Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 451

Shen Ye looked at the fake Xu Xingke.

He was actually a little curious about what he really looked like.

But never mind.

At such a critical juncture, let’s see if he can survive first.

“Teacher, defeat them!”

Shen Ye clenched his fist and shouted with surging passion.

The fake Xu Xingke’s body trembled slightly.

Fortunately, he was used to grand occasions, so he took advantage of the tremor to shake off the cigarette ash.

—The movement was incomparably suave.

Everyone opposite tensed up, taking defensive stances one after another.

A great battle was about to erupt!

“Shen Ye.”

The fake Xu Xingke spoke.

“Teacher!” Shen Ye responded.

“Hurry up and leave,” the fake Xu Xingke said with unrestrained expression and murderous intent, “My next attack will be extremely domineering. You need to leave here to avoid being affected.”

“Yes! Thank you for your concern, Teacher!”

Shen Ye said.

He turned and flew away from the building, rapidly soaring into the distance.

Those people from the White Night Demonic Cage merely glanced at him and then ignored him—

Xu Xingke was still here!

They cautiously stared at Xu Xingke, not even daring to launch an attack first.

The fake Xu Xingke, however, looked up at the sky.

Until the departing Shen Ye was no longer visible—

The fake Xu Xingke suddenly pulled something out of his pocket, tossed it over, and said in a deep voice:

“Look more closely.”

The burly man stared at the object, ready to attack immediately, but after seeing it clearly, his expression suddenly changed.

He hastily caught the item.

—It was a badge.

“Impossible!”

The burly man exclaimed.

Although somewhat incredulous, he seemed to have found a way out, and his entire being relaxed.

The fake Xu Xingke snorted softly and said:

“It took me great effort to impersonate Xu Xingke. I’m currently deeply immersed in this world and about to uncover its true secrets—”

“You are not allowed to disturb me.”

The burly man didn’t respond immediately, focusing only on identifying the badge.

He cast several spells, and the badge radiated corresponding light.

It wasn’t fake!

“This badge belongs to the master—but you—” The burly man looked at Xu Xingke.

“I am not Xu Xingke,” the fake Xu Xingke said.

“But you conflict with our mission. We are here to overthrow this world and seize their power!” the burly man said.

“More important than your mission is to understand the secrets here and then take all its treasures,” the fake Xu Xingke said.

As if afraid the other party wouldn’t believe him, he pulled out another document and threw it over directly.

The burly man took it and read it, his expression becoming complicated, and he said in a deep voice:

“Your mission authority is above ours… Very well, we will temporarily retreat today, but we will immediately return to report and incidentally report the situation.”

“Go, perhaps you will soon join my ranks and help me complete this mission,” the fake Xu Xingke said.

The few people behind the burly man also completely relaxed.

“But that Shen Ye won’t be let off. The other half of our people have gone to pursue him,” a subordinate explained.

“I don’t care about his life or death. In short, you are not to interfere with my mission. We won’t interfere with each other.”

The fake Xu Xingke said coldly.

The burly man thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

—He was not supposed to obstruct a colleague’s mission anyway.

“Farewell, we need to go back and report first.”

“Farewell.”

The burly man nodded to the fake Xu Xingke, took his companions, and disappeared in a flash.

Only the fake Xu Xingke remained.

The fake Xu Xingke “hmph”ed, lit another cigarette, and turned to walk toward the room behind the long corridor.

Lines of prompt text appeared before his eyes:

“You activated the Gate of Friendship, targeting the White Night Spirit King.”

“You opened the locker and obtained his keepsake.”

“You used keepsake one: ‘Spirit King Emblem’; keepsake two: ‘Advanced Mission Document’.”

“Using both keepsakes in conjunction gained the trust of others.”

All the small characters flashed and disappeared.

The fake Xu Xingke tremblingly raised his hand, put the cigarette in his mouth, and took a deep puff.

Sweat dripped from his cheeks.

Smoke swirled.

“You scared me to death… scared me to death…”

A voice full of lingering fear quietly echoed in the corridor.

On the other side.

Shen Ye flew while sending a message to Kunlun on his phone:

“Although I don’t think there will be a fight, let’s still evacuate the people from the government building.”

“Understood, arrangements are being made for evacuation,” Kunlun replied.

Shen Ye put down his phone, feeling a bit bored.

—The fake Xu Xingke’s ability was the Gate of Friendship.

As long as he wanted to live, this battle would inevitably not happen.

That’s why he let himself leave.

He was afraid of being exposed on the spot.

How boring.

Those people were not easy to fool, and they were indeed the biggest threat to the current Death Planet.

If.

Someone secretly caught up to deal with him—

Shen Ye covered his eyes with a black cloth, activated the “Blind Pride” keyword, and flew slower and slower in the sky.

Sure enough, someone was chasing him from behind.

Micro-characters popped out:

“The opponent possesses a first-tier Truth Name.”

“The opponent has begun to activate this name.”

Shen Ye suddenly accelerated, flying forward with all his might.

Streaks of spell light blasted towards him.

He dodged and fled.

Sometimes, the spells hit him.

He would let out a loud scream, but continued to fly forward with determination.

The pursuers behind him attacked even more vigorously.

Ten seconds.

Ended.

“The ‘Kuafu’ you designated has pursued for ten seconds, determined to be dead.”

“This judgment is a three-tiered Truth of the Dharma Realm, suppressing all lower-level powers and defenses.”

—”Lord of the Sun Wheel.”

“Lord of the Sun Wheel” is a three-tiered Truth, while “Blind Pride” is a two-tiered Truth.

On this Death Planet, everyone’s strength is limited to the nine tiers of the Dharma Realm.

—They can only compete with keywords and Dharma Idols.

Therefore, the True Level is an extremely important factor, directly determining the outcome of battles.

High in the sky.

Corpses fell one after another.

Shen Ye wasn’t interested in watching; he just let Kunlun clean up the mess and see if he could gather any intelligence.

At this point, the Dharma Idol Taiyi Yanming Jiuku Mengshen Palace had also lasted too long.

Shen Ye was a little tired.

Let’s end it.

That’s enough for today.

He would activate his Dharma Idol again when he had rested sufficiently or encountered a truly dangerous situation.

With this thought, he spoke:

“All of this is reality.”

In an instant.

The him slumbering in the universe disappeared.

The him who had just eliminated the enemy was the real him.

And everything that had just happened was real.

Save successful!

“So tired, I really need to rest this time,” Shen Ye sighed.

“You said you’d let me make a move,” the Big Skeleton said sullenly.

“Next time, there’ll always be a chance.”

As Shen Ye was speaking, he suddenly felt a dizzy spell.

Everything around him disappeared.

What’s going on?

He gathered his spirits, vigilantly observing his surroundings.

He saw himself standing in front of a building, dressed in a military uniform, holding a gun, and about to push open a door to enter.

Several soldiers followed behind him.

This was—

It was the building he had arrived at as a soldier, following orders from his superiors!

—How did he return to the ruins ahead of time?

Lines of faint text appeared:

“The adjustment of the Primordial Ruins has been completed ahead of schedule.”

“That extremely critical existence sensed you, and as soon as the Primordial Ruins had the conditions for simulation, she specifically asked to see you.”

“You have returned to the simulated scenario.”

“—Only you.”

“Simulation duration: 5 hours, 22 minutes.”

“Please try your best to explore everything before the demise of the current multi-layered universe!”

Shen Ye couldn’t utter a single word, feeling only profound shock.

If you said that the Valiant Giant was in slumber, and the information in the simulation disturbed it, thus creating a summoning sensation, that would make sense.

But what was this situation?

This was merely a simulation, yet the being within the simulation specifically requested to see him.

In other words—

This was a game, and a character in the game specifically asked to see him?

And then he was teleported in.

Could it simulate to this extent?

The door was pushed open.

“Follow me!” a professional said.

He led the way, with Shen Ye and a few soldiers closely following behind. They soon arrived at an underground bunker.

Just like last time.

Over a dozen powerful professionals gathered here.

In the center of the crowd, a long-haired pregnant woman, radiating a sacred light, stood among the people and looked towards Shen Ye.

“You’ve come.”

A female voice echoed in Shen Ye’s ear.

—It was telepathy, just like last time!

“You know me?”

Shen Ye asked.

“Rather than saying I know you, I’d say I recognize the three techniques on you, and thus I know you are from another multi-layered universe,” the female voice said.

Three techniques?

Shen Ye glanced at the pregnant woman in surprise.

The pregnant woman nodded and smiled.

At this moment, the leading professional stood up and said:

“Madam, please select a soldier.”

“Him,” the pregnant woman pointed at Shen Ye and said.

The professional then patted Shen Ye’s shoulder and said, “You go out the back door and take this lady to the boat. We will hold the rear!”

“—Soldier, move out!”

As he spoke, someone had already opened the large iron gate behind the underground bunker.

It was a heavy iron gate, five men tall, requiring eight strong professionals to push it together to activate the moving runes on the gate.

Rumble—

The iron gate was pushed open, revealing the dark underground passage behind it.

A cold, damp wind blew into the underground bunker, carrying faint sounds of flowing water.

The soldiers were a bit surprised.

Was this mission just to protect a pregnant woman?

“Mission accomplished!”

Shen Ye shouted, took the lead, helped the woman, and walked towards the back of the iron gate.

The other soldiers, as if waking from a dream, quickly followed behind him, but were stopped by the professionals.

“You stay here and guard this place with us.”

The leading professional ordered.

“But—”

“There are no ‘buts’; this is an order. Those who disobey will be executed.”

Boom!

The heavy iron gate slowly moved, covering the voices of the crowd.

The iron gate finally closed.

A pitch black.

Underfoot was a rugged rocky path.

“We need to hurry; they won’t last much longer.”

The woman spoke.

Shen Ye’s heart inexplicably tightened, and he immediately asked, “Where are we going?”

“There’s a wooden boat on the water ten kilometers away that can take us through the underground river and out of this city,” the woman said.

Boom!!!

A deafening sound came from the large iron gate behind them.

Amidst this sound, several screams were mixed.

“We need to leave quickly.”

The woman urged again.

Shen Ye, however, asked, “May I ask your identity, madam—”

The woman spoke, “I am a multi-layered universe destroyed by the ‘White Night Demonic Cage’. When I was dying, to warn other multi-layered universes, I condensed into an information body.”

“Other multi-layered universes, after approaching my corpse, can read information about the ‘White Night Demonic Cage’ from me.”

“This way, you might have a chance to win.”

As the woman spoke, a line of small characters appeared above her head:

“Multi-layered Universe Consciousness Lord.”

So that’s how it is.

Shen Ye nodded slightly, silently chanting “door”.

The Gate to Heaven immediately appeared before him, and he opened it.

On the other side of the door was the wooden boat.

Seeing this, the woman smiled and said, “Is the power of your Sixth Era a door?”

She stepped through first.

Shen Ye followed closely behind.

The two came aboard the boat, and Shen Ye picked up a wooden oar and started rowing.

The small boat sped forward.

Drifting with the current, they quickly left everything behind.

“May I know your name?” Shen Ye asked.

“Just call me Surong. It’s the name I use when disguised as a human woman—I quite like human names,” the woman said with a smile.

“Sister Su, how do you know I’m from another multi-layered universe?” Shen Ye asked.

“You have three ultimate powers of an era that I don’t possess—the development of each multi-layered universe is not the same, but I cannot mistake the power on you,” Surong said.

This was almost the same as the previous answer.

“Sister Su, the White Night Demonic Cage is about to attack our world. Is there anything you can do to help me?”

Shen Ye asked.

“Take your time. Before I die, I can always teach you,” Surong said slowly.

Before dying?

Shen Ye’s gaze flickered, and he saw lines of faint characters appearing in the void:

“Simulation duration: 5 hours, 22 minutes.”

“During this time, each time you avoid or overcome a disaster, ensuring your and Surong’s survival, you will receive her guidance.”

“Current time:”

“00:07:59.”

Only a few minutes had passed!

A chilling wind blew from afar, carrying a sense of trepidation.

“Four Kings!”

Shen Ye shouted.

The Four Kings immediately leaped out of the Dharma Idol, each holding a wooden oar, rowing the small boat with all their might.

The wooden boat shot forward like an arrow.

The wind behind gradually lessened.

Eventually, it returned to calm.

—No matter what it was, it couldn’t catch up.

Surong smiled and began:

“Shall I tell you about the power levels first?”

“Of course, thank you!” Shen Ye quickly said.

—To have the consciousness of a multi-layered universe personally explain power levels, such treatment was unparalleled! How could he refuse?

“Generally speaking, the power of a keyword is greater than that of a Dharma Idol or basic attributes, because it condenses the purest rules of power—”

“The power of a keyword alone can determine the outcome of a battle.”

“But keywords are very difficult to obtain.”

“Only a handful of people in each multi-layered universe can fight and win using multiple keywords.”

Surong glanced at Shen Ye and continued:

“You don’t have this problem, but you also have corresponding shortcomings.”

“My Dharma Realm cultivation is too low,” Shen Ye agreed.

“Exactly, this involves a higher level of power—”

“The ultimate power of the era.”

“Your three techniques are the ultimate powers, the fruits that the multi-layered universe produces through its growth in each era.”

“If keywords are the decisive force in general battles, then the three techniques are truth, and their power is higher than keywords.”

“Truth?” Shen Ye repeated.

“Yes,” Surong smiled. “A three-year-old child cannot wield a world-destroying heavy blade, and a newborn chick cannot soar to the top of the sky.”

She made a simple analogy.

“You mean my Dharma Realm cultivation is too low, and my overall attributes aren’t strong enough, so I can’t unleash the true power of the three techniques?” Shen Ye asked.

“Exactly. You must make up for your shortcomings to unleash the true power of the three techniques.”

“It seems I need to quickly improve my overall attributes…” Shen Ye muttered thoughtfully.

“Yes.” Surong showed a relieved smile.

Shen Ye fell into contemplation.

—The quickest way to improve overall attributes is to improve Dharma Realm strength.

Then—

Step up the leveling?

Shen Ye glanced at Little Western Paradise.

His clone was diligently practicing “Guide to Rapid Cultivation” inside.

One day equals three months.

The bronze figures also provided a bonus.

It was already fast enough.

But he hadn’t yet broken through the eleventh tier of the Dharma Realm.

“However, the improvement of Dharma Realm strength is a gradual process that cannot be rushed, so if you cultivate using conventional methods, you won’t be able to catch up with this apocalypse,”

Surong said.

Ahead.

At the end of the underground river, seven or eight tributaries appeared.

Surong pointed in one direction and said:

“Row this way, we’re taking this path.”

Shen Ye made a gesture.

The Four Kings immediately controlled the oars, directing the small boat into that secluded tributary.

Seeing the wooden boat running smoothly, Shen Ye retracted his gaze and spoke:

“Please take a look at this book for me—it’s for rapidly increasing Dharma Realm cultivation.”

He took out the “Guide to Rapid Cultivation.”

Surong merely glanced at it, and just as she was about to speak, she suddenly closed her mouth again.

Shen Ye also had a feeling.

“Every time you avoid or overcome a disaster, ensuring your and Surong’s survival, you will receive her guidance.”

Now.

Danger has arrived.

Shen Ye truly wanted to know the multi-layered universe consciousness’s evaluation of this book, and couldn’t help but shout:

“Big Skeleton!”

The void opened.

The Big Skeleton, with the “Soul-Snatching” dagger in its mouth, jumped into mid-air, its form shifting with a “chatter-chatter”.

Splash!

It plunged into the water, quickly diving towards the waterway the boat had come from.

Even from a great distance, one could see its four rapidly paddling claws and its hard, armor-like shell.

After more than ten breaths.

An earth-shattering roar was heard, shaking dust from the underground cave.

“The dagger is good; it took care of the aquatic beast that was chasing us—”

“But your skeleton is dead.”

Surong said.

“It’s fine, it will revive,” Shen Ye said, looking towards his Dharma Idol.

He saw that the tombstone belonging to the Big Skeleton within the Dharma Idol began to emit a faint soul flame.

Resurrection would take some time.

—This was the only price.

The Big Skeleton’s desperate struggle, combined with the “instant kill” effect of the “Soul-Snatching” dagger, was simply too overpowered!

Surong had already taken the “Guide to Rapid Cultivation” from Shen Ye’s hand and carefully read through it.

“A treasure brought forth by the Law of Causality, using the ultimate power of the Sixth Era to conjure this book out of thin air, in a ‘wish-fulfilling’ manner.”

Surong said.

Shen Ye’s eyes lit up.

Completely accurate!

“If I cultivate according to it, there shouldn shouldn’t be any issues right?” he asked.

“The book is not the problem; your multi-layered universe is,” Surong said.

“What do you mean?” Shen Ye asked, puzzled.

“Your multi-layered universe was born incomplete and developed hastily, originally having many flaws. Then it forcibly skipped the Fifth Era to develop the ‘gate’ ability of the Sixth Era, exhausting all its rules and origin.”

“Therefore, it did not form a perfect construct in the most basic Dharma Realm power.”

Surong pressed her hand on the “Guide to Rapid Cultivation.”

The next second.

The book suddenly became thinner.

Lines of faint characters appeared in the void next to the book:

“Guide to Rapid Cultivation.”

“Revised and re-edited.”

“Description: Has received guidance from another multi-layered universe, thus becoming simpler, more efficient, easier to level up, and will gain corresponding special abilities at certain cultivation levels.”

“—A product of ‘wish’ and ‘causality’.”

“—Revised and guided by the Multi-Layered Universe Consciousness.”

Surong handed the book to Shen Ye.

“Keep it safe, and don’t easily pass it on to others. It could cause unfathomable harm to you.”

She cautioned.

“Why?” Shen Ye asked.

“The source energy of the entire universe is limited. The more people who cultivate it, the harder it becomes for the universe, and you will also encounter inexplicable dangers—this is the principle of risk equivalence—it’s best if only you cultivate it, and don’t give it to anyone else,” Surong said.

“Alright, I understand.”

Shen Ye placed the “Guide to Rapid Cultivation” back into the Little Western Paradise, where his clone once again earnestly studied, comprehended, and cultivated it.

A moment later.

Lines of faint characters immediately appeared:

“About to advance to the eleventh tier of the Dharma Realm.”

“Please note.”

“If you reach the fifteenth tier of the Dharma Realm, you will gain special abilities corresponding to that strength level.”

“—From the revised secret cultivation method.”

Shen Ye pondered for a moment and asked:

“Sister Su, does this mean that every time I learn from you, I must first overcome a danger?”

“Precisely. The ‘White Night Demonic Cage’ will desperately try to prevent you from getting useful things from me. You must overcome the curses they set, and then I can teach you something new,” Surong nodded.

Shen Ye said, “So I’ve already received your guidance, and the ‘Guide to Rapid Cultivation’ has become stronger. What next—”

Surong smiled slightly, looking towards the bow of the boat.

Ahead.

In the flowing water, there was an island.

A man stood on the island.

The aura around him solidified into an invisible “qi wall,” blocking all the void on the river surface, making it impossible for the wooden boat to pass.

Shen Ye understood, his body leaped, and he flew out, landing on the island.

Seeing him arrive, the man drew his knife and calmly said:

“The most annoying thing about multi-layered universes is that when they die, they condense into conscious entities, sending warnings to other multi-layered universes and even helping them find countermeasures.”

“But there’s also good news—”

“What good news?” Shen Ye asked.

“—This time she chose a piece of trash below the eleventh tier of the Dharma Realm,” the man said.

Shen Ye smiled, covered his eyes with a black cloth, and then said:

“Looking down on people is a sickness, and sickness must be cured. Do you agree?”

“I agree with your mother,” the man said with full malice.

In an instant.

The crimson “Danger” character above his head exploded.

Above Shen Ye’s head, however, appeared the truth keyword “Blind Pride.”

The two rushed towards each other simultaneously.

—The battle began!

On the wooden boat.

Surong rested her chin on her hand, watching the two on the island with interest, and whispered to herself:

“A battle primarily driven by keywords? That’s quite rare.”
