Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 615

The void opened.

Gray cards flew back into Xu Xingke’s hand one by one.

On these cards, the images of the Messenger, King of Hearts, Saint Sorceress Celine, and others appeared.

Their eyes were all closed, and their bodies emitted faint golden light, like sacred angels.

All the cards returned intact.

Xu Xingke sighed:

“Humanity’s first mission has finally officially begun.”

“Can these cards be resurrected?” Shen Ye asked.

“Of course, they represent our mission – when we completely finish the first mission, and the second mission for humanity begins, they will be resurrected again,” Xu Xingke said.

“What exactly are they?”

“You can think of them as ‘gods’ born with humanity, protecting the human species.”

“I see…”

Shen Ye also felt a little emotional, but then a card unexpectedly jumped out of the void and landed in his hand.

On this card was a burning torch.

The torch illuminated the blank space, revealing two small lines of black text:

“Eternal Poem.”

“Four beings returning from history must gather those black flames together.”

“When all the flames submit to the Sword of Destruction, humanity will rise.”

Shen Ye read it a few times, then handed the card to Xu Xingke.

Xu Xingke looked at it, pondered for a moment, then handed the card to Xiao Mengyu.

“Four beings – that means us four.”

“Exactly.”

“The Sword of Destruction, that should refer to your sword.”

Shen Ye said.

Xiao Mengyu looked at the card and said:

“I have a vague premonition that it is indeed so.”

“‘Humanity will rise’ – do you have any idea what that means?” Shen Ye asked.

“I have a rough idea – you can feel it in advance.” Xiao Mengyu said.

She raised her long sword, took a deep breath, and suddenly released all her sword intent.

Whoosh—

Infinite dark flames covered the long sword and surrounded her.

The long sword pointed at Xu Xingke.

In an instant.

An overwhelming, boundless city wall appeared in front of Xu Xingke.

At the very bottom of that city wall, there was a luminous brick.

“Teacher, you can take a look.”

Xiao Mengyu said.

Xu Xingke was slightly startled, then reacted, and asked:

“Law?”

“Yes,” Xiao Mengyu said.

“Unique to us humans?” Xu Xingke asked again.

“Exactly.” Xiao Mengyu smiled.

Silence fell all around.

This was the future era.

— An era far from the Pale World, crossing eternity, reaching truth, and thus temporarily safe and independent from the myriad realms of the nightmare world.

At this moment.

Whether it was Xu Xingke, Shen Ye, or Panda, they all realized one thing.

— This scene before them was a destiny humanity had never known.

It was true hope.

Xu Xingke extinguished his cigarette with two fingers, his expression gradually becoming serious.

He slowly stepped forward and placed his hand on the glowing wall brick on the city wall.

In an instant.

Lines of flowing, calligraphic brushstrokes appeared beside the wall brick:

“Displaying Xu Xingke’s unique Law Tree in advance.”

“Death Decree (Elementary Law).”

“Public law, exclusive to individual humans, eternal law.”

“Description: At any time, your full-power strike has a 1% chance to instantly kill the enemy, no matter who they are or what their rank.”

“—This move is fatal; it’s either your life or mine.”

Shen Ye gasped sharply.

Xu Xingke was also moved.

Although there was only a 1% chance, this was only the “elementary” level of the law.

Not to mention, if this law were to be born—

Every time Xu Xingke struck with full power, there would be a 1% chance of instantly killing the enemy.

This was the terrifying part!

—The Saints in the Myriad Realms were indeed powerful.

But if they angered Xu Xingke—

Come on.

Throwing caution to the wind, he’d fight them to the death.

A 1% chance.

Even a Saint could be instantly killed!

Shen Ye and Xu Xingke exchanged glances, nodding at each other.

This law was too intimidating—

“Sure enough, peace must be achieved through destruction.”

Xu Xingke smiled.

“This is called professionalism,” Shen Ye said with pleasure.

“Hey,” Panda pointed at the towering city wall, “are all the laws on this endless Great Wall exclusively for the Dog Emperor—His Mighty Holiness?”

“Yes, this is his innate law tree,” Xiao Mengyu nodded.

Xiao Mengyu shook her black flaming sword.

From that glowing brick, glowing lines snaked across the wall, illuminating brick after brick, extending to the limits of their sight.

Everyone was deeply shocked.

One person.

Had one law tree.

“Everyone as a dragon, good, very good.”

Xu Xingke’s eyes gleamed as he said in a hoarse voice.

Panda, however, sighed and said dejectedly, “So it’s your human laws, has nothing to do with me.”

Before the words fell.

Xiao Mengyu raised her long sword and pointed it at Panda Tieman.

A magnificent fortress phantom immediately appeared in front of Tieman.

A dot of light also appeared at the entrance of the fortress.

“Mine?”

Panda pointed at himself in disbelief.

“Yes,” Xiao Mengyu said.

“Why do I have one too?” Panda asked.

“The four beings in history—you are one of them, and you can gain our power by standing on the side of humanity—the more friends, the truer the peace.”

Xiao Mengyu said.

“Haha, great!”

Panda eagerly reached out a paw and slapped the fortress.

Lines of prompts then appeared on the gates of the fortress:

“Beginning to display Panda Tieman’s exclusive law tree. Currently, only the first law can be shown:”

“Iron-Eating Beast (Elementary).”

“Secret law, shared by humans and allies, eternal law, Nine Nether law.”

“Description: When you shelter 10 human warrior comrades with your door ability, you can activate a door weapon.”

While Panda was looking, Xiao Mengyu shook her sword and declared:

“I have one too!”

Streaks of glowing sword energy rose from the long sword, forming in the void:

“Currently displaying Xiao Mengyu’s first exclusive law:”

“Spark.”

“Law of Destruction.”

“Description: Enemies you kill will provide you with ‘experience points’. When ‘experience points’ are full, they can help you advance one level of strength.”

“—Stepping over the bodies of the strong.”

Silence.

Shen Ye and Xu Xingke both held their breath.

Killing enemies.

Can level up?

If everyone had such a law—

Wouldn’t other races have to avoid humans?

Xiao Mengyu suddenly sheathed her long sword.

Her face was pale, and she looked at Shen Ye apologetically, saying weakly:

“My power isn’t enough to continue demonstrating, but you definitely have one too.”

“Good,” Shen Ye said.

—As long as it exists!

“This is different from any race in the myriad realms,” Xu Xingke mused, “other races generally can only use one law.”

“Humans are different,” Xiao Mengyu said.

The three nodded in unison.

“So how can we get these laws?” Panda rubbed his paws together eagerly.

“Perhaps as the ‘Eternal Poem’ in Shen Ye’s hand says, we need to gather more destructive power,” Xiao Mengyu said.

She held the long sword with both hands.

Boom—

Boundless dark flames enveloped her, exhibiting divine power.

—She was the Thirteenth Destroyer Lord!

For a time.

Everyone was eager to try.

Laws!

And not just a single law.

—It was a Law Tree!

Who wouldn’t long for such power?

“Teacher, what do you mean?” Shen Ye asked.

“We have the identity, and the opportunity is right before us. Why not go for it?” Xu Xingke said without hesitation.

“—If I wipe out all the Destroyer Lords, will Teacher think I’m too cruel?” Shen Ye asked again.

“No, but be sure to cut the weeds and eradicate the roots,” Xu Xingke said.

“What if we can’t beat them?” Panda interjected.

“Even if we can’t beat them, we have to fight. Those Destroyer Lords destroyed our Eternal World. We have to find a way to kill them—besides, this is our humanity’s only chance!” Xu Xingke said.

“So that’s settled?”

“Mhm.”

That’s decided!

—To gather all the destructive power for Xiao Mengyu!

In this way, everyone would be able to activate their own Law Trees!

“Let’s move!”

Panda shouted.

“Okay—but what should we do now?” Xiao Mengyu asked.

“As for the Destroyer Faction, Shen Ye should be familiar with them.”

Xu Xingke said.

Shen Ye lowered his eyes slightly, walked back and forth once, then suddenly looked up and said:

“The King of Dreams has allied with the Destroyer Faction, and forces from all realms are attending the ceremony.”

“All the other Destroyer Lords have gone.”

“Once their alliance succeeds, the King of Dreams will personally intervene to help the Destroyer Lord Adrian unify all the destructive power!”

Xu Xingke was surprised and asked, “What a coincidence? We just started collecting destructive power, and they’re about to form an alliance?”

“It’s not a coincidence; there’s actually a reason for this.”

Shen Ye then explained the previous events.

He then swayed his body, splitting into two instantly.

One young Shen Ye.

One older Shen Ye.

Both had different appearances, physiques, and ages.

The older Shen Ye was the true body of Shen Ye from Earth.

The young Shen Ye was the youthful body in the multi-universe.

One of the Shen Yes raised the ring in his hand and said:

“This me is Kaelen’s attendant, possessing his ring, and can represent Kaelen in the Dream Realm.”

The other Shen Ye said, “This me hasn’t really dealt with the King of Dreams much, so I can follow Xiao Mengyu and act as her guard.”

“In that case, let’s split into two groups,” Xu Xingke said.

“Okay,” everyone echoed.

Just before they left.

Shen Ye surprisingly looked at the faint glowing small words in the void, then subtly glanced at Xiao Mengyu.

Xiao Mengyu, however, did not look at him, but transmitted her voice:

“My destructive power can help one person awaken their law in advance… I’ve already given it to you just now.”

Shen Ye said nothing, but a warmth welled up in his heart.

—No wonder she didn’t show my law tree!

It turns out she gave me the power.

This gave him a sense of confidence.

—Finally no longer needing to borrow other people’s laws, and no longer needing to worry about gains and losses!

…

Dream world.

Good Duck synchronized his memories with his other two selves, then, accompanied by Dragon Princess, walked into the secret room.

This was a very core location in the Dream World.

The room was set up with a long table.

Candles were lit on the table, emitting a dim, faint light.

Two rows of professionals sat on either side of the long table.

King of Dreams Ulric sat at the head of the table, silently observing the people on both sides.

He saw the duck.

—The existence of a diva was rare.

Even fewer divas acquired the corresponding titles.

A title like “Sacred Vocalist” had never been heard of.

—There were other “diva” titles, though.

But a duck—

It could actually “sing sacred songs”?

In a large-scale war, if everyone on their side’s skills were to be upgraded by one level—

This would be a decisive force!

Alas.

He had received the duck’s intelligence too late.

If only it had been earlier, if his skills had been upgraded by one level, he wouldn’t have been ambushed by Old John!

“Pioneers.”

Ulric spoke.

Everyone looked at him, their expressions serious.

“I was ambushed once—the enemies were those old saints. They disliked the growth of the Dream, or perhaps they had discerned my identity, so they acted together and confused my mind.”

Ulric said.

A single stone stirred a thousand ripples!

“My lord! You are a powerful Saint, would they dare to attack a Saint?”

A beautiful woman with antlers indignantly asked.

—The Dragon Lady.

“After this perilous ordeal, I realized one thing.”

Ulric began, “For countless years, the laws that allowed the myriad beings to grow have been constantly disappearing—they vanished silently, leaving only some scattered fragments.”

“What laws have fallen in the past 100 million years?”

“—That duck, tell me.”

He pointed at the duck nestled in the Dragon Lady’s arms.

Good Duck hadn’t expected to have a chance to speak, so he stood up and looked at the Dragon Lady for help.

“Calm down. I’ll speak, and you just repeat,”

Dragon Princess transmitted.

Good Duck’s heart settled, and following the Dragon Princess’s voice, he repeated:

“If I recall correctly, the laws of ‘Balance,’ ‘Rebirth,’ and ‘Sweet Rain’ have all disappeared.”

“Exactly. Do you know what common characteristic these three laws shared?” Ulric asked.

“They all benefited all living beings, allowing everything to gain something,” Good Duck said.

“Correct answer, my ‘Dream’ law can also help everyone—”

“Any law that can benefit the vast majority of beings is being systematically destroyed.”

Ulric said.

Everyone clamored, discussing amongst themselves.

But everyone knew Ulric was right.

In the past, even if someone had seen through it, they would never have dared to speak this truth!

Because speaking it would mean declaring war on all the Saints!

But at this moment.

The King of Dreams, Ulric, had spoken!

Was he going to openly oppose the other Saints?

This was a major event that would shake the myriad realms!

“If it weren’t for what happened in the Pale World, I would have already perished at the hands of John, the Saint of ‘Awareness’ Law.”

Ulric’s eyes were practically spitting fire as he continued solemnly:

“If I don’t stand up now, my entire organization and I will never have another chance.”

“Everyone!”

“Join me in battle!”

“—The Pale World is about to overturn the Ten Thousand Realms, this is a good time for us to reveal our identities and step into the open!”

“Because the Saints are already too busy to care for themselves!”

He stood up, thumped the table, and declared loudly:

“Who agrees, who disagrees?”

Dead silence.

After a long while.

A powerful figure asked, “Do we have a chance of winning?”

“Of course—I will immediately ally with destruction, and with destruction cooperating with my dream laws, it will be enough to guarantee the safety of all pioneers!”

Ulric shouted:

“We will find a haven and develop our forces, no longer exploited by other Saints!”

“Come, join my team.”

“To all pioneers—”

“You are my like-minded comrades!”

As his voice fell.

“Agreed,” the Dragon Lady said.

“Agreed,” the questioning stronger also said.

“I agree,” Good Duck chimed in, raising his wings, meeting Ulric’s approving gaze.

“I agree too.”

“Let’s fight, always hiding in the dark, I’m getting moldy all over.”

Everyone chattered.

The atmosphere gradually grew lively.

Suddenly.

Several powerhouses, along with Ulric, joined forces to pin down someone who was quietly trying to leave.

“Hm? Hydrone, where are you going?”

Ulric asked with a half-smile.

“Nothing, I just—wanted to get some fresh air outside,” the person, covered in sweat, hastily explained.

Ulric spread his hand.

A dreamlike mist unfolded in his palm.

“If that’s truly the case, come into my dream, and let me see what you were really trying to do just now, may I?”

Ulric asked.

“You and I are both pioneers, you have no right to pry into me! Ulric!” the person said sharply.

As soon as these words were uttered.

A mist immediately rose from under his feet, completely enveloping him.

Everyone looked up and saw scenes of light and shadow appearing above his head, revealing his actions in the dream.

—He himself didn’t realize he was dreaming; while everyone was still talking, he immediately launched into an attack and then fled.

In the dream—

He went to report what had happened here to another group of Saints.

“Kill him!”

The Dragon Lady said coldly.

“Yes, kill him!” Good Duck echoed.

“Kill him!”

“Kill him!”

Everyone shouted in unison.

Ulric waved his hand.

The man was instantly decapitated.

For a moment.

Everyone cheered.

Getting rid of a traitor was indeed a very morale-boosting event.

Ulric was about to say something more when a guard stepped forward and whispered something in his ear.

Ulric paused, then suddenly smiled and announced loudly:

“Everyone.”

“The Destroyer faction’s Lord has arrived!”

“Let’s welcome—”

“Adrian!”

The door of the room opened.

Adrian entered, accompanied by several Destroyer Lords.

“Good evening, everyone.”

Adrian bowed.

“Hello, Adrian, do you remember our agreement?” Ulric asked.

“Of course I remember, esteemed King of Dreams,” Adrian said.

Ulric was about to speak when he saw another door open and a guard rushed in, quickly transmitting a message.

A strange expression flickered across Ulric’s face, then he quickly regained his composure.

“I do have quite a few Destroyer Lord friends.”

“Please, let him in.”

Ulric said.

Shen Ye and Panda walked into the secret room together.

They stood on the steps, looking down.

Shen Ye calmly said:

“Good evening, esteemed King of Dreams.”

“I remember—”

“Lord Kaelen was always on your side, and Adrian merely made a deal with old John, didn’t he?”

Ulric’s expression was calm as he said,

“I greatly admire your combat skills, and I also greatly admire Lord Kaelen, but he seems to have died.”

“The Destroyer Lords are immortal,” Shen Ye said.

“So you can represent his will?” Ulric asked.

Shen Ye raised his hand, displaying the “rebellious ring” belonging to Kaelen, and said:

“I can represent him.”

Everyone exchanged glances.

—Two groups from the Destroyer faction had arrived!

What were they going to do about this?

Suddenly.

The void opened.

Xiao Mengyu, holding a divine sword, descended with Xu Xingke and another Shen Ye, landing in the room.

шшш ＿Tтkд n ＿￠ 〇

“Hello, Lord Ulric.”

Xiao Mengyu said.

“You are—” Ulric hesitated.

“Hearing that you are allying with my Destroyer Faction, I naturally came to see for myself,” Xiao Mengyu said.

Xu Xingke was on her left, radiating powerful aura, watching sharply like an eagle.

Shen Ye was on her right, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword—

The long sword, covered in snake scales, exuded 36 laws of power even before it was drawn.

As for Xiao Mengyu—

Her sword intent made people tremble with fear.

—Such a combination made it difficult to gauge their strength.

Ulric’s lips moved, and then he finally smiled.

He had not quite anticipated this.

At this moment.

Apart from Orcus and Kaelen, all the Destroyer Lords were gathered in the Dream World!

“So it’s the Thirteenth Destroyer Lord, and the most mysterious one—I remember you never appeared before—of course, I didn’t expect to alarm you, my apologies, beautiful lady.”

Ulric bowed slightly.
