Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 477
by“Su Rong.”
“…Su Rong?”
In the darkness, there was no response.
Shen Ye was secretly surprised.
That’s not right.
There should at least be a response.
Could something have happened to the Death Star?
“Summon—Chatelet.”
No movement.
As a Gatekeeper, this time he failed to summon successfully.
“Norton!”
Boom!
Norton, wearing a crown, suddenly appeared.
“What’s wrong? Do you need to deploy troops or something else?”
Norton asked.
Shen Ye’s unease grew even stronger.
“Wait a moment—summon Xiao Mengyu.”
No movement.
“Song Yinchen!”
Still no movement.
“Norton, do you know what happened to the Death Star?” Shen Ye asked.
“No, no news,” Norton replied.
Shen Ye’s heart trembled.
Something was wrong!
No.
He had to go back and check.
“Gate.”
He sent Norton back to the Nightmare World, then immediately let out a low cry.
However—
The gate did not appear.
Tiny glowing words quickly appeared in Shen Ye’s vision:
“The current conflict is intensifying, and the entire ship is suppressed by a powerful True Reason field.”
“Your Gate ability has been suppressed!”
Shen Ye opened his eyes, stood up abruptly, and became even more anxious.
He looked up at the sky.
Deep in the sky.
Several strong True Reason fluctuations were almost materializing, and even the naked eye could see the surging waves.
Valkyrie and Finisher Lord had stopped fighting.
—The Apocalypse, affected by those fluctuations, no longer poured down fire and meteorites.
The Apocalypse, touted as the twenty-first trial, had actually stopped!
“Their battle is suppressing this layer; nothing can be used now.”
Valkyrie said.
Shen Ye remained silent, but his mind was in turmoil.
The battle between the True Reason Tier Seventeen big shots, the Ship of Chaos, and the eight White Night Spirit Kings had reached its most intense moment.
The power emanating from their battle had actually suppressed the trial of this layer.
Even he couldn’t open the passage between the two worlds and return to the Death Star!
No.
The Death Star was what he truly cared about.
He had to find a way to go back.
What method could he use…
“Hey!”
Shen Ye shouted loudly at the sky:
“You must be able to hear my voice, after all, this is your ship!”
“Lift the suppression on me!”
“I promise to take my people and leave immediately, and never come back!”
His voice echoed in the sky, but there was no response.
Shen Ye took a deep breath and shouted:
“I have no interest in your conflict, let me go! We can mind our own business!”
Deep in the sky.
That cold, emotionless voice finally sounded:
“Who do you think you are?”
“—Just stay put. It won’t be long before I can deal with them, and then I’ll deal with you and these ants.”
This was the reply from the Ship of Chaos!
It was confident it could deal with the eight White Night Spirit Kings and a True Reason Tier Seventeen big shot, and still have enough power to handle everything on the ship!
Such a declaration was enough to prove how powerful it was.
Valkyrie’s face turned pale; she barely managed to stand firm.
Finisher Lord also clenched her knuckles, a hint of despair flashing in her eyes.
As strong individuals among humans, both could hear the underlying meaning in the other party’s words—
It was firmly in control of the situation.
—It would not let a single person here escape!
Shen Ye was stunned and remained in a daze for a while.
The confidence and aura in the other party’s words were too easy to discern.
But—
I need to go back!
No matter what, you can’t stop me from going back!
…I need a solution.
At least a way to change the other party’s attitude.
Shen Ye took a step, passing through the bionic “Vampire Old Men.”
His hand continuously patted the bionic bodies.
Each bionic body, under his patting, scattered into flashing light clusters.
The light clusters grew more numerous.
Then, faint words appeared:
“You activated ‘Vampire Old Man,’ activating the first power, forcibly extracting the elements contained in your bionic creations, and integrating them all.”
“Congratulations.”
“You have fused all the bionic bodies and caused a super evolution.”
“Currently obtained fused product:”
“Vampire Progenitor.”
“True Reason Tier Seven Bionic Body.”
“Description: This is a—”
Before the faint words could fully display, they were suddenly dispersed by an invisible force.
—True Reason Suppression!
Not only were the words dispersed, but the light clusters that were merging also scattered like fireworks, ceasing to exist.
The voice in the sky sounded again:
“Do you see? Under the suppression of my power, you can do nothing.”
Shen Ye didn’t speak, but looked down at himself, turned around, touched his arms, legs, waist, and hips, then breathed a sigh of relief:
“—The original twenty-one layers of trials being forcibly compressed into three layers is already your limit, and I don’t want you at all, so you can’t kill me directly, can you?”
“When I deal with them, it will be your day of reckoning,” the Ship of Chaos said coldly.
Day of reckoning—
Shen Ye’s gaze deepened.
“The True Reason power here is too strong; nothing can be done. You need to find another way, or I will become your accomplice in death.”
Finisher Lord of All Eras couldn’t help but remind him loudly.
Shen Ye stood still.
He was like a robot that had lost power, maintaining a completely still posture.
After a few breaths.
He suddenly spoke again: “This isn’t right! I can still use ‘Gate Protection’ to summon the spirit arts from the nightmare world!”
Valkyrie sighed and said:
“’Gate Protection’ is an extremely special True Reason contract. It’s a contract without any hierarchy, and generally won’t be suppressed by True Reason.”
“But your ‘Gate’ ability is suppressed.”
“So you can continuously summon spirit arts through ‘Gate Protection’ to fight, but you cannot use the ‘Gate’ to return to your reality.”
Shen Ye asked, “If a Gatekeeper stands in the world of the spirit arts and summons a spirit art from here, can the spirit art be summoned back?”
“That is possible,” Valkyrie nodded.
“One last question—can ‘Gate Protection’ be transferred to others?”
There was a moment of silence.
Both Valkyrie and Finisher Lord looked at Shen Ye as if he were an idiot.
“It’s possible, but no one does it. It’s like giving the most precious thing in the world to someone else,” Valkyrie said.
Shen Ye said no more, simply raised his hand and let out a low cry:
“Failun!”
No movement.
—Could even the True Reason contract be suppressed?
“I told you, don’t harbor any foolish delusions; just wait for death.”
The voice in the sky grew more mocking.
Shen Ye’s eyes narrowed, and a sharp killing intent suddenly erupted from his body.
“Playing such a big game… I’ll play along.”
He whispered to himself, taking a step and walking in front of Valkyrie.
He opened his arms.
“What?” Valkyrie asked.
“Sacrifice—”
Shen Ye continued calmly: “We have consistently succeeded in making sacrifices to assist that Tier Seventeen big shot.”
“Logically, this kind of ritual that constantly strengthens an enemy should have been suppressed immediately, but it hasn’t been.”
“—This proves that the Ship of Chaos cannot stop the big shot’s sacrificial ritual!”
“Come, let’s continue the sacrifice!”
Valkyrie understood.
“But what do we sacrifice?” she asked.
Shen Ye was silent for a moment.
Indeed.
A Tier Seventeen big shot, their power had long reached an unimaginable level.
What could be sacrificed to change the situation?
Shen Ye spoke:
“Other things aren’t very valuable. I guess the only things that can help that big shot are True Reason-level creations—”
“I’ll offer a building to it.”
“You will preside over the ritual—since you are the only bug, if the Ship of Chaos investigates your issue, it will have to confront the problem of violating the rules by using you to attack me, so your sacrifice should be fine.”
Valkyrie’s eyes flickered, and she sighed, “I’ve fought for countless years, and this is the first time I’ve seen someone so skilled at utilizing rules like you.”
Her hand pressed against Shen Ye’s chest.
Instantly.
The sacrificial ritual began!
Lines of faint light appeared before Shen Ye’s eyes:
“The offering for this sacrifice is:”
“True Reason Bionic Human Creation Research Center.”
“This is an extremely precious building. Are you sure you want to offer this True Reason creation?”
Shen Ye grinned.
There were only three buildings in total, and now he was giving one away.
These buildings were his “real estate” combined with the Ship of Chaos’s “natural evolution,” and the eight “disorders” of the White Night Spirit Kings, all fused into a new True Reason creation.
If he had a choice, who would be willing to sacrifice their own power?
But he had been pushed to this point by the other party.
If he didn’t bring out something real, they would think he was Hello Kitty.
“You can still regret it now.”
Valkyrie said.
“This building contains their power. If it falls into the hands of the big shot, they will surely decipher many of their secrets… Sacrifice it!” Shen Ye said firmly.
“Just say ‘sacrifice.’ You don’t need that particle at the end,” Valkyrie corrected.
She suddenly exerted force with her hand.
Countless sacrificial runes emerged from the surrounding void, encircling the two of them, forming a platform that emitted a blazing light.
A grand voice echoed throughout the world:
“Ah… I feel it… This is an extremely valuable offering, enough for me to discern many secrets…”
The Tier Seventeen big shot!
It had arrived!
A crack appeared in the void.
Immediately after.
The crack quickly spread and shattered.
_wш⊕tt kan⊕C○_
The glowing giant emerged from the rift, overlooking the scene below.
In an instant.
It understood what was happening.
“Excellent! My agent, your decision was crucial!”
The True Reason Tier Seventeen big shot’s tone betrayed an uncontrollable excitement.
A building containing the enemy’s core elements!
This was too critical!
It could change the entire situation!
“Are there more such offerings? I need them!”
“Yes, one by one,” Shen Ye said.
As he spoke, he glanced at the void.
Ship of Chaos—
Why was it silent?
“Next offering, continue!” Shen Ye said.
Valkyrie held his chest still and reactivated the sacrificial ritual.
The light of the runes grew even more intense, soaring like a pillar of light into the sky, exuding a powerful and mysterious aura.
“I will reward you handsomely!”
The Tier Seventeen big shot said loudly.
In an instant.
Lines of faint light appeared in front of Shen Ye’s eyes:
“Your ‘True Reason Bionic Human Creation Research Center’ has been offered to the target of this ritual.”
“Through this sacrifice, the True Reason Tier Seventeen big shot has injected a new element into your ‘real estate’:”
“Ingestion.”
“This is a characteristic element, derived from—”
In the void, the voice of the big shot sounded again, carrying an inexplicable meaning:
“This is your reward, a precious element I acquired in my early years, it comes from multiple universes, it is a true characteristic of multiple universes.”
“—You will make use of it.”
“Now, give me the next offering!”
“Alright,” Shen Ye responded.
The other party was willing to offer such a precious element, so it was a huge gamble.
Then—
Sacrifice the True Reason Cannon!
Just as Shen Ye was about to designate the offering, a sudden change occurred—
The裂缝 in the void instantly closed, and all light and smoke were sucked into it, disappearing without a trace.
The Tier Seventeen big shot also vanished.
In its place was the White Night Spirit King.
Thump.
The White Night Spirit King landed in front of Shen Ye.
The moment it appeared, Shen Ye incorporated the “Ingestion” element into his “Real Estate.”
“You activated ‘Vampire Old Man,’ and ‘Ingestion’ has been fused.”
“This fusion resulted in a super evolution.”
“In response to the current suppression by the Ship of Chaos, combined with the ‘Ingestion’ element, your real-time strategy has begun to adjust.”
“A brand-new third type of building is currently under construction.”
All the tiny words flashed away.
“If I’m not mistaken, we just signed a non-interference agreement,” Shen Ye said.
He gripped the Night Rain Blade.
Valkyrie and Finisher Lord were also ready to fight at any moment.
The White Night Spirit King, however, sighed:
“I’ll act as an intermediary—the Ship of Chaos allows you to leave, but it cannot abandon too much of its suppressing power; you’ll have to find a way yourself.”
“That’s not what was said before,” Shen Ye sneered.
The White Night Spirit King said:
“To be frank, the Ship of Chaos has been suppressing that big shot and me severely, but since the big shot received your offering, it will surely devise a way to counter the Ship of Chaos, which will also alleviate some of my pressure.”
“I welcome this.”
“The Ship of Chaos fears that you will offer more True Reason creations, putting it in an even more disadvantageous position.”
The White Night Spirit King looked at Valkyrie, its expression becoming playful:
“It offered me an irresistible condition to kill your companion here, but I refused.”
“I refused because if she dies now, the Tier Seventeen big shot and I will completely lose our external support, and the Ship of Chaos will patch up the only loophole.”
“So the Ship of Chaos has no choice but to settle for a lesser option—”
“You can find a way to leave; it won’t hold you back any longer.”
“—Go now, this is your only chance to escape this place. Don’t wait for it to change its mind.”
The White Night Spirit King said.
Shen Ye looked at it, still finding it somewhat unbelievable.
When did this guy become so agreeable?
“What if I continue to offer sacrifices?”
Shen Ye asked.
“In that case, the Tier Seventeen big shot will become even stronger, and I will have no choice but to join forces with the Ship of Chaos. The situation will be completely different,” the White Night Spirit King said.
The White Night Spirit King glanced at him, then said plainly, “I never bother to look twice at ants, but what you’ve done makes it worth my while to come here and clarify things for you.”
“As for what you decide, that’s your business.”
With that said.
It walked into the void and disappeared.
The entire floor returned to silence.
“What now? Should we trust it?”
Finisher Lord asked.
Just as Shen Ye was about to speak, the voice of that big shot suddenly rang in his ear:
“What do you think?”
“If I stay here, they will unite against you, but if I leave, the situation between you won’t change, and I can continue offering sacrifices to you from a distant location,” Shen Ye transmitted.
“Good idea, let’s do that,” the big shot replied with satisfaction.
Its aura fluctuations disappeared.
Only then did Shen Ye look at Valkyrie and Finisher Lord, and said:
“No matter what they say, I do need to go back—let’s try one more time to see if I’m still blocked.”
He raised his hand—
Summon Failun!
With a soft “thump.”
Big Skeleton jumped out of the void and stood before the three of them.
It worked.
Valkyrie said, “It seems they are fiercely contending on three sides, and it has reached a very critical moment, so they want to drive us away at the lowest possible cost.”
“Perhaps this truly is our last chance to leave this place,” Finisher Lord also said.
Shen Ye said nothing, simply waved to Big Skeleton.
“Hey, long time no see.”
“Yeah, brother, why did you suddenly summon me?” Big Skeleton asked, spreading its hands.
—It had been a while since he had contact with Shen Ye.
It felt a little guilty.
Because it had returned to the Undead Empire under the pretense of finding materials for Shen Ye’s “Whispers of the Dark” advancement.
But once it got back and relaxed, it just kept relaxing.
It hadn’t looked for any materials.
Nor was it very clear about Shen Ye’s situation.
It only cared about relaxing… hoping it wouldn’t be exposed…
“There’s something to do,” Shen Ye said.
“What is it? Is it important?” Big Skeleton feigned composure.
“It’s nothing, very simple, you can definitely do it,” Shen Ye said.
Hearing his certain tone, Big Skeleton relaxed.
Shen Ye was meticulous in his actions.
If he said it was simple, it couldn’t be difficult!
Shen Ye led it to Valkyrie and introduced:
“This is the Undead Saintly Skeleton, Failun.”
“—Do you think he would make a good new Gatekeeper?”
Big Skeleton heard.
Gatekeeper?
It sounded like a simple task indeed.
“It’s possible, it’s possible,” Valkyrie hesitated, then whispered, “But you’re just giving ‘Gate Protection’ to someone else just like that?”
“Failun is my buddy, it’s fine,” Shen Ye guaranteed.
Valkyrie sighed, rubbed her temples, and said:
“Come here, skeleton, I’ll tell you the steps of the ritual.”
Soon.
Big Skeleton learned the ritual for transferring “Gate Protection.”
“What do I do next?”
It proactively asked.
“You go back first—back to the Nightmare World, then complete the ritual,” Shen Ye said.
“Good.”
Big Skeleton responded.
Shen Ye immediately revoked the summon, letting it return to the Nightmare World.
“Are you sure? I mean, letting a skeleton be the Gatekeeper of the entire multi-universe,” Valkyrie asked.
“Just temporarily for me—don’t worry, he can do it,” Shen Ye said.
On the other side.
In the Nightmare World.
In the Evernight Palace.
Failun suddenly appeared in its own bedchamber.
“Traveling so far, I’m a bit tired.”
It mumbled to itself, first shared some wine, then ate some soul fire bones, stretched, and walked outside.
—It really didn’t want to move.
After finishing Shen Ye’s task, it wanted to rest for a few days.
The voice of Hades Mikhterkacihua suddenly rang out:
“Come to my bedchamber—I haven’t checked on you for a while, and I want to see how your combat skills have improved recently.”
Failun’s heart tightened, then suddenly relaxed, even feeling a little like laughing.
Good, good.
Fortunately, Shen Ye sought me out!
This time, I can get away with it again!
“Mother,” Failun respectfully said, “I’m afraid I cannot right now. Shen Ye has asked me to do some work for him.”
“He contacted you? Is it something important?” Hades Mikhterkacihua asked.
“It’s a very simple ritual, but he doesn’t trust anyone else, and I am his most trusted combat partner, which is why he specifically called me to do it.”
Failun said.
“Good, then do it diligently—I’m going to discuss something with the Earth Mother and will be back in a few days.” Hades Mikhterkacihua said.
“Yes, please don’t worry, Mother,” Failun’s voice remained serious and steady.
“Hmm, you’ve grown, Failun.”
Hades Mikhterkacihua’s satisfied voice sounded.
After a while.
A flying fortress soared from the imperial palace, heading towards the Beastmen’s territory.
—That was Hades Mikhterkacihua’s palace.
Failun watched as the palace gradually flew further away, turning into an invisible speck.
“I can safely lie down for a few more days, wahahahahaha…”
Failun couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Mom’s not home, no one can control me.
This feeling is too good!
—But let’s finish what Shen Ye asked me to do first.
Gatekeeper…
It sounded so simple.
Forget it, for the sake of brotherhood, I’ll be the gatekeeper.
Failun, following the method taught by Valkyrie, painstakingly presided over the complex ritual step by step.
Over a hundred steps.
It took him a good half an hour to reach the most crucial step.
“Shen Ye, are you willing to let me be the Gatekeeper?”
Big Skeleton asked the void.
On the other side.
Shen Ye immediately sensed the query.
Valkyrie, with a solemn expression, whispered, “You need to think carefully—such immense power, determining the lives of countless beings, entrusted to a mere skeleton—you wouldn’t even have time to regret it.”
“I am willing,” Shen Ye said.
In an instant.
A certain invisible power on Shen Ye’s body immediately vanished, and a line of faint words popped up:
“You have lost the True Reason contract ‘Gate Protection’!”
Shen Ye quickly turned his head, looked at Valkyrie, and said:
“Come with me, staying here is a dead end.”
Valkyrie immediately asked, “How do we leave?”
“Actually, sometimes I can also be a spirit art,” Shen Ye said.
“You?” Valkyrie couldn’t help but ask.
“I was recognized by the Nightmare World long ago, I am a well-known figure in that world, even having a legendary reputation in their history.”
“—I am a member of that world!”
Shen Ye said.
“Alright then, take me with you,” Valkyrie said.
At this moment, Big Skeleton was rendered speechless.
It felt the power of the so-called “Gatekeeper,” its soul fire flickering in its eye sockets, and its two hands trembling slightly.
“Shen Ye… I can’t do this!”
Big Skeleton let out a wail.
“You do it for now, anyway, if you die, you can resurrect, what are you afraid of?” Shen Ye said.
“But I—”
“No more talk, the situation is very complicated right now. You do it first, if it really doesn’t work out, we’ll switch back.”
“…Alright.”
Big Skeleton took a deep breath, silently activated the True Reason contract, and said:
“Summon—human ancient hero Paige.”
Several lines of prompts immediately appeared in front of Shen Ye:
“Do you wish to be summoned as the Nightmare World’s spirit art: Paige?”
“I am Paige, Baxter Paige,” Shen Ye said.
Infinite light surged from all directions.
The summoning succeeded!
Bang—
The void flickered, and a passage appeared.
This was the exit!
Shen Ye stepped onto it, immediately sensing the turbulent power in the void.
Three unimaginable forces were raging in the void!
One of these forces sensed him, and slightly retracted its True Reason suppression.
Another force immediately stopped, maintaining a watchful stance.
The third force flew above the passage—
It was protecting Shen Ye!
Shen Ye’s mind was clear; he immediately distinguished that these forces belonged to the Ship of Chaos, the White Night Spirit King, and the True Reason Tier Seventeen big shot, respectively.
In this exceedingly rare moment of truce—
He stepped forward again.
The next second.
Shen Ye appeared directly in the Evernight Imperial Palace.
He was actually summoned!
As soon as he appeared, lines of faint words immediately emerged in the void:
“Congratulations.”
“Your actions have been acknowledged by the Law Realm.”
“Throughout endless history, whenever three beings above True Reason Tier Eight contended, they would always attempt to kill all surrounding covetous and unstable elements.”
“However, this time, they unanimously decided to let you go.”
“This is unprecedented.”
“With this feat, you have acquired a new epithet:”
“Whiplash.”
“Dark Gold epithet, special category epithet.”
Shen Ye couldn’t bother to read it carefully and immediately raised his hand, shouting:
“Gate!”
There was no suppression from the Ship of Chaos here, nor were there any lingering battle effects from the three great powers.
The Heavenly Gate immediately appeared!
Shen Ye stepped through it, returning to the Death Star.
