Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 537

“If you don’t debut, I’m going back to acting.”

Xie Lan said.

“Acting? Are you kidding me? The world is about to end, and you still want to act?” Shen Ye was somewhat confused.

Nangong Sirui is quite clever; why is he so obsessed with acting after awakening his memories in the Void of Truth?

“After all, I was the second one to awaken. Actually, after carefully experiencing it these past few days, I’ve had some new insights, Shen Ye.”

Xie Lan stood up, struck a pose, and cleared his throat:

“I haven’t been idle these past two days. I gained some attributes through your Destruction Arsenal, and then I tried to activate the Dharma Aspect.”

“You might have already felt it, we can still use the Dharma Aspects we had on the Death Planet.”

Shen Ye thought for a moment and nodded:

“That’s right.”

He could use the Dharma Aspect: One Qi Transforms into Three Purities – Three Purities’ Initial Return.

Based on this Dharma Aspect, performing the Heaven-Shaking Slash would cause this Dharma Aspect to rotate, transforming into a Dharma Aspect exclusive to this sword art:

Rotating Dharma Aspect: Wrathful Heavenly King Aspect.

“Although we have two bodies, our Dharma Aspects are consistent.”

Shen Ye added.

Xie Lan was waiting for this very sentence and immediately said, “But you can’t deny — the body we have on Earth is very weak, and originally had no Dharma Aspect.”

“That’s also true,” Shen Ye said.

“So, is there a possibility?” Xie Lan asked.

“What possibility?” Shen Ye truly didn’t know what he was trying to say.

“We can actually condense a Dharma Aspect that belongs to our true body!” Xie Lan cleared his throat and said.

Shen Ye was stunned.

Hold on.

It seems… that makes sense…

This is too crazy.

Two Dharma Aspects?

Shen Ye suddenly came to his senses and asked, “What does this have to do with your acting?”

“Because when I was acting, I had a feeling of Dharma Aspect awakening — it seemed that in the performance, I was about to successfully conceive a Dharma Aspect — just a little bit short,” Xie Lan said.

As soon as he finished speaking, his phone rang.

His assistant’s voice came through the receiver:

“Brother Lan, your scene is at eleven o’clock, be sure to rush back on time.”

“Okay, I’ll be there on time.”

Xie Lan hung up.

Shen Ye checked the time; it was now a quarter past eight in the morning.

“I have a feeling that after today’s shoot, I can awaken my Dharma Aspect.”

Xie Lan said, getting up to leave.

Unexpectedly, Shen Ye also stood up and said, “I’ll go with you.”

“You too?”

Xie Lan asked in surprise.

Shen Ye couldn’t help but look up at the hazy sky.

The Destruction Servants were undergoing selection.

The Lord of Death was being chased by the Queen of Destruction.

His other self was also attracting their attention in the history of destruction.

So —

The human world was temporarily safe!

Peace was just an illusion, and perhaps it wouldn’t last long.

But at least at this moment, ordinary people’s lives were not disturbed.

He didn’t need to rush to deal with any battles.

“This matter is quite crucial; I also want to witness it with my own eyes,” Shen Ye said with a smile.

Two Dharma Aspects —

This matter concerned the speed of progress of the entire human civilization.

As long as there were no other disturbances, he would definitely confirm it at the first opportunity.

“Alright, if you’re there, I’ll feel more at ease as well — let’s go, we need to hurry.”

Xie Lan said.

The two left the breakfast shop, locked the rolling shutter, got in the car, and drove away.

Just twenty minutes later.

On set.

Xie Lan spent an hour on makeup, hair, and putting on ancient armor.

Shen Ye stayed by his side, scrolling on his phone.

—Xie Lan had gotten him a work badge to hang around his neck, which read “Personal Assistant.”

People saw him as the film emperor’s assistant, so they were all quite polite.

Today’s scene was a palace assassination.

Xie Lan played the assassin, who met the female lead at a palace banquet. The female lead recognized him but hesitated whether to expose his identity.

Xie Lan had to appease and gain her trust, then assassinate the emperor amidst the chaos.

As soon as filming began.

He immersed himself in the role and started playing opposite the female lead.

As Xie, the film emperor’s assistant, Shen Ye was allowed to stay on set and watch the entire filming process.

The first few takes went smoothly.

The director basically called “cut” after one take.

Then, there was a sudden power outage.

The crew went to check it out and reported back that it was a short circuit and would be fixed soon.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

—The daily rental fee for this costume drama set was not cheap.

“Alright, ten-minute break!”

The director shouted.

Everyone either drank water or went to the restroom.

Xie Lan took the bottle handed to him by his real assistant, took a sip, and sat there while the makeup artist touched up his makeup.

“How was it?” he asked.

“Excellent acting,” Shen Ye gave a thumbs up.

Shen Ye asked again:

“How was it?”

“Almost there, just a little bit more,” Xie Lan said with slight excitement.

“Good,” Shen Ye was also a little expectant.

The makeup artist and assistant both had question marks on their faces, not knowing what the two were talking about.

“Huh?”

A voice sounded nearby.

Everyone turned to look.

They saw the assistant director of the set looking over.

“Elder Yu, what’s wrong?”

Xie Lan asked.

“Nothing—huh? Is this person your assistant? Don’t you have an assistant?” Vice Director Yu asked.

“He’s my friend, he came to the set with me to have a look,” Xie Lan explained with a smile.

“Hmm… alright…”

Vice Director Yu glanced at Shen Ye a few more times, then turned and left.

Now it was Shen Ye who was confused.

The other party seemed to be just an ordinary person.

How could that be?

Did he know him?

He glanced at Xie Lan, who also looked bewildered.

A few minutes later.

The director, along with the assistant director and the producer, walked over.

“It’s him.”

The assistant director pointed at Shen Ye.

All eyes turned to Shen Ye.

“Director Liu, Director Yu, what’s wrong with my brother?”

Xie Lan stood up, asking in confusion.

Shen Ye also put down his phone.

—He was originally discussing various creation fragments with the AI, but now he had to see what was going on.

“Don’t misunderstand… it’s just that your friend is very suitable for a role in the play. No, he’s exactly the person we imagined.”

The director said.

Xie Lan immediately relaxed, then felt a bit amused.

“My friend is an outsider; he hasn’t been involved in acting before.”

He finished speaking and looked at Shen Ye.

—Are you going to act or not?

Shen Ye also realized at this point.

He had the “Popular Idol Max” tag on him.

These people, who had been in the entertainment industry their whole lives, had a keen sense, and as soon as they saw him, they vaguely felt that he could become famous.

That’s why this whole thing was happening.

“I’ll pass,” he waved his hand with a smile. “I can’t act, I haven’t learned, and I don’t want to be in this line of work.”

Everyone was silent for a moment, but they all looked a bit regretful.

“The power’s back on!”

Someone shouted.

Indeed, all the lights on set brightened.

“Alright, let’s make good use of the time and finish our morning tasks first.”

The director waved his hand.

Everyone plunged back into intense filming.

Shen Ye still sat far away, holding his phone, intently watching Xie Lan.

Xie Lan’s assistant advised him,

“Brother Ye, you should really give it a try. If you become famous, your life could reach its peak.”

Shen Ye shook his head.

—If he were acting on set and the Destruction Servants arrived, all the actors present would die.

No need.

On the set.

Xie Lan’s scenes were passing one after another.

Finally, the climax arrived.

He bid farewell to the female lead, met the emperor, drew his sword, and went in for the assassination.

“You dog emperor, give up your life!”

The ancient-garbed Xie Lan roared and thrust his sword forward.

“Cut!”

“Perfect!”

The director shouted.

Everyone cheered and applauded.

Xie Lan’s performance just now was truly spectacular, passing in one take!

However, Shen Ye frowned.

Just now, at that instant.

He clearly felt the descent of some kind of power of truth.

But after the dramatic climax ended—

That power disappeared again.

It failed to manifest successfully!

…Quite strange.

If it were anyone else, they might not have even noticed.

But he could perceive a certain invisible “wall” blocking the manifestation of the power of truth.

At this moment, Xie Lan came to remove his makeup.

“Not good enough?”

Xie Lan asked dejectedly.

“It was good enough, brother,” the assistant next to him said.

Xie Lan looked at Shen Ye.

“It was good enough, buddy,” Shen Ye winked at him.

Xie Lan said nothing more.

It took a while to remove the makeup.

The two got in the car and sped away from the set.

“What were you trying to say just now?”

Xie Lan asked while driving.

“I felt that you were originally successful, but something unexpected happened that we don’t know about, so the entire ritual was suddenly interrupted,” Shen Ye said.

“An unexpected event…” Xie Lan fell into thought.

“I’m not sure, but I don’t think that was a Dharma Aspect,” Shen Ye said.

“Not a Dharma Aspect? But it felt like I was awakening a Dharma Aspect, at least very similar.”

Xie Lan said.

“Yeah, it’s quite strange,” Shen Ye shrugged.

“Even you don’t know what’s going on?” Xie Lan pressed on, unwilling to give up.

Shen Ye fully understood his feelings.

If he could also open two completely different Dharma Aspects…

This matter was of great significance.

“I was relatively far away at the time, outside the crowd, so the sensation was a bit blurry.”

Shen Ye said.

“That’s easy. We’ll go back and do it again. This time, you’ll be right beside me and get a good look.”

“Hmm… it’s not impossible.”

Xie Lan stepped on the accelerator.

The sports car sped towards Uncle Seven’s breakfast shop.

A few minutes later.

The two were in the courtyard behind the breakfast shop.

Uncle Seven had returned and brewed tea for them, then turned to go prepare lunch in the front.

“Wait a moment, Uncle Seven.”

Shen Ye called out.

Uncle Seven stopped and looked back at him.

“Didn’t I buy you Mushan? You shouldn’t have to worry about sacrifices, so why not close the breakfast shop?” Shen Ye asked.

Uncle Seven grinned and said, “Thank you for your suggestion. Mushan is indeed useful, but I haven’t experienced such an immersive scene in a long time.”

“Breakfast sacrifices, for me, are a joyful feast.”

“I like living this way.”

Shen Ye nodded, “Understood, then never mind. But Uncle Seven, don’t leave yet, stay here and guard us.”

“What are you going to do?” Uncle Seven asked curiously.

Shen Ye then explained the situation.

“Two Dharma Aspects?” Uncle Seven also looked puzzled. “I’ve lived for hundreds of millions of years and have never heard of two Dharma Aspects.”

“I also think there’s something strange. Please help us keep watch from the side—because my body on Earth is also very weak,” Shen Ye said.

“Interesting… alright, wait for me to close the shop, I’ll be right there.”

Uncle Seven went to close the front door, returned to the backyard, and stood with the two.

Everything was ready.

Xie Lan gathered his emotions and once again played the assassin.

Shen Ye helped him perform.

“You dog emperor, you never expected to see this day, did you?” Xie Lan said bitterly.

“Brave man, I can give you anything you want, why use weapons!” Shen Ye said.

“Die!”

Xie Lan raised the non-existent weapon high and stabbed towards Shen Ye.

It was at THIS moment!

The void stirred.

Infinite power of truth gathered, about to form something in Xie Lan’s hand—

It was about to succeed!

In a flash of lightning, some inexplicable power swept down and passed over.

The newly formed object, before it could even appear, was swept away.

It was at THIS moment!

“Who is it? Please show yourself!” Shen Ye shouted.

However, there was no response from the void.

Only a few aftershocks of the power of truth were quickly subsiding.

Xie Lan, exhausted to the brink of death, slumped to the ground and said hoarsely:

“What was that?”

Shen Ye’s heart pounded.

What the hell, it was a snatch!

The other party had snatched the truth that Xie Lan had awakened and vanished instantly.

“It’s fine, I’ll find him.”

Shen Ye pressed his hand into the void and let out a low cry:

“Door!”

The Spirit Gate instantly opened.

—The other party hadn’t completely escaped, so crossing the “distance between them” with this gate was entirely possible!

“Please stay, Your Excellency.”

Shen Ye drew his Tuyu Blade, stepped through the gate, and stood before a shadow.

Almost at the same moment!

“Watch out!”

Uncle Seven also rushed over, his figure flashing to block in front of Shen Ye.

As for Xie Lan—

He stood across the gate, watching the two figures inside and the gigantic being opposite them, a look of bewilderment on his face.

“What is… this?”

Xie Lan couldn’t help but say.

Opposite Shen Ye and Uncle Seven was a rock giant over seven meters tall.

Its body was entirely composed of various treasures.

At this moment, it had not expected to be blocked by anyone, and for a moment it seemed somewhat at a loss.

Taking advantage of this, Shen Ye took a step back.

He passed through the Spirit Gate and returned to the courtyard, looking somewhat nervous.

“What was that?”

Xie Lan asked.

“I’m not sure, but that place is incredible, and my current body isn’t strong enough, so I don’t dare to go over there,” Shen Ye said.

—The Land of Truth!

The other side was actually the underground mines of the Land of Truth!

Twenty-one ultimate creations were dug out from there.

The same applied to Uncle Seven.

—Why would the monster here snatch Xie Lan’s Dharma Aspect item?

Unless—

An answer was imminent.

Shen Ye was also startled by his own guess.

Across the door.

Uncle Seven instantly transformed, his entire being becoming a glowing entity dozens of meters tall, and boomed:

“Hand over the treasure you stole, and I’ll spare your life.”

“Otherwise—”

“Don’t blame me for eating you whole!”

A cultivator of Truth Stage 17!

His majesty and aura permeated the entire mine shaft; the other party didn’t even dare to resist!

The rock giant took two steps back, mumbled something, bent down to place an object on the ground, and then slowly retreated.

It carefully backed away, leaving this section of the mine, gradually disappearing into the distance.

Until it was completely out of sight—

The glowing entity, dozens of meters tall, rapidly shrank, transforming back into Uncle Seven.

He picked up the item from the ground and quickly stepped through the door.

“Quick! Disperse your door!”

Uncle Seven said, exhausted.

Shen Ye immediately dissolved the door.

Uncle Seven tossed an item onto the table, then slumped into a reclining chair, panting:

“My strength is still far from recovered; I just turned all my power into aura to scare it.”

“It was a lucky success.”

“What exactly was that rock giant?” Shen Ye asked.

“A Truth Tier 15 Treasure Giant, usually likes to carry various treasures on its body and absorb their power to sustain itself,” Uncle Seven said.

Treasures…

Shen Ye looked at the object on the table.

He saw that it was a pale purple fan, looking ordinary, like a souvenir fan sold at a tourist attraction.

However, lines of faint glowing text appeared beside the fan:

“Fan of Mountains, Rivers, and Society.”

“Truth Tier 1, Treasure, can grow, intrinsic weapon.”

“Effect: Only its owner can know.”

Xie Lan picked up the fan and laughed:

“It’s it!”

“I can feel it, that’s what was about to appear at that time!”

He used to use a fan.

At this moment, he opened the fan and fanned it slightly—

*Bang!*

A soft sound.

Xie Lan instantly transformed into an unfamiliar man.

With another fan.

He changed back into Nangong Sirui.

“Is it a transformation-type truth treasure?” Shen Ye asked.

“Yes, it can change into anything—it’s too powerful—but this is indeed not a Dharma Aspect,” Xie Lan said.

Shen Ye closed his eyes, then opened them again, trying his best to remain calm.

A person.

If their soul went to the Void of Truth, they could activate a Dharma Aspect and increase their strength.

But if they lived in reality—

They could actually directly activate their intrinsic Truth Treasure!

Since Xie Lan could do this, what about others?

Those powerful individuals who returned from the Void of Truth should also be able to awaken their intrinsic Truth Treasure!

This was truly extraordinary.

He and Uncle Seven exchanged glances.

“You try it too.”

Uncle Seven said.

“I… the thing is, I don’t know what the trigger for me to awaken my intrinsic Truth Treasure is,” Shen Ye said.

—If he could also awaken his intrinsic Truth Treasure, then the above conjecture would be confirmed!

“Like him, do something you’re best at.”

Uncle Seven suggested.

His best skill…

No.

Xie Lan’s best skill was actually the Yaksha传承’s cultivation techniques.

Acting was just his recognized identity and skill in the mundane world.

Recognized in the mundane world…

Shen Ye felt a vein throb in his forehead, looking unwilling. He took out his phone, swiped a few times this way and that, then sat there motionless.

“You try it too, why? Not interested?” Xie Lan asked in confusion.

“Intrinsic Truth Treasures are good things; they can grow with you, and in some dangerous places, they can even save your life,” Uncle Seven also advised.

“I know—I’m trying now,” Shen Ye said impatiently.

He sat there, gulping down tea.

—Other than that, he did nothing.

Xie Lan and Uncle Seven were curious, but then they saw Shen Ye’s phone screen light up.

A phone call.

Shen Ye casually picked up the phone and pressed the answer button.

“Is this Mr. Shen Ye?”

“Yes.”

“We have received your job application, and we have reviewed your past sales performance.”

“Yes.”

“You are indeed a golden salesperson. Can you start tomorrow?”

“Yes.”

Shen Ye said this, and suddenly felt something in his heart. He abruptly reached out and drew something from the void—

He also drew out a treasure!

That’s right!

Back in the mundane world, he was a salesman!

There was nothing he couldn’t sell!
