a young girl not have privacy?
Should he go peeking into those inconvenient matters of a girl?
That would be too lewd.
“Understood!” Kunlun replied.
—The video of Song Yinchen’s public outburst and declaration of affection was destroyed.
Although everyone knew.
But Song Yinchen, after realizing it, still blushed and demanded its deletion.
Let her be an ostrich then, if she wants.
At least Shen Ye couldn’t see what had happened at that time.
After finishing his conversation with Kunlun, Shen Ye put away his phone and walked out of the utility room.
Corridor.
Several people stood in the corridor.
They wore unified combat armor, exuding an aura that surpassed ordinary professionals.
Leading them was a burly, bearded strong man.
“Haha, I thought I dealt with you too easily, but now it seems you’re worthy of our intervention.”
The burly man laughed heartily.
“I haven’t seen you before,” Shen Ye said.
“But you should be able to guess,” the burly man said.
“White Night Demon Cage?”
“Clever, worthy of being the little guy Jian Ji and the others value.”
“But how are you human?”
“Humans can also join the White Night Demon Cage, after all, it’s the strongest ultimate creation—let’s not waste words. Surrender, little guy, this is your only chance to live.”
As his voice fell silent.
Several people simultaneously assumed fighting stances.
A surging killing intent emanating from them, enveloping their surroundings.
Shen Ye showed a grave expression.
These people—
He had no idea how strong they really were.
Fortunately, the highest power allowed on Death Star’s pháp giới was nine-fold.
This was the self-protection mechanism of the multi-layered universe, and also why Death Star could always exist.
But traits and visions were not restricted.
“Surrender? Or die?”
The burly man reached out and grabbed a spear from the void, a sinister smile on his face.
Shen Ye was silent for a moment.
He suddenly began to laugh, and said:
“Didn’t you just think that my teacher was gone, which is why you dared to come to the Death Star?”
“—Actually, my teacher, he didn’t leave.”
A card appeared in his hand.
Contact card.
“Teacher, good news, World Government here on Death Star will only wait for 5 minutes.”
Shen Ye spoke into the card.
Xu Xingke’s voice immediately rang out from the card:
“What good news? Wait a moment, I’ll be right there.”
Shen Ye put away the card, crossed his arms, and adopted a spectator’s stance towards the other side.
This stance made the several people on the opposite side look at each other.
They had heard the conversation just now clearly.
Even the burly man’s face turned ugly.
Xu Xingke—
The intelligence said he was constantly recovering his strength.
If attacking the White Night Demon Cage was just a feint on his part, then what was his true objective?
To kill betrayers like themselves?
It wasn’t impossible.
—Who didn’t know he was a person who hated evil like poison?
“You… your teacher didn’t leave?”
Fear welled up in the burly man’s heart, and he asked, forcing himself to remain calm.
Suddenly.
A strong light flashed across the sky.
A figure appeared directly in the corridor, with his back to everyone.
*Snap.*
The lighter ignited.
A cigarette was lit, deeply inhaled, and a long plume of smoke was exhaled.
A classic cigarette-lighting gesture!
—It was Xu Xingke!
Everyone was shocked, and involuntarily retreated, huddling together into a defensive formation.
“Shen Ye, I’m here. What’s the matter?”
Xu Xingke asked.
“Teacher, these are human traitors who have already joined the White Night Demon Cage—I remember you love killing such traitors the most, so I called you here to have some fun,” Shen Ye said obediently.
He saw Xu Xingke’s hand tremble.
No.
It should be said that the hand of the fake Xu Xingke trembled.
Teacher was busy attacking the White Night Demon Cage, how could he ask him back to deal with things?
So, calling a fake one back would suffice.
—He didn’t know how strong this fake one was.
Today was a good day to test it.
“Oh? Is that so?”
The fake Xu Xingke pretended to be calm, looked at the several people opposite him, and deliberately sighed:
“You will all die.”
The burly man roared:
“Hmph, I’ve long heard that Xu Xingke is cunning and shameless… I, at one point, was also a famous strong man. Today, however, I wish to learn a thing or two.”
He said, pushing his companions next to him, signaling them to go forward.
But they didn’t budge.
Which traitor would foolishly go to their death?
The fake Xu Xingke also remained still.
Damn Shen Ye.
These guys were all the most heinous and notorious existences from back then.
You want me, alone, to fight against all of them?
I’m not Xu Xingke!
A strange silence descended upon the corridor.
