Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 674

“Hold on, I need a little more time on my end.”

Xiao Mengyu transmitted her voice.

She held the Royal City Central Scepter high, as if sensing something in the void.

Hold on…

Shen Ye looked at the refined man opposite him and the gigantic female head dharma idol behind him.

The dharma idol was indescribably bizarre.

Besides the double rebound, there must be other abilities.

Just like his own “Gatekeeper’s Cage: Bone Temple of the Acting Warden,” it also had a second ability: “You and your prisoner can borrow each other’s abilities.”

Aside from that—

This guy also had that “take whatever you want” emergence technique.

—At least B-level.

And it was a top-tier B-level!

It’s really hard to fight.

“Die, you smelly duck!”

The refined man shouted sharply.

Good Duck Duck, who was entangled with him, was immediately stared at by the female head, whose eyes emitted crimson rays.

Good Duck Duck had nowhere to hide.

A hand reached out from the void and took the duck back.

“Who!”

The refined man roared, rushing forward and relentlessly attacking the void several times.

But he didn’t catch anything.

The duck was gone.

“How is that possible! There’s nothing I can’t catch!”

The refined man roared, his muscles swelling, and his entire body transformed into wriggling blackness.

But the next instant.

He suddenly reverted to a human form.

“My apologies.”

The refined man smiled at Shen Ye and sighed:

“My most prized capture technique was broken. I’m very curious about what level of ability that was.”

“—After all, you don’t seem that powerful.”

Shen Ye was silent for a moment.

Exile’s Haven.

Gate ability.

It was evolved from the fusion of the power of the Old High-Dimensional Lords and the power of the Doomsday Annihilation.

In front of this gate ability, it’s normal that you can’t catch a duck.

Besides—

If it came to a head-on fight, both sides hadn’t really revealed their full strength yet.

“That’s S-level power.”

Shen Ye said.

“I guessed as much! Could you please tell me its name?” The refined man asked politely.

He seemed to remember something and said earnestly:

“I forgot to introduce myself—since you have such an S-level ability, it would be too impolite of me not to be formal.”

“I am the Scarlet Weaver of the Twisted Sanctuary, named Lyman.”

As soon as his voice fell.

A familiar, ominous premonition suddenly arose in Shen Ye’s heart.

This was the same sense of utter despair and dread he had felt before the battle began.

Impossible.

It was just a name.

Why would he react like this?

Shen Ye’s eyes moved, and he saw the dharma idol behind Lyman—

The huge, seven-bleeding-orifice woman moved.

It moved…

Could dharma idols move?

For example, his Gatekeeper’s Cage could construct a Bone Temple.

But the opponent’s dharma idol seemed to—

Have its own consciousness?

Shen Ye’s heart trembled.

He knew where the fear came from.

Dharma idol—

Or rather, the Bizarre Shadow—

The power of such a thing was extremely formidable.

Humans also relied on the blessings of such bizarre powers to multiply their attack and defense.

If it had independent consciousness…

It would be like nuclear weapons gaining sentience in human society.

Shen Ye roared, slashing three times at the void in front of him.

Emergence Blade Technique: Three Spring Glows!

As the blade light flashed—

Lyman raised his hand and smiled:

“My blade is not enough in front of my dharma idol.”

The giant female head behind him blew a breath.

In an instant.

The three rays of blade light instantly transformed into six streaks of cold light, coiling back towards Shen Ye.

Shen Ye raised his blade and, with a gentle flick, caught them.

The six cold lights wrapped around the spine of the blade, vibrating continuously with the long blade, and were gradually ground away by the blade’s edge.

—This blade was almost dao-like, effortless, a deflecting force with minimal effort!

“Excellent swordsmanship!”

Lyman exclaimed in admiration.

Shen Ye, however, didn’t have time to look at him and transmitted his voice to Xiao Mengyu:

“Not ready yet?”

Xiao Mengyu didn’t respond.

A strange expression appeared on her face.

The Royal City Central Scepter emitted a dim yellow light, enveloping her like a barrier, separating her from everything around her.

Lines of faint glowing text quietly appeared:

“Xiao Mengyu has completed the task.”

“She has successfully guarded the Royal City, met the sequence requirements, and is about to enter the past era.”

“Your task has also been completed.”

Shen Ye couldn’t even hear her voice.

He just looked at these prompts, then saw Xiao Mengyu turn her head, her expression anxious, and utter two words to him.

If one carefully observed her lip movements, those two words were—

“Go quickly.”

She wants me to go?

Why not go together?

Shen Ye seemed to understand something but still had many unanswered questions.

But—

Lyman had already cast a new spell.

“Watch me use this spell to break your blade technique!”

He shouted with great enthusiasm.

Suddenly.

The giant female head behind him moved again.

This time, it was completely different from last time.

The female head gently opened its mouth and inhaled.

Shen Ye was directly sucked into her mouth, about to be swallowed—

Boom!!!

A thick white beam of light blasted over, hitting the woman’s cheek, causing her to pause slightly.

A surprise attack from the heavy cannon!

Seizing the moment—

“Open the door!”

Shen Ye roared.

A hand quietly appeared behind Shen Ye, gently pulling him into the Exile’s Haven.

“Xiao Mengyu is still there.”

Good Duck Duck said anxiously.

“I tried, she wouldn’t come over.” Another Shen Ye immediately interjected.

“Keep the heavy cannon firing, keep summoning coffins, and we’ll prepare again—”

Shen Ye’s voice stopped abruptly.

Since the White Emperor was still wielding the heavy cannon outside, Shen Ye could also sense the changes in the situation outside.

Xiao Mengyu—

Transformed into a dim yellow streak of light, she soared into the sky and disappeared.

For a moment.

The entire “Gods and Ghosts Society” world suddenly became clear and real.

The Royal City reappeared.

But the entire city was empty.

Only Lyman and the gigantic female head dharma idol behind him hovered in place.

“They ran away.”

Lyman’s face was pale as he turned to look at the female head.

The female head suddenly transformed into a mass of black shadow, enveloping Lyman, turning him into a giant covered in long red hair in an instant.

This giant was not only covered in long hair—

No, that wasn’t long hair.

Those were slender blood vessels, each with a vertical pupil!

Boom—

The White Emperor had just finished firing a cannon and hadn’t had time to react before Shen Ye pulled him into the Exile’s Haven.

But the siege heavy cannon was seized by the giant and crushed into powder.

Splash!

The giant casually flicked his hand.

The heavy cannon—or rather, the “Almighty” Valhalla—simply scattered as dust in the void.

“Come out.”

The giant’s voice was dry, yet it carried an almost insane magical power, seemingly capable of commanding everything around it.

All the dust instantly condensed into form, transforming into Valhalla.

“Break.”

The giant uttered another word.

Shen Ye immediately felt something.

—His connection with Valhalla was severed by force!

What kind of bizarre power was this!

The binding power of the dharma idol “Gatekeeper’s Cage: Bone Temple of the Acting Warden” was actually forcibly broken!

“Hoo… hoo…”

Valhalla knelt on one knee, his arms spread, and said in an almost fawning tone:

“Successor to the Crown of Entropy’s End, the pinnacle of Emerging Distortion, the unrivaled Sovereign, I sincerely thank you.”

“You saved me from bondage!”

The giant looked down at him and said softly:

“Pitiable experimental subject, you are not even one percent of the true ‘Omniscient and Omnipotent One.’ Now, if you wish to continue existing, do not resist.”

Dense-packed blood vessels reached out towards Valhalla.

For a moment—Valhalla seemed to want to resist.

But in the end, he stood there motionless, allowing countless blood vessels to pierce his body.

“Ah—”

He let out a painful scream.

At the same time.

Shen Ye immediately sensed something.

He suddenly looked up at the sky, lost in thought:

“Impossible…”

But nothing was impossible.

In the ethereal sky above the Exile’s Haven, a colossal shadow quietly emerged.

The giant.

Its shadow looked around, as if searching for the location of the Exile’s Haven.

A moment later.

Blood vessels erupted from the giant’s entire body, forming a twisted and bizarre rune shape in mid-air.

Its voice echoed through the void:

“I!”

“Have inherited the power of the High-Dimensional Lord.”

“If there is anything condensed from the power of the High-Dimensional Lord—”

“Witness my authority, obey my command, and reveal your traces before me.”

“I say—”

“Manifest yourself immediately!”

The entire Exile’s Haven trembled.

The White Emperor, Uncle Seven, and other True Constructs all looked at the giant’s shadow with worry.

“Oh my… what a powerful truth…”

Uncle Seven muttered.

“That Lyman just now was also a True Construct, right? This is the dharma idol trying to suppress Shen Ye’s spell and force him to appear by using its body,” Su Su said calmly.

“What do we do, surrender?” The Chaos Ark asked urgently.

“Don’t worry.”

The little girl transformed from the Spirit-Catching Net was as calm as Su Su.

She said, “Shen Ye’s gate ability is a fusion of both Bizarre and Doomsday powers. Even if that giant truly possesses the authority of a High-Dimensional Lord, it cannot simultaneously possess the authority of Doomsday.”

“So it cannot command the Exile’s Haven to manifest!”

Everyone heard this and was somewhat convinced.

After all, the Parasitic Empress and the Spirit-Catching Net, one could control and dominate all constructs, and the other knew many secrets of all living beings.

“Is that so?” The White Emperor asked.

Shen Ye, however, shook his head.

From the moment Xiao Mengyu disappeared, he suddenly realized he had misunderstood something.

—This was the Other Shore!

The information he had obtained was far from enough; he didn’t even understand the sequence on Xiao Mengyu.

At this moment.

Facing an unknown enemy.

How could he claim to be safe and sound?

Suddenly.

The giant’s shadow slowly turned and looked in the direction of the Exile’s Haven.

Almost simultaneously.

Shen Ye whispered, “I’ve never tried this before, but here goes.”

In an instant.

Lines of faint glowing text appeared before his eyes:

“You have activated the term ‘Canticle Valkyrie,’ raising your talent skill ‘Exile’s Haven’ by two levels.”

“Given that you have not obtained elements of the same caliber as ‘Exclusive Fragmented Card of the Old High-Dimensional Lords’ and ‘Doomsday Annihilation Power,’ this upgrade merely ‘simply increased the power of Exile’s Haven.'”

“Congratulations.”

“You have obtained the temporary gate ability:”

“Paradise of the Other Shore.”

“Description: 1. Possesses all the functions of ‘Exile’s Haven’;”

“2. Separated from history, unaffected by all events of past eras.”

A faint ripple swiftly merged into the void, then became formless.

Everyone exchanged glances.

“Do you feel any change?” Shen Ye asked.

“It seems… nothing.” Uncle Seven said.

“But it also seems like something is different.” The Chaos Ark hesitated.

“We are falling.” The White Emperor stated directly.

“Falling?”

Everyone said in unison.

“It does seem like we’re falling, but this feeling of falling is too subtle, and it’s not a physical fall.” The little girl Cassandra mused.

Shen Ye looked up.

Everyone understood and followed suit.

In the sky.

The giant’s phantom gradually faded.

“We’re moving away from it!”

The Chaos Ark said happily.

“And it doesn’t seem to notice, which means your skill is working.” The White Emperor also said.

“How strange, what on earth is going on?”

Cassandra murmured.

She raised her hand and released strands of fate into the void.

The threads gradually straightened.

“The Spiritual Realm…”

Cassandra said.

“Yes, I see it,” Su Su said with delight, “the place you’re connected to is the Spiritual Realm, but as we fall, your threads start to straighten!”

“So we are separating from the Spiritual Realm!” Shen Ye said.

Everyone fell silent.

This was too strange.

It could even be called bizarre.

This bizarreness made a certain answer almost obvious—

“The historical fragments we were in before were all fragments of the Spiritual Realm.”

Shen Ye said.

He seemed to have cleared his mind and continued:

“No wonder they were called historical fragments. In fact, after passing through the Aether, we directly arrived at the Other Shore’s Spiritual Realm!”

“Xiao Mengyu must have made a choice.”

“She stayed in those histories!”

“What about us?” The Chaos Ark asked urgently.

Everyone looked at Shen Ye.

—A certain incredible answer was about to be spoken!

Shen Ye took a deep breath and said:

“Because my ‘Paradise’ gate allows us to ‘separate from history, unaffected by all events of past eras.'”

“So we are falling.”

“Next.”

“We should arrive at the true Other Shore.”

Before he finished speaking.

Everyone felt their bodies pause slightly.

The descent stopped.

They had departed from the dharma idol, from the historical fragments, and arrived at the real “present.”

What was “present” like?

Shen Ye raised his hand and pressed it against the void.

A door quietly appeared.

The Chaos Ark couldn’t help but say, “One small step for you, one giant leap for the myriad worlds.”

Everyone glared at it.

“Prepare for battle at any time.” The White Emperor said.

“Mm.” The others responded.

Shen Ye held the Nether Glow Blade in one hand and pressed against the door with the other, pushing it open with force—

The door slowly opened.

Outside was an endless grassland.

The sky was clear.

The wind was gentle, swirling around Shen Ye’s cheek.

Shen Ye stepped out, crossing the door, and treading on the soft, moist soil.

Buzz—

In the sky.

A streak of light rapidly approached.

In an instant.

The streak of light landed opposite Shen Ye.

It was a playful girl with pink twin pigtails and painted markings on her face.

She hovered in mid-air, scrutinizing Shen Ye up and down, then breathed a sigh of relief:

“It’s a living person.”

“Hello.” Shen Ye greeted.

“Hello to you too—you’re someone who fell out of history, aren’t you?” The girl said.

“That seems about right.” Shen Ye said.

“It’s also good. Welcome, awakened one.”

The girl looked up at the sky.

A giant’s shadow flickered, then disappeared.

“Powerful historical monsters… but they can only exist in history. Unless they ‘descend,’ there’s generally no problem.”

The girl said.

Shen Ye found it familiar and was quickly reminded of a very distant memory.

“Excuse me, where exactly is this place?”

He suppressed the multitude of doubts in his heart and asked.

The girl smiled.

“In the current era, there aren’t many living people left.”

“Come with me.”

“I’ll take you to meet other humans.”

“By the way—”

“The final battle between Doomsday and the High Dimension has long ended, and all racial wars have also concluded.”

“The Spiritual Realm collapsed, leaving only those historical fragments, and humanity lost all its protectors.”

“Now is the era where everything returns to nothingness.”

“We call it—”

“The Epoch of Entropy.”
