Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 568

“If we’re going to play, let’s play big, quack!”

“Description: Summon a ‘big’ duck to blast your enemies. This duck possesses explosive destructive power!”

“—Unbound power!”

The duck looked at the entry, smacked its beak, somewhat confused.

God knows how “big” “big” truly was.

But it didn’t matter.

What truly mattered was that the Eternal Mind had been recharged.

Because the event of “the Eternal Mind will definitely be fully charged in three days” was unaffected by other timelines.

It was something that was “destined” to happen in the future.

That’s why the Heaven-Reaching Art had worked.

The surroundings were silent.

The duck carefully sensed, not detecting any danger.

“What do you think?”

It asked.

“This place is good,” the Ship of Destruction said.

“Indeed,” Uncle Seven agreed.

This was a cave.

The river’s phrase, “You won’t live long here,” had instantly stimulated the duck.

Because it could feel that the other party wasn’t joking.

—That tone was like stating a fact.

The duck was remarkably shrewd.

It immediately changed all its strategies from “exploration and intelligence gathering” to “finding shelter on the spot.”

Before long.

It found a cave in a pile of rocks.

The cave was huge.

—In fact, the cave was like the corpse of some giant creature.

The corpse had smashed a pit in the ground and remained there forever.

The duck placed dry branches at the entrance of the cave, using them as cover, then waddled its way deep into the cave.

—These were dry branches gifted by the river, capable of concealing one’s aura.

“Multibrain River Branch.”

“???”

“Description: With this dry branch as proof, Multibrain River will not do anything harmful to you, as you did, after all, give it a good name (entry), and you truly won’t live long.”

“—Multibrain River’s friendship with you will last until your death.”

Won’t live long…

This was exactly what Multibrain River had said!

Are you kidding, I’m a duck that’s going to live forever!

The duck felt a bit uneasy, so it dug another hole in the innermost corner of the cave and hid inside.

Even though this behavior was very un-duck-like.

But to be safe—

“Door!”

The duck quacked.

A large door blocked the entrance of the hole.

—This was the door leading to the Throne of Endless Destruction.

If anything were to attack it, at least the three structures within the Throne of Destruction could block it.

After doing all this, the duck breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It tucked its beak into its feathers, curling its entire body into a ball, like an ordinary duck.

“Shout if anything happens, I’m going to sleep.”

The duck said.

“You’re going to sleep?” the Ship of Destruction asked.

“Tired, need to recover some strength.”

The duck closed its eyes after speaking.

Rest!

To truly rest for everything that was about to happen!

Time slowly passed.

Before long.

It grew dim outside.

Is it night?

No—

“Be careful.”

Uncle Seven’s voice sounded.

The duck opened its eyes, vigilantly looking at its own feathers.

The feathers were decaying!

A line of tiny, glowing text immediately appeared:

“The surroundings are filled with an irresistible腐朽之力 (corrosive power), causing your body to begin decaying.”

The duck’s eyes widened.

What?

Am I going to die now?

“Mandala!”

The duck low-quacked.

In an instant.

The corrosive power attached to its body was immediately absorbed and transformed into an inexhaustible source of True Law energy.

—“Mandala – Ouroboros” could transform all power!

And after this power was transformed into True Law energy, its magnitude far exceeded Shen Ye’s expectations.

—It was too vast.

“Collect!” the duck decisively ordered.

A strange scene appeared.

All the True Law energy flew into the air, quickly turning into nothing and vanishing.

The duck was stunned.

What was happening!

Suddenly.

A “buzzing” sound came from outside the cave.

This sound grew stronger, louder, as if it filled the heavens and earth, omnipresent.

—What on earth is it!

Shen Ye whispered, “Which of you dares to go take a look?”

The Ship of Destruction and Uncle Seven didn’t respond.

However, Su Su’s voice sounded:

“I just molded a mud doll and sent it out to take a look. I found that the outside is filled with a unique melody.”

“Maybe it’s a cry? I’m not sure.”

“Anyway, my mud doll went crazy. It lost control, sat there, twisted off its own head, and stuffed it into its chest.”

Shen Ye felt a chill down his spine.

No way!

Can’t go out there!

A voice suddenly came from not far away:

“No one can leave here. Even powers of destruction, eternity, or truth, once they enter here, will only find death—”

“Are you ready to die?”

It was Augustus!

A tentacle stretched far into the cave entrance.

Augustus’s head reappeared at the end of the tentacle.

It immediately spotted the duck’s hiding place and grinned menacingly:

“Still resisting at the end.”

“It’s no use—all accounts are about to be settled!”

The duck immediately spoke:

“Withered Staff? Brother, you don’t even have a body left, how dare you threaten me?”

To its surprise, Augustus wasn’t angry, merely stating indifferently:

“I am a servant of the Sacred Tree. The Sacred Tree will protect me. What about you? You have no backing.”

“Baxter…”

“I don’t need to do anything. I just need to watch you die here.”

The duck, however, suddenly found its body uncontrollable.

Not just its body.

—Strange thoughts also began to surface in its mind.

“Just die here.”

“Death is the beginning of everything.”

The duck stood up, intending to collect the “door” and walk towards Augustus.

At the last moment.

It exerted all its strength and roared:

“Su Su—open—the—door—and—go—in!”

Control of its body instantly passed to Su Su.

Then the duck kicked open the door, flapped its wings, and embarrassingly rolled into the Throne of Endless Destruction.

The moment it landed, its mind instantly cleared, unaffected by any external forces.

Control of its body slowly returned to its hands.

The duck immediately flapped its wings and threw something outside.

“It’s useless.”

Augustus shook his head and said, “Everything you have will be stripped away, your fate is already sealed—”

“Hmm?”

He suddenly noticed a “big” duck in front of him.

This duck, made of who knows what, was about the size of a basketball hoop—

“Quack!”

The duck let out a cry.

Boom!!!

The roar of an explosion echoed all around.

The “door” slammed shut with a “bang,” but was destroyed in the explosion.

“Door!”

The duck cried out again.

A new door appeared again, resisting the impact of the explosion.

This continued seven times.

Only then did the explosion outside slowly subside.

Now—

Run!!!

A pair of wings stretched out from the door, tightly grasping its two frames, and lifted it.

It was the duck!

It was holding the door, its two feet sprinting forward with all its might.

—The door’s coordinates had changed, so perhaps the enemy wouldn’t be able to find it!

The duck ran, carrying the door.

It ran for thousands of meters in one breath.

However, the sky was filled with that strange, unsettling “buzzing” sound—

It sounded like the noise you hear when a signal is being searched for.

Amidst this sound, the duck felt its thoughts and body starting to become disobedient again.

What to do?

There was absolutely no way!

All the scenery, near and far, was gray.

—And it was unfamiliar with any place, even feeling that they were full of extremely terrifying dangers!

“Quack…”

The duck let out a desperate cry.

“Shen Ye, listen to me,” the Ship of Destruction’s voice suddenly rang out, “you’re different from others. Your reactions in doing things surpass all beings I know. Calm down, quickly think of a way!”

“I can temporarily help you control your body. You just try to think of a solution.”

Su Su also said.

“Yeah, don’t worry,” Uncle Seven also encouraged him, “you’re the most intelligent person I’ve ever met!”

The duck gave a bitter smile (if a duck could smile bitterly).

—You trust me so much?

But I have no ideas, quack!

Wait a minute!

Am I the most intelligent person?

That’s right!

I have a brain!

The duck suddenly jumped up, quickly turned around, and summoned its dharma idol from within the door.

It hastily rummaged through the dharma idol and dragged an object before itself.

—The escape pod!

This was the Eternal Mind’s escape pod!

“Quack, quack, quack!”

The duck formed a hand seal with one wing and pressed the escape pod with the other.

The Heaven-Reaching Art activated!

In an instant.

Lines of tiny, glowing text appeared:

“You have cast the Heaven-Reaching Art.”

“You have caused the escape pod’s state to jump back to one day ago.”

“One day ago, the escape pod was recharging your brain.”

“Are you sure you want them to return to their state of one day ago?”

“Quack!” the duck cried out loudly.

It was certain!

The duck suddenly felt a chill in its head.

—The brain was gone!

It looked down and saw that there was indeed a pink and tender brain inside the escape pod.

While it could still barely control its body—

The duck, holding the dry branch in its beak, leapt high, and with a “plop,” jumped into the Multibrain River.

It and its brain sank to the bottom of the water.

Given the presence of that dry branch, the surrounding water instantly became friendly and warm.

—It even made the “buzzing” sound in the sky a little softer.

This bought the duck a little more time.

Next, it was a critical moment of life and death!

The duck inserted the dry branch into the riverbed, then took a deep breath, and kicked forcefully—

Clang!

The escape pod was kicked open!

The moment the brain flew out, it immediately activated the ability “Mandala – Ouroboros.”

—Although it couldn’t absorb the surrounding energy, it could still ensure that the brain was protected from corrosion and harm!

Furthermore, due to the dry branch inserted nearby—

—According to the thank-you after the naming technique was achieved, Multibrain River would not harm it!

The brain floated motionless.

Silently, it used its dharma idol.

In an instant.

The dharma idol descended.

The duck jumped into it, hiding itself.

—Indeed, it couldn’t leave this world, but it could hide some parts of “itself”!

Like its body!

Once its body was hidden, only its brain would remain in this world.

There was no escaping.

But I am a person with a brain!

Shen Ye’s brain swirled around in the depths of the river, returning to the escape pod with the dry branch.

The entire escape pod slowly turned direction.

It began to descend towards the deeper riverbed.

—The escape pod was already good at drilling holes, it had almost drilled through the Abyss of Destruction.

Now, using it to drill through river mud was just returning to its old profession.

Then the escape pod gradually accelerated, then accelerated again, plunging into the mud at the bottom of the river, and then continued to drill down for several hundred zhang.

Until the strange “buzzing” sound could no longer be heard—

Only then did the escape pod stop moving.

Several lines of faint glowing text appeared in the mud-covered darkness:

“Congratulations.”

“You have obtained the ability:”

“What a thrilling duck!”

“Congratulations!”

“You have obtained a brand new ability:”

“Longest-surviving man!”

“A trait revered across all realms, transcending rules (this trait is continually growing in power as you survive).”
