Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 661

Chapter 644: Super Modified Emergence Sequence VS Classical Natural Sequence

In the dark night.

The rain pattered “shhh-shhh-shhh”.

That gigantic eye stared fixedly at Shen Ye.

Its eerie light illuminated all the rain in the sky a crimson red.

Blood rain fell.

Shen Ye took a deep breath, gripping the Nether Bamboo Blade, ready to enter battle at any moment.

There was no escaping anyway!

No other choice!

Time for a fight.

He was about to draw his blade when he suddenly noticed that two of the three people beside him had instantly turned into skeletons.

The female archer!

The mage!

Neither of them even let out a scream—

Their flesh and blood peeled away, bone wings grew from their skeletal bodies, and they flew into the sky, disappearing into the colossal eyeball.

They died just like that.

Damn it!

Shen Ye was about to strike immediately, but a line of shimmering tiny words appeared before his eyes:

“Don’t move!”

“Sequence ‘Godslayer IV’ is activating a faction united deliberation. You will be fine.”

Shen Ye couldn’t help but say, “But those two people—”

Two more lines of tiny words popped up:

“They are subordinates of this Outer God. They have a trust agreement with the Outer God, and everything proceeds by law.”

“This has nothing to do with you, nor with justice.”

Shen Ye suddenly fell silent.

Absolutely right.

He was new here, had no intelligence whatsoever, so why should he stick his neck out for them?

—Just now, these three claimed they were pursuing an Outer God’s apostle.

Yet two of them had an agreement with an Outer God?

Don’t be fooled!

At least wait until he knew what was going on before making any further plans.

He lowered his blade and simply stood in the rain.

The greatsword knight named “White” had a pale face, but seemed to understand the urgency of the situation, standing beside Shen Ye.

“It’s a deliberation…”

He whispered, a hint of fear in his eyes as he looked at Shen Ye.

Shen Ye looked up at the dark sky.

The Outer God’s eye had closed.

It continuously emitted a “buzzing” sound, as if communicating with something in the void.

A scene of light and shadow suddenly flickered in the void.

Valhalla was weaving through a rain of swords, but Shen Ye rushed over and tightly hugged its leg.

It was at that moment!

A long sword sliced Valhalla in two.

Valhalla was killed!

Shen Ye’s eyes widened.

—This isn’t the truth!

Why would I hug its leg?

He was about to say something, but saw several more lines of shimmering tiny words appear:

“This is to gain the trust of the various sequences.”

“—You wouldn’t want to fight all the Outer Gods of the Old Day Sequence right off the bat, rookie.”

Shen Ye’s mouth opened, then slowly closed.

Alright then.

Don’t say it if you don’t want to.

But why is the way you talk to me so annoying?

At this moment.

An invisible ripple came from the sky.

A certain ominous atmosphere slowly dissipated from the night rain.

The gigantic eyeball was gone.

“Saved…”

White murmured.

Shen Ye noticed a faint holy light emanating from him.

—He had it too.

So this guy was in the same sequence as himself?

Shimmering tiny words quietly appeared.

White and Shen Ye looked at the void together, and began to read the sequence content:

“Deliberation concluded.”

“Valhalla’s death in the demonic invasion is a major event in this world.”

“Given Godslayer Baxter’s contribution to this event, both of you are deemed ‘worthy of continued existence’ by the Old Day faction.”

“—’Yoke Soul Devourer’ was the only sequence to cast a dissenting vote; the objection is not upheld.”

“You are now free.”

The heavy rain ceaselessly hammered the ground, producing a dense sound.

In the wilderness.

A low sobbing sound could be heard.

White knelt on the ground, his hands clutching his head, looking sorrowful and despairing.

“Hey.”

Shen Ye squatted down and asked curiously:

“You finally survived; why are you crying?”

“All efforts have been in vain,” White sighed.

He tapped in the void and dragged a piece of nothingness with his finger, placing it in front of Shen Ye.

Ding!

“Your co-sequencer has shared a mission log with you. Do you wish to receive it?”

“Receive.” Shen Ye said.

Lines of shimmering tiny words kept appearing.

As Shen Ye read, his face couldn’t help but show sympathy.

This big brother was a “junior Godslayer” and had been at this level for seven or eight years.

Recently, his life was very tight, and to survive, he had to find a way to advance his sequence level.

His mission was to “develop divine believers.”

The mage was his creditor.

The female archer was someone he wooed by sacrificing his attractiveness.

The three agreed to go to the wilderness to kill an Outer God’s apostle, complete the “rebellion” ritual, and temporarily join the “Godslayer” sequence.

After he completed his mission—

The mage and the female archer would find a way to return to their original sequences.

As for this Big Brother White, he would also improve his sequence level.

He would become stronger, able to make money, which was good news for both his creditor and his girlfriend.

The three hit it off.

Unfortunately.

They didn’t find the Outer God’s apostle, but encountered the Outer God itself.

The two traitors naturally died.

Big Brother White’s mission failed, and he lost his loved one—

“Cheer up, at least you’re alive, right?”

Shen Ye patted his shoulder and consoled him.

“Thank you for saving my life, now let’s return to the church, my lord,” White said.

He formed hand seals and cast a teleportation spell.

Whoosh!

The two disappeared from the wilderness simultaneously.

…

Star-Moon City.

West City, Renzhuo Street.

In a cramped, small house.

With a “bang,” White and Shen Ye appeared.

“This is the Church?”

Shen Ye looked around.

Large patches of white paint peeled off the walls, revealing incomplete bricks underneath.

There was a rusty mechanical arm in the corner.

Aside from that—

The only furniture in the entire room was a wooden bed.

No. It should be called a wooden plank.

Shen Ye saw a broken bowl and a cracked plate on the bed.

Two flies were mating on the rim of the broken bowl.

This was probably the only happy atmosphere in the entire room.

Speaking of which—

So this bed could also serve as a dining table?

“My lord, the environment is a bit rough, but in the city now, every inch of land is precious. To have a place like this to stay is already good,” White said.

He handed a key to Shen Ye.

“This is?”

“The key to the Church, my lord.”

White stepped back a few paces, bowed slightly to Shen Ye, walked out of the room, and then suddenly said:

“Tomorrow, strange monsters will besiege the city. I’ll go prepare.”

With that, he strode away.

He left.

Tsk.

What’s with the strange monsters besieging the city?

As Shen Ye pondered, he suddenly saw a line of shimmering tiny characters appear before his eyes:

“A junior sequencer has exited the Godslayer sequence.”

“Remaining members of the Godslayer sequence:”

“1 person.”

That White guy exited the sequence!

Shen Ye was silent for a few breaths, then murmured, “Sequence, was he really your sequencer?”

Shimmering tiny words appeared:

“Not so. The true sequence and sequencer are only you and I.”

“Currently, I am hidden beneath the ‘Godslayer’ sequence, borrowing its rank.”

“—This is ‘the Lord’s’ help and concealment.”

“The sequencers you see are ‘the Lord’s’ believers and members of ‘the Godslayer,’ unrelated to me.”

“I have a business partnership with that sequence.”

So that’s how it is.

—His relationship with “the Lord” was also like this!

“So what’s your name now, Sequence?”

“Cannot be said. Once uttered, it would be perceived—in short, both you and I have been disguised.”

“…I need some basic information,” Shen Ye said.

“You are currently a mid-level sequencer and cannot obtain basic information from this sequence,” the sequence said.

“Must it be a newcomer?” Shen Ye asked.

“Finding a newcomer for ‘Godslayer’ is equivalent to helping it expand its power. It will definitely provide basic information.”

“Good.”

Shen Ye tilted his head in thought, then spread his arms and shouted:

“It’s decided, you’re the one! Come out!”

Bang!

A soft sound.

A door opened in the void.

Xu Xingke walked out from the door.

“Something’s up?”

He asked.

“Teacher, join the sequence. We need information now,” Shen Ye said.

He explained what had happened.

“…Sounds interesting, I’ll join,” Xu Xingke said.

Shen Ye’s sequence only loaded him.

If Xu Xingke joined, he would truly join the “Godslayer” sequence and become a sequencer of “the Lord.”

Following the sequence’s prompts, Shen Ye completed the entire sequence joining ritual.

Soon.

A faint holy light appeared on Xu Xingke.

“Teacher, quickly check if there are any hints,” Shen Ye asked.

“Wait—yes, there’s a world situation explanation.”

Xu Xingke gazed at the void and began:

“So the human civilization on the other shore has developed to this extent.”

“To what extent?”

“The old order couldn’t resist the bizarre and the apocalypse, so it decided to modify itself genetically.”

“Through artificial intelligence, using massive algorithms to analyze the operation of laws, deduce the patterns of the apocalyptic sequence, and establish humanity’s own sequences in a model-based way.”

“So powerful! Did it really succeed?” Shen Ye asked in surprise.

“Half-successful.”

Xu Xingke sighed and continued:

“Most sequences created this way have flaws, because no one, apart from the Old Day High-Dimensional Lord, can claim to understand the operational rules of all laws—”

“Artificial intelligence also doesn’t have enough law samples and can only barely deduce.”

“Many emergent law arrangements went wrong, directly arranging laws in an ‘artificial’ way to form emergences.”

“Outer Gods were born.”

“They came from human technology, but they looked down on humanity.”

“The sequences ruled by Outer Gods are collectively called—”

“Super Modified Emergence Sequences.”

Shen Ye immediately asked:

“What about our current ‘Godslayer’?”

“Probably that too,” Xu Xingke said uncertainly.

Two lines of shimmering tiny characters quietly appeared:

“It is a Classical Natural Sequence that ‘the Lord’ secretly placed among numerous artificial sequences.”

“No one knows about this.”

Understood.

Now, let’s take care of pressing matters.

“Strange monsters will attack the city tomorrow, Teacher. Let’s raise your sequence level first.”

Shen Ye said.

“Okay, let me see… there’s a sequence mission.”

“What is it?”

“To obtain reliable strange skills, one must complete a sequence mission—”

Xu Xingke read: “Open for Business.”

“…” Shen Ye.

Open for Business again.

“Is it about making money?” he asked.

“Indeed, you need to operate the Church and earn money from the human world. ‘Open for Business’ will complete the mission,” Xu Xingke said.

Shen Ye said, “Teacher, leave this to me.”

“Do you know how to run a church?”

“An old trade.”

—Anyway, whatever he did, “the Lord” would cover it with divine magic.

A few minutes later.

The Church was cleaned thoroughly.

The “Godslayer Church” plaque outside was taken down and replaced with a new sign:

“Sacred Restaurant.”

“Serving: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.”

Xu Xingke looked up at the sign, feeling a bit uncertain.

Then he turned around—

He saw Shen Ye performing an extremely advanced divine spell.

The next second.

A humanoid figure had appeared in the Church.

—It seemed to be a cat?

Just a rather large one.

“Who is this?” Xu Xingke asked.

“A Sacred Cat, I usually call him Uncle Seven,” Shen Ye introduced.
