Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 557

On the island.

Shen Ye was still quietly comprehending that twin-slash move.

Learning this blade technique had a profound impact on him.

Because he had never imagined that a blade technique could be executed in such a way!

“Secret Record of the World-Ending Twin Slashes of All-Destroying Power (with secret art blessing).”

“Destruction-side two-stage continuous slashing technique, a divine skill, the art of the executioner that shatters souls with the power of destruction.”

“Description: 1. The first stage of slashing consists of five strikes, namely ‘Mountain’, ‘Sea’, ‘Wind’, ‘Fire’, and ‘Soul’; each strike is a slashing technique summarized by the Catastrophe of Destruction, gathering the power of countless civilizations, and each strike doubles in power compared to the last, until all strikes are completed;”

“2. After the first stage of slashing is completed, a Mark of Destruction will be generated on the target. You can activate the mark at any time and any place, causing the power of destruction to automatically generate a second round of destructive slashes, starting with 21 times the power and escalating upwards for the second round of strikes.”

“3. Any target killed by this slashing technique will have their soul shattered into fragments, ready for your use at any time.”

—An astonishing blade technique!

In fact, it could be said that—

This had already transcended the realm of blades.

It was a “Dao” used to shatter the souls of all living beings during the Catastrophe of Destruction!

Shen Ye sheathed his blade, then sighed softly, whispering:

“Ship of Destruction.”

The Ship of Destruction spoke with a tone of admiration:

“I’m here—speaking of which, you actually managed to con such a terrifying blade technique. No wonder you’ve earned so many duck titles.”

“Shut up, I’m doing this for love and peace on Earth.”

“Alright, alright, alright, you are truly magnificent, duck!”

“Be serious. From now on, we need to be prepared to face its wrath at any moment,” Shen Ye said.

“We can’t win,” the Ship of Destruction sighed.

Shen Ye nodded slightly.

Yes.

That monster, after fighting with the Soul Net and the Rod of Wither, retreated unscathed back to this island.

Regardless of the outcome of their battle—

The mere fact that it retreated unscathed proved its combat power.

Although he had learned a new blade technique, he absolutely could not be overconfident. He still needed to be cautious.

“You were once the third-ranked truth creation. Do you have a way to contact other truth creations?”

Shen Ye asked.

“Yes, there are unique ways to connect between various truth creations—who do you want to contact?” the Ship of Destruction said.

“Help me contact Augustus,” Shen Ye said.

“What are you thinking!”

“Even with enemies, some things can be communicated. It’s quite normal.”

A few minutes later.

The city.

The computer city.

Amidst a pile of collapsed ruins.

Augustus gently descended, strolling through it.

“If I were to come here and set up a trap to kill me, that would be too superficial.”

Augustus said in a teasing tone.

Ring-ring-ring—

In the silence, a phone rang.

Augustus reached out.

The phone landed in his hand, and he answered the call.

“Augustus.”

“I know you, Baxter, you’re with the Abyssal Destruction now.”

“Not really—I just want to live,” Shen Ye said.

“You seem to be living quite well, so is this call to brag about your status in the Destruction faction? Or to challenge me?” Augustus asked casually.

“You don’t understand the seriousness of the situation,” Shen Ye said.

“Such as?” Augustus asked.

“The Lord of the Abyss has a trait that, as long as its observation of me reaches 50%, it can completely replace me, and I will vanish,” Shen Ye said.

“What’s it to me? It’s best if you die,” Augustus yawned.

Shen Ye smiled silently.

“No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If he dies, the whole world is diminished.”

He recited.

Augustus sneered, “What do you want to say? If it’s to beg, then come and kneel before me and plead. Don’t think so highly of yourself.”

“Also, if it’s always such boring matters from now on, tell that ship never to contact me again.”

He prepared to hang up.

At this point, Shen Ye finally spoke the words:

“I inherited the ‘devouring’ element of the multi-layered universe and possess the ability to open barriers.”

Augustus’s hand instantly froze.

He put the phone back to his ear and spoke:

“A cunning liar, do you think I’d believe you?”

“Augustus, you’re a smart man.”

Shen Ye continued:

“Guess what the Lord of the Abyss will do once it replaces me?”

There was no echo on the phone.

Augustus remained silent.

In fact—

The Lord of the Abyss hadn’t unleashed its full power precisely because it only had Earth as an anchor point.

If it were to fight unrestrained and destroy Earth, it would be unable to enter the world of truth.

But if it gained the ability to open a gate…

Earth would become unimportant.

It could summon armies at any time, directly arrive in the truth void, and destroy everything without restraint!

This was a critical turning point in the war between the two worlds!

“Perhaps I can kill you too.”

Augustus’s tone was no longer relaxed, carrying a strong killing intent.

“But how to kill? Let’s be frank.”

Shen Ye sheathed his blade, switched the phone to his other hand, and continued:

“My other body is in the Eternal World, a place you can’t go to at all. Only the Lord of Destruction has conquered the Eternal World, and only it can go to that world to kill or replace me.”

“You’re lying to me,” Augustus said.

“I have no need to lie to you, Augustus. If things hadn’t reached this point, I wouldn’t be making this call to you—”

“If you don’t believe me, the world of truth will be destroyed.”

Shen Ye hung up the phone.

He waited for a few breaths.

The void opened.

Ning Yunyu returned.

She landed on the mountaintop, walking step by step towards Shen Ye.

Shen Ye immediately became immobile.

This was complete suppression, and its might was more terrifying than any enemy Shen Ye had ever seen!

“Child.”

Her tone changed, no longer the sometimes clear, sometimes melodious female voice, but as if billions of people were speaking in unison:

“Have you been to the abyss?”

Just as Shen Ye was about to speak, he saw a line of faint glowing text suddenly pop up:

“The opponent’s trait ‘Devourer of Replacement’ has suddenly begun to advance, currently reaching stage twenty-one.”

“Has reached stage twenty-two.”

“Has reached stage twenty-three.”

“Has become the pinnacle of traits, the Sacred Crown of Destruction, the Nightless Authority of ‘?????’ that disregards all existence.”

“The opponent’s trait has reached the same level as your ‘Mandala Uroboros’.”

“You can no longer suppress this trait.”

“Your observation value is rapidly rising—”

Shen Ye made an immediate decision and instantly activated fusion.

—He wanted to fuse the Twin Slashes blade technique with the Sky-Shaking Slash to create a new blade technique!

This way—

The opponent wouldn’t understand the new blade technique at all, and thus wouldn’t be able to increase her observation value!

“How naive, child.”

Ning Yunyu sighed, forming a hand seal.

In Shen Ye’s sight, several lines of faint glowing text immediately appeared on her hands:

“Art of Parallel Annihilation of All Life and Death.”

“Description: Opens countless nodes in past time, seizes any existence, and places it in a parallel world for torment and interrogation. Afterwards, the parallel world is dissolved, ensuring this interrogation is not remembered.”

Such a technique actually existed!

Shen Ye felt a pang of emotion.

—He truly didn’t know the extent of the opponent’s power.

He heard Ning Yunyu say gently:

“You live in this world and know so many people. I just need to torment your relatives, friends, and loved ones to continue increasing my observation value of you.”

“My observation cannot be stopped.”

Shen Ye smiled and retorted:

“Since you have such abilities, why didn’t you use them from the beginning?”

Ning Yunyu said: “This technique is too powerful and could destroy this fragile planet—I wanted to be more cautious, but now your actions tell me that I can’t hesitate any longer.”

The observation value increased rapidly!

Under Shen Ye’s gaze, the value had reached 43.983%.

It was still climbing!

Once it exceeded 50%—

Shen Ye would cease to exist.

“What you say is true, but humanity is not a race that surrenders. We have many counter-measures that you would never expect,” Shen Ye said.

“Such as?” the other party asked.

“For example—we usually cut to a commercial at a critical moment,” Shen Ye said.

Two afterimages shot over and violently slammed into the island.

Rumble—

The entire island split apart, and seawater surged in, causing it to sink.

A woman and Ning Yunyu were seen entangled in a battle high in the sky.

Augustus stood in front of Shen Ye and shouted:

“If you truly have that power of ‘devouring’ and crossing barriers, then get out of here quickly!”

“—But if you were lying, I will kill you immediately!”

Shen Ye smiled faintly, took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on, then retreated.

Under Augustus’s murderous gaze—

He spread his hands:

“Of course I didn’t lie to you—in fact, you made the most correct judgment.”

A door opened.

Shen Ye entered it, and both he and the door vanished.

At the very last moment.

He heard Ning Yunyu’s furious voice:

“Do you really think you’re my match?”

The door closed.

The sound ceased.

Shen Ye stepped in, suddenly forming a blade light with his hand, and slashed himself into innumerable pieces.

Boom—

The instant the Dharma Aspect vanished, the power within the Abyssal Destruction annihilated his corpse.

However, another figure cried out in alarm:

“What is this place?”

—Augustus!

In that instant, he had actually followed Shen Ye through the door!

He had originally intended to capture Shen Ye—

But Shen Ye was dead!

Never mind why he committed suicide, where exactly was this place?

This shouldn’t be the Eternal World!

Augustus waved the Rod of Wither, releasing the power of truth to protect himself, and began cautiously observing his surroundings.

At the same time.

On the other side.

The Eternal World.

“Dharma Aspect activation.”

Accompanied by the solemn voice of the black duck, layers of shadowy figures quietly unfolded behind the duck’s backside.

Within the Dharma Aspect, there was another Shen Ye, and a newly repaired tomb.

The black duck nodded in satisfaction, then glanced towards the void.

Lines of faint glowing text continuously refreshed:

“Observation value reached 44.527%;”

“Observation value reached 45.999%;”

“Observation value reached 46.978%;”

“…”

—The value was rising incredibly fast!

“That technique can’t be broken—Shen Ye, you’re going to die.”

The Ship of Destruction said with a solemn expression.

“Yes, it will go back to the past, find out everything about you, and gradually understand you—there’s no way to stop it,” Uncle Seven said.

“What if we could go back to the past too?” the duck asked.

“Even if we could go back, we couldn’t defeat it. Going back would just be sending ourselves to death,” the Ship of Destruction sighed.

“I see,” the duck said.

“Do you have any last words?” the Ship of Destruction asked.

“Don’t say anything unlucky—although we can’t beat it, it wants to understand something that never existed, asking anyone won’t help,” the duck said.

“What do you mean?” Uncle Seven asked.

Another line of faint glowing text popped up:

“Observation value reached 48.235%.”

Almost 50%!

The Ship of Destruction fell silent.

Uncle Seven also seemed somewhat sad, saying, “Life eventually meets death…”

“Cut the crap,” the duck said, “Perhaps someone knows the me of the death planet, perhaps someone knows the me of Earth, or even AI knows the me of the Eternal World.”

“But in the endless past before this moment, no one knew the future me.”

“That is—”

Before the words finished, the Dharma Aspect opened.

The black duck walked in, standing between Shen Ye and the tombstone.

The three Shen Yes were gathered!

“For stability, I suggest taking the yet-to-be-born Spirit of Destruction as the main body,” the duck said.

“Agreed,” the other Shen Ye said.

Two small characters also appeared on the tombstone: “Agreed.”

At this very moment.

The monster’s observation value of Shen Ye had reached 49.001%.

There was no time left!

“Fuse.”

The duck roared loudly.

In an instant—

The man, the duck, and the tomb simultaneously vanished from their original spots.

In their place was a golden duck emanating an intense power fluctuation.

The duck’s feathers were all ruffled, looking extremely fierce.

Faint glowing text then appeared:

“You have lost ‘Shen Ye · Extreme’.”

“You used ‘Mandala Uroboros’ to absorb all elements of the two Shen Yes and fused them into the ‘Original Spirit of Destruction’.”

“Due to your extremely high compatibility with your other two selves, this fusion resulted in an unparalleled evolution (perfect grade).”

“Congratulations.”

“You have completed the fusion, evolving into an Eternal Truth Destroyer Beast—”

“Super Saiya Duck!”

“This is an existence that has never appeared before!”

The black duck shook its feathers and instantly reverted to Shen Ye’s appearance.

He glanced towards the void.

“Current observation value is 00.000%.”

The observation value had reset to zero!

This was a matter of course.

After all, such an “Eternal Truth Destroyer” had never existed!

Even if the Lord of the Abyss questioned everyone who knew Shen Ye throughout the endless past, it would not be able to know what he was at this moment!

Shen Ye felt the infinite changes within himself, but things weren’t over yet.

He had to seize the time!

He reached out and grabbed a ball of light from the void.

—This was precisely the power he had drawn from that never-ending eternal technique at the bottom of the abyss.

“I was actually prepared long ago.”

He said.

“You’re not dead yet? Or are you already that monster?” the Ship of Destruction asked cautiously.

“Don’t worry, I’m fine—it’s just that it will probably catch up quickly, after all, this is a world filled with destructive power,” Shen Ye said.

He held the eternal technique in one hand and placed the other hand on the flesh and blood earth.

“Actually, I am the new Eternal Brain.”

“It’s just that I felt the chance to defeat destruction was too slim, and I’ve always been reluctant to take on that responsibility.”

“Now there’s no choice.”

“No retreat.”

Before his words finished.

The entire flesh and blood earth suddenly vanished.

In its place were lines of faint glowing text:

“As the new Eternal Brain, you have absorbed everything from the old Eternal Brain.”

After a few breaths.

More lines of faint glowing text popped up:

“The Catastrophe of Destruction has perceived the resurrection of the Eternal World from you.”

“It will destroy this world again.”

“—Prepare to join the battle.”

Shen Ye stood still, closing his eyes and silently sensing all the changes within himself.

Until that moment—

In the endless dark void, countless destructive minions quietly appeared.

Terrifying auras emanated from outside the world.

The great battle began anew!

Shen Ye looked up at the endless enemies and said:

“My concert tickets are not easy to get.”

“Goodbye.”

He opened the door and turned to leave.

—With this step, he returned to the world of truth.

As for the Eternal World—

Only nothingness remained in the Eternal World.

Even with armies pressing down, with terrifying destructive techniques, and with all sorts of monsters—

But there was nothing left for the Eternal World to destroy.
