Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 542

Clang!

Glasses clinked together.

Shen Ye drank it all, put down his glass, and smiled,

“Thank you, Ambassador.”

“You’re welcome. I’m very satisfied with this transaction. By the way, if there’s anything else you wish to purchase, feel free to contact me at any time.” The blonde man raised his glass in acknowledgment.

The shackles were on the table.

—This time, I earned a pair of trial shackles and a small bag of high-grade gems.

The returns were indeed good.

Because of such high returns, he could sit down and have a drink with the client, hoping for future cooperation.

“I do have something I’d like to inquire about.”

Shen Ye said.

“Go ahead,” the blonde ambassador replied.

“Regarding some worlds that have been completely conquered by destruction, if we wanted to explore them and search for any remaining treasures, how would we go about that?” Shen Ye asked.

“You need to obtain the main god’s permission,” the blonde ambassador said.

Shen Ye was startled.

Is that even possible?

“I want to go to a certain world to find treasures,” Shen Ye said.

The blonde ambassador smiled and placed a card on the table, pushing it towards Shen Ye.

The card depicted a humanoid figure enveloped in black flames, looking down upon an endless sea of fire.

“The Main God’s Authorization Certificate.”

“Whoever holds this certificate can explore anything in worlds conquered by destruction, and their actions will not trigger the Catastrophe of Destruction nor will they be annihilated.”

“How much for this?” Shen Ye asked.

The blonde ambassador placed a pre-prepared list next to the card.

“For the highest quality gem trade, it requires two hundred and thirty gems.”

“Or, serve the Lord God for three years.”

“There’s also a popular matter recently, which is the newly discovered world of truth—”

“If you can obtain various truth artifacts, you can bring them to me for appraisal. As long as their value is high, you can directly exchange them with me.”

Shen Ye and Queen Destruction exchanged a glance.

The blonde ambassador continued:

“I know you’re all trying to find a way into the world of truth, and I happen to have tickets to that world…”

Two tickets appeared.

—They looked very much like concert tickets, with the image of a blue planet on them.

It was Earth.

Rows of beautiful bold letters were printed in front of the Earth:

“Here lie fragments of eternal creations, possibly even secrets to unlocking the eternal brain;”

“Even more importantly—”

“Countless truth artifacts are hidden here!”

“Truth artifacts have a myriad of peculiar uses; it’s worth coming here to find the ones truly suitable for you!”

“Folks, come and destroy this blue planet together!”

“Capture truth artifacts!”

“—Let’s rock this place!”

Shen Ye: “…”

He picked up a ticket and hesitated, then asked,

“False advertising?”

The blonde man, who had been calm all this time, suddenly became agitated:

“How could it be false advertising!”

“We do business, we don’t even deal with people with criminal records, so how could we ever create a false advertisement!”

Shen Ye picked up a ticket and said in a deep voice,

“As far as I know, this planet did escape from the eternal world into the world of truth, and it indeed contains many fragments of eternal creations.”

“But—”

“It doesn’t contain any truth artifacts!”

Queen Destruction immediately chimed in, “It’s fine if we buy two tickets, but if there are no truth artifacts, wouldn’t we have spent money and gone on a trip for nothing?”

Both of their expressions turned serious.

“Don’t worry, this intelligence was personally confirmed by the Main God.”

The blonde man puffed out his chest and explained word by word:

“As you can see, these tickets have long been printed and are now on sale. How could they be fake!”

“If such a thing were to go wrong, wouldn’t it damage the reputation of our Main God?”

That makes sense!

Then—

A sudden ominous premonition flashed through Shen Ye’s mind.

He almost couldn’t help but summon Earth and rush to the planet to see what was going on.

But he had to hold back.

If that were exposed to the other party, it would be over.

“Since it’s real, please give us two tickets. We choose to go in search of truth artifacts.”

Shen Ye said.

—With the tickets, his appearance on Earth would be legitimate, and it would also signify his participation in a “concert” initiated by a Destroyer Main God.

The Destruction faction wouldn’t suspect him!

“How much are the tickets?”

Queen Destruction followed up with a question.

The blonde man smiled and said,

“Hunting the Blue Planet is the hottest thing right now; your choice is very wise, and I think highly of you both—”

“Yun Nu is quite skilled in combat, and you possess various strange abilities.”

“But these tickets are actually identity proofs.”

“The Main Gods have discussed this and decided that each Main God can only send a limited number of subordinates to the Blue Planet.”

“This is to prevent the planet from being unable to withstand it and suddenly being destroyed.”

“That would be a loss.”

Shen Ye immediately understood and asked, “How do we officially join the Main God’s retinue?”

“I’m going to that planet. You two join my team, and we’ll discuss how to split the profits. What do you think?” the blonde man said.

“Deal!” Shen Ye said.

“Alright, then I need to go prepare. We’ll meet here in an hour.”

The blonde man was engulfed in black flames, which materialized into countless runes, forming a teleporter array, and he instantly warped away.

—In this history, only Shen Ye and Queen Destruction Yun Nu remained.

“How could Earth have truth artifacts…”

Shen Ye couldn’t help but murmur.

“I also heard about the eternal world. After its destruction, its last remnants fell into the world of truth, which is that planet,” Queen Destruction said.

“That’s right,” Shen Ye said.

“Shen Ye.” Queen Destruction’s expression was a little complicated.

“What?”

“Do you know that the world of truth originally had no human civilization, only various creations, and the species derived from them—”

“Even those species were branches of creations.”

“Only humans are distinctly different from creations—humans are a civilized race that can ‘possess’ creations!”

Hearing this, Shen Ye was shaken.

That’s right.

Even humans themselves would never allow themselves to be enslaved by others, nor would they allow themselves to become tools for others.

From the moment creations were born, their power was greater than that of humans.

So, after Earth crashed into the world of truth, there was a natural hostility between creations and humans from the beginning.

But!

But!

If humans and creations cooperated, they could unleash the full power of creations.

So the creations were in a contradictory state of mind.

It was very difficult to build trust between them.

Therefore—

What did the creations do on Earth?

He had to go back and see!

But he also needed to make some preparations.

For example—

“You protect me,” Shen Ye said.

“Alright,” Queen Destruction said.

Shen Ye stood still, his eyes slightly closed.

On Earth.

The young Shen Ye quietly appeared in the breakfast shop.

“Uncle Seven.”

“You’re back. Want to eat? I braised chicken drumsticks today,” Uncle Seven said with a grin.

“Sure—wait, this isn’t about eating. You need to hide first,” Shen Ye said.

“Hide? Why?”

“For your safety.”

He explained the situation, then adjusted the AI to handle everything related to the breakfast shop.

“Don’t worry, I’ll try to let you appear openly as soon as possible.”

Shen Ye said.

“Alright—but I also sensed that there seem to be other truth artifacts on this planet, which is truly strange,” Uncle Seven said.

He entered Shen Ye’s Dharma form, temporarily hiding.

…

An hour later.

Everything was settled.

The blonde man, dressed in a sharp suit and shiny black leather shoes, stood in Uncle Seven’s breakfast shop, looking somewhat surprised.

“You took over this shop? No, actually, we don’t need any cover identity. We are the Main God’s envoys.”

He said with a relaxed expression.

“But the situation is complicated now. It’s always safer to hide in the dark than to stand in the open,” Shen Ye said.

“Quite cautious—well, suit yourselves,” the blonde man said.

Shen Ye brought out three plates of chicken drumstick rice from the kitchen, accompanied by small bowls of rice wine, braised eggs, and sausages, and placed them on the table.

The food was tempting.

Queen Destruction sat across the table.

Shen Ye distributed the chopsticks.

Both of them began to eat.

“You’re not eating?” Shen Ye asked, pointing to the third plate of chicken drumstick rice.

“I don’t like human food—never mind, I’m going to meet with the emissaries of other Main Gods, and I’ll come back to find you later.”

The blonde man turned and walked out of the breakfast shop, disappearing instantly.

Queen Destruction took a sip of rice wine and whispered,

“He’s from the demon race, born in the abyss of destruction. He likes to eat all kinds of blazing flames, cruel and merciless, but he adheres strictly to transactional rules. He runs a huge business and is highly trusted by the Main God.”

“I still don’t know what to call him—or you can tell me what others call him,” Shen Ye said.

“Gallian,” Queen Destruction said.

“Gallian… Where do you think he went?” Shen Ye repeated, then asked.

Queen Destruction put down her chopsticks and said,

“Devils like to gather in lively and decadent places. What’s wrong? Are we going to follow him?”

“No, you don’t have to move.”

Shen Ye waved his hand and directed his words into the void:

“Did you hear that? That person was named Gallian. You’ve seen his appearance and build. Go find him and see what he’s doing.”

No sooner had he spoken.

Countless voices echoed throughout his body:

“Since it’s a powerful devil, he must have a way to avoid my surveillance. After all, technology in this era is still too backward, and surveillance methods are only the simplest ones.”

AI!

It was brought back to the world of truth by Shen Ye and had already settled on Earth!

Queen Destruction, who was drinking rice wine, was startled and looked at Shen Ye with suspicion:

“What are you wearing?”

She asked.

Shen Ye trembled all over.

Immediately, dozens of mobile phones flew out and were neatly arranged on the table.

He calmly continued to gnaw on the chicken drumstick, his mouth dripping with oil, then said,

“Backwardness is actually a good thing.”

“Because the more advanced you are, the more easily enemies become vigilant and defensive.”

“But if you are extremely backward…”

“Enemies who know this well might become arrogant.”

“Wait and see, maybe there’s a chance.”

He then lowered his head again, continuing to eat the braised pork piled next to the chicken drumstick.

—Strictly speaking, chicken drumstick rice doesn’t come with braised pork.

But Shen Ye saw that Uncle Seven had prepared some, so he added a heaped layer of it.

The rice wine was also very refreshing.

Both of them ate contentedly.

On the other side.

Gallian left Uncle Seven’s breakfast shop, swiftly soared through the sky, flying over the Pacific Ocean.

He casually threw a recently departed plane into the sea, enjoyed the scene of the plane crashing into the ocean, and then turned to continue flying forward.

America.

A bustling city.

Bar.

Gallian pushed the door open and walked in, seating himself at the bar.

The bartender glanced at him and said softly,

“You carry many souls crying out in pain.”

“When you’re out on business, you have to have some flair, don’t you?” Gallian adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses.

Another person sitting at the bar said,

“How hypocritical. You clearly love killing, yet every time you do business, you demand that the other party has no criminal record.”

Gallian sighed and grumbled,

“I finally managed to kill these few hundred people, and now I’m being ridiculed by you. I’ve been enduring a great deal.”

The bartender handed him a glass of burning green flame.

Gallian drained it in one gulp, then looked around at the others.

“Shall we begin?”

A tall, white-haired man rumbled.

The atmosphere became lively.

Several people at the bar pulled out cards from their pockets.

The bartender filled their glasses with various drinks, then lowered his voice and asked,

“Should I clear the room?”

“No, not at all, this atmosphere is perfect—besides, how can mere mortals hinder us?”

The tall, white-haired man said.

Everyone looked around.

There were quite a few people in the bar, sitting in booths whispering, or dancing on the dance floor.

A girl was singing.

Two guitarists accompanied her.

“This kind of bar would be boring if it were empty,” another person chimed in.

The bartender scanned everyone, his gaze finally resting on Gallian.

Gallian, however, was looking down at his cards, casually saying,

“Let’s just leave it like this, it’s fine. The civilization on this planet is extremely backward, let us experience this primitive sense of the era.”

The bar wasn’t actually that big.

The surveillance video equipment was also very old.

The guns and mobile phones people carried weren’t necessarily the most advanced.

In fact.

As emissaries of the Main God, who would care about these issues?

So it was settled.

Everyone pulled out their cards, some smoking cigars, some drinking alcohol, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

The dim lights illuminated the bar.

“I’ll go first.”

Gallian drew a card and placed it on the table.

The card revealed Shen Ye’s image.

“Among the cowardly slaves, there are also good ones—”

“This person possesses ‘touch of gold’ type power. Although I’m not entirely sure what it is specifically, it’s certainly in that category.”

“Combat power… should be just average.”

After Gallian finished speaking, he looked at the others.

Everyone pondered for a moment.

The tall, white-haired man drew a card and placed it on the table.

This card depicted a golden treasure chest, overflowing with various weapons.

“Endless Blades Chest, every day you can find three masterless, rare weapons from across the myriad realms.”

This card, placed on the table, immediately drew several burning gazes.

—This was indeed an extremely valuable card!

“The value of this card is quite high, perfect for trading for your slave.”

“But you need to add a little more.”

The tall, white-haired man said.

Gallian pondered for a moment, then drew another card and placed it on the table.

Queen Destruction, Yun Nu, stood above the dark abyss, looking out from the card.

“The only human whose soul was corroded, yet still managed to crawl out of the abyss. Even the Main God found it very peculiar.”

Gallian stacked this card with Shen Ye’s card and pushed them towards the other party:

“This should be enough for your Endless Blades Chest.”

The tall, white-haired man thought for a moment and nodded, “Alright.”

“The usual, I can’t show my face, you’ll have to send someone to receive them yourself,” Gallian said with a smile.

Everyone chuckled.

“You, you—” The tall, white-haired man also laughed, “Still love playing the good guy so much, even selling others out, you make them count your money.”

“Deal?” Gallian spread his hands.

“Deal.”

Everyone began to draw new cards, conducting the next round of business.

A few minutes later.

The other side of the Pacific.

A familiar city.

Uncle Seven’s breakfast shop.

Tap tap tap—

Someone knocked on the door.

“Who is it?” Shen Ye’s voice rang out.

“A customer,” the person outside muffled.

“Oh, a customer, welcome!”

Footsteps hurried.

The next moment.

A sharp white line flashed in an instant.

—World-Shaking Slash!

Clang!

The saber was sheathed.

Shen Ye’s lazy voice resounded:

“Queen, help clean up the floor, thanks.”

Whoosh—

Black flames rapidly scorched, burning the few corpses outside the door to ashes.
