Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 460

One by one, spheres of light flew out from Shen Ye.

Under the gaze of the twin-horned skeleton, they represented the genders that had once appeared in human civilization.

These recognized genders were like soap bubbles rising into the air—

Flying upwards.

Breaking one by one.

No gender could persist in the judgment.

—It turned out that this truth judgment was using the method of elimination, forcibly annihilating targets under each gender!

In this way, Shen Ye had nowhere to hide.

“This is a compulsory judgment of the eighth level of truth, even if you hide behind countless genders, you will eventually be locked onto and completely annihilated.”

Lu Shen said indifferently, looking at Shen Ye as if he were looking at a dead man.

Shen Ye felt a slight tension.

—Baiye Lingwang’s “Element Annihilation” was an eighth-level truth eye technique.

No wonder it was so overbearing.

However—

He also possessed the seventh-level truth skill, “Fearless Giant’s Pact”:

Changing BGM.

Coupled with the temporary blessing of the Battle Dance Diva, it could elevate the changing BGM to the eighth realm of truth.

This gave him a glimmer of hope for survival.

But this also created a situation—

He had to constantly change his attire to block the opponent’s eye technique.

In this way, he would be unable to participate in the battle.

Even if the Death Planet could win in the end, the entire war would be incredibly brutal.

Countless people would die.

Was there any way—

Other than changing the BGM, any other way to change the entire situation?

Heaven-reaching Technique.

But he had only mastered the elementary Heaven-reaching Technique.

He could only temporarily change a certain state.

Wait!

Shen Ye’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Just then, no more spheres of light emerged from his body.

Lines of faint text appeared:

“All gender cognitions born in the long river of human civilization have been eliminated, leaving only the gender you belong to.”

“Currently, no gender cognition can shield you.”

“Thus, your gender is determined as:”

“Human boy.”

“Annihilate!”

The twin-horned skeleton in mid-air gazed at Shen Ye and released two gray beams of light, striking directly at him.

However, Shen Ye remained unharmed.

In mid-air.

The professionals erupted in an uproar.

This scene had never appeared amidst countless invasions and destructions.

“Impossible! This judgment is suppressive, you absolutely cannot evade it!”

Lu Shen exclaimed.

“I didn’t intend to resist it, it’s just that I wasn’t a human boy just now,” Shen Ye said calmly.

The combat prompt that had appeared a moment ago still floated in mid-air:

“You activated elementary Heaven-reaching Technique.”

“You temporarily changed your state (at the moment of judgment).”

“Changed personal status from ‘seventeen-year-old male (boy)’ to ‘fertilized egg (unborn)’.”

“Current gender cannot be determined.”

“Reason: You have not entered civilization, nor have you developed consciousness, so before you make any decisions regarding gender, you are genderless.”

“Judgment invalid!”

In the sky.

The professionals from Baiye Mogahou looked at each other in dismay.

—This person isn’t dead?

They couldn’t understand how he evaded annihilation.

This led to the current scene—

No one dared to step forward and fight Shen Ye.

“Hahahaha.”

Song Yinchen, hiding behind Shen Ye, couldn’t help but laugh.

Just now, Shen Ye rushed forward to block this attack for her. She was both sweet and nervous, and only at this moment did she laugh heartily:

“Your master’s technique couldn’t kill Brother Shen Ye, now you’re all scared, aren’t you?”

Lu Shen coldly pressed his hand into the void and said,

“That was just an accident. From now on, you and your planet will be destroyed today.”

Light spread from his hand, forming a golden scarab in the void.

“Spiritual familiar?” Shen Ye asked.

“It comes from my homeland, the ultimate power of our era, once invincible,” Lu Shen said.

“Invincible? Your era and universe were destroyed by Baiye Lingwang,” Shen Ye replied.

Lu Shen’s smug expression froze.

“There’s nothing to be done about it. Who told us we were weaker than our master? If you mix emotions into matters of destiny like this, I can only say you’re still too naive,” Lu Shen said.

The golden scarab flew onto him, making a buzzing sound:

“What’s there to say to these ignorant primitives? Kill him!”

“Alright,” Lu Shen responded.

In an instant.

The golden scarab and Lu Shen merged into one.

—They actually fused!

A humanoid figure dragging a carapaced body appeared opposite Shen Ye.

“Looking at me like that, you must have never seen a true Spiritual Familiar war—have you?”

The golden scarab man spoke.

“Indeed, I haven’t,” Shen Ye admitted.

The multi-layered universe inherently lacked in something, yet it insisted on transcending the Fifth Reckoning and developing the door abilities of the Sixth Reckoning, causing many powers to exist in name only.

—He truly didn’t know what a Spiritual Familiar war was.

Lu Shen showed a reminiscent expression and said,

“Looking at you, I feel like I’m seeing my younger self.”

“To be precise, I only saw one more thing than you, and everything became completely different.”

“What did you see?” Shen Ye asked.

“Destiny,” Lu Shen said.

“You can still see destiny?”

Shen Ye asked curiously.

—Could his guide also be a fortune teller?

It shouldn’t be.

Didn’t they say that fortune tellers were appearing for the first time?

Lu Shen didn’t know what he was thinking and continued along the topic:

“The first time I met Baiye Lingwang, I knew what my destiny would be.”

“Child, believe me, it’s not too late to surrender now.”

“This is for your own good.”

“—You have a great future, and you can become one of us.”

Lu Shen finished speaking in one breath.

The professionals of the Death Planet watched this scene in silence.

Although many still weren’t clear about Shen Ye’s strength.

But he was, after all, Xu Xingke’s student.

—He was qualified to represent the strongest group of people in this world.

Under the gaze of all.

Shen Ye suddenly felt something amiss.

The surrounding scenery became blurred.

In its place was a vast, boundless ocean.

A rusted giant ship floated on the sea.

He was standing on the deck of the giant ship.

Lu Shen stood on the opposite side.

Several unfamiliar professionals gathered around, all looking at Shen Ye.

“Welcome, young man.”

Lu Shen said.

“Where is this?” Shen Ye asked.

“A secret true creation—called the ‘Lost Soul Cruise Ship’, no one knows its exact location except us,” Lu Shen said.

“Why have you brought me here?” Shen Ye asked.

“Welcome to a world of storms, where in this magnificent sea of truth, we are all ants on a driftwood.”

Lu Shen spread his hands and continued:

“I will continue to live, for Baiye Lingwang protects me.”

“And you are about to be submerged by truth.”

“But at this moment, I decide to save you—”

“This is our secret base, and the professionals you see here are all human masters who have dedicated themselves to various ultimate truth creations.”

“Here, we exchange resources and help each other, so that life can continue.”

“Now, I welcome you to join us.”

Lu Shen finished speaking in one breath.

Shen Ye listened quietly, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.

“You said earlier—you saw destiny.”

He spoke.

Lu Shen said, “I joined the sect at the age of seven, comprehended the sect’s supreme cultivation method at eleven, and traveled the world at seventeen. For eleven years, I met countless heroes and prominent figures, yet no one was my match.”

“At that time, how proud I was, once thinking that there was no one in heaven or on earth who could contend with me.”

“Until I first fought with Baiye Lingwang.”

“I finally saw my own destiny—”

“The multi-layered universe is simply no match for those ultimate truth creations. Instead of dying in vain, it’s better to find a way to survive.”

“As you can see, my universe has perished, but I am still alive.”

“May I ask, to which era has your multi-layered universe developed?” Shen Ye asked.

“Fifth Reckoning,” Lu Shen said.

Shen Ye nodded.

This person had only experienced the power of the Fifth Reckoning.

And he had already helped two multi-layered universes merge, about to usher in the Sixth Reckoning.

So much hardship and effort.

Should he surrender?

No.

—If he didn’t fight, how could he be content?

Who says we must become slaves to other truth creations?

“Child, join my world, and I will protect you,” Lu Shen said.

“And the price, Gul’dan?” Shen Ye asked.

“Gul’dan? Anyway, child, you don’t have to pay any price. Just team up with us and keep warm,” Lu Shen said seriously.

“Really? I don’t believe it. Besides,” Shen Ye shook his head, “you haven’t seen destiny.”

Lu Shen’s face showed a puzzled expression.

Shen Ye, however, walked to the edge of the deck, gazing at the sea from thin air, a relaxed expression on his face.

Compared to the previous conversation, the sea of truth interested him more.

Compared to the truth ore mine—

What would appear here?

“Tell me your decision, child.” Lu Shen said.

Shen Ye’s voice carried on the sea breeze:

“You said you saw destiny, but you didn’t.”

“You only saw your own cowardice and fear—when you look at them, you lose the right to glimpse the direction of destiny.”

Lu Shen sighed, a hint of understanding in his expression:

“Foolish young man, do you really think there’s any benefit to being reckless?”

“Or do you really want to die by my hand?”

Shen Ye was still gazing at the vast ocean.

A few moments later.

Lu Shen and several professionals finally heard his next sentence:

“A thousand gold coins can’t buy my happiness.”

“Anyone who wants to destroy my world must be prepared to be killed by me.”

“—Everything I decide has nothing to do with whether ‘Baiye Lingwang’ is strong or not; this is my choice for my own destiny.”

This kid clearly stated he didn’t want to join!

Lu Shen’s expression turned cold.

He had intended to disintegrate the morale of this world without bloodshed.

But the other party was not intimidated by Baiye Lingwang’s name, and instead mocked him.

So the punishment he would receive was—

“I only need one move to completely destroy your world.”

He formed a hand seal.

At the same time, Shen Ye had already stepped through the Heaven-Reaching Door and returned to the Death Planet.

Rumble—

Scarabs, like mountains and seas, swept down from the sky.

They were like a magnificent, world-ending flood, about to engulf and destroy everything on this planet.

The opponent seemed very angry.

Shen Ye raised an eyebrow.

His spiritual familiars were the Great Skeleton and Norton.

—The Great Skeleton’s strongest point was single-target damage; it had to get close to the opponent and then perish together.

Norton could, however, fight an all-out war.

But the human forces couldn’t cope with this planet-wide swarm of scarabs!

While he was hesitating, Norton’s voice quietly rang out:

“Signing a spiritual familiar contract with me is signing a contract with my allied forces.”

“This is the Four Gods Contract my mother just completed!”

“Summon him, Shen Ye—”

“There is a spiritual familiar who can handle this situation!”

Shen Ye naturally trusted him, and given the current situation, there was no more time for delay.

He pressed his hand into the void and shouted,

“Norton!”

Norton leaped directly from the void, also pressed his hand into the void, and roared,

“According to the Four Gods Contract originally signed, summon a spiritual familiar companion—”

“Earth Emissary, Carrula!”

Bang.

A soft sound.

The centaur girl suddenly appeared in the sky.

This was the demigod who had met Shen Ye in the orc territory, and also a high-level combat force in the Nightmare World.

With the completion of the Fifth Reckoning’s power and the unfolding of the Sixth Reckoning, not only did the manifestations begin to evolve towards true creations, but the spiritual familiars also finally gained “normal” combat prowess.

“Scarab beetles? The power of the earth can seal all scarab beetles, this is a natural counter.”

Carrula held up the laurel branch in her hand.

Boom—

A towering mountain rose from the earth.

No, rather than a towering mountain, it was an endless plateau.

This plateau floated in mid-air.

The entire death world was protected by this floating plateau, and no external enemy could easily pass through.

Just then, dense swarms of scarabs arrived.

They landed on the plateau formed by the earth magic and, just as they were about to devour everything, suddenly sank into the ground like quicksand, disappearing without a trace.

The entire plateau was like a gigantic monster, silently devouring all the scarabs!

Shen Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

He wasn’t afraid of this particular move.

But no matter how good a fighter he was, he wasn’t adept at defending against such a large-scale attack.

Not to mention that the target of this attack wasn’t himself, but the entire planet.

At the same time.

In the sky.

The invading Baiye Annihilators engaged in battle with the experts of the Death Planet.

Song Yinchen had originally intended to fight alongside Shen Ye.

But she saw an enemy in the nearby void secretly casting a spell, attempting to ambush Shen Ye.

“Despicable fellow!”

Song Yinchen rushed over, lashing her whip.

Another invader stood in the clouds high above, constantly forming hand seals.

A powerful aura gathered on him.

Suddenly a voice rang out:

“Such violent magical fluctuations, I guess you want to destroy this world, but—”

“You haven’t asked for my opinion yet.”

The invader’s hand paused, and he looked back.

The Nangong Family Head stood not far away, wearing a Yaksha mask on his face, slowly opening the bamboo fan in his hand.

“Trash… dared to come here seeking death?” the invader said.

“Trash? Our family, too, once escaped from countless monstrous encirclements and finally found a place to settle down—but you are their slaves!” The Nangong Family Head was displeased.

In the sky.

The strong individuals from other influential families and organizations also took action, intercepting the invaders’ attacks.

“It seems I still have to kill you first.”

Lu Shen’s voice rang out.

He clapped his hands together, and the scarab spiritual familiar vanished into nothingness.

But soon, another spiritual familiar descended from the sky, merging with him and transforming into a frost-covered wilderness hunter—

“Frost Wraith Dragon!”

As soon as this ice dragon appeared, it instantly transformed into a stream of light and charged directly towards Shen Ye.

“Failun,” Shen Ye called out.

Bang.

The Great Skeleton, biting the divine artifact-grade dagger “Soul Stealer” in its mouth, leaped out from the void and shot into the sky, meeting the murderous ice dragon.

“An ant-like undead? You actually use this kind of spiritual familiar to fight. I’ve overestimated you.”

The ice dragon contemptuously exhaled a breath of cold dragon’s breath.

Unexpectedly, the Great Skeleton didn’t dodge or evade, increasing its speed and charging into the dragon’s breath—

It pierced through the dragon’s breath, and at the instant its entire body was frozen solid, it plunged the dagger into the ice dragon’s mouth.

Soul Stealer, one hit, guaranteed death.

An earth-shattering dragon roar echoed.

The ice dragon’s body disintegrated, and the spiritual familiar let out a shriek, vanishing into the void.

Only Lu Shen covered his mouth, muttering quickly:

“Come, my comrades!”

In the void, another spiritual familiar quietly appeared, merging with him.

This spiritual familiar seemed to possess the power to heal and lift curses.

With a short and quick incantation, Lu Shen’s wounds healed in an instant.

“How many spiritual familiars do you have?”

Shen Ye asked, a little annoyed.

“I am the strongest of my era, so there are many powerful spiritual familiars willing to follow me.” Lu Shen casually unleashed a series of spells, blasting them towards Shen Ye.

Taking this opportunity, he began to switch his combat spiritual familiar.

On Shen Ye’s side.

Norton stepped forward, drew a heavy golden tower shield, and blocked the spells.

Carrula, however, placed a hand on Shen Ye’s shoulder and whispered,

“This guy may have many spiritual familiars, but none compare to yours, don’t worry.”

“Why?” Shen Ye asked.

“Because you have completed the power of the multi-layered universe, its evolution strengthens us as well!”

Carrula finished speaking, then chanted “Summon Ally.”

Bang—

The void flashed.

A male elf with long golden hair appeared before Shen Ye.

Shen Ye glanced at him, and couldn’t help but exclaim:

“Elf High Priest?”

The elven man smiled faintly and said, “For spiritual familiar battles, just call me.”

Above his head, the long description still floated:

“Spirit of the Myriad Woods, Heir to the Ancient Tree Throne, Natural Law Lord who faces a myriad alone, Archmage of Mystic Arts, Guardian of the Nightmare Realm, Head of the World’s Five.”

—He was the strongest being in the Nightmare World!

At the same time.

Lines of faint text appeared before Shen Ye’s eyes:

“Your actions have caused the Nightmare World to begin a collective evolution, affecting all Nightmare Spiritual Familiars, and their strength is steadily increasing.”

“The Nether Lord Mictlantecuhtli, using Failun as the contract point, compiled the Four Gods Contract.”

“This contract is universally recognized by the Nightmare World’s Spiritual Familiars.”

“When you require spiritual familiar support in battle, the Nightmare World’s Spiritual Familiars will, based on Failun’s contract with you, answer your call and fight alongside you.”

“—Paige, well done.”

Shen Ye quickly read through it, a sense of relief welling up in his heart.

The spiritual familiars were willing to fight alongside him!

After so long, after all he had done, struggling and fighting, it had finally not been in vain!

Opposite him.

Lu Shen had already fused with a new spiritual familiar, transforming into a towering flame giant several tens of meters tall.

Amidst the endless flames, it issued a magnificent declaration:

“The power to destroy everything has been unleashed by me! Your planet’s core will be destroyed, the earth swallowed by magma, all life will wither, and all existence will perish!”

The demigod Carrula had already sensed it, and immediately pressed her hand into the void.

The trembling of the earth immediately ceased.

“I’ll defend, you attack.”

Carrula said.

The Elf High Priest understood, formed a hand seal, and shouted:

“Wrath of the Nature Goddess.”

In the sky, billions of bolts of lightning suddenly appeared, arriving from all directions, striking the flame giant.

The impenetrable bombardment echoed through the clouds.

The lightning strikes were ceaseless, more dense than machine gun fire.

The flame giant was so battered it could barely move.

What an opportunity!

Shen Ye drew his Spring Rain Blade, and behind him, the scenes of hell emerged.

He flickered, disappearing from his spot, and appeared directly behind the flame giant.

—Strike him while he’s down, finish him off!

Blade Art: Interminable!

The blade’s edge carried the roar of wind and thunder, and it fiercely slashed downwards at the flame giant’s neck.

Swish—

The enormous, scorching head of the giant, as large as a millstone, flew off its body.

Magma-like blood gushed out.

In an instant.

Something unusual happened.

The endless blood transformed into runes emitting red light in mid-air, forming a new spiritual altar.

Lines of faint text also appeared before Shen Ye’s eyes:

“The opponent carries a secret curse.”

“The moment he dies, the curse officially activates, and it does not fear your observation, its secret manifesting as:”

“Call of the Lingwang.”

“Curse.”

“Description: Once you kill someone afflicted by this curse, you must take their place, undertake all their contracts, and continue to serve Baiye Lingwang.”

“—There is almost no way to remove this curse.”

“—Unless you can always win in the Curse War.”

In mid-air.

A burst of wild laughter erupted.

Shen Ye looked up and saw the flame giant’s head laughing.

—Lu Shen.

“This curse unleashed many battles, I fought for a while, but was defeated.”

“It simply cannot be broken!”

“For countless years, it has tightly bound me, forcing me to serve that monster.”

“If I am killed by a comrade, my comrade will suffer the same fate!”

“This is not my fault!”

Lu Shen roared loudly.

“Then you can commit suicide,” Shen Ye said calmly.

Lu Shen paused.

“If you kill yourself, wouldn’t the curse be broken?” Shen Ye added, twisting the knife.

“Why should I die? I didn’t do anything wrong—why should I?” Lu Shen said unwillingly.

He suddenly realized.

“Now you’re the one cursed, hahaha, you stubborn fellow, come on, kill yourself!”

Lu Shen burst into a fit of insane laughter.

Shen Ye, however, stood quietly in mid-air, holding the Spring Rain Blade, and casually said:

“I’d like to see what kind of curse war this is.”

“It’s useless!” Lu Shen said proudly, “Our human truth guides are nothing more than tricksters, huntresses, destruction cultists, kings, and hermits.”

“My guide was the ‘Destruction Cultist,’ the strongest in combat, but still failed.”

“—At the level of truth, we humans are fundamentally unable to fight against Baiye Lingwang, who possesses the truth of ‘Disorder’.”

“Its curse, we cannot break!”

Pfft.

The long blade pierced through the head of the flaming giant, silencing Lu Shen for good.

The blade flashed.

A rain of fire scattered across the sky.

Shen Ye sheathed his blade, quietly awaiting the curse’s outbreak.

—Who says my truth guide is one of those?

The Destiny Oracle has never appeared.

This time, he would face the power of ‘Disorder’ and see whose truth was stronger!
