Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 504
byChapter 487: Play Big
Multiverse.
Yujing, Xirang High School.
Dormitory.
“Whoosh—”
With a clang, the chain was completely unlocked.
Snap.
The chain suddenly turned into a damaged chip.
And that gem still glowed with a soft light.
“Hahahaha, I didn’t expect that as a truth-level long bladed weapon, I could be so powerful!”
The bone blade reverted to Big Skeleton, picked up the gem and the chip from the table.
It eagerly turned to look for Shen Ye.
“Eh? That’s not right…”
The door connecting to the real world had already closed and disappeared.
Shen Ye was the gatekeeper.
He was on the other side of the barrier.
It couldn’t get through.
“What do I do now?”
Big Skeleton scratched its head, then suddenly remembered something and snapped its fingers.
—There was another Shen Ye in this world!
It was Shen Ye anyway.
Giving it to any Shen Ye was the same!
Big Skeleton silently communicated with the contract.
One breath.
Two breaths.
A door opened.
Young Shen Ye entered the dormitory.
“What is it?”
He asked, while quickly dealing with something on his phone.
Big Skeleton handed over the gem and the damaged chip, explaining the beginning and end of the matter.
“Understood.”
Shen Ye was still tapping on his phone, motioning Big Skeleton to place the gem and chip on the table next to him.
He said without looking up:
“This gem has many secrets, but it also contains an extremely high-level energy, making it difficult to handle.”
Big Skeleton was startled, “That powerful?”
Shen Ye picked up his phone, answered a call, and after hearing the other side, instructed, “Let them continue bidding.”
The call ended.
“You’re so busy. Do you need to fight? I’m ready to go at any time.”
Big Skeleton said proudly.
Now it could transform into a dragon and a truth-level weapon, exuding unprecedented confidence.
“It’s not about fighting.”
Shen Ye said, while looking at his phone.
His phone screen displayed constantly rising data, looking like a backend for selling goods.
“What exactly is this?” Big Skeleton asked, puzzled.
“I’m having a Double 11 event here, selling sacrifice slots. Business is booming, and I can’t leave,” Shen Ye explained.
His phone rang again, and he quickly lowered his head to attend to it.
“Weren’t you giving away gold? Why are you selling sacrifice slots now?”
Big Skeleton asked with folded arms.
“Selling ads and traffic, I’ve already broken even—but I need to personally manage and operate it,” Shen Ye explained, not looking up.
“Shall I send it over then?” Big Skeleton asked.
“Yes, my other self has the ‘Last Eternal Chip,’ he’s more suitable to handle these two things,” Shen Ye said.
The items were back in Big Skeleton’s hands.
“Then I’ll go?”
Big Skeleton asked.
“Wait a moment, help me deliver a message to my other self,” Young Shen Ye said.
“It should be easy for you to contact yourself, why do you need me to deliver a message?” Big Skeleton asked.
But seeing Shen Ye’s expression, it immediately added:
“Okay, I’ll deliver the message for you.”
New messages kept popping up on Young Shen Ye’s phone.
But he no longer looked at them.
He put down his phone, looked seriously at Big Skeleton, and said:
“Tell my other self—”
“Chatelet has been fighting the Chaos Boat Puppet and hasn’t returned yet.”
Big Skeleton nodded:
“Understood, I will relay it truthfully, word for word.”
Shen Ye opened a door.
Big Skeleton went directly through it.
On the other side.
Young Shen Ye was sitting in a nanny van, wearing an eye mask, resting.
Suddenly.
A voice came from beside him:
“You’re right.”
It was the investigator’s voice.
He continued, “Many people on the internet are already searching for my information. If this continues, it will affect the entire investigation.”
“This has seriously deviated from the Milky Way Revolutionary Army’s mission objective.”
“I have already suggested canceling this mission.”
Xiao Yurong immediately became anxious:
“This is a mission we worked so hard to get approved, how can it be canceled just like that?”
Her phone suddenly vibrated slightly.
Upon checking, it was indeed a notification that the mission had been terminated.
“Shen Ye! Our mission was terminated by him, what do we do!”
Xiao Yurong asked.
“Appeal,” Shen Ye said with a smile.
“I’ll go personally, appeal to the superiors face-to-face!” Xiao Yurong stomped her foot, opened the car door, leaped out, and instantly soared into the sky, far away.
The investigator looked at Shen Ye again.
“Major General Shen Ye, aren’t you angry? We were about to enter the field you are best at, but then I called it off. Don’t you care at all?”
“—Or are you hiding your emotions?”
He asked.
Shen Ye smiled.
Saying he wasn’t angry would seem strange.
Saying he was angry would mean the other party was waiting for him to act, looking for his weaknesses.
What clever rhetoric.
However, he took on this mission to return to Earth from outer space, and now that he was back, he could take on any mission.
There was no need to bother with this fellow.
Upgrading was more important.
“Alright, investigate however you wish. I have things to do, goodbye.”
Shen Ye had the driver stop the car, and he got off directly on a bustling city street and left.
Unexpectedly, the investigator followed him.
“What are you doing?”
Shen Ye asked.
“I’m investigating you—if you’re not guilty, you shouldn’t mind me,” the investigator said.
“But you’re interfering with my life,” Shen Ye said.
“It won’t.”
“Are you sure?”
“I’m just observing everything about you, I will never interfere with anything you do.”
“That would be best.”
Shen Ye turned around and went to a breakfast stall, ordering steamed buns, wontons, rice wine, beef noodles, pan-fried dumplings, and tea eggs, then sat down to eat slowly.
The investigator followed and watched from the side.
But at this time, there was a large crowd, and while Shen Ye ate, many people were already waiting for a seat.
“You just sit here taking up space, not eating anything?”
Shen Ye asked.
Everyone around looked over.
The investigator, unfazed, picked up the menu and ordered a bowl of noodles.
WWW ▪ttkǎn ▪￠○
A moment later.
His noodles arrived.
The investigator picked up his chopsticks, about to eat his noodles.
Shen Ye suddenly stood up, his figure shooting out like lightning, running towards the other side of the street.
The investigator immediately pushed through the crowd, followed closely, crossing the street, and accelerating to catch up with Shen Ye—
He saw Shen Ye standing on top of a utility pole, stretching lazily under the morning sun.
“It’s really comfortable to bask in the sun after a full meal!”
“Another beautiful day!”
He stood on the utility pole, yawning in the wind, then looked down:
“Huh? You’re here again?”
“I need to watch you,” the investigator said coldly.
“You haven’t eaten your noodles yet,” Shen Ye said, crouching on the utility pole, smiling.
“I’m not hungry,” the investigator said.
“Alright, suit yourself—did you pay?” Shen Ye asked again.
The investigator paused, then said, “You didn’t pay either.”
Shen Ye took out his phone and opened the bill:
“See, I paid.”
The investigator stared at him coldly and said:
“Breakfast money is a small matter; keeping an eye on a suspect is a big deal.”
“This is getting boring,” Shen Ye sighed.
The investigator stopped talking, just stood under the utility pole, looking up at Shen Ye in a provoking manner.
Shen Ye couldn’t be bothered with him anymore.
Because the “barrier” on the other side had opened a Heavenly Gate.
Big Skeleton passed directly through the “barrier” and arrived within his Dharma Form.
“Everything went smoothly?” Shen Ye asked.
“Smoothly, and I even met your other self,” Big Skeleton said.
Big Skeleton placed the gem and the damaged chip within the Dharma Form.
“Hmm.”
Shen Ye first examined the damaged chip.
“Tracking chip, damaged.”
“This is that necklace, should I keep it?” Big Skeleton asked.
Shen Ye pondered for a few breaths and then said:
“How about you eat it?”
“You want me to turn into a necklace? Genius idea, but I usually only eat corpses—and this is a mechanical creation!” Big Skeleton yelped.
“Try it?” Shen Ye asked.
“I need to think… maybe I should evolve in this direction,” Big Skeleton fell into contemplation.
Shen Ye looked at the gem again.
Lines of faint light appeared above the gem:
“You possess the ‘Last Eternal Chip’.”
“Use this chip key to verify authority through the gem.”
“The power of the gem has been unlocked.”
“From now on, you can use this gem to trigger a continuous quest, leading you to explore the secrets of the Eternal Brain and acquire its power.”
“—This gem possesses the fundamental source of the Eternal Brain, and thus has the ability to activate grand historical missions.”
“To begin, you must recite the activation key set by the Eternal Brain back then:”
“May the future be greater than the past.”
This gem must be opened by the “Eternal Chip.”
Now, he had opened it and could use it to activate a continuous quest.
—Should he do it?
After all, he was quite curious about what happened to the Eternal Brain back then.
Shen Ye suddenly looked down at the utility pole.
That investigator—
Or rather, Major General Xu Daojun, the traitor of the Galactic Revolutionary Army, was sticking to him like a burr.
If he activated the continuous quest now, he might accidentally reveal himself.
Just as he was thinking, he heard Big Skeleton’s voice again from within his Dharma Form:
“Oh, right, your other self asked me to deliver a message to you.”
“A message?” Shen Ye asked, surprised.
“‘Chatelet is fighting the Chaos Boat’s puppet and hasn’t returned yet’,” Big Skeleton said earnestly. Shen Ye froze.
Chatelet—
hadn’t returned.
How was she doing?
Could she defeat the enemy?
Her enemy was a puppet released by the Chaos Boat, the third-ranked ultimate creation—
In other words, a puppet version of herself.
—This battle was extremely dangerous.
Shen Ye thought in a daze.
Under the utility pole.
The investigator looked up at Shen Ye, his expression suddenly changing.
This person’s aura had changed.
What happened?
He hadn’t received any messages, and hadn’t even taken out his phone.
All around—
The investigator observed his surroundings, seeing busy traffic and bustling crowds on the street.
It was rush hour.
Although Shen Ye squatting on the utility pole seemed strange, everyone was rushing to work, and few people gawked at this “madman.”
Madman…
This guy’s emotions changed too quickly, and his actions were always unpredictable.
Maybe he really was a madman?
No—
This person was definitely not a madman; he planned everything he did.
He knew he could take the initiative on the variety show, which was why he accepted it.
He had also won over Xiao Yurong, making this naive young major general fight on his behalf.
—Every move he made had a deeper meaning.
Through the sudden incident at breakfast just now, he had repeatedly tested the limits of his conduct, such as whether he would pay, whether he would cling to him, and what he would do next—
The investigator suddenly stopped thinking.
Because Shen Ye jumped down from the utility pole, stood in front of him, and even patted his shoulder.
“Hey, I have some personal business next.”
Shen Ye said.
“Go do it, I’m just following you,” the investigator said.
“The so-called personal business is something I can’t let you see,” Shen Ye said seriously.
“What if I insist on following?” the investigator asked.
Shen Ye didn’t speak.
“Perhaps it’s something unspeakable?” the investigator asked again.
The next moment.
Before the investigator could react, Shen Ye grabbed his shoulder, flipped him in the air, and slammed him hard into the ground with a dull thump.
The ground fractured.
The investigator’s mind went blank.
No.
This isn’t right!
He was clearly a man of deep thought, every action purposeful.
Why would he directly attack him?
Why would he do something so reckless?
The investigator gritted his teeth and roared, “You really are—”
Slap.
Shen Ye slapped him, knocking out a few of his teeth.
The investigator threw a punch, but Shen Ye had already grabbed his fist, shaking his entire arm a few times, quickly dispersing the strength in his arm.
A series of bone cracks sounded.
“Aaahhh—”
The investigator let out a miserable scream.
But he immediately swung his other arm, summoning a bolt of lightning that enveloped his hand.
However, Shen Ye’s movements seemed to be waiting for this move.
Just as the lightning landed on his hand, Shen Ye grabbed his wrist and forcefully shoved it into the investigator’s mouth.
“Mmm…”
The investigator was hit by the lightning he summoned, and immediately convulsed.
“Mortal combat is truly too boring and too simple.”
Shen Ye sighed. After the lightning on the investigator’s hand dissipated, he pulled it from his mouth and twisted hard.
“Aaahhh!” the investigator screamed again.
But this scream contained a hint of fear.
Monster.
He was simply a monster!
He couldn’t defend against those few moves at all.
If he wanted to kill him, he would have been dead already.
Why?
Why was a mere Major General so strong?
“Sorry, I don’t actually like treating others this way, but you’ve been following me for so long that I’m getting annoyed.”
Shen Ye said, spreading his hands.
The investigator remained silent, but his left foot transformed into an afterimage, unfolding seven or eight illusory moves in the air to confuse Shen Ye.
The real killing blow was hidden behind those feints, accumulating power, ready to kill with one strike.
—This was the decisive move!
“Die!” the investigator roared.
His left foot shot out from the illusion, like a scorpion striking with its most venomous sting!
But Shen Ye seemed to have anticipated it, and blocked the kick with his elbow.
Such a dangerous attack, clearly capable of deciding their lives and deaths, yet so simple and unadorned!
Boom!!!
Both sides exerted their full strength.
A powerful shockwave spread out like a visible transverse wave, throwing several cars parked on the roadside into the air.
As the dust settled.
Shen Ye’s elbow was holding the other’s foot, unmoving.
He had withstood the opponent’s killing blow!
“Is that all? I’m a little disappointed…”
Shen Ye sighed, then suddenly launched a kick, striking the opponent’s knee.
Crack.
The investigator’s leg was broken by his kick.
“My apologies, I have OCD, I must make it an even number,” Shen Ye said.
Amidst the other’s screams, he twisted the other leg, and with a forceful twist,
Another crisp sound of bone breaking.
The investigator’s hands and feet were all broken!
Several lines of faint light appeared in mid-air:
“You activated the power of the Tribunal: Capture of Endless Natural Evolution.”
“—With the endless combat methods evolved by countless beings in life-and-death struggles, converging into a sea, merging into one, finally forming this supreme truth-level grappling art.”
“—Slaughter is endless, and evolution is also endless.”
Shen Ye’s expression was indifferent. He pressed a palm into the utility pole, then grabbed the investigator’s head and brought him up the pole.
He tied the investigator to several wires, pulling them tight.
“Stay here quietly.”
Shen Ye said gently:
“If you move around, the utility pole will break immediately, and these wires will also have problems—high voltage electricity will make you more miserable and more painful, and it will be even more troublesome for the organization to rescue you.”
“Goodbye.”
Just as he was about to leave, the investigator called out:
“Are you skilled in close combat?”
Shen Ye said without looking back, “You should have the answer yourself, why ask me?”
With that, his figure flickered and he disappeared.
The investigator—
Or rather, Major General Xu Daojun, tied to the electric wires, looked somewhat bewildered.
If this guy was skilled in close combat—
Then the clearing of the monsters in the base was not his doing.
Indeed.
His close-quarters combat skills were terrifying.
But close combat requires direct contact with the enemy to be effective.
However, the monsters that appeared in the base last night were instantly annihilated by an extremely powerful force.
Could it be that his initial direction was wrong?
Did the person who truly took the gem escape his sight and leave long ago?
Of course.
This brat’s treatment of an investigator sent by the higher-ups would also lead to a miserable end.
But—
Did he really find the wrong target?
Xu Daojun felt extremely annoyed in his heart. The broken parts of his hands and feet again sent waves of intense pain, causing him to curse in a low voice:
“Damn it! I’m going to kill you, you little brat!”
Before he finished speaking.
A cracking sound came from the utility pole beneath him.
Xu Daojun froze, then realized.
—The other party had already damaged the utility pole!
There was no such thing as “if you move, the utility pole will break immediately.”
From the very beginning, he intended to torture him with high-voltage electricity!
“How ruthless…”
Before he even finished speaking.
The utility pole indeed broke and fell to one side.
Tiny cuts suddenly appeared on each of the wires, and the high-voltage electricity violently erupted, fiercely striking Xu Daojun’s body.
The next moment.
A heart-wrenching scream echoed throughout the entire block.
On the other side.
Shen Ye had already activated the gem.
He walked slowly in a secluded alley, reciting the activation key:
“May the future be greater than the past.”
After waiting for a few breaths.
Lines of glowing text suddenly appeared in the void:
“Network detected:”
“Read-only storage center.”
“Identity provided: Eternal Chip.”
“Key verified: Eternal Gem.”
“Connect to this network?”
Shen Ye silently said, “Connect.”
A sudden change occurred—
The alley disappeared.
Shen Ye found himself standing in endless darkness, observing the giant human brain from afar.
—The Eternal Brain!
At this point, one thing became clear.
Numerous tubes connected to the Eternal Brain, continuously injecting something to maintain the brain’s operation.
Was this the brain in a vat?
Shen Ye silently watched the Eternal Brain, its texture having long turned grey-white, and the overwhelming aura of death emanating from it.
This brain was dead.
But an unknown entity had captured it, injecting energy to maintain its operation, solely to discover the secrets and power of the Eternal Brain.
Faint glowing text quietly appeared:
“You have temporarily gained control of the Eternal Brain (Dead).”
“Start continuous quest?”
“Warning!”
“The quest process may be monitored by unauthorized users, who may then seize your authority. Proceed anyway?”
Shen Ye was silent for a moment.
Being monitored.
—Meaning the energy injector could snatch whatever he found in the quest at any time?
But—
Chatelet’s life and death were unknown; I don’t have time to play along slowly now.
If he was going to play.
He was going to play big!
Shen Ye reached out and gently pressed the void.
A line of faint text immediately popped up:
“You have gained control of the Eternal Brain (Dead). Which command would you like to execute?”
Shen Ye did not answer.
He began to activate his entries.
Along with the power of the entries, new lines of faint text frantically appeared in the void:
“You activated the entry ‘Battle Songstress’, temporarily elevating the seventh-tier truth entry ‘Vampire overlord’ by one level.”
“The current entry has temporarily advanced to ‘Vampire Ancestor’.”
“—This is an eighth-tier truth entry!”
“You have begun to merge the ‘Eternal Brain’ (Dead) with the ‘Controller of the Eternal Brain’.”
“Warning!”
“After merging, the ‘Controller of the Eternal Brain’ must provide life force to the ‘Eternal Brain’ (Dead), otherwise both will die.”
“This merger reached the eighth-tier truth.”
“The ‘Controller of the Eternal Brain’ has not had contact with truth-category powers.”
“This merger generated a truth suppression.”
“Merge successful!”
