Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 540

Darkness.

In the endless darkness.

A door suddenly appeared, violently forced open by a powerful force.

Shen Ye flew out, rolled on the ground, and then stood up.

“What is this place?”

Queen of Destruction asked.

“Truth Land,” Shen Ye replied.

He looked back.

Behind him was a towering mining mountain.

A little further back was his mining war-mech factory.

Ahead was endless darkness.

The underground mine tunnel was dim and dead silent; without exploration, one would never know what lay ahead.

“This is not a good choice.”

Uncle Seven said.

“Why so?” Queen of Destruction inquired.

Uncle Seven said, “The Truth Land is a place of endless unknowns. Not only do we face danger, but we also have to be on guard against the monsters of destruction at all times. The tunnels are narrow, making it hard to escape—”

“I’m only staying here temporarily,” Shen Ye said.

It was indeed very dangerous here.

The cat, dog, and bronze figure had once crossed the mine mountain to explore the depths of darkness, but the darkness ahead hid a path they dared not take.

“It’s fine,” the Ship of Destruction suddenly spoke, “the three of us will go with you. Ultimately, we must find a way out; we can’t be trapped here.”

—It was once the third-ranked ultimate creation!

With its strong support, the Queen of Destruction and Uncle Seven were both invigorated.

“You didn’t hand me over to the Lord of the Withered Scepter, so I will naturally reciprocate.”

Ship of Destruction said.

Shen Ye, however, said, “But I really wasn’t planning to explore here.”

He pointed above his head.

A pale blue planet silently appeared.

Earth!

Since obtaining that pink brain badge, he could control Earth and bring it along.

However, it wasn’t just Earth.

A star emitting a blazing energy wave followed closely.

That was the sun.

Earth…

Although he had become the Lord of Earth, he felt no sense of being a “deity.”

On the contrary.

He even felt a great sense of responsibility, so heavy that it was suffocating.

—The lives of everyone depended on this planet.

The reason he had been teleported here just now was because—

Shen Ye’s eyes glowed with golden light.

3, 2, 1!

He abruptly pressed his hand against the mine tunnel, opening a door, and passed through it.

Boom—

A deafening sound came from behind.

A scorching beam of destructive light struck the original mine tunnel, obliterating everything.

On the other side of the door.

Shen Ye landed, standing on a pile of solid truth ore.

—Once the door opened, he traversed a long distance, arriving at another mine tunnel thousands of miles away.

At this moment, he was still incredibly tense, the golden light in his eyes constantly shifting.

After “Flowing Sand Eye” evolved into “Puppet Strings of Fate,” while it gained the ability to manipulate the destiny of targets, it still retained its original pupil techniques!

“Here it comes!”

Shen Ye opened another door and rushed in.

As soon as he left, a beam of light seven or eight meters thick pierced through a long distance, illuminating the entire dark mine tunnel.

—Boom!!!

Another strike!

Everything within a hundred miles was annihilated.

And Shen Ye, passing through the door, appeared in another mine tunnel a thousand miles away.

The golden light in his eyes faded.

A trembling female voice sounded: “Are we unable to escape?”

—It was the Queen of Destruction.

She had witnessed the monster’s power and was now prepared to face death.

“Even if we can’t run, we must,” Shen Ye interjected, “It’s gradually piquing Augustus’s interest. The next attack will still take three minutes to arrive.”

The Queen of Destruction immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Uncle Seven also muttered, “Almost died…”

“Under such an attack, you would all die; only I could survive,” the Ship of Destruction proudly declared.

“Can you consistently withstand an attack of that magnitude?” the Queen of Destruction immediately asked.

If this ship could withstand it, they would be safe!

“I can take one more hit before I die,” the Ship of Destruction said.

“That’s not much better,” the Queen immediately lost interest.

Shen Ye said nothing, just looking up above his head.

Earth floated silently and motionlessly.

Billions of people.

Living their ordinary lives.

They knew nothing, but the next moment, if he died, they would also die.

“Must first survive.”

“No, it should be—”

“Our most important task is for all of us to live.”

Shen Ye said slowly.

To live.

In the face of the Catastrophe of Destruction, this was indeed everyone’s most fundamental need.

“To live, huh…”

The Queen of Destruction whispered, looking lost in thought, as if recalling something.

Uncle Seven murmured:

“The breakfast shop… is still very interesting. I also want to continue living.”

The Ship of Destruction rumbled, “Not only must we live, but we also cannot be slaves to others. I hate being controlled the most.”

Very good.

Everyone reached a consensus.

“You are all experts,” Shen Ye asked, “I want to know, can Augustus withstand that destruction monster?”

“Impossible,” Uncle Seven said.

“Absolutely impossible,” the Queen of Destruction stated.

Shen Ye looked towards the Ship of Destruction.

The Ship of Destruction rumbled:

“Let me go. I will seek out other ultimate creations and inform them of what is happening here.”

“What will happen when they know?” Shen Ye asked.

The Ship of Destruction said:

“As the saying goes, ‘when the lips are gone, the teeth are cold.’ They will go to help the Withered Scepter.”

“This will buy you time.”

Amazing!

You, indeed, live up to your rank as third!

“What I truly need most is time,” Shen Ye chimed in, “I need to further refine my saber techniques, and the Parasitic Empress and the multi-layered universe also need more slumber to recover their strength.”

“Then I’m leaving,” the Ship of Destruction said.

“Mm.”

A huge metal ship phantom appeared from behind Shen Ye, quickly traversing the dark mine tunnel and disappearing.

Uncle Seven looked up as the ship thundered away, exclaiming,

“Still 1 minute?”

“Yes,” Shen Ye said.

“Cunning old fox,” Uncle Seven commented.

—In 1 minute, the destruction monster’s long-range bombardment would strike again.

The Ship of Destruction had already fled.

And its reason for fleeing was so righteous that it was irrefutable.

This was also its formidable quality.

“The great war of the Truth Void is coming,” the Queen of Destruction sighed.

“Yes, we also need to hide quickly,” Shen Ye said.

“But where can we go?” Uncle Seven murmured.

Shen Ye fell into deep thought.

Dead Planet, Nightmare World, Truth Land.

—These were the places he could currently go.

If that monster was simply invincible, where should he hide?

No!

There was still one place!

As a doorkeeper—

He could go to the other side of the world barrier.

“Door.”

Shen Ye opened the Spirit Gate and stepped through.

—This was the other side of the door, the world where the Eternal Brain resided.

Everything was destroyed.

Even the AI was taken away by Shen Ye.

But today.

Shen Ye brought everything back here.

“Time’s up.”

Uncle Seven reminded him.

Shen Ye immediately summoned the door again.

The three held their breath and waited.

Could the destruction monster sense them through the “barrier” of two worlds?

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

A blazing column of destructive light pierced through the void, shooting from the depths of the endless darkness.

“Door!”

Shen Ye uttered a low cry.

He passed through the door and immediately returned to the Truth Void.

The light beam swept past him, striking the endless flesh and blood land, raising a sky-darkening blood mist.

—The attack still came!

“The next attack is in 5 minutes,” Shen Ye said.

The Queen of Destruction silently noted the time.

Uncle Seven, however, could no longer remain calm and spoke up:

“No, that’s not right. The barrier is an extremely powerful force, it should be effective, at least it shouldn’t be able to detect your location.”

“That’s what I thought too,” Shen Ye was also a bit puzzled.

“It’s not what you think—that monster’s power can move within any destroyed world. Once the Catastrophe of Destruction senses you, its attack will form within the Catastrophe and then kill you!” the Queen of Destruction said.

This was the world where the Eternal Brain was located.

—This world had long been completely occupied by destruction!

“This is too abnormal.”

Uncle Seven couldn’t help but sigh, beginning to seriously consider his aftermath.

Shen Ye’s eyes were slightly lowered, still contemplating how to escape.

“Respected Queen, what would happen if I released Earth?”

He asked.

“This is an already destroyed world, and the Great Tribulation can sense what’s happening here.”

The Queen of Destruction continued without hesitation: “The Catastrophe of Destruction will immediately descend, sweeping away all life on Earth, plunging it into endless destruction.”

Shen Ye nodded slightly.

Although the Eternal Brain was dead, it could still, by instinct, issue various anti-destruction missions, and the rewards were abundant.

He was truly reluctant to abandon it.

But there was no other way.

I want to lie low, but there isn’t a safe place to hide?

As Shen Ye was thinking, he suddenly saw a faint glow appear in the void, quickly condensing into small characters:

“Completed.”

Completed?

What was completed?

He stared blankly at the void, watching the continuous prompts appear:

“Door Element: Friendship, has been completely integrated into your Immovable Property Door: Endless Destruction Throne.”

“Due to compatibility, and with the help of the ‘Vampire Lord’ trait, the following transcendental evolution has occurred:”

“The Infinite Destruction Throne gained a new ability ‘Warm-blooded Comrades’.”

“Description: 1. You and your architectural guardian can swap each other’s abilities, limited to one item;”

“2. As your architectural guardian progresses, you will progress with them, and vice versa.”

Architectural guardian…

Isn’t that Xie Lan?

A flash of inspiration crossed Shen Ye’s mind.

“Queen, I have a very crucial question, please answer me truthfully.”

“Speak.”

“Does your civilization have any intelligence about destruction?”

“Of course, we were long prepared to fight destruction, but the result—”

“No need to mention that again. What’s important now is, in history, was there any world that was completely destroyed, not by the Catastrophe of Destruction itself, but solely by traitors from within that world?”

“A world destroyed by traitors? Yes, there were,” the Queen of Destruction said.

“Good.” Shen Ye clapped his hands, looking somewhat excited.

The Queen of Destruction, however, shook her head and sighed:

“You want to hide in a world where the Catastrophe of Destruction never descended?”

“Yes,” Shen Ye said.

“But after those worlds are destroyed, the Catastrophe will still enter and persist within them, just like the world of the Eternal Brain—there’s simply no way to hide inside,” the Queen of Destruction explained.

“What if it’s before the world is destroyed? At that moment, there are only traitors, no Catastrophe of Destruction,” Shen Ye said.

“Before the world is destroyed… that’s certainly possible, but what does that have to do with us?”

The Queen of Destruction was completely baffled.

“Let’s go,” Shen Ye said.

He activated the trait “Will Meet by Yáotái Moonlight,” placing Uncle Seven and the Queen of Destruction directly into his Dharma Form.

Then—

On the other side.

In the history of destruction.

Another Shen Ye, with shackles on his feet, hid in a ruined temple.

While drinking water, he made a hand seal.

Dharma Form Descends!

Amidst the illusory layers of light and shadow.

Uncle Seven and the Queen of Destruction walked out together.

“This is…”

The two looked around.

“In the history I am currently in, all the battles are fought by pawns of destruction…”

This Shen Ye said with a smile.

The Queen of Destruction looked at the shackles on his feet, then suddenly her eyes lit up and she spoke:

“So that’s it, you’re trapped in the history of destruction, so you can reach this moment!”

Shen Ye said:

“Yes—there’s still 1 minute until the other side’s attack arrives.”

1 minute.

Time passed quickly.

—The moment of re-examination had arrived!

The three stood still, holding their breath and waiting.

A moment later.

Nothing happened.

Success!

In a history where the Catastrophe of Destruction had not personally descended, the opponent’s attack could not reach!

“That’s great… I want to open a breakfast shop in this world.”

Uncle Seven muttered.

“Uncle Seven, you need to advance quickly. The breakfast shop can be opened later,” Shen Ye said helplessly.

“I’m almost at the next stage—I need to quickly complete some sacrifices!” Uncle Seven said.

“Then you might as well come back to Earth with me.”

Shen Ye looked at the Queen of Destruction.

The Queen of Destruction squatted down, staring at the shackles on his feet, and tapped them with her hand, saying:

“No doubt, these are the ultimate trial shackles of destruction. They will continuously issue tasks to you—”

“All destruction-related tasks.”

“So, while this world is still relatively intact, I also need to quickly return to Earth and get some things done,” Shen Ye said.

“Good, I’ll watch over you,” the Queen of Destruction nodded.

Shen Ye slowly sat down in the corner.

He looked up.

Earth immediately appeared above his head.

And the sun.

Wait—

There was also the moon.

What a wandering Earth this was.

It had even wandered into the history of destruction.

But at least it was far from the great battle in the Truth Void.

Now was the time to act quickly!

Shen Ye’s thought stirred—

In an instant.

On Earth.

Uncle Seven’s Breakfast Shop.

Shen Ye and Uncle Seven appeared together.

Uncle Seven breathed a sigh of relief and immediately went to the kitchen to check his ingredients.

Shen Ye casually placed a black phone on the coffee table, then sat on the sofa in the living room, quietly waiting.

Truth Phone.

This was his true spiritual treasure.

“Trigger conditions:”

“1. The other party has an extremely strong desire to talk to you;”

“2. Your conversation has a certain chance to rewrite fate.”

At such a critical moment—

Someone should want to talk to him, and such a conversation must be able to change everyone’s destiny.

—Because the destiny of Earth had already changed.

As long as he didn’t die, Earth wouldn’t be destroyed!

Come on.

Who’s coming?

Who will join my Throne of Destruction?

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

Ding-a-ling!

The phone rang.

Shen Ye picked up the phone, and a cold female voice echoed from within:

“Las Vegas, Bellagio Hotel, top floor presidential suite.”

“Who are you?” Shen Ye asked.

“You’ll know when you get here,” the female voice said, then hung up.

Shen Ye slowly put down the phone.

Uncle Seven poked his head out of the kitchen and asked:

“Do you want me to go with you?”

“No need,” Shen Ye shook his head, “They’re all people from Earth; their strength can’t be that great.”

“But I heard the woman’s voice, it seemed a bit angry,” Uncle Seven said.

“Angry? Why didn’t I hear that?” Shen Ye was slightly surprised.

“Perhaps I was mistaken,” Uncle Seven turned and went back to the kitchen.

Shen Ye pressed his hand in the void.

The Spirit Gate quietly descended.

He pushed open the door and stepped in, immediately arriving at the presidential suite on the top floor of the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas.

From here, he could overlook the entire cityscape of Las Vegas.

A tall woman held a wine glass, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and drained the wine in one gulp.

“You’re here.”

“Yes, I’m here.”

“Your teacher extracted a lot from that insider, and everyone realized we all have true bodies in a world called ‘Earth’.”

“Indeed,” Shen Ye nodded.

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

“I—”

Clang!

A sword chimed.

The longsword unleashed dozens of sharp sword rays in the room.

Shen Ye stood still, speaking gently:

“I am being hunted and haven’t escaped danger even now. It was truly out of necessity that I returned to Earth.”

The sword.

It pointed at the tip of his nose.

Just a hair’s breadth away from slicing off his nose.

He didn’t move.

Neither did the sword.

“My true body on Earth is like this,” the woman looked at him, with an indescribable meaning in her bright eyes, “Completely different from me, and not strong enough, but if I had time…”

“Precisely, I bought us some time,” Shen Ye said.

“Is it still not too late?”

“Even if it’s too late, we have to try. Waiting for death is not something I like to do.”

“Then—”

“Fight alongside me.”

“Hmm, that’s more like it.”

The longsword retracted.

At the same time, Shen Ye’s mind stirred.

In the void, dense specks of light suddenly appeared, forming tiny characters:

“Congratulations.”

“You have enlightened a new Guardian for your Truth Creation, ‘Endless Destruction Throne’.”

“You and the second person you enlightened both possess the power of the ‘Destruction’ system:”

“Destruction Siphon.”

“This item is the same as the first person you enlightened.”

“You both possess the effect of ‘Warm-blooded Comrades’.”

“Your building ‘Truth Cannon’ has begun reconstruction and will undergo mutation towards the power of ‘Destruction’.”

“The guardian of this building is:”

“Xiao Mengyu.”

Shen Ye glanced at it and asked:

“What is your identity here?”

“I own several casinos, have many subordinates, and have eliminated quite a few rivals.” The tall woman’s voice still held a natural pride, but the coldness had completely dissipated.

“Good, since you’re experienced, then it’s perfect for you to participate in what comes next,” Shen Ye said.

“What is it?”

“Get stronger—you get stronger, and I will get stronger.”

Shen Ye grabbed Xiao Mengyu with one hand and pressed against the void with the other, opening a door.

Bang!

He opened it for a moment, then closed the door again.

“?” Xiao Mengyu.

“Do you feel anything?” Shen Ye asked.

“No.”

“Again.”

The door suddenly opened, then closed again.

“What about this time?”

“…I think so.”

Shen Ye looked at the void.

Sure enough, small characters floated there:

“Through a brief connection, Xiao Mengyu received a mission issued by the Eternal Brain:”

“Guardian of Legacy.”

“—From the residual instincts of the Eternal Brain.”

Yes!

The Eternal Brain would issue missions and infuse origin power into professionals!

This was the fastest way to become stronger.

“Who is giving me this mission? Is it reliable?”

Xiao Mengyu asked with a frown.

“Don’t worry, it’s the Main God.”

“Main God?”

“Yes, complete the mission and you can get stronger, super reliable.”

“…”
