Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 584
byChapter 567: Great, the Sky Has Fallen
Deep within the Great Tribulation of Destruction.
Where endless dark flames burned.
A towering black church stood amidst the raging flames.
—This was the Sanctuary of Destruction.
Within the entire void covered by the Great Tribulation, this place was extremely close to the core of destruction.
Ordinary servants of destruction, and even envoys, were not qualified to approach here.
Who knows when.
A vast tide of dark light descended from the heavens, coalescing in the church's hall to form a person.
—Kaelen, the Lord God of Destruction.
He stood in the center of the hall, and before the surrounding attendants could approach, he simply raised his hand and waved gently.
Suddenly.
Dark flames filled the entire church.
Within these flames, all the powerful beings were incinerated, turning into ashes.
The hymns in the church stopped.
Dead silence.
“I just managed to find such an opportunity.”
Kaelen spoke.
The surrounding stillness enveloped him, seemingly listening to the anger in his heart.
But in the stillness, there was still no response.
“I was about to obtain that being's split soul, thus gaining its knowledge and secrets. Why was I called back?”
“If this matter doesn't have a reasonable explanation—”
“I will destroy you.”
Kaelen's killing intent grew increasingly thick.
By the time he finished speaking, the mural at the end of the church began to emit a faint glow.
Finally.
A voice echoed from the mural:
“This was decided long ago, the moment the Great Tribulation of Destruction split its soul and scattered you all for reincarnation, turning you into humans.”
“You lie!” Kaelen roared.
He strode to the mural, about to strike it, but suddenly stopped.
“Do you see?”
From within the mural, the voice spoke again.
Kaelen took a few steps back, scrutinizing the scene on the mural, and couldn't help but ask:
“What is this situation?”
On the mural, there was a black sun reflecting twelve flames.
Within each flame, a humanoid figure was born, and all paid homage to the black sun.
One of the humanoid figures was Kaelen himself!
But at this moment—
The Kaelen on the mural gradually turned completely black, then dissipated into nothingness.
—He disappeared!
A voice came from within the mural:
“Do you see?”
“What does this mean? Why did I disappear?” Kaelen asked.
“This mural is a treasure personally bestowed by the will of the Great Tribulation of Destruction when it split its soul.”
“Each Lord God, upon facing an inevitable defeat, will have their likeness on the mural endure a calamity for them, at the cost of their disappearance from the mural.”
Kaelen froze, then burst into laughter:
“I would lose to that kid?”
“I have more tricks than there are worlds; any power that aims to destroy me will only make my power of destruction stronger!”
“—What kind of joke is this!”
He abruptly stopped, clenched his fist, and slammed it fiercely towards the mural.
This punch carried his killing intent—
But it was caught by a hand.
“Kaelen, Kaelen, you are still so impulsive.”
Someone said in a teasing tone.
Three figures appeared from the void, blocking the mural.
The person holding his fist continued:
“It's clearly your own problem, yet you want to destroy the mural, making us all lose the disaster-warding spell bestowed by the Great Tribulation. You truly live up to your cunning reputation.”
The second person said:
“Your tactic of destroying the mural without question will only lead you further into depravity.”
The third person placed a hand on the mural, performing a spell, and softly said:
“Mural, oh mural, I have offered the souls of five hundred servants, solely to discover the reason for Kaelen's defeat.”
A voice echoed from within the mural:
“Three Lord Gods, this matter can indeed be told, but Kaelen's personal permission must first be obtained.”
The three Lord Gods all looked at Kaelen.
Kaelen's expression was somewhat unnatural.
—After all, he really did intend to destroy the mural.
In that case, the other Lord Gods would not have the protection of the mural when facing him.
“Hmph, I allow it—I definitely didn't lose, perhaps I failed to seize the split soul, or perhaps that being's split soul isn't even in his hands!”
Kaelen said in annoyance.
He allowed it!
The three Lord Gods all looked towards the mural, waiting for the answer.
On the mural.
The voice echoed again:
“Your opponent is a human, and his fighting style is beyond your imagination.”
“He possesses the power of destruction, backed by two world powers, one being Eternity, and the other, Truth.”
“He also possesses the power of world D-0314, coalescing everything to form an increasingly terrifying variant.”
“And you, Kaelen, you will face all of this alone.”
“You are overly arrogant and impulsive, while your opponent is cautious and plans meticulously.”
“—You will be doomed.”
After speaking, the mural made no further response.
Several Lord Gods showed thoughtful expressions.
“Did you hear that?”
“Yes, that human possesses the power of world D-0314.”
“This proves that the split soul is in his hands.”
“Kaelen facing him alone is certainly enough… although it means he has to face three worlds and two kings simultaneously.”
“But the opponent is cunning and has many helpers, so he might make a mistake.”
They chatted casually for a few moments, then all looked at Kaelen.
“You want a piece of the pie too?”
Kaelen sneered.
“That being's split soul is immensely valuable; you alone cannot devour it, Kaelen.” One Lord God said.
“The three of us plus you make four Lord Gods; we can directly use various secret techniques to instantly kill any king-level existence.” Another Lord God said.
“Cooperate, or compete with us, you can choose.” The third Lord God said.
They stared at Kaelen.
Kaelen's eyes flashed with helplessness.
It was called a choice.
But in reality, there was no other choice.
—How could he alone withstand the attacks of three Lord Gods?
“Let's cooperate, but I want to tear that kid apart with my own hands.”
He grunted.
The three Lord Gods immediately smiled.
To force this arrogant and self-important fellow into submission was inherently a very satisfying thing.
“That's certainly not a problem.”
“—Even the King of World D would not dare to face four Destruction Lord Gods alone.”
“Let us lend you a hand.”
The four Lord Gods shimmered and vanished from the black church.
Using the destruction teleportation array, they transcended the world barrier and directly arrived in the World of Truth.
Earth.
“That kid should be hiding in the void of Truth or the land of Truth.”
Kaelen said.
“Let's just go grab a few creations of Truth and ask them.”
“Good idea.”
The four Lord Gods soared into the sky, instantly breaking through the firmament and flying towards the depths of the void.
They had only just left.
A woman appeared on the ground, solemnly looking up at the sky.
—She was the human form of the Spirit Net.
“What happened?”
“Such strong destructive aura, and four of them at that.”
The woman looked at the sky worriedly.
—Augustus had been out of contact for a long time.
Before these four extremely powerful destroyers, the strength of other creations was not enough.
What to do?
The woman gritted her teeth, finally making a decision.
She stood still and performed a spell with both hands.
For a moment.
All humans on Earth disappeared.
Deep within the Land of Truth.
Humans entered various pre-prepared mines and underground castles.
Every person walked expressionlessly to the side of the mine shaft,领取了工具，开始挖矿.
Digging downwards—
Digging continuously.
Perhaps there were stronger beings deep within the land of Truth.
They had been dormant.
But now, they must awaken.
This was for the survival of the entire world!
…
On the other side.
Deep within the World of Truth.
In the darkness.
Lines of faint text quietly appeared:
“You used the Heaven-Shrouding Art.”
“This Heaven-Shrouding Art received the blessing of Charlotte, the Lord of Multiple Universes.”
“The current Nightmare World has become a complete dream, taken by you. No one can enter this dream without your permission.”
The faint text twinkled in the void, then vanished.
—Is this enough?
Can it cope with various problems and challenges?
Shen Ye considered, then stepped into the void, entering the Nightmare World.
Another line of text popped up:
“You have entered a dream-type world: 'Nightmare'.”
Yes.
—The Nightmare World was a dream. Without his permission, no one could enter.
Then.
How could one find him and obtain his permission?
—It was impossible to find him.
Because—
He was currently in the Nightmare.
A paradox formed—
1. Must find me to enter the Nightmare World.
2. Must enter the Nightmare World to find me.
Combining the above two points, we can conclude 3:
—As long as I don't show myself, the world and I are safe.
Shen Ye stroked his chin, nodding with satisfaction.
Safe enough!
This was what he wanted to achieve!
“What do you all think?”
Shen Ye asked.
“Cunning.” The Boat of Destruction said.
“Cool.” Seventh Uncle said.
“A good strategy.” Su Su also chimed in.
Charlotte, however, said, “Still, be careful. There are all sorts of unimaginable abilities in the myriad worlds; they might still be able to capture you.”
Once she spoke, everyone else fell silent.
—After all, only she had traveled among the myriad worlds, and her insights were different from everyone else's.
“What about the power of a king? Can anyone violate that?”
Shen Ye asked.
“Oh, no, that wouldn't happen—you can be considered a king, after all.”
“Unless they defeat you, no one can destroy the Nightmare World.” Charlotte said.
“What is beyond a king?” Shen Ye asked curiously.
“Void Saint.” Charlotte said.
Before Shen Ye could ask further, she explained:
“A King of the World needs to guard their dominion and constantly battle other kings to ensure their world is not encroached upon, plundered, or destroyed.”
“But when your strength reaches a certain level, no King of the World dares to covet your world—”
“You can leave your world without any worries, roam freely in the void, and explore its secrets.”
“At this point, the laws of the myriad worlds will crown you, bestowing upon you the title of 'Void Saint', elevating you above the king tier.”
Shen Ye was a little confused and couldn't help but ask:
“Leaving one's world without any worries—how is this determined?”
“All kings have expressed their respect for you, acknowledged your power, and sworn that even if you leave the ranks of kings, they will not target your world.” Charlotte said.
Everyone listened, filled with longing.
“That tentacle's true body… perhaps it's a being beyond a king?” Shen Ye asked.
“Indeed.” Charlotte said.
“It was the one who came to find trouble with me first.” Shen Ye emphasized.
“Yes,” Charlotte chuckled, “It wanted to deal with the Great Tribulation of Destruction, but you cleaved off its split soul. This was an accident for both it and the Great Tribulation of Destruction.”
Accident.
“Everyone thought he would lose, right?” The Boat of Destruction said.
“Quite clearly.” Seventh Uncle said.
“But they still used him as cannon fodder.” Su Su added.
“ *Cough*, since they are so evil, I won't be a flying ship of the Destruction faction anymore.” The Boat of Destruction said.
Within the Dharma Rupa.
Its entire body of elemental power changed, and all the dark flames vanished completely.
In their place, was an aura familiar to everyone.
“Hmm?”
Everyone said in unison.
“I am best at evolution, you see; destruction can also evolve back into nature—meaning I've jumped back to the Truth faction.” The Boat of Destruction said.
Everyone thought about it, and this logic actually made sense!
“You just keep flip-flopping.”
Su Su said with disdain.
“Where am I flip-flopping? This is called adapting to the times.” The Boat of Chaos said.
“—This is precisely something I need to talk about.” Charlotte said.
“About my constant vacillation?” The Boat of Chaos asked.
“No, it's about the world of Eternity and the world of Truth.”
Charlotte continued:
“Humanity originated in the world of Eternity, representing the latest 'species'.”
“The world of Truth, on the other hand, is a completely unknown world—”
“Even among the myriad worlds, not many beings know about the situation of the world of Truth, and some cannot even enter it at all.”
“Based on my experience.”
“The world of Truth is actually an extremely high-level world.”
“For example, the Boat of Chaos, its power allows it to jump back and forth between different factions, and even the rules of contracts cannot bind it, because it can 'evolve' the content of contracts.”
“Su Su can link, know, and control all things and sentient beings.”
“Through the power of 'feeding', I can continuously evolve and become stronger.”
“—These are extremely rare, or even impossible, things in other worlds.”
“Don't underestimate ourselves.”
Shen Ye nodded in deep agreement.
Indeed.
With the help of the Dharma Rupa of the World of Truth and several Creations of Truth, he had evolved the Dharma Rupa to the “Two-Phase Soul-Guarding” stage.
The title “Mandala: Ouroboros” was an even greater means for him to constantly grow stronger.
His swordsmanship, needless to say, was born from the three arts transformed by the Parasitic Empress.
—Then what did he do?
He defeated a tentacle of that being, earning the title of king.
The World of Truth was actually quite powerful!
Wait a minute—
Shen Ye suddenly remembered something.
As for the king-level abilities in the myriad worlds, he seemed to have gained a little.
He looked towards the void.
As he willed it, lines of faint glowing text rapidly appeared:
“King of Nightmare.”
“This myriad-world title has triggered your unique nature, giving birth to a king's ability:”
“Calamity Eye.”
“King-tier actualization eye technique (top-tier).”
“Description: Instantly summon a calamity capable of killing both you and your enemies. Unless you say stop, the calamity will continue until both you and your enemies are dead.”
“—Great, the sky has fallen.”
“—But we wish to die in the same year, month, and day.”
Shen Ye was slightly startled, then understood the profound meaning of this move.
This eye technique wasn't even specifically for dealing with enemies.
Its main point was “die together.”
You want to kill me?
Sorry, let's die together.
For enemies, this was the most troublesome thing.
—This would make people wary and not dare to casually come looking for trouble with him!
“Charlotte, how strong are king-level abilities exactly?”
Shen Ye asked.
“Of course they're strong!” Charlotte immediately responded, “Only Void Saints can resist king-level abilities.”
It's stable now.
If things go south, he'll just die with his enemies.
Shen Ye felt a surge of certainty.
“Oh, speaking of that split soul—how do you plan to use it? Will you integrate it?” Charlotte asked.
“Do you think I should integrate its power?” Shen Ye countered.
“To be honest, it's a bit risky, but now you have to face both destruction and World D simultaneously. If things get really bad, you can only integrate it first—I'll have Su Su help you with that too.” Charlotte said.
“…No, I don't plan to integrate it.” Shen Ye said.
“Then how do you utilize its power? You must know that the knowledge and skills of every ‘Void Saint’ are extremely precious assets. You need to put them to use as soon as possible.”
Charlotte said.
“That's right, time is tight, you need to get stronger quickly.” Seventh Uncle also advised.
“I thought of a way, and I've already started using it.”
Shen Ye said mysteriously.
…
Alois had short golden hair.
He was an international exchange talent in Changdong City, a professional surgeon from abroad.
In recent months.
Every surgery he performed was a masterpiece of perfection.
Every patient he saw was cured.
Even patients on the verge of death were saved by him, recovering and being discharged shortly after.
But Alois resigned.
He had acutely sensed the trend of things.
—If things continued this way, at most two more months, he would inevitably become famous.
And then what?
To be studied like a guinea pig?
To have people discover that he actually possessed the memories of a cosmic monster, capable of using monstrous skills?
Suicide.
Actually, it was quite simple to hide.
But he was unwilling to intentionally let those patients die during surgery.
Not because of pity.
But out of pride.
So resignation was the best choice.
And then—
He understood the truth of this world.
“Have you thought it through? Will you join us to explore that oceanic ruin?”
A man asked.
Alois regained his composure and said, “Of course, I should already be qualified to access that kind of ancient ruin.”
“Your skill certainly qualifies you,” the man praised.
“Is that really the ruin of a Destruction Lord God? Did they fail to destroy the Earth back then, is that it?” Alois asked with interest.
“I don't know either,” the man said.
“Tell me, or else I'll teach you that last striking technique from before.” Alois offered.
“Really?” The man's voice perked up.
“What's there to lie about.”
Alois waved his hand nonchalantly.
—That move was really simple; teaching it to this person didn't matter.
After all, he was his guide.
He had shown him the secrets behind this world.
—Destruction is our human enemy.
Understanding destruction can make us stronger and let us know what lies beyond the universe.
This was what he should pursue throughout his life!
“Alright, I'll tell you, but we need to find a safe place before I can talk about that despicable Lord God Kaelen to you.”
The man said cheerfully.
“Let's go then, I'm buying you a drink, Brother Shen Ye.” Alois said.
“Let's go—after drinks, let me see that move of yours.”
“No problem.”
