Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 572
by“It’s open!”
Seventh Uncle shouted.
The moment he spoke, Charlet had already returned to the trio’s side.
Indeed, a dark, gaping hole had been dug in the ground.
Blood gurgled out.
—What would happen next?
“Since it’s open, we must leave immediately.”
Charlet said decisively.
“Not fighting anymore?” Destroyer asked in confusion.
“I just borrowed some of Shen Ye’s terms, which allowed me to draw a little power and participate in the battle for a bit.”
“Now, there’s no room for us to interfere.”
After Charlet finished speaking, she pressed her hand into the void and let out a low cry:
“Door!”
A door then opened.
“Where does this door lead?” Green Brain Shen asked curiously.
“We’ll talk as we go,” Charlet replied urgently.
She pushed open the door.
She put the green brain into the door first.
The green brain immediately unfurled its Dharma form, activating the term “Will meet under the moon on the Jasper Terrace,” and drew everyone in.
“Hurry, otherwise it will be too late to leave.”
Charlet said.
The green brain willed the door to close.
At the last moment.
It sent out brainwaves, looking outside the door.
On the vast land.
A skinless giant, its bloody muscles exposed, crawled out from underground.
Countless brains let out joyful howls.
They descended, one by one.
They landed on the giant’s fleshy body, embedded themselves, and released long, glowing threads that burrowed deep into its flesh.
The giant was covered in wriggling brains.
It was no longer as sluggish as before, but struck a pouncing stance on the spot.
Its target was—
The sky.
Boom!
The door closed.
The door disappeared.
Shen Green Brain came back to his senses, only then realizing that his thoughts were frozen, unable to process any ideas for a long time.
“It’s very strong, isn’t it?”
Charlet’s voice quietly sounded.
“Yes, extremely strong, almost unimaginably strong—I understand your concerns now.”
Shen Green Brain said with lingering fear.
Darkness surrounded them.
But soon—
Torches lit up one by one on the walls on both sides of the passage.
Shen Green Brain realized that this was like a large underground passage.
No one knew where it led.
But from a spiritual sense, he felt as if he had received some kind of protection.
The void flickered.
Shen Ye’s true form appeared.
“Excellent, my power is not restricted in this passage.”
He casually put the green brain back into the Dharma form, stowing it in the escape pod.
Then—
Without hesitation, he took off, sprinting at full speed towards the other end of the passage.
Charlet’s voice kept echoing in his ear:
“This is a technique I laid down back then.”
“Technique?” Shen Ye asked.
“That’s right, I grew up deep within the Land of Truth, so whenever I went to a new world, I would secretly prepare a maze-like escape passage.”
“—Be careful, take the second passage on the left ahead.”
Charlet said.
Shen Ye paused slightly.
Indeed, a four-way intersection appeared ahead.
Take the second passage on the left…
He rushed into that passage, continuing to sprint forward.
“Where do the other passages lead?”
Shen Ye asked.
“The other passages lead to some places in this D0314 world that I consider very dangerous.”
“World D0314 is my name for the world we just came from.”
“Alright… so where does your technique ultimately lead?” Shen Ye asked again.
Charlet said nothing more, merely extended her finger from her Dharma form and lightly tapped Shen Ye’s forehead.
Shen Ye immediately understood everything.
This technique lay dormant.
Only if someone could correctly navigate all the forks and finally reach the end of the passage would this technique activate.
World Jump Technique!
Once this technique was activated, it would generate a designated spatial teleportation.
The destination was the World of Truth.
—This was the escape route Charlet had prepared for herself when she was at her peak.
Shen Ye couldn’t help but sigh:
“I see, is it by being so cautious that you’ve lived until now?”
“That’s right—in fact, I almost died many times.”
Charlet continued, “But I’m used to making all sorts of escape preparations whenever I arrive in an unfamiliar world.”
“No matter what, I make full preparations.”
“—This is why I was ultimately able to return to the World of Truth.”
Meanwhile.
In World D0314.
The clouds in the sky parted.
The giant, covered in brains, sat on the mountain, holding a huge vertical pupil in its hand, eating it bite by bite.
In the void.
Occasionally, floating eyeballs would appear, trying to cast some spells.
But those spells struck the giant’s body without being able to penetrate its bloody muscles.
Instead, the muscles hit by the spells would contract, protecting that area of brains from any harm.
Other brains then unleashed powerful, invisible brainwaves, causing the eyeballs to burst with “pop pop” sounds.
And the giant continued to devour the largest vertical pupil.
In just a few minutes.
The giant, covered in embedded brains, had devoured the entire vertical pupil.
An invisible wail erupted in the void, then quickly ceased.
—The outcome was decided!
Duo Nao He won this life-and-death battle!
The giant slowly rose and walked towards the dug-through tunnel.
It looked at the deep pit in the ground, then at the floating green brain beside it.
Immediately after.
The brains all over the giant emitted thousands of telepathic messages, condensing into a voice in the void:
“My body has been sealed here for too long.”
“You were actually able to dig open the seal.”
“—You are a truly remarkable warrior.”
The giant spread its arms, its voice becoming excited and filled with anticipation:
“I don’t know why you’ve turned into a non-human brain—”
“But according to the rules, as long as you’re not human, it’s fine.”
“Come on.”
“I agree.”
“Merge with me!”
“I need your ability to unseal!”
As the words fell.
The green brain floated in mid-air, opening its mouth with a smile and saying, “No need.”
The giant paused, then slowly reached out, grabbed the green brain, and placed it towards its body.
Snap.
The green brain shattered immediately, turning into a ball of light and shadow, which flickered and then disappeared.
“Dream-like technique?”
“Ah… you’re gone…”
“Don’t go, I need your power!”
Fuzzy flames erupted all over the giant’s body, instantly spanning the limitations of time and space, returning to the moment of the battle.
At that moment—
The green brain had just been placed inside the door by Charlet.
The giant waited silently.
—At this time, it could not appear, otherwise, if two of them appeared at a node that could determine the fate of various independent individuals in the battle, everything would become chaotic.
Its mortal enemy might have a chance to escape!
The giant waited for a while.
Until its past self in the sky grabbed the largest vertical pupil—
The giant suddenly took a step forward.
“Technique Reappearance.”
The brains all over its body let out sharp roars.
Boom—
The door summoned by Charlet reappeared.
The giant’s figure quickly shrank, pushed open the door, and with a flash, rushed inside.
In an instant.
It had arrived at the four-way intersection.
Everything that happened here transformed into light and shadow, reappearing before its eyes.
It followed Shen Ye in the light and shadow, made its choice, and continued forward.
Chase—
Keep chasing!
Finally.
It reached the end of the road.
The green brain floated motionless before the wall at the end of the road.
“Join us, we sincerely invite you!”
The giant’s entire body emitted excited shrieks.
It rushed forward, grabbed the green brain, and placed it on its body.
Snap.
The green brain disappeared again.
Everything around transformed into ethereal illusions.
The giant found itself back where it started.
“Double dream…”
It murmured, but soon became excited again, erupting in billions of telepathic shockwaves:
“Interesting!”
“You are truly fascinating!”
“We sincerely hope a brain like yours would join us!”
Meanwhile.
In the passage.
Shen Ye had already reached the end of the road.
Charlet’s voice suddenly rang out:
“The borrowed power is almost used up, hurry!”
Shen Ye’s heart tightened, and he pressed his hand against the wall, saying:
“Teleport.”
—But the teleportation didn’t happen.
Had Charlet’s technique failed?
Suddenly.
A voice came from not far behind:
“A teleportation technique from countless years ago is indeed outdated.”
“—I knew you would try to run!”
“So, by monitoring the spatial fluctuations outside the world, I knew I could intercept you!”
Shen Ye looked back.
He saw a head peeking out from the edge of the wall around the corner.
—Augustus.
He had actually tracked them into this technique!
The head continued to move forward, revealing long tentacles behind it.
Charlet immediately appeared from the void, shielding Shen Ye behind her.
Augustus’s eyes became a little playful.
“Multiverse Charlet—”
“Countless years ago, to eradicate that extremely powerful curse, your past self died.”
“Your current self is reborn from a dream.”
“—You no longer possess the formidable power you once had.”
Charlet reached out her hand.
A fiercely blazing flame appeared in her palm.
As soon as the flame appeared, it immediately emitted power fluctuations like a raging storm, making Augustus a little more cautious.
“Back then, I was severely injured, which is why a group of creations you gathered were able to injure me.”
“You never dared to fight me at my peak.”
Charlet said.
Augustus’s face darkened, his long tentacles behind him twisted frantically, and he growled:
“You solo eater…”
“Solo eater?” Charlet said.
“That’s right, only you can traverse world barriers and witness so many worlds, yet you never tell us anything.”
“We live permanently in the boundless truth, yet we receive no news from the outside world.”
“Multiverse, you are so selfish!”
Augustus became agitated, shouting angrily:
“—I killed you because we all crave freedom and truth!”
Charlet suddenly smiled.
Her eyes seemed to hide many things, but she said nothing, only spoke:
“I have already learned one thing that I can share with you.”
“Speak!” Augustus said.
“To break through the bottleneck of power, one needs to cooperate with humans to deeply understand the essence of creation and continue to ascend to higher peaks,” Charlet said.
Augustus grew impatient and interjected:
“I know this, I also acquired a human body and can indeed exert more—”
“No, you don’t,” Charlet interrupted him.
“Augustus,” Charlet stared at him, continuing, “you hold yourself in too high regard and disdain humanity too much, so you twisted this rule, and in the end, you merely preserved yourself.”
“But I gained power.” Augustus said.
“You haven’t,” Charlet said.
“Enough with the nonsense, humans are as hypocritical as we are. They eat conscious, flesh-and-blood beings, yet they pretend to love nature and be kind to all things,” Augustus said.
The two fell silent, gazing at Shen Ye in unison.
—Here was a human!
He had no way to defend against human hypocrisy!
Augustus thought.
He must have a way to defend humanity!
Charlet thought.
Shen Ye was originally ready to fight, but he didn’t expect these two truth creations to elevate the discussion to a philosophical debate.
A debate…
He thought for a moment, then spread his hands and said:
“Augustus—if it’s plants, can humans eat them? After all, humans would starve to death if they ate nothing.”
“Of course, plants are fine.” Augustus thought it over before replying.
It succeeded.
Shen Ye put his hands on his hips and said, “You’ve committed an error of species discrimination.”
“What do you mean?” Augustus asked.
“You believe animals are superior to plants, but in fact, plants are also life forms nurtured by nature.”
“Plants—” Augustus said.
Shen Ye interrupted him, “You are discriminating against the plant species, which proves you are a speciesist.”
Killed him.
Charlet thought secretly.
“But—” Augustus said urgently.
Shen Ye interrupted him again:
“You accuse humans of eating animals, yet you look down on plants—the logic behind this is that you believe your judgment is superior to that of humans, which proves you also discriminate against humans.”
“Child, this is double species discrimination.”
Double kill.
Charlet silently intoned.
“Also, we usually regard self-pleasure as a blasphemy.”
“You blaspheme yourself every day, and while no one would say anything if you just played with yourself, you still have the audacity to come out and righteously accuse humans?”
“This is called hypocrisy—Augustus, your human head is the evidence.”
“It constantly proves that you are playing with yourself.”
“Think about it, using a human body to caress your original sentient staff.”
“You’re too dirty, Augustus!”
And a triple kill!
Charlet was astonished, covering her mouth.
“Enough!!! I’m going to kill you all!!!”
Augustus roared.
“What does ‘playing with oneself’ mean?” Charlet turned to ask.
“Some of my friends vaguely mentioned it, just like Augustus here—but honestly, I don’t quite understand,” Shen Ye said with a sincere expression.
Who would believe you!
Charlet almost couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him.
Boom—
Infinite killing intent permeated the entire passage.
“I caution both of you.”
“A thousand words said, ten thousand words spoken, in the end, it’s all about strength.”
“Only living beings have the right to speak the truth!”
The tentacles behind Augustus coiled into a body.
Several small tentacles extended, forming hands and feet.
He glared at Charlet with a sinister expression and said:
“I don’t believe you still possess the power you once had.”
“You’re right,” Charlet said with a calm expression, “I borrowed some power just now, and now only a tiny bit is left.”
Augustus was stunned.
What was she saying?
Was she laying all her cards on the table for him?
Charlet, however, smiled slightly and said softly:
“I’ve decided to use my last bit of power to demonstrate my path.”
“Today, you and I will decide not only victory and defeat, but also life and death.”
As the words fell.
She walked to Shen Ye’s side and gently embraced him.
In an instant.
Charlet was gone.
A long saber appeared in Shen Ye’s hand.
Its blade was dim, its body shimmering with the light of countless nebulae.
“One strike.”
“—We only have one strike’s worth of power, Shen Ye.”
“It’s up to you.”
Charlet’s voice emerged from the long saber.
Shen Ye looked down at the long saber.
There were two small characters on each side of the saber’s hilt.
Wusheng.
Shenghun.
—Wushenglu, Shenghunzhu.
These were the two precursor professions that made up the Shadow God Mother.
Now.
Charlet, a creation of truth, had transformed into a long saber.
A boiling power surged from the long saber.
—It could still unleash one full-power attack!
“Is this your choice? To entrust your life and death to a human, to be at his mercy?”
Augustus said in a deep voice, his tone betraying a sense of incomprehension.
“Yes, I trust him.”
Charlet replied indifferently.
Augustus looked at Shen Ye, and suddenly an hysterical killing intent erupted in his eyes.
“Hahahaha, how absurd—”
“The once mighty Truth Creator, Multiverse, is meeting her end with a human?”
“Today, right here, I will kill you both.”
“—My path is the correct one!”
The wind howled.
He slowly walked towards Shen Ye.
Shen Ye sighed, slowly raised the long saber, and assumed a saber stance.
“You weren’t a saber before, were you?”
He whispered.
“I changed for a long time to become a saber—aren’t you a saber master?” Charlet also whispered.
“…En, I am a saber master.”
Shen Ye looked down at the long saber, gradually tightening his grip, his expression suddenly becoming focused.
One strike.
Only one strike!
This was the path Charlet had chosen.
She chose to trust him unreservedly.
Then—
This one strike of his must kill Augustus!
