Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 644

The Myriad Realms revived.

In the void.

Everything remained as usual.

Most people didn’t even know what had happened.

Under the intentional control of Shen Ye and Xu Xingke.

Only a very small number of professionals, who had re-established contact through their tarot cards, knew the truth of the matter.

“Everything as usual.”

This was the best strategy against the enemy.

Everything in the parallel world continued to operate along its original trajectory.

Shen Ye also continued her extremely ordinary work and life within the Myriad Realms Survival Society, in the identity of “Jiu,” a young girl from the Split Bee Tribe.

Everything proceeded quietly.

Everyone held their breath, waiting.

—Waiting for a certain moment to arrive.

“Ding-a-ling!”

A pleasant bell rang.

Jiu stretched, got up from her office chair, slung her small bag over her shoulder, and walked out with light steps.

The morning work was over.

Time to eat!

She walked towards the cafeteria and soon saw a few colleagues waiting for her.

That little flower—

The Saint behind her had already died.

Xiao Hua smiled and waved:

“Over here!”

“Okay—what are we eating for lunch today?” Jiu asked.

“How about Saint’s human meat buns?” Xiao Hua asked.

“Haha, I’m on a diet recently, too much fat on my waist, my pants don’t fit anymore,” Jiu said, covering her mouth with a laugh.

“Hahahaha!”

The surrounding colleagues all laughed.

Everyone happily continued towards the cafeteria.

“Then how about eating a Modifier? Its meat is more delicious, especially after death. One bite can make you immortal.”

Xiao Hua suggested.

“What’s a Modifier?” Jiu asked with a puzzled expression.

“You killed it, didn’t you? Don’t you know it’s edible?” Xiao Hua asked.

“Me? Killed a Modifier?” Jiu pointed to herself, then suddenly realized, “I know! You’re talking about an online game, right? I haven’t played it recently.”

Xiao Hua emphasized, “I’m talking about the real-life Modifier, its corpse—”

“Hey, I said I’m dieting, I’m eating vegetarian recently!”

Jiu interrupted her, saying with a hint of reproach.

Other colleagues suggested:

“Since that’s the case, let’s go for a buffet!”

“Okay.”

“Alright, alright!”

A group of people walked into the cafeteria.

In the center of the cafeteria lay a corpse.

The corpse—

It was the corpse of that Modifier.

The wounds cut by the Ethereal Blade were still shocking.

Everyone looked at Jiu coldly.

Jiu was stunned for a moment, rubbed her eyes, and said in surprise:

“They’re serving a corpse directly in the cafeteria? Am I dreaming?”

Before she finished speaking.

She opened her eyes.

Looked around.

This was her cubicle.

She had fallen asleep just now.

…Could someone like me accidentally fall asleep?

Jiu quickly made a guess.

Yes.

She was the Lord of Dream Laws, a newly appointed Dream Saint.

For someone else to be able to use dreams against her.

There was only one plausible reason—

She was completely outmatched by the opponent!

As Jiu was thinking, she suddenly saw two lines of faint text appear silently:

“Be careful.”

“They are coming.”

Who?

More text appeared:

“Current Sequence: Exile has detected that you possess the ‘Eternal Poem.’ The ‘Eternal Poem’ is being activated and loaded into Sequence ‘Exile’.”

“Do you permit this?”

“Why can it be loaded?” Jiu asked.

Faint text appeared:

“‘Eternal Poem’ is a mission, and the Sequence is the vessel for completing the mission.”

“The mission is supreme but cannot generate execution steps;”

“The Sequence has execution procedures that condense all laws but has no purpose.”

“Among all realms, it is extremely difficult for any being to obtain one of ‘Mission’ and ‘Sequence,’ let alone obtain both simultaneously.”

“If you possess both ‘Mission’ and ‘Sequence’ simultaneously, they can become a complete entity.”

Complete entity…

Jiu fell into contemplation.

Information was the most important thing.

If she obtained this complete entity, she might be able to find some information about the other shore from it.

Otherwise.

She wouldn’t even know what kind of enemy she was facing.

She should agree to this.

But—

“Wait a minute, are you that Watch?” Jiu asked.

A line of faint text appeared:

“The Watch is the consciousness of the Hive. It does not exist independently; it is the Hive.”

“So,” Jiu probed, “you had already discovered that I have the Eternal Poem on me, right?”

“Absolutely correct. If you didn’t have a mission, the Hive would have activated the Sequence for you, and the Sequence would have wasted its power aimlessly, all in vain.”

Understood.

So her passing the trial was only one aspect.

Because she possessed a mission (Eternal Poem), the Hive finally chose her.

“Alright, I allow you to load my mission.”

Jiu said.

In an instant.

Jiu suddenly found herself standing next to someone.

A person completely black, exactly like herself!

Who was this?

Luckily, she was used to all sorts of situations, so she didn’t reveal anything now, but instead said loudly:

“Hey, is the morning’s work finished yet?”

“All done, boss.” Several colleagues responded.

“Good, then I’m off to eat.” Jiu said, getting up.

“You’ve worked hard!”

Jiu nodded at them and walked out of the office.

The black figure also followed her.

Lines of faint text appeared silently:

“The power of the Hive has unfolded.”

“You are the exiled emperor in incubation, a future giant beast of laws, one of the beings who will change the myriad realms.”

“Your Sequence has loaded the human destiny ‘Eternal Poem.'”

“After the Sequence: Exile obtains its mission, it begins to expand its Sequence prefix.”

“Congratulations.”

“Your Sequence has grown into a Mission Sequence:”

“Sequence: Exiled Emperor.”

“Furthermore.”

“You have completed the first item of the human race’s mission:”

“Eliminate hidden dangers.”

“Description: You discovered the Mechanical Hermit, hidden behind the scenes and constantly manipulating the fate of humanity, and defeated it and its Modifier.”

“With this feat, your Saint Skill has been elevated to the Aether level, transforming into a new pupil technique worthy of you and suitable for future wars:”

“Eye of Truth.”

“A fundamental skill of the Sequence, a bizarre pupil technique beyond Aether, a passive skill.”

“Description: You can see the permutation and combination of all laws, and the existence hidden behind them.”

“—Only the Sequence Emperor who destroys destiny possesses that ineffable supreme authority, allowing them to discern the truth behind history.”

The pupil technique had evolved.

It seemed that allowing the mission to be loaded onto the Sequence was indeed the correct decision.

Jiu suddenly turned around, went back to her desk, and muttered to herself:

“Forgot my access card.”

She picked up her access card and walked out again.

In this process—

She saw her black self.

That self was forming a hand seal with both hands, slowly releasing it.

She saw it!

Relying on the power of her pupil technique, she not only saw this hidden individual but also her spell!

Jiu watched the black figure’s spell out of the corner of her eye.

She saw a line of faint text appearing next to the opponent’s hand seal:

“Nightmare Unleashed Technique.”

“Dream law spell.”

“Description: Release a targeted dream to test everyone in the entire building to see if they know about events happening in other parallel worlds.”

Jiu looked at it for a few moments and realized.

So it was a dream-based probing spell.

Fortunately, she hadn’t given herself away just now.

Wait—

It released this spell again, which meant—

She and the others would fall for it again!

As Jiu was thinking, she suddenly saw someone turn the corner at the end of the hallway.

The Modifier!

It stared at Jiu coldly and said:

“So you’re here.”

Jiu froze for a moment, stopped, and said, “I’m Jiu, in charge of warehouse management in the Aether Affairs Department. Who are you? Are you new here?”

“I am the Modifier.”

“Strange name—but since you’re here, pay up.”

“What money?”

“Nonsense, I’m your new superior. Don’t you know how to show respect?”

“…”

Jiu opened her eyes.

She was still slumped over her desk.

It had been a dream just now.

She yawned, stretched, and mumbled, “A dream of getting rich…”

Not far from her—

Others also woke up one after another.

Perhaps due to the influence of other laws, no one found this strange.

Jiu got up again and said:

“Hey, is the morning’s work finished yet?”

“All done, boss.” Several colleagues responded.

“Good, then I’m off to eat.” Jiu said, getting up.

“You’ve worked hard!”

Jiu stood up and glanced at the black shadow out of the corner of her eye.

The black shadow stood there blankly, seeming a little disappointed.

—That battle was over.

The entire parallel world had been completely destroyed.

No one knew what had happened.

Even the awakened people, when Shen Ye restored them with “Mandala Chants,” had their memories of the war erased.

With the help of Queen Susu, Cassandra of the Spirit Catching Net, and Chatterley of the Multiverse, three True Reality Artifacts—

People only remembered that the number of Saints was small.

Those who died were forgotten.

That was all.

From the enemy’s perspective, they had lost a Mechanical Hermit and a Modifier on their side.

Other than that.

They knew nothing.

—Shen Ye therefore believed that this battle might truly deceive the heavens and cross the sea!

Jiu walked through the long corridor and arrived at the cafeteria.

There weren’t many people here yet.

A professional—

Intense wind elemental laws emanated from his body, indicating that he was likely a Saint in charge of wind.

Perhaps feeling that his strength was insufficient, he did not participate in the previous battle but instead hid, only to be killed by the aftershocks of the Modifier’s spell in the final fight.

In any case—

He had been resurrected by Shen Ye.

A black shadow also stood beside him at this moment.

Jiu watched for a few moments, nodding secretly.

So that’s how it is.

This black shadow must have needed reference to be produced.

—When they used a Saint as a reference, they could unleash the power of a Saint!

Jiu took a tray to get food.

But then she saw the Saint’s black shadow suddenly begin to form a hand seal.

Faint lines of text appeared on its hands:

“Wind Piercing Technique.”

“Description: Using silent wind, strip everyone of a certain designated item.”

Jiu instantly transferred all suspicious items in her storage ring into her Dharma Aspect.

In a flick of a finger.

The opponent’s spell succeeded.

A gentle breeze swept through the entire cafeteria, and even the entire building.

Everyone’s valuables were gone!

Jiu had nothing on her except a storage ring, which was the most precious.

The ring instantly disappeared.

—Inside, it only contained a few sets of clothes, a salary card, a standard office personnel’s saber, and some inherited items from the Split Bee Tribe.

It was absolutely pristine.

Jiu ordered some dishes, carried her tray, found a seat, and ate with relish.

The black shadow was still performing the spell.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

The storage ring returned to Jiu’s finger.

And the corresponding spell effect was just an imperceptible light breeze.

—This spell is quite interesting!

Jiu, like everyone else, seemed to be oblivious to it, only focusing on eating her meal.

Thinking about it carefully.

Fortunately, almost all the Saints were dead.

There were too few Saints that those black shadows could reference, so many tricky and strange spells couldn’t be used.

Overall.

Everything was still relatively safe.

Jiu thought silently, finished her meal, wiped her mouth, and walked out of the building.

In the square.

Dense black shadows stood motionless.

They stared intently at every passerby, trying to find even the slightest bit of useful information from them.

Jiu smiled and greeted a passing colleague.

—I take back what I just said.

This is not safe at all!

She quickly crossed the square, returned to her room, washed up briefly, then lay on the bed and began to rest.

The black shadow referencing the dream law had been following her.

Even when she rested.

The black shadow continued to unleash dream spells.

One spell after another pierced through the void, heading towards the myriad realms—

It seemed to be checking the entire myriad realms.

Jiu closed her eyes slightly, yawned, and quietly rested—as if she couldn’t see the other party at all.

For a moment.

Lines of faint text appeared on her retina:

“Mission loaded successfully.”

“The Sequence has discovered that you have completed the first mission of the human race.”

“The Sequence is unfolding the second mission, making it concrete, and obtaining the prerequisite task:”

“The Emperor’s Retainer.”

“Description: You and your world are highly likely to be discovered within 24 hours. To avoid this destructive fate, you need to find a key individual and seek their assistance.”

“—Key individual has been marked.”

“—Commanding other powerful individuals to serve you is one of the core abilities of the Emperor Sequence.”

Tsk.

Seek the assistance of other powerful individuals?

But in the myriad realms, who could resist such a search?

Suddenly, Chatterley’s voice rang in her ear:

“Attention, there’s an anomaly in the Dharma Aspect.”

Jiu opened her eyes a slit.

She did nothing but silently activate another clone hidden in her Dharma Aspect.

The Original Spirit of Destruction—

Good ducky!

It jumped out, looking around with a stern expression, but Chatterley hugged it in her arms.

“It’s that guy.”

Chatterley whispered.

Good ducky turned its head in the direction Chatterley indicated and saw Rahu, bound to a pillar by White Emperor, staring at it.

—Everyone thought he was unreliable, so they sealed him here.

A continuous stream of runes circulated around him.

“Mark: Future powerful being from the other shore.”

“This being may possess a Sequence from the other shore. You need to borrow its identity to stir the void and summon its future self to serve you.”

“Summoning method: Tell its current self verbally that you will grant it one wish.”

“Once the wish is fulfilled, this Sequence can use its identity to summon its future self to serve you.”

Good ducky flew forward, circled Rahu once, feeling somewhat uncertain about this.

Indeed.

Its Sequence had already made a mark.

But next, she had to grant Rahu a wish?

What if he asked for too much?

…That would be difficult.

“Brother, welcome to my place.”

Good ducky said in a sincere tone.

Rahu stared at it, his lips moved, but he couldn’t speak for a long time.

—You were the one who agreed to them tying me up!

And you were the one who sealed me here!

Now you still have the nerve to call me brother?

“I remember during the team battle, everyone was supposed to enter the Hive first, but you cut in and went ahead.”

“—That was a truly memorable battle.”

Good ducky mused.

Rahu’s eyes rolled, and he said:

“Are you still angry about that?”

“A little, after all, you didn’t really care about the team.” Good ducky said.

It gritted its teeth, suddenly pulled out the Ethereal Blade, licked the blade with its duck lips, and its voice became even colder:

“Speak, before I deal with you, I can grant you one wish.”

“Don’t kill me!” Rahu shouted loudly.

“Deal.” Good ducky sheathed its blade and snapped its fingers.

—But no prompt appeared in the void.

Didn’t it work?

Good ducky was a little confused.

It looked at Rahu, only to see a line of faint text appear above Rahu’s head:

“Waiting for target confirmation.”

—Rahu’s confirmation was still needed!

“What exactly do you want? To kill me? Or do you have some other intention?”

Rahu asked hesitantly.

“Nothing,” good ducky said solemnly, “Originally everyone wanted me to kill you, but now your wish is not to be killed, and I’m going to fulfill that wish.”

“—Or do you not want me to do that?”

The long saber was drawn again, placed against Rahu’s neck, and pressure was already being applied.

The sharp pain from the cutting edge indicated decapitation.

Decapitation was in progress!

“Don’t kill me!”

“Of course I wish you would stop!”

Rahu had no time to think and spoke repeatedly.

—Clang!

A sound.

The Sequence activated!

A faint sense of something missing, as if something very important had been lost, appeared in Rahu’s heart.

“What were you doing just now?”

He couldn’t help but ask.

“Sparing your life, is that so strange?” Good ducky countered.

Rahu still felt something was off and said:

“Listen to me, good brother, first let me go, and I’ll serve the team well!”

Good ducky was already too lazy to bother with it.

Lines of faint text appeared in the void:

“An exiled emperor is still an emperor. It generously granted the other’s wish, thus revising this period of history in everyone’s memory.”

“Many years later, in that distant future, when Rahu recalls the moment of life and death, he will surely remember this afternoon when you overruled all objections and spared his life.”

“The Sequence begins to summon the future Rahu.”

“Summoning successful!”

“The future Rahu has decided to come to the rescue!”

All the small words disappeared.

The matter seemed to have been successfully handled.

Jiu lay on the bed, turned over, and continued to sleep comfortably.

—Nothing happened.

The Sequence had done something strange, and now nothing was happening—

What would happen next?

Suddenly.

A voice appeared in her mind:

“Hello, esteemed Sequence Emperor.”

—It was Rahu!

But why did this voice exude an unprecedented confidence?

Looking at Rahu, who was tied up in the Dharma Aspect, he had a suspicious look on his face, not like he was transmitting a message to her.

“I am Rahu from the future, guided by the Sequence, here to help.”

The voice said.

“You want to help me?” Jiu tentatively asked.

“Back then, everyone wanted to kill me, but you overruled all objections and spared my life. Although I, Rahu, am not a good person, I have always remembered that!”

The voice said with emotion.

“I just felt you shouldn’t die like that.” Jiu said sincerely.

—You actually have so much use?

“Leave the rest to me. I will find an uninhabited parallel world and lure all those trash from the other shore there, washing away your suspicions.”

Rahu said.

“Be careful.” Jiu instructed.

“Don’t worry, I am Rahu the Demon.”

The voice said faintly.

Silence returned to her ears.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

Suddenly—

The black shadow standing by the bed seemed to sense something, darted directly out of the window, shot into the sky, and instantly disappeared into the distance.

In the square.

All the black shadows flew high into the sky, merging into the aether, and vanished.

They seemed to be attracted by something beyond the aether and left this place completely unattended!

The world returned to peace.

But.

With Jiu’s current strength, she could sense that in certain spaces beyond the aether, an unimaginable battle was taking place.

The intensity of that power fluctuation, even through the aether, could still be sensed by her.

…Too strong.

“Sequence, you summoned his future self. What if he does whatever he wants in this era, and we can’t stop him? What then?”

Jiu couldn’t help but ask.

A line of faint text appeared:

“Don’t worry, it can only do things within the scope of its ‘wish fulfillment.’ Anything beyond that will be ineffective and will result in immediate penalties and expulsion.”

“Penalties?”

“Yes, it will lose a lot of its cultivation to compensate you—believe me, that’s something it cannot bear.”

Only then did Jiu feel slightly relieved.

Time slowly passed.

Until the afternoon.

Break time was over.

Jiu got up, changed her clothes, looked in the mirror, and went to work with her small bag.

Nothing happened all afternoon.

She just sat at her cubicle, completing some office documents.

Until evening.

Lines of faint text appeared before her eyes again:

“Your future attendant is serving diligently.”

“This service has been successful.”

“The enemy’s main force has been lured to an uninhabited parallel world and engaged in a great battle.”

“Please continue to survive until 24 hours have passed to complete the Sequence task ‘Exiled Emperor of the Old Days’.”
