Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 559
byChapter 542: Brainless Person
A small, translucent crystal box appeared in Shen Ye’s hand.
It was a square box.
Inside, it was filled with a boiling solution of light—
The power to destroy the entire Abyss of Destruction emanated from this box.
—Truly terrifying!
Shen Ye looked at the box and immediately understood its purpose.
At the same time.
Lines of微光 small words had appeared:
“You have discovered your escape pod.”
“Escape pod acquired.”
“The ‘Heavenly Descent’ spell gathered on the escape pod is still functioning perfectly.”
“Please combine your will with the power of this escape pod to activate the true power of the ‘Heavenly Descent’ spell, pierce through the entire Abyss of Destruction, penetrate the world barrier, and escape this battle of destruction.”
—This was the escape pod of the Eternal Brain!
Endless information emanated from the escape pod, captured by Shen Ye, who then comprehended the events of the past.
Countless years ago.
In the final battle between Eternity and Destruction.
The Eternal Brain already knew that it was destined to lose.
It gathered all its strength and wisdom to create this escape pod, hoping to find an opportunity to escape.
But the plan failed.
Although at the last moment, its frantic battle attracted the attention of all enemies, covering the successful arrival of the escape pod here and causing immense destruction—
The Eternal Brain itself couldn’t make it!
As for the Lord of the Abyss of Destruction—
Although it was blasted into a giant pit by the escape pod, it did not publicize it, nor did it ask for help from any other Destruction Overlords.
—That was its consideration.
Shen Ye didn’t need to care what the Lord of the Abyss thought now.
Because he had discovered the most important thing.
“After billions of years of waiting, the Eternal spell ‘Heavenly Descent’ is complete.”
“Spell body – escape pod is in place.”
“Spell master – Eternal Brain is in place.”
“Do you want to penetrate the Abyss of Destruction, break through the barrier, and go to an unknown world?”
The微光 small words flickered in the air.
Shen Ye held his breath.
—The information presented by these few lines was too appealing.
So the “barrier” was behind the Abyss of Destruction!
A “barrier” leading to other worlds!
Should he leave?
To completely leave the battlefield, no longer caring about the war between Destruction, Eternity, and Truth?
Leave!
He must leave!
Just by looking at how calmly the Lord of the Abyss of Destruction behaved, it probably didn’t want any other Overlords to know about its injuries.
But if he were to leave—
He had to bring all humans with him.
Chattelain!
Chattelain must regain her strength.
With her power as the Lord of the Multi-verse, she would surely be able to take all humans on the death world and leave with him!
Stop.
He couldn’t keep thinking like this.
Shen Ye tried to calm himself down.
He looked down at the escape pod in his hand and began to ponder more questions.
What was behind the “barrier”?
What if it was a world of nothingness?
…He couldn’t be too impulsive.
In short.
He had to make an urgent decision.
At this moment, should he take this escape pod or let it continue to destroy the Abyss of Destruction?
He looked at the escape pod.
New information had appeared beside the escape pod:
“The Eternal Brain has arrived at the escape pod.”
“The life support system on the pod has been successfully activated.”
“Please place your brain.”
“When your brain is in the escape pod, you can activate its accumulated abilities for a comprehensive replenishment.”
What a brilliant scheme of ‘shedding one’s skin.’
First, package all the energy onto the escape pod, then sneak over and blast through the barrier to escape.
The plan was sound!
In fact.
Back then, the Eternal Brain was held back and couldn’t leave—
It was just a hair’s breadth away from success!
If I break through the barrier now, wouldn’t that complete the overall escape of the Eternal World?
No.
Be calm.
Be calm, calm.
The Eternal Brain was pushed to its limits and had no other choice but to do this in a panic.
He still had many options.
—After all, no one knew what was behind the barrier.
Now…
“Place my brain.”
Shen Ye said.
He suddenly felt a surge of lightness in his head.
His brain was gone!
Lines of prompts appeared:
“Congratulations.”
“Among your three bodies of Destruction, Eternity, and Truth, your brain has been taken.”
“Your brain is being replenished with energy.”
“This will take approximately three days.”
“During this process, you have gained a temporary title:”
“Brainless Person.”
“Category unknown.”
“Description: I am brainless, what can you do about it?”
Shen Ye was speechless for a moment.
Alright.
Don’t worry about this title.
It will disappear in a few days.
The immediate concern was the Lord of the Abyss.
Shen Ye’s mind moved.
A duck jumped out from the dharma image behind him, hugged the escape pod, and squatted at the bottom of the lake, motionless.
—There was no other way.
He was like a lich now, having a “phylactery” here.
And he couldn’t take it away immediately—
Otherwise, once the Abyss of Destruction was repaired and given a breather, the Lord of the Abyss might cause some trouble.
So he had to use a clone to watch over his brain.
As for his human body—
He would use the information here to help Earth.
Before leaving, he glanced at the description of his body again:
“Hyper Saiyan Duck.”
“Eternal Truth Destroyer Beast.”
“Description: 1. You can split into three bodies simultaneously: Eternal Overlord, True Human, and Primordial Spirit; but when your three bodies merge, you possess the stacked attributes and power of all three bodies;”
“2. Each of your bodies possesses the three powers of Eternity, Truth, and Destruction simultaneously; they can be switched independently or exist simultaneously;”
Shen Ye read it carefully.
—No choice, he was still unfamiliar with his new identity.
If there was any difference between his current self and his past self—
It was that he had more energy.
His head no longer hurt, his eyes were no longer blurry, he was full of energy when doing things, as if he could endlessly complete various tasks.
Of course, he could still suppress those weaker than him.
If he could make his emotions fluctuate—
Then, his power level would skyrocket with his emotions!
All three characteristics were present!
—This was the terrifying aspect of the Hyper Saiyan Duck!
But the name wasn’t very pleasant.
As Shen Ye pondered, a line of微光 small characters quietly appeared:
“Changing the name requires integrating a new type of world power.”
Forget it.
Currently, there were only three types: Destruction, Truth, and Eternity. It seemed this name would have to stay with him for a while.
Shen Ye opened a door, stepped directly in, and vanished from the underground lake.
…
At the top of the Abyss of Destruction.
Shen Ye quietly appeared and looked at the surrounding dark void.
In a certain direction.
A faint ripple of destructive power was barely audible.
Yes.
Besides the Lord of the Abyss, there were other Overlords in the Destruction camp!
It was time to take a look.
Shen Ye ascended into the air, his body covered in endless destructive flames, flying towards the direction of the power fluctuation. Approximately several tens of minutes later.
He saw a massive castle suspended in the dark void.
The architectural style had a hint of Gothic.
The colorful stained-glass windows and the epic stories depicted on them had even more grandeur than the Castle of the End.
Shen Ye descended.
“Welcome to Void City.”
A man in uniform appeared directly in front of him.
“Hello.” Shen Ye said.
“Hello to you too—entry to the city requires a fee.” The man said.
Behind him stood two rows of professionals, all wearing identical uniforms.
They seemed to be peacekeepers maintaining order.
—They were probably also responsible for handling immigration and emigration.
Shen Ye looked around.
There was nothing in the Abyss of Destruction; it had long been desolate.
But this place was different.
—It was quite prosperous, with professionals coming and going, and various buildings emanating immense power fluctuations.
This should be the territory of another Destruction Overlord.
Shen Ye said:
“Fee… I have a few things on hand, if possible—”
The other party quickly interjected, “No problem at all, we can complete the exchange and payment for you at any time.”
“That’s good then.”
Shen Ye took his hand out of his pocket.
He casually took out a gem.
This was something he had picked up to play with at the count’s mansion when he was a count.
Of course.
For convenience later, the gem had been processed with the title “Behind-the-scenes Man” and now had a new prefix—
“Flawless” Gem of Destruction.
The other party took the gem, looked at it, and said with a smile, “Though small, its quality is excellent.”
“Can I enter the city?” Shen Ye asked.
“Of course, sir, here you go.”
A small pouch was handed over, with the sound of metal clinking inside.
“Thank you.”
“By the Demon’s Nest, may you enjoy your stay here.”
“Alright.”
The other party made a gesture, and with his two rows of subordinates, continued patrolling forward.
Shen Ye stood there, weighing the small bag in his hand.
A pouch of coins.
Not much.
But Shen Ye didn’t care.
When he returned to Earth, as a person without power, he truly felt a bit powerless.
But now—
Hehehe.
Even with just the title “Behind-the-scenes Man,” constantly giving prefixes to items, he could earn a lot of money!
Titles were the primary productive force!
Shen Ye was not in a hurry.
He first wandered around the city for a few hours, familiarizing himself with the city’s layout, before arriving at a tall, grand building.
“Hello, how can I help you?”
The guard at the door asked.
“Excuse me, I need to register my identity.” Shen Ye said.
He smiled and handed over a coin.
—This was the first step.
He needed to understand the power structure of the Destruction faction.
He needed to understand the interests of various factions and what they were doing.
Otherwise, he would be completely blind, and like the Eternal Brain, even if everything was well-planned, he would get stuck at the last step.
—That would be a huge loss.
In addition to that.
He also needed to relieve Earth.
So this time, there was only victory, no defeat.
And when it came to gathering information, he couldn’t rush; if he was too eager, it would easily raise suspicion.
“Identity registration? Please follow me through the door on the left.”
The guard took the coin and smiled, leading the way.
Shen Ye followed him into the hall, along a long corridor, until they reached a small room at the end.
The door had a sign that read “Destruction Servant Registration Office.”
“This is it—remember to pick up an application form.”
“Thank you.”
The door was open, and voices could be heard inside.
The guard had already turned and left.
As soon as Shen Ye entered, he saw seventeen or eighteen professionals already lined up in front.
Each holding an application form.
They were talking to a staff member with flattering expressions.
“No!”
The staff member sitting behind the registration desk looked annoyed and shouted at them.
“You deserters from the graveyard, do you really think the Demon’s Nest takes in trash?”
“Weapons lost, no strength, and deserters to boot—”
“Get out! Get out!”
Application forms were scattered all over the floor.
A group of people were chased out.
Shen Ye stood behind the group, originally about to pick up an application form from the table, but was then involuntarily led out with them.
He suddenly had an idea and shouted:
“Please, sir, be accommodating, we will be grateful.”
“Who wants your gratitude! We in the Demon’s Nest City hate deserters the most—get out of here!” The staff member yelled.
Shen Ye dared not say more and sheepishly followed the group out of the room.
Once outside, he stopped at the doorway, forcing a bitter smile, and said loudly:
“Brothers, what do we do now?”
The group, seeing him earlier speak up on their behalf and now following them out, felt that he had some sense of loyalty.
But—
No one was an idiot.
What exactly was this person up to by sticking with us?
Who were his brothers?
A group of people silently surrounded Shen Ye.
Shen Ye, however, seemed to not notice at all, still indignantly saying:
“This is truly too contemptuous of people.”
Before his words fell.
Everyone looked up at his head in unison.
Title!
This person actually had a title above his head!
Could he be a peerless master—
While everyone was still in doubt, they saw the title clearly displayed:
“Brainless Person.”
“Category unknown.”
“Description: I am brainless, what can you do about it?”
…How to put it.
So that’s how it is, so that’s how it is!
—This guy was brainless!
So he was oblivious, getting mixed up with them, not because he had any ulterior motives.
What bad intentions could a brainless person have?
The crowd dispersed again.
Although most people couldn’t be bothered to talk to Shen Ye, someone eventually couldn’t resist speaking:
“Let’s go, it doesn’t matter if the Demon’s Nest doesn’t take us.”
Another person chimed in, “We can still get an identity elsewhere—only the people of the Demon’s Nest are so arrogant and domineering.”
“Let’s go,” another person said.
“Alright, let’s go,” Shen Ye also said.
He followed the group.
The group couldn’t be bothered with him and just let him follow.
—This was the Demon’s Nest’s office, causing trouble here would have terrible consequences!
Besides, why bother arguing with a brainless person!
It would degrade one’s status!
In a moment.
The group left.
But soon.
Shen Ye returned, re-entering the Destruction Servant Registration Office.
“Sir.”
He greeted with a smile.
The staff member, seeing it was him, immediately shouted, “Why are you back again? You deserters—”
Shen Ye stuffed a handful of “flawless” gems into the other’s pocket.
“Sir, I’m different from my companions—I’m a life professional.”
He whispered.
—The title above his head had long been hidden.
The staff member, having received the handful of gems, now had a different expression and stared at Shen Ye, saying:
“Even a life profession depends on what kind of life profession it is.”
There was a chance!
“I can summon primordial spirits, sir, and as you should know, primordial spirits have various unique abilities, but they are very weak in combat.” Shen Ye said.
“Really?” The staff member was half-skeptical.
“Come.” Shen Ye whispered a command.
The void opened.
A duck jumped out and squatted on his shoulder.
The staff member looked at the duck, sensed it briefly, and exclaimed:
“It really is a primordial spirit…”
—Even the Ship of Destruction and Uncle Seven considered primordial spirits to be extremely noble and rare.
The same was true here!
“You go back.”
Shen Ye said.
The duck immediately disappeared.
“You see, I really didn’t lie to you.”
Shen Ye said.
He simply handed over the money pouch in his hand as well.
The staff member’s expression was much better now.
—A summoner of such rare spirits, both the person and the spirit are weak in combat, so you can’t expect him to fight.
Therefore, this person, from a moral standpoint, does not belong to the category of front-line deserters.
And he was generous.
He should be given a “pass” based on his impartial judgment.
“Enough, bring your application form.”
“Yes, thank you, sir.”
Shen Ye reached out.
In the trash can.
More than a dozen application forms that had just been thrown in all flew up and landed in his hand.
He pulled one out and handed it to the other party.
The staff member knew these were the forms that had just been thrown away. Now that he had taken the money and felt there was no problem with Shen Ye, he quickly glanced at it.
“You don’t actually have to mingle with them.”
He advised, then simply stamped the form and handed it back to Shen Ye.
“Go to the front hall to collect your identity badge.”
“Yes, thank you for your advice, sir.”
Shen Ye took the form, turned, and left.
A few minutes later.
He stood in the hall, toying with a small badge in his hand.
—The newbie badge of Demon’s Nest City!
From now on, he would serve the Demon’s Nest.
Activate this badge.
He could view various messages and tasks published by the Demon’s Nest.
It was a good opportunity to learn about Earth’s situation.
—How were Earth and the World of Truth viewed by the other Destruction Overlords?
Shen Ye sent his mental energy into the badge, searching for information of interest from the various task lists.
Suddenly.
One task caught his attention.
“Close-range observation of the Abyss of Destruction, using a highly special treasure to collect feedback on power fluctuations.”
“Required task members: 5.”
“S-rank task.”
—This task was feasible!
Shen Ye happily signed up.
But soon, a cold voice came from the badge:
“A newbie dares to sign up for an S-rank task? Go eat shit.”
“Who are you?” Shen Ye asked curiously.
The other party said, “I am the leader of this mission—kid, remember not to do things that don’t match your status from now on.”
“Hey, even though I’m a newbie, I’m strong.” Shen Ye said.
“Listen, don’t cause trouble, this isn’t child’s play—cancel your application immediately, or I’ll make you regret it.”
The communication ended.
Shen Ye was silent for a few breaths.
Forget it.
He’s powerful.
Then cancel it.
He canceled the mission application.
The mission quickly filled up and then disappeared from the list.
A commotion suddenly erupted in the hall.
Everyone whispered:
“The strongest few have formed a task force again!”
“They’re going to the Abyss.”
“Shh… that mission is incredible, it’s something we shouldn’t even touch…”
“Only top-tier experts like them are qualified to go.”
Shen Ye listened for a while.
The strongest?
—The hierarchy here is indeed strict!
He sighed.
Meanwhile.
On Earth.
The Lord of the Abyss, Ning Yunyu, had just finished a fierce battle with the Spirit Catcher Net and was now in a standoff.
A drone suddenly flew over them both.
The deafening loudspeaker then blared:
“Lord of the Abyss, your mom is calling you home for—no, your Abyss is about to be observed!”
The owner of the Spirit Catcher Net—
The human woman, teased:
“Was your home stolen? It seems you’re not very popular in the Destruction faction either.”
“That’s because you don’t understand us,” Ning Yunyu said.
She retreated, her figure gradually disappearing.
“Hey, we haven’t decided who’s superior yet.” The human woman shouted.
“I do apologize, but unfortunately, it will have to wait for next time.”
Ning Yunyu’s tone even carried a hint of genuine apology as she continued:
“Trying to cause trouble while I’m gone, such a character will surely die a miserable death. You should remember this point too.”
Her voice slowly faded away.
After she left.
After a full seven or eight breaths.
The human woman suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, her legs gave way, and she collapsed to the ground.
“Damn it… to be so strong…”
Her expression was as somber as water.
—Where did Augustus go?
If he were here, she would never have been so severely injured.
Damn it.
An unreliable guy at a crucial moment.
She had to quickly think of a new strategy—
Otherwise, next time, she wouldn’t be so lucky to interrupt the battle midway!
…
On the other side.
Still in Demon’s Nest City.
Shen Ye continued to follow various tasks.
At a certain moment.
“Close-range observation of the Abyss of Destruction, using a highly special treasure to collect feedback on power fluctuations.”
“Required task members: 5.”
“SSS-rank task.”
—The mission reappeared.
Tsk.
Those几个 Destruction servants couldn’t complete it?
This mission was actually that difficult!
