Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 545

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

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

“The above conditions have been met.”

“Truth Phone activated!”

Shen Ye spread his hand.

A black phone was pulled out of the void by him, vibrating constantly and making a “ding-a-ling” sound.

A line of small text appeared on the phone screen:

“Xu Xingke calling.”

It’s the teacher!

Shen Ye answered the phone.

“Teacher?”

Xu Xingke’s voice rang out:

“I’ve sent you two cards, you’ll receive them in a few minutes, use them well.”

“Yes, teacher—how is the Death Planet now?”

“Everyone has awakened their soul memories, and their identities are different from those on Earth, so there’s some chaos, naturally.”

Xu Xingke’s voice carried a hint of a smile as he continued:

“But these are all minor issues; being able to survive is already a very good outcome.”

Shen Ye remembered something and quickly invited:

“Teacher, since you’ve awakened your soul, can you come and help me guard a ruined building?”

He explained the situation.

Xu Xingke agreed without much hesitation.

—The agreement was successful.

In an instant.

Lines of glowing small text appeared in the void:

“Congratulations.”

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

“You and the second person you enlightened both possess the effects of ‘Destruction Extraction’ and ‘Loyal Comrade’.”

“Your current building ‘Inquisition’ has begun reconstruction and will undergo mutation towards the ‘Destruction’ side until it is completely built.”

“The guardian of the building is:”

“Xu Xingke.”

“Furthermore:”

“You are already building the third Destruction building. With this achievement, you will receive a new keyword after today.”

—Finally, I can get keywords again!

Shen Ye was almost overjoyed!

Now, only by building new structures or upgrading existing ones can keywords be obtained.

It’s just too difficult.

“Well done, Shen Ye, those garbage creations and bastard main gods should be left to fight among themselves, but that’s still not satisfying enough—”

Xu Xingke’s voice was tinged with regret:

“I won’t say more. I need to maintain the basic order of the Death Planet. Later, have Xiao Mengyu and Nangong Sirui go there together to complete missions and improve their strength.”

“Yes, teacher.”

“The two cards should be arriving soon. Eat one, and place the other in the appropriate position—it will tell you the location.”

“Understood.”

“I’m hanging up.”

“Wait a moment, teacher, what was your true identity before?” Shen Ye asked with some curiosity.

“Emperor,” Xu Xingke said briefly, “unified a multi-ethnic nation, then went into hiding and lived as a recluse.”

The call ended.

Shen Ye held the phone and couldn’t help but sigh.

—As expected of the teacher.

What was curious was—

What exactly were those two cards the teacher repeatedly urged him about? And what were their uses?

After a few breaths.

Indeed, two cards appeared from the void, silently landing in Shen Ye’s hand.

One card immediately cried out:

“It’s time, take me to the imperial tomb, use your door ability—now!”

There was only a “?” on this card.

No explanation.

But since it’s a card given by the teacher, I’ll follow the instructions.

“What imperial mausoleum?”

Shen Ye asked.

The card whispered, “In your country, in the northwest region, the coordinates are inconvenient to say, I’ll transmit them to you telepathically.”

It reported a set of coordinates.

Shen Ye’s brows relaxed.

As long as there are specific coordinates—

The Gate of Spirit Communication can cross directly.

“Door.” Shen Ye whispered.

A door silently appeared in the void.

He stepped over.

Indeed, it was pitch black underground.

Nothing could be seen.

Only that card glowed faintly.

“Just place me on the stone wall in front of you, the great Emperor will appreciate your actions.”

The card cried out.

Shen Ye followed the instructions, placing the card on the stone wall.

At this moment.

Countless images flashed across the card.

Magnificent palaces.

Towering buildings.

Immortal mountains and giant turtles.

Countless immortals amidst falling blossoms.

Everything, flashing by in an instant.

The card slowly moved deeper into the stone wall, disappearing from view.

Only one sentence remained:

“Go, child, there’s nothing for you here.”

Shen Ye shrugged, turned and stepped through the door, leaving this mysterious place.

There was still one card left in his hand.

On this card was a green pill, surrounded by swirling purple energy.

It was truly beautiful.

Faint white text quietly appeared in the void:

“Pill of Immortality.”

“Unknown wonder, one-time card.”

“Description: Consume it, and you will experience a psychedelic journey for a certain period, thereby piercing through reality and receiving the guidance of ‘immortality’.”

“—When things are about to go wrong, taking the pill in advance offers a glimmer of hope.”

“—An achievement of a legendary emperor’s alchemy.”

“—Do not rely on it; it is merely an aid. You must still give it your all.”

Should I use it?

The teacher said I could eat it.

Shen Ye pondered for a moment, then flicked the card.

Bang.

The green pill landed in Shen Ye’s hand, and he ate it whole.

On the other side.

Ruin of the End Castle.

The other Shen Ye suddenly felt something, looking towards the void.

A line of small light characters quietly appeared:

“You have consumed the Pill of Immortality.”

“You have gained the ‘Psychedelic’ effect.”

“Starting now.”

Shen Ye was puzzled when he suddenly saw several cards appear before him.

They were “Eating,” “Parasitism,” “Disorder,” “Natural Evolution,” “Pupil Techniques,” “Destruction Extraction,” “Vampire Lord,” and so on.

Abilities and keywords, all transformed into cards, floated motionlessly.

This is—

An illusion?

But what good would such an illusion be for the current situation?

The surrounding space suddenly rippled.

Before Shen Ye could do anything, he was directly enveloped by the power of space and torn through the void.

……

Earth.

It was late at night.

Uncle Seven’s breakfast shop.

—It’s unclear what method the God of Destruction used, but the envoys and Queen of Destruction Ning Yunyu all returned to their original states.

As soon as Shen Ye appeared, he was pulled aside by Ning Yunyu.

“Gallian requested your transfer here; he said you’ve rested enough and hands are needed now.”

Ning Yunyu secretly transmitted.

Shen Ye was still a little bewildered and couldn’t help but glance at Gallian.

Gallian smiled at him and said loudly:

“A blessing in disguise, fellow, perhaps we will soon be working together.”

“?” Shen Ye.

“Your intelligence delivery was very timely. I heard the Main God is considering setting up a messenger specifically for intelligence, and you are being considered,” Ning Yunyu transmitted again.

“What does this have to do with Gallian?” Shen Ye asked.

“Once you’re in power, you’ll immediately know what he’s done… He has to kill you before you rise to power,” Ning Yunyu said.

—Previously, Shen Ye had pulled out his phone and live-monitored the Main God’s envoys playing cards at the bar.

At that time.

Ning Yunyu and he watched the whole process together.

Both of them already knew about Gallian’s betrayal.

“Quite ridiculous.”

Shen Ye transmitted.

“But there’s nothing we can do,” Ning Yunyu said.

Those who betray others, out of fear of their crimes being exposed, must go a step further—

—Kill the betrayed!

Gallian walked over, patted Shen Ye on the shoulder and said:

“I specifically recommended you, hoping that you will distinguish yourself in this war, gain the Main God’s favor, and be promoted early!”

“Lord Gallian.”

Shen Ye smiled and cupped his hands, saying, “I am merely a loyal attendant to the Queen, and I dare not overstep my position.”

“No need to say more, this is your mission this time, go, and complete it well,” Gallian said.

He handed a token to Ning Yunyu and turned back to the other envoys.

The envoys sat around the coffee table in the living room, constantly flipping tokens and tossing them into the void.

—This is distributing various battle commands.

Countless servants of destruction descended upon the Earth, heading into battle according to orders.

Shen Ye and Ning Yunyu exchanged glances.

Ning Yunyu activated the token.

A piece of information instantly appeared in both their minds:

“Proceed to the church in the western part of the city and establish a teleportation array there until the Destruction Artisan Corps on the other side of the array arrives.”

“You are to guard the Artisan Corps, ensuring they can safely erect the Main God’s divine power statue.”

“Disobedience will result in obliteration.”

“Task failure will result in obliteration.”

“Begin!”

Ning Yunyu’s expression was a bit complex, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

Shen Ye, however, acutely sensed the hidden power fluctuation on the token.

… The hierarchy is very high.

And it seemed to possess the potential for immediate eruption at any moment.

“Could it be the power of the Main God?”

He thought to himself, reaching out and pulling Ning Yunyu, leading her out.

Such power, monitoring everything, capable of obliterating anything at any moment, was absolutely beyond question.

The two closed the door and left the breakfast shop.

In the living room.

Gallian’s smile gradually faded.

He sighed, slowly took out a few small bags, and placed them on the table.

The other envoys didn’t even look; they just reached out, each took a bag, and continued to busy themselves.

Only Gallian showed a pained expression and sighed again, shaking his head:

“Let’s just resolve it all at once.”

A few minutes later.

West City, church.

Shen Ye and Ning Yunyu stood outside the black iron fence, hidden in the shadows of the trees, looking into the courtyard.

There was no movement in the church.

“It must be a trap.”

Ning Yunyu transmitted telepathically.

“Not necessarily, it could also be an ambush,” Shen Ye said.

He never thought there would be such workplace infighting even in the Destruction faction, where a single wrong move could be fatal.

The other party is high and mighty, and their orders must be obeyed.

This was a bit vexing…

Shen Ye composed himself and was about to enter the church to investigate, when he suddenly saw the cards floating around him begin to move.

—Strictly speaking, these cards were all illusions created after he ate that pill.

But they landed in front of Shen Ye, jumping a bit in sequence.

Finally.

The other cards disappeared.

Several Truth Element cards, however, appeared before Shen Ye.

Shen Ye was stunned.

That’s right.

Although these were illusions, they were also the guidance of “immortality.”

What were they trying to remind him of with such actions?

Truth elements…

Yes.

He indeed possessed these elemental powers, but he had never used them.

Nor did he quite know how to use them.

Uncle Seven’s voice suddenly rang in his ear:

“Something is coming. Be careful, it’s not human, nor is it from the Destruction faction.”

The voice of the Ship of Destruction eagerly followed: “It’s a creation!”

“—Damn it, this place has already been occupied by truth creations!”

Before the words fell.

Dense humanoid puppets spread all around, surrounding Shen Ye and Ning Yunyu.

In the plaza in front of the church.

A giant wooden man slowly rose from the ground.

“Followers of destruction.”

“You are about to perish here.”

It plucked a massive wooden club from the void and raised it high—

“Wait a moment.”

Shen Ye shouted, “I am from the Truth Creations side, you’ve made a mistake.”

The void stirred.

Uncle Seven floated in mid-air, emitting a vast white light, and declared loudly:

“Stop, he’s one of us!”

The giant wooden man hesitated for a moment, looked at Shen Ye, then at Uncle Seven, and finally his gaze fell on Ning Yunyu.

“This person is full of destructive power; they are definitely not one of us.”

The wooden head rumbled.

Uncle Seven couldn’t help but look at Shen Ye.

Shen Ye calmly said, “This is my captive. I captured her and learned that the Destruction faction was going to occupy this place, so I rushed over.”

The wooden man held the stick, motionless for a long time.

It seemed nothing was wrong.

Yet it also seemed wrong.

If this human male was truly that strong—

“Prove it to me!”

“If you can defeat me with the power of truth, then I will believe everything you say.”

The wooden man said.

Shen Ye drew his Teardrop Blade, his heart stirring.

That’s right.

He had always used the power of the Dharma Manifestation.

He had absorbed these ultimate elements, why not try using them once?

His mind stirred.

All his power immediately activated the elemental force of “disorder.”

In an instant.

All the wooden puppets surrounding him went wild, running and jumping erratically, crashing into each other and falling in a heap.

The knife.

Was raised.

Because “eating” was too conspicuous, he only merged the “parasitism” element with his sword technique.

—Blade Art: Eternal Regret.

The long blade, unlaunched, nevertheless bloomed with countless crimson threads, disappearing into the darkness, its destination unknown.

“It’s the great ‘Parasitism’ element…”

The wooden man put away his stick and said respectfully, “Such a powerful truth element, please don’t use it on me, I beg you.”

“As you wish.” Shen Ye sheathed his blade.

Seeing this, the wooden man breathed a sigh of relief, then pulled out a bell from the void and placed it in front of Shen Ye.

“If you encounter enemies from the Destruction faction and can’t defeat them, you can shake this bell.”

“Powerful Truth Creations will come to assist.”

With that, it prepared to turn and leave.

“Wait—how many comrades can come to help?” Shen Ye quickly asked.

“Hundreds, even thousands. After all, we’ve been ambushed on this planet for countless years,” the wooden man said.

It nodded at Shen Ye and disappeared into the night.

Shen Ye withdrew his gaze, looking at the bell.

—Luckily, he didn’t fight the other party head-on.

Once the opponent shook the bell, who knows how many Truth Creations would be summoned!

Facing that magnitude of Truth Creations, it would be impossible to fight them all; he could only run.

Then, the mission would fail.

Failure would result in obliteration!

Shen Ye sighed.

If he didn’t have the power of truth elements to prove his identity—

This was a death trap with no escape!

Quite ruthless, Gallian.

Shen Ye put away the bell, had Uncle Seven guard outside, and then brought Ning Yunyu into the church.

“With Uncle Seven guarding, it’s enough to confuse those Truth Creations,” Shen Ye said.

“Hmm, I’ll set up the teleportation array.”

Ning Yunyu said, then immediately formed hand seals and began chanting a spell.

Shen Ye stood beside her, holding his long blade, quietly guarding.

Beep beep beep!

The phone suddenly rang.

It was an alarm.

It was currently 11:57 PM.

In three minutes, it would be a new day.

He should be able to obtain a keyword.

After all, the third building was almost complete…

Shen Ye thought silently.

Not long after.

The teleportation array was completed.

A strong destructive fluctuation emanated.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

No one teleported over yet.

But the teleportation fluctuations became increasingly intense, enough to attract—

“Barrier: Power Seal.”

A voice came from the void.

It was the Ship of Destruction!

It appeared behind Shen Ye, releasing a sealing barrier that confined the fluctuations within the church, preventing them from spreading further.

“Thank you.”

Shen Ye said.

The Ship of Destruction, however, laughed, full of sarcasm, saying:

“I’ve already seen your death outcome, Shen Ye. Have you seen it yourself?”

“Indeed,” Shen Ye glanced at the teleportation array and said calmly, “There’s no Artisan Corps on the other side of the teleportation array, is there?”

“No Artisan Corps, so you can’t complete the mission,” the Ship of Destruction said.

—Mission failed, obliteration!

From the very beginning, everything was already destined!

Shen Ye was about to speak when he suddenly saw lines of glowing small text appear in the void:

“Your door comes with a keyword evaluation ability.”

“Currently, your door abilities have developed into: ‘Gate of Spirit Communication’ and ‘Throne of Endless Destruction’.”

“Within the Throne, you have completed the construction of three buildings.”

Three?

Wait a minute—

How did it happen so fast?

The inquisitors also finished?

Shen Ye was a little confused, and just as he was about to check his Truth Creations, he saw the glowing small words refresh quickly:

“You have completed the construction of the ‘Mining Armory,’ ‘Truth Cannon,’ and ‘Inquisition,’ and merged them with the dual powers of destruction and truth.”

“Congratulations.”

“As a result, you have received a brand new keyword today:”

“Most Familiar Stranger.”

“Truth/Destruction Dual-Directional Keyword, Fifth Tier Keyword.”

“Description: When applied to the target, the target will immediately perceive you as a stranger/the most familiar person, as you choose.”

“—It’s just that we loved so intensely, loved so deeply.”

All the small text vanished.

Shen Ye was contemplating the usage of this keyword when Ning Yunyu called out to him.

“Baxter, it’s not working.”

“What?” Shen Ye asked.

“There are no artisans on the other side—no one is coming!” Ning Yunyu said anxiously.

Shen Ye glanced at the teleportation array.

—This Gallian really has a lot of tricks up his sleeve.

However—

“It’s fine, someone went to look,” Shen Ye said.

“Looking for the Artisan Corps?”

“I estimate the Artisan Corps have all been bought off. Let’s just go find a divine statue, snatch it, and put it here.”

“…Will that work?” Ning Yunyu asked uncertainly.

“Don’t worry, my friend has already gone,” Shen Ye said.

The Teardrop Blade at his waist silently disappeared.

Behind him, the colossal black ship instantly delve into the void, vanishing without a trace.

On the other side of the city.

The door opened.

Another young Shen Ye quietly appeared.

Boom—

Holding the Teardrop Blade, he exuded intense destructive fluctuations.

A massive black ship quietly emerged behind him.

“Let’s go, get a divine statue.”

Shen Ye said.

“What if someone blocks us?” the Ship of Destruction asked.

“Kill them,” Shen Ye said.

“Hehehe, I like that about you,” the Ship of Destruction laughed.

On the other side.

Death Planet.

In a secret room.

Xu Xingke stood with his hands behind his back.

A black card book appeared before him.

The void continuously opened.

Ancient, weathered cards quietly appeared, returning to the book.

Xu Xingke’s eyes were calm as he watched this scene unfold.
