Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 457
byLittle Western Heaven.
Shen Ye, the bronze man, and the cats and dogs sat on the wooden floor.
“Meeting is now in session!”
Shen Ye cleared his throat and patted the floor.
The bronze man and the cats and dogs immediately sat up straight, their faces solemn.
“The other party has upped the ante, demanding that this battle be upgraded to a Triple Truth Battle. I have agreed.”
Shen Ye’s voice echoed in the room.
“I’m not familiar with Truth Creation Battles.”
“Fortunately, Su Rong is on our side and has already integrated the eyeball into the Primordial Ruins.”
“Through what she personally witnessed back then, we can gather some intelligence.”
“For example—”
“The Bloodfen Swamp, when upgraded to the triple level, will undergo the following changes:”
“1. The Bloodfen Swamp will transform into a Bloodfen War Fortress;”
“2. It can summon high-level truth creations such as Blood Knights, Blood Mammoth Elephants, and Blood Dragons;”
“3. Other unknowns.”
“Do we have a countermeasure?”
After Shen Ye finished speaking, he looked intently at the cats and dogs.
The cats and dogs thought about the appearance of the Blood Mammoth Elephant—
We can’t even handle one Blood Knight, let alone a mammoth?
The cat’s head and dog’s head looked at each other.
They simultaneously extended their paws and smacked each other on the head.
Thump!
The cats and dogs fell into a coma at the same time and fell to the floor.
—This was a昏遁 (light coma).
Shen Ye couldn’t help but shake his head and looked at the bronze man.
At this moment, the bronze man’s arms had been reattached. He pondered for a few breaths, took out a keyboard, and started typing ‘pitter-patter’.
“You mean they’re not as good as you at writing novels?” Shen Ye asked.
The bronze man nodded cheerfully.
Shen Ye sighed.
—But after they hit you a few times for writing novels and cooking, they must be on guard and won’t compete with you in this again!
“I wasn’t finished speaking just now, wake up the cats and dogs first.”
Shen Ye said.
The bronze man nodded, grabbed the cats and dogs, and gave them a few sturdy blows on the head.
The cats and dogs slowly woke up, looking expectantly at the bronze man.
—Have you finished talking yet?
The bronze man turned his head away with a look of disdain.
Shen Ye cleared his throat and said:
“Here’s the thing. If it’s upgraded to a Triple Truth Battle, your strengths will all increase.”
“I mainly want to know what kind of abilities you will have at the Triple Truth level of strength?”
The cats, dogs, and the bronze man all extended their paws (hands), pointing at Shen Ye.
“Me? What do you mean?”
Shen Ye asked in confusion.
Su Rong’s voice sounded in his ear:
“They belong to you; they are your truth creations.”
“Ultimately, what achievements they can make depends on how you cultivate them.”
Shen Ye spread his hands and said, “But this time we’re temporarily jumping to the level of the Triple Law Realm. I don’t have time to cultivate them at all.”
“Then it depends on what truth guides you,” Su Rong said.
“The truth that guides me?” Shen Ye asked, puzzled.
“Human guides are usually tricksters, huntresses, destroyers, kings, and recluses. They represent different truths.”
“Whoever your guide is determines the development direction of your truth creations.”
“—By the way, what guides you?”
Shen Ye recalled slightly.
Right.
At that time, five guides were dug out all at once.
But he had integrated them.
“My guide is a hidden existence, called the ‘Fate Diviner’,” Shen Ye said.
“Fate Diviner? I’ve never heard of it,” Su Rong said in surprise.
“He’s a hidden type—by the way, what is the guiding truth of the White Night Spirit King?” Shen Ye asked.
“On the path of truth, what guides the White Night Spirit King is the truth of ‘Disorder’, and all its power revolves around ‘shattering existing truths’,” Su Rong explained.
Shen Ye couldn’t help but fall into contemplation.
The direction of truth is still quite understandable.
For example, the truth held by a huntress is “hunting,” and her truth creations should all develop around “hunting.”
So what about his own “Fate Divination”?
He remembered that the five guides all said that sentence at the time:
“…You have found that deeply hidden guide; it is the first time it has appeared in truth…”
No wonder Su Rong didn’t know!
The Fate Diviner was appearing for the first time!
But how exactly would this truth cause truth creations to develop?
What direction would he himself take?
“I’d like to ask, how did everyone receive guidance from the truth?” Shen Ye asked.
“It’s very simple. Summon your truth creation, and then follow the truth that guides you, and you can get a glimpse,” Su Rong said.
As if afraid Shen Ye wouldn’t understand, she explained further:
“For example, if your guiding truth is ‘Hunting’, then you need to make all the preparations before hunting, then summon your truth creation, and ‘The Huntress’ will present the truth that guides you in hunting.”
“If it’s ‘The Hermit’, then you need to find a place to hide, remain concealed, and then summon the truth creation.”
“That’s too simple—can it really work like that?” Shen Ye asked.
“The Great Dao is simple; it is indeed that simple,” Su Rong said.
Shen Ye was still a little confused after hearing this.
“The Huntress” and “The Hermit” were both easy to understand.
His own guide, however, was the Fate Diviner, who had never appeared in the world.
Fate.
Divination…
Wait, could it be that thing!
Shen Ye was a bit disbelieving.
But in any case, he had to try.
He took a deep breath, composed himself, a smile appeared on his face, and he waved to the cats and dogs:
“Cats and dogs, good, extend your paws.”
The cats and dogs were a bit confused.
But since their master had spoken, they would generously extend a paw.
The cats and dogs stepped forward, crouched in front of Shen Ye, and extended a paw to him.
Shen Ye took the paw and examined it carefully.
Hmm.
Clean.
The paw pads were thick, with nothing on them.
Just an ordinary cat or dog paw.
—This certainly isn’t as tasty as pig’s trotters!
He secretly swallowed his saliva, looked up at the cats and dogs and the bronze man, and found that they were also looking at him.
There was a newly emerging expression of wariness on the faces of the cats, dogs, and the bronze man.
“Ah, this, it’s nothing, I’m just telling its fortune.”
Shen Ye said vaguely.
—How embarrassing.
“Fate Divination” seemed to be more advanced than fortune-telling.
It wasn’t what he thought at all.
Shen Ye looked sullen, just about to put down the cat and dog’s paw, when a sudden change occurred—
Suddenly, several long, brilliantly glowing curves appeared on the paw pad.
They were curves!
No—
It should be said, these were lines of fate!
“…Can you see these lights and lines?”
Shen Ye asked, pointing at the paw.
The cats, dogs, and the bronze man looked at each other and shook their heads blankly.
Shen Ye slapped his forehead.
“Fate Divination” really was fortune-telling!
What the hell.
This was way too down-to-earth.
—Fate Divination, in the form of fortune-telling, outlines the development curve of truth creations!
Shen Ye looked at the paw with extreme speechlessness.
Rows of faintly glowing small characters appeared in the void next to the cat and dog’s paw:
“The current ‘Fate Divination’ has been adapted to you, creating the most suitable growth method for your Fate Divination.”
“Upon the hand (paw) you gaze upon, Fate Divination has condensed three growth lines for you to choose from for your subordinate:”
“1. Serious Combat Path:”
“Description: Gain transformation abilities at the fastest speed, transforming into a stronger existence with each level, progressively enhancing combat power and treasure detection capabilities;”
“2. Narrative Growth Path:”
“Description: The growth of cats and dogs is accompanied by various fortuitous encounters, often at critical moments, there will be completely unexpected encounters, the growth path is unpredictable, it may be stronger than the serious combat path, or it may be weaker;”
“3. Humorous Path:”
“Description: Oh my god!”
Shen Ye was silent for a moment.
Truth.
The White Night Spirit King’s truth ability was “Disorder.”
It sounded so grand.
—His own truth ability was “fortune-telling”?
Thinking carefully, it didn’t seem to be the case.
For example—
At this moment, he could decide the future fate of the truth creation “Cat and Dog”!
Shen Ye’s mind stirred.
The faint glow of tiny characters immediately appeared:
“You have chosen the ‘Humorous Path’ for your truth creation.”
“In order to cope with the upcoming Rite of Devouring, the current truth creation ‘Cat and Dog’ is beginning to advance to the Third Truth (temporarily possessed)!”
The cats and dogs lay on the ground, falling into a deep sleep.
Shen Ye then turned his gaze to the bronze man.
The bronze man looked at the cats and dogs, his eyes shining, and directly held out his palm in front of Shen Ye.
—I want to evolve too!
Shen Ye pressed his palm down, scanning it a few times.
In an instant.
Three lines of brilliant light also appeared on the bronze man’s hand:
“Upon the hand (steel type) you gaze upon, Fate Divination has condensed three growth lines for you to choose from for your subordinate:”
“1. Iron Man:”
“Description: When directly confronting any enemy, the strength displayed will multiply;”
“2. Transformer:”
“Description: Can transform into various technological creations, elevating their attack and defense to the truth level;”
“3. Precious Metals:”
“Description: The strongest path, but you need a large amount of resources and strong financial support to sustain its combat, as every second of its combat will release powerful special effects, burning through funds constantly;”
Is there even a question?
In the face of a life-and-death battle, money is a small matter!
But “burning through funds” is a phrase from his own world, isn’t it?
Perhaps, just as the initial prompt said—
“The current ‘Fate Divination’ has been adapted to you, creating the most suitable growth method for your Fate Divination.”
This was the power he wielded, naturally derived from his own experience and knowledge.
—This was different from everyone else!
Shen Ye unhesitatingly chose the “Precious Metals” path for the bronze man.
The bronze man immediately sensed it.
He stood still, but a series of dense mechanical whirring sounds radiated from within his body, growing increasingly rapid.
A line of faintly glowing small characters jumped out:
“In order to cope with the upcoming Rite of Devouring, the current truth creation ‘Bronze Man’ is beginning to advance to the Third Truth (temporarily possessed)!”
Shen Ye was somewhat invigorated.
The advancement of the cats, dogs, and the bronze man was very much anticipated.
Then.
He could still let other truth creations advance!
In order to meet the upcoming Triple Truth Battle, he must upgrade all truth creations that could be upgraded.
For example—
He looked down at the wooden floor.
A line of faintly glowing small characters quickly appeared:
“The wooden floor belongs to the ‘Little Western Heaven’ decoration, already installed within ‘Little Western Heaven’, with clear and definite functions, and cannot be upgraded further.”
Alright.
I’ll look at something else.
Shen Ye, unwilling to give up, went to look at the set of “Broken Truth” suit armor.
He stepped forward and grabbed the gauntlet of the armor, immediately seeing three lines of brilliant light:
“1. Repair path:”
“Description: As repairs proceed, the armor’s inherent power will gradually strengthen;”
“2. Suit path:”
“Description: As the truth level of the item continues to increase, new set effects will constantly appear;”
“3. Tower Defense Path:”
“Description: You know what I mean.”
Shen Ye’s heart skipped a beat.
Whether it was the cats and dogs, the bronze man, or the “Broken Truth” suit—
Indeed, they all generated corresponding paths of destiny according to his knowledge and will!
This worked very well!
Although he wasn’t familiar with the truth level three creation war, he understood “humor,” “burning through funds,” and “tower defense” very well.
…Why was he suddenly feeling a little confident?
Now.
Only one last thing remained.
Shen Ye walked out of the hut, stood at the doorway, and placed his hand on the door.
—On the main gate of Little Western Heaven, three long lines radiating brilliant light also appeared!
Yes.
This building, created by his door ability, was his most fundamental truth creation!
If it was a battle of the Triple Truth—
It also needed to advance in rank.
Just like the Bloodfen Swamp of the White Night Spirit King’s shadow.
—The Bloodfen Swamp, when upgraded to the Triple Truth, became a “Bloodfen War Fortress”!
He waited for a breath.
In the void next to the gate, rows of faintly glowing small characters appeared:
“In order to cope with the upcoming Rite of Devouring, the current truth creation ‘Little Western Heaven’ is beginning to advance to the Third Truth (temporarily possessed).”
“Available advanced paths are as follows:”
“1. Main City type:”
“Description: A safe zone with various functions, adding various auxiliary effects for you and your subordinates, as well as various weapons, armor, mounts, etc.;”
“2. Fortress type:”
“Description: Continuously produce various war-type truth creations, with large-scale warfare as the core goal for building the entire fortress;”
“3. Abyss type:”
“Description: An advanced path born from your knowledge and wisdom, including a series of concepts such as tunnel warfare, tower defense, and dungeons.”
Does it even need mentioning?
“I choose the ‘Abyss type’.”
Shen Ye said.
As soon as he finished speaking.
Rumble—
The ground vibrated non-stop.
Little Western Heaven slowly sank underground, the ground along the way transforming into layers of underground passages, connecting to underground mines and various strange scenes.
Finally.
Little Western Heaven disappeared deep underground.
Only Shen Ye remained suspended in mid-air, constantly sensing the changes in Little Western Heaven.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
Su Rong’s voice quietly sounded: “Quite strange, I’ve never seen this mode of truth creation advancement.”
“—Do you yourself have confidence in this decisive battle?”
Shen Ye’s mouth curved slightly, and he whispered, “To be honest, I haven’t played this kind of battle in a long time—”
“But I really want to fight a good one!”
“It’s about to begin,” Su Rong’s tone turned solemn. “Success or failure hinges on this. You must win back my head. With it, I can be resurrected in the Primordial Ruins and guide the multi-layered universe to the Sixth Epoch.”
“Alright, I’ll do my best,” Shen Ye said.
As soon as the words left his lips.
Two lines of faintly glowing small characters appeared:
“In this Rite of Devouring, both combatants are ready.”
“Begin!”
The White Night Spirit King’s voice came from afar:
“Mortal, you should feel honored. You would normally not even be worthy of hearing my name.”
“Now I will tear you and the multi-layered universe behind you to shreds.”
“Starting right now!”
The steel gate of the Bloodfen War Fortress slowly rose.
Two teams of Blood Knights, fully armed, wearing neat and uniform blood-red armor, holding bone blade spears, spurred their fiery warhorses, and charged directly towards Shen Ye.
Previously, even with the cats, dogs, and the bronze man combined, they couldn’t defeat a single Blood Knight.
—Now there are two teams!
And their strength is far from as simple as it was at the first level of truth!
Shen Ye’s figure flickered, disappearing underground.
He entered the Triple Truth “Little Western Heaven”, strode to the dilapidated truth suit armor, placed his hand on it, and growled:
“Deploy tower defense tools!”
“Cats and dogs, focus on being humorous; bronze man, prepare for battle!”
At the same moment.
The Blood Knights arrived at the entrance of the dungeon.
It was a long, sloping path leading downwards.
At the end of the slope was a fog-shrouded tunnel, leading to who knows where.
A Blood Knight thrust his spear forcefully—
The spear penetrated several inches into the ground, then stopped.
A line of faintly glowing small characters popped out:
“Truth Mine, where endless truth power gathers and is buried, cannot be completely destroyed by a Triple Truth attack.”
The Blood Knight’s probing yielded no results. He withdrew his spear and pointed it down the slope.
The knight squad immediately spurred their horses forward.
As soon as they entered the mist, they immediately fell into a deep pit.
The pit was filled with dense, sharp spikes.
—A subterranean trap generated by the dilapidated truth suit!
The Blood Knights painstakingly climbed out of the trap.
Thanks to their armor and powerful abilities, they managed to survive.
Keep moving forward!
A subterranean river appeared ahead.
The knights spurred their horses forward, galloping across the river.
Rumble—
A giant stone ball quickly rolled from the other side of the river, filling the entire underground passage.
The knights had nowhere to hide and were struck down.
They landed precisely in the previous trap, and were repeatedly impaled by the sharp spikes.
The gigantic stone ball—
“The Crushing Sphere of Truth” rolled down with a roar, pressing the knights tightly.
They didn’t even have a chance to dodge.
The White Night Spirit King’s lazy voice sounded:
“Sacrifice them all, awaken the slumbering Blood General.”
Dong dong dong dong dong—
A dense series of explosive sounds came from beneath the trap.
Glowing blood-red orbs flew back and landed within the Bloodfen War Fortress.
The next second.
Blood mist permeated the war fortress.
A figure emerged from the blood mist.
He wore even heavier and more exquisite blood-red armor, rode a skeletal warhorse exuding an aura of undead fire, and wielded a blood-red greatsword.
The Blood General!
This was a high-level humanoid creation at the peak of the Triple Truth realm.
“Ridiculous coward, watch me demolish your underground palace.”
The Blood General uttered in a deep, hoarse voice.
On the other side.
Shen Ye’s expression sharpened.
“So strong… this guy is shrouded in a layer of truth mist; he must have powerful passive skills.”
“Mere traps won’t be enough to defend against him.”
“Then—”
He strode in front of the bronze man, and forcefully slapped its chest.
Clatter, clatter, clatter—
The sound of metal coins rubbing against each other echoed in the void.
Faint glow appeared as tiny characters:
“This sortie, the Primordial Ruins pays 60% of the cost, you pay 40% of the cost.”
“You spent 100,000 bronze coins, beginning to pay for the bronze man’s special effects.”
The small print disappeared.
The bronze man’s eyes lit up.
Boom—
Its entire body began to emit visible and invisible blue lightning.
“Attack,” Shen Ye said.
The bronze man stepped into the void and disappeared.
It appeared directly on the road between the Bloodfen Fortress and Little Western Heaven.
Blocking the Blood General perfectly.
“Just you?”
The Blood General said disdainfully. The blood mist swirling around it dispersed with a bang, transforming into a giant hand that clawed fiercely at the bronze man.
Www◆тt kΛn◆CΟ
The bronze man stood still, its entire body radiating blue lightning that shot straight up into the sky, meeting the bloody giant hand.
Shen Ye, who was observing the battle, suddenly flinched.
Something was wrong!
The blue lightning, upon touching the bloody giant hand, immediately scattered, completely unable to resist.
“Double it—super double!”
Shen Ye uttered a low cry, and touched the storage ring on his hand.
It contained all the resources of the entire ancient Penglai Immortal Mountain!
A line of faintly glowing small characters popped out:
“Current expenditure: ten tons of gold.”
“Special effects doubled!”
Boom—
The scattered blue lightning in the sky re-converged, forming a blue giant hand, which collided with the bloody giant hand.
They clashed constantly in mid-air, exchanging dozens of blows, with neither gaining the upper hand.
The Blood General glanced at it, and said indifferently:
“Oh—so you have a little bit of power, but it’s far from enough to survive against me.”
“Mining scum, in the face of my ‘Disorder’ truth, you can only be scattered into trash again.”
It drew the greatsword from its back, spurred its skeletal warhorse, and charged towards the bronze man.
Upon hearing this, Shen Ye was utterly enraged.
“A mere truth creation dares to look down on people like this—”
“I paid money for this!”
He furiously rubbed the ring on his hand.
Immediately, lines of faint glowing small characters popped out:
“You have once again paid gold, a total of three thousand tons.”
“This battle’s special effects are maxed out!”
“—Burn, budget!”
In the arena.
The bronze man immediately sensed it.
Its entire body shook, and all the bronze plates that had been affixed to its surface flew off, emitting a series of “clinking, clanking” sounds in mid-air, rapidly transforming into various armor components.
The bronze plates were no longer mere bronze plates!
They were a bronze helmet, faceplate, pauldrons, gauntlets, breastplate, waist belt, greaves, boots, and—
A massive greatsword, ancient and imposing!
An invisible wave emanated from the bronze man.
It let out a metallic roar that echoed across the sky and charged towards the Blood General!
In a flash of lightning—
Shen Ye roared:
“It’s not enough!”
“Burn another five hundred tons of gold to add combat effects to that greatsword!”
Boom—
Molten lava and intertwining lightning snakes instantly leaped and crisscrossed along the several-meter-long greatsword.
A line of faintly glowing small characters immediately popped out:
“This special effect is super doubled!”
The next moment.
The two sides clashed.
“Ah ah ah ah ah ah, die for me!”
The bronze man, sensing its master’s anger, immediately erupted with a cold and frantic metallic roar.
Blood light and lightning collided.
The lightning instantly pierced through the crimson blood light, slashing straight out and leaving a deep mark on the gate of the Bloodfen War Fortress.
All special effects receded.
The Blood General and the bronze man, having crossed paths, stood motionless.
The next second.
Thump.
The Blood General knelt on both knees, its body cleaved in two from left shoulder to right hip by a bolt of lightning.
“Damn it…”
It wasn’t dead yet, gasping for breath, it tried to grab the broken blood-red greatsword.
But the bronze man, dragging its long blade, turned and strode in front of it, tearing off its head with a single motion, and holding it aloft, it grinned menacingly:
“Tell me, who’s the trash now?”
